As more and more people ascend, the number of gods in the Heavenly Court is skyrocketing.
The Human Resources Department has decided that gods with fewer than 400 years of service must complete an internship assessment to earn merit. Those who fail must start cultivating all over again.
Chi Li, a little koi who had spent exactly 399 years and 364 days gathering spiritual energy in the Jade Pool after becoming an immortal, and had only just formed a stable human shape:
Damn, a word used to curse. I know that look. Someone's out to get me!
And so the little koi, who looked 21 by her face and barely 12 by her height,
became the most senior immortal by age among the interns.
After that, people often saw
a gorgeous 20-year-old actress, a frosty 30-year-old female CEO, or a white-bearded 70-year-old Taoist priest carrying a pot of mantis shrimp to Chi Li and saying:
“Sis Li, could you help us out with this month's performance review?”

A restaurant opened in Xigua City. The names on the flower baskets sent to celebrate its opening ranged from big shots in the occult world to top-tier stars in the entertainment industry.
Many people came out of curiosity, drawn by its reputation.
But inside, they saw a petite girl in a red jacket, peeling shrimp. She slowly looked up. “Want some good luck? Worship me, then bring me a basin of fresh shrimp.”
At first, passersby rolled their eyes. What kind of restaurant is this? The customers cook for the owner?
Later, after making wishes just to see what would happen, they found their backs no longer hurt, their legs no longer gave out, and their families had more money than they could spend. Even their old hen, which hadn't laid an egg in years, hatched seven chicks at once... Every wish they'd made had come true!
Sister Li, bless me with a promotion, riches, and good health for my family!
The little koi, lying flat while raking in performance points: Merit? Easy as splashing water~

The Three Realms had been at peace for thousands of years. Pei Xiu, once a God of War, had no choice but to give up the martial path and become an HR manager in the Heavenly Court.
His colleagues were wary of his harshness, and his subordinates feared his authority.
Only the little koi at the bottom of the Jade Pool could talk to him like a normal person.
By his calculations, the little koi would soon take human form.
Pei Xiu wanted to confess his feelings to her that day.
But the little koi said: “I'm finally going to become human! I want to go have fun! I want to fall in love! Let's see, should I choose the God of Fire in the catering department, or the God of Wealth at the convenience store...”
Pei Xiu kicked over the mantis shrimp he'd just arranged in the shape of a heart. “Love, my ass. Go do your internship!”
