An hour later, Lu Pingchuan finally picked up his personal belongings in the corridor - the hasty change of fortune made him unable to prepare even a decent bag, so he had no choice but to use a thin quilt as a wrapping cloth, hastily beat everything into a burden, and stumbled down the stairs all the way. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The last phone call before leaving the old building completely shattered Lu Pingchuan's last delusion: he called a colleague in Hu Beibei's company, and the other party told him that Hu Beibei had officially left his job three days ago.

Outside the building is the lights of thousands of homes, and inside the building there are all his belongings. When I came, I was full of ambition, and when I went, I was inseparable. Lu Pingchuan stood under the flickering voice-activated lights and couldn't help laughing......

He dragged his luggage and walked aimlessly along the road until the strength of his legs was completely exhausted, and Lu Pingchuan fell to the edge of the road with his knees weak. The roast duck that had been hanging on his hand was overturned, and the cold duck had lost the slightest aroma. But Lu Pingchuan sat on the side of the road, grabbed a duck leg, buried his face in the duck meat and opened his mouth to chew it.

The taste buds are almost non-functional, just biting, swallowing, biting, and swallowing again...... The stomach, which had been hungry for a long time, took control of his body instead of reason at this moment, ignoring the eyes of pedestrians, Lu Pingchuan just stuffed meat into his mouth one after another, eating his face full of oil and tears.

“…… It's you? When he was gobbling up, a pair of delicate black high heels suddenly appeared in front of him, Lu Pingchuan's eyes unconsciously glanced up along the high heels, and saw a pair of slender calves wrapped in black translucent stockings...... The owner of the calf has a nice voice, but the accent is slightly strange, "You are...... Mr. Lu Pingchuan? ”

Lu Pingchuan was stunned, the pair of black silk calves in front of him were indeed very beautiful and good-looking, but at this moment, even the Heavenly King Lao Tzu could not stop his determination to solve the roast duck on the spot! The mouth full of meat made it difficult for him to breathe, but the action of stuffing meat into his mouth did not stop, and at this time, Lu Pingchuan had degenerated into the most stupid single-celled creature, and he had nothing else to think about except eating and choking himself.

"Mr. Lu!" The owner of the beautiful leg was not scared away, but sat down and reached out to hold down Lu Pingchuan's right hand, which was still stuffing meat into his mouth. Interrupted from eating, Lu Pingchuan finally looked up, but this glance was enough to make him stop chewing - the exotic woman in front of him was so beautiful that she shook Hu Beibei's dozens of airstrips, and at this moment, her dark blue eyes were looking at her steadily, and there was even a little concern in her eyes.

"Hmm...... Grunt...... Ahem, ahem! Lu Pingchuan almost rolled his eyes and swallowed the duck meat in his mouth, and the rude swallowing brought a dull pain to the esophagus, reminding him that this was not a dream. Lu Pingchuan wiped the greasy mouth with his sleeve, and looked at the woman in front of him carefully-silver-haired, snow-skinned, well-dressed and proper, and her body exuded the elegant fragrance of high-end perfume...... He was sure that he had never seen such a person, because forgetting such a snow-carved beauty was simply an impossible task for a straight man.

"You...... Who is it? It was easy to swallow the minced meat in his mouth, Lu Pingchuan asked embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, you don't know me yet, but we've been looking for you." The beauty smiled, took out a handkerchief from her briefcase naturally, and wiped the oil stains on the corners of her mouth and hands for Lu Pingchuan, "The activity plan you made during your tenure at Diwen Media Company is very surprising, and we went to your alma mater to review your records and papers afterwards...... We're pretty sure you're the kind of person we've been looking for. ”

"Wait......" Although the other party's Chinese spoke fluently and clearly, Lu Pingchuan was still confused: Di Wen was the name of the company he worked for before, but these beautiful comments later...... It seems that no matter how you think about it, you can't relate to the same self as the current lost dog, "That...... I think you've probably mistaken someone......"

"Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Elise, and I am the general affairs manager of a multinational game company, and this is my business card." The beauty still handed over the business card to herself, and Lu Pingchuan hurriedly rubbed her hand on the torn suit several times before she could take it: "Miss Elise...... You probably really recognized the wrong person, right? I haven't applied for a job with any game companies, and I haven't taken on any game-related projects before. ”

"On the Practicality of the Ideas of the Hundred Schools of Thought of the Pre-Qin Dynasty and Its Combined Application in the Development of Modern Society and Humanities", if this is the title of your graduation thesis, I am not looking for the wrong object." Elise smiled, Lu Pingchuan only felt that his face was hot--passers-by on the side of the street were looking at the man and woman in surprise at the moment--under the dim street lamp, a thin sheet was scattered with debris, and next to their sloppy master sat an elegant woman, such a combination of scenes could be directly listed to stage an absurd drama.

"I wrote it, but ......" Lu Pingchuan felt that his brain circuits seemed to be a little inadequate—the paper was indeed written by him, but the comments given by the tutor at that time were "too vague and exaggerated", and the score was only just over the line. And that plan is impossible to be implemented, and it will not be announced to a third party, where is the other party? And how did you become interested in him, a nobody?

"We just came from your temporary place and the landlord said you had moved out, so I didn't expect to meet you here, so we were so lucky...... It's a bit abrupt at this late hour, but could you go somewhere else and talk about it in detail? Elise got up and patted the corner of her skirt and pointed to the silver Aston Martin parked across the road, "If you don't mind, we can continue the conversation in a more comfortable environment, and the hotel where I stay is nearby." ”

"Huh? But...... At this time......" Before Lu Pingchuan could react, the other party had already lifted the furoshiro behind him with one hand, and grabbed his arm with the other hand and pulled him towards the sports car: "It won't take up a lot of your time, but I don't think you want to miss an opportunity to change the trajectory of your life!" I advise you personally, do not refuse! ”

When the car stopped in front of a five-star resort hotel five blocks away from the rental house, Lu Pingchuan felt a little dizzy. Elise parked the car in front of the hotel, handed the key to the greeter, and led him to the sightseeing elevator to the panoramic suite on the top floor of the hotel. Unexpectedly, she even brought a maid and a housekeeper! As soon as he entered the door, someone took the coat, handed him a change of clothes and pants, and motioned for Lu Pingchuan to follow him into the bathroom and cloakroom with internal and external separation When he changed clothes, Lu Pingchuan really thought that he had strayed into the YY brain hole of a female frequency author - the difference was that the protagonist had changed.

"Don't get me wrong, it's just a change of clothes." Looking at Lu Pingchuan with a shocked face, Elise couldn't help laughing, "I just think that changing into a refreshing dress is more conducive to our next negotiations." You're the target of my boss's attention, and all your expenses here will be paid for by the company, so you don't have to be polite, just let me know if you need anything, as long as you feel comfortable. ”

"Ah...... Yes? Oh......" Agreeing indifferently, Lu Pingchuan followed the housekeeper into the bathroom almost with the same hands and feet. The kind foreign old man turned around and went out after briefly pointing out the bathroom utensils in English, leaving Lu Pingchuan alone to look at the figure in the mirror who was wearing an inferior suit and his leather shoes had been torn, and pinched his arm again.

"Pain, pain, pain......" "Sir, What's worry?" Accidentally made a big effort, Lu Pingchuan just cried out in pain, and the old housekeeper asked about it outside the compartment. Lu Pingchuan hurriedly shouted that it was okay, he didn't dare to make another time, and honestly took a shower and changed into the clothes, shoes and socks prepared by Elise. Looking at the shadow in the mirror that was similar to the two of them a few minutes ago, Lu Pingchuan felt unprecedentedly confused and surprised - how could he make a multinational company that seemed to have good strength pay so much attention to it, and send such a beautiful woman to woo her one-on-one, and even know the size of her clothes and shoes clearly?

"Isn't that handsome?" Following the butler out of the cloakroom, Elise had changed into a more comfortable casual dress, leaned on the Roman-style single sofa and stared at Lu Pingchuan with interest. Seeing that the other party's face suddenly became more cramped, Elise didn't continue to joke, and stretched out her hand to make a gesture of "please sit down", "You haven't had dinner yet, you seem to be very hungry just now, do you want to ask the hotel to bring something to eat?" ”

"No, no, I'm not hungry, I'm really not hungry." Recalling the scene on the street just now, Lu Pingchuan really didn't have the courage to eat in front of Elise again. The other party was not reluctant, and after instructing the housekeeper to make tea, he handed a dozen materials in his hand to Lu Pingchuan: "This is the introduction of the project that the company is preparing, you can browse it first, and ask me if you don't understand anything." ”

Taking the stack of not thick printing paper, Lu Pingchuan took a few deep breaths before stabilizing his mind and began to check the documents - the company in Elise's mouth is called "Black Sheep", which is a multinational game company dedicated to adult brain development, headquartered in the United States, and has branches in South America, Europe, Oceania and other places. And what they are recruiting players and preparing in Chinese mainland this time is a live-action competitive game called "The Law of Predation".

The information in the literature is concise - in order to tap into the huge potential of the Asian market, the production company, which has successfully launched three generations of realistic combat games, is recruiting capable full-time gamers in China to serve as closed beta testers. Players need to travel to a realistic scene isolated from the outside world to help the game company complete all the tests. You can quit during this period, but the longer you stay, the higher the reward. Players who beat all of them can get a total of $1 million in prizes, and the first player to complete them all will win a full $3 million!

The amount of the prize money in the information was filled in with Arabic numerals, and Lu Pingchuan counted it several times before he was sure that he was not mistaken. Seeing his doubts, Elise stepped forward and added: "The conditions are indeed a bit harsh, but in order to express our intention to sincerely recruit Chinese players, and in order to allow players to take care of their private lives in advance and devote themselves wholeheartedly to the game, we will provide different amounts of deposits according to the different ratings of each player - your deposit withdrawal limit is up to 10,000 US dollars, which is converted in RMB at today's exchange rate, please count it." ”

"Wait...... Wait a minute! When he opened the two bulging envelopes handed over by Elise, Lu Pingchuan finally couldn't hold back even the calm on the surface, "I...... I haven't agreed to participate in your closed beta yet! I think...... You're probably still getting something wrong...... Although I played games in college, I was never a master, let alone a professional gamer! And, even more so...... What is the cross-border quarantine internal test...... This kind of thing ......"

"I'm sorry that it was a bit abrupt to let you decide in a hurry, please understand." Elise pulled out her laptop from her briefcase and typed a string of characters into the Google search bar with her long fingers, "This is our company's official website for the Americas, and you can also search Twitter or Facebook for the shares of the previous three generations of games from closed beta players." After 48 hours, I will confirm with you whether to sign the contract, and as for the deposit, please accept it first - you are one of the key recruitment targets of our development director, which only represents my sincere invitation to you from the company. ”

Elise's expression and tone were quite solemn, and it was hard to refuse. Lu Pingchuan glanced at the envelope on the coffee table, and then at the decent and kind beauty opposite, and finally suppressed the words that were about to rush out: "I'm sorry, can you let me look at the contract again?" If it's convenient...... I want to be alone and quiet. ”

"Absolutely." Elise smiled, and the butler behind her immediately ushered Lu Pingchuan into the guest room. After closing the door, Lu Pingchuan grabbed the contract and began to study it word by word - the text was divided into Chinese and English, in duplicate, after making sure that all the content was indeed related to the game, and was not mixed with sensitive words such as "organ", "smuggling", "spy", etc., Lu Pingchuan closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and pushed open the door to the living room:

"I've decided, join the closed beta." Facing Elise's inquiring eyes, Lu Pingchuan replied as calmly as possible.

"Welcome to Black Sheep!" Caught off guard, Elise had already stood up and given him a strong hug! The smell of the light perfume that came to his face made Lu Pingchuan think again. Fortunately, Elise didn't last long, and after fully expressing her joy, she patted Lu Pingchuan on the shoulder and handed the contract that had been stamped with the company's seal and personal signature to the other party:

"Within 48 hours, we will take care of your customs clearance documents and travel equipment. During this time, you are free to move around and solve some of your personal problems...... But you don't seem to have a place to stay, do you need us to open another room for you? ”

"No, please take me back to the place we just met, I have some personal matters to take care of." Glancing at the decorative mirror opposite, which was completely different from a few hours ago, Lu Pingchuan stabilized his mind and decided to return to the familiar environment to calm himself down completely, and he didn't like the result of being driven out of the door.

"Absolutely!" Elise turned around and walked into the cloakroom, and within a few minutes, she appeared in a smart and refreshing professional attire, "I have asked the hotel to park the car downstairs, and we can leave at any time." ”

This woman is simply an all-powerful magician! Sighing in his heart, Lu Pingchuan involuntarily quickened his pace, trying to keep up with her brisk figure.

By the time we returned to the familiar old neighborhood, it was already dawn, and the last faint rays of twilight on the horizon were fading away in the face of the ivory white of the east. Elise opened the car door, and watched Lu Pingchuan, who had been refreshed from head to toe, pick up the roll and walk towards the quiet building, and suddenly said:

"Mr. Lu."

"Huh?" Lu Pingchuan turned around when he heard the sound, and saw Elise winking playfully, as if she was an old friend, and quipped: "What a wonderful night, isn't it?" ”

Isn't it wonderful?

Of course!

With a completely different mood and confidence from last night, Lu Pingchuan strode up the stairs and knocked on the landlord's door.

"Who, ...... so early" The familiar sound of radio electricity and the landlord's dissatisfied chatter sounded in the door, and then a gap opened, and when he saw that it was Lu Pingchuan, the landlord was about to close the door without saying a word. Seeing this, Lu Pingchuan hurriedly grabbed a step and stuck the crack in the door: "Sister, don't close the door in a hurry, I'm here to pay the rent!" ”

This is really more effective than Alibaba's sesame open door, the landlord immediately let go, looked him up and down suspiciously, and spit out two words neatly in his wrinkled mouth: "What about money?" ”

"What about this...... This is 2,000 yuan in rent owed to you, I will add another 1,000, and I will stay for two more days, and I will move to my friend's place in two days. Lu Pingchuan took out a stack of banknotes and handed it to the landlord, the old lady took the money, counted it in person, and checked it in front of the sun a few times, and finally put on a smiling face like a bun fold: "Xiao Lu, don't blame the eldest sister for being ruthless yesterday." Now that the bad people in the world are sad for many days, you young people still have the opportunity to go out and break through, and my old woman can only rely on this house to support the elderly......"

"Eldest sister," this time Lu Pingchuan didn't let her keep talking, "What about my computer?" ”

"Oh, yes! It's in your original room, I haven't touched it, so I don't need it. Ignoring the landlord's change of face faster than flipping through a book, Lu Pingchuan stepped into the room in three or two steps with his luggage, and glanced in when he passed by Hu Beibei's room - it was still empty, and it seemed that she had not come back during this time.

As for where she went at this time, who she was with, and why she left, Lu Pingchuan had no interest in delving into it. Last night's adventure gave him too many questions to be asked for verification, and also gave him too much excitement and anticipation. Finding the computer connected to the Internet cable, Lu Pingchuan pointed his fingers and began to search over the wall - it was not a task to find the relevant content of the "Black Sheep" company, Facebook and Twitter each had hundreds of messages and graphic messages from previous generations of gamers from all over the world, and a large number of bonus checks were posted to prove that Elise was indeed true.

After browsing the two-hour post, Lu Pingchuan has a further understanding of Black Sheep: this is indeed a multinational game company with strong financial resources, as of last year, they have completed three game beta tests in the Americas, North Africa and other places, and according to the information and bonuses posted by players, they have once again verified the relevant content information of the contract. Lu Pingchuan also landed on the North American official website revealed by Elise, and the huge bilingual print advertisement in Chinese and English showed that they were indeed recruiting beta players for the fourth generation of games in Chinese mainland.

After downloading several experiential mini-games and expansion packs from the official website, Lu Pingchuan felt the realistic special effects of a large production company and the visual enjoyment comparable to blockbusters. More than an hour passed, and he was still unsatisfied, until his stomach made a long-lost protest, and then he closed the computer and got up to go out to forage for food.

When he was sorting out his bags, Lu Pingchuan unexpectedly touched two large envelopes in the pockets of his new coat - the thick stack of RMB left inside reminded him all the time: this time, he was really patronized by the god of luck.

The next day and a half suddenly became unusually long - during which Lu Pingchuan called his parents at home and said that he had found a well-paid job, but he needed to be sent overseas for training for a period of time. Although the parents were worried, they couldn't reach it, so they could only hang up the phone after a few words of advice. After the communication, Lu Pingchuan turned around and went to the bank and remitted 30,000 yuan to his parents...... The rest of the long and trivial minutes and seconds were spent by Lu Pingchuan on studying the previous game modes of the Black Sheep Company - the temptation of a prize of up to $3 million was just around the corner, and he began to seriously consider how to win the biggest gift of his life.

Time was running slowly, and finally it was the date of reporting to Elise - when Lu Pingchuan came to the entrance of the building with a large bag and a small bag, the silver-white Aston Martin as dazzling as a throne had already stopped outside the door of the building. Elise sat in the cab herself, and when she saw him coming, she greeted him cordially, greeted him, and helped open the door...... Lu Pingchuan deliberately ignored the hot eyes and whispers cast by the neighbors, he put down his luggage by himself, sat in the passenger seat, enjoyed Elise's meticulous service, felt the fresh fragrance in the car and isolated himself from the gray face outside the window, four-wheel drive, and disappeared.

The sun is still shining, and the scenery is unique here!

"How are you feeling now?" As the silver sports car sped down the street, Elise suddenly turned her head slightly, looking at her already oblivious passenger.

"Cool!" Opening the car window and facing the crisp morning breeze, Lu Pingchuan raised his head and closed his eyes, and replied.
