I am the one running the game

Chapter 964: What is the difference between enrolling and starting work?
At Qi City Magician Academy, Lu Xingshi successfully became a reserve magician who had just enrolled for one day.

The city and college where the one favored by destiny is located.

If you want to become a true magician, you must graduate from the academy.

However, the first thing he faced after entering school was not to collect textbooks, but to have several financial aid contracts placed in front of him.

These contracts all come from invitations from giant magic device companies. As long as you sign them, you can become an employee of the giant company. Not only will you have a fixed salary every month, but you can also get a financial aid.

Once you become a qualified magician, you will be employed by a large company. Not only will your salary and benefits increase significantly, you will even be able to get more resources and help.

Of course, these contracts have levels. The one in Lu Xingshi's hand is the lowest level, iron level. Above that are bronze, silver, gold and the highest level, a total of five contract levels.

Different contract levels have different salaries and resources, and the levels after joining the company will also be different.

For example, Lu Xingshi was only at the Iron level, and when he graduated and started working, he was just the most basic Level 5 employee.

The highest level of position once entering a giant company is first-level supervisor.

Level five is the lowest and level one is the highest. Positions like supervisor, especially level one supervisor, are beyond the reach of most magicians.

It is also very simple to upgrade the contract level, which means showing enough potential and growth ability during the academy period.

One advantage of the human empire's magic device giants after they have combined strength, economy, and power into a corporate-like system is that their room for growth will not be closed off. However, their disadvantages are also obvious. It is difficult to rise, and requires sufficient exchange of interests and strength as a foundation.

As for the situation similar to a family business? Impossible. The Magic Device Giant looks like a business, but in fact it is a force, but the operation method is rather special.

Especially those magic researchers who possess powerful strength, many of them are born into middle and lower class backgrounds. After all, with their talent and knowledge, when they grow up, they will be noticed by the gods.

Apart from spies, few people inside would kill the magic researchers, and even if they wanted to, they actually had no chance.

After becoming a magic researcher, his growth is very rapid. It can be said that he reaches a small realm every day and a big realm every three days.

It has grown before the enemy can react.

Lu Xingshi was flipping through these contracts. The restrictions were not very big, and there was no clause about selling oneself. Instead, they were very much in compliance with the laws of the empire.

Come to think of it, why would they break the law? The magicians form the foundation of their violent organization. If they really have an attitude that if you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will do it, other giant magic device companies will be the first to take advantage of this huge wealth and bite off a big piece of meat from them.

And this is just the lowest level contract. If someone really messes up, they can resign or change jobs later. It doesn't mean that once they join you, they can't leave.

Many giant magic device companies check and balance each other. This is the work of the Lord of Glory of the Empire. While avoiding one company dominating the market, they also develop gradually through competition.

"Let's go with Universe Sky." Lu Xingshi randomly picked a giant company.

The contents of the contract and the benefits described are actually not much different from one company to another. Even if there are slight differences, they are not a big deal.

This is a contract that has gone through countless revisions. Although it is not perfect, it is the most appropriate one at the moment.

"Three thousand a month. After signing the contract, I will give you a standard magic device called the Spirit Floating Cannon. Then, I will give you a portion of the No. 1 Strong Spirit Metal every month."

The so-called No. 1 strong spiritual metal is the material used to strengthen and enhance the spiritual floating cannon.

After signing the contract, a magic puppet used for daily life collected all the contracts, and backed up the contract signed by Lu Xingshi and Universal Sky Enterprise and sent it to the enterprise.

Within two minutes, a new contract with the seal of Universe Sky Enterprise was spit out by the magic device puppet.

It is normal to have a contract in triplicate.

Lu Xingshi must get one.

Then, when Lu Xingshi just returned to his dormitory, he found that the things had been delivered.

Apparently, the Magician Academy is also under the control of a giant corporation.

When he opened the package, he found this month's salary, three thousand in imperial banknotes.

With the purchasing power of the empire, these three thousand yuan were not enough to live a life of luxury, but if one ate in the college cafeteria, with three dishes and a soup for each meal, including both meat and vegetables, plus various daily expenses, it would not only be enough to cover the cost, but there would also be three to five hundred yuan left.

As long as you don't have bad habits, you can save enough for a down payment on a house when you graduate.

Lu Xingshi didn't care much about money. His eyes were on the mental floater and the strong mental metal.

This magic device is a composite magic device. It can be used as a weapon-type magic device and can also provide the magician with primary telekinesis abilities. If the magician's qualifications and talents are good enough, he can also obtain additional primary mental power enhancement.

If you have additional primary mental strength enhancement, then after reporting, the contract will be changed from iron level to bronze level.

This is also a representation of potential.

"Use primary telekinesis to control the mental floating cannon, and then use mental power as energy to compress the mental power into a cannonball, and give it high-speed impact and explosion damage."

"Just telekinesis and mental power can only give it a surface effect. Instead, through the magic device, a more powerful energy reaction is formed."

"It's like gunpowder. Sulfur, saltpeter and carbon are just some materials, but when they are combined together, they become different."

"The magic device provides the magician with a way to skip the complicated synthesis process and directly gain power." Lu Xingshi moved his body and then formed a link with the mental floater through his mental power.

Now his body has been restored to human state through ancient powers, and he is still an ordinary human being, but it is just a temporary disguise and he is not a real human being.

But he can still enjoy the treatment of a magician.

As long as he doesn't break his disguise, he is a legitimate magician.

As the links combined, he could feel a surge of spiritual energy entering his brain and stimulating his potential, but it did not enter his actual body, only on the vest.

"Don't mention it, the person I replaced is indeed very talented." What Lu Xingshi used was naturally the physical data of the person he replaced, not his own.

After all, we are trying to stir up trouble, so we must keep our vest tightly covered.

Not only did he activate his primary telekinesis, he also had primary mental power enhancement.

The former is to form a special ability similar to invisible force through mental power, while the primary mental power enhancement is a percentage increase, which can allow the owner to increase the mental power limit, recovery ability, strength, etc. by 5%.

Lu Xingshi gave feedback immediately, and his contract became bronze level.

It’s just that this month’s salary has already been paid, so if you want it you have to wait until next month.

At the same time, it is also to prevent some people from deliberately exploiting loopholes.

Includes new items added to the Bronze Contract.

"So...how do I use this thing?" Lu Xingshi picked up the No. 1 spiritual metal. This thing must be used on the spiritual floater, but he didn't know how to use it.

No instruction manual was given.

"It seems that this is knowledge that is included in the course."

Universal Sky Enterprise is not a nanny, so it is impossible for them to give you everything. The employees they recruit are not giant babies.

If we really hire someone who knows nothing and is a slacker, it will be a real hassle.

It’s not necessary to fire him, but it’s annoying to watch.

As long as the other party does not want to make progress, he can just muddle through in the company.

It is impossible to let him out. After all, once he becomes a magician, he becomes a supernatural being. Once he does something harmful to society, it will affect the company.

Apart from giant enterprises, he guessed that there were most likely no wild magicians.

Even if they did, they would not be able to survive because all magic devices were monopolized by the giant magic device companies.

The magic devices that can be purchased cannot be used as magicians' magic devices to enhance oneself. For example, those life-related magic devices cannot enhance one's strength even if the magician links them.

Even controlling it is difficult.

Just like the type 1 mental floating cannon that Lu Xingshi obtained, in order to control it one needs basic telekinesis ability. Otherwise, pure mental power would not be enough to control it, let alone activate it.

What? Just getting the Psychic Floater will give you the ability to gain primary telekinesis? Forget about it.

The effect of activating the primary telekinetic ability only happens once. Even if someone kills Lu Xingshi and steals it, there is no way to obtain the primary telekinesis and primary mental power enhancement again.

Unused magical devices like this are strictly regulated, and without a certain status, they cannot be circulated at all.

"I remember I have classes tomorrow." Lu Xingshi said, and checked some class schedules through the magic device, Life Puppet, which was responsible for his food and daily life.

This magical device does not belong to him, but to the academy. Its function is to be a multifunctional life puppet that can be used as a chef, cleaner, alarm clock, etc.

Even after the connection, there is no ability, and with Lu Xingshi's current identity, he cannot connect.

Naturally, a magician cannot link magic devices infinitely. They have different upper limits depending on the strength of their mental power and physical strength.

Naturally, geniuses can connect and use more magical devices.

Otherwise, why would the giant magic device company have different contract levels? It is to screen and train more talents.

If we do this, there will indeed be omissions, but there is nothing we can do about it.

What's more, there is no shortage of geniuses in the giant magic device companies. It would be best if we could dig them out, but if we can't, they can't escape from their grasp.

Leaving a big company, growth is a difficult thing.

"Really? It seems that after the contract is signed, the subsequent growth trajectory will also be arranged by the Sky Giant Enterprise."

Lu Xingshi can be sure that nine out of ten of his classmates in the courses he attends are students who have signed the Universal Sky contract.

With unified training and early running-in, a lot of costs can be saved in the future when working for the giant company SkyWorld.
