Chapter 40: The mission to change the Profession (4) |
She didn’t seem to notice that Bai Lian was observing her and said with a smile:
“My name is Lin Shuqing. I’m also a newcomer and just started working at the company. I look forward to working with you.”
Bai Lian extended his hand and shook hers lightly.
“Great!”
For some reason, Lin Shuqing felt an inexplicable sense of goodwill toward this new colleague.
She couldn’t even understand where this feeling came from.
Perhaps… it was because he was handsome?
After that, when work began, she kept stealing glances at Bai Lian.
His face was pleasant to look at.
“Shuqing, is there something on my face?”
When Lin Shuqing was contemplating whether to glance at him again, Bai Lian’s voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts.
She was startled and turned to him in confusion.
“Huh? No… nothing!”
“Then why do you keep looking at me?”
Lin Shuqing blushed slightly and lowered her head a little.
Hmm… her chest line was quite noticeable to Bai Lian.
“Actually, if you’re curious, you can look openly. It doesn’t bother me,” Bai Lian said with a smile.
Lin Shuqing almost couldn’t hold back her laughter.
“Ahem, by the way, I have a few work-related questions I’d like to discuss with you. It might take a bit of your time.”
To dispel the awkward atmosphere, Bai Lian decided to change the subject.
Hearing his words, Lin Shuqing finally raised her head.
She also sighed in relief, smiling: “Bai Lian, you’re too polite. We’re colleagues; we should help each other at work.”
“Besides, didn’t we just agree to consult each other more often?”
Bai Lian nodded with a smile: “I guess I’m being too formal.”
“But still, you’re spending your time on me. As compensation, can I treat you to a drink?”
Lin Shuqing was about to decline.
But before she could say a word, a cup of milk tea had already appeared in Bai Lian’s hand.
Seeing the milk tea, Lin Shuqing asked in surprise: “What’s this drink?”
“Milk tea. Girls usually like it,” Bai Lian replied, looking at her. “It’s very tasty. Try it.”
This milk tea was something he had exchanged in the shop.
Ten cups at a fairly good price.
Very cost-effective and with an additional effect.
If he felt thirsty, he could drink it himself, but if needed, it also helped establish strange connections.
Of course, the fact that he had so quickly struck up a conversation with Lin Shuqing wasn’t just due to his looks but also the title he had earned after clearing the “Fifth Estate” dungeon.
Title: Friend of Anomalies
How to Obtain the Title: The player receives the title after clearing the E-rank dungeon “Fifth Estate” with an SSS rating!
Title Effect: When the title is equipped, the player gains a certain level of favorability from anomalies upon entering a dungeon. The level of favorability depends on the dungeon’s difficulty!
The Class Change Dungeon, although more challenging than an E-rank dungeon, was still classified as E-rank.
And the “Friend of Anomalies” title grants Bai Lian 50 points of favorability from anomalies in E-rank dungeons!
Even if Bai Lian didn’t equip the title and its effect was halved, it would still give him 25 points of goodwill!
25 points of goodwill were more than enough to make the anomaly’s first impression of Bai Lian a friendly one!
Bai Lian even suspected that his senior brother, Luo Yuan, had initially arranged things this way because he also had a high level of goodwill.
Hearing Bai Lian’s words, Lin Shuqing picked up the cup of milk tea and took a small sip.
“Mmm~~!”
Just a tiny sip, and her eyes immediately sparkled.
“This is so delicious!”
“This is called milk tea, right?”
“Bai Lian, do you know where I can buy this?”
Seeing Lin Shuqing’s joy, which was almost overflowing, Bai Lian shook his head.
“This is the only one. You can’t find it anywhere else.”
Milk tea was something only Bai Lian had.
Other players, unless they were as wealthy and inclined to indulge as he was, were unlikely to use their rule points to exchange for such things.
After all, it was too wasteful.
“I see. Well, that’s a pity…” Lin Shuqing said, a little disappointed.
She immediately felt that the milk tea in her hands had become even more delicious, but there was too little of it!
“By the way, didn’t you have something to ask?” Lin Shuqing continued to sip the tea, not forgetting Bai Lian’s question.
“Is there anything I should pay attention to in our company?” Bai Lian asked.
He wanted to learn all the rules of this task through Lin Shuqing.
After several successful dungeon clears, Bai Lian had begun to understand some patterns.
For example, tasks within the rules were usually related to the player’s role.
For instance, in the beginner clinic dungeon, Bai Lian was a doctor, and his rules were the doctor’s code.
In the “Fifth Estate,” he was a regular employee, and his rules were the employee handbook.
Similarly, since Bai Lian was now an employee of Phantom Corporation…
The rules of this dungeon were likely the company’s internal regulations!
Lin Shuqing put down the cup of milk tea and thought for a moment.
“Important points?”
“When entering the boss’s office, always knock on the door.”
“The company restrooms: men’s on the left, women’s on the right. Don’t mix them up.”
“Client requests can only be rejected three times. If you reject more, there will be punishment.”
“And it’s better not to go to the fifth floor and above. That’s probably all…”
She counted on her fingers as she answered seriously.
As she spoke, Bai Lian also wrote everything down on paper.
“Is that all?”
Lin Shuqing thought for a moment and nodded.
“I think that’s it.”
She still seemed a little unsure.
She had just started working and probably didn’t know much yet.
“Thank you. Your advice has been very helpful.”
Bai Lian sincerely thanked her.
With this information, he could have his workers complete a few more tasks.
Yes, that’s right.
Bai Lian wasn’t planning to complete the tasks himself.
He had the “Workers” skill.
Every time two people completed a task, it was as if Bai Lian himself had completed one task.
If a hundred people each completed one task, Bai Lian would complete forty-nine and a half!
Chatting with a girl.
And extracting useful information from her so that his workers would die as little as possible.
Wasn’t that much easier than struggling to complete tasks himself?
【Has Bai Shen already made contact with the girl?】
【Did you see how she looked at him? It was almost like love!】
“If you’re handsome, can you do whatever you want? While others are terrified in the dungeon, you’re here flirting with girls. You definitely deserve punishment!”
“The difference between people is greater than the difference between people and dogs. Damn, I can’t even find a girlfriend in real life, and Bai Lian is calmly flirting with women in this strange world.”
“By the way, Bai Lian can already communicate with this strange world. Doesn’t that mean he’s far ahead of other players?”
