Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

Ma Xiaolu is an animator in the 2D animation production team of the Land of Light Animation Studio.

He is currently sprawled at his workstation, enjoying a rare moment of rest.

After several weeks of intensive overtime work, all the animation content for "Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit Seven Heroes" has finally been completed.

After the immense sense of accomplishment came a wave of exhaustion.

He had just picked up his phone to slack off for a bit when a notification popped up in the work group chat, tagging all members.

"Tsk, team building notice..."

Ma Xiaolu pursed his lips and sighed inwardly.

"Can't you just let someone have some peace and quiet?"

As a seasoned veteran who has been working in the workplace for several years.

He didn't have a good impression of the term "team building".

It's nothing more than taking up precious weekend rest time and being dragged to some remote mountain wilderness for some kind of hiking training.

Or it could be an icebreaker game in a conference room that makes your toes dig into the ground.

It's ostensibly meant to enhance team cohesion, but in reality it's just a disguised form of overtime and mental torture.

Although the Land of Light studio is generous with its pay and provides full overtime pay, Director Yang is also a very nice person.

But the thought of team building still made Ma Xiaolu feel physically uncomfortable.

Fine, I'll reluctantly participate this time, considering how generous Director Yang is and how well he pays overtime.

Holy crap!

A colleague exclaimed in surprise, clearly having seen the mass message.

Ma Xiaolu didn't even look up, and complained listlessly.

"Old Yang, I know you were excited to see the team-building news, but is it really necessary to be this overreacted?"

"No! Xiao Lu, take a closer look! Look at the contents of this notice!"

Old Yang said it wasn't that he was making a fuss, but rather that the notification was too shocking.

"What's so interesting about it? It's just the same three things: time, place, and event details..."

Ma Xiaolu casually focused his gaze on the phone screen and read it word by word.

next second.

Holy crap!!!

This time, Ma Xiaolu and her colleagues exclaimed in surprise.

Almost simultaneously, similar exclamations rang out throughout the office area.

[Team Building Notice from the Land of Light Animation Studio]

Time: Next Thursday and Friday

Location: To be determined

Remarks:

1. Participation in this team building activity is voluntary. If you are unable to participate due to personal reasons, you may inform your immediate supervisor in advance.

The team building expenses will be discounted to 80% and paid out along with next month's salary.

2. All expenses during the team building activity will be borne by the company.

Team building activities on weekdays?

You can get cash back even if you don't participate?!

All-inclusive price!!!

Ma Xiaolu rubbed his eyes hard and looked at it again.

I can understand every single word.

When you put these together, it feels so dreamlike.

"Old Yang, slap me right now, see if I'm hallucinating from working overtime."

"Dude, you don't have to torture yourself like this."

Old Yang patted him on the shoulder with a smile, but the excitement on his face was equally undisguised.

"But seriously, are you planning to participate in this team building activity or take leave and pay in cash?"

"Take leave. Including the weekend, it's four days, which is more than a typical long weekend."

Work has been really tough lately.

Ma Xiaolu wanted to take this opportunity to get some rest.

I'll also go back home while I'm at it.

A 4-day holiday.

Suddenly I have a feeling of not knowing how to use it.

"I'll participate."

Old Yang said.

"Forget about going out for fun, even if it's just a mountain climbing or training trip, I'd stick with this boss just because it's a weekday, Thursday and Friday."

"Oh, everyone's here?"

Just then, Chen Yi, the head of the 2D animation project team, returned from Yang Qian's office.

His face was beaming with an undisguised smile.

I have some good news to share.

"Boss, we all know about the team building event."

Someone said.

"That's not what I meant."

Chen Yi smiled.

"Director Yang just told me that all employees involved in the 'Rainbow Cat' project will receive the highest bonus this month."

The words were spoken.

The crowd was taken aback at first, then cheered.

"Yay! Long live Director Yang!"

"I love going to work!"

"I love my job! I love the Kingdom of Light!"

"Director Yang! Please whip me with all your might, with work and bonuses!"

"Dude, your XP is a bit weird..."

However, some people have raised doubts.

"Boss, what about the special effects and voice acting teams?"

"Director Yang treats the special effects team and the dubbing team the same way."

Everyone was once again impressed by Yang Qian's magnanimity.

"Also, participation in team building activities is voluntary. If you don't want to go, please let me know in advance so I can count the number of participants."

Chen Yi reminded him.

He had barely finished speaking.

【Ding! 】

Another message popped up, tagging all members; the sender was Yang Qian.

[@All members, regarding the team building activities, I've thought about it and decided to hold it at the Qushui Lanting Resort Hotel for two days and one night. Everyone has worked hard lately, so take this opportunity to relax, enjoy a bath, and have some good food.]

"Holy crap!!! The Orchid Pavilion by the Winding Stream?!"

This time, even the supervisor, Chen Yi, couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

The entire office area instantly erupted in chaos.

"Qu Shui Lan Ting?! Is that the legendary Qu Shui Lan Ting from the ceiling of the bathhouse in City A?!"

"I heard that all the skincare products inside are from big brands like Dior, Chanel, and Clarins."

"Their buffet features all-you-can-eat Australian lobster, Boston lobster, king crab, and various high-end sashimi."

"And there's karaoke, a movie theater, an arcade... My goodness!"

"A single 24-hour ticket costs over a thousand! A two-day, one-night ticket must be even more expensive, right? Director Yang is really going all out!"

All employees went on vacation to Qushui Lanting.

This was something no one expected.

"Xiao Lu, are you taking leave again?"

Old Yang asked a question.

"Take a day off? What day off?! I absolutely have to participate in this team building activity! I love team building! Team building is the ladder of human progress!"

Old Yang: What a jerk...

Ma Xiaolu:

Dear Mom and Dad, please forgive me for not being able to come home this time!

This is an important team-building activity organized by the company to improve team cohesion, and I have a compelling reason to participate!

After all, that's the Orchid Pavilion by the winding stream!

Rewind twenty minutes to the office of Li Lin, the manager of the industrial park.

"Manager Li, I'm planning a team-building activity for the company staff to relax. Do you have any suitable venue recommendations?"

Yang Qian asked.

"Team building? Let's go hiking. It's cheap and it can strengthen our willpower."

Li Lin made a casual suggestion.

"Outdoor activities are out of the question."

Yang Qian resolutely refused.

"Everyone has worked very hard lately, and I just want them to truly relax and rest."

Besides, given his physical condition, climbing mountains would be too dangerous for him.

"Indoors... let me think..."

Li Lin pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, there is such a place."

"The owner of Qushui Lanting, he and his child are all die-hard fans of yours. The owner asked me to make the connection so he could get to know you."

"I didn't think there was any reason, so I just told him to wait."

"Qushui Lanting? That expensive bathhouse?"

Yang Qian had heard of it.

"Yes, it's top-notch in City A; the environment and service are impeccable."

"A good environment must mean a high price. My budget is limited, and I'm afraid I can't afford to send the whole company there."

Yang Qian spoke the truth.

"Wait a moment, I'll make a call and ask."

Li Lin picked up his phone, walked to the window, and whispered a few words to the other person.

A moment later, he hung up the phone and looked at Yang Qian with a strange expression.

"Good news, the boss over there has agreed, we'll go with your budget."

"What are the conditions?"

Yang Qian doesn't believe in free lunches.

"He wants to take a photo with you, the main actors of 'Ultraman Tiga' and 'Kuuga', and get their autographs."

"In addition, he wants the autographs of the voice actors of the Seven Swords from the Rainbow Cat crew."

Li Lin said.

"this one?"

Yang Qian was somewhat surprised.

"That's it."

Li Lin confirmed.

"Sure, no problem."

Yang Qian readily agreed.

He hadn't expected that the boss was such a big anime fan.

Trading a few autographed photos for a chance for all employees to enjoy a high-end experience is a great deal.

In addition, he was also a little curious about the legendary bathroom ceiling.

……

"What?! He agreed?! Great! That's wonderful!"

"Thank you, Li Ke! Don't worry, I'll make sure everything is arranged perfectly that day! I'll take care of the shuttle bus; I'll send the best one there."
