Li Jingsi was sitting in the lobby of Emperor Dynasty Entertainment's Imperial Capital branch office, confused.
She was inexplicably arranged for an interview. Li Jingsi didn't want to come at all, but after thinking about it, Li Jingshu had spent a lot of effort to arrange it, so she reluctantly came …
After all, it wasn't easy to become a video game designer. It required a lot of professional knowledge, and Li Jingsi had never seriously studied any video game design knowledge other than playing games. She would only be sending herself to death if she came for the interview. There was no way she would pass.
…
Emperor Dynasty Entertainment's Imperial Capital branch office was very formal. It was located in a high class office building in the northeast of the Imperial Capital, and required a visitor registration.
After the pretty receptionist asked Li Jingsi why she was here, she called the person in charge and asked Li Jingsi to wait in the lobby.
This was Li Jingsi's first interview with a video game company, and she wasn't dressed formally, and didn't even have a resume …
However, she didn't need to wear formal attire for an interview with a video game company, as the video game industry was more casual, and didn't have that many requirements on appearance.
Even so, Li Jingsi's aura didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the company.
Basically, everyone was either working seriously, or pretending to be working seriously, except for Li Jingsi, who seemed like she was here for a vacation …
Coming to the interview with the mentality of not getting hired, it suddenly didn't feel scary at all …
The receptionist received a call, and stood up to tell Li Jingsi, "Alright, this time Mr. Qiu is interviewing you personally. Please follow me, in conference room three. "
The lady at the front desk led Li Jingsi forward, passing by each workstation.
The receptionist said to Li Jingsi, "It seems like Mr. Qiu is interviewing you personally, I hope you're successful."
Li Jingsi smiled, but didn't say anything. She thought to herself, 'I don't want the interview to be successful at all …'
The two of them arrived at conference room three, and the receptionist knocked on the door.
"Come in," said a deep voice.
The receptionist opened the door, and Li Jingsi walked in.
There were four people in the conference room, three men and one woman, most likely employees of Emperor Dynasty Entertainment's Imperial Capital branch office. Li Jingsi obviously didn't know any of them.
She quickly scanned through the four of them, and gave them nicknames from left to right: Glasses guy, Fatty, Suit guy, and Round Face girl.
Hmm … It was in line with the characteristics of the employees of the game company.
The fat man pointed at the seat across the conference table. "Li Jingsi, right? Please take a seat. "
After Li Jingsi sat down, the fatty introduced himself, "Nice to meet you, I'm Zhang Bei, the lead designer for the Ancient Calamity project at Emperor Dynasty Entertainment's Imperial Capital branch. The person next to me is a famous mobile game designer from Emperor Dynasty Entertainment, as well as the main designer of Moon Lord's Prophecy, Qiu Bin. "
Li Jingsi nodded politely.
Zhang Bei was a little puzzled. If it was someone else who came for the interview, after hearing these two titles, they would at least say, "It's an honor to meet you."
Especially Qiu Bin, he was considered the best mobile game designer in Emperor Dynasty Entertainment, with a few successful games under his belt. Furthermore, Moon Lord's Prophecy had recently reached the top of the best sellers leaderboards. There was no way anyone in the video game industry wouldn't know about it …
But seeing Li Jingsi nod politely, the meaning behind it was very clear: I don't know you guys, but I feel that you guys are really cool, so I'll just nod politely and say 666.
Zhang Bei was also puzzled. This interview was requested by Qiu Bin himself, so why did it seem like the interviewee didn't know Qiu Bin at all?
What kind of script was this?
The atmosphere was a little awkward, so Zhang Bei could only continue with the interview.
He had heard that this interviewee was a little special, as she didn't even have a resume. But the basic information was known. She graduated from a top university in the Imperial Capital, and had excellent grades. The only problem was that she didn't have many hobbies, and didn't have anything noteworthy in university.
But it was said that she was really good at games, but Zhang Bei wasn't sure if that was true or not.
Zhang Bei coughed, "How about this, briefly tell me what games you've played, and what games you've been playing recently?"
Li Jingsi gave it a thought, "I've played quite a few games, like Warcraft, League of Legends, Overwatch, and recently Dark Souls."
Everyone was confused. Why did all these games seem to be from Thunderbolt Entertainment? This girl hadn't even played a single Emperor Dynasty Entertainment game, why was she here for an interview?
Qiu Bin nodded, "Yeah, they're all famous games, how are you playing them?"
Li Jingsi gave it a thought, "Got to the top of the ladder in Warcraft, League of Legends at the top, and Dark Souls just got to the fourth stage."
Silence reigned.
Everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air …
It was common practice to ask the interviewee what games they played and which stage they were at during the video game designer interview, and it wasn't important.
Some video game designers were really good at games, while others were really bad at games. There were even those who didn't like games at all that could become video game designers.
This was because designing games and playing games were two completely different things. It was like a chef and a diner, loving to eat didn't necessarily mean you could cook.
Of course, as a video game designer, playing a good game would earn you extra points in the interview.
But wasn't Li Jingsi's level a little too good?
Getting to the top of the ladder in Warcraft was already incredible. It was an RTS game after all, and had a high hand speed requirement, which wasn't very friendly for female players.
To be able to get both Warcraft and League of Legends to the highest level at the same time could only be described as cheating. Many professional players in traditional RTS games who switched to League of Legends were stuck at the Diamond stage …
Moreover, Li Jingsi was able to get a game like Dark Souls, which was publicly known to be insane, to get to the fourth stage.
It wasn't just the girls, even the professional video game designers were dissuaded after trying out Dark Souls. The most they could do was play the game once to see what was going on.
Zhang Bei really wanted to ask, does your family know you're so dumb?
Zhang Bei coughed, "You can definitely be a streamer at your level, have you ever thought of doing something like that before?"
Li Jingsi shook her head, "No, I don't think it's interesting to be a streamer."
Zhang Bei and Qiu Bin looked at each other. They both felt that this girl was a maverick.
Logically speaking, if an average person could beat League of Legends to the King's level, they would definitely try streaming. After all, the streaming industry was so popular these days. Big streamers could easily earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Many people were trying their best to get into the streaming industry.
If he was really talented and had outstanding gaming skills, this was equivalent to God giving him a meal. How could he not be interested in the streamer at all?
Moreover, with Li Jingsi's looks and skill, she would definitely be a pillar in a stream, right? Even if she didn't like to talk or tell jokes, as long as she sat in front of the computer, turned on the camera, and played a round of King of Legends, her popularity would skyrocket!
Zhang Bei said, "Hmm … so you're not interested in streaming? Then why are you interested in video game design? "
Li Jingsi said, "Oh, I'm actually not interested in video game design."
