D-Rank God Relic Containment Personnel, Twin Life's Active Effect Unlocked. God Relic Containment Company! What kind of heavenly organization was this? He had to join!

Just hearing the name told him he would get to come into contact with plenty of God Relics. What difference was that from letting a rat into a rice bin? At present, God Relics were his only source of divinity. An opportunity to encounter more God Relics was absolutely not something he could miss.

He had yet to fully understand the uses of divinity, but Twin Life alone was enough to show him how important it was.

If he came into contact with enough God Relics, what if he activated one—or even several—more Divinity Skills in the future?

Damn it, if he could have a whole set of unreasonable Divinity Skills like Twin Life, who in this world could possibly stand against him?

"Mm... I had originally planned to invite you to join us anyway. Since you're interested too, that couldn't be better."

Wu Youqing was stunned for quite a while before replying with an odd expression.

"Where is your company located? I don't mean anything by it. I just want to take a look around." Xue Jing said without changing expression.

As she rummaged through her bag, the girl said, "Our headquarters isn't in Sunny City... It's a little far from here. I'll take you there another time."

Obvious disappointment appeared in Xue Jing's eyes. Wu Youqing smiled when she saw it. "It seems you really are interested in God Relics."

"There may not be anyone in this world who likes God Relics more than I do right now." Xue Jing sighed.

Wu Youqing nodded in satisfaction. "That's for the best. Our company needs employees like you the most."

She took out a document from her bag and pushed it in front of Xue Jing.

Five vertical words were printed on the cover—Employment Agreement.

Xue Jing picked up the document, opened it, and flipped through it.

It was a contract hiring him for the position of "God Relic Containment Personnel."

What was written inside was not too different from an ordinary employment contract, except for several additional confidentiality clauses, such as not being allowed to reveal the nature of his work to outsiders or disclose research information related to the God Relics the company had already contained.

There were also benefits and insurance terms, including compensation for injury, disability, death, and so on during containment operations...

"...Is this containment work dangerous?" Xue Jing asked.

Wu Youqing nodded, then shook her head. "Based on their inherent danger, God Relics are divided into D, C, B, and A."

"You've only just joined, so you're D-Rank Containment Personnel. The company will only assign you D-rank God Relic containment work, which is the 'Harmless Grade.'"

"For God Relics of this grade, as long as you completely follow the designated containment procedures, there will basically be no danger."

"If you grow in the future and rise to C-rank, the 'Dangerous Grade,' or B-rank, the 'High-Risk Grade,' only then will you be involved in truly dangerous work."

Xue Jing nodded in understanding. "I see... Right, then what about A-rank?"

"A-rank is the 'Highest-Risk Grade.' The harm God Relics of this grade can cause is immeasurable. They may even affect an entire city or an entire country, while some are capable of causing global-scale consequences."

"You don't need to think about A-rank God Relics for now. When God Relics of that grade appear, they aren't something a single person or company can handle. At that point, official agencies will naturally step in."

Wu Youqing explained.

Xue Jing nodded. "One last question... Why did you choose me to become a Containment Personnel? Even if I've encountered a God Relic before, that doesn't mean I'm qualified for this job. It's obvious this work requires sufficient professional ability. What exactly made you judge that I could become a Containment Personnel?"

Wu Youqing knew nothing about him. She did not know he had a panel, did not know he practiced martial arts, and did not know how formidable he would become in the future. Yet simply because he had encountered a God Relic before, she wanted to recruit him as an employee. Thinking about it, that was rather strange.

Charm Technique showed no reaction on the panel, so she clearly was not driven by lust either.

At his words, a hint of amusement appeared in Wu Youqing's beautiful eyes.

"You got one thing wrong."

She spoke softly.

"It wasn't that 'you came into contact with a God Relic.' It was that 'a God Relic came into contact with you.'"

Xue Jing's gaze flickered as realization dawned on him. "You mean..."

"After years of research into God Relics, we've roughly concluded that God Relics themselves seem to possess a certain degree of 'personal will.'"

Wu Youqing reached out and stroked GOD-1567. "They... actively draw close to people who attract them."

"These God Relics may possess some kind of power that influences fate. You may think you encountered a God Relic by coincidence, but perhaps... it wasn't a coincidence at all."

"It wasn't that you found the God Relic. The God Relic found you," Wu Youqing said, enunciating every word.

"People who can attract God Relics are extremely rare. In fact, as long as you join our company, you probably won't need to do anything at all, and the chances of our company encountering God Relics will greatly increase."

"I'm that kind of person myself. It was because of this special constitution that I eventually became this company's CEO."

"Perhaps... even the chance that you and I met here was itself influenced by a God Relic."

Wu Youqing smiled.

"Now do you understand why I want you to become a Containment Personnel for our company?"

Xue Jing finally understood.

So that was how it was...

No wonder the pay was so generous.

Xue Jing looked at the monthly salary of two hundred thousand listed in the agreement, as well as the various shares and bonuses for successfully containing God Relics.

Xue Jing said sincerely, "Pay doesn't really matter. I mainly just like God Relics. I'm willing to join your company, big sis."

After signing the Employment Agreement with Wu Youqing, exchanging contact information, and agreeing that she would contact him whenever there was God Relic containment work, Xue Jing left the library.

He first went to the teachers' office in the affiliated middle school's main building and asked his homeroom teacher, Du Shiwei, for leave. Then he hurried home.

After entering, he headed straight for the "gym," sat cross-legged in the center of the room, and opened the panel.

Twin Life Lv1 (Divinity required for upgrade: 502/100) Passive: Possesses two lives. After death, can freely choose the revival time within seven days. Cooldown: three months. Active: Unlocked (Unlock requirement: Divinity 502/500. Currently available to unlock.) Divinity Avatar: Unlocked (Unlock requirement: Divinity 502/2000, level reaches Lv10)

Xue Jing took a deep breath and tapped to unlock the active effect.

Unlocked Active: For every Lv1, may designate one ability related to one's physical body. It produces double the effect when used. Currently selectable: Physical Strength, Physical Defense, Movement Speed, Reaction Speed, Calculation Ability, Concentration, Memory...

There were dozens, perhaps hundreds, more options after that, but Xue Jing did not examine them closely.

"Designate one ability... and it produces double the effect?"

Xue Jing said, rubbing his chin.

"In other words, if I choose 'Physical Strength,' then when I use Twin Life, I'll have double the strength?"

It was a little subtle.

This ability... seemed pretty strong, yet at the same time... it did not seem worthy of Twin Life's insanely powerful supernatural passive effect.

Was there something he had not noticed yet?

Xue Jing fell into thought.

"What should I choose for the first ability...?"
