Chapter 56: Avoid Twenty Years of Detour The game produced by Wei Chen’s company is a stand-alone simulation game in which the player takes on the role of an 18-year-old school dropout who has just entered the city. Start with basic brick-moving jobs, improve your own values through work and training, and step by step find a better job, make a lot of money, buy a big house, and finally start your own company and become a boss. After listening to Wei Chen’s introduction and the game screen he demonstrated on the computer. Wu Mu feels that this game is quite similar to a domestic stand-alone game called "Majority" in his previous life. The core gameplay and selling points are similar. The commission they need to do in this episode is to play the role of the worker in the game and find a job in the city to make money when they are penniless. Wu Mu found that Lin Qingyue had a good eye for topic selection. Letting celebrities work and earn money is undoubtedly a very eye-catching topic at first glance. Working to make money?
Wang Xiaotian jumped out and said, "Director Lin, can I become an artist and make money?" Lin Qingyue shook her head, "No, the specific job will be determined by random selection." She asked someone to bring a box. "There are various occupations written on the paper inside the box. You need to find the corresponding job for the one you drew." Not only does the job type depend on drawing lots, but "This is the first stage of work. The protagonist of the game has just arrived in the city and has no skills or experience. The jobs here are low-level jobs such as porters, waiters, deliverymen, cleaners, etc. Everyone needs to do this corresponding work for a whole day, and then come back tomorrow to draw the next stage of work." Real people doing physical work like porters and waiters all day long? The guests looked at each other in bewilderment. Wu Mu also smacked his lips, really not wanting to do it. As a boss who is not even happy about making money and only wants to lie down and work on the system, he naturally doesn't like doing this kind of hard work. No one likes to do this kind of hard work. Everyone says that working people are glorious, but if there is a real choice, who doesn't want to make a lot of money just by lying down? But there is no way, this is the mission of the program. With such a high pay, no one would be unable to do the job just for a day of experience. The guests began to draw lots. Wang Xiaotian, who always likes to be the first in everything, was the first to draw. Then, as soon as he opened the drawn note, his face immediately turned bitter, "Director Lin, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home, so I can't record this episode." Lu Yao leaned over curiously, "What is it?" After seeing the words on Wang Xiaotian's note, she imitated Wang Xiaotian's usual behavior and laughed, "Porter! Xiaotian is in trouble now." It's indeed a bit miserable, this is real heavy physical labor. Lu Yao was the second one to go up. The smoke is not very good, waiter. Zhang Haoran was chosen to be a delivery man, and Zhang Lifeng was a cleaner. Finally it is Wu Mu’s turn.
He reached into the box and pulled out a note. He opened it and smiled slightly, "Security." It saved me twenty years of detour. Moreover, as a well-known concentration camp for old men, the work here is not very demanding. As long as you find a security guard position, you can spend the whole day comfortably. The career is finished. The guests thought the program team would help them find jobs. But who would have thought, "You need to find your own job, as long as it fits the occupation label you drew." Lin Qingyue also reminded, "Also, the money for today's meals and tonight's sleep, as well as other various expenses, will not be provided by the program team. You need to earn it on your own." It doesn’t seem to be a problem? With a celebrity face, you don’t have to worry about having no place to eat or sleep. But Lin Qingyue plugged the last loophole. "During the recording of the program, the clients are not allowed to use their celebrity status to obtain any convenience. For each violation, 10 percent of the remuneration earned that day will be deducted." This is truly a true simulation game protagonist. Not only can they not use their celebrity status to seek convenience, but they also have to find jobs on their own. They may not even have enough food to eat and will starve. Now even Zhang Lifeng couldn't hold back his expression, feeling that this episode was a bit too difficult. Zhang Haoran was even more resentful, thinking that the program crew was really troublesome. They were stars, not really here to experience life. If the program effect wanted, wouldn't it be enough to just edit it? But they had to do this. It was really annoying. Wu Mu, who was drawn as a security guard, was very calm and asked leisurely: "Is there a reward for the person who makes the most money?" Lin Qingyue nodded, "Yes, the program will be recorded for three days in total. After three days, the person with the most funds will receive a reward from the program team." "There are two rewards. One is that the client will create a big boss NPC in the game for the winner as a commemoration, and will pay for the use of the portrait. The other is that the winner can get the money that others have earned in the past three days." These two rewards actually don’t amount to much, but they’re just for show. Wang Xiaotian's eyes lit up, and he laughed, "I will definitely take first place this time! Just wait and work for me for three days!" He held his head high and said, "I look like a big boss, so my image is most suitable for the game." Lu Yao rarely objected, instead she nodded in agreement, "Xiaotian, you really do look like a boss. When I first met you, I thought you were the boss of the company who came with the artists." Wang Xiaotian squinted at her and said, "Oh, you look like an artist, don't you? With the audience like you in Wumu Store, I'm afraid you will never be able to be a boss in your lifetime." Lu Yao's face instantly turned red. "I didn't buy it. I really didn't buy it." Wu Mu was unhappy, "Hey, what's wrong with buying things from my store? I think the person who buys things from my store is the real boss." Well, to some extent it is true. No one would spend more than two hundred yuan to buy a cup unless they are rich. The program content and task reception have been completed. The guests dispersed at the hotel entrance and went to find their own jobs. We agreed to gather at the hotel entrance at this time tomorrow to draw the second stage professions. Two cameramen and Lin Qingyue followed Wu Mu to shoot.
Lin Qingyue looked at Wu Mu curiously, wanting to know how Wu Mu would find a job. To be honest, although Wu Mu got an easy job, he might be the one who has the hardest time finding a job here. After all, his appearance is really too dazzling. People like Wang Xiaotian can simply dress up and disguise themselves as ordinary people. But it is difficult for Wu Mu to do so because his appearance is too distinctive and he can easily be recognized as a celebrity. But the program stipulates that one cannot use celebrity status to gain convenience. In this situation, what should Wu Mu do? (End of this chapter)
