Chapter 131 Two Announcements
At seven o'clock in the morning, Meng Qingyin finished washing up and eating breakfast. When she opened the law enforcement interface, she found that "Start Law Enforcement" was still unselectable.
At that moment, there was also a message in the management group.
[Pheasant: I'm speechless. Is this 996 work schedule insane?]
[White Fox: It seems you've already received the notification?]
[Pheasant: I'm so angry! How could they make me work overtime! I usually only need to handle three violations before I can go home, but now it's increased to six!]
[White Fox: Trust me, you'll get used to it eventually.]
[Pheasant: Damn it, my two-day weekend is gone! Now it's only one day off a week! I'm mortal enemies with this 996 work schedule!]
[Pheasant: Aaaaaah, I'm going crazy!]
[Pheasant: 007, please come back soon!]
[Pheasant: Brother White Fox, Brother Gray Wolf, Brother Hyena, Brother Honey Badger, you guys are all so powerful, could you help me negotiate and get 007 back?]
[White Fox: There's nothing I can do to help.]
[Azure Wolf: I feel sorry for you for a second.]
[Hyena: Wake up, the die is cast.]
[Honey Badger: Why don't you try to take down the new system?]
【pheasant:……】
[Pheasant] has given up, and the group has fallen silent again.
Meng Qingyin frowned as she looked at it.
The pheasant didn't experience the same situation as her; in fact, its workload increased.
Is the new system specifically targeting her?
But surely a system wouldn't make things difficult for itself?
Meng Qingyin couldn't figure out the reason either, and the next moment, she received a message from 996.
[Enforcement Officer No. 666, effective today, you will be on extended leave and will not be required to participate in enforcement activities for the time being. The date of your return to work is to be determined.]
Meng Qingyin never expected that the first fire of the new 996 leadership would actually burn her head.
However, it's also possible that she overestimated herself, and that 996 didn't really care about her at all.
Giving her a leave of absence is a trivial decision.
After all, she was chosen by 007 as an enforcer, and given that 996 is the current system, it's not unreasonable to "suspend" her.
However, why doesn't 996 simply remove her from her law enforcement role and just give her a long vacation?
Fine, I'll take the vacation then.
She doesn't make a living from this.
To Meng Qingyin's surprise, just a few seconds later, 996 issued another announcement for the entire region.
This is its second announcement since taking office, and it has caused a huge uproar in the chat area.
[Announcement 1: Starting tomorrow, the target driving mileage will revert to 200km per day, with an additional 20km per day. Please be aware of this.]
The cicadas chirped as the sun set: "What? The target mileage has returned to what it was before? That's hard to say."
Zhao Moyue: "Yeah, isn't this just changing policies all the time? Can things be done so casually?"
I'm speechless: "Although we now have anti-skid tires and the target mileage isn't too difficult, the sudden return to 996 gives me a bad feeling."
I'm the Lucky One (Poor Man's Version): "Let me tell you something you all haven't noticed. Previously, the target mileage also increased daily, but only by 10km. The 996 announcement, however, states it increases by 20km daily! They're secretly up to something!"
Wanting to meet with Boss Meng: "This is terrifying to think about! What's the purpose of the 996 work schedule? Is it deliberately making things difficult for us?"
The elderly man remarked, "This is a new broom sweeping clean and establishing his authority."
Mo Ranran: "And this is only announcement one. Will there be announcement two, or even announcement three later?"
Xiao Kalami: "Just from this first announcement, you can tell that 996 is up to something. I'm afraid the following announcements won't be optimistic. Everyone should be prepared."
996 Happy Every Day: "Excuse me, did the system just change my name?"
996: "...Holy crap, I didn't even notice until you told me, my name was secretly changed too!"
996 Treat Me Better: "...I give up! Why are we being given a name change? @996, come out and give us an explanation!"
996: "Bro, you tagged the wrong person, that's me."
996 My God: "I'm disgusted. I'm willing to pay a high price for a name change card. Does anyone have one?"
I'm a lucky guy (poor guy version): "You guys are so pitiful. I have one name change card here. It's out, first come, first served."
996: "...I'm speechless. The name change card doesn't work! The system says I changed my name less than a month ago and can't change it again!"
I'm a lucky person (poor version): "Huh? But the interval between my two name changes wasn't even a month, so why didn't I get this notification?"
Sixteeny: "Is it possible that this restriction only applies to those who work 996?"
Yu Wuyue: "So, this second fire has spread to you?"
Cksz: "I'm not saying this out loud, but isn't this new system a bit too petty? They even forcibly changed players' nicknames? Won't it become a one-man show from now on?"
Just when the chat was at its most heated, Announcement Two arrived.
[Announcement 2: Starting tomorrow, more monsters will appear on the highways. Please be aware.]
Her sweet little mouth chattered: "This is absolutely amazing! This idiot isn't even pretending to work 996 anymore? He's practically screaming 'I'm going to cause trouble' on his face?"
[Player "小嘴叭叭可真甜" has been detected to have insulted the system and has been banned for ten days!]
I'm an unlucky person: "...Outrageous."
The lonely square root of three: "...indeed."
Mo Cangyi: "When 007 was around, he never interfered with these things. The new system... is really a joke."
Yi Yi: "It's quite a schoolbag."
Karami: "Indeed, a beaker."
A little girl who loves frozen lip gloss: "The future looks bleak, do we even have a future?"
Jiaming: "Let's meet force with force and water with earth."
Star River Doesn't Enter My Dream: "Trembling with fear, will there be another announcement three?"
It was past 10 p.m. when the players still hadn't received Announcement 3, so it seems unlikely that it will be released.
That night, everyone's mood was particularly heavy. Some people went to bed early to rest and recharge, while others suffered from insomnia until late at night.
Meng Qingyin closed the announcement without expression.
She remembered the factional disputes that the management group had mentioned.
The 996 work style is clearly the opposite of 007's.
If 007 has good intentions towards players and provides them with convenience in every way...
The 996 work schedule is full of malice, and its intention to destroy players is obvious.
With such a system taking over District 30, one can imagine the bloodshed and chaos that would follow.
Are all their players just fish waiting to be slaughtered?
Meng Qingyin used to be able to contact 007 directly, but she doesn't know if that function is still available.
Thinking about it, she opened the main interface of the watch.
That small button marked 007 is still lit up!
