Chapter 1207 The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (89)

The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (89)

As the reputation of the Crystal Core series grew, the news of the recruitment for the Storage Base gradually spread further and further.

The base is not just temporarily recruiting these talents; it's clear that the base's leadership is wholeheartedly committed to development and construction, and attaches great importance to this aspect.

What was originally just an occasional announcement at 9 a.m. has gradually become a regular announcement at 9 a.m. every day.

Song Ning asked Lance and learned that the base had indeed recruited quite a few talented people.

"Some of them were already living near the base and were initially in a wait-and-see mode, since the base didn't seem to be doing very well before."

Lance told them what he had found out, "But now that the base has developed the crystal core series, everyone has much more confidence in the base's capabilities."

So, regardless of the base's previous reputation, everyone is still very loyal to their own interests.

It's not hard to understand, after all, in the apocalypse, people can really die if they're not loyal to their own interests.

"Doesn't that mean the base has recruited a lot of people now?"

Song Ning became curious, after all, the Crystal Core series was quite powerful and well-known.

But when he talked about this, Lance gave him a complicated expression.

"...No, not at all."

Seeing that Song Ning was really curious, he gave a brief explanation.

It's certainly a good thing that the base wants to recruit talent, since the base is indeed short of talent and those talents can receive better treatment. It's a win-win situation.

Song Ning asked, puzzled, "Then why did you make that expression just now?"

Could something else have happened that's hard to explain?

Lance thought for a moment before telling him.

"Because among the people who come, there are more who want to try to cheat and take advantage of others."

He was responsible for patrolling the outermost perimeter, where he usually didn't see many people. However, recently, due to the base's constant broadcasts, he encountered at least one or two strangers almost every day.

“I also ran into Dr. Liao yesterday.”

Song Ning asked instinctively, "Dr. Liao sneaked out for some fresh air again?"

After he finished speaking, he felt a little embarrassed. "Oh dear, why did I make such assumptions about others? Isn't that inappropriate?"

"Ah."

Ok?

Song Ning looked up at Lance in shock, and Lance nodded again, this time with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

"Dr. Liao was the one who interviewed them."

“Those people were really unprofessional, and some of them even tried to stay by being unreasonable. Dr. Liao was harassed many times because he seemed easy to talk to and had a good temper.”

Now Song Ning also began to sympathize with Dr. Liao.

"No wonder he sneaked out. If I were him, I would have wanted to run away too."

However, since the purpose is to recruit talent, and we can't afford to waste the time of a genius like Dr. Liao who can develop the crystal core series just to recruit talent, right?

Song Ning: "Hasn't the base come up with any good solutions?"

"That's not true. The base already has a new strategy."

Lance: "The base now has a special recruitment exam. If you want to take the exam, you have to submit two tortillas. If you pass, they will be returned; if you fail, they will be withheld."

How is this different from paying money to find a job in the past?

Which genius came up with this ingenious idea?

Song Ning was speechless.

Lance explained to him, "It's said that Dr. Liao proposed it, and I heard that he gets half of the tortillas that were withheld as compensation for emotional distress."

Indeed, only a genius among geniuses could come up with such a method, and Song Ning felt genuine admiration.

"Dr. Liao is truly a remarkable person. He turned a complete disadvantage into an advantage. Most people wouldn't think of such a brilliant idea."

And you can even get half of the tortilla as compensation for emotional distress, so this job is definitely a win-win situation.

Song Ning gave Dr. Liao a big thumbs up.

Since the base changed its recruitment exam rules, it has indeed reduced the number of people coming to try and make a living by speculation.

Song Ning even heard that several powerful figures had spent many days traveling to get here. Only a small number of them believed in the Crystal Core series, but they still came all the way.

Some even brought their families, while others came to scout out the situation first. The base basically accepted them all and even arranged several teams to pick up the families of these big shots and bring them to the base.

In addition, the base expanded again a month later.

This time, the base received a lot of new blood, and even Song Ning and his group had a new neighbor.

The new neighbors were even two acquaintances: Curly, who rented out e-readers, and his gloomy, tall, thin friend.

"Big bosses, you can call me Tang Wei, and hei Bai."

Curly-haired Tang Wei was as enthusiastic and talkative as ever, and in no time he had revealed all about him and Black and White.

Both he and Hei Bai were orphans. Before the apocalypse, they had relatively happy families, so they were exposed to computers and such at an early age. Their families often played together. However, they happened to be traveling when the apocalypse struck. Their parents risked their lives to save them. After that, the two of them grew up supporting each other.

"I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me, but things aren't as particular as they used to be, right? Besides, my mom used to say that she and this guy were supposed to be betrothed when they were kids, so we're together now."

Tang Wei, sporting curly hair, grinned and twisted Hei Bai's waist, "Say something, honey."

Husband?

Song Ning was dumbfounded. This young man was too daring!

Hei Bai still had that gloomy demeanor, but when Song Ning heard Tang Wei call him "husband," she swore she saw the corners of his mouth rise by two percentage points.

"Yes, he's mine."

After finishing his sentence, Hei Bai added, "I am his too."

Tang Wei, standing to the side, clearly wore a big smile, obviously very satisfied with Hei Bai's explanation.

Song Ning seemed to be deep in thought, so now everyone treats this relationship in a very open and aboveboard way, without feeling embarrassed or awkward at all.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Tang Wei glanced at something and suddenly asked Song Ning.

"By the way, Brother Song, are you and that tough-looking guy a couple? Also, why haven't I seen Leopard today? I saw him once before and always thought he was so imposing. I thought I'd get to meet him today."

His expression was quite regretful, and it didn't seem like he was faking it.

Song Ning broke out in a cold sweat in an instant, her throat felt like it was choked by something, and she couldn't answer.

How to do how to do?

Is Lance's true identity about to be exposed?

At that moment, a calm and unhurried voice sounded from behind them.

"I am back."

The man was accompanied by a nimble black panther, which stood out against the snow.
