Chapter 5

Seeing Bu Fan's virtual pen moving continuously on the test paper, as if he were painting a grand picture with the elegance of a dragon's movement, Xia Xiaoxue and Xue Meier, who were responsible for the assessment, couldn't help but exchange a glance, a look of surprise flashing in their eyes.

After all, this was not the era before the Dark Millennium. The hundred years of slaughter and warfare during the Dark Millennium had destroyed the brilliant human civilization.

Even at the beginning of the Dark Millennium, to resist the endless hordes of zombies, the remaining human government used powerful nuclear weapons without hesitation, destroying countless zombies and cities.

Furthermore, the subsequent rampant zombies and mutated beasts completely destroyed the remaining cities, and the changes in the environment caused plants to grow wildly, turning the cities back into lush forests.

Therefore, in the modern era three hundred years later, only a fraction of human cultural heritage remained, and even the surviving cultural texts were often incomplete.

Bu Fan did not know that the simple questions in his eyes had caused Xia Xiaoxue and Xue Meier such great shock.

"Uh, oh no!" While answering the questions, Bu Fan inadvertently glanced at Xia Xiaoxue and Xue Meier, and was startled by their expressions. The cultural memories of this era immediately surfaced in his mind, making him inwardly groan.

In a moment of pride, he couldn't help but write the answers on the test paper with the elegance of a dragon's movement, even providing multiple answers for many vague and incomplete questions to show off his extensive knowledge.

Now it seemed that his cleverness was about to backfire!

Unfortunately, this was not a real paper and ink test, and he had no chance to make corrections. The questions he had already answered could not be changed.

Fortunately, after realizing this, Bu Fan began to answer the remaining questions carefully, even using only superficial descriptions for some questions, only answering the essential points.

"Hmm? Why did this kid suddenly slow down? Could it be that he can't answer the remaining questions? But it's also possible. The last few questions were taken from the cultural archives of the Federation. Given his status, it's impossible for him to have seen those cultural texts. It's only natural that he can't answer them!" Seeing Bu Fan's actions suddenly slow down, Xue Meier's eyes first showed a look of surprise, her brows furrowed, and then she seemed to think of something, her frown slowly easing.

"Done!" After "exerting great effort" to complete the entire test, Bu Fan gently pushed the test paper over.

Seeing that Bu Fan had finally finished, Xia Xiaoxue immediately took the test paper and began to check the answers.

This was no small feat. The answers to the first few questions were densely written, and many were accompanied by additional answers, causing Xia Xiaoxue's brows to furrow.

"Bu Fan, what kind of answers are these? There are so many, and some don't even exist! Like the gender of the top expert in 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer'! You answered 'neither male nor female.' What does that mean? Dongfang Bubai is clearly female!" Xia Xiaoxue angrily pointed at some of the questions on the test paper and shouted at Bu Fan.

Bu Fan was slightly taken aback. Dongfang Bubai is female? What the hell, when did Dongfang Bubai become female? He shouted inwardly.

No, there is a female version of Dongfang Bubai, which was a parody by "Yu Mama." Could it be that this little girl saw the "Yu Mama" version of 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer'?

While Bu Fan was pondering Xia Xiaoxue's words, Xue Meier was also thinking about Bu Fan's answers.

"How does he know that Dongfang Bubai is a man who has undergone a sex change? Could he have seen the original version of 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer'?" Xue Meier looked at Bu Fan's youthful face and wondered curiously.

After all, the original version of 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' is a precious cultural text, sealed in the Federation Museum. Without a certain level of authority, it is impossible to view these precious originals.

"Bu Fan, how do you know that Dongfang Bubai is neither male nor female?" Xue Meier suddenly asked Bu Fan.

"Oh, I just happened to hear it. Once, while aimlessly browsing the internet, I accidentally saw an adventurer telling stories, including the story of Dongfang Bubai, and I just remembered it!" Bu Fan had already prepared an excuse and calmly answered.

"Uh!" Xue Meier nodded lightly, but the doubts in her mind did not dissipate. This kid is clearly making up an excuse, but if he doesn't want to say, Xue Meier wasn't in a hurry. There would be time to get it out of him later.

"Alright, Xiaoxue, stop nitpicking. Bu Fan's assessment score is already enough to pass our recruitment. However, I want to ask, Mr. Bu Fan, do you really have no objections to our treatment? Our monthly base salary is only 300 credit points!" Xue Meier stopped Xia Xiaoxue, who wanted to continue causing trouble for Bu Fan, and asked him seriously.

"No objections. I think, Miss Xue, after verifying my identity information, you will know that 300 credit points per month is a huge asset to me!" Bu Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Since that's the case, please give me your identity code, Mr. Bu Fan. We can now verify your identity and establish a cooperation contract!" Xue Meier extended her white hand and smiled at Bu Fan.

"Uh, so I'm hired?" Perhaps feeling that success came too suddenly, Bu Fan had a sense of unreality.

"Can I ask what my job will be?" Bu Fan couldn't help but ask the two beautiful women in front of him, his curiosity getting the better of him.

"Don't worry, we won't make you do anything dangerous. It's just playing a game!" Xia Xiaoxue rolled her eyes at Bu Fan's question, looking as if she didn't like him.

Although Bu Fan also disliked Xia Xiaoxue's inexplicable targeting, the current situation left him no choice but to pretend he didn't see it.

Hearing Xia Xiaoxue's words, Xue Meier shook her head helplessly, then smiled at Bu Fan and said softly, "Mr. Bu Fan, what I'm about to tell you is a secret of the Eighth Base City. Please keep it confidential!"

A smile that could charm a city!

Xue Meier's smile made Bu Fan's mind flash with this phrase, but he quickly composed himself, shrugged, and said, "Of course, I don't want to lose my job!"

"Xiaoxue is right. We hired Mr. Bu Fan to play a game!" Xue Meier slowly explained the situation.

It turned out that the human Federation government had recently developed a new virtual online game called "Evolution." "Evolution" is divided into two worlds: "The Jianghu," based on ancient Eastern martial arts culture, and "The Sanctuary," based on ancient Western magical culture. Xia Xiaoxue and her team were going to play "The Jianghu," which is based on ancient Eastern culture!

"Due to the constraints of reality, the game has not been widely promoted. Therefore, the game's information is currently only known within a small circle, and only the major forces in the base cities are aware of this. We hope that Mr. Bu Fan can keep it confidential for now to avoid causing a disturbance!" Xue Meier finally said to Bu Fan.

"Understood, Miss Xue, please rest assured. I will not spread the word!" Bu Fan nodded and said solemnly.

"Hehe, no need to be so formal. Once you join the studio, we will be teammates. You can call me Meier!" Xue Meier smiled at Bu Fan and then sent him the studio's address. "Come to our studio's address later!"

"Thank you, Meier! I know! I'll be there soon!" Bu Fan said gratefully. He could tell that the stunning woman in front of him had a gentle personality and was somewhat considerate.

"Hmph, flatterer!" Xia Xiaoxue muttered unhappily on the side.

"Alright, we'll wait for you at the studio. Hurry over. See you later!" Xue Meier smiled at Bu Fan.

Bu Fan nodded gratefully, then turned and walked out, preparing to go back and pack his things to head to his new workplace.
