They soon got on the elevated city expressway. Su Mo looked out the car window, curiously gazing at the city from above.

The streets were bustling with activity, people coming and going, and various shops opening early. Many breakfast stalls were crowded with customers.

Of course, there were also many 24-hour vending stores, but they weren't as popular as the manual ones.

The whole city seemed full of life and vitality.

While driving, Zi Qing said to Su Mo, "If time permits, you can usually hitch a ride with us to work. But if not, you'll have to take the subway or a taxi. The normal commute is at least forty minutes."

"Okay."

Su Mo replied, looking out at the bustling scenery.

"You must be from a small place."

Seeing Su Mo so engrossed in the view, Zi Qing asked casually.

"Yeah."

Su Mo didn't explain. Although he came from Shanghai, he had always lived in a shantytown, which was no different from a small place.

"The Imperial Capital is different from other places. It's prosperous, but also full of temptations. Of course, the cost of living here is very high, and not everyone can stay. But it's also full of opportunities. Many people find a chance to change their lives here, and many others end up battered and bruised."

Zi Qing reminded Su Mo intentionally or unintentionally.

Unfortunately, Su Mo didn't react much. It was hard to tell if he didn't understand or what.

Soon, Zi Qing drove to the Dawn Group headquarters. Su Mo was shocked by the building, completely stunned.

In the Imperial Capital, where land was incredibly expensive, the Dawn Group's headquarters occupied such a large plot and consisted of fourteen skyscrapers in a circular structure. The tallest one in the middle was thousands of meters high.

And behind the building was an egg-shaped structure.

All along the way, there were security checkpoints, guarded by security personnel in black suits, sunglasses, and earpieces.

Zi Qing drove into entrance B3 and quickly parked the car.

She explained to Su Mo, "This is the Dawn Guild's base. The 600-meter-high building in front is the headquarters of our 10th Legion. We work inside. The other buildings belong to other legions. Remember, don't wander around unless you have a specific reason. Even though we're all in the same guild, the internal relationships are somewhat delicate."

"Okay. But is this entire place owned by the Dawn Guild?"

"Yes!"

"This... I don't really understand. Is it worth investing so much to play a game?"

Su Mo asked curiously. The scale was beyond praise. When people played games in the past, it was good enough if the guild could set up a studio, or even a company if they were really extravagant.

But these were more than a dozen skyscraper headquarters! Just to play a game? It was unbelievable.

Soon they arrived at the building. A girl with pink curly hair, wearing a guild uniform, and chewing on a lollipop was already waiting at the entrance.

"Zhou Qian."

Zi Qing greeted her.

"Sister Zi Qing, you're finally here. I've been waiting for ages. Hand him over to me."

"Okay, Su Mo, this is your colleague. Just follow her."

Zi Qing turned to Su Mo and said.

"Okay, thank you."

Su Mo nodded.

"Follow me. This is your ID card. Hang it around your neck. Remember not to take it off during work hours. Without this card, you won't be able to move an inch here."

Zhou Qian led Su Mo into the building, handing him an ID card.

Su Mo took it and looked at the ID card with his picture on it, finding it more and more interesting.

At the entrance of the building, there were special access gates. Employees swiped their ID cards to enter.

After they entered, Zhou Qian led Su Mo into an elevator and began to introduce the work environment.

"This building has a total of 200 floors. The higher the floor, the higher the status of the people working there. You are now assigned to the Ground Combat Elite Team, so you can access up to the 30th floor. You can't go any higher than that. After entering the elevator, you need to swipe your ID card over the sensor area on the floor selection panel. Floors 2-10 are the integrated combat hall, and floors 11-20 are the employee cafeteria. If you get hungry, you can come down to eat at any time. The company provides meals during work hours."

"Okay."

Su Mo nodded.

Zhou Qian pressed the button for the 22nd floor.

The elevator ascended very quickly, soon reaching the 22nd floor.

The elevator doors opened, and employees holding various documents hurried back and forth.

Most of them were young and beautiful girls, but there were also many male employees, although the number was relatively small.

They greeted Zhou Qian.

"Sister Qian!"

"Sister Qian, you're here."

.....

However, when they saw Su Mo, their expressions changed. Some directly ignored him coldly, while others showed annoyance in their eyes.

In short, they were very hostile to Su Mo.

Zhou Qian also noticed it, but she didn't say anything. She also had a lot of opinions about Su Mo. Because of this guy, several of her sisters had died.

Fortunately, everyone restrained their dissatisfaction.

Su Mo naturally noticed it, but he didn't say anything. He was already prepared for this.

Zhou Qian led Su Mo to a spacious office where young men and women were chatting and laughing.

When they saw Zhou Qian leading Su Mo in, the laughter stopped abruptly.

They tacitly did their own things, not even glancing at Su Mo.

It was a disguised form of exclusion, but Su Mo didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He actually preferred to be ignored.

Zhou Qian said to Su Mo, "There's a fingerprint scanner here. Go register your fingerprint later. When you come to work, you can use your fingerprint to clock in here. The workstation in the corner over there is your spot. You'll work there from now on."

"Okay."

Su Mo looked at the empty workstation in the corner, quite satisfied that it was quiet.

"Follow me."

Zhou Qian walked forward, and Su Mo quickly followed.

"This is the Starlight Interlink game login room. All the machines are open to everyone, and anyone can use them freely. There are no fixed spots. But you need to pay attention to one thing: the machine rooms are divided into male and female rooms, so don't go into the wrong one. Of course, if you can be promoted to senior management, you'll have a fixed private room."

.....

Su Mo listened to Zhou Qian's introduction, looking into the machine room. Inside, all the machines were equipped with space massage chairs and gaming helmets, with configurations similar to those in Starlight Gaming Cafes.

Zhou Qian led Su Mo back to the elevator, and they went inside. She pressed the button for the 26th floor.

"Where are we going?"

Su Mo asked curiously.
