Chapter 123: Chapter 123
Chapter 123 - Finding a Job is No Easy Task
“What do we do? Lord Demon Sovereign wants us to get jobs…”
In the living room, after Lin Fan had finished scolding them and left, Meizhi and the others immediately held a top-level Four Demon Generals meeting to discuss the matter.
Meizhi was the leader of the Incubus Clan, Longye was a descendant of the Nine Nether Dragon, Mokui was the longest-surviving peerless genius girl of the Hefa Clan, and Yingnü was a monstrously talented girl nurtured by a generation of the Shadow Clan.
The family backgrounds of the four of them were all extraordinary; it would be no exaggeration to say they were born with golden spoons in their mouths. On the Immortal-Demon Continent, each of them was a peerless expert who could dominate a region.
Since birth, besides cultivating and fighting, they had never done a day's work, let alone held a job.
Especially in this world with no spiritual energy, where they couldn't expose their identities or use their powers, the idea of them getting a job left them completely at a loss and feeling very troubled.
To be honest, they didn't even know how to find a job in this world.
Just as they were all at their wit's end, they saw Meizhi, without a word, silently and quickly tapping on his phone screen. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel⟡fire.net
“Meizhi, have you already got an idea?”
Longye asked curiously.
The other three also turned their gazes to him, full of curiosity.
When it came to Lord Demon Sovereign's orders, he was usually the first to execute them without hesitation. Even if he were asked to charge into the fray, he wouldn't hesitate in the slightest.
Every time Lord Demon Sovereign gave a command, he was always the fastest and the one who completed it best.
This time, since Lord Demon Sovereign had given the order to find work, he must have already had an idea and was already taking action!
Just as they expected, Meizhi held up his phone, showing the screen to the others.
“I am writing a resume.”
Longye and the others looked confused, having no idea what a so-called 'resume' was.
Seeing their expressions, Meizhi gave a simple explanation:
“A resume is the personal information that mortals in this world fill out when seeking a job. In this world, you don't need to go out; you can just fill out a resume online and submit it to companies to find work.”
“Ooh! The mortals of this world are that amazing? You can find a job without even leaving the house.”
Longye and the others were shocked, and they all stood up and gathered around Meizhi.
“Quick, teach This King how to do it!”
“Where do you write this resume?”
“…I'd like to know too.”
Under their urgent questioning, Meizhi's brows furrowed slightly.
“I am also still figuring it out. There are many things on the resume form that I don't know how to fill out. Perhaps we need to ask Lord Demon Sovereign and Madam for guidance.”
With that, Meizhi stood up and, under the gazes of Longye and the others, walked straight out the door, went to Lin Fan's apartment, and knocked lightly.
“Lord Demon Sovereign, this subordinate has a matter to consult with you.”
Lin Fan's voice came from inside the room.
Meizhi pushed open the door and entered.
Lin Fan, thinking it was someone from next door who had caused trouble again, asked irritably.
“Lord Demon Sovereign, it's actually a small personal matter that this subordinate needs to consult you about.”
“This subordinate apologizes profusely for disturbing you and Madam.”
Meizhi bowed and apologized.
Hearing that it wasn't someone from next door causing trouble again, Lin Fan's brow relaxed, and his tone softened a little.
“A personal matter? What is it?”
“Didn't you tell us to find work? This subordinate was trying to submit a resume online but has run into a bit of difficulty and doesn't know how to fill it out.”
Meizhi held out his phone with both hands, showing the unfinished resume form to Lin Fan.
Hearing that it was about a resume, Long Yue couldn't help but recall her own first time filling one out, and she also came over curiously.
When it came to filling out resumes, she was an expert!
Lin Fan leaned in for a look, and his brow immediately furrowed.
He saw that the contents of Meizhi's resume were almost identical to Long Yue's from before: an age of several hundred years, an education history that didn't even include elementary school, and various work experiences like serving as one of the Four Great Demon Generals in the Demon Realm and commanding an army of tens of thousands.
“Meizhi, you can't write it …”
“As I thought! You think so too, Lord Demon Sovereign. This subordinate also felt this was inappropriate. Writing it this way might expose this subordinate's identity as a member of the Demon Race, which would go against your decree, Lord Demon Sovereign.”
Meizhi stroked his chin, an 'I-knew-it' expression on his face.
Lin Fan didn't know what to say.
He wasn't actually worried that writing it this way would expose his identity as a demon; after all, it was highly unlikely anyone would believe it.
The real reason he was against it was that writing it this way would just get him treated like an idiot, and he'd never be able to find a job…
“Meizhi, change all of your 'Demon Realm experiences' into 'school experiences'. For example, change 'commanded an army of one hundred thousand in the Demon Realm' to 'organized a large-scale campus activity for over ten thousand people.'”
Lin Fan pointed to the 'school experience' section of the resume and offered his revisions.
Hearing this, Meizhi's face showed deep admiration.
“So that's how it is! Truly, as expected of you, Lord Demon Sovereign!”
“To think of disguising this subordinate's experiences in the Demon Realm as experiences in this world!”
“This way, this subordinate won't be suspected!”
With that, Meizhi, right in front of Lin Fan, began to focus on revising his resume.
A short while later, he presented the newly revised resume to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan took a look and nodded in approval.
“Hmm… not bad. Much better!”
After the revisions, the resume that had originally looked like it was written by someone with chūnibyō suddenly looked much more proper.
Whether it was his age or his school experience, he had revised and polished everything according to the templates he found online, combined with his own experience as a Demon General in the Demon Realm. It now looked no different from the resume of an ordinary recent graduate.
“To receive Lord Demon Sovereign's praise, this subordinate is greatly honored.”
The corners of Meizhi's mouth lifted joyfully, and he immediately asked:
“Lord Demon Sovereign, do you think I can start submitting it now?”
Lin Fan gave an affirmative reply. Just then, Long Yue put on the air of a senior and interjected:
“This Empress also submitted resumes to find a job just like you back then. You'd better be mentally prepared; finding a job in this world is not an easy task.”
“You might have to wait a long time before someone replies and you get an interview invitation.”
The moment her words fell, Meizhi lifted his head and said faintly:
“It seems this subordinate has just received an interview invitation.”
Long Yue was abruptly shocked, a look of disbelief on her face.
Isn't that a little too fast!
Back then, she had waited a full several days for an interview invitation without hearing a thing, and you get one the moment you submit your resume?
In comparison, doesn't that make her, the Empress, seem like someone nobody wants...
At this moment, Long Yue couldn't help but feel dealt a heavy blow, and for a time, she was plunged into self-doubt.
Why could he get an interview invitation so quickly? Why…
“An interview invitation for what kind of job?” Lin Fan asked curiously.
The speed at which Meizhi received an interview invitation was simply too fast, so fast that he couldn't help but be curious. What kind of job had he even applied for?
“This subordinate doesn't know either. It seems to be for… a 'Cowherd'?”
Lin Fan and Long Yue were shocked.
A 'Cowherd'... isn't that the legendary male host!
