Chapter 33 Recruiting Members
If the criteria for selecting casual players are already so stringent, then the criteria for selecting combat players will only be more stringent.
Strong combat ability is only the most basic requirement; the most important thing is character and personality.
Yu Yanyan didn't want to hire members who were always looking for trouble, nor did she want to solve trivial cases and deal with their problems every day.
Therefore, it would be best to only hire people with military backgrounds.
Whether they are retired veterans or active-duty soldiers, those who have served many years of military service are the best.
They are very obedient and disciplined, much better than the average player.
Having served in the military for so many years, his physical fitness would naturally be quite good, and his combat effectiveness would certainly be very strong, which is a win-win situation.
Of course, character cannot be completely guaranteed, since every group inevitably has people with poor character, and these can only be screened out gradually in the future.
If you recruit ordinary people, things will definitely be more chaotic in the early stages, and it will take a long time to get them to work out. So why not find someone who is easier to manage?
Anyway, it's not like we don't have the means.
Almost every player in Zone 6 wants to join Yu Yanyan's group, so there's no problem finding people.
The only problem now is how to tell if they actually served in the military.
Yu Yanyan had interacted with soldiers in her previous life and knew that people who spent a lot of time in the military had an undeniable style in their demeanor and movements.
That upright demeanor and unique temperament, more or less, would inevitably be displayed.
But there are some she can't tell, such as those special forces.
After discussing it with Shen Xingzhi, Yu Yanyan discovered that he could solve this problem.
Hmm... Shen Xingzhi had previously worked with some of my country's special forces. They lived and ate together for several years when they were on missions abroad, so he is very familiar with and knowledgeable about this area.
Shen Xingzhi will conduct video interviews with each candidate, and those who are brought into the group will be evaluated. Those who are unqualified or make mistakes later will be eliminated, and only the best and strongest will be kept.
Yu Yanyan could only help out in the interview video; Shen Xingzhi had to rely on himself afterwards.
Managing combat players is completely different from managing casual players. Yu Yanyan wasn't as good at it as Shen Xingzhi, so she simply handed it all over to him.
Members of a group can team up to explore.
Once everyone is fully integrated, a team of extremely powerful players will be able to easily sweep through monsters in the multi-level world.
The exploration efficiency has been greatly improved, and even if the spoils are split equally, it is still faster than if you do it all by yourself.
Most importantly, it's less likely to get injured, and having teammates is definitely much better than going it alone.
For this reason alone, players would fight tooth and nail to join the guild.
Yu Yanyan didn't plan to recruit the entire 1,000-person group at once. The number of casual players was limited, and even with a few more special players, it wouldn't exceed 400 people.
After discussing it with Shen Xingzhi, Yu Yanyan decided to recruit only 400 combat players.
We'll decide on the two hundred vacancies after this batch of people is settled, and see whether to recruit more casual players or combat players.
After chatting with Shen Xingzhi, it was already late. Yu Yanyan yawned and went back to her room, preparing to send out the recruitment information for combat players again tomorrow.
She quickly fell asleep, while many players struggled to sleep.
Wang Ranran and her friends had already posted the recruitment information for casual players, igniting the passion of the players in Zone 6 who had been waiting all night.
Although the conditions are harsh, it's Yu Yanyan's group! Who wouldn't want to latch onto her coattails?
Besides, it's precisely because the conditions are so demanding that everyone is even more eager to go.
Being selected means you are excellent, right?
rush!
Whether you get elected or not, just go for it!
Countless players sent friend requests to them, and even those who didn't meet the basic requirements didn't want to give up and were even considering bribing them to see if they had a chance.
Combat players also added him as a friend, all asking questions like "Do you want a combat player?" or "Do you have any inside information you can share?"
Wang Ranran and her friends were practically driven crazy by the annoyance. There weren't many casual players to begin with, so their selection process was relatively easy.
After all, the ratio is what it is; there are only a few thousand casual players in the entire region.
Now, all the combat players have come to join in the fun, and the workload has inexplicably increased.
Although Shen Xingzhi is an NPC, he has his own information panel, chat channel, and friend list, but Yu Yanyan didn't grant him access to them before.
At first, Yu Yanyan was wary of Shen Xingzhi, but later... she simply forgot about him.
Since Shen Xingzhi didn't mention this aspect, Yu Yanyan simply couldn't recall it.
When it came time to recruit, Yu Yanyan suddenly remembered this matter and quickly granted Shen Xingzhi both permissions.
Now he's no different from any other player.
Shen Xingzhi saw the team leaders complaining bitterly in the team chat channel, so he stood up.
[Shen Xingzhi (Deputy Regiment Commander): Just a moment, I'll post the recruitment information.]
The others cheered, but Wang Ranran, who knew Shen Xingzhi's NPC identity, looked "dumbfounded".
Oh, NPCs can use chat channels too!?
Wang Ranran was incredibly curious and wanted to ask what was going on, but she didn't dare to ask Shen Xingzhi.
She was still somewhat afraid of Shen Xingzhi, always feeling that his aura was not simple and was somewhat terrifying.
Gossiping with him... I'd better not.
Wang Ranran suppressed her gossipy nature and left a bunch of messages for Yu Yanyan before continuing to recruit people seriously.
[Chaoyang] Shen Xingzhi: The Chaoyang Guild is recruiting 400 combat players. Requirements:
1. Professional level: junior or above.
2. Must serve at least five years in the military (retired or active duty are both acceptable), regardless of the branch of service.
If you are rejected after a video interview, please do not ask for the reason. All rights of interpretation belong to Chaoyang Group.
3. Bonus points for special combat professions and skills, and bonus points for military officers, commanders, and special forces.
Team members can explore the same floor, and the resources found will be shared equally within the team. No team members will take any valuable resources.
All team members are free to visit and stay at the team's base. Housing will be available later through contribution points. (Contribution points can be earned by completing daily team tasks, donating supplies, and participating in special events.)
All guild members enjoy priority purchasing rights for resources sold by other players within the guild.
The Chaoyang Guild offers many benefits; we look forward to welcoming elite players.
Holy crap!
My smile froze as soon as I tried to laugh. Why did that happen?!
Good news: Sister Yu is recruiting combat gamers; bad news: only those who have served in the military for more than five years qwq
[Good news: I'm in the military. Bad news: Not enough for five years, sob sob sob sob!]
[My goodness, can you please not make it so tight!]
[This ambition is incredible! What is Yu Yanyan planning to do? Build a private army?]
[What's wrong with rebuilding the army now? If it's Sister Yu, I think it's fine.]
I also feel inexplicably at ease; I always feel that Sister Yu wouldn't cause any trouble.
I think Sister Yu only wants soldiers, simply because she thinks soldiers are impressive, disciplined, and easy to manage.
[I feel the same way. When we were fighting the world boss, I saw Sister Yu going crazy while directing everyone, haha.]
[Okay, okay, I get it. We're just too bad for Sister Yu to like, sob sob!]
[Huh? Why aren't any soldiers coming forward to share their experiences?]
Is it possible that they've already applied?
[I won't tell you who's envious and jealous, I'll just cover my mouth and cry.jpg]
...
Many players added Shen Xingzhi as a friend. He would send a video call after adding the friend, and with just a few commands, he could tell what the other person was really capable of.
Whether it's an act or not, whether someone is a genuine special forces soldier or just wasting two years of mandatory service, it's hard to escape Shen Xingzhi's sharp eyes.
Only after confirming the identity will Shen Xingzhi ask the other party to send their professional information and personal attributes to proceed to the next step.
If it's fake, Shen Xingzhi will immediately delete the friend and move on to the next interview.
Of course, some soldiers have served for a long time, and their attributes are not so good due to discharge or injury. Shen Xingzhi will not delete them as friends, but will just drag them to another group.
It's good that the team only has 1,000 slots, but who says we can't have non-staff members?
It's true that the Chaoyang team only selects the best players, but these players shouldn't be wasted either. They are all talented individuals, much better than ordinary players, and shouldn't be overlooked.
Shen Xingzhi actually had some guesses about Yu Yanyan's thoughts.
Whether your guess is right or wrong, it's always good to prepare in advance and make arrangements.
Shen Xingzhi's eyes flickered for a moment, then returned to normal, and he continued with his work.
Besides Shen Xingzhi, Wang Ranran and the others also stayed up until 3 a.m. before going to sleep.
There was no way around it; Yu Yanyan's promises were too tempting, and they simply couldn't resist the urge to quickly develop their team.
When Yu Yanyan woke up the next day, she found that Wang Ranran and Shen Xingzhi had each handed her a list, each containing more than a dozen people.
Those were all selected through a rigorous screening process.
Especially Wang Ranran's list, which consisted of people she had inquired about, confirmed to be safe for the time being, and with good reputations before finalizing the list.
Yu Yanyan grinned, wondering if she had become too decadent. Look at how late everyone else was working, while she was already asleep.
She clearly wanted to develop Chaoyang properly, so why does she seem so unambitious in comparison?
Yu Yanyan sat on the bed for a few seconds, then suddenly shook her hair, got up, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Why worry about so much? Just focus on the big picture and leave the details to your employees.
Although the managers do not receive a salary, they have the right to purchase supplies within the group at a 20% discount.
With the Chaoyang Group, all sorts of casual players will be available, and it's only a matter of time before everyday items are taken care of.
A 20% discount can save you a lot of money, not to mention the priority purchase rights and various benefits.
Yu Yanyan watched a variety show and realized that "if you don't know how to lead a team, you'll have to work yourself to death."
Anyway, I have super useful and capable employees, so I can arrange things myself.
After Yu Yanyan finished washing up and went downstairs, she found Shen Xingzhi already in the living room.
Shen Xingzhi, who was setting out breakfast, looked up at Yu Yanyan coming down the stairs and said, "Good morning."
Yu Yanyan stepped down lightly, went straight to her seat, took the porridge that Shen Xingzhi had served her, thanked him, and sighed.
"You didn't go to bed until after 3 a.m. yesterday, how can you still get up so early and be so energetic?"
Those with good complexions don't look like they've been staying up all night at all.
Unlike me, whose dark circles become extremely noticeable when I stay up late.
Shen Xingzhi: "I'm used to it. As long as I can take a nap, I can recover my energy."
Yu Yanyan looked at him admiringly, swallowed the porridge in her mouth, and gave him a thumbs up.
"As expected of you."
The two chatted and laughed for a while, talked about recruitment matters, and then went about their own business after breakfast.
Yu Yanyan went to bake cookies, while Shen Xingzhi continued his interview.
An hour later, the two had digested the food and began their daily training.
The team is recruiting extensively, and the chat channel in Zone 6 is bustling with activity.
Although it looks grand and spectacular, it doesn't actually affect everyone's daily exploration at all; at most, they're a little busier after they return from their explorations.
Five days passed, and the first batch of members was finally recruited.
Excluding Yu Yanyan and Shen Xingzhi, the living group and the combat group each have exactly four hundred people, no more and no less.
The combat teams were the best of the best, with 400 teams selected through rigorous screening.
For casual gamers, the requirements were relaxed, and a few more were selected to make up the total.
Unfortunately, there are all sorts of people among casual gamers; you can't guarantee their character just because they can't guarantee their skill level.
Later, when players learned that the selection process in Chaoyang also considered character, Wang Ranran no longer needed to inquire; some well-meaning players would proactively "help."
Players will definitely expose anyone who does bad things or has questionable character.
It's purely a matter of "If I can't get in, you shouldn't expect to get on my good side so easily."
This saved Yu Yanyan and the others a lot of trouble, and in the end, the ones they helped select were all ones that really had no problems.
The few casual players who were finally brought together only had some minor, harmless issues.
Not to mention the combat players, they are all soldiers personally certified by Shen Xingzhi.
Players did dig, of course, but they didn't find anything wrong. Many people had clean hands, and even if they had committed murder, it was considered that the other party deserved to die.
Some of them were even well-known philanthropists.
Players can't argue with that; there's no way to smear it or drag it down.
At the time, Wang Ranran and the others exclaimed that the products handed over to the state were indeed of guaranteed quality.
Yu Yanyan heard that there were many other very good candidates, but there weren't enough spots available, so she wasn't selected.
Those people were divided up by Shen Xingzhi, and the best of them were included in the Chaoyang non-staff personnel, who could be transferred to formal members at any time according to Yu Yanyan's arrangement.
They are all fine.
Below them are those with slightly weaker abilities, but these are still formidable fighters.
Yu Yanyan felt heartbroken if she didn't recruit them; she never expected that there would still be so many people in District 6 who had served in the military for five years.
With over 700 out of 100,000 people, that's a pretty good ratio.
Shen Xingzhi's side also has quite a few special individuals, such as a famous world boxer, a Wing Chun master, and a well-known domestic surgeon who chose a combat profession but isn't particularly strong...
Yu Yanyan looked at the list and even found some players she recognized from her past life.
She plans to reorganize the list of these people and recruit all those who can be recruited, determined not to let any talent slip by.
-----------------------
Author's Note: Thank you to the Rikkai fan who's obsessed with Yukihito and 82 every day for providing the inspiration for the recruitment criteria for combat players! Please check your little red envelope~ I didn't even think of that at first, haha.
I wasn't looking for soldiers because I was attracted to them; I just thought they'd be easier to manage. Forgetting to mention the female soldiers was my oversight, and I apologize profusely! (I'm writing this after working overtime, so my brain might be a little foggy. I was just using the general term "male soldier," which seems to represent everyone.)
I never expected this to involve this aspect; don't accuse me of being a "boyfriend-lover."
I don't have a bias against soldiers; my ex-boyfriend was one. I know they're all sorts of people and have all sorts of relationships (but when writing, you have to avoid smearing soldiers, otherwise your work will be taken down and you know what I mean, even in fictional worlds).
I don't understand. People have been saying I like the male lead more because of the title. I just want to say that they're being too sensitive... If it's really that bad, I'll change the story. Can I just make it a story about female combat players?
The names are all based on the character settings. I explained it in the comments section a long time ago. The female lead and the lucky guy are a soft girl and a young girl, so the names are repeated to make them cute.
Yu Jingyan is a cool and sophisticated woman, but her name is very gentle, which is meant to create a contrast.
Li Zhiyao is an ordinary person, and her name also contains the character "Yao," which is quite common.
The male lead's name means "obedience and strict discipline," and it doesn't have any profound meaning at all (he has a bad background and was trained as a weapon since childhood. His boss hopes that he will be obedient and always follow his orders, so he was given this name, which is a little spoiler).
The male lead is there to support the female lead, and there isn't much of a romantic storyline. It's more about developing feelings over time and focusing on companionship (I'm not very good at writing romance, so I'll avoid that).
I specifically looked up Wu Wenzhuo; he was a nice-sounding name back then. On the contrary, Chen Pengfei, Huo Zhaoyan, and Li Yanxi were just random names, chosen purely for their appearance.
I had absolutely no intention of trying to seduce men. On the contrary, I seriously considered female names, while I was just perfunctory with male names. I will not reply to questions like this again in the future.
GG, I didn't get home until 9 pm today, so I can only update one chapter. I'll definitely make up for the chapter I owe you all before Wednesday! It's another day when I want to quit my job!
