Chapter 5: The Fallen Superstar (2)
Time flies.
It's been more than half a month since Carla joined our customer service center that morning.
In the past half a month, except for the first two days, there were a few guys from other departments who came to admire the style of super player Kara, but seeing that the idol in everyone's minds turned out to be such an image, they all took advantage of the excitement and went away. Later, almost everyone had forgotten about the super player Carla, who was rumored to be a mythical online game, and is now in her company's customer service center.
Super player Carla emerges like the brightest meteor in the sky, then burns like a meteor again across the sky and disappears without a trace.
In all fairness, Carla is a very unsympathetic person, and you don't know when she'll come to the company, and you won't know when she'll leave. When all the members of the customer service center called friends to eat the Legend of the Ring next to them during the lunch break, Kara was not in her seat, and by the time everyone returned to the customer service center after the lunch break, Carla must have already sat in her seat early to play games.
There were a few enthusiastic guys who tried to pull Kara to join everyone in a group activity, but Kara always shook her head timidly, and then turned her head to immerse herself in the world of online games, which made a few guys who were full of enthusiasm but didn't have the slightest return not embarrassed!
And during weekday working hours, sometimes there are some inexplicable reasons to celebrate, such as whose birthday is the little one, so the customer service center will use this as a name for public money consumption, and use the department's activity funds issued by the center every quarter to collectively call a bubble tea or something to celebrate privately. But when the center secretary enthusiastically ran to Carla's seat and asked her what she wanted, Carla still shook her head desperately and didn't say a word, so that the gentle and lovely center secretary sister touched a big nail without being soft or hard.
After a long time, everyone has almost forgotten that there is such a once brilliant super player Carla in the customer service center.
Maybe I'm the only one who can still remember the name Kara, right? Actually, I can't help it, who let Kara sit next to me!
Kara's job is to evaluate and test the games that have not yet been released in-house, looking for bugs and limits to keep track of them, which means playing the game over and over again, looking for potential problems hidden in various games, and using all sorts of completely uncanny ways to find possible problems in the game. For example, if you fight a small monster, first attack with a weapon to see if the monster will be injured and lose blood, then use magic to attack to see if the monster will be damaged, and then use magic to attack while using a weapon to attack to see if the combination between the two will cause problems. Similarly, when you do another task, you need to repeat the task in a way that is a perverted task, so as to observe whether the task will go wrong and cause the game to produce bugs......
Where is this playing a game, this is clearly repeating and repeating the most boring and boring work in the world!
But Kara didn't get tired of it.
Originally, the position of assessment was subordinate to the assessment center, but when Carla applied for the job on the same day, she strongly asked to join the customer service center because the customer service center can play all kinds of games that are not part of the company, in addition to playing various games of the company.
This is a typical naïve idea of a player.
At the time, I don't know if it was because the super player Carla was too strong in the limelight or for some other reason, but the company actually allowed this seemingly ridiculous request for the first time. So now Carla is working in the call center, and the job content is doing testing work.
In my opinion, it's a fool's idea to do a hobby as a job. When something you like from your heart becomes a necessary job for your livelihood, the hobby ceases to be a hobby.
It's a monotonous and boring social behavior of making a living.
Unfortunately, Carla is undoubtedly an outlier.
She seems to like this job very much, and she is always the first person to step into the customer service center every morning, go online and start playing games, and she has never left the company at the specified time of 6 p.m. every day, according to the customer service brother on night duty, the latest she has seen Carla still playing games at 2 o'clock in the morning.
At the same time, in addition to frantically testing all kinds of games that she needs to submit test reports, she will download all kinds of different online games like a madman, and crazy leveling and P-with people in the game. In all those games, her name was Kara!
So much so that for a long time, the major game media websites have ranked the level combat power of each popular game and the popular candidates on the P strongman list, all of which are Kara.
The fame of the super player Carla is growing. Especially after some of the talkative guys leaked the news that Carla was a tester in our company after some of the talkative guys leaked to the game media, the fame of the super player Carla has reached an unprecedented height again.
Players are envious of such a Kara, who was born in games and once again entered a listed game company and became a member of the game industry.
However, for us, Carla is just an incompetent evaluator who wastes a lot of time playing other games in addition to testing.
According to common sense, if a game tester spends too much energy and time playing other games, then her job - testing games will definitely do a terrible job - there are quite a few guys in the evaluation center who are like this, they play their favorite games like a few treasures, and they talk about it endlessly, but when it comes to testing their own company's games, they make a lot of nonsense, often sloppy, and have a lot of words: garbage games are also vain.
But that's not the case with Kara.
Her work attitude is also very correct, every day BUG submission report will be densely written, all kinds of unreasonable loopholes in the system planning and design, as small as the map shift of the art scene, all of which are recorded by her in every detail, and the weekly summary report is even more detailed, which makes the other testers in the evaluation center embarrassed.
So much so that rumors spread that the boss of the assessment center said that he would double Carla's salary, and then let the other four testers all go home, because Carla can do the work alone enough to withstand the work intensity of five people.
Of course, this is just a rumor.
In everyone's eyes, Carla is still a dispensable little tester sitting in the corner of the customer service center without the slightest sense of zài.
If it weren't for the inexplicable events that happened that night, maybe Carla would have been quietly by our side like this, happily doing her boring work.
