The people interested in the job openings were now lined up in the Village Center, hoping for a bit of stability in this dangerous world.
For one, that salary was really good! They could finally live decently if they got those jobs! Secondly, Victor and the others promised to train them well—whether it was the guards or the miners—so they could defend themselves. This was worth more than any salary!
Of course, there were still a few people in the line who were a bit more cynical. "So far less than half of those who came in got accepted. Obviously, the standard isn't low this time. I don't think I'll pass."
Before, as long as one had a decent level, they could get hired as a guard. They would get booted (or maybe even killed) if they were slow to follow orders though.
The number of former guards who refused to join in the abuse and died right after was not few.
