"The end of the play!"

"I mean, sir, the movie is over and you should leave."

A polite voice suddenly interrupted Shen Qiu's thoughts and brought him back to reality.

Shen Qiu raised his head slightly and looked at the short-haired woman in navy blue work clothes standing next to him, then slowly stood up and replied in a slightly dull voice.

"Feel sorry."

"It's okay, you're welcome to come next time."

The young waitress in front of him said with a professional and polite smile.

Shen Qiu put his hands in his pockets and walked out silently.

Soon he arrived at the entrance of the cinema.

The drizzle of rain continued to fall, washing the spotless ground, and gusts of cold wind blew past.

The busy streets are filled with pedestrians holding umbrellas and hurrying by.

Shen Qiu stood there, gazing at the scenery in the rain, his expression a little dazed.

Buzz~

At this time, Shen Qiu felt a vibration in his pocket.

Shen Qiu reached out and took out his black smartphone, turned it on, and a message popped up.

"Dear Mr. Shen Qiu, congratulations on your resume, which has passed the preliminary review. Please go to Shengyuan Building for an interview at 2 pm. We look forward to seeing you..."

After Shen Qiu finished reading this message and was about to exit the interface, another message popped up.

"Dear Mr. Shen Qiu, your psychological counseling appointment has been approved at 10 am tomorrow, March 24, 3020. Please arrive on time. If there are any special circumstances, please contact us in advance..."

After reading it, Shen Qiu closed the text message interface, walked to the convenience service point next to him, swiped the sensing area with his mobile phone, and reached out to take out a public umbrella.

A prompt immediately pops up on the electronic display screen at the convenience service point.

"Hongmeng·Third Administrative District·Mr. Shen borrowed an umbrella. Please return it to any service point within 24 hours."

Shen Qiu opened his umbrella, walked onto the street, and headed towards a tall blue square office building not far away.

Various commercial advertisements and news are constantly displayed on the walls of the buildings along the way.

"Love beauty, use the Senyue skin care water to moisturize your… "

"The 42nd Plenary Session of the Red League came to a successful conclusion yesterday..."

The planet where Shen Qiu was now was called Blue Star. The country he was in was called the Red Alliance, which was divided into eight administrative regions. The higher the ranking of an administrative region, the more prosperous and powerful it was, and of course the pressure of survival also doubled.

There are eight huge cities within the eight administrative regions of the Red League system, with countless residential areas scattered along the outskirts of the cities.

Although these eight administrative regions all belong to the Red League, the relationship between them is very loose.

Not long after, Shen Qiu arrived at the entrance of Shengyuan Building. The entire building is more than 500 meters high, with a total height of about 120 floors. The exterior glass curtain wall is dark blue, and the towering golden door is open. Ten security guards are guarding it in two rows, which is very impressive.

"Sir, this is Shengyuan Group, who are you?"

A security guard saw Shen Qiu approaching and walked up to him and asked.

"I'm here for an interview."

Shen Qiu briefly explained the purpose of his visit.

"Please show me the invitation information."

After listening to this, the security guard said professionally.

Shen Qiu took out his cell phone and showed the interview invitation information.

"Please follow me."

After confirming the information, the security guard took Shen Qiu inside.

Shen Qiu followed the security guard into the building. He looked around and saw that the lobby on the first floor was 12 meters high. The floor was paved with natural sea rocks. The surface texture was very beautiful and high-end. The wall decorations and lamps around it were also very high-end. It could be seen that Shengyuan Group was very financially strong.

Shen Qiu looked along the way and was soon taken to the waiting area on the fifth floor by security.

There were dozens of strong male applicants sitting here. They all raised their heads and looked at the newcomer Shen Qiu vigilantly.

However, seeing his sparse and ordinary physique, everyone turned their eyes away and no longer paid attention to him.

Shen Qiu quietly found a seat by the side and sat down.

At this time, a staff member came over and shouted.

"Mr. Zhang Kui."

"exist!"

A big man who was interviewing the interviewer stood up and shouted quickly.

"It's your turn."

"OK."

The man named Zhang Kui walked nervously towards the office door not far away with his resume in his pocket.

Shen Qiu slowly closed his eyes and waited quietly.

Time passes by little by little.

One by one, the interviewees went in with high spirits, but finally came out dejected like eggplants hit by frost.

Finally it was Shen Qiu's turn. After hearing the call, he stood up and walked towards the interview room.

After entering the office, the sensor door behind me closed automatically.

Shen Qiu took a quick look at the entire office. The office was very spacious, decorated in gray, and did not have too many decorations.

There was only a long interview table in the middle.

The chairs on both sides of the interview table are at slightly different heights, so the interviewer can naturally look down on the interviewee, creating a certain sense of psychological oppression.

"You must be Mr. Shen Qiu, please take a seat!"

A capable woman in a white shirt, a black miniskirt, her hair tied up, and a good figure spoke.

"Thanks."

Shen Qiu walked to the interview seat and sat down.

"Introduce myself. I am Zhang Yue, deputy director of the human resources department of Shengyuan Group. If there are no questions, we can start the interview. Please show us your detailed resume."

As Zhang Yue spoke, he did not forget to look Shen Qiu up and down at his appearance and attire.

She found that although Shen Qiu's appearance was not very handsome, he had clear features, a calm complexion, deep eyes, and he was very decent in his black sports casual wear. He exuded a very special temperament, which gave her a very good first impression.

Shen Qiu took out a resume and handed it to Zhang Yue, then sat back.

Zhang Yue flipped open Shen Qiu's detailed resume and read it carefully.

Shen Qiu

Age: 28

Gender: Male

Native place: Resident of the Third Administrative District of Hongmeng.

Graduated from: St. Paul's University.

Hobbies: extreme sports, kendo, free fighting…

Zhang Yue's eyes lit up when she looked at Shen Qiu's resume, and she spoke.

"Mr. Shen Qiu, I see it's written here that you love all kinds of extreme sports. Can you tell me more about it?"

"Yes, I like extreme sports very much, and I have conquered the Twelve Death Gods Project many times. You can look at the back of my resume for details."

Shen Qiu replied calmly.

Zhang Yue was also surprised when she heard Shen Qiu say this, and she immediately turned to the back.

"April 2, 3012, A.D., I won the Twelve Death Gods Project: Aerial Freedom Wingsuit Glider Conqueror."

"Anno 3013, January 9, won the Twelve Death Gods Project: Snow Mountain Speed Skating Conqueror."

"On March 8, 3016, I won the Twelve Death Gods Project: Free Solo Rock Climbing Conqueror."

"Anno 3018, December 4th, won the Twelve Death Gods Speed Race Championship."

Shen Qiu, the player who has cleared the most Twelve Death God projects in history, is known as Yixiao.

Zhang Yue was so shocked when he saw these challenge records that he could hardly close his mouth.

However, when Zhang Yue's eyes fell on the last note in the resume, his brows frowned slightly.
