Chapter 52: Perfect New World (Twenty-two)
"Will this work?"
Twelve and Nan Huan stood in the area marked out for them by Hong Fen. She looked at Mr. Li's face, then looked at the celebration method that looked like that of a backward township-run enterprise from the 1970s and 1980s, and asked Nan Huan uncertainly.
"That should be possible."
This is how it is played out in TV dramas. Nanhuan originally wanted to use a more modern approach, but the style of the packaging workshop is more suitable for this approach.
After she said this, she winked at Hongfen.
The latter helplessly held the bouquet and approached Mr. Li.
"Leader, you have worked hard. This is a surprise prepared for you by all the employees in the packaging workshop. Thank you for your contribution to the packaging workshop over such a long time. We are all proud of you..."
Hongfen was like an emotionless machine, mechanically reciting the words that Nanhuan had prepared in advance, "We will also work harder to make the packaging workshop shine, defeat the raw material pretreatment area, and become the most indispensable department of the Perfect Company..."
"you……"
Engineer Li suddenly raised his head, spoke in a stern tone, and his face turned red.
Hongfen unconsciously took a step back and prepared plan B. If the other party didn't buy it and got angry, she would withdraw the fantasy space immediately.
As a result, as soon as she took a step back, the flowers in her hand were snatched away.
"I didn't expect..." His voice was a little choked up, and even a few tears squeezed out of his eyes, "I didn't expect that all the things I did silently, you all saw it, and specially prepared such a surprise for me. I am really touched..."
Hongfen stared at him in amazement as the other party, acting like a caring leader, began to give a continuous speech.
How I started out as a small packer and gradually became what I am today.
To encourage all employees to follow his example and work hard to make the packaging workshop shine.
"...I am very happy that you realize that our biggest competitor is the raw material pre-processing area. You should know that there is nothing good about being a first-class technician. One day, I will make the technicians in the packaging workshop the most desirable position for the company's employees. Of course, this cannot be achieved without the joint efforts of everyone..."
Mr. Li spoke in an eloquent voice, and the twelve people fell asleep listening to him.
"He really fell for it. I think our plan will be fine. But I don't understand why we have to stir up a conflict between the two workshops at this time?"
Hongfen's face was already frozen, but because the other party had not finished yet, the system could not score. She could only keep a cold face, lower her head, and pretend that she was humbly accepting the guidance of her leader.
Nan Huan had already asked Hongfen to change the sofa into a set, and several people sat on the sofa that was out of place in the packaging workshop and chatted. Anyway, Engineer Li couldn't see them.
Hearing Twelve's question, Nan Huan did not hide it, "I have to go out for a while, I have to create an opportunity and bring back a major item for the bonus task."
She yawned, then seemed to remember something and asked Wu Tong, who had no sense of presence, "I heard that your skill is to make an accurate judgment between two options?"
Wu Tong didn't know why he was suddenly noticed, but he had already seen how powerful Nan Huan was. He swallowed and nodded nervously.
"Then help me judge, which of these two things should I choose?"
Nan Huan's eyes lit up, thinking that this skill was quite interesting. He moved closer to the other person and told Wu Tong everything he wanted to judge in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
The latter's eyes, which were originally slightly surprised, turned involuntarily to glare at the boss after listening to Nan Huan, as if he couldn't believe what he had heard.
"Miss, you are not kidding, are you?" Wu Tong was so nervous that she started to stutter. "Is this... is this okay?"
"So I asked you to judge which one is more reliable?"
Nan Huan had actually made up his mind a long time ago, but after hearing about Wu Tong's skill, he thought it was always a good idea to have an extra layer of insurance.
Wu Tong closed his eyes tremblingly, clenched his hands at the same time, and muttered something in his mouth.
His face became paler and his brows furrowed deeper.
Finally, his entire body began to tremble, as if he was possessed by a ghost.
This process lasted about two minutes, and Wu Tong's clenched hand was suddenly opened.
His eyes immediately opened and he vomited a mouthful of blood.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly. When he realized that Nan Huan was still in front of him, he turned his head and did not vomit on Nan Huan.
But a few drops of blood were still splashed on Nan Huan's collar.
"The second option."
Wu Tong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gave Nan Huan an answer.
The remaining few people were all shocked. They didn't expect that he would suddenly vomit blood while they were having a good conversation.
They hurriedly helped Wu Tong up.
"I'm fine. If this skill is used to judge something serious, it will cause some backlash to the user. It's just a few mouthfuls of blood. It's not a big deal."
Wu Tong was a little flattered. Plus, he was the only man in the team, and he was so weak, so he felt a little embarrassed.
Everyone was relieved, but they all looked at Nan Huan with some curiosity.
What important question did you ask that made me so exhausted that I vomited blood?
Nan Huan felt a little embarrassed, and when he was about to say something, Bei Xi pulled him over.
She took out a handkerchief from somewhere and was carefully cleaning the blood stains on Nan Huan's clothes. She also winked at Twelve.
The latter understood what this meant and quickly took out the potion to restore Wu Tong's health.
Over there, as Mr. Li returned to his office, the illusion of Hongfen was gradually dissipating.
Chenyu and Luoyan supported Hongfen, one on each side, after she became weak.
"It counts for 5 points."
She did not forget to report the results of the battle to Nan Huan.
Nan Huan nodded, knowing that it took a lot of energy to create the illusion just now. "You take a rest for a while, and then just watch us."
They were just about to discuss the next steps of the plan, but as soon as the illusion was removed, they heard roaring coming from the operation workshop.
"Ripper, what do you want to do? Players are prohibited from killing each other in this game?"
This player's voice sounds familiar. He is the player who was deducted points from the Packaging Team 2 just now.
Although his words sounded convincing, they were not very confident, and as he was pulled closer to the door by the Ripper, he felt a sense of panic.
"Don't worry, I have no interest in killing you."
The Ripper dragged the man to the gate without much effort, and he sneered and said words that were not really comforting.
The player's expression finally improved a little because of his assurance.
But before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he was kicked into the door by the other party.
Just when everyone thought that the fragile door would be smashed into pieces by the players.
However, when the player touched the door, it emitted countless blue lasers that instantly penetrated the player's body.
[Warning, an intern was detected trying to escape from the packaging room during working hours, and the killing mode has been activated. ]
As the system's cold prompt sounded, the player rolled to the ground, no longer breathing.
Although those lasers disappeared in an instant and no scars were seen on the players' bodies, all the players saw the killing pattern just now.
However, what is more intriguing is the attitude of the other members of Packaging Team One and Packaging Team Two.
The people in the packaging team were not surprised, so it must have been planned long ago.
However, under such circumstances, no one from the Packaging Team 2 came out to stop it.
The system's notification sounded, which naturally alarmed Mr. Li in the office.
I don’t know if it’s because he has seen this kind of situation too many times, or if the illusion created by Hongfen just now was too destructive, and the other party has not yet gotten rid of the filter on the employees.
So Mr. Li didn't look too angry, he just glanced at the player lying on the ground with some displeasure.
"You all saw what I said before. During working hours, you cannot leave the packaging workshop without my permission. This is the consequence."
"I like obedient employees, and I hope you can all keep this in mind."
His eyes swept over the interns one by one, and it was obvious that these words were specifically addressed to them.
After he finished all this, he waved to an old employee not far away and said, "Go find security to handle it."
After all, a dead person lying here will affect everyone's work attitude.
But before Mr. Li finished explaining, Mu Xin jumped out first.
"Leader, why bother? Besides, this is exactly the wrapping paper we need. I believe he is willing to dedicate himself to the packaging workshop."
Seeing that Engineer Li had no intention of refutation, Mu Xin dragged the player's body to the operating table without much effort.
Then he raised his knife and cut open the body very skillfully.
The scalpel, as thin as a cicada's wing, pressed against the warm skin, separating the skin and flesh bit by bit.
This is different from the wrapping paper that needed to be cleaned just now. It has not been frozen for a long time and is not stained with just a little blood and flesh.
But a few minutes ago, he was still a player fighting side by side, and a few minutes later, before his body had even cooled down, he was ripped open.
Most of the players who enter the game are probably used to the death of players.
But very few players can get used to this kind of anatomical torture.
Except for the members of the packing team, the rest of the people didn't look very good, especially a few people who were so disgusted that they vomited because the players had stomachs full of red and yellow stuff.
However, Engineer Li was very happy when he saw Mu Xin's skillful movements.
[Player Mu Xin, helped an unknown player and devoted himself completely to the packaging workshop, 10 points.]
As Mu Xin finished his actions neatly and put the player's wrapping paper into a clean refrigerator, the system prompt finally sounded.
Mu Xin was happy that this method was effective, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Why would he do that?"
Wu Tong had finally recovered to normal thanks to Twelve's medicine, but when he saw such a bloody scene, he couldn't help but retched twice before standing up straight.
Nan Huan looked at everyone except Hongfen and Beixi, all of whom looked confused and disgusted, so he had to explain, "Have you forgotten the example the system gave about adding points?"
"10 points for dedicating yourself completely to the packing area."
Nan Huan remembered it very clearly. At first, she was wondering why people were deliberately driven out. Now it seems that Mu Xin must have been eyeing the other person's skin for a long time, but because the game prohibits players from killing each other, he had to use the death rule.
And it turns out that he should have succeeded.
"Similarly, helping others complete this task, which is ultimately beneficial to the packaging area, should also get extra points. Seeing that the other party did not show any reaction, it seems that he expected this result and was not surprised. He should also get 10 points."
Everyone took a breath, and Twelve and the others finally reacted.
"If this loophole is opened, isn't it encouraging everyone to kill each other?"
Although at present, with the military strength of their three packing teams, they can still deal with the rest of the people, but Twelve is worried that other people will come up with some shady tricks or cause some trouble because of this matter.
Nan Huan's face didn't look very good either. After all, she had never observed a living person being dissected at such a close distance.
But she still shook her head and explained to Twelve.
"No, do you know why the Packing Team 2 didn't stop that player when he was dragged away by the Ripper?"
Nan Huan had been a little confused since she saw this team in the morning, but now she finally understood Mu Xin's plan.
"That player was the weakest in their team. He completed the basic tasks the slowest and was also deducted points. For the team's average score, removing the lowest score is the best option when the total score does not increase significantly. So that player not only helped Packaging Team 1 gain points, but also saved Packaging Team 2 trouble. It was a two-birds-with-one-stone move."
"He didn't just pick someone randomly. He had a choice. Besides, he was the one who assigned the personnel in the first place."
"But the game prohibits doing the same thing multiple times, and there is the possibility of deduction of points. In addition, after something happens once, everyone is afraid of being treated as the second one. The people in the second packaging team are not stupid. When the number of people is already unbalanced, they should unite."
"Are we still going to follow the plan?" Hongfen had recovered from her weak state. "Obviously, the system prefers Mu Xin's method of killing each other. His score alone is higher than the three of us combined."
Hongfen was a little worried, because so far, their methods had been very gentle.
Although it worked and no points were deducted, the effect was not very good.
Nan Huan did not speak immediately. Her eyes were always on Engineer Li. She saw that he did not clean up the organs and flesh of the players after they were skinned, but instead ordered the security personnel to keep them.
Thinking that he might have guessed something right, he turned around and said something ambiguous.
"It wants to watch the killing of each other, so we'll let it watch to its heart's content."
Five minutes later.
The members of Packaging Team 3 scattered to different corners of the packaging workshop, while Bei Xi and Nan Huan stayed near Engineer Li's lounge.
Following Nan Huan's command from the communication tool, "Move."
In the entire packaging workshop, the glass on the top of the skylight was shot down at once.
As the glass fell, a rain of arrows filled the sky.
It was obvious that neither the old employees nor the interns had expected this sudden change.
Everyone looked for cover and protected themselves to avoid accidental injury.
The moment Mu Xin bent down, he did not forget to throw out the scalpel, close the lid of the refrigerator, and cover everyone's clean wrapping paper to avoid accidental injury.
However, after he hid, he found that although the rain of swords was fierce, its lethality was not great, and there was a piece of white cloth hanging at the end of each arrow.
There was no writing on it, just a clover pattern.
The Ripper also noticed something was wrong. He picked up an arrow, looked at it carefully, and then looked a little worried.
"I heard that the president's personal skills are related to the crossbow, but reliable sources say that the air arrows she shoots can explode, so they shouldn't be so harmless."
Mu Xin had naturally heard about the skills of the president. No matter what they were like, Mu Xin didn't think they were that bad. He stood up instantly and said, "They might be trying to cover up some action, so they made such a big noise. Come with me to Engineer Li's lounge."
The two of them stood up hurriedly, and as soon as they turned around, they saw Hongfen, Chenyu and Luoyan standing in front of the packaging team. It seemed that they were specially sent to slow them down.
Near the lounge, Twelve used props to change his facial features, and according to Nan Huan's request, he changed into a white uniform, painted a pattern on his chest, and put on a mask.
Then he cracked the whip and broke open the door of the lounge.
All the way into the lounge, there came the sound of whips and faint curses.
The two people hiding at the door breathed a sigh of relief.
The original plan was to have Bei Xi be the one to teach the NPC a lesson. After all, they were not sure about the combat power of NPC Li Gong, so it would be better to send Bei Xi, who had the highest combat power.
But because Nanhuan had given this right to Twelve for fun before, Beixi had his job taken away.
Now it seems that NPC Li Gong really only has the right to add and deduct points, and his other combat values are not maxed out.
Nan Huan calculated the time and the fighting power of Hongfen and the others.
After Twelve had vented his anger for a while, he took Bei Xi and hurriedly went to prepare to save Mei.
"Leader, leader, our packaging room was attacked..."
Nan Huan acted panicked, without any compromise, "Leader, are you okay... Who are you?"
Bei Xi's mouth twitched rarely as he looked at the two people who were having a lot of fun role-playing. He casually pulled out his iron axe and exchanged a few moves with Twelve, but he didn't use much strength and ended up leaving a flaw to the other party.
Twelve disappeared through the crack in the door.
Bei Xi put away his weapon, sighed, turned his head and forced a look of concern.
But it's not the kind of care for an injured leader, but the kind of care for the mentally retarded.
"Leader, are you okay? Come on, don't move..."
Nan Huan used the gentlest tone, but he used every stroke of the whip to specifically hit the spot where the twelve strokes of the whip would fall. He wanted to laugh in his heart, but he had to pretend to be very concerned on his face.
"Hey, are you okay?"
"Catch them..." Engineer Li was frightened by the sudden incident just now. Now that he was seen in such a miserable state by two interns, he felt even more embarrassed. "They are from the raw material pre-processing area. They deliberately attacked me..."
Nan Huan gave Bei Xi a look, as if saying.
Am I awesome? You see I didn't say anything, I just drew a pattern on the clothes. He was the one who wanted to shift the blame to that side. It has nothing to do with me.
Bei Xi pinched her fingers and seemed to like her sinister look.
But after just two pinches, Nan Huan pulled his hand away, and he was just about to hold down his lips that were about to curl up, and he turned around and became that servile look again.
"Leader, please don't worry. Let us treat your wound first and find the murderer later."
Nan Huan looked a little embarrassed. "Besides, that person was wearing a mask and covered her whole body so tightly. How can we be sure which department she is from?"
Come on, you’re not angry enough, get angrier.
As if Mr. Li could hear the voice in her heart, he snorted softly through his nose.
"What else is there to be uncertain about? Do they think that since I don't often go to the raw material pre-processing area, I don't know the sign? How dare they attack me so blatantly, hiss..."
He got up from the ground angrily, pulled the wound, and couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
Seeing that Mr. Li had suffered enough, it was natural for him to give him some sweet treat, so he made some space for Bei Xi to use to treat his injuries.
