My Salvation Game Became true?!.

Chapter 72: Chapter 72 The First Group of Non-staff Personnel
 

“`

Cajoling… Persuading these siblings was simpler than Fang You had imagined.

He hadn’t even mentioned providing food and shelter when the boy in front of him requested to learn the skill of ‘demon-hunting’.

It was all about the timing of his entrance.

“Very good.”

Fang You immediately detected information about the two individuals before him.

Contrary to his expectations, not only was the boy he saw potential in assessed as having green potential, but the slightly timid girl beside him was also assessed as having green potential.

Buy one, get one free.

But as always, potential was just a premise, what mattered more was character, which needed to be examined.

Fang You inquired about some of their basic circumstances.

During this process, he discovered some wonderful uses of the ‘Flamefire Creed,’ which could be used to observe people’s emotions.

To say it made lies transparent would be an overstatement, but it wasn’t far off.

He was very satisfied with the siblings’ current behavior; they had encountered Mysterious Evil, were afraid but had not lost their composure, and even had the desire to fight back desperately. They were materials that could be shaped.

He transferred some money for them to take care of the aftermath, then took out two strings of Buddha Beads for them to wear, and Fang You left.

It was only a slight pinch to his wallet.

The Buddha Beads were no big deal; they were the compensation from the last support operation in Nanjiao given by the investigation bureau.

He had plenty, and he didn’t have a use for them, so giving tenfold wouldn’t have mattered.

As for the money, the siblings’ ordeal was heartbreaking, and all Fang You could do was to give them some, trying to eliminate Mysterious Evil as much as possible.

“The vicinity of Baijiang City already has relatively few Mysterious Evils, yet such tragedies still occur; in places beyond my sight, could there be many more tragedies?”

“I need to extend my reach to other cities quickly.”

“Not just that…”

Eliminating Mysterious Evil, in his view, was treating the symptoms, not the cause. The current world was like being full of holes; Mysterious Evil could breed anywhere.

It wasn’t enough just to eliminate Mysterious Evil; it was also important to plug the gaps.

It’s just that, at present, he hadn’t found a way.

The only clue was the world as seen through An Jianyou’s eyes.

Perhaps once she had her second Awakening, her innate Ability might change?

…

For three consecutive days, he had been busy in Baijiang City, hardly resting at all.

Originally, Fang You wanted to search in schools.

Young people had a higher chance of possessing high potential; they were also more passionate and easier to cajole… Detecting them in high schools or universities could have been three to four times more effective, but it was not feasible.

The schools had been closed.

Some had closed half a month earlier, while others had stopped a few days ago, rendering his plan to select from the student population a massive failure. Fortunately, the ‘Flamefire Creed’ was as reliable as ever, and in three days, Fang You still found nine talents with green potential.

They were between 16 and 32 years old, both men and women, including students and workers from various professions. However, their circumstances differed from those of the siblings Xu Tian and Xu Yun; they didn’t even know about Mysterious Evil, making it not easy to ‘cajole’ them away.

After some contemplation, Fang You did not approach them directly, in fact, he didn’t even show his face.

Instead, he adopted a different approach.

After observing for a while and roughly confirming that there were no issues with their character, he activated Lightless mode and silently left a card with them.

A card branded with his power.

How many he could cajole would depend on fate… destiny’s choice.

“Without a proper entrance, this cajoling is more exhausting than searching.”

“When Flamefire strengthens, I must establish a recruitment department responsible for everything from observation to hiring to assessment.”

He, the Flamefire Instructor, truly wasn’t suited for this!

…

After being busy for three days, Fang You returned to his own house once more, packing away clothes and daily necessities, both big and small.

In reality, the rest area at the base had spare clothes, plentiful in number and superior in quality.

Like the black coat worn by Brother Black Blade; although it wasn’t a leveled piece of equipment, it was comparable to a bulletproof vest.

“`

Each bedroom was equipped with several sets.

Toothbrushes, towels, underwear, and the like were all brand new and unopened.

Whether he moved or not really didn’t matter to him; it was just that Black Pupil, the lazy cat, wanted the computer at home. Fang You really couldn’t stand up to it and had no choice but to agree, going home with it to move things.

Black Pupil: “???”

…

By the time they returned to the Flamefire office in the north part of the city, the place had undergone a major transformation.

Money talks, and considering how many people had lost their jobs at that time, recruiting was too easy.

With An Jianyou’s financial resources, some home furnishings were quickly moved in, and the vacant land outside the building was leveled and renovated, with many new exercise equipment appearing.

The exterior walls were also being constructed to increase their height, presenting a scene bustling with activity.

Fang You nodded slightly.

“Mentor.”

An Jianyou was supervising the work, her pretty face flushed, “This place is still a bit too small, the planned track isn’t up to standard, and it looks a bit shabby.”

It didn’t quite fit the name of their Flamefire.

Especially after seeing the grandeur of their own base, An Jianyou felt even more that this external office was lacking and affecting the image of Flamefire.

Fang You, on the other hand, didn’t mind.

The main reason was his low expectations. Compared to his initial choice of an outdoor location or renting a place, this was already a hundred times better.

“This is just a temporary site for screening reserve personnel; there’s no need to fuss over it.”

“The first group of external personnel will come tomorrow. Black Blade will be training and assessing them. They are not chosen by fate and whether or not they can shoulder the responsibility to face disaster is yet to be seen. You can also impart some experience to them, of course, and don’t neglect your own training. Strength is the fundamental means to deal with Mysterious Evil and disasters.”

“Mm-hmm!”

An Jianyou responded emphatically.

She began to look forward to it, too. Tomorrow, she would meet some new faces, and then, she would be promoted to a senior predecessor, right?

How many people will there be?

She hoped that they would pass the assessment of the mentor, well, the instructor Black Blade.

Thinking of Instructor Black Blade, An Jianyou shivered.

She was one of the chosen ones mentioned by the mentor, didn’t need to undergo an assessment to join, and was truly lucky!

…

At night,

Baijiang City was very quiet, yet it seemed as if there were undercurrents surging in the silence.

Luo Jianxing hiked up his collar, hurrying along, brushing past the occasional passerby on the road, and returned to his rented room, looking exhausted.

“I still couldn’t find a job today.”

“Jobs are becoming increasingly hard to find, and more companies are closing. Something must have happened to this world!”

What had happened was actually of no concern to him.

After all, if he couldn’t find a job soon, he’d have to face the music.

As Luo Jianxing pondered where to search for work the next day, he noticed that a card had somehow appeared on his desk.

A very exquisite card that gave off a faint blue glow under the light.

He was certain it wasn’t his.

What was this? His home hadn’t been burgled, either.

He went over to take a look and suddenly the beautiful card burst into strands of blue light, jumping and outlining like lightning, gradually forming a line of blue text.

‘Do you want to delve into the secrets that lie beneath reality, do you want to make a contribution to this world?’

‘XXX-XXX, here you can find the answers you seek.’

Luo Jianxing was stunned.

Before he could snap back to reality, the blue light in front of him brightened, enveloping the card, and the lightning crackled, turning the beautiful card to ashes.

As if it were all an illusion.
