Chapter 97: No Gods, No Choice! The Fourth Potential Employee Appears!

Putting everything else aside, the professional rank alone was completely beyond his comprehension.

In his previous understanding, the 'Seven-Colored Deity' was the highest level.

But now it seems...

Obviously not!

After the gods, there is the ultimate; above the ultimate, there is the end; above the end… there is mythology!

This made Qin Fang gasp in shock.

Damn, all of his current employees are 'epic'!

I thought I was strong enough.

But in this 'headhunting firm's' reports, 'Epic' is the lowest level!

And most importantly... even this lowest-level 'epic' class has made Qin Fang incredibly strong.

This is the most terrifying 'myth' level...

Qin Fang stared blankly.

His imagination, which wasn't exactly barren... was already almost beyond imagination.

So, wouldn't level 0 instantly kill everything?!

Thinking of this, Qin Fang swallowed hard, a surge of curiosity returning...

How much corporate prestige is needed to recruit each of these employees?

Driven by curiosity, he first chose 'Epic'...

[Designated talent has 'Epic' potential... 'Epic' potential is the lowest potential, and no additional fees will be charged.]

Upon seeing the notification, Qin Fang paused for a moment, then let out a long breath...

You've got some conscience at least. If I specifically asked for an 'Epic' item and you still wanted to pay extra, I'd give you a 1-star review!

Then he chose 'Legend'!

[Selecting 'Legendary' potential requires an additional fee of +1000 Corporate Reputation...]

Is 1,000 reputation points worth it?

Hmm, it's a bit expensive.

But it seems like it's worth the price?

And... what about the gods?

He pointed to the gods.

[The amusement park owner's race has not yet produced any deities; those at the 'deity' level or higher are temporarily unavailable.]

Unexpectedly, this prompt appeared.

Then, 'Gods' and the following options all turned red and became unselectable.

Qin Fang was somewhat stunned...

No deities appeared?

So, none of the above options are available?

It's just a simple piece of text, but it seems to convey a very terrifying message...

He thought to himself, but in the end he let out a sigh and chose random.

[Choose random; no extra charge.]

[Question 3: Would you prefer your employees to be far or near from you?]

[Near/Far/Random]

...

Qin Fang chose 'near', which would cost an extra 1,000 reputation points. Choosing 'far'... would also cost an extra 1,000 reputation points.

He fell silent... Good heavens, it seems that choosing this option requires paying extra corporate reputation.

The worst part is that it's ridiculously expensive!

...As expected of a high-end headhunting company.

You're ruthless!

He thought angrily.

...

[Question 4: What do you expect your employees to look like?]

[Neat features/Appreciable appearance/Exceptional beauty/More (gender selection required)/Random]

...

[Question 5: What kind of talent are you looking to recruit as new employees?]

[Melee/Tank/Mage/Assassin/Priest/Healer/.../Random]

...

This single choice presented a multitude of options, a whole row of nearly a hundred professions.

Melee mages and ranged tanks have all started to appear.

Similarly, choosing either option will cost an additional 1,000 reputation points.

Qin Fang finally shed tears of poverty and chose to go with the flow, leaving everything to fate.

Indeed, there is only one disease in this world...

We're just poor!

...

[Question 6: What recruitment method do you prefer?]

[Recruitment assistance from headhunting firms/Company interview invitations/Self-service on-site visits]

...

The problem isn't random, but rather something you choose yourself?

Recalling the strong recommendation on the panel, he tried selecting the 'Company Interview Invitation' option.

[By selecting 'Company Interview Invitation Letter,' our company will deliver your company's invitation letter to the invitee. However, we are not responsible for whether the invitee accepts the invitation. The delivery fee is 100 company reputation points. Please prepare the invitation letter yourself.]

...

Upon seeing this line of text, Qin Fang let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the cost of advertising was much lower than he expected... only 100...

It's still within his tolerance range.

Scrolling down further, I found that I had reached the end, with only one 'Submit' option.

Qin Fang read through the entire document to make sure he hadn't chosen any option that would wipe out all his company's reputation, and then selected 'Submit'.

A message appeared on the panel with the words "Delivering Mail" displayed.

Not long after...

Delivery successful

Please confirm the requirements and costs for this recruitment.

[The gender, potential rank, appearance, distance, and career direction of the employees you are recruiting are all 'random'. The recruitment method is 'headhunting company submitting interview invitations to your company'.]

[The additional fee for this recruitment is 100 Corporate Reputation. The base recruitment fee is 100 Corporate Reputation. The total fee is 200 Corporate Reputation. The recruitment period is 24 hours. The results will be communicated to your company after 24 hours. Do you confirm and wish to begin implementing this agreement?]

...

These words left Qin Fang completely stunned...

Then his expression became somewhat strange.

Is this really his professional skill?

It feels like you're actually contacting a headhunting firm.

Could it be...?

Is there really such a headhunting company somewhere?

He scratched his head, then hesitated a little.

It's not that I'm hesitant about anything else... but rather...

His current corporate reputation is over a thousand.

According to the description above, recruiting a legendary class only requires 1200 corporate reputation!

Should we wait a few more days and directly recruit a legendary professional...?

still……

Qin Fang looked at the panel, but soon he understood.

There's absolutely no need for that.

After all, the headhunting firm has a 7-day cooling-off period.

Even if he spends 200 corporate reputation to recruit now, given his passive nature, he can make up for it in just four days.

Seven days later... it seems like we'll be able to recruit the Legendary!

Conversely, if we don't recruit now and wait another two or three days... it will actually take even longer in the end.

Yes, the sooner you use it, the sooner you'll get a CD!

Epics, legends... he wants them all!

He took a deep breath: "I'm sure!"

Another delivery icon appears.

A moment later.

[The headhunting firm is currently searching for recruitment targets. Countdown: 11:59:59...]

With the reputation of two hundred companies vanished, Qin Fang let out a long sigh of relief.

Looking at the countdown...

Now, we just have to wait and see the results.

...

After closing the control panel, Qin Fang looked at the Gulu Cave in front of him, let out a soft breath, and continued forward.

Let's take a break after this round of killing.

Reaching level 10 and successfully acquiring the professional skill temporarily diminished his motivation to level up.

After all... it will probably take quite a while to reach level 20.

This fourth professional skill is indeed something he really wants.

But he wanted something even more...

That's the skill of contacting his employees!

Otherwise, many things would be difficult to plan now.

...I hope the fifth professional skill is communication with employees?

He sighed and continued upgrading.

...

In the blink of an eye, a day and a night had passed.

bite!

The talent you requested has been found, and their information has been sent. Please check your inbox. Recruitment can be arranged at any time.

Qin Fang had just finished checking today's settlement when another notification appeared on the panel.

This immediately caught his eye, and he clicked to view.

When he finished reading the entire description, Qin Fang was stunned.

It was...her?

...

...

The next morning, Qin Fang went out.

He went to the largest market in the area, hailed a van, and bought a large quantity of rice, flour, fruits, vegetables, and other supplies.

After an hour of work, the cart was fully loaded, but it only cost two or three silver coins.

"Young man, where are we going now?"

The driver was also helping out. After getting in the car, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked Qin Fang with a smile.

Qin Fang spent 1 silver coin to hire his carriage for a day. This price was 500 copper coins more than usual.

"Qin Family Welfare Home," Qin Fang said.

The driver paused for a moment, then smiled: "I didn't realize you were such a kind person..."

After he finished speaking, he understood who the goods in the truck were for.

The vehicle started and drove out of the market, heading towards the more remote parts of Tieya City.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at their destination.

This is a small courtyard built halfway up the mountain. Some children are playing at the entrance. A vertical plaque hangs at the entrance of the courtyard, which reads "Qin Family Welfare Home of Tieya City". It looks quite old.

The driver honked the horn a few times, and the children playing at the gate looked up and ran into the orphanage. Some children shouted, "Director Mom, Director Mom, a car is here!"

The driver drove the car into the yard, and Qin got out of the car.

Several children around him looked at him curiously.

Several children were clearly stunned when they saw him.

Qin Fang smiled and beckoned to one of the boys, who looked about ten years old and had a chubby face, but whose right hand was severed at the wrist: "Tiger, come here."

Tiger's eyes lit up immediately, and he ran over quickly.

"It's Brother Fang!"

"Brother is back!"

The other children immediately recognized Qin Fang. The older ones called him "Brother Fang," but some of the younger ones, not quite understanding, watched curiously from the side, sniffling.

Qin Fang greeted the children with a smile.

A wave of tenderness washed over me for no reason.

"Xiao Fang?"

A friendly voice rang out, and Qin Fang turned his head to see a middle-aged woman in her fifties walking over, surrounded by several children.

She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she was very kind and gentle. When she saw Qin Fang, her eyes lit up with surprise.

Qin Fang quickly went to greet her, "Dean Mama..."

"Okay, okay."

Dean Qin smiled happily, patted Qin Fang's hand repeatedly, and then looked behind Qin Fang, but did not see the little tail that always followed Qin Fang.

"Huh? Where's Xiaoyou?"

Qin Fang helped Qin Shi up, "Xiao You has something to do today and can't leave, so she asked me to deliver some things..."

As he spoke, he turned to the driver who had gotten off the bus and said, "Sir, could you please help me out? I'll give you extra money later."

"Hey, it's nothing, just a quick thing, don't talk about money." The driver smiled, opened the trunk, revealing a car full of supplies.

When the dean saw the carload of things, her eyes lit up, then she tugged at Qin Fang reproachfully, "You child, why did you buy so much stuff? We haven't even finished the things Xiaoyou brought last time... You and Xiaoyou don't earn money easily..."

"Not much, these little ones are all growing, they need to eat more to grow taller..."

Qin Fang smiled and patted Hu Zi's head beside him, who grinned foolishly.

"Let's go over and talk, driver. Please excuse us."

Qin Fang helped the hospital director, who had some difficulty walking. Even as an ordinary person, she still suffered from illness.

This chronic leg pain has been recurring for several years now.

When the dean heard Qin Fang say that, she smiled happily: "You child...good, good..."

Qin Fang helped the dean's mother to the bottom of the small building at the back. The dean's mother's office was on the first floor. Hu Zi cleverly ran into the office and laboriously carried out two stools.

The office space is very small, so when people come, they usually sit and chat in the courtyard.

Qin Fang smiled and patted his head, then sat down with the dean and chatted with her at the entrance of the first-floor room.

The dean was clearly very happy about Qin Fang's arrival, and held his hand tightly the whole time.

Many children left the orphanage; some returned occasionally, but most never came back.

Qin Fang and Qin Xiaoyou are among the children who frequently return home after leaving to fend for themselves.

The headmistress chattered on and on about funny things, and every now and then a child would run over to complain, like this one snatched that one's toy, or that one pushed this one...

The headmistress always resolved each issue with a kind smile, without bias.

Qin Fang smiled as he watched this scene, as if he had returned to the days when he lived here.

Time passed slowly, and Qin Fang patiently chatted with the dean.

Then a series of 'tap tap tap' sounds came from afar.

Qin Fang's mind raced, and he looked over.

Approaching was a blind woman with a cane. She was sweet-looking, slender, and had long, straight, jet-black hair; she was very beautiful.

The only regret is that a pair of eyes that should have been bright have no focus.

A girl born blind.

"Sister Yue!"

Several older children quickly ran over and carefully helped her up.

She smiled and let the children lead her toward the building.

And she...

That was precisely Qin Fang's purpose in returning this time.
