Legend of the Mythological Genes Chapter 47: Opportunity for An Internship

"The Giant Pharmaceutical Company is a famous genetic potions manufacturer in the solar system. They specialized in creating new medicine and potions and were extremely strong financially. Their research and development in this industry far exceed the others in the same industry. This company is located at the Shitai City on planet Mars and is currently specially recruiting geneticist interns. There are sixty positions to be filled, and for those who performed outstandingly, they have a chance to be promoted into perm staff. For those who are keen, please click on the link! The basic salary is: 50,000 star coins…"

This was a recruitment notice posted up on the top recruitment site of the solar system—the Starry Recruitment Web. This post was stickied on the first page and had already been up there for the past two months without being removed yet. Clearly, the number of positions weren't fully filled.

Although it was only a geneticist intern, this was still an intern for a top-ranked occupation. With such a higher barrier of entry, not many people would have the chance to enter.

In addition, manufacturing genetic potions was a job that required stringent precision to the smallest detail. If there was any deviation, the medicinal effect might be greatly reduced or become completely useless.

For this scenario, Feng Lin had personally seen it in the information recorded inside the black microchip before.

In the research note, that genetic researcher named Ayros Lincoln had failed over a thousand times in his quest to create a bubbling blood nutrient medicine. Feng Lin didn't know if he had succeeded eventually or not.

This occupation was one with requirements so high that it would make one shiver.

Hence, although the conditions for the Giant Pharmaceutical Company was extremely good, given how vast the entire solar system, the positions were still not filled up after two months. From this, one could see how difficult the criteria to enter was.

Feng Lin wished to give it a try.

Shitai City in Mars?

Although Mars was somewhat far away, this was no longer the Ancient Earth Era. Interplanetary travel now had already become very common.

At the very least, Mars was still within the solar system. It was one of the planets nearest to earth. Compared to Jupiter, Snake King Planet, Insect Race Planet… Mars was much better in comparison.

In addition, with the existence of passenger space shuttles, such a small distance couldn't count for anything.

He knew about Shitai City!

When humanity started to develop Mars, Mars was still a desolate planet where even water didn't exist. Violent winds would gust frequently, and it was simply a barren ground unsuitable for life.

To make the most use out of Mars's abundant wind energy, the earliest pioneer who explored there had caused a mountain to crumble from waist up using controlled explosives. The remnants of the mountain transformed into a gigantic stone platform, and they built the first city of Mars there. That city was none other than Shitai City.

Since a city could be built there, there was naturally no problems. Feng Lin felt completely moved in his heart.

Although the pay of 50,000 star coins per month was considered extremely generous, that wasn't something he truly cared about.

What he cared about was the fact that the Giant Pharmaceutical Company was the number one genetic medicine manufacturer. If he could intern there, he might be able to learn some systematic geneticist's knowledge.

Did he still need to return to school?

Feng Lin didn't feel the need to do so.

With a vitality stat of 3.3, in Earth High School, he was already considered someone at the top. There was nothing more he could learn there. Why waste time going back there when there was no meaning to it?

Next, all he had to do was to wait patiently for the college examination.

No matter if his head teacher agreed to it or not, Feng Lin was already determined to apply for leave for the following period.

Cultivation was fundamental.

He had already passed the qualification exams, could it be that the school would stop him from participating in the college examination?

One had to know that to a High School, enrollment rate was the priority. A student with good grades would naturally be a treasure that they wanted to have.

For someone of Feng Lin's current strength, he was already no different from those geniuses that were nurtured by the school. His status could be treated as such and hence, it wasn't strange for him to have a little special privilege.

With regards to this point, Feng Lin balanced things very well. He didn't worry at all. Right now, all he had to do was to contemplate seriously about this upcoming interview for an internship position.

This opportunity was extremely rare. So, he must not miss it.

Feng Lin was determined to obtain this job no matter what. The only problem was that he still had to pass an interview. As for those who wished to attempt to sneak through, it was probably impossible.

He naturally would take this seriously. Feng Lin temporarily decided to stop his cultivation and started to revise the research notes he had obtained.

One couldn't help but say that the information recorded in the research notes were all extremely detailed. He didn't feel it was a disadvantage at all buying it for 40,000 star coins.

The information in the black microchip was projected and presented clearly before him. The steps of concocting different types of potions were broken down into elementary steps with concise explanations guiding him. As for the ingredients needed and their usage proportion, everything was stated very clearly.

As one vitality stats increased, the benefits it brought wasn't simply an increase in strength and speed. The speed of their thinking would increase as their brain became more active, also giving rise to an increase in ability to memorize things.

Keeping in mind of the medicine formulas, the step-by-step process of manufacturing them, as well as the precise timing of adding the ingredients, Feng Lin quickly memorized the content in the black microchip thoroughly.

What was pitiful was the fact that he didn't have the money to buy the needed machinery or medicinal ingredients to have a hands-on experience.

He could only forget about that and did his best to memorize all the details. Next, it would have to depend on his ability to display his performance before the interviewers. There shouldn't be a problem if he didn't make any major mistakes.

After this, Feng Lin started to seriously write up a resume and sent it via email to the email box of the Giant Pharmaceutical Company.

An hour later, the company replied, wanting to arrange an interview with him.

With such high efficiency, it could be seen that they were truly in dire need of talented interns to fill up the positions they offered.

"A virtual interview?" Feng Lin felt that things were a little troublesome.

The technology of the Interstellar Era was extremely developed and had formed network points that encompassed the interstellar web. To simplify things, the internet was referred to as the star network.

Using digital technology to form a virtual universe, humans could be networked through the usage of virtual equipments and devices, allowing them to build a virtual body that could move about freely in the star network.

The virtual interview was undoubtedly going to be held in the star network. They wanted him to create a virtual avatar for a face-to-face interview.

What made Feng Lin feel that it was troublesome was the fact that virtual equipments were all extremely valuable and expensive. He didn't have any of them in his home. Moreover, the space there was too small and would be unable to contain it.

With no other solution, Feng Lin could only head to a virtual internet cafe. Such internet cafes were built specially to allow those without virtual equipments in their homes to use a virtual avatar and connect to the star network.

Feng Lin exited his home and soon found a nearby internet cafe.

Although an internet cafe didn't really sound impressive, it was actually a grand building that was over ten stories tall. As Feng Lin exited the elevator and entered the particular floor he had to go, he discovered that different varieties of virtual cabins resembling life capsules could be seen everywhere.

Once a human entered a virtual cabin, their nerves would be connected to the equipment, and they would be able to enter the virtual universe.

For everything that happened within the virtual universe, all feelings and emotions could be simulated 100%. Of course, you could also lower the sensitivity to 60% or to 0%; you could do so according to what you wanted to.

But naturally, the lower the stimulation, the further things would feel when compared to reality

Although entering the virtual universe was an extremely common thing, this was Feng Lin's first time despite him living for so long. After all, his family's background was extremely poor, and they were already very satisfied as long as they could fill their tummies. It was impossible for them to think about entering the virtual universe for leisure.

Feng Lin then paid 10 star coins and booked one of the virtual cabins for two hours. He chose a virtual cabin at an isolated area and entered into it.

The cold metallic wires within connected to his nerve, giving him a light sensation of piercing pain but everything returned to normal at the next instant.

Bzz!

A sharp vibrating sound rang out in his ear.

Multi-colored sparks arcing past like shooting stars appeared in his vision. His body felt a sensation of plunging through the air with great speed into a bottomless tunnel.

This sensation felt extremely unbearable. Streams of data flowed into his mind like unending ocean tides, wanting him to explode from overloading.

However, Feng Lin understood that this was merely an adverse reaction, which his body was having due to him connecting to the virtual universe for the first time.

He didn't panic and maintained his calm, quickly adjusting himself to the sensation. The sensation of falling rapidly gradually stopped, as his feet felt as though they were now standing on solid ground.

After returning to his senses, he was already standing in a boundlessly vast world.
