Bai Liu calmly fooled the curious factory worker: "I have special processing skills."

The factory workers looked at "her" doubtfully. Processing dried rose leaves is a physically demanding job, and children have no advantage in this kind of work, let alone such a high output rate.

Bai Liu pretended to be anxious and glanced at the two members of the King's Guild below.

Now the factory worker understood - it must be the two people below who helped the little girl and gave her their roses.

Although processors are not allowed to steal from each other openly, they can steal secretly, with one party "voluntarily" giving the fruits of their labor to the other party. In various senses, the review of processors' promotion to factory workers is not completely fair.

Factory workers who were promoted from processors are well aware of these unspoken rules and are not prepared to pursue them too much.

Although it is unclear what methods the little girl used, or what kind of relatives the other two processors were to make them take the initiative to give her the dried roses, but things have developed to this point, and these regular factory workers who already have stable positions and will not easily be resigned are not prepared to make things difficult for these processors who are working hard to climb up.

After all, the competition between them is not that fierce.

"Processor No. 71063 handed in 302.7kg of semi-finished dried rose leaves."

The factory worker next to him lowered his head and wrote down Bai Liu's number, waved his hand to let him go, and let him go without turning a blind eye.

Most of the other processors' dried rose leaf weights were below 250kg, and only a few exceeded 280kg.

Bai Liu, Liu Ji, and Tang Erda are the only three processors who have provided dried roses weighing more than 300kg.

The weighing was completed quickly. While the factory workers were checking the data, Liu Ji pulled Bai Liu and stood out silently, away from the processors who were looking at them with hatred.

A vacuum circle was formed around Tang Erda. The workers around him looked at Tang Erda, who was more than a head taller than them, with hatred, but they did not dare to go up to the new worker who was full of murderous aura and looked not easy to mess with. Instead, they took two steps back before glaring at Tang Erda viciously.

These three newcomers actually directly grabbed the opportunity to be promoted to factory workers!

After checking the data, the factory workers looked up and said, "Please ask the following three processors to come with us."

"Number 71063... The three workers with these numbers will be led by our three factory workers to the next workshop to learn about the daily work of factory workers. But please note that this does not mean that you have the qualifications to become factory workers."

The leading factory worker said sternly: "This is just an opportunity for you. You still have a long way to go before you can become a formal factory worker."

After saying that, he turned around and waved to Bai Liu: "Come with me."

Bai Liu walked up, Liu Ji looked at him worriedly, and left with a factory worker.

Tang Erda left with another factory worker. Before leaving, he turned back and stared deeply at Liu Jiayi's back.

He felt a very familiar and unpleasant feeling from Liu Jiayi today.

Bai Liu was led by the factory workers through a deep, narrow corridor with a very high ceiling. On both sides of the corridor were the large dome-shaped rooms where they slept last night. The doors were all closed, preventing any light from penetrating into the corridor.

The strange thing was that in this corridor where only two people were walking, there were constant strange sounds of hurried footsteps. The doors on both sides creaked, and it seemed as if something was staring at their feet in the gap between the doors.

The factory worker walking in front turned pale. He seemed to have heard the sound as well and involuntarily quickened his pace.

Bai Liu was not panicked. He knew that as long as he closed his right eye, he could see a completely different real world.

But there is no need now. Although he already has the "key" to travel freely in the [inner world], he enters the [inner world] to obtain more information, and right now, there is obviously more important information waiting for him to obtain.

Bai Liu looked at the hurried factory worker and asked politely, "Excuse me, if I want to become a formal factory worker, what should I do?"

The factory worker who seemed to be frightened by the noises came back to his senses after Bai Liu's words, and replied with a softer expression, "We will provide some processors with outstanding performance with the opportunity to be promoted to factory workers, but not everyone can seize this opportunity - only those with certain innate qualities can be selected as factory workers."

Bai Liu turned his head and asked: "For example, what kind of characteristics?"

"The characteristics of a perfumer." The factory worker replied softly, "The reason why the factory workers selected by the Rose Factory are regular employees who do not have to leave their posts is because we are all reserve perfumers. Perfumers are a short-lived profession. If we don't select reserve candidates in advance, there will be a gap in the supply, and the factory will not be able to continue operating."

"So the factory worker's nickname is perfumer apprentice." The factory worker continued, with a complicated expression, "Before becoming a formal perfumer, we are responsible for basic operations such as distillation, extraction, purification and concentration. After becoming a perfumer, we can truly produce the rose stem gas perfume for the factory."

"Most perfumers can only make low-grade perfumes throughout their lives. The blending process of mid-grade perfumes is already very complicated, and the production quantity is small. A drop of it is worth a fortune. High-grade perfumes are not sold now, and are only provided to certain special customers. As for premium perfumes--"

The factory worker turned to look at Bai Liu and said, "It will only be auctioned at the Rose Festival in May every year. The highest bidder wins."

"Then how do you screen whether a person has the qualities of a perfumer?" Bai Liu asked. He thought about the requirements for the profession of perfumer in the real world. "Is it the sensitivity of smell?"

As he spoke, he began to replace the panels.

[System prompt: Did the player Bai Liu use the player Mu Sicheng's soul coin to cut into the opponent's system panel? ]

【Sure.】

If Bai Liu remembered correctly, this guy Mu Sicheng had an extremely sensitive sense of smell.

However, even with an excellent sense of smell, Bai Liu cannot distinguish the specific types of too many spices. But this level of the game should simply be to screen certain characteristics - otherwise, except for professional perfumers, no ordinary player can pass it.

This game has lost its playability.

Although there is no basis for this, Bai Liu feels that the game designer behind the system would not like such a game that is not playable.

"We don't select processors based on a simple sensory trait like smell," the worker shook his head. "We select based on a very important perfumery instrument."

Instrument?

This was the first time Bai Liu heard that an instrument could detect the characteristics of a perfumer.

In his impression, most of the perfumery instruments are used for stirring and mixing, such as pipettes, pads, and perfume test papers. Many of them are relatively simple and old-fashioned, without any technical content, and there are only a few modern instruments.

In this gaming world where technology is visibly backward in every aspect, how could such an instrument actually exist?

But when Bai Liu continued to ask questions, the factory worker was unwilling to answer questions related to the instrument.

Whenever Bai Liu tried to talk about this instrument in a roundabout way, the factory worker would show an expression of fear and awe on his face.

He finally said in a very cautious manner: "No, it is not any instrument you can imagine. It is an instrument that came from a dead person, but it is indeed a living instrument. It even has a heartbeat!"

"It's this zombie-like device that's selecting the people who can use it."

After this sentence, the factory worker never spoke again.

Silently and with a pale face, he led Bai Liu to a pure white, clean room that looked like an operating room.

The factory worker asked Bai Liu to change into a clean and disinfected protective suit and clean her hands before she could enter the next room for screening.

Led by the factory worker, Bai Liu passed through a purple disinfection room and then several disinfection rooms filled with unknown and unpleasant gases. The factory worker explained that this was to disinfect them before entering the core perfume room. The thick protective clothing that Bai Liu had changed into before could play a simple protective role.

These rooms are being used to disinfect living people in a rough and direct manner using the same method used to disinfect objects, without caring at all whether they will die from being unable to withstand the intensity of the disinfection. This shows that the builders of the Rose Factory feel that the instrument that can test the qualities of perfumers is much more important than their lives.

After passing through three or four rooms, Bai Liu was finally led to a square, tightly closed, metal-casting room.

At this time, Bai Liu's eyes changed for the first time after entering this dangerous factory. He raised his head and scanned the door of the room from top to bottom.

——The folding fan is completely closed, the extremely tall door is exactly the same as the door numbered [0001] of the Dangerous Heresy Processing Bureau, even the small window that was forcibly welded in the upper part of the door is the same.

The factory worker knocked twice on the small window, and someone inside knocked twice back.

The factory worker bowed his head respectfully and whispered to the person at the door, "I'm taking the newcomers to undergo [its] screening."

There was silence inside for a while, and then the extremely heavy door, full of welding scars, slowly opened inward.

The moment Bai Liu saw the scene clearly, his pupils shrank slightly.
