Chapter 158: Historical Materialism
Here is the first chapter (semi-abandoned version) of the Wing End Storm of the Brain Lobes, Inc. fanfiction that I wrote a year ago.
I don't plan to give up yet, and I kind of want to restart.
ββββββ
So β why am I standing here?
Standing in front of the door of Illusion O-03-03, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Obviously, I passed the training test with the best results in the same period, but I was assigned to this ghost place where birds don't, and this branch even only opened the control department!
Those guys walking around?
Oh, and civilian employees don't have human rights.
Malkuth in the headphones is urging me again, it seems that I have been standing here in a daze for a long time, so ......
Go in and stare at the skull inside.
I'll see what kind of job my supervisor has assigned me...... Okay, insight, in the face of new anomalies who don't know the information, they first choose insight, and it seems that this supervisor is more stable.
That's good news for me. At least the chances of being dragged to the head for no reason are slightly lower, albeit only a little.
I silently sighed inwardly, and with professionalism, I began to carry out the insight work of the standard model.
Now that you've been assigned here, you can only do it first. The process of applying for a change of company is too complicated, and with my current level, I will definitely be stuck for a long time, and I may offend the director of this branch because of this.
It's better to work hard and promote the rank first, so that you can have a certain status in the company, at least when the supervisor asks me to die, I will feel hesitant because I am distressed...... Meow's requirements are so low!
If the director really dared to let me go to death, he would just stop doing it, pick up this skull and rush all the way into the main control room to explode his brain!
Anyway, the company is now a regular employee of me, and the combat effectiveness of the civilian staff is negligible, and those AI ...... Can Angela rush out through the screen and hit me? Malkuth, can that box still stop me?
Anyway, I've also been trained and formally strengthened by the headquarters of the Brain Lobe Company, so it shouldn't be a problem to beat up a non-combat supervisor.
It seems that the employee I am working on is not an orthodox combat position?
Forget it.
After I had done my mental work, I focused all my attention on what was in front of me.
Insight is halfway there, but what did I write in the notebook just now?
Well, I suddenly lost my memory, so I guess I shouldn't be able to flip through it now.
Just when I stopped working to read the records, the skull that had always given the green grid to honestly produce capacity suddenly came down in a failure.
......
I silently stopped flipping through the record and looked up at it.
It was mental damage just now?I don't feel anything?It seems that the damage value is quite low.,This anomaly is not threatening.γ
No, not necessarily.
I looked at its shape, and looked at the stable bony structure! Look at the hard metal cross!
So I wrote on the record that "mental damage is extremely low, physical damage is extremely high but not easy to trigger." β
If someone else were to do the insight work, I am afraid that they would only be able to see information about the mental damage, and completely ignore the powerful physical damage that the anomaly can cause.
Sure enough, I'm the best employee!
After that, there were two more failures in energy harvesting, but the damage was not painful and could be ignored.
When the ten PE-BOXES were filled with green or red work results, I put away the record book and walked out of the room, and according to the company's system, the information I gained was transmitted to the AI of the Intelligence Department, Yesod.
It seems that the result of this work is good? It's okay, it's okay, it's definitely not my problem, it's definitely the type of work that the supervisor chooses is wrong.
Let's go back to the lounge and have a cup of coffee.
Anyway, the company's coffee is unlimited and free of charge, and you don't drink it for nothing.
Holding a slightly hot cup, I watched happily as the civilians who didn't know what they were doing all day long.
The treatment of the lobe company is really good, and the "wings of the world" do not deceive me, and it is really the right thing to recommend me to come to the lobe.
The thought was only in my mind for three seconds before it was shattered by a female voice in the headphones: "I, please do your instinctive work on the anomaly O-03-03 immediately. β
Me: "......" Didn't the supervisor see that I didn't even have time to take a sip of coffee?
Complaining is complaining, and work still has to be done.
I am well aware of the obligations that come with accepting the high wages and benefits of Brain Lobe.
Putting down the cup that had not yet been warmed, I straightened my suit and walked out of the break room, and walked to the door of O-03-03 again, watching as the door opened automatically sensing the approaching personnel.
Wait a minute!
Let's not talk about why such a company, which has particularly strengthened its combat capability during training, has the basic equipment for its employees to be suited, let's just talk about this door......
Isn't this kind of place supposed to be equipped with at least a triple combination lock and seven layers of isolation belts?!
At this moment, I suddenly wondered if I had come to a black-hearted company and said that the lives of good employees were safe?
This doesn't make people feel that their lives are safe at all!
Is it too late to resign?
It should be too late.
I remember that the process and review of the resignation application was more troublesome than changing companies, and with the urine nature of "World Wings", it was impossible to let go of such an excellent talent as me who had passed hellish training.
Maybe he will be arrested and returned to the headquarters to forcibly brainwash or remodel the human body or something.
Forget it, work hard, maybe you can be an old-timer in the brain lobe company.
In the future, if you feel that something is wrong, you can pit other newcomers.
After swiping through the above series of thoughts in a very short period of time, I came to look at this skull again.
It was still the same as before, suspended in mid-air by some unknown force, surrounded by a light yellow halo emanating from it, and the upper and lower jaws opening and closing indistinguishably from human bones, occasionally emitting a clear calcium grinding sound.
There is no danger.
- My trusting instinct tells me so.
So let's get to work.
This time it's an instinctive job, presumably to make physical contact with anomalies and meet abnormal physiological needs.
But I looked at the skull in front of me, which only grinded its teeth, and I was a little worried.
Does this thing have a physiological need?
After thinking about it, I decided to give it a full set of cleanings, hoping it wouldn't feel unhappy.
Although I don't care about the mental damage of failing at work, I care about energy production, and if I fail too much, I can't go up at all, and I will be in trouble.
Lobe is an energy company, and energy production comes first at all times.
Although the exterior of the anomaly was spotless, I carefully cleaned its surface.
During the whole process, it didn't show any movement, and the half-green, half-red PE-BOX reality clearly told me and the director that the anomaly didn't like instinct very much.
Another good.
The PE-BOX I got now should be enough to unlock the anomaly's preference information, and I hope that next time the director will send me to do a more suitable job.
As an employee with an impeccable work attitude, I am still a little unhappy to get a good evaluation.
So when I stood in front of the skull again in half a minute, I almost couldn't help but give the camera a middle finger.
I didn't say "next time", I'll come right away!
And let not let people rest!
Was this company lounge built for decoration?!
I'm a human, not a machine!
Suppressing the urge to rush into the main control room with the skull, I kept the same calm expression that had not changed for thousands of years, and began the communication work requested by the supervisor - although I was beeping in the air the whole time, and the skull on the other side didn't make any sound except grinding his teeth.
However, the evaluation after completing the work successfully swept away my negative emotions.
Perfect for the highest PE-BOX and the highest energy yield!
Yo, this time the skull is very face-saving, so I don't care about the black-hearted supervisor's behavior of squeezing employees.
On the way back to the lounge, I took the time to look at the information of O-03-03 on my terminal, and sure enough, I found that the preference bar had been unlocked, and the communication work happened to have a high success rate at all levels, no wonder it was full at one time just now.
But the success rate of insight in the first and second levels is also high?
Then why did I only get good for the first time?
It must be that the director's face is too dark, I didn't expect it to be an African director, and it seems that life may not be easy in the future.
With such a worried mood about the future, I was instructed to communicate with the skullβthe name message came out, it seemed to be called "One Sin and One Hundred Virtues"βand I communicated with One Sin and One Hundred Virtues N times, until I still felt smoke in my throat after pouring three cups of coffee in a row.
Next time I'm going to use my mind to communicate!
And why do companies only serve coffee as a beverage? What about those who don't drink coffee?
I don't hate coffee, but I drink it like this......
I'm going to throw up, I'm going to be!
"I, please communicate with the anomaly's 'One Sin and One Hundred Virtues' immediately. "Malkuth, the AI in charge of directing the staff in Control is shouting again.
"I see. β
Today's energy harvesting task has long been completed, and the supervisor still has no intention of stopping work and leaving work.
I actually understood his thoughts.
After completing the task and handing in enough energy, every bit of energy collected after that will be used for the development of our own company, naturally the more the better.
Isn't it just that I am the only regular employee?
Putting down the empty cup, which still had a little warmth, I refreshed my spirits and walked into the corridor of one sin and one hundred virtues.
Isn't it just high-intensity and high-density work? In the face of such a threatening anomaly as One Sin and One Hundred Virtues, I can still stay until midnight!
Probably because I had been "chatting" with it for so long, Sin and Baishan, who were very kind-hearted just by hearing the name, gave me a head ring, a thorn head ring with many thorns similar to the one it wore on the top of its head.
The headband just appeared out of thin air and landed in my hand.
Can this thing be worn?
Doesn't it hurt?
I glanced at the One Sin and One Hundred Virtues that were still floating in place, and remembered the content of the course I had received during the training, so I put it on and turned to walk out of the room.
- "If you receive a gift from an illusion in the course of your work, take it with you immediately and never throw it away!" Remember, their act of giving a gift is not a blessing or thanksgiving, but a sign and a threat. β
- "Giving up gifts will not only not keep you away from danger, but will also lead to the immediate emergence of crises that can only erupt under certain conditions. β
- "Perhaps because the gifts come from the Visionaries themselves, they all carry some mystical powers, and most of the time, this power will help you do your job better. β
Surprisingly, the ring of thorns was very comfortable to wear, and the thorns on it didn't seem to stab me.
At the same time I felt a little better in my spirits, less noticeable, but it was there.
Is this the power of those anomalies possessed?
Even one sin and one hundred virtues that appear so peaceful have the power to easily affect the human spirit.
Anomalies are really troublesome things.
I don't know what complicated and dangerous scenes I will face in the future, but anyway, the day is over.
I listened to the news of the end of the day just announced in my headphones, and my mind suddenly relaxed, and I mixed in with the clerk who was walking out of work and returned to my bedroom.
The energy conversion and information processing behind it is the business of the supervisors and the AIs, and I have to live my own private life.
Well, just rest well and get ready to face the next day's work.
With the blackness of this supervisor's face, maybe he will draw a group to extinguish the engine the next day, and then it is better to let the clerk die first, or let the newcomer die first......
It's a question worth pondering.
