Chapter 232

Just like the employee composition problem that Penguin Logistics will face, Rhodes Island, a company that has grown this large, will need to hire even more employees.

It will also inevitably provide many low‑threshold positions.

Rhodes Island intelligent machinery

It's not necessarily about giving artificial intelligence a veneer of 'humanism' by disguising them as pseudo‑humans; rather, it's about employing as many humans and human‑like beings as possible, upholding humanism.

Rhodes Island also aims to let some employees who may have crossed over quickly adapt to the company's environment in this world.

Strive to recreate the company atmosphere of the original Rhodes Island, which was established on land‑ships; the result was opening many artificial positions, and this tradition remains applicable to this day!

Although by the time the company entered its high‑growth phase, the gate connecting to Rhodes Island's original world had already been locked and completed, allowing both staff and the company to return, with no talk of needing to adapt to the world, yet for various reasons—mainly that the cure for Oripathy had been demonstrated—Rhodes Island chose to set up a branch here, and most of the staff (mainly those who also hold other organizational or official positions) also chose to stay.

So that tradition could continue.

But perhaps because Rhodes Island, as a large company, has more talent and tighter management, Aomo hasn't yet seen anyone going crazy on the forum; maybe those who did were fired.

Yes, Aomo has already been browsing other people's forums.

This is probably some kind of publicity tactic… Aomo usually guesses the purpose behind the other party's decision, and then sees things like:

Forget it; if I can't figure it out, there's no need to think about it—it's not work‑related anyway. Aomo gave up quickly, and just a few seconds after giving up, he heard a series of nearby footsteps.

It sounded like five people—two men and three women, one of whom was that nurse from before.

: none.

Aomo turned his head toward the ward entrance and saw a hand knock on the outward‑opening door, then someone stepped into the ward first.

Of course, it's actually not necessary to go through all that trouble.

Boshi Doctor Kairisi Chairperson Amiya Doctor Luoxia Mr. Lindun Asikalun Yuabanlin

Even Doctor Kairi and Chairperson Amiya behind him were the same.

However, the one who spoke first was neither Doctor Luo Xia nor Doctor Kairi, but Chairperson Amiya.

In a rather mature voice: "You've finally woken up, Mr. Linton."

Indeed mature, she looks like a fully grown adult of the same age or even a year or two older.

Think about it—Rhodes Island has been developing here for several years, and the "little rabbit" image from other‑world memories truly can't keep up with the current version.

Even that Suzuran Operator is probably just a blossoming‑age girl, Aomo's mind was racing like a train; although this seems a bit disrespectful, such polite small talk upon first meeting really doesn't require special effort.

Compared to that "first meeting, self‑introduction" where both sides had already read each other's files, Aomo was more concerned about the strange man beside the doctor.

Two Worlds Safety Bureau Executor

From the polite self‑introduction, to thanks for the operation's performance, then concern for the injuries, not a word was mentioned about compensation, making Aomo wonder whether Miss Amiya had turned dark over the years.

Or become a capitalist‑type figure!

But he isn't someone who must passively wait.

Aomo bluntly raised the compensation issue, and the other party answered smoothly, making his earlier suspicion seem petty.

Limb regeneration and nerve reconnection are common technologies in this world, and they are also quite expensive—an expense that cannot be avoided.

As for the remaining amount—Aomo frowned at the compensation sheet, about to ask what the "confidential expenditure" that further shrank his already reduced pay was, when the man suspected to be an Executor of the Two Worlds Safety Bureau pulled a small storage box from his spatial tool.

The familiar rectangular shape made him narrow his eyes, and he instinctively turned his head toward the coat placed on the bedside cabinet.

The link to the monster cards remained; he could easily confirm they were there, and they were still trembling and resonating.

Just like the state of the box in the man's hand right now.

He glanced at Aomo's plaster‑wrapped hand: "Your contribution has received unanimous approval from all participating operators."

"And I am the witness to this transaction." The man resembling an Executor said, gazing at the visibly trembling box in his hand, frowning because the obvious, visible chill and killing intent intertwined.

This reaction is not strange; not everyone is accustomed to this kind of mental oppression and stabbing pain like Aomo.

This thing is like a hot potato; anyone else would have tossed the box away.

The Executor's quality is clearly outstanding; although he frowned, his hand remained steady, and when he looked back at Aomo he showed no personal emotion: "A criminal's tools of crime ought to be confiscated, but since this operation falls within the contract between Rhodes Island and the Two Worlds Safety Bureau, I have been dispatched here to witness this transaction."

"Whether you choose one card or take them all, I will register them legally for you,"

He said, lifting the box lid to reveal three cards lying between the compartments:

"Besides, there's another item you need to look at," as if fearing Aomo would rush to decide, Doctor Luo Xia called to the Executor, "Take that out—he has the right to know, doesn't he?"

"Usually, we don't advise mercenaries to get too involved." Executor said coldly.

"The Two Worlds Safety Bureau of Heaven's Gate City said he had the right to know." Dr. Luo Xia said.

Thus the Executor sighed helplessly, and with the freed palm again formed a rectangular storage box.

Dr. Luo Xia stepped forward, opened the card case for him, revealing the metal cylindrical device that made Aomo's eyes shift.

Compared to the 8-inch impression, it is slightly shorter; the dark red crystal pattern resembling twisted blood vessels also underwent some changes.

But that is beyond doubt—

——it was the 【Secret Key】 he had seen in the Round Valley Exhibition Hall, once held by the Monster Shape King.

It is the key to extract and obtain the power of the 【Monster】.
