Eighteen Ghost Emperors of my ancestors, how dare you make me live in terror?

"This project is under the personal supervision of the CEO and highly valued by the company leadership; our department must go all out to secure it!"

A bright office with floor-to-ceiling windows, a coffee machine, rows of neat workstations, and an excited department manager standing at the front.

Lu was momentarily dazed.

The scene before me seems to be a real workplace.

At the same time, there is also a fictional memory in my mind.

He was an outstanding graduate from a university with a decent ranking. After tireless efforts, he finally received an offer from this Fortune 500 company and became a hardworking newcomer in the workplace.

The only goal is to work hard, work overtime, get promoted and receive a raise, and meet the CEO.

This memory is very vivid. The lower the level of the Ghost Master, the more deeply the memory will affect them, and the more they will identify with the employees in the workplace.

The way to clear this dungeon is also unique.

As a new employee, you'll have a month to work, during which you'll have opportunities to perform and encounter common workplace pressures. If you do well, you can get promoted and receive a raise; if you make a mistake, you'll be scolded and have your pay docked.

The higher the salary you receive after a month, the higher your position, and the greater the reward for completing the challenge.

All those who master the dungeon know that to get the highest reward for clearing the dungeon, one must work hard to get promoted to the highest position and then be valued by the dungeon's mysterious leader—the female CEO of the company, Jiang Yingqing.

However, no one has been able to enter Jiang Yingqing's president's office yet.

Even someone as powerful as a master of deception cannot maintain a perfect record for a whole month in a real, high-pressure workplace.

Most of them are either crazy or rebellious.

Lu Ye wasn't the only one who came in this time; there were several other Ghost Masters as well. However, there are too many departments in the company, so we haven't encountered them yet.

[Marketing Department, Lu Ye, P1 level employee.]

Lu glanced at his employee ID and the thick book of company regulations on his computer desk.

A monthly salary of 3000 is the base salary. Being late incurs a 100 deduction, eating snacks in the office incurs a 50 deduction, and failing to respond to the supervisor promptly incurs a 200 deduction...

Lu was too lazy to look at the rest.

I glanced at the time in the bottom right corner of my computer screen; it was 18:22 PM, past the end of the workday.

But the manager, who was severely balding, was still excitedly talking non-stop.

"This project is one of the company's most important projects this year. President Jiang attaches great importance to it and has even approved a separate bonus. If you win the project, it's all yours!"

Let me elaborate a bit on this project.

"It's mainly divided into eight parts, each part is further divided into ten major points, and each major point is further divided into twenty minor points..."

"Everyone, put in extra effort these next two days. Bring out the same passion you have for working on proposals all night. Those who live far away, just stay at the company instead of going home. Save time on the commute and mealtimes. Work is your best source of spiritual nourishment!"

"Come on, everyone, get moving! Promotions and raises are beckoning you!"

babble-

The sound of someone drinking water came from the quiet office.

The department manager approached Lu Ye, smiling as he looked at the cup in his hand. "Goji berries in a thermos? Very good. You even prepared nutritional supplements for working on a proposal all night. Everyone should learn from Lu Ye."

"Learn what?" Lu Ye looked up in confusion.

"We should learn from your dedication to improving your health for the company!" The department manager was very pleased and even had the urge to give you a reward on the spot.

"Oh, you misunderstood. I'm just trying to conceive recently," Lu replied casually, standing up and waving her hand. "You can't stay up late when trying to conceive. You guys are busy, I'm going home now."

Amidst the stunned gazes of all the employees, Lu Ye simply turned and left.

As I passed by other departments, I took a closer look and sure enough, I saw several other Ghostmasters who had entered the instance.

Some were pulled into meeting rooms for meetings, while others sat in front of computers typing furiously on their keyboards... In any case, everyone looked miserable.

As I passed the restroom, a Ghost Hunter dressed in a cleaning uniform was washing a mop in the sink, with a cleaning cart next to him.

The air was quiet when their eyes met.

Lu Ye: "........."

Wang Chao: "........."

"Good job mopping the floor, keep it up." Lu Ye grinned.

Wang Chao said coldly, "Don't tell anyone. Have some shame."

"Do cleaning staff also have to work overtime?" Lu asked curiously.

"There's overtime pay and high rewards for completing tasks, why don't you work overtime?"

"I'm already S-rank, why should I be treated like a beast of burden?"

"Be careful, if you displease your department manager, you'll be attacked in a bizarre way. This isn't an ordinary workplace, it's a weird workplace."

Perhaps because they had developed feelings for each other while fighting in the barrier last time, Wang Chao said something extra before leaving.

"A bizarre workplace? Does that mean a bizarre workplace doesn't need to be addressed?"

Lu hummed a song as he clocked out, becoming the only person in the entire building to leave on time.

The company is located in the city center, where you can see all kinds of tall and high-end office buildings and a surge of office workers on the road, speeding around on their electric scooters.

It must be said that the higher the level of the eerie dungeon, the more realistic it becomes.

Lu Yedu felt as if he had traveled to a modern urban world.

"A salary of 3000 yuan without room and board is simply outrageous."

Lu complained for a moment, then hailed a taxi, intending to find a place to stay first.

The rewards for completing the game are related to the salary you will receive at the end of the month, so if you have a monthly salary of 3000 and you also need to rent a house, plus the expenses for food and commuting, you will probably spend it all before the end of the month.

I got into a taxi, and my phone vibrated. It was a message from my department manager. I guess that's when I finally snapped out of my shock.

[Manager]: Xiao Lu, you have ten minutes. Now, immediately, come back to the company and work overtime.

Lu also took a picture of himself in the car and sent it back.

Excuse me, I've boarded (goodbye).

[Manager]: Then take a taxi back.

[Lu Ye]: The fare is quite expensive, and the company doesn't reimburse it.

[Manager]: Disobeying company leadership will result in a 200 yuan deduction from your performance bonus. Figure it out yourself.

[Lu Ye]: Please don't disturb me while I'm enjoying my life after get off work.

Turning off his phone, Lu Ye turned his head and looked at the dark figure that slowly appeared beside him.

It was a bizarre creature with a human-shaped body but a computer monitor as its head, displaying four bloody words: "Go back to work overtime."

At the same time, the humanoid body was holding a chainsaw, as if it would tear Lu Ye to pieces with the chainsaw if he said no.

hum!

The chainsaw started spinning wildly.

Click!

Lu Ye twisted the head off the strange computer monitor with his other hand.

The strange coffin on the arm opened, and a strong, powerful arm reached out from it, grabbed the remaining body of the strange creature, and pulled it inside.

"miamiamia".

The first strange coffin emitted chewing sounds, followed by a flattering remark.

"Master Lu is a jerk, he loves good food!"

"Eat as much as you like."

Lu Ye smiled as he looked out the car window at the scenery. "Anyone who fucking dares to make me work overtime is dead, not even if it's weird."

Twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of a top-of-the-line five-star hotel.

Lu also slapped a 1,000-yuan note on the front desk.

The girl behind the counter was stunned when she saw his work clothes and name tag.

"Guest, you..."

Do working-class people really need to spend this much?

"What's wrong with being a working person? Can't working people enjoy life? Give me your best presidential suite!"
