Yin Zhu is not a newcomer to the workplace with no work experience. On the contrary, she had a stable editing job when she was on Blue Star.

Find a suitable company, submit your resume, go for an interview, and start working.

Yin Zhu was very clear about the basic job search process. She had two very successful job search experiences in Sin City, which could be included in her work resume.

However, so far, Yin Zhu has not faced a situation like this where she doesn't know where to find a boss.

Imagine you're in a cyberpunk world controlled by capital. Almost everyone either works for a company, works in a factory, or is forced to become a homeless person. Working for a company is slightly better than the other two options. The normal approach would be to join a company and climb the ladder step by step.

However, Hirano San's initial suggestion was to start from a private perspective, such as becoming a tutor for children, and she did not intend for Yin Zhu to work in the factory.

To analyze it from another perspective, Hirano San knew that starting with the company was not the right direction.

From experience, whether you're working as a corporate slave or tightening screws in a factory, there are always employee rules. Private tutoring allows you to bypass these rules. However, the chosen ones shouldn't be afraid of rules, unless there are some hidden pitfalls they're unaware of…

"It's so late, aren't you going to rest for a while?" Hirano San suddenly spoke up in the silence.

Did I disturb you?

Considering Hirano Sane's talent, Yin Zhu wondered if her wild thoughts were like a sparrow chirping incessantly in her ear, so annoying that she couldn't sleep, which was why she asked herself those questions.

"It's alright, but you seem a bit worried about finding a job." Hirano San's attitude was always very gentle.

"Yes, there is some. The main problem is that this world is too small and monopolized by the gods. There aren't any job search apps, otherwise it would be much easier to find some odd jobs." Yin Zhu initially wanted to mention some well-known recruitment apps in the Dragon Kingdom, but then she thought that Hirano Shan, as a citizen of the Sakura Kingdom and only a high school student, might not know about those. In the end, she just gave a simple and easy-to-understand explanation.

After a brief moment of thought, Hirano San was speechless.

She never really looked for a job, after all, she only finished half of high school before seamlessly becoming a Chosen One, and afterwards she didn't have any real jobs in the supernatural world, either directly experiencing the workplace or increasing the favorability of the natives.

From a spoiler perspective, Hirano San could directly tell Yin Zhu where to find indigenous people in need.

But don't forget that this is a live broadcast. If she just "randomly wandered around" and encountered her target, the audience on Blue Star would only think that Hirano San was lucky. But if she tells Yin Zhu everything accurately, then even the people of Japan would probably think that there is something wrong with Hirano San.

Just as Hirano Shan was pondering what excuse she could use to make her actions seem normal enough, she suddenly heard Yin Zhu's question: "Do you think if I follow the children home from school tomorrow, their parents will call the police?"

"well?"

"Parents who have higher expectations for their children are more likely to send them to tutoring classes, right?"

Yin Zhu smiled and tilted her head to ask her.

...

Night was falling, but many people were still not ready to go to sleep.

Since this instance is a group instance, the think tanks of various countries have to unite and check each other's chosen ones' live streams to determine which countries are in the same group.

Not every chosen one in every country is as "lucky" as Yin Zhu and Pingye Shan, bumping into each other right from the start. Currently, only two-thirds of the countries are known to be in the same world, and most of them only discover each other because of similar events.

For example, after randomly leaving the house at the start of the game, one might get into a passionate fight with law enforcement.

Although they hadn't fought, the Chosen Ones from other countries, upon learning of this, could naturally deduce that they were of the same kind. By using hair and physical characteristics to eliminate possibilities, they could also determine which country they came from.

The chosen ones in the apartment are relatively easy to identify, and they have already gathered to a large extent. But when it comes to those chosen ones who were born in the slums, they are completely clueless.

The slums are much larger than the poor people's apartments, and they are a mixed bag. If we only consider "unidentified people living alone", then there are even more people like that. Don't forget that there are also a large number of people who have been driven out of or are wanted by the city of Vina.

Most of the chosen ones did not immediately seek out other chosen ones, but instead explored the environment first.

This brings us to something very important for the world of rule-based supernatural tales.

There are no rules in slums.

Many people on Earth weren't surprised by this, since cyberpunk has never been about rules binding humanity, but rather about rebellion against authoritarianism. If there were only rules without rebellion, it would be like having cyberpunk without cyberpunk.

But the think tank sees this as something else entirely:

"The lack of rules means the slums aren't important. If the goal of Cyber ​​Myth is simply to escape from Vena, then the chosen ones from the slums should have been born at the finish line from the start."

"In other words, the meaning of this escape may not be just literal, but has a more abstract meaning."

Han Jiuying reviewed all the information she could gather so far, and surprisingly, not a single Chosen One had made contact with the inner city itself. Even through the natives, she only learned that the inner city was extremely dangerous, everyone was under heavy surveillance, and the slightest carelessness could lead to breaking the rules.

This was told to them by some rebels who "escaped" from the inner city.

Compared to the poor people's apartments, the rebel groups hidden in the slums are more numerous, and about one-fifth of the Chosen Ones have encountered members of them.

"What does the Unspeakable Ones want to see? A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality?" Ge Lin thought of a joke. "Does it mean that if the Chosen Ones want to pass the test, they need to unite with the rebel organization, pull down the gods above, and let the emperors take turns sitting on the throne, with my turn tomorrow?"

“Those rebel organizations are not trustworthy either; they just want to use the Chosen Ones as pawns.” Zhang Mingyu shook his head.

As a member of the psychology department, Zhang Mingyu naturally watched some videos of conversations between Chosen Ones and indigenous people from other countries. However, judging from their body language, they probably harbored malicious intentions.

Su Jinyun sneered, "The reason they don't trust the gods is perhaps simply because they are not in that position."

“Gods are indeed untrustworthy, but so are rebel organizations. If the natives of the Sin City instance could still be of some help to the Chosen Ones, then this time, even if it hasn't reached the point of everyone being an enemy, it's probably close.” Di Jia’s brows furrowed. “Right now, Yin Zhu’s side is too quiet. There are no similar incidents, making it difficult to identify who the other three Chosen Ones’ teammates are. If she causes a big commotion…”

“Then we can basically prepare to replace the next Chosen One.” Xia Qingkong directly interrupted his delusions.

Without a doubt, the city of Vina will not allow such people to exist.
