Chapter 103 Surprise

Chi Dong took the phone and replied to the email, then turned on the alarm mode and set three reminders in a row, "Yeah, I got it. Don't worry, I still have a day of free time tomorrow. I..."

"I'm on vacation tomorrow. You've been tired these past few days, having been running around for weeks for job interviews. Don't come to the hospital tomorrow." Father Chi interrupted him directly, his tone unquestionable, "You should stay in the dormitory and have a good rest to recuperate."

"Yes, anyway, Dr. Lu said that my illness has stabilized, so you don't have to worry about it." Mother Chi echoed and advised, "Besides, your father is here, you can rest in the dormitory with peace of mind. Be obedient, Xiaobao."

Hearing the word "Xiaobao" again, Chidong blushed instantly. He has grown up so much, it would be so embarrassing if someone heard it.

"Okay, I get it. I'll agree to your request, but..." Chi Dong's face was not only red, but even his ears turned pink. "Can you please stop calling me Xiao Bao? If other people hear me, they will think I'm a little baby."

Hearing this, Mother and Father looked at each other with deep smiles in their eyes, "Good boy, little treasure, it's the same. In our hearts, you will always be our baby."

Mother Chi urged: "It's getting late, you should finish your meal and go back quickly, otherwise it will be dark and unsafe on the road."

Chi Dong blinked his clear and lively eyes and agreed obediently. Then he accompanied them to finish their meal, put on his bag and got on the bus back to school.

Coincidentally, just as he stepped out of the hospital, a bus slowly drove into the bus stop. Since it was rush hour, there were many people getting on and off the bus.

Although taking the bus is cheap, it stops frequently, and there are traffic jams and traffic lights on the road, so it was already 7:30 in the evening when he returned to the dormitory.

After he finished cleaning up, he finally had some free time to turn on his computer. He logged into his mailbox, found the email from ET., and clicked it to read it again.

"Dear Chi Dong, we are pleased to inform you that you have passed all our assessments and will soon become our new colleague. Please bring your ID, campus card and other relevant information to the Human Resources Department on the 5th floor of ET. Building, Jinghuan Road on July 1, 20xx. We look forward to having you join our big family."

“PS: This offer also includes a little surprise from ET.Tech, please open it quickly.”

Chi Dong slid the mouse and clicked the next page. He was a little curious about what the surprise would be.

The next second after opening it, Chi Dong couldn't help but exclaimed, "Isn't this the first version of the promotional video for Xia Jiang?" Chi Dong widened his eyes, his eyes full of excitement.

I started playing the game late in the winter, so I haven't seen the original version of the hero. It's a pity that the official website no longer has the video of the first version.

According to those on the forum, the first version of the promotional video was the best, and the subsequent versions were slightly inferior.

After watching it, he realized that it didn't just include heroes, but all the games released by ET. since its establishment. More importantly, many of these promotional videos are no longer available on the official website, and the videos also use naked-eye 3D technology, but his computer configuration is outdated and cannot display the effect.

Chi Dong was really shocked. He was not satisfied after watching it for the first time, so he opened it and watched it again.

He watched it three times before he slowly calmed down and downloaded the video to his computer.

Just then, a senior who was on good terms with their dormitory sent him a message, saying that he had found out about several part-time jobs and asked him which one he would like to take.

My senior posted three job openings in total. Chidong looked through them carefully and found that the one with the highest hourly wage was working in a bar, which paid 100r/hour. The job was not difficult and required only delivering drinks to customers in the private rooms.

The reason for such a high hourly wage is that this bar is located in the core area of ​​Beijing and is of high quality. The customers who come in and out are either rich or noble, so the first thing they look at during the interview is the face. Only those with a good appearance will have a chance of being hired.

Chi Dong stared at the information above for a long time, and then shifted his gaze to the other two. One was a convenience store cashier who worked in three shifts, earning 25r/hour. When there were no customers, he also had to go to the warehouse to unload goods and count inventory. It was physical work and quite hard.

The other option is to work as a waiter in a small restaurant. The hourly wage is slightly lower than that of a convenience store, 20r/hour, and the workload is heavier and more than that of a cashier.

Chi Dong made a quick comparison in his mind. The hourly wage at the bar was five times that of convenience stores and restaurants, and he could choose his working hours at will, which was much better than the other two jobs.

After much deliberation, he finally chose the one with the highest hourly wage. However, he had just had his interview and didn't know yet whether the internship would be busy, so he asked his senior if the bar would still be hiring after two months.

The senior quickly replied to him and said that he could contact him to register before October and he would recommend him for admission.

Chi Dong hurriedly thanked him. Since his senior was studying for a master's degree and was out having fun during the holiday, Chi Dong promised to treat him to a meal after school started.

After the chat, Chi Dong began to think about what to do with his mother in the hospital. He had to go back to work, and his father had to go to work during the day, so the two of them would not be able to take care of her.

After a moment of silence, he opened his account and checked the balance. He still had 20,000 left, which was for the tuition and living expenses for the next school year. Dr. Lu had told them that the subsequent expenses would be settled after they were discharged from the hospital, so they didn't need to rush to pay.

As for his father's salary, part of it was used for expenses, and the other part was saved for subsequent medical expenses. Chi Dong thought about it and decided to use the 20,000 yuan to hire a nurse to look after his mother.

This way he and his father wouldn't have to worry about not being able to take care of his mother. When it came to finding a caregiver, Chi Dong's first choice was the Aunt Huang he hired last time. He still had her phone number.

After making the call and explaining the situation, Aunt Huang learned that they wanted her to work as a day shift nurse for two months. She hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed, but she asked for a monthly salary of 8k.

Eight thousand a month, two months is sixteen thousand, less than twenty thousand, which is within his budget, so he agreed without thinking.

At this time, the time has come to ten o'clock in the evening. If it were normal, he could lie in bed and rest.

But today I was too excited and excited, so Chidong didn't feel sleepy at all.

What to do?

Chi Dong stared blankly at the computer, his eyes wandering. As he passed the familiar icon on the screen, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have not logged into the game for a long time.

However, although he didn't play games, he was in contact and chatting with Shibushayiren every day.

Chi Dong pursed his lips and blinked, muttering to himself, "He hasn't been online for so long, and he didn't even urge me during the chat even though he could kill one person in ten steps? Could it be that he secretly sent me something while I was away?"

When Chi Dong thought of this possibility, he felt sick.

No, he had to play the game quickly to avoid being "passively in debt" again.

Chi Dong opened the client while thinking about it. The game had been updated after not being online for ten days. However, the content of this update was not much. It was just a routine bug fix and there was no major change.

Because it was a holiday, the campus was extremely supportive and the update was completed in a few seconds. He quickly entered his account and password, and the next second, the familiar background sound of the game rang in his ears.

The theme song of "Heroes" is a majestic song with a strong martial arts atmosphere. Each martial arts school has its own exclusive and unique school song.

Some sects are chivalrous and righteous, with lofty ambitions; some sects are gentle and compassionate, saving the world with their medicine and poison; some sects are free and easy, roaming the world with swords; some sects are iron-willed, accompanying the world of mortals...

All the songs are deeply rooted in people's hearts and widely circulated in the MMO era. As far as Chi Dong knows, the theme song and school song of "Heroes" on the official website have been played and downloaded more than 100 million times so far, which is quite scary.

As we all know, his computer is heavy and old, and it will lag if it is not turned on for a few days. During this period, he was very busy. He returned to school very late at night from the hospital. Sometimes he had to go to various job interviews during the day. The only free time he had was the 20 minutes before going to bed.

But he had spent all this time chatting with Shibushayiren, so he had no spare time at all, and no energy to play games, which resulted in the cutscenes when logging into the game today being more than twice as slow as before.

After logging in with great difficulty, Chi Dong had not yet had time to open the announcement when suddenly a series of system notifications came from the headset -

[System] Your chivalrous fate of killing one person in ten steps is now online.

[System] Your best friend Ten Steps to Kill One Person is online.

[System] You have assumed the position of elder of [Ao Jiang Hu].

[System] The Moon Officer reports that your knight has discovered a rare red moon and invites you to enjoy it. Do you want to accept the invitation? (Agree/Reject)

Chi Dong was stuck and couldn't move. The entire game screen was frozen and the radiator was whirring loudly. He tried clicking on the interface several times, but to no avail.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to wait for it to recover as before. Fortunately, perhaps due to the network speed problem, he didn't have to wait for a long time this time, and it returned to normal in less than two minutes.

"Strange, how come I have a team?"

After the game interface returned to normal, Chi Dong not only saw a small red heart inexplicably appear above the head of "Dong Dong Hide", but he was also teleported to a map he had never seen before.

[Nearby] Dongdong hides: The moon here is actually red?

Chi Dong looked at the orange sky and the huge full moon on the screen and couldn't help but exclaimed. He had never seen a red moon in real life!

[Nearby] Kill one person in ten steps: This is a new hidden map. Only players with an intimacy of more than 100,000 can enter, including but not limited to chivalrous relationships, close friends, and mentors and apprentices.

[Nearby] Dongdong hides: So that’s how it is, ET. Technology is really amazing, the map was updated so quickly, I haven’t even finished exploring the previous map!

At this moment, someone who was on a business trip thousands of miles away saw his words, raised his eyebrows, and tapped the table casually with his slender fingers.

[Nearby] Kill one person in ten steps: Do you know this company?

[Nearby] Dongdong hides: Of course, it is the love of my dreams.

Chidong typed out a long paragraph quickly on the keyboard, eager to announce his heartfelt thoughts on ET. Technology to the world.

[Nearby] Kill one person in ten steps: When you graduate, you can try to submit your resume, maybe your dream agency will hire you.

[Nearby] Dongdong hid: Then I will take your advice and try my best to become a part of it.

[Nearby] Kill One Person in Ten Steps: If you really get the job, I will have a surprise for you.

[Nearby] Dong Dong hides: Surprise? What surprise?

When Chi Dong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He was a little curious about the "surprise" he mentioned and began to ask questions.

[Nearby] Kill one person every ten steps: Don’t worry, you will know later.

Bu Qianli finished speaking and without waiting for Chi Dong to react, he moved the mouse to select the character and made a gesture towards him, inviting him to dance with a sword under the moon.

Chi Dong pursed his lips, thinking secretly in his heart: Forget it, I was going to tell you that I passed the interview, but since that’s the case, I won’t tell you either.
