A Major Double-Standard Incident

However, Bronya didn't take this small matter to heart—or perhaps Bronya preferred the behavior of Liu Bai and Elysia.

"Time is precious, so let's not waste any more time. Which of you would like to proceed with the interview?"

"I'll go first."

Liu Bai took a step forward—mainly to set an example for Elysia.

However, to be fair, he didn't actually have much interview experience.

It seems like the only interview I've ever had was the one when Himeko joined Schicksal?

So now it seems like I can only rely on my social skills.

"Would Liu Bai like to go first?"

Bronya nodded indifferently.

"Please don't be shy. Since the studio is newly established, there is no dedicated interview location. Please find a chair wherever you like."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bai nodded and casually pulled over the nearest chair to sit down.

Bronya then moved a chair and sat down directly opposite Liu Bai, looking at him coldly.

... Being treated like this by Bronya all of a sudden feels really strange.

Being interrogated by his own sister with a cold gaze... well, it was an interview, and Liu Bai felt inexplicably nervous.

Liu Bai nervously adjusted the tie on the suit that the dream had given him.

"Liu Bai, do you have a resume prepared?"

Bronya crossed her legs, placed her hands on her lap, and asked Liu Bai in a cold voice.

CV?

Does that kind of thing still exist?

Liu Bai twitched the corner of his mouth.

... Well, as an uninvited guest in the dream, I'm already grateful that they changed my clothes; I can't expect anything more.

"...No."

Chapter 297 A Scene of Massive Double Standards

"Don't you have a resume?"

Bronya glanced at Liu Bai, who was fidgeting in front of her, and smiled.

"Please relax. It's alright if you're not prepared. Our Principle Studio values work ability more, so I'm going to ask some questions. I hope Liu Bai can answer them honestly."

"Um... of course, may I ask?"

Liu Bai was mainly unaccustomed to the strange feeling of being "interrogated" by his younger sister.

"May I ask what your educational background is?" Bronya picked up a pen and paper from the side and asked.

"Hmm... university?"

Liu Bai thought about it for a moment, and realized that he was indeed a college graduate in terms of education.

To take it a step further, what if you time-traveled before you even graduated from university?

... Although he is now a top-level scientist in terms of knowledge.

"University."

Bronya nodded as she took notes.

"As a college student, what were Liu Bai's reasons for choosing to join our Principle Studio?"

"Of course, we want to create a masterpiece at the Principle Studio that will go down in gaming history."

"Oh... it seems Liu Bai really has confidence in our Principle Studio."

Bronya continued to nod.

"Mr. Liu Bai, do you have any prior experience in the gaming industry?"

"No...".

"No?"

Bronya pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly twice.

"That's alright. This also means that Liu Bai won't be easily limited by conventional designs. One last question, Liu Bai, what are your expectations for the future?"

"Of course, it's about making a truly great game under your leadership, Ms. Bronya."

Liu Bai spoke the platitudes with a serious expression.

He himself felt that what he said was a bit hypocritical...

Bronya made a few more notes, then stood up and extended her hand to Liu Bai: "Congratulations, Liu Bai, I have confirmed that you are the talent that our Principle Studio urgently needs."

"Huh?"

Liu Bai subconsciously shook hands with Bronya, but then seemed a little puzzled.

No, did you ask any questions during the interview?

Or did Bronya actually ask some deeper questions that she herself didn't realize?

"Um, Ms. Bronya, may I ask why I was accepted? I feel like my performance just now wasn't very good."

This was his first job interview ever, and it was a surprise interview. The interviewer was his real-life sister, and her figure had become so stunning... It would be a miracle if he could perform well.

Bronya smiled when she heard Liu Bai's question, "To be honest, from your speech just now, Liu Bai, I can sense that you are a young man with great ambitions for the game industry. Although you are still inexperienced, I believe that given time, you will definitely become an excellent game designer."

...?

Did you really exhibit what you described?

Although Liu Bai had a lot of complaints he wanted to complain about, he didn't say anything more when he saw the words "[Stage goal completed]" on the System Panel.

In short, I guess I passed this interview?

But it seems like the more important issue of salary was skipped... Oh well, let's not worry about the details in a dream.

This was her first time being interviewed, and it was probably Bronya's first time interviewing someone else.

Then Liu Bai glanced at Elysia discreetly.

Although he wasn't a very good role model, he believed that Elysia had already figured out some of the tricks of the trade.

In social situations, Elysia completely outshines me.

"Hey hey~~? I'm next, right~"

While responding to Liu Bai's gaze, Elysia suppressed her resentment and gave Bronya a lively smile.

"Miss Elysia, please have a seat." Bronya seemed completely unmoved by Elysia's friendliness. "Do you have a resume prepared?"

"Sorry, no."

"I see."

Bronya frowned, but then relaxed.

"In that case, I'll ask Miss Elysia some questions, just like Liu Bai did."

"Excuse me."

Despite trying to appear approachable, Elysia still adopted a formal and serious posture when she heard the other person was about to ask a question.

After all, this seems to be a rather serious setting.

"Miss Elysia, what is your educational background?"

"A university degree~" Elysia said, half-jokingly.

Education? How could she possibly have that?

However, in terms of knowledge, Elysia was certain that she was at the level of a college student, or even higher.

On the one hand, she had a good relationship with those scientists; on the other hand, the knowledge of university students was not difficult for her to learn, and she could understand it after glancing at it a few times.

That's why Elysia echoed Liu Bai's answer; even if Bronya really tested her, she wasn't afraid.

"University?"

Bronya nodded and made a few notes on the paper.

"Miss Elysia, may I ask which university you graduated from and what your major was?"

"Huh...?"

Has Liu Bai been asked these questions just now?

Bronya ignored Elysia's surprised voice and continued to ask, "Did you receive any school awards during your time at school?"

"This..." Elysia had already vaguely realized that something was wrong.

"What events did you host during your time at school?"

"As for hosting, that's fine..." Elysia's lips twitched.

Without waiting for Elysia's reply, Bronya continued to bombard her with questions, "How many papers did you publish during your university years? And how many of them were related to games?"

"..."

"Miss Elysia, are you daydreaming?"

Bronya looked at Elysia and said calmly.

"..."

Elysia was already itching to take out her bow and arrows...

"Um... Ms. Bronya, aren't these a bit too many questions?"

"Is it a lot?"

Bronya responded with a question.

"Aren't these the questions that should be asked?"

Then why don't you ask Liu Bai these questions yourself!

Elysia's face fell.

She knew that no one close to Liu Bai possibly not give him preferential treatment in his dreams.

And she, the super pretty girl next to Liu Bai, will definitely be targeted because of this...

"Miss Elysia, didn't you hear me? If you didn't hear me, I can ask again."

"... No, I understood perfectly."

Fortunately, Elysia is never short of experience in being scolded - every time she hangs around in front of Mobius, she gets scolded by Mobius and kicked out, okay?

However, on the other hand, she ended up having a pretty good relationship with Mobius because of this—though it wasn't obvious on the surface.

So although she felt targeted, to be honest, this was less of a blow to Elysia than the loss of her breasts.

She was really unhappy when her breasts disappeared.

"My alma mater is the 'Beautiful Girls Department' at Moth Chasers to Fire University!"

"...ha?"

Bronya frowned again.

Does such a university exist?

"Of course! Liu Bai also graduated from the University of the Moth Chasers to Fire ~~"

"Ah... that's how it is."

Liu Bai glanced at Elysia, who had become lively again, and nodded helplessly.

"Hmm... well, it seems I'm just ignorant."

Bronya glanced at Liu Bai and nodded with a reluctant expression.

(I knew Liu Bai was a high priority in these girls' dreams...)
