The rain continued pouring outside. Lin Shu stood under the roof. Just as he opened the umbrella and was about to leave, a lot of Exp. Points from killing monsters appeared in front of his eyes.

BEEP!

Congratulations! You have used Eyesore, one needle piercing the eyes, dealing 1 point of damage to the Level 3 Rat Racer. You gained 209 Exp. Points and 2.27 Gold Coins.

BEEP!

Congratulations! You have used Eyesore, one needle piercing the eyes, dealing half a point damage to the Level 4 Rat Racer. You gained 175 Exp. Points and 2.20 Gold Coins.

BEEP!

Congratulations! You have used Eyesore, one needle piercing the eyes, dealing 1 point of damage to the Level 1 Rat Racer. You gained 150 Exp. Points and 2.17 Gold Coins.

BEEP!

BEEP!

Looking at the Exp. Points, Lin Shu couldn’t help but laugh. It seemed that he hurt many people by leaving work on time. No wonder Zhao Xuan had said that about him.

“Lin Shu, what you said just now was awesome and daring,” said Huang Wen.

Huang Wen quickly caught up and continued excitedly, “You’re mighty. You actually said those things to our superior’s face.”

Lin Shu glanced at Huang Wen and smiled, not saying anything.

Lin Shu didn’t think he was mighty, but he couldn’t help but retort. Fortunately, he had obtained a massive amount of Exp. Points. Although he didn’t level up, Lin Shu was obvious that the system was his source of confidence.

Of course, it didn’t matter if Lin Shu had confidence. He could just get another job after he resigned.

“It’s true, Lin Shu. You’re awesome!” said Huang Wen.

“Awesome my *ss. He was just being impulsive,” said Qi Yuan.

The Pessimist Qi Yuan walked over and heard Huang Wen’s words. Qi Yuan asked, “Are you going to tender your resignation too?”

Lin Shu’s gaze fell on Idler Chen Ping. It was evident that Chen Ping was the one who had told Qi Yuan that Lin Shu had resigned.

Chen Ping was a little embarrassed by Lin Shu’s stare. He smiled and said, “I saw you drafting your resignation letter.”

“Have you found a job yet? You’re too impulsive to say such things without any preparation. You’ll be under a lot of pressure later on.

“What if you can’t find a better company than your current one? What if the salary is lower than your expectation? It’s very complicated to find a new company for an interview. Have you thought about it? It felt good for a moment, but it was terrifying after. If I tell you that you can’t find a job with just a few empty words, your entire mentality will collapse!” said Qi Yuan.

Upon hearing the words of the Pessimist Qi Yuan, Chen Ping and Huang Wen, who were beside Lin Shu, also worried about Lin Shu. They furrowed their brows, not knowing what to do.

“I’m telling you, you’ll really be in despair!” said Qi Yuan.

Danger!

A Pessimist unleashed its skill. A large wave of negative energy will attack you and surround you!

“Then I won’t. I don’t plan to look for a new job anyway.” Lin Shu laughed.

BEEP!

Congratulations! You have used Coolness Palm to disperse the negative energy aura and deal a certain amount of damage to the Level 9 Pessimist. You gained 590 Exp. Points and 2.47 Gold Coins.

The Pessimist Qi Yuan paused. He frowned and asked, “You’re not looking for a job?”

“We’ll see. Anyway, I don’t have any plans for the time being. I’ll take a break for a while.” said Lin Shu.

The break that Lin Shu had mentioned was actually to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination. However, he didn’t intend to mention it.

Since there was still a postgraduate entrance examination side quest, he decided to resign and prepare for it. He only had three months left, so he would first complete this normal-level side quest.

Qi Yuan stared at Lin Shu, frowning. He had not expected Lin Shu to say such a thing.

“You… Even if you rest for a while, you still need to find a job. The financial pressure will make you suffer.” said Qi Yuan.

Lin Shu patted Qi Yuan’s shoulder and said with a smile, “It’s just resigning from my current job. It’s not as serious as you think.”

“However, you’ve been saying that you’re going to resign for three years, yet you are still here. On the other hand, I’m the one who actually resigned. Haha.” Lin Shu laughed.

BEEP!

Congratulations! You have backhanded and stabbed the monster in the heart, causing significant damage to the Level 9 Pessimist. You gained 990 Exp. Points and 107 Gold Coins.

Qi Yuan’s heart ached.

The smile on Lin Shu’s face became even brighter. It turned out that Pessimists weren’t unkillable after all. One still had to find their weak point and kill them.

Qi Yuan opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say and watched Lin Shu leave.

Chen Ping followed Lin Shu with an umbrella in his hand. He turned around and added, “Lin Shu was wrong. You had said it for four years.”

Qi Yuan was speechless.

…

Huang Wen and Lin Shu went to the company’s cafeteria together. Huang Wen had initially wanted to invite Lin Shu out for a meal, but Lin Shu had rejected him.

Lin Shu wanted to go back to study and gain more Exp. Points after eating.

“You’re not going to work overtime today?” Lin Shu asked.

“After hearing what you said, I don’t want to work overtime for too long either. It’s really too torturous,” Huang Wen said.

“Be careful, or those higher-ups might look for you.” Lin Shu warned.

When Huang Wen heard Lin Shu’s words, he couldn’t help but smile and say, “Because of what you said, our superior will look for you first, not us.

“But, Lin Shu, did you really submit your resignation?”

Lin Shu nodded his head.

Huang Wen was a little disappointed. He felt that Lin Shu was a really good senior to him. It was a pity that he wouldn’t have many opportunities to learn from Lin Shu in the future. However, he was also worried for Lin Shu. In fact, just as Qi Yuan had said, tendering resignation without thinking was only a temporary pleasure. However, there were still many things to consider later on.

“Lin Shu, what are you planning to do after resting for a while?” Huang Wen asked.

“I’ll think about it later,” said Lin Shu.

Even though Lin Shu said that he had already made up his mind. He just had to focus on completing the postgraduate entrance examination side quest.

Moreover, Lin Shu was now Level 20 and still couldn’t use the Wishing Talisman, so he had to continue to level up and gain more Exp. Points.

The Exp. Points needed for the next level had doubled.

Lin Shu’s current experience bar was 11250/90000. It would not be easy to get 90000 Exp. Points.

According to the system’s method of earning Exp. Points, Lin Shu thought he would definitely get a good reward for completing the side quest. After all, this was his first side quest, and it was very rare to see a side quest in the game.

Perhaps, after Lin Shu completed this side quest, he would get a massive amount of Exp. Points. Who knows, he might be able to use the Wishing Talisman at that time.

With that thought in mind, Lin Shu began to look forward to it.

After returning to his dormitory, Lin Shu remembered that he still had a mystery gift that he had yet to open after leveling up.

Lin Shu was looking forward to it. He wondered what kind of equipment he would get from this upgrade.

Lin Shu hoped that he would be able to use this mystery gift immediately.

Lin Shu looked at the inventory in his virtual panel. He avoided the eye-piercing Wishing Talisman and opened another mystery gift.

BEEP!

?

Lin Shu looked at the gift with some doubt.

Memory potion.

‘What kind of equipment is that?’ Lin Shu thought.
