Chapter 139: New Hires
Warring States Building, 75th floor.
Su Wan was interviewing a group of newly arrived young people.
“Your interview results are out. You meet the requirements of our game studio. Here is our confidentiality contract. Once you sign it, you can receive your Gaming Helmet and officially join the company.”
This time, the studio had hired twelve newcomers in one go.
Nine men and three women. All twelve looked extremely excited.
“I did not expect there to be such a high-paying job in game gold-farming.”
“Wow!”
“Game studios are this upscale now?”
“The CBD district! Is this entire building owned by our company? That is incredible!”
“And we actually get to live here…”“This is unbelievable.”
“I feel like I could sign for a lifetime.”
After everyone signed the confidentiality agreements, Su Wan led them toward the elevators.
“Yes.”
“Our company places great emphasis on employee benefits. In addition to a free cafeteria and a gym, we also provide individual luxury apartments. If you need one, you can collect your key and move in immediately.”
“Huh.”
Just then, someone stepped out from the elevator.
Su Wangchuan emerged and immediately heard the lively chatter and the sound of many footsteps. He halted, visibly surprised.
“The company hired people again?”
“Of course. Warring States is such a large company. We definitely have to fill our headcount,” Su Wan said as she stopped in front of him and looked him up and down. “You came to see me?”
Obviously.
On this floor, she was the only actual employee, was she not?
Su Wangchuan rubbed the side of his nose. Deciding to give Supervisor Su some face in front of the new employees, he nodded.
“About our last deal—the five Second-Rank martial arts you promised. Why have they not arrived yet?”
“Come on. Collecting Second-Rank martial arts takes time. They have to be sent to you from all over the Southern Sky Continent. The journey alone takes many days, and the escort agency also needs to make sure there is enough cargo before formally starting a run… Just wait. In about three or four more days, it should be ready.”
Her answer made him frown. He had only come over briefly to check.
“Hi! Handsome, do you remember me?”
At that moment, from within the crowd, a slender girl recognized Su Wangchuan and waved at him enthusiastically.
Both Su Wangchuan and Su Wan paused.
“A friend?” Su Wan asked, pushing her glasses up slightly. A white glare flashed across the lenses.
Su Wangchuan recognized the girl.
She was the streamer called Taotao. He had once helped her throw out some trash.
He had not expected a relationship “emotional companion” streamer with three hundred thousand followers to come here to grind in a game.
“A neighbor,” Su Wangchuan explained. Then he waved and asked, “You are a popular streamer. Why would you come to grind in a game?”
“What popular streamer? I make only two or three thousand RMB a month, all right? How can that compare to this—earning over ten thousand a month! Senior, please take care of me in the future.”
Taotao blinked her peach-blossom eyes, fluttering them repeatedly.
Over ten thousand a month?
Su Wangchuan was momentarily distracted.
How long had it been since he paid attention to his salary?
Just to stay alive, he had stopped caring how much money remained in his account.
“All right, I have things to do. I will get back to work. Good luck, all of you.”
He did not want too much involvement with the newcomers. He waved goodbye and left.
“So handsome.”
“Your neighbor has such a good build—he looks amazing. Is he single?” The other two young women were already trying to pry information from Taotao.
Taotao entered the elevator and asked Su Wan, “Supervisor Su, how long has he been here? Did he join the gold-farming team like us?”
“Him?”
Su Wan pushed her glasses again.
“He is an old hand in the company. He is no longer part of the gold-farming team. His monthly income is very high—over one million. If you have nothing to do, do not go bother him. He is our cash cow.”
“Huh?!”
“One million?! Per month?!”
Inside the elevator, the young people were dumbfounded, their eyes shining.
Taotao stood there as if stunned, unable to believe it.
“Playing games and earning a million a month? Is that real?”
“It is real,” Su Wan said with a faint smile.
“He works extremely hard—every day from six in the morning until midnight. And he is a fitness content creator. His physical condition is far stronger than yours, so he can achieve that level… For ordinary people, perhaps only one out of a hundred can do it.”
The group immediately became dispirited.
But several of the men still had a sharp gleam in their eyes, as if they had been injected with adrenaline and found their direction.
…
Su Wangchuan did not know that Su Wan had already set him up as the company’s exemplar, using him for free to motivate the newcomers.
After learning that the Second-Rank martial arts would take a few more days to arrive…
He felt as though one worry had been set aside.
He returned to his room and continued cultivating 《Green Robe Dance》.
Its experience value had reached 234. After cultivating for another half day, he would be able to break through to “Practice Makes Perfect.”
…
In a room resembling an activity hall, Instructor Yu had already guided the twelve new hires to log into 《spirit realm》 and had them report their birthplaces.
Some were born in villages within Huishui County.
A few appeared in villages near Heilong County.
Instructor Yu recorded each person’s location, then began notifying nearby gold-farming team members to go retrieve them.
Lin Dahai’s side received two more newcomers.
Taotao suddenly asked an extra question.
“Instructor Yu, your company has a tall, handsome young man who just came in. I think his name is Su Wangchuan. Do you know him?”
Instructor Yu fixed his gaze on Taotao and asked, “You know him?”
“I just saw him on the seventy-fifth floor. He is my neighbor.”
“Supervisor Su said he earns over a million a month now. Is that true?”
“Our game currency is worth that much?”
The newcomers had been deeply impressed by Su Wangchuan and began discussing him in hushed, excited voices.
Instructor Yu remained silent for a moment, then nodded.
“It is more than a million.”
He looked at them steadily.
“If you can carry out the company’s rules meticulously, protect your game character well, and complete your assigned tasks, then you may also have a chance to earn a million a month.”
“Really?!”
The group instantly lit up as though injected with stimulants, their eyes blazing with anticipation.
“But over the years,” Instructor Yu continued calmly, “there have also been quite a few people who violated regulations, leaked game information, or failed to protect their game characters. Their accounts were deleted, causing enormous losses to the company. They were dismissed and reduced to nothing.”
His words sobered everyone at once.
“Instructor Yu, please rest assured. We will strictly abide by the company’s rules and maintain absolute confidentiality!”
“That is right!”
“We will unconditionally carry out every order from the company!”
“Forget a million—if you give me one hundred thousand a month, I would sell my life to the company,” someone said half-jokingly to show loyalty.
Instructor Yu cast that person a sidelong glance and let out a faint, cold chuckle.
“Go on. Meet up with your in-game contacts first. Follow their instructions and familiarize yourselves with the game. Focus on completing the tasks in your hands.”
Only after the entire group had logged into 《spirit realm》 did he let out a long sigh and step outside.
“This is already the third batch of newcomers this month.”
Instructor Yu had a very bad feeling about it.
