Chapter 6: There is no choice
After a night of thinking, Char decided to participate in the Oneiroi Group's "Dreams Come True" program.
Whether you can become a dream builder and get a decent job is secondary.
Importantly, Char must get the "Dream Elixir" to relieve the headache.
Even if Char clearly felt that the "Sweet Dreams Come True" plan was hiding a trick, he had no choice.
Char looked carefully at the training charter that Ender handed over to him.
To be honest, this page of the so-called training charter can only be regarded as an advertising page, except for some inflammatory words and depicting the good life after becoming a dream builder, there is no substantive content.
This is not surprising.
As a large group of companies, Oneiroi Group does not write trade secrets in the training charter.
Char turned on the computer, re-entered the Oneiroi Group's website, and filled out the application form for the "Dreams Come True" program.
Soon, an online quiz popped up on the webpage, with a total of 100 multiple-choice questions, and Char needed to answer all of them in 10 minutes, with a correct rate of more than 95%, in order to qualify for the training program.
"There are 100 questions, a total of 600 seconds, and only 6 seconds to answer a question. And the accuracy requirement is extremely high. The assessment of becoming a dream builder is simply perverted. It's no wonder that only one dream builder can be trained in a million people. Char was worried, but at this point, he had no room to back down.
Char's fingers tapped on the sensor keyboard, and the originally suspended clock began to turn, and a series of multiple-choice questions appeared in front of his eyes.
Char soon discovers that these seemingly complex questions are actually related to memory.
Lengthy and complicated numbers, letters, words, and graphics disappear in a flash, and they only stay on the retina for three seconds, and then Char has to choose the question he just saw among the four options.
The difficulty of the questions has exceeded the limits of human memory.
However, through the genetic medicine "AND", Char gained the ability to remember because of the blessing in disguise.
This kind of topic beyond the limits of human beings could not be simpler in Char's opinion.
Six minutes passed in a flash, and Char finished answering a hundred questions, and the results quickly appeared on the light screen.
Full marks passed!
Char rubbed her temples, which were a little swollen and painful, and looked as usual.
In his opinion, the topic is too simple, and this is only a preliminary review. Perhaps there will be more difficult and demanding tests to come.
"Congratulations, Mr. Xia!"
A few minutes later, Ender's hologram appeared in front of Char, he was still dressed in a straight suit and polite, with brown eyes with a little surprise: "I really didn't expect that you could really pass such a rigorous test!" And get a good score of perfect marks. From now on, you are a full participant in the third phase of the Make-A-Dream Program. Excuse me, how much do you know about Dream Builders? ”
"I don't know at all." Char replied truthfully.
"Good... I mean it doesn't matter. Please prepare the course materials and report to the training base within three days. Ander bowed slightly and smiled.
"I go to the training, but I have to prepare the course materials myself? Moreover, it is not an online class, but an on-site class? Char was slightly stunned. As far as he knows, 99 percent of the schools in this era are online. Only one percent of aristocratic colleges will choose to teach in person.
What's even more outrageous is why students are asked to prepare their own course materials?
Ander laughs and explains, "Hackers are everywhere. Dream builders are the wealth of the Oneiroi Group, and we must ensure that the training process is not leaked out. Therefore, in-person classes can only be chosen. As for allowing students to prepare their own course materials..."
"If you want to become a dream builder, you must have a huge amount of knowledge to make your dreams colorful and imaginative. Literature, history, and philosophy are all compulsory subjects for dream builders. In addition, art, music, sculpture and other disciplines, dream builders should also be involved. Dream builders need to master too much knowledge to compile a corresponding textbook. And best of all, these courses tend to be fee-based and valuable for a long time. ”
"Oneiroi Group has prepared three levels of course materials, since you are a new student, you can be given a preferential price, the cheapest one is only sold for 3888, and the second one..."
Ander was trying to sell the Dream Builder's course, and Char shook his head and disconnected directly.
"Sure enough, it's a hoax." Char looked at his reflection on the extinguished light screen and felt a little disappointed.
Whether it's a dream builder or a dream potion, it's all bait.
Char, a poor person like Char, who is poor and white, daydreams every day, and if he wants to ascend to the sky and live a good life, he will inevitably be moved.
At the beginning, it was a sky-high course worth 3888, and then the Oneiroi Group would set up a name to squeeze the trainers clean.
It's a very old-fashioned trick, but it works.
Of course, as a large company with a presence in major federal cities, the Make-A-Dreams training program doesn't have to be fake.
But after the trainer spends a lot of time and money, how many people can successfully pass the assessment of the Oneiroi Group and become dream builders?
"What's even more sad is... I knew it was a hoax, it could be a fire pit, but I still had to jump into it. Because... I had no other choice. As the intense headache hit, Char turned on the faucet and splashed tap water with the smell of disinfectant on his face to keep himself awake as much as possible.
For an hour in hell, Char's plaid shirt and jeans were soaked with sweat, and at the same time, hunger was like a cunning and cold snake, crawling out of his stomach and soon sweeping over his body.
Char gritted her teeth, returned to the computer, endured the discomfort, and looked up the price of the relevant course on the Internet.
Ander wasn't lying.
In this day and age, knowledge is synonymous with money.
Anything written in text must be paid to read.
Books on literature, history and philosophy are even more expensive.
The cheapest set of courses also costs 5,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the annual income of ordinary people in the bottom city.
In fact, not to mention thousands, even a few hundred, for Char, who was penniless, it was an astronomical amount.
In desperation, Char walked to the lightless gate leading to Shadow Street, took a deep breath, and rested his palm on the cold door.
Frequent access to Shadow Street will greatly increase the likelihood that Char's true identity will be exposed.
However, Char has been cornered by poverty, so he can only take a risk and try his luck by using his identity as a great witch hermit to enter Shadow Street.
Jingling...
With a crisp wind chime, the white-robed and white-hatted Great Witch Hermit appeared in the Wizard's Bar.
"Look who's coming? Hermit-sama, would you like something to drink? The first cup is free. ”
Bob, the black bartender, said with a smile as he stood behind the bar.
