Chapter 359: Interview with the World Tree (Part 2)

In the top floor office of the Capitol, Lin An was observing every face in the [Atrium] through the display screen in front of him.

Most of them were local residents of the capital Kinshasa and surrounding towns, and a small number were foreigners who fled to Bantu from Ivory Coast by boat.

The three applicants just experienced the second subdivision of the job fair. The mysterious person from the World Tree simply divided the more than 500 people who entered the job fair through the privileged channel into three categories: ordinary people, mysterious people, and those who are about to awaken.

Among them, the number of ordinary people was only about 70%, the number of mysterious people was about 10%, and the number of those who are about to awaken reached a surprising 80.

Only the last category of people was brought to the atrium, and the first two categories entered different channels respectively.

Ordinary people were reviewed by Meyer, and all mysterious people were handed over to the instructor department of Misuru for training - they did not have the saying of "failed the interview".

As for those who are about to awaken, Lin An decided to take the 100 questions of the personality test of the Saint Anilof Foundation to roughly estimate the spiritual medium tendency of these people, and then use the [Edit] function of the mysterious tree diagram to assist them in awakening.

With the battle with the [tyrant] of Nanzhou approaching, Lin An not only needs to improve the fusion degree of the "Lantern Goddess", but also needs to collect more functional items and media.

The chakra limit expands over time, which not only means an increase in the number of mystics, but also means that the upper limit of the radiation value will be further increased.

Lin An vaguely sensed that when the mysterious tree diagram diverged, the third [button] had a faint sign of unlocking.

After taking a sip of the coffee at hand, he turned his attention back to the applicants in the atrium.

The competition for personnel in this job fair was quite fierce. Lin An estimated that more than a thousand people who were about to awaken would be selected in the end, but the items limited him to only picking out forty or fifty of them for [editing].

In other words, Lin An will select about 40 elites from this group of people, and their starting point is the disaster-level prototype.

If nothing unexpected happens, this group of people will be the core members of the first batch of the World Tree code-named Scout Scouts.

The remaining mystics will be assigned to the code-named Firewatch firefighters unless they perform outstandingly in the future.

Looking around at the candidates answering the questions through the electronic eyes, Lin An initially has a candidate.

Dreadlocks, tattoos, nose studs, and backwards caps, where did this rapper come from?

I don't want to listen to the "believers" singing the words "Lantern Goddess" with a freestyle...

Lin An silently opened their calculation results. Very good, they are "God of Farming" and "Lord of the Earth", the two least outstanding media, and silently lowered their recruitment priority.

The rest, such as those who hold grass in their mouths, chew grass, and have things stuck in their arms, were also disqualified. After these mentally unstable people awaken, if there is no external intervention, the pollution level will soar rapidly.

There is no internship period in the World Tree. Lin An just hopes that the employees he has spent his energy to cultivate can survive for three months.

It sounds cruel, but he does not have the energy, resources and manpower to provide one-on-one guidance and monitoring. Among this group of new mysterious people, there will definitely be some who die or go crazy due to the radiation of "Comos" and have to be "dealt with".

However, compared to the unguided free men, joining the World Tree can obviously significantly increase the survival rate, which is why so many mysterious people come to apply.

While observing, Lin An picked up the files sorted by the civil service department and removed some applicants under the age of 18.

Although the rich imagination of underage mysterious people will make them gain the powerful favor of "Comos", the fluctuating emotions of teenagers and even children are quite dangerous and cannot stably control the mystery.

Again, Lin An hopes that his employees will survive for more than three months.

When he turned to a file, Lin An's movements paused slightly.

Kantubi Kang Nehru, male, 48 years old, veteran.

He picked up the file, turned his electronic eyes, and faced it with a childish, strong boy who looked at most twelve or thirteen years old, with a twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Brother, can we use a little logic when we lie about our identities.

You are performing a skit here for me!

Just when he was about to cross out the boy's quota, Lin An glanced at his test results. Surprisingly, "Judge" had the highest proportion of 45%, followed by "Seeker of Knowledge" with 14%.

It was rare to find a candidate who was suitable for the "Mishnah" series. He hesitated for a moment and put the boy's file in the "pending" pile.

If the "Judge" quota is not full after the job fair, the boy will be able to obtain the core qualification.

Lin An happened to notice the boy and found that there were two outstanding applicants standing in the area where he was in the electronic eye. He found their files according to their characteristics.

Kofi Serge, 35 years old, a native of Kinshasa, unemployed vagrant.

Although this person filled out the file like this, Lin An looked at his decent and bright pink suit and the flannel round hat that looked quite expensive, and a word flashed in his mind.

Sape, also known as the Sapeur, comes from the French word se saper, which means a dresser with taste, and also refers to the abbreviation of this group, La Société des Ambianceurs et des Personnes légantes.

The history of the Sapur people can be traced back to the 19th century. The Pigeon people provided obsolete second-hand clothes to Nanzhou as a bargaining tool to educate the Bantu people and make them consider themselves second-class humans.

In response, a group of people rose up in anger. They refused to wear the low-quality shirts distributed for free, and spent a lot of money to buy customized clothes from various channels. They dressed up well and went to various public places to set an example and resist this brainwashing method.

The Sapp culture is centered on respect, peace, integrity and honor. Not only does it wear beautiful clothes, they believe that not using violence, behaving appropriately, being optimistic and cheerful, full of dreams, and compassionate are the basic standards that define a person as a human being.

Although the people of Sapur wear expensive clothes, most of them are extremely poor, just a group of taxi drivers, farmers, carpenters, and even homeless people.

The Sapor people may one day starve to death in the stinky ditches, and they will definitely be well-dressed when they die.

Lin An had heard about this South Asian subculture full of rebellious spirit, but he didn't expect to see a real Sapp in person at the job fair.

"The medium tendency of the gods is 58% for 'visionary' and 11% for 'prophet'... He is really the same on the outside and a complete idealist."

Lin An left his file and turned to the Sapor man's side.

This is a girl with short flaxen curly hair, about twenty years old, wearing dirty, wrinkled and aggressive clothes, but judging from the material, they were once worth a lot of money.

Mel Ashley, a journalism student from Glasgow, was stranded in a Bantu country due to war not long ago.

The test results show that her "God of Farming" tendency is the highest, followed by "Natural Sacrifice". She is a relatively ordinary ordinary person.

Lin An values ​​her because she has a stable spirit.

Previously, seven to eight hundred expatriates were transported from the Ivory Coast, all of whom were highly educated. He originally expected these talents to help him build the country. Unfortunately, after two weeks in Bantu, the civil service department reported that many people began to Become crazy.

They clamored to see a psychiatrist, saying that they had fallen into despair with no future and had signs of depression.

When World Tree employees arrived, it was said that several expatriates were pushed to the ground by the Bantu people, and several kind-hearted goddesses were singing and dancing to "exorcise evil spirits" from them.

World Tree employees quickly protected them and escorted them back to the property where Tshisekedi stayed, which was their temporary dormitory.

After all, they are rare and highly educated people. Lin An gave these expatriates enough time to rest and relax. However, if they did not start work within a month, he was ready to kick them out and wish themselves a better life.

People come out of the shadows at different speeds, and civilians have observed that Mel Ashley is among the quickest to recover.

After about a week, she had a plan for a new life: save money and then find a way to return to her hometown.

For money, she taught herself French, walked around the streets, collected all the information about this job fair, and applied for a "privileged channel" that not many people knew about, which shows that she not only has excellent psychological quality, but also has strong execution ability.

Pulling out her file and stacking it on the Sapor, Lin An's mind sounded a system notification.

"You received a message from Ranger_7. Do you want to check the user's situation immediately?"

Ranger_7 is Fu Bin, the only ranger currently present at the [Atrium]. Lin An checked his message.

"Forest ranger, this group of people have basically handed in their papers. A few of them who have nothing to do are whispering. Do you need me to give you a few words of help in a pretentious manner?"

"No, I'm going to play that video on the big screen." Lin An replied, "Just follow my instructions and record your feelings about watching the movie and the reactions of this group of applicants."

"clear!"

After getting the answer, Lin An took a deep breath, scrolled the touch screen at the end of the keyboard to open the console, quickly ran through a line of code with his fingers, and pressed the Enter key.

Everyone saw a chaotic, cosmic star-studded big screen that began to undergo strange changes.

In the initial stage, it seemed that the green codes gradually condensed, and after a few seconds they condensed into a dense 3D outline with clearer outlines.

As the code modeling was improved step by step, the figure in the center became clearer and clearer. It was a bust of a person. He had no hair or iconic features. The facial features of ordinary people took on physical form with the flashing code.

When the bust makes an expression, the code flows like muscle tissue, shimmering brightly.

Its shape is spread out on the huge dome, which is more than ten meters long and eight or nine meters wide. Its nose alone is the size of a normal person. The suffocating pressure makes many people pale.

The applicants were stunned, their mouths opened unconsciously, and the light flowed from the dome screen into the depths of their pupils, reflecting countless small electronic figures.

The electronic sound that guided them through the test sounded in the form of 3D surround sound, and the giant figure on the big screen raised the muscles at the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"Hello, world." (End of chapter)
