Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Live Minesweeper Ga Demo Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Live Minesweeper Ga Demo It turned out that in Lin Qingyue’s expectation, Wu Mu would at most apply for so clerical or other entry-level positions in a small company.
Perhaps he could muddle through such jobs without a diploma purely on his ability to talk nonsense with a straight face.
But Wu Mu actually went straight to a ga company to apply for a job?
How was he going to bluff his way into a job that depended entirely on professional skills?
Lin Qingyue really couldn’t figure it out, so she couldn’t help but remind him, “Applying for a job at a ga company requires a high level of professional skills.”
Wu Mu looked at her strangely, “I know that.”
Then why are you here if you don’t have the right level of professional skills?
Lin Qingyue didn’t speak, but her look clearly conveyed her thoughts.
Wu Mu beca even more puzzled, “I do have the skills, don’t you know?”
Lin Qingyue shook her head honestly, “I didn’t know.”
Not only did she not know, but she hadn’t seen any evidence of it either; they only knew Wu Mu liked to play gas.
“Didn’t I ntion it a long ti ago? You should have seen it, right?”
Wu Mu simply pulled out his phone, “It’s written right there in my first Weibo post. Since you found to join the show through that post, you must have seen it.”
Lin Qingyue looked at Wu Mu’s phone and the Weibo post that read, “Looking for a job, skilled in singing… playing gas, making gas, writing code”, and was speechless.
She had actually seen that post.
“Wasn’t that a joke?”
Her expression was odd; she had never taken the content of that Weibo post seriously, assuming Wu Mu was just clowning around, so she had long since forgotten it.
“Who’s joking!”
Making gas, I am serious about that!
Wu Mu didn’t bother to answer Lin Qingyue anymore and headed straight into Mingyu Ga Company.
As luck would have it, he ran into an acquaintance right by the entrance.
It was Wei Chen.
Wei Chen, looking at Wu Mu and Lin Qingyue’s group, was stunned.
Why had the TV crew co to their company? He didn’t recall any scenes that needed to be fild there.
As he puzzled over this, Wu Mu went straight up to him, “I’m here to apply.”
Apply?
Wei Chen glanced at Lin Qingyue next to him and roughly understood Wu Mu’s purpose.
But applying at their company?
Wei Chen shook his head directly, “Our company doesn’t lack front desk and janitorial staff.”
Front desk and janitorial?
Lin Qingyue almost laughed out loud.
Such blatant underestimation.
She quickly signaled the photographer beside her to capture a close-up of Wu Mu’s expression.
It got tough, fists got tough!
Wu Mu looked unhappily at Wei Chen, “Who’s applying for front desk and janitorial? I’m here to apply for…”
He stopped mid-sentence, “It’s no use talking to you, you’re not high up enough. Let your boss co out.”
My level as the project director of the company isn’t high enough?
Wei Chen huffed coldly. If it were really just an ordinary jobseeker, he would’ve imdiately told the person to get lost.
But after all, the man was a big star, and the current show was for the purpose of promoting their ga.
So he just said coldly, “Wait a mont.”
Afterward, he went inside to look for their boss.
Soon after, a man in his forties, dressed in a suit and looking dapper, walked out.
“Hello, hello, I am Jiao Liang, the boss of Mingyu Ga. Are Mister Wu Mu and Director Lin here? Thank you very much for accepting our company’s invitation.”
He greeted Wu Mu and Lin Qingyue with enthusiasm.
Seeing the man in charge, Wu Mu finally got to the point, “I’m here to apply. I want to apply as your company’s lead ga designer.”
Ah.
Ah?
Lin Qingyue was already speechless. It wasn’t enough just to co to a ga company to apply, but to apply for a lead designer position too?
Wei Chen was stunned.
So, his level wasn’t enough after all; a lead designer would be well above him.
Jiao Liang, the boss with an enthusiastic face, also stiffened a bit. He looked at Wu Mu and then at Lin Qingyue, hesitantly saying, “Lead designer?”
As the client, they, of course, were aware of the show’s flow and knew Wu Mu was there looking for the next day’s job.
But lead designer…
He carefully said, “Using celebrity advantage to find a job seems like a violation of the rules, right?”
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Qingyue with an inquiring gaze.
Lin Qingyue nodded affirmatively, “That would indeed be a violation.”
Alright, alright, you all look down on others, don’t you?
Step back, it’s ti for to show off!
Wu Mu’s face was the picture of serenity, “Celebrity advantage? I don’t think I need any celebrity advantage in the gaming field, my skills are more than enough to be a lead designer.”
If it weren’t for the fact that applying for the boss wouldn’t fit the label of a corporate employee, he would have just applied for the boss role instead.
Jiao Liang and Wei Chen looked at each other, utterly at a loss.
After several seconds of silence, Jiao Liang asked hesitantly, “Is this… for the effect of the show? How should I play along?”
Wu Mu was slightly amused, “Just go along and show your genuine reactions.”
“Here’s the thing, my words alone are not proof, so let make a ga demo for you all right here.”
A ga demo on the spot?
Jiao Liang and Wei Chen looked at Wu Mu with undoubtedly odd expressions in their eyes.
Who didn’t know who you were, a middle-school dropout and a streaming star, making a ga demo?
Did you think you knew how to code?
And do you even understand the amount of work involved in a ga demo? Even a small ga demo would take at least a few days to create, right?
Wu Mu’s statent was filled with so many pitfalls that Jiao Liang and Wei Chen were even sowhat unsure of how to respond properly.
It felt impolite not to answer, but any additional response seed like an insult to their intelligence.
But Wu Mu was quite firm, “Just give a computer to try, and you will soon see whether I have level or not.”
Are you serious?
Jiao Liang looked at Wu Mu, then at Lin Qingyue, still wondering if this was all just for so show effect.
Although he looked down on Wu Mu’s abilities, he did recognize Wu Mu’s capacity for creating show effects.
After thinking it through, he led Wu Mu into the company, “Then co with .”
Once inside Mingyu Ga Company, the employees, who had already heard the commotion, craned their necks to look their way.
“Isn’t that Wu Mu? Damn, he’s really that handso in person.”
“How did he end up here at our company, didn’t Wei Chen say there were no shots of our company before?”
“I just heard a bit up close, seems like Wu Mu is here to apply for our head designer position and he wants to write a ga demo on the spot to prove himself.”
“What?”
The employees whispered among themselves.
Jiao Liang brought Wu Mu over to a computer.
Sitting in front of the computer, Wu Mu fell into thought.
As a forr ga company boss, he certainly knew the workload of a ga demo. If one were really to start from scratch, even a small ga couldn’t be completed in a short ti.
After all, one had to consider various gaplay chanics and how to implent them with code, as well as various textures and modeling, etc.
However, if he were simply to copy an existing one, it would be much faster.
He searched his mind for a small-scale ga that could be completed within an hour or two, yet was enough to demonstrate his skill and ability.
Soon, he had a target in mind.
A classic mine-clearing ga, Minesweeper, was the first choice for many entering the gaming industry in his previous life. He’d done many a replication as practice and was very familiar with how to write it.
Once he decided on a target, Wu Mu got to work.
Employees who’d been whispering nearby couldn’t hold back any longer, and the bolder ones ran over to watch.
After noticing that neither the boss nor the filming crew stopped them, others sward over in droves, eager to see how middle-school student Wu Mu would write a ga demo on the spot.
anwhile, Wu Mu had already started operating the computer and opened a text editor.
“Huh, Text Editor?”
Soone murmured in surprise.
This was a fairly basic text editor, known to pretty much everyone who learned programming.
But could Wu Mu, a middle-school dropout turned streaming star, know about this?
And what surprised them even more was yet to co.
After opening the text editor, Wu Mu’s fingers flew across the keyboard.
“import pyga, import random, import sys…”
“# Initialize pyga, pyga.init()…”
“# Set screen size and title…”
“SCREEN_WIDTH = 400…”
Ah.
Ah?
Python language?
Pyga library?
No way, what are you doing!?
You’re a middle-school dropout turned streaming star and you actually can code!?
Everyone was undoubtedly stunned, including Jiao Liang.
He was thinking Wu Mu would pull so stunt, but the guy actually started writing code?
Although these few lines of code did not give away the quality of Wu Mu’s ga demo,
it at least showed them that Wu Mu knew how to program, knew how to write code.
A middle-school dropout turned celebrity star who could code??
It was indeed far too outrageous!!!
The onlookers had their worldviews shattered.
Was being a celebrity already so competitive?
It wasn’t enough just to learn singing and dancing, but they also had to learn coding?
Jiao Liang and Wei Chen barely maintained the decorum of the company’s bosses, while the other employees and programrs couldn’t help but start shouting.
“Is this for real, a celebrity who can program?”
“This guy dropped out of middle school! Why on earth!?”
“…So, when my boss told that any random middle-schooler could replace , he was telling the truth, huh.”
