Chapter 1: The Legendary Game of Death
"I'm sorry, our company requires a graduate degree or above......"
"I'm sorry, but the company requires more than two years of experience, and does not recruit fresh graduates......
As a graduate of a third-rate university, when he found that he couldn't even hand out his resume, Su Yan finally understood what graduation meant to be unemployed, especially in the global economic downturn, and the financial management he studied directly became the major with the lowest employment rate.
There was still no gain at today's job fair, and Su Yan was about to leave with a depressed face, when his mobile phone suddenly rang.
"Is it Mr. Su Yan?" The unfamiliar phone number is an extremely sweet female voice over there.
"I'm Su Yan, may I ask who you are?" Su Yan couldn't help but feel a little excited, it was the first time he was called Mr.
"We are New Oriental Mining Co., Ltd., we have received your resume, after research, we think that you meet our job requirements, please come over for an interview in the afternoon."
"Mining company...... I don't know what your job is? In addition to the surprise, Su Yan couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, he had no impression of this company, it was estimated that he accidentally applied for it when he was throwing his resume around at the job fair before, and this situation would definitely leave a bad impression on the other party.
"We are a mining company, so the position we are recruiting for this time is naturally miners." The voice on the phone was still sweet, and it didn't seem to be angry at all.
"Miner ......?" The corners of Su Yan's mouth twitched slightly, thinking of the newspaper reports about those small coal kilns, and he immediately had the urge to hang up the phone.
"Yes, the basic salary is 8,000 yuan per month, including food and lodging, and the daily working hours can be arranged by yourself......
"Eight thousand...... Where is your company located? I'll go over here! ”
***************
Unexpectedly, the mining company, which had never heard of before, was so enthusiastic that it offered to send a car to meet it.
However, the address of the company is indeed remote, Su Yan sat in the car and bumped all the way for several hours, looking at the desolate scene outside the car window, it is estimated that he has arrived at the outskirts of the city.
"Haven't we arrived yet?" Su Yan was already a little worried in his heart, after all, when he hadn't graduated yet, he had heard about many MLM agencies seducing and imprisoning job seekers.
"It's coming soon, and the gate of the company is right in front of you." The driver, Xiao Liu, said with a smile.
Su Yan hurriedly stared out of the car window, at this moment the car was driving into a gate, and there was no sign related to the company hanging next to the gate, but there were two doormen standing straight next to it.
Originally, I thought it was just a security guard hired by the company, but when I got closer, I saw that it was a regular soldier standing with a gun.
When Su Yan nervously followed the reception staff into the interview room, he found that there were already three people sitting inside, judging from the resumes and documents held by several people, they should all be competitors who came to apply.
To his surprise, there was a girl among the three, extremely delicate, a typical southern beauty, and when his eyes inadvertently fell on a young man with an arrogant expression, he couldn't help but be stunned, the graduation certificate in the young man's hand was impressively written Tsinghua University, and the other glasses man was also holding a certificate from the University of Science and Technology.
The corners of Su Yan's eyes couldn't help but jump wildly, could it be that the 8,000 monthly salary miner job was so tempting that even these beauties and guys from prestigious universities did not hesitate to come to grab the miner's job with him......
"Welcome to work in our company."
When Su Yan was looking at his surroundings, a fat man walked in with a smile, looking quite amiable, but the words 'Personnel Director' written on the work nameplate on his chest still made the atmosphere in the room suddenly tense and serious.
However, this solemn atmosphere lasted less than half a minute, and it was once again ruined by the smiling fat man himself.
"I wonder if you've ever played an online game?" The fat man, who was smiling and narrowing his eyes into a slit, had just sat down behind his desk when he suddenly asked a startling question.
There was a sudden silence in the room, and several applicants looked at each other, wondering why the fat supervisor had just sat down and talked about the game.
"I've played ...... occasionally" Su Yan finally replied with some embarrassment, he had naturally played a lot of games before, and he was barely a game master, and even abandoned a lot of his studies because of this, but according to the lessons learned from past interview failures, at this time, he basically killed himself by boasting that his game level.
Unexpectedly, the fat director leaned back in the chair a little excitedly, rubbed his fat hands and smiled: "That's good, we just need people who are familiar with the game." ”
"This ...... Does playing games have anything to do with work? The delicate girl asked with some hesitation, her voice soft and glutinous with some Wu Nong accent was very good.
"Of course it matters, our company's business is to mine in games." The fat man smiled and sat up straight again, and his face finally began to look a little serious.
"Mining in the game?!" Su Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and the rest of the people were even more dumbfounded.
"Yes, as long as you complete the specified ore tasks in the game every month, you can get a basic salary of 8000, and the extra ore company will buy at the market price."
The room fell silent again, and apparently no one expected this interview to be like this.
"Mining in the game can get a basic monthly salary of 8000? As far as I know, even the staff of a large game company don't have such a high income. The man with glasses was probably very familiar with the game industry, and asked with a puzzled face.
"Hehe, ordinary games naturally don't have such a high income, have you ever heard of death games?" The fat man suddenly asked with a mysterious expression.
Everyone was stunned again: "What death game?" ”
"It's the kind of game that dies in the game and dies in reality." The fat man still had a smile on his face.
"Oh, you mean that kind of game novel, I read one on the Internet when I was bored lately." Qinghuanan, who had not spoken, nodded suddenly.
"It's not a novel, it's a real death game, which has gone beyond the current scientific scope, and as long as you die in the game, you may cause a mysterious game of death in reality!" The fat man said, his small eyes full of excitement.
Several candidates looked at each other again, and there are a lot of novels and comics about death games these days, but no one would think that games would be real.
"How can that kind of game really exist?"
"Hehe, you haven't experienced how to know that the road doesn't exist, in fact, many people have already revealed the secret of that game, but you all treat it as a science fiction movie and a novel." The fat man laughed.
"That's impossible, according to those novels, since it causes death in reality, it is also possible to bring the abilities in the game to reality." The man with glasses had a look of disbelief on his face, and it was clear that he had read quite a few similar novels as well.
"It's true that you can get the abilities in the game, do you think those Superman and Spider-Man are just imaginary heroes in the movie...... In fact, they are all successful people in that game, like the Iron Man who has been in the limelight recently because he got a set of God of War armor in the game, and the so-called Thor is just learning advanced thunderbolt in the game, of course, more people who have gained powerful abilities through that game still choose to keep a low profile and keep it secret......" The fat man said with a hint of loneliness on his fat face.
"This ...... How could this be ......" The man with glasses was already stunned.
"If you're lucky enough in the game, you also have a chance to become a superhero...... You really don't want to try it? The fat man's words were full of temptation.
"As long as you mine in the game, you can get 8,000 yuan a month?" As a college student in the 21st century, he naturally doesn't believe that the so-called death game can really cause death in reality, which can no longer be explained by science, and he cares more about this job.
"Yes, we are a regular company, and we will sign a formal labor contract with you."
"Does the game really cause death in real life? Will it be dangerous if we enter the game? The delicate girl asked with some hesitation.
"It's true that it will cause real-life death, but don't worry, we're just mining in the game, and we can absolutely guarantee everyone's safety." The fat man regained his signature smile, and took out a few documents and said, "This is the company's labor contract, you can take a look at it first, and if you agree, you can sign it now." ”
Su Yan took the labor contract with some suspicions, and after reading it carefully, he found that the contract in his hand was indeed very standardized, and it also came with a high amount of life insurance, but for some reason he always felt that something was wrong, as if something important was missing from this seemingly perfect contract.
"No problem." Unexpectedly, the seemingly arrogant Tsinghua man just looked at the contract casually and took the lead in signing his name.
"I just hope that game doesn't let me down." The man with glasses seemed to be a little moved by what the fat man said, and agreed to sign the contract without too much hesitation.
The girl read the contract twice very seriously before signing it.
Su Yan hesitated for a moment, although he was still full of doubts about the fat man's words in his heart, but in the end he chose to sign a contract, anyway, he is now poor and almost on the streets, he is not afraid of being deceived, and he also urgently needs a job to solve the problem of food and clothing.
"Okay, now that everyone has signed the contract, then we are now our own people, and I will take you to familiarize yourself with our working environment." The fat man put away the contract and rubbed his fat hands happily, and he was quite resolute in getting things done.
A few people followed the fat man out of the room and into the elevator with suspicion.
However, Su Yan soon felt that something was wrong...... They were on the first floor, but the elevator was running down!
