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

"It's rare for Sister Lin to invite me to lunch."

At noon, Mai Xing and Ye Lin gathered at a synthetic food canteen.

"Wang Cheng asked me to inquire about the mold cleaning work orders that you've been working on lately since the sewer unclogging work orders disappeared."

"You're the only one in the entire department who's remained so consistent."

Ye Lin did not hide anything and told him the truth.

"Oh, it's such a small thing. I'll quit after a few more days."

Mai Xing suddenly realized what was going on and told him the truth.

[Contaminant: Mold in one's own home]

[Impact Level: Preliminary Impact (5/300)]

[Location of the contaminated entity: Luna City - Wealth District - Finance Avenue]

[Pollution Removal Method: The root cause lies in the weakness; a concentrated attack can completely destroy it]

The text on the panel appeared before my eyes.

I did two more mold removal jobs this morning, which has raised the "mold spots in my own home" to the "initial impact" level.

It also unlocked the [Location of the Main Body] and [Method of Clearance].

As expected, the [Bull and Horse] route did not bring any convenience this time. To kill this level 2 polluted entity, we have no choice but to fight it head-on.

The good news is that at least knowing the root weakness of the pollutant allows for its complete eradication.

In the next few days, you only need to upgrade the other seals to [Initial Influence] and complete the promotion conditions for Sequence 8.

Then you can start looking for the location of the "mold spots in your own home".

This time, however, the operation for finding "the resentment of corporate slaves" cannot be replicated.

The "Mold in Your Own Home" entity is located in the Wealth Zone, which is different from the Ideal Zone, where there are far more contaminated entities hidden.

If you try to create chance encounters by lowering your sanity, you might run into other contaminants, or even be attacked by a level 1 contaminant.

At this moment, Mai Xing suddenly sensed something and glanced at the top of Ye Lin's head.

[Wish Mission: Ye Lin is very anxious about the performance competition between the two departments of domestic service next month. Save the children and launch a counterattack against the first department of domestic service (Reward: Enterprise Level +1)]

Is it a counterattack against housekeeping?

This "Wish Task" was exactly what Mai Xing wanted, as he had already been planning how to win the performance competition in the fourth quarter.

The primary task at present is to narrow the power gap between the two departments.

Seeing that Ye Lin didn't pursue the previous topic further, and was slowly putting the paste into her mouth, Mai Xing put down the spoon and asked seriously:

"When you said you wanted to fight against a certain organization that night, were you serious, or just joking?"

Seeing that the other party was having such a serious discussion, Ye Lin stopped eating as a sign of respect.

"I'm definitely serious."

This crisis of mass layoffs was averted thanks to your timely achievement of 100 performance points.

However, as a replacement, one member of Group 3 was dismissed.

I heard from Wang Cheng that he was a veteran employee with five years of service, but he had the least family pressure in the group. It was only after Tian Yukang communicated and negotiated with him that they made the decision together.

Including August, Group 3 has been at the bottom of the performance rankings for three consecutive months. If September continues in the same way, no one can help them.

After those three groups were laid off, who will be next? Group 2? And what happens after Group 2 is also laid off?

Ye Lin stated the facts.

Mai Xing listened in silence, keeping his curses against the group to himself.

"But what good is being serious? How can we possibly win in terms of performance against the First Division, whose entire members are extraordinary beings on the path to true godhood? And our Second Division, at least half of them are mediocre people like Wang Cheng."

As Ye Lin recounted her story, her tone unintentionally revealed a sense of helplessness.

"Therefore, we need to change the rules of the competition."

Mai Xing said.

"How can we change things? And why would the higher-ups at the field operations center listen to us?"

Ye Lin shook her head.

Both the housekeeping department and the field service center are subordinate to the food delivery and express delivery departments.

"By elevating your personal influence to a level that the company cannot ignore, you will naturally gain a voice."

Mai Xing smiled and resumed eating his synthetic paste.

"How do I do it?"

Ye Lin's keen intuition told her that Mai Xing was plotting a daring scheme.

Strangely, she was actually quite interested and even looked forward to it.

Mai Xing looked at her and slowly raised her index finger.

"Submit another contaminated organism this month."

Then he raised another finger.

"Well, if one isn't enough, hand over two."

Sure enough, the man had gone mad.

Ye Lin looked at Mai Xing and was stunned after hearing his words.

This is clearly nonsense, but why do I somehow feel like he's capable of doing what he says...?

Coming to her senses, Ye Lin smiled calmly and said:

"You're dreaming."

"Whether it's all talk or real action, we'll find out within a week. I'm full now, time to run some work orders."

Mai Xing had already finished reading the CD. He waved to Ye Lin and walked out of the cafeteria.

Watching the departing figure, her heart was completely thrown into turmoil by the other person's words.

More than half a year has passed since the new regulations of the Second Department were implemented. As victims, even He Lian and Deng Yong, who have reached Sequence 7, are only thinking about how to survive within the rules.

No one has ever wanted to break this injustice.

Even she herself had not yet truly made up her mind to confront a faction.

But Mai Xing, who had been with the company for less than half a month, had already put this determination into action.

"Perhaps I should do something too."

A bold idea also formed in Ye Lin's mind.

……

Four days later.

[Six sealed artifacts have reached the initial influence stage, meeting the promotion requirements (Sequence 8 - Assistant). Promote?]

"Phew~"

Mai Xing let out a long sigh of relief. After working tirelessly for days to complete the mold removal work order, he finally upgraded all the sealed items he owned to the [Initial Influence] state.

Meet the requirements for promotion to Sequence 8 through the [Bull and Horse] pathway.

Promotion!

As the thought was transmitted, the extraordinary power within the body surged, and a great deal of extraordinary knowledge about Sequence 8 emerged from the sea of ​​consciousness.

At this moment, he crossed the Sequence 9 chasm, a chasm that many people in Lunar City could only reach in their entire lives.

Become a Sequence 8 Extraordinary.

[Current: Sequence 8 - Assistant]

[Promotion Requirements: (Sequence 7 - Specialist) 10 sealed items/contaminants at moderate level of impact, possess 1 pathway ability]

To increase his chances of winning against "Mold in His Own Home," Max must strengthen his abilities.

And Sequence 8 lived up to his expectations. After the advancement, his total spiritual power doubled compared to before, and he didn't have to worry about running out of spiritual power even when using multiple sealed items.

Furthermore, after promotion, the [Note-taking] skill was enhanced, allowing the collection of up to 20 sealed items simultaneously.

However, the extraordinary abilities belonging to the [Ox and Horse] path did not increase accordingly.

Wait, why does the promotion requirement for Sequence 7 also require having one pathway ability?

Taking notes doesn't increase the number of ways to collect information, so I guess I'll have to try my luck with the "Wish Power Lottery" again.

These promotion criteria have left the people of Maixing speechless.

However, since there are requirements for promotion, it means that there will inevitably be a day when he can achieve it, which is definitely another important boost for Mai Xing.

Whether from the path of righteous gods or evil gods, the extraordinary abilities are far more powerful than those from sealed artifacts. Moreover, abilities from the path of righteous gods do not require the expenditure of sanity and have no "cost of use".

However, at present, Maixing is not clear about the power of each channel, nor does it have the channels to make in-depth contact. We will learn more about it when we have the opportunity in the future.

As for the other requirements, they are not difficult; they just take a little more time.

With pre-battle preparations complete, the next phase begins:

Find the exact location where the "mold in your own home" is hiding.

According to the panel, it is located on Finance Avenue in the Wealth District.

But Mai Xing remembers that this Finance Avenue was a notoriously dirty and chaotic area in the Wealth District.

The road is lined with densely packed old, low-rise houses, and the passageways are all extremely narrow alleys, making it feel like entering a maze.

A while ago, I received a work order located in the back alley of Caijing Avenue. I spent a long time looking for it and even got lost when I came out, wasting a lot of time for nothing.

Finding the source of the pollution within will likely be even more difficult than healing the Great Path in the first place.

Fortunately, Maixing still has other methods.

Open the "Douyin" app and click on "Shi Jingjingya's" showcase.

Soon, they found a sealed artifact evaluation commission called "2-3005 Gravity of All Things" inside, used for tracking and locating objects.

"If I use this sealed artifact to find a Level 2 contaminated creature as material for my submission, I hope it won't scare her too much."

Mai Xing muttered to himself.
