Chapter 45
“I see. So the second group of players was determined according to where they came from?” Ji Ye muttered after exchanging information with Shang Yan and Jiang Wenming. “Wait, that’s not entirely correct. The criteria is not your ‘current location,’ but the city you think you are from.”
Ji Ye knew this because there were people in the group who weren’t in Yang City when they had been summoned, such as the taller old man who had spent decades living in the capital.
“May I know your name, good sir?” Ji Ye asked politely. He wasn’t going to disrespect anyone just because they looked too old.
The first group of players weren’t only “experienced professionals” but were also between 15 and 35 age-wise. They might be good if their jobs highly relied upon their health condition such as athletes.
But for professions that required wisdom and skills gained through enough time, like medicine, engineering and the arts, someone at 35 was still considered young. In Chidragon, a doctor at the age of 35 barely had much clinical experience after earning a doctorate. There couldn’t be young doctors who were also seasoned.
The conditions of those new players had told Ji Ye that “age” was no longer a requirement for the second group. Being the case, he would be expecting to find true experts and artisans in their lines of work.
“Jiao Changsheng, a mechanic who also did some fuel research before.” The taller old man gave Ji Ye a spirited greeting that made him look several years younger. “The city I studied in had loads of factories and institutes that focused on polishing future engineers so… My job is not exactly rare.”
“Wait… You are Professor Jiao Changsheng from Jyoto University!” Ji Ye uttered.
“Ho, you know me, ‘master’?” Jiao Changsheng meant to tell a joke.
“I used to study there. I even listened to your lecture, sir. Too bad you only presented one during my university years.”
