Chapter 138 Interview
"next."
Fary ended his conversation with the human opposite him.
The human in front of him had strong management skills. At the age of less than 20, he had already become a middle-level manager in the civil management department and had been included in the minister's emergency succession list.
Although he is ranked very far down the list, with seven people ahead of him, if he wants to become the minister through emergency succession, something unexpected must happen to the seven people ahead of him, which is basically unlikely. However, this also represents the department's recognition of his ability.
But this person has already been eliminated in Farri's heart. Unless the next few candidates are really bad, this human has no chance.
Born into a poor noble family, he was too obsessed with fame and fortune. Those under his management looked good in terms of various indicators, but that was limited to indicators.
This person does not really care about the people under his management. In his eyes, those mediocre people are just tools for him to meet the targets of his superiors.
Such a person cannot gain recognition from France.
"There's only one last spot left."
The first four believer spots have been confirmed.
The most eye-catching one is a goblin inventor who reinvented the goblin stew, as well as some ancient goblin creations, including the "Goblin Assisted Walking Working Device", or according to the records in the dragons' library, it was also called the "Goblin Lumberjack" during the period when the goblin civilization was prosperous.
This machine, powered by steam and magic, is driven by a goblin. Although it is called a lumberjack, it is only because the most common module installed on this machine is the lumberjack module.
But in fact, this machine can handle almost all types of work, whether it is loading and unloading goods, assembling various other types of goblin-specification machines, or becoming a war machine on the battlefield, all of which can be achieved by adding different modules.
It's just that the goblins prefer the more versatile logging module, which can load and unload as well as cut waste. If they really encounter an enemy, his circular saw with sharpness can easily cut a level 4 warrior in half, including his armor. In the prosperous period of goblin civilization, they generally called dead enemies "cargo 300".
This cargo number is the wood number in their logistics system.
Although the others are not so outstanding, they are all talented. One of them is a goblin wanderer, who has just turned three years old and has already reached level five. He has the bloodline of a warping beast and can open space cracks to move short distances.
Creatures like the Warp Beast, when they grow up, can survive in space cracks and travel long distances. The only pity is that these Warp Beasts have almost no attack capabilities.
As the goblin's strength increases, he will become more and more familiar with the abilities brought by the Warp Beast bloodline, and the defect of the Warp Beast bloodline's lack of offensive power will soon be compensated in this goblin. The goblin inventor has started a new research before, and his description reminds Fary of a weapon called "Flesh Dissolving Gun" in the dragon records.
This weapon is able to penetrate skin and armor and directly dissolve the target's flesh.
Fari was already imagining that this goblin was leaping to various commanding heights through space teleportation, and it would be difficult for the enemy to even rush in front of him. Even when facing an enemy with keen perception and long-range attack capabilities, he could fall into a space crack and wait until the enemy relaxed before delivering a fatal blow.
He would be the best assassin.
"Great master."
The next candidate has come in, and it's an ogre.
The dragon's mighty power spread out and pressed down on the ogre. This was the first hurdle in the interview. Withstanding the pressure and still giving a rational answer was the most basic requirement.
The ogre seemed to feel no pressure at all and waited for Farui to ask questions.
"tell me about yourself."
Farui wanted to know more about these candidates. He didn't want his followers to have big differences with him in terms of ideas. The descendant of the ruined human noble was eliminated because of this. In those thick materials, there were more records of the abilities, levels, deeds, and even family pedigrees of these candidates. It was difficult to see what kind of people these candidates were.
"As you can see, I'm an ogre, nothing special."
Unlike the previous candidates' exaggerated self-introductions, the self-introduction of the ogre in front of him was very simple.
But he is not "nothing special".
He is just four years old now. Among the ogres whose lifespan can basically live to over sixty years old, he is just a young child. However, at this age, he already has a high prestige among the city-state ogres.
Apart from the fact that he already had the strength of level four at his age, more importantly, he could provide the ogres with meat to eat.
The Goblin Chamber of Commerce has a complete system regarding labor. The Chamber of Commerce's top brass knows very well that if they want their subordinates to work hard, they have to pay a sufficient price, whether it's money or honor, they have to make their subordinates feel a sense of achievement.
However, in order to make their "projects" more cost-effective, middle-level managers often try their best to avoid paying these costs. They will lower wages as much as possible, or even underreport the actual number of workers, letting one person do the work of two or three people, or not report overtime after their subordinates work overtime.
The ogres, whose intelligence is roughly the same as that of a five-year-old human child, have become the group that suffers the most from this kind of exploitation. Their IQ is often not even enough to understand the current situation of their oppression, let alone resist. "At least they can fill their stomachs." For these ogres, life is still passable.
But even so, the high-intensity exploitation caused the morale of the ogre workers to decline and their work efficiency began to drop.
The young ogre in front of him was the first ogre who knew how to use the rules. He read the entire thick city-state code compiled by the local Spirit Chamber of Commerce, and then wrote a 50,000-word report on the employment environment of ogres.
This report appeared on the desks of the ministers of the Chamber of Commerce when they were worried about the reduced efficiency of the ogre workers.
"Why did you want to write that report?"
Because of his code, he was ostracized by the middle-level supervisors for a long time. If it weren't for someone more perceptive in the upper echelons of the Chamber of Commerce who discovered his situation, he would have almost starved to death in his own mud house.
"Because if this continues, the ogres may lose their position in the city-state. I have heard from my elders about the days that the ogres once lived, and I don't want my family to go back to that kind of life."
Fary nodded. Although the ogre in front of him didn't talk much, it was obvious that he saw things very clearly. The Chamber of Commerce was a profit-seeking organization. It would not keep idle people. If the efficiency of the ogres continued to decline, and the middle-level managers continued to cover up the problems for their own selfish interests, in this case, the top management would not be able to determine the source of the problem. A more economical way would be to replace them.
Ogres are not the only race suitable for labor on this continent.
"Why believe in me?"
Fari liked the ogre in front of him very much, so he jumped directly to the last question.
The white line carrying faith on the ogre's head is very thick, which shows that he has a firm belief in Farui.
"Because of our faith, you have given us meat to eat, a house to live in, and a promising future."
It was still such a plain answer, and Fari liked this kind of answer. Although there were still a few candidates behind him, Fari felt that he could go home from get off work.
"Okay, call your team leader in."
