Talent

"Transfer me to the new department?"

In the director's office, Chen Xu had thought Old Wang was going to reprimand him, but he didn't expect him to say he was transferring him to the newly established Marketing Department.

Old Wang had a square face with a mole on his left cheekbone, making him quite distinctive. "Don't underestimate this new department. The executives are paying close attention to it. You're lucky to be transferred there, and it's also an opportunity for you."

"But..."

Chen Xu was already planning to resign, so naturally, he wasn't going to accept.

"No buts." Old Wang interrupted him, saying softly, "This newly established Marketing Department is personally managed by Vice President Liu, and the staff are drawn from various departments. I heard from Old He in the Personnel Department that those transferred to the new department will get a pay raise, at least twenty percent."

When he got to the last point, there was obvious envy on his face.

Chen Xu immediately swallowed the words of refusal he was about to say.

If he could get a raise by transferring, it might be worth considering. Thinking this, he said, "Give me a day to think about it."

"Alright, Old He will be talking to you personally tomorrow anyway." After Old Wang finished speaking, he told him to go back to work.

"Are you okay?"

Chen Xu had just returned to his seat when Old Tang turned his head and asked.

He shook his head to indicate he was fine, habitually picking up a pen and doodling on paper. His current salary, after taxes, was just over four thousand. Even with a twenty percent increase, it wouldn't reach five thousand.

Not a lot, but not a little either.

In the past, he felt lucky to have gotten into a big company with his education, and he could accept even a lower salary, just enduring it.

However, this little salary wasn't enough in this big city. He also had to send money home every month, making his life even more difficult.

After nearly two years of enduring, his salary had only increased a little, and he really couldn't take it anymore. This was the fundamental reason for his resignation, and Luo Xiyun was just an opportunity.

"Talk to Director He tomorrow and see if you can negotiate for a higher salary."

He quickly made a decision in his heart.

These days, he had gradually recalled many details from the Dream Realm. This had brought about some subtle changes in him. At least, he wasn't as afraid of changing jobs as before, and he had the confidence to negotiate with the head of the Personnel Department.

In the past, he had too many concerns, not confident enough in his abilities, worried that after losing his job, he would have no source of income, his survival would become a problem, and his family would also be in trouble.

Now, after experiencing a life where he was the only person left in the entire world, what did he have to fear?

Just that experience in the Dream Realm was an invaluable treasure to him.

Thinking of this, he tore off the paper he had been doodling on, crumpled it into a ball, and without looking, casually threw it towards the wastebasket.

After throwing it, he turned his head and watched the paper ball steadily fly into the wastebasket.

"Huh?"

He was a little surprised.

When he was thinking about things, he always had the habit of scribbling on paper, and every time he finished writing, he would throw it away.

However, his accuracy wasn't high, and he often missed. Then, he would have to go and pick up the paper and throw it back into the wastebasket. Even so, he still enjoyed it. It was also a way for him to relieve stress.

These days, his luck had been particularly good, and he had been hitting the target every time, until just now, which made him feel that this couldn't be done with just good luck.

"Could it be..."

He remembered the Talent Card he had received at the end of the Dream Realm, the name of which was "Throwing Precision".

Could it be that this Talent Card wasn't only effective in the Dream Realm?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but swallow.

"Try again."

He tore off another piece of paper, crumpled it into a ball. Then, with his back to the wastebasket, he threw it out based on feeling.

Turning his head, he saw the paper ball fly in an arc, accurately landing in the wastebasket.

His heart also trembled, knowing that his guess was likely true.

"Is my golden finger finally online?"

For a time, he was overjoyed.

Then, any thoughts of being transferred to a new department or finding a new job were thrown to the back of his mind. He was single-mindedly thinking about the extent to which this talent he had obtained from the Dream Realm could be used.

Unfortunately, he was at the company, and it was during work hours. He could only wait patiently.

He finally waited until he got off work, and Chen Xu returned home as quickly as possible to begin his experiment.

From the name of this talent, one could tell that it was related to throwing.

He found several items of varying weights and sizes, including an unopened 1.5L bottle of mineral water, an empty cigarette box, a packaged bag of potato chips, and a book.

Then, he placed a bucket against the wall, retreated to the outside of the balcony, and first tried the heaviest item, the mineral water.

Bang.

The mineral water fell to the ground, missing the target.

"No way..."

This inauspicious start made him frown. He went over to pick up the mineral water, retreated to the outside of the balcony, and tried again.

Bang.

This time, the mineral water landed accurately in the bucket.

"Let's try again."

He picked up the mineral water again and threw it out for the third time, and it hit again.

Hitting the target twice in a row, he felt it wasn't enough.

Before throwing it for the fourth time, he closed his eyes and then threw it.

Bang, the water bottle flew into the bucket accurately.

"Looks like it's for real. The Talent Card obtained in the Dream Realm can also work in reality."

This result made him tremble with excitement.

Before entering the Dream Realm, he thought the Virtual Dream Device could only satisfy some YY fantasies.

After entering the Dream Realm for the first time, his thoughts changed. In the Dream Realm, he could have experiences that others couldn't imagine, increasing his life experience.

Now, he realized that he was wrong, completely wrong.

The talent obtained in the Dream Realm could actually appear on his real body. The value of this Virtual Dream Device was much higher than he had imagined.

This meant that the skills he learned in the Dream Realm could also be mastered in reality.

Unfortunately, what he practiced the most in the last Dream Realm was marksmanship. In reality, it wasn't easy to get his hands on a gun, so he couldn't verify this point for the time being.

Of course, even if his guess was wrong, just getting a few more Talent Cards would be awesome enough.

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to start his second Dream Realm.

"Three more weeks, it's so hard to wait."

He sighed, and quickly shifted his attention, trying to throw the other items.

He was like a child who had gotten a new toy, playing with it tirelessly. In addition to the items he had prepared at the beginning, he threw everything in the room that could be thrown.

Soon, he discovered the pattern. Every time he changed an item, he would often miss the target in the first one or two attempts.

But he could always quickly find his aim, and by the third time, he wouldn't miss.

This also made him understand that what he had obtained was just a talent, and he needed to practice to master it perfectly.
