Chapter 113 "Concentration Camp" Notes ([-])
Brother Long ran into the main room, and the door was closed again soon after, and the noise of people chatting was heard again in the yard.

"What kind of games do you usually play?" Zhang Lexing had nothing to do, so he just did a market research by the way.

Now everyone is talking about everything, some like the "Final Fantasy" series, some like action games like "Castlevania", and some like strategy games like the Three Kingdoms, like Sega's signature "Sonic" ", and so on, Zhang Lexing even found out that there are a few people who like computer games, but in comparison, the people who come here are mainly those who like game consoles. No wonder the magazine after its official publication is called "Video Game Software". It's really like people flock together.

But speaking of it, these people can be regarded as relatively fanatical game lovers, Zhang Lexing couldn't help thinking: "Should I consider attracting these people to my company as game testers, anyway, there are no real game testers in China now , I believe that with their enthusiasm, as long as they can persevere, they will definitely be able to do a good job in game testing, and maybe they can also discover game development talents from them.”

Zhang Lexing has always agreed with Blizzard’s point of view. He believes that only those who like to play games can make really good games. Therefore, when recruiting employees, they pay attention to whether they have played games. If people in a game company don’t like games themselves, how can it be possible? Make a work that satisfies the players.

There used to be a small flower bed in the middle of the yard, perhaps because of lack of maintenance, now there is only a circle of red bricks and weeds in the middle.Zhang Lexing stood on the remains of the small flower bed, then clapped his hands vigorously, attracting everyone's attention.

Seeing that most of the people were looking at him, Zhang Lexing began to post his own message: "Everyone, are you interested in doing game testing?"

"Game testing, what's that for?" a slightly overweight person asked loudly.

"Game testing, to put it simply, you can play games from morning to night every day, and you can still get paid." Zhang Lexing explained.

"There will be such a good thing, you will not lie to us." A tall and thin man wearing a pair of glasses questioned.

"I didn't lie to you. If you are interested, you can go to Beihang Building in Madian Bridge on the North Third Ring Road. There is a game company established last year called Creative Workshop. It is currently recruiting game testers. Can you go and have a look? , there will be no loss anyway.”

Now the yard has completely become a pot of porridge. People are arguing with each other in twos and threes, and those who believe and those who don't believe in each other.After releasing the news, just as Zhang Lexing jumped down from the small flower bed, Lin Musen came over.

Lin Musen poked Zhang Lexing lightly, and asked, "I said, is what you just said true?"

"Of course it's true. It's impossible for me to come here to make fun of everyone."

Lin Musen took a step back, looked Zhang Lexing up and down carefully, and said, "I didn't pay much attention to it just now, it seems that you are not a student."

"I have never said that I am a student. When I met you before, I really planned to go to Pioneer Cartoon. Later, I heard that the editorial department here is preparing a magazine introducing games. I was curious, so I followed you here. .”

Lin Musen thought about it carefully, it was really like this, he shook his head, he could blame someone for being sloppy.Sighing, Lin Musen asked again: "Then who are you?"

"I'm a game maker, and I'm from that creative workshop. I've dealt with Pioneer Cartoon before, but I haven't contacted you for a while, so I wanted to go and have a look, and I happened to run into you guys."

"Oh, so that's the case, no wonder you said that just now." Lin Musen showed a sudden realization expression, and then leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Is there a quota limit for the game testing job you just mentioned?"

"Of course there are. It seems that there are twenty or thirty people."

Lin Musen said in a low voice: "Hey, brother, it is fate that we met today, can you help me talk to the leaders of your company, and leave me a spot."

"You are not from the Chinese Department of Tsinghua University. You are already a senior. You should have a job assignment."

"Hey, you don't know, college graduates are now encouraged to find their own way out, even if there is an assignment, no one wants to go. The key is that we like to play games, so how can we miss such a good opportunity."

"Well, what major are you in the Chinese Department?"

"I major in editing in the Chinese Department, but my strength is still playing games. If you talk about my game history, you will be shocked." Lin Musen cleared his throat and was about to introduce his strengths in detail: "I haven't played games yet." I used to play it when I was in elementary school…”

"Okay, okay, stop, stop." Zhang Lexing knew Lin Musen's habits along the way. Once he let him speak smoothly, he couldn't stop for a while, so he quickly interrupted him, and continued. Question: "If you major in editing in the Chinese Department, your writing skills should be pretty good."

"That's right, there's nothing to say about our writing style. Even the boss of the editorial department, Xunfeng, thinks highly of us. If we don't need people for the time being, maybe we are also a member of the editorial department." Lin Musen praised himself Not at all polite.

"Okay, let me tell you about it for you, but you have to go there yourself and hand over your resume, so that it will be more convenient."

"Okay, I'll prepare it when I go back tonight, and send it over tomorrow morning."

"Remember not to go to the wrong place, the 8th floor of Beihang Building." Zhang Lexing kindly reminded him again.

"Don't worry, I remember it, it's the 8th floor of the Beihang Building, it can't be wrong."

……

The noisy time passed quickly. During this period, several rounds of people went into the right wing to play games. In addition to continuing to chat with Lin Musen and his friends, Zhang Lexing also chatted with two other circles.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and with Brother Long's figure appearing at the door of the main room, the courtyard became quiet again.Appearing with Brother Long was the man wearing glasses who called him in before. Judging from what Brother Long called people, it should be the editor-in-chief Liu Wenyu, also known as Xunfeng.The reason why the yard is so quiet may be because Nanfeng has also come out.

Zhang Lexing didn't stand in a daze like the others, but walked directly to the main room. Since the time was right, he decided to make a connection first.

"Editor Liu, Brother Long, how are you two!"

Seeing Zhang Lexing coming forward to say hello, Long Ge was not surprised at all, but the editor-in-chief Xun Feng asked a little surprised: "Qiu Zhaolong, who is this?"

"Well, he's Lin Musen's friend Zhang Lexing, and it's his first time here today."

"Oh, so it's that little guy's friend," editor-in-chief Xanfeng smiled, and said kindly to Zhang Lexing, "Mr. Zhang, welcome to the editorial department."

"It's better to meet by chance than to invite each other. Since everyone is destined to get together here, why don't I be the host and invite colleagues from the editorial department to have a meal at noon." Zhang Lexing sent out his own invitation. Although Brother Long would definitely take care of the meal, how could he It's a shame to let him spend money.

"Then how can I do it? Anyway, in this editorial department, I can be regarded as the owner. There is no reason to ask customers to pay for it." Brother Long refused to do it.

"That's right, it's the first time for Mr. Zhang to come to the editorial department, so how can he cost you money!" the editor-in-chief Xun Feng also persuaded.

"You two, I'm actually here on behalf of Creative Workshop, which is a game company. I heard that you are preparing a magazine about games. This is the first of its kind in China, so I want to see if there is any opportunity for cooperation. "

"This..." Brother Long scratched his head, his eyes involuntarily drifted to the editor-in-chief.

"In that case, let's go together." The editor-in-chief, Nanfeng, simply agreed.

"Editor-in-Chief, do you want to talk to Boss Lin..." Brother Long leaned into the editor-in-chief Xun Feng's ear and asked in a low voice.

The editor-in-chief, Xun Feng, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, we can make decisions about our site, and we don't need to bother with everything."

"But I promised to take care of those people in the yard just now. Wouldn't it be too disrespectful if I left by myself." Brother Long looked at the people in the yard with a regretful expression on his face.

"It's okay, let's go eat together, I don't mind. But it's better to find another small private room, so that it will be more convenient for us to talk about things." Zhang Lexing was generously embraced, and a good person simply followed through: "But I'm not familiar with the neighborhood, is there any good place to eat?"

After the problem was solved, Long Ge showed a relieved expression on his face, and immediately slapped his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of finding the place."

After finishing speaking, Brother Long turned around and went back to the house. He didn't come out until five or six minutes later, but when he came out, his face was full of joy, probably because the matter was settled.

"Okay, the place has been contacted. It's not far from here. It definitely meets the requirements." Brother Long proudly announced his achievements.

……

After Brother Long announced that he was going to eat, the people in the yard burst into the most enthusiastic cheers, and then a large group of people rushed out of the yard and marched towards the place that Brother Long had chosen to eat. Once I met two other editors, Tian Song and old D Liu Rude.Tian Song is a little older than Long Ge, with a cold expression on his face, and a posture of rejecting people thousands of miles away. He actually studied philosophy, and he doesn't know how he came to this editorial department.Old D Liu Rude's age is estimated to be the second in the editorial department, but he looks like a teacher, as expected of a graduate from Beijing Normal University, just chatting with him about games, it seems that he doesn't know much.

When leaving the yard, Zhang Lexing found that Ma Guanghai was still wandering around there pushing a bicycle. Since he had already said it, there was no need to let Ma Guanghai go hungry alone at noon.Zhang Lexing waved his hand, called Ma Guanghai over, and introduced him to the four members of the editorial department. Of course, he didn't say that Ma Guanghai was his bodyguard, but that he was his colleague.

After riding a bicycle for about ten minutes, I arrived at the place Long Ge had decided to eat - "Tian Tian Mei" restaurant, which was said to be opened by a friend of Long Ge.From the outside, the restaurant doesn't look too big, but it's quite clean.When I walked into the restaurant, I realized that the inside was bigger than I imagined, and it felt a little bit strange.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, a cheerful fat man greeted him, and said: "The three big tables and private rooms you want are all reserved, and they are all friends of Brother Long, and they are also friends of me, Fatty Xing, if you need anything, just say it. "

Brother Long patted Fatty on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Fatty Xing, this person is here too, let's serve the food first."

"Okay, you guys sit down first, the food will be served soon!" Fatty Xing turned around and walked towards the kitchen, still looking cheerful.

……

A group of people went to their own battlefields, and Brother Long went to greet those playmates who claimed to be helping. Zhang Lexing, Ma Guanghai, Xunfeng, Tian Song, and Lao D walked into the small private room next to them, and talked about things while preparing to eat , I didn't expect that Lin Musen to follow in with the cheek, in his words: "We are also infinitely close to the candidates of the editorial department members, how can I be missing on such an important occasion."

Zhang Lexing glanced at the editor-in-chief Xunfeng, and he didn't object to Lin Musen following in, so this guy who was called the "fifth person" in the editorial department just sat at the table in the small private room.Before anyone else could make a move, Lin Musen unceremoniously dropped his chopsticks on the bowl of peanuts on the table, as if he hadn't eaten breakfast.
