 Chapter 472 Recruitment

   ! ? Recruitment announcement! ?

A weather-beaten wooden plaque was inserted at the entrance of the "Recruitment Channel", with rather exaggerated calligraphy and paintings on it, and various exclamation marks and question marks as the background.

   ! Our circus currently has a large number of job vacancies and is urgently recruiting idle people from society (of course, we also welcome employees who want to change jobs (^_-), but there are no privileges here, whether you are an ordinary person or a person from an epidemic area) Nobles, the recruitment standards will not change!)

 The current recruitment positions are listed in terms of difficulty as follows:

  1. Receptionist (Yi) - Mainly responsible for reception of the audience, disciplinary management of the audience stand, maintaining the order of the audience during the circus business, and giving strict punishment to the audience who do not comply with the rules when necessary. In addition, you need to be responsible for the cleaning of the venue after the performance to ensure that the circus is absolutely clean.

 (If you can work as a receptionist for 50 years and never receive a "failure" in the monthly evaluation, you will be promoted to the management of the circus.)

  2. Kitchen servant (Yi) - Responsible for delivering various external food sources to the back kitchen, cleaning, disinfecting, cutting and packaging, and responsible for all cleaning work in the back kitchen.

 3. Ordinary members of the acrobatic troupe (medium) - will be assigned to the corresponding acrobatic troupe No. 1, 2, and 3 according to individual characteristics, and will need to conduct training and rehearsals every day.

  6. ​​Magician Assistant (Extremely Difficult) - Those who are required to have good appearance and temperament, and possess magic-related abilities such as illusion, thaumaturgy, and sleight of hand can join the job after passing the review of the magician team.

(After ten magic performances, if you "collect" enough audience "emotions" without making any mistakes, you can complete the transformation, and the circus will give you the opportunity to perform alone later)

 …(In addition to the above six, there are many positions that are recruiting)

   ! As long as you can pass the recruitment review, you can become a member of the circus, receive absolute protection and no longer have any material concerns. The circus will also provide training services through different channels to assist members in open source, channel search, etc.

  (^_-)We welcome everyone to sign up and join our big family.

 …

After reading the recruitment announcement, William basically had the answer in his mind, but he was not in a hurry to go in. He also turned his head towards the audience channel to look at the "Audience Instructions" there.

The above content is also very interesting.

  1. Anyone who accepts the invitation of the circus can enter as a spectator without any examination or payment of any fees.

  2. Please look for an empty seat immediately after entering the venue, sit down within five minutes and keep your posture as straight as possible.

  3. After taking your seat, if the previous performance has not ended yet, you can choose to close your eyes. After the next game starts, you need to keep watching the whole process, and the visual field deflection rate of each subsequent performance must not be higher than 5%.

  4. It is forbidden to make noise and change places. If you have any physical needs, please call the receptionist and they will help.

 5. As long as the audience meets the above conditions and watches the performance for more than six hours, they can receive a generous reward and a letter of recommendation from the circus. A letter of recommendation can allow you to enter most epidemic areas, organizations and obtain permanent status.

"It's a very tempting offer. You can get this opportunity to change your identity just by watching a performance... but how many people can leave the circus? From the rumors, it seems that no one has ever left the circus, whether it is an audience or an applicant. By.

 Obviously, this six-hour limit is extremely difficult to achieve.

 How will those who fail to reach the six-hour audience be dealt with? Send it to the kitchen, or throw it away as trash? Or are they made into props for various performances? "

Although William was interested, he was not prepared to waste these six hours.

Even if he passes, it won't mean much to him. Now he can visit most of the epidemic areas without a letter of recommendation. What he wants is to have in-depth contact with the circus and obtain information about "unknown paths".

 Walking into the deserted "recruitment passage" and stepping into the circus tent like a dark castle.

Unlike the viewing platform where the audience goes directly to the inside of the circus, when the black curtain is lifted, a dark passage like a mouth is in front of them.

The leather shoes stepped on the tongue-covered floor with saliva, and when he reached the position where the tonsils were hanging, he felt like he was facing an endless abyss.

Just when William was hesitant to jump in,

A black and white stocking was quietly stretched out to his back. William was not aware of this process, and did not even notice the overall vision of Little Grape.

 Kick lightly.

This piece seems to penetrate the clothing and stick directly to the back. You can clearly feel the feeling of the stockings and the soles of your feet touching your back, which is cold and soft.

 “Catherine!”

 By the time William reacted, he had already fallen into the abyss of the esophageal structure and kept falling.

Looking up, you can only see a black and white foot stepping on the edge of the tongue coating.

   『I didn’t notice it at all? Compared to the nightmare incident, I am much stronger now, and my perception has also improved... It is not a nightmare now, Catherine can be completely invisible and close to me.

 Is it because of environmental interference from the circus, or has Catherine already completed her path? 』

While William was thinking, Duang made a sound and his body fell into a metal cage.

  Ka~Ka~Ka~

 Spotlights lit up in front of William, illuminating ten recruiters, who randomly wore poker masks on their faces, or "poker faces."

 The points are all below ten, and the colors are random.

"New applicant, which job do you want to apply for? Currently, our receptionist and acrobatic troupe are both in short supply, and the application requirements are relatively low. I suggest you choose these two."

 “I want to apply for a job as a magician’s assistant.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the colors and numbers on the recruiter’s face began to move randomly.

"Are you sure? No one has successfully applied for this position in the past ten years. It is extremely difficult. Once the application is confirmed, it cannot be changed."

"I am sure."

“Then first perform the prerequisite test of the magician’s assistant. Take off your clothes and show us your image.”

However, William did not take off his coat,

 He just took off the scarf and folded it at his feet.

 Arrange your tie and make a gentleman's bow.

“Clothes are my skin, this is my image expression.”

Facing William's answer, the recruiters nodded after communicating with each other, "Please show us a magic performance. Illusion, thaumaturgy, and sleight of hand are all acceptable."

 “I’ve finished my performance, haven’t you noticed yet?”

Just when the recruiters looked at each other, William, who was trapped in the iron cage, snapped his fingers.

Snapped!

In a blink of an eye, he was standing in front of all the recruiters, with his hands on the table, and the silver hair above his smile was slowly fading away.

The recruiters had no idea when the young man in front of them had escaped from the iron cage.

William actually used two methods here. Silver Moon's visual illusion combined with the new teleportation he just learned, basically did not consume much energy to achieve this simple 'escape magic'.

 “No…good, the prerequisites have been passed! Please follow us next, you will go to the Magic Zone to undergo the real entry review.”
