NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Your cheat has arrived!
Mu Rufeng opened the umbrella, then lost consciousness.
When he came to, he realized he had already appeared at the entrance of gate 1 of the logistics park.
Mu Rufeng looked up and around, a layer of hazy red mist seemed to cloak the logistics park, making the view inside blurry and indistinct.
He could only see some figures moving about and some large objects shifting, even the sounds were inaudible.
Looking back towards the outside of the logistics park, he noticed the surroundings were enveloped in mist as well.
He couldn't make out any scenery at all.
He looked up and saw the sign "Scarlet Logistics Park Gate 1," and the words caught his eye.
Mu Rufeng unconsciously swallowed.
It was still the same logistics park, no change to the scene.
But the surrounding facilities had aged, and there were dark red and black stains.
He knew that he seemed to have entered some strange place.
Suddenly, Mu Rufeng felt a chill on his right side.
He turned his head and found a man in a security guard uniform, his face deathly pale, staring intently at him from within the guard booth.
Just then, from ahead, the sound of footsteps approached.
Due to the blurry scene in the logistics park, Mu Rufeng could only see a vague shadow moving towards him.
Soon, from within the mist, a woman in business attire emerged.
The woman was tall, wearing high heels, yet she almost stood level with Mu Rufeng.
Mu Rufeng was 1.8 meters tall, so without her high heels, she was close to 1.7 meters tall.
Those pale long legs and the form beneath her blouse, she was unquestionably a stunning beauty, the kind that ignites desire.
"I am Liu Mei, the HR manager for Crimson Preferred. Are you here for an interview? What position are you applying for?" Liu Mei looked Mu Rufeng up and down and asked.
As Mu Rufeng was at a loss for what to do, information flashed through his mind, and a prompt box appeared before him.
[Please choose the position you wish to apply for]
[1. Delivery Driver]
[2. Stock Checker]
[3. Shipper]
[4. Receiving Staff]
[5. Loader]
"Delivery driver, stock checker, shipper, receiving staff, and loader?" Mu Rufeng had a million questions in his heart.
Indeed, his mind felt completely muddled.
Had he crossed into an otherworld? But why did this otherworld feel so familiar, yet so abnormal?
Though the current scenario overwhelmed Mu Rufeng, as a modern young man, his ability to adapt was still strong.
Mu Rufeng managed to calm himself and began to consider his options.
There were five positions in total, the meanings of which were clear at a glance, including his actual job, loader.
First off, he eliminated the option of a delivery driver.
He didn't have a driving license and couldn't drive, let alone the fact that as a delivery driver, he would most likely have to drive a truck.
If it were a 4.2-meter truck, that would be manageable since it would have a blue license plate, and a C1 license would suffice, but the larger trucks with yellow plates would require a higher class license.
Without a driving license, applying to be a delivery driver was out of the question.
Although there was no warning, Mu Rufeng felt that if he was unable to perform the job well, something terrible would surely happen.
Stock checker, as the name suggests, meant to clean, sort, and organize inventory so that products were clear, safely stacked, and orderly.
It was a fairly tedious task.
Shipper's work entailed pulling products from the warehouse according to customer orders and handing them over to delivery drivers for transport.
Receiving staff were responsible for logging and receiving incoming goods.
Loaders, needless to say, were involved in loading and unloading goods, purely physical labor.
Among these positions, Mu Rufeng still favored the role of a loader.
As Mu Rufeng contemplated which job to choose, a prompt sounded in his mind.
[Host has entered the instance, cheat loaded successfully.]
[Please choose one of the following three cheats:]
[1. Purification Template: Possess the ability to purify, ignoring all pollution.]
[2. Super Brain: Photographic memory, brain processing power multiplied by tenfold, immune to mental damage.]
[3. Zombie Template: Copper Skin Iron Bone, invulnerable, Infinite Strength, Bloodthirst, fearless.]
"A cheat has arrived?" Mu Rufeng was slightly startled.
As an avid reader, he was not unfamiliar with such things.
He immediately started reviewing the three options.
When the cheats appeared, Mu Rufeng's heart instantly calmed down.
"Are you listening to me?" Liu Mei's tone was still icy cold.
Mu Rufeng glanced over subconsciously but realized that Liu Mei, unbeknownst to him, was now shrouded in a black mist.
At that moment, Mu Rufeng could clearly sense a strong malice rising from Liu Mei towards him.
Not only from Liu Mei, but the security guard sitting in the security room had also stepped out at some point, holding a baton that emitted a dark red glow.
Mu Rufeng's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, a sense of fear arose from the depths of his soul.
Without hesitation, Mu Rufeng immediately chose the third cheat.
[3. Zombie Template: Copper Skin Iron Bone, invulnerable, Infinite Strength, Bloodthirst, fearless.]
Almost instantly, Mu Rufeng felt a surge of immense power well up within him.
At the same time, the sense of fear and the chill that covered his body were instantly purged.
"I'm here to apply for a loader position," Mu Rufeng said calmly.
As Mu Rufeng spoke these words, the rising black mist around Liu Mei swiftly receded.
Even the security guard slowly lowered the baton in his hand.
The malice directed at Mu Rufeng also faded, but he continued to feel an oppressive force bearing down on him.
"Loader? Fine. Here is your temporary work badge. Remember, inside the Logistics Park, you must wear this badge. Follow me."
Liu Mei tossed a work badge to him and then turned to walk into the mist.
[Temporary Work Badge]
[Position: Temporary Loader]
[Valid for one day, please become a permanent employee within one day to get an official employee's work badge, or face the consequences.]
Watching Liu Mei disappear into the distance, now just a hazy figure, Mu Rufeng immediately hung the work badge around his neck.
As soon as it was in place, the mist that was clouding his view dispersed instantly.
At the same time, a cacophony of sounds began to emanate from inside the Logistics Park.
The sound of vehicles starting, beeping as they reversed, and the rumbling of some massive machinery filled Mu Rufeng's ears.
The oppressive force that had been upon him also vanished in an instant.
He turned to look outside the Logistics Park but found the fog was still too dense to make out anything beyond.
Boom, boom, boom—
Just then, a huge truck emerged from the thick fog behind them, driving onto the side alleyway.
