95. Ninety-five
>> Try again, fail again, fail better.
Liu Fanxu did not panic to figure out the basic situation of this world, she walked slowly and methodically on the street late at night, aiming at the corner of the street not far ahead, where there was a 24-hour self-purchased convenience store. She pushed open the glass door and walked into the supermarket of her choice, where she had come to test whether the currency she had brought with her could be used here.
The only benefit to her from returning to her original world is her identity documents and a decent amount of bank deposits. This time she deliberately chose a space not far from her world's timeline to see if they could come in handy.
She first walked to the various newspaper sections, picked out newspapers and magazines of different industries, took a map by the way, then took a bottle of mineral water from the food area, and finally walked to the automatic checkout area. I pulled โกโก out of my wallet and swiped it on it. Liu Fanxu patiently waited for the electronic prompt sound, and after it made a 'beep' sound, a line of words appeared on the screen. The content is roughly the amount of the purchase and the exchange rate to be paid, and then the total amount deducted.
I have to admit that seeing such a result, Liu Fanxu breathed a sigh of relief. She curled her lips, picked up her things and walked to the door, placing the newspaper and water in her hand on the bulletin table next to the door. She smiled, starting with the top one. From the name of the world given by the law alone, she has already drawn a preliminary conclusion, but she still needs to verify it through these news.
In the previous worlds, Liu Fanxu did not experience in vain, she also summed up some experience in this regard, plus this time she has an identity and capital reserves, which is equivalent to solving the problem she is most worried about. So, all she had to do was find the mission target and expel him or her from this world.
Because it wasn't a trial, and it wasn't the law that made it difficult for her, she wouldn't encounter a situation that was deliberately added beyond the situation. Liu Fanxu calculated the correctness of her argument while looking at the recent news, she would not treat anyone here lightly, because the world is real. From the very beginning of Baker Street, she knew that this was not a game, and that everyone she met in this space was not an NPC. So, she will treat everyone here with respect and kindness except for the mission objective.
After finishing the newspapers and periodicals he had read, Liu Fanxu picked up the map and mineral water, turned around and pushed the door and walked out of the convenience store. She walked down the street thinking about how to find the 'protagonist' of this world, although she didn't have a clue yet, but since the mainstream industry here is Go, then she should also participate in it. Thinking of this, she opened her water bottle, took a sip of water, and walked straight across the street to the good-looking express hotel.
Lying on a double bed, Liu Fanxu was wearing a bathrobe, holding his chin and studying the map. She had marked the location of the Japanese Chess Academy with a red pen, which was her destination tomorrow, and she curled the corners of her lips and squinted her eyes with a treacherous smile. She looked at the circled marks on the map and said to herself, "Ahhh โ
Yes, the recruitment posting, her so-called participation in it does not mean to become a professional chess player, but to go to the Japan Chess Academy for an interview and become an employee there. In this way, she shouldn't miss batches of boys and girls, middle-aged men and women, old men and women who go in and out, with the dream of playing Go, probably. Tossing the map aside, she rolled over and lay down, her eyes staring at the ceiling, slowly closing her eyes.
The next day, Liu Fanxu got up early, put on the ironed clothes on her body, straightened her clothes in the mirror, and then went out to the lobby, and after leaving the room, she walked towards the nearest subway entrance. At this time, most of the office workers were still eating breakfast at home, so there were not many people on the platform, and when they waited for the subway they needed to take, Liu Fanxu walked into the carriage and chose a position near the door to sit down. She subconsciously took in the situation in the carriage, and she had already experienced too many murderers in a perverted world, so even though this may not be a mainstream space for solving cases and arresting criminals, she still couldn't break this habit.
It was not far from her destination, about five or six stops, and when Liu Fanxu walked out of the subway entrance, the crowd had become dense, and this was the first peak of the day. Liu Fanxu smiled and said secretly in his heart: This capital city as busy as Washington can't escape the distress and embarrassment of traffic jams, it seems that this is a common problem all over the world.
The Japanese chess academy is easy to find, and the eye-catching gate and the wide geographical area are the coordinates of her reference. Liu Fanxu looked up at the building of the chess academy, with a shallow smile on her face, she stepped up the steps and walked into the hall of this building. After asking the front desk, she first filled out an interview form, and then, under her guidance, walked to the elevator to prepare for the human resources department on the second floor.
Probably in a hurry, so there was no very complicated interview process, she held the interview form in her hand and walked into the elevator. The staff of the human resources department on the second floor had just gone to work, and they all showed a look of surprise when Liu Fanxu knocked on the door of the office. The person in charge walked out of the office in the middle of the room, he first glanced at Liu Fanxu, and then said slowly, "You, are you here to apply?" โ
"Yes," Liu Fanxu smiled and bowed, she handed the interview form in her hand to the person in charge with both hands, and after he hesitantly took it, she lowered her eyelids and looked at it carefully. Liu Fanxu looked at his expression, and from his slightly surprised eyes, she knew that he might consider handing over this job to her, after all, it was just a job of a recorder, and it didn't require much advanced technical content.
"You... Why do you want to work here? The middle-aged man raised his head, the expression on his face was still on the expression of shock, he looked at Liu Fanxu and said with some hesitation, "It can be said that we don't need such a high degree of education here, I mean, this is completely overkill." โ
"Please be sure to think about it," Liu Fanxu lowered her eyes with a sad look on her face, she explained, "Because I can't follow the path of a professional chess player, but I deeply love Go, and I just hope to be closer to my inner dream, even if it is just watching others complete it, I will feel comforted, so please!" โ
"Well...... the middle-aged person in charge raised his hand to cover his chin, looked down and thought for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "Okay! He handed the resume in his hand to a staff member beside him, but his eyes were still looking at Liu Fanxu, "Then, you can go through the entry procedures now." โ
Liu Fanxu nodded, and was about to approach the clerk, but heard this young man, holding her resume in both hands, and exclaimed in a stunned voice, "Doctor of Medicine from Imperial College!" Ph.D. in Social Behavior, Mathematics, Engineering from Caltech?! He stood up suddenly, stared at Liu Fanxu with slightly bulging eyes, and screamed with his green muscles exposed, "Is this true?" Do you just want to apply for a job as a note-taker that you can do as long as you have graduated from a college degree? Not kidding?! โ
"......" Liu Fanxu was taken aback by his reaction, she opened her mouth and was about to speak, but she heard the middle-aged person in charge next to her say sharply, "Yamamoto! What a faux pas, do your job! Hearing the reprimand of his boss, the clerk named Yamamoto immediately bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm too excited." โ
Liu Fanxu shook her head, she opened the handbag, took out the documents inside, put them on his desktop, and said with a smile, "I don't mean to show off, it's just to increase the chips that I can definitely apply for, so if there is any doubt, just verify these documents, there will definitely be no mistake." โ
The clerk took the certificates with trembling fingers and looked at them carefully, his lips moving, a look of adoration in his eyes, he shook his head violently, and said, "Please wait, I'll take you through the onboarding procedures right away." Liu Fanxu frowned and expressed her gratitude, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, although she is indeed a genuine doctoral graduate of these schools, but she is not in this space, fortunately, this time cannot be completely relied on the Internet, and they did not really verify.
To put it bluntly, this job is actually an errand job, when there is an event, it will be assigned to each arena to collect the chess games played by the chess players, and when there is no competition, it will collect the chess games of the students who are studying here. It's boring and untechnical, and she doesn't even need to know a lot about Go, because these players will naturally have records, but if they meet a bad-tempered player, their work will be more troublesome.
They were so surprised because most of the staff working at the chess academy were men, and it was not surprising that there were very few women willing to apply. Liu Fanxu carried a handbag and put away the work permit and access card, just now the middle-aged person in charge said that she needs to go to work tomorrow, because the college student examination and vocational examination will start tomorrow, and their manpower has been very tight.
Liu Fanxu stood in front of the elevator, waiting for the elevator while hanging his eyelashes and thinking about the reason. Of course, although the world is dominated by Go, there is no way for young players to succeed in Japan, and the audience of aging professional chess players is also getting older, which means that social attention is already declining. Therefore, many of the logistics staff working here have either been admitted to the college entrance examination or have changed jobs to other industries. They are all worried about layoffs and unemployment, after all, this is a capitalist and righteous country, and the pressure of competition and employment is still very great.
The people who are still working here are dreamers who simply love the game of Go, and their enthusiasm sustains them to continue to move forward in despair, after all, Go is a mental skill that requires talent and time, and not everyone can work hard to achieve results. Liu Fanxu at this time, with the kind of interview words that make their blood boil, will definitely succeed, this is also the primary criterion for their recruitment, otherwise as long as the requirements are lowered, there will actually be many people to apply, but they still prefer to stick to this principle, it is really a world with inspirational themes.
When he was thinking like this, the elevator door happened to open, Liu Fanxu heard the sound, raised his head to look at the elevator, but found that there were two men standing on the left and right in the open double door. She was only slightly stunned, and walked in calmly, the man on the left was younger, dressed in a white suit, about twenty-six or seventeen years old, dark brown medium and long hair, fine bangs, and a pair of glasses on his cold face, he saw Liu Fanxu, politely leaned over to the middle-aged man on the right, and gave way to the position he had just stood.
The middle-aged man on the right was contemplative and imposing, he was wearing a kimono and stood there motionless, without giving his eyes to Liu Fanxu. However, Liu Fanxu didn't care, she politely nodded to the young man and thanked him, and then stood where he was standing just now, her eyes falling on the jumping numbers in the elevator. After a while, the elevator arrived on the first floor, Liu Fanxu was not in a hurry to go out, she first pressed the elevator and pressed the door button on the keyboard, and after the two men next to her got out of the elevator, she followed out unhurriedly.
