Chapter 2 Employees



After giving the instructions, Weiwei left.

Although the attributes of the tool secretary are very ordinary, Weiwei noticed that her [obedience] attribute is very high. Although she may not be smart, she must be very useful.

Interestingly, the NPCs on the map have no names!

There are no names, only positions. Secretary Millie is a [Secretary], and on the map in the distance you can see identities such as [Vagabond], [Robber], etc. The inconvenience is that if there are more than two homeless people in front of you, all of them will be shown on the map, and then Vivi may not be able to distinguish the two just by looking at the map.

The mayor's office made of reinforced steel only exists in the mayor's imagination. When Weiwei opened the map, she could see that several small dots representing the engineering team were rushing towards the city hall, but their speed was very slow.

There's no need to make a place like this look so real, right? Didn't the engineering team immediately refresh the room after she paid the money?

Helplessly, she chose to complete the next task while waiting.

The task of visiting the City Hall was not difficult. She just had to follow the route indicated by the system.

But it still took her a long time, because she was trying to take on side quests along the way.

She stood in front of each NPC and tried to interact with them, but the symbols representing emotions above the NPCs' heads on the map simply changed from "doubt" to "uneasiness."

It seems that these NPCs do not have their own tasks.

And their levels weren't very good either - as her employees, she could check their attributes - there were basically no people with special skills, which was disappointing.

Weiwei paced around the town hall with a sharp gaze.

Millie followed behind, her heart pounding.

She was hesitating whether to mention the former secretary general Sherk to the mayor - as a local intuition in Gotan, she vaguely realized that something was wrong with Sherk, and that he might be related to the death of the previous mayor.

Also, why was the window of the mayor's office broken when she first entered it? What happened in the office?

As she was lost in thought, the mayor in front of her paused and squatted down on the spot.

The mayor picked up a gray brooch, then walked through several doors with great familiarity and handed the brooch to old Hawke from the Finance Department.

Millie remembered that she had seen this brooch before. It was given to Hawke by his late wife, and he probably dropped it on the ground accidentally.

The mayor came in person to return his lost property. Old Hawke was surprised and thanked him in a dignified manner.

But this distinguished lady did not leave. She just stared at him silently for dozens of seconds, until the old sly man's forehead was sweating, then she turned and walked out.

In the next thirty minutes, Millie watched the overly young mayor find all kinds of lost items throughout the city hall, such as Mary's beret, Hans's love letter to Mary, and Joel's half-eaten chocolate that he had left in the sink and forgot to take away...

Although Millie was still a little confused at first, unlike the employees who were puzzled, she saw with her own eyes that the mayor discovered these things as if with divine help, and then accurately handed all the things to the right people without even asking her.

You know, even Millie couldn't know who each item belonged to.

"Mayor Anna...did you investigate all of them before coming here?"

It's impossible?

"By the way, you were a clerk before? Do you want to go back to your original position?"

The secretary's attributes on the system panel were very ordinary. It also recorded that the other party was transferred from xx position to xx position at xx time. The other party's full name was recorded, but Weiwei was still more accustomed to calling her by her position.

Come to think of it, since this is an infrastructure game, all you need is an identity and a profession and let the mayor make the arrangements. Names and the like are redundant.

Anyway, changing the other person's position...for Weiwei, it's just a matter of operating on the system panel.

Madam Mayor thinks I am not respectful enough!

Millie's face turned pale instantly: although she was careful enough, she still looked down on the mayor in her heart, thinking that he was just a guy with no backing who would leave soon or... die.

"No!" Millie bowed immediately, "I am very satisfied with my current position, please don't transfer me!"

It was obvious: if she wasn't satisfied, she could just get out.

Weiwei: Just reply, there’s no need to be so exaggerated.

But she nodded: "I think so."

Of course a secretary's salary is higher than that of a clerk.

Millie heaved a sigh of relief. She no longer hesitated and whispered to the mayor:

Weiwei gained nothing from her RPG gaming activities. There were no rewards for these errands, only a bunch of thank-yous that were not itchy at all.

No, it seems that there is, every time I receive thanks -

【Your unknown attribute 1】

[The 'reputation' module is not currently activated and cannot be viewed]

[Please improve the recognition of the people of Gotan as soon as possible. When more than 50% of the people know that you are the mayor, the reputation module will be activated.]

Not sure what the attribute is, she should find a way to turn on the reputation module.

She was not too disappointed and just treated it as a way to familiarize herself with the map. At this time, the secretary who had been with her since the beginning told her something.

After the other person finished speaking, a task naturally popped up.

[Series of Missions: The Killer from ■■]

[A mysterious killer smashed the window of your office. You think you should find him and listen to the news brought by your secretary.]

On the map, the red dot representing the killer has disappeared, most likely merged into the red ocean of Gotham.

Weiwei: ...

I don't really want to zoom out on the map to see the scene where so many people are against me.

The novice with little presence gave her a new role as a gift from the NPC secretary - "Former Secretary-General".

"Former Secretary-General? So he is no longer Secretary-General. What is his position now?"

Currently, Vivi has no secretary-general, only an ordinary secretary named Millie, but Sherk, who has already stepped down, still stays in the city hall during working hours.

Millie pursed her lips: "The former Secretary-General is currently on paid leave."

To be precise, when the former mayor was still in office, there were rumors that Secretary-General Sherk would be the future deputy mayor. After the mayor's death, before Mayor Anna was parachuted in, most of the affairs of the city hall were handled by the other party. Even now, the new mayor is still being sidelined by Sherk - otherwise, how could Ms. Anna, as the mayor, be so free that she would have time to do some small things like helping employees find things?

Millie could guess what those guys would say: they would never think the new mayor was an easy person to get along with, but would just look down on her and feel sorry for her being squeezed out.

But Millie believed that the mayor must know everything!

She must know it all!

She already has a plan!

Sure enough, the mayor in front of him frowned, her eyes casually swept across the void, as if she had thought of something, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

“Paid vacation”?

The Secretary-General who is connected with the killer should just retire - the system has already reminded her.

She immediately searched for the position on the map, and soon found a small dot - red, as expected - not far from the office, but the little red dot hesitated at the door for several times, moving forward and backward repeatedly without pushing the door open.

An emotional symbol representing "doubt" appeared above the dot.

A quick glance at Weiwei made me realize why:

The bricklayers have arrived and new steel reinforcement is being installed in the office.

She remembered that the game had a high degree of freedom and the NPCs were quite intelligent.

She turned to her secretary and said, "Please call the workers for me."

Sherk has received the news that the mayor is not dead, and he has sent a message to Lord Black Mask, but Black Mask is not his online love object. The other party is a big figure in the world of Gotan, so how could he reply to his message immediately?

"Black Mask" is of course just a code name, not a name, and no one dares to mention his name. He is the founder of the "Masked Society". The Masked Society is the most powerful gang in Gotham and currently leads the gang. Black Mask himself is an expert in torture and is said to have many perverted hobbies.

So, in the midst of the confusion, Sherk moved to the front of the mayor's office. He decided to meet the new mayor and "talk" to her on behalf of Lord Black Mask.

The door was closed, but the room was very noisy and I had no idea what was going on inside.

——This should have been his office!

He was extremely annoyed and after a moment's hesitation he put his hand on the door. However, just as he pushed it a crack, the office door was suddenly opened from the inside.

A group of muscular and tall brothers rushed out like hungry tigers, held down Sherk, who had an average physique, and immediately stuffed a sweat towel into his mouth, which made him roll his eyes and stopped him from saying the next words.

Sherk:?!

Help!

What are these guys doing? What are they doing? Why are they in the mayor's office?

Before the former Secretary-General could figure out what was going on, the same guys who had gagged him in the first place tied him up to an unnecessary steel bar and leaned him against the wall.

After a few chats with the strong men, Sherk finally figured out what happened.

Why are the construction team building a wall here, and a pure steel wall at that?

Why did the mayor call these people as if he had predicted it before he opened the door, and even lied to them that he was a thief who came to steal documents? Moreover, what did he mean by "that guy is very cunning, and we must gag him the moment we catch him, otherwise we will definitely be deceived by him"? God knows that there is not even a piece of valuable paper in the office, and all the documents are in Sherk's own office. Is it necessary for him to steal a lot of air?

etc--

Sherk's face turned slightly pale.

Doesn't the mayor know that something is wrong in the office?

Anyone in their right mind would have figured it out... all the documents were with Sherk, the "former" Secretary-General, and as long as she had a normal IQ, the young female mayor would have thought of him, so it was not surprising that she would wait and see.

Why did he specifically mention "documents"... Perhaps, this was a warning to him?

He warned Sherk that he already knew about his overstepping of duty and warned him to choose his side immediately - but Sherk knew that he could never turn back since he chose to cooperate with Black Mask.

Is she trying to intimidate or lure? Women are so naive.

With a sweat towel stuffed in his mouth, his hands tied behind his back, and his legs forced to curl up, Sherk's eyes were full of disdain.

"Did the thief have a cramp in his eye?"

"I don't know, maybe he's crazy," another construction worker shrugged. There are always crazy people in Ge Tan. "I just hope he doesn't eat my towel."
