Chapter 49: Who Is Supposed to Last for Five Minutes?
Qin Guan was puzzled. ‘What? Was this man a programr before he changed jobs to beco a flyer distributor? Is he around thirty years old?’
Qin Guan looked at the flyer in his hand. “Sir, I’m here to join Chenxing Esports Club. You don’t have to give any flyers.” He then looked at the flyer in his hand. “And, um… this is a flyer about swimming and staying fit. Did you get the wrong flyer?”
“Really? Oh, I’m sorry. I have too many flyers in my hand, so I gave you the wrong one.”
The man flipped through the vast number of flyers in his hand as if he was looking for the flyer for Chenxing Esports Club.
Qin Guan gave him a flat stare. The man truly had a lot of flyers, and among them were so for swimming, so for restaurant openings, so for building openings, and even a few for high-class clubs…
Qin Guan had to admit that he actually wanted to read them…
He was a little perplexed though. “Sir, you have so many flyers. Which company do you work for?”
The man laughed. “My main job is a concierge for Chenxing Esports Club, and my side job is a flyer distributor. I do this to earn so extra money. Oh well, since you’ve co for Chenxing Esports Club, I won’t give you any flyers. Go on in.
“By the way, the person on duty as concierge right now is Young Zhang, just tell him that Mister Ke sent you!”
“… Is your na so useful?”
‘You’re rather suited for the job, but the problem is, your surna is not Qin [1]!’
Qin Guan walked inside and turned his head around to look at Mister Ke. He sighed when he saw that the man had to distribute flyers despite the scorching sun.
‘He has to do such a thing even when he’s at such an age. Life is so harsh on him… Hang on a second, didn’t he say that he’s a concierge? He’s working two jobs at once? Does he distribute flyers in the morning and watch over the club at night?
‘His life is simply too difficult! If I have a chance, I’ll try to give him so money to help relieve so of his burden when my salary is given to …’
While Qin Guan thought about this, he saw an employee of the club run toward him. “Mister Ke, I was just looking for you. I have so personal matters to attend to, but my car is under driving restriction today [2]. May I use your car for the ti being?”
Mister Ke fished out his car keys from his pocket. “Sure, take it and use it. Just don’t run into any accidents with my car.”
“Alright, thanks!” The employee took the car keys and ran to the underground garage.
Qin Guan was speechless.
‘And here I was thinking that he has a harsh life, but the one who has a harsh life is ! He already has a house and a car…’
Qin Guan was very shocked…
While he walked inside, he observed the place. The building of the club very stylish decorations, making it obvious that it did not lack money.
There were plenty of gas in different genres in the market, and since there was still no ga that held the title of Ga of Gas, the large clubs had a lot of divisions.
Each division had a large number of players, coaches, leaders, and logistics officers. There were also studios and guilds that trained characters in massively multiplayer online role-playing gas (MMORPG) before they sold them to others. If the building was small, it would definitely be unable to accomodate so many people.
Now, the clubs had basically turned into places for Transcended Gars to stay. The gaming divisions had all been dissolved.
Of course, most of the professional gars had turned into Transcended Gars. Since they still felt connected to the clubs, they stayed in them and beca their core mbers.
Once Qin Guan walked into the building, a middle-aged man dressed in a suit led him to the reception room in a very hospitable manner.
“Hello, my surna is Liu, and I am one of the leaders of Chenxing Esports Club. We spoke through the phone earlier, but I will still need to verify your status as a Transcended Gar. May I request for proof?”
Leader Liu’s attitude was quite nice, so Qin Guan switched into the useless person for him to take a look.
“Oh, it’s another useless person, huh? Oh, well.” Leader Liu hesitated for a mont before he asked, “When did you switch into the useless person, and how long is your CD (Cooldown)?”
“Huh? CD?”
Qin Guan had a flabbergasted expression. ‘As expected of a leader of an esports club, I guess? When he speaks, his speech is chock full of gaming terms. But there’s a problem, what’s with that “Oh, well” just now? Are you looking down on the useless people?’
Leader Liu looked a little bit embarrassed. “Please do not mind . Recently, many Transcended Gars have co to join our club, and most of them use the useless person character. But this is where things turn strange. These people’s attributes are simply too bad, and few of them can pass our tests.
“Once I noticed this, I asked them about what happened, and I learned that all of them had imitated the pro ranked at first place and changed their characters. But in the end, they beca such noobs that the results are just tragic…
“So forgive for speaking out of turn, but I would like to know when you changed to this character. Can you still clear dium Mode now?”
‘Okay, so I ended up duping these people, huh?’
Qin Guan coughed a little to mask his guilt. “Um, I started the ga using the useless person character, so I never changed. I don’t quite know on what areas you’ll be testing , but I think I shouldn’t have too much problems with it.”
Leader Liu was a little puzzled over Qin Guan’s reaction, but he still nodded. “Alright. Then please co with .”
Qin Guan walked deeper into the building with Leader Liu. They soon arrived in an indoor arena.
It was very huge, but Qin Guan could vaguely tell that this place had been recently renovated into an indoor arena. He could not tell, however, what purpose it had previously served.
There were quite a lot of people in the indoor arena. Transcended Gars fought against each other in pairs of twos and threes. There were so even practicing their sword-fighting skills with wooden swords.
Qin Guan looked around. He did not find any special monitors.
“Where will I receive my test?” Qin Guan asked.
“Over there.” Leader Liu summoned a strong man who was nearly 6.2 feet tall to their side. “Little Li, co over here.”
Qin Guan had an unamused look on his face. ‘This “Little” Li is not little at all, you know…’
Leader Liu introduced him. “This is Li Junwei. He is a mber of our official combat force. In a mont, you two will fight each other with wooden swords. Last for five minutes, and you pass.”
Qin Guan felt that the rules were not very clear. “Are you asking him to last for five minutes, or am I supposed to be the one lasting for five minutes?”
Li Junwei laughed, “Bro, you’re a funny one. Co, catch.”
Qin Guan reached out and caught the wooden sword Li Junwei had tossed to him. He found that the wooden sword was basically the sa length as the weapons in the trial, making it clear that the Transcended Gars usually switched to using these wooden swords when they sparred against each other because they were worried that sothing would happen to the weapons they obtained from their trials.
Qin Guan looked at the wooden sword in his hands. “Do you have sothing shorter?”
Li Junwei did not quite understand what Qin Guan ant. “Shorter? No. These are all made with uniform specifications.”
“Oh, okay then.” Qin Guan asked, “These wooden swords don’t cost much, right? I don’t need to compensate if I break it, right?”
Li Junwei laughed, “No. There are plenty of wooden swords around.”
“Alright. Now I’m not worried any longer.”
Qin Guan switched to the useless person character and ramd the wooden sword against his knee. A sharp crack was heard, and the wooden sword was broken…
Li Junwei was a little taken aback. ‘What does he an by doing this? Is he testing his strength before we fight? Or is he trying to put on a demonstration of power?’
Qin Guan waved his hand a little. He felt that the length of the broken length in his sword was about the sa as his fruit knife.
“I’m ready. Let’s begin.”
Note:
[1]The joke is that if the man’s job (concierge) allows him to do whatever he wants, then he might as well be an emperor, since then he’ll have even more room to do whatever he wants. (The Qin ntioned by Qin Guan is Emperor Qin Shi Huang who was known as a tyrant that didn’t have to think twice about any of his actions since the whole court feared him.)
