Good Grief, Nepotism at Its Finest!
"Didn't they know about the Shunni Sanqianliu)?"
The leader of a Monster Group that had previously operated in Japan asked this question, her face full of disappointment. "How could they possibly handle the 'undying monsters' and 'shadow legion' of the Shunni Family '?!"
Are they afraid that if there are too many people, they won't be able to pick the peaches?
The 22nd Group is quite famous in Japan... mainly because of its top-notch ability to grab business.
I accept bodyguard jobs, assassin jobs, and even medical treatment requests.
They practically monopolized the black market in Wind City and Wind City surrounding cities... leaving the surrounding conglomerates with no choice but to rob banks to make money.
"They've never been to Japan before, how could they know the enemy was so terrifying... That's why the King of Wind City favors the 22nd Group."
One of the group leaders said through gritted teeth, "Damn it, why doesn't the King of Wind City support my group? If he did, would I still have to worry about the 22nd Group stepping on our heads... Ah."
It seems I let something slip.
However, quite unexpectedly...
Many leaders guiltily averted their gaze, trying to avoid their colleagues discovering that the other person was actually speaking for them.
Yes, that's what everyone thinks.
Because Cong Yu, the King of Wind City, is completely on the side of the 22nd Group... that's why everyone has such a strong opinion.
Some people even secretly bought mobile phones and followed the official account of "Myriad Immortals Ceremony" and Cong Yu's personal account...
Waiting for the latest news.
They were just waiting for the right time to surrender. If Cong Yu felt that one 22nd Group wasn't enough... then they would have to volunteer themselves.
Hehehe, then we'll see how shameless our colleagues can be.
However, they clearly didn't know that this was one of the reasons why Cong Yu was destined not to choose their group...
Who wouldn't want to associate with a treacherous official?
Being a loyal minister rarely ends well, whether it's princes vying for power, treacherous officials rising to the top, eunuchs interfering in politics, or the fact that a loyal minister's loyalty is not absolute.
Neither of them will end well.
But treacherous officials are different... once the previous emperor had used them, the next emperor would continue to use them, or even completely side with the main villain (Cong Yu).
Go deceive them! Go ambush His Chi You!
Wouldn't it be wonderful to simply claim credit for following the emperor's rise to power?!
Cong Yu becomes emperor, then anyone who helped him rise to power will be directly made the Monster King!
Traitorous officials, how satisfying!
This is what everyone really thinks, but it's impossible to say it the Light Side...
"Beep beep beep--"
"..." Then, many people's phones rang simultaneously with the notification sound of messages from accounts they had "specially followed".
The leaders of these strange individuals were immediately taken aback, and then they all secretly took out their phones and began to read the messages on the "Official Account of the Myriad Immortals Ceremony".

"Ahem, everyone... I just remembered something."
The eccentric leader coughed lightly, shoving his phone back into his pocket. "I won't bother you, I'm leaving now..."
What is the matter that everyone wants to know?
The eccentric leader immediately responded in a seemingly reasonable manner, "My wife gave birth."
The other eccentric leader, also wearing an awkward smile, stood up and said, "Well, I have something to do too... Haha, my wife just gave birth."
You all have the same wife?!
Chapter 695 Oh my god, nepotism!
"You're applying for a procedure consultant position, right?"
Cong Yu said this, she rested her chin on her hand with a sigh, lamenting why she had to sit here as an interviewer.
However, he had actually done such a thing before.
Because he killed the original personnel of the 22nd Group, he had held this position for a period of time before he picked up Big Shadow.
Why are you interested in this position?
Cong Yu asked the strange man who came for the interview, and the man, who looked quite respectable, hesitated for a moment in response to Cong Yu's question.
"There's no particular reason, I just feel this position suits me well... maybe it's because I'm very capable!"
As he spoke, the man confidently displayed the magic in his hands... and of course, the muscles in his arms.
Arms enhanced by magic, gleaming with a metallic sheen.
"..." Cong Yu fell silent, exchanging a glance with the deputy interviewer beside her, Miss Lin. Lin Yun.
This guy's acting as an adventurous spellcasting consultant...
It doesn't look like someone who knows magic at all.
Cong Yu shook her head speechlessly, writing something on the documents in her hand, and then continued to ask, "Please tell me what your proudest achievement in your past work is?"
To Cong Yu's question, the other party answered more easily, "Haha! I wiped out a human village."
"We tortured and killed the people there, forcing the magical girls protecting them to release their Spirit Vein, and then used it as our group's base."
"..."
"Mmm--"
Cong Yu nodded, making an approving sound, and looked at the other person's head with a gratified gaze... wondering if it was empty inside.
No, you killed someone, so don't get angry...
The job posting clearly states that White-White must not be hostile towards magical girls, monsters, or humans.
It's one thing to say things like "a fair and square battle" or "[due to our position, we achieved a great victory!]"
You even subjected me to "torture" and "coercion" and such.
It's a bit too much to identify him as the leader of Monster Group.
Cong Yu: "Jormungandr Train!"
The leader of the oddballs. "Croak?! Wind... King of Wind City, my application was so brilliant, why... why are you?!"
--
"Next... What? You're asking about the previous interviewee? He failed miserably in his interview. Good luck."
"The position you are applying for is..."
--
Hello, may I ask if you are...?
--
"..."
It's lunchtime.
As Miss Lin spoke, looking at this job fair where quite a few eccentrics had already perished, she seemed somewhat sentimental. "There isn't a single eccentric person taking the job seriously... Are all eccentrics like this?"
"..." Cong Yu was speechless. He opened his mouth as if to say something, then fell silent again. "..."
Damn it, back in Japan, none of the weirdos around me were really that overpowered... What's going on?
No, that's not right.
Upon closer reflection, isn't this another case of survivorship bias?
It's precisely because the other party is so incredibly powerful that their first thought was, "Haha, I'm here to surrender!" and they rushed over excitedly.
Even a normal person, if they were considering taking the job, would be thinking it over carefully by now...
Let's eat something first.
Sighing, Cong Yu shook her head helplessly and reached into the void... into the Jormungandr Train.
Then, to Miss Lin's astonishment, he took out two steaming bowls of instant noodles and placed them on the table in front of her.
Forest:"???"
In utter confusion, she checked the instant noodle container in front of her and looked at the production date. "Four years ago?!"
If she's not mistaken, this cup of instant noodles was undoubtedly prepared four years ago, right?
Is this okay?
"Don't look like that. Although it was indeed bought and brewed several years ago."
As Cong Yu said this, she calmly took out two forks and handed one to her. "But Jormungandr Train is my proudest spell."
"I can control some environmental changes in the carriages... I can also freeze the concept of space and time."
Cong Yu, explaining this, nonchalantly slurped up her noodles. "So there's no need to worry about them spoiling or expiring."
That's outrageous!
Even so, Miss Lin's upbringing made it difficult for her to eat instant noodles from four years ago.
"Sigh... you really are something else."
But in the end, she still slurped down her instant noodles, complaining as she ate her lunch. "It feels like the people who came for the job are completely unreliable."
Miss Lin is right.
The strange people I encountered during this job application process were all rather indescribable; they were hardly oddballs... they just made me question their intelligence.
"There's no way around it. Once the truly skilled magical girls and monsters arrive, everything will be alright..."
Miss Lin felt a strange urge to laugh at Cong Yu's words, but she held it in and simply said, "Just recommend a few suitable candidates internally."
Is "..." appropriate?
Cong Yu pondered for a moment, but still couldn't decide. "It's not suitable... I feel they're not up to the task."
The biggest problem is that the average education level of magical girls and monsters is really too... well, too innocent.
While highly educated magical girls are rare, they do exist.
But there are very few eccentric people who are highly educated, have a broad knowledge base, have actually attended school... or even just attended high school.
Perhaps, in the end, we can only choose the best among the worst, and hire a few eccentric individuals who are of average ability but are willing and able to learn.
