NOVEL NEXT Chapter 953: Interview
Yan Wei actually knew Tang Rao's requirements.
Absolutely no ugly ones, they would ruin the sect's reputation.
Good-looking ones are also a no-go; in the entire sect, Tang Rao is the best looking, no exceptions.
"Yan Wei, my good buddy, you totally get me."
Suddenly there were thousands more people, Yan Wei had to use big data to filter them.
Find those above the sixth rank Immortal Monarch first, then check the database for any bad records. Those who like murder and robbery are definitely out of the question, and looting is obviously not allowed either.
As Tang Rao progresses, there will be more and more sisters-in-law coming to Kao Shan Sect, and if anyone gets ideas about them, Tang Rao won't hesitate to tear them apart.
"Alright, there are one hundred qualified people left, do you want to interview them yourself?"
After the expansion of Kao Shan Sect, the quality of this recruitment is much better than last time.
After looking through the portraits of the hundred people, Tang Rao nodded: "Not bad, these few ladies are quite nice, I'll interview them. For the men, you interview them first, then I'll take a turn."
How could Yan Wei not know what Tang Rao was planning?
He just wanted to cozy up to pretty girls, without first checking his own strength.
"Okay, let's do the interviews directly inside Illusion City. Don't forget, right now I don't even have a physical body."
Of course, Tang Rao wouldn't dare conduct interviews outside of Illusion City. If Hong Xiu discovered it, things would really get out of hand.
"It's settled then."
Tang Rao and Yan Wei agreed on their plan, quickly coming up with a good idea.
At Tang Rao's request, Yan Wei built a new map inside Illusion City, which required a password to unlock and enter. The top one hundred people each received a number tag and a map. They could only enter when it was their turn.
"Tang Rao, will this work? Aren't we being a bit too strict, or maybe even too unethical?"
"What do you mean unethical? When have I, Tang Laohei, ever needed to be bound by morals? That's when things get really wicked."
Tang Rao would never question the rules he set.
A few days ago, in an ancient text left by Geng Yu, he found an interesting skill called Mind Reading Technique. As long as someone placed their hand on a stone, Tang Rao could know what was on their mind.
This trick is much more considerate than those Soul Hooking or Soul Capturing Techniques.
The former two would harm the other's Divine Sense, while the Mind Reading Technique would make one feel relaxed and at ease.
"I'll listen to you."
Once Tang Rao made a decision, not even ten horses could pull him back.
The hundred people with passwords were ready and waiting.
In the rules laid out by Tang Rao, each person would have no more than five minutes for the interview. When Yan Wei called out their number, they'd report to him. If Tang Rao called them, they'd go to him.
Everything proceeded in an orderly fashion.
Indeed, those above the sixth rank Immortal Monarch were much more composed than the others.
"Number 1, what's your name?"
The first person Tang Rao interviewed was a petite, loli-like girl.
A sixth rank Immortal Monarch, no doubt, but he never imagined such a delicate girl could be a sixth rank Immortal Monarch.
"Wen Wen."
A pleasant-sounding voice too.
When she said her name, Wen Wen seemed a little embarrassed.
Looking at Wen Wen, Tang Rao felt his whole heart melt.
What a rare gem on earth, truly a rare gem.
This kind of event definitely needs to happen more often.
Way too enjoyable.
Tang Rao's demeanor towards the girl in front of him became even more favorable.
"Uh, Wen Wen, put your hand on that stone, don't let go until I tell you, we need to log your information."
Although he wasn't sure Wen Wen understood him, fortunately, when Tang Rao asked her to place her hand on the stone, she did.
As soon as Wen Wen's delicate hands touched the stone, images began to form in Tang Rao's mind automatically.
Wen Wen's mind was truly complex, a real loli.
But in the end, Tang Rao couldn't keep his cool.
The loli in front of him turned out to be a cross-dresser.
Pfft.
Startled by this revelation, Tang Rao immediately stopped the mind reading.
"Alright, thank you, Contestant Number 1."
Tang Rao didn't dare to look Wen Wen in the eye again.
He was afraid he couldn't help but smack the person in front of him to death.
"Yan Wei, is this the result of your filtering? My first interview and it turns out to be a cross-dresser!"
Tang Rao couldn't help but shout at Yan Wei through the sound transmission.
Fortunately, those waiting for interviews couldn't hear what Tang Rao was saying.
"Hahaha, you sure are unlucky. But you only mentioned testing their strength and appearance, who knew gender needed to be so clearly defined? Your standards are too high."
If it hadn't been for this test, Yan Wei wouldn't have been able to tell the gender truth from false either.
"Thank you for buying me a lesson, I'll be more careful with the next ones."
Yan Wei chuckled at Tang Rao and then stopped listening to his complaints.
"Next one."
Tang Rao felt like his lower body had been scared to death.
This time, the new entrant was a mature woman.
A sophisticated type, sixth rank Immortal Monarch.
"Name."
"Tan Huan."
"Gender."
"Female."
Okay, that's right.
As long as one admits to being a woman, Tang Rao could regain his interest.
He feared another trickster dressed as a cross-dresser, only to come in and claim, "I'm actually a boy."
Tang Rao would truly take action, you know.
"Put your hand on that stone for a moment, just for the record."
By now, Tang Rao had lost faith in women, and he didn't even look at the specifics of the new mature woman's appearance.
The mature woman placed her hand on the stone, her whole being emptying her mind.
Tang Rao dug up a lot of good stuff from the woman's mind.
He learned that at night she doesn't like wearing clothes, and that she can't stand the presence of a single hair on her body.
Wow, such a rarity, strong, beautiful, and with such a unique flair.
Truly Tang Rao's dream woman.
Even when the five minutes were up, Tang Rao was still somewhat reluctant to part.
"Tan Huan, right? Welcome to Kao Shan Sect."
Tang Rao's face was practically blooming like a sunflower.
"What about the promised Immortal Stones?"
Tan Huan extended her hand.
Girl, wouldn't it be great if we just talked about love? Why did you have to shatter my expectations of you like this, can you bear it?
Can you truly bear it?
Tang Rao clutched his chest to keep from crying.
"Here are twenty Immortal Stones, take them."
The promised ten Immortal Stones, Tang Rao doubled it for Tan Huan.
"I'll take just ten Immortal Stones, thank you."
Tan Huan accepted ten Immortal Stones and returned the other ten to Tang Rao.
Sadly, Tang Rao hadn't managed to read what Tan Huan intended to do with the Immortal Stones.
"This girl has a lot of character, next one."
Aside from Tan Huan, the remaining girls were generally average-looking; while their strength barely passed, their appearances made one feel at ease.
After finishing all the female interviews, Tang Rao pulled some people over from Yan Wei's side. The two worked together for three solid days to finish interviewing everyone and select those they were satisfied with.
