SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire
Chapter 810 - 810 560 Official Assessment_2

Chapter 810: Chapter 560 Official Assessment_2 Chapter 810: Chapter 560 Official Assessment_2 Before, when he saw him, he also thought about taking the initiative to talk…

But because Xu Duojin indicated there was no need, he didn’t go, not expecting that resources had already been spewed out.

And does this have something to do with the company?

It took him only two seconds, and Colin understood the reason.

These guys must have been trying to curry favor with “Bonfire Company,” given that their disregard for ordinary people was contrary to the company’s philosophy…

After gaining enough understanding of “Bonfire Company,” they clearly knew that their behavior of hoarding resources and ignoring the lives of ordinary people could potentially offend the company.

And now, wherever one could possibly escape to seemed to somehow be related to “Bonfire Company”…

Plus, some of the “Extraordinary Ones” among them were employees of the company.

If one day they needed help from the company, they might likely be unwelcome because of this issue…

“It seems, whether they like it or not, they all must spit out something from their guts.”

Colin, while looking at the rapidly changing scenery outside the window, thought and then spoke in a gentle tone a few seconds later,

“There’s still some time, let’s find names of these forces and a list of some higher-risk individuals, I’d like to memorize them a bit.”

Of course, remembering these people was definitely not about returning favors.

It was because these guys were more likely to backstab, and if encountered, one could easily be stabbed without caution.

Xu Duojin clearly understood his meaning as well: “I’ve already sent the relevant contents to Ms. Silver by your side…”

“Oh, that works.”

Colin nodded, then, with a shift of thought, saw the Little Maid, who cooperatively transmitted the stream of information directly into his retina through special means.

An hour later, in a relatively remote town, Colin encountered an official venue used specifically for interview assessments.

A public park that wasn’t very luxurious but had a fairly large footprint.

At the entrance gate, the black official sedan stopped, and as soon as Colin got out of the car, the guards at the gate immediately looked at him and gestured for him to stop.

However, as soon as Xu Duojin got out and showed his credentials, the gates to the park opened.

“As we walk over, we’ll encounter some watching eyes, but don’t pay them too much mind…”

Typically, these observations were meant for the truly ‘new’ recruits, but obviously, Colin wasn’t really a new recruit…

However, as Mr. Wu said, all screenings could be dealt with formally but should not be negligent; they also had to carry them out.

Naturally, Xu Duojin also understood that, since it involved contact with the “Book of Fate,” it was best to follow the procedures, whether it was just for show or otherwise; the facade needed to be maintained.

If someone thought they were too excellent and chose to promote directly to Level 6 positions or skip grades without going through “assessment” and being watched by the “Book of Fate,” just to scrimp even a little, there had been such instances in the past…

As a result, that promoter had a rough time for a while, nearly dying several times.

Only after re-completing assessments, did he recover—As for why he knew this so clearly, it was because he was the unlucky fellow Mr. Wu had pushed forward to conduct this experiment.

Initially unclear why, but now, Xu Duojin vaguely felt.

Being highly bound to the official “Book of Fate” likely meant they were arranging something through them, which was why they enforced people through this stage of the three main pathways…

“Alright.”

Colin nodded at his words, followed half a step behind Xu Duojin.

All along the way, he did indeed feel some sneaky glances, but he detected all of them.

With a large enough gap in strength, even without Bonfire, he could still use some of the basic passives of Beast Transformation Syndrome, such as scent and crisis awareness, to lock onto the position and status of an enemy in his mind…

‘The strongest in the entire assessment venue are just two Level Seven Personnel and some mediocre tools, at this level, I might have sneaked a peek when I first joined the company at F Level, but as soon as I reached E level, in my presence, it’s almost like they’re skinny-dipping…’

Colin’s expression remained unchanged, but he couldn’t help thinking to himself.

Everything within the assessment venue was basically within his perception; compared to these people, Colin was more curious about some related affairs of the “Book of Fate.”

It seemed, however, he hadn’t felt it yet…

And at this moment, as Xu Duojin led the way, he continued to explain the upcoming process:

“Sometimes, there are spies mixed within the officials, and these people might not even know that they are spies. During assessments, once they are glanced at by the ‘Book of Fate’, they go mad. To minimize the chaos they could cause after exposing themselves, the assessment locations are set in more remote areas…”

“That’s how it is.” Colin nodded and walked away with his hands clasped behind his back, slowly striding forward.

Elsewhere, a group of observers circled around ‘observation’, watching Colin’s leader-like demeanor as he walked with hands behind him. In contrast, Xu Duojin, who was supposed to portray a sage-like persona, was fawning over him with flattery, leaving everyone momentarily speechless.

Had they not known Xu Duojin’s identity, they might have suspected that the young man was the actual leader.

At the same time, everyone began to wonder about the background of this young man who could make Xu Duojin adopt such an attitude.

They speculated, one by one, whether this young man could possibly be Old Master Wu’s illegitimate son?

Otherwise, it really wasn’t possible.

However, they also knew beforehand that this assessment task was special; all they needed to do was to “deliver high praise” on a particular paper to attract the attention of something.

As soon as Colin and another passed into a building, the observers withdrew their gazes.

“In the presence of an elder, neither servile nor overbearing, extremely outstanding, a rarity in a thousand years…”

“Flawless jade, brimming with talent, a prodigy unseen in ages, the marvel of the world.”

“Holy crap, this young man is truly awesome.”

…

Several personnel, with mixed emotions and against their conscience, wrote their evaluations of that unfamiliar young man on the special paper.

…

Meanwhile, inside the building, Xu Duojin brought Colin to the door of the assessment office. He patted Colin on the shoulder, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

But he had not walked far when he suddenly felt his luck inexplicably improve.

Perplexed, he suddenly heard Colin’s voice from behind, “Wait a moment.”

“Uh?” Xu Duojin stopped and half-turned to look at Colin.

He saw him casually take something shiny and gold out of his pocket and tossed it over, covering a distance of about five or six meters.

“I’m giving this to you.”

“Holy crap…” Xu Duojin caught the airborne golden mark in mid-air and immediately grabbed it without any regard for his image.

“This precious item, what if it gets damaged if it falls on the ground! Gold is quite soft.”

Xu Duojin held the palm-sized object close, feeling the energy it contained, and realized what a top-tier item it was!

It had no significant side effects and could provide super strong bursts of power.

Just with these, Xu Duojin even felt confident enough to go toe-to-toe with some ‘Divine Strike’ type Ninth Level Personnel.

“Ha, even if you smashed your head against it, you couldn’t break it, let alone dropping it on the ground…”

Colin smiled. This was a rather special Golden Mark, solidly made and also a high-quality new item that had both “Light” and “Fire” properties, crafted with the efforts of him and Shana.

In the final period, aside from the “Light” sect being brought over as “assembly line employees,” the output from Colin and Shana had reduced as they began creating some high-quality products for others.

After understanding the horrors of this catastrophe, he did not wish to see his close ones die easily.

At the very least, he hoped that when pushed into a corner by these friends, he could still have a bit of “hidden backup energy” or a “microcosm” to burst forth and fight for one last chance.

Then, Colin slightly shook his head, gathered his thoughts, waved his hand, turned around, and walked towards the “interview office.”

Watching his figure disappear into it, Xu Duojin felt a strong sense of possibly parting ways forever…

He took a deep breath, turned around, and left, carrying the Golden Mark in his hand and heading to his own battlefront.
