The Sword Saint of Arknights [MTL/Machine Translation]

Chapter 12 | Looking for a Job (Part 2)

The headquarters of Penguin Logistics is located on the top floor of a building in Taikoo Square, but the place they requested for the interview is not here; it's a bar near Lungmen's Sunset Boulevard.

Although there is some distance from the Guards Bureau, after taking a taxi and traveling for about 30 minutes, the two arrived here.

At this moment, there are only a few people sitting in the bar. On the other side of the bar is a Liberi, one that looks no different from the penguins in Roy's memory, suggesting he might be the manager of this jazz bar.

At a round table in the corner, a person with a halo on their head and faintly glowing wings, seemingly assembled at random like a tangram, is sitting there. That's a Snakta, and if Roy remembers correctly, this race seems to be very good at using firearms, and people of this race always have firearms with them.

Opposite the Sankta, a Forte girl is sitting there, organizing something that looks like a ledger. From the war hammer and shield placed beside her, it's clear she is heavily armored.

When the two entered the room, these people noticed them. It's clear that these individuals are not ordinary; perhaps they are from Penguin Logistics.

"Sir, we are conducting legitimate business here."

As Roy and Texas arrived at the bar and sat down, the Liberi, resembling a penguin, spoke in a rap-style tone.

"This is not working hours, and I'm just accompanying this lady to an interview. You don't have to worry, boss."

As he finished speaking, Roy pulled over the "menu," browsed through it, pointed to a line, and continued:

"Give me a glass of vodka, and by the way, has no one recommended you to become a rap singer?"

"Hahaha, I didn't expect someone with your discernment among his subordinates."

As he finished speaking, the penguin turned around, took down a beautifully decorated bottle from the shelf, and then took out an exquisite glass from the cabinet below.

After filling the glass, he pushed it in front of Roy.

Although it's impossible to read emotions on his penguin face, from his words and the relaxed atmosphere around him, it seems that the big penguin is in a good mood.

"If you're here for the Penguin Logistics interview, just go find them. As for this drink..."

"Consider it on me."

After saying that, the big penguin returned to his original position, and Roy did not hesitate; he picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp.

Although he drinks, he is not a heavy drinker. His initial attempt at drinking was just to deal with social obligations. Naturally, after finishing this glass, Roy did not pour another.

At this moment, he is pondering the words of the big penguin.

Being able to say that he is a subordinate of someone from the Guards Bureau indicates that person's position is certainly not low, and obviously, this Liberi is not an ordinary person either.

Texas has already followed the big penguin's directions to find the Sankta and the Forte. Now, only Roy and the big penguin are sitting at the bar.

"I didn't expect you to know such a small figure like me..."

"After all, the fact that you refused that guy's invitation has already spread throughout the upper echelons of Lungmen."

"..."

It was an incident that had just happened recently, and now he already knew about it, which is obviously proof of his not-so-simple identity.

As for whether Roy should ask for information about that person?

Until the end, Roy never asked. He is not sure whether the big penguin is on the same side as that person, and of course, asking directly seems somewhat inappropriate.

To get something, one must pay a corresponding price. For those who hold capital, it's that simple. However, Roy has nothing of equal value to exchange, and he does not intend to get information about those leaders from the penguin.

"Boss, we're all set here."

"Then take the newcomer to get familiar with the work environment."

After these words, the two took Texas into the interior of the bar. Now, only Roy and the big penguin are present in this space, at least, apparently only the two of them.

Roy believes that if he shows any hostility, someone will immediately come out to deal with him. Perhaps it won't be to the extent of three hundred axemen, but it would still be troublesome for Roy.

He does not intend to cause any unnecessary trouble.

Since Texas's side is already settled, there is no need for him to stay any lunger.

"Be careful, someone might be against you soon."

Perhaps seeing Roy's intention to leave, the big penguin suddenly said so.

As he stood up, Roy paused for a moment, then continued:

"Thank you for the information, but my life is not so easily taken."

With that, Roy left the bar...

Half an hour later, at the office of the Special Operations Group of the Lungmen Guards Bureau.

At this moment, Chen was sitting in front of the computer, her hands typing rapidly on the keyboard.

Since the end of that incident, Chen had a short holiday, counted in hours, and she had just returned to the Guards Bureau yesterday.

Last night, a vicious incident occurred in Taikoo Square. She had already seen the information related to this incident. To her surprise, Roy was at the scene again, which further strengthened her resolve to recommend Roy to the higher-ups.

No talent should be buried, and now, she would provide Roy with an opportunity.

After double-checking the text on the computer for accuracy, Chen printed it out. Then, she signed her name and wrote down her badge number in the recommender's section below. Next, she took out the official seal of the Special Operations Group from the drawer and stamped it below the unit's name. After that, she shut down the computer.

Holding the document, she left the office and headed towards the personnel department. Although as the Chief Inspector, she indeed had the quota to recommend auxiliary police officers within the police force to become official officers, such matters still had to go through layers of review. In the end, even the leaders of the Guards Bureau had to sign off before the entire process could be completed. That's why she went to the personnel department first.

"Yo, Chief Chen, what brings you to the personnel department?"

"I'm preparing to recommend someone to join the Special Operations Group."
