Our old friend Cao Cao is expanding his operation. Want to join? You just need to either be a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of someone who already works there, or be a man-beast who kills dozens of coworkers with your bare hands over a disagreement.

Note: I will be busy with other life obligations for the next couple weekends, so there won’t be any new episodes until around September 8. Rest assured that the hiatus is for a good cause.
