Chapter 1506 Be Bolder
Chen Mu's brain continued its frantic calculations.
One per minute, then in an hour and a half, that's about a hundred.
He and Xiaoye together can complete two hundred a day.
There are a total of one thousand interviews, which can be completed in five days.
To be honest, five days isn't unacceptable.
It seems... this is a feasible solution?
However, Chen Mu thought about it more deeply, and he picked up a few newspapers and looked at them carefully.
Upon closer inspection, Chen Mu's brows, which had finally relaxed, furrowed again.
No, the interview process wasn't as simple as I thought.
Take, for example, the newspaper that Xiaoye was reading, one sentence of which reads:
Our reporters have arrived in the world depicted in the "Overall Landscape Interview Documentary." It's 10:50 AM now. Today, we won't be conducting interviews, but rather experiencing the details firsthand.
While it may seem like a simple formality, the "details" mentioned are easily overlooked.
For example, he could smell the fragrance of flowers and see birds in the sky. And that's not all; on the fifteenth line of the third page, he also wrote about smelling the fragrance of the toilet.
Chen Mu saw many other newspapers where details were scattered and buried like this.
This means that if you lack experience, or if you're working on a fast-paced assembly line, you'll undoubtedly miss many details.
The safest approach is to read through a newspaper article and even develop an interview plan.
Then, following this line of thought, pay meticulous attention to details to complete the interview.
In this way, relying on an assembly line approach, 1001 interviews are bound to have flaws.
The assembly line approach won't work, meaning that forcibly increasing speed is not an option.
This time, Chen Mu was troubled again.
He sighed, wondering if the newspaper boss knew about Chen Mu's glorious past, being carried in a sedan chair to Wangjiang City at top speed.
So when designing, these are not difficult, but they are scattered and hidden details, deliberately designed to annoy Chen Mu.
Clearly, the newspaper boss succeeded.
Chen Mu was truly disgusted, and for the time being, he didn't have any good solutions.
Xiao Ye, standing to the side, said, "Boss, if we're really going to have to tackle something tough, I'll speed things up. I can be twice as efficient in terms of execution."
Chen Mu shook his head with a wry smile; this wasn't something that could be achieved simply by "rolling" it up.
Furthermore, Xiaoye's interviewing experience is not particularly extensive. It's almost certain that after dozens of interviews, she would inevitably encounter some pitfalls.
The margin for error for Chen Mu and his partner is zero!
One mistake, and the whole game is lost.
Thinking of this, Chen Mu couldn't help but stand up and continue pacing around the room.
He broke free from the shackles of his own thinking and solved the problems in the first city.
Now facing the problem of thousands of interviews, what other ways can I find to solve this problem in an unconventional way?
Chen Mu looked at the newspaper, flipping through it repeatedly, his eyes searching rapidly.
“It’s too much work for just the two of us to do the interviews. If only we could find someone to help us,” Chen Mu sighed. “It’s a pity that this newspaper can only be covered by the two of us. Otherwise…”
Chen Mu suddenly stopped talking to himself at this point.
He carefully recalled the blood-written words that he and Xiaoye had seen.
Not long ago, when this mission began, Bloodletter clearly stated the mission requirements for the two of them.
[Newspaper Mission: As trained intern reporters, you must adhere to the reporter's code of conduct and complete the first draft of this 1001st newspaper. Upon completion, you will pass the test of the Underworld Post Office.]
As Chen Mu recalled the blood-written words, he suddenly realized that the words only stated that the two of them needed to complete this thousand and one first draft.
But the blood letter didn't say that the two of them had to complete it themselves!
You need to follow the interviewer's code of conduct and complete the first draft of this 1001st newspaper...
You need to adhere to the interviewer's code of conduct and personally complete the first draft of this 1001st newspaper...
The difference between having the word "personally" and not having it is huge.
The former simply stated that the two individuals should adhere to the interviewer's code of conduct and complete these initial drafts.
However, just like in the workplace, even though it's the employees who do the work, when the leaders report to the boss, they can say that the leaders completed it.
Who says the person who does the work and the person who finishes it have to be the same person?
As long as it wasn't explicitly stated that they would complete the interviews themselves, it meant that the two of them could find helpers to assist them in the interviews.
This process only requires adhering to the interviewer's code of conduct.
The interviewer's code of conduct only states that the report must be based on true events and that one should not bring in or bring out things in the mirror.
Apart from these two requirements, there are no other requirements.
Chen Mu took a deep breath, turned to look at Xiao Ye, and slowly said, "Xiao Ye, I think we can be bolder. We can create our own locations, not just for the interviews."
Even the interviewers weren't necessarily the two of us. The rules didn't say we couldn't hire help.
Xiao Ye's eyes widened. The boss was bold enough to create a bizarre scene himself to complete the BOSS's bizarre mission.
Is the boss now even planning to outsource interviews?
Seeing Xiaoye's surprised expression, Chen Mu said, "There's nothing we can do about it. When faced with extraordinary problems, we have to be bold and use extraordinary methods."
If you still think in the conventional way, wouldn't you be thinking the same way the BOSS is, and obediently falling into the BOSS's trap?
Chen Mu successfully broke free from the BOSS's mental trap thanks to two bold ideas.
Even the newspaper's boss probably racked his brains but never expected Chen Mu to be so adept at exploiting bugs. He managed to carve out an extraordinary path from a dead end.
"Boss, if we're looking for help, should we use the blood-red slips of paper, or should we directly control the NPCs in the small world?" Xiao Ye asked. After a brief moment of shock, he quickly caught up with Chen Mu's train of thought.
Although the leader's thinking is unconventional, upon closer examination, it is indeed supported by logic and rules, and it is a perfectly viable path!
Chen Mu shook his head. "I've considered both of those options you mentioned, but unfortunately, neither is feasible."
Controlling the NPCs in the small world and having them act as interviewers to help us conduct interviews sounds great, but it's difficult to execute.
Because the NPCs have very little, if any, interviewing experience, they are bound to make mistakes when faced with details in the newspaper.
Moreover, I need to plan ahead how they will act. No matter how capable I am, I can't possibly consider everything and create a perfect action plan for them.
As for the blood-red note, I thought about calling for reinforcements from the watchtower over the river, but the feasibility wasn't very high.
The newspaper's boss had actually anticipated this move long ago.
