Chapter 85 Unemployment Period 1
The chemical plant manager knew the released gas was extremely dangerous, but after the accident, he pretended nothing was wrong and said nothing. The government decided to impose a heavy fine.
However, no matter what punishment the person in charge receives, the villagers' lost health can never be regained.
Yunxin's work is the same.
Mr. Li looked at Yun Xin, wanting to ask, "Are you unemployed again?"
But he held back.
He felt that at this point, even telling the truth would be too provocative and not conducive to maintaining a friendly relationship between the two sides in the long run.
He had considered inviting Yun Xin to join his company, but Yun Xin's ability to "send off bosses" far exceeded her predictive abilities. So much so that President Li preferred to lose a talented individual rather than take the risk.
Yun Xin herself remained quite calm.
Her boss usually doesn't make it past the probation period.
They either get on the direct train to prison or the ambulance to the hospital; either way, they lose either their lives or their freedom, and only a very few lucky ones manage to escape alive.
At first, it seemed absurd, but after it happened a few times, I gradually came to terms with it, and even started to think that this is just life. After the evolution game was released, the world became this dangerous!
(No)
Yunxin accepted the situation well. After rescuing the villagers, she prepared to go home. "You can take care of the rest. I'll contact you if I need anything later."
Hearing that there would be a future, even though he knew it was just polite talk, Mr. Li couldn't help but smile genuinely and said, "Okay."
[Congratulations to the player who successfully survived instance number 204679 – “Major Mudslide Disaster”.]
[Because you saved 233 humans, your pass rating is "S", and you are rewarded with the following attribute points: Strength +0.4, Agility +0.4, Constitution +0.4, Spirit +0.3.]
Your current attributes are: Strength: 8.9, Agility: 8.8, Constitution: 9.6, Spirit: 9.4 (Total: 36.7)
Xiao Wei sat in the corner, idly drinking mineral water.
Just then, my phone vibrated, and a text message appeared: "Yunxin: The trip is over. I'm on my way home and will be there in six hours."
Xiao Wei: ! !
He jumped up and grabbed the person in charge. "Supervisor, the rescue operation is over. I'm planning to head back to the city."
The head of the special rescue department thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. "It's time to go back. The people who stayed behind told me they're working like crazy and desperately need support."
“What I mean is, I plan to take a vacation after I go back,” Xiao Wei corrected her wording.
The person in charge was stunned. "Huh?"
"We agreed that coming here to help would count as taking time off in lieu of leave," Xiao Wei reminded him earnestly. "Now I want to use that leave."
"There was a lot of backlog of work before, and you even volunteered to stay and work overtime. You came out to help out, and the department's work is piling up. Can you bear to watch us get overwhelmed by work?" The person in charge tried to appeal to people's emotions.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Wei replied without hesitation, "Hatred."
Yunxin went on a trip earlier, and he had nothing to do, so he just found something to do.
Now that Yunxin is back, who has the mind to stay in the office and work overtime? They wish they could grow wings and fly back immediately!
The person in charge, "..."
Seeing that the person in charge wanted to persuade her again, Xiao Wei asked, "Does it mean that if you have a soft heart and volunteer to work overtime once, then working overtime afterwards becomes an obligation?"
The person in charge sighed, "...Of course not."
Xiao Wei was finally satisfied.
“If I say the situation is urgent and I have to stay and work overtime—” the person in charge cautiously probed.
Xiao Wei said expressionlessly, "I feel that if my job is affecting my life (dating), I have to quit."
Person in charge: !!!
"Fortunately, our department is very democratic and absolutely respects human rights." The person in charge's smile was more like a grimace.
Xiao Wei's voice was neither loud nor soft, it was unclear whether she was talking to herself or someone else, "They keep saying they're short-staffed, and it's been months, and they're still short-staffed. Do they never hire new people?"
"How could that be!" the person in charge protested. "The government has been recruiting, but public officials are on the front lines, and the mortality rate is as high as 60% to 70%!"
"The people I hired are either dead, disabled, or hospitalized. What can I do?!"
"That's because the federal government's operating principle is: if something goes wrong, public officials should be the first to be affected. As long as public officials are alive, the public is always protected!"
Xiao Wei was slightly taken aback, but said calmly, "Special rescue departments don't have such a high casualty rate."
Without hesitation, the person in charge replied, "So all the new recruits have been snatched up by other departments! No matter how many times I apply, they all say our department is well-staffed, and other departments need fresh blood more..."
Xiao Wei sneered, "So that's how it is. No wonder there are always the same few people, and the work is never finished."
The person in charge, "..."
Damn! I let it slip.
The person in charge said awkwardly, "With you in our department, the casualty rate is at most 10% or 20%, so the situation is indeed better than other departments."
"Shouldn't such a capable subordinate be rewarded with three extra days off?" Xiao Wei asked.
The person in charge, "..."
He's fucking idiot.
That kid must have done it on purpose!
"Without you, work efficiency has dropped drastically, and we definitely won't be able to finish the work." The person in charge lowered his pride and pitifully played the victim.
Xiao Wei said indifferently, "That's perfect. Then we'll have a suitable reason to submit a written application and ask the newcomer to come and help."
"Isn't that a bad idea?" the person in charge hesitated.
“As long as the new recruits are distributed equally and assigned to the special rescue departments normally, the workload will be evenly distributed, and everyone can live a normal life.” Xiao Wei asked doubtfully, “I’m asking for fairness, not special treatment. What’s wrong with that?”
"Just because members of special rescue teams are highly capable, does that mean they deserve to suffer?"
"Giving way once in a while is fine, but giving way every time, do you think the special rescue department is easy to bully?"
Under the barrage of questions, the person in charge was also bewildered.
He muttered, "I was thinking that other departments have a higher attrition rate and definitely need more manpower..."
“Distribute fairly first. Once the special rescue department is not short of people, be generous and let the new recruits go to them.” Xiao Wei interrupted without mercy, “Your own department is short of people, why should you give them up?”
Before the person in charge could speak further, Xiao Wei added, "I don't like unfair and unjust workplaces."
The manager sensed something was off about the tone of voice, "You're not thinking of quitting again, are you?!"
Xiao Wei: "I'm considering it."
"Okay, okay, I'll try my best!" the person in charge shouted. "When you come back from your vacation, I'll definitely apply for a new person for the department!"
Xiao Wei looked at her supervisor with clear and pure eyes, "If you can't get the leave, I'll keep asking for leave."
This is a threat, this must be a threat!
The person in charge was in a real bind.
"Think of the poor people! Think of those ordinary people waiting for rescue, helpless and desperate!" the person in charge earnestly persuaded.
“In fact—” Xiao Wei said slowly, “I have reservations about the government’s policy of doing everything it can to save lives.”
"A game called 'Evolution Game' will inevitably force people to evolve. Is the government's repeated intervention truly for salvation, or is it depriving people of the opportunity to evolve?"
"I've always had my doubts."
The person in charge, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, said with a warning, "At a time like this, do not shake people's morale."
Xiao Wei fell silent, stood straight, and wore an upright face that remained unmoved by external things.
The person in charge, utterly exasperated, waved his hand dismissively, "Go away, go on vacation! Don't get in my way!"
With the supervisor's personal approval, it was a rare opportunity. Xiao Wei disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if afraid the supervisor would change his mind.
"What sins have I committed..." The person in charge dragged his tired body and resignedly began preparing for the return trip and overtime work.
The harm caused by TCDD is too great! The villagers don't want to stay here for even a day longer.
Therefore, when General Manager Li sent people to negotiate with the villagers, everyone was very easy to talk to. The matter was settled in just half a day.
After agreeing on a place to settle down, the villagers packed their belongings overnight and went out to seek refuge.
Yunxin was on the train back when she received a system notification halfway through the journey.
[Congratulations to the player for successfully surviving instance number 204846 – "Chemical Plant Pollution Incident".]
[Because you indirectly saved 32,432 humans, your pass rating is "SSS," and you are rewarded with attribute points: Strength +1, Agility +1, Constitution +1, Spirit +1.]
Your current attributes are: Strength: 9.7, Agility: 9.7, Constitution: 10, Spirit: 10. (Total: 39.4)
[Note 1: The maximum value for a single attribute is 10; it will not increase further after reaching 10.]
[Note 2: Player's physical attribute is detected to be 10 and spiritual attribute to be 10. Congratulations to the player for becoming the first "Saint" in the entire server (Saint: a single attribute reaches 10).]
[Note 3: Reaching a single attribute level of 10 grants the title "Saint." You will possess certain powers; players are encouraged to explore for themselves.]
Unexpectedly, the actual number of people affected was much higher than anticipated. The final rating received was not SS, but SSS.
But the title of "Saint"? Some powers? What does all this mean??
Yunxin: This game is trash! There wasn't even an instruction manual!
The system was completely unresponsive, as if it were dead.
Yunxin angrily shut down the transparent panel.
Time is running out... Ju Nan thought anxiously.
As the days went by, the plan to mass-produce superhumans progressed slowly, like a tortoise crawling.
And his hard-won subordinates would be hunted down by the government if they dared to do anything wrong.
Faced with this difficult situation, the masked man, however unwilling, had to admit that he didn't have the talent to be a villain.
Fortunately, he could see fragments of the future and knew who the experts were.
Xue Yang, a master manipulator, was once enthusiastically supported by the wealthy and elevated to a pedestal. Unfortunately, he later encountered a mind-reading superhuman and his scheme backfired, leading to a joint bounty on his head from several major conglomerates.
I've heard that this person has an exceptionally strong ability to foresee the future and is extremely adept at using known information to set traps for their employers.
They could easily have kept their employers safe, but they always deliberately put them in danger. Only in the most critical moments will they lend a helping hand and snatch people back from the jaws of death.
Some were seriously injured, others were left disabled, yet they idolized Xue Yang with unwavering fervor. These wealthy individuals believed that without Xue Yang, they would surely have perished.
Therefore, when they learned that they could have avoided being seriously injured and disabled, they were filled with boundless hatred and wished they could tear Xue Yang to pieces.
If he recruited Xue Yang and allowed Xue Yang to fully utilize his divinely bestowed talents, the Federation would be completely fooled and would no longer care about hunting him and his men down.
As long as there is even the slightest opening or opportunity, the situation can be easily turned around!
With the plan in place, the masked man, Mu Gen, went to Xue Yang's residence to find him, based on information revealed by the future fragments.
When they arrived, there were two bodyguards in black standing guard at the entrance.
After learning his purpose, the bodyguard in black grinned. "Xue Yang risked his life to save my young master. He's very grateful and instructed us to 'take good care' of him. If you want to see him, go in and take a look. But let me make this clear: Xue Yang has sores on his face, tumors in his lungs and liver, and he also has cancer. He's unconscious most of the day, only lucid for a few hours. If you want to speak to him, you'll probably have to wait a while."
Masked man: ...Useless!
