I Will Grind My Way To Godhood

"You know that this job involves contact with many divine relics. Isn't this like letting a mouse loose in a grain bin for him?"

Currently, the only source of "divinity" is these divine relics. With more opportunities to interact with them, he can't afford to miss out.

He hasn't fully understood the role of "divinity" yet, but just the "Twins" ability alone is enough to show its importance.

What if, with enough exposure to divine relics, he ends up unlocking one or even several divine skills?

Damn, if he could possess a set of divine skills as unreasonable as "Twins," who in the world could possibly resist him?

“Hmm... I was originally planning to invite you to join anyway, so if you're interested, that's even better.”

Wu Youqing was surprised for a moment before responding with a peculiar expression.

“Where is your company based? I don't mean anything else, just curious to have a look around,” Xue Jing replied calmly.

While rummaging through her bag, the girl said, “Our company headquarters isn't in Qing City... it's a bit far, but maybe I'll take you there someday.”

Xue Jing showed visible disappointment, making Wu Youqing chuckle, “It seems you really are quite keen on divine relics.”

“There may be no one in this world who likes divine relics more than I do at this moment,” Xue Jing sighed.

Hearing this, Wu Youqing nodded with approval, “That's perfect; our company needs employees just like you.”

She pulled out a document from her bag and pushed it in front of Xue Jing.

On the front cover were five vertical characters—Employment Agreement.

Xue Jing picked up the document and flipped through it.

It was a contract proposal for the position of 'Divine Relic Containment Specialist.'

The contents were not much different from a standard employment contract, although there were additional confidentiality clauses. For instance, prohibiting disclosure of one’s work and forbidding the sharing of information about the company's research on contained divine relics.

There were also some welfare and insurance agreements, such as compensation for injuries or death during containment activities...

“... Is this containment specialist role very dangerous?” Xue Jing asked.

Wu Youqing nodded, then shook her head: "Divine relics are categorized by their inherent danger into D, C, B, and A levels."

“You have just joined the company, so you're a Grade D specialist. The company will only assign D-grade, or 'harmless level', divine relic containment tasks to you."

“With this level of divine relics, as long as you follow the designated steps exactly, it will generally not be dangerous."

“If you grow in the future and advance to Grade C, or 'dangerous level', or even Grade B, 'highly dangerous level', you would then encounter truly risky work."

“I see... So what about Grade A?” Xue Jing wondered aloud.

“Grade A is the 'extremely dangerous level.' The harm these relics can cause is incalculable, potentially affecting an entire city, or even a whole nation, some can even have global impacts."

“You don’t need to worry about Grade A relics for now. When such relics appear, they're not something a single person or a company can handle. Official agencies will take action." Wu Youqing explained.

Xue Jing nodded, "One last question... Why choose me to be a specialist? Just because I've encountered divine relics before doesn’t mean I qualify, right? This job clearly requires adequate professional skills, on what basis do you consider me qualified for this role?"

Wu Youqing didn't know anything about him. She didn't know he had a panel, didn't know he was practicing martial arts, and had no idea how skilled he would become in the future. It was strange that just because he encountered a Divine Relic once, she wanted to recruit him as an employee.

Watching the panel, he saw that the Charm Art showed no movement, indicating that her interest was not based on his looks.

Hearing this, Wu Youqing's beautiful eyes revealed a trace of a smile. "You got one thing wrong," she whispered.

"It's not that 'you encountered a Divine Relic,' but rather 'the Divine Relic encountered you.'"

Xue Jing's eyes flashed as he began to understand. "You mean..."

"Over the years, through researching Divine Relics, we've roughly concluded that they possess some degree of 'individual will.'" Wu Youqing extended her hand to gently stroke GOD-1567. "They... are drawn to people who attract them."

"It's not that you found the Divine Relic, but that the Divine Relic found you," Wu Youqing said deliberately, word by word.

"People who can attract Divine Relics are incredibly rare. In fact, if you join our company, you won't need to do anything because the probability of us encountering Divine Relics will greatly increase."

"I'm such a person myself; it's because of this special constitution that I eventually became the CEO of this company."

"Perhaps... our meeting right here is influenced by a Divine Relic," Wu Youqing laughed.

“Now you understand why I wanted you to become a containment operator for our company, right?”

Xue Jing suddenly realized.

So that’s it...

No wonder the salary is so generous.

Xue Jing glanced at the contract, noting the monthly salary of two hundred thousand as well as the numerous bonuses and subsidies given upon successful containment of a Divine Relic.

Sincerely, he said, “The salary isn’t what matters to me. What matters is my passion for Divine Relics. I’m willing to join your company, my dear sister.”

...

After signing the employment agreement with Wu Youqing and exchanging contact details, they agreed he would be contacted whenever there was work related to Divine Relic containment. Xue Jing then left the library.

First, he went to the comprehensive building of the affiliated school, requested leave from his class teacher, Du Shiwei, and then hurried home.

Once home, he headed straight to the 'gym', sat cross-legged at the center of the room, and accessed the panel.

【Twin Life Lv1】

【Passive: Possesses two lives, able to choose revival time freely within seven days after death. Cooldown time: three months】

【Active: Locked】

【Divine Incarnation: Locked】

Xue Jing took a deep breath and clicked to unlock the active effect.

【Unlocked】

【Active: For every Level 1, you can designate an ability related to your physical self, doubling its effect during use】

【Currently selectable abilities include: Physical Strength, Physical Defense, Movement Speed, Reaction Speed, Calculation Ability, Concentration, Memory...】

Hundreds of options extended down the list, and Xue Jing didn't examine them all.

“Select one ability... for a doubled effect?”

Xue Jing mused, chin resting on his hand.

“So, if I choose 'Physical Strength,' then I can have double strength when using [Twin Effect]?”

It's intriguing.

This ability... seems quite powerful, yet somehow... it feels disproportionate to the formidable passive effect of Twin Effect.

Is there something he hasn't noticed yet?

Xue Jing fell into deep thought.

“What’s the best ability to choose first?”

...
