After a hearty meal, everyone's spiritual purity recovered one after another. However, the one who suffered the most was Wen Shi, whose spiritual purity hardly increased at all, as if 101 was the limit.
After determining that only meat dishes could help increase purity, he stopped eating meat.
"Why don't you eat?" Lu Tang ate the meat in big mouthfuls. In order to complete the workload, his purity dropped a lot in the morning and his hallucinations were serious.
Wen Shi: "This meat is not right, it's too fishy."
Judging from the color, a lot of seasoning has been added.
Ji Yuanzhi: "It has the same aura as the heart we are dealing with."
He said it with considerable conviction.
After he said that, everyone looked at the piece of meat and thought of the heart they had processed during the day. A strong feeling of vomiting rose in their throats.
"Just the same scent, not necessarily the same creature." Ji Yuanzhi said, "This piece of meat is purer."
He thought of an appropriate metaphor, and after a moment he said, "It's like the difference between fresh fruit juice and artificial blending. This piece of meat is natural, and natural is healthier."
Meiling Liquid has serious side effects, but these foods should have much less side effects.
"… "
Not comforted at all.
Lu Tang felt a little nauseous. His brain had not yet degenerated to the same level as his muscles, and he always had some bad associations with the Pure Heart Beast.
Ji Yuanzhi still sat there eating calmly.
Wen Shi tapped his fingers on the table twice, pondering the other party's metaphor.
Natural, artificial.
If you only look at the most superficial words, the heart they deal with is related to "humans", and the meat they eat is animals other than humans. He was not sure whether this interpretation was just his own. Wen Shi lowered his eyes and looked at the food on the plate. He had to think of a way to let Ji Yuanzhi slowly let down his guard against him and get the other party's skill information.
Only in this way can you ensure your own safety to the greatest extent. After all, game points are very precious. Although the investment made by the sponsor cannot guarantee a profit, at least it can ensure the value of the investment.
Wen Shi was very curious about what Ji Yuanzhi was planning.
The old employees were eating heartily at another table. Lu Tang didn't dare to eat too much and put down his chopsticks after the hallucination symptoms eased.
It's another working day in the afternoon.
Workshop 2.
From dress to requirements, working here is not as strict as in a workshop.
Tu Bianxi had only practiced in the morning, but now he finally made a bold attempt. He looked at the work schedule posted on the wall and confirmed that Workshop 2 would send someone to Workshop 1 to replenish the stock later.
This is a great opportunity.
Up ahead, Supervisor Zhao was arranging the work progress for later when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. He could clearly feel the entire process of his memory dulling. Supervisor Zhao knocked his head hard, with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to drill through his head.
After he finally felt better, he saw a figure walking towards him. Supervisor Zhao was going to scold the man for leaving his post without permission, but his subconscious told him that he didn't want to do that.
"Let us help you deliver the goods." Tu Bianxi came over with the Seven Commandments members and took the initiative to say, "We can do the physical work like moving things."
After a little hesitation, Supervisor Zhao agreed to his request.
On the way, Tu Bianxi carefully probed: "Aaron's brother..."
As soon as he uttered a word, Supervisor Zhao's subconscious mind began to slip out of control. He began to become irritable, painful, and even distorted... his face was distorted in the physical sense.
Tu Bianxi had to give up asking about these things.
Just half an hour after starting work, Supervisor Zhao came over with Tu Bianxi and a member of the Seven Commandments. The puppet on Tu Bianxi's shoulder was also wearing a roughly cut, ultra-small dust-free suit.
When Haisheng saw Supervisor Zhao, he immediately stood up from the chair in the rest area.
Supervisor Zhao obviously had something to tell him alone, so he asked Tu Bianxi and the members of the Seven Commandments to pull the goods. Each of them pulled a truck and walked towards the cleaning area.
Seeing the players working hard at the sink, Tu Bianxi's smile contained a hint of irony.
Ji Yuanzhi stopped what he was doing, looked at Supervisor Zhao in the distance, squinted his eyes, and seemed to realize something: "Advanced puppet skills, can it be achieved to this extent?"
The players on the same team didn't react at first, until they followed Ji Yuanzhi's gaze and realized a horrible fact: Supervisor Zhao was in charge of the grassroots and was not an ordinary NPC. Tu Bianxi was very likely capable of controlling key NPCs.
Tu Bianxi has never lacked the means to punish people: "Are you still thinking about how to get better grades by slacking off? Forget it, it's impossible."
He spent a lot of points to activate advanced puppetry and manipulate Supervisor Zhao to come here and order Haisheng to keep an eye on every employee.
Unfortunately, the level of control is too shallow to allow Supervisor Zhao to violate the work system. Workshop 2 only comes to Workshop 1 to pick up goods at 4:30 every day. Otherwise, they can be made unable to move in the morning.
Without any warning, in the blink of an eye, Ji Yuanzhi took the whip that was always on Liu Yuan's waist with his left hand, swung it hard, and hit Tu Bianxi directly with great ferocity.
The whole process was so fast that Liu Yuan only felt a gust of wind passing by. When he reacted, Ji Yuanzhi had already swung the whip.
Players are forbidden to kill each other. Tu Bianxi did not expect Ji Yuanzhi to suddenly attack. He could feel that the whip was definitely powerful. He dodged subconsciously and then stopped for some reason. When the whip really got close to him, he met the pair of shrewd eyes under the glasses, and his face changed: "You are playing tricks on me..."
Unfortunately, it was too late. The tail of the whip swept across the puppet's eyes, and yellow water instantly flowed out of the eyeballs that had not been updated for a while.
When Ji Yuanzhi retracted the whip, the airflow caused a few drops of yellow water to splash into the open freezer nearby.
Tu Bianxi cursed inwardly, the workshop obviously paid great attention to hygiene, and the pollution from the smelly liquid was clearly a violation of the rules.
"Warning! Non-workers of this workshop are destroying the environment and hygiene."
"Warning! Non-workers of this workshop are destroying the environment and hygiene."
The smart panel has been modified and is broadcasting continuously.
The doll on Tu Bianxi's shoulder broke into pieces, and in the end Tu Bianxi twisted the doll's head off with his own hands. He was also punished by the rules, and his throat began to itch violently. Vomiting blood would also pollute the environment, so he could only force himself to swallow the blood again.
Liu Yun immediately put the whip back into her backpack. Haisheng and Supervisor Zhao came over with hostile faces when they heard the alarm. Supervisor Zhao was okay, as his consciousness was now partially driven by Tu Bianxi. Haisheng was already furious, and if it weren't for Supervisor Zhao, he would have exploded on the spot.
Ji Yuanzhi was the first to complain: "He accidentally dropped sewage into the freezer..."
A fierce look flashed across Tu Bianxi's eyes.
The sudden drop in favorability made Supervisor Zhao regain some of his self-awareness, and he coldly ordered: "Hurry up and pull up the goods and leave."
Tu Bianxi walked to the end of the conveyor belt with a grim look on his face, put the packaged raw materials on the truck, and left with the Seven Commandments members.
When Supervisor Zhao and Haisheng returned to the rest area, Liu Yun asked in a low voice, "How do you know Tu Bianxi won't hide?"
"Showing off is a boring thing. He came here specifically to put some psychological pressure on us. The skill of the member of the Seven Commandments is [Pressure], which can amplify a person's negative emotions."
Ji Yuanzhi acted too quickly. Tu Bianxi's first reaction must be that he was affected by [Pressure], and he might even have hallucinations and auditory hallucinations. He wanted to punish Ji Yuanzhi by using the dead rule of not killing each other. It was only three seconds before he realized the other possibility, but it was too late.
Ji Yuanzhi picked up the heart again to clean it: "It's a pity that I couldn't kill him completely."
Tu Bianxi's puppet doll took on half of the rules of death.
Liu Yun sighed: "At least his goal was achieved."
After seeing Supervisor Zhao off, Haisheng immediately walked towards the work area and took a blackout board, obviously following the other party's instructions to prevent the new employee from slacking off.
Liu Yun's eyes lit up: "The scores are out?"
Wen Shi was still confident: "Not yet."
"… "
In the morning, the old employee almost finished Wen Shi's work for the day. In the afternoon, he was quite slow in his work. Relying on Jian Qingrong's hard-earned money, Haisheng did not scold him.
With half an hour left before the end of get off work, Wen Shi finally heard the reminder tone after a long wait.
To be exact, everyone received game prompts.
Ding!
The reminder sound appeared very suddenly. Wen Shi and the others subconsciously looked at the time to make sure that it was not time to get off work. The game was more accurate than anyone else's, so it was impossible to end a round of team battle mission early.
"Attention all players, attention all players—"
When Yugi intentionally repeated a certain sentence, it was definitely not a good thing, and everyone subconsciously held their breath.
The cold reminder tone does not carry any emotion:
"From now on, the difficulty of the dungeon [Dachang] will be adjusted from A to S. The A-level dangerous area sanatorium will be open to everyone in advance. Please note that the danger level of this area may be increased to S at any time; please note that there is an unsolvable death rule in the sanatorium; please remember that Dachang advocates beautiful hearts at all times."
A series of attentions makes people feel cold.
"The higher the risk, the greater the reward. [Big Factory] is a treasure map. Explore it actively! After this game ends, the settlement rewards will be increased accordingly."
"Due to the increased difficulty, a special reminder is given: Gatekeeper."
"At 3 a.m., place offerings outside any dormitory building, burn paper money and a strand of your hair, and silently call the guard. You will have the opportunity to communicate with the guard of death. Please note that if your offerings do not satisfy the guard, he will not only come to you, but also take you away."

virtual reality.
[Big Factory] This copy has attracted attention from all parties since it was introduced during the warm period.
The happiest ones were the Puppet Guild. Without spending any points, members and newcomers in the guild placed a copy.
Newcomer, Ji Yuanzhi, one of the best members of the Puppet Guild... With various unstable factors, most players had a vague idea that this dungeon would level up from the beginning. But they never expected that the dungeon would level up after only a day and a half of game time!
There weren't many people in the square, and high-difficulty dungeons usually took a long time. Even the major guilds hadn't sent people to keep an eye on it yet, and were planning on taking action in a few days.
All S-level copies will automatically scroll to the top of the big screen. There are only a few S-level copies currently in progress, and the newly-added [Big Factory] is particularly eye-catching.
Some players couldn't help but move closer to the screen for a second confirmation.
"Why did it... get promoted?"
He took a photo and sent it to the guild urgently. There were several players who did the same thing as him. As usual in the virtual world, news spread quickly, and soon the square was crowded with people.
"Promoted?!"
It’s one thing to receive the news, it’s another to see it with your own eyes.
"Oh my god, look at the player numbers. It's only been a short while and six out of twenty people are already dead."
The increase in the difficulty of the dungeon depends on the degree of exploration.
Often when players explore the dungeon in depth, they will discover some secrets and open hidden maps, which will increase the overall difficulty.
Who can tell them what they can explore in a day and a half? !
A workshop cleaning area.
Haisheng felt uncomfortable in his stomach and couldn't help but go to the toilet.
Zhou Xiaochun's hands trembled, and his heart almost slipped from his palms and fell to the ground. He said with shivering teeth, "I knew... I knew this day would come."
Starting the game on hell difficulty with monsters besieging the dormitory building was an ominous sign.
But in Zhou Xiaochun's plan, they have to wait until at least the middle and late stages of the dungeon before upgrading, and before that they can make full preparations.
Ji Yuanzhi was silent for a moment, then said, "It may not be a completely bad thing."
After the initial shock passed, Liu Yun nodded hesitantly and agreed: "At least we got a key piece of information: the sanatorium is very dangerous."
If these words had not been said, and they had entered the sanatorium at normal pace, they would most likely have chosen to conduct large-scale exploration in the early stages, which would have resulted in their deaths without a burial place.
Wen Shi was surprised when he heard this: "Won't the system give a warning when entering a high-difficulty area?"
The game had given him advance warning when he wanted to go up to the second floor at Frank Hospital.
Liu Yun shook her head: "Unless it's the first time for a new player to play the game, the game will worry about this old lady and give you a warm reminder."
After that, no matter what type of map you enter, even if it is S, the game will just watch you die heroically in silence.
"Hush." Liu Yuan reminded to stop the conversation, "Haisheng is back."
The difficulty upgrade of the dungeon was like a heavy dark cloud, pressing down on the workshop. For a long time afterwards, everyone was unable to concentrate.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the eight-hour work officially ended. Haisheng had not slept for a whole day and night, and now he did not want to stay even a quarter of an hour longer: "Those who plan to work the night shift, go to the guard room to get the night shift duty manual, and gather at the entrance of the third workshop before ten o'clock in the evening."
He did not forget to give everyone a pep talk before leaving: "Young people should not be afraid of hardship. There is no harm in doing more."
No one was paying attention to what he said. As the last second passed, the game started reporting the results of the first round of team battles on time, starting with the second workshop, which had better benefits:
"Player 372543 slacked off and went out for dinner during work, which was worth 30 points. Player 408762 flew a kite on the roof, which was worth 10 points. Player 408266 slacked off and played with his phone during work, which was worth 8 points... The total score for the new employee team 2 was 82 points."
At present, the second workshop is in the leading position. Wen Shi and his team were strictly supervised by Haisheng in the afternoon, and they had no chance to score any points. Fortunately, the second workshop did not open up a particularly large gap in terms of individuals. It depends on whether Wen Shi can make up for it.
Finally, it was Wen Shi's team's turn. The first person to be announced was still the person with the highest score in the team. The first number was very familiar to everyone.
"Player 460872 was slacking off at work and collaborated with others to murder the director of a large factory, which is worth 80 points..."
Wen Shi was stunned.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, Liu Yuan turned his head and asked, "Why are you stunned?"
It's as if it wasn't you who did it.
"I… "
Wen Shi didn't expect the factory manager to be really dead. Although he wanted to kill him, he knew it wouldn't be that easy to succeed. Wen Shi originally just wanted to use Jian Qingrong to deepen the factory manager's infection, but this chief manager turned out to be so fragile? !
No one in Workshop 1 or 2 listened to what the prompt tone said afterwards.
The players in the workshop all stared at the horrible perpetrator with their eyes wide open.
Some people eat snacks on the sly during work, some people play games during work... But how come some people take advantage of their time to slack off and kill their boss?!
Fishing and committing crimes? !
The most terrifying thing is that he also knew how to find an accomplice and create an alibi.
Things have come to this point, and it would be unreasonable not to pretend. Wen Shi coughed lightly and made a calm gesture: "Dear friends, open your mind a little."
He straightened his back and said proudly, "See? The total score of Tu Bianxi's team is only equal to mine."
Before he could finish his words, the cold reminder sounded again in his ear—
"Player 460872, you murdered the judges of this year's outstanding employee selection."
