Infrastructure starts from the game

"Apply for..."

Mr. Rachel thought it was a little funny.

He didn't take the Players Club recruitment notice seriously.

However, Mr. Lei Qie did not reject trying new tricks in the club. He pointed to the 'recruitment notice' and smiled at the receptionist: "I want to apply for 'Senior Architectural Designer'."

The hostess of the club showed a commercial smile: "I'm sorry, the requirements for this position are very high, we need to evaluate you first, can you accept it?"

Playing a game and even taking a test?

Mr. Rachel's curiosity was really raised at this moment.

As a real architect, he wanted to see what the so-called "assessment" was. Mr. Rachel raised his belly: "What kind of exam, just come!"

"Then please sign this temporary contract first." The receptionist said.

This set of cosplay seems to be quite decent!

Lei Qie thought, he looked at this temporary contract a few more times out of professional habits, and found that this contract is quite decent, although it is an 'assessment', but he has ownership of his design, and others must buy it can be used.

But who will buy it anyway?

Mr. Rachel didn't take it too seriously.

After he signed, the hostess led him to a room.

"Isn't this a game table?" Xue Li said without surprise.

Due to the consideration of sales strategy, Xieser did not promote game tables like the East Realm, but mainly sold host (X) game crystal balls, and then bought games to input into the game crystals.

But Rachel and his daughter have been to Cecilia, so they are naturally familiar with it, and because Mr. Rachel prefers stand-alone games to online games such as "Legend", the crystal ball game that their family bought in Cecilia China has most of the games released on the Eastland gaming table.

The hostess smiled and said, "Have you used it before? Then you should be able to get used to it faster than others."

Indeed, Mr. Rachel lit up the game table without the guidance of the hostess.

But this "game" on the game table is something that Mr. Leiqie has never seen before.

With the activation of the game table, empty clouds appeared on the table, like a construction site, only a few puppets stood dumbfounded, and the commentary sounded:

"Dear interviewer, I'm glad you're interested in our Dream Puppet company. But we're all grown-ups, let's put those polite words aside!"

"To put it bluntly, I don't need trash, I just need to be skilled!"

"In order to be worthy of your future salary, I need to conduct some small assessments on you."

"First of all, I need a lighthouse, which must be able to cover the range you can see."

"But don't be nervous. There is no time limit for this task. As long as your energy is not exhausted, you have enough time to complete this task."

"—Please begin!"

"Do you really want to design buildings?" Mr. Rachel asked in surprise.

He didn't understand who would like this kind of game.

Of course, as "game content", the construction conditions are much more relaxed, and there are even prototypes of lighthouses to choose from in the interface.

Xueli is more interested in this game than expected: "Daddy, I want this lighthouse, the pink stripes are very nice."

…Why are there pink stripes on the lighthouse?

But my daughter likes it, and it's not a real lighthouse, so it doesn't matter!

Mr. Lei Qie glanced at the building conditions: "So that's how it is. We have [-] initial building points, and these points can be exchanged for golems, building materials, and building buildings."

In the eyes of professional architects, this set of rules is similar to building blocks.

Mr. Leiqie didn't find it difficult. After comparing the numbers of the golems, he chose the strongest golem among them: "Then let's dig a foundation for the golem first!"

Only then did Mr. Rachel feel the difficulty of this "game".

The control of the puppet is too difficult.

The puppet was stupid and disobedient, and it was very difficult to command.

But his daughter looked at him with shining eyes.

If Little Xueli said something like "Daddy, so you can't command your workers", Mr. Rachel felt his heart would stop.

Of course, Mr. Leiqie didn't want his daughter to have any misunderstandings in his "professional field", but controlling the golem didn't seem to be easy at once. Mr. Leiqie was sweating a little anxiously, but he suddenly noticed a hint.

"This 'game' can also have an assistant!" Mr. Leiqie pretended to ask his daughter, "Little Xueli, can you do Daddy a favor and collect the materials needed for the building."

"Leave it to me!" Xueli replied enthusiastically.

After her father gave her the position of "assistant", she entered the material store.

The shopping process was more interesting than Xueli imagined.

Xueli thought that the store was full of stones and cement, but it turned out that there were not only "dream flowers", "giant peas", "moonlight fireflies", "lovers' thoughts" and "complete rainbows", but also stones There are also various options depending on the processing method.

Xueli assembled excitedly, and suddenly forgot to pay attention to her father.

Mr. Rachel was relieved to see this.

He took advantage of the time when Xueli was shopping in the store, trying to control the puppet, and finally dug out the foundation after ten minutes.

"Okay, we can build the tower," Mr. Rachel said happily, but when he looked at his daughter, he was stunned.

What is that pile of shiny, colorful things?

"Materials!" Xueli said, "I think magic materials should be better than ordinary materials, right?"

"Oh..." What is the magic material?

The materials that Mr. Rachel has come into contact with are still limited to pure non-magical materials.

Xueli noticed the change in her father's expression, and her face was a little gloomy: "Is it not possible? I also compared the hardness and strength of the materials, thinking that it can be replaced."

"Xue Li said yes, of course." Mr. Lei Qie hurriedly said.

He has always had no principles for his daughter.

Isn't it just using magic materials to build towers? It's considered as an experimental new material, of course he can.

Mr. Rachel made up his mind. He immediately studied the properties of various materials and began to write and draw in his portable notebook.

After all, Mr. Leiqie is not a real "player". He subconsciously uses his working ideas to solve the problems encountered in the "game".

Fortunately, this is not a real "game". You can play it simply or treat it hard.

Mr. Rachel's painstaking efforts will not be in vain.

After fighting for half a day, the pink-striped lighthouse that Xueli had fancy was completed.

However, due to the different materials, this lighthouse is quite different from its prototype.

The stripes on this lighthouse are not painted, but a strange magic ore. This kind of ore is like a plant-like crystal cluster, which will grow naturally and wrap the lighthouse. In order to solve this problem, Mr. Rachel A worm nest was made on the lighthouse. The worms in it used crystal clusters as food during the day, and returned to the nest at night. The wings emitted a pink light similar to crystal clusters, like lights, illuminating the entire sea of ​​clouds .

After completing this completely off-topic design, Mr. Rachel felt a little subtle.

He hesitated and pressed the final scoring button.

Then the voice at the beginning sounded again:

"This lighthouse... ah, it seems that it is not just an ordinary lighthouse, you have built a small ecological circle!"

"Very creative move!"

"My rating is—"

"90 points!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Interviewer, you have passed the first assessment."

"Get a score of 180 points!"

"May I ask if you want to continue to improve this map? Or go to the next assessment?"

"Can it be perfected?" Mr. Rachel asked in surprise.

The voice replied: "Of course, you can also set a reasonable price to display it in the store, so that other interviewers can see your unique design, or they will be more willing to buy it than the old-fashioned design already in the store. Use your designs!"

"Of course they will buy it, because this lighthouse is much more interesting than the original one," Shirley said.

Compared with the score of the "game", Mr. Leiqie was very happy with his daughter's praise. He happily bought some materials and used them as decorations around the lighthouse. He marked a price for his own lighthouse and hung it in the store.

"Then let's play another round!" Mr. Rachel said enthusiastically.

Xue Li looked at Mr. Lei Qie's face but hesitated: "Daddy, next time! You seem to be very tired, and your face is a little pale."

"Is there?" Mr. Rachel touched his cheek.

Xueli didn't feel that there was anything wrong without reminding him. After he was actually reminded, he felt a little tired.

Moreover, Mr. Rachel found that his "energy value" in the "game" had also dropped sharply.

Remembering that the end of this game is not based on the score of the building, but on the maintenance of the energy value, Mr. Rachel could only nod reluctantly.

"Okay, next time!" he said.

This "game" is much more fun than he imagined!

The next day, Mr. Rachel came to his office in a happy mood.

He was not surprised to see his colleague, Mr. Noy, sitting on the seat with thick dark circles under his eyes, with a pile of sketches and discarded design drafts thrown beside him.

"You didn't go back again?" Mr. Rachel asked worriedly.

"..."

It took the colleague three seconds to realize that Mr. Rachel was talking to him.

He shook his head slowly, he was not so much a zombie as a tin puppet, and there was a faint "creak" sound from the neck.

Seeing this, Mr. Rachel hesitated for a moment, took out a can of happy water to replenish energy from the drawer, and handed it to the other party.

Not much left.

Although stores around tin dolls also sell happy water, people are more willing to buy beauty water, or use lucky water to try their luck—this is a strange statement, but lucky water does sometimes work and sometimes not ——So there is no such thing as energy and happiness water to buy in Shesser.

Mr. Rachel’s Vigorous and Happy Water was brought back from his trip to Cecilia on Holy Spirit’s Day, and this thing is heavy but not expensive. I’m embarrassed to ask others to carry it, so every bottle I drink is one bottle less.

Mr. Rachel's heart hurts when he uses it.

It's just that he was more worried about his colleague's sudden death in his seat than heartache.

"You don't have to fight that hard, do you? Didn't Party A of this project not mention conditions?" Mr. Lei Qie said.

"I'd rather he put forward conditions! It's not my problem if it doesn't work." Mr. Noy ​​replied in a hoarse voice.

Mr. Rachel sighed.

This Mr. Noye is also unlucky.

Both he and Rachel are the signatures of this firm, but compared to Mr. Rachel who has just emerged in recent years, Noy has become famous at a young age and has been famous for a long time. He built the largest theater in Shesser.

It's a pity that if you have a big name, you will attract right and wrong.

Recently, for some unknown reason, the city hall suddenly wanted to repair Shesser's large teleportation array, so it recruited a designer.

The pay is rich, but the designers at Sesser shake their heads.

After all, it is a teleportation array!Which of the current designers dare to say that they understand the design of the teleportation array?

Not to mention that the location of Cesser's teleportation array is located on the bottom of the sea——

That's right, Shesser's teleportation array is a product of the first era. It is said to be one of the temples of the God of Commerce, a real miracle!

This thing should not last until the second era, but the second era was maintained by mermaids and aquariums because of its business with the undersea kingdom. The teleportation array was abandoned.

But for human architects, this is simply impossible project.

Mr. Rachel felt that the city hall was simply unreasonable. He thought that even if he wanted to repair the teleportation array, he should invite the mages from the Royal Mage Tower or the Cecilia Mage Tower to use it, instead of asking ordinary architects to repair it.

——Where did Mr. Rachel know that this project is actually the selfish intention of a certain earl. He wants to reconnect the teleportation array in the east to achieve business transactions, but before the emperor dies and the crown prince ascends the throne, he can't do it blatantly, so Not only did he not dare to invite the royal mages, he even dared not invite the mages of Cecilia, for fear that the mages would find out.

Only in the name of "maintaining historical sites" can the teleportation array be tampered with.

This makes architects suffer.

After searching around, the city hall couldn't find any suitable candidates, so they had to forcefully arrest Noy, who fell on Noy's head.

But what I want to say about this matter is that the bully Noi has no backing.

Originally, the backstage boss of this firm was quite tough, but Noy recently wanted to start his own studio independently, and offended the boss, so the firm refused to provide asylum.

Mr. Rachel even suspected that the firm pushed Mr. Noy ​​out on purpose: Anyway, this is a good favor, even if it fails, it will damage Noy's reputation and cut off his desire to be independent; and Noy succeeded , it is the credit of the firm, and finally use Noy to make another fortune, which is not a loss.

In this regard, Mr. Rachel is a bit sad.

But he was just a worker, and he was still on the rise, so he didn't dare to offend the boss.

What's more, Mr. Rachel can't help you with this matter.

Mr. Rachel could only sigh, watching Noy rummaging through the documents.

Suddenly, a certain blueprint in Noye's hand attracted Mr. Rachel's attention.

"What's that?" asked Mr. Rachel.

"...This?" Noy still took a few seconds to react.

He slowly raised the blueprint in his hand, on which a group of pink crystal clusters were vividly drawn.

very beautiful.

Also very familiar.

But Noy looked at this with a gloomy face: "If only I knew what this is, it grows on the outer wall of the teleportation array, I can't knock it open at all, and I can't enter the core of the teleportation array to check the internal situation. I've scoured every record and dictionary I can find and can't find where this came from."

"...It's 'mermaid tears'."

"what?"

"This magic material is called 'mermaid tears'. As the name suggests, it is said to be the tears of mermaids, but it is actually a natural magic mineral erupted from a volcano. Mermaids often use its growth to repair their cities... probably That's it." Rachel recited the description of the materials he saw yesterday.

Noy stared blankly at Leiqie, he suddenly stood up with a "boom", and grabbed Mr. Leiqie's hand.

"This information... where did you see this information?" His voice cracked.

"...Tulip Players Club."

"what?"

"However, his main magic gear is an alchemy workshop, and the boss is a middle-level mage. The description on the magic material should actually exist! At least he doesn't place this material in the 'game', I don't Will know the existence of this material!"

"what?"

"Speaking of that game, the degree of realism is quite high. I think I will be able to build a magical building when I level up in the future." Mr. Lei Qie thought, and he felt itchy again.

"what!"

"Otherwise, I'll take you to have a look?" Mr. Lei Qie asked privately.

He grabbed the dazed Noi and left the studio.

Half an hour later, Noy and Rachel stood in the nearest Tulip Players Club.

Noye finally figured out the situation on the way, but he thought Mr. Rachel was totally crazy because of it.

"You think a 'game' simulates our work? Are you too addicted to the game?" Noy said in disbelief.

"Just look at it!" Mr. Rachel said, starting the game table.

The voice rang again: "You are here again? Job seeker."

"You have passed the first stage of the test, but the second stage of the test will not be so simple."

"Judging from the first stage of assessment, you have a lot of ideas about the use of magic materials, so I hope you can use your talents."

"For this task, I need you to build a square above the clouds."

This task is obviously much more difficult than the first stage, but like the first stage, there are several models in the store. If Mr. Lei Qie wants to be lazy, he just needs to build according to the model.

But in front of the most outstanding colleagues, it is naturally impossible for Mr. Leiqie to give up his self-esteem and do such meaningless things.

What's more, he came here for the magic material inside.

Mr. Rachel opened the store, carefully selected the magic materials inside, compared the uses of various materials, and designed the square.

Of course, he used the puppet again.

However, compared to the day before, Mr. Leiqie obviously has a lot of patience, so he is more proficient in controlling the puppet.

And Mr. Noy ​​just looked at it disapprovingly at first, he even felt that Mr. Rachel was wasting his time, but after a while, he looked into it.

Follow Mr. Rachel to study how to build this square.

He even helped to check the materials of the square and calculate the value of the square.

Unbeknownst to Mr. Rachel and Mr. Noye, the plaza they built was actually emerging in front of a castle somewhere.

And it wasn't just their place that emerged, there were also many bubbles floating around, and inside were squares built by different characters.

Unfortunately, the other plazas have a high degree of similarity, and most of them are collaged with existing materials in the store. Although there are some differences in details, they are generally not interesting.

So the slender little hand waved these squares away, and chose Mr. Rachel's square to be placed in front of the castle.

A Bubble looked down at all this from the balcony of the castle, and shook its head (the place was probably his head): "That black robe did something strange again!"

"Of course, Mr. Angel is the greatest!" Enlis, the owner of the little hand and future dream master, said in a firm tone.

"No, I'm not complimenting him... Forget it, let's take it as a compliment!" Demon God Jerry muttered.

After all, he is the real Demon King, and even he, the Demon God, can't do better than that black robe.

It's hard to imagine that the man who built the kingdom in his dream actually designed it for him willingly by using human beings, and this design can be realized in reality with just a little movement.

Jerry paused, and muttered: "No, I did it in the first place to do it in reality! And the luck of this black robe is too good!"

From the very beginning, architectural designers took the bait, and there was no need to drop this fish.

Even the gods may not have such good luck.

Simply loved by the will of the world.

"Mr. Angel is not lucky!" Enlis said angrily.

Jerry has always wondered how Enlis's learning ability can be so strong?Because this girl usually doesn't listen to people's important points when she is obedient, but likes to distort according to her own consciousness.

The same is true now.

Enlis obviously doesn't think "good luck" is a good thing, she thinks this word exists to erase hard work.

If someone said Enlis like that, Enlis wouldn't feel anything wrong, but if it was about Angor, Enlis couldn't bear it, after all, she was a fanatic of Angor.

"Angel has calculated everything. Although these two designers are some kind of accident——the reason for their appearance is even more inevitable, because they are bound to be here because of the laying of the line in front," Enlisi emphasized. , "But Mr. Angel's plan, how could it be just two designers?"

"What else did he do?" Demon God Jerry showed a toothache.

Although he has no teeth.

"He's going to save everyone!" Enlis said, opening her hands.

Jerry looked at Enlis, and felt that this little girl was brainwashed and there was no way out.

How could that black robe save everyone?

He just takes advantage of everyone, right?

So, who else is he going to use?

"Excuse me, sir, do you want candy?" a waiter at a tin doll peripheral shop asked.

The person she questioned, a homeless man's eyes widened in surprise.

Although the store is often engaged in activities, these homeless people are obviously "non-existent people" and are ignored.

But the clerk smiled and said: "Delicious dream candy, you can learn how to operate puppet!"
