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

"What's wrong? You've been so distracted since just now, this isn't like you."

Song Zhida looked at Ling Chenguang, whose eyes had lost their luster, and teased her.

Ling Chenguang has always seemed to have unlimited energy. Even when faced with difficult cases or involved in destroying the dens of evil god believers, he has never shown the slightest fear.

It is quite unusual for him to show such a bewildered and tired state after such a simple statement.

"I'm certain now, Mai Xing is not a suspect who believes in an evil god. There are no fluctuations of energy pathways on him, and his level is only Sequence 8."

Ling Chenguang said in a defeated tone.

Song Zhida nodded in agreement. He seemed indifferent to this interview, but in reality, he had already used a series of probing methods on Mai Xing when they first met.

In addition to the various personal information collected in advance, it is clear that Mai Xing is just an ordinary non-pathological superhuman.

While it is indeed rare in the records that one can kill the corrupted entity without obtaining extraordinary means.

However, this is only because non-transcendent beings do not have the means to obtain information about the contaminated entity.

In many major cases, the destructive power unleashed by non-pathway superhumans even surpasses that of pathway superhumans.

Because most sealed objects possess destructive power, non-pathway superhumans use them as anchors to acquire extraordinary power and advance in rank.

They are better at maximizing power.

Information gathered from the "group buying" group shows that Mai Xing works an average of more than 14 hours a day. It's not surprising that such diligence and hard work have earned him the strength to kill the polluted entity.

The only point of suspicion is that his transformation only occurred in the last month or so. Before that, he hadn't even come into contact with supernatural powers.

Is it because I've reached a certain age and suddenly become more intelligent?

"He's a madman!" Ling Chenguang continued, adding her own words.

"His brain must have been corrupted to come up with this method to find the source of the pollution. Otherwise, who would willingly put themselves in a situation where their sanity is below 50%?"

After criticizing Mai Xing with the least malicious words in the early morning, Guang finally vented all the pent-up frustration in his heart.

Yes, the changes in Mai Xing's mindset after being corrupted by pollution, leading to a severe dependence on and addiction to supernatural powers, could explain the changes in him.

Song Zhida secretly guessed and whispered:

"But this is the dilemma that all non-transcendental superhumans face."

The rental fees for sealed artifacts are exorbitant, while the rewards are disproportionately meager. Every day in the Wealth Zone, hundreds or even thousands of residents fall below 50% of their sanity limit.

Mai Xing was one of the very few who dared to defy fate, but the vast majority of people would only die in a state of madness due to low rationality.

Their plight is beyond the comprehension or empathy of those of us who have achieved extraordinary things.

Ling Chenguang stared blankly at Song Zhida, then lowered his head.

Brother Song is right, I didn't think it through. Mai Xing suppressing his sanity to below 50% to find and kill the corrupted entity was just a desperate attempt to survive under pressure.

My thinking was too one-sided; I almost misunderstood a good person.

Mai Xing, I'm so sorry.

……

"Phew! Finally managed to fool those two security guards."

Mai Xing breathed a sigh of relief after narrowly escaping death.

I thought that with my extensive experience, I could handle even a security guard with ease.

Unexpectedly, the other party's aura alone was enough to make him, who had a guilty conscience, extremely nervous.

Fortunately, I had already prepared my response for today.

In response to Ling Chenguang's question, I told the truth, but I only extracted some of the facts.

The remaining, irrelevant, but crucial information is not worth mentioning.

Mai Xing didn't know what extraordinary abilities the [Security] path possessed. If it had the ability to detect lies, then lying would only lead to his death.

It wasn't until I showed my mental state to the light in the early morning that I remembered it was already close to 50%.

The series of battles has significantly increased the cost of sealed items this month compared to last month, and yesterday's payment of the "use now, pay later" option resulted in a loss of 30 sanity.

The remaining 106.7 will certainly not last until next month's salary is paid.

It's time to find another angel investor.

Lin's mother?

No, she's spent a lot of money on rational spending this month, and with her insistence on using the "pay later" option to increase the impact of "ethical separation," she's probably not much better off than me.

Hmm... I have friends around me who are both rational and willing to lend money...

Mai Xing subconsciously looked towards room 405 next door.

I immediately turned on "Shake Hands".

Unexpectedly, as soon as the app was opened, a bunch of unread messages popped up from "It's Jingjing":

"It's Jingjing: The police rescue team has arrived! Have you escaped safely?"

"It's Jingjing: I've been taken back to the police station. If you see this message, please let me know I'm safe."

……

"It's Jingjing: I heard from the police station that you were hospitalized. How are you feeling?"

"It's Jingjing: If, and I mean if, I suddenly went to visit you in the hospital, would you hate me?"

……

"It's Jingjing: I know you've been discharged from the hospital, I'm so glad you're all safe and sound."

Seeing the caring greetings sent by the other party, Mai Xing couldn't help but feel guilty.

After seeing Mo Shujing in the stairwell last night, I subconsciously assumed that I had already handed things over to her, so I didn't turn on "Shake".

Today, as soon as I got off work, I was busy dealing with the questioning of two security guards.

He immediately typed a reply on "Shake Hands":

"Selling Stars: I've been busy these past few days and haven't checked 'Shake It Up,' sorry. Everything's fine, thank you for your concern."

Mo Shujing, who was doing a live stream next door, saw that the message was from "Selling Stars" and immediately picked up her phone to watch it repeatedly.

It turns out he was just busy and didn't see the "shaking" message; he wasn't intentionally ignoring my messages.

I'm so mean, how could I make such malicious assumptions about him?

For the past two days, Mo Shujing had felt a dull ache in her heart, but the moment she saw the message, all her discomfort vanished.

"It's Jingjing: Yes, it's okay, as long as you're safe."

After typing her reply, Mo Shujing held her phone close to her heart.

She was glad that the cartoon cat mask was big enough to completely cover her facial expressions.

Because at this point, viewers in the live stream were already gossiping about who she was messaging.

Ding!

"Selling Stars: I have a favor to ask, could you lend me some rationality in an emergency?"

"It's Jingjing: Sure, how much do you want? Is 200 sanity enough?"

"Holy crap! No wonder she's a rich woman, the panel really lived up to her reputation!"

The neighbor, Mai Xing, exclaimed, "Rich woman, food!"

However, he did not intend to directly ask Mo Shujing for 200 sanity points.

The value of this would have been at least 2 yuan in my previous life.

Although the two have collaborated many times, they haven't even exchanged information about each other's identities.

Mai Xing felt uneasy about having 200 points of rationality inexplicably borrowed, and at the same time, she didn't want to owe such a large favor.

"Selling stars: You don't need that many, 90 sanity is enough, I'll pay you back next month."

If you can borrow 90 sanity, you can enjoy the buff of having sanity above 90% of the cap for several days:

1. Good physical vitality and mental stability;

2. Aids in the perception and assimilation of extraordinary powers;

3. Immune to the gaze and seductive words of evil gods.

"It's Jingjing: I'm transferring 90 sanity points to you."

The words "Thank you, Jing's mom" were already typed into the chat box, but Mai Xing thought for a second and, wanting to maintain her persona, deleted them and edited them again:

"Selling Stars: Thank you. May the gods who protect cattle and horses bless you with success in your business."
