Li jingsi was sitting in the lobby of Emperor dynasty Entertainmentās imperial capital Branch, looking dumbfounded.
Li jingsi did not want to come at first when she was inexplicably arranged for an interview. However, after thinking about it, it had taken li Jingwan a lot of effort to arrange it, so she had to reluctantly come …
Anyway, it was just a formality. After all, it was not easy for a video game designer to enter the industry. It required a lot of professional knowledge. Li jingsi usually did not have any proper research on video game design other than playing games. Coming to the interview was just a gift. There was no way she would pass, okay?
ā¦ā¦
Emperor dynasty Entertainmentās imperial capital Branch was very formal. It was located in a high-end office building in the northeast of the imperial capital, and visitors had to register after entering.

After the pretty lady at the front desk clarified li jingsiās purpose for coming, she called the person in charge and asked li jingsi to wait in the lobby for a moment.
This was li jingsiās first time attending an interview for a gaming company. She was not wearing a formal suit and did not even have a resume …
However, the game companyās interview didnāt require formal wear, because the internet industry was more casual, and there werenāt so many requirements on appearance.
But even so, li jingsiās aura still seemed out of place with the rest of the company.
To put it simply, everyone was either working seriously or pretending to be serious about their work. Only li jingsi herself seemed to be on vacation …
If he came to the interview with the mentality of not being hired, he suddenly felt that the interview was not scary at all …
The receptionist received a call, then stood up and said to li jingsi,āāAlright, this time, our chief Qiu will personally interview you. Please follow me to conference Room No. 3. ā
The lady at the front desk led Li jingsi forward, passing through work stations after work stations.
……
The lady at the front desk said to li jingsi,āāItās director Qiu whoās personally interviewing you. It seems like youāre quite valued. I wish you a successful interview.ā
Li jingsi smiled, but didnāt say anything. She thought to herself,āI donāt want to succeed in the interview at all …ā
The two of them arrived at conference Room No. 3, and the lady at the front desk knocked on the door.
āPlease come in.ā A deep voice said.
The lady at the front desk opened the door, and Li jingsi walked in.
There were four people sitting in the meeting room, three men and one woman. They were probably all employees of Emperor dynasty Entertainmentās branch in Imperial City, and Li jingsi clearly did not know any of them.
Her eyes quickly swept over the four people and gave them nicknames from left to right: Glasses man, fatty, suit man, and round-faced girl.
Well … It was very similar to the characteristics of a game companyās employee. There was nothing wrong with it.
Fatty pointed to the seat across the conference table.āāLi jingsi, right? Please have a seat. ā
After li jingsi sat down, the fatty introduced himself.āāHello, Iām the chief designer of the āancient catastropheā mobile game project in the imperial capital Branch of Emperor dynasty entertainment. My name is Zhang Bei. This is a well-known mobile game designer from Emperor dynasty Entertainmentās headquarters and the main designer of moon Godās prophecy, Qiu bin, CEO Qiu. ā
Li jingsi nodded very politely.
Zhang Bei was a little puzzled. If it was anyone else who came for the interview, they would at least say ānice to meet youā after hearing these two titles, right?
Especially Qiu bin, he was the best Mobile Game designer in Emperor dynasty entertainment, with a few successful works. Moon Godās prophecy had just reached the top of the best selling leaderboard, there was no reason for anyone who wanted to enter the game industry not to know him …
However, li jingsiās polite nod made it clear that she meant: I donāt know you guys, but I feel that you guys are really cool, so Iāll just nod and send a 666 out of courtesy.
Zhang Bei was also very confused. Qiu bin was the one who asked for the interview, but why did it look like Qiu bin and the interviewee did not know each other at all?
What kind of script was this?
The atmosphere was a little awkward, so Zhang Bei had to continue with the interview.
He had already heard that this interviewee was special and did not even have a resume. However, he knew the basic information. He graduated from the capitalās key university and was excellent in his studies. The only problem was that he had few interests and hobbies. He basically had no resume worth mentioning in the University.
However, it was said that he was very good at playing games, but he didnāt know if that was true.
Zhang Bei coughed twice.āHow about this? briefly tell me what games youāve played, and what games youāve been playing recently.ā
Li jingsi thought for a moment.āIāve played quite a lot of games. For example, Warcraft, League of Legends, Overwatch. Iāve been playing Dark Souls recently.ā
Everyone present was a little confused. Why did these games all seem to be Thunderbolt Entertainmentās games? This girl hadnāt even played a single one of Emperor dynasty Entertainmentās games before, why was she here for an interview?
Qiu bin nodded.āYeah, theyāre all famous games. How are they?ā
Li jingsi thought for a moment.āIāve reached the top of the ladder in Warcraft. Iāve also reached the kingās section in League of Legends. Iāve just finished four rounds in Dark Souls.ā
There was complete silence.
Everyone present gasped …
In the game designerās interview, it was a common and unimportant routine to ask the interviewee what game he played and what segment he was in.
Some video game designers were good at playing games, while others were terrible at it. There were even some who didnāt like playing games at all and could still be video game designers.
It was because designing a game and playing a game were two completely different things. Just like a chef and a customer, liking to eat didnāt necessarily mean that they knew how to cook.
Of course, as a video game designer, if you played well, you could get extra points in the interview.
But wasnāt li jingsiās level a little too good?
Reaching the top of the ladder in Warcraft was already unbelievable. After all, it was a real-time strategy game that had high requirements for hand speed, which was not good for female players.
To be able to reach the highest level in both Warcraft and League of Legends, it could be described as cheating. Many professional players from traditional RTS games switched to League of Legends, but many of them were stuck at the diamond rank …
Moreover, li jingsi had successfully completed four rounds of Dark Souls, a game that was publicly acknowledged to be insane. That was even more unbelievable …
Even the professional video game designers were dissuaded after trying out Dark Souls, let alone the girls. At most, they could only get through one round of the game to see the plot.
Zhang Bei really wanted to ask, girl, does your family know that youāre so cool?
Zhang Bei coughed twice.āWith your level, you can totally become a streamer. Did you have similar thoughts before?ā
Li jingsi shook her head.āNo, I donāt think thereās any point in being a streamer.ā
Zhang Bei and Qiu bin looked at each other, both thinking that this girl was pretty independent.
Normally, if a normal person could play League of Legends to the level of the king, they would definitely try to do a live stream. After all, the live stream industry was so popular now. Those big live streamers could easily earn hundreds of thousands or millions a year. Many people were trying their best to get into the live stream industry.
If he was really talented and had outstanding gaming skills, this was equivalent to a gift from the heavens. How could he be completely uninterested in the streamer?
Moreover, with li jingsiās looks and skills, she would definitely be a pillar of the livestream, right? Even if he didnāt like to talk or joke, as long as he sat in front of the computer, turned on the camera, and played a King ranked game, his popularity would still rise!
Zhang Bei said,āhmm…You mean youāre not interested in live streaming?ā Then why are you interested in game design?ā
āOh, Iām actually not interested in game design,ā li jingsi said.
Zhang Bei was speechless.
