Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 412: Chapter 222: No Demand? Then Create Demand (Part 2)

Hymn Company’s Healing Pod can rapidly heal most ailments and accelerate physical regeneration.

Entering the Healing Pod can’t immediately eliminate the negative status left by the mist on Booker and Colton, but it greatly weakens the effects of the negative status.

However, they don’t need to completely eliminate it; they just need to suppress the negative status to a certain degree, and they naturally have ways to handle it.

The night quickly passed, and Wu Chang’s main body told several people a few key points before hastily heading to the company.

This morning, he has an interview.

At eight in the morning, Wu Chang arrived at the company right on time, and before he even reached the office, his secretary told him that the interviewees were already waiting in the conference room and could start the interview at any time.

At Hymn Company, everyone’s time is extremely precious, and they wish to sprint 100 meters with every move; a slow pace is considered too leisurely.

But Wu Chang is quite the opposite; he’s always strolling.

”Let them wait. Also, make me a cup of coffee.”

Sitting in the office, flipping through the resumes of several people.

A few leaders of the Iron Armor Corps—Fei Guang, Mist, Chiba—and their deputies, a total of six people, have chosen to interview for his department.

These individuals have clearly done their homework; ever since he took office, among Hymn Company’s three core departments, the fully automated defense systems department is the easiest department to get through.

After finishing a cup of coffee, Wu Chang leisurely headed to the conference room.

Before him, two department heads had already interviewed several people one after another.

Their scores were quite ordinary, only 65 points, which is barely a passing grade within the entire company.

However, for entry into the fully automated defense systems department, it is not qualified.

As a key department, the admission score threshold is 80.

Several people are quite far from this standard.

Even before Wu Chang arrived, the secretary had already told him that if he had urgent business, he could directly let these three go, without wasting time.

Wu Chang entered the conference room and looked at the six Player seated opposite him with tense expressions on their faces.

Contrary to the arrogant status they had when they just entered the instance last night, the six were now wearing full suits, sitting upright with obedient attitudes.

Fei Guang’s originally half-squinting eyes were wide open; Chiba had removed all the colorful decorations from her hair, and her long hair was styled into a bun.

The most significant difference belongs to Mist; last night he was shrouded in a thin mist, but now for the interview, he removed the mist covering his body, revealing a face that was rather ordinary.

Despite the previous two department heads having already expressed their lack of confidence in them, even sarcastically ridiculing them, they still wore kind smiles on their faces, completely absent of the God of Slaughter demeanor from last night.

As Wu Chang sized them up upon entering the room, his first sentence was, ”Do you know the score you received?”

Their smiles became somewhat rigid, and Fei Guang braced himself to say, ”I think the score does not reflect our abilities.”

Wu Chang gave a sarcasm-filled smile at Fei Guang, ”Are you questioning Hymn Company’s system?”

”I don’t dare.” Fei Guang was immediately at a loss for words.

Wu Chang shook his head, opened the tablet in hand, and placed it in front of them.

The scores given by the two department heads were all displayed on it.

Talking strictly about scores, only Fei Guang barely meets the standard, while the others face elimination.

Wu Chang said, ”Out there, you may be excellent, but this is Hymn Company, a place gathering top talents from across the Federation and the world. Your resumes here are simply ordinary beyond ordinary.”

”It’s no exaggeration to tell you, that old man wearing headphones and cleaning the floor in the lobby scored 67 in his interview back then.”

”A score of 65 means nothing; it means that in the eyes of the two department heads just now, your value is only fit for the maintenance department, cleaning department, or transport department—those departments that don’t require too much thinking.”

Wu Chang’s words, accompanied by the scores on the tablet, made the smiles on Fei Guang and the others’ faces untenable.

They originally thought they could rely on preparation and the fake resumes created using Item to at least scrape by into recruitment, but who knew the gap was so big.

Fei Guang’s widened eyes gradually narrowed; Mist exhaled imperceptible black mist with each breath, while Chiba pinched the edge of her clothes, from which a flower bud grew.

In the Desolate Realm, they are known as Players, and usually, when entering other instances, they mostly break through with brute force, resorting to mindless killing. What sort of grievance is this they are suffering?

If it weren’t for fulfilling orders from that organization, they would risk the instance failing and kill those two idiots who scored them 65.

What a joke, they made a whole set of fake resumes and only got a score of 65. Doesn’t that mean with their own strength, they couldn’t even do cleaning?

It’s too damn insulting.

Fei Guang and the others held their breath, ready to leave immediately once Wu Chang announced the interview failed, then kill those two guys tonight, and apply again at the maintenance department tomorrow.

They didn’t expect Wu Chang to suddenly clap his hands and say with satisfaction:

”I like your current status.”

He pointed at Fei Guang, ”Especially your expression.”

”They treat you as trash; coincidentally, they also call me trash behind my back. Maybe it’s the mutual sympathy between wastes, but I see a potential in your bodies.”

”If you can maintain this current state of unwillingness, anger, and murderous aura, I can give you an opportunity.”

Fei Guang and the others thought they had lost their chance, but who knew it suddenly took a turn, and they inexplicably completed the onboarding.

While they were still in a daze, Wu Chang called the department HR in and had them process the onboarding procedures for several people.
