How come I was born a deity?

Chapter 28: What kind of technique is this?

"Forget it... I won't ask about these things anymore," Wang Shande felt a throbbing pain in his heart. "You'd better keep this safe. This thing is worth far more than you think. If someone with ill intentions sees it, they might try to steal it or even rob it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qi immediately nodded seriously, "It's the so-called murder and robbery, right? I understand."

As he spoke, he put the luminous pearl into his pocket and zipped up his jacket, thus taking precautions.

Wang Shande: "..."

For practitioners, this level of protection is essentially non-existent.

"You should give it to Shen Nianxu later," Wang Shande shook his head, then asked, "Why did Granny Qin mention the newcomer evaluation to you? What did you talk about?"

Chen Qi didn't hide anything and replied, "We just asked her if she could vote for me in the Qin family's election at the end of the year, and Grandma Qin said yes, but on some conditions."

Wang Shande finally understood. "She won't let you get an A grade or higher in the new employee evaluation, will she?"

"Rank A? No, not at all," Chen Qi shook his head. "She didn't let me get a rank."

Wang Shande was somewhat confused, "Not taking ranks? Then what's the point of having you?"

"She wants me to get a top ten ranking in the newcomer evaluation."

"..."

Wang Shande wondered if he was getting old and hard of hearing, so he rubbed his ears and asked, "Say it again?"

Chen Qi: "My godmother wanted me to get a top ten ranking in the newcomer evaluation."

Wang Shande: "Holy crap! Top ten?"

"Yes," Chen Qi nodded seriously, "Is there a problem?"

Wang Shande's tone was horrified, "You still ask me what the problem is... Isn't there a problem everywhere? Do you know how hard it is to get into the top ten in the newcomer evaluation? You're not even a second-tier cultivator yet, and you want to be in the top ten? Isn't that like asking cavemen to develop nuclear bombs?"

"Is that so?" Chen Qi also looked surprised. "I don't know either, but the situation was very complicated at the time. We had to agree, or it would have been very troublesome."

Wang Shande didn't know what exactly happened at the Qin family's firm, but he could probably guess.

Given Shen Nianxu's personality, she must have done something to upset someone.

Ugh……

This girl is just as troublesome as her previous boss.

"So, you're going to participate in this year's new employee evaluation, right?"

Chen Qi nodded, "Yes, but I don't know how to register either. I was originally planning to ask Shen Nianxu when she came back, but since you're here, I'll just ask you directly."

Wang Shande was, after all, a cultivator representing the official authorities, and according to Shen Nianxu, even the He family had to give Wang Shande face. This was enough to show that he was a highly respected cultivator and certainly knew more than she did.

"It's the same whether you contact her or me directly," Wang Shande explained, "because you still need to contact me to register."

"The death of the leader of Qingcheng was too sudden, leaving the entire city in a state of leaderlessness. Recently, there has been a surge in paranormal events, so this year's newcomer evaluation was set in Qingcheng."

"And I am the person in charge of this year's new talent evaluation and a special invited judge."

Chen Qi's eyes lit up. "That's great! I'll leave the registration to you..."

Wang Shande raised his hand to interrupt Chen Qi, "However, precisely because I am the person in charge of this year's newcomer evaluation, there are some unpleasant things to say beforehand."

"The competition for the top ten in this year's new talent evaluation is extremely difficult."

"In previous years, having the strength of a second-tier cultivator was enough to secure an A-level evaluation, and having the strength of a third-tier cultivator was enough to secure a top-ten ranking."

"But this year, even with the strength of a third-tier cultivator, it's not guaranteed that you'll be in the top ten."

As he spoke, Wang Shande sighed with a hint of pessimism, "Not to mention, you're not even a second-tier cultivator anymore."

"Is that so?" Chen Qi wasn't annoyed. "It doesn't matter. Let's just sign up first. What if my godmother sees my efforts and decides to vote for me? Right? Let's just take it one step at a time."

Such naive ideas are not tolerated in the cultivation world...

Listening to Chen Qi's words, Wang Shande silently complained to himself.

However, words cannot teach people; only actions can teach them to learn. Therefore, Wang Shande did not intend to correct Chen Qi's idea.

"Then I'll register you for the exam," Wang Shande said, leaning on his cane. "Speaking of which, what about Shen Nianxu? I came here mainly to see her; there's something I need her to handle."

Chen Qi replied, "Oh, she went with Hu Yao to buy bedding and toiletries. She might not be back for a while."

"Hu Yao?" Wang Shande recalled for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Oh... that young demon from Shangqing Palace, I didn't expect that Master Xuanqing would actually send her down the mountain and have her join your book club..."

At this point, Wang Shande's eyes suddenly turned cold. "You didn't make her do heavy physical labor or work long hours, did you?"

Chen Qi waved his hands repeatedly, "How could that be? I didn't even know our bookstore had any work."

"That's good," Wang Shande nodded. "Otherwise, I would have to consider arresting you on charges of employing child labor."

Chen Qi laughed and said, "There's no need to worry about that. We never intended to pay her a salary."

Wang Shande: "..."

Speechless, Wang Shande curled his fingers and tapped lightly on the bar counter. "Never mind, I'll wait for Shen Nianxu to come back. Give me a drink."

Chen Qi nodded. "What would you like to drink?"

"Either is fine, then green tea it is."

"Alright," Chen Qi didn't even move his butt from the stool. With a wave of his hand, a bottle of Master Kong green tea from the freezer landed in his hand. "Here you go, Uncle Wang, your green tea."

Wang Shande was about to complain that the "green tea" he was talking about wasn't this kind of green tea, but he suddenly came to his senses, stared at Chen Qi's hand for a long time, and asked, "You... what did you just do?"

"Just some green tea for you," Chen Qi replied casually. "Is there a problem?"

Wang Shande was taken aback. "How did you take that out just now?"

"I just took it out like that," Chen Qi even demonstrated again, taking a bottle of Gatorade from the freezer remotely. "Here you go."

boom!

Wang Shande suddenly jumped up from the stool, grabbed Chen Qi's shoulder, and asked excitedly, "You...you...what kind of technique is this?"

Chen Qi was dumbfounded and replied, "This seems to be called... Flying Clamping Technique. I heard it's a technique invented by Guiguzi."

Flying Clamp Technique?!

Wang Shande almost bit his tongue.

The Qin family firm does indeed possess an authentic copy of the Flying Clamping Technique, which is said to be treasured by the Qin family firm and kept in their warehouse. However, to date, apart from Guiguzi himself, no one has been able to learn this technique.

Now, Chen Qi is actually telling me that he has learned it?

They even used it right in front of me?!

Holy crap, what's wrong with this world?!

Chen Fuzhou! Is your son's mother a goddess or something?!
