Chapter 39 Believe in the Art of "Kicking"
The next day, Lin Mo brought some fruit to the company.

As he continued to take honey water and poria throat lozenges, his overall complexion improved.

Today, the red mark on his forehead was particularly noticeable.

Last night, he was staring at his computer screen so hard that his brain almost sloshed around. He even had to make a sound when he banged his head against it; otherwise, it wouldn't count. Is he crazy?

Even now, he still doesn't know how effective this so-called "Great Joy of the Machine Soul" really is. It's said to reduce the mechanical failure rate and increase the success rate, but there's no definite answer as to how much it improves the rate.

However, adhering to the principle that it's always good to have more skills when you're in the world, he still chose to sacrifice his forehead.

Just kidding, I may not need it, but I can't be incapable of doing it!
Lin Mo was quite relaxed, with tea brewing in the office. Liu Ruyan arrived at the office at 9:30 in the morning and smelled the aroma of tea as soon as she entered.

"No wonder so many bosses like to hire a young woman as their secretary. She's served tea as soon as she walks in, and she's pleasing to the eye. It's great!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo looked up and discovered that Emperor Ruyan had changed her style again today; she was now a married woman version of Liu Ruyan.

A white shirt paired with a black long skirt, a simple black and white color scheme, but when she met Emperor Ruyan, it suddenly became extraordinary.

The hem of the beige shirt is tucked into the skirt, creating a fitted top and loose bottom style that highlights her good taste while also drawing attention to her slender waist.

Her hair was simply tied up at the back of her head, giving her a gentle and tender look.

"Good morning, President Liu!" Lin Mo greeted.

Liu Ruyan nodded. It was fine for Lin Mo to address her like that at the company. She then sat down opposite him, took the tea Lin Mo offered, took a small sip, and showed a satisfied expression on her face.

"Hey? What happened to your head?"

As soon as she put down her teacup, Liu Ruyan noticed his red forehead, which was quite noticeable, to be honest.

"I didn't sleep well last night and bumped my head on the headboard," Lin Mo replied.

He would never say that he banged his head against his computer until it was red last night; that would be too embarrassing, and people would think he was mentally unwell.

"Does it still hurt?"

"It's nothing, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Ruyan pointed a finger at his forehead and said, "Oh dear, it looks like you bumped it quite badly. How about I blow on it for you? It won't hurt anymore if I blow on it, come on!"

As he spoke, his face slowly leaned forward.

Lin Mo: (ω)

Here we go again. These women are taking advantage of Miss Yuan's absence to push him to his limits. Which cadre can withstand such a test?

As Liu Ruyan's face drew closer, Lin Mo leaned back strategically: "I have a bad breath allergy!"

Liu Ruyan:
Just kidding, I finally got this cheat code, what would I need a woman for? Women would only slow down my progress.

"Get lost! My breath is fresh, you don't believe me? Smell it, ah~~"

"Mr. Liu, I can see your tonsils!"

Liu Ruyan: "Ah~ cough cough"

Women, especially beautiful women, are generally very conscious of their image. It would be inappropriate for them to let others see their tonsils, so they immediately shut up.

Liu Ruyan pretended to cough and changed the subject with her hands, "Xiao Mo, is today your last day of internship?"

"Yeah, it's been several months since I joined the company. At first, I felt like time was passing slowly, but as time went on, I found it quite interesting," Lin Mo said with a smile.

Today was his last day as a workhorse, and he was naturally happy, radiating joy. Looking back on the past few months of internship, he couldn't help but marvel at how quickly time had flown by, like a middle-aged man whose journey had ended before it even began.

"Okay, to celebrate the successful completion of your internship today, come out with me this afternoon, and I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Your cousin Su Su will be there too, there'll be a surprise! I'm not one to take advantage of others for free!"

Don't refuse, it's settled then!

Without giving Lin Mo a chance to refuse, Emperor Ruyan had already made the decision. Lin Mo could only nod and then said:

"President Liu, since that's the case, if you're not too busy, I'd like to go back to my old department. Some of them have helped me a lot, and since I'm leaving, I should at least let them know."

Liu Ruyan agreed to his request without hesitation.

Lin Mo arrived at the department where he had been working for several months and distributed fruit to some colleagues with whom he had a decent relationship, thanking them for their care over the past few months.

"Sister Li, where's Brother Wang? I haven't seen him." Lin Mo asked after searching around and not finding his mentor, Old Wang.

"You mean Old Wang? He's next door. I heard there's been a system malfunction for a while now."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo nodded and went straight to the next room. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a group of senior programmers with receding hairlines kneeling in a row, kowtowing to a computer. His mentor, Lao Wang, was among them.

"Brother Wang, Brother Wang, what's wrong?" Lin Mo asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Old Wang turned around and saw him, then quickly stood up: "What brings you here?"

"Isn't today the last day of my internship? I thought I'd come over and tell you, and I also brought you some fruit. After all, Brother Wang, you're my mentor, aren't you?" Lin Mo said, lifting the bag in his hand.

Upon seeing this, Old Wang's eyes lit up. He grabbed the fruit and pulled it inside by the collar with his other hand, saying, "Perfect timing! Since we're already here, these apples are just in time to be offered as a sacrifice. Come on, Xiao Lin, quickly kowtow to one."

Lin Mo:
He's bowing his head to the computer again? Has he gone mad? He almost threw up from it last night.

"Wait a minute, what's wrong, Brother Wang? Isn't it a bit inappropriate to kowtow right away?"

"There's no other way. The copied code just won't run on our site. We've checked the code line by line, and there are absolutely no problems. This is the only way left. Don't believe me? I've tried it, and sometimes it really works. This is the ultimate trick passed down from generation to generation of predecessors in our industry. It's incredibly satisfying!" Old Wang said solemnly.

"The Machine Soul is overjoyed?" Lin Mo's voice suddenly rose several decibels.

"You've heard my story, too?"

Lin Mo: Uh

"Come on, everyone, make way for Xiao Lin," Old Wang told everyone to scatter and make room for the newcomer.

"No, Brother Wang, haven't you already tried it?"

"We've all tried, you're the only one left. You have a newbie protection period, you can definitely do it!"

Lin Mo: "Me"

Before he could finish speaking, he was pushed in front of the computer by the crowd. Looking around, he saw that more than a dozen grown men in the room were staring at him expectantly. In the end, Lin Mo chose to believe in the "kowtowing" theory.

After all, he didn't bang his head for nothing last night.

Then, under everyone's gaze, Lin Mo followed the steps taught by Lao Wang, lit a cigarette, poured wine, kowtowed, and clicked the three buttons in one go.

Finally, he stood up and lightly tapped the Enter key with his finger. The next second...

The page, which had previously been unresponsive to everyone, miraculously began to run smoothly, and in an instant, the men in the entire department erupted in deafening cheers.

At this moment, in everyone's eyes, Lin Mo was like a demon lord descended from heaven, a true god of war on earth.
