It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from ".

Gao Yang closed his eyes.

[Enter system]

[You have gained 61 Lucky Points]

The number of points is similar to what Gao Yang expected. In 2 days and 48 hours, he earned 48 points. When he was attacked by Chubby Jun, the earnings doubled, increasing by more than ten points.

- I want to draw a Talent.

[Comprehending a new Talent requires spending 30 Lucky Points. Are you sure?]

- Yes!

[Comprehending...]

[Comprehending...]

[Comprehension failed]

- Damn it! Isn't this too difficult?

[Recomprehend, requires 30 Lucky Points]

- Scamr! Forget it, I have 31 Lucky Points left. Let's increase my Luck.

- I'm about to have an interview. Being a bit stronger is better.

[Successful point increase, Luck reaches 132]

[Congratulations! You have gained an additional 20 permanent flexible attribute points, which can be freely allocated]

- Then increase my Luck again.

[No nesting allowed]

- Fine, let think. Increase my Charisma.

[Increase 20 Charisma points, are you sure?]

- Yes, only 20 points. Increasing other attribute values probably won't significantly improve. It's better to improve my impression points.

[Physical Strength: 27 Endurance: 28]

[Strength: 17 Agility: 27]

[Spirit: 37 Charisma: 39]

[Luck: 132]

[Access finished, system hidden]

[Bi...]

Gao Yang opened his eyes and turned to Qing Ling, asking, "Is there anything different about my face?"

Qing Ling glanced lightly and said, "Nothing different."

Gao Yang was not convinced, "Take a closer look. There should be differences. Like, more spirited eyes, sharper edges, smoother skin..."

"Thicker skin." Qing Ling said.

This woman has no sense of aesthetics. Forget it, I won't argue with her.

Gao Yang took a deep breath, adjusted his collar, and walked into the arcade.

In front of him was a small storefront of about 20 square ters, with two rows of old-fashioned arcade machines placed against the wall. The arcade screens played colorful promotional animations back and forth. The dim space was rendered with a layer of retro camouflage fluorescent color. The ceiling fan turned slowly, occasionally making creaking sounds.

A young man sat in the corner of the room, playing gas attentively.

Gao Yang and Qing Ling exchanged glances. Gao Yang took a step forward and said, "Hello, we are here for an interview."

The other party ignored him but also didn't show any hostility.

Gao Yang approached and saw that the other party was playing "Three Kingdoms Chronicles" and chose the character Zhuge Liang. He held an ice sword and was exploiting a bug to freeze the final boss, Cao Cao, indefinitely.

Damn it, young people have no sense of sportsmanship.

The young man playing the ga looked a bit thin. He was wearing a leather jacket and leather pants, covered in rivets. He shaved off both sides of his hair and left a high tuft in the middle, dyed bright yellow, a standard broom head.

He had tattoos on his chest, back of the neck, and arms. The tattoo patterns were strange, but Gao Yang recognized one of them as a pig head shaped like a hairdryer.

"Ah..."

The boss Cao Cao in the arcade let out a scream, his health bar depleted, and the ga was cleared.

The young man remained seated, looked up at Gao Yang, and said, "Just you?"

Gao Yang felt a bit discouraged. After all, I just increased my Charisma by 20 points. Shouldn't I be given so respect?

"And ," Qing Ling spoke up.

The young man stuck his head out and saw Qing Ling behind Gao Yang. He imdiately beca spirited.

"Oh, there's a beauty!" He quickly stood up, pretending to fix his broom head in an exaggerated manner. "You two are here, right?"

"And ?"

Officer Huang walked in, lifting the blue cloth. "Sorry for being a bit late. Haven't started yet, right?"

"We just arrived," Gao Yang said.

Officer Huang was polite to the broom head. "Let introduce, this is our interviewer for tonight, Mr. Wu Dahai."

The broom head put his hands in his pockets, looking arrogant. "Just call Brother Hai."

"These two are my new acquaintances, Gao Yang and Qing Ling." Officer Huang finished speaking and smiled. "I lost the challenge last ti, so this ti I brought my companions to participate. Is that okay?"

"No problem, if you lose tonight, don't bother again this month." Wu Dahai's tone was arrogant.

"Okay."

"Let's begin." Qing Ling raised her hand, and a Tang Blade appeared in her hand.

"Damn, this weapon is sothing! It can even extend!" Wu Dahai's eyes lit up. "This thing isn't yours, right? Where did you get it?"

"Not your concern." Qing Ling took a fighting stance.

"Beauty is so arrogant!" Wu Dahai wasn't angry either. He lazily picked his ear. "Which one of you three will go first?"

"I'll go first," Officer Huang said.

"Alright, sa rules as before, three challenges!" Wu Dahai spread his arms. "You can choose, if you can win against three tis, you pass."

"What do we choose?" Qing Ling asked.

Officer Huang smiled, "I forgot to tell you, the interview content is arcade ga competition. Choose any three gas. If you can win against him, you pass. I've challenged him several tis and lost every ti. You are young people, you should be good at playing gas, so your chances of winning should be high."

"Huang Officer, when you say you're weak, are you referring to playing gas?" Gao Yang was a bit speechless.

"Yes."

Qing Ling frowned, not understanding. "Why not just chop this idiot?"

"Hahaha... chop ?" Wu Dahai laughed until he almost couldn't breathe. "Beauty, you know nothing about strength! I'm giving you a chance! Don't be shaless! If we really fight, don't even think about the three of you teaming up..."

Wu Dahai shouted, "You co one by one! I can't even beat one of you!"

Gao Yang was speechless. Is this what they call "using the most arrogant tone to say the most cowardly lines"?Wu Dahai was quite smug, "Hmph, I don't have a combat Talent, so I can't compete with you guys. But if you dare to harm a single hair on my head, there are plenty of big shots in the organization who will deal with you."

"Alright, alright, we're all Awakened Beings. We should prioritize harmony and avoid internal strife," Officer Huang quickly intervened, "I'll go first, I choose to play the plane ga."

Saying this, he sat down next to an arcade machine and inserted a coin. Wu Dahai also ca over and inserted a coin.

Gao Yang walked over and saw that it was KOF Striker 1945.

This ga was Gao Yang's childhood nightmare. He would die within a few minutes of inserting a coin, and he hated playing shooting gas the most.

Officer Huang and Wu Dahai each chose a fighter plane and entered the ga together.

"The usual rules, although we have three lives, the competition only allows one life. No dropping bombs, whoever dies first, loses."

"No problem."

The ga began.

The first level was relatively simple, with few enemy bullet attacks. Both of them easily passed the level and obtained the best firepower.

In the second level, the enemy's bullet attacks beca denser. They couldn't drop bombs to clear them and had to rely on normal attacks. The pressure increased sharply, and they dodged left and right, moving flexibly.

By the third level, both of them were clearly more excited.

Officer Huang, after all, had the Talent of Gun God, so playing this kind of shooting ga should also give him a bonus. He was calm and composed, his operation was steady, and his finger reactions were quick.

When encountering the third level BOSS battle, Officer Huang directly gave up attacking. His intention was clear: he hoped to eliminate Wu Dahai with the BOSS's bullet attacks.

Wu Dahai's operation was also very agile, but he was obviously a bit anxious, frantically attacking the BOSS while dodging bullet attacks.

Officer Huang controlled the joystick with one hand and lit a cigarette with the other, purely dodging bullets.

Gao Yang gave him full marks for his pretentiousness.

In the intense gunfire, Wu Dahai's plane was unfortunately shot down. Officer Huang no longer controlled his plane, and the plane in the ga was shot down the mont he let go - he lasted 1 second longer than Wu Dahai.

He stood up, "I concede."

"Hmph, you're only good at playing plane gas." Wu Dahai was a bit unconvinced, "Continue, continue."

"You two go for the next ga." Officer Huang said.

"Weren't you playing quite well?" Gao Yang said.

"No, I've challenged all of them." Officer Huang smiled bitterly, "Except for the plane ga, I was crushed in all the other gas."

"Who's next?" Wu Dahai asked.

Gao Yang and Qing Ling exchanged glances, and Qing Ling spoke calmly, "I'll go."
