Chapter 34 Interview
Said to be trainee alchemists, these people are quite young and look like students. They are all wearing college-style uniform shirts, uniform skirts, and uniform pants.
Simon didn't know how Bai Tang lured a group of young students to the station, but they were all here, so it wouldn't hurt to get to know them.
"Welcome to the Snow Mountain Adventure Group. I didn't expect so many people to come. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality." Simon apologized.
The seven trainee alchemists waved their hands and returned the salute: "Don't dare, Senior Simon."
After a while, Bai Tang and others moved tables and chairs to the yard and opened a round table-style conversation salon.
In the talk salon, Simon only asked some superficial questions about alchemy knowledge, not any in-depth ones.
Mainly because Simon himself didn’t do deep research and couldn’t ask any in-depth questions.
Among the students from the local alchemy academy, some were able to answer Simon's questions, while others took a long time to answer.
It can be seen that the quality of this batch of students varies from high to low.
If you cannot answer the questions of amateurs after systematic study, then those who cannot answer will undoubtedly fail and will not be taken seriously by Simon.
Even Bai Tang had an embarrassed look on his face when he saw this, seemingly causing trouble to Simon.
Roy had nothing to do, staring blankly at the moon.
The little shark has already taken a nap, blowing bubbles from his nose.
Simon ignored the status of the players, but thought about how to know whether they were suitable for his team.
Having said that, every alchemist sitting here has a worried expression on his face, as if he is attending an interview for fresh graduates.
And Simon is their interviewer.
It's better to test them from the interviewer's perspective.
"Everyone, today we are not going to take the alchemy test, but ask about something else.
"Everyone introduce themselves, such as hobbies, future plans, etc., why they want to join the snow mountain adventure group, your target salary, etc."
Simon's question is very broad and can be answered in any way.
In Simon's eyes, this is a normal and simple interview question, but for people of this era, it is very new.
When recruiting alchemists for a normal adventure group, you can directly look at the works and past results, and there is no need to introduce yourself.
Because they have never experienced such a scene, most of them meditate hard, think too much in their hearts, and struggle with this and that, resulting in a complete silence for a minute.
Since no one came forward to introduce them, Simon looked at everyone's clothes.
Everyone is wearing uniforms, some uniforms are new and some are old.
Judging from the skin, girls generally have better skin, wear foundation, and have a sense of grooming.
Boys have no sense of grooming, their hair is messy and careless, their skin is dry and they have acne.
In addition, the college-style uniform skirt is also highly praised, as is the black woolen coat, white shirt, and bow tie at the collar.
The girls are all wearing blue and black plaid skirts, and tight black stockings outline the shape of young girls' legs that have aged well, which is quite attractive.
When Simon finished looking around, someone finally stood up.
"Hello, Senior Simon, I am Hai Yan, a sophomore from Haizhen Alchemy Academy, currently a trainee.
"I don't have any hobbies. I usually like to do some random alchemy.
"I once interned at Crow's Alchemy Workshop. I don't like parties or making friends.
"Actually, I don't know if I want to join the Snow Mountain Adventure Group. The target salary is more than 10,000 blue gems..."
The young man who stood up was a young man wearing glasses. He looked polite and polite, holding a pot lid on his head. He smelled like a loser.
His self-introduction was quite self-defeating, and he didn’t even know why he wanted to join the snow mountain adventure group.
Maybe he was just infected by the emotion of Bai Tang's speech, and then he followed him as soon as his mind became hot.
Another male student stood up and looked at Hai Yan with disgust: "Senior Simon, it's true that Hai Yan did an internship at the Crow Alchemy Workshop, but he did random alchemy and blew up the workshop once. He was
Master Crow kicked him out, you must never accept this kind of person."
Simon raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
To be honest, he doesn't really like people who accuse people face to face. Even if such people join the team, they are probably the ones who secretly make trouble for their companions.
"What's your name?" Simon asked.
"Senior Simon, my name is Jason, and my hobby is touring mountains and rivers. I want to join the Snow Mountain Adventure Group because you quit White Fruit and must have rich experience in leading a group.
"Following you, your future life will be bright, with a target salary of around 15,000..."
The man with his slicked back hair and shiny forehead looked like he was taking it for granted.
"Well, I understand, where's the next one?" Simon did not comment, but looked at the next one.
The next girl was not prepared until Simon called her name, then she stood up and introduced her hobbies and why she wanted to join the team.
After Simon listened for a round, everyone's reasons for joining the team were very similar, fighting for a bright future, but Hai Yan's reason was more bizarre.
Yes, this is very realistic and normal.
If the adventure group has no future, they will naturally not want to follow this group.
Simon cannot force everyone to understand the first goal of the Snow Mountain Adventure Group immediately. This is not objective and can only be chosen from the shortest.
"You go back first and leave your email address. No matter whether you pass or not, I will write to you. If you receive the letter and still want to come," Simon said.
Everyone looked at each other, are you done with the question?
"Senior Simon, don't you need to look at our works? Don't you need to compare our basic skills with others?" The alchemist named Jason raised a question.
In his world, the most important thing for an alchemist is, of course, the basic skills of alchemy!
If you don’t take a test on basic skills, what else is there to test?
Is it enough to just introduce yourself with just one mouth? I'm afraid there may be a shady story.
"Of course you have to take the basic skills test. It was just the first round of interviews. When you go back, you will wait for the second round of the basic skills test. That will be the highlight." Simon said.
In fact, Simon dismissed many people in the first round.
Among everyone present, I am afraid that only the bespectacled man with a pot-shaped head and the female magician who is stumbling but can answer the questions are qualified to enter the second round.
Why is this?
First of all, what Simon values is character. This does not mean how good the adventurer must be. At the very least, character should be on the passing line.
If you were arrogant and arrogant before you came here, then it’s a pity that Simon doesn’t want to accept such people.
You can have the capital of arrogance, but you must have a sense of humility.
Blind arrogance will only make you lose your normal ability to judge.
Just like Mei Guo from the original team, she was so proud that she could no longer see Simon's efforts and only saw the slow progress of Simon's strategy.
Such a character is absolutely undesirable.
