Staffing Among Immortals

The woman immediately knelt down, wanting to hug Liu Bing's leg. However, Liu Bing easily dodged her, covering his nose and fanning himself. "Clean yourself up first. You look too unsightly like this."

The woman then remembered her disheveled state. She gave an awkward laugh, and then her spiritual energy surged, instantly expelling all the dirt from her body.

However, as she had only just gained power, the surge of spiritual energy was a bit violent. The entire prison felt like it was experiencing a magnitude seven earthquake, shaking violently.

Liu Bing covered his face speechlessly. With a light step, he instantly stabilized everything and then looked at the woman.

He saw a small pink sheep. Liu Bing sighed and inexplicably muttered Empress Nuwa's common phrase: "Still not enough practice. If you're weak, practice more."

Liu Bing casually took out a piece of clothing and threw it at the woman. "Alright, calm your power down."

The woman then retracted her power with a mixture of astonishment and lingering fascination. That surge of power she had generated was intoxicating. Was this power? She felt like she could shout "I don't eat beef!"

"Stop thinking about not eating beef. Put on the clothes, we need to leave." Liu Bing urged. The commotion here should have attracted the attention of the prison guards, and they would likely be here soon.

The woman then realized that her original clothes had been completely destroyed by her surge of power, leaving her like a peeled egg. Her small face flushed as she quickly put on the clothes.

Then, her vision blurred, the scene changed, and they appeared in a small county town.

The townspeople paid no attention to their appearance, as if they were supposed to be there all along.

These townspeople had dark skin, ragged clothes, and were emaciated. They looked less like citizens and more like refugees.

Liu Bing looked at the people here and suddenly asked, "How long have you been transmigrated?"

"Hmm, about a year or so." The woman thought for a moment, then looked at the System's calendar before answering. Looking at the townspeople, the excitement of her escape unconsciously faded.

She had also transmigrated from the future, from that peaceful era. She had never seen people like this before. Or rather, she had only seen people like refugees on television.

She had only seen such conditions in extremely backward countries in Africa.

When she transmigrated, she appeared in the Forbidden City with her best friend, so she hadn't witnessed the suffering of the common people.

Moreover, after helping her best friend get into Qianlong's bed, she was framed by her best friend, had her limbs broken by her friend's men, her face scarred, and was thrown into prison.

She still remembered her best friend looking at her with venom and saying, "Why are you so beautiful? Don't blame me, just blame yourself for being too beautiful and catching His Majesty's eye."

She was actually quite confused at the time. Her System mission wasn't Qianlong, but to help her best friend. She had clearly told her best friend. Yet, simply because Qianlong took an interest in her, her best friend broke her limbs, scarred her face, and threw her into prison.

It was actually quite comical. Her mission had always been singular: to help her best friend fulfill her wishes.

Yet, after helping her best friend fulfill her wish, the points she earned became her lifeline.

If it weren't for those points, the System would have left long ago. But once the points were spent, the System would still leave.

It was fortunate that Liu Bing arrived in time, otherwise, she would only have been able to collect her own corpse.

"Seeing these people, what are your thoughts?" Liu Bing asked as they walked down the street.

"I..." The woman was speechless. She didn't know what to say. Although she now had power, saving the common people wasn't just about having power.

"Do you want to change this world? Change this country? Do you want to prevent the catastrophe that will happen two hundred years from now?"

Hearing this, the woman looked at the gaunt, emaciated people on the street, and then thought of the near-destruction catastrophe two hundred years later.

Her eyes began to water. Then she thought of a popular saying online: "Transmigrate to the Qing Dynasty and don't rebel? Stick a drill up your ass."

What had she done? She had transmigrated and only helped her best friend with her love life, even helping her get into Qianlong's bed.

"I really deserve to die!" The woman slapped herself.

Seeing the woman's remorse, Liu Bing smiled and suddenly said, "My name is Liu Bing. And yours?"

"My name is Zhou Ru." Zhou Ru replied, then continued to look at the people on the street. Occasionally, she saw people lying by the roadside or sitting on the ground, dressed in rags like beggars. Her conscience tormented her.

After all, she had received nine years of compulsory education. Unless one was a demon, they generally had sympathy.

"Is what you want me to do to change this world?" Zhou Ru suddenly asked.

"Yes, that's right." Liu Bing nodded and readily admitted it.

After all, she had received nine years of compulsory education and came from a society where everyone was equal. She was much more suitable to carry the banner of China than the natives of this world.

The natives of this world had not received a spiritual baptism, and their thinking was still relatively conservative and limited. Liu Bing didn't want to support someone who would then be blinded by desire and become the very evil they fought against.

And, most importantly, Zhou Ru's mindset was very good.

Anyone else, after being treated like that, would have probably turned dark. Yet she could find humor in adversity. This was not something ordinary people could do.

"But, I'm afraid I can't do it." Zhou Ru lacked confidence.

"Don't be afraid. You are invincible in this world. Moreover, you just need to stabilize this world and let the Han People of this world rise again. In the future, you can find historical figures to help you establish a New China."

Liu Bing said with a half-smile, "You can even suppress the world single-handedly and forcibly implement the Red Will with your own will. With your power, you can completely create a red world."

"Uh... Boss, according to you, wouldn't I become the evil dragon?" Zhou Ru knew very well that if she really did that, the Red Will would be distorted.

The Red Will is the will of the people, not the will of an individual.

Liu Bing nodded with satisfaction. Zhou Ru's awareness was quite high.

"Alright, you work hard. If you do well, I'll put you on the list." Liu Bing said, taking out the Investiture of the Gods. "Investiture of the Gods, understand?"

"Hiss! Boss, you have this thing too!" Zhou Ru's eyes widened when she saw the Investiture of the Gods Liu Bing took out. Although in many novels, being on the Investiture of the Gods was a burden.

But for Zhou Ru, the Investiture of the Gods was a stable job, a position among the Immortals. Who could refuse that? Moreover, she was from Shandong!!!
