Chapter 378 A Good Law-Abiding Employee
Chapter 378 A Good Law-Abiding Employee
When gods walk among the mortal world, they naturally have to disguise themselves.
Taibai Jinxing transformed into an old housekeeper, Princess Longji transformed into a female guard in military uniform, and Nezha transformed into a young man.
Wen Rui doesn't know the magic of transformation, but he is very skilled in controlling nanorobots to disguise himself, and he has disguised himself into the appearance of a shrewd young businessman.
A few people mixed into the crowd and their first stop was the largest and most upscale hotel in Liberty City.
This hotel is called "Yinxu Hotel" and is owned by the Chamber of Commerce. It is located in the best location in Liberty City, has a large building area, and has a large garden courtyard outside the hotel, with a very good environment.
Liberty City is the largest trade center city in the Southern Continent. Caravans from the vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty come and go constantly. Many nobles of the vassal states, disciples of immortal sects, and mountain monster kings also come here to enjoy themselves and vacation. Opening a hotel is a business that is sure to make money.
Although the Chamber of Commerce possesses a means of transportation that is far ahead of its time, such as a jump engine transport ship, under Wen Rui's deliberate control, the transport ships are used to transport blood food for the 100,000 mountain monsters and goods for trade with the sea tribe.
Anyone who is interested in doing business in any place, even if they are not descendants of the Shang Dynasty, can join the Chamber of Commerce, register as a member, set up their own caravan, and obtain market share allocated by the Chamber of Commerce.
Even if one has monopoly power, there is no need to take everything. Only by hiding behind the scenes to formulate rules and play with finance can one survive in the long run.
Several people walked into the hotel and went straight to the registration desk in the lobby.
"Welcome, guests. Xiaoju is at your service. May I ask how many of you would like to check in?"
The receptionist, wearing a festive red embroidered cheongsam, said with a friendly smile.
This female employee is a flower demon. Her transformation stage is not very high. She has obvious plant characteristics, with emerald green skin, golden petals in her hair, and tender buds growing on her body.
Fortunately, fairies like flower fairies, even if their transformation is incomplete, are still quite pleasing to the eye in their human form, and they have a faint fragrance, so they are suitable for serving as greeters.
"Three years ago, seven female customers checked into the VIP suite together and checked out three months later."
Wen Rui lowered his voice and asked, "Have you ever communicated with these people?"
The flower demon was stunned, and quickly shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, we can't disclose the privacy of our guests. I'm sorry, Xiaoju can't answer your question."
"You ignorant little demon, I advise you to be more sensible and tell me what you know, lest you anger the noble and bring disaster upon yourself!"
Taibai Jinxing came forward, exuding a trace of True Immortal pressure, and threatened in a cold voice: "If you tell me useful information, I will definitely reward you well."
As he spoke, the old man took out a magical pill that exuded rich magical power from his bag and waved it in front of the flower demon.
Taibai Jinxing often served as a messenger and came to the mortal world quite often. According to his experience, this combination of intimidation and inducement was enough to make a mere Jindan realm little demon obedient.
The ray of true immortal pressure he exuded, even if it was only fleeting, could make a Jindan realm monster feel like it was falling into an ice cellar, causing a huge mental shock.
And that elixir can allow the little golden elixir demon to directly ascend to a higher realm after taking it, and be promoted to the Nascent Soul realm, thus avoiding a hundred years of hard training in the mortal world.
The flower demon felt the pressure and trembled. Her golden hair faded and dried a little. Tears welled up in her eyes and she almost collapsed to the ground.
But she shook her head firmly and said in a trembling voice, "No, absolutely not. If I accept bribes and disclose the secrets of customers, it will be a duty-related crime! Don't say I didn't know, even if I knew I wouldn't tell you! If you make trouble, I...I will call the police!"
Taibai Jinxing was stunned. He had dealt with many beings in the lower world over the past few hundred years. Most of them, whether monks or demons, were greedy for life and afraid of death, forgetting their principles when they saw profit. They could be easily manipulated by just threatening them and giving them some benefits. Just asking a question could get him an elixir, but such a good thing was rejected.
It is also because the times have limited Taibai Jinxing's thinking. Liberty City is a society ruled by law, the cost of breaking the law is extremely high, and under the coverage of the Sky Eye, the crime-solving rate is also extremely high.
The residents here have already engraved the words "obey the law" in their minds, and they understand best the principle of "don't steal, or you will be caught."
The monks and monsters that Taibai Jinxing had dealt with lived in a lawless environment, and their behavior was restrained entirely by their own moral standards. They believed in the law of the jungle and that big fists are always right. Of course, their code of conduct was that not taking advantage of an opportunity would be equivalent to suffering a loss.
He wanted to show off and improve his status in the team, but he hit a wall unexpectedly. Taibai Jinxing was embarrassed on the spot.
"You ungrateful little demon, you dare to disobey the God. If you don't suffer a little, you don't know how powerful it is."
With just one look from Taibai Jinxing, the flower fairy seemed to have its throat strangled. Its little face, as pink as a flower bud, turned gray in an instant and it couldn't breathe.
It is easier for a deity in the realm of true immortals to kill a golden elixir flower demon silently than for an ordinary person to pick a flower.
Wen Rui slapped Taibai Jinxing in the face without saying a word, knocking him to the ground and interrupting his spiritual power of coercion with his divine thoughts.
"Old man, behave yourself and stop causing trouble here!"
Wen Rui glared at the aggrieved old man who was covering his face, and said angrily, "You beat up my employee in front of me, are you itching for trouble again? Bring me the elixir and compensate that girl!"
Wen Rui snatched the elixir that Taibai Jinxing had taken out earlier, and then took out a jade token from his arms and handed it to Hua Yao along with the elixir. He then said, "Take this token to find your manager and tell him that officials from the headquarters are here to investigate."
The flower demon took the jade token and her attitude changed drastically after just one look. She quickly bowed to Wen Rui and said, "I'm sorry, Xiaoju didn't know you were an investigator from the headquarters. I'll go inform the manager right away. But I dare not accept this elixir..."
"Take it. This is the compensation you deserve. It's not against the rules."
After hearing what Rui said, the flower demon felt at ease to accept the elixir. She took the jade token and ran to the internal elevator for employees, rushing to the manager's office upstairs.
Taibai Jinxing covered his face and climbed up, saying in a very depressed tone: "Since this hotel is your property, why didn't you take out the identity card earlier?"
Wen Rui pretended not to hear anything. None of the details were important. The real purpose was to find a reason to slap him to vent his anger.
In fact, it was also Wen Rui's fault for negligence. When the Chamber of Commerce employees were receiving their induction training, a portrait of Wen Rui was hung in the training room. This was also one of the ways to absorb the power of faith.
Under normal circumstances, every employee would recognize their boss at the first opportunity, so Wen Rui asked Hua Yao directly.
As a result, I forgot that I had just changed my appearance, so it was strange that the employees could recognize me, which led to a small misunderstanding.
Unfortunately, Taibai Jinxing was too clever for his own good. Before the flower demon could even take out the VIP jade card representing his status as a senior member of the Chamber of Commerce, he already used a combination of intimidation and inducement on him. As a result, even a true immortal couldn't scare a little Jindan demon.
Wen Rui was very satisfied with the performance of his employees. He thought that before completing this mission and returning to heaven, he should inform the little fox Su Yingluo who was in charge of the Chamber of Commerce and focus on training this little flower demon who called herself Xiaoju.
So what if I’m a god?
The new generation of people who have grown up with systematic basic education in Jiejiao should have the courage to say no to gods.
