Chapter 229
The taxi driver let out a long, helpless sigh:
"There's no other way. Life is tough these days, so I thought I'd start a side hustle."
"I'm planning to wait a while longer and then try writing a novel. Maybe I can even write a 'Sports 3'."
"You're overthinking it. These days, writing novels is a dead end."
Qin Yu was right about that.
After all, his novel "Horse Breaks the Sky" has become a top-tier novel on the Tomato Novel website, but so far, he has only barely earned a little over 100 million yuan.
You should know that in his previous life, the original author of this book earned several small fortunes just from this book.
This is enough to show how barren the cultural and entertainment industry is in this era.
……
More than ten minutes later, Qin Yu got out of the car and entered the Tomato Mall.
Arriving at a shop specializing in spirit stones, Qin Yu waved his hand and spent 500 million to buy 100 mid-grade spirit stones.
Just then, Qin Yu saw an open space in the distance filled with all sorts of signs, surrounded by a crowd of people.
"What's that place for?" Qin Yu asked curiously.
"Oh, that's a job market, for recruitment," the shop assistant explained.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu walked over with a hint of curiosity.
He wanted to see what kind of jobs this job market was hiring for.
[Hiring a rectangular building materials delivery engineer]
[Hiring a Front-End Lifting Engineer for a Security System]
[Hiring a distribution management engineer for useless outer packaging]
[Hiring an engineer to perfectly integrate plants and animals in high-temperature environments]
[Hiring a Shared Computer Network Financial Director]
……
Faced with the dazzling array of sophisticated terms before him, Qin Yu was completely speechless.
Bricklayers, gatekeepers, garbage collectors, cooks, internet cafe managers...
Good grief, the jobs they do are all incredibly low-tech, yet they give them fancy-sounding names.
Qin Yu scanned the list and found the most outrageous one.
[A Fortune 500 company is hiring!]
Company Name: Daxia Railway Third Bureau
[Hiring Staff]: Clerk
Salary ranges from 3000 to 2 yuan.
[Working Hours]: Night shift
[Job Requirements]: Female, with attractive features and a good figure; Bachelor's degree or above, preferably a recent graduate; open-minded and enthusiastic; primarily responsible for business reception.
[Recruitment Location]: Xiuyong Hotel
Qin Yu looked at the job requirements in front of him and exclaimed, "Wow!"
Goodness, this is a clerical job opening!
I'm really too embarrassed to point it out to you!
Qin Yu shook his head speechlessly and turned to leave.
However, at that moment, another job posting caught his attention.
The Adventurer's Party is seeking a translator who understands Goblin.
[Job Description]: Our Rice Squad is preparing to travel to a mysterious otherworldly realm where the creatures are mainly goblins, so we urgently need a translator who understands goblin language.
[Working Hours]: At least one week.
[Work Compensation]: 10,000 per day, plus 5% of the harvest in the secret realm.
[Recruitment Location]: 12th Floor, Fanghai Building.
Upon seeing this job posting, Qin Yu's eyes lit up.
Not only can you wander around otherworldly secret realms, but the treatment is also so generous?
This thing looks pretty good!
It really appealed to him!
As for why he doesn't understand Goblin language?
What's the problem? Just a little water.
After all, his system's marketplace happens to sell language cards for various ethnic groups.
With this in mind, Qin Yu opened the system shop and searched through it, finally finding the Goblin Language Beginner Card.
Unfortunately, because his system store is currently only at the most basic level, the language cards are also only available at the most basic level.
But Qin Yu felt that it was enough.
So he spent 30 role-playing points to buy the Goblin Language Card and clicked to use it.
In an instant, Qin Yu felt a series of strange and unusual linguistic knowledge flood into his mind.
"Is this goblin language? That's quite fascinating."
Feeling the sudden influx of knowledge into his mind, Qin Yu smiled.
His current goblin language level is roughly equivalent to that of a seven or eight-year-old goblin, which is more than enough for simple communication.
With this in mind, Qin Yu glanced at the recruitment location written on the job posting and then headed straight for Fanghai Building.
Upon arriving at the 12th floor of Fanghai Building, Qin Yu found that there were already more than a dozen people in the lobby, all sitting upright in their chairs with nervous expressions, practicing Goblin language in a mumbled voice. They were obviously there for Goblin language translator interviews.
The interviewer's seat is still vacant, obviously they haven't arrived yet.
At the same time, options appeared before Qin Yu's eyes.
[Option 1: Sit down and compete fairly with these interviewees. (Note: Eight of these interviewees have obtained the Advanced Goblin Language Certificate, and three have obtained the Superior Goblin Language Certificate.) Completion Reward: A large amount of Spirit Power]
Option 2: Pretend to be the interviewer, fool them all, and eliminate your competitors. Reward: 50 Spirit Points.
