Xiahou is unemployed, due to his introverted personality, low ability, and high ambition, picking and choosing, this is not good and that is not good, he has not found a satisfactory job for a long time, so he has eaten soil for several months.

One day, Xia Hou met a friend who worked in a headhunting company, in fact, they were not familiar with him, but they learned that he was looking for a job, so he asked him for an electronic resume and introduced him to a company in Haicheng.

After he left, this person sent Xiahou's information to a secret mailbox, and wrote in the remarks: At the request of your company, find an introverted, honest, timid and unsociable person, this is this person's resume, and your company's contact information has been given to him.

Xiahou learned about this company on the Internet and found that it was more suitable, so he talked to the other side on the phone, and he was still satisfied with the meaning of the other side on the phone, so he took the train to Haicheng.

When I came to this company, I felt that this company was quite formal and bureaucratic, and I did a lot of evaluations after the recruitment began, including psychological tests, personality analysis, career surveys, etc., which was more troublesome than seeing a psychiatrist, who asked questions from various hidden angles.

After a number of tests, the examiner who looked like a psychiatrist regretfully apologized to him, his personality was not quite in line with this work, he regretted Xiahou Bai's trip, apologized for wasting his precious time, and did enough of the sincerity and routines of the five good companies.

Just when he was a little disappointed and about to leave, the interview supervisor stopped him, gave him a new company, and told him that this company had business contacts with them, and it happened to be recruiting people recently, and the salary was also good, and he could go to this company to try.

After seeing Xia Hou leave, this person forwarded the email to a mysterious person: Xia Hou, male, 26 years old, has passed the first test, this person is honest and reliable, and he can do further investigation.

After Xia Hou walked out of the door of this company, he started the unlucky mode.

When he ate flies during dinner, he always followed the principle of not causing trouble when he went out, so he chose to silently pick out the flies and continue to eat.

I was hit a few times while walking, and I chose to bow my head, apologize, and whispered "I'm sorry" several times.

My pocket was cut and dozens of dollars were stolen, and I didn't go to the police because I didn't have a lot of money.

Then I encountered a robbery, I had no money on me, I had no choice this time, and I was beaten......

In the end, I couldn't stand it anymore, and boarded the car to Linzhou overnight, which ended the unlucky day trip to Haicheng.

The temptation passed, and the kid was timid and fearful, and met the requirements. After Xiahou left, this line appeared on the display screen of a certain computer.

The next day, Xiahou took a car to Qinghe Town, Bashi City, Linjiang Province, the town is not badly developed, there are several 100-meter-high buildings.

Xiahou found a hotel to sleep in, and the next day he went to Daheng Company for an interview, and when he first entered, he met a young man who came out dejectedly, and when he found the personnel department, he was told that he was just full, and wait for the next opportunity.

Coming out of that company, Xia Hou was indescribably depressed, it was really difficult to find a job, so he could only walk aimlessly, looking at a wall full of small advertisements in a corner from time to time.

The deepest impression on him was the recruitment advertisement of a Qiling network technology company, and the deep impression was not because the company posted a lot of small advertisements, but because the small advertisement was beautifully made, no worse than the movie poster, and it was particularly conspicuous.

After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone to check the Internet for a bad time, this company has very little information, the scale is also very small, the address is on the edge of the town, and it is almost out of the town, he is a little disdainful of this small company, so he decided not to go.

I found a random hotel and decided to go back tomorrow.

The next day, walking on the way to the bus station, Xia Hou received several publicity and recruitment flyers of Qiling Network Technology Company, and when he saw that it was Qiling Company, Xia Hou immediately lost interest.

The people who were secretly observing him saw him casually throwing the leaflet into the trash and immediately sent a WeChat message.

Xia Hou didn't walk for a few minutes, and saw a recruitment point in front of him, a table and a few chairs under a huge parasol, surrounded by several people handing in resumes, consulting the recruitment situation, and a recruiter also said loudly, the car is coming, everyone can go to the company to see the situation.

Xia Hou stopped, listened with his ears up for a few seconds, and had an indescribable disgust for this company, decided not to deal with it, and then walked by.

As soon as I walked past the recruitment point, a van drove from the diagonal front, stopped in front of Xiahou, and the recruiter behind shouted loudly, "The car is coming, everyone get in the car and go to the company to have a look".

When Xia Hou heard this, he hurriedly stepped aside and let the people behind him get into the car, but he only moved one or two steps, and his hand was pulled by the big man who got down from the co-pilot: "The door is here, get in the car." ”

"I'm not here to apply...... Xia Hou felt that this person's strength was so great that he couldn't resist.

"Brother, let's take a look, Qiling Technology has strong strength, large scale, high salary, and good treatment, go and see first, the opportunity is rare."

Ignoring Xiahou's objections, Dahan pulled while talking, and after pulling him to his side, he turned into a push, and pushed Xiahou to the car door with soft strength, and was pushed into the car under the unintentional or intentional push of several applicants and recruiters.

He actually resists in his heart, but in reality he always doesn't know how to refuse.

The world is so wonderful, I couldn't find it when I wanted to find a job before, but now I don't want to, and I'm semi-forced again.

Xia Hou didn't feel too good, he felt that he was in the thief car, and before he could sit down, the person next to him was very enthusiastic to put on his seat belt.

"Safety is the most important thing, and the most important thing is to wear a seat belt......

In Xia Hou's stunned, this word was endlessly recited about driving safety.

The people around him are so fake, Xia Hou feels that he is surrounded by the conspiracy of a group of extras, and everyone's acting skills are not up to par, which is really uncomfortable.

After a while, the on-board recruiter also began to speak, listening to the various benefits and benefits of Qiling Technology, and felt that the company was becoming more and more like a pyramid marketing company.

After a period of driving, Xiahou saw a building from a distance, which said Qiling Building, about thirty-three floors, surrounded by some three- and four-story houses, showing that it was particularly abrupt, and there was a feeling of seeing the dwarf of all the houses.

When I saw this building, it shouldn't be a leather bag company. Xia Hou thought silently in his heart, and he was really relieved in his heart.

The van came to the Qiling Building and stopped, Xia Hou saw that the gate was very magnificent, the building was also magnificent, and it had its own building, the strength of this company was not small, the company's description of itself on the Internet was too modest, and the same way they recruited migrant workers, it was too cheap.

Everyone followed the recruiter to the building, and when they passed by the door, several security guards who were still chatting just now closed their mouths and stood much more upright.

Walking into the building, there are several security guards inside, standing or sitting, there are many cameras, and the whole gives people a feeling of tightness on the outside and loose on the inside, and people are floating in things. Seeing this, it feels like a security company, not quite like a network company.

The interview ended quickly, and basically everyone was brushed off, only Xiahou was taken to the third floor for further interviews.

"Sit."

Xiahou sat down solemnly.

"Drink water."

Xia Hou carefully picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip carefully.

"My surname is Lin, and I'm the manager here."

Xia Hou didn't speak, just sat quietly.

"You can call me Manager Lin."

Xia Hou nodded and did not say anything.

This person is really wooden, I told you to call me Manager Lin, don't call me yet, say hello, this person can't get along, it's exactly the talent we need. Manager Lin thought with satisfaction.

"Just now, the personnel department conducted the first round of interviews with you and learned about your basic situation. I took a look at their report, you can't get by, but it's not easy for you to come all the way from Yunnan Province to us, we have a scientific research project that needs volunteers to test, and the pay is good, if you can, you can try it? ”

Xiahou thought about it, stood up, and whispered, "No." ”

Manager Lin was stunned, why did this person refuse, and persuaded: "You don't think about it?" Don't be in a hurry to refuse, sit down and drink some water, let's talk slowly, and I'll tell you more about the situation. ”

Xia Hou sat down obediently, his fingers twisted into each other, and there was a trace of uneasiness: scientific research was so terrifying, he was eating a small white pill that he didn't know what it was, and he had all kinds of colored tubes stuck in his body, he was tortured when he was alive, and he was dissected into small parts after death.

Manager Lin motioned to Xia Hou to relax: "We are a game development company, we are developing a new game, we need some players to try it out, how about it, are you interested?" ”

Xia Hou nodded and asked in a low voice, "Closed beta?" ”

"It's pretty much the same, but it's not posted online yet, just a simple trial in this building, and I'll give you a serial number when the beta is in alpha."

Xia Hou nodded, as long as it wasn't a medical research, he didn't have to worry about it.

"Since this game is epoch-making, there is no similar game on the market at present, so we are very strict about confidentiality, this is our confidentiality agreement, you take a look."

Saying that, Manager Lin took out an agreement and handed it to Xia Hou, and continued: "If you leak the secret before the game goes on the market, you have to pay sky-high compensation, and we will pursue your legal responsibility, if the circumstances are serious, it will not be limited to legal means, understand?" ”

"Of course, as a right, we will also pay you a confidentiality fee, which is currently from 20,000 yuan for general volunteers, and will be increased if you perform well during the work. As for the remuneration is 500 yuan per day, including room and board, in order to keep it secret, you can't leave the Spirit Mansion during the period, you can't contact the outside world, of course, the test time is not long, it won't take a few days. ”

Xia Hou nodded and agreed.

"If it's okay, sign the agreement."

"Can you go to work now? If it's okay, you start work today and count your day's wages. ”

After Xia Hou signed his name, he nodded his head.

"Well, from now on you can't go out, if you really want to go out, you have to ask me for leave. You can't use communication devices during this period, so leave your mobile phone and other things to me for safekeeping. ”

After receiving Xiahou's mobile phone, Manager Lin stood up: "Let's go, I'll take you to the dormitory." ”

"For fear of competitors stealing trade secrets, we have very strict security measures for the entire building." As he spoke, he entered the elevator, and the buttons from 1 to 33 floors inside, Manager Lin pressed 8.

Xiahou saw that the number above 8 was very new, and it seemed that there were very few people who pressed it.

When the eighth floor arrived, the elevator door opened, and a security door was directly connected outside, and there were two security guards sitting, and Manager Lin made a gesture of please: "You go first." ”

Xia Hou walked over, the door did not respond, and seeing that the situation was normal, Manager Lin followed and walked out, and the light on the door frame flashed at this time.

It seems that Manager Lin brought a lot of prohibited things, but the two security guards didn't react, and the insiders were really treated differently, Xia Hou continued to follow Manager Lin while thinking.

Xia Hou followed Manager Lin to the other half of the building, and was blocked by a metal door in front of him.

Manager Lin took out the badge and swiped it, lit a light with a ding, pressed the index finger of his right hand on a metal sensor, and turned on another light, and then pressed his left eye to the camera hole, the light was all on, and the metal door was automatically opened.

After walking in, Xia Hou found that there was still a row of metal doors inside.

Manager Lin walked to one of the doors, pressed it on a metal induction board with the middle finger of his right hand, and the door opened, and it turned out to be an elevator.

Xia Hou followed and walked in, and found that there were three rows of buttons in the elevator, and there were no signs on them, Manager Lin casually pressed one of the buttons, and the elevator started.

The elevator stopped, the door opened, Xia Hou didn't know how many floors he had reached, and when he stepped out of the elevator, there were two doors in front of him, which said 001, 002 respectively.

Manager Lin took Xiahou into 001, only to see that it was luxuriously decorated and fully equipped, and it was a suite with kitchen, living room, bathroom, and two bedrooms.

"The kitchen and refrigerator have everything, what you want to eat by yourself, if you need to call me from the landline in the room, the contact information is next to it. You can't walk around if you have nothing to do, the elevator needs fingerprints to open, you don't have this permission, you can't get in. ”

"The computer is there, your job these days is to write a report on the dark game of the stand-alone game, I will come to you again if there is something else, call me if you have something, don't run around yourself."

After settling Xiahou, Manager Lin took the elevator and left, and after Manager Lin walked for a long time, Xiahou went to the sensor and pressed it, but the elevator really didn't respond.

The computer doesn't have internet access, and there are some stand-alone games, novels, movies, etc., without which it would be no different from going to jail.

The windows in the house are all fake, you can't see the outside, and you probably can't see the inside from the outside. The ventilation facilities are very good, and it doesn't make people feel stuffy, during which Xiahou went to the opposite room 002 to take a look, and it was the same as room 001.

In the next two days, Manager Lin didn't show up, Xia Hou spent his time by playing dark stand-alone and writing dark hearts, because of his introverted personality, no one chatted with him, and it would be crazy if he changed someone else.

On the third day, Manager Lin appeared, and he took Xiahou to the infirmary on a certain floor, did a simple physical examination, and drew a tube of blood.

After returning to the room, Xia Hou was very uneasy, this was not like an Internet company, but like a terrifying biological company, secretly coaxing volunteers to do human experiments.

That night, Xiahou had insomnia, he thought a lot, and he had an inexplicable worry about his life.

On the fourth day, Manager Lin came again, turned the elevator several times, and after a complicated journey, took Xiahou to a laboratory, handed it over to a research institute surnamed Lin, and left by himself.

But this researcher Lin doesn't look like a researcher, although he has a pair of glasses, he feels that he doesn't have much knowledge in his stomach, and he is not much stronger than the big old man.

"This is the brainwave nutrition chamber computer we are developing, which can identify brain waves and directly establish a connection with the human brain, so as to realize no input device and no output device, and directly sleep on the Internet." Researcher Lin took Xia Hou to a laboratory and pointed to a machine that looked like a nutrition pod.

It can't be, the technology on Earth has developed to this point? Why hasn't the media reported on this? Xia Hou was a little unconvinced.

Looking at Xia Hou's skeptical gaze, Researcher Lin continued: "Don't believe it, science and technology are changing with each passing day, and there is nothing that cannot be done, and we have made breakthroughs in this regard. On the basis of this technology, we are developing a holographic online game, tentatively named Enlightenment World, and you will be able to understand the greatness of this online game when you experience it for yourself. ”

Xia Hou didn't believe it when he heard it, and looked around, but fortunately he didn't find anything like a needle scalpel, and he suddenly thought that if this was an organization that illegally sold kidneys, he would be miserable.

"Go in and lie down." Researcher Lin opened the glass cover, pointed inward, and saw that Xia Hou didn't move, so he grabbed him, stuffed him into the computer compartment, and covered the glass.

His strength was very great, and the flesh of Xiahou who caught it hurt, and after being put into the computer warehouse, Xiahou smelled a sweet aroma, and he couldn't wake up.

When Xiahou woke up again, he found himself in a temple, in the dark night, two huge candles were burning leisurely, illuminating a huge statue of a god in front of him, which was extremely terrifying.

"Welcome to the world of enlightenment."

A voice suddenly came from behind him, which frightened Xia Hou and jumped forward, lifted the yellow cloth, and hid under the offering table.

"Well, it's a game, don't be afraid."

When he turned around and looked up, it turned out to be Manager Lin, who was wearing an ancient person's costume at this time, and his hair was long tied together and hanging down the back of his head. Xiahou let out a long breath, touched his head, and wrapped his hair in a rag, and a half-arm-long ponytail draped behind his head.

"Okay, how about it, we're doing a good job with this game, right? You look at this environment and this character, it's realistic, the details are flawless, and it's modest to describe it as immersive, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's amazing. ”

Xia Hou curiously touched himself, touched the offering table, everything was very himself, he suspected that it was in the game, all this was too real.

"This game is going to be a sensation in the world once it's released, but you have to keep it a secret before you release it, otherwise you're ...... We were able to develop such an advanced computer, you should understand our strength and the organization behind it. ”

Xiahou bit himself in disbelief, feeling very painful: "This...... Hurt...... It's easy to find a ruined temple outside, right? ”

"There's no doubt that you're in the game, it's a game, and that's the game of the future, and the technology is beyond your imagination. Still not convinced? See the blue dot in the upper left of your sight? Concentrate and keep an eye on it. ”

Xia Hou glanced at it, and there was indeed a blue dot on the upper left, which moved with the movement of his gaze, and had been floating there. Following Manager Lin's words, he concentrated on it, and it suddenly opened, forming a translucent interface.

"Find the character option and focus on it." Manager Lin continued to point.

"It's amazing!" Xia Hou looked at himself in ancient costumes in the picture.

"Okay, now you believe you've entered the world of the game we developed, right?"

Xiahou nodded.

"Alright, in that case, let's start testing the game, we paid you to do it for us."

As he spoke, Manager Lin took out a pen and paper and began to record: "What about the character attributes you see in the interface?" ”

"Strength 3, Constitution 2, Agility 2." Xia Hou looked at his attributes and replied, the original attributes of this game are so few, and it feels strange to watch Manager Lin take a pen and paper to record things.

"Your attributes are really low enough."

"Then can you help me improve my attributes, my skills are not very good, I'm afraid that I won't be able to play in the future and affect your test." Xia Hou stared at agility for a moment, and suddenly popped up a note on agility: every time you increase agility, you increase movement speed by 10 points and attack speed by 1 point. The player currently has 320 movement speed and 22 attack speed.

"We have such a setting: in order to balance the game and prevent RMB players from having too much advantage, our attributes are all derived through the analysis of the player's blood and some specific calculation formulas, and the staff has no permission to modify them. But depending on your situation, there must be something wrong with our property calculations, and we will improve it next. ”

"In this way, what are the attributes of ordinary people after entering the game?"

"About 10 per attribute, okay, let's not talk about it, let's find out the next situation. Open the bag, do you have anything in it, how much money do you have? ”

"There's nothing, why don't you give a starter bag, isn't it difficult for newcomers to this game to mix?"

"Okay, how much gold and silver do you have in your bag?" Manager Lin asked casually, and at the same time thought that this person wanted to change someone after entering the game, and sure enough, there was a sullen game heart in the chest of every otaku in Mune.

"56 taels of gold, 58 taels of silver, 893 wen."

"Well, yes, let's test the trading system next, you give me 56 taels of gold."

As soon as the words landed, a trading box appeared in front of Xia Hou, and he entered 56 numbers casually, and then clicked to confirm: "I gave so much money at the beginning, this game money is very easy to earn, but you are not afraid that the game currency is worthless?" ”

"Hehe, maybe." After Manager Lin received the money, he looked at the transaction records, his face changed suddenly, and Er'er regained his smile: "Xiao Xia, why did I receive 56 taels of silver?" ”

Hearing his words, Xiahou was also stunned, touched his head embarrassedly and said, "I didn't see it clearly, I made a mistake." ”

"Then give it again." Manager Lin sent a trade application to Xiahou.

Xia Hou looked at the trading box in front of him and said tentatively, "The transaction test is normal, so you don't need to trade again, right?" I focused on refusal, and accidentally closed the trading box: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake, this game is too sensitive, and it's inconvenient to operate." ”

"Then let's trade again." Manager Lin held back his anger and sent a transaction request again.

"Manager Lin, I don't have any talent for games, and if I don't have money, I can't play games, which will affect the results of your tests." Now that I can successfully trade to give you money, I don't want to test whether you can trade anything to me, after all, transactions are mutual exchanges. Xia Hou faintly felt that this money was very important.

"Again, give me the gold." Manager Lin took a deep breath, "There was something wrong with our system, and we sent a little extra money at the beginning of the game, which will seriously affect the playability of the initial stage of the game. We take back the extra money in order to better improve the game, please cooperate with our work, and at the same time please do your job as a game tester, show the attitude you deserve, and take your own responsibility. A word of caution, if this is a job or a temporary worker without a contract, think about it! ”

"Okay." Thinking that this is a game, let's listen to the words of the supervisor, Xia Hou entered the number 56 into it.

"It's hard for you to manage, you're fired." After receiving the money, Manager Lin finally didn't have to pretend, and quickly changed his face.

"Eh, I'm ......" changed his face so quickly, such a trivial matter, as for it, Xiahou Bunker.

"You can go down...... By the way, how much money do you have in your bag? ”

"2 taels of silver 893 Wen." Xiahou looked at his package.

"You're cheap." After speaking, Manager Lin traded and gave Xiahou 1 tael of gold.

After receiving the gold, Xia Hou was stunned, he didn't understand that since he had already fired him, that is to say, he had no chance to play this game again, so why did he give him game currency, what was the use of asking for game currency?

Suddenly, the number in the package jumped, and 893 Wen Qian became 892 Wen, Xia Hou frowned, and had a bad premonition.
