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

Following the destination directions on the work order, Mai Xing and Ye Lin arrived at the warehouse that Chen Enna's workplace was going to clear out.

Since it was a work order with a performance bonus of 20, Mai Xing felt that he might not be able to finish it in one day, so he might as well invite Lin's mother to work together to improve efficiency.

The person in charge of the liaison was a middle-aged man in a security guard uniform. Mai Xing learned from Chen En that he was his supervisor, Huang Qiang.

"Hello, Brother Huang, I'm Mai Xing from 'Group Buying Housekeeping,' and this is Ye Lin. We're here to empty the warehouse." Mai Xing politely introduced himself upon meeting her.

"You're Xiao Chen's classmate, right? He told me last night that you're very capable in housekeeping and have handled many jobs for wealthy people in Ideal District. Demolishing this warehouse shouldn't be a problem, right?" Huang Qiang was very approachable and chatted with Mai Xing in a friendly manner.

"Absolutely no problem. We're backed by a major platform. If Brother Huang isn't satisfied, he can just give us a bad review," Mai Xing assured him. Huang Qiang waved his hand dismissively, saying:

"No need. I trust Xiao Chen, so I naturally trust you too. This warehouse is quite large, and there are a lot of miscellaneous things inside. It will probably take a lot of time to clear everything out. How long do you estimate it will take to complete the cleaning? I'll come over to inspect it," Huang Qiang asked.

His expectation was three days; if he exceeded that time limit, his bosses would probably hold him accountable.

"It should be finished before 4 p.m.," Mai Xing said conservatively.

"No way... I didn't hear wrong?" Huang Qiang couldn't believe his ears. This warehouse was filled with a large number of documents that were to be discarded, with various shelves standing in rows. There might even be pollutants hidden inside.

If it were really that easy to complete, Huang Qiang wouldn't have outsourced the job; instead, he would have found a few acquaintances to do it and split the funding.

"That's right, we can complete the transaction today." Mai Xing nodded in confirmation.

"Okay, see you at 4 o'clock then. Work hard, there's plenty of time." Huang Qiang gave a few more instructions and then left the warehouse.

Crash!

The heavy iron gate of the warehouse was pulled open, and a wave of dust and the smell of decay hit their nostrils, almost making Mai Xing gasp for breath.

"Cough cough, this mask is so ineffective at blocking air. Is this the quality of the tools provided by the company?" Mai Xing, wearing a mask, coughed repeatedly, her eyes stinging and watering.

Although using the power of the sealed artifact "Mr. Fierce" to attach to all of my clothes can completely resist this polluted air.

However, the price of this sealed artifact is an extreme fear of women, and Ye Lin is with him on this job. Mai Xing is worried that he will not be able to withstand the consequences.

"Reason is hard to come by, and shit is hard to swallow," Ye Lin said with a sigh, fanning herself repeatedly.

The two inspected the warehouse, which was about the same size as the warehouse cleaning site that Mai Xing had previously worked on.

However, this place is piled with all sorts of documents and miscellaneous items, all of which need to be destroyed. Moving them all off the shelves and cleaning them up is an extremely labor-intensive task.

Moreover, the densely packed metal bookshelves were all installed and fixed to the ground, covered in rust, and many were broken, leaving sharp chips.

Cleaning it up is not only laborious, but you might also get cut and possibly develop tetanus.

"Which sealing artifact will we use today?" Ye Lin asked expectantly.

"All you do is use my Level 1 pollutants. If there were no pollutants in this warehouse, then using Level 1 pollutants would be a complete waste of my time," Mai Xing said, frowning.

However, even so, when Mai Xing accepted this work order last night, he had already planned to use "Mother of the Deep Nest".

After all, among the sealed items/contaminants he possessed, only this contaminant was the most suitable for the current work order and also the most efficient.

The 20 performance points earned from work orders can also help the second department close some of the performance gap and reduce pressure.

At this moment, the long-absent [Wish Quest] reappeared above Ye Lin's head:

[Wish Quest: Ye Lin, who has advanced to Sequence 7, desperately desires the power of a Level 1 Sealed Artifact. Save the child and allow her to fully utilize Level 1 Sealed Artifacts/Contaminants today. (Reward: Unlocks item conversion of the same quality)]

Mai Xing strongly suspects that this damn panel is morally blackmailing him, and he has evidence.

With the last remaining [Team Bond] ability available, Mai Xing will sync "Mother of the Deep Nest" to Ye Lin.

Relevant information immediately surfaced in Ye Lin's mind, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this the same spider that almost killed us and corrupted our body?"

"That's right, it's this one. To be honest, this Level 1 contaminated creature isn't very strong. I plan to kill it and hand it over to the company by October, which should end this two-part competition."

After hearing this bombshell news, Ye Lin was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped.

"This is a Level 1 contaminated entity. Do you think the two of us can kill it?"

Ye Lin felt very uncertain. If she hadn't been attacked by this corrupted entity before, she might have had the courage to take on the challenge.

But having truly experienced its terror, Ye Lin did not believe that two people who had only advanced one level in their sequence could kill it.

"If it were half a month ago, I really wouldn't be confident. But now that I've reached Sequence 7, I can unlock its [elimination method], and with knowledge of its weaknesses, I should be able to take a gamble."

If all else fails, we can spend a fortune to rent a Level 1 sealed artifact with a usage cost of 5 sanity, and temporarily increase its influence to "complete assimilation" using the "use now, pay later" method. I can also synchronize the power of this sealed artifact to you. With both of us being non-path Sequence 4 level, how could we possibly lose to this little spider with a usage cost of only 1.5 sanity?

Mai Xing spoke with great passion, which filled Ye Lin with longing, and she subconsciously licked her lips in excitement.

"But before that, we need to raise its influence to [Initial Influence]. Let's do our best to complete it today." After saying that, Mai Xing used the power of "Mother of the Deep Nest".

[Using the contaminant "Mother of the Deep Nest (Subjugated)" deducts 1.5 sanity.]

[Remaining usage time: 02:59:99]

[Rationality Balance: 317.39]

The power of the "Mother of the Deep Nest" gathered in the palms of her hands. Mai Xing raised her hands toward a bookshelf in front of her that was completely corroded by rust and looked as if it would disintegrate with a push. Dark green corrosive liquid sprayed from her palms and poured onto the metal frame.

After becoming Sequence 7 and fully unlocking the "Mother of the Deep Nest" ability, the power of the corrosive liquid it emitted increased once again. In an instant, the metal bookshelf and the documents on it were all dissolved into thick smoke and sewage under the corrosive liquid.

At that moment, a clump of rust attached to the bookshelf quietly detached itself, blended into the ground, and moved quickly, trying to escape to another metal shelf not far ahead.

Unfortunately, it hadn't gotten very far before a blob of dark green liquid was poured over it.

sizzle...

Black smoke rose, and the obviously active rust turned into a pool of molten iron, which disappeared along with the "Mother of the Deep Nest" as its power naturally dissipated, and the contamination attached to it was removed.

It was Ye Lin who made the move.

"I've seen this rust contaminant several times in other places, but I've never been able to document it," Mai Xing said regretfully.

"Maybe we'll reap some rewards today," Ye Lin said with a smile, as she fired venom at another metal frame, quickly dissolving it into wastewater.
