moderate difficulty gives a sense of returning to a peaceful life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While straightforwardly initiating the task, Fu Qian optimistically reviewed today’s work content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even having officially ascended to Pseudo-God, becoming one of the few high-ranking entities in this world, as a principled expert, he certainly wouldn’t let it affect his dedication to his work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even attending every duty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s worth noting that even when traveling to the Other Shore of Stars, he didn’t miss a single punch-in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from professional ethics, whether it was the previous Night Holy City or the current hurricane rescue with a terrifying danger index, the warehouse showed a very positive cooperative stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he doesn’t consider it a personified entity, Fu Qian still doesn’t mind reciprocating respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, understanding its urgency in maintaining world peace, cooperating with the hurriedly adjusted task cycles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to before, the illusory imagery permeating the warehouse this time is undeniably abstract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark in hue, shapeless and intangible, like a suppressive glow while fluidly flowing and spreading...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it’s hard to accurately describe, the impression it gives is quite clear, which is inexplicably nauseating, as if not wanting it to stick to oneself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, with the task confirmation, a prompt quickly appeared, preventing it from getting any closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Today’s work begins, entering scene 2-020]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Current SAN Points: 83, Current Inspiration: 99]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Select the skills and items you wish to carry]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A convenient configuration of abilities and items, the style truly gets more correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian, deeply satisfied with this, started the familiar process of selecting everything and confirmed it, taking along all the easily portable items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[...8%...13%...21%...34%...55%...89%...100%, scene loading completed]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[As one of the world’s top bustling cities, Los also possesses a mystic atmosphere unmatched by other places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not because of belief, but for practicality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Astrology, Necromancy, Divination... countless Spirit Media gather here, providing answers to questions, dispelling sadness, and even finding pets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although even among the best, the majority are just ordinary people, they firmly believe in their understanding of the world’s operational rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the consequences of this confidence is that Los is never short of events that challenge imagination, surpassing even its globally renowned port in activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, the Night Watchmen there are not overly troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they long ago used city legislation to delegate these events, which are mostly proven to be caused by ordinary people, to the police to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And today, as one of the myriad Spirit Media, you will welcome your special visitor.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city where Spirit Media gather, Mysterious Sanctum City... it all sounds like Ms. Kisaragi Chie falling from grace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And judging by the last sentence, this time I’m really going to be colleagues with this second-rate Diviner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the business warehouse arranged it for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the task introduction completed, Fu Qian silently reviewed in his mind while observing his surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can only say––it completely lacks a mystical aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And quickly, he concluded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No exaggeration, unlike Kisaragi Chie’s Fortune Teller’s Cottage, this apartment before me looks utterly ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not too new, underfoot is a slightly cramped living room, through the balcony window, one can see the height is quite significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, high-rise buildings abound, showcasing urban bustling compactness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not too surprising, the master truly works hidden in the city, operating in the CBD is only normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only issue is that at a glance, the small living room is not only bright, but its decoration is simplistic, and there are absolutely no mystical items visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even a deck of cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely opposite to a Fortune Teller’s Cottage full of ambiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can’t even tell what tools might be used for services.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including the attire of the personnel, it completely lacks a Spirit Media style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian glanced at himself, with plain attire, wearing the unremarkable clothes of the most ordinary white-collar worker in the bustling city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected of a place with intense competition, is contrast marketing done to such an extreme?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, facing a scene not quite matching the task introduction, Fu Qian was filled with admiration in the next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s well known that in fierce competition, to stand out, packaging is crucial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When every mystic practitioner presents themselves with a masterly aura, the contrast created by simplicity and naturalness will become another form of packaging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person before me, undoubtedly achieves this limit, perhaps conflicting at first glance, but after a bit of thought, it must provoke a strong mental impact in every customer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strong individuals never complain about conditions, momentarily completing a self-profile and confirming the marketing strategy, Fu Qian walked to the side, clamping a business card from a box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standardized font, with a simple design, aptly adhering to the previous style, though the name...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While appreciating the consistency of the persona, the name without any job title made Fu Qian blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Grimshaw]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Decidedly familiar, not long ago, in the Nightmare of imprisonment as Cannibal Painter, I used this name...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the warehouse’s assignments are always casual with identity, explaining it as mere coincidence in this mysticism-flourishing city is quite unprofessional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially with more than one such coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After casually covering the simplistic business card box almost devoid of patterns, Fu Qian turned his head, examining his current appearance in a nearby tall mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Certainly not his true face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brown hair, green eyes, features wise and gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from looking a bit younger, the resemblance to the face in prison is significantly minimal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon realizing this in perception earlier, Fu Qian wondered if this face had more of a masterly aura and therefore was copied lazily by the warehouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But considering the completely matching name, it felt less like pure laziness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Specifically using another world’s identity for disguise, does it imply to act discreetly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the task prompts haven’t appeared, Fu Qian already had numerous speculations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the task introduction remained evidently professional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Playing with the business card in hand, Fu Qian next lifted his gaze to the dark brown security door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the heavy door panel, a hand hesitantly raises and withdraws, seemingly struggling to make the decision to knock.\u003C\u002Fp>",1029,"2026-06-03T07:51:06.661Z","2026-06-03T07:51:10.324Z",1,"novelbin.me","b0389dbbefc2d24bbbcd2741178e338e610dcf2338288163b1320749451c68de","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-1436","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-1434",2389,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffacing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-cover.jpg"]
