Chapter 1: The Monstrous Colleagues Around Me
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In a parallel world, there was a place called Star City.
Lin Shu sat at his desk in a daze.
Everyone else’s impression of Lin Shu was that he was staring blankly out the window.
In fact, Lin Shu wasn’t in a daze. He wondered if the virtual panel in front of him was an illusion.

Lin Shu’s gaze fell on the other part of the interface, the Item Mall. As a thought flashed in his mind, the peculiar system sounded.
Your level needs to be higher to unlock the Item Mall. You are unable to make trades or purchases. Please work hard to level up.
Lin Shu shook his head, and the virtual panel disappeared. He tried to clear his mind and went outside to calm down.
Many people were sitting in front of the computers in the cubicles, all buried in their work. However, Lin Shu could clearly see a line of text floating above the heads of several people.
Level 8 Slacker
Skill: Being lazy.
Remarks: Harmless.
Level 1 Slacker
Skill: Being lazy.
Remarks: Harmless.
Level 4 Slacker…
Level 2 Slacker…
…
There were more than 40 people in the large office, and more than a dozen were slacking off.
Among them was a boss of the Slackers, a level 20 Slacker King!
Level 20 Slacker King
Skill: Being lazy and pretentious.
Warning: Stay away. It possessed hidden danger!
Lin Shu’s gaze fell on his colleague, Zhou Quan, sitting in the corner. Lin Shu was shocked because Zhou Quan was often one of the top few in the office. Lin Shu didn’t expect Zhou Quan to be a Slacker King.
And Zhou Quan was the only Slacker in the office that had reached a level with two-digit.
When Lin Shu’s gaze fell on Zhou Quan, Zhou Quan seemed to have noticed something. Zhou Quan glanced at Lin Shu with his sharp eyes and said, “Lin Shu, send me the progress of your project as soon as possible. I still have to summarize it. Sigh, I have to work overtime again today.”
As Zhou Quan said that, he looked helpless and sad.
‘He’s very good at hiding it,’ Lin Shu thought.
Lin Shu nodded his head in response. He knew he couldn’t afford to offend the Slackers, so he decided to stay away from them.
Lin Shu went to the washroom to wash his face and calm down. He returned to his work desk and sent the project’s progress to Zhou Quan. When Lin Shu was about to start working on the tool drawings, his new colleague, Huang Wen, who had just graduated this year, came looking for Lin Shu.
“Lin Shu, Mr. Tian gave me a work order and asked me to develop a reworked plan. I don’t know what to do,” Huang Wen said.
BEEP!
A request from NPC Huang Wen!
Guide him on the reworked plan.
Your Rewards are additional 10 Friendship points with Huang Wen, 188.3 Exp. Points and 20 Gold Coins.
Lin Shu tried his best not to notice the strange voice and the line of words that suddenly appeared in front of his eyes and said, “The reworked plan is straightforward. Just follow the required reworking according to the design plan.”
As he spoke, Lin Shu opened the reworked plan summary in the folder on his computer. He randomly opened a plan and said, “Look at the plan given by design, and you follow the steps, but what he wrote here is the technical method to define the area of the base material and the crack area of the welding. You have to write the specific technical method. Also, he wrote welding, but you have to write the technical welding parameters, what material the base material is, what wire to choose, what welding current and voltage, and so on. In addition…”
Huang Wen listened to Lin Shu’s explanation and nodded. Huang Wen roughly knew how to come up with a reworked plan. He looked at Lin Shu’s reworked plan and said, “Lin Shu, can you send this to me? I’ll use it as a reference.”
“Sure,” said Lin Shu.
Naturally, Lin Shu had no objections and sent a copy to Huang Wen via email.
“Thank you, Lin Shu,” said Huang Wen.
BEEP!
Congratulations! You have completed NPC Huang Wen’s request.
You gained10 Friendship points with Huang Wen, 188.3 Exp. Points and 20 Gold Coins.
Lin Shu looked at the information on his virtual panel after he had completed the quest. There was indeed a change. The experience bar had increased, and his balance had become 22 gold coins.
“Reference? You’re just a copycat.”
A head popped out from the next desk with a line of words floating above it.
Level 9 Pessimist
Skill: Negative energy radiation. Infecting people by enveloping them in negative energy.
“Do you want to go down for an examination together?” Lin Shu’s colleague, Qi Yuan, asked leisurely.
‘He scared the sh*t out of me!’ Lin Shu thought.
Lin Shu was frightened by the line of text above Qi Yuan’s head. He quickly shook his head and refused, “No, I’m not going. I still have to work on the tool drawings.”
For some reason, Lin Shu felt a wave of negative energy.
Lin Shu knew very well how negative the senior beside him was. When Lin Shu joined the company, Qi Yuan said that the company was terrible and that he wanted to leave. However, Qi Yuan has been with the company for almost three years and still didn’t leave.
Lin Shu had just opened the Unigraphics and was about to draw when he saw a line of words floating over his colleague’s head.
Level 6 Idler
Skill: Do nothing.
Remarks: Harmless.
Chen Ping walked to Lin Shu’s side and grinned at him.
Lin Shu’s mouth twitched as he smiled back at Chen Ping.
After that, Lin Shu lowered his head and started drawing. He was in charge of this product, so he had to finish the tooling design and go through the requisition SOP as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would be in trouble if there were no tool drawings to refer to during the trial production.
Sketch!
Stretch, spin, mirror, arrange!
Export and label!
BEEP!
Congratulations! You have completed a tool drawing that needs to be improved.
You gained 800 Exp. Points and 66 Gold Coins.
Lin Shu let go of his mouse and stretched his neck. He saw that Chen Ping, lying down, had sat up straight.
Lin Shu took a look. As expected, the two superiors of the office returned after their meeting.
Lin Shu didn’t see the words above the heads of the two superiors. Of course, that had nothing to do with him.
However…
“Lin Shu!” Tian Cheng called out. Since there was no teleportation, he could only walk over quickly.
“That Linear Welding Machine is about to be inspected. Are you done with the inspection materials?”
“What inspection? It was not my responsibility.” Lin Shu was dumbfounded.
“Didn’t you go through the technical agreement?” Tian Cheng frowned and said, “You must follow up on the equipment inspection and use it later! It’s about time for inspection. Why didn’t you know?”
Level 9 Buck Passer
Skill: Playing the blame game.
A line of text suddenly appeared above Tian Cheng’s head.
Incoming attack! The Level 9 Buck Passer has put the blame on you, accurately hitting you!
‘What the heck!
‘You were the one who asked me to write the technical agreement for you with the tender technical requirements and the winning company’s bid. Since when did I become responsible for it?’
Lin Shu felt so angry about that. He felt as if he had just received a severe attack.
‘I felt so uncomfortable that I wanted to spit in his face!’
“Hurry up then,” Zhao Xuan said, “We have to organize the pre-inspection tomorrow. You have to get it done by today.”
A line of text floated out from the top of Zhao Xuan’s head.
Level 5 Gasbag
Skill: Talks excessively about trivial matters, leaving people speechless.
Incoming attack! The Level 5 Gasbag spat a mouthful of nonsense at you!
Lin Shu was speechless. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
‘T-This office is too dangerous!’ Lin Shu thought.
