Chapter 127 Hot-Blooded Company (15)
Because Mo Qianhe was delayed for some time, they moved the meeting floor up to the purchasing department on the 46th floor.
On the way downstairs, Xian Hai recounted in as much detail as possible what happened after Brain Boss swallowed the golden skin.
Mo Qianhe recorded his words and sent them to the group of five people.
Mo Qianhe concluded, "It seems that the reason the Chief Brain wants us to identify loyal employees is not to reward them, but to eat their shining parts."
Liu Tang nodded. "It seems that after eating the loyal employees, his body will be strengthened in some way? If he eats the wrong ones, his body will be weakened. That's why he is so angry."
Xian Hai's knees hurt as he walked down the stairs, and he gasped, "Can you go a little slower?"
Mo Qianhe turned around and replied, "There's black smoke chasing you from behind. You can slow down a bit and try your luck to see if the black smoke will let you go."
Xian Hai leaned down on the railing and asked, "Isn't that black smoke from an explosion?"
Mo Qianhe pointed at the ceiling light in the hallway and said, "The power hasn't been restored yet, and the normal NPCs in the work area haven't appeared. This means we're still in 'hunting mode.' There's no such thing as black smoke, but there are other black smoke."
Liu Tang said at this time: "I just saw that the black smoke from the explosion was He Miao."
Xian Hai was shocked: "W-what?!"
Mo Qianhe didn't doubt Liu Tang's statement and speculated, "No wonder I didn't hear the system announce He Miao's elimination before. It seems that the players who were burned to death will join the Boss and hunt other players."
Liu Tang: "After she ate Mr. Heart's heart, her reaction was actually very similar to what Mr. Brain said after he ate his skin.
"Both experienced a rapid rise in body heat. The only difference was that Nao Zong managed to hold on, while He Mu exploded directly."
Min Liang joined the discussion in the group: "If Xin Zong is also someone who is not loyal to the company, then the negative effect of them eating these people is that the heat in their bodies will increase further."
Mo Qianhe: "Then conversely, if they eat the loyal people, perhaps their body temperature will drop and they will become normal people at the beginning."
Feng Wenbai raised the question: "So, our real way to pass this level is to let the Brain eat those who are loyal to the company, or to protect those who are loyal to the company and prevent them from being eaten?"
When they finally reached the 46th floor, Feng Wenbai and Feng Xiansu were already waiting there.
Xian Hai was so tired that he sat down by the door, gasping for breath.
He wiped the sweat from his head and listened to everyone's discussion, with dark thoughts in his mind:
Since the boss will be cured by eating the golden organ of a loyal employee, does that mean that if he eats the other person's golden organ, he will no longer feel hot, or he will be able to pass the level directly?
NPC Mr. Wei heard the noise outside the office and walked out, complaining dissatisfiedly about this group of disobedient employees, but was ignored by several people.
Liu Tang had been pondering Feng Wenbai's question the entire time, and now he had an answer in mind. He addressed the others who had already arrived, "No matter how the rules of the dungeon change, the outcome should always be in the 'correct' direction. An employee loyal to the company, no matter what, should never be 'eaten' by the boss. Therefore, our method for clearing the dungeon won't be to let the boss eat the loyal executive..."
Mr. Wei was already very close to the five players. When he heard Liu Tang's words, he was completely baffled. "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by eating?"
Feng Xiansu looked at the round-faced man impatiently and shouted, "Shut up! Go back to your office!"
Mr. Wei was startled by the yelling. When he came to his senses, he became furious and was about to curse the girl in front of him when Mo Qianhe came forward and slapped him unconscious.
Min Liang also arrived at this time. He supported himself on his knees and took a deep breath, saying intermittently: "You really want to kill me."
Mo Qianhe looked at everyone and said, "Okay, now that everyone is here, we need to summarize the information and analyze what went wrong."
Xian Hai was a little confused for a moment: "Error?"
Mo Qianhe nodded: "According to Lao Cheng's choice, he should have believed through the process of elimination that Mr. Skin from the Security Department is a loyal employee. In other words, Lao Cheng confirmed that Mr. Stomach from the Purchasing Department is disloyal.
"And obviously, Feng Xiansu found out that there was something wrong with Mr. Skin. At the same time, the backlash that the Brain Boss suffered after eating Mr. Skin also confirmed this.
"So at this point, after we've investigated six executives, we've found that all six of them are disloyal to the company, and there's a high probability that something went wrong."
After hearing this, the players slowly came to their senses.
Min Liang said, "Could it be that there are no employees who are loyal to the company?"
Feng Wenbai frowned. "It's not impossible... but if there really aren't any loyal employees, how are we supposed to get through this?"
Feng Xiansu raised another question: "Even if there is such a loyal employee and we find him, then what? We can't let the Brain Eater eat him, so how are we supposed to pass the level?"
The audience in the live broadcast room was also confused:
"I'm confused, brothers."
"I've read the messages from both the scammer Lao Cheng and Sister Feng, but I still don't understand what's wrong."
"What's the point of this question, Sister Feng? Isn't preventing the Brain Boss from eating the loyal employees the key to passing the level?"
"What she meant was that this 'hunting mode' has no time limit. Even if they decide which NPC to protect, they don't know how long they have to protect it to complete the game."
"Oh, I finally understand. My goodness, Sister Feng entered the '18th Floor' much later than me, and she sees things more sharply than I do."
Mo Qianhe led everyone's thinking and said, "Let's deal with each problem one by one. First, review all our deduction processes to see if there are any problems.
"Assuming there are indeed loyal employees in this company, and they are among the six executives, who is it?"
Feng Xiansu raised her hand first: "The most obvious person to be sure of right now is Mr. Skin. He is definitely not a loyal employee because Mr. Brain has already eaten him and his judgment is wrong."
Everyone nodded.
Min Liang raised his hand and said, "It's definitely not Mr. Pancreas. I heard him say with my own ears that the raw materials should be replaced with inferior ones. There is also a recording here."
As he said this, he played the recording that he had eavesdropped on using the "Walls Have Ears" tool to everyone, and indeed found nothing suspicious.
Liu Tang also produced the recording and explained, "Not only did President Xin have an extramarital affair with the HR Director, Mr. Jishu, but he also embezzled company funds to invest with Mr. Jishu. This is clearly a sign of disloyalty to the company."
Mo Qianhe nodded: "The same logic can prove that Mr. Ji is not loyal to the company either."
Feng Wenbai didn't say much. He took out the data record form that Miss Chang from the marketing department had created and used for personal purposes, and projected it directly in front of everyone using the communicator. He soon determined that there was something wrong with this NPC.
In the end, only Xian Hai and Lao Cheng were left to investigate Mr. Wei from the purchasing department.
Everyone focused their attention on Xian Hai, who was sweating profusely.
Seeing him like this, everyone felt extremely hot, as if their blood was burning.
Xian Hai felt the gazes of the crowd, and he felt uneasy. "Mr. Wei does have a problem. I, we found everything, and it's all in the work equipment."
He got up and walked to his workstation, wanting to turn on his office equipment to show others the information he had found, but found that there was a power outage and he couldn't turn it on.
He suddenly became even more panicked, and felt his whole body was hot and sticky, as if ants were crawling on his skin.
Seeing this, Min Liang felt somewhat helpless: "He's really a newbie. He doesn't even have the awareness to copy important data to his system panel or communicator."
Feng Wenbai watched Xian Hai become increasingly flustered and bewildered, and quickly comforted him, "Although Lao Cheng's character is not good, he does have strength. He is sure that there is something wrong with Mr. Wei, so this NPC must be problematic.
"You just need to repeat to us as many details as you can remember."
Xian Hai nodded repeatedly as if he had been pardoned. He wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve and tried to recall: "We found out that Mr. Wei would receive kickbacks from the Flame Rice Company every once in a while.
"He was very sneaky. When he notified us of the receipt of kickbacks, he put the name of the courier company as the sender, so we didn't notice it at first."
Min Liang worked in the production department, so he knew that the raw materials the production department received from the purchasing department were indeed from Flame Rice. After confirming that they were not lying, he continued, "So, every time Rexue Company purchases raw materials from Flame Rice, Mr. Wei gets a kickback?"
Xian Hai nodded. "Yes, that's right. I remember Lao Cheng saying that although the raw materials from Flame Rice are of high quality, one statistic doesn't meet the production department's requirements. On the contrary, the raw materials produced by another company, while not as high quality overall, are not only cheaper, but every statistic also meets the production department's requirements. Mr. Wei doesn't care about this and just wants to purchase more expensive raw materials to make more money."
Min Liang turned to look at the fainted NPC and said angrily, "Sure enough, he's not loyal to the company either, you bastard."
After saying this, everyone fell silent.
After such an investigation, all executives still had problems.
They returned to their original starting point.
Feng Xiansu couldn't help but frown: "Could it be that... loyal employees really don't exist?"
"Wait a minute," Mo Qianhe raised his hand, looked at Xian Hai, and asked seriously, "You said there's another company whose raw materials are qualified?"
Xian Hai nodded: "Yes, yes."
"Do you remember the name of that company?"
Xian Hai thought carefully: "I heard Lao Cheng say it was called something like Chicken..."
Feng Xiansu was puzzled. "Chicken? Aren't all of our company's patents related to plants? The raw materials we use should also be derived from plants, right? I confirmed this when I checked the company's internal patents in the Cybersecurity Department."
Min Liang was also confused: "I haven't heard of this raw material supplier in the production department either."
Liu Tang understood what Mo Qianhe meant and turned to ask Min Liang, "You said before that Mr. Pancreas resold the raw materials and replaced them with lower quality and cheaper ones. Do you remember the name of the original supplier?"
Min Liang recalled: "I remember it was called glutinous rice, no, it seemed to be purple rice..."
When Xian Hai heard the name, he suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "Yes, that's purple rice. What chicken purple rice?"
After being prompted, Min Liang finally remembered the company name: "Nujijiji Zimi! I remember it now."
Xian Hai nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, it seems to be this one!"
Feng Xiansu on the side: "..."
It is also quite outrageous that "Nuojijiji Zimi" can remember the two words "jizi" out of context.
Mo Qianhe and Liu Tang exchanged a glance and both understood: "It seems we have found a loyal employee."
The two quickly gathered the others and headed to the 20th floor.
When Min Liang heard he was going to the production department he had just left, he complained, "If I had known I was going to the 20th floor, I wouldn't have had to come up! What's the point of going up and down all this time?"
Xian Hai was still confused and asked, "What's going on?"
Liu Tang patiently explained, "Didn't you just say that although the overall quality of the raw materials purchased by the purchasing department is high, there is one data point that does not meet the requirements of the production department?
"On the contrary, the raw materials from Nuojiji Zimi can meet the requirements of the production department in all data."
"Yes, that's right." Xian Hai panted as he walked down the stairs.
Min Liang finally realized, "So, Mr. Pancreas sells expensive, substandard raw materials and buys cheaper, qualified ones. It's not because he wants to make a profit, but to produce a qualified product."
Liu Tang nodded. "That's right. So, although Mr. Pancreas seems to be disloyal to the Passionate Company, he is actually a truly loyal employee."
Min Liang suddenly realized: "So that's how it is! This copy is really deceptive! We almost got fooled!"
