"Hmm..."

Looking at the resume Long Yue had personally filled out, Lin Fan frowned deeply, at a loss for words.

"Empress, is this the resume you wrote?"

"What do you think? Not bad, right~?"

Long Yue proudly lifted her delicate nose, her face brimming with smug satisfaction.

"No! Absolutely not!"

Lin Fan mercilessly rejected her resume.

If she submitted this resume, there would probably be only one outcome: people would think she was an idiot...

"Why isn't it acceptable?!"

Seeing the resume she had worked so hard on dismissed outright, Long Yue argued indignantly.

In her view, her resume was undoubtedly the finest and most unparalleled resume in the world. Who wouldn't be awed by her glorious accomplishments after reading it?

Lin Fan rolled his eyes speechlessly at Long Yue and pointed at the age section of her resume.

"Empress, setting aside whether anyone would believe your work experience and project experience, no one would believe that you're over a thousand years old either!"

"In this world, living past a hundred is already considered exceptional longevity!"

"At your age of over a thousand, you'd be considered an old witch in this world!"

"An... old witch...?"

Long Yue silently lowered her head, her eyes gradually growing dim and vacant.

Lin Fan's words were like a sharp sword piercing straight through her heart. It hurt even more than taking a full-force palm strike from him...

She was clearly only a little over a thousand years old. In the Immortal Realm, she was in the prime of her youth—calling her a young maiden of the Immortal Realm would not have been an exaggeration.

But here, had she actually become a woman on the level of an old witch...?

"Also, your desired salary is too high. Who asks for a hundred thousand at their first job?"

Lin Fan failed to notice Long Yue's low spirits and continued correcting her resume item by item.

"Smack!"

Long Yue slapped the table and rose to her feet, puffing out her cheeks as she said pitifully:

"This Empress is the Empress of the Extreme Saint Heavenly Palace! Is it too much to ask for a salary of one hundred thousand?!"

With her status and abilities as the Empress of the Extreme Saint Heavenly Palace, she felt that asking for only a hundred thousand was already very little!

"Empress, salaries in this world are determined by your previous work experience, project experience, and educational background. None of your experiences in the Immortal Realm count here. No one would believe them."

"Do you know what your resume would look like if you submitted it?"

"Like what?"

"Like someone causing trouble."

Long Yue: "..."

Under Lin Fan's sharp verbal assault, Long Yue fell silent and ultimately had no choice but to honestly face reality.

Here, she was no longer the Empress of the Immortal Realm who could command the wind and rain, revered and worshipped by all...

"But if I don't write it like this, this Empress has nothing else to put down..."

Long Yue lowered her head gloomily, her expression desolate.

Whether in this world or the Immortal Realm, she had never attended school. She had studied in the palace by herself since childhood and had no educational qualifications.

Other than her experience serving as Department Head of various departments and as Empress in the Immortal Realm, she had no other work experience or project experience.

"Forget it. I'll help you revise your resume."

Seeing Long Yue's dispirited mood, Lin Fan took her phone back and began changing it line by line.

"First of all, there aren't any surnames like Long in this world. You need to add a surname to your name, such as Lin Obscura Moon."

Long Yue lay across the table and leaned close to Lin Fan, watching him make the changes.

"Why does this Empress have to share the same surname as you, Demon Supreme?"

"...I was just giving you an example. If there's another surname you like, you can change it later."

Lin Fan tapped Long Yue on the head with a finger, then continued revising.

"Next is your age. No one will believe you're over a thousand. You don't have to be so honest, Empress. Just make up an age that sounds about right."

"Then change it to sixteen~," Long Yue said happily.

Lin Fan: "..."

Lin Fan raised his head, wearing an expression like he had no idea what to say.

"Empress, do you think you look like a sixteen-year-old girl...?"

"Hey! Look carefully! How do I not look like one?!"

Long Yue's pretty face flushed at his words, and she glared at Lin Fan in embarrassment and anger.

Lin Fan examined her face over and over.

"Hmm... You look about twenty."

"Hmph, twenty will do."

Upon hearing Lin Fan's assessment that she looked twenty, Long Yue's lips curled upward smugly, and the gloom in her heart vanished without a trace.

Though it was not the sixteen she had wanted, twenty was reluctantly acceptable.

Sure enough, she still looked very young~

Watching Long Yue practically write the words smug and self-satisfied across her face, Lin Fan smiled helplessly.

She was over a thousand years old, yet she still acted like a little girl...

Still, by the standards of the Immortal-Demon Continent, her age did seem rather young...

"Then let's change your salary to ten thousand."

"T-Ten thousand...? Isn't that a little too low...?"

Her desired salary had suddenly dropped from one hundred thousand to ten thousand, and Long Yue felt an enormous sense of loss, as though she had instantly lost ninety thousand.

"Empress, a monthly salary of ten thousand is already quite a lot in this world."

"If you put down one hundred thousand, no company will ever consider you," Lin Fan patiently persuaded her.

"Fine..."

In order to find a job as soon as possible, Long Yue could only accept Lin Fan's suggested changes.

When they reached the education section, Lin Fan thought seriously for a moment before changing her education level to high school.

A college degree required a graduation certificate and degree certificate. Clearly, Long Yue had neither, so she could only list a high school education.

For a high school education, one generally did not need to provide a graduation certificate or anything like that.

After that, Lin Fan carefully fabricated a rich work history for her.

From a milk tea shop employee to an assistant at a large company, he added all kinds of work experience.

"Demon Supreme, this Empress has never done any of the things you wrote..."

Looking at the revised resume, Long Yue's delicate brows furrowed slightly in confusion.

The resume clearly stated that she was skilled at shaking milk tea, making desserts, and even preparing burgers and fried chicken...

But she only knew how to eat those things. She had never made them...

"Empress, a resume needs a little polishing. Otherwise, it's difficult to stand out from the crowd."

As an old hand who had graduated many years ago, Lin Fan made the promise with complete confidence.

Given Long Yue's situation—no education and no work experience—if they did not add something to her resume, she would probably have a hard time finding work for the rest of her life.

"Fine then. This Empress will start submitting resumes!"

Long Yue's eyes sharpened as she nervously and expectantly began submitting her resume through recruitment apps...
