Master of Kaidan-Chapter 560: A Large Wave of Workers is Approaching

"How do I use this? Just write the information on it?" Alfred asked upon hearing the straightforward twelve words.

The voice did not disappear but continued in a dignified tone:

"Write the target’s information on the loose leaf, and you may also attach personal items or samples such as hair or nails. Based on the target’s details, task compensation will be calculated, and it costs 20 Ming Coins to use the leaf."

"Twenty, huh? That doesn’t seem too much. Let’s give it a try," Alfred picked up the pen on the desk and asked the live chat:

"Do you guys from Isgray City have any infamous celebrities without much backing?"

[Yeah, Hillbuck, a foul-mouthed streamer. If it weren’t for his followers, he’d have been beaten to death long ago.]

[Pamela Fran, a real bitch of an actress.]

[Prosmeison, infamously known for official media streaming.]

[Faralom, a director who loves to disgust people.]

...

A string of names flashed across the live chat. Although it seemed trivial, Alfred could see through the backend data that occasionally, one or two accounts would suddenly get banned.

He didn’t comment further and simply started a random draw, pulling out a name:

"Oh, Romi Lanca. Help me with the details, chat."

[Oh, shit, you can’t do this!] freeweɓnovel-cøm

Suddenly, a VIP comment flashed by and was immediately followed by other comments:

[Fuck, it’s the real deal!]

[Interesting!]

[Streamer, write as I say. Romi Lanca, 177cm tall, weighs 66 kg, graduated from...]

Details flowed through the chat, some from jesters, some collating the information, and of course, there was always the no-smoke-without-fire kind suggesting the person himself.

However, Alfred didn’t really care, as he never intended to take actual action.

Thanks to having been dubbed "Work Hell," Work City could seamlessly connect to the Heaven and Hell of another world just as Feng Xue could sense the Descent rules of other Worlds, utilizing Heavenly Court’s Merit Tablet and the Underworld’s Life and Death Book to compute the commission costs.

Initially, the price would be estimated based on the target’s malice and karma. If the target turned out to be a good person, the price could be astronomical.

Of course, not to say that a villain’s price would be affordable, as after the moral judgement, the second step involved calculating the difficulty of the task—the higher the difficulty, the higher the price.

Clearly, the person written on the loose leaf wasn’t a good person and, just like the person who sent his name hadn’t been banned, he also didn’t have any significant support.

Line after line of information was filled out on the loose leaf. After a brief moment, three color blocks emerged beneath it.

Below the white block, it was marked free; under the red block, 2000 Ming Coins; and under the last black block, 10,000 Ming Coins.

"Oh, is finding him free because he’s relatively easy to locate?" Alfred tore off the leaf and placed it into a white box immediately where the words on the leaf faded, replaced by dense text.

Above were various directions describing a location, using latitude and longitude coordinates, public addresses, and colloquial names, even detailing which bus to take and how many turns to make.

[Is he really at the TV station? Makes sense, he’s about to record a program.]

[Speaking of which, assassinating such a figure costs only fifty thousand credit points, less than I expected.]

[That’s quite a lot, don’t forget, this damn place uses a specialized currency, you have to work to use these features!]

[Hah, I don’t believe real big shots have to work if they want to use these features.]

[Clearly, these abilities are similar to those of ghosts, don’t you know ghost powers must meet conditions to activate?]

The chat began to argue again, but Alfred turned away from Taibai Mansion with a contemplative look and spoke seriously to the live chat:

"Ladies and gentlemen, that’s all for today’s live stream. We’ll continue tomorrow at 8:50 AM!"

[Wait, Streamer, didn’t you say there’s a pawnshop in the south of the city?]

[Yeah, why aren’t you going to the pawnshop?]

[We want to see the pawnshop!]

Watching the chat screen that started to flood with messages about the pawnshop, Alfred remained unmoved and decisively shut down the stream.

...

Though the live stream was over, Feng Xue hadn’t left Work Hell but had found an internet cafe to temporarily stay. As he expected, within about ten minutes, several people entered Work Hell.

"Hmm, people are starting to exchange money... Fuck, they’re done exchanging already? I thought these rich folks would test it first; didn’t expect them to hire people and max out their cash conversion immediately. Should I say they’re decisive or just don’t care about money?"

Sensing the information from the bank, Feng Xue’s eyebrows slightly raised as he soon felt a high-value commission—a Punishment task worth 200,000 Ming Coins.

"Punishment for 200,000, assassination for 4 million—it’s because of his immense sins. Seems he’s not lowly positioned! I never expected their first reaction to use the assassination feature. Shouldn’t he try to increase his lifespan first?"

Feng Xue reviewed the commission form but didn’t interfere, as it wasn’t an illusion he’d conjured, but a real one. After completing the setup, Taibai Mansion itself also became a "workplace," and in Work Hell, any workplace could allocate workers.

All Feng Xue needed to do was assign a few pseudohumans or ghosts to do the work.

As for how to accomplish the assassination, he had the [Libra - Oathkeeper] entry. Although he couldn’t directly grant [Libra - Executioner] because the main body of the Kaidan wasn’t in this world, with the Powers of [Training] and [Contract], he could easily give his workers technological hacks.

In other words, any worker entering Taibai Mansion could sign a contract to obtain the necessary technology.

As for finding individuals, compared to the Heavenly technology level, this world’s network security was practically non-existent.

Upon checking his phone and accessing the illicit zone network number 1774, as expected, he saw all kinds of resumes and job listings. Feng Xue glanced over them but did not intervene, letting Work Hell develop on its own. However, at that moment, he suddenly received an email in his inbox.

Receiving an email was not strange, but what was strange was that his inbox was encrypted, and not just with standard encryption, but encryption supplied by the processing power of the Haotian Mirror mainframe from the Divine Enthronement World.

In this world, clearly, no one had the capability to break this encryption.

In other words—

"This didn’t appear through sending but directly in my inbox, did it?"
