The Mutant Applying for a Job

"Hello, this is my resume."

A slightly trembling voice rang out, Kino looked at the empty sleeve of the somewhat nervous person in front of him.

He casually picked up the resume, glanced at it, and put it down, while Tom next to him was looking through it very carefully.

"Mr. Connors, why don't you go and buy Limb Regeneration Potion?" Kino asked.

Connors touched his severed arm and gave a wry smile:

"Sir, I haven't worked for a long time, and I can barely afford to eat or buy anything."

His eyes revealed a deep sense of helplessness and bitterness; there was no Osborn in this world, and no one would want a disabled researcher.

"Mr. Connors, your resume states that you are researching limb regeneration technology, so shouldn't you know that our group already has finished products for sale?"

Tom's expression was serious, his gaze fixed intently on Connors, displaying a professional demeanor.

"Yes, but my technology was developed using lizard regeneration genes." Connors's expression darkened, and his voice became low.

"However, your research project was unsuccessful, and your resume states that you were laid off by multiple companies."

Tom paused here, realizing that the down-on-his-luck scientist was just trying his luck.

Connors's eyes grew increasingly dim. He knew the next sentence would most likely be, "Please go home and wait. We will get back to you within a week, and we will notify you of the result, whatever it may be."

However, to his surprise...

"Mr. Connors, you're hired. Start work tomorrow."

Connors looked up in surprise, staring at Kino in disbelief, his eyes wide with astonishment.

He got accepted?

"Regarding your salary and benefits, you haven't successfully researched it. The salary is $20,000 per month, and there's also a staff dormitory available for you to move into anytime."

"... Why?"

Connors was silent for a moment before asking, even though he had already gotten the job he wanted, his doubts still drove him to seek an answer.

"Perhaps it's the dissatisfaction you see in my eyes. I want to see if your research has any other surprises."

"... Thank you for your recognition."

"You can go out now! I have another interview to attend."

After Connors left, Tom couldn't help but ask, "Boss, even if his research succeeds, it won't be of much use to us."

"It's useless without it; I'll just use it as decoration."

Kino casually replied.

Kino couldn't very well tell him that he was Lizard Doctor in another world.

The next person to appear was a man with a watermelon-shaped haircut.

Kino took the resume and glanced at it: Otto Gunther Octavius. What luck today, even Doctor Octopus has shown up.

Otto was about to introduce himself.

"You're hired. Start work tomorrow. Salary and benefits..."

Otto opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Any other questions?" Kino asked.

"No..."

Otto was filled with doubt. Was his resume really that good? He could have succeeded just by looking at it.

After Ultraman left, another person walked in confidently and began to talk at length.

If a disabled person can get the job, I'm sure I'll have no problem.

Tom glanced at the boss first, and seeing that he wasn't interested, he started looking through the resume in his hand.

I only saw half of it before throwing it into the trash can.

You can leave now.

"Why?"

"The Cruz University closed down 15 years ago. If you really graduated from there, you'd be at least 29 now, but your resume only shows you as 26."

Next time, hire someone more professional to forge your resume.

"I misprinted it; I'm actually 36 years old," the job applicant tried to argue.

"Deadpool, drag him away."

Tom couldn't be bothered to listen to his rambling anymore.

"Alright, buddy, let's have a deeper discussion."

Deadpool immediately rushed in, grabbed the man by the collar, and dragged him out like a chick.

Kino didn't interfere further, only occasionally glancing at the resume to see if any familiar names appeared.

Tom also behaved with great professionalism and seriousness. He carefully examined each resume, asked the applicants relevant questions, and looked focused and serious.

Besides Connors and Otto, only two people can stay.

"Next."

As these words were spoken, the door slowly opened, and a green-haired girl walked in. Her hands were empty, and she did not hand over a resume.

Tom frowned; in his view, this was an extremely irresponsible attitude, but duty called for him to follow the procedure.

"Please briefly introduce yourself first."

The green-haired girl stared intently at Kino with her large eyes.

Tom frowned, thinking to himself that this was another attempt to seduce the boss and climb the corporate ladder; he had encountered far too many people like this before. He was about to call for help.

"My name is Lorna Dane. I never went to school, and I'm a Mutants."

Mutants?

Kino became interested. Although the job posting stated that Mutants could also apply, Lorna was the first to arrive.

The people from Xavier's School haven't arrived yet.

"Can you demonstrate your abilities?" Kino asked with great interest.

Lorna's green hair fluttered, dancing gently as if it were alive.

Her raised hands were surrounded by a glowing green light, which flickered and danced like a lively sprite.

The entire room seemed to have transformed into a fantastical metallic world, where all the metal pieces were leaping and spinning joyfully, creating a dazzling spectacle.

"Magneto-kinesis? What's your relationship with Magneto?"

"I don't know him."

When Magneto was mentioned, Lorna's eyes turned cold.

"If we don't know each other, we don't know each other."

Kino didn't press for details, a delighted smile spreading across his face.

Today was truly a bumper harvest.

"Your salary is 50,000 yuan per month, and you can live in the staff dormitory. Do you have any other requirements?"

I want to stay by your side.

Kino was slightly taken aback when Lorna made this request.

Tom frowned, sensing that the girl's intentions were not pure.

Lorna, however, remained resolute, her gaze fixed intently on Kino, seemingly determined to achieve her goal.

"Why? Don't tell me it's love at first sight, I don't believe in that stuff." Kino frowned.

"You forgot, it's in the alley."

The room fell silent, with only Kino lost in her memories.

Tom was already packing his things; this wasn't an employee, it was the new Boss Lady.

Alleyway?

He went into the alley twice: once when he found Pamela, and the other time when he rescued a Mutants.

"You're that Mutants, why didn't you go to the X Academy?"

"Kino asked, his gaze falling on Lorna with a hint of doubt."

"I don't trust them."
