National destiny: Global tower climbing skills have decreased by 10,000 times.

"What kind of question is this? It lacks this and that, there's no way we can fight it!"

"This is intentional; they're deliberately making things difficult for people!"

"How can that be? Why not just assume we've already lost?"

Chu Liang didn't answer immediately. He thought for a moment, then said:

"This question is wrong; this situation is impossible."

You Shao looked somewhat smug, assuming he definitely wouldn't be able to answer, and asked him in return, "Why?"

Chu Liang calmly explained, with clear logic:

"If you can successfully reach the final stage, it means that your deck has at least one or two attack cards for transition; it's impossible that you didn't draw any."

"With just one or two cards, combined with the Crown Prince's excellent transition card 'Meteor' at the start, the output of the first floor is more than enough."

"If you fight your way down one floor and don't get a single item, and you don't encounter any shops either, then never mind what I said."

"But if a few transitional attack cards are given on the first floor, and you don't take them, then all I can say is..."

"Your skill level is a bit off."

The air in the interview room seemed to freeze.

The deputy interviewer kept his head down, avoiding eye contact with You Shao. The assistant's fingers hovered over the keyboard, not typing a single word.

When You Shao heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He had made up the question on the spot, without any pre-set answer, just to deliberately make things difficult for him.

To his surprise, he not only didn't fall for the trap, but also gave a reasonable and well-founded answer, and in the end even pointed out that the questioner's "level of understanding was questionable".

Young Master You was instantly enraged, his face turning ashen, but in order to maintain his dignity, he could only suppress his anger and remain silent.

The deputy interviewer realized the situation was somewhat awkward. He glanced at You Shao's expression and said to Chu Liang:

"Alright, Mr. Chu, you can leave now. Wait for news."

Chu Liang didn't say anything more, turned around and left. The security guard made way for him and pushed open the door to go out.

The moment the door closed, You Shao slammed his hand on the table, knocking the string of Buddhist beads to the ground.

"This person is absolutely unacceptable!" His voice was loud, and his anger seemed about to overflow.

The assistant interviewer quickly chimed in, "Young Master You, please calm down. This person is indeed young and immature, with low emotional intelligence and a lack of manners..."

"Is he just lacking in emotional intelligence?" You Shao picked up the prayer beads and held them in his hand again.

"He's deliberately pretending not to know! What's the use of a great resume? Someone like that would be a disaster if he joined the team!"

The assistant didn't dare to speak, but just kept typing away on the keyboard.

The assistant interviewer hesitated for a moment, then spoke cautiously, lowering his voice slightly:

"Young Master You, this person... is indeed quite talented, and it just so happens that Old Zhou invited him. If we cancel his application in the first round—"

"Isn't that a bit too disrespectful to those above?"

He lowered his voice even further as he spoke, bringing his voice close to You Shao's ear:

"How about we put it in the next round and let 'Little Chen' handle it?"

You Shao's eyes lit up, but he quickly regained his composure. He coiled the prayer beads back up, leaned back in his chair, and crossed his legs.

"That's a good idea... Well then, let's do it your way."

On the electronic screen in the waiting area, the number flashed, and an announcement came over the loudspeaker:

"Number 214, please proceed to interview room number 3."

Ye Fei stood up, straightened his collar, and walked towards the depths of the corridor.

Interview room number 3 is slightly smaller than number 1, and its layout is also very simple:

A table, two chairs, and two interviewers sitting opposite each other, a man and a woman, both in their thirties, wearing Zixia's uniform with the cloud logo embroidered on their chests.

Ye Fei sat down, and the interviewer glanced at him before looking down at the tablet in his hand.

"May I introduce myself?"

Ye Fei thought for a moment and replied:

Your one-stop haven for novel reading.

"My name is Ye Fei, my account name is 'Hei Xi ceal', and I mainly play as a spectator."

The assistant next to him typed rapidly on the keyboard, then whispered something to the interviewer.

"You're a viewer? You used to do live streaming?"

"Um... not doing, but participating."

The male interviewer nodded, scribbled something on his tablet, and then looked up:

"I'm going to ask you a few questions now, which will determine your interview score. Please answer them carefully, okay?"

"Okay, go ahead and ask."

The interviewer made a gesture, and the assistant next to him took a piece of paper from the table.

This is a screenshot from the game, showing a shop, which was handed to Ye Fei.

"First question: If you only had 115 gold coins, what would you buy in this shop?"

Ye Fei picked up the paper and glanced at it. The character was an observer, the current level was the first floor, the gold coins were 115, and the card deck showed 12 cards.

The only item I can afford from the relics is a "Potion Hip Belt," priced at 110, which also contains some card items at moderate prices.

Offering, 0 cost, deals 5 damage to all enemies, price 69.

"Flame Emblem", 1 cost, adds 5 extra damage to your next attack card, special price 24.

"Flowing Clouds and Flying Sleeves", 1 cost, keep, deals 4 damage twice, price 88

"Devotion", a 1-cost ability card, grants 2 stacks of "Word of Truth" each turn, costing 105.

……

Ye Fei glanced at it and thought: Aren't these all just a layer of inferior transition?

So I asked him:

"Can I see the decklist?"

"No," the interviewer replied immediately.

Ye Fei scratched his head. If he can't look at the deck, how should he think?

It turns out that this was a comprehensive decision-making question that tested both the contestants' understanding of their roles and their ability to allocate resources.

The designer's original intention was to test the players' understanding of card priorities and how they would make the optimal decisions with limited gold coins.

If you only buy one "Offering" or "Flame Pattern" card, you will only get the lowest score.

According to the mainstream understanding of the Dragon Kingdom regarding viewers, "Flowing Clouds and Flying Sleeves" is an excellent transitional card. It costs 1 mana and deals 8 damage, which is a good stat. It also has the characteristic of being retained. As long as you choose it, you get half points.

Many players believe that "Devotion" is very reliable and they can afford it, so they decisively choose to buy only one "Mantra," thinking it's the correct answer. In reality, they can only get a very low score.

Some players are very good with numbers. If they find that they can buy more than one card, they will choose a "Flame Emblem" plus a "Offering" or a potion.

The best option, according to the official settings, is to choose to buy both "Flame Pattern" and "Flowing Clouds and Flying Sleeves" at the same time, maximizing the utilization of gold coins.

These two cards can work together to create a powerful combination; choosing this answer will guarantee you full marks!

However, the question setter overlooked the fact that card draws are relative, and all card draws are decisions based on the current deck and environment.

Ye Fei didn't buy anything.

"I choose to delete one card."

The two interviewers paused, exchanged a glance, then whispered something in each other's ears before looking back at Ye Fei:

"Okay, that concludes our interview. Please wait outside for further notice."

Ye Fei was stunned. He stood up and asked:

"Is this the only question?"

The interviewer gave a polite smile, appearing quite nonchalant.

"Yes, our interview is over. You can leave now."

Ye Fei walked out of the room and came outside, feeling as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Am I eliminated just like that?"
