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

"Mother of the Deep Nest" is another Level 1 pollutant recorded by Maixing, following "Social Dust".

Moreover, thanks to the fact that the spider was subdued with virtue at the time, it gained a "submitted" state.

Without activating the [Overclocking Ability], using "Mother of the Deep Nest" will not incur any [Usage Cost] after the event ends.

What surprised Mai Xing the most was that the "Mother of the Deep Nest"'s [overclocking ability] actually had a synergy with the recently added "Thousand-Woven Silk".

[Overclocking Ability: If "Thousand Threads" has been collected during use, it can be used in conjunction to temporarily seize control of the enemy's body.]

This ability can even take control of an enemy's body. In Chinese, isn't that just manipulating other people's bodies?

I never imagined that this little spider could have such an outrageous and perverted ability to control others.

However, considering that when they went to kill "The Thousand Threads," they were intercepted by the corpses controlled by it halfway, this was the first sign of trouble.

Mai Xing couldn't help but feel fortunate that the "Mother of the Deep Nest" hadn't used this ability against them back then; she had only spewed venom and launched spider webs.

Perhaps in its eyes, Mai Xing and the other person were just ants that could be crushed at will, and killing them would be no fun.

However, it never expected that such a weak human could suddenly unleash powerful supernatural strength and suppress it.

It was truly a case of capsizing in a ditch.

However, it was also due to the "Mother of the Deep Nest" lacking in intelligence and making a wrong judgment.

At that time, Mai Xing was already at its last gasp, and "social resentment" could only have a suppressive effect, and could not seriously damage or even kill it.

If the "Mother of the Deep Nest" withstands all the attacks, it can still easily turn the tide and win when the Starling is unable to hold on.

"It seems that the intensity of 'Social Dust' is much higher than that of 'Mother of the Deep Nest'."

Mai Xing muttered silently.

Given his non-pathway Sequence 5 strength at the time, it was certainly impossible for him to repel a Level 1 contaminated entity that could crush Sequence 4.

Although turning evil is ten times stronger, Mai Xing is well aware of his own situation.

The only explanation is that, in terms of intensity, "social dust" surpasses "Mother of the Deep Nest" by a considerable margin.

The strength of a Level 1 sealed artifact follows the same analogy as Level 2; the higher the strength, the more sanity it consumes to use.

The cost of using a level 1 sealed item ranges from a minimum of 1 sanity to a maximum of 5 sanity.

However, both contaminants on Maxstar are currently only "incompletely driven," and the cost of "overclocking" them is only at the lowest level.

Of course, the power it can exert is also at the lowest level.

Based on this experience, he guessed that the cost of using "Mother of the Deep Nest" was around 1.5 sanity, and at most 2 sanity.

"It was just a little spider that, by chance, met the evil god [Primordial Calamity] and was thus promoted to a Level 1 corrupted entity."

"The day I advance to Sequence 7 and gain enough influence points to unlock [Physical Location] and [Elimination Method], I'll kill you."

"What are you muttering about?"

Ye Lin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed eating, noticed that Mai Xing was making silent noises, accompanied by an ominous smile, so she looked down and asked.

"I'm thinking of finding a chance to kill that spider after I advance to Sequence 7."

Mai Xing didn't hide anything and told the truth.

Ye Lin, who was eating dry rice, paused for a moment before calmly saying, "Anyone can talk big."

Mai Xing shrugged, not bothering to argue on the topic.

After all, that goal is too far from being achieved.

But at this moment, he faces an even more pressing dilemma.

Pollutants: The Dust of Society

Impact level: Moderate (0/600)

[Time remaining until expiration: 9:48:55]

[If the impact cannot be converted into reality after the failure, 30 sanity points will be deducted.]

Unexpectedly, the impact gained by the "use now, pay later" option only lasts for 24 hours.

Mai Xing could only feel sorry for the 30 sanity points that had slipped away.

But that makes sense. If the duration were longer, one could simply pay with sanity to gain superhuman power or even upgrade one's sequence.

He is now a non-path Sequence 5, with an extraordinary level surpassing the entire Household Affairs Department 2, and his sequence may even be higher than that of the department manager, Yan Xuan.

With this sequence level, acquiring 30 sanity points within a few days is not difficult at all.

Mai Xing felt increasingly cheated, never expecting that he would waste the rest of his time at the hospital.

No, I need to find the doctor to discharge me!

By this time, Ye Lin had finished her portion of the concoction lunch.

Mai Xing waved his hand and said, "Go on with your work, don't waste your time here. Although we handed in two contaminated objects this month, our crisis is not over yet."

Ye Lin looked at the real-time data on the "Group Buying Housekeeping Employee Version" APP and said:

「我们5组的合计绩效已超过4组，与1组差距仅剩10点。这才月中15号，后面有的是赶上机会。」

This performance is basically a 2-2 finish, with a chance to win first place. If we ultimately win first place in the department, we will not only fulfill the ambitious goal that Mai Xing made at the department meeting at the beginning of the month, but we will also receive performance "contributions" from the other 4 groups.

That adds up to several hundred units of rationality!

This should have been a great thing, but Mai Xing shook his head and said:

"I'm not talking about the internal conflict between the two departments."

Ye Lin understood immediately.

Their efforts to kill the corrupted entity were not solely for improving Group 5's ranking in Part 2.

The core objective is to increase the influence of the Housekeeping Department II within the field service center through sufficient contributions, thereby enabling the application submitted by Yanxuan for the fourth quarter competition between the two departments, conducted in a team format, to be approved.

With only 15 days left until the fourth quarter, they really don't have much time left.

Given that they have already submitted two items that polluted the original body, is that enough for Yanxuan to gain a voice?

While Ye Lin was still pondering this possibility, Mai Xing offered his opinion:

"That's not enough. I think I need to obtain another contaminated object before I can be absolutely certain of success."

"Is Director Li of the Field Service Center really that greedy?" Ye Lin asked, puzzled.

"It's not that he's greedy, but that's just the general trend in society and even the world as a whole."

Having been here for almost a month, Mai Xing's thinking has basically come into complete alignment with the worldview.

With his more than ten years of experience, it's not hard for him to analyze the thoughts of the company's senior management.

Essentially, those who achieve extraordinary results through extraordinary means are superior to those who do not.

In high-sequence populations, this difference is not just one level, but may be a whole dimension higher.

The competition between the two departments of domestic service is simply a matter of establishing reasonable rules within this reasonable worldview.

If Director Li Liang really follows the application submitted by Yanxuan and modifies the competition rules.

That would be tantamount to him going against the entire world.

As a senior executive, he naturally wouldn't do something that could potentially jeopardize his career.

Unless the Household Services Department II offers value that even his direct supervisor or the company's board of directors cannot refuse.

The three contaminated entities are the bottom line that Mai Xing speculates about.

He told Ye Lin his reasoning, and after thinking about it, Ye Lin agreed with his idea.

"Okay, then you should get some rest. Contact me via WeChat if you need anything. I won't be coming tonight. Oh, right, Manager Yan said that we'll hold a departmental commendation meeting after you recover."

"I could have told Yanxuan earlier. I'm not at the hospital tonight either. I'll go through the discharge procedures after this IV drip is finished."

Mai Xing pointed to the nearly empty IV drip bottle and said with a smile:

"I only have a few hours left on my Sequence 5 trial card. If I don't use it fully, I'll lose 30 sanity points."
