Twisted Dreams-Chapter 151 - 123: Angel Harbor Hospital, Death God’s Talent Market
The interview lasted a full two hours.
Zhao Pengcheng finished the paper, took a deep breath, and thought to himself:
"Honestly, I haven’t been this exhausted since my graduate entrance exam and thesis project."
If the preliminary interview felt like a wise elder patiently teaching you, the interview felt like the elders had become strict. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Immunology, bacteriology, biology, virology — the breadth of knowledge covered and the depth of content were unbelievable.
Perhaps some ordinary university graduates with a background in biological engineering couldn’t even understand these questions.
Out of the corner of his eye, Zhao Pengcheng noticed something.
A voluptuous woman in a striped suit appeared outside the translucent glass door.
Big waves, high chest, high heels, all showcasing feminine allure.
She crossed her arms, seemingly examining the room full of interviewees.
Excitement flashed in Zhao Pengcheng’s eyes.
Although he had only met Su Yutang once, he could never forget Su Yutang’s proud and icy elegance!
This woman was Su Yutang!
Rumor had it that Detai Group had close ties with this biological lab, and indeed, it was true!
Zhao Pengcheng began to daydream.
The story of an ordinary employee counterattacking a female CEO played out in his mind.
Was he just a regular researcher?
It didn’t matter; the important thing was that he was a superpower user!
One who could spit fire!
He secretly glanced at Lilith, who was invigilating.
She sat upright, with her beautiful legs crossed.
Due to her race, her long legs were practically longer than Zhao Pengcheng’s life.
At 1.7 meters tall, Lilith was wearing ten-centimeter high heels, almost exploding the golden ratio.
A faint smile appeared on Zhao Pengcheng’s lips.
Cold and elegant female CEO, fiery female executive — isn’t this the typical urban dragon slayer’s mission?!
Lilith noticed Su Yutang, got up, and swayed her waist as she walked out the door.
Curiosity surged in Zhao Pengcheng’s heart.
Could he secretly use his Spiritual Power to listen to what these two beauties were discussing?
This might indirectly bring him closer to the two gorgeous women.
Zhao Pengcheng held his breath, concentrating his Spiritual Power in his ears to enhance his hearing.
His use of Spiritual Power was still rough, far from matching Mo Yulin and Ye Fan.
Yet, consuming large amounts of Spiritual Power could still achieve a decent effect.
He heard clearly.
"President Su, is that gentleman coming today?"
Lilith and Su Yutang had a confrontation in the past but weren’t adversaries, just acquaintances.
Due to her loyalty to Du Yangming, who was in a ’father’ position, and Du Yangming’s master—the mysterious leader, she conversed with Su Yutang on equal grounds.
Besides, Lilith believed that as a vampire, she might not necessarily be inferior to Su Yutang.
She even contemplated another bout.
Su Yutang didn’t care about Lilith’s attitude, nodding:
"Yes, he’ll be here soon."
Listening to their conversation, Zhao Pengcheng’s face showed disbelief.
The gentleman?
Would such distinguished women use that title for anyone, even the mayor?
Had he misheard?
Zhao Pengcheng wanted to listen more closely.
Suddenly, two pairs of eyes as cold as ice shifted towards him.
Zhao Pengcheng looked horrified, quickly retracting his Spiritual Power.
Was he discovered?!
How was it possible!!!
Were those two women Extraordinary as well?!
Or were they far stronger than he was?!
Those two cold gazes continued to scan the room, and Zhao Pengcheng quickly pretended to be deep in thought over the exam questions.
Cold sweat dripped down his temples onto the test paper.
Su Yutang spoke indifferently:
"Forget it, just a small fry, not worth caring about."
Lilith nodded.
These days, encountering a random Extraordinary in front of them wouldn’t surprise them, nor would they believe this weak Extraordinary could do anything unusual.
This Extraordinary couldn’t overpower the Guardians hidden within Six Paths Biotechnology Company, nor access the core content.
Whether he was a mortal or an Extraordinary, what did it matter?
Eavesdrop on their conversation, knowing there was someone above Su Yutang, who would believe it?
Stable footsteps echoed in the corridor.
Lilith and Su Yutang stopped talking.
Zhao Pengcheng strained his ears to listen, not daring to use his Spiritual Power again.
He could only hear what sounded like a man’s footsteps.
After the man passed the corridor, he heard Lilith and Su Yutang’s high heels; they seemed to be following the man.
Zhao Pengcheng couldn’t help but raise his head, catching only a glimpse of a black cloak, like a trench coat.
Then, there was Lilith’s and Su Yutang’s seductive figures.
Zhao Pengcheng swallowed hard, cold sweat dripping.
His heart filled with boundless fear.
That black cloak seemed like a corner of the Celestial Palace.
Thinking he was the main character template just from glimpsing a corner of the Celestial Palace, he felt terrified, no longer daring to be grandiose.
So many people in this world thought they were the protagonist.
But he was just one of the ten thousand celestial soldiers, a character without a name.
...
Inside an office.
Li Yang sat in the boss chair, back to the door, facing the office’s floor-to-ceiling window.
Outside the window was a sea at Nantuo Ridge; if the window were open, the sea breeze could blow inside.
Once upon a time, he most wished to work in such a place after graduating from university.
Now, the entire building was his.
[Six Paths Biotechnology], the name was also created by his subordinates to please him.
In Xia Country’s legends, the god who governs death also manages the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Li Yang was indifferent to this.
He didn’t come today to admire his first skyscraper.
It was just that this place would be the origin of legendary creatures, so [Six Paths Creatures] held significance now.
Desire would gradually inflate as one tasted more ’sweet rewards’.
This was also why he had confidence in the Desire Power cultivated at the Demon Exchange.
Behind him, Lilith and Su Yutang stood submissively.
Li Yang wasn’t like Crow, with a perverse humor, demanding people kneel at every moment.
He was a pragmatist, uninterested in the void.
Su Yutang, this icy female CEO, maintained her proud demeanor even in the Demon Club.
But facing Li Yang, her pride dissipated, and she lowered her head, speaking softly:
"Master, two days ago, His Majesty the Black Emperor visited."
Su Yutang knew there was a need to inform the master about such matters.
Being closely associated with the errant Apostle without voluntarily informing the Death God, she feared violating a taboo.
Li Yang only replied blandly:
"Hmm, got it."
Lilith spoke softly too:
"Master, the interview pass rate is not low.
The core researchers at [Six Paths Biotechnology] will likely be about thirty-five.
Peripheral researchers might be around three hundred and eighty.
Counting assistants, recently eligible to join the research division are approximately one thousand five hundred employees."
One thousand five hundred research division employees was quite a decent setup for an experimental lab in the biological technology field.
But for Li Yang, it was not enough.
The relationship between these research division employees and [Six Paths Creatures] was merely a dirty monetary transaction (salary and receipt).
Li Yang hoped there would be a group of employees whose connection with [Six Paths Creatures] was deeper, transcendent, a matter of life and death.
They might not possess the current core researchers’ expertise, but they had to be eager to learn and one hundred percent loyal.
Li Yang said:
"Angel Harbor Hospital should recruit some high-achievers from the biological engineering field."
Angel Harbor Hospital was already Su Yutang’s property.
Su Yutang didn’t quite understand the purpose behind Angel Harbor Hospital recruiting top achievers from the biological engineering field,
Repeating in wonder:
"Angel Harbor Hospital recruits biological engineering professionals?"
Sounding like a question, a murmur.
Li Yang responded:
"Not employees, but patients."
Su Yutang suddenly understood.
It was recruiting a group of top achievers with no security in life but suffering from severe illnesses.
Lord Death God wanted those top achievers to serve [Six Paths Creatures] as loyally as a Cleaner!
Those top achievers might not have adequate expertise, but they could learn!
As long as the Death God was present, they essentially possessed unlimited energy!
The important part was one hundred percent loyalty!
Su Yutang pondered and said:
"Master, I have an idea.
Angel Harbor Hospital and Six Paths Creatures should co-host a nationwide charity project.
Specially recruit patients with serious diseases and from poverty-stricken backgrounds with no ability to be treated.
You can select the talents you need, making Angel Harbor Hospital your talent reservoir!
And, I have a plan.
Death Leaves can be utilized."
