Chapter 122 The Tenth Floor Boss is Giving Out Perks!
Night fell.
In the corridor of the Fourth Floor.
Su Ze sat on the only chair, with ten people standing before him.
Besides the six familiar faces—Wang Meng, Zhuang Qianhao, Xu Feng, Liu Yuanfang, Qiao Yunfeng, and Chen Xueming—there were four newcomers.
One was a short but exceptionally sturdy fat man, looking like a mountain of flesh.
One was a young man with regular features, even somewhat handsome, with a gentle temperament, appearing very steady as he stood there.
One was a refined, shrewd-looking middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
The last one wore designer clothes, carrying an air of pampered privilege in every gesture.
These ten people were the leaders Su Ze had tentatively appointed to command the First Floor through the Tenth Floor.
Su Ze's knuckles gently tapped the armrest, breaking the silence.
"Everyone, report your respective situations."
Zhuang Qianhao from the First Floor stepped forward first, his voice booming.
"Boss! First Floor Dormitory 111 landlord, Zhuang Qianhao! As of now, the First Floor has recruited a total of 1,786 people!"
After speaking, he respectfully handed over a compiled list.
Immediately after, the mountain-like fat man took a step forward and spoke in a muffled, heavy voice.
"Boss, I am the Second Floor Dormitory 288 landlord, Pang Bai. On my side... I've recruited 798 people."
His voice sounded a bit lacking in confidence.
After all, the difference from Zhuang Qianhao's numbers was not just a little bit.
Wang Meng followed closely, a confident smile on his face.
"Boss, 3rd Floor-333, Wang Meng, a total of 1,411 people recruited!"
This number caused another small commotion.
Wang Meng was also very satisfied.
Although his numbers weren't as high as Zhuang Qianhao's, the strength of those under his command was generally higher.
When it was Liu Yuanfang's turn, she stepped forward, her voice clear and crisp.
"Boss, Fourth Floor Dormitory 444 landlord, Liu Yuanfang!"
"Because the girls are sticking together... currently, we have recruited a total of 3,946 female players."
Boom!
When this number came out, the breathing of every man present except Su Ze hitched for a moment.
Three thousand nine hundred and forty-six!
And they were all women!
Even Wang Meng and Zhuang Qianhao's expressions changed as they looked at Liu Yuanfang.
They had worked themselves to the bone, showing off their strength and promising benefits, yet combined, they didn't have as many as a single girl?
But thinking about it, it was reasonable.
After all, among the leaders, she was the only female player.
It was normal for female players to prefer joining her side.
Next, the handsome young man Wu Hailong stepped forward.
"Boss Su Ze, I am the representative of the Fifth Floor, Wu Hailong. The situation on our side is quite complex, so everyone elected me to come forward."
"Currently, we have integrated a total of 871 people."
The middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses, Luo Shengyuan, also followed with his report.
"Boss, I am the Sixth Floor Dormitory 677 landlord, Luo Shengyuan. Before the apocalypse, I was in the school's finance department. There are several teachers in my Dormitory as well. Thanks to everyone's respect, I have temporarily gathered 782 people."
Tang Jing, who looked like a wealthy young master, also spoke, his attitude quite humble.
"Boss Su Ze, I am Tang Jing from Seventh Floor Dormitory 741. My family used to do a bit of small business, and people gave me face. I also have two bodyguards in my Dormitory. Currently, 846 people are willing to follow me."
When it was Xu Feng's turn, he took a deep breath and stepped out.
"Boss, Eighth Floor 811, Xu Feng, with 871 men under my command."
This number wasn't low, but Xu Feng knew in his heart that it was far from what he had expected.
Chen Xueming pushed his glasses and handed over the list expressionlessly.
"Ninth Floor 985, Chen Xueming. I only recruit technical talents with special skills or high IQ. Currently, there are 678 people."
Finally, it was Qiao Yunfeng.
He clenched his fists, feeling his palms sweating, and his voice was a bit strained.
"Boss... I am Qiao Yunfeng from Tenth Floor Dormitory 100. I... I have 884 people on my side."
After the reporting was finished, ten lists were neatly placed in front of Su Ze.
Su Ze nodded in satisfaction and put the lists into his backpack.
"Very good."
He stood up and scanned the ten people before him.
"Now, return immediately and upgrade all the Dormitory doors of every member under your command."
"I will provide the materials. The copper coins consumed will be temporarily charged to your accounts, to be paid back slowly later."
"Yes! Boss!"
Everyone responded in unison, their faces showing excitement.
This was an incredibly grand gesture!
Uniformly upgrading the Dormitory doors—with this, the loyalty of their subordinates would be completely solidified!
Moreover, once word got out, other players who hadn't joined would immediately see the benefits, and they might join one after another.
"Go!"
Su Ze waved his hand and took out a large amount of materials from his player backpack.
He wasn't afraid of losing out; this was an investment.
As long as they collectively cleared zombies for him the next day, the copper coins obtained would naturally far exceed the current expenditure.
The ten people immediately turned and left quickly, carrying excitement and a heavy sense of pressure.
Watching their departing figures disappear into the stairwell, Su Ze's face showed no ripples.
Among these ten people, there were those like Wang Meng, Zhuang Qianhao, and Pang Bai who rose through personal martial prowess.
There were also those like Tang Jing who were supported because of their pre-apocalypse status and generosity.
There were also calculating ones like Luo Shengyuan, and elected representatives like Wu Hailong.
Their backgrounds were all different, and their abilities had different focuses.
But Su Ze didn't care.
As long as they could work for him and manage their subordinates well, it was enough.
Currently, the one with the most people was Liu Yuanfang.
This wasn't surprising.
In an apocalypse, women were naturally a vulnerable group and would instinctively gravitate toward a powerful leader who was also female.
Under his suggestion, the Fourth Floor had almost become a Kingdom of Women.
As the main force for protecting his women, Su Ze had long intended to entrust her with heavy responsibilities.
Next were Wang Meng and Zhuang Qianhao.
These two were the first to follow him; they were strong, smart, and well-known.
It was only natural they could recruit so many people.
As for Chen Xueming...
This guy was a tech geek who stuck to his principles. His recruitment criteria were strict, so it was reasonable that he had the fewest people.
However, as the only technical talent under his command, he could be given more important tasks.
As for Xu Feng,
His character was reliable, and Su Ze admired his integrity.
He should have the ability, but he was limited by the current situation; however, he would likely rise in the future.
And Qiao Yunfeng, given his relationship with his sister Qiao Yunge and Su Ze...
He could also be given more opportunities to see how he performs.
These six people, along with Zhou Kai who was hidden in the shadows, were considered his future core team.
Of course, even for a core team, when it came to absolute trust...
Su Ze chuckled inwardly.
Never mind them, even with the six women around him like Jiang Yuwan and Qiao Yunge, he always maintained a sliver of wariness.
In this apocalypse, the only person he could trust 100% was himself.
As for the four newcomers, Pang Bai, Wu Hailong, Luo Shengyuan, and Tang Jing...
He would observe them a bit longer.
Meanwhile, because of Su Ze's actions, countless players on the Public Channel were in an uproar...
