Chapter 10: Too Much to Giv!
The person in charge of negotiating with Lu Yiming is a middle-aged man surnamed Zhang, for the institute, funding is not a problem, as long as it is a talented person, it is generally Zhao'an.
For this middle-aged man, no matter how he is, he has to ask Lu Yiming to sign a confidentiality agreement to prevent the secret of supernatural events from circulating on a large scale in society.
“…… So on this side, you can think about it. ”
Although his eloquence is very good, the chicken soup is a set of things, including what "for all mankind", "promote social progress", "maintain world peace" and so on.
But very helpless, Lu Yiming is a salted fish with no desire, listening to it, he even wants to doze off a little......
Unlike other back waves, other young people like photography, mountain climbing, flying airplanes, parachuting, or they like to drive a big bus with a beautiful opposite sex in the co-pilot......
But Lu Yiming just wants to be a salted fish, he can live and get by, saving the world or something, it's just thinking too much......
It's nice to have a rich life, but it's not unacceptable to live in a single apartment of less than 20 square meters.
Isn't the otaku gentleman who lives at the end of the corridor also having a good time?
To become a front-line worker, you have to fight with your life!
Isn't it good to live well?
Seeing that Lu Yiming was unmoved, the middle-aged man sighed slightly and took out a document from the folder.
Lu Yiming took the document and glanced at it casually, and the dense text made people dizzy.
The middle-aged man surnamed Zhang said: "Don't be busy refusing first, there are many positions in the Paranormal Research Center, and there is always a suitable one for you." ”
"The first is an information position, that is, responsible for information screening, judging whether there are certain paranormal phenomena in society that need to be dealt with, of which artificial intelligence is the mainstay, supplemented by technical personnel. Artificial intelligence collects suspicious points in the network based on keywords, while humans are responsible for judging ...... Do you understand? ”
"The second type is the technical staff, who are responsible for behind-the-scenes data collation and research on tricks, and provide technical support for artificial intelligence. The development of artificial intelligence requires high academic qualifications, and you should not be able to count on this job. ”
"There is also a third type of front-line staff, who are responsible for personally contacting and investigating the paranormal, that is, the positions where Jin Lili and Zhong Peng are located."
Hearing that he was still unmoved, the middle-aged man said: "Front-line workers are the most scarce, dangerous, and highest-paying jobs, and only people with superpowers can fill them. Every superpower person is rare, and in principle, we don't let frontline employees take too much risk. ”
"It's like this mission, Jin Lili and Zhong Peng, the two of them are only indirectly involved, providing you with some information and weapons, and the main participant is yourself, right? Their risk is manageable. ”
"All in all, if there is really a very high-risk mission, it is more likely that a death row prisoner will be sent to carry it out."
Lu Yiming paused slightly, as if he was also ......
The work of Jin Lili and Zhong Peng, at present, is indeed not too dangerous.
If this is the case, the risks associated with joining the institute are indeed manageable.
As long as there is no high danger to his life, he is still quite excited.
"You've shown your potential in this mission, so you're qualified. Of course, if you don't want to, we won't force it, just sign this confidentiality treaty. By the way, this time the reward for completing the mission, you sign your name. ”
Lu Yiming flipped through the documents, frowning.
What the?!
His eyes widened.
The placement fee for special talents alone is seven figures?
It's still a relatively large seven-digit number!
The so-called placement fee is a subsidy bonus that can be obtained immediately as soon as you join the institute.
Plus, every time you perform a mission, there's a hefty bonus that can go up to eight figures!
Really?
Lu Yiming's heart was beating wildly, this gave ...... Too much!
Recalling his first job, a programming ape of an Internet company, the monthly salary was only 5,000.
I had just graduated from college at that time, and I was still in a mess when I received the first offer of 5,000 yuan in my life. After all, when I was in college, the living expenses were more than 1,000 a month, and it seemed like a lot to earn 5,000 a month.
But now, after entering the society, he knows that with a monthly salary of 5,000, he can only barely live well......
The rent alone costs more than 1,000 yuan, plus food, drink, and communication costs, and there is not much left.
The pie that fell from the sky quickly dealt him a fatal blow and made his head hot.
Done!
It's not that I, Lu Yiming, don't spare my life, but ...... It's really too much to give!
Lu Yiming took a deep breath, and after confirming it again and again, he signed this treaty seriously......
It smells so good!
"Alright, sign your name here."
After completing the task, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face became relaxed, it is not easy to recruit a potential front-line worker, and there are less than 10 in the entire southeast region a year.
He also said: "After signing this treaty, you are not officially hired, and you need to go to the Yunhai City Branch for a comprehensive quality assessment, and the address of the Yunhai City Branch is...... Hope you arrive soon. ”
"Understood, I'll report as soon as possible." Lu Yiming nodded, and he would not miss the promise of what he promised.
And he was vaguely looking forward to getting more confidential information.
This world ...... It's so mysterious.
Mr. Zhang...... Can I ask a few more questions? Lu Yiming asked again.
"Please, if it's within my purview, I'll answer." The middle-aged man said very cautiously, signing this agreement does not mean that Lu Yiming will definitely be able to become his own person, there will still be many processes in between, including political review, physical fitness testing, etc.
Maybe any of the processes won't work, and they'll be brushed off.
Lu Yiming also knew that the other party had some concerns, and asked, "Are there many superpowers in this world?" ”
It's not too much of a secret.
After thinking for a while, Mr. Zhang said: "It's not too much, it's not too much, it's not too much to say less." According to current statistics, the specific proportion is about 1 in 100,000, and this proportion is slowly rising. Five years ago, it was only one in a million. ”
The proportion of 1 in 100,000, based on the calculation of 8 billion people in the world, is a total of 80,000 people, which is indeed quite rare......
The top two top universities have an admission ratio of 3 out of 10,000, which is many times higher than 1 in 100,000.
But what does it mean that the proportion is rising?
Seeing Lu Yiming's puzzled expression, Mr. Zhang smiled and said: "Supernatural phenomena have only appeared more than ten years ago, and they were very rare at the beginning, and the proportion of superpowers is naturally very rare, and most people's superpowers are so weak that they may not even be able to detect them. ”
"You can jump a little higher and run a little faster, what kind of superpower is it?"
"But as time goes by, this inexplicable paranormal phenomenon gradually increases and becomes more and more serious, and the number of superpowers that arise with it also slowly increases."
"The current statistic is about 1 in 100,000."
"There are a lot of people like you who suddenly find themselves with superpowers."
"In response to these disasters, a paranormal research center has been established to deal with these troubles, and by the way, to study how superpowers are created."
"But the law has not yet been discovered, why a small number of people have awakened superpowers, and most people have not. Or maybe some animal suddenly has superpowers and becomes a kind of weird creature...... These are all things that can happen. ”
"What, animals have superpowers, too?"
Lu Yiming's eyes widened, this fact was a bit beyond his expectations.
"Yes, but it's not very large, it's lower than humans, and there are a lot of animals that mutate and become very aggressive. The exact reason for this is unclear. ”
All in all, our scientists speculate that all of this may be due to the fact that the physical rules of the universe are slowly changing. The more the rules of the universe change, the more our lives will deviate from their original trajectory...... Alas, that's not a good thing. ”
"I see......"
Lu Yiming didn't know what to say, if the appearance of superpowers was a blessing and misfortune for him personally, it became an important turning point in his life.
But it's certainly not a good thing for the whole planet, for the whole human civilization.
Because along with the appearance of superpowers, there are some inexplicable and uncontrollable supernatural phenomena......
Like he just experienced, really...... It's horrible!
If he did it again, he might not survive.
Mr. Zhang continued, "The superpowers of individuals are often weak, but some abnormal supernatural phenomena are infinite, and the difference between the two is not insignificant. ”
"Even, some supernatural events are not necessarily caused by life. For example, a chair, a room, a building, a desert can give birth to superpowers. Even with the change of the physical rules of the universe, it is not impossible for the sun to suddenly explode one day......"
"If a supernatural catastrophe with great influence does erupt, it will become extremely difficult to completely cover it up, and society is likely to lose order."
"You know the consequences of losing order...... Not to mention the skyrocketing crime rate, factories are shut down, supermarkets are looted, government credit is bankrupt, and money is reduced to waste paper...... The most important thing for human beings to develop so far is order, and without order is a plate of scattered sand. ”
Lu Yiming nodded, and he thought of the second question: "What do you say about the ferry ticket promised by the person in charge of your Yunhai City, what is it?" ”
Mr. Zhang said: "The question of the ticket is too big for me to answer. If you do get a ticket for two chapters, congratulations in advance. ”
"Mr. Lu Yiming, since you have just signed the agreement, you need to go to the Yunhai City branch for testing and training within a week before you can become a regular employee."
"After that, there will be more access to this knowledge."
"I hope you can deal with your personal affairs as soon as possible and go to the Yunhai City Branch. The training period is confidential, and you won't see friends or family for a month or two, and you'll have to come up with a plausible explanation, but you won't be able to reveal the existence of the Occult Research Center. ”
Lu Yiming took an identity authentication card from his hand and looked at it for a while, this card is a bit like an ID card, hard, with a pretty good texture, and his own photo and identity code on it.
"Understood, I'll be there in the next few days."
After the negotiations, the staff members quickly left, and Jin Lili waved at her and welcomed the new colleague with a smile.
"Hehe, Xiao Lu, there is something to contact us! Goodbye! ”
"Goodbye!"
Closing the door of the room, Lu Yiming lay on the bed with a "poof".
Excited, apprehensive, and a little uneasy.
Tired, really tired......
Today's experience is so exciting, so informative, there is always a feeling that it is not very real.
The peaceful days are shattered, the world is becoming bizarre, and even the entire galaxy, the entire universe is changing!
This kind of thing...... It's too big.
He was a little unrelatable.
Lu Yiming is just a small individual, and it doesn't make much sense to think about things that are involved in the entire universe.
So are there aliens in the universe? Are aliens going through the same story? Maybe the alien planet has been swallowed up by some kind of super catastrophe? If that's the case, the aliens are too pitiful.
Not...... When the sky falls, there are tall people on top, so there is no need to think so much.
Lu Yiming closed his eyes, thinking wildly in his mind......
Suddenly, a blood-red graffiti appeared in front of him, and then a strange desire to merge with the monster appeared.
Lu Yiming had a dream, and he imagined that the scene of himself being slowly eaten was even a little happy from the bottom of his heart.
He jumped out of bed with a bang!
"Isn't this graffiti the one I saw in the stairwell?"
"Isn't that monster dead?"
"No way, I've dissected it...... It should be dead......"
Lu Yiming frowned, trying to give himself an explanation, it may be that this time the fright really impressed him too much, causing it to linger in his mind. There could be other reasons......
He lay down on the bed again, closed his eyes, and prepared to go into a state of rest.
In the moment of drowsiness, this strange hallucination jumped out again...... He was eager to be one with the monster in the stairwell, even though it had been blown to pieces by the bomb, but he still longed, deep down, to be eaten by it......
Lu Yiming raised his right hand and knocked his head hard.
I don't know why, this masochistic behavior is actually a little comfortable, and it makes him feel happy.
He didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly picked up his mobile phone and asked Jin Lili what was going on with him.
"Help, I might be targeted again!"
"You're a broom star, right, being targeted by monsters twice a day?!"
Lu Yiming stubbornly told his situation.
"So that's the case, don't worry too much, it's the psychological sequelae that arise after being mentally attacked, which is very common. It is likely to be a hypnotic effect that will stay with you for a period of time, during which time you will become a happy masochist. (Kobold)"
"Do you think it's so easy to get money for your life? Come to the institute early and get tested, there are very good psychology experts here, and there are some hypnotists who can solve your psychological problems. Don't worry, it's not a big deal. ”
"Okay, got it. But I want to sleep now, and as soon as I close my eyes, I have hallucinations, how should I solve it? ”
Jin Lili sent a message for fear that the world would not be chaotic: "You can find a way to satisfy your masochistic desires, or find something to do, your energy is seriously overdrawn, and you should be able to fall asleep." ”
I picked up a knife and scratched it lightly on the skin, it hurt a little, but there was no bleeding.
I don't know why, this kind of behavior is actually a little pleasant, and from the bottom of his heart, he even wants to draw a little heavier and really bleed himself.
Lu Yiming felt very embarrassed, but he didn't expect that he would become psychopathic in the blink of an eye.
