Chapter 2
Taking the employment contract, Su Wangchuan read it very carefully.
He was worried that he might be sold off by someone.
A healthy pair of kidneys was worth a lot of money.
The employment contract listed all information clearly and transparently.
The employer could be verified.
Five social insurances and one housing fund!
A monthly salary of ten thousand yuan, with the company’s actual expenditure exceeding fifteen thousand yuan;
In addition, bonuses would be distributed every month based on the income generated from in-game gold farming, and temporary overtime tasks would also come with allowances…
With benefits like this, Su Wangchuan wanted to study every single word until he understood it completely.
What virtue or ability did he possess to deserve this? At this moment, Su Wan reminded him solemnly:
“Once you sign the contract and join our game studio, you are no longer allowed to disclose any content related to the game to the outside world. Whether through communication tools or face-to-face conversation, once a violation occurs, our contract will be automatically terminated, and we reserve the right to sue you to recover all profits and losses.”
“……”
Su Wangchuan fell silent for a moment, then nodded.
His social circle was narrow, so a leak was unlikely.
As for his parents…
They only knew that he was doing livestreaming.
Su Wan then raised the second prohibition:
“Even if our cooperation is terminated, you are still not allowed to disclose any information related to the game or your work.”
So strict.
But for a monthly salary of ten thousand yuan, Su Wangchuan endured it.
“Lastly!”
Su Wan continued her warning. “We will assign you a game character and arrange daily tasks for you. You must maintain strict self-discipline and are not allowed to engage in anything unrelated to the game tasks. If the game character dies due to irrelevant activities, the cooperation will be terminated immediately!”
Hearing this, Su Wangchuan showed a puzzled expression.
“Why?”
“Can the game character not be revived?”
He found this clause very difficult to understand.
Su Wan explained patiently:
“That is correct.”
“The game we are currently entering is extremely difficult. Moreover, accounts are incredibly rare. Each account has only one chance to survive. Once the game character dies, the account is immediately deleted. Therefore, all studio members must strictly follow the regulations.”
Su Wangchuan suddenly understood.
He got it!
The reason he passed the interview was most likely because they had seen his livestreams through his social account and observed his strict self-discipline over the years…
Without a certain level of self-discipline, it would be impossible to handle this job.
Su Wan continued explaining the requirements after onboarding:
“The studio requires every employee to familiarize themselves with the game within seven days and grow to the point where they can create a certain amount of value… in other words, after seven days, you must begin our gold-farming plan and accumulate in-game assets for the studio.”
“Every day, you must ensure that the day’s tasks are completed.”
“Do not worry. The workload we arrange can be completed within six to eight hours and will not take up too much of your time…”
“In the game, do not get into conflicts with anyone.”
“After completing your tasks, you must log out in a safe zone.”
Every restriction Su Wan mentioned was firmly etched into Su Wangchuan’s mind.
The onboarding contract was completed.
An official notice arrived:
Since he had obtained new employment, starting from this month, he would no longer be able to apply for the monthly unemployment subsidy, and the monthly public rental housing subsidy would also be temporarily suspended.
“Welcome aboard.”
“Come on, I will take you to receive your gaming equipment.”
Su Wan stood up and led Su Wangchuan to a window that resembled a blood collection room.
“Our game uses DNA plus retinal dynamic binding. During the first registration, DNA binding and iris data recording are required. After that, every login will require an iris scan… You can put your hand inside.”
Following her instructions, Su Wangchuan extended his arm into the window.
He felt a slight sting between his fingers, then a beam of red light scanned his face and focused on his eyes.
“All done.”
“Please wait a moment.”
Su Wan soon returned and placed a box into his hands.
Inside was a silver alloy gaming helmet. It was somewhat retro in style, but not heavy at all, brimming with a sense of advanced technology and offering an excellent fit.
“Congratulations. You have officially joined us.”
“This is your gaming device. Once you put it on, you will know how to operate it.”
“However, before you officially log in, I will find you a mentor, so you do not mess around and waste the account.”
Su Wan led him back into the elevator and went down to the seventy-fourth floor.
The seventy-fourth floor was like a massive gymnasium. All kinds of training equipment were available, including an indoor swimming pool and a small ski slope, as well as a shooting range and a boxing ring. It was extravagantly luxurious.
Su Wangchuan was stunned!
So rich!
Then he noticed that the walls here bore the logo of the Warring States Game Studio.
This meant that it was not a gym open to the public, but an internal training facility for the game studio.
“Sister Su, is this also part of our studio’s assets?”
Su Wangchuan lowered his voice and asked cautiously.
“Yes.”
Without turning her head, Su Wan replied, “You can come here to exercise anytime in the future. However, filming and external access are prohibited here. Only internal members are allowed to enter.”
“……”
Su Wangchuan sucked in a sharp breath.
Suddenly, he felt the urge to stay here until retirement.
“Oh, right.”
Su Wan suddenly added,
“Our company has its own employee apartments, also located in this building. Once your game character stabilizes, you can move out of public rental housing and apply for the company’s employee apartment. The conditions are much better than where you live now… We also have our own employee cafeteria, and it is free.”
“……”
Su Wangchuan was already so shocked that he could not utter a single word.
A thought suddenly sprang into his mind:
“Exactly how many floors of this building does the studio I joined occupy?”
“Sister Su, with such good benefits, is the company still hiring? I could recommend my classmates,” Su Wangchuan said, his mind already racing.
“No need.”
Su Wan rejected him outright.
“Do not forget, the company has a confidentiality system. Also, we have our own standards for selecting people. You just need to focus on doing your own job well.”
Her tone was cold.
The unmistakable tone of a company HR.
Suddenly, she did not seem so cute anymore.
But…
When you are under someone else’s roof, you have no choice but to lower your head.
Thinking of the ten-thousand-plus monthly salary and bonuses, along with the employee apartments and employee cafeteria, the displeasure in Su Wangchuan’s heart instantly dissipated.
Under Su Wan’s guidance, he was led to a middle-aged man who was bare-chested, with sharply defined muscles.
The man looked to be in his early forties. His gaze was sharp, both hands wrapped in bandages, as he threw punch after punch with explosive strength, each impact producing a solid, muffled sound.
“Instructor Yu.”
“There is a newly hired employee here. Please take him under your wing.”
Su Wan spoke very politely to Instructor Yu.
The latter stopped his training and turned around.
Su Wan said to Su Wangchuan,
“Instructor Yu is your superior. From now on, he will be responsible for guiding you on in-game precautions and assigning you tasks. From here on out, you will follow Instructor Yu.”
“Hello, Instructor Yu. My name is Su Wangchuan.”
Su Wangchuan took the initiative to extend his hand.
Instructor Yu’s sharp eyes carried a hint of scrutiny as he glanced at Su Wangchuan’s hands. He frowned slightly and said unhurriedly,
“Strong arms, good physique. You have trained before?”
