Eight to nine o'clock is the peak time for bus rides, and the No. 16 bus from the suburbs to the city is even more overcrowded.
Luckily, the university town where Zhou Yi was located was the starting station, and Zhou Yi was able to grab a seat when he got on the bus. Zhou Yi's luck was not very good recently. Not to mention that he was about to escape thousands of miles in the game; in real life, the fast food restaurant where he had been working was not doing well, and the boss decided to close the business, so Zhou Yi had to look for another one.
Just seventy meters to the right of the central square of H City is the busiest road in the entire city. Thirty percent of the city’s capital flows through this central area, which occupies less than 10% of the city’s land.
Various shopping malls and brand stores are lined up here, and you can find all kinds of trendy clothes and fashionable items here.
Two and a half days ago, Zhou Yi found his own job here - Internet cafe administrator.
Although there are many Internet cafes near the university town, and naturally there are many student network administrators, the reason why Zhou Yi took a 10-minute bus ride to the city to work is that the salary of this Internet cafe is extremely high! Almost twice that of ordinary Internet cafe network administrators, but the high salary is not without conditions.
This Internet cafe has put an advertisement online, saying that it only recruits experts in "Jianghu", but it didn't say how expert they are. However, Zhou Yi guessed that he could probably be considered an expert, right
As he was thinking, the half-hour drive passed in a flash. Zhou Yi got off the car with his schoolbag and went straight to the Internet cafe.
The name of this Internet cafe is Bi Hai. Its interior decoration, hardware configuration and environment atmosphere are all top-notch. Zhou Yi, a poor student who is used to the small Internet cafes with smoky and slow rooms around the university town, was dazzled for a moment, feeling like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Zhou Yi walked slowly through the hall and slowly went upstairs. On the third floor of an ordinary residential building, on the security door of No. 05, there was a printed sign with a line of carefully designed large characters "Yi Lou Ting Feng Yu" Studio.
"Leaning on the building to listen to the wind and rain, watching the world indifferently! It's quite artistic!"
In the gaming industry, studios are not uncommon. They are people who make money by earning gold coins, equipment, leveling, and completing tasks for others. If you want to say that this industry is difficult, there is really no threshold, but if you want to make money from it, not everyone can do it. Without solid skills, it is difficult to make a living from this.
About ten years ago, when the online gaming industry was just beginning to flourish, this industry was popular for a while, but later due to the establishment of super-large gaming guilds such as the Temple of Galan, the living space of such studios began to be continuously squeezed. Now there are only a few studios in the industry that are still struggling to survive.
Zhou Yi pressed the doorbell and a woman's voice came from inside: "Who are you looking for?" It was a very pleasant voice.
Zhou Yi immediately responded, "I saw it online. I'm here to apply for the position of network administrator."
The woman uttered a "hmm", and then the door opened.
A girl in a T-shirt was standing at the door. She was about twenty-one or twenty-two years old, with long hair and no makeup. But in Zhou Yi's heart, she already scored 85 points. She was full of youthful aura, which was very much to Zhou Yi's liking.
The woman looked at Zhou Yi curiously and asked doubtfully, "Are you really here to apply for the position of network administrator?"
Zhou Yi nodded in confusion, muttering to himself: What's so strange about applying for a network administrator position? Could I be a fraud
The woman nodded, opened the door and let Zhou Yi in, then turned to everyone and said, "This guy is here to apply for the position of network administrator. Oh, by the way, what's your name?"
Zhou Yi coughed: "Well, my name is Zhou Yi..."
Although the living room is large, it still seems not spacious enough with more than a dozen gaming devices placed on it. However, the devices are all top-notch and much better than those in the Internet cafes outside, which made Zhou Yi drool.
Most of the people in Zhouyi Hall looked up at Zhouyi. Zhouyi had a delicate face and looked quite handsome, but there was still a hint of indifference in their eyes. Many of them even shook their heads slightly, which made Zhouyi confused.
But then the woman who opened the door said to Zhou Yi: "My name is Xu Lu, and I'm the lobby manager of the studio. You see, I'm in charge of the employees with poor skills in the lobby. Come on, come with me to see the boss!"
Following Xu Lu, listening to the high-pitched sound of the big slippers falling on the wooden floor, Zhou Yi smiled and thought that this studio was quite interesting.
Soon, Zhou Yi followed Xu Lu to the door of an office. Xu Lu patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder, motioned him to go in, and then returned to the hall. Zhou Yi took a deep breath and went in.
The simple and elegant office was still a little deserted. There were two gaming devices inside, but a man was playing Jianghu on one of them. When he heard Zhou Yi coming, he quickly quit the game and looked at Zhou Yi with a smile.
Behind another desk, the woman was writing something in silence. Her long black hair was tied up behind her head, which made her look very capable. After hesitating for a while, she slowly walked to the front of the desk and gave Zhou Yi a forced smile.
The woman spoke first: "Hello, we are the owners of this Internet cafe and studio. My name is Cheng Yiyi."
Then the man next to him nodded and smiled: "My name is Fu Ziwen. Hello, handsome boy!"
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "My name is Zhou Yi. I'm here to apply for the position of network administrator."
"Well. Let's register first." Cheng Yiyi took out a notebook from his side and lowered his head to make notes.
"How old are you?"
"0."
"Are you a student?"
"Yeah. Z is still a freshman at the university."
"Wow!" Fu Ziwen on the side immediately praised: "Not bad! What a top student!"
"Where? Where? Good luck, good luck."
Cheng Yiyi, who was standing by, suddenly looked up and asked, "As far as I know, Z University is half an hour's drive away. Why did you come all the way here to be a network administrator?"
"Because the salary is high!" Zhou Yi blurted out without thinking.
Cheng Yiyi frowned for a moment, looking a little unhappy, and said, "You know, we offer such a high salary not just to recruit a network administrator. We hope to be helpful to the studio, so we pay special attention to the requirements. We hope to recruit a master in Jianghu. What do you think?"
"Uh, I know. That... How skilled a master do you want?"
Cheng Yiyi hesitated for a moment, leaned back on the chair and asked, "What sect are you from?"
"Uh... no sect?"
"Then what martial arts did you learn? Do you have any superior martial arts?"
"Superior..." Zhou Yi rolled his eyes and looked up at the ceiling. After thinking carefully for a while, he said, "It seems that there really is none."
At this time, Cheng Yiyi's face had become a little gloomy. Seeing this, Fu Ziwen beside him hurriedly smiled and tried to smooth things over: "It's okay, it's okay! Um... Zhou Yi, what's your ID in the game?"
"I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!"
Bang!
Zhou Yi suddenly seemed to hear the sound of something breaking, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became exciting. (To be continued)
