As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 378 Magic Academy
“Let me ask you a question. Have you received any invitations from ByteDance or Tencent? Which of these two companies is better?
I am a blogger on a certain platform. After I bought "Future" on the official website of Ke Chuang Biotechnology, I created some content around "Future".

Since posting content about the virtual world, there has been a significant improvement in both the speed of increasing followers and the stickiness of fans.

In the past two days, ByteDance and Tencent announced through official channels that they had obtained the live broadcast authorization from Ke Chuang Biotechnology.

Therefore, they all found me through various channels and expressed their desire to sign a contract with me, and I went to their platform to become a full-time anchor in the virtual world.

I would like to ask for everyone’s opinions and the reputation of ByteDance and Tencent.

The word-of-mouth here does not refer to the reputation in the minds of users, but from the perspective of work, and from the perspective of the brand-new industry of virtual world live broadcast.

I hope you can give me some advice. I worked for a short period of time after graduating from college, and since then I have been making a living by doing self-media.

No binding contract has been signed.

Another premise is that I am still very interested in becoming a full-time anchor in the virtual world.

Firstly, when I was communicating with these two companies, they clearly stated that the live broadcast rights of the virtual world would not be open to individuals for at least five years. Only they would have this function.

Secondly, I have been doing self-media and live-streaming from time to time, so I have a strong desire to share and express myself.”

In the future, after the release, those who hope to take advantage of this wave of opportunities to start businesses will not only start businesses in the virtual world, nor will they be limited to the form of Internet cafes.

Some startups with a keen sense of smell have set up a forum specifically for the virtual world.

Posting users need to be reviewed, and only after passing the review can they obtain posting permissions.

Ordinary users can only reply or watch.

After the forum went online, it has gained popularity rapidly in recent times as it has attracted bloggers who are willing to share their experiences in the virtual world.

There is a vague trend of surpassing their original main site NGA.

“My suggestion is that up-loaders are doing well now, and there is no need to sign contracts with Tencent or ByteDance and let them take advantage of them.

Neither of these two companies is a good deal.

If you become a virtual world anchor, you will definitely sign a very binding contract, which is mostly a trap. "

“Thank you for your advice, brother. The main reason is that the income from my own media was barely enough for my living. I don’t see any hope of buying a house, a car, or getting married in the short term by relying on my own media.

Then, after catching up with the boom in the virtual world, my income increased to a higher level.

But I am very clear that this bonus period is limited.

As the number of users of the virtual world increases, more and more people will want to create their own media to get a piece of the pie.

At the same time, the more users you have, the less attractive your content will be.

According to my understanding of Ke Chuang Bio's production capacity, the bonus period will be at most two years.

Moreover, this bonus period is a gradually declining trend.

Both Tencent and ByteDance offered me a very high base salary with no responsibility and a relatively high share of gift profits.

I am quite impressed by the treatment.

Not to mention being able to broadcast live in front of a global audience, with ByteDance and Tencent’s channels helping to attract traffic, I should be willing to sign the contract.”

“I also feel like it’s pie in the sky. The blogger also said in his personal background that he took advantage of this wave of popularity to get more attention and traffic.

If it were before, I might have been a blogger with at most tens of thousands of followers, and I would have never made any breakthroughs.

The reason why Tencent and ByteDance chose you is because there are more famous or more suitable anchors. They did not buy the "future".

The choices at Tencent and ByteDance were very narrow, and the blogger's identity and resume happened to appear on the list of candidates.

My advice is to go, and then make clear the rights, responsibilities and interests in the contract.

After the big companies have cleaned up their act, they still have some bottom line in what they do.

As long as you sign directly with a big company, rather than with an agency, and have an agency as a buffer zone in between, you shouldn’t be transferred to a pit.”

All large domestic companies have labor dispatch companies, not just Internet companies.

Large financial institutions, such as banks, insurance companies, etc.

A large number of low-level positions are recruited by labor dispatch companies, and then work for large factories.

The advantage of this is that large companies can lay off employees without any burden and do not need to incur any losses.

Things like labor arbitration cannot be arbitrated by large factories themselves.

The phenomenon of unequal pay for equal work is common in outsourcing.

In the past, only low-end positions did this, but in recent years, due to the convenience of labor dispatch, many mid-end positions also do this.

In some banks, middle-level management positions all do this. Some banks' middle-level management signs contracts with labor dispatch companies.

"As a virtual world worker who has signed a contract with Tencent, I am here to share my personal experience!
If it's about money, big companies do offer more. For a newcomer like me who knows nothing, the offered price is around 700,000.

If I hadn't caught the wave of the virtual world, I feel like I would never be able to earn this salary in my lifetime.

Of course, not all prices are this high. The price offered by Tencent is closely related to your personal qualities.

They have requirements in all aspects such as academic qualifications, resume, IQ and EQ, and the requirements are not low.

You can't get so much just by having a "future".

And the work is definitely not easy, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as tiring.

After signing the contract, when you enter the virtual world, you are not doing it with a gaming mentality, but with work.

And Tencent does give you work to do. You have to write a daily work report, describing in detail where you explored, what you encountered, and what valuable information you got.

Based on your daily report, the person in charge will specifically assign you to explore an area and then discover some clues.

In addition to the usual time for exploring the virtual world, you also need to take classes, ranging from fitness to fighting to some basic science knowledge.

There’s a lot of content, and overall it made me feel like I was back in high school.

I don’t know what it will be like to do live streaming in the virtual world, but judging from my intuition, I feel that it will definitely not be easy.

It depends on whether you can resist it."

Big Internet companies or companies in other industries, or simply rich second-generations, recruit a group of people to work for them in the virtual world.

This group of people call themselves workers in the virtual world on social media.

Management in large Internet companies is very strict, and in their understanding, the virtual world does not require physical and mental effort and is actually relaxing.

The real work is outside the virtual world.

Whether it is writing a work report or attending class, it is all to help them better explore the virtual world.

At the same time, as more information is generated, they can also explore solutions in a targeted manner.

Internet giants or other companies have a speculation about "The Magic World", that is, Zheng Li put the magic-related secrets in "The Magic World".

It's not a secret, but knowledge, knowledge related to magic, magical knowledge that can be used in the real world.

This is speculation by some companies.

The prices offered by Chinese companies are not high enough. The prices offered by American Internet giants start at 500,000 US dollars.

Of course, there are also rich second-generations who simply want to form a team and have someone to lead them when they get in. For rich second-generations like this, the requirements and work intensity will be much lower, and the work content will be much less.

"I am a worker in the virtual world of ByteDance, which is not much better than Tencent.

Even the information you obtain in the virtual world needs to be repeated exactly in the real world.

I passed the exam in the magical world and successfully entered the magic academy, and now I have started studying basic courses.

ByteDance requires me to replicate the content of each course in the real world.

Although I have a good IQ and memory, it is really torturous.

The brain's storage space is limited.

Byte is not asking me to record the key content, but to record every detail.

In short, the byte requirement is a bit abnormal.

It is undeniable that the salary he offered was very high, which was beyond my reach before.”

The blogger's question gradually went off track with this answer.

Because up to now, players' exploration in "Magic World" is still mainly based on cities.

No one has figured out which city they are in, let alone found a magic school.

Now someone claims that he has entered the magic academy and started studying, and not just one class.

This is not just being one step ahead. If this were a 100-meter race, the answerer would already be ten meters ahead.

"Can you tell me how you got into the magic academy?"

"Could you please add a contact number?"

"Boss, please take me with you. Which city are you in?"

Since there are currently very few people entering the "Magic World", there are very few players who are lucky enough to land in the same city.

The background planet of "Magic World" is much larger than the Blue Planet.

Whether it is a company or an organization with some other background, they will naturally not let the players explore honestly.

They thought about bribing employees within Kechuang Bio to try to find out more information.

But the problem is that the evolution and specific details of the entire world are completed by artificial intelligence. Even if they find Chen Ran, Chen Ran will not be able to explain it.

Bribing the internal employees of Kechuang Bio has little effect.

Unless they can bribe Zheng Li.

Li Miaomiao doesn't know as much as Chen Ran.

That reply was deleted shortly afterwards.

Because he was the only player within ByteDance who was allowed to study at the Magic Academy, the post was found by ByteDance's internal public opinion monitoring mechanism and the person who posted it was quickly identified.

He was quickly found and asked to delete the post.

But it was no use, because the news had already spread.

The Internet has memories.

No matter whether the post is deleted or it is destroyed by human flesh, even after many years, you can always find traces of its existence by accident.

Not to mention the most popular answer under a hot post of this level.

It quickly spread to other forums.

The largest forum related to this virtual world has the most discussions centered around the School of Magic.

"Does anyone know how to get into the magic academy? I just need a clue. If it's useful, there will be a five-digit red envelope for you!"

The alienation between individuals caused by money is extremely serious.

For some people, five figures means several months of work, but for others, it is not even enough to buy a meal.

The emergence of the virtual world makes individuals who have advantages in the real world naturally want to extend their advantages in the real world to the virtual world.

When companies recruit employees from the virtual world, they are actually individuals using the company as a vehicle to try to maintain their real-world advantages in the virtual world.

It’s just that doing this through a company is more efficient and more acceptable to individuals than for individuals to spend money to buy products and services in the virtual world.

Individuals will be wary of behaviors that show off their wealth, and subconsciously want to take advantage of others.

But when it comes to corporate hiring practices, they are not aware of this.

The topic about the magic academy became the hottest topic on the forum that day and for several days afterwards.

Not only are there people willing to pay for it, but there are also people who try to buy information by using sex appeal, such as posting selfies and adding suggestive words.

This is 100% a scam. Most likely they will ask you to tell her first and then deny it, or give you a very small advantage.

“I also successfully entered the magic academy.

But I am not a member of any company or organization.

Since everyone wants to know so much, I will just say a few words.

The magic academy exists in the city, and I shared the news with my good brother. We are not in the same city, but we both found the entrance to the magic academy.

It was just that I got the admission, while my friend failed to pass the entrance exam and get the admission.

I just want to tell you that it is not difficult to find the entrance to the Magic Academy as long as you look carefully.

Then even if you fail the magic academy test, you can still learn magic.

However, compared with the systematic learning in magic academies, self-taught magicians may be biased in their studies.

This is just my guess.

Because I just started studying at the Magic Academy, it’s not time for me to choose my major yet.

This is a class with real NPCs. So far, I have met about five NPCs.

They only teach the class and will not answer your questions. You have to answer your questions by yourself.

I guess these NPCs are videos, or AR projections of the virtual world.

This is just a guess.

If there are friends who have successfully entered the magic academy, you can send me a private message in the background and we can exchange some information.

For those who have obtained the admission qualifications and enrolled, you know the words on the test paper after passing the entrance examination of the Magic Academy, and use those words as the verification password.

I guess that should be a famous quote among the wizard community."

After a blogger posted a message, the incident reached a climax. Players wanted to know how to enter the magic academy, what the entrance exam was about, and what the purpose of magic was.

It is very uncomfortable for the spectators who did not buy the "future".

Others are so far ahead. When they enter the magical world, what will happen if the magic academy has an enrollment cap?
