Chapter 296 The Diligent Emperor Used as Cannon Fodder (Part 21) Regarding Lin…

The palace had heard of Lin You, the cannon fodder rescue system. He was a newcomer with little ability but good luck who encountered several capable mission targets and got by by flattering and ingratiating himself.

Unexpectedly, she can now sit on equal footing with me and even boss me around. It turns out that her so-called kindness was only directed at those who were useful to her.

Gong Ting's eyes were cold, but his words were timid and obsequious: "Miss Lin, Boss Lin, I'm really sorry. I've never done anything like this before, crossing so many worlds. It's my first time doing something like this, so some mistakes are inevitable."

"Please, have mercy and help me this one more time. It wasn't that difficult for you to complete that task anyway. I can always be more careful next time. If you report me to the administrators, I'm afraid I'll be stripped of my status and demoted back to the small world."

Everyone says that Lin You is kind-hearted, and she will lend a helping hand to even strangers from some small world. Gong Ting, on the other hand, was eating the fruit next to Lin Lin with a cold face, while describing himself as extremely miserable.

Just when he thought Lin You would be like the previous times, grumbling and cursing while cleaning up his messes, since this time it wasn't much different from the previous ones.

After all, they are women, and they always have some useless emotions. They also love to save some beautiful, strong, and tragic, or innocent and stupid men, in order to show off their great maternal brilliance.

Just when the palace thought the situation was under control, Lin You saw his reply and immediately ignored the chat box, contacting the administrator privately instead.

With such blatant manipulation and moral blackmail, does the court think no one can see through it, or does he simply not realize there's anything wrong with what he's saying?

Lin You sent a message to the administrator, which was simple and clear. It described how the court had gone from not explaining the subsystem's mode at the beginning, to making excuses when asked to locate the subsystem but being unable to find it, to claiming to be an assistant but doing nothing on a daily basis, and now deliberately giving the subsystem extra energy, causing trouble and making things worse, among other bad behaviors.

"Have you really figured out the real reason why the subsystem was lost? As a long-time employee, how could you make such a simple mistake?"

Can someone who's seen so much of the world really be that naive and simple-minded? They're really trying to fool themselves by pretending to be simple-minded.

However, Lin You could somewhat understand why the court would look down on him so much, after all, the court was the creator of the first cheat system he used.

The creator of the cheat system can use it to check the progress of the mission. The Lin You that the palace saw back then was a newbie who could only vaguely understand the system terms and was completely carried by Chu Nanfeng to victory.

From then until now, it has only been a little over a decade. For other mission takers, it would only take one or two missions, and for veteran employees like the Palace, it would be over in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that Lin You was no longer replying to messages, Gong Ting sent a few more flattering words and then ignored her, continuing to focus on his two subsystems.

If Lin You were there, he would have realized that he was not the person he claimed to be who couldn't even find the exact location of the subsystems; he was clearly still able to control their actions.

When the manager saw the well-organized report sent by Lin You, he initially thought that the palace was just being careless and trying to get by.

Just as I was about to find Lin You a new partner and increase the punishment for Gong Ting, I saw the new comparison report she sent.

The example used was Xiao You, the newest employee in the headquarters office besides Lin You, and included a series of operational data about Xiao You's improvements to the cheat system in cross-world scenarios.

Comparing this with the actions of the court over the past few months, it becomes clear that the other party is not only taking advantage of the chaos, but is also deliberately interfering with the mission.

The manager couldn't help but frown. He knew the temperament of the employees in the general office, of course. Although Gong Ting was jealous of his colleagues and said some sarcastic things, he didn't expect her to do such a dirty trick.

The manager mentally added another charge against the palace, then appropriately appeased Lin You and assured her that after completing this mission, she would definitely be promoted and receive a raise, and it would certainly be a position she liked.

Of all the worlds Lin You has traveled through, the one who had the most profound influence on her personality was actually Chu Nanfeng from the first world, who patiently taught her cunning and strategy.

Chu Nanfeng once said that even if you don't understand it at the time, you should write it down. As you experience more in the future, you will eventually understand what it means.

For example, Lin You understands now that cutting weeds means removing the roots. When you decide to offend someone, you must be absolutely certain that you can completely suppress them and leave them no chance to recover.

With a notification ring, the administrator received another document, this time a trial report submitted by Chu Nanfeng from over a decade ago when Lin You tested the golden finger of the palace.

Following this was the palace's explanation for the subsystem's escape, saying that the subsystem code was modified because of Lin You's trial report, resulting in a batch of original subsystems waiting to be destroyed, and screenshots of conversations that he casually left unattended and which were then stolen.

Lin You finally pointed out another point of doubt: when she was trying out the palace's cheat system, the progress bar of the cheat system was increased by the favorability rating, but the two cheat systems she was currently using could only be completed by relying on the love index.

The claim that the palace's so-called escaped subsystems were soon to be scrapped was utter nonsense. The escaped systems were simply modified versions of what he had created.

Chu Nanfeng's initial suggestion was to modify the core definition of the cheat system according to the favorability rating, and to help the emperor increase his favorability in various ways.

If successful, it has a wider range of applications than the harem power struggle, is more helpful to the small world, and can gain more energy.

However, the palace did the opposite, blocking all opportunities to rise through ability; even if someone had talent, they could only use it to exchange for love.

Did he really not know that the subsystem, which the court had painstakingly researched, had escaped?

There was another key reason why Lin You was so certain that he was the culprit: the energy that the palace had transferred to Subsystem One was precisely at the point in his and Murong Yu's plan.

With these extra ten points of energy, she and Murong Yu had to almost completely overturn and redesign their original plan. What a coincidence!

A series of evidence were submitted, and the administrators immediately took action, apprehending the person before the palace could react.

Lin You's new partners are three other people she is familiar with, with A Piao as the group leader.

When Gong Ting was arrested, he was still pretending to be naive and simple-minded. But after the administrators projected the evidence onto the screen, his honest appearance immediately turned sinister and ruthless.

"You don't think you can deal with me with these, do you? Even the administrators can't bear the consequences of destroying a world."

"But I've already left a backup plan in that world. As soon as it escapes my control, it will send self-destruct commands to both subsystems. Unless you release me and grant me management access to another small world, otherwise..."

Before the palace had finished speaking, Apiao, Linlin, and Xiaoyou had already rushed to his controller. The three of them were originally in a hurry to try to crack the palace's signal device and intercept the issuance of orders.

After working for less than three minutes, they all stopped what they were doing, looking at each other with strange expressions.

Seeing this, the palace officials became even more confident: "After so many years of getting along, we all know each other well. With your level of expertise, it's impossible for you to crack my code in such a short time. You'd better consider my terms carefully..."

The three ignored his performance and dragged the manager to the front of the controller.

After receiving the notification from the administrator to take action, Lin You immediately used her spiritual power as a net to block the energy detector signal originally sent by the palace, and also skillfully used her system privileges to weave a code.

Not only was the so-called signal from the palace not sent, but she also caught it, quickly packaged it up, and sent it to Xiaoyou. This kind of system-related business was exactly what Xiaoyou, who was in the game industry, was good at.

"With her business skills, giving her a reward isn't too much to ask. Let's not even talk about points; she doesn't need them."

"Boss, what useless things are you hoarding that are good for the newbies? Take them out so they don't go to waste." This was Xiao You, who was trying to get a reward for Lin You.

"After the palace was dealt with, the position of senior technician in the company became vacant. Although the skill level was still immature, it showed the beginnings of an expert."

"To be able to do this after only a little over ten years of study, the future is promising. With such achievements, it's only fair that he gets a promotion ahead of schedule." This was Linlin, who was helping Lin You get a position.

The manager glanced at the silent ghost beside him and said, "What about you? You should say it all at once." Otherwise, this guy could trick him even more in private later.

A Piao touched her nose and calmly said that she didn't have any requirements, but she had a small suggestion: "I heard that there are a lot of new people coming to the company recently, and some small worlds need people to go on business trips for inspection. We are all old and frail, so how can we do this kind of hard work of business trips? It would be more suitable for a newcomer like Lin You, who can get more experience."

The manager rolled his eyes at him; this was a blatant demand to grant Lin You special privileges, allowing her to go on publicly funded trips and visit relatives.

After all, which small world needs to be inspected is ultimately decided by the person in charge of the business trip. However, this is not a bad thing for the company either, as it can help win over Lin You. This arrangement is actually a win-win situation.

Lin You, who was on a business trip, was unaware that the three of them had helped her ask for benefits. She was wondering about the information sent by the palace through the energy detector.

It can be seen from the usual dialogues between the two subsystems that System Two is actually more capable in terms of both cunning and methods.

System One will only follow the original settings of the cheat system, requiring the host to get close to and seduce the mission target through various means.

However, the message issued by the palace did indeed instruct Subsystem Two to trigger an energy riot in the current world by self-destructing.

The message sent to Subsystem One was to seize the moment when energy was at its peak, steal energy from System Two, and escape.

Looking at the message given to System Number One, it was actually instructing it to continue capturing young and beautiful girls as hosts, to seduce mission targets, and to obtain intimacy by any means necessary in order to extract energy.

Sure enough, there's a fundamental reason why she dislikes this thing. Some people are rotten to the core, and even if you haven't seen through their true nature, it will still make you instinctively disgusted.
