Chapter 2 Bad luck

Late at night, Yang Fan’s residence.

Yang Fan dragged his body that seemed to have lost his soul and hugged the cardboard box home at a loss. He entered the room, and even took off his shoes, and fell straight on the bed.

I really didn't expect that the willful girl was the daughter of Mr. Wang,

The company he used to be under the name of a large international consortium, in charge of the planning department of the virtual online game "Rule" development and operation. Many people couldn't squeeze in, but he was kicked out because of such a trivial matter. It was really heartbreaking.

After several years of hard work, I can’t compare to a revenge from the superiors. What’s the point of keeping going like this?

Self-esteem made Yang Fan get up and leave without saying a word of nonsense. What he left to his colleagues was a chic back, but only he knew the pain in his heart best.

What have I gained over the past few years?

Project producer, project manager, producer, project manager, art, planning consultant, technical analyst, project monitoring, product manager, operation manager, game designer, programmer, quality manager, screenwriter...

In the workplace, countless positions appeared in his mind, making Yang Fan feel a little overwhelmed. He suddenly felt a little discouraged, and many things he valued in the past collapsed.

Early the next morning, Yang Fan logged into the online banking to check the balance in his account. He only had a pitiful 800 yuan. As a single white-collar worker who was wandering outside, Yang Fan spent money and did not have the habit of saving money. He usually did not feel embarrassed to maintain this habit. Only when he lost his job did he understand the importance of a stable income to him.

"Rent, water and electricity are 2,000 yuan a month, 1,000 yuan is sent home, 800 yuan is spent on your own food and drink, and the others are hundreds of yuan... Damn, there is not much left, I'm about to go bankrupt."

There is a very serious problem now, that is, his source of income has been cut off. What makes Yang Fan even more sad is that this job is not so much a job, but rather a dream. He has worked hard for it and spent several years of his youth, but in the end it turns into nothing, which is simply a pity.

But no matter what, life still has to be lived.

Yang Fan counted his few possessions.

"Fortunately, there is still more than 10,000 'severance payment', otherwise I wouldn't be able to survive this month. It's so big, so it's really hard to ask for money from my family. No matter what, go find a job first."

Forced himself to face it calmly, Yang Fan decided to try to find a job. First of all, of course, he wanted to see what information there was on the Internet. In this era, the Internet was more developed and everything could be solved online.

Originally, based on Yang Fan's experience of working at Noel Company, he could easily find a similar planning job, but when he looked at some recruitment information on the Internet, he was speechless.

At this time, "Rules" was rampant, and most game companies had withdrawn from the market. The only remaining ones were also working for "Rules" and Noel to expand the operational areas that he was not familiar with.

It is basically impossible to find another R&D job - after the ruins, there will be no online games. This sentence was proud of all the planning team members at the time!

He looked at other jobs again, but found that most of them were not attracted by them. Those who were slightly better also needed to have relevant experience, or have a bachelor's degree or above (excluding) education.

Yang Fan was intentionally moved and sent a resume to a company that was still insisting on developing new games.

After thinking about it, he found other similar companies and sent resumes.

A few days later—

Unexpectedly, most companies expressed their strong interest in his experience at Noel and were willing to give him an interview opportunity. Yang Fan went to the interview with confidence, but unexpectedly, the process was extremely difficult. After running for a few days, there was no progress. Those companies just asked him to go over for an interview, and there was no reply.

The reason is very simple: the most prosperous modern productive market is the virtual economy market. In reality, many companies are in a bad mood and no longer need people like him.

I can't even find a job! It's like a rainy night and it's dark!

After several days of searching, Yang Fan returned to his nest exhausted and sat on the sofa weakly.

He loosened his ties for a long time and hadn't tied them, and he was so painful that he thought about his future, but after thinking about it, he didn't think of a good idea.

Thinking of his experience of applying for jobs in those companies, he couldn't help but smile bitterly... Most companies were attracted by his experience in Noel, hoping to dig out some secrets from it, but he could not reveal these things to them, and both parties could not negotiate at all. What's even more funny is that a company actually regarded him as a "professional player" and wanted to recruit him to be a "gold farmer", so Yang Fan got up and left on the spot.

The once fiercely competitive online game market has been completely monopolized by giants. After leaving Noel, there is really nowhere to go.

"Forget it, this problem will not be solved for a while, so let's take a break first."

He had no choice but to make this decision - his current mood is just one word, annoyed!

Yang Fan sighed slightly and touched the kitchen, but found that he forgot to go to the mall when he came back today, and the refrigerator was empty. Fortunately, he had eaten outside before he came back, otherwise he might have gone hungry tonight.

This is the miserable situation of a single man.

The night was long and in a state of distraction, he couldn't help but log in to The Relics. This was also a natural move, but the situation is a bit different now.

Officials appear in the game due to work needs, and need to log in with a special account through an internal dedicated channel to obtain permission granted from the server, which is commonly known as the GM number. Ordinary accounts have no privileges.

Yang Fan habitually entered the "GM number", and the system returned the prompt that this account did not exist, and then came back to his senses, laughed at himself, and logged in to another ordinary account again.

During Noel's days, he entered the game as a tester almost every day, but he was not playing, but testing the part he was responsible for. Now, he is no longer a member of Noel's planning team. The long-clogged ordinary account was activated again. After the information about the correct account opening information was displayed, Yang Fan put on the game helmet and entered the world of "Rule".

It was a magic swordsman with the character ID of "Azure Blue Rage". Although he had been fired, he couldn't help but play with his feelings for "The Relics".

However, he was sad to find that he was out of touch with the whole game and did not feel as comfortable as before.

Then there is the equipment issue.

Although there is no such thing as "experience" and "upgrade" in "Rule", so this aspect will not be disconnected, but the differences in equipment and skills are even greater. Now his whole body of equipment is still around the best 30th grade half a year ago, and it is also the green equipment obtained from plot tasks. The gap is not ordinary with the popular 40-quality blue equipment produced in the current dungeon.

His profession is a magic swordsman, and other equipment is okay, but the sword in his hand is also a 25-grade mission green sword. The attack damage is only 13-20, and the additional attribute is +5 damage, which is really unattractable!

"Well, someone will take a group to brush the grassland demon wolf, so I'll go and mix the materials as well."

Now that he is almost poor, Yang Fan has no choice but to form a team leader who is recruiting personnel and follow the brigade to get materials...

As a result, not long after-

"What's wrong? That wave of monsters has not been completely covered, and someone is paddling!"

A duck-voiced mage screamed, pointing at Yang Fan, who was struggling to fight monsters on the other side with contempt, "It's that swordsman."

"It's him, I've been paying attention just now. He hasn't let a group attacker go from the beginning to now!"

"It takes him more than 15 seconds to cut a monster."

"He will lose half of his blood if he is chopped once, and he can't even save him..."

It seemed that the fire bucket was detonated, and the entire team blew up, filled with complaints from the members. Everyone expressed their immense contempt and strong dissatisfaction with the "gangster" who tried to mix into the material team.

Leader of the group: "I officially warn you. If you don't even learn all the skills or are deliberately going to make trouble, withdraw immediately."
