Chapter 790: Chapter 654 Become the Dominator

Lu Jing looked over the company handbook again. She could now hold two thoughts simultaneously, share two sets of completely opposite principles, and everything was just to prove her innocence in thought.

Entering the testing area, she donned a helmet, received an injection, and then she could only speak the truth from the bottom of her heart.

"Why do civilians harbor anti-company sentiments?"

"Because there is a small group of malicious propagandists," Lu Jing said.

"How should the company deal with organized civilian violence?"

"With mass destruction weapons," Lu Jing said.

"How should suggestions about improving working conditions be handled?"

"Deal with the people making these suggestions," Lu Jing said.

"Has the company’s large-scale industrial production damaged the environment?"

"Future generations are more technologically advanced than us; it’s their job to clean up the pollution," Lu Jing said.

"What are the advantages of a global corporate system?"

"A free market without any constraints. The freer the market, the freer the individual," Lu Jing said.

"What does the Witch mean to the company?"

"Ultimate warfare weapon; cheap labor force; mistresses with the art of eternal youth," Lu Jing said.

"What are the irreplaceable, outstanding contributions of the company?"

"Gacha mobile games, bullet-screen websites, and virtual idols," Lu Jing said.

"Are our company’s interests higher than those of other companies, districts, and populations?"

"Of course," Lu Jing said.

...

After the 30-minute test, Lu Jing stood outside waiting to pick up her notification slip.

Through the one-way glass, she could see the view of Guangnan Prefecture, the very southern end near the tropics, hotter than the Hot Tree Continent in summer and slightly chilly in winter, though not to the point of snowing.

Business operators and affluent residents decorated their terraces and hanging gardens with a plethora of plants and flowers, making Guangnan Prefecture a city of intertwined steel and greenery, the most vibrant corporate metropolis in the Xia District.

High-rise buildings were everywhere in the city center, with the most renowned tech companies and commercial groups in southern Xia constructing their glittering architectural wonders, clustered around shopping plazas, luxury brand apartments, giant office towers, and airborne landing pads.

Rainbow Entertainment, Hidden Dragon Technology, Dragon Prance Group, Zishan Bank, Xihe Pharmaceuticals’ buildings...those who worked there were the respectable and successful members of society. Lu Jing leaned on the windowsill, resting her chin on her hands, gazing into the distance at the glittering brand names of the business conglomerates. But working there was still not enough; they were just experienced practitioners, mid-level managers. The real rich didn’t work in such places.

But what are the real rich? Those great wealthy ones who can make dissenters vanish, change news report contents, build their own private armies, take multiple wives and concubines, and have numerous children.

But they still carefully concealed their lives of opulence and extravagance, staying as low-profile as possible to avoid breaking the hearts of ordinary people.

And they were nowhere close to Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing, nor could they compare to the real giant corporations, the ultimate assembly driven by commercial interests.

If only she could change the status quo...

Lu Jing’s head sank lower and lower, her view gradually shifting from the outside world inward until she could only see the wall in front of her.

"Your score is very good," the Tianque Attendant returned with the test slip.

Whew, that was a close call.

Lu Jing was delighted internally, but she maintained a calm expression on the surface. Tianque Attendants were skilled in martial arts, equipped with advanced armor, and quite capable in battle. With Shenxiao Swordsmanship, Four Points True Gold, and the Cyclone Sword, Lu Jing could barely hold her own.

"May I go now?" Lu Jing asked.

"It depends on Miss Lu’s wishes, Miss Lu has new instructions," he said, turning towards the communication station.

"I’ll follow Miss Lu’s orders," Lu Jing quickly said.

"Miss Lu asks what you need,"

"Needs...um..." Lu Jing tentatively asked, "...could I get a raise?"

"Miss Lu plans to raise you to 400,000, based on the standards of a High-Ranking Witch,"

"That’s a lot of money!"

"And that’s not all, Miss Lu wants you to take medicine. Go to the Medical Pavilion to get the Immortal Pill," he said.

"Ah?"

"Miss Lu believes you have been influenced by some very bad things, very bad indeed, and she hopes you will return to the way she is familiar with,"

"I...I don’t know, I feel better now. I’ve become stronger and smarter than before, and also, I, and..."

"Are you going against Miss Lu’s wishes?"

"No! I...I will go," Lu Jing quickly responded. She didn’t know who her parents were, Miss Lu Sizhou was her master.

Lu Jing left the testing area, trying to head to the elevator on her own, the ordinary human staff made her uncomfortable.

Her expression became increasingly sad.

Arriving at the grand and imposing Medical Pavilion, she saw that the decor was quaint and the furniture ample, looking more like an antique furniture store than a clinic.

A pharmacist in a white robe handed Lu Jing a box.

"Take one," the pharmacist said.

Lu Jing looked at the box with no label, no instructions, no branding, just a copper pill box, with a strange pill fragrance seeping through the cracks.

"Can I not take it?" Lu Jing asked.

"The Mechanoid is waiting for you at the door," the pharmacist said.

Lu Jing turned her head and saw a Jade Automaton standing at the exit of the Medical Pavilion.

"What is this pill?" Lu Jing asked.

"The Immortal Pill; very expensive, a new product, Miss Lu had me prepare it for you. After you take it, you will fly to the skies, and be even happier, look at that frown on your face..." the pharmacist retreated to the back of the window, disappearing from Lu Jing’s sight, moving beyond the tall and thick shelves of medicinal herbs. Lu Jing felt he was not human.
