Chapter 28: A Reasonable Nonsense

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Monday.

It was the origin of all evil in the world, or rather, it was the countless days since the laborers began to enter the infinite cycle of work.

Lin Shu, who hadn’t completely left his job, would still be woken up by the working music and alarm.

“Even I’ve been workin’ man, dang near all my life, but I’ll keep workin’.

“As long as my two hands are fit to use.”

Lin Shu woke up in a daze. His soul supported his body as he got out of bed. He was thinking about how great it would be if he could get a Shadow Puppet to go to work in his place!

As soon as that thought appeared, Lin Shu slapped himself!

“Lin Shu, it’s still early in the morning. Can you wake up?

“You already have a Shadow Puppet, but you still want to go to work. You are a moron. I, Lin Shu, look down on you!” Lin Shu muttered to himself.

Lin Shu proceeded to brush his teeth and looked at himself in the mirror. He knew that he didn’t have a Shadow Puppet, which was why he said that. If someone asked him if he was willing to donate a hundred million Yuan to the country, he would naturally be willing to do so because he didn’t have 100 million.

Lin Shu knew that he was a person with a system, but his life didn’t change much having the system. He still had to go to work.

For some reason, he felt like an idiot!

Even though he could see the winning numbers, he couldn’t be sure if they were real or not.

It was a shame.

Lin Shu looked at his virtual panel and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you there, system? Can we have a conversation like other systems?”

There was no response.

After washing up, Lin Shu looked at the set of numbers written on the book on his desk. His eyes suddenly became determined, and he continued to level up and kill monsters to get items. Who knew, the next time he leveled up, he might get a divine item that was even more powerful than the Eye of Prophecy.

And that set of numbers might be today’s winning number.

‘I’ll go buy lottery tickets after work!’ Lin Shu thought.

…

With that kind of anticipation, Lin Shu began his day of hard work and experience.

Beep!

Congratulations! You have been logged in to work for six consecutive days. You gained 80 Exp. Points and 18 Gold Coins.

When Lin Shu entered the office, many of his colleagues came over to greet him. They were all talking about how he had bravely caught the thief on the bus during the weekend.

It had to be said that this matter was at the peak of the company’s popularity. First thing today, the company’s Human Resources Department had already written a notice on the intranet to praise Lin Shu. At the same time, they had also attached a letter of commendation from the police station.

“Lin Shu, you’re amazing. The internet is still filled with news about you. I even saw a video of you catching a thief on the bus. You’re really amazing.”

“Yeah, you’re really amazing. I heard that many influencer agencies are looking for you to sign with. Congratulations.”

“Your encounter is on the trending search. It’s very impressive.”

“I’ve read the letter of commendation from the police station. The company’s intranet has also posted a notice of commendation.”

“What’s the point of just praising? There’s no material reward.”

…

Lin Shu didn’t know what to say to these enthusiastic remarks, because he knew that before this, some people had ridiculed him for going to the police station to record his statement.

Lin Shu smiled and said a few words, not intending to continue the conversation.

The Idler Chen Ping didn’t care much about what was happening on the internet. He was just half-lying on the chair and reading some documents. When he saw Lin Shu, he grinned.

Seeing Chen Ping’s bright smile, Lin Shu felt a little scared.

That was all because of the Idler title above Chen Ping’s head.

However, what made Lin Shu even more depressed was the Pessimist Qi Yuan beside him.

“You’re doing well during the weekend. You were praised for your bravery. Congratulations, unlike me, I’m always working overtime during the weekends. I don’t have to work on Sundays, but I was called over to work on an urgent task. It’s so annoying.

“I’m telling you, you really can’t imagine how much it’s going too far. I’m really annoyed to death actually…”

Qi Yuan still wanted to say something, but Lin Shu had already begun his work to gain more Exp. Points. He didn’t want to be continuously attacked by the Pessimists.

Lin Shu was now at level 21, and his experience bar was 182/120000. Seeing the long string of zeros behind it, Lin Shu felt a sense of pressure.

‘Why couldn’t the system be more friendly to us players like online games. We could just kill a monster to level up. Isn’t that better?’ Lin Shu thought.

Even though he had such a thought, Lin Shu still continued to farm Exp. Points honestly.

Beep!

Congratulations! You have completed 1 rework plan. You gained 289 Exp. Points and 15 Gold Coins.

Beep!

Congratulations! You have completed a working guidebook. You gained 301 Exp. Points and 23 Gold Coins.

Beep!

Congratulations! You have completed the technical flowchart. You gained 291 Exp. Points and 22 Gold Coins.

Beep!

Lin Shu was working hard to gain Exp. Points. He was quite happy to see his Exp. Points rising continuously.

After all, this was his modded game system. Naturally, he had to complete the game upgrade strategy and reach the peak of his life as soon as possible.

…

After dealing with some work matters, Lin Shu was finally free, so he went directly to his superior, Zhao Xuan to ask for leave.

He had already applied for his resignation. Normally, he only needed to work for a month before he could leave. However, he still had a few days of annual leave and time off that he had not used. In total, he could take eight days off.

Naturally, Lin Shu had to take eight days off before leaving.

“You’re so busy now and you still want to take leave?” Zhao Xuan asked.

Hearing Lin Shu’s request for leave, Zhao Xuan was naturally unhappy.

A superior would naturally be unhappy that his employees didn’t take leave for urgent matters, not to mention that Lin Shu was asking for eight days of leave. This really made Zhao Xuan quite dissatisfied.

Many people in the office perked up their ears to listen to the conversation between Lin Shu and Zhao Xuan, hoping that some exciting drama would appear again.

“Yeah, I can’t waste my annual leave and my time off,” said Lin Shu.

Naturally, Zhao Xuan could understand Lin Shu’s intentions. He wanted to utilize his annual leave and time offs before leaving his job. However, Zhao Xuan definitely didn’t want Lin Shu to leave just like that. After all, even if Huang Wen took over Lin Shu’s project, there were still many things that Lin Shu had to deal with.

Zhao Xuan looked at Lin Shu and directly said, “Then you can take a few days off.”

Lin Shu furrowed his brow and asked, “So will the company compensate me for the remaining leaves as overtime?”

Zhao Xuan felt a little embarrassed.

In Zhao Xuan’s mind, he thought that was out of the question.

Zhao Xuan shook his head in denial and said, “There are so many things to do now, and you still want to take leave and such a long leave at that. That is not advisable. Since the project has just started its trial production, how can you take leave at this time?

“You’re leaving next month anyway, so don’t ask for leave!”

A line of text floated out from the top of Zhao Xuan’s head.

Level 5 Gasbag

Skill: Talks excessively about trivial matters, leaving people speechless.

Incoming attack! The Level 10 Gasbag spat a mouthful of reasonable-sounding nonsense at you, and it’s all over your face!

Lin Shu was speechless. He had an inexplicable urge to flip the table(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻, and cursed.
