55: Chapter 55 Exaggeration 55: Chapter 55 Exaggeration It wasn’t long before they got on the suspended intercity expressway, and Su Mo, sitting high and looking down through the car window, curiously observed the city.
The streets were bustling with people coming and going, and various shops had opened their doors early, with a large number of people gathered at the entrances of many breakfast eateries.
Of course, there were also many 24-hour automatic vending stores, but they weren’t as popular as those with human staff.
The whole city seed full of vitality and life.
Zi Qing was driving while talking to Su Mo, “If ti allows, you can commute with our car.
However, if you’re short on ti, you’ll need to take the subway or a taxi, and the normal commute is at least forty minutes.”
“Okay,”
Su Mo responded while looking at the bustling views outside.
“You must be from a small place, right?”
Zi Qing asked lightly when she saw how engrossed Su Mo was in looking outside.
“Yeah.”
Su Mo didn’t explain much, although he had co from Demon City, he had always lived in urban villages which were not much different from small towns.
“Imperial City is not like other places; it is prosperous but also full of temptations.
Of course, the cost of living here is also high, and not everyone can stay.
However, it is also full of opportunities, where many have found chances to change their lives, and others have crashed and burned.”
Zi Qing ntioned this to Su Mo in a casual but reminding manner.
Unfortunately, Su Mo didn’t react much, either he didn’t understand, or it was sothing else.
Soon, Zi Qing drove up to the headquarters of Dawn Group, and Su Mo was stunned by the building in front of him, completely captivated.
In the precious land of Imperial City, the headquarters of Dawn Group occupied such a large plot of land, and had constructed fourteen skyscrapers in a circular arrangent.
The central one reached a kiloter high.
There was also a building shaped like an eggshell behind the skyscrapers.
All along the way, there were security checkpoints, all manned by guards in black suits, with sunglasses on their eyes and communication devices in their ears.
Zi Qing drove into the B3 entrance and quickly parked the car.
She introduced Su Mo, “This is the base of Dawn Guild.
The 600-ter-tall building in front is the office of our 10th Legion, where we work.
The other buildings are for other Legions.
Rember, don’t run around without good reason.
Although we are all part of the sa guild, internal relations can be very delicate.”
“Okay.
But such a big place, is it all for Dawn Guild?”
“Yes!”
“This, I don’t quite understand.
To play a ga, is such a huge investnt worth it?”
Su Mo asked out of curiosity.
The scale was beyond exaggeration.
In the past, a gaming guild setting up a studio was impressive enough, and even forming a company could be understood.
But what he saw in front of him was more than a dozen corporate skyscrapers!
All for the sake of playing a ga?
It was hard to comprehend.
They quickly arrived in front of the building.
By this ti, a girl with pink curly hair, wearing the guild’s uniform and chewing on a lollipop, was already standing at the entrance.
“Zhou Qian.”
Zi Qing greeted her.
“Sister Zi Qing, you’ve finally arrived.
I’ve been waiting for half a day.
Hand him over to .”
“Okay, Su Mo, this is your colleague.
Just follow her.”
Zi Qing turned to Su Mo and said.
“Okay, thank you.”
Su Mo nodded.
“Co with ; this is your Identity Card, hang it around your neck.
Rember not to take it off during work hours.
Without this card, you won’t be able to move an inch in here.”
Zhou Qian led Su Mo into the building, passing him an Identity Card at the sa ti.
Su Mo took it and, looking at the Identity Card with his photo on it, found it more and more amusing.
At the entrance of the building, there were dedicated gates for passage, and every employee arriving for work would swipe their Identity Card through the machine to enter.
After the two entered, Zhou Qian led Su Mo into an elevator and began to introduce the working environnt.
“This building has a total of 200 floors.
The higher the floor, the more prestigious the position of the people working there.
You are now part of the Land Combat Elite Team and can access up to the 30th floor.
Any higher and you won’t be allowed.
After you get on the elevator, you have to swipe your Identity Card on the sensor area above the floor buttons.
Floors 2 to 10 are the United Battle Halls, and floors 11 to 20 are the employee cafeteria.
If you get hungry later, you can co down to eat at any ti.
During work periods, the company provides als.”
“Okay.”
Su Mo nodded.
Zhou Qian pressed for the 22nd floor.
The elevator rose at an extrely fast pace and quickly arrived at the 22nd floor.
As the elevator doors opened, employees carrying various docunts hurried back and forth.
Most of them were vibrant and young won, but there were also a good number of male employees, just fewer in comparison.
When they saw Zhou Qian, they all greeted her.
“Sister Qian!”
“Sister Qian, you’re here.”
…..
However, when they saw Su Mo, their expressions changed.
So outright ignored him with an indifferent coldness, while others’ eyes revealed annoyance.
In other words, they were very unwelcoming towards Su Mo.
Although Zhou Qian also felt it, she didn’t say anything.
After all, due to this guy, several of her colleagues had suffered.
Fortunately, everybody restrained their dissatisfaction.
Su Mo certainly noticed it too, but he didn’t say anything.
He had been ntally prepared for this.
Zhou Qian led Su Mo to a spacious office where young n and won sat laughing and talking.
When they saw Zhou Qian and Su Mo walking in, the laughter and chatter stopped abruptly.
Very in sync, they all minded their own business, not bothering to look up at Su Mo.
This was another form of exclusion, but unfortunately for them, Su Mo didn’t feel out of place at all.
He actually preferred the feeling of being ignored.
Zhou Qian said to Su Mo, “There is a ti clock over there.
You need to record your fingerprint later.
When you co to work, you will use your fingerprint to check in here.
That corner desk over there is your spot, where you’ll be working from now on.”
“Okay.”
Su Mo looked at the empty corner spot and was very satisfied with how quiet it seed.
“Follow .”
Zhou Qian walked forward, and Su Mo quickly followed.
“This is the Star Ring Ga login room.
All the machines are open for use, and everyone can use them freely.
There are no fixed spots.
However, you need to pay attention to one thing—the machine rooms are divided by gender.
Don’t go into the wrong one.
Of course, if you can get promoted to a senior executive, you’ll get a private room.”
…..
As Su Mo listened to Zhou Qian’s introduction, he looked into the machine room.
Inside, it was filled with gaming helts paired with space massage chairs, with configurations similar to the standard machines in Star Ga Cafe.
Zhou Qian took Su Mo back around to the elevator, and the two got in.
She pressed for the 26th floor.
“Where are we going now?”
Su Mo asked with a hint of curiosity.
