Chapter 7 Entering the New World for the First Time 1
"Happy 17th birthday, Brother Keke!" Ding Keke was surrounded by a group of children. They were saying blessings, but their eyes were fixed on the chocolate cake.
"Thank you everyone!" Ding Keke lowered his head and bent over, opened his mouth and took a big breath. Just as he was about to blow out the candles, a gust of wind blew out all the candles on the cake.
Ding Ke looked at Ding Duoduo with a laugh and said, feigning anger: "Ding Duoduo, this happens every year, can't you let me blow out the candles and make a wish by myself?"
"Brother Duoduo did the right thing this time. Brother Keke's wish is to leave the orphanage as soon as possible, and we can't let him realize it." Xiao Min, who was already waist-high, took the lead.
"Just now, I have promised you. Cut the cake, cut the cake, and everyone is drooling!" Ding Duoduo picked up the paper plate, led a group of greedy cats, and started to divide the cake, not forgetting to leave some for Ding Keke.
A small piece.
"Come one by one, don't grab them, they are all available." Dean Li protected the children who were squeezing forward while helping to pass the plates.
Ding Duoduo is now the child king in the orphanage. While sharing the cake, he did not forget to wish: "Happy birthday!"
Ding Keke looked at the dean who was pulling the child, and then at the younger brothers and sisters in front of him with mouths full of cream, his eyes were full of reluctance.
"Do you have to leave?" Ding Duoduo handed him a plate of cake with strawberries.
"Well, it takes longer and longer for the soul-capturing beads to turn gray, and the greater the drain on the body. Although I recover faster than ordinary people, it is difficult to cover up regular physical injuries." Ding Keke said softly.
"If you leave here, I'm going back too." Ding Duoduo said with a hint of reluctance in his tone.
"The paper can't stop the fire. The dean has reported this matter to the police twice. Not every time he can escape the questioning of the police and the dean." Ding Keke looked at everyone. He didn't want to embarrass those who cared about him.
"Brother, please wish yourself well." Ding Duoduo patted Ding Keke on the shoulder, stood up and left.
Ding Keke looked at his back and thought: If his life is destined to be miserable, whether it is good or bad is also part of him, and he must face it by himself.
There is a wider world outside the white walls, and he secretly made up his mind to go out and face life head-on.
"Keke, wait one more year. It won't be too late to leave after you turn eighteen. By then you will have completed high school and you can make a living outside." Ding Keke proposed to leave again. Dean Li was like a nagging mother, patiently
advised.
"I want to go out and face life early so that I can accumulate more experience."
"However, you are still a minor child, and the world is difficult, and many adults would find it difficult to cope with it."
"I have grown up, so I want to go out earlier." Ding Keke insisted.
"You are like this. If you are stubborn, nothing can be done to you. You must remember that the orphanage is your home. If you are in trouble, remember to find your family."
"Remember."
"The hospital will try to help you apply for some living allowance and take a year off school. Remember, only studying can change your destiny. No matter how difficult it is, don't give up on your studies." Dean Li happily sends away seven or eight children every year. She knows
They were heading towards a better future, but facing Ding Keke's unknown, she really couldn't bear it.
"Well! Thank you, Dean!"
Fourteen years later, Yaizhen returned to the fairy world. As soon as he entered the Nantian Gate, he bumped into an invisible barrier.
"Master Yaizhen, welcome back from your mission. Thank you for your hard work!" A floating, smart voice came from far and near. A kind, beautiful young lady wearing a blue and white professional suit stood in front of Yaizhen.
Yaizhen didn't see the guards guarding Nantianmen, and he became suspicious. During the melee, they never left their posts, so he hurriedly asked: "What happened? Where are the guards?"
The young lady showed a professional smile: "Shangxian Yaizhen, starting ten years ago, Nantianmen only has fairies to welcome guests, and there are no guards. You have not returned to the immortal world for more than ten years. In the past ten years, the immortal world has been under the leadership of the ancient god.
, made many changes.”
Yaizhen was even more confused this time: "The Immortal Realm is already the strongest among the three realms. Does it still need to make changes?"
"The Ancient God warns everyone, "The immortal world must keep pace with the times, and let technology and immortal magic and Taoism coexist."
"The barrier in front of you is the result of the combination of microwaves and magic. The entire fairy world is covered with 24-hour microwave surveillance, and not even a grain of alien sand can escape its eyes." The fairy sister proudly introduced it to Yaizhen.
At this time, a slightly bald soul wearing glasses floated over and asked timidly: "How can I get to the Heavenly Realm Elite Department?"
"Shouldn't the dead souls report to the underworld?" Yaizhen's eyes almost fell off. What happened again?
"This is a plan by the god to recruit elites from the human world."
"Hello, please show me your passcode."
The dead soul stretched out his arm and swung it to the wall, and the identity information of the dead soul appeared in front of him:
Name: Wang Zhiyuan
Occupation: IT senior programmer
Age at death: 32 years old,
Cause of death: Death from overwork
"Elite Undead, the information is consistent, direct access to the IT Department of the Immortal Realm, Software Department." A mechanical female voice announced out of thin air.
"Congratulations, Mr. Wang Zhiyuan has been crowned the immortal world. Please continue to contribute to the IT cause in the future!"
"The underworld told me that I came here to deal with reincarnation, why do I still do it?" Wang Zhiyuan looked frightened.
"Mr. Wang Zhiyuan, Donald Knut, the originator of IT, is also here. You can work together for 500 years and then reincarnate again. This is a life extension plan specially designed by the God for the elites of the human world. Congratulations on becoming a part of the plan.
." The young lady always has a smile on her face.
"I have dedicated my life to the IT industry and I don't want to do this career anymore." When Wang Zhiyuan heard that he would work for 500 years, he was stunned on the spot.
"Mr. Wang, your life will never be in danger when you work here. And there are rules in heaven. If you don't want to go to heaven, I can only send you to hell to be punished for 500 years." The young lady smiled and introduced the most severe punishment for the undead.
historical punishment.
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhiyuan scanned the code and ducked through the barrier.
"After passing the Nantianmen, turn left for one thousand meters. There is the reception area for the dead soul elites." The dedicated lady never forgot to tell you the route.
Yaizhen looked at this wave of manipulations to steal people, which was even more ruthless than giving away household registrations and apartments in the human world, and finally understood why the fairy world had undergone such rapid changes.
The young lady handed Yaizhen a small square shaped like a finger: "Please put your index finger on it. We will draw your blood and establish a DNA personal archive."
Yaizhen pinched the small square and joked: "If you find my brothers and sisters, remember to tell me!"
"You are the only one in heaven and earth, unless you have an illegitimate son of an elite in the mortal world."
"This is my lifelong dream, but no fairy sister likes me." Yaizhen complained angrily.
"DNA sampling is to establish and improve your personal information, extract and record your merits at any time; it is also a pass for you to travel." The lady explained politely.
"KPI and pass card?"
“It’s okay to understand it this way!”
"The results are out! Among the 100,000 generals, your merit ranks 18th. Congratulations!"
"So fast!" Yaizhen's jaw dropped again. In the human world, the DNA results would take 1-2 days, but here they would be available in seconds.
"Thank you for your affirmation! Your information shows that 35 sisters sent you flowers. Congratulations!"
"It seems that I am expected to be single this year!" Yaizhen browsed the list of flowers.
"The Ancient God has left a message, asking you to go to Taixu Palace."
Taixu Palace
Taegu is dressed in a light white robe, with his hair untied. He is elegant and refined, and has a scorching fairy posture. He is better than the male protagonist in a novel about cultivating immortals.
There are several modern books on the table. The titles of the books are "My Handbook of Cultivation of Immortality" and "Heaven and Earth" which blinded my eyes. I hold a copy of "Cultivation of Immortality" in my hand, and my concentration is no less than that of a college entrance examination student preparing for the exam.
After not returning home for more than ten years, Yaizhen was shaken by this scene. He silently recited the Qingxin Jue several times in his mind to avoid losing his composure in front of the hall.
He bowed his body and clasped his fists and said, "Master, Ding Keke has left the orphanage and is here to return."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!" Taigu stood up and looked at Yaizhen with calm and gentle eyes.
For the first time in hundreds of thousands of years, I heard the words "Thank you" from Taikoo's mouth, and he still has this look in his eyes. Are you rehearsing for an acting performance?
Yaizhen was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He vigorously turned on the self-examination mode and recited the Qingxin Jue n times.
His expression remained unchanged, but his heart was beating wildly: "That's right, it's not hard! Master, please take back the Soul-Capturing Bead." He handed over the light gray Soul-Capturing Bead.
Taigu took the soul-capturing bead, explored it with his right hand, and said to himself: "Is it purified so quickly?"
Taigu picked up the soul-capturing bead on the table and handed it to Yaizhen: "This secondary bead will be left to you for safekeeping."
"Ding Keke only endured the pain of his muscles and bones in the orphanage. He has a kind heart, and the Soul-Capturing Pearl only stains the surface, so he is purified quickly. Leaving the shelter of the orphanage and entering the mortal world is a new beginning. Just wait and see what happens.
"
"As long as the Soul-Captivating Pearl has not turned transparent, there is no need to intervene."
After explaining it, Taigu devoted himself fully to the story of cultivating immortality.
More than ten years ago, Qing Xuan forced his way into the immortal world, and Taigu fought with him, forcing him to temporarily change his plan to accompany Ding Keke.
However, after just a few days in the mortal world, he was shocked by the technology in the mortal world. He felt that under his leadership, the world of immortals and ghosts had been stagnant for hundreds of thousands of years. As the saying goes, if you don't advance, you will retreat. He vowed to make immortals
, the two worlds of ghosts are in line with the times.
Returning to the fairy world, he has been leading the immortals and ghosts to learn knowledge in humanities, technology, and management.
The management of the immortal and ghost worlds are originally the best ones selected for thousands of years. With the blessing of immortal arts and magic weapons, their learning ability is ten times or a hundred times that of Ling Lang.
For more than ten years, Taikoo has carried out a series of reforms in the fairy world and the ghost world, and has achieved some success.
In the past few years, most of the work has been on the right track, and we still need to proceed step by step in the future.
Delegation of power is the most effective management method. He delegates power to each fairy and ghost management team according to function and level. He stands at the top of the pyramid and formulates strategies.
With nothing to do and nothing to do, he rarely took a break, but he found that human novels were so exciting, and he couldn't put it down especially novels about cultivating immortals and immortal heroes.
The most hateful thing is that some online novels are frequently interrupted, leaving big and small holes without filling them, which makes people feel itchy. The story is in the author's mind, so he can only worry.
The aunt employed by Kaixin Fast Food Restaurant has returned to her hometown to take care of her baby. These days, only the couple is busy in the store.
The boss had just sent away the last batch of lunch guests, and he was so tired that his waist was no longer his own.
The inside and outside of the store were in a mess, with several tables piled with plates, bowls and chopsticks, and many places were voluntarily (and had to) cleaned up (stacked high) by the dining guests; outside the store, there were piles of kitchen waste and tableware to be washed.
Filled two pots.
There are still more than three hours until the next batch of customers, and there is nothing to worry about. The boss rarely takes a break, so he lies on the armchair and scrolls through his mobile phone.
Ding Keke looked at the dishes waiting to be processed in the store, gathered up his courage, and asked: "Boss, are you hiring?"
"Hi, Hi." The boss put away the phone with a smile. In front of him was a tall, thin young man who looked very strong.
Ding Keke was overjoyed, thinking about his previous encounters, but also worried, holding his ID card tightly in his right hand.
The boss reached out and took the ID card: "It's rare for young people to work as handymen these days!"
"17 years old..." The boss looked at Ding Keke carefully again. This boy was about 1.8 meters tall and had a celebrity face, but his face was not as childish as that of his peers.
"It doesn't look like 17, alas! If you are underage, you can't use it..." The boss returned the ID card to Ding Keke in disappointment: "You ran away to get angry with your family, right? Go home as soon as you are done with it!"
Ding Keke said this about his situation.
The boss shrugged and said helplessly: "Although you are in trouble, young people really don't dare to use child labor if it is against the law. If found out, this shop will probably close down."
Ding Keke tried his best: "If you don't tell, no one will know if I don't tell."
Ding Keke looked at his boss with pleading eyes: "I'm very diligent. I can wash dishes, clean, and do all the dirty work. I don't get paid for the first month. I just take care of food and housing."
This is the thirty-first store he has looked for in half a month, and all of them have rejected him with "not for use by minors."
Rongcheng was originally a small city with few job opportunities. The money he brought out from the orphanage was not much left after living in hotels and eating for more than ten days. He urgently needed a job, but if he couldn't find it, he would really end up living on the streets.
The boss took out his mobile phone, swiped through WeChat and TikTok: "Look, there are too many people looking for new news and stories on online live broadcasts, Weibo, and WeChat. A tall and handsome young man is here carrying dishes and washing dishes.
Such an eye-catching thing spread all over the Internet in minutes."
"I...I..." Ding Keke hesitated for a long time and couldn't go on. What they said made sense. What's wrong with obeying the law? But...
Ding Keke held the remaining 43 yuan in her hand, which was not enough for tonight's rent.
A man stood in the wind, and the wind passed through his thin body, shivering.
