After thinking for only five or six seconds, Sun Quan replied confidently, “Gravity, the supporting force of the ground, and the friction of the ground.”

“Get out!”

“Huh? Me?”

Sun Quan had been ready to hear the third question, so when he suddenly heard the words “get out,” he was somewhat bewildered.

He instinctively wanted to protest, but at the sight of the security guards, he could only leave dejectedly, just like the previous interviewees.

For a moment, only three people remained in the room.

Unsurprisingly, the two people in front of Su Mo also failed to answer correctly and left one after the other.

In less than ten minutes, of the seventeen, only Su Mo remained.

“Gravity, the supporting force, friction, and air resistance.”

Following Sun Quan’s lead, Su Mo stood up and answered softly.

From the beginning until now, he had figured out that Qiankun Grain Store was definitely not sincerely recruiting.

Both the senior engineer’s attitude and the bizarre nature of these questions reflected that fact.

Sure enough, hearing the answer, the senior engineer remained expressionless and continued with the third question:

“How can you avoid the rain without an umbrella?”

“There’s no need to hide, it’s a meteor shower.”

“What things solidify rapidly when heated?”

“An egg.”

The senior engineer deliberately departed from the expected answer format, yet each question was neatly resolved by Su Mo, and the senior engineer’s expression grew grimmer and grimmer.

This went on until the ninth question.

Staring at Su Mo, who remained as steady as a mountain, this time he did not read out the tenth question. Instead he picked up the resume on the table and began to look at it, something he had not done for a long time.

It was not until more than ten seconds later that he finally let out a sigh of relief.

“Su Youzong, right? I’ve looked at your resume.”

“Based on the information on your resume, it seems you don’t have the ability to develop independently, do you?”

Pointing at the skills section of the resume, the senior engineer smiled broadly, his tone revealing undisguised disdain.

Suppressing his anger, Su Mo took a deep breath and shook his head:

“I do have the ability to develop independently, but the development cycle may be longer.”

“Oh? If I asked you to develop a product similar to the energy stone sickle, how many days would it take you?” the senior engineer pressed on.

“An energy stone sickle... at least a month?”

It meant adding a miniature energy generator to an ordinary sickle, along with an energy stone function.

If there were patent restrictions on this, they would have to be avoided, which might take some effort.

But in the current wasteland, where there were no such taboos, Su Mo had originally wanted to say that a thing with no technical content at all would take a week at most.

But considering the information he had gathered earlier, it seemed the other party had spent quite a lot of time developing this product.

Before giving his answer, Su Mo paused again and changed the wording from one week to one month, intending to save the other party some face.

But.

“A month at the shortest? That’s fine, then!”

“I’m sorry, your development skills have not been approved. Please look for other opportunities.”

Fearing that Su Mo would be angered and take action, the senior engineer left immediately after speaking, giving Su Mo no chance to react.

This performance also laid out the whole picture from beginning to end.

Qiankun Grain Store had no intention of hiring. They were just going through the motions.

“Sir, here is your resume. I’m sorry, our research team leader, Senior Engineer Gao, has a bad temper. Please forgive him.”

Even though he had been tricked like this, Su Mo managed to suppress his anger as the security guard handed back his resume. He stood up and accepted it with a smile.

Without uttering any harsh words or showing any other emotion, Su Mo quietly memorized the name “Senior Engineer Gao,” then turned around and headed straight for Zizai Liang Lane at the end of the street.

Previously, he had planned to visit several more places.

But now, even Buddhas fight for a stick of incense, and people fight for a breath of air.

Su Mo felt that he could not achieve his goal without bringing down Qiankun Grain Store.

“Whoa, buddy, you got eliminated too?”

“That Qiankun Grain Store is a real beast! They’re clearly just messing with us!”

“They only want to pick those who can develop energy stone tools, and they won’t give Zizai Liang Lane a chance. As for the other ordinary people, they’re just cannon fodder!”

There were not many people queuing in front of Zizai Liang Lane. Su Mo had just arrived when he ran into Sun Quan again.

However, after being disgusted by the senior engineer this time, he had lost his earlier carefree attitude and seemed somewhat worried.

“Fortunately, Zizai Liang Lane is very generous. Look, they’ve hired quite a few people.”

“We must fight to the death!”

Following Sun Quan’s gaze, Su Mo also noticed the wooden sign that read “Job Posting.”

“Huh? How did the number of people go from one to fifteen?”

Su Mo pulled out his notebook, and after confirming that the notice he had seen yesterday was still recruiting just one person, he felt a sense of unease.

But then, considering the current state of Qiankun Grain Store, Su Mo quickly felt relieved.

Without the energy stone sickle, and relying solely on traditional tools, Zizai Liang Lane was clearly no match for them.

In such a situation, to hit back, they had to bet everything and develop similar tools to win back labor.

“But speaking of which, why does this Zizai Liang Lane provide a workshop for every electrician?”

“Could they also provide some research and manufacturing tools based on one’s contributions, as far as they can manage?”

“If that’s the case, then this treatment just meets my requirements!”

He read the entire job posting.

Su Mo thought to himself, and perked up.
