185: Chapter 186 God Promotes Lin Jin, He Tears Up the Appointment Letter into a Repair Ticket

Chapter 186

[Lin Jin]

[Recommended Career: Divine Repairman]

When that page of the career appointment letter opened in the Sky Gate's golden gate, the entire Jiangcheng saw his name.

It wasn't shouted by anyone.

It was written by God.

The golden characters hung in the center of the Awakening Hall, like an admission letter that was eighteen years late.

The next second, the wound on Lin Jin's right hand began to heal.

The split skin on his palm closed up.

The meridians, tortured to the point of being almost crippled by the backlash of the rules, were reconnected by the golden light, inch by inch.

Even that rusty wrench with the chipped edge began to heat up slightly.

A sliver of metallic light grew from the notch of the wrench, as if someone wanted to complete it for him.

[Career Preview: Divine Repairman]

[Ability 1: Divine Body Fault Vision]

[Ability 2: Rule-Level Dismantling]

[Ability 3: Material-Free Divinity Repair]

[Ability 4: Temporary Access to All Career Interfaces]

[Cost: Maintenance Object Priority Permanently Bound to Divine Body Integrity]

The voice from the golden gate was so gentle it didn't sound like an enemy.

"Lin Jin."

"Don't you always want to repair things?"

"I'll give you the tools."

"I'll give you the authority."

"I'll give you hands that don't have to bleed anymore."

In the control room, everyone looked at him.

They knew this thing was a trap.

But they also knew how much it resembled the things he had once lost.

The Hand of Rules.

Fault prompts.

Repair plans.

A vision that knew where things were broken with a single glance.

No need to lie under the console, using a mangled hand to touch wires hot enough to turn red.

No need to guess time and time again.

No need to gamble with his life every single time.

Chen Ye's expression was ugly, and just as he was about to curse, Shen Tingxue raised a hand to stop him.

She didn't refuse on Lin Jin's behalf.

At a time like this, whoever said "No" for him was just another form of coercion.

Thirteen stood beside Lin Jin, looking coldly at that page of the appointment letter.

"If you dare to sign it, I'll knock you out."

Shen Tingxue glanced at him.

Thirteen added:

"I'm not refusing for him."

"I'm just expressing my opinion."

Lin Jin looked down at his right hand.

The pain was disappearing.

This was almost the most terrifying temptation.

Because it didn't make him forget the pain.

It just said—you don't have to be in this much pain from now on.

Cheng Du sat in the rest area, staring fixedly at the appointment letter, his voice hoarse.

"Look at the last line."

Lin Jin had seen it, of course.

[Maintenance Object Priority Permanently Bound to Divine Body Integrity]

In other words, as long as he accepted this career, everything he repaired from now on would ultimately serve one purpose:

To make God whole again.

Repairing The Hospital was to ensure God's children were not damaged.

Repairing the side roads was to ensure God's body could be safely reconnected.

Repairing names was for God to better confirm ownership.

Repairing humans was to make them better suited to return home.

This wasn't a Repairman.

This was a Divine Body Caretaker.

Inside the golden gate, the page of the appointment letter slowly descended, falling toward Lin Jin's forehead.

[Accept Recommended Career?]

[Upon acceptance, the injury to the right hand will be immediately repaired]

[Upon acceptance, Rule-Level Vision will be restored]

Many people in Jiangcheng subconsciously held their breath.

Lin Jin raised his hand.

The golden appointment letter stopped in front of his fingertips.

He didn't press accept.

Nor did he tear it directly.

He asked a question first:

"Who recommended this?"

The God Head's voice was gentle.

"The system."

Lin Jin looked toward the Mainframe.

"Who is the system?"

There was a brief silence inside the golden gate.

Lin Jin continued to ask:

"Is it the Mother of All Things?"

"Is it The Six Seats?"

"Is it the God Head Core?"

"Is it the Career System main terminal?"

"Or is it a work order from the Jiangcheng temporary maintenance team?"

A golden light flashed on the edge of the appointment letter.

[Recommendation Source: National Class Transfer System Main Terminal]

"Not my work order," Lin Jin said.

"Then it's outsourced advertising."

Chen Ye was stunned for a moment.

Then he almost laughed out loud.

"God sent you a recruitment ad?"

Lin Jin gripped the rusty wrench and pushed the appointment letter to the side.

"Recommendations can be received."

"But they cannot be installed automatically."

Ye Guizhou immediately rushed to the Record desk and stamped it heavily.

[Career Recommendation Received]

[Does not equal personal acceptance]

[Does not equal system pre-installation]

He Zhibai opened the ledger and wrote rapidly:

[Refusing high-level recommendation incurs opportunity cost]

[Cannot be converted into Lin Jin's personal debt]

Luo Wensheng added to the Record:

[Divine Repairman recommendation page appeared.]

[Lin Jin did not accept.]

[Recommendation source is disputed.]

The golden appointment letter vibrated.

[Refusal of high-compatibility career, judged as career waste]

Inside the Sky Gate, more appointment pages opened simultaneously.

It wasn't just Lin Jin.

A page floated in front of Chen Ye.

[Recommended Career: Divine Shield Bearer]

[Ability: Can support the sinking of God's palm]

[Cost: Cannot remove shield for life]

A page floated in front of Shen Tingxue.

[Recommended Career: Divine Frost Silencer]

[Ability: Can freeze the pain fluctuations of the entire city]

[Cost: Emotions become low-temperature]

In front of Zhou Heng:

[Recommended Career: Divine Path Surveyor Knight]

[Ability: Designates the only safe path for the entire city]

[Cost: Bears the errors of all diverging paths]

In front of Thirteen, the appointment page glitched, and finally generated:

[Recommended Position: Divine Body Spare Nameless Page]

Thirteen laughed.

"It really doesn't learn."

The next instant, countless career appointment pages poured out of the golden gate like an avalanche.

A recommendation page appeared above everyone's head in Jiangcheng.

Tired people were recommended "Sleeper".

Guilty people were recommended "Sin-Expiator".

Homeless people were recommended "Homeward-Bounder".

Those suitable for guarding the side roads were recommended "Eternal Gatekeeper".

Those who had just sat down at the rest station had "Painless Submitter" float in front of them.

The children who had just been saved had "Divine Selection Growth Sample" float in front of them.

This time, God did not force them.

It used recommendations.

It used compatibility.

It used "You are clearly better suited for this."

It used "You won't be in so much pain once you accept."

The golden appointment pages began to stick to the crowd like rain.

Some people reached out to block them.

Some hesitated.

Some were truly tempted.

Especially those who had been in pain for too long, tired for too long, and had almost been unable to hold on.

Old Liu looked at the [Eternal Rest Maintenance Worker] page in front of him, his eyes softening again.

"After accepting, I won't be tired anymore..."

His wife held his hand, not snatching his choice away.

She just pushed the chair from earlier toward him.

"You sit down first."

"Sit down and then look."

The rest station recorder immediately added a line to the sign:

[Major career recommendations, can delay decision under exhausted state]

When this line of text lit up, the recommendation page in front of Old Liu retreated half an inch.

In First Hospital, in front of Xiao Man's mother, floated:

[Recommended Career: Carefree Mother]

[Ability: Can maintain eternal gentleness]

[Cost: Personal emotions return to zero]

She took one look, her face deathly pale, but she didn't reach out.

Fang Ning handed her a piece of paper from the side.

[No major career choices within seventy-two hours postpartum.]

[Rest first.]

The recommendation page retreated a bit more.

Qin Shanhe picked up the broadcast.

"Listen up, the whole city."

"Don't rush to curse the recommendations."

"And don't rush to accept them."

"Any recommendation must have a cooling-off period."

"It must be queryable."

"It must be rejectable."

"It must be able to expire."

"Especially recommendations that appear when people are exhausted, in pain, afraid, hungry, or lonely—suspend them all!"

The rain of appointment pages in the golden gate intensified sharply.

The God Head's voice became cold.

"Humans need careers."

"Careers need naming."

"Recommendations are the optimal opportunity given to individuals by the system."

Lin Jin looked up.

"Opportunities don't chase people and stick to their foreheads."

He pressed his No. 001 work badge onto the console.

"Open the main work order sub-items."

Luo Wensheng wrote:

[Sub-work order: Divine-side career recommendation pre-installation blocking]

He Zhibai wrote:

[Risk: Inducing individuals to accept non-revocable careers via high compatibility, high profit, pain relief, and belonging]

Ye Guizhou stamped it:

[Career recommendations can be received, delayed, rejected, and source queried]

Tang Qi pressed her iron badge:

"I refuse 'suitable means it's mandatory'."

Su Yan said in a low voice:

"Being able to open the door doesn't mean you have to be the door."

Yu Xing also spoke:

"Being able to carry the God-Brain doesn't mean you should go back and be the God-Brain."

Shen Qingshuang looked at the [High-Pollution Clearance Consultant] page in front of her and pressed it directly to the ground.

"Being able to clear doesn't mean being used again."

These voices were connected to Work Order No. 001.

But the main terminal inside the golden gate was deeper than any previous interface.

It didn't pass through the local Jiangcheng terminal.

It didn't pass through the Awakening Hall branch.

Instead, it was delivered from the bottom layer of the initial naming pages of all careers.

Cheng Du gritted his teeth looking at the map.

"Standard interception isn't enough."

"It's using the main terminal recommendation channel."

"Where is that channel?"

Cheng Du was silent for half a second.

"In everyone's career badge."

Chen Ye's expression changed.

"We can't cut the career badges, right?"

"No."

Lin Jin stared at his old Repairman badge.

The F-Class Repairman shell was still there.

It was very old, very low-level.

It had once blocked God.

And it had also caused him to be mocked for eighteen years.

"Not cutting the badges."

"Add an inbox to the badges."

Cheng Du's single eye lit up.

"Let the recommendations go into a box first, instead of popping up in our faces?"

"Yes."

Lin Jin immediately broadcasted to the whole city:

"Everyone, imagine there is a box next to your career badge."

"Not accepting."

"Not rejecting."

"Just putting it inside."

Chen Ye looked confused.

"This can work?"

Lin Jin gritted his teeth:

"Not by imagination."

"By action."

He grabbed a blank repair ticket, folded it into an ugly little paper bag, and stuck it next to his career badge.

"Put recommendations here first."

Shen Tingxue immediately used ice to create a transparent small box, hanging it on the side of her Ice Phoenix badge.

Chen Ye broke a small piece off the edge of his shield and bent it into a box shape to stick on his chest.

Zhou Heng wove a ring with lightning threads.

Thirteen didn't have a career badge, so he simply stuck the paper bag on his forehead.

"I don't have a badge."

"But I can collect trash."

This time Chen Ye really laughed out loud.

The laughter spread, and many people followed suit.

Some used paper to fold them.

Some used cloth bags.

Some covered their palms vaguely next to their badges.

The Hospital used medical Record clips.

Schools used homework bags.

Side road stations used toolboxes.

Rest stations used teacups.

The actions were very childish.

But they were very concrete.

Countless golden recommendation pages were sucked in by these temporary "inboxes" before they could stick to people.

It didn't block them completely.

But it changed from "immediate pop-up" to "pending review".

Ye Guizhou's stamp fell frantically in the Mainframe.

[Recommendation Inbox Established]

[Unviewed]

[Unaccepted]

[Can expire]

Luo Wensheng recorded:

[Career recommendations must not directly overwrite current career, name, relationship, and physical state.]

He Zhibai added:

[Unaccepted recommendations do not generate debt.]

[Before acceptance, costs, withdrawal conditions, source, and cooling-off period must be displayed.]

The rain of appointment pages in the golden gate finally slowed down.

The [Divine Repairman] page in front of Lin Jin was also forcibly pushed into the rusty inbox next to Work Order No. 001.

It was still glowing.

Still tempting.

But it couldn't be directly installed into his body.

Inside the Sky Gate, the main terminal system showed a significant error for the first time.

[Recommendation pre-installation failed]

[Automatic acceptance failed]

[Cooling-off period inserted]

[Inbox polluting career naming process]

Cheng Du looked at this line of text and actually laughed.

"Good word."

"Pollution is good."

Lin Jin reached out and pulled half of the [Divine Repairman] page out of the inbox, taking a look.

Then, he didn't tear it up.

Instead, he stamped a gray work order stamp on it.

[Returned for Revision]

Everyone was stunned.

Lin Jin looked up and said to the Sky Gate:

"The job title is wrong."

"Divine Repairman sounds like working for God."

"Change it."

The golden gate was silent.

Lin Jin slapped the recommended career page onto his work badge.

"The maintenance object can be God."

"The employer cannot be God."

"The source of authority cannot be God."

"The priority cannot be bound to Divine Body integrity."

"It must be transferable, resignable, and task-rejectable."

"Tool wear and tear is to be accounted for publicly."

"The repairer's real name is to be protected."

"Resubmit after changing."

Chen Ye stared at him blankly.

"You're actually making God change the recruitment terms?"

Lin Jin laughed.

"Isn't it a recommendation?"

"Then follow the process."

Work badge No. 001 lit up with a roar.

Inside the Sky Gate, that [Divine Repairman] page began to distort.

The God Head clearly hadn't anticipated that someone would treat its career appointment page like a client contract and return it for revision.

The career name flickered.

[Divine Repairman]

[One Who Repairs God]

[Divine Body Fault Handler]

[God Head Core External Maintenance Team]

Finally, all the golden characters got stuck.

Because as long as the part about "belonging to God" was removed, it could no longer form a single-person career.

It could only become a task ticket.

[Work Order No. 001 Follow-up Task: God Head Core Naming Rights Maintenance]

[Executing Unit: Jiangcheng Temporary Maintenance Team]

[Personal Career Change: None]

[Lin Jin Personal Binding: Failed]

The Sky Gate vibrated.

Those rows of career appointment pages were quickly withdrawn.

But in the very center, the main terminal system lit up with a deeper layer.

A page that was not a recommendation page, not a career page, but the oldest birth registration page, slowly turned out from the depths of the golden gate.

It didn't write "Divine Repairman" on it.

It only wrote one fact.

[Lin Jin]

[Initial Career Registration: Rule Maintenance Seat Candidate]

[Sealer: Lin Shoushan]

[Reason for Sealing: God will come to collect]

Below that birth registration page, a new line of golden characters floated up.

[Recommendations can be rejected]

[Careers can be returned]

[But initial registration cannot be denied]

The God Head's voice carried genuine pressure for the first time.

"You won't accept the new career."

"Then return the old registration."

Lin Jin felt a pain in his palm.

The naming Record that his father had sealed back then began to turn outward from his bones and blood.

Deep inside the Sky Gate, the phantoms of the seven shattered Divine Seats lit up the empty seat in the very center again.

[Seventh Candidate Seat]

[Recalling]
