"Xiao Li, what do you think..."

“Can extraordinary beings build houses?”

"Will extraordinary people build houses?"

“Can extraordinary beings build houses?”

Asking the same question over and over again three times?

Li Jiasu suppressed the complaints in his heart and looked trembling.

He was just about to speak and flatter the devil in front of him.

The devil with a terrifying face and a pair of reading glasses seemed to have seen through Li Jia Shu's inner complaints and directly interrupted the mortal's flattery.

"Haha, those are three questions."

"Boy, with your level of thinking, there is no way you can join our company at the Nine Prisons headquarters."

An "awkward yet polite" smile appeared on Li Jiasu's face.

...

This incident has to start from the day when I died suddenly on the construction site.

The night before he originally planned to run away with the bucket, in order to ensure that the safety and quality inspection passed the next day, Li Jiasu was repeatedly called by the project supervisor and dragged to the contractor to inspect the construction site conditions for four hours at midnight.

Then, when the cold wind blew, Li Jiasu's legs and feet went weak, his head became dizzy, and he fell straight onto the newly poured concrete pile.

He died, and his soul was picked up by the Devil Archduke passing by the Terra Blue Star Crystal Wall System.

When he came back to his senses, he was sitting in a windowless study room. A green flame was burning in the fireplace. The surrounding bookshelves were filled with books with unknown titles. There was a person behind the desk with a terrifying face and reading glasses.

The devil reading a novel.

The title of the novel in his hand is Terra Blue Star text on the side of the spine.

Li Jiasu tilted his head slightly and saw that the title was "Spring and Autumn of the Temple".

Bang! The devil closed the novel and looked at Li Jiasu with his red eyes through his reading glasses.

"I'm finally awake. Don't rush to ask questions, young man. Just recall it first. I've already stuffed the key information into your soul."

Although the devil did not speak Chinese, unexpectedly and not surprisingly, Li Jiasu could understand his language.

Clicking his tongue, he recalled for a few seconds and immediately found the memory forced in by the devil.

His honorary name is Asmodeus, and he is the devil prince of a distant crystal wall system called Toril, and he is a rare true devil god who can live in peace with the Church of the Good God.

What he saw in front of him was just an incarnation of Asmodeus's divine power, not his true form.

And now, it seems, seems, probably, that I have become the ‘Civil Engineering Contract, Cross-Crystal Wall Department Outsourcing Department, Chief Project Supervisor (Internship Period)’ under this devil’s archduke?

A drop of cold sweat flowed from Li Jiasu's forehead.

The words ‘contract’, ‘outsourcing department’, and ‘project supervision’ are not very good no matter how you look at them.

Gathering up the courage, facing the Demon Archduke, he finally said: "Honorable Archduke Asmodeus, I dare to ask..."

He waved his hand and interrupted Li Jiasu: "Save time, you don't need to call me by my honorable name. Just call me Grand Duke Ad."

The Devil's Archduke Asmodeus, abbreviated as Archduke ad, can indeed save time in speaking.

Li Jiasu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to. Then he took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and spoke again:

"Ad Duke, I dare to ask, according to the knowledge you gave me, in the Faerun continent of the planet Toril, you have many temple believer adventurers, and you also have powerful devils of all kinds under your command...

"

"...But why didn't you entrust your mission to your temple believer adventurers or your devil subordinates? Instead, you chose a mortal like me from Terra Blue Star?"

The True God of Devil raised his reading glasses, his red eyes without any emotion, stared at Li Jiasu, and chuckled.

"Xiao Li, what do you think..."

“Can extraordinary beings build houses?”

"Will extraordinary people build houses?"

“Can extraordinary beings build houses?”

Li Jia Shu was stunned, with a trembling expression on his face, and complained in his heart at the same time: "Does a question need to be asked over and over again three times?"

I was just about to speak up and flatter the Grand Duke AD.

The devil's true god with a terrifying face and a pair of reading glasses seemed to have seen through Li Jiasu's inner complaints and directly interrupted the flattery of the mortal.

"Haha, those are three questions."

"Boy, with your level of thinking, there is no way you can join our company at the Nine Prisons headquarters."

An "awkward yet polite" smile appeared on Li Jiasu's face.

AD The Grand Duke took off his reading glasses, wiped the lenses, and said: "I have to go to the filming set of the 'Golarion' crystal wall system later. I won't waste time. Let's get down to business."

"In a remote low magic crystal wall system, someone performed a devil's contract ceremony calling my honorable name."

"In my impression, no matter which of my incarnations, I have never been to that remote crystal wall system. It is probably that some devil or one of my legendary adventurer followers left a copy when passing by that planet.

The blank Nine Hell Contract was then acquired by locals and used recently."

AD The Grand Duke put his reading glasses back on, looking slightly troubled.

"If it's just a regular mortal request, I can just send a devil or a high-level priest there. Hey, requests like building a castle are rare."

"Although some high-level arcane or divine spells can indeed create buildings such as 'mansion', 'fortress', and 'oasis' out of thin air, those are all illusions and not objectively existing civil structures."

"The request made by the mortal in the contract was to rebuild his castle with the help of the Devil's Grand Duke. Well... As a devil's true god with a good reputation, I don't want to use magic to fool that devil.

Named Contractor."

"The devils of the Nine Hells, oh, refers to my subordinates, and the adventurers who worship and believe in me in the temple, are not suitable for this project."

"Originally, I planned to go to the Golarion crystal wall system to catch up with the set, and then find a local dwarf civilian stonemason to entrust this matter..."

The devil's true god stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Jiasu.

"...While passing by your Terra Blue Star Crystal Wall System, I was reminiscing with an old friend and talking about this matter. He recommended you to me and said that you should give it a try."

Li Jia Shu was stunned and asked: "Ah? Do I know any powerful person? Who is he?"

ad Grand Duke: “***.”

Li Jia Shu patted his ears and said, "I'm sorry, could you please say it again?"

adThe Grand Duke frowned slightly and spoke again: "***."

Li Jia Shu's face was full of confusion: "Uh, ad Grand Duke, I didn't hear anything."

The True God of Devil thought for a moment, then shook his head.

He sighed, "It seems that for you people from Terra Blue Star, his name is not allowed to be heard or mentioned. Some kind of cosmic rules have blocked his name. So for you, Xiao Li, you can't

Hear or speak his name."

"Forget it, let's skip this. I'll talk to you about the salary."

Li Jia Shu immediately became energetic.

It seems that AD Grand Duke is a pragmatic boss who does not try to make a big deal, but pays to buy people's hearts.

The devil behind the desk raised his hand and snapped his fingers, snap!

Li Jia Shu suddenly felt that his body was full and enlarged a lot, and a floor-length mirror appeared out of thin air on the wall of the study room, allowing Li Jia Shu to see his own image.

The face is terrifying, a textbook humanoid devil, the kind that can breathe fire from its mouth.

After a second of silence for his human appearance, Li Jiasu asked Grand Duke AD: "Can I change back to a human in the future?"

He nodded, "When your strength improves and you learn extraordinary abilities such as transformation, you can naturally change back to a human form."

"In fact, you were in a soul state before. I reshaped your body just now. So now, you are truly reborn as a devil."

Li Jiasu pressed the triceps of his upper arm and felt that he was full of strength. He could carry six bags of concrete up to the tenth floor at one time without breathing!

"Don't get me wrong, you are a weakling now. If you put it in Faerûn or Golarion, a fledgling paladin would give you two rounds of Evil Slaying Slash, and you would be gone." Grand Duke AD poured a basin of cold water on you and drowned it out.

Li Jia Shu’s blind optimism.

Then He threw a towel to Li Jia.

"Ah, thank you." Li Jiasu took the towel and began to wipe his wet head and upper body.

He really poured cold water on me just now.

"Haha, don't be discouraged. Strength and weakness are all relative. On the remote low-demon planet you are about to go to, probably ordinary mortals or spellcasters will not be able to pose a threat to you." Grand Duke AD added.

"Xiao Li, if you overturn, don't say that you are a devil from the Nine Hells. If word spreads, it will lose my face. Do you understand?"

Li Jiasu, who had just wiped off the water stains on his body, nodded quickly: "I understand, boss, don't worry, I have always been pragmatic, despising the enemy strategically, and paying attention to the enemy tactically."

Bang! The real devil snapped his fingers again.

The towel on Li Jia's hand was replaced by a small dark brown cloth bag at some point.
