133: Chapter 133: Even the civil service exam wasn't this difficult!

The labor reform mining area was in full swing.

At the Red Wolf Army camp, Lu Yuan wasn't idle either.

Since he had used that Purple Grade blueprint yesterday to upgrade the guild to level seven, the total population limit had been raised directly to 300,000.

There was naturally no reason to waste those 95,000 empty slots.

In this danger-ridden all-zone map, strength in numbers was the absolute truth!

Lu Yuan opened the system panel and posted the recruitment announcement directly on the World Zone's public channel.

[Red Wolf Guild Expansion Announcement!]

[Recruitment Number: 95,000 people.]

[Recruitment Requirements: Only white-named players with no malicious PK points! Come in and follow orders; room, board, and assignments provided!]

[Extra Note: Players from Zone C-72 preferred, red vehicles preferred!]

As soon as this announcement was sent out...

The public channel of the entire World Zone first fell into a deathly silence for a second.

Immediately after,

it was like a ladle of cold water splashed into a pan of boiling oil; the situation instantly exploded!

Especially the white-named players of Zone C-72, who were in the same large sector as the Red Wolf Guild—their eyes turned red with envy!

What kind of existence was the Red Wolf Guild?

That was a top-tier powerhouse that had just rubbed the Management Committee into the ground, shattered an Abyss Lord with a single shot, and whose members were practically all gods of slaughter!

Being able to join such a guild, let alone surviving the apocalypse, was practically coming to the wasteland world to enjoy life!

"Charge! Brothers, the time to test your hand speed has come!"

"My hand speed from being single for thirty years must be put to use today!"

"Boss Red Wolf, pick me! I can warm beds, cook, and even drive a tank with one hand!"

In less than three seconds,

the 95,000 guild slots had their application threshold completely overwhelmed by the frantic influx of white-named players!

The system's approval notification sounds rang in Lu Yuan's ears like a dense buzz.

Three seconds.

300,000 full capacity!

Those players who snatched a spot were so excited outside the camp that they howled at the sky and hugged each other, even crazier than if they had won a five-million-dollar lottery before transmigrating.

"Hahaha! I'm in! I'm officially part of the establishment now!"

"Thank the heavens! Thank you, Boss Red Wolf! I never have to eat mutant rats in the wild again!"

And those players who missed out because their reaction was a second too slow or their hands shook collapsed on the spot.

Looking at the gray [This guild is full] notification before them,

countless people knelt in the mud, beating their chests and stomping their feet, crying their eyes out.

A large number of people who didn't get a spot went straight to the world's public channel to complain frantically.

"Waaaah... just a little bit more! I even had my application letter written!"

"This is too dark! It's too competitive!"

"I just went to the damn bathroom, and 95,000 spots are gone?!"

"These damn Red Wolf Guild spots are a hundred times more competitive than the civil service exams back then!!!"

As the Red Wolf Guild reached its full capacity of 300,000,

the world's public channel was filled not only with sounds of regret and wailing but also a wave of sour, jealous noises.

In this dog-eat-dog apocalypse, there were plenty of players who were jealous of others' success.

Several higher-ups from Red Name guilds in other super zones, seeing the Red Wolf Guild taking all the spotlight, couldn't help but speak sarcastically on the public channel.

"Heh, so what if there are 300,000 people? Just a bunch of rabble."

"Exactly, what's the use of recruiting so many white-named solo players? In the late game, they'll all be damn cannon fodder!"

"300,000 mouths—the daily food consumption alone could drag the guild to death."

"I bet they won't last three days before they start infighting, killing each other for food!"

"Stop acting like such a big shot; do you really think having many people means you can walk all over the Doomsday Highway?"

As soon as these sour-grapes comments appeared,

there was no need for higher-ups like Lu Yuan and Lin Zihao to step in personally.

The group of newcomers who had just joined the Red Wolf Guild and were in a state of extreme excitement and fanaticism were immediately displeased.

The new members were just worrying about having nowhere to show their loyalty, and now they had finally caught an opportunity.

They directly started a frantic keyboard warrior battle on the world's public channel!

"Keep being sour! I can smell your pathetic jealousy through the screen!"

"Calling us cannon fodder? Saying we can't afford to eat?"

"I just received a large bowl of white rice with an added egg from the guild this morning!"

"Have you hicks even seen what rice looks like?!"

"Cannon fodder? I don't mind telling you, the Red Wolf Guild is currently the guild with the lowest mortality rate!"

"Our track record is verifiable!"

"If you're not convinced, send your coordinates! See how our Red Wolf Army of 300,000 will level your camp!"

The newcomers even posted screenshots of the excellent equipment they received and photos of their white rice directly on the public channel.

This wave of direct confrontation immediately shut up those sour-grapes players.

The new members of the Red Wolf Guild were arrogant to the extreme at this moment.

That feeling of invincibility and having a powerful backer made them wish they could find some blind villain to practice on right now.

However,

a sudden change occurred!

The originally gray wasteland sky was suddenly completely shrouded by a layer of dark red bloody light so thick it wouldn't dissipate.

"Rumble—!"

From deep within the clouds came bursts of dull and oppressive thunder.

The airflow in the entire World Center seemed to have stagnated.

At this moment, every player's system panel popped up uncontrollably and forcefully!

The chat records that were frantically scrolling on the world's public channel were forcibly cleared.

In their place was a majestic, cold system sky screen broadcast carrying endless pressure!

[All Zone C Sky Screen Broadcast!]

[Congratulations to the Red Wolf Guild; current official member count has reached: 300,000!]

[Current Guild Comprehensive Strength Rating: Lv.7!]

[Climbed to the top of the Zone Rankings!]

[Current Guild Level is: Number One in the Human Faction!]

Seeing the first few broadcasts,

the newcomers of the Red Wolf Guild became even more excited, their chests puffing out high.

Number one in the Human Faction!

What an honor!

But,

the blood-red characters on the sky screen did not stop flashing.

Immediately after, a blood-red warning popped up, instantly dousing the fanaticism above everyone's heads!

[Warning!]

[The rapid expansion of the Red Wolf Guild's scale and the abnormal surge in its strength have seriously disrupted the energy balance of the World Center!]

[Your expansion behavior has attracted the collective attention of the Abyss Lords!]

[Abyss Gaze status activated!]

[Wishing you... good luck.]

Dead silence.

Absolute silence.

The new members who were just frantically shouting on the world's public channel and threatening to crush all who were unconvinced,

now looked at those bloody characters in the sky.

Their fingers typing on the keyboards instantly froze in mid-air.

The smugness and arrogance on their faces completely solidified into a ghost-seeing terror.

What's the situation?!

We've already been targeted by an Abyss Lord?!

And from the system's meaning, it's not just one, but multiple Abyss Lords?!

The newcomers gulped, feeling a chill run down their backs.

We just started our first day on the job and just had a bite of white rice!

Are we going to face the world's ultimate boss melee directly?!
