Chapter 2: Strange Company (2)

"Huh? What is a foreign name?" Shi Kuifa's brow suddenly frowned slightly. What did he think, the old man in front of him was exactly the appearance of a Chinese, with black hair, yellow skin, and black eyes, but he actually reported a foreign name to him.

"Probably a pseudonym." Shi Kuifa secretly wondered. He knows that some companies will require employees to take a foreign name in the company. For example, selling clothes, in a counter, employees call each other, maybe they are all called "Martina", "Amy", "Marie", "Lucy" and the like, and they will not call each other Chinese names. As if using a foreign name, the overall level of this clothing store will be raised a bit.

But Shi Kuifa has always felt that this is very stupid, is it very embarrassing to say the name of the Chinese directly? Obviously, in this world, as long as you act right, walk right, and don't do evil, anyone should not change their name or change their surname, which is worthy of heaven and earth.

"Shouldn't I have to work in this company and have a foreign name?" As soon as he thought of this, Shi Kuifa's heart inexplicably felt a sense of resistance.

The old gentleman had apparently seen Shi Kuifa's thoughts.

"Ah, don't get me wrong, 'Oleg. Reyns is my real name." He said, "Because I'm actually from another world."

"Huh?" His last sentence made Shi Kuifa's head turn on the spot.

"What? Another world?"

"Yes, another world." The old gentleman said, "Actually, I am a person from another world called 'Burlanchin', and I am a magician, and I came to this world from 'Burlanchin' 'escape'."

Shi Kuifa looked at the old gentleman and was stunned for a while, but after a little thought, he immediately understood.

- Oh! That's right, you can't be wrong, these are all interview questions!

- This old gentleman has already started an interview with me.

INTERVIEWER But what exactly is this interview question trying to ask? I remember that the job position was that of a "cultural communicator", and I was required to "follow the company's requirements and spread good Chinese culture and spirit".

– Or is this a game development company? So the old gentleman deliberately said a pseudonym of a foreign name, and began to lay out an overhead character from another world in the dialogue?

Thinking about this, Shi Kuifa had a feeling of sudden realization. But he did not speak, but looked at the old gentleman quietly, waiting for him to continue speaking, and wondering what the old gentleman was going to ask him.

I only heard the old gentleman continue: "Mr. Shi, I can't hide it, it's not that my old king is boasting about selling melons, in fact, I am a very powerful magician, and I am quite knowledgeable, I know all the knowledge in 'Burlanchin' - I dare to say, whether it is magic or learning, in the world of 'Bolanchin', no one can surpass me. Reins, I was known in that world as the 'Crowned Great Sage'."

"'The Crowned Great Sage'? Well, it's a really good game setting." Shi Kuifa couldn't help but feel a little gigned in his heart, and he secretly thought, "It's really a shame that this old gentleman can say it like this......

But I only heard the old gentleman continue: "Mr. Shi, I think you should be puzzled when you hear this—since I, as the 'Crowned Great Sage', know all the magic and knowledge of 'Burlanchin', why did I 'escape' from there and come to this world?"

As soon as these words came out, Shi Kui's heart sank.

- It's coming! First Interview Question!

"Is it because you were 'persecuted'?" He replied uncertainly. Because he thought of the medieval witch hunt in the West, he guessed that perhaps the old gentleman is now using this "historical allusion" as the background setting for his alternate world character.

Unexpectedly, the old gentleman said with a straight face: "No, it's because of 'disappointment' and my 'incompetence'."

"Huh?" Shi Kuifa was puzzled.

I saw this man named "Oleg. The old gentleman Reins said solemnly, "Mr. Shi, Bourlanchin is actually a very large, but chaotic continent with seven large countries and many small states that actually have only one or two city-states. And the continuous wars between countries have been more than 100 years old. In fact, the people of the entire continent have been living in dire straits.

"And I,'Oleg. Reins", although I have been called the "Crowned Great Sage" by "Burlanchin", I have found that all the magic I know, and all the knowledge I know, cannot completely solve all the chaos in that world, and I cannot think of a way to completely solve the turmoil of "Burlanchin".

"When I think about this, I feel very 'disappointed' in myself, the so-called titles, praises, are just personal. In the face of all the chaos in the world, these titles, praises, but only highlight my "incompetence". The more the people of Burlanchin praise me and sing my praises, the more I feel that I am overdone and ashamed, because I cannot save the world, I cannot prevent wars between nations, I cannot prevent the great turmoil and tragedy of the world.

"So, I chose to leave. I used my magic to leave Bourlanchin, to escape from a world where I felt powerless, and to begin to wander through all the civilizations in the universe, and I traveled through each planet, each of which was different, for a period of time. I want to find a way to solve the turmoil of more than a hundred years in these foreign civilizations that can be applied to the continent of 'Burranchin', and transplant it back to the continent of 'Burlanchin'.

"I searched for a long, long time, until I was completely old, and then I came here, this planet, the earth, and then I went to this Asian region, to this country, yes, Mr. Shi, it's your country, China."

Speaking of this, the old man's originally serious expression gradually began to become slightly excited, "Then I found it! Mr. Shi, everything here is the antidote to 'Burlanchin'! Chinese culture, Chinese culture, I have lived here for more than ten years, I have studied all the history of this country, and observed the current state of civilization and progress in society, this country from ancient times to the present, the ancient civilization of more than 5,000 years, can completely solve the never-ending turmoil of "Burlanchin"!

"So, Mr. Shi, I hope to hire you to go to 'Burlanchin' to spread the good Chinese culture and spirit to that world, and put an end to the turmoil in 'Burlanchin' for more than a hundred years! That's what this job is about, 'cultural communicator', 'disseminator of 'Chinese culture'!"

The old gentleman's words have obviously come to an end. Shi Kuifa looked at the old gentleman steadily, but there was a strangeness in his heart.

He was originally judging, and the person in front of him was called "Oleg. The old gentleman of "Reyns" interviewed him with an alternate worldly character and background, and wanted to test his reaction with these questions; But in front of Oleg. Reyns's expression was too serious to look like he was asking interview questions or joking.

But if it weren't for the interview question, Oleg. Everything Reinnes said sounded extremely unbelievable.

"Isn't it ...... This old gentleman is not interviewing, but everything he says, is it true?"

A strange thought suddenly came to me.

But the balance in Shi Kuifa's heart was still inclined to disbelief, because he was a practitioner of historical materialism, so he waited for five seconds after the old gentleman finished saying those words before he spoke.

"Well, Mr. Reyns, then I have a question."

"Please."

"Since you already think that good Chinese culture and spirituality will be the antidote to the turmoil that has been in the Burlanchin for more than a hundred years, why do you stop using magic, travel back in time, and save the world by yourself?"
