The Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird had just taken flight, and Xu Fang had also finished refining the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin.
Seeing the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird about to leave, Xu Fang was about to call out to him when a long-absent prompt sounded.
"Ding!"
"Due to the host's continuous exploration of the traces of various treasures in the chat group, the chat group can now be upgraded!"
"Would you like to upgrade immediately?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Fang immediately forgot about the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird and let him go.
After all, he was now at the Great Golden Immortal realm, capable of traversing the Great Desolation alone without issue. Venturing onto this island for a while would be no problem.
Xu Fang immediately sat down again and began to ponder.
The chat group had upgraded before. The last upgrade had given him a treasure map.
However, that was a long time ago, back when he had just found the Heaven-Measuring Ruler and the Ruyi Jingu Bang, triggering the Great Desolation Treasure Hunter mission and obtaining the treasure map.
The treasure map was incredibly practical, allowing him to no longer waste effort, time, and energy searching the treasure list for suitable items. A glance at the treasure map was all he needed.
Since acquiring the treasure map, he had felt as if divinely aided, unknowingly accumulating over a dozen treasures.
Xu Fang recalled the many benefits of the treasure map and naturally looked forward to this upgrade. He wondered what good things it would bring to the Gentleman.
With this thought, Xu Fang quickly confirmed mentally.
"System, upgrade!"
As Xu Fang spoke, the system's voice responded.
"Ding!"
"The chat group is upgrading, please wait!"
Xu Fang heard this, opened the chat group, and indeed, it was now a hazy gray, in a locked state.
Seeing this, Xu Fang became even more expectant. The last upgrade had been silent. This time, with such a grand display, it should be bigger than the last, with more benefits, right?
Since he had nothing else to do, Xu Fang looked at his pile of treasures.
"Alright, stop bullying the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin."
Xu Fang saw his pile of treasures, led by the Heaven-Measuring Ruler, surrounding the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin again. Feeling for it, he called out.
"Little Xu, don't worry. You're just a treasure owner, what do you know about treasures?"
The Heaven-Measuring Ruler spoke. Perhaps feeling its tone was too impolite, it quickly added.
"We are conducting onboarding training for the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin. Just watch!"
"Onboarding training?"
Xu Fang was greatly confused, wondering if he had misheard. Did treasures require onboarding training?
"Alas, little Xu, you truly lack knowledge!"
Seeing Xu Fang like this, the Heaven-Measuring Ruler felt a sense of disappointment, as if it wished he would not let it down. However, it patiently explained to Xu Fang.
"Treasures aren't completely devoted to their master just by being refined. Just like this Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin, it wasn't planning to trick you during the refinement process before?"
"So, to deal with such situations, we stayed up all night to create an onboarding training plan. From now on, any treasure joining us will have to go through this process."
Xu Fang was greatly displeased. A treasure from the Great Desolation was mocking him, a transmigrator, for not understanding onboarding training?
However, Xu Fang was also curious about how their onboarding training worked, so he quickly asked.
"How does this process work? Brother Ruler, tell me all about it."
When it came to this, the Heaven-Measuring Ruler was no longer sleepy. It began to impart its wisdom to Xu Fang.
"Treasures that join us from now on will have to pass our tests. Like this Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin, it needs to be tested before it can join our Xu Fang Treasure family."
"From now on, little Xu, when you acquire treasures, just refine them and hand them over to us. You don't need to worry about the rest."
The Heaven-Measuring Ruler then called out to the pile of treasures.
"Done yet? Show little Xu something!"
"Yes, yes!"
All the treasures responded in unison and soon pushed the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin towards Xu Fang.
"Come on, give your onboarding declaration!"
The Heaven-Measuring Ruler spoke, not forgetting to explain to Xu Fang.
"This onboarding declaration is the first step of onboarding."
The Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin appeared before Xu Fang. After receiving the Heaven-Measuring Ruler's instructions, it began to make its onboarding declaration.
"I, the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin, hereby join the Xu Fang Treasure family today. I solemnly swear that from now on, I will be loyal to my master Xu Fang, loyal to my elder brother, the Heaven-Measuring Ruler, and unite and cooperate with other treasures, marching towards the grand stage of the Great Desolation!"
Listening to these words, Xu Fang felt as if he had returned to his past life.
Looking at the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin speaking so earnestly, and the excited treasures beside it, it was as if they were witnessing the birth of an employee.
"So, this so-called onboarding training is just this?"
Xu Fang asked after the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin finished speaking.
"Far from it. From now on, we will need to provide it with various ideological guidance and psychological construction."
The Heaven-Measuring Ruler transformed into an onboarding mentor, introducing its treasure workplace culture to Xu Fang.
"Moreover, its current declaration of joining is not yet a formal membership. It still needs a probationary period."
"Probationary period?"
Xu Fang was quite shocked. Indeed, with so many treasures, they were doing big things when they had nothing else to do. They had actually come up with such a system.
"You mean this Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin is now an intern?"
Xu Fang asked. Wasn't this so-called probationary period just treating the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin as an intern?
"Intern? That term is a bit strange, but it seems quite fitting."
The Heaven-Measuring Ruler pondered Xu Fang's newly proposed term and found it increasingly sensible. It immediately called out.
"Six Roots Pure Bamboo, make a note of this. From now on, treasures in their probationary period will be called interns!"
"Understood!"
The Six Roots Pure Bamboo responded, clearly having noted the matter.
Seeing this, Xu Fang exclaimed, "Good heavens! This Heaven-Measuring Ruler is truly remarkable, even roping in the Six Roots Pure Bamboo as a subordinate!"
"So, when will this intern, the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin, be able to become a formal treasure?"
Xu Fang asked. He hoped that during its internship, its usage wouldn't be restricted.
"Don't worry, this won't affect your use of it."
The Heaven-Measuring Ruler clearly understood Xu Fang and said.
"Moreover, for it to become a formal member, it needs to take action three times or achieve a significant meritorious service. Therefore, it can't wait to perform well!"
Xu Fang nodded upon hearing this. This was very modern management.
Xu Fang's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was deeply shaken.
He truly didn't know how these treasures had come up with this idea, actually developing corporate culture behind his back. He wondered how many employee treasures they would create for him in the future!
