‘He has left work!

‘He has left work on time again!

‘He left without looking back!

‘How nice to get off work on time!’

That was what everyone thought when they looked at Lin Shu’s back as he left, and they felt that time out from work on time was a far-fetched moment.

No matter what kind of monster they were, they could only look up at Lin Shu’s back because they did not dare to take that step.

Lin Shu and Tian Cheng were battling in the shadows. After a conversation, Tian Cheng knew Lin Shu’s resignation was a foregone conclusion, and nothing could stop Lin Shu from leaving.

Lin Shu’s mind was only focused on farming for Exp. Points and leveling up.

Lin Shu wanted to use the Wishing Talisman and unlock the Item Mall as soon as possible simultaneously. He was really looking forward to what the Item Mall would have.

Even though Lin Shu’s level was still not high enough, he looked forward to the mystery gifts that would drop the next time he leveled up.

Just like that, Lin Shu was readied for his battle.

Lin Shu continued to work hard in both locations. During the day, he would clock in and work to gain Exp. Points from work, and in the evening, he would study and solve questions to gain Exp. Points revisions.

Fortunately, these two locations were close to each other, so there was no need for a teleportation array.

Of course, if Lin Shu could be rewarded with a teleportation array or an Anywhere Door, it would be great.

‘Does that mean I can teleport anywhere instantly?’

Lin Shu shook off the thoughts in his mind and walked toward the company.

…

BEEP!

Congratulations! You have been working for four consecutive days. You gained 60 Exp. Points and ten Gold Coins.

“Lin Shu, I heard you were called to the workshop to guide the production last night?” Huang Wen asked.

“Yup, I work until 12 a.m.,” Lin Shu nodded and said.

Lin Shu received a call from Zhao Xuan while studying in the dormitory last night. He was asked to follow up on the production of the new product in the workshop.

Huang Wen looked at Lin Shu in shock. That surprised Huang Wen, ‘Lin Shu was already someone about to leave his job, so why did he come back in the middle of the night to work overtime and guide the production?’

Huang Wen asked, “Lin Shu, didn’t you resign and leave soon? Why are you still—?”

Lin Shu glanced at Huang Wen and replied, “It’s a product that I’m in charge of. Naturally, I have to follow up on it. Although I’ve resigned, I’m still on duty. So, I have to do my job well.”

It was as direct and as reasonable as that.

The way Huang Wen looked at Lin Shu had changed. Huang Wen thought, ‘Lin Shu was simply too handsome!’

“It’s not that I completely refuse to work overtime, but I don’t like meaningless overtime. It’s natural to follow up and deal with such a sudden task,” said Lin Shu.

Huang Wen nodded his head in agreement with Lin Shu.

Of course, another critical thing for Lin Shu was the considerable amount of Exp. Points he could gain. When Lin Shu suddenly received a call from Zhao Xuan last night, asking him to follow up and guide the production at the workshop, Lin Shu was displeased for a moment. However, the task and Exp. Points that appeared later on made him very satisfied.

Zhao Xuan’s eyes were also flickering in the office as he looked at Lin Shu.

That was because Zhao Xuan knew Lin Shu had been following up on the scene the entire night. In fact, Zhao Xuan had also called another colleague. Still, that person had directly refused and said that he was outside. Regardless of whether the reason was real or fake, he didn’t expect that it would be Lin Shu, who was about to resign and followed up until midnight.

“Mr. Zhao, there were no problems with yesterday’s trial production. I’ll be leaving soon, so please see those tasks I’m in charge of and assign them to someone so I can hand over the work to him,” said Lin Shu.

Hearing Lin Shu’s words, Zhao Xuan returned to his senses.

As expected, Lin Shu still insists on leaving.

Zhao Xuan glanced at the office. He couldn’t see the monster’s title, so his gaze fell on Huang Wen.

“From now on, Huang Wen will be in charge of your remaining tasks. You can hand it over to him,” said Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan also knew that Tian Cheng had already talked to Lin Shu, but there was no way to change Lin Shu’s mind. He didn’t know if it was because of Lin Shu that he had to resign and leave. Zhao Xuan really felt that it was a pity because Lin Shu was a capable person.

“By the way, we need an evaluation report for the folding machine from last year. I’ve already sent it to you. Do you want to get the department heads to sign it orHuang Wen to be in charge of it?” Zhao Xuan asked.

BEEP!

A request from NPC Zhao Xuan!

Collect the signatures for the equipment evaluation report from various heads of departments.

Reward: 3,288 Exp. Points and 230 Gold Coins.

‘That many Exp. Points?’ Lin Shu thought.

“I’ll do it,” Lin Shu said.

Lin Shu felt that the difficulty of getting the signatures of the various department heads was very low, but it was more time-consuming. It felt like the beginning of a game, where you had to find different NPCs to run errands and receive rewards.

Generally, a regular game’s early stages were running errands. For instance, the lonely old man in the city sends a letter to a single old woman outside the city to express his gratitude. Then, another quest will be going to the blacksmith shop to find Mr. Zhao to forge iron. After that, the character would go to the city to find the village chief Senior Zhao, then to find Mr. Xiao at the silk shop, and then he leveled up on the spot…

Now, Lin Shu had to go to the workshop and get those signatures. After the manager in the workshop had signed, he had to go to the equipment and operation sites. Of course, he had to sign his own name as well. After everyone had signed, only the quest was considered over.

In fact, it was also very troublesome for the head of each department to sign the papers. Lin Shu had to run back and forth. He had no choice because he was not one of the heads and was just a newcomer.

Of course, Lin Shu didn’t level up on the spot. Instead, he just earned some Exp. Points.

Generally speaking, that kind of errand was for newcomers to the game. No wonder his virtual panel wrote that he was a Newbie.

Looking at his experience bar 39100/90000, Lin Shu felt that if he continued to farm, he would be able to level up.

‘I should continue to gain Exp. Points, no, continue to work!’ Lin Shu thought.

…

Pessimist Qi Yuan really couldn’t understand Lin Shu. Qi Yuan thought, ‘Since Lin Shu had already resigned, why did he still perform so well? Is that necessary?’

Qi Yuan couldn’t understand Lin Shu, just like how he couldn’t understand Lin Shu’s resignation before he could find the next company.

To Qi Yuan, Lin Shu was a weirdo, different from people like him.

It bothers Qi Yuan very much that Lin Shu was still working so honestly when he was about to leave.

“Huang Wen, I’ve already sent you the relevant information. Take a look, and don’t hesitate to ask me anything if you don’t understand,” said Lin Shu.

“Alright, thanks, Lin Shu.” Huang Wen nodded.

Qi Yuan looked at Lin Shu and asked, “Lin Shu, do you really have to be so serious? I heard that you worked overtime until midnight yesterday?”

Lin Shu shook his head and said, “It’s nothing. It’s just a trial production of a new product. I’ll hand over my tasks to Huang Wen in the future. You can look for him if you need anything. Of course, You can also look for me while I’m still around.”

Qi Yuan stared at Lin Shu, not knowing what to say.

Lin Shu was indeed an anomaly in the eyes of many people.

It should be said that even earlier, Lin Shu was an anomaly who didn’t work overtime.

Lin Shu looked at the time.

‘It was time to get off work and leave!’ Lin Shu thought.

Probably, the only normal thing around them was an anomaly like Lin Shu could leave work on time on his own.

While the others were still working overtime as usual…

Strange enough, the others were envious of an anomaly like Lin Shu!
