Signing

"Ancient martial arts have a very early origin, and there are many schools, each one different."

"As for secret techniques, they're mysterious, yet not really mysterious. They simply use certain methods to stimulate the body and achieve the effects of Gene Evolution." Wu Bing explained as he watched Yang Bo.

Wu Bing had more or less guessed Yang Bo's thoughts. He believed Yang Bo definitely wanted to become a Gene Evolver. As for why, it was because nearly every resident wanted the same thing.

"Brother Wu, does that mean I'm being watched all the time inside the place I live?" Yang Bo thought for a moment before asking.

Wu Bing chuckled. "As long as they want to, they can see anything about you."

Seeing Yang Bo's expression change, Wu Bing asked, "Do you want to become a Gene Evolver?"

"Brother Wu, do you have a way?" Yang Bo hurriedly asked, appearing somewhat anxious. Of course, that was for Wu Bing to see. After all, the original owner was only nineteen.

"You can talk to the boss."

"Uh, is the boss really that capable?"

"The stronger the employees, the more profit they generate for the boss. So you can give it a try. I became a Gene Evolver—no, more accurately, I have my current strength because the company gave me an opportunity."

Yang Bo felt conflicted. What he lacked was opportunity, but having to work his life away for the company made him somewhat unwilling. "I'll have the boss talk to you." Wu Bing felt that he had already said enough. What happened to Yang Bo afterward would depend partly on opportunity and partly on himself. Still, most people whose Gene Serum injections failed had limited potential for growth.

Liu Zhijie entered the room and said directly, "Yang Bo, Wu Bing has already told you plenty. As long as you sign with the company and become a full-time employee, the company will train you. We have Gene Serum, ancient martial arts, and even secret techniques."

"But don't place too much hope in it. The most important factor for the strong is their own talent. What you don't know is that aside from certain families, most people are earmarked from birth through genetic testing. The success rate of genetic testing can reach eighty percent. First-rate talents are long since targeted by the military, while the rest are carved up layer by layer by the major powers. Even if there are still a few fish that slip through the net, other factions will keep an eye on them after they receive Gene Serum injections."

Yang Bo asked, "Boss, will there be any problems after signing the contract?"

"Of course there will. Every job carries risks. Last year alone, there were hundreds of incidents in space. I'm referring solely to accidents, which resulted in the loss of over a hundred Rank A Gene Evolvers. High-energy cosmic rays, unidentified objects traveling at over a hundred thousand kilometers per second—human technology can't detect them."

"Of course, our work has a very high safety rating, and we can't do anything to you anyway. You're also a citizen of the state. If something happens to you, we'll have to pay an even greater price to eliminate the consequences."

"And the contract is perfectly legitimate."

Yang Bo pondered for a moment, then said, "Boss, I can sign, but I want to move. I hope the company can provide free housing. A poorer environment is fine too."

"Heh, do you long for freedom?" Liu Zhijie inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. At first, Liu Zhijie had only wanted Yang Bo because the company was short-handed. But last night, he had someone look into which company had produced the Gene Serum Yang Bo had been injected with. That information was available on the government's official website.

Then, after combining that information with some of the things that company had done in the decades before Yang Bo received his Gene Serum injection, Liu Zhijie concluded that the company might have been testing some new type of Gene Serum.

Because according to Wu Bing's account, Yang Bo had avoided the monster's attack yesterday. That was abnormal for an ordinary person, especially since even Wu Bing had failed to detect the monster's camouflage.

As for what abilities Yang Bo possessed, Liu Zhijie had no desire to know. Those were everyone's greatest secrets. As long as Yang Bo could serve the company, that was enough.

If Yang Bo refused to sign a formal contract, Liu Zhijie would sell his information to interested parties.

Yang Bo signed a formal contract with Anzhijie Service Company. Liu Zhijie looked at Yang Bo's contract and inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. Given the special nature of his company, they needed residents. Not just his company—anyone providing similar services needed residents—but most residents had no desire to work outside.

"Yang Bo, our company uses an internal points system. Points can be exchanged for anything. Here is the redemption list for entry-level employees. Every mission will not only pay you compensation, but also grant corresponding points." Liu Zhijie took out a sheet of paper and handed it to Yang Bo.

"D-Class Gene Evolution Serum, one million points!" Yang Bo looked at the D-Class Gene Evolution Serum. It actually required one million points.

"Rank E Gene Serum, one hundred thousand points!" Yang Bo continued reading.

Under the points system, however much compensation one earned was how many points one received. Aside from Gene Serum, there were also Anti-Gravity Skateboards, Anti-Gravity Flying Cars, houses, and more.

"Our company also provides loan services, with lower interest rates than financial institutions," Liu Zhijie added.

Yang Bo shook his head, then asked, "Boss, how do I accept missions?"

"It's simple. You can accept them through your wristwatch. You don't even need to come to the company. Of course, the logistics department will charge you to deliver tools." Liu Zhijie continued.

"Boss, are there any ancient martial arts options? My previous Gene Serum injection already failed. Even if I exchange for Gene Serum again, the success rate will still be a problem, right?" Yang Bo took a sip of water and asked.

"Of course. Here are the relevant materials."

Yang Bo took the materials and was immediately stunned. Ancient martial arts methods were also divided into many levels. The highest cost hundreds of millions of points, while the lowest were free. However, they had to be practiced at professional training facilities because there would be people there to provide instruction and emergency measures. The cheapest training facility cost one thousand Credit Points per hour...

"Yang Bo, remember one thing about this society: if you want to live better, nothing comes free. The company's policy is fairness. Of course, I can offer you advice on certain matters, but my advice comes from my own perspective and may not suit you very well. No matter who gives you advice in the future, you must consider it carefully yourself," Liu Zhijie said.

"Understood, Boss."

"You can prepare your own wristwatch or collect one from the company. Of course, once your rank is high enough, you'll need a wristwatch customized by our company. Your current rank isn't high enough yet. Once you get your own wristwatch, you can move out of your current place and into the Company Dormitory arranged by the company."

"I'll take you to the dormitory first. Don't worry about our Company Dormitory."

Yang Bo nodded. This company's business was clearly far from simple. Without sufficient strength, no one would dare to operate in this line of work. He just wondered who stood behind the company?
