Daily Summary: I'm a CEO in a Bizarre World

"I want to be number one in my department this year."

After Mai Xing said this, the entire workplace of the Housekeeping Department II fell silent.

If this had happened earlier this morning, such bold pronouncements would have undoubtedly been met with a barrage of criticism.

But now that he has proven himself by killing the level 2 contaminated entity, no one can immediately refute his "small goal," and some people even have an inappropriate idea.

Perhaps this newcomer really can do it?

Being number one in the department? Interesting.

Ye Lin, the top-performing domestic worker in her department, looked at Mai Xing with anticipation in her eyes.

Yan Xuan saw that this newcomer was so eloquent, a natural talent for hard work, and showed great strength and future potential, so he immediately praised him highly.

When the senior leader spoke, all the domestic workers shouted slogans, vowing to learn from the newcomers and strive to win the next round.

The meeting ended in less than an hour. Except for three groups that were still shrouded in gloom, the domestic workers from each group left the workplace one after another to begin a new month of work.

"To celebrate our narrow escape, let's have barbecue at our usual spot tonight, it's on me!" Wang Cheng said happily to his five subordinates.

"Long live Brother Wang!" Ye Lin cheered immediately, and Ma Shen and the other two were also overjoyed.

Mai Xing, who had just come down from the podium, heard this from afar and felt a headache coming on, so much so that she wanted to rub her forehead.

These people have really forgotten the pain once the wound has healed; they're already partying and popping champagne right after their suspended death sentence?

Do you really think I can slaughter a polluted organism and hand it over every month?

Out of sight, out of mind, Mai Xing simply didn't meet up with Group 5 and slipped out of the workplace on her own.

As of last night, I had accumulated 350 wish points, and I had also done 3 draws in the [Wish Point Lottery]. I only need 7 more draws to guarantee a blue rare item.

Mai Xing, a loyal fan of KuGou Music, is confident that his luck won't be that bad.

The Wish Power Lottery is now open!

[Taking notes (white, plain)] +1

The wish-granting lottery is back in action!

[Taking notes (white, plain)] +1

grass!!!

I never thought that even after putting on such a big show at today's meeting and absorbing the luck of the entire department, it wouldn't be enough to bring me good fortune?

Staring at the remaining 150 Willpower on the panel, Mai Xing devoutly threw in the [Wishpower Lottery] once again.

Suddenly, a bright blue light flashed through my mind.

Shipped!

Mai Xing's eyes lit up immediately, and he checked the items he had obtained.

[Take Notes (Blue Rare): Unlocks permanent use of one Tier 1 or lower sealed artifact/contaminant with some prior contact, and masteres its usage (10 items can be unlocked at Sequence 9)]

Mai Xing: ?

Why is it still "taking notes"?!

After carefully reading the description of this blue-quality item, I finally discovered the clue.

Previously, the white, ordinary "Note-taking" item could only contain level 2 sealed items and contaminants, but this time the blue, rare quality item can be obtained even if it is level 1 or lower.

Fine, if all I can get is [taking notes], I'd rather have the blue rare one.

Mai Xing comforted herself and reasonably suspected that the [Wish Power Lottery] pool only contained [Note-taking].

Who knows, there might even be a golden legendary version in the future!

The "happy" lucky draw is over, and it's time for Mak Star to start today's work orders.

Ever since I added "The Slave's Resentment" to my "Loyal Employee" list last night, every toilet in the entire Moon City has been clear.

All the most cost-effective work orders have been taken offline, so we have to step out of our comfort zone.

Now possessing two sealed artifacts with [Initial Influence], the power of "The Resentment of a Salaryman" can even be considered [Moderate Influence].

Maixing is considering whether to accept work orders with a performance rating of 1 or higher.

While searching for work orders on the "Group Buying Housekeeping Employee Edition" APP, a new message suddenly popped up.

"Ye Lin has sent you a ticket request for a trip for two. Do you accept?"

"There's also a two-player mode?"

Mai Xing checked the profile and found that domestic workers can share their work orders with colleagues to complete them together, and the performance bonus will be split equally between the two.

Is this for real? I'll accept.

A work order popped up for two people to do initial cleaning of a private villa in the Ideal District. The performance bonus is 10 points, and Maixing can get 5 points.

"What a cushy job!"

Open WeChat now and contact the sponsor.

"Mai Xing: Does Lin's mother have connections in a certain department? That's how she got such a good job."

Ye Lin: I grabbed it by speed.

"McStar: 6"

Ye Lin: Stop talking nonsense and come to the destination immediately. The work order needs to be completed today, and time is of the essence.

An hour later.

The two arrived at a three-story, luxuriously decorated detached villa.

[Employee: Ye Lin]

Sequence: 8

[Potential: 76 (Maximum value 100)]

[Method: Loan]

Loyalty Level: Lv.1 (Current level unlocks information on employee extraordinary pathways)

Mai Xing glanced at the text above Ye Lin's head. Last night, when she unlocked the [Loyalty Value], it was still Lv.0. How come it's Lv.1 today?

What exactly happened last night?

The information about how to unlock it greatly surprised Mai Xing.

No wonder Lin's mother is so powerful, surpassing the entire Department of Home Economics at such a young age; she is a Sequence 8 extraordinary being with a special ability.

Just thinking about Ye Lin's calm statement last night that she had sacrificed her liver to the "Loan King" made Mai Xing's mood inevitably heavy.

If only I could have the chance to help her get rid of this evil god, the "Loan King," someday.

No, what am I thinking? That's an evil god!

Mai Xing immediately banished the unrealistic and boundless associations from his mind.

At that moment, he noticed that Ye Lin's eyes were fixed on the villa in front of her, so he asked, "You want it?"

Ye Lin withdrew her gaze and said indifferently, "So what if we want to? We poor people in the Wealth District will never be able to enter the Ideal District in our lifetime."

Standing on the land of the Ideal Zone, Mai Xing felt that Ye Lin's words were contradictory: "What do you mean?"

"Whether it's the Ideal District or the Struggle District, if you want to buy local property, you need to have a local household registration."

Moving one's household registration to a higher district is extremely difficult. For people like us with household registration in wealthy areas, let alone ideal districts, even settling in ambitious districts is just a pipe dream.

After hearing this, Mai Xing was speechless for a moment.

The watershed moment in life is when one obtains the true divine path.

This statement was brought to life in this context.

"Since it's extremely difficult, there's still a chance. I don't believe in fate; I only know that human effort can make things happen."

Ye Lin shook her head after hearing this and said:

"To settle in an ideal district, having a legitimate path is just the basic requirement. Without this prerequisite, unless you make outstanding contributions to the city, there is no other way."

The number of people who can obtain a permanent residence permit in the ideal district each year is so small as to be negligible. The vast majority of these permits are already held by established conglomerates and families.

Looking at the villa in front of him, Mai Xing said casually:

"If others can get the opportunity, why can't it be us?"

Ye Lin looked at Mai Xing in silence, a ridiculous thought suddenly welling up in her mind.

Perhaps he really can do it...

"Let's go, it's still early, stop dreaming." With that, Ye Lin walked towards the villa.

……

Why are you staring at my phone?

Ye Lin felt that this man was strange.

I've been watching her phone ever since she started choosing the right sealing materials for the initial cleaning.

"Since we are going to work together to clean this entire villa and time is of the essence, we should choose sealing objects with similar functions to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Mai Xing casually made up a plausible reason.

Ye Lin's choice is related to the quality of the sealed items he collected using the "Notes" tool.

Although acquiring one or two relatively inexpensive sealed items can reduce expenses, adhering to the principle that extraordinary power is valued for its quality over quantity, we must use the best if we are going to use it.

"This '2-0548 Supreme Light' is quite good. The monthly fee of 19 sanity points makes it seem very useful, and its built-in range purification ability is perfect for this uninhabited villa that has become a breeding ground for filth."

Mai Xing pointed to the seal on the "Taobao" app and was about to place an order and pay for it for Ye Lin when the latter slapped her away.

"Get away from me, and don't touch my phone."

A monthly rent of 19 sanity points is enough to feed a person for half a year on synthetic foods.

Ye Linguang felt a pang of heartache just thinking about it!

Finally, after much pleading and cajoling from Mai Xing, I rented a sealing artifact called "2-1549 Kidney Deficiency Essence," which cost 15 yuan per month.

[Note-taking ability activated. Should "Sealed Item 2-1549 Kidney Deficiency Essence" be included?]

Included!

[Seal item: "2-1549 Kidney Deficiency Essence"]

Impact: No impact (0/100)

[Cost per use: 0.15 sanity/minute]

[Capability: Sprays an absolutely clean and purifying water jet, which is sprayed from the drain outlet by default, but the actual application location can be adjusted according to personal preference]

[Cons: Strong urge to urinate after use; duration varies depending on usage time]

[Synopsis: A sedentary office worker, unable to urinate regularly due to a demanding work schedule, suffers a gradual decline in kidney function. After death, he transforms into pollutants, cursing the kidneys of his former employer.]

"What about you? Rent it for me!"

With a gloomy face, Ye Lin stared at Mai Xing and posed a probing question.

"Right away, right away!"

Mai Xing smiled apologetically and quickly walked towards the room with the door tightly closed, which was waiting to be cleaned.

Suddenly, I felt a sense of unease and looked up.

The dust on the door was uneven in thickness, and the varying colors piled up to form a line of distorted text that was barely discernible:

"The room harbors extremely dangerous contaminants—a gentle warning from the kind-hearted [God of Fun]"

This is another message from [Lezishen].

He has received four such messages this week, which is too frequent, and he suspects that the other party may have ulterior motives towards him.

However, compared to the distant dangers, Mai Xing is more concerned about the present.

Is it an extremely dangerous pollutant?

The mutation caused by excessively low rationality?

Mai Xing pressed the doorknob and secretly used the panel's abilities.

[Using the sealed item "2-1549 Kidney Deficiency Essence" deducts 0.15 sanity.]

[Remaining usage time: 02:59:99]

[Rationality Balance: 53.05]
