Chapter 523: 506: Corporate Slave WorkersChapter 523: Chapter 506: Corporate Slave Workers

The most pressing matter was to figure out the time difference between the World of Gods and the real world, so she could arrange her Trial Time and real life properly.

Otherwise, like now, she wouldn’t know what time she returned from her trial, being day and night, causing delays in her real-world cultivation.

Since she had quite a bit of Trial Time saved up, Mu Ying planned to continue staying in the egg in the World of Gods, and would make plans after clearing up the time difference.

As an egg, Mu Ying spent most of her time asleep, only occasionally waking up.

When she was awake, most of the time outside the eggshell she heard the sound of spring water pinging, wind blowing through the leaves, and birds chirping.

Maeve’s mother must have often been out, as she seldom heard her voice, and occasionally when she spoke nearby, Mu Ying was also sleeping.

She only remembered that she had said something, but wasn’t quite sure what exactly it was.

What often accompanied her, however, was another voice.

One that often cleaned her eggshell for her, sang songs, or told her stories.

Mu Ying hadn’t fully listened to the stories, but they mostly revolved around Maeve’s mother.

The voice referred to Maeve’s mother as “Mother Goddess” and called Mu Ying “little goddess,” sounding like a subordinate or follower of Maeve’s mother.

The fact that Maeve’s mother was often out was also conveyed by this voice.

So, as she transformed from a small black dot into a small meat ball, then a large meat ball, and subsequently elongated into a small embryo with vague limbs and body organs, she still knew nothing about this world.

As she grew larger, her frequency of deep sleep decreased slightly, but she was still quite fond of sleeping.

One day, she suddenly heard Maeve’s mother’s voice say, “Finally, I got the last type of Purest Spring Water! Once Mommy condenses these 9,999 strands of Purest Spring Water into Divine Water Silk and weaves them into a Divine Water Dress, our little girl can hatch. I really want to see you twirling on the water in that Divine Water Dress.

By the way, Mommy has moved the Divine Country to a Small World with stronger natural laws, which the Pregnancy God Department says is conducive to your growth.

Mommy also found a job as a Lake Goddess here, which pays less than a Spring Water Goddess in the Big World, but the higher Divine Position is good for my promotion. In about a hundred years, after you hatch, I’ll begin my tenure.

By the time you start working, I’ll be trying to be a River Goddess in this world, at least earning a salary of a Low-level God, so I can buy many pretty little dresses for our little girl!

Moreover, this world is also quite suitable for your first internship, and Mommy can keep an eye on you then...”

As she listened, Mu Ying became sleepy again.

To avoid sleeping for too long and getting confused, she quickly left the Trial World.

Before, Maeve’s mother always called her “darling,” but this time she referred to her as “our little girl,” and even the prepared birthday gift was a little dress.

Mu Ying realized that the previous gender verification check had already passed.

She had hoped to use that opportunity to calculate the time difference, but she guessed she had been asleep and missed it.

Now she could only make a rough estimate, from the time Maeve’s mother brought her home until now, only about five days had passed in the real world.

Five days and at least a hundred years, this time difference meant that one hour in the real world was at least equivalent to one year in the World of Gods!

The disparity was too vast!

By this calculation, hatching would only require at most another five days in the real world.

Beyond that, Maeve’s mother mentioned “Spring Water Goddess,” “Lake Goddess,” “Big World,” “Small World,” which also made Mu Ying quite concerned.

It seemed that Maeve’s mother used to work as a Spring Water Goddess in the Big World, but she retired during this pregnancy and her next job was as a Lake Goddess in the Small World.

It seemed rather significant to Maeve’s mother that a minor River God could earn the salary of a Low-level God, indicating that she probably hadn’t even reached that level before.

With both work and salary involved, and even issues of promotion, removing the word “God” makes it all feel way too familiar!

Isn’t this a world where Gods wander around looking for jobs to earn money as corporate drones?

Mu Ying was dumbfounded. They were all gods, yet they still needed to work odd jobs? Who were they working for? Who was paying them?

Suddenly, the mystique of the World of Gods dropped more than a notch or two.

And it seemed like her mother wasn’t doing too well!

The subsidies for bearing a Divine Embryo were calculated at the rate of a Middle-level God, whereas her mother’s salary was even less than that of a Low-level God.

This Low-level God clearly seemed inferior to a Middle-level God.

In Mu Ying’s mind, an image naturally formed of a single mother working hard to make money while caring for her child.

It just... felt somewhat heart-wrenching!

The child of a poor family must take on responsibilities early. She needed to grow up quickly, break out of her shell, find a job, and earn money to support her family!

So she entered the World of Gods without delay and went back to sleep inside the egg.

Normally, when the World of Gods was operational, time in the First Trial World of Square World also passed.

Theoretically, when she entered the Square World, it wouldn’t affect the progress of her gestation inside the eggshell in the World of Gods.

This way, she could leave her character’s body to grow in the World of Gods while her consciousness entered the Square World to mine, which wouldn’t be too boring and might even earn her some extra Source Power.

But to be safe, she decided not to take advantage of this convenience.

Because after each period of deep sleep, when she checked her Divine Embryo, both her physical body and Divine Soul had grown.

The physical body wasn’t much of a concern, but she didn’t know whether the growth of her character’s Divine Soul in the World of Gods would be affected if her consciousness entered the Square World.

If there was indeed an effect, and she ended up with a powerful Divine Body but a lagging Divine Soul strength, how could she work hard to make a fortune and support her Maeve’s mother?

So it was better to just stay put!

As time passed, Mu Ying found herself awake more frequently, and her body was also growing better.

However, as her body grew, her vision became restricted.

Previously, when she was just a tiny dot, her perspective was a 360-degree view with no blind spots. Now that she had grown eyes and with the surrounding egg fluid covering them, she couldn’t see anything at all.

Her only option was to feel around with her hands, trying to figure out what she looked like.

Two arms, two legs, fingers and toes just like a human’s, Mu Ying felt she was no different from a human baby, except that she was growing inside an egg.

She wondered how the intellectual development of a newly born Divine Race compared to that of human babies. With hatching time drawing closer, how would she play the part of a Divine Race infant?

Mu Ying swam in the egg fluid, pondering these thoughts.

The egg rocked once, rolling over.

“The little goddess is moving around again!” came an exclamation.
