Chapter 2 Resignation
When humans first discovered the situation of Hongxing Company, "How to maximize the acquisition of strange objects after becoming an employee of Hongxing Company" was an enduring hot topic. Netizens from all over the world proposed all kinds of fantastic ideas, and even governments of various countries conducted research on this issue. It was not until later that it was discovered that the success rate of joining Hongxing Company was too low that the topic gradually died down.
Who would have thought that when they had given up hope of joining Hongxing Company, someone could actually become an employee of Hongxing Company, and got this golden rice bowl right after entering the game. How could the audience not be shocked.
The news quickly spread. Ying Yuanxing did not receive much attention, but Hongxing Company received a lot of attention. Soon, the news was on the hot search list of the live broadcast platform.
[Xia Guo's players become official employees of Hongxing Company]
How important is Hongxing Company?
…
The live broadcast room where Ying Yuanxing was located continued to be flooded with viewers attracted by the hot search.
[Ahhhhhhhh, this is actually true. I thought the trending searches were exaggerated.]
[This luck is absolutely amazing]
[Country X was so proud of having obtained so many strange things before, now it’s their turn to be jealous]
[So many senior players have lost their lives in Hongxing Company before. Regular employees may be in more danger than interns. Can newcomers really take on such a big pie? ]
Some people were overwhelmed by the surprise, while others began to worry. After all, those candidates who had applied for jobs at Hongxing Company before were all quite capable, but they all lost their lives in the end.
Ying Yuanxing is a newcomer. Even if his abilities were activated after entering the weird game, he is not much different from an ordinary person now. It is too dangerous for him to be in the A-level weird domain.
[We should quickly check where he is. A group of players will soon come out of the game. If we know where the anchor is, we may be able to go over and protect him.]
[It's the end of the world, how can there still be this kind of giant baby mentality? Isn't life and death determined by fate when entering the game? Why do you still need someone to protect you? ]
[As long as the newcomers can hold on until someone comes, it’s not a bad idea to be protected. Don’t forget, so many contestants failed to get internships at Hongxing Company before because they were blocked by regular employees. Now there are our own people among the regular employees, so…]
[One becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight...]
[I thought I would never see the implementation of the 'Dove Plan' in my lifetime, but the surprise came too suddenly! ]
The "Jiu Plan" is a plan that netizens have come up with out-of-the-box. According to the premise, as long as someone enters the Hongxing Company, they can use the convenience of their position to recruit other human players into the company, and then form a group to squeeze out other weirdos.
Even if they cannot become senior executives of Hongxing Company, as long as they become the majority among the middle and lower-level employees, they can naturally use the business capabilities of Hongxing Company to seek some benefits for mankind.
Similarly, because of the failure in applying for Hongxing Company, the "Jiu Plan" was shelved like other plans, but now, maybe it's time to restart it!
Although some people are not optimistic about the implementation of the "Dove Plan", more people are still excited. After all, compared with before, it seems more promising now.
Not only did ordinary viewers enter the live broadcast room, but intelligence personnel from various countries on the live broadcast platform also noticed this situation, and quickly reported it while watching from the live broadcast room. If Ying Yuanxing can really bring great value, then they can't miss this opportunity.
…
Ying Yuanxing had no idea that there were so many spectators outside the venue who were looking forward to him. He had finally finished the work he had left behind, and before he had time to rest, his colleagues threw a pile of documents at him, making Ying Yuanxing's eyes go dark.
This is not an exaggeration, but Ying Yuanxing's true feeling.
No, if I continue doing this, I’m afraid I’ll die on the spot again.
Ying Yuanxing covered his chest, which was feeling a little tight, and was a little doubtful whether he could continue working. However, thinking about the examples of people losing their jobs in his memory, he decided to hold on a little longer.
After all, the original body's parents passed away, and more distant relatives either had no contact or had passed away. He didn't work, so it was impossible to find someone to rely on.
As for eating up his savings, Ying Yuanxing gasped, touching the only fifty yuan left in his pocket. If the company hadn't provided him with meals, he probably wouldn't have made it to next month's salary, not to mention the rent, water and electricity bills he would have to pay next month. If he didn't have money, he would have been kicked out that same day.
Sometimes, being poor is more terrifying than death.
It's better to go buy some special medicine for heartburn. I can't afford to go to the hospital anyway, so I'll just buy some medicine. The prices are clearly marked, so I can at least afford it.
Ying Yuanxing collected the documents on the desk and prepared to put them in the cabinet under the table. Suddenly, Ying Yuanxing noticed that there seemed to be a yellowed envelope placed in the deepest part of the cabinet.
This envelope is...
Memories emerged from the depths of his mind, and Ying Yuanxing remembered that this was a letter that his grandfather had left for him before he died more than ten years ago, asking him to read it when he was desperate. Although he was curious about the contents of the letter, he had never opened it.
The reason why I carry it with me is because it is more or less a way of missing my relatives. What's more, it is not safe to leave it in a rented house. Not to mention theft, sometimes the landlord will throw away my things if the rent is not enough. It is easy to find big things, but it is difficult to find letters.
Generally speaking, Ying Yuanxing would not read other people's letters, even if the owner of the letter was actually himself, because he could trust that the owner's feelings were not projected onto him.
But Ying Yuanxing always felt that the appearance of this letter made him look familiar, and now he was at his wits' end.
Although he was prepared to buy medicine, it could only be used as a temporary first aid measure and could not cure the disease. If he really had to choose between sudden death at work and death in poverty, Ying Yuanxing did not want to go that far.
Let’s take a look at the content of the letter first!
The content of the letter was very short, but Ying Yuanxing was very familiar with it. Although some words were different and the place names and names of people were also different, it was at most localized. Isn't this the letter from his grandfather that he saw when he was playing Stardew Valley?
If it was any other game text, Ying Yuanxing might not dare to confirm it like this, but for Stardew Valley, Ying Yuanxing plays a game whenever he has time, and he is very familiar with the text content at the beginning of the game, so how could he make a mistake?
So did he travel to the normal world or into the game world?
But if it is a game world, Ying Yuanxing feels that the awkwardness he had about this world before has been reduced. Because in the normal world, this is indeed outrageous, but if it is a game world, it feels quite normal, just an ordinary dark style, and there are even more outrageous worldviews.
It's just that he doesn't want to stay in this world at all.
????????????
It would be fine if he had no choice, but now he clearly has another choice.
However, no matter how excited he was, Ying Yuanxing still searched for information about Taoxi Village on the Internet out of caution. The information he could find was very little, but from the little information that was occasionally leaked, this village seemed to be quite good.
And according to the original body's memory, Taoxi Village is indeed quite good. Although the original body did not stay in the village for too long and the last time he returned to the village was before his grandfather passed away, the village did leave a good impression on him and the villagers were quite friendly.
Of course, compared with the kindness in the normal world, it may be a little worse, but according to the moral standards of this world, it is indeed kind.
For some reason, Ying Yuanxing's chest had been tightening and even stabbing. But after reading the contents of the letter, Ying Yuanxing found that the stabbing pain in his chest had disappeared.
"Mood has such a big impact!" Ying Yuanxing was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it. He took the letter in his hand and read it over and over again, trying to find if there was a button that he could press to teleport to Taoxi Village. After all, after reading the letter in the game, it would be the animation of going to Stardew Valley.
However, Ying Yuanxing watched for a long time but no cutscene appeared.
Wait a minute!
Ying Yuanxing thought about the money in his pocket and checked the route to Taoxi Village. There was a cross-city bus at two o'clock, and the fare was exactly fifty yuan.
This coincidence made Ying Yuanxing feel more and more that he had probably traveled into the game world.
If this is really Stardew Valley, even if it is a realistic version...
Ying Yuanxing's eyes, which had been as stagnant as a pool of water at work, suddenly lit up. With full of expectations, he stood up and went to find the manager.
…
[No, what happened? Why do you want to resign? ]
The audience in the live broadcast room were stunned. They were still imagining how they would take over Hongxing Company with Ying Yuanxing as their accomplice, but in the blink of an eye, Ying Yuanxing was about to resign, saying that he wanted to return to his hometown.
No, what happened?
Because Ying Yuanxing has been working honestly and the work process is extremely boring, many viewers did not watch the live broadcast much and were busy chatting on the barrage. When they suddenly heard that Ying Yuanxing and the manager had resigned, they did not react.
They have just watched the live broadcast for a while, not several days.
"Do you want to resign?" The manager glanced at Ying Yuanxing. Hongxing Company is not a place where anyone can come in or leave as they please.
The manager narrowed his eyes and looked at Ying Yuanxing critically. He liked to eat fatty meat and had no intention of eating Ying Yuanxing immediately. After all, the boy's flesh looked skinny. But now if the other party wanted to leave, he had already found an excuse for him, and it would be a waste not to eat it.
Forget it, I’ll just eat the leg first, at least there’s more meat.
The manager could see that Ying Yuanxing had not been eaten by other monsters yet, and still retained its original flavor. Although many monsters said that the regrown limbs tasted the same as the original limbs, the manager, who claimed to be an expert in the monster world, still felt that the original limbs tasted better, and that the ones that grew later were like quick-grown meat, and the taste was less flavorful.
Especially when thinking of the painful expression on Ying Yuanxing's face when he was eaten, the manager couldn't help swallowing.
The manager stood up and was about to take action when he discovered something was wrong. Ying Yuanxing was from their company and had already signed a contract. As the other party's leader, he had absolute control over the other party in the strange domain of Hongxing Company. But now...
The manager tried hard to squeeze forward, but couldn't get even a step closer to Ying Yuanxing.
"Manager?" Seeing the manager stand up with his face flushed, Ying Yuanxing felt a little strange and subconsciously took a few steps closer. Could it be that the manager had a health problem?
Before the manager could stop Ying Yuanxing, a huge force surged from the front and pushed him back onto the chair. In Ying Yuanxing's opinion, the manager suddenly fell ill and could not stand steadily, so he immediately moved over more anxiously.
The manager wanted to ask Ying Yuanxing to step back a little, but the huge force in front of him pressed down on him so hard that he couldn't open his mouth at all. He could only watch Ying Yuanxing getting closer and closer. Then, with a 'pop' sound, the chair under him collapsed under the weight.
Ying Yuanxing looked at the manager who was struggling in the chair, not knowing whether he should go forward to help him.
The main reason was that the manager was fat and thick, weighing at least 200 pounds, and he was worried that he couldn't pull the manager up. If he was in good health, he could try, but in his current condition, pulling someone up was considered heavy physical work, what if he got sick?
Realizing this, Ying Yuanxing took a step back and said, "Manager, hold on, I'll call an ambulance!"
Ying Yuanxing was about to call the hospital for emergency treatment, but just as he touched his cell phone, he recalled something and paused, then picked up the phone that the manager had placed on the table.
Ying Yuanxing's step back made the manager feel relieved. Just as he was about to get up from the ground, he heard Ying Yuanxing's words and saw him dialing the phone. He shouted, "I'm fine!"
But he shouted too late, Ying Yuanxing's call had already been made and was connected in less than a second.
"Dear guest, hello, emergency services will be arranged for you immediately, please stay where you are..."
The gentle female voice from the other end of the phone made the manager tremble all over, and he quickly shouted: "Cancel, cancel, cancel the emergency service immediately."
"Dear guest, are you sure you want to cancel the emergency service?" The gentle female voice suddenly became stiff and revealed a hint of coldness.
"OK, OK! Cancel immediately!" the manager shouted while lying on his back, looking nervous.
"Okay, I'm sorry to cancel the emergency mission for you, but since you dialed the emergency number by mistake and occupied the hospital's emergency resources, the fine bill will be sent to you later. I hope I can have the opportunity to serve you next time!"
After making sure that the hospital had hung up the phone, the manager collapsed on the ground, his face turning pale for more than one second. Fortunately, it was just a fine bill. If he had been sent to the hospital, even if his internal organs were not eviscerated, he would have to lose a layer of skin before he could escape from the hospital.
While Ying Yuanxing was away from him, the manager quickly got up from the ground. His movements were so agile that even Ying Yuanxing was amazed.
What's wrong with this kid?
The manager looked at Ying Yuanxing in doubt. The powerful feeling of oppression just now was not an illusion.
"Manager?" Ying Yuanxing asked.
"You want to go back to your hometown?" The manager felt that the problem probably lay with Ying Yuanxing's so-called hometown.
Ying Yuanxing nodded, thought for a moment and said, "My grandfather left me a farm, I have to go back and inherit the farm."
As he spoke, Ying Yuanxing felt an inexplicable subtle mood. He was excited, but also a little nervous. He didn't know if he could do it well.
But thinking about the situation in the city, Ying Yuanxing felt that no matter how bad it was, it would definitely be better than continuing to work.
"I remember your hometown is..." Before the villager could finish his sentence, the manager froze. He would never spend energy to remember where an employee's hometown was, but now, he actually remembered it.
As a smart and clever person, the manager knew clearly that he was involved in a high-level weird domain. The level of this weird domain was definitely higher than that of Hongxing Company, otherwise his memory could not have been tampered with.
If it were before, the manager might have wanted to use the excuse of resignation to deal with Ying Yuanxing, but now, he couldn't wait for Ying Yuanxing to leave. What if he continued to let him stay and really got himself dragged into that strange place?
Besides, maybe he doesn't need to deal with Ying Yuanxing. The other party has entered a high-level strange domain, and the result will definitely be worse than in the company.
Ying Yuanxing was puzzled by the manager's sudden look of pity, or even gloating, but seeing that the manager did not take him directly to resign, Ying Yuanxing did not care. He had already left the company anyway, so it didn't matter to him what the manager thought.
…
With the help of the manager, the resignation procedures were completed very smoothly. Ying Yuanxing even received his salary for the past few days. Although it was not much, only a few hundred yuan, for someone who only had fifty yuan on him, it was already a huge sum of money.
Ying Yuanxing went home, packed his luggage, bought some things, then went to the bus station to take a bus to Taoxi Village.
At this time, the audience in the live broadcast room was completely dumbfounded. Just now, Ying Yuanxing said that he wanted to resign. They panicked, but they were not particularly panicked. Because everyone knows that it is difficult to get a job in a weird game, and it is also difficult to leave, so you have to be careful when choosing a job.
I don’t know how many new players have been killed because they chose the wrong job.
They all felt that there was still time. As long as they could find Ying Yuanxing's workplace during the time he was away from his job and send some players over to persuade him, the matter could be stopped.
As a result, while they were discussing what to do and calling for help from the Shuguang Bureau, Ying Yuanxing had already successfully resigned and received his salary for the past few days.
If Ying Yuanxing was not in Hongxing Company, the audience would have no idea, but this is the Hongxing Company they have been looking forward to for a long time.
Even if Ying Yuanxing had to resign, if he had just been a little slower and allowed other players to use him as a springboard to enter Hongxing Company, he would have made a great contribution. But Ying Yuanxing succeeded in resigning so quickly.
Some viewers were so surprised by Yuanxing before that they were disappointed now, and some even started cursing.
[Why should he resign? Will staying a little longer cost him his life? ]
[Maybe I found myself in Hongxing Company! ]
[I don’t understand what the previous part means]
[Don't just think about how good Hongxing Company is. You have forgotten how bad Hongxing Company's reputation is. This is the worst-known weird domain among the weird teaching materials issued by the Dawn Bureau.]
[When we watch live broadcasts, we think about how to maximize our profits, but the anchor is a newcomer. How can he not be afraid when he finds himself in the most dangerous company? He will definitely want to escape]
[Isn't it okay if I just stay for a few days and someone will take over when the time comes? ]
[You guys are talking so lightly. Now I'll let you stay in the ordinary strange area for a few days, and someone will come to rescue you right away. Will you go? ]
These words sobered up some people whose heads were dizzy with surprise, and the voices of complaints in the live broadcast room suddenly became much quieter. Even though some people were still complaining, there were also people who spoke out to express their understanding.
[The anchor doesn’t know what’s going on outside, and doesn’t know if anyone would want to take over his position. It’s human nature to save oneself.]
[It is said that someone will come to rescue him, but who knows when they will arrive? It is too difficult to cross regions in a weird game.]
[If the Dawn Bureau is willing to take action at all costs, they should be able to send people over in a few days. However, in this weird game, too many variables can occur in a few days, so it is most important for newcomers to save their lives.]
The staff behind the scenes breathed a sigh of relief as they saw that under guidance, the comments in the live broadcast room became more friendly.
