Chapter 1 The Legendary Game of Death

"Sorry, our company requires a graduate degree or above..."

"Sorry, our company needs people with more than two years of experience and does not recruit fresh graduates..."

As a graduate of a third-rate university, when he found that he could not even submit his resume, Su Yan finally understood what it means to be unemployed after graduation. Especially during the global economic downturn, the financial management he studied was even more direct.

It has become the major with the lowest employment rate.

Today's job fair still yielded nothing. Su Yan was about to leave with a frustrated look on his face when his cell phone suddenly rang.

"Is this Mr. Su Yan?" A very sweet female voice came from the unfamiliar phone number.

"I am Su Yan, who are you?" Su Yan couldn't help but feel a little excited. This was the first time he was called sir.

"We are New Oriental Mining Co., Ltd. We have received your resume and after research, we believe that you meet our job requirements. Please come for an interview in the afternoon."

"Mining company... I don't know what your job position is?" Surprised, Su Yan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He had no impression of this company. He probably accidentally submitted his resume when he was throwing out resumes at job fairs.

Yes, this situation will definitely leave a bad impression on the other party.

"We are a mining company, so the position we are recruiting for this time is naturally a miner." The voice on the phone was still sweet and did not seem to be angry at all.

"Miners...?" The corner of Su Yan's mouth twitched slightly. Thinking of the newspaper reports about those small coal mines, he immediately had the urge to hang up the phone.

"Yes, the basic monthly salary is 8,000 yuan, including food and accommodation. You can arrange your daily working hours..."

"Eight thousand...where is your company? I'll go there right away!"

***************

Unexpectedly, this mining company that I had never heard of was so warm and flattering that it even sent a car to greet me.

However, the address of the company was indeed remote. Su Yan sat in the car and drove along for several hours. Looking at the desolate scene outside the car window, he guessed that he had reached the outskirts of the city.

"Aren't we here yet?" Su Yan was already a little worried. After all, before he graduated, he heard about many MLM agencies seducing and imprisoning job seekers.

"We'll be there soon, the company's gate is in front of us." Driver Xiao Liu said with a smile.

Su Yan quickly stared out of the car window. At this moment, the car was driving into a gate. There was no company-related logo hanging next to the gate, but there were two doormen standing straight next to it.

At first, I thought it was just a security guard hired by the company, but when I got closer, I saw clearly that it was a regular soldier standing with a gun.

When Su Yan anxiously followed the receptionist into the interview room, he discovered that there were already three people sitting inside. Judging from the resumes and certificates held by them, they should all be competitors applying for the job.

What surprised him was that there was a girl among the three, who was extremely pretty and a typical southern beauty. When his eyes inadvertently fell on a young man with an arrogant expression, he couldn't help but be startled. The girl in the young man's hand

The graduation certificate clearly says Tsinghua University, and another man with glasses is also holding a certificate from the University of Science and Technology.

Su Yan's eyes couldn't help but twitch wildly. Could it be that the miner's job with a monthly salary of 8,000 was so tempting that even these beauties and guys from prestigious universities would not hesitate to come and compete with him for the miners' jobs...

"Welcome to work in our company."

While Su Yan was looking at the surrounding environment, a fat man walked in with a smile. He looked quite amiable, but the words 'HR Director' written on his work nameplate made the atmosphere in the room suddenly become tense and serious.

stand up.

However, this serious atmosphere only lasted less than half a minute before it was once again ruined by the smiling fat man himself.

"I wonder if any of you have ever played online games?" The fat man, who was smiling so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits, suddenly asked a shocking question as soon as he sat down behind his desk.

There was a sudden silence in the room, and several applicants looked at each other. I don't know why the fat manager started talking about games as soon as he sat down.

"Occasionally I played..." Su Yan finally replied with some embarrassment. He had naturally played a lot of games before and was barely considered a game master. He even missed a lot of his studies because of it. However, based on the experience and lessons learned from past interview failures,

, bragging about your own game level at this time is basically asking for death.

Unexpectedly, the fat manager leaned back in his chair with excitement, rubbed his fat hands and said with a smile, "That's good, we just need people who are familiar with the game."

"Does... playing games have anything to do with work?" The pretty girl asked hesitantly, her voice soft and waxy with a hint of Wu Nong's accent, which was very nice.

"Of course it does matter. Our company's business is mining in games." The fat man smiled and sat upright again, his face finally starting to look a little serious.

"Mining in the game?!" Su Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and the others were even more stunned.

"Yes, as long as you complete the specified ore tasks in the game every month, you can get a basic salary of 8,000. The more you work, the more you will get. The company will purchase additional ores at market prices."

The room fell into silence again, obviously no one expected this interview to turn out like this.

"Can you get a basic monthly salary of 8,000 yuan by mining in the game? As far as I know, even the staff of large game companies don't have such a high income." The man with glasses was probably very familiar with the game industry and asked with a puzzled face.

road.

"Haha, ordinary games naturally don't have such high income. Have you ever heard of a death game?" Fatty suddenly asked with a mysterious look on his face.

Everyone was stunned again: "What kind of death game?"

"It's the kind of game where if you die in the game, you will die in reality." The fat man still had a smile on his face.

"Oh, you're talking about that kind of game novel. I read one on the Internet recently when I was bored." The Tsinghua man who had been silent for a long time suddenly nodded.

"It's not a novel, it's a real death game. It has gone beyond the scope of current science. As long as you die in the game, you may die in reality!" The fat man said, his little eyes filled with excitement.

Several applicants looked at each other in confusion again. There are many novels and comics about death games, but no one would think that such a game would actually exist.

"How could a game like that really exist?"

"Hey, how do you know it doesn't exist if you haven't experienced it? In fact, many people have revealed the secret of that game a long time ago, but you all just regard it as science fiction movies and novels." Fatty said with a smile.

"That's absolutely impossible. According to what is said in those novels, since it can cause death in reality, it is also possible to bring the abilities in the game into reality." The man with glasses had an incredible look on his face. Apparently he had also seen it.

There are many similar novels.

"It is true that you can get the abilities in the game. Do you think those Superman and Spider-Man are just illusory heroes in the movies... In fact, they are all successful in the game, like the recently popular Iron Man.

It’s because I got a set of God of War armor in the game, and the so-called God of Thunder just learned advanced thunder and lightning techniques in the game. Of course, more people who gained powerful abilities through the game still chose to keep it low-key and secret..."

As the fat man spoke, a look of loneliness appeared on his fat face.

"This...how is this possible..." The bespectacled man's face was full of astonishment.

"If you are lucky enough in the game, you also have the opportunity to become a superhero... You really don't want to try it?" Fatty's words were full of temptation.

"As long as you mine in the game, you can get 8,000 yuan a month?" Su Yan deliberately emphasized the word "renminbi". As a college student in the 21st century, he naturally did not believe that the so-called death game could really work.

It is completely impossible to explain by science if it causes death in reality. What he cares about more is this job.

"Yes, we are a formal company and will sign a formal labor contract with you."

"Does the game really cause death in real life? Will we be in danger if we enter the game?" The pretty girl asked hesitantly.

"It will indeed cause death in real life, but don't worry, we are just mining in the game, and we can absolutely guarantee everyone's safety." Fatty restored his signature smile, and took out a few documents and said: "This is

You can take a look at the company's labor contract first, and if you agree, you can sign it now."

Su Yan took over the labor contract with some suspicion. After reading it carefully, he found that the contract in his hand was indeed very standardized, and it also came with a high life insurance. But for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong, as if this

Something important is missing from a seemingly perfect contract.

"No problem." Unexpectedly, the seemingly aloof Tsinghua man just casually looked at the contract and signed his name first.

"I just hope that game won't disappoint me." The man with glasses seemed a little moved by the fat man's words, and agreed to the contract without much hesitation.

The girl actually read the contract very seriously twice before signing the contract.

Su Yan hesitated for a moment. Although he was still full of doubts about the fat man's words, he finally chose to sign the contract. Anyway, he was now so poor that he was almost living on the streets and was not afraid of being cheated. Moreover, he also urgently needed a job to solve the problem of food and clothing.

"Okay, now that everyone has signed the contract, we are our own people now. I will take you to familiarize yourself with our working environment." The fat man put away the contract and rubbed his fat hands happily, and started to do things.

It's quite vigorous and resolute.

Several people followed the fat man out of the room with suspicion and entered the elevator.

However, Su Yan soon felt something was wrong... They were on the first floor, but the elevator was running downwards!
