Colin said, easing the tension among the crowd.

Hearing his words, people breathed a sigh of relief, though they were still somewhat ill at ease.

At that moment, another D Level employee besides Lifecoach Kawaii-many spoke up, “What are we discussing here this time?”

“Basically, it’s about the preparation for the project arriving tomorrow, and then confirming if there are any personnel changes; of course, if time permits, we can touch on some other topics,” Colin replied succinctly.

Without waiting for the others to ask, he continued, “If everything goes as planned, we will have a similar meeting before every ‘arrival project’ to exchange information.”

After all, the employee death rate at the company is not high, but not low either.

You never know which of those present might suddenly disappear while on a task…

It’s better to confirm things with a meeting beforehand.

Compared to the others who were still somewhat restrained, the trio was not as concerned; they had been through many meetings already.

“Brother… Boss, do we have any new recruits this week?” Li Ming asked instinctively.

They were now F Level, and their parchment had been integrated into the large “System,” and in the internal forum, they had a very clear understanding of their boss’s current status.

Knowing that his combat power was definitely the best within the company…

All sorts of tasks that regular employees couldn’t handle, he had completed them all.

Last time, they thought that the other D Level employees were more or less at the boss’s level, but once they got inside, they realized that all the D Level personnel combined were not necessarily a match for the boss.

He was the only one who could make “nuclear bombs” with his bare hands in a short period of time.

At this moment, after he made the inquiry, everyone’s attention turned towards them.

Whether new recruits had arrived was quite important to them.

“Yes,” Colin nodded.

“Oh okay then, so next week have we got… Huh? Wait, there really are new recruits?” Li Ming was already prepared for a negative response, since it had always been like that in the past, and almost subconsciously assumed there were none.

But he was halfway through speaking when he realized there were!

“About twenty or so, I’d say. It depends on the situation. After all, it’s voluntary, and I can’t really force anyone.”

“Twenty people, huh? Yeah, that’s not bad,” they nodded.

Having some is better than none…

It was not just the three of them; all the others exchanged glances, a strange smile flickering at the corners of their mouths.

Of course, they weren’t thinking about how to torment the newcomers.

They really needed the manpower…

While they were over there, they didn’t have to worry about danger too much, thanks to Brother Shunzi’s presence.

But obviously, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Everything has a cost.

When there was no danger, Brother Shunzi was the danger!

They had experienced firsthand what it meant for even the Extraordinary Ones to be worked to death.

“Life Mentor Adorable” was moving bricks at night, while white-haired individuals operated the “Body of Tyranny” to till the fields—the ground was so hard there that without being one of the Extraordinary Ones, you’d have to resort to large specialized machinery.

Unfortunately, they obviously didn’t have such things there.

So they had to rely on the Extraordinary Ones, along with all sorts of explosive packs.

After seven consecutive days,

even the D Level Personnel could hardly bear it.

Those with the “Body of Tyranny” Talent felt an inexplicable threat of death in the latter days and initially didn’t know what was going on.

Late, they realized that it was a signal that their bodies couldn’t hold up anymore.

So, one more person meant one more beast, no, one more laborer to share the joy of work.

Seeing everyone’s expressions, Colin shook his head privately.

The number of refugees over there was increasing at an incredibly fast rate.

Even if all twenty people showed up, the tasks they needed to do probably wouldn’t decrease, but they definitely wouldn’t be any less.

‘Too bad I don’t have the authority to recruit directly; otherwise, I’d use my authority to bring in a thousand people and solve most of the problems at once,’ Colin lamented.

Now, after the official research on the company had begun, they roughly knew the company’s recruitment standards.

It was said to be random recruitment, and it was indeed random…

But it wasn’t entirely random.

Colin initially thought the company preferred to recruit people who were on the brink of death because such people might be more willing to compromise, but after official systematic research and a huge amount of samples, it was discovered…

That approach was wrong.

The company actually preferred those who were “optimistic” and “unyielding,” and who held to some line of good moral standards.

Simply put, if a person in severe pain could still laugh, find joy in suffering, know they were headed toward inevitable death, yet refuse to give up easily, and at the core of their being wasn’t entirely bad, that person could be considered a target for recruitment.

In addition, such people are not rare…

But the reason why those close to death are recruited more is that these individuals have usually “proven” themselves in the real battle against their illness and pain.

That’s why they are sought after for recruitment.

And the diseases they carry, in the eyes of the company, fall into the category of “nice to have but not necessary.”

A few shots of “Gene Compensation Medicine” would cure the majority completely…

Beyond that, abilities, insight, and so on are also considered by the company, but usually are not the absolute criteria.

Or to put it another way, most of the time, these things are not essential, as the company has the capacity to artificially cram all sorts of knowledge into their brains.
