Chapter 55 Do you want power? Do you want to truly live?
After getting off the bus and weaving through the bustling traffic and crowds, Lin Fan finally returned home.
Qin Fang was very surprised... He hadn't expected them to be neighbors?
Lin Fan also lives in a shantytown.
He saw Lin Fan walk into a small, ruined building, and his and Qin Xiaoyou's current home was only a few streets away.
Then Qin Fang stroked his chin and pondered... Should he go directly to him, or should he also send an invitation?
Qin Fang wouldn't have gone to look for it personally before, but now that he has the Liar's Mask, there's no problem; his true identity and appearance won't be exposed.
Finding a supplier directly is naturally more cost-effective.
After all, an interview invitation requires 20 company reputation points.
Corporate reputation is still quite valuable.
but……
Using an invitation also has its advantages...
That is, there is a 5% probability of triggering the initial rank of the signing employee as rank 1.
Qin Fang has only signed an employee agreement once in that interview room so far, but it hasn't triggered anything.
He was actually very curious.
Moreover, starting at level 1 saves employees a lot of upgrade time.
Based on the leveling speed of epic classes... it takes at least five or six days.
Although it sounds like only a few days, it's not much.
But this is tantamount to directly helping employees get through the most vulnerable stage.
With only 20 corporate reputation points, taking a gamble doesn't seem so unacceptable.
After much deliberation, Qin Fang decided...
Invitation letter.
Then he started to think about it, and the invitation to Lin Fan... definitely had to be different from the one for Gu Yiyun.
A moment later, he had an idea, grinned, and used his corporate reputation to create an invitation...
...
Lin Fan's home can be described as bare.
A dilapidated sofa, scattered and worn-out furniture, and nothing else.
When Lin Fan got home, he didn't turn on the lights. He simply threw himself onto the tattered sofa. The long-term lack of sunlight and dampness made the sofa smell musty. He stared blankly at the ceiling, his gaze numb, his whole being enveloped in darkness.
The crimson moonlight shone through the window lattice. He shifted his gaze, staring blankly at the crimson moon, and then he could see a family photo on the old coffee table next to the sofa.
Inside was a young couple, surrounding a smiling seven or eight-year-old boy.
The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was elegant and beautiful. They smiled gently and looked at the seven or eight-year-old boy in the middle with doting eyes.
The boy was laughing very happily.
The sun was shining brightly that day, casting a golden glow on the three of them.
The photo, however, appears to be quite old and has turned slightly yellowed.
Lin Fan stared at the moonlight for a while, then turned around and saw the photo on the coffee table. He subconsciously reached out and picked it up, then ran his fingers over the photo.
At this moment, an intense loneliness and sorrow surged up for no reason, causing Lin Fan's nose to sting and an indescribable sense of grievance to overwhelm him, causing him to burst into tears.
He trembled all over and wept silently.
"Dad, Mom..."
This was the first time he had cried since his parents passed away.
Even the crying is silent.
'Thump, thump, thump...'
Suddenly, a crisp, rhythmic knock shattered the heavy atmosphere of sorrow and loneliness in the room, instantly pulling Lin Fan back to reality.
He looked up blankly at the doorway.
After a moment of silence, three knocks sounded on the door again.
He was certain that they were knocking on his door.
But who could it be?
Since awakening to a non-combat profession three months ago and being forced to move here, he has had almost no interpersonal interactions.
Several girls in the restaurant looked at him with interest, but he didn't reveal his address.
Could it be...?
Han Li and the others?
Thinking of what happened during the day, Lin Fan almost instantly made this connection.
Then, intense anger surged in his eyes. He stood up, wiped away his tears, pursed his lips, gritted his teeth, and strode toward the door.
There's no escaping it.
Firstly, this house has no back door.
Secondly... he didn't want to escape!
He wanted to see what Han Li and his group were really up to!
He had already retreated once during the day and endured their insults. This time, he would not tolerate it again.
At worst, I'll just die!
He gripped the doorknob, spun it, and yanked the door open!
...
Upon hearing footsteps, Qin Fang stealthily retreated.
Shortly after, he saw the door suddenly pulled open, and the young Lin Fan, with red eyes and a fierce expression, looked outside.
But when he saw the empty gate, he was clearly stunned for a moment.
Then he looked around with some confusion and bewilderment.
At one point, he subconsciously looked down and suddenly stopped.
He saw a letter right at his feet.
The letter was written in large characters, with four big characters.
The inscription "To be opened by Lin Fan" was clearly visible even under the crimson moonlight.
Lin Fan clearly showed surprise and confusion.
To be opened by Lin Fan?
...Who wrote him the letter?
He turned his head and looked around, his mind suddenly filled with many thoughts.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally pursed his lips and picked up the envelope.
He glanced at the envelope, remained silent for a moment, then turned and went back into the house.
Seeing Lin Fan pick up the envelope, Qin Fang smiled and turned to leave.
Great, as long as the invitation reaches the other party, that's fine.
He scheduled the interview for an hour later... If all goes well, I'll be the third-best candidate today!
"It cost me an extra 20 Enterprise reputation... Hopefully I can go straight to Tier 1."
Qin Fang thought to himself.
However, he didn't have much hope, since a 5% probability was still too low.
He was almost home when he turned and left.
...
At the same time, several figures were heading towards the shantytown.
They were dressed in gear and looked like professionals.
It was late at night, but there were still some people walking around in the shantytown. However, when they saw these people, their expressions changed slightly, and they subconsciously made way for them...
You can tell from their attire that they are professionals.
The expression on the man's face was frightening; he was clearly in a bad mood.
Most of the residents in the shantytowns are ordinary people, so they naturally dare not provoke the professionals.
"Brother Li, are you sure Lin, the top student, is staying here right now?"
Looking at the dirty and chaotic neighborhood, the ordinary people with their faces covered in dirt and their expressions restrained, one of the professionals hesitated and asked.
"There's no mistake, Lin Fan hooked up with that guy's girlfriend. He's been wanting to teach him a lesson for a long time. He came to us today on his own initiative, so there's no reason for him to play games with us... I doubt he would dare."
Li Ge's expression was indifferent.
"So... we'll just teach him a lesson later, right?" a boy asked hesitantly.
Li Ge suddenly turned his head to look at him, which startled the man, who instinctively shrank his neck.
Then Li Ge snorted coldly and turned back around.
“How do you teach him a lesson? He’s a professional now… although just an ordinary professional, his body is also energy-based, so hitting him won’t hurt.”
"Because of him, I lost face so badly today. Should I teach him a lesson?"
Li Ge's smile turned cruel, his eyes turning ferocious: "I want him dead!"
The boys around him were stunned, exchanging bewildered glances, but in the end, they didn't dare say anything and silently followed Li Ge.
Not long after, Li Ge looked at a small building in the distance that looked like ruins.
"arrive."
He squinted as he looked at the small building.
...
Meanwhile, Lin Fan returned to the house and opened the envelope.
Whatever he saw made him freeze in place...
This is a black invitation, made of some unknown material, but it is clearly a copy. The black invitation seems to absorb all light sources, and it has exquisite patterns that emit a golden mist, making it look very mysterious!
Most importantly, it says the word 'Paradise' on it!
He was naturally familiar with Paradise... He worked at the small restaurant in the Undead Mountain instance, and in the past two days, he had heard of it extensively.
Of course, none of that matters. What matters is that when he instinctively opened the invitation in astonishment and confusion, his expression froze, and he stared intently at the line of text on it.
Do you want power? Do you want to truly live?
The short line of text seemed to possess immense magic, captivating his gaze and preventing him from looking away!
