Chapter 157: Chapter 124: Need to Answer Questions for a Job? (Part 2)

"This is called program effect!"

As expected, the exposure of the Ancient God’s face made the number of comments in the live broadcast room surge several times, and Guo Mo showed an awkward smile.

It’s not that game streamers like to use the Ancient God’s face; it’s mainly because it creates a better program effect. Who would watch if you did a serious face creation?

"Looks okay!"

After getting an "unseeable" appearance evaluation, Guo Mo raised his eyebrow, named the character Martin, and clicked to enter the game.

...

In midsummer, in Jinghai City.

Martin graduated, dragging his suitcase, withdrew 5000 startup capital from his parents, and found a place with a monthly rent of 800.

The house isn’t big, but since Martin is single, it’s definitely enough for one person.

To make a living, Martin went to the job market, intending to find a job that suits him. Otherwise, his little money would be gone in less than two months.

"Security guard, monthly salary 1800?"

"Are you kidding me!"

Just arrived at the job market, Guo Mo was overwhelmed by these job positions. Most of the salaries were too low to support him.

"Okay, stop being choosy."

Uncle Kuo, who entered the game before him, explained in the voice channel: "You can also apply for those high-paying positions, but whether they will hire you is another matter."

"I’ll give it a try..."

Hearing that there are high-paying positions, Guo Mo immediately got interested, took a lap in the job market and decided to apply for the position of general manager at XX Culture Company.

That’s good, with a starting monthly salary of 80K!

But as soon as he clicked to apply, a window popped up on the game page, leaving him helpless.

[You do not meet the recruitment conditions]

There are always places willing to accept me!

After trying several high-paying positions, without exception, he couldn’t meet any recruitment conditions. Guo Mo’s expected salary also gradually decreased from the original 80K to content with just 8K.

A job with a monthly salary of eight thousand finally met the recruitment conditions!

But...

To get the job, he actually had to answer questions! Yes, answer questions!

When opting to apply, a question window pops up on the game page, consisting of a total of 20 questions, each worth 5 points, including multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank questions, all of which must be answered within 3 minutes, scoring 90 points to be hired.

"Hilarious! Now I really have to become a security guard..."

"These questions are quite professional, you’re not even guaranteed to find the answers online."

"You can definitely find the answers online, but the time limit is too short! Limited to 3 minutes, no more than 10 seconds to consider each question!"

The questions are really related to the job, and clearly, Guo Mo couldn’t answer a single one, so he just guessed randomly.

points!

The job with a monthly salary of eight thousand was gone too, leaving Guo Mo no choice but to continue searching for a more suitable job.

After some searching and answering questions, he finally became an insurance salesman with a base salary of 2K.

"Uncle Kuo, what’s your salary?"

After finding a job, Guo Mo suddenly got curious; what job did Uncle Kuo, the entrepreneur in real life, find, having entered the game before him?

"Eight thousand!"

Uncle Kuo replied, "I’m often in contact with financial accountants, so these questions are quite basic. It took two tries, but I barely passed with 90 points."

Guo Mo: "..."

Indeed, successful people are successful everywhere, even starting from scratch. Years of experience and knowledge are a valuable asset.

The comments were also full of emotion.

Who would have thought that getting a job in the game involves answering questions? The key is that these questions are quite professional, not just random easy ones.

Uncle Kuo earns eight thousand a month, while Guo Mo earns two thousand, starting in completely different leagues.

But the good news is that selling insurance comes with commission income! And if you’re not satisfied, you can resign and choose another job...

Guo Mo decided to start with this job for now.

Although he can’t compare with Uncle Kuo, this is ultimately a romance development game. Falling in love is the serious business. Who cares if you earn eight thousand or two thousand a month?

After finding a job, Guo Mo also encountered the first female lead marked as conquerable, a kind and cute female colleague, Gentleness.

Yes, her surname is Wen and her given name is Rou.

Miss Gentleness really lives up to her name, she’s truly gentle, mesmerizing Guo Mo to the point where he wished he could rename himself "Miss Gentleness’ Dog" on the spot.

However, his attempt to flirt failed.

With an "unseeable" Ancient God face, Miss Gentleness was indeed scared of him and didn’t dare to interact much.

"Darn!"

Guo Mo secretly cursed himself for being an idiot, knowing this is a romance development game, he still used a face that’s permanently for program effect.

Well, now he’s got himself some real difficulty, from originally easy-level colleague interactions, it’s now at hell-level difficulty.

"Hey! What’s this?"

After interacting with Miss Gentleness, Guo Mo noticed two new options on the game interface: Seek Help and Assist!

Let’s click and try them out.

Since it’s just a trial phase, everything is unknown, so with a "let’s see" mentality, Guo Mo initiated a help request.

["Love Driving the Cullinan," "Seven Times Divorced," "Wind Chaser" have joined the game!]

Soon, three players with their own nicknames appeared beside Guo Mo, including one he was familiar with, Uncle Kuo.

"Uncle Kuo, why are you here?"

"I saw you trying the help request function, so I clicked assist, didn’t expect to be transported here."

"Same here..."

Wind Chaser, a fan of Guo Mo’s via a prize draw, got an activation code, and seeing Guo Mo trying a new function, instinctively clicked assist.

"Buddy, how long have you been playing?"

Seeing "Seven Times Divorced" not speaking, Guo Mo curiously asked, "We just started, and are not familiar with the gameplay; could you introduce us to it?"

"I’ll just text,"

"Seven Times Divorced" typed in response, "This gameplay is about helping others conquer characters, successfully helping will earn you rewards..."

Under his introduction, they quickly understood the "seek help" and "assist" gameplay.

The "Love Advisor Department" refers to this online mode, letting other players join in to help conquer desired characters.

Successfully helping would earn you ample rewards!

When helping other players, you don’t stay in their world continuously, you can return anytime, and can be summoned back anytime the help request is initiated.

A player can assist a maximum of three players simultaneously, providing strategies and advice.

If either the seeker or assistant is unsatisfied, they can opt to leave voluntarily...

"Can you only recruit three advisors?"

"Not really!"

Seven Times Divorced denied it: "Supposedly, there’s no limit; it depends on how many players respond to your help request at the same time."

In short.

In the current demo trial phase, there aren’t many players participating, and having three players responding at the same time is considered a lot.

When the official version is launched, as the number of players increases, those coming to help will increase too. If you’re bold, by then the advisor department might have dozens or even hundreds of advisors!

With so many people giving advice, how could you not tackle a small NPC?

"I see!"

Thinking it over, Guo Mo found it quite fun, akin to a college roommate dating, causing the whole dorm to prepare intensely.

Wait a minute!

This should be like live streaming!

The player initiating the help request is akin to a game streamer, while players responding to the request are like the live room audience, giving pointers through the scrolling comments.

"Pretty interesting..."

"However, I was just trying it out, not really in need of help; you guys go ahead with your own things."

Thinking it through, without having even made any progress with Miss Gentleness, Guo Mo didn’t need these advisors for now, best let them go about their own business.

"Since we’re here, how about some analysis?"

"It’s just a face creation issue..."

Upon knowing Guo Mo’s current progress, "Love Driving the Cullinan" candidly stated, "Had you created a more handsome avatar, she wouldn’t have refused your advance."

"If you don’t believe, let me try!"

With that, "Love Driving the Cullinan" found the Miss Gentleness avatar in the map corner and tried flirting.

The result was evident; the attempt succeeded.

This made Guo Mo suddenly realize, it was indeed a face creation issue, had he known this wouldn’t have...

Wait a minute!

Weren’t they supposed to help him conquer Miss Gentleness? Why is it that during the process, he ended up as an outsider?
