I really don't want to work in the world of weird rules!

Gu Changyuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

Being able to be in a bustling office is a real treat.

Even if I have to sleep with the lights on tonight, it doesn't matter. The sense of security of having a million dollars in my pocket is enough to soothe all panic.

Ultimately, money is the best placebo.

Gu Changyuan finally sat down at his workstation and logged into the company's intranet.

The glaring incandescent light bulbs and the ergonomic swivel chair make the crazy experience of just now, with my face pressed against the demon, seem like a dream.

There were even several exquisitely crafted ballpoint pens and a lizard doll with wide-eyed stares on the table, but the signs of "being used" were far too obvious.

Gu Changyuan could only silently pray that the previous table owner had quit his job without having time to pack his things because he won the lottery.

His computer browser had already bookmarked the welfare mall, saving him the trouble of searching randomly.

[Daydream Company Limited Employee Benefits Mall]

I quickly completed the registration by entering my employee ID and then clicked on the "Points Entry" section following the instructions of a senior colleague.

Select the level of the ghost story you've completed, fill in the name, and finally attach the fabricated PDF report.

Submitted, just five minutes later.

[Employee Gu Changyuan / Account Points: 100p]

The back-end approval speed is astonishingly fast; this is the only reward for a single F-level completion.

Considering this was only the lowest difficulty dungeon, and he wasn't expecting to get rich overnight, he casually browsed the item list.

What popped up on the homepage completely surprised him...

Fully automatic robot vacuum cleaner?

In the mall, you can redeem various discounted home appliances with 100 points, and even get a complete set of top-of-the-line smart home devices with 500 points.

Scroll down further, and you'll find even more eye-opening undisclosed drugs developed by "Daydream Company".

The items priced around 1000 points are all cutting-edge technologies like "corneal regeneration solution".

This highly effective hair growth tonic, which you can't buy even for 500,000 yuan elsewhere, is only 100 points here.

"This is quite a good treatment." Gu Changyuan's heart pounded, and his fingertips quickly scrolled the mouse wheel.

The moment of truth has arrived. Under the "Self-developed Products" label, he selected "Sort by Price in Descending Order".

That name, radiating a divine light, instantly caught my eye.

"The All-Powerful Wish-Granting Item." This ultimate perk, highlighted in the "survival of the fittest" process after the initial recruitment battle, is priced accordingly.

[The ultimate wish-granting item: 500000 pesos]

What kind of international joke is this? Five hundred thousand? Gu Changyuan stared at the lonely 100 points in his account and fell into a deathly silence.

Theoretically speaking, even if he soloed an F-level dungeon every day without interruption, it would take him fifteen years of working without eating or drinking.

Indeed, if everything went as planned, would it still be considered working?

The company will never let him pick on the easy targets; in the future, he will inevitably have to team up with other colleagues and be forced to enter high-risk areas.

Wait, are the rewards for team play also split equally? He quickly flipped through the points distribution rules and found out the basic rewards for each level.

[Rating F: 100p]

[Rating D: 1000p]

[Rating C: 2500p]

[Rating B: 10000p]

[Grade A: 100000p]

[Level S: Further evaluation required]

In cases of emergency, lack of intelligence, or additional risks, the company will also provide additional allowances based on internal assessments.

Based on the basic model of three people forming a team and splitting the profits equally, you would have to complete a full 150 B-rank ghost stories to accumulate 500,000? Are you out of your mind?

It's important to know that once you reach Level B, the survival rate for ordinary people will plummet to around 2%.

In those godforsaken places, no matter which choice you make, the outcome is usually a gruesome death or a fate worse than death! Playing it 150 times in a row? That's not going to work, that's slow suicide.

The method of speedrunning high-risk dungeons to farm points is simply not feasible.

If you want to survive steadily, you'll have to spend at least ten years in this awful company.

However, the on-site investigation team is already the department that earns points the fastest in the entire company. The clerical staff in other departments probably won't even get close to the "omnipotent wish-granting spirit" until they retire.

Fortunately, the other perks in the mall are quite generous, so most people are happy to just sit back and relax.

But Gu Changyuan could not give up; he had an extremely firm and surreal goal:

Return to the original world.

He's been living in fear in this wretched place for fifteen years? He probably died of a heart attack in the first three years, because he can't stand the scary pictures and videos in the ghost story encyclopedia.

No, we must develop a meticulous plan to precisely target high-profit myths and avoid certain doom.

We must find the perfect balance between safety and profit to reach the 500,000 mark as quickly as possible.

Just as his mind was racing, the senior employee patted the back of his chair. "Logged in? Oh, and these personal belongings on the desk."

"Oh, that's our department head's workstation," the veteran employee waved dismissively.

Gu Changyuan was speechless with anger. No wonder there were signs of use!

"As long as the screen doesn't break, it's fine. You can just sit there and relax today."

Is this company really okay? How can they allow a new employee, who just started on their first day, to brazenly occupy their direct supervisor's workstation?

On second thought, this company that uses human lives to fill in ghost stories and extract supernatural resources has absolutely no common sense about the workplace.

Given this, using unconventional methods seems quite reasonable.

"Come on, Xiao Gu, want to grab a smoke?"

"No, I can't." Gu Changyuan declined his seniors' invitation to slack off.

After confirming that the two had gone far away, he took a deep breath and, without hesitation, overturned the keyboard in front of him. Sure enough, there was a yellowed sticky note stuck to the base.

[Team Leader Li Zihao / 105105301]

Account: yongj1111

Password: dydajflgodks!111

This shows a complete lack of safety awareness, but such baffling workplace behavior is not uncommon. The team leader level likely corresponds to the title of department manager.

Gu Changyuan remembered clearly that in this ghostly company, there was a hidden website that only senior executives at the manager level and above could access. The things in that website were incredibly effective at dealing with difficult ghost stories.

Having witnessed the despair of having 500,000 points, I can't let go of any shortcut.

He glanced around at his colleagues to make sure they were all gone, then reopened the welfare mall login page and quickly typed in the team leader's account and password.

A red message pops up on the screen: Incorrect password.

Gu Changyuan remained unfazed; this was within his expectations. He expertly opened the registration page and checked the password settings:

[Must contain uppercase letters.]

So, just capitalize the first letter of the password on the sticky note and change it to "Dydajflgodks!111", then press Enter.

A crisp notification sound rang out. "Welcome, Manager Li Zihao."

Gu Changyuan clenched his fist tightly under the table; it was the most discreet celebration he could make.

Successfully infiltrated. The next step is to find a phishing link disguised as a trashy guy.

Commonly known as the "Alien Shop".

The book "Strange Tales Exploration Records" includes many alien tales, and there is a group of guys who always try to sell products to Earthlings in an extremely awkward way.

Although there was no malicious intent, most of the items they sold were bizarre and deadly.

However, compared to those evil spirits that take lives at the drop of a hat, these alien merchants seem rather comical and endearing.

They even possess a certain business acumen for precision marketing; in order to target potential customers with essential needs, they actually implanted a ransomware-like plugin into the internal network of Daydream Company.

Only accounts at the manager level or above can trigger the hidden shopping feature, and Gu Changyuan knows the trigger mechanism by heart.

Click on a few random pages in the store, then press the "back" button five times in a row.

The mouse made a rapid series of clicks, and the screen suddenly froze.

A tiny green hand, made up of rough pixels, suddenly popped out from the bottom right corner of the screen.

It swayed from side to side as if greeting someone, and an extremely cheap-looking dialog box appeared above its head.

The overwhelming sense of dread from the browser game "GG" made Gu Changyuan's lips twitch slightly.

But as soon as you click on this thing, it will forcibly bypass the company's intranet blockade and directly redirect you to the aliens' black market website.
