I'm In Heaven, I Just Want To Work Overtime

Chapter 3: Sweeping Heavenly Prison

Upon entering Heavenly Prison, I saw a big man, over ten feet tall, wearing a lion armor and a lion belt, happily drinking and eating.

Taibai Jinxing waved his dusting brush and shouted, "Tianpeng, if His Majesty finds out that you're drinking again, he will surely punish you severely!"

The big man was startled, but then recognized the person and relaxed. He put down the leg of lamb in his hand and smiled as he approached, saying, "So it's the esteemed Golden Star who has come. I must thank the Golden Star for speaking up for me earlier. Otherwise, His Majesty would have definitely banished me to the mortal realm in anger!"

"You, you! You caused trouble before because of drinking, and you still haven't changed!" Taibai Jinxing looked helpless.

The big man in front of me is Marshal Tianpeng, in charge of the Heavenly River Navy.

Due to his drinking problem, he accidentally opened the floodgates of the Heavenly River, causing the vast river water to flood countless Heavenly World islands. Many Immortal Gates suffered unjust disasters, so the sect leaders went to the Heavenly Court to complain to the Supreme Emperor.

In his anger, the Heavenly Emperor wanted to punish Marshal Tianpeng with three thousand bronze hammers and banish him to the mortal realm. Fortunately, Taibai Jinxing persuaded the Heavenly Emperor to reduce the punishment to five hundred bronze hammers and demote him to the position of a Sweeping Star.

"I can't change this little pleasure of mine!" Tianpeng smiled awkwardly and then asked, "I wonder what brings the Golden Star here this time?"

Immediately, Taibai Jinxing explained the matter.

"It's a small matter, Golden Star, rest assured!" Tianpeng patted his chest.

"In that case, I'll go back first!" After Taibai Jinxing left, Xia Yi stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Star Lord!"

"You are a polite one!" Tianpeng returned to his seat, picked up a jar of wine, took a big gulp, and then found a file on the messy desk. He opened it and said, "Heavenly Prison happens to need someone to sweep it. You can go and sweep Heavenly Prison. If you do well, I can give you this position!"

"Thank you, Star Lord, for your guidance!" Xia Yi quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Alright, go! This is your waist token! As for the rest, someone will arrange it for you."

Tianpeng threw down a jade token and impatiently waved his hand.

After leaving the main hall, a young boy came forward and led Xia Yi to a separate courtyard.

"Sir, this is your usual residence!" The young boy said respectfully.

Although the position of Sweeping Immortal Official is not prestigious and has no rank, it is still considered part of the Heavenly Court's organization, which is not something these young boys can compare to.

There were rows of houses built by the Immortal World with green wood ahead. Although they were not elaborately carved or decorated, they had a unique and quaint charm.

Xia Yi chose an unoccupied room with two main rooms in the courtyard. There were seven or eight cypress trees, and a winding stream slowly flowed into the pond in the courtyard, creating an extremely peaceful and quiet atmosphere.

"Sir, you will need to wait a few more days until your name is listed in the celestial register before you can sweep Heavenly Prison!" The young boy said beside him.

"Okay, I understand." Xia Yi nodded.

After the young boy explained some common questions, he left.

Xia Yi entered the courtyard and chose a side room. He carefully arranged a few formations and restrictions, and then accessed the attribute page in his mind.

[Name: Xia Yi]

[Cultivation: Mid-stage of Returning Void]

[Position: Third-generation disciple of the Corpse Sect]

[Job Responsibilities: Cultivate the Asura Demon Dao, strengthen the reputation of the Great Demon Dao, suppress the Immortal Dao sects]

[Benefits: Five insurances and one fund, weekends off, triple overtime pay, sixteen-month salary, etc.]

[Salary: Settled at the beginning of next month]

"System, can you explain the specific details of these benefits and salary?" Xia Yi asked.

[The specific benefits depend on the host's position, generally including five insurances and one fund, weekends off, year-end bonuses, etc.]

[Salary will be distributed in the form of merit points.]

[Five insurances and one fund refer to battle insurance, unemployment insurance, medical insurance, work-related injury insurance, cultivation insurance, and housing provident fund.]

[Housing provident fund can be used to purchase Grotto-Heaven.]

[Battle insurance refers to compensating merit points for losses suffered by the host during battles.]

[Cultivation insurance refers to compensating merit points for accidents that occur during cultivation.]

...

After the systematic explanation, Xia Yi roughly understood his Goldfinger.

"I didn't expect to be a 996 office worker in my previous life, and now I still have to work after transmigrating!"

Xia Yi couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Fortunately, the benefits of this company's system are amazing. If the benefits in my previous life were half as good as the system's, I wouldn't have had to work overtime to the point of sudden death.

"I didn't expect that the salary would be paid in the form of merit points!" Xia Yi felt delighted.

You should know that merit points can be said to be the most important treasure in the Primordial Era. Even for a Saint who is indestructible and eternal in the face of Myriad Tribulations, it is still a very important resource.

The more merit points a living being possesses, the more highly regarded they are by the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that merit points are a talisman for cultivators.

Merit points can bypass bottlenecks and directly allow cultivators to advance their realms. They can also be infused into Spirit Treasures or weapons, greatly increasing their power and allowing for killing without incurring karmic consequences.

"Merit points seem to be a reward from the Heavenly Dao to all beings in the Three Realms. This Worker System is quite extraordinary..." Xia Yi didn't think too much about it. After all, he was currently too weak, and even the Immortal Dao had not been achieved. It was useless to consider too much.

Just then, the emotionless voice of the system sounded.

[Detected that the Sect Master and all the elder disciples of the Heavenly Corpse Sect have died, leaving only the host. Your choice...]

[A: The sect is disbanded, and the host withdraws from the Heavenly Corpse Sect. The system will provide monthly unemployment benefits until the host finds a job.]

[B: Promote to become the Sect Master of the Heavenly Corpse Sect and revive its glory.]

Xia Yi's heart moved, and he asked, "If I choose B, what are the benefits?"

[Private company bosses are no longer considered employees, so the system will not provide a salary.]

[However, the system will provide support in terms of cultivation resources.]

"Forget it, I'll choose A!" Xia Yi made a decision without hesitation.

The Heavenly Corpse Old Demon is a thousand-year-old zombie with profound magic power. He is also a disciple of the Great Brahma under the Lord of the Netherworld. In his hands, the thirty-six Heavenly Corpse Gathering Demon Banners form the Heavenly Corpse Great Formation, which can contend against ancient Golden Immortals.

Each of the ten elders in the sect is a powerful Earth Immortal.

In the end, they were all wiped out by the Heavenly Court.

You should know that at this time, the Heavenly Court only had a few powerful beings. There weren't many high-level combat forces.

After the end of the Conferment of Gods Cataclysm, the Heavenly Court will flourish and definitely strike against demons and monsters.

Therefore, there is no future in being a demon in the mortal realm.

It's better to stay in the Heavenly Court honestly and strive for a position as a janitor before the Conferment of Gods.

Don't underestimate the position of a janitor. After all, they are one of the 365 Heavenly Gods in the Heavenly Court, overseeing the stars in the sky and overlooking the mortal world, living forever.

[Detected that you are currently unemployed, activating the unemployment insurance.]

[The system will provide 210 merit points per month until you find a new job.]

As soon as the voice fell, 210 droplet-sized merits appeared in Xia Yi's Violet Palace.
