Chapter 617: Ministers and the Seven Departments of the Gods

After statistics were compiled, aside from the few “mysteries” that Lin Qiye had directly eliminated in the prison, all the remaining ones had joined the ranks of the caregivers, bringing the total number to 297. This meant that the current Divine Mental Hospital had a total of 297 official caregivers.

Looking at the noisy group of caregivers in the yard, Lin Qiye suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Where was he supposed to accommodate such a large group of people?

When there were only six or seven caregivers, the small dormitories on the first floor of the hospital were sufficient, but now, with nearly three hundred more caregivers all at once, he couldn’t possibly let them all sleep in the yard, could he?

Although he didn’t consider himself a particularly conscientious boss, he still couldn’t bring himself to let his employees sleep outdoors.

Just as Lin Qiye was pondering this, the Divine Mental Hospital beneath his feet suddenly shook violently. Lin Qiye was taken aback and quickly turned his head to look in a certain direction.

At the edge of the hospital, an area that had been shrouded in walls and mist suddenly twisted violently, with the mist retreating frantically, revealing a large stretch of ground. At the same time, a towering building rose from the ground.

This sudden change startled the new caregivers in the yard, fear and worry appearing in their eyes. Having just emerged from their cells, they instinctively resisted and distrusted this unfamiliar environment.

Roars of bears, chirps of birds, barks of dogs, and various other animal sounds mixed together, creating a cacophony that hurt the ears.

Lin Qiye frowned, about to say something, when a thunderous sound erupted from behind him.

Boom—!!!

A blinding light, mixed with a fierce aura, surged out from Room 4. The ancient ape draped in a cassock sat still like a stone statue, its furnace-like brilliant eyes now wide open.

Its brow was tightly furrowed, seemingly quite displeased.

“Shut up!!!” The roar of the fierce ape erupted from its mouth, and the rolling divine power once again overwhelmed all the caregivers in the yard, knocking them to the ground!

This thunderous voice drowned out all the animal sounds, causing the two hundred and ninety new caregivers to kneel on the ground, an endless fear surging in their hearts, their minds shaken!

Why was there another divine presence?

First, there was the beautiful woman draped in starry robes, and now a fierce ape with golden eyes—gods they had never dared to imagine appearing in their dreams were now showing up one after another… What kind of place was this?

After the fierce ape’s roar ended, the entire hospital fell silent. It seemed to have vented its anger, the golden light in its eyes gradually dimming, and it slowly closed its eyes, once again becoming a statue.

Truly worthy of being the Great Sage…

Seeing that all the caregivers dared not move, Lin Qiye couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration.

He turned to look beside him; the towering building had already been completed. It had seven floors, with a dozen rooms on each floor, and each room had four beds…

This is…

An employee dormitory?!

Lin Qiye was stunned for a few seconds before accepting the fact that the hospital had automatically constructed an employee dormitory. He looked down at the ground beneath his feet, his expression somewhat complex.

As expected, as Nix said, this hospital… is alive.

He had just received over two hundred caregivers, and it had automatically built a dormitory. If he said this hospital had no consciousness, even Lin Qiye himself wouldn’t believe it.

However, during this time, he had also tried to communicate with the hospital, but it had not responded at all. He didn’t know if it was because his method of communication was wrong or if the hospital simply didn’t want to acknowledge him.

Lin Qiye shook his head, temporarily putting these chaotic thoughts aside, and his gaze returned to the new caregivers who were still prostrating on the ground.

Now that there was a place to stay, how was he supposed to manage so many people…

After pondering for a moment, Lin Qiye had an idea.

“Li Yifei, A Zhu, Mo Fang, Beile Ye, Wang Cai.” Lin Qiye called over a few old cadres who were standing not far away.

Among them, Wang Cai was the name Lin Qiye had given to the little Haba dog. Given Lin Qiye’s naming skills, finding such a name was already quite impressive. Fortunately, the dog itself didn’t seem to mind the name and even wanted to stand up in a tuxedo to applaud Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye once again cast a summoning spell in the hospital, calling back the outsiders Hong Yan and Hei Tong. The seven of them stood in a row.

These seven caregivers were Lin Qiye’s original team and had been with him the longest; they were absolute veterans.

“From now on, each of you will lead a group of the new caregivers and establish different departments, serving as heads to systematically manage the various affairs of the Divine Mental Hospital.

Li Yifei will oversee the General Affairs Department, responsible for coordinating the work of the other departments; A Zhu will manage the Dining Department, responsible for the meals throughout the hospital; Mo Fang will oversee the Internal Affairs Department, responsible for laundry, drying, changing bed linens, and other internal tasks; Hong Yan will manage the Security Department, responsible for the hospital’s safety and defense… although it may not be entirely necessary.

Beile Ye will oversee the Agricultural Department, responsible for planting and maintaining the greenery and crops within the hospital; Wang Cai will manage the Cleaning Department, responsible for all sanitation in the hospital; Hei Tong will oversee the Inspection Department, responsible for identifying and resolving potential issues within the hospital and reporting them to me immediately.”

Lin Qiye looked at the group, “Do you all understand?”

Five of them nodded, while only Hong Yan looked confused. Wang Cai suddenly stood up from the ground, excitedly barking once, though it was unclear if he understood.

“…Li Yifei, you help me take good care of them.” Lin Qiye walked over to Li Yifei with a helpless expression and patted his shoulder, “From now on, you are the true chief steward!”

“Don’t worry, Qiye, I promise to manage them well!” Li Yifei grinned.

It must be said that Li Yifei was quite capable.

He led the other six department heads to the yard below, conducting secondary interviews with the new caregivers in batches, assigning them to different departments based on their backgrounds, races, preferences, and personalities. They also planned several training sessions for the caregivers, with Hei Tong serving as the instructor to instill the correct values in these new caregivers.

As for why it was Hei Tong… Li Yifei felt that this guy had a natural talent for multi-level marketing.

Meilin sat in the rocking chair in the study, holding a steaming thermos, smiling as she watched the lively yard below, stroking the few remaining hairs on her head, and sighed:

“Youth is truly wonderful…”

…

Starry night.

Sitting alone on the hillside, Lin Qiye opened his eyes to see the petite girl in a black sakura kimono quietly stepping out of the container, walking straight towards him.

“Where are your subordinates?” Yuzhina asked, noticing that the two people beside Lin Qiye had disappeared.

“They went back to work,” Lin Qiye replied. “Why aren’t you sleeping?”

Yuzhina silently sat down beside him, hugging her knees and looking up at the starry sky above.

Her eyes reflected the stars, and after a moment of silence, she said, “I can’t sleep.”
