It’s just a broken heart, is it that serious
On the one hand, Wen Shi felt that Supervisor Zhao was making a fuss out of nothing, and on the other hand, he was surprised that the boy actually ran to the sixth floor.
The Harajuku manager said that starting from the sixth floor, people who lived there were all very important people. Wen Shi couldn't help but wonder if he had underestimated the boy's ability. After all, given Zhao's personality, if he took someone he liked and brought him back, and the person ran away, he would definitely get angry first and then take revenge, instead of crying here.
"Actually, my brother is quite kind." Wen Shi patiently counseled: "Look, he has the ability to find someone better, and he didn't let the next one deal with you."
Supervisor Zhao opened his red and swollen eyes and said, "Really? Then he still has some feelings for me, right?"
Wen Shi: “Yeah.”
Supervisor Zhao: "Then do you think we still have a chance?"
Wen Shi: “Yeah.”
When the wind blew, the tears almost flew onto Wen Shi's collar. Wen Shi took a step back and reached out to help Supervisor Zhao put on his sunglasses.
"My condolences."
He couldn't think of any other words to comfort the other person.
"Follow me!"
Hiding his red eyes from crying, not wanting to be laughed at by others, Supervisor Zhao regained his ferocious demeanor and led the remaining group of people towards Workshop 2. The canteen only provided one meal a day for interns, and new employees did not have breakfast. They had to go directly to the factory to work after getting up early.
As they passed each other, all the employees who were about to go to the second workshop looked at Wen Shi with intriguing eyes.
Wen Shi: "..." What are you looking at me for? It's not like I made him collapse.
Tu Bianxi was relatively calm when he passed by. He looked around at the others, especially at Ji Yuanzhi, and said meaningfully, "You should be very proud now."
Ji Yuanzhi smiled and said, "Congratulations to you for forming an ideal team."
This was something worthy of congratulations, but in comparison, the result of Tu Bianxi's full efforts was inferior.
Zhou Xiaochun was still shocked by the previous incident: "Your brother is a little wild."
Also, this Supervisor Zhao is actually a love-brained person.
Wen Shi was not on the same wavelength as him, and figured out how Tu Bianxi manipulated the team formation results: "It's an IOU."
Zhou Xiaochun subconsciously asked, "What IOU?"
Wen Shi: "You didn't go to Haisheng to ask for the Beauty Spirit Liquid, right?"
At that time, there were two players who were confident that they could survive the night and did not follow everyone into the factory a second time.
Zhou Xiaochun nodded: "I did some divination before I went, and the result showed that even if I didn't borrow money from the loan shark, I would have a 90% chance of surviving the first night."
He was very generous in revealing his personal skills. Almost all players in the virtual world had exposed their skills. However, there were very few people like Wen Shi and Ji Yuanzhi who had no clues to speculate on so far.
"Cool." Wen Shi praised his skills, and then said, "This is the problem. The loan sharking project was a conspiracy between Supervisor Zhao and Haisheng. The welfare benefits of the second workshop are better, so he must give priority to the new employees who owe more debts."
This way, they can ensure that they can pay back the Meiling Liquid as soon as possible. After all, Supervisor Zhao also has a share of the benefits in the business of borrowing one and paying three. As for scheming, Tu Bianxi is arrogant but indeed very strong. He chose to owe a debt obediently, probably because he expected this.
I'm afraid it's not just the members of the Seven Commandments. Tu Bianxi also privately hinted to the other people who went to the second workshop to borrow more. In other words, the game said that the NPCs assigned the team for the group battle, but in fact, the players on Tu Bianxi's side were selected by himself. As for Wen Shi, Tu Bianxi wanted to bring him into the team and torture him slowly, but unfortunately both sides were on guard, and Tu Bianxi knew it would be difficult to persuade Wen Shi to owe more debts.
Zhou Xiaochun had a complicated expression: "No wonder we formed the most speechless team in history."
The most speechless
Wen Shi raised his eyebrows. Where did this come from
Zhou Xiaochun sighed and glanced at the player with a blank expression. "That Zhang Suihe has a skill called [Slacking]. This skill is very suitable for this dungeon. When more people perform the same task, if the player is lazy or fails to meet the task requirements, there is a certain probability that he will be ignored by the NPC and avoid punishment, but the corresponding..."
Wen Shi had an expression that said, "I understand." This skill's contribution to the team is almost zero.
Zhou Xiaochun continued: "I heard that Lu Tang is an attack skill."
Wen Shi looked at the twin sisters he had never mentioned.
"My sister and I have the skill [Bubble]." The two looked at each other, and Liu Yun said bluntly: "As the name suggests, when you encounter danger, you can hide in the bubble. As long as you don't encounter an opponent above the level of a demon, you can be immune to all damage for 30 seconds."
Wen Shi: "Can others enter the bubble?"
Liu Yun shook her head.
"..." Very good, the number of skills that are useless to the team has increased.
Liu Yuan stood behind her sister and asked Wen Shi curiously, "What are your skills?"
Everyone looked at him, even Ji Yuanzhi looked at Wen Shi, obviously very curious about this question.
"Lucky star." Wen Shi said in a normal tone: "The more difficult the task, the higher the success rate of skill activation."
Liu Yun asked suspiciously: "As far as I know, there is no such skill in the game."
Wen Shi said calmly, "It's just that you haven't seen it, otherwise how can I succeed in refining corpses?" Liu Yun's doubts disappeared a little. The existence of wandering corpses was very convincing. The success rate of refining [Spirit Coffin] was only 30%. If you were not very lucky, it would be impossible to succeed.
Ji Yuanzhi pushed the frame of his glasses, but he had no intention of speaking. He was a big shot who had successfully survived a 3S dungeon and several S-level dungeons. Ji Yuanzhi didn't want to speak, and no one dared to force him.
There was still some time before work started, and after everyone exchanged phone numbers, Ji Yuanzhi suggested: "Let's choose the captain first."
Everyone fell silent. Everyone would be tempted if the captain had extra benefits.
Liu Yun and Liu Yuan looked at each other. They didn't need to say anything. If they couldn't reach a consensus in the end, they would vote for themselves and the two sisters would definitely make money.
Zhang Suihe was slightly weaker in ability and knew he couldn't win, so he continued to let go.
Lu Tang: "I will choose whoever gives me more points."
The special rewards of copy A must be amazing. Even if he doesn't compete for the captain's position, the points should still be appreciated.
Ji Yuanzhi had anticipated such a situation. Players were driven by profit, and the temporary team was inevitably divided.
His tone was calm, yet full of oppression: "Let me remind you, some money is earned by those who are lucky enough to get it, but not by those who are alive to enjoy it."
A team battle is a matter of life and death. If one prospers, all prosper; if one suffers, all suffer.
Lu Tang: "You can't scare us. Even if we all vote for you, you may not give your all to lead the team to victory."
[Immunity] and [Right of Inheritance] are simply encouraging the captain to lure and kill his teammates.
This was also the reason why Zhou Xiaochun thought that this team combination was the most speechless. Because Pei Wenwei was in it, in order to obtain all the clues about the 3S copy from the opponent, Ji Yuanzhi, who was most capable of leading the team to victory, was likely to deliberately let the team battle fail.
Lu Tang added: "I suspect your skills are similar to Zhou Xiaochun's, similar to the ability to predict the future, otherwise why would you spend a huge amount of money to auction off a team spot?"
Although Tu Bianxi deliberately provoked others before leaving, he did succeed in planting a thorn in everyone's heart.
When the atmosphere was a little tense, an inappropriate voice sounded, and Wen Shi frowned: "How do you talk to my father?"
Ji Yuanzhi nodded and said, "Not bad, it was not in vain."
"…" Lu Tang twitched his lips and said to Wen Shi: "You are really optimistic."
Isn't the one who should be most worried about Pei Wenwei himself
Wen Shi was very enthusiastic. After making sure that everyone had expressed their opinions, he thought it was his turn. He raised his arm and suddenly began to speak: "Are you all crazy? You actually want to work honestly for a shady factory. How much work and effort do we have to put in to get a spot?"
"I believe you have witnessed the strong strength of my brother and I. On our first day, we almost caused a fight between two men at the dormitory door. As long as we continue to perform steadily, who will be the outstanding employee and what the promotion channel is will only take a word from the judges!"
Wen Shi raised his voice: "Everyone, please think carefully. Do you want to work until you die, or rely on my connections?"
The completely unexpected statement caused everyone to be silent for a moment.
Liu Yun's expression was indescribable: "He seems to be living in a different world from us."
Liu Yuan agreed: "I feel it."
Everyone was worried about the internal strife caused by the [right of succession], and only this newcomer was giving a serious speech.
In the suffocating seconds, Liu Yun rubbed his brows and said, "You are good-looking."
"Just good?"
"… Well, you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen."
Liu Yun did not mention Wen Shi’s younger brother. In her opinion, he was an NPC.
"But a dungeon won't provide you with easy access just because of your appearance," Liu Yun said matter-of-factly. "Being invited to stay by NPCs and being in the best employee selection can't be generalized."
Supervisor Zhao is greedy for money and sex, so it is not difficult to take advantage of this and let him invite people to live in the dormitory. However, this is a horror game, and the selection of the best employee is not a simple transaction of power and sex.
"You are still too young and don't know how to take shortcuts." Wen Shi looked heartbroken.
Liu Yuan couldn't help but say, "You are the youngest."
"So I'll let you eat my youth meal." One person's effort brings benefits to the whole team. Why don't these people understand that
"… "
Of course, Wen Shi didn't expect to be able to impress them directly with this nonsense: "Why not wait until the day's work is over and then we can vote together."
He just wanted to delay time and find another way out.
The big factory is the prerequisite copy of the special 3S copy. He holds the world fragments in his hands, and sooner or later he will have to play the 3S copy, so he must firmly grasp any rewards that may appear in this copy.
Ji Yuanzhi glanced at his watch and said, "Let's go into the workshop."
The implication was that he agreed to the proposal.
Wen Shi gave a thumbs up: "The sponsor is very generous."
The structure of the first workshop is very different from that of the third workshop. After entering, there is an abandoned office area with cardboard boxes and other waste piled on the operating table. Then there is a narrow passage. At the end of the narrow passage, an access card is required to enter further. At present, all they can do is wait for the old employees to come.
The work started at 8 o'clock, but the first employee didn't arrive until 7:45. He had a swollen face and a crooked nose. One of his arms was in a cast, and it looked like he had been beaten up.
"Haisheng."
Except Zhou Xiaochun and Zhang Suihe who did not go to write the IOU, everyone else has seen him.
"I will guide you during the internship period." Haisheng accidentally touched the injured corner of his mouth, and he hissed while covering his cheek.
Normally, he can have a day off after working the night shift. This time, he took the initiative to apply to supervise the interns.
First, in order to get more wages, Haisheng urgently needed money to buy beauty liquid and could not wait for the interns to pay back their debts. Second, he wanted to find the person who beat him yesterday. Haisheng squinted his swollen eyes and tried to see the faces of each new employee, especially the two women.
He remembered that the person who beat him yesterday was a woman with a very sweet and coquettish voice.
"You guys, say something."
"What?" they both said in unison.
Haisheng covered his mouth: "Not coquettish enough, not sweet enough, it's not you."
"… "
There were no other women present, and he suddenly felt angry. Who on earth had beaten him? !
The culprit was standing in the crowd with an innocent look on his face, boredly looking at the slogan on the wall: "Beautiful You and Me, Love Fills the World". Not wanting Haisheng to continue to dwell on the issue of assault, Wen Shi changed the subject and asked: "We're going to work at 8 o'clock, why aren't there so many people here now?"
A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Haisheng's face: "Being lazy, everyone likes to go to work late."
Wen Shi said in a half-joking tone: "I thought there was a monster in the workshop, and everyone was scared and didn't dare to come."
Ji Yuanzhi chuckled in cooperation.
Haisheng's expression turned completely ugly. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
In any case, Haisheng was panicked by this sentence and was not in the mood to find out who was beating him.
It was a hot summer day outside, but the temperature in the factory was very low. Haisheng fastened the top button of his work clothes tightly. His throat was a little swollen and uncomfortable, so he had to turn his neck from time to time. However, the itching feeling was too intense, so Haisheng stretched his nails into his collar and scratched it. After a while, he let out a satisfied sigh.
His fingernails were full of blackened flesh and emitted a faint foul odor.
Haisheng seemed to be unaware of this and opened the door at the end of the narrow passage. "Preparatory work needs to be done in the early stages. Your access cards have not been applied for yet. I will check the attendance every day. If I find someone late..."
There was a strong threat in the sneer.
Behind the door is the dressing room, and behind the dressing room is another door.
Haisheng gave each of them a set of cleanroom clothing and urged them to put on hats and masks before he opened the second door. Before entering the raw material processing area, they had to take turns to go to the air shower room for full body sterilization. The whole process took about five or six minutes.
The old employees came in one after another and lined up to use the air shower room. The skin of the older ones was also very smooth, and their gloomy eyes and gray skin color always gave people an unhealthy feeling.
The whole workshop is full of third-class workers, but a higher-ranking official can crush people. Facing these old employees, the player, as an intern, is still very nervous.
Zhou Xiaochun lowered his head and said, "Based on my many years of experience as a worker, you should never look directly at someone, to avoid being noticed and asked to help with other things."
Wen Shi not only looked at each other, but also scanned the people present like a scanner. Aren't they all residents of the fourth floor? They are all acquaintances!
He turned to look at his teammates, "One last confirmation, are you really not going to rely on me for my youth?"
Everyone just took it as a joke and shook their heads.
Wen Shi sighed, you are young and don’t know the benefits of having a free lunch, you are so confused!
Some dormitories have single rooms, and of course there are rooms for two or three people. According to the list, not counting the elderly, there are nearly fifty residents on the fourth floor. They are all employees of a workshop. There are about twenty people here now. Some of the workers who are not on duty are taking turns to pick the fruits, and the other part is responsible for transporting the raw materials.
When the old employees saw Wen Shi, they gasped in shock. They were so scared last night, but now they found out that the person who "sweeped" the fourth floor was actually a new employee, and their expressions were so interesting.
Wen Shi blinked and mouthed "Hi".
Zhou Xiaochun didn't notice this subtle interaction, and thought these old employees were surprisingly friendly. Normally, in this type of copy, the NPCs would definitely put on airs in front of the newcomers.
Zhou Xiaochun: "I think they are nice people."
Wen, the night shift dormitory manager, smiled shyly and said, "I am carrying the burden for you."
Start work at 8 o'clock, and the real work starts at 8:20.
At ten o'clock, a truck was unloading at the door of the workshop, and several workers in protective clothing carried several large boxes in. After unloading the goods, they left in a hurry without staying for a moment.
Haisheng called out to the old employees: "Hurry up and bring the things over here! What are you all standing there with your legs tucked under?"
After drinking it, he did not forget to use it as a negative example to warn new employees: "Don't be like these idiots. If you want to stand out, work hard and strive to be transferred to the second and third workshops as soon as possible."
Wen Shi agreed: "They don't look very smart."
"It's developmental retardation." Haisheng said nonchalantly, "My family is poor, and I used the first edition of the Beauty Spirit Liquid on my newborn baby, which is why it's like this."
Wen Shi pretended to sigh: "What do these parents think?"
Haisheng began scratching his body again. "It is said that doing this can protect children from pollution before they reach adulthood, saving a lot of money, but the side effects are huge. They become stupid and can't do delicate work, and they become as thin as bamboo poles. The factory manager is kind enough to take them in to process raw materials and give them a job."
In fact, the employees inside the factory knew very well that the real reason was for cheap labor.
Wen Shi followed up by asking, "What about Jian Qingrong?"
The old ghost said that Jian Qingrong was the victim of the first generation of Meiling Liquid. But although he looked a little dull, it had nothing to do with stunted development.
As soon as he heard the name Jian Qingrong, Haisheng's eyes started to roll around, and it was obvious that he was up to something bad.
"He used to work in Workshop 1. Because of the burn accident, the factory director transferred him to Workshop 2, where the work was relatively easier. Until a year ago, Kang Changming from Workshop 3 died in an accident. Not long after, Wang Wei, who was transferred here, also died of illness. No one was willing to take over the remaining work on their hands, so the factory director finally transferred Jian Qingrong to Workshop 3."
These two people were mentioned in Jian Qingrong's diary. Wen Shi didn't know whether to call the diary the death diary or Jian Qingrong's promotion diary.
Seeing that Haisheng answered every question, Zhang Suihe couldn't help but interrupt and ask, "How can I get promoted quickly?"
"Just work hard." Haisheng waved his hands impatiently, not wanting to say more. Just at this time, the old employee had already skillfully moved the things out of the box, and a fishy smell that only seafood markets can have instantly spread throughout the workshop. He actually raised his head and took a deep breath with enjoyment.
There were dozens of refrigerated and insulated boxes in the box, which were all transported to the cleaning area on a cart at once.
Zhang Suihe was helpless: "It seems that he doesn't like me very much."
Wen Shi didn't think that Haisheng was willing to respond because he found clues in Jian Qingrong's diary. Otherwise, with so many accidents in the factory, why did the other party mention Kang Changming and Wang Wei
The system prompt sound confirms this -
"Congratulations on successfully learning about Wang Wei's past. As a reward, you get to meet him once."
"… "
Wang Wei is a dead man, and you call seeing him a reward?!
Haisheng actually didn't have much good feelings towards Wen Shi. For some reason, Haisheng always felt that this person was familiar, especially the expression and tone when he spoke, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"By the way," Haisheng turned around and warned Wen Shi fiercely, "The factory prohibits employees from dating each other. Don't just take advantage of your pretty face to hook up with random people."
Not far away, the old employees looked at each other, and the resident of Room 406 winked at his roommate: Did you see that
The roommate nodded to indicate that he saw it.
They actually dared to scold the dorm manager as a pretty boy. They looked at Haisheng with meaningful eyes: … You’re going to lose your dick.
"Come here!" Haisheng shouted at the interns.
Wen Shi and his friends stood next to a huge square sink, which almost took up half of the workshop. Haisheng demonstrated to them how to clean.
I saw him put on sterilized gloves and open the lid.
Inside the freezer, there were fist-sized hearts, with a butter-like paste clogged the sides, and vesicles forming next to them with white flocs swimming in them.
insect.
This was everyone’s first reaction.
Haisheng noticed Zhou Xiaochun taking a step back and scolded him, "Stand closer."
These hearts were not frozen solid, and where he pinched them with his five fingers, he could see obvious dents. Haisheng kept swallowing his saliva, hungry green light flashing in his eyes. He forced himself to resist the urge to eat. He introduced: "You must have heard the saying that you are what you eat. The Meiling Liquid was originally called the Purifying Liquid, which helps people purify their hearts. What you see now are the hearts of a kind of Purifying Beast raised in the sanatorium."
Wen Shi raised his eyebrows at Ji Yuanzhi and said in a very light voice: "Father, what do you think?"
Ji Yuanzhi: “He’s talking nonsense.”
"There are three principles for cleaning. First, clear the internal blood clots," Haisheng first scraped off the buttery paste. During this process, he was very careful not to puncture the vesicles inside. Then he used a knife to cut open the large blood vessels, took out the blood clots, and squeezed them a few times. Dark red blood sizzled out. "Second, do not intentionally damage the raw materials. Every year there are always idiots who deliberately drop them on the ground or throw them around. The third and most important rule is not to steal the heart!"
As if worried that they might not remember it well, Haisheng repeated it again.
"Each person must clean at least one hundred alien hearts every day. Fifty yuan will be deducted for each damaged heart. New workers will be paid sixty yuan a day, daily. The two days of the probation period will not be included in the salary, except for the night shift. There will be overtime pay for those who volunteer to work the night shift." Haisheng looked at the watch. It was exactly eight twenty, so he ordered everyone to start working.
It took Haisheng about five minutes to clean a heart. Because it was a demonstration, his movements were a little slower. Once he became proficient, he could handle one heart in about four minutes. If he didn't rest, he could finish all the work in seven hours.
The lights in the cleaning area were on very brightly, but Haisheng couldn't stand the strong light, so after giving each of them ten freezer boxes, he went to the rest area with his hands behind his back.
Zhou Xiaochun: "Can I go to the Labor Bureau and sue him?"
Despite such a heavy workload, I was not paid for the first two days.
Zhang Suihe's facial features twisted for a moment, and he came back to his senses from his empty state, muttering, "I don't feel like going to work, I just want to slack off."
Wen Shi also sighed.
God owed him a day shift dormitory management job, and he wanted to stay in the dormitory building, he really wanted to.
Liu Yun is quite open-minded: "It's easy to imagine the game's routine. First, the players' labor force is exploited, then their living space is exploited, and finally their survival time is exploited."
From the perspective of time and space, it is bound to kill a person.
She wanted to spit. All the black-hearted capitalists deserved to die!
However, at this moment, Yugi's uncharacteristically enthusiastic voice rang in everyone's ears—
"Congratulations on passing the interview and surviving a night in the dormitory. This officially marks the beginning of your first day of probation. Today is also your first day on your journey to becoming an outstanding new employee!"
"To be a good employee, first of all, you must complete the day's workload on time."
"Secondly, proper slacking is one of the essential skills for mature employees. Please try to slack off for at least 15 minutes before the end of the work day and do what you want to do. For example, if you successfully drink water, you will get one point; if you successfully go to the toilet and come back alive, you will get seven points; if you play with your phone for ten minutes in a row, you will get eight points... In short, the system will intelligently score anything you do."
"Please note that the scores are not cumulative. In the end, only the highest score will be taken. If you successfully drink water, go to the toilet and play with your phone at the same time, the final score will be eight points."
"Please note that once you are caught, your score will be reset to zero and you will need to try again."
"Please use your creativity to your heart's content! Challenge the most impossible slacking off!"
In the silence of everyone, the prompt voice continued to broadcast excitedly—
"At the end of the day, the team with the lowest total score will have their collective spiritual purity reduced by ten points, and will be required to vote to expel one member from the team."
"Reminder: You cannot expel the member who contributes the most to the team."
"I wish you all a happy working life."
