Chapter 203 Chapter 203 – Floors
When Wyntor saw Nick shaking hands with Mary and Winona, he felt gratified.
He knew exactly what was going on in Nick's mind, but that didn't matter.
The fact that his Chief Zephyx Extractor initiated a handshake with two Experts was something to be proud of.
Not everyone had such guts.
"Mary, Winona, it was nice seeing you again," Wyntor said politely.
"Oh, of course," Winona said like she had just remembered something.
Then, she moved her hand behind her back and punched a button on the wall, which opened the entrance of Kugelblitz.
"Thank you," Wyntor said with a smile before nodding at Mary and entering.
Nick just nodded at the two of them as he walked by them, and they casually nodded back.
After Nick entered, the door behind him closed.
He was inside Kugelblitz, the biggest and most powerful Zephyx Manufacturer in Crimson Fungus City.
The owner of the only captured Demon, the Crimson Fungus.
A level six Specter!
And yet, everything around Nick looked so normal.
He had just entered a normal-sized corridor.
Sure, the corridor was quite long, but that was about it.
The only thing of note was that the corridor was completely empty.
It almost looked like the building was abandoned.
"Winona and Mary are working for Kugelblitz," Wyntor suddenly said.
"Huh?" Nick uttered as he looked at Wyntor.
"Just like any other Manufacturer, Kugelblitz also has to dedicate 20% of all Zephyx Extractors to the city. But as the strongest Manufacturer, Kugelblitz also has great influence over the city's politics."
"Because of that, they managed to implement a policy that two of their Experts who were dedicated to the city's forces would get to stand guard in front of Kugelblitz."
"Naturally, using two Experts for something as mundane as that is a huge waste, but handing them over to the city is already a waste."
"Might as well use 2% of their capabilities instead of 0%."
At that moment, Wyntor smirked. "Of course, nobody wants this job because it's so boring."
Nick had thought that Kugelblitz had to be insanely powerful since they were using Experts as mere guards, but now he realized that he had been mistaken.
Sure, Kugelblitz was still the most powerful Zephyx Manufacturer in the city, but they were not so crazy powerful that they would voluntarily use Experts as guards.
'But the initial impression I got is probably exactly why they are doing it,' Nick thought.
A moment later, Nick released a breath. "I got scared for a moment," he said in a half-joking tone.
Wyntor just chuckled a bit as he led Nick down the hallway.
"We're currently on the administrative floor," Wyntor said, gesturing to the doors in the hallway.
Nick looked at the doors and saw signs beside each one of them.
1.12, Herbert Pelekies, Janitor, Stefan Mean, Janitor.
1.14,?Julia Rander, Janitor, Melinda Bauer, Janitor.
"A lot of janitors," Nick said.
"It's a big building," Wyntor answered.
Nick kept looking at the signs beside the doors.
Technician, technician, janitor, data entry, data entry, technician, janitor, assistant, assistant, transporter, transporter...
There were so many people here!
And all of them were normal people!
After walking for a while, the two of them entered a larger hallway with doors only on one side.
Surprisingly, the doors didn't have any signs beside them.
"This is where we can get from floor to floor," Wyntor said. "Wanna see something interesting?"
Nick just nodded wordlessly.
Wyntor walked over to one of the doors and pressed one of the many buttons beside it.
DING!
Nick heard a sound, and the door opened.
What was behind the door?
An empty shaft.
Nick went to the edge of the shaft and looked up.
