The sun was bright, and it was a bit hot and dry.
Such a temperature not only failed to make Chu Qing re-experience the warmth of the human world, but instead made him, who had already grown accustomed to darkness and cold, feel slightly unaccustomed.
Fortunately, after getting out of the taxi and looking at the gate of the Cemetery in front of him, which was backed by a large mountain and had no convenience stores around, that familiar chill once again surged into his heart, giving Chu Qing a sense of peace.
'North Mountain Cemetery!'
The nameplate was a bit dilapidated, with rust on many of its edges.
The entire Cemetery, from the gate to the interior, exuded an aura of decay.
North Mountain was actually the edge of Bei Mang Mountain.
In the entire Dragon Country, this place could be said to be extremely famous.
Because this was the place where the most kings, marquises, generals, and prime ministers of past dynasties were buried.
And for this very reason,
this place was extremely prosperous before.
Although the North Mountain Cemetery was still some distance from the actual Bei Mang Mountain, where the tombs of emperors, generals, and prime ministers had been designated as key cultural relics for protection,
it was still excellent if one could bask in some nobility, allowing one or two of their descendants to achieve great wealth and status.
However, just from the current scene, one could tell how business was nowadays.
Aside from being publicly owned, which meant the North Mountain Cemetery was not well-maintained, there were also rumors of ghosts.
Therefore, even in broad daylight, this vast Cemetery was deserted, seemingly without even a single staff member.
But soon, a Young man ran down from a private car parked far away on the roadside near the entrance:
"You must be Chu Qing? I'm from our Northern Mountain Office, my name is Xu Wei."
The Young man seemed extremely anxious; after Chu Qing nodded, before he could even speak, he continued:
"You've seen all the benefits, right? Our work is relatively free. You just need to patrol once every day at 6 AM and 10:30 PM, and after clocking in with a photo, you don't need to do anything else. You can go home at night if you want, or stay here.
If there are no problems, sign this form, and you can officially start today!"
Before Chu Qing could react, Xu Wei handed him a form, looking impatient.
With such an appearance, who wouldn't feel something was off?
He didn't even have the intention of going in to look around together, as if just standing at the entrance was already his limit.
Chu Qing saw all of this but didn't care. In fact, after taking it, he swiftly signed his name on it.
He had come to apply for this Gravekeeper position, and he didn't really care about these so-called benefits; he was here for something else.
In his previous life, his Yin Job was that of a Paper Craftsman.
It was a Yin Job that barely utilized his half-baked artistic skills, and in the early stages, he was quite at ease.
However, in this life, regarding his first Yin Job, after being reborn yesterday afternoon, Chu Qing had new ideas.
There were many choices for a Nine Rank Yin Occupation.
In fact, Chu Qing knew of no less than dozens of them.
Each had its own abilities and areas of expertise, and they all had their unique strengths in controlling ghosts.
However, as the rank of the Yin Job increased, the number of higher-ranked Yin Jobs became scarcer.
Moreover, the difficulty of promotion was several times greater than the promotion of ghosts!
At the same time, some high-rank Yin Jobs required corresponding low-rank Yin Jobs to be promoted.
For example, it was rumored that the Mount Tai King, one of the Ten Palace Yama Kings, could only be promoted to Mount Tai King from his Second Rank Yin Job by becoming a 'Mount Tai Mountain Lord,'
and this Mount Tai Mountain Lord, in turn, required the Nine Rank 'Mountain Dweller' Yin Job path to complete the promotion.
The advancement and path of a Yin Job were related to future achievements and potential.
And what measured a Yin Job's ability, besides combat power, was most importantly, the acquisition of Yin Longevity!
The Paper Craftsman's combat power and Ghost Controller ability among Yin Jobs were barely above average, and the path to promotion to an Eight Rank Yin Occupation was also decent.
However, it was definitely not the best choice for a Nine Rank Yin Occupation that he had in mind.
Simply because the Paper Craftsman's acquisition of Yin Longevity was much more difficult.
To obtain Yin Longevity, one needed to fold a paper figure resembling oneself, write one's birth characters on it, and then burn it.
It sounded easy, but the folding process was extremely troublesome. If it wasn't particularly similar, not only would all efforts be wasted, but the materials would also be wasted, and there was even a possibility of losing Yin Longevity.
Moreover, the promotion path for the Paper Craftsman to mid-to-high ranks was already very narrow. He only had the opportunity to be one step away from becoming King Chujiang when he was promoted to the Sixth Rank and obtained a great opportunity to change his Yin Job sequence.
Therefore, in this life, he would absolutely not consider being a Paper Craftsman.
And among the Yin Jobs known to Chu Qing, the Yin Job with the highest Yin Longevity acquisition limit was right before his eyes.
It was also the Yin Job Chu Qing had decided on for this life:
Gravekeeper!
In the terrifying era of his previous life, it was criticized by countless people, and later, it was even called the most 'pitfall' Nine Rank Yin Occupation.
The reason was simple: the Gravekeeper's upper and lower limits were simply too high.
However, there was only one Gravekeeper with the highest limit, and that was Biancheng King, who had caused his failure to be promoted to King Chujiang. It was rumored that he had initially taken the Gravekeeper as his Nine Rank Yin Occupation.
But there was only one Biancheng King, while the lower limit was something almost all Gravekeepers had genuinely experienced.
Just by the name, one could tell what the Gravekeeper's profession entailed.
It only required guarding tombs.
However, how could a Yin Job recognized by this eerie era's death game be so simple and easy?
A Gravekeeper needed to guard against the ghosts that revived within the tombs. During the darkest time before dawn each night, they had to ensure that all evil spirits in the tombs had returned, maintaining the peace of the tombs.
Thus, during the daytime each day, Yin Longevity would be automatically converted and acquired.
At the same time, the more strange entities there were in the tomb, and the higher their quality, the more Yin Longevity would be gained.
And most importantly, there was almost no upper limit!
For a Gravekeeper, as long as they could control the evil spirits in their tomb, they could earn Yin Longevity by simply lying down!
For ordinary Ghost Controllers who initially became Gravekeepers, this was as difficult as ascending to heaven, and many even ended up being killed by the strange entities in the tomb if they were not careful.
But for Chu Qing, who now possessed so many years of memories from the terrifying era and the ability of the Blood Eye, wasn't this the most suitable Yin Job for him?
Even more importantly, in his previous life, Chu Qing had seen some things in a very special secret realm.
A very strange mural,
the records on it were mottled and indistinct, but Chu Qing's memory was very deep.
Because that secret realm had a terrifying origin, and it was extremely dangerous. Many Second Rank Ghost Controllers of the Dragon Country had perished there.
He had gone through countless hardships to enter a grand hall, and besides a bead, there was only this mural.
However, that mural was extremely complex, and the records were quite chaotic.
But he clearly remembered that on that mural, several Nine Rank Yin Occupations were emphasized, and among them, the most prominent was this:
Gravekeeper.
At the same time, this Gravekeeper was also the initial Nine Rank Yin Occupation of Biancheng King Ding Xie, who was his best friend but delivered a fatal blow by betraying him at the last moment!
