The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle-Chapter 155 - 142: The World Desperate for Making Money_2
That is to say... there are other players, at this very moment, also interviewing at other companies.
Everyone is desperately trying to make money, to boost their Points.
A middle-aged man actually smiled and greeted Su Qi, "Looks like you're the last player among all the interviewees."
"Anything to say?"
"Time," the young man pointed to the holographic time on the wall, "Half a minute after you entered this area, no one was allowed to enter anymore."
"So, apart from those other interviewees, only the five of us are the players recruited by this company."
Apart from the middle-aged man and the young man, there was also a female player and Fatty!
"Next."
At that moment, a cold voice came from inside the interview room.
Someone was thrown out, burned all over, with skin split and flesh open.
"This really isn't a normal interview, is it?" Fatty's eyelids were twitching.
"That's the seventh one now," said a young man with glasses, shaking his head slightly, "Being known as the Abnormality Containment Company, of course it's not that simple."
"I predict that making money in this city... even with a regular job, carries a high risk."
The young man pondered and analyzed clearly, "However, fortunately, based on my understanding, every company has a promotion system, and they don't look at seniority, only ability, which is also a way for players to earn money and pull ahead."
"After all, the way to gain Points is through spending; only when you make enough money and have status can you afford high expenses."
Su Qi looked at his ID [Rainier Vale], it seemed he was a player skilled in gathering information and analyzing.
"So, I suggest that the five of us should team up, make use of our respective advantages, and strive to advance in position to earn Cyber Coins," suggested the young man, and the other three agreed.
"What do you think... Player Su Buxian?" Rainier Vale looked at Su Qi, in his view, the arrangement by each company was akin to dividing players into teams, and since that was the case, then the five of them had to work together.
"I think..."
Su Qi mused, "Instead of working ourselves to death and spending our earnings on our boss's cars and houses, we might as well go for something bigger. I have a way that makes more money."
The others looked surprised, "What is it?"
He paused, "On the way here, there was a bank..."
"??"
Rainier Vale coughed, "Don't joke... Robbing a bank in this city is a grave crime. According to the information I saw on the way here... it's simply not possible."
Su Qi with interest, "Why?"
The reason he was last to arrive was that he had stood outside the bank for a long time.
He truly intended to go through with it.
"Any criminal action will be swiftly dealt with by the enforcement squads. They are very powerful, nearly insurmountable in terms of armament and strength for players," Rainier Vale shook his head, "Plus, once you commit a crime, your citizenship will be revoked, and you'll be placed under a city-wide warrant. Then you'll be in an endless state of being hunted down, especially in the cyber world where electronic eyes and tracking technology are everywhere."
"Unable to make money, also unable to boost Points, so almost no players choose this path."
Rainier Vale believed that after telling him all this, the young man in front would no longer consider such a dangerous route.
"So, better to focus on the upcoming interview instead, it should be an opportunity given by the system. If you don't pass, you can expect to be in a quite difficult situation."
Su Qi gave an OK gesture.
"Don't worry, I'm not reckless."
He wouldn't act recklessly now, after all, he was without information or much certainty. Best to see what the company had to offer next before deciding... how to rob the bank.
Rainier Vale was unaware of the dangerous thoughts in Su Qi's mind.
He was still analyzing what kind of interview it could be.
And soon enough.
Not many remained in the interview room; several people had been eliminated.
Some were unhurt but pallid, exuding an air of desperation.
They seemed to be people at their wits' end, without this job they'd have no income, soon to be expelled, a situation almost akin to being dead.
"Looks like it's just you five left."
A holographic head with a flashing red light appeared at the entrance of the hallway room, as if sizing them up.
"Come in together."
Rainier Vale silently signaled everyone to be careful and then took the lead in walking over.
After entering the room, the lighting was somewhat dim.
Behind a long table, there sat a person with an invisible face, wearing a mask, with a body that was modified.
And there were no chairs in front.
Rainier Vale stood first in line.
From the very start, he had been gathering information, and he also believed he should be the strongest in terms of experience and ability among the five players.
Then he simply had to be this leader.
No matter what happened in the interview, he was psychologically prepared.
"Where do you come from."
The interviewer did not even ask for a name.
"Slums..." Rainier Vale began.
But the interviewer calmly cut him off, "Slums? I'm not asking you where you live, but the world you're originally from."
Rainier Vale's expression stiffened.
The original world... Damn, he almost forgot... seeing the massive diversity of racial residents within the city, it was clear that this was a melting pot of a city, inhabited by people from many different worlds.
"Paradise."
He glanced at the lie detector and spat out these two words.
And the others followed suit.
"Paradise..."
"Paradise..."
"Paradise..."
"Eastern Earth Great Tang."

All four couldn't help but turn to look at Su Qi, their eyes wide: "????"
Su Qi spread his hands: "I'm not lying."
The interviewer noticed that the lie detection device did not give a warning, and he actually recorded it.
Then, without asking any other questions, not even their names, he said calmly, "Let's get right to the main topic then."
The partition in the middle of the table gently opened, and five empty boxes were pushed forward.
"Our job post is quite simple, it's about deliveries, containment."
"You need to pack the items that customers need into these boxes."
"For example..." He snapped his fingers.
Five glass jars appeared on the table, each with a creature resembling an octopus but covered in spikes.
"The only thing you need to do now is to put it in the box without damaging anything, and then pack it up."
"Of course, by anything, I don't mean yourselves."
Rainier Vale took a deep breath and nodded: "Understood."
Su Qi looked over.
That octopus abnormality... with spines all over its body, had considerable strength, was venomous and had strong aggressiveness, but was extremely low in intelligence and had weak spiritual power, his pupils flickered slightly.
Rainier Vale was also quietly conveying a message: "Don't provoke it, don't touch the spikes, and be as gentle as possible. It's best to not make any sound at all."
The others were cautiously operating by the various detailed indications stuck on the glass jars.
And then.
"Hand it over."
The glass jar in front of Su Qi had already been opened directly.
And the octopus was reaching out a tentacle, shaking hands with Su Qi like a little dog.
"???" Rainier Vale's eyes widened: "How did you manage that!"
Su Qi snapped his fingers: "Trick of the trade, don't forget it's all in the technique."
He discovered that his Spiritual Eyes contained the Origin Strength of the Evil God Abyss, and although it hadn't shown directly, it had a high priority of influence on all sorts of abnormalities... since abnormalities are the result of Pollution... and the power of Pollution comes from the Abyss, with the Evil God being the ringleader of Pollution.
But there were limits to the influence.
"Stand up!" Su Qi commanded, and the octopus abnormality propped itself up with its tentacles.
"Front flip!"
The octopus gritted its teeth and performed a flip in mid-air!
"Back flip!"
It did so again!
"Do a 720-degree spiral flip!"
The octopus came to a standstill, clueless on how to proceed after a long while, caught in a dilemma right there.
But at that moment, due to excessive stimulation, it seemed to shake off the influence. Then, anger erupting from within, it actually let out a roar and charged at Su Qi with its tentacles!
The next moment.
Smack!
"Alright, in you go."
Su Qi slapped it into the box and deftly closed it.
"....."
Rainier Vale and the others watched this scene in shock, and the interviewer fell silent.
What in the actual hell kind of move was that!
