"The Ningdong-Yinhai R1218 high-speed train will enter the station in five minutes, please get ready for passengers who get off the train." The sweet voice of the flight attendant echoed in the carriage.

"It's finally here." Nie Fan stretched, packed his luggage and prepared to get out of the car, this was the first time he had left Ningdong.

He is eighteen years old, about 1.75 meters, and his appearance is not particularly outstanding, but his face is angular, his nose is straight, his lips are moderately thick, his short hair is black and thick, and he is handsome with a hint of toughness, his body is straight, and his actions are neat, giving people a sense of decisiveness and ability, which is a bit of a match for his age.

"Young man, you're a soldier, aren't you?" An old man in a gray short-sleeved shirt next to him asked with a smile.

"Uncle, it used to be, but now it's not, and I'll come back after two years of military service." Nie Fan smiled faintly.

"No wonder, I think I also served in the military back then, and I was from the 27th Brigade of the Air Force, but now I'm old." The old man showed a look of reminiscence.

Nie Fan understands the mood of this old man, people always like to recall the past when they are old, but Nie Fan didn't have time to listen to him slowly here, so he put his backpack on his back: "Uncle, it's time for me to get off." ”

"Hehe, okay, young man, have a nice trip."

Nie Fan picked up a thick notebook next to the sleeper bed, there were about hundreds of pages, the surface was very worn, seeing this notebook, a trace of sadness rose in his heart, this was the only object that his father left him before coming to Yinhai, saying that it was the only object left to him by his father. Such a thick notebook, coupled with a small font, has at least a few million words in it. He hadn't had time to finish reading it yet, he just took it with him.

The train stopped smoothly, Nie Fan dragged the trolley box out of the carriage, looked around, this was the first time he came to the city of Yinhai, all the way, the marble paved ground was crystal clear, there was no garbage in sight, and the whole station was very spacious and tidy. Nie Fan used to live in a small remote city, and when he came to such a bustling metropolis at once, he felt a little uncomfortable, no matter what, let's settle down here first.

Inside the station, there are billboards promoting a virtual game called Dictatorial Sword, which will be in full beta across the Federation in three days. Along the way, the advertisements for the sword of dictatorship can be described as overwhelming.

In this era of extreme surplus of material conditions, virtual games are one of people's main pastimes, because once you enter the virtual game, it is equivalent to entering another world of time and space, releasing the depression in real life, looking for a different kind of life, the Federation has done statistics before, the coverage rate of virtual games, reached 89%, and the consumption of countless players in the game every year has also reached an amazing level.

Nie Fan had played a few virtual games before, but he didn't have any special talent, he could only be regarded as an ordinary player, and then he didn't play it for various reasons.

Walking along the flow of people towards the exit of the station, some large screens playing TV in the station are broadcasting the news of major studios recruiting professional players, and the top 50 studios in Silversea are all recruiting professional players with good skills at high salaries, fully preparing for the battle, ready to enter the sword of dictatorship. The poaching phenomenon between studios has also intensified, and those top-ranked professional players have doubled their value one by one.

Nie Fan often pays attention to the news, because there are many people who play virtual online games now, those master-level professional players have no less treatment than stars, and the annual league bonuses, advertising endorsements, and various sponsorships have a very amazing income. Nie Fan remembers that when he was a child, his father was a very famous professional gamer, ranked third in China, and was very prosperous, but when he was twelve years old, his father suddenly stopped being a professional gamer, and owed a lot of debt, and their family was also poor, and three years later, his father died in a car accident, and Nie Fan and his mother fell into great grief.

Since then, Nie Fan seems to have grown up suddenly, began to take on housework, and dropped out of school early to work. He didn't want to hide under his parents' wings like other seventeen or eighteen-year-olds, but sometimes, he had to learn to take responsibility.

As he was pondering, he unconsciously reached the exit of the station when a crisp shout interrupted his thoughts.

"Hey, you're Nie Fan, right?"

Nie Fan followed the prestige, couldn't help but light up, only to see a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl walking towards this side, she is not very tall, about one meter six, but the figure is exquisite, under the backdrop of a goose yellow short skirt, showing a kind of graceful charm, a black hair like a waterfall down, straight down the waist, delicate melon seed face, pink cheeks white and red, under the thick eyelashes is a pair of clear and transparent eyes, smart eyes can not hide her deliberately hidden playful personality.

"I'm Nie Fan, ...... are you?" Nie Fan didn't know how the beautiful woman in front of him could know herself, so he was a little stunned for a while, and only after a while did he ask.

"You don't remember me?" The girl glanced at Nie Fan with disgust, her slightly pursed lips were as crystal clear as jelly, but then her eyes rolled, as if she thought of something, her face showed a trace of inconspicuous pride, and she squinted her eyes with a smile, her smile was like a touch of sunshine in winter, giving people a warm vitality.

Nie Fan listened to her words, looked at her expression, a trace of long-lost memory floated from his mind, the contours of her cheeks had a hint of déjà vu, Nie Fan suddenly said in surprise: "You are Lin Xinyan?" ”

"You finally remember." Lin Xinyan curled the corners of her mouth and looked at Nie Fan with a smile.

"Uncle Lin didn't come?" Nie Fan asked suspiciously, he thought it was Uncle Lin who picked up the station.

"My dad went on a business trip, let's go, my dad said to let you live in my house first recently." A mysterious smile flashed at the corner of Lin Xinyan's mouth, you kid has finally come to my territory, see how I avenged the revenge I had when I was a child!

Nie Fan dragged his luggage and followed behind Lin Xinyan, looking at the slender figure in front of him, still immersed in an unreal feeling.

His memory of Lin Xinyan only stayed when he was six or seven years old, and the parents of both sides were world friends, so the two families had contacts from time to time, but at that time he and Lin Xinyan were not very opposed, and often fought, and later Nie Fan's family moved to Ningdong, and the two families moved around less, Uncle Lin would only run to Ningdong once or twice during the New Year's holidays, but I didn't expect that the ugly girl who was spicy and naughty and liked to scratch people with her nails back then is so beautiful now, I don't know how many people I want to charm in school, You can see this by looking at the pedestrians around you who are stopping to look this way.

Nie Fan couldn't help but sigh, time flies so fast.

"Uncle Lin is out, wouldn't it be good?" Nie Fan hurried a few steps to catch up and said hesitantly.

"Can you go anywhere else but my house?" Lin Xinyan glanced at Nie Fan, when did this stinky boy become so polite, he was never soft when he grabbed his toys when he was a child.

"I'm sorry for you and my uncle, when I find a job, I will definitely rent it out as soon as possible." Nie Fan didn't want to keep sending people under the fence.

"Are you going to look for a job here and stop studying? What are you going to do? Lin Xinyan asked in amazement, she remembered that Nie Fan was the same age as herself, and she should still be in school at this age, before she heard her father say that Nie Fan was coming here, she thought that Nie Fan was going to transfer over.

"I can do a lot of work, waiter, security guard, or bodyguard." Nie Fan said.

"Yinhai has long popularized intelligent robots, and waiters and security guards can't take your turn at all. As for the bodyguards, you? Forget it. Lin Xinyan looked at Nie Fan with a smile, Nie Fan was 1.75 meters tall, wearing a loose coat, and his figure was slightly thin, which was not compatible with the burly, just this body was not enough for others to fight.

"I've done all of these jobs, and I'm not worse than others." Nie Fan knew what she was thinking as soon as he saw Lin Xinyan's eyes, and explained with a smile that his last job was to be a bodyguard for a wealthy businessman, and the employer was very satisfied, but Nie Fan found out that the employer had dealings with **, so he resigned decisively.

Lin Xinyan glanced at Nie Fan in surprise, and suddenly remembered that her father seemed to have told her a few years ago, Nie Fan dropped out of school at the age of fifteen and started working, and he must have suffered a lot over the years, and then thought about his superior life, he said so heartlessly just now, he couldn't help blushing, and said apologetically: "Just now...... I'm sorry. ”

"Nothing." Nie Fan smiled indifferently, he knew that Lin Xinyan had no malicious intent.

Nie Fan has changed a lot, Lin Xinyan originally wanted to wait for Nie Fan to come over and tease him, but now she slowly put away such thoughts.

Nie Fan noticed the change in Lin Xinyan's attitude, and raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't need the sympathy of others, thinking about the pitiful seven hundred yuan in his wallet, in the bustling metropolis of Yinhai, I am afraid that even a week's rent is not enough, so he can only live in Lin Xinyan's house temporarily, Uncle Lin is willing to take him in, this kindness he remembers in his heart, he doesn't believe that he can't find a job, after finding a job, he will be able to gain a foothold in this city, and then return this kindness.

The two said that they had already left the station, Lin Xinyan walked to a red Lamborghini, opened the door and said, "Get in the car." ”

"This car is yours?" Nie Fan asked in surprise, looking at the red Lamborghini in front of him, with perfect lines, bright luster, and a hint of pungent wildness in the stunning, it was really suitable for Lin Xinyan.

"Hmm." Lin Xinyan skillfully started the car.

Nie Fan was silent for a moment, opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

The red Lamborghini whistled away.

"Nie Fan, are you interested in being a professional player, my cousin's studio is recruiting, you can go there and try it." Lin Xinyan suddenly thought of something, and asked Nie Fan while driving.

"Pro gamer? I probably won't be able to. Nie Fan shook his head, he didn't seem to have much talent for playing games.

"No one can just start out, you can try it, and in three days the sword of dictatorship will be opened, and if you miss it, you won't have a chance." Lin Xinyan excitedly encouraged, "Even if you are a production professional player, you can still have a relatively good income without any technology." At first, there is only a basic salary, and when you do well later, you will get an additional bonus. ”

"Alright then, I'll try." Nie Fan thought about it for a while and agreed, seeing that Lin Xinyan was so excited, it was not easy to refuse, after all, she was also kind, even if she was only a low-end professional gamer, it was better than not finding a job. I heard that professional gamers can do it at night, and it doesn't conflict with the daytime work. In this way, he can find two jobs, he doesn't want to live in Lin Xinyan's house all the time, and professional players are a good try.

"Great, my cousin is short of manpower, so I'll call him." Seeing Nie Fan agree, Lin Xinyan happily dialed and said, "Uncle Nie was one of the top three masters in the entire Chinese region, Nie Fan, I believe you can too." ”

"I hope so." Nie Fan looked at the scene that was speeding by the car, his thoughts drifted into the distance, he didn't expect him to follow his father's old path again, he wanted to know what kind of mood his father was in when he rushed to the third place in the professional rankings, what happened, and finally had to quit gloomily.

Silversea, 16th floor of the Whirlwind Building, the headquarters of the Wind Wings Studio.

"Brother, he is the Nie Fan I told you, how do you look at him?" Lin Xinyan familiarly took Nie Fan into an office, looked at a young man behind the desk and introduced.

The man was about twenty-six or seventeen years old, wearing a formal suit, sitting there without seeing his height, there was a bit of similarity between his eyebrows and Lin Xinyan, his expression was solemn, and he looked capable and steady. He is Lin Xinyan's cousin, Lin Quan, the owner of the Wind Wings Studio. Wind Wings Studios once broke into the top 20 in China, and Lin Quan is also a legendary figure.

Lin Quan's sharp eyes looked at Nie Fan, nodded and said, "You are Nie Fan, I heard my uncle talk about you, you just arrived in Yinhai today, right?" ”

"Yes." Nie Fan nodded calmly.

"Although you were brought by Xinyan, if you want to join the Wings of the Wind, I must first know some of your situation, I ask you some questions, and you can answer them truthfully."

"yes, okay." Nie Fan said, Lin Quan invisibly gave him a trace of pressure, but fortunately, he had been in the society for several years, and he didn't seem nervous.

"Have you ever played a virtual game before?"

Nie Fan nodded: "Played." ”

"What have you played?" Lin Quan continued to ask.

"The Flood, the Legend of Enzes, the Faith"

"How many levels have you played?"

"Fifty-seven, fifty-one, one hundred and twenty-one."

"The level is too low." Lin Quan shook his head, this level is not a master level at all, not even average, "Have you ever practiced an auxiliary profession?" ”

"Nope." Nie Fan shook his head honestly, thinking that this job was probably out of play.

Sure enough, Lin Quan shook his head, leaned back in the chair and said, "It seems that you don't play much virtual games, and it remains to be seen whether you can reach the level of a professional player. ”

After listening to Lin Quan's words, Nie Fan nodded in understanding, what the other party said was indeed the truth, after all, the studio is a profit-making organization, if the recruited employees can't help them make a profit, then why should they be recruited?

As soon as Lin Xinyan heard Lin Quan say this, she immediately became anxious, hurriedly poured a cup of tea, brought it to Lin Quan, and said coquettishly, "Brother, you just accept him, Uncle Nie hurt me at the beginning, and he once rushed to third place in the ranking of professional players in China, believe me, his son will not be bad." Knowing Nie Fan's current situation, she naturally wanted to help Nie Fan as kind.

"I know that." Lin Quan glanced at Lin Xinyan helplessly, and said with a smile, "I haven't finished my words yet, what I said before was the general situation." That's it, Nie Fan, with your current strength, it is impossible to join the studio, as for how much potential you have, it remains to be seen, for the time being, arrange for you to be a peripheral member first, as long as you complete the tasks arranged by the studio every month, we will not restrict your freedom, as long as you complete the task, you can do anything at other times, if the level and technology can reach the level, you can become an internal member, if you can't complete the task, then you can only leave, the salary is two thousand yuan per month, Under normal circumstances, there will be bonus income after three months, ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands. ”

Nie Fan already wanted to give up, but he didn't expect Lin Quan to finally decide to leave him behind, it should be for Lin Xinyan's sake to accept him, having a job with a salary of two thousand is already very good for him, and said, "Thank you." ”

Lin Quan said: "You're welcome, anyway, the peripheral members are dispensable to the studio, whether they can stay or not, in the end, it depends on you." ”

The word dispensable is a bit harsh, but the reality is true, unless Nie Fan can prove his worth, he will not be underestimated.

"Thank you, brother!" Lin Xinyan smiled with bent eyes, particularly playful and lovely.

Lin Quan scratched Lin Xinyan's nose and said, "You girl, the sword of dictatorship is about to open, I will be very busy for a while in the next period, as long as you don't come to make trouble, I will be very satisfied." ”

"Don't worry, brother, I understand." Lin Xinyan grinned and grimaced at Nie Fan.

"Okay, you go out first, I still have something to say to Nie Fan." Lin Quan patted Lin Xinyan's head.

Lin Xinyan looked at Lin Quan suspiciously, then at Nie Fan, wondering what Lin Quan was going to say to Nie Fan, hesitated and nodded, "Okay, then I'll go out first." She turned and went out, and gently closed the door.
