Chapter 14

On the second floor, in the conference room.

Li Yi, Zhang Gao, Zhao Xiaoxiao, and seven other cultivators came to participate in the guide job recruitment.

Supervisor Xu Ming said: "This recruitment of guides is quite special, so every person who comes to participate can get two contracts. Everyone can decide which contract to sign according to the content and requirements on the contract. However, no matter which contract everyone signs, they must additionally sign a confidentiality agreement."

"Because this matter involves the employer's privacy, I hope everyone understands."

After finishing, Xu Ming arranged for assistants to distribute the two paper contracts separately.

After everyone got them, they looked at them seriously.

Li Yi was also flipping through them, and at first glance, he couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster: "Nine thousand yuan per hour? This price is really high, but the working hours are a bit long, and it requires six hours of uninterrupted work. If the guidance stops midway due to personal reasons, the salary for these six hours will be halved."

"This is the first contract, let's look at the second contract."

"The second contract is actually based on measurement? One hundred yuan for every unit of cosmic energy guided, with no cap, six hours of working time, and breaks are allowed midway."

"This is really hard to choose." Zhang Gao on the side couldn't help but speak out.

Someone immediately nodded in agreement: "It is indeed a bit hard to choose. A fixed salary of nine thousand per hour is already very high, but one hundred yuan per unit of cosmic energy has a greater return. However, there is also risk. If you are lucky, you can earn tens of thousands of yuan in an hour, but if you are unlucky, you can't even earn three thousand yuan in an hour, because capturing the cosmic energy leaking from the wormhole is too unstable."

"Fixed salary is not completely without risk either. The six-hour meditation time tests a cultivator's stability. If you exit meditation midway, the salary is halved, which is not as good as signing the second contract." Zhao Xiaoxiao said.

"Both have pros and cons, it depends on how everyone chooses."

Seven people discussed with each other.

But soon, someone signed the contract: "I won't gamble, I'll sign the first contract."

"Makes sense, a stable salary is very important to me, I'll also sign the first contract."

Watching several people sign their names, Zhang Gao asked: "Li Yi, which contract are you leaning toward?"

"The second one." Li Yi signed his name on the second contract without hesitation.

He had a mystic object and could guide a large amount of cosmic energy. He wouldn't let go of such an opportunity to earn money.

And he wasn't worried that the matter of the mystic object would be exposed.

The energy field of the incomplete mystic object was too small. Lin Yue was so close to him before and couldn't sense it, so others would be the same. And during the work period, he could also take the opportunity to cultivate, which was killing two birds with one stone.

Because there was also a clause in the contract that food and accommodation were provided during the work period here.

Seeing Li Yi so decisive, Zhang Gao hesitated for a while but still chose to sign the first contract.

"Forget it, I won't take the risk either, I'll choose the first contract." Seeing that most people had made their choices, Zhao Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and also signed her name on the first contract.

Out of seven people, only Li Yi chose the second contract, and everyone else chose the first contract.

After signing the contract, Xu Ming said: "Everyone's dormitory is on the third floor, and each person will be arranged an independent suite. As for working hours, it's from twelve midnight to six in the morning. I will notify everyone half an hour in advance, and I hope everyone will be prepared. As for the salary, it's settled daily, and it will be distributed in cash at that time. I hope you understand."

Subsequently, Xu Ming arranged for assistants to let everyone go to the dormitory to rest first, and work would start at night.

Soon, Li Yi was arranged to Room 4.

The room was spacious, bright, clean, and tidy, much better than his house in the old city area.

It's just that he couldn't stay here for long, he had to go back every few days, because his parents were still lying in the medical pod at home, and he had to occasionally find time to go back to replace the nutrient solution.

However, he wasn't worried about problems at home.

He had installed cameras at home, could monitor the situation at home in real-time through his phone, and the medical pod also had special monitoring software, which could also timely understand the operation status of the medical pod. Once there was an emergency, the phone would alarm, and Li Yi would also know immediately.

"It's two o'clock in the afternoon, and work time is twelve at night. During this period, I can meditate and cultivate a little, and by the way, I can also mooch a dinner." Li Yi calculated carefully, making full use of his free time.

But just as he was about to meditate.

Suddenly.

"Knock! Knock!"

The door was knocked.

"Is Li Yi there?" The voice of that Zhao Xiaoxiao came from the door.

"I'm here." After Li Yi opened the door, he saw Zhao Xiaoxiao and several other strange cultivators standing at the door.

"Your name is Li Yi, right? Hello, my name is Wu Zhen, we met just now." The person speaking was a young man about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He had a crew cut, wore a white short-sleeved shirt, had a sturdy build, and gave people a strong sense of aggression.

"Hello, is there anything?" Li Yi nodded.

"It's like this, I learned from Zhao Xiaoxiao just now that you signed the second contract when you were in the conference room, right?" Wu Zhen said.

Li Yi said: "Yes, I think the second contract is more suitable for me. Is there a problem?"

Wu Zhen smiled: "Of course there's no problem. I just wanted to communicate with you in advance. You also know that guides are unstable when guiding cosmic energy. Sometimes there is a lot of cosmic energy, sometimes there is little. I calculated before that a cultivator can guide an average of about sixty units of cosmic energy per hour when meditating and cultivating."

"So we few people reached an agreement, which is that we control the cosmic energy guided per hour to an average number. In this way, the employer won't feel that we are slacking off, and we can also take some time to cultivate during working hours, killing two birds with one stone."

"What number have you set this average value at?" Li Yi asked.

Zhao Xiaoxiao on the side said: "Considering that this job is quite important, we set this number at around seventy, with an upward and downward fluctuation of no more than ten. Li Yi, what do you think?"

"You mean, the cosmic energy I guide per hour cannot exceed eighty at most?" Li Yi finally understood what these people meant.

"That's right." Wu Zhen nodded and said: "Because your contract is different from ours, I think it's necessary to greet you."

"If I guide eighty units of cosmic energy per hour, my hourly wage is only eight thousand, and you guys get an hourly wage of nine thousand. Calculating this way, wouldn't I be losing one thousand?" Li Yi said.

Zhao Xiaoxiao said: "Li Yi, you can't say it like that. You can cultivate yourself in the extra time, this is also a win-win situation."

"In your opinion, it's a win-win, but in my opinion, it's a big loss. I lack money, so I am very urgent to accumulate a sum of money in a short time. Such a measured guide job is not always available, and I also managed to get this job with the introduction of a friend. I refuse your proposal."

Li Yi refused their plan very decisively.

"Is there no room for discussion?" Wu Zhen's eyes narrowed, and light flickered faintly.

Li Yi said: "I understand that you want to slack off at work and mix your salary, but I want to make progress more. Otherwise, why would I sign the second contract? And I also bear the risk by signing the second contract. If I don't even guide ten units of cosmic energy per hour, the loss is also borne by myself."

"I just want to gamble that my luck is not bad, and I can encounter a large leakage of wormhole energy, earning a large sum of money in a short time. If I cooperate with you, I will bear the loss myself when I am unlucky, and when I am lucky, I cannot exceed the limit of eighty, watching the money run away. It turns out that I lose either way, so... no room for discussion."

He looked at Wu Zhen very seriously and said.

Being refused twice in a row, Wu Zhen, as well as Zhao Xiaoxiao on the side, and several other cultivators had not very good expressions.

"If I hope you agree? Can you give us all some face?"

Wu Zhen stretched out his sturdy arm and put it on Li Yi's shoulder at this moment, staring at him fixedly. What flickered in his eyes at this moment was not light, but fierce light.

Threat, undisguised.

The others also looked at Li Yi, not saying a word.

"I don't want to cause trouble."

Li Yi glanced at the arm on his shoulder and could feel that the palm was constantly increasing its strength.

Wu Zhen smiled and said: "Going out, it's all for wealth, we don't want to make things big either."

Li Yi said expressionlessly: "Okay, I'll give you some face and can agree to your request, but can you also give me some face if there's something in the future?"

"That's of course no problem."

Wu Zhen laughed loudly immediately, and then patted Li Yi on the shoulder: "Thanks a lot, friend."

Seeing that Li Yi agreed, the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Li Yi, then you rest well, we won't disturb you, thanks for your understanding." Zhao Xiaoxiao also smiled and said.

"Gone." Seeing that the goal was achieved, these few people left separately.

"Wu Zhen."

However, just as a few people had just turned around and hadn't walked a few steps, Li Yi's voice suddenly sounded.

"What?" Wu Zhen turned his head subconsciously.

But the next moment, his expression changed drastically. He saw Li Yi's figure instantly pull to his eyes, and then he felt a huge force coming from his waist.

"Bang!"

Wu Zhen flew out, rolled several times on the ground, and then hit the wall of the corridor before stopping.

"Dare to sneak attack me? You guy is looking for death." He reacted instantly, and then anger burned in his heart, subconsciously wanting to stand up and do it.

"Wu Zhen, be careful." Someone suddenly exclaimed a reminder.

Suddenly, Li Yi's figure again fiercely stuck to his eyes.

Wu Zhen's pupils shrank fiercely, only seeing a knee fiercely hitting his face.

"Bang!"

A dull loud noise, Wu Zhen's nosebleed splashed instantly, his head hit the wall behind him, his whole person's consciousness was blurred, and a wave of intense dizziness hit.

But before he could adapt, another knee strike came.

"I want to kill you... Bang!"

The third knee strike, the fourth... Wu Zhen's consciousness was chaotic, he only felt someone grabbing his hair, constantly using his knees to hit his head heavily.

"Don't, don't hit..."

The intense pain and strong dizziness made him unable to even counterattack, only instinctively raising his hands wanting to stop it.

However, Li Yi was expressionless, grabbing his hair with one hand and hitting heavily with the other.

The powerful physical fitness and astonishing explosion brought by the cultivator made his knees hit Wu Zhen heavily like hammers.

Zhao Xiaoxiao and the others were stunned, silent for a while, and didn't dare to step forward to stop it at all.

At this moment, Li Yi simply didn't look like a person, but like a beast fighting for food, making people feel fear.

Does an honest person get angry?

Or is this the true nature of this guy? ===== CHAPTER 15 =====
