"What's your name? How old are you? Is there anything you're good at? "
"Do you have any bad hobbies? Are you a spy? "
"Do you play games? You don't? That's great! I'm a member of the Game Church. No, no, I'm not being sarcastic. I've had enough of those gaming addicts. "
Rorschach's job wasn't difficult at all. All he had to do was ask the "candidates" questions that he had prepared beforehand.
Lies were useless in front of him. Spies and hostile individuals were instantly exposed. Even so, Rorschach's progress was still quite slow.
Although he kept joking about human trafficking, the stowaways were actually treated quite well. After all, they had managed to survive a life-and-death situation to reach this place, which already proved some things … at the very least, they were quite lucky.
It was just like at a job fair. Rorschach only needed to state his requirements, and there would be an endless stream of people actively trying to sell themselves.
"More than 80% of them are defective products …"
He could still tolerate the defects in their abilities, but he couldn't accept murderers, ambitious schemers, poisoned people who thought they were transmigrating to another world, or Beifeng disciples.
Even if a new church lacked everything, and he could still accept low-quality products and rookies, he couldn't accept such bombs that he didn't know how to detonate at any moment.
Rorschach gnashed his teeth as he looked at the devil salesperson who was leading the way. The salesperson seemed so eager to please Rorschach.
It wasn't that there weren't any good products here. Rorschach's simple words would tell him that there were "stowaways" of even better quality. It was just that the salesperson was obviously unwilling to take him there.
"These floors are probably targeted at new churches. They're looking down on me."
That's right, they were looking down on me. In this sort of seller's market, being able to purchase good products required connections and power. In a way, providing a channel for high-quality products was also a type of investment.
These stowaways would definitely be filtered by the devils here. The best products would be given to regular customers and their own allies. The stowaways who remained here probably didn't even know that they had been rejected.
Most New Gods' churches would go through this phase. Typically, they would know that you wouldn't be able to buy anything good at a cheap price, so they would just make do … and then, at a certain point, they would eliminate these low-quality goods, such as giving them certain death missions.
Perhaps from the perspective of the gods, these stowaways who betrayed the Aishi and came to Ansorenne were not only contaminated by the power of Chaos in the lower planes, but they were also no longer of their own race.
Rorschach had learned about all this before coming here. However, he was rather disgusted by this method … not only was he disgusted by the church's method, but also by the fact that intelligent lifeforms were treated as expendable goods.
"… Let's take a look then. We can't control others, but at least the Game Church needs capable companions and colleagues, not disposable toilet paper. "
Perhaps it was because she knew what Rorschach was thinking that Lori had asked Rorschach to come here personally.
The result of being too picky and having too good of an eye was that the rewards were far too little. In fact, some of the eliminated stowaways were already pointing at Rorschach, saying things like "How can a noob church have such high standards?", "He doesn't know his place", and "He's so picky that he won't be easy to get along with even if he's selected."
Not only that, but since such rumors spread, even fewer people came here to apply, especially since the other churches didn't reject anyone and even offered better conditions.
Seeing this situation, Rorschach could only smile wryly. He couldn't possibly jump out and say that the other churches were only using them as cannon fodder, and that the extra mercenaries were actually money to buy lives … Even if he said that, nobody would believe him.
After going to four different recruitment spots and setting up four different stalls, they busied themselves for two whole days. In the end, they only managed to fill less than a quarter of the eight hundred spots. This was even after Roxia lowered the recruitment standards.
The other churches had already returned, and even the second batch had arrived. Rorschach had no choice but to let the contractors take the ferry back first while he continued to work here.
However, when the first batch of bills was being paid, there was an unexpected incident.
The funds of the new church were limited, and human resources were also extremely expensive. With a few hundred people, even if it was the devil's intermediary fee, it would still be an astronomical figure (to the Game Church).
Originally, the Game Church, which had invested all its resources into Vila Nova Dônia, had no money, and it was impossible for them to afford it. In fact, it was the same for everyone. Not many people could afford such a huge amount of start-up capital, and even if they could, they wouldn't pay on the spot.
"This is the loan contract, please keep it well."
This was just like buying a house in the past. Even if they could afford it in one go, they would choose to take a loan to buy a house. This was already a customary rule in the market.
It was the same for new churches. Intermediaries like the devil knew that new churches had no money but needed to buy goods, so they had already prepared loan services.
However, they would evaluate each new church and determine a credit limit. The stronger the church, the higher the credit limit.
What surprised Rorschach was the Game Church's and his own credit limit.
"Unlimited, yes, unlimited. You can loan as much as you want. Don't look at me like that. This isn't a lie or a trap. The interest rate provided to you is definitely the lowest. It's almost free!"
At this moment, Rorschach felt that he had entered the wrong door. This wasn't the devil's skinning company, but a charity organization from heaven.
Rorschach flipped through the contract repeatedly. His talent allowed him to confirm that there were no traps. Although the interest rate was still a little high, it was really the lowest when compared to other people who made deals with the devil. It was unbelievably low.
"… Do you think so highly of us? Then why don't you provide us with even better resources? "
Roxia was rather astonished. He really didn't understand these contradictions … which was why he directly asked Roxia about it.
"Of course I think highly of you. But if we provide you with resources that exceed the current standards, that would be helping you. We're all businessmen. It's necessary for us to remain neutral. We can't side with anyone. "
The devil's manager left behind some meaningful words, but no matter what Rorschach asked, he refused to answer.
Instead, the salesperson took out a large number of business brochures and started promoting them to this "rich customer".
[Bro, no matter what the reason is, don't miss out on such a good opportunity … buy, buy, buy!]
However, Rorschach could only smile wryly at his divine sister's excited words.
"Oh, by the way, this unlimited credit limit is set by our Merchant Association. That is to say, most companies approve of it. Other merchants … at the very least, the merchants in our dimensional zone all approve of it."
In the "dimensional zone", the devil's manager even read the brochures again. It seemed that he had long since seen through Rorschach's intentions of shopping around. In fact, he even actively urged Rorschach to go.
"In that case, let's start with two dragons. It's too tiring to walk."
Rorschach joked as he borrowed the brochure. At the very least, he wanted to see what else was worth a loan.
"Alright. Would you like a red dragon, a black dragon, or a Hell dragon? We have a special promotion this month. If you buy an adult dragon, you'll get a dragon saddle for free. "
