Holding her chopsticks, Lin Wang Er stared at me with a look of disdain and asked, “Really?”
“Everything is for the future of the studio…” I spoke righteously.
“You tool…”
“…”
……
Quickly finishing my meal, I sent a grumpy Lin Wan Er upstairs. Then I ran from the campus to the studio. Finally, we had found some new blood. If she was both adorable and pleasing to the eyes, then we would keep her, regardless of her gaming ability. Good men shouldn’t be picky eaters.
Since I sprinted the whole way to the studio, I was panting like a dog when I pushed open the door.
“Huaa!”
Entering with the wind, I saw Wolf quietly sitting in the studio’s parlor. Sitting in front of him was a girl wearing a milk-white dress suit, a matching beige skirt, a head of long hair, and a graceful disposition. Was this the cute girl that Song Han was talking about?
Since her back was facing me, neither of us could see each others face. When Wolf saw me, he immediately stood: “Our studio’s boss is back!”
“Ah?”
The girl exclaimed in surprise and slowly turned around to face me. All of a sudden, a pretty face which possessed an ethereal beauty was in front of me. With one glance, I had already thought up her scores. A 10/10 face, 9/10 grace, 9/10 figure and what looked to be a 34C, which was quite fitting for her stature. Her gorgeous eyes were luminous and clear, as if dust had never fallen upon them, and sparkled as she looked up at me, part surprised, part excited.
“You…You’re the Xiao Yao Zi Zai of Ba Huang City?”
Strangely enough, I became quite nervous. Although I had been around Lin Wan Er, who was a beauty herself, this is still the first time I was meeting this girl. Her rating definitely wouldn’t be too far from Lin Wan Er’s. Deep down inside I was thanking the heavens above. I didn’t know why the gods gave our Zhan Long Studio this kind of luck, but to have this adorable girl work here? We would absolutely keep her…
Sitting a short distance away, Wolf was about to start drooling at the sight of her. Even Fox, who was normally strong willed, kept sneaking glimpses while computing the studio’s accounts.
“You’re…Xiao Yao Zi Zai?” She asked once more.
I walked up and held out my hand with smile: “My name is Li Xiao Yao and my ID in Destiny is Xiao Yao Zi Zai. Hello!”
The girl smiled back, reaching out to give me a handshake. Her hand was soft. “Hello…I’m Xue Rou…My Destiny ID is Strawberry Matcha, and, erm, right now I am a Lv 27 Wind Elf Swordsman…”
Nodding my head, I looked at her and said, “Hey, have you looked at our studio’s hiring requirements?”
“Yeah, I understood about 40% of it.” She nodded her head in affirmation.
I laughed as I pointed at a chair: “Why don’t we sit down to chat?”
“Ah, okay. Thank you…”
Looking at her slowly and carefully sitting down, with a cautious grace, I couldn’t help but praise her. What a great girl, why was she applying to work here at Zhan Long Studio? What has the world become…
“Alright, let’s talk…” I contemplated for a moment and then spoke, “What do you hope to gain from our Zhan Long Studio, Matcha, and what do you think you can offer this studio?”
Looking at me with a pair of big eyes, Matcha looked both silly and adorable. A small blush appeared on her cheeks as she said: “I came for the 3000RMB starting pay. My only request is that the studio can pay me on time each month. As for what I can offer to the studio…erm, I can cook, do laundry, and clean. My in-game level isn’t high, but I will try very hard to improve that…”
will try very hard to improve that…”
Looking at her, it was clear to me that she lacked confidence in her gaming abilities, but I laughed and asked: “What is your own understanding of a Wind Elf Swordsmen?”
Matcha was stunned for a second, her long lashes blinked together a few times before she said, “Wind Elves can fly; if it is possible to group together more than 10 Wind Elf Swordsmen, Mages, Healers and so on, it would be possible to cover greater distances and fly over large obstacles to quickly attack. In a battle, Wind Elves are a highly mobile force. They may even be comparable to the mounted Knights that appear later in the game. Even though early on they may be hard pressed by Mages and Archers, later in the game, they will definitely be the main attacking force.”
I could not help but nod in admiration, “Hm … not bad. So Matcha …have you PK’ed before in game? And what is your win rate?”
Matcha’s face blushed furiously once more, “On record, I’ve only PK’ed 7 times. My win rate is 0 kills to 7 deaths … My control isn’t that great; I can never find north and I’m really bad at dodging…”
Wolf Totem became green-faced, “Brother Xiao Yao…This?”
I nodded and laughed, “It’s alright. People can be trained to learn game mechanics. Matcha is very knowledgeable in tactics, and …Matcha, how old are you now?”
“23 years old…”
“Uh…”
