Interactive Fiction: The Right Choice After Unemployment

Chapter 73 Magic Guide Changes Life
14.3% for option one, 39.3% for option three, and 46.4% for option four.

……

【Option [-]】

【School Worker】

……

Since he began to refer to the results of [Subconscious Voting], Zheng Zhuo has gone through many decisions, big or small, with it.He was more or less psychologically prepared, and the number of times he was surprised by the vote distribution of [Subconscious Voting] became less and less.

But this time, the result still surprised Zheng Zhuo.

"The janitor? Is the janitor the most popular choice?"

This is the hardest of the four options to imagine how to do it.

However, when you think about it seriously, it's not completely impossible to start.

"The janitor should have the maximum access authority. No matter what to investigate, it will be very convenient. [Dark attribute] attack methods, the way to remove the curse, these things that ordinary students and teachers cannot investigate, maybe they can be found."

Moreover, as school staff, the school staff must have their own understanding of the competition venue.You can also know the information of the competition venue from here.

"The goal is to help this girl win the championship trophy in the college competition... Maybe she can be a janitor and get the trophy out quietly."

Is this the fastest pass?

"...Okay. Let's decide on this."

Zheng Zhuo clicked on the [School Worker] option.

The option glows soft green.Zheng Zhuo saw that the shaking white on the identity card in front of him stabilized, revealing the words.

[Position: School Worker].Then there was a string of symbols mixed with odd-shaped letters and numbers, which Zheng Zhuo guessed was the employee code.

"Going to work at school."

At least the job sounds a lot safer than "sea crew" and "stealing gems from the feet of dragons."

Zheng Zhuo stretched out his hand to hold the identity card.The golden color around him receded like the ebb of the tide, and Zheng Zhuo was dragged into the academy by a huge force.He went through several rooms—even through the library where the girl was.

Finally, Zheng Zhuo fell into a hall.

……

There was a lot of voices.When Zheng Zhuo came back to his senses, he found himself standing among a dozen grown men and women.

Everyone is wearing blue short sleeves and white trousers.Zheng Zhuo looked down and found that he was also dressed in the same way.

It can be clearly seen that this outfit is the uniform of this magic academy.Because on the left chest, [Udoma Academy of Magic and Guidance] was written in small characters.

In the process of confirming his clothes, Zheng Zhuo raised his arm, and a strand of yellow thread slipped from his hand.

He opens his hand.What he held in his palm was the badge he had just selected.

"Attention please!"

There was commotion ahead of the crowd.Someone raised his voice.

"School workers who are new to report this year, please come here to report—"

Time to report.

Zheng Zhuo hung the badge around his neck and walked forward with the others.

……

In Zheng Zhuo's original imagination, the work of the janitor should be more difficult: for example, using the magic stone to operate various machines, or using the magic stone to release magic: breathing fire, releasing water, generating electricity, making things in the air Flying in the sky.When he entered the school, all he could think about was "how can I get away with it".

But unexpectedly, Zheng Zhuo got many things wrong.

The first thing is, "The Sorcerer's Stone is hard to use".

The experience of [Dungeon World] made Zheng Zhuo preconceived that "without skills, one cannot use magic".However, magic is not like this.

When the leading janitor said to everyone, "You all come to experience this magic door", Zheng Zhuo leaned behind the crowd and tried it too.

He put his hand on the round magic stone.

No spells, no slogans, no special qualifications, nothing.

He just silently thought "open it, door" in his heart, and the door really opened.

This was a pleasant surprise: that is, he didn't have to pretend he could mage at all.

There are some janitors around who like to chat, and they are discussing along the way.Thanks to them, Zheng Zhuo understands the rules of this world: the operation of civilian magic tools (such as doors, windows, lights, vehicles, communication equipment, computing equipment, etc.) is very simple.Even untrained people can use it.However, complex devices such as magic weapons and magic research equipment need to be operated by [magisters] who are good at using magic.It is said that magisters are masters of controlling their own thoughts. They can generate multiple clear and clear instructional thoughts in an instant. Therefore, they can instruct weapons or equipment with complex performance and hundreds of different instructions at the same time.

Everyone can use magic, but not many people can become magicians.In this world, only monsters hold magic stones. Magisters who are good at fighting will defeat monsters and get magic stones. Magisters who are good at research devote themselves to developing magic devices.The more such people are always the better.Therefore, the magister has a high status in this world and will not come to work as a janitor.

And this [Udoma Magic Academy] is the school that trains magisters.

Then, the second thing that Zheng Zhuo got wrong is already clear.

That is "janitor's job will be difficult".

Since only ordinary people will come to work as janitors, then the work content of janitors is naturally something that ordinary people can do.

The leading janitor introduced various facilities in the school along the way: halls, kitchens, canteens, classrooms, dormitories, battlefields, and research rooms.And Zheng Zhuo also understood the content of his work in his introduction.

Very simple.

In other words, it is surprisingly easy to understand.

What he has to do is almost the same as what a school janitor in the real world has to do.

Use magic cooking utensils to cook every morning, and use magic maintenance machinery to care for the surrounding flowers and trees.Use magic devices to clean the inside and outside of the school during class time.If a faulty facility is found, the corresponding magic device will be opened for repair.

And those magic devices are easy to learn.You don't even need an instruction manual, just control them with vague thoughts.

Zheng Zhuo adapted to life here within a day.

Strangely shaped airships fly in the sky, and on campus, students attack each other with dangerous-looking weapons and magic.But working here, he has a feeling of coming home.

This is the most peaceful world he has ever experienced.If anything, he didn't feel that there was any difference between this place and reality - it felt a bit like working as a janitor in a particularly expensive noble school.

As long as you treat those magical devices like the latest high-end invention.

"I feel like I fit right in here."

Zheng Zhuo sighed.In reality, it is impossible for him to find a better job.Therefore, in the evening of that day, after the lead janitor said, "Those who agree to stay, please sign here", Zheng Zhuo signed his name without hesitation.

Just then...

Ding dong.

A green interface popped up in front of him.

【ability】.

These two characters appeared in front of Zheng Zhuo.

Yup!

Every time you enter a new world, you will gain an ability.Zheng Zhuo has not yet chosen the abilities of this world.He was so indulging in this gentle world that he forgot about it.

Ability selection only appears now, probably because signing a name is considered a successful report.

Under [Ability], there are four options as usual.

Zheng Zhuo carefully looked at the options.
