Chapter 10 Recruitment Season
The audience was amused by Jian Cang’s reaction:
【Hahaha, even though I imagined his expression, I still find it’s so funny! 】
【Jian Darling, can’t blame you. Let alone you, the director probably secretly cried. She never expected that the obstacles created to make it difficult for No. 100 made No. 100 clear the level faster, hahaha. 】
Because of Jian Cang's reminder that "If three walk together, one can be my teacher", Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen grasped the point one after another, opened the electronic lock and walked in.
Ye Yuanyu walked to the opposite side and noticed a handful of stainless steel pipes at the door. There was a lot of wet water on them. "She used water to conduct electricity."
Xiang Chen was confused, "Why does she have pipes and water here?"
Ye Yuanyu looked around again, pointed to the broom head lying pitifully on the ground and said, "The broom was dismantled."
Xiang Chen laughed, "A girl..."
Then he said, "We don't seem to have these props at our side, right?"
Jian Cang guessed, "Because there are only two of them?"
"The program team has to give them a way to survive. Alas, I should have thought of this a long time ago. I was so happy for nothing!"
【Jian Darling, stop talking. If you keep going, the director is really going to cry, hahaha. 】
【They simply wanted to block their way. Who would have thought that the traces of modifying the mechanism would actually become clues for the other party and the stolen tools would become the best aid. 】
【Ain’t that right! Not to mention the wires and brooms, the half bottle of water that someone left behind in the end became an important prop. It’s hilarious. 】
【Okay, after seeing the reactions of the gods, I’m satisfied. Continue to watch No. 99 and No. 100. I finally discover that today’s amusement source is them and get the feedback from the gods here. Their cooperation is excellent. 】
Jiang Yu and Shu Hua, who were remembered by the audience, have already begun the practical stage.
After passing through the glass door, they walked straight to the "Practice Base", which was an activity hall of several hundred square meters. It was divided into several large areas, including a music theory area with musical instruments, a sports area with similar sports equipment; puzzle areas with Klotski, Burr puzzle, Rubik's Cube and the likes; and high-risk and high-yield investment simulation areas such as lottery tickets and investment trading simulators.
After the two stepped into the door, the loudspeaker inside began to announce the rules of this link: "Congratulations on reaching our actual combat exam. Words are but wind, but seeing is believing. Please use your ability to earn as many points as you can in 60 minutes to impress the interviewer.”
"Impress the interviewer? How many points do you need?" Shu Hua asked.
Jiang Yu thought for a while, "The more, the better, or just more than them."
Shu Hua thoughtfully pondered, "So at the end of this period, it’ll probably be ranked according to points."
Jiang Yu thought so too. She and Shu Hua walked along the aisle and visited various areas.
It was discovered that there were corresponding questions in front of the equipment in each area. One can get certain points according to the difficulty level. For example, one can get 30 points for discerning the four songs that were mixed together. One can get 30 points for unlocking the upgraded version of Burr puzzle. One can get 30 points by dancing a song accurately to the dance machine. One can get 100 points by winning a game of chess with NPC. One can get 5 points by winning a game of Five-in-a-row. There was a relatively simple encyclopedia question and answer. Answer it correctly and earn 1 point.
Shu Hua said, "It feels like a talent show."
Jiang Yu nodded. The heroine's summary was quite insightful. This level was indeed an opportunity for everyone to show off their specialties. They can use their specialties to exchange for points. It can test their professionalism and reflect everyone's abilities in the most fair way. It seemed that there was indeed a reason why the "All Rounder" program team was popular.
After understanding the rules, the two returned to the door. Shu Hua ran out and took a look, "They seem to be at the last step. Should we start?"
"Let's go," Jiang Yu directly placed the number plate on the card reader at the door.
The card reader emitted a mechanical electronic sound: "The challenge for applicant No. 100 has begun. The initial points are 25 points. Please submit the total points earned within 60 minutes. Warm reminder: if you exceed 60 minutes, all points earned will be invalid. Please pay attention to the time."
The staff nearby gave Jiang Yu a timer with a countdown of 60 minutes. Jiang Yu put the timer in her pocket and walked straight to the encyclopedia question and answer machine. Shu Hua quickly swiped her number plate and followed closely behind.
The audience followed their gaze and began to discuss the question of this level:
【Isn’t this too simple? Is it similar to rapid questions and answers? 】
【I feel this isn’t right. At bigshot’s level, it should take an average of 10 seconds to answer a question. 6 questions in a minute and 360 questions in 60 minutes. This is 360 points. A game of chess takes 20 minutes at the fastest. So maximum of 300 points can be earned per hour. 】
【Don’t question the rules of the program. Our "All Rounder" program team will not make such low-level mistakes under the abuse bigshots who repeatedly take advantage of loopholes. 】
Sure enough, Shu Hua said, "It seems there are only 100 questions?"
Jiang Yu nodded, "These should be considered basic points for everyone."
"Basic point?" It dawned on Shu Hua, "Oh, that's true. Since we came here and if the score is too low, it doesn't look good. The program team is quite righteous."
Jiang Yu found this amusing, while the audience found it interesting. Within ten seconds, they heard her wailing, "I take back what I just said. The program team is not righteuos at all!"
She looked at the screen full of resentment, "The proposer of mass-energy equation is..."
"Why is this a fill-in-the-blank question? I don't even know what the mass-energy equation is, so how should I know who proposed it?"
Jiang Yu thought for a while and said, "It should be Einstein."
Shu Hua:......
She looked at the next question: "'The ancestor of all kinds of opera and the teacher of all kinds of opera is...' I seem to have heard of this, but I can't remember it."
Jiang Yu tilted her head while filling in her answer, a little unsure, "Kun Opera?"
Shu Hua:......
"Bigshot, what are you studying? How come you know everything!"
Jiang Yu subconsciously answered, "Q University Finance..."
Halfway through, it dawned on that she was no longer Jiang Yu from Q University, but "Jiang Yu" from the Acting Academy and immediately shut her mouth.
Fortunately, Shu Hua thought she was reading the question and didn't pay attention. She just sighed, "I think these are the basic points given to you. In our case, they are probably luck points."
As she said that, she started guessing the answers quickly, "Forget it. Since I don’t know it, I’ll depend on luck."
Jiang Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
When Ye Yuanyu, Xiang Chen and Jian Cang arrived, they saw two figures immersed in answering questions. They didn't know why they were suddenly filled with a sense of urgency.
After they quickly understood the rules, they immediately rushed to the encyclopedia question and answer machine.
Jiang Yu glanced at them and couldn't help but speed up her hand.
However, the encyclopedia questions and answers really covered the encyclopedia. It was much more difficult than the written test questions in the first level. Not only did one have to fill in the blanks, but also had to solve the questions. Moreover, many of the questions were very unconventional. She only got 70 points in the end.
After that, she walked straight to the Five-in-a-row without hesitation.
【? ? ? 】
【Huh? Why did she choose Five-in-a-row? Although this time is short, it isn’t cost-effective based on the scores. I guess the program has this game to also give points to other applicants. 】
【...Please don't use "also". That encyclopedia question and answer would take ordinary people. Just like No. 99, a dozen points isn’t bad. Maybe this NPC is a Five-in-a-row master? 】
【If the opponent is a master, it is even more uneconomical. Burr puzzle, Klotski and the like can get 30 points in 5 minutes. Even if she wins a game in 1 minute, 5 minutes of Five-in-a-row will only get her 25 points. 】
【And it probably won’t take them even 5 minutes for Burr puzzle and Klotski...]
【A bigshot who uses strategy on answering isn’t someone we can understand. Maybe there are other arrangements? 】
【What other arrangements can there be? In the practice session, in addition to memorizing the answer for the encyclopedia questions and answers, everything else must be demonstrated on the spot. In the end, she can only choose the only one she know, Five-in-a-row. 】
【Why do people still say she cheated? The program team temporarily changed the previous level. Isn’t that enough to prove that they did it themselves? 】
【Who can guarantee that this is not the script of the show? 】
【Those who suspect people of stealing an axe, please show evidence. 】
【So tell me what arrangement can turn 5 points into 25 points in 3 minutes? 】
This was indeed irrefutable. After all, under the premise of gaining as many points as possible, the choice of No. 100 was indeed unjustifiable.
Seeing that the people who doubted Jiang Yu finally got the upper hand and were about to make a fuss, they suddenly heard a loud mechanical female voice echoing throughout the room, "Congratulations on getting 100 points!"
audience:……
【Hahaha, it doesn’t take 5 minutes. 10 seconds is enough. Find the lottery machine, swipe it, and get the points. 】
【Elder Sister No. 100, go quickly! 】
Jiang Yu, who lowered her head to place her piece down, turned back to look at Shu Hua. Shu Hua was already jumping happily in front of the lottery machine, "Wow, bigshot! I won the special prize! I have 135 points now!"
Jiang Yu:……
【Holy crap, there is such an operation like the lottery? 】
【5 points to draw once. The special prize is 100 points. The first prize is 50 points. The second prize is 20 points. And the third prize is 10 points. It feels like a good deal. 】
【The program team got to leave room for ordinary people. If one don’t have strength, one can rely on luck. 】
【But No. 99 is too lucky. She won the special prize in one go. It won’t be a loss if she spends 50 points on drawing. 】
Jiang Yu looked at the happy Shu Hua, then thought about the 95 points in her hand... and continued to play piece.
She was a woman who relies on strength to defeat luck. She wasn’t envious at all.
"Congratulations on getting 50 points!"
"Haha, I'm pretty lucky too!" Jian Cang went to the lottery machine at some point. "The encyclopedia quiz is too difficult. I only got 10 points after doing 20 of them. This is better."
Jiang Yu paused and put down her piece neatly and swiftly.
……
"Congratulations on getting 50 points!" This was Xiang Chen.
……
"Congratulations on getting 100 points!" This was Ye Yuanyu
……
"Congratulations on getting 20 points." This was their team member.
Jiang Yu pursed her lips unconsciously. So noisy.
【Haha, bigshot feels so aggrieved. She was obviously far ahead in points, but now she’s ranked third. 】
【Speaking of which, why doesn’t she do the lottery? If it were me, I would definitely be like Bigshot Ye and give it a try. 】
【Haha, she probably forgot because of panicking. 】
【Hey, where is God Ye going? Investment trading simulator? 】
【Ah! That's right! He is a financial expert. So this is the right profession for him. I feel like God Ye will take first place in the end. 】
【Great God, buy a few more lottery tickets. What if the principal is doubled? 】
【It is because of this gambler's mentality that there are so many getting ripped off. 】
【If one isn’t a master of financial investment, most losses result in empty pockets. He’s not gambling on luck, but relies purely on strength! 】
【That’s why there’s a saying that strength is something that no one can take away. A certain person who has been in the limelight in front will be exposed now, right? 】
【The one who keeps yelling, can’t you be any more annoying? Can you please let people watch the show? If you think she's cheating, report it. Don't bother everyone watching the show here. It's too annoying. 】
Compared to the entire audience base of "All Rounder", the people who knew about Jiang Yu's situation were just a drop in the bucket. So those who have been clamoring about Jiang Yu's cheating gave the real audience a bad feel and the administrators simply banned them.
The person who couldn't speak was extremely angry. He quickly listed Jiang Yu's resume and his reasonable doubts on social media and went around tagging marketing accounts to make judgments.
Of course, Jiang Yu didn't know this. It took her a minute to win a game of Five-in-a-row. After getting the point, she went straight to the high-risk investment area.
【The bigshot won. She’s coming! Huh? What happened? 】
When everyone thought she would buy lottery tickets, they saw her passing the lottery machine without giving a glance. Like Ye Yuanyu, she sat in front of the investment trading simulator...
【? ? ? Why not buy a lottery ticket? 】
【That being said, why does she have to buy it? 】
【I don’t mean to argue, I just don’t quite understand. With 5 points at a time, she won’t lose much even if she doesn’t win. But if she wins, she will get a good profit. At least give it a try. 】
【This is true. Mainly, the lottery tickets aren’t expensive. I think everyone present bought them. She can hold back. Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely not be able to hold back. 】
The audience made various guesses and analyses. It wasn't until Jiang Yu opened the trading simulator and started the transaction with 100 points that someone came up with some ideas:
【Is it possible that she was collecting the capital to start on the investment trading machine? 100 points is just right. 】
【ROFL, so it’s not that she doesn’t want to buy lottery tickets, but that she have no money? 】
The investment trading simulation required the candidates to convert some or all of their points into trading coins at a ratio of 1:1. Then obtain asset appreciation by buying or selling based on the basic data of the goods and the news that pops up from time to time. It was somewhat similar to a stock-like transaction. The bottom line of the transaction amount was 100 trading coins.
【15 points were awarded for the second level’s written test and 10 points for the elevator. The encyclopedia question and answer score was 70. Meaning 5 points short. So she chose Five-in-a-row. She aimed for the investment area from the beginning. 】
【This stance, it looks like she’s going to compete with God Ye? 】
【What major is she studying? 】
【It’s said to be the Acting Department of the Acting Academy in City B...]
【This is more than a bit of a stretch. Although I admit that she has an active mind and is very smart, isn't there a saying that says "Don't use your hobbies to challenge other people's majors"? Otherwise, wouldn’t all top students become investment tycoons? 】
【It’s normal for smart people to be conceited. Still, it’s the same words, I stand with God Ye. God Ye Forever! 】
Ye Yuanyu turned his head and glanced at Jiang Yu who was not far away. He remembered that this girl said a few days ago that she knew nothing about investing and asked him for stock knowledge.
Thank you for the Chapter 🤍🤍
