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 since they were all here, 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 reception." Simon apologized.
The seven trainee alchemists waved their hands and returned the salute: "Don't dare take it seriously, 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 questions.
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 be a failure and will not be taken seriously by Simon.
Even Bai Tang had an embarrassed look on his face when he saw this, seemingly causing Simon trouble.
Roy had nothing to do, staring blankly at the moon.
The little shark had 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 test alchemy, 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 broad and can be answered in any number of ways.
In Simon's eyes, this is a normal and simple interview question, but for people of this era, it is very new.
When recruiting an alchemist 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 are thinking hard, thinking too much in their hearts, and tangled up in this and that, resulting in a full minute of silence.
Since no one came forward to introduce them, Simon looked at everyone's clothes.
Everyone wears uniforms, some uniforms are new and some are old.
Judging from the skin, girls generally have good 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 extremely popular, as is the black woolen coat, white shirt, and bow tie at the neckline.
The girls are all wearing blue and black plaid skirts, and the tight black stockings outline the shape of young girls' legs that have aged well, which is quite eye-catching.
When Simon finished looking around, someone finally stood up.
"Hello, Senior Simon, I am Hai Yan, a second-year student from Haizhen Alchemy Academy, currently a trainee.
"I don't have any hobbies. I usually like to do some random alchemy.
"I used to be an intern 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, holding a pot lid on his head, and smelled like a loser.
The self-introduction he said was also quite self-defeating. Even he didn't 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 and said nothing.
To be honest, he doesn't really like people who complain in person. Even if such a person joins the team, he is probably someone who secretly troubles his 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. The target salary is around 15,000..."
The man with his slicked back hair and shiny forehead showed a natural look.
"Well, I understand, where's the next one?" Simon did not comment, but looked at the next one.
The next girl was unprepared. It was not until Simon called her name that 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. They were fighting for a bright future. Only Hai Yan's reason was weird.
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 take a test on?
Is it enough to just introduce yourself with just one mouth? I'm afraid there may be some shady story behind it.
"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 eligible to enter the second round.
why is that?
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 be arrogant, but you must have a sense of humility.
Blind arrogance will only make you lose your normal judgment.
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.
And Simon doesn't want to experience similar incidents again.
