Chapter 207 Zootopia
[Full of Vitality Building] is located near the center of the CBD in Wuma District, where the largest number of office workers gather.
At this moment, a huge fiery red figure was lying on the outer wall of the building. Her upper body was like a horse, and hot air was still coming out of her mouth.
Boss Cai slammed the window shut. The screen showed a beating electrocardiogram one moment and snowflakes the next.
No! He must have opened the window the wrong way!
What's that weird thing outside tearing down the window, Qiao Song?
How could a human being be transformed into an animal to this extent... How many things did that damn thing Chen Long hide from me!
The large window facing the street was opened in one go, like a chocolate wafer with a corner torn off.
Qiao Song transformed into a giant monster, bit open the building, and spoke in human language:
"Boss Cai, why are you running away? Don't you want to see me?"
Qiao Song stretched out his legs like a spider to reach the window.
The display screen not far from the next window turned around decisively, without looking back, and ran away.
He wanted to meet Qiao Song to ravage and suppress him, not the other way around!
This is the Wu Ma area, not his convenience store, nor any new area in the Infinite Highway where copies can be expanded.
Foreign game bosses in the zodiac area will also be affected by the area. The rules of Zootopia have always been to give priority to the zodiac itself.
That ghost thing outside the window doesn't look like a human at all. It is obvious that this madman Qiao Song has merged with the power of the zodiac.
Would he be stupid if he didn't run now?
Boss Cai had to admit that when he first heard that Qiao Song had become a certain zodiac sign, he had some thoughts about taking over the other party's area for himself.
This kind of thing is very common. The power of the zodiac is originally passed down one by one. There is not much difference between players who have shrines waiting for inheritance and actively grabbing them.
But what is the situation now? Qiao Song is not the manager of the Dog, so how can she be so skilled in treating people like cattle and horses?
"Wuma! You bastard, hang up on me at this time!"
The brain speed of the display screen has exceeded a certain computing node. The person who had video chatted with him before has actually hung up the phone.
Before, Chen Long told him that Wu Ma was an easy guy to fool, and he thought that was a good thing. But now it seems that he is just a pure weed in his own backyard!
No, he must escape from this building. Wu Ma's only abilities are endurance and physical strength, but he remembers that Xu Gou, that dog, was a big eater.
Boss Cai ran around the building in a panic.
He almost forgot the last time a player forced him into this state.
No, if I think about it carefully, it seems that Qiao Song was responsible for the first and second times. And that damn crow. The scar on the screen that he made in hell has just healed not long ago. Later, the warehouse incident was also because this player suffered huge losses.
It seemed like his convenience store had a natural grudge against Qiao Song.
Boss Cai ran out with gritted teeth, almost yelling in a low voice.
"When I leave here, I will make you into a wind chime and hang it at the door of the convenience store to say welcome to everyone!"
The display screen rushed into the elevator room, and the white gloves quickly pressed the up button. However, a black shadow suddenly crawled through the window near the stairs.
Boss Cai's heart skipped a beat and he turned his head to look.
Bang—bang—
With every hit, the electrocardiogram on the display screen fluctuated.
Qiao Song was like a female ghost, tearing a hole in the window and crawling in.
"Who are you going to make into a wind chime?"
Boss Cai's screen was covered with snow again.
"How did you get in? This is an office area. No unauthorized persons are allowed to enter!"
His white glove pointed to a sign in the corner that read:
[The top floor office area is only accessible to the chairman and distinguished guests. For unauthorized persons, please make an appointment at the front desk first.]
He dared to come to the top floor so casually and discuss business with Lao Ma and others because he knew that the top floor area was difficult to invade.
Qiao Song really couldn't get in. She was stuck by the window, like a monster outside the safe zone ready to invade the building, while the guys inside the safe zone were looking at her in horror.
Not only Boss Cai, but also the office staff who were dizzy from working overtime were attracted by Qiao Song's attention when she climbed over the outer wall of the building. The expressions on her faces were not just fear, but more like they saw some kind of rebellious employee who was going against the boss.
That’s right, Qiao Song is still an employee at a coffee shop.
The coffee shop staff uniform can be vaguely seen on her deformed body.
There were even a few boxes of packaged coffee hanging steadily on her newly emerged tail, in groups of six, for a total of thirty cups.
This amount is enough to send anyone to hell no matter if she or anyone else drinks it.
While Boss Cai was waiting for the elevator, he finally got through to Wu Ma again. The guy's office background had changed again. It seemed that he had moved to a business in another building within a short period of time.
"Wuma! This is different from what we agreed at the beginning! Shouldn't you exhaust her first? How did you exhaust her into this state?!"
It was clearly a boost to the opponent, adding a BUFF!
Wu Ma looks a little cowardly, but he speaks very carefully.
"Maybe there was some problem with the execution of the plan by the people below. They failed to align the granularity. I have held a small meeting with my employees. They have already come up with several new plans. The employee who had a direct encounter with the target has also been found. They are going through the OA process and asking for relevant information. I will send it to you once the plan is ready. It will take three working days..."
Boss Cai was so angry that he wanted to crush the communicator in his hand: "Don't give me that excuse! Be careful or she and I will destroy your company together. Tell me right now, what are the side effects of the coffee beans produced by your branch company?"
Wu Ma, who had dark circles under his eyes, paused on the other side of the screen.
"It's just the same effect that regular coffee should have. You know, in the past, horses relied on eating primitive plants like coffee beans to increase their energy. Isn't it the same now that they are used as cattle and horses in the office? Sometimes employees even take the initiative to buy coffee themselves."
"However, the coffee produced by our branch will further squeeze all the mental and spiritual strength of employees, allowing them to work non-stop for 24 hours."
"The upper limit for ordinary players and ordinary ghost NPCs is three cups or less, five cups for management, and ten cups for the highest level. As long as you drink coffee, it is equivalent to accepting overtime by default."
Boss Cai paused, thinking that this coffee was quite effective and suitable for exploiting employees. No, that's not right -
He looked out the window at Qiao Song, who had broken the glass window but couldn't get in. He took the coffee hanging on his tail and poured it into his mouth one bottle after another.
"Is this the upper limit for an ordinary person?!"
"And what's wrong with this guy! Didn't they say that if you drink coffee you will be forced to work overtime? Why is he still chopping at the window?!"
The down button of the elevator is almost broken by being pressed. I don’t know what’s wrong with this elevator. It has taken so long and it still hasn’t come up.
Wu Ma on the other side of the video also seems to be moving.
"Her original job assigned in the Wuma area was a barista... After drinking coffee, she was forced to work overtime, which means she had to make coffee and go out to deliver coffee, so she is not considered absent from work now."
After listening to Wu Ma’s explanation, Boss Cai said:?
Isn't this just a pure card bug?
Whether the ordered coffee is paid for directly or not, whether the customer drinks it or the employee who delivered the coffee drinks it himself, it is considered as completing the sales task.
So, Qiao Song is working overtime very hard!
After drinking a few new cups of coffee, she felt like magma was flowing in her body.
Her body expanded a little more, and Qiao Song was like some special monster in the escape game. Not only did she have the appearance of a horse, but she also had some dog, and a small amount of chicken and monkey elements.
Qiao Song bit off a corner of the building, and saw Boss Cai rushing into the elevator with his butt on fire.
The guy pressed his body tightly against the metal wall of the elevator, and you could see that every knuckle of his white gloves was exerting force.
It seemed as if he was afraid that Qiao Song would break in.
Qiao Song, whose body had become gigantic, tilted his head slightly.
Like a giant looking at a bug in a box.
"Strange, isn't it just that the positions of the two parties in the pursuit are reversed? Would you NPCs also be afraid?"
Having suffered such a great humiliation from the display screen, this time it didn't even dare to say anything harsh and just slammed the door-closing button.
Qiao Song watched the elevator door close, but did not leave immediately. Her eyes were fixed on the jumping numbers above the elevator.
Generally speaking, the elevator on this floor used by the boss is special and requires a card to enter. Just now, Boss Cai also swiped the personal card left for him by Wu Ma.
In other words, no one else can enter this route at all.
The display screen was located three floors underground.
The company's other elevators can only go to the second underground floor.
Qiao Song gently swung her tail behind her. She knew she couldn't continue drinking coffee, but she vaguely felt that this coffee was more special than she had imagined.
She smelled a familiar scent in the aroma of coffee.
The smell of river water.
Qiao Song returned to the coffee shop as if he was climbing a railing.
The giant panda in the store was completely frightened by her: "I, I can't do it anymore. The store is out of coffee ingredients."
Qiao Song knew he was lying. A building provided an average of 2 to 3 cups of coffee to employees every day. How could the raw materials be used up at this time?
She shrunk her body again in front of the giant panda, and a series of brightly colored feathers on the sides of her jaw opened and closed like breathing scales.
The purification of the Rooster allows her to quickly remove the influence of other effective areas.
Qiao Song used his huge claws, which had not yet fully recovered, to gently grab the panda's shoulders, as if he was holding a stuffed toy.
"Manager, I also make the coffee in the store. There is no problem from coffee beans to milk foam, but what's the problem with the water source in the store?"
All the taps in this coffee shop are sealed, with only a small area where filtered domestic water can be used.
Every cup of coffee that Qiao Song made before, whether it was hot water or the water source connected to the coffee machine, came from there.
The Panda store manager, who had dark circles under his eyes, rolled his eyes and said, "It's just ordinary drinking water. We have beans and milk foam, but today's water quota is almost used up. We can only get it in the afternoon..."
A shabby coffee shop has a water limit.
Qiao Song knew that the sluice gate was closed, and it must be related to Boss Cai's sudden trip to the third underground floor.
When I asked for more coffee the second time, the boss didn't mention that he couldn't make it.
"You know how much coffee I drank today. I'm so energetic right now that I want to tear down this building. So you'd better tell me where the liquid added to the coffee comes from."
Her body began to swell again, especially her mouth, revealing sharp fangs that belonged to a dog: "I heard that the most delicious thing about horse meat is the leg meat, and as for panda meat..."
Maybe it was because Qiao Song's gaze on a piece of meat was too obvious, the giant panda couldn't help but tremble, and instantly thought of some news he had heard before, that someone had changed in the Dog territory.
A mad dog will eat anything when it's hungry.
Come to think of it, he is just a worker, and the dark circles under his eyes are so thick that he can only cover them with fur. Is it really necessary for him to work so hard for that old horse?
The higher-ups have different ideas every day, and the information they provide this time is not even accurate. This new guy is not easy to deal with.
Panda closed his eyes and pointed to a water valve in the store that filtered water. "That's the golden one. Follow the lines all the way down."
Qiao Song nodded with satisfaction. She didn't use any tools, but just used her claws to cut off a piece of floor next to the water pipe in the cafe.
At this moment, Kong Li, who was dealing with customers in the restaurant, suddenly felt a string of walnuts on his wrist move.
She was wearing a shop assistant's apron, which was covered with grease and rice grains.
She and Qiao Song had an amazing understanding, and obviously did not let the employees take the initiative to eat any meals.
She waited for the customers to place their orders and then processed their dishes.
This group of people, who were originally forced to work overtime after eating, were confused by the store clerk's actions.
If you don’t have enough food and the red bar value doesn’t meet the standard, the work assigned to you in the afternoon will be reduced.
The employees looked at each other, pretended nothing had happened, and turned away.
Kong Li certainly didn't eat the food herself. She was holding a talisman paper with a picture of Taotie on it in her left hand and was hiccuping. When she noticed the abnormality of the walnut bracelet, she quickly made a spell.
She murmured a few more words: "Is there some terrible creature nearby? Wasn't it said that this was a high-tech automatic settlement instance? How come there is a monster?"
As a result, her phone vibrated. It was a message from Qiao Song:
[I have something to do underground, you can do whatever you want.]
Kong Li suddenly sensed something subtly wrong. Soon, she saw within her field of vision the sound of renovation work being done in a coffee shop not far away. To be more precise, it was more like the sound of demolishing a house.
With a snap, the sign above the store door fell down.
That seems to be where Sister Qiao Song works?
Kong Li looked at the talismans with great destructive power that he had been holding but not using.
Didn’t we say that we should take the route of intellectual clearance?
At this time, the wind chimes at the door rang, and a delivery boy wearing a yellow vest and riding an electric bike at full speed suddenly pushed the door open.
"Hello, pack me 10 fast food meals."
This was the first time Kong Li had seen a player in this dungeon who had obviously not been completely corrupted or controlled by Wu Ma's social animal mentality.
Although his eyes were rimmed, this guy actually greeted her in a familiar manner: "Wow, new waiter? I haven't seen you in this restaurant before. Please help me pack up quickly, my boss is in a hurry."
Kong Li didn't remember that this area had opened a takeaway business, but the other party's clothes didn't look fake.
Chi Xiaoyao looked at Kong Li for a long time and suddenly said something inexplicably.
"Don't eat the food I bought. I'm different from those employees. I bought these meals for other purposes."
Kong Li: ...
"I am a player, not an NPC..."
The implication is that she ate other people's food just to pass the game, not out of bad taste.
but……
"Did you deliver these orders upstairs in the company?"
Judging from the guy's condition, he must have been in this area for a while. Doesn't he know the consequences of proactively delivering food to those employees who work around the clock?
"Ah, that's not it. If I send so much food to the employees, wouldn't that be courting death?"
Chi Xiaoyao smiled, revealing his big white teeth, glanced at the message on the communicator, and quickly picked up all the plastic bags.
"I'm just delivering food to my boss."
Boss?
The tone doesn't sound like a dungeon boss, but more like some human players.
Kong Li suddenly had a very subtle feeling in her heart, and she counted with her fingers.
"Is it really such a coincidence?"
After getting the food, the delivery guy didn't ride his motorcycle. Instead, he looked around for a while and ran directly to the coffee shop whose sign had fallen down and was almost in ruins.
As soon as Kong Li saw the delivery guy go in, he knew he was right.
This is actually to deliver food to Qiao Song?
Kong Li suddenly felt that she might not have done enough work. Why didn’t Qiao Song take the initiative to assign her any tasks?
No, what if I get sent back for being useless?
She needs to gain more favor.
Kong Li took a look at the almanac he had drawn earlier.
[On the seventh day of August, it is suitable to take a bath and do renovations, but not to start a business, start a job, or do transactions.]
Suitable for bathing and decoration.
Kong Li quickly found a job for herself. Qiao Song must have found some strange door or passage in the coffee shop. It was impossible that it was only in the coffee shop and not here.
The demolition job is more suitable for her than serving meals.
[Feng Shui, geomancy and qi-gazing, if you learn the basics, you can look at buildings, but if you learn deeply, you can look at graves. ]
Kong Li is not very good at finding tombs, but if he looks at the buildings, he can still quickly find the weak points of the buildings.
She was not as meticulous as Qiao Song, but she knew exactly what water was used in the restaurant, the usage of various raw materials, and the decoration methods.
Kong Li walked straight into the kitchen, took a few casual glances, walked in floor by floor, and finally came to the storage room.
After Qiao Song no longer restricted her from using weapons of mass destruction, Kong Li directly struck the entrance to the basement with a bolt of lightning.
The owner of this restaurant had dark circles under his eyes and turned into a shadow when he slept at the counter. When Kong Li struck with a bolt of lightning, the ball-like shadow just turned over and continued to sleep.
Kong Li waited at the door for a while, and since no one tried to stop him, he continued to jump.
There were several more lightning strikes on the second floor, until the third floor, the floor could no longer be penetrated.
Kong Li heard a very strange sound of water.
The rushing water hits the rocks.
She lay on the ground, on the third-floor ceiling where the iron sheet was exposed, and heard the sound of gurgling water coming from the floor below.
strangeness.
Out of professional instinct, Kong Li looked around to observe the environment. The two basements were where food ingredients were stored. They were ordinary, but inexplicably they were filled with a strong smell of death and life, the two intertwined and difficult to describe.
Sister Qiao Song also went to the bottom of the coffee shop and found such a place?
Kong Li knew a little bit about the River of Life and Death.
Because of her profession, the president would occasionally tell her some related things so that she could prepare in advance.
But this was the first time Kong Li encountered a tributary of this river.
This certainly cannot be the mainstream of the River of Life and Death. After all, the President said that the main body of the River of Life and Death is a world completely submerged by water.
It couldn't be that small, and it was impossible for her to lie on the ceiling and listen to the sound of flowing water safely.
In order to cross the river, the top players of Infinite Highway spent all their money just to isolate themselves from the influence of the River of Life and Death. Kong Li stayed beside this small tributary for a long time and felt as if his soul was about to melt.
Just being there was a bit too uncomfortable.
While Kong Li was still thinking about whether to go down, he noticed that there were water pipes nearby that led directly underground.
Is this water transportation?
Wait, she had wondered before why coffee and the food produced by the restaurant could make people's souls enter a full state. Now it seems that it is related to this river?
After much consideration, Kong Li decided to follow the water pipe and start using tools to dismantle the house.
At the same time, on the third underground floor.
The color display screen and Wu Mada reached a consensus the moment they left the elevator.
"You want me to be your vanguard for free? No way! Letting me find a place to set up the internet is the reward we agreed on long ago. Don't think I don't know where the water you add to your coffee and food comes from?"
Boss Cai took off one of his gloves and quickly grabbed a special net from the void, sneering:
"I've been running a convenience store for so long, I know exactly what the characteristics of those products are and why they have those characteristics. I'm afraid you've also secretly fished out a lot of good stuff from the River of Life and Death."
Wu Ma on the other end of the video stopped talking.
This horse looks different from other zodiac signs, and always seems to be tired:
"Actually, I'm pretty tired too. I've said myself that I'm a fence-sitter. If Lao Niu treats me well, I'll listen to him. If Lao Hu bribes me with something of high value, I can take the initiative to surrender and give her my territory. This time, Chen Long took the initiative to find me, and I won't refuse either."
"But you...you are a guy who stole everything from a convenience store, and you still have the nerve to talk about me?" Wu Ma's tired eyes suddenly became sharp.
"We haven't agreed on the price for Snake yet, and you come here to lower my price... But I'm different from them. I work a day to earn a little money. If I go crazy, I can even give up this company, not to mention it's just a zoo."
Boss Cai was so irritated by the thief that veins popped out on his forehead.
Before he could utter a few curse words, he felt some unpleasant noises coming from the elevator shaft.
Boss Cai thought something was not good, so he quickly cast out a few more nets, preparing to catch enough resources and retreat immediately before any evil creature caught up with him.
Wu Ma did not hang up the video this time, but looked at this side with interest.
"… Surrendering to someone is not surrendering. A small company must follow the right boss to have a real chance of survival. Don't you agree, Boss Cai?"
Wu Ma finished speaking, and in the peripheral vision of the display screen, Qiao Song, like a lingering female ghost, tore apart a pipe on the side of the elevator shaft.
"Boss Cai, you look very interested. Are you planning to buy new souls from the tributaries of the River of Life and Death?"
The display screen that was being chased all the way turned really white.
How would she know?
