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

"Hey, are you really going to work with me on this circuit repair work order? It's only worth 1 performance point."

If you want to split the performance bonus equally, I'm going to make a scene.

Zhen Guoguo stared at Mai Xing and asked in confusion.

"Look at what you're saying. I'm just here to assist you, how could I dare to take a cut? It's already my greatest honor to be able to observe Ms. Zhen Guoguo's superb circuit repair skills up close."

Mai Xing said with absolute certainty.

He was speechless. With an average daily performance rating of 7.5, none of the domestic workers in the second department, including Ye Lin, could achieve such a result.

Do I care about your 1 performance rating?

What I want is your sealed artifact, which costs 12 sanity per month!

"Alright."

Zhen Guoguo remained skeptical.

After all, Mai Xing, who never visits unless he has a reason, actually came to us today.

Aside from using reason and digging her into five groups, Zhen Guoguo really couldn't think of any other reason.

The work order destination is located in an apartment building in the Struggle District.

The two took the elevator in the building and knocked on the owner's door.

"Hello, we are housekeeping staff from 'Group Buying Housekeeping', providing in-home electrical repair services."

The homeowner was a middle-aged man dressed in business attire, who appeared to be a white-collar worker.

Upon hearing Zhen Guoguo's sweet and soft voice, the seriousness on his face instantly melted away.

"Please come in."

After listening to the homeowner's description, Mai Xing and his colleague learned that the problem was with the electrical circuit in the kitchen area.

Since last night, only the kitchen area of ​​the entire house has been without power.

Both lighting and electrical appliances stopped working.

But the overall line is fine.

After explaining the relevant matters, Zhen Guoguo wasted no time and got straight to work.

She rented a sealing artifact called "100,000 Volts" from "Taobao," and the next moment a notification popped up on the panel to "take notes."

[Note-taking ability activated. Should "Sealed Artifact 2-2851: 100,000 Volts" be included?]

Included!

[Sealed item: "2-2851 Hundred Thousand Volts"]

Impact: No impact (0/100)

[Cost per use: 0.12 sanity/minute]

[Ability: Gains heightened sensitivity to electricity during use and can release electrical energy through an energy body]

[Cons: A weak electrical current will continuously leak from the body after use; the duration is affected by the duration of use.]

[Synopsis: A little mouse died from electrocution after gnawing on an electrical wire. Its survival instinct, catalyzed by an extraordinary force, caused it to merge with the current, continuing to live as an energy form. "I, the little mouse, have survived this ordeal!"]

A tiny, golden mouse, crackling with electric light, gathered on Zhen Guoguo's shoulder and quickly climbed up her shoulder and neck until it reached the top.

It made crackling electrical noises as it walked, and its chubby little bottom wobbled as it ran, which was quite adorable.

"I've become a Pokémon Master."

Mai Xing silently complained.

[Using the sealed artifact "2-2851 Ten Thousand Volts" deducts 0.12 sanity.]

[Remaining usage time: 02:59:99]

[Rationality Balance: 187.17]

A small golden electric mouse materialized on Mai Xing's shoulder as the sealing artifact was used.

It was smaller than Zhen Guoguo's, but the occasional sparks and explosions from it were much louder.

Mai Xing imitated Zhen Guoguo's action of pressing her palms against the wall, channeling her extraordinary spiritual power from her palms into the wall to search for the hidden wiring.

Almost immediately, the circuitry within a one-meter diameter radius centered on him came into view.

As spiritual energy continued to be released, the range of perception rapidly expanded, covering most of the kitchen.

Even Zhen Guoguo, who had also infiltrated the circuit via "100,000 Volts," was detected by him.

At this moment, Zhen Guoguo turned her gaze over, clearly she had also sensed Mai Xing's extraordinary power.

"Hmph, finally I have a superhuman power that surpasses yours, huh? My '100,000 Volts' has reached the [Initial Influence] level."

Zhen Guoguo proudly showed off.

However, he immediately frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.

"I refuse! Your super-current strength is clearly inferior to mine, so why is your flow rate faster?!"

"Perhaps it's because I have a better understanding of sealed artifacts. If you run more work orders every day, you can do it too."

Mai Xing encouraged her in an infuriating tone, making Zhen Guoguo grit her teeth in anger.

As the power of "100,000 Volts" continued to extend, his senses finally enveloped the entire kitchen area.

Suddenly, the spiritual energy flowing through a certain area vanished abruptly, as if it had sunk into the sea.

This kind of abnormality shouldn't happen in an ordinary family; there's probably only one explanation.

It was contaminated and swallowed.

Glancing at Zhen Guoguo, who was still focused on her investigation, Mai Xing didn't say anything. He didn't mind helping Zhen Guoguo complete the work order without any reward.

If Zhen Guoguo had cleared the pollution, he might have missed the valuable opportunity to record the pollutants.

"Mouse, let's get to work."

Mai Xing patted the little electric mouse that was perched on his shoulder, looking around intently like a scout.

This mouse, formed from the power of the sealed object, was quite intelligent. After sensing Mai Xing's will, it lightly leaped from his shoulder to the ground without needing to give a clear command and ran at high speed towards the location where the spiritual power disappeared.

It's sizzling!It's sizzling!

The frenzied electrical energy grew increasingly agitated as the mouse moved forward, its golden body surface constantly sparking electric sparks.

The mouse stopped in front of the wall where the spiritual energy had disappeared. It tensed up and exerted its strength. A current of electricity, thicker than a thumb, shot out from its forehead and struck the abnormal location.

The electric light, transformed from spiritual energy, left no damage to the wall. The current penetrated the wall and went deep inside, instantly finding the source of the pollution.

At this moment, Mai Xing's senses were synchronized with the current inside the wall. He discovered that the hidden pollution was actually escaping at high speed through the lines, trying to evade the rats' pursuit.

Mai Xing immediately increased the amount of spiritual energy he poured into the mouse, and the mouse, now brimming with energy, shone with golden light. As its body tensed up again, the current flowing into the circuitry also accelerated in sync.

It's sizzling!

The rat's attack struck the contaminant with lightning speed. Soon after, something golden emerged from the wall, fell to the ground, and twisted its body repeatedly, like an earthworm that had been sprayed with a lethal dose of insecticide.

Mai Xing went over to take a look and found that it was an energy creature made of extraordinary power, just like the rat.

Although its size resembles that of an earthworm, Mai Xing observed its triangular head and other features of its body.

I'm guessing it's a small electric snake.

Clap!

A beam of light as thick as a finger slammed down on the small electric snake, instantly crushing it into pulverized supernatural energy.

Having defeated its enemy in one fell swoop, the mouse climbed back onto Mai Xing's shoulder, head held high, hands on its hips, as if proudly showing off its achievement.

["100,000 Volts" effect value +5 (from seal artifact usage)]

The kitchen lights turned on instantly, and the information on the control panel popped up simultaneously.

This circuit repair work order is now completely completed!

To Mai Xing's relief, his efforts were not in vain.

[Note-taking ability activated. Should "Contaminant Snake" be included?]

Included!
