Chapter 1105: Chapter 115: Must Keep the Rice Bowl_1

Harlan Swift looked around and leaned in to whisper to Peter Brown, "We got this position by picking up the leftovers, and as long as you’re aware of that, you’ll be fine. You need to know that at first, everyone let us fill the spot because they didn’t understand, thinking it was just a playful act by the higher-ups. But as soon as they catch on, there will be no shortage of well-connected people eyeing our position. If you make even the slightest mistake, there are too many of those with connections who will snatch it away. The last person in your role was a Cultivator who made an error and had to vacate the position, so be cautious."

That a position could be so precarious!

At that moment, Peter was somewhat speechless, but upon further reflection, he began to take it more seriously, realizing that indeed, his position was relaxed enough to make others envious.

"Thanks for the heads-up."

"Sigh, I’m telling you this because I like you; I wouldn’t bother for anyone else. A lot of people just don’t get it and end up finished within days. Just keep an eye out. You’ve seen for yourself that our accommodations and food are quite excellent. It would be tough to find another place with such good treatment. For a newcomer, it’s already quite extraordinary to land such a foothold."

Peter nodded in acknowledgment, taking to heart the advice that was indeed worth heeding.

"Who is Peter Brown?"

At that moment, a beautiful woman stood up and asked.

"She is Melinda Williams, and she shares your ’Wang’ family name. She’s responsible for the institutional logistics and often comes here for manpower. Looks like you’re going to be busy in the office," Harlan Swift remarked, clearly familiar with the woman’s circumstances.

Peter Brown quickly stood up and said, "That’s me."

"Come with me," Melinda Williams said, giving Peter a once-over and nodding in apparent satisfaction.

"Go on then, be sure to follow instructions."

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Peter followed Melinda Williams out of the room.

"Today, you’re responsible for cleaning the third floor of Building Five. Hurry up and grab the cleaning robot."

When Peter saw that she didn’t care if he had been trained or not and just assigned him work, his mouth opened in protest, but he ended up saying nothing.

Melinda Williams was ready to retort to whatever Peter would say, but hearing nothing from him, she looked at him with a hint of surprise.

In fact, as soon as Peter had arrived, a covert competition for his position had already begun. Melinda Williams didn’t know who was after his spot, but someone had already influenced The Higher-Ups. Now, they just needed Peter to make a mistake, or if he said he couldn’t do it right then and there. If Peter admitted he couldn’t handle it, The Higher-Ups could use that as a pretext to replace him immediately, stripping him of his position.

But Peter, seemingly aware of the situation, didn’t object.

Since that was the case, Melinda Williams didn’t want to push too hard and simply instructed, "Alright, go get your robot and be sure to clean everything within half a day."

"Okay."

Peter quickly grasped the situation; had Harlan Swift not warned him earlier, today might have turned sour. Navigating this bureaucratic world wasn’t easy—was a mere cleaning position really worth such competition?

"AI, show me where to get the tools."

Thankfully, with the help of the AI, Peter made his way to a storage area.

"My name is Peter Brown; Melinda Williams from the institution has tasked me with cleaning the third floor of Building Five. I’m here to retrieve a Cleaning Robot."

The five people guarding the warehouse scrutinized Peter and checked his Identity Card, their faces etched with complexity.

"The equipment you need is inside, along with the operating manual. There are also standards for a successful cleanup. Only after understanding how to handle the robots can you take one and leave."

As Peter entered the warehouse, the five onlookers exchanged glances, with one of the Young people lamenting, "Another one getting set up!"

"Can’t help it, too many are envious of a government position. His seems particularly designed for The Higher-Ups’ amusement. Not many can hold it for more than a few days. Look, they’ve got him cleaning immediately. Lucky he didn’t claim he couldn’t do it; otherwise, he wouldn’t even make it this far!"

"Newcomers are supposed to receive Seven Days of training before starting their tasks. Without adequate spiritual power, it’s impossible to learn so much knowledge, let alone manage cleaning. He needs to finish cleaning in half a day, but by then it’ll be too late to learn everything!"

The few began to shake their heads and sigh, convinced that Peter’s loss of the position was a foregone conclusion.

As Peter entered the warehouse, his mind raced with urgency. He knew the gravity of this situation; failing to complete today’s task meant the end of the comfortable position he had just secured, which Peter did not want to let happen. With many aspirations still within the institution, his journey of Cultivation might just begin here.

He immediately looked over the operating manual, which was critical. Understanding which machine was needed for cleaning the corridors was essential, as Peter decided to learn about the specific robots needed for the job.

Standing there, Peter tapped into his divine sense to begin his study.

For others lacking spiritual power, learning would surely be grueling. But knowing he possessed Divine Sense, Peter felt a surge of confidence and, without wasting time, located the necessary machines and imprinted the manual onto his Brain.

Without poring over the manual, Peter quickly found several robots and began swiftly learning their operating procedures.

Sweeping, vacuuming, disinfecting...

There were ten different robots to operate!

Only now did Peter realize the difficulty of the task. Anyone else would have been bewildered by now.

As he began to learn with his Divine Sense, Peter also noticed something else; the Ruyi Furnace was channeling a special form of energy into his Brain. As this energy entered his Brain Domain, his spiritual power surprisingly increased a notch.

With this boost, Peter learned even faster. With his background as a Master Artificer and extensive knowledge of Technology from the Phantom Realm, he was able to merge and comprehend everything quickly, taking him merely 10 minutes to grasp the concepts.

After briefly reviewing the cleaning standards and requirements, Peter wasted no more time.

"Let’s go!"

After making some settings, ten robots followed close behind Peter and they headed outside.

Peter felt operating these robots was not difficult at all, much like the robots in the Phantom Realm.

The five onlookers who had been sure of Peter’s imminent failure were astounded to see him emerge with the robots in tow, each one thinking to themselves, could this really be someone who just arrived?
