Su Xi was puzzled.
What is this T1 Club? Why are they suddenly inviting her to join their team?
After watching for a while, Su Xi finally understood what had happened.
This T1 Club is a traditional competitive world championship club. Now they've heard that Meta World offline tournament is going to be held overseas, so they plan to recruit the strongest player in the China region, namely Su Xi.
It's clear that T1 Club saw the Chinese boycott of the game and therefore believed that [Su] would agree to their demands in order to appear in world competitions.
"An annual salary of only ten million? President Cai is willing to give me ten million every month." Su Xi shook her head, ignoring this information.
The main issue is the offline tournament in the Meta World. Su Xi had never heard of this thing in her previous life and didn't even know how it came about.
I was eating breakfast while browsing information.
When I had eaten half of it.
The phone rang.
The phone screen suddenly went dark, and then two white characters appeared: Li Gou.
Li Zhinian? What do you want with me?
Su Xi frowned, thinking that something had happened to her former colleague, and chose to answer the phone.
"Hello?"
"Director Su?" Hearing the soft, sweet voice on the other end of the phone, Li Zhinian perked up.
"What, Director Su?"
"Ahem, it's like this. After Director Su left these past few days, I felt deeply inadequate in my abilities, so I hoped that Director Su could return to our office. I have already applied to the higher-ups, and this time you will be the director of the office. I will be your subordinate and learn from you."
Li Zhinian was rambling on on the other end of the phone, and Su Xi became more and more confused as she listened.
"No, Li Zhinian, what are you talking about? I've already signed the resignation contract, and now you want me to come back? That's just too much!"
Damn it, are they trying to break my seniority record?
Su Xi thought to herself with a hint of resentment.
However, upon hearing the girl's curses, Li Zhinian was not angry at all. Instead, he said with satisfaction, "Director Su, I was blind to your greatness before. Now I know I was wrong, so I'm raising your salary. How about 50,000 a month?"
"Get lost! A good horse doesn't eat the grass it's already grazed!"
Su Xi hung up the phone in annoyance and then called Nan Shuang.
Good morning, senior.
A slightly groggy voice came from the phone; the person speaking seemed to be still in bed.
That's normal. It's only 9 a. m. now. The working hours for internet companies are usually from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m., and then they force employees to work overtime until 10 p. m.
"Xiaoshuang, has anything happened in the office lately?"
"Hmm? I don't think so... Why would you ask that, senior?"
"It's good that you're alright. I thought something had happened to you again." Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Senior, have you heard any news?"
"No, that dog Li Zhinian called me early this morning, saying he can't handle things in the office and wants me to come back, even offering to make me the director..."
"Pfft, haha..."
A clear laugh came from the other end of the phone.
"Senior, I think I know why."
Su Xi asked, "What's the reason?"
"It was about two days ago. Brother Xiong went to submit the documents for the equipment malfunction, intending to have Li Zhinian sign off on the replacement. But before he even opened the office door, Brother Xiong heard Li Zhinian inside shouting with great regret: 'Ah, such a cute girl, and I actually fired her? No wonder you're single, Li Zhinian!'"
"I bet the 'cute girl' Li Zhinian was referring to was his senior classmate~"
Nan Shuang's tone was no longer sleepy; instead, it was full of teasing.
"Huh? Really? Brother Xiong, you didn't hear me wrong, did you?"
"Brother Xiong may be bald, but he's not deaf, haha."
"No way, is Li Zhinian crazy? He's only 28 years old, and he's actually lusting after me, a 35-year-old woman?"
Su Xi was shocked. No matter what, although she did look young, she was definitely 35 years old. How could a young cow want to eat old grass?
"Oh my, senior seems a bit insecure about her charm~"
"???"
"But Li Zhinian is willing to give you the position of director, so will you come back, senior? We all miss you."
Su Xi rolled her eyes. "I'm not going back. I don't know how comfortable it is to not have to live like a beast of burden. I feel like my lifespan is increasing every day."
"Okay, then senior, you can come to the company when you have time. Maybe you can turn Li Zhinian into your lapdog."
"Forget it, I don't want to get involved with men."
"Hmm? Senior, coming out first thing in the morning, isn't that a bit inappropriate, hehe." Nan Shuang's teasing voice came again.
This junior student no longer respects me as much as before; instead, she acts more like a friend who jokes around casually.
"But, senior, what will happen to Su Yu if you don't go to work now? She'll have a lot of expenses in the future."
"Don't worry about me, I've made quite a bit of money from the Meta World now."
After thinking for a moment, Nan Shuang said, "Meta World... I've heard some of my colleagues at the company talking about it during breaks. Is this game fun?"
"It's not a question of whether it's fun or not..."
Instead, I have to play.
"Nan Shuang, why don't you buy a virtual reality device to play the game? I feel like this game is not simple."
Su Xi offered her advice with seemingly plausible but ultimately unfounded words.
"Okay, I'll try. I'm getting ready for work now. Let's talk next time, senior."
"You should tell Brother Xiong and the others what I said."
"Okay, sure."
Su Xi hung up the phone, her words lingering in her throat.
After their fates were altered, the resulting changes are subtly impacting the world.
At least, Su Xi never expected that Li Zhinian would actually try to seduce her; it was simply unbelievable.
This guy's family is so rich, why would he even look at me? To put it bluntly, if he were willing to throw money at me, plenty of young and beautiful girls would throw themselves at him.
"Xiao Yu, call me if anything happens. Auntie has to go back to the game to make money."
Su Yu glanced at the dictionary without looking up and said, "Oh~"
Back to the game.
They reappeared in the central square of the town.
The Skeleton Archmage had vanished from the haphazardly piled wooden planks, and because of the mini-boss's disappearance, the wandering skeletons were gradually moving towards the center.
"Clatter!" "Clatter!" "Clatter!"...
The bones struck the ground, producing a crisp sound that grew louder as it approached.
Su Xi activated her talent, transforming into Tokisaki Kurumi, and raised the Time Gun to her temple.
"The Third Bullet!"
Basic attributes instantly increased by 50%.
Bang, bang, bang...
A minute later, the skeletons that were wandering around were all killed.
Kurumi picked up the Silver Coin from the ground and went up to the high platform.
The items on the ground are the loot dropped by the [Skeleton Archmage].
Ten shiny Gold Coin, a small pile of Silver Coin, some common equipment, and a rare skill book, [Skeleton Summon].
These items are mostly useless. Ordinary items can be sold directly to the auction house, and if no players want them, they can only be sold to NPCs at the lowest price.
This rare skill book, however, should sell for around a thousand Gold Coin.
Let's leave it for now. We'll sell it to the God of War Guild after the mission is completed.
