Ma Lin thought to himself, "I'm just a minor character; running errands is my fate. Without running errands, I can't become someone important."
Now, his temper was quite good. Many evil deities within the Nine Heavens Divine System looked down on him, thinking he was worthless and easy to bully, so they would ask him to run errands with very poor attitudes.
Ma Lin considered the social environment and felt that since they dared to make requests, he should agree to them.
Why? These evil deities were like ticking time bombs, possibly causing harm to society at any moment—an issue that was difficult to resolve. It was very hard to integrate them into society and also challenging to constrain them.
Since they were asking Ma Lin to run errands, it allowed for a connection to be established, which enabled Ma Lin to exert influence over them. Although this task was difficult to undertake, if dealt with seriously, it could be of great value.
