Non-Human Seeking Re-employment

"Hey?"

There was a burst of electricity on the other end of the phone, followed by a man's hoarse voice: "Hello, Life Science Research Company, how can I help you?"

The players were a little puzzled.

Aren't all the scientific researchers in the base dead?Why are there still fish that slip through the net?

Shen Dongqing: "Uh..."

He handed the phone directly to Zhou Wenyan.

Zhou Wenyan held Shen Dongqing's hand and talked to the person on the other end of the phone.

"We saw the recruitment notice, is your company still recruiting people?"

"Ahem..." the man said after coughing, "Recruitment, what position do you want to apply for?"

Zhou Wenyan: "Scientists."

The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and replied: "We are not recruiting scientific research personnel and logistics now."

Seeing that the person was about to hang up the phone, Zhou Wenyan pinched the recruitment notice and said, "Then we are applying for volunteers."

"Volunteers... There are still a few vacancies, please come and register."

Zhou Wenyan asked, "Where is the company address?"

"It's written on the back of the recruitment notice, come before five o'clock in the afternoon, and you won't wait when it's overdue."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wenyan turned over the paper, and there was an extra address on the back that was blank.

Life Sciences Research Corporation.

Address: Room 144, 4th Floor, No. 401 Hope Street

Wu Jia looked at the road sign next to him: "This is Peach Blossom Road."

This city is so big that there is not even a person to ask for directions. Finding such a place is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack.

It's almost one o'clock in the afternoon now, and I'm afraid I won't be there before five o'clock.

Zhou Wenyan put away the recruitment notice and walked towards the convenience store.

Shen Dongqing followed behind him, picking at the counter, and finally chose a lollipop. Before she could tear open the package, she was stopped by someone.

Zhou Wenyan took the lollipop from his hand, with a helpless expression on his face: "It's expired."

Shen Dongqing blinked her eyes: "What did you take?"

Zhou Wenyan: "Map."

A map of the city.

Fortunately, convenience stores sell them, otherwise it would take a lot of time to find a place.

Zhou Wenyan unfolded the map on the ground, and a group of people surrounded the map to find a small "road of hope".

Shen Dongqing pointed to one of them and said, "This place looks familiar."

Zhou Wenyan looked over and found that the shape of the building there was indeed very familiar, similar to the street in the university town in the virtual world before.

"It appears that the virtual world is built on the basis of this city."

He continued to look down, and near the point Shen Dongqing pointed out, there was a road marked with the words "Hope Road".

"it's here."

Fortunately, I hope the road is not far from here, otherwise I really can't arrive before five o'clock.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the place where the life science research company is located is exactly the same as the school's teaching building in the virtual world.

It's just that here, the teaching building has become a residential building, and it doesn't look like a company at all from the outside.

Wu Jia: "Purse bag company?"

It doesn't look very formal.

A group of people walked into the narrow corridor and walked upstairs.

On the fourth floor, they were stopped by a security door. On the wall next to the door was a simple sign that said "Life Science Research Company".

The door is locked.

Wu Jia went up and knocked on the door, but there seemed to be no response from inside, so he knocked on the door again.

"It's not five o'clock yet..."

At this time, Shen Dongqing walked up and rolled up her sleeves: "I'll do it."

Wu Jia understood that he was going to perform the unique skill of opening the door again, so he quickly made room for him, and said, "Take it easy, this is the anti-theft door."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a "bang", and a gap was opened on the anti-theft door.

Shen Dongqing withdrew her hand: "Security door?"

Wu Jia: Just pretend I didn’t say it.

Behind the door is an office, which was remodeled from a living room, and it looks a bit messy. There are stacks of documents on the table, and cigarette butts are thrown all over the floor.

Shen Dongqing rubbed the tip of her nose, she didn't like the smell very much.

Zhou Wenyan went to open the window, and a gust of wind blew the documents rattling. One of them flew in front of him. He caught it and saw that there were some job requirements written on it, such as recruiting a certain number of people every month. volunteers.

The players over there started to flip through things with ease.

But before finding any useful clues, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside.

The players looked at each other, and they didn't plan to act rashly without knowing whether it was a human or a ghost.

The people outside were not walking fast, and they were stunned when they saw the anti-theft door open: "I remember it was closed..."

He walked in while talking, closed the door with his backhand, raised his head, and met the people in the room.

"you……"

Before he could say a word, he tilted his head and fell limply to the ground.

Shen Dongqing withdrew her hand: "So it's a human." The hand moved a little faster.

Other players: ...

It was a gentle young man who fell on the ground.

He lay down for a while, recovered slowly, slowly opened his eyes, and then saw a group of people around him.

"..."

How weak and innocent he looked.

The young man responded very quickly: "There is no money in the company, you can take whatever you want, don't hit me, don't hit me!"

Zhou Wenyan walked out: "We are here to apply for the job."

The young man gave Zhou Wenyan a suspicious look.

Apply?He believed that he was here to rob. His neck is still hurting.

The players all showed kind smiles.

The young man stood up suspiciously, rubbed his neck, and walked to the desk: "Then you guys should fill out your resume first."

Zhou Wenyan glanced at the blank resume briefly, and there were some common questions on it.He didn't rush to fill it out, but asked first: "Is there a staff member named Chen here?"

The young man froze for a moment: "I am, what's the problem?"

Zhou Wenyan took out the business card and put it on the table.

The young man picked it up and took a look: "That's right, it's me."

He pointed to a business card box on the table. The business card in the box said "Mr. Chen, Sales Manager of Life Science Research Company".

It is the same as the business cards obtained by players.

Finally found a breakthrough.

The young man urged: "Hurry up and fill out your resume, I'm leaving get off work soon."

Zhou Wenyan took out a pen and wrote his name on the resume.

The young man looked at it and muttered, "Why does it look so familiar?"

He turned on the computer, opened a piece of software, clicked on the keyboard, poked his head out from behind the computer screen, and said, "You have applied for the job before, next one."

Wu Jia followed closely behind and announced his name.

Young man: "This has also been reported."

After looking up the names of Shen Dongqing and the short-haired girl, the young man rolled his eyes: "Aren't you here to play with me? Everyone is already a volunteer of the company, why are you applying for a job?"

Wu Jia: "When did it happen?"

The young man pointed to the business card: "You must have made this call before. When you are on the phone, I often send some business cards to other cities. As long as someone calls, you can come over."

Players automatically substituted keywords.

These business cards are dungeon keepsakes, and the young people hand them out. As long as the players call the above number, anyone who has touched the dungeon keepsakes will enter the game field.

Wu Jia remembered that before entering the dungeon, they had indeed made the phone call on the business card.

What did the person on the phone say at that time?

The players struggled to recall.

Originally they had forgotten about it, but now that the young man brought it up, the fog covering the memory instantly dissipated and became clear.

"Hello, Life Science Research Corporation, how can I help you?"

"Are you here to apply? Only applicants can enter our company."

"What position do we have? Uh... what education do you have? The highest is a bachelor's degree? Then you can only apply for volunteers, register your name, and you must not go back on your word."

Zhou Wenyan: "What do volunteers do?"

The young man said hesitantly: "Cooperate with the company to do some experiments, don't worry, we guarantee a good salary, with an annual salary of one million."

Players think of those people lying in the nutrition cabin, what's the use of good treatment?Everyone has finished playing, and there is no chance to use it!

Young man: "You have already started working, why don't you know anything?"

Shen Dongqing missed the point again: "What about our salary?"

Young man: "I just recruit people, no one has ever asked me for salary..."

Yes.

None of the recruited people could leave the base, so who can come to ask for salary?

Zhou Wenyan pulled back the topic: "We want to resign."

Young man: "There is no precedent for resignation in our company, which makes it very difficult for me..."

Shen Dongqing muttered: "You don't get paid and you don't resign. This is illegal for you."

The young man was silent.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with saying that, but who would reason with the NPC in the game field?

This is too strange.

Shen Dongqing: "So it's normal for us to quit."

Young man: "But..."

When he saw Shen Dongqing's clenched fist, his neck felt sore for a while, and he could no longer "but".

"Okay, okay, I'll go through the resignation procedures for you, but I still need the approval from the base. If it doesn't get approved, I don't care about my business." The young man quickly found a resignation template on the Internet, printed it out, and distributed it to them. one sheet.

A group of people signed their names at the end of the resignation letter.

After signing, Wu Jia's lips moved, and he said silently, "The NPCs at the base are all dead..."

How can this be approved?

The young man didn't know about the tragedy that happened at the base, so he entered the resignation letter into the system.

"just wait."

Not long after the young man finished speaking, he saw that the base had approved the resignation application. He still couldn't believe it: "It passed?"

The players were a little strange at the beginning, but they remembered later that although all the NPCs in the base had burped, there was still a ghost who was granted the status of the temporary base controller.

It wished that the group of demons would leave early, and when it saw this resignation application, it agreed without thinking.

"Okay, then I'll do it for you."

The young man took out the official seal and stamped it on the resignation letter.

Snapped--

A bright red chapter appeared on it.

When the official seal fell, the players in the office heard a voice.

【You have resigned from the life science research company】

[Congratulations, you have successfully cleared the customs, and the settlement is in progress——]

[This time the score is S, get 5000 points, and drop special items [key fragments*2]]

[Due to the loss of most of the talents of the life science research company, it is temporarily closed for re-employment]

【Players please wait patiently, after the company reorganizes and reopens, it will degenerate into an A-level or B-level game copy】

After leaving the game field, Wu Jia still hadn't realized it: "Is this the end?"

Zhou Wenyan asked back: "Go in and play two laps?"

Wu Jia waved his hands again and again: "Forget it." He lowered his voice and muttered, "This is too simple, it doesn't look like an S-level dungeon at all."

When Yu You heard Wu Jia's words, he was about to cry.

Isn't it difficult?

The difficulty of the Life Science Research Company is in the middle-to-lower level in the S-level dungeon, but it also makes all the players who enter it stumbled.

Most players can't get out of the virtual world. They have gone through so many games with fear, and their mental state is not very good. Then they suddenly encounter such a safe and stable environment. Many people will not want to wake up. , preferring to indulge in the false world.

Especially players who insist on clearing the level will encounter countless ghosts, while players who give up will be very safe. Compared with the two, more people will choose to give up.

Only a small number of players can wake up from the virtual world, but they will face the ghosts of the entire base.

Even in front of the white coat, the white coat can also release the "strongest weapon", and he has a lot of potions that enhance the ability, which is enough to wipe out the players.

Coincidentally, at this place, the white coat discovered Shen Dongqing, took it as a novel experimental product, and used all the precious medicines on him. As a result, he turned around and crushed all the ghosts. Even the "strongest weapon" can't last three seconds.

This reduces the difficulty of the game infinitely.

After figuring out the joints, Wu Jia sighed: "We still win by lying down."

Shen Dongqing exclaimed: "Ah!"

After attracting the attention of others, he smiled sheepishly: "My horn is gone."

After leaving the dungeon, the abnormalities on his body disappeared, the protruding ghost horns shrank back, the ghost lines on his cheeks were also hidden under the skin, and he turned into a white and clean youth again.

Shen Dongqing took a small mirror and looked left and right: "I still like this." It looks like a person.

Zhou Wenyan smiled lowly: "I like everything."

Shen Dongqing put down the small mirror with a "snap", made a face at him, and said inarticulately: "I'm very scary——"

Zhou Wenyan directly pulled the man over and rubbed his face well.

Shen Dongqing: "Umm..."

When Zhou Wenyan withdrew his hand, only a slight blush remained on his cheeks.

Wu Jia left at some point, avoiding the heart-wrenching scene for single people, and there were only the two of them left in the hall.

After getting tired of it for a while, Shen Dongqing took out the reward for this game dungeon, two key fragments.

"That's too petty!" he complained.

Zhou Wenyan kissed him on the cheek reassuringly, and mentioned another matter: "Since we already know the whereabouts of the ghost city, should we wait for the ghost city to open, or go play around in the dungeon again?"

Shen Dongqing tilted her head and leaned on Zhou Wenyan's shoulder, moving her feet restlessly, and said casually: "I have a hunch that when the ghost city opens, we can go in no matter where we are, so we'd better go Let's play!"

Zhou Wenyan had no objection, he pressed Shen Dongqing's fidgeting hand, and said in a meaningful voice, "Okay, let's go do some business first."

He directly hugged Shen Dongqing by the waist, and walked steadily towards the bedroom.

Originally, Zhou Wenyan was going to do some serious business first, and after he was done, he would use the black leather book and randomly take out a copy token.But before reaching the door of the bedroom, the sound of the game echoed.

[BUG in the B-level dungeon, the dungeon has been opened and cannot be intervened]

[Please ask players Zhou Wenyan and Shen Dongqing to go to the B-level dungeon to eliminate the bug]

The last word fell, and the two disappeared in place.

This is an emergency call.

Due to the fairness principle of the game, when a game is started, the game system will not be able to enter it. When there is a game failure, other players can only be allowed to enter it to eliminate the BUG.

It was because of this game glitch that Zhou Wenyan was able to meet Shen Dongqing again.

But...that was artificially created.

"what--"

"who are you?"

"Why did it suddenly appear here?"

Among a group of players, two people suddenly appeared out of thin air.Their posture is also very strange, one person is curled up in another person's arms.

Shen Dongqing jumped out of Zhou Wenyan's arms and landed on the ground with a blank face: "Where is this?"

Zhou Wenyan tidied up the messy corners of his clothes, and said, "B-level dungeon, what kind of dungeon is this?"

The appearance of these two people was too strange, which aroused the suspicion of other players. They looked at each other, and a bolder girl stood up.

"who are you?"

Zhou Wenyan lowered his eyelids, and said lazily, "Player, here to clean up the mess."

The girl who asked the question just now was a girl wearing a plaid skirt, and she had never encountered such a situation before, but seeing Zhou Wenyan's appearance and not wanting to be fake, she dubiously informed the situation of the game dungeon.

The game dungeon is called Time Train, and it is a B-level dungeon. It seems to be fun for Zhou Wenyan and Shen Dongqing, but it will kill other players if they are a little careless.

The scope of the copy is on a train, and the introduction is also very simple, just get off at the correct station.

Plaid skirt said: "But we have been waiting for more than an hour, and this car never stopped."

Zhou Wenyan: "Something went wrong."

Other players remain skeptical: "Can the game also malfunction?"

Shen Dongqing nodded: "It's not professional at all. It's free to bring us here to repair it. It's too black-hearted."

The other players were stunned for a while, this... isn't the direction of complaint wrong?

Zhou Wenyan asked directly: "Where is the main control room of the train?"

Plaid skirt: "...We haven't been there either."

The players stayed in this carriage as soon as they arrived, because nothing happened here and it was safe, so they were not in a hurry to get out and waited for the train to stop.

I didn't expect that the train would run for more than an hour without stopping.

The plaid skirt had opened the doors of other carriages, but she always felt that the other carriages were strange, so she retreated back.

Zhou Wenyan didn't care much about the other players either. After all, they didn't come here to bring vegetables, but to eliminate game glitches, so he ignored them and directly opened the doors leading to other cars.

"Wait!" A boy wearing a peaked cap among the players said, "If you can be selected by the game to eliminate the fault, you must be very good players. Can you guide us?"

Zhou Wenyan: "No."

The smile on the peaked cap's face stagnated: "Why?"

Normally, Zhou Wenyan would just take it with him, but when he was about to do business, he was cut off by the game, and he was in a bad mood, so naturally he wouldn't come to be the Holy Mother.

He didn't bother to explain, took Shen Dongqing's hand and walked out.

A lowered voice came from the back: "Why are you pretending to be cowardly? You even said it was to eliminate the fault, maybe it's nonsense and deceitful, bah——Fucking gay."

Shen Dongqing turned her head and asked sincerely, "What do you mean?"

The peaked cap didn't expect them to hear it, and said in a panic: "You are all hugging together, isn't it, isn't it..." In the end, he still didn't dare to say those three words face to face.

Shen Dongqing gave a flat "Oh", and corrected: "That's not a dead gay, we are all alive, it should be a living gay."

He is very sensitive to "death" and "live", and he must correct his mistakes.

Other players: ...

The peaked cap thought that these two people were going to turn around to settle accounts with him, but he didn't expect it to be so easy to talk. He said it emotionally just now, but now he immediately admitted his cowardice, and laughed dryly: "Yes, yes..."

Just after such a delay, Plaid Skirt figured it out, and went up and said, "Can I follow you?"

Shen Dongqing: "Why not? The road is so wide—" He even stretched out his hand to gesture.

After getting approval, the plaid skirt quickly followed.

When the other players saw it, they all followed suit. Only the peaked cap hesitated for a moment, and could only follow suit.

Zhou Wenyan and Shen Dongqing were followed by a group of little tails.

The train was moving fast, probably in the tunnel now, it was pitch black outside, and nothing could be seen.

It was the first time for Shen Dongqing to take this kind of transportation, and she was quite curious, looking around.

"What is this?" Shen Dongqing pulled out a newspaper from behind a seat.

There are a few messy words written on the old newspaper-get out of the car!

The font was dark red, as if the blood had dried up.

Shen Dongqing glanced at the closed car door: "You can't get out of the car now." He casually dropped the newspaper.

The newspaper fluttered lightly and fell under the chair, and there seemed to be something curled up underneath.

Shen Dongqing squatted down, took a look inside, and met a pair of dead white eyes.

There was a woman huddled under the chair, she looked like she was a train attendant, her face was slashed countless times, and only one pair of eyes could still see clearly.

Shen Dongqing and her stared at each other silently for a while.

From the woman's eyes, it seems that she is asking: Why don't you run away?Still not afraid?

Shen Dongqing raised her head: "There are staff! You can ask her where the main control room is!"

The players following behind quickly asked, "Where is it?"

Shen Dongqing stretched out her hand under the chair, and directly pulled the flight attendant out.

The players stared at him closely, trying to find the staff to ask about the train.

In the end...the staff were there, but it was already cold, and it seemed that they couldn't ask anything.

Fortunately, all the players present had experienced a few games, and they were not frightened to run around, but they couldn't help but stiffen and feel a chill on their backs.

The voice of the plaid skirt was a little trembling: "This..."

I can't ask this.
