Onboarding Training

On the second day of onboarding training, Yang Bo made himself breakfast at home. On his way out, he also took the trash down to the recycling area. There was no need to sort garbage here. Awesome! After leaving the residential complex, Yang Bo headed for the company. He had to take public transportation here. He had not needed to pay before, but now he did.

Prices varied by time and distance. There were not many people waiting at the bus stop. More than 90% of residents did not go out to work, while most citizens had their own Anti-gravity Cars.

Yang Bo was looking forward to seeing what tasks awaited him today. When he arrived at the bus stop and found that the bus would not arrive for another five minutes, he found a place to sit.

Just as he sat down, a young man entered the waiting area as well. The young man was dressed very ordinarily.

But Yang Bo sensed something different. The first thing this person did upon entering was look at him. Everyone else looked for empty seats first.

I'm being followed again? Remembering how he had felt followed the afternoon before yesterday, Yang Bo frowned slightly.

The moment the young man entered the waiting room, he spotted this mission's target: a nineteen-year-old resident. The assignment was too easy.

But this was not a suitable place to make a move. It was a public area. Once he acted, the Drone Police would arrive in under twenty seconds.

The young man found a seat and watched the target from the corner of his eye. He was an utterly ordinary resident; one could tell from his clothes alone. The young man had no idea who wanted this resident's blood sample.

The young man touched the Ring on his finger. The bus would arrive in a few minutes. He could use the chance to board or get off to obtain the other party's blood sample with the Ring. This mission was practically handing him money. Too easy.

When Yang Bo saw a bus pulling into the station, he immediately stood up and boarded it in an instant, even though it was not headed to the company.

Yang Bo's action left the young man stunned. According to the intelligence, the target should not have been taking this bus.

The young man hurriedly stood up, but it was too late. The bus had already started moving.

"Damn it." The young man cursed under his breath, then rushed toward the Taxi stand nearby.

After getting on the bus, Yang Bo walked to the back and saw the young man hurrying toward the Taxi stand. Yang Bo frowned.

So he really is after me. Yang Bo was now certain.

After thinking it over, Yang Bo carefully checked the bus route and got off at the next stop.

A few minutes later, the bus to the company finally arrived. Yang Bo felt heavy-hearted. Who was following him? The company?

That shouldn't be it, right?

What should I do now? Yang Bo felt a little panicked.

After arriving at the company, Yang Bo was hesitating over whether to tell anyone that he was being followed.

"Yang Bo, this is the next arrangement. Although your current rank is very low, you'll undergo a series of onboarding training courses to deal with dangers that may arise." Liu Zhijie took out a sheet of paper and handed it to Yang Bo.

Yang Bo felt suspicious. Training? He was only receiving training after officially joining? In truth, this was Liu Zhijie giving Yang Bo preferential access to resources. Since Yang Bo might undergo Gene Evolution, Liu Zhijie was giving him this opportunity. Ordinary people might have to work for a while before receiving onboarding training.

"Boss, where will the training take place?" Yang Bo examined the paper carefully. It was mainly about identifying dangerous creatures or objects and handling them properly.

"Virtual Training. We have Virtual Helmets. You have one month. Since you don't have a Biochip to assist you, you must score at least sixty points in the assessment."

"Given the kind of clients we deal with, no one knows what sort of things these people might keep in their homes in pursuit of excitement," Liu Zhijie said.

Those wealthy people would do anything for thrills.

"Boss, I'll do my best."

"You can take the Virtual Helmet home and train there. You need to stay online for at least four hours each day. You'll also be paid during this month," Liu Zhijie added.

"Understood."

Then Yang Bo left the company carrying a box and took a Taxi straight back to where he lived. Let them follow him if they wanted; his private residential complex was safe.

Yang Bo made himself a cup of tea before sitting on the sofa and opening the box. Inside was an old Virtual Helmet, much like a motorcycle helmet, with a large visor. There was also a pair of Silver-White Gloves connected to the Virtual Helmet by wires.

The Virtual Helmet had already been activated. Yang Bo looked at its brand. It was Ping An Company again.

After putting on the helmet, Yang Bo found that his field of vision was like when riding a bike. There was only one app on it, named E-Rank Safety Training. After opening it, he saw several options. The first was dangerous plants, the second was dangerous animals, the third was how to handle dangerous plants, the fourth was how to handle dangerous animals, the fifth was how to save himself, and the sixth was the Simulated Assessment.

"Not bad." Yang Bo moved both hands and opened the first option. The poisonous plants inside came in all sorts of strange varieties. There were plants that killed on contact with blood, plants whose fruits exploded, plants covered in intensely paralyzing toxic thorns, seemingly ordinary plants that were poisonous all over, mushrooms that released toxic spores, and so on.

Yang Bo did not think much of it, because he had worn Protective Suits when working as a Cleaner. Generally speaking, after a task was posted, someone from the company would assess it, and the Protective Suit issued when accepting the task would correspond to the environment.

At noon, he made himself a serving of mixed noodles. After eating, he continued studying. After all, Yang Bo did not want to lose his life in future work because of a mistake or inaccurate intelligence.

On private property, service personnel might not receive timely treatment, because they needed to be treated by company staff rather than official agencies. Once official agencies intervened, the fact that the client had privately planted or raised these organisms would be exposed...

For the next ten days, Yang Bo stayed at home and tried his best to remember everything he had learned, because it concerned his financial future.

While Yang Bo stayed home, someone outside was going crazy with anxiety. The young man following Yang Bo had assumed that obtaining a little blood from an ordinary person would be effortless. He could get a small sample while boarding a bus or bumping into him on the street. Yet after the other party returned home, he simply stopped going out.

Damn it, bastard! I'll kill that piece of trash! The young man who had taken the assignment screamed inwardly.

On Yang Bo's side, he was ready to take the Simulated Assessment. Drawing a deep breath, he clicked on it and found himself in a Garden. The assessment was to identify and clear away the dangerous items in this Garden.

After finding several plants, he first put on protective equipment, then placed the plants into special garbage bags. Different plants required different garbage bags, and poisonous plants needed dedicated ones.

There were several Goldfish in the Garden's fish pond. Yang Bo knew it would not be that simple, since this was an assessment. Soon, beneath a Rockery, he found something black.

"Electric Eel." Yang Bo saw the thing, held a shovel in his hand, and struck the Rockery hard.

Swimming +1!

Swimming +1!

Swimming +1!

...

As the Goldfish in the pond thrashed about, Yang Bo was dumbfounded, streams of information flooding through his mind.

"Holy shit, is this scene real?" Yang Bo was stunned, but then his eyes lit up as he stared at the Electric Eel discharging electricity in the fish pond.
