Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Huanle Group
After leaving, the five of them got into a hover car. Once Lin Jingjing sent the friend request, the person quickly accepted.
[What kind of work are you looking for, sweetie?]
[I’ve got all kinds of jobs here.]
After sending those two messages, the person immediately sent over several pictures.
They were all high-paying jobs, promising four thousand Star Coins for a single day’s work.
The work was simple, easy, and quick to learn.
The group looked at the pictures the person sent. ’It’s amazing anyone would fall for such an obvious scam.’
’If you actually believe this, you’re just waiting to be lured in and killed.’
"You can’t trust high-paying jobs like this," Gu Kaiwen sighed. "Believe them, and you’ll end up getting your kidneys harvested."
Feng He urged her, "Sister Lin, reply to him."
Lin Jingjing nodded. After tapping away on her screen, she sent a message.
[What’s the fastest way to make money you’ve got? There are five of us siblings, and we desperately need Star Coins. Our uncle is sick, and we need a lot of money to cure him.]
Watching Lin Jingjing spin such a blatant lie, the others couldn’t help but laugh.
Mo Xuan looked at the message and asked curiously, "So who’s this uncle we need to spend money to save?"
Shi Feng answered immediately, "It’s Captain Li!"
Lin Jingjing nodded. It was indeed Captain Li.
"Hahaha, Captain Li has suddenly transformed into our uncle," Gu Kaiwen chortled.
Just then, the person on the other end replied to Lin Jingjing.
[I have one. There’s a job here that pays over five thousand Star Coins a day, but it requires a small price.]
[If you’re concerned about that, I also have slower jobs that don’t require any price.]
Lin Jingjing saw this. ’No, that won’t do. We need the one that requires a price.’
’If we don’t pay a price, why would they be willing to take us to their so-called laboratory?’
"We have to go for the one that requires a price. If we don’t, how will we know if they’re really trying to bait us?"
"Right, we need the one with a price," Feng He agreed emphatically.
Lin Jingjing started typing and sent off her message.
The person replied to Lin Jingjing immediately.
[Of course, of course. When do you plan on starting?]
[We only hold job positions for three days. You have to report for duty in three days at the latest. If you don’t, the position will be given to someone else.]
[So you need to give me an answer quickly, okay?]
It was followed by a cute little emoji, designed to put people at ease.
The person also sent some pictures of the living accommodations, which looked fantastic.
Two-person rooms, large bathrooms, everything included. They wouldn’t have to do anything but work hard and create value for the company.
"Tsk, tsk, these accommodations look really nice," Feng He remarked, smacking his lips. Mo Xuan, next to him, added, "When we get there, it’ll be a big iron cage holding a dozen people."
Thinking back to the people in that large iron cage at Hong Fei Park, they knew it was true.
[The company benefits are all excellent. Once you’re here, all you have to do is work hard.]
Lin Jingjing quickly asked a question.
[What’s your company’s name?]
[Huanle Group Co., Ltd.]
Mo Xuan was quick on the uptake. He had already opened his Star Ring and started searching for the company name.
Huanle Group Co., Ltd. was a company that researched pharmaceuticals and treatments. The conglomerate’s businesses were spread throughout the entire Empire.
No, throughout the entire galaxy.
Other nations also had subsidiaries belonging to this Huanle Group.
Their products included, but were not limited to, commonly used Recovery Potions, Nutrient Liquids, medical instruments, human gene repair serums, and more...
In short, the company researched and developed drugs for all kinds of human diseases, and the effects of their products were surprisingly good.
On the Huanle Company’s official website, they found the group’s founder—no, it would be more accurate to say its leader.
He controlled forty percent of Huanle Company’s shares and held unilateral veto power.
Looking at the leader’s photo, they couldn’t help but think he looked a bit too young.
The average lifespan here was 250 years, and some wealthy people lived even longer.
But looking at the photo, this leader seemed to be only in his fifties.
In this era, one’s fifties was considered quite young.
It was incredible that he was in charge of such a powerful company at such a young age.
"Something’s not right," Shi Feng said, looking completely baffled after reading about Huanle Company. "This Huanle Company is a dream company for everyone. The pay is high, and the benefits are great."
"An employee there earns as many Star Coins in one year as a normal person earns in two. How could a legitimate company like this be involved in something so heinous?"
Shi Feng couldn’t figure it out, and neither could the other four.
Just then, the person sent another video.
It was a video explaining Huanle Company.
"Do you feel lost about your future? Do you feel like you have nowhere to go after graduation? Do you feel like you want to earn Star Coins but don’t know where to start..."
Listening to the opening lines, the five of them fell silent.
’Okay, okay, this Huanle Company is sounding more and more like a scam operation.’
A conglomerate that spanned the entire galaxy was actually a scam operation.
This reminded Lin Jingjing of an apocalypse movie she had seen in her past life. The Umbrella Corporation in it was also just as formidable.
None of them were really listening to the video. Their minds were a chaotic mess.
Not until the video ended, with the final line announcing the company’s name.
"Huanle Group Co., Ltd. welcomes you."
It was obvious. This "Huanle" was a knockoff, using a different character with the same pronunciation to ride the coattails of the real one.
Too bad no one heard that line. The five of them were all preoccupied, wondering how they were going to investigate this company.
After all, a company that had grown so large and powerful, spanning the entire galaxy, would be incredibly difficult to take down.
The hover car stopped in front of a hotel. The five of them got out one by one and went inside.
Captain Li had arranged this accommodation for them. Their actual office space wouldn’t be completed until tomorrow.
So for today, they had to make do with staying here.
They each went back to their rooms to lie down and rest, but none of them could fall asleep.
Because this was going to be a tough fight.
They needed to figure out a plan. Lying in bed, Lin Jingjing stared at the ceiling and let out a deep sigh.
’This is so frustrating.’
But it was just frustration. Since Yun Yiyou had entrusted them with this mission, they would see it through and expose this organization that treated people as less than human.
"Lin Jingjing, you can do this!" She sat up in bed and gave herself a very serious pep talk.
"You’re the best!"
After pumping herself up, Lin Jingjing went to the bathroom to take a shower.
The operation would begin the day after tomorrow. She needed to rest up and be ready.
Lin Jingjing took off her Star Ring and set it aside, then started her shower.
Just then, the Star Ring pushed a news alert to her.
