Chapter 3

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qi Yuan had just poured a glass of water and was about to return to his work desk when he felt an inexplicable chill on his back. He turned around and saw Lin Shu glaring at him.

Lin Shu’s glare was too intense, and Qi Yuan could not bear it.

Lin Shu retracted his glare. He was thinking about whether it was a good idea to attack the Pessimist, Qi Yuan, for no reason because Qi Yuan had not struck him yet.

Although Qi Yuan spread negative energy to his colleagues from time to time, the attack of this negative energy was so weak that few people were affected.

After all, if one was infected with negative energy, they still had their immune system to resist and eliminate it. It was not like their immune system was weak and unable to resist, so they would definitely suffer from the same negative energy symptoms.

Even if there was an impact, it would only be temporary.

Chen Ping looked at the time. It was precisely 5:00 p.m. He stood up and left.

Chen Ping grinned at Lin Shu. His smile was pure and innocent, which carried a yearning for freedom after work.

An Idler has left.

Lin Shu looked at his quest list. He had already finished the urgent work, and there were still some things that needed to be done later. He wanted to get off work and leave.

Just as Lin Shu was about to leave, he noticed that the number of Slackers in the office had decreased. However, another type of monster had emerged…

Level 2 Rat Racer

Skill: Pursue something pointless endlessly and easily infect people with toxicity.

Level 1 Rat Racer

Skill: Pursue something pointless endlessly, and easily infect people with toxicity.

Level 4 Rat Racer…

Level 6 Rat Racer…

Level 29 King Rat Racer

Skill: Pursue something pointless endlessly and vigorously, extremely toxic.

Looking at the chaos in the office, Lin Shu felt a chill down his spine. These monsters were aggressive to a certain extent, and he was afraid.

Lin Shu couldn’t deal with them. He could only try his best to avoid the monsters’ attacks and lower his head to escape.

Lin Shu was even more surprised to learn that hybrid monsters existed.

Some colleagues not only had Rat Racer floating above their heads, but they also had Slacker.

It was a combination of the Slacker and the Rat Racer.

Zhou Quan, who was sitting in the corner, was now…

Level 29 King Rat Racer

Skill: Pursue something pointless endlessly and vigorously, extremely toxic.

Level 20 Slacker King

Skill: Being lazy and pretentious.

Warning: Stay away. It possessed hidden danger!

With the addition of two titles, Zhou Quan leveled up terrifyingly.

Lin Shu glanced at Zhou Quan. Lin Shu couldn’t afford to offend Zhou Quan, so he could only hide.

Lin Shu fled with his head down. However, he did not know that his departure was extremely eyesore to some people. It was as if he was a thorn in their flesh.

BEEP!

Congratulations! You have used Eyesore, a needle piercing the eyes, dealing one point of damage to the Level 1 Rat Racer. You gained 150 Exp. Points and 2.17 Gold Coins.

BEEP!

Congratulations! You have used Eyesore, a needle piercing the eyes, dealing one point of damage to the Level 3 Rat Racer. You gained 190 Exp. Points and 2.27 Gold Coins.

BEEP!

Congratulations! You have used Eyesore, a needle piercing the eyes, dealing half damage to the Level 4 Rat Racer. You gained 175 Exp. Points and 2.20 Gold Coins.

BEEP!

BEEP!

‘Awesome! This is fascinating!’ Lin Shu was surprised. He had no idea that leaving his office without doing or saying anything would cause those Rat Racers damages.

However, King Rat Racer wasn’t hurt at all.

As expected, the monster’s level was different, making it difficult to land an attack.

Lin Shu suddenly thought of something, ‘If I didn’t work overtime in the future and left on time, would I continuously cause a lot of damage to these Rat Racers?’

Just thinking about it made Lin Shu a little excited!

Lin Shu was thrilled. He felt as if he had just discovered a cute sheep. No, it should be a group of cute sheep that could harvest their wool.

‘Of course, the mutual harm between colleagues could not be considered as taking advantage of each other. The Rat Racers themselves were hurting each other. I was just slaying monsters to gain experience.’

Thinking of that, Lin Shu’s mood became even better.

Lin Shu had to think about how to level up and become a high-end player as soon as possible. His level was too low now, and he couldn’t even unlock the Item Mall, making him feel helpless.

Lin Shu had no idea what level he would need to unlock the Item Mall.

Besides Lin Shu’s level, he also needed to save more gold coins.

Most importantly, Lin Shu didn’t know what was so special about the system. He would have to explore it on his own in the future, and he didn’t know how to figure out the system.

“Wait a minute, Lin Shu, why are you walking so fast?”

Qi Yuan called out to Lin Shu and quickly caught up.

Lin Shu didn’t expect Qi Yuan, the Pessimist, would come to him. He didn’t usually have much contact with Qi Yuan.

The reason was that on the first day Lin Shu joined the company, Qi Yuan constantly complained about the company’s lousy conditions and low salary to Lin Shu. It was an awkward moment for Lin Shu.

Qi Yuan asked the newly joined Lin Shu that time why Lin Shu joined the company and told Lin Shu that he shouldn’t have done that.

Although it might be true, it was really awkward for Lin Shu.

“Let’s have dinner together,” said Qi Yuan.

Lin Shu accepted Qi Yuan’s invitation and went with him to the company’s cafeteria.

However, Lin Shu quickly realized that he should have rejected the offer.

It was an invitation, but to put it bluntly, Qi Yuan would complain about the company’s inhumane system, the irritability of life, and the heavy workload.

“The salary of the newly recruited is higher than ours. Even if they are graduate students, we have worked for more years than them. It’s really annoying!

“Most importantly, they ask me everything. Those newbies don’t know anything.

“It annoyed me very much. I should tender my resignation after this,” said Qi Yuan.

‘Resignation, resignation! You could resign 800 times a day! You should just resign!’ Lin Shu thought.

Lin Shu ate his food, not knowing what to say. He knew that Qi Yuan’s love and hate for the company were sadistic.

The company tortured Qi Yuan 800 times, but he stayed in the company without leaving.

Lin Shu glanced at the line of words floating above Qi Yuan’s head and hesitated whether he should use positive energy to attack Qi Yuan’s negative energy.

Level 9 Pessimist

Skill: Negative energy radiation. Infecting people by enveloping them in negative energy.

“You are overthinking. We were also once newcomers. You don’t have much to do recently, right? Even if you do, it’s because our superior thinks highly of you.” said Lin Shu.

Lin Shu thought about what he was going to say, trying to see if it would work on the Pessimist.

“Aren’t you doing fine now? I heard that you’re going to buy a house soon. Congrats, you’re really amazing.”

There was no notification sound of experience points. No reaction at all!

In other words, Lin Shu’s words provoked Qi Yuan.

Danger!

Incoming attack from the Pessimist. A large wave of negative energy surrounds and attacks you to corrode you!

Qi Yuan said unhappily, “Highly my *ss! I’m just an errand boy. I’m so annoyed. Also, the house is so expensive now. How can I afford it? I get annoyed whenever I think about the price of the house. The main thing is that my salary is so low.

“The newcomers’ salary is higher than yours. Even that newbie, Huang Wen, has a salary of ¥10,000, which is higher than yours.”

‘Stop saying that! My heart aches!’ Lin Shu thought.

Lin Shu was originally full of energy, but his good mood had also suffered a blow.

“Our salary is so low, and we have many things to do. We were even asked to work overtime daily; more importantly, we don’t pay for overtime. What’s the point of that?”

Lin Shu sighed and nodded in agreement, “Yup. No point. No point at all!”
