Chapter 7: There’s No Love Between Colleagues

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Shu and Huang Wen were having lunch together in the company cafeteria. Lin Shu took a chicken leg from his plate and gave it to Huang Wen.

“You should eat more. You’re so skinny!” said Lin Shu.

Huang Wen’s heart trembled, and he almost dropped his chopsticks.

Lin Shu looked at Huang Wen’s thin body and wondered if he had been working too hard on Huang Wen and caused some problems.

‘I should fatten him up before I continue farming my experience with him!’ Lin Shu thought.

Huang Wen took out his phone and sent a text to his friend on WeChat, [What should I do? My senior gave me his chicken leg.]

[Just give in to him. He’s so good to you, Don’t let him down. Hehe.ヾﾉ≧∀≦)o]

[That’s right. What evil intentions can your senior have? Hehehe. ♪٩(´ω`)و♪]

Huang Wen’s heart skipped a beat.

Lin Shu didn’t know what Huang Wen was thinking, and naturally, Lin Shu didn’t have any bad intentions. All Lin Shu wanted was to gain more Exp. Points, level up faster and get his wish come up.

A senior like Lin Shu couldn’t have bad intentions for Huang Wen.

The thought of leveling up made Lin Shu excited. He was going home to gain more experience.

“I’ll take my leave now,” said Lin Shu.

‘Eh?’ Huang Wen thought.

Huang Wen was taken aback when he saw Lin Shu leave with the tray after finishing his meal and didn’t wait for him.

‘He’s leaving me here alone? What does that mean?’ Huang Wen pondered.

Huang Wen was a little confused, ‘Could it be that I had misunderstood Lin Shu?

‘Lin Shu didn’t have any feelings for me at all. It may be the concern of a senior to a new colleague.

‘Wasn’t this love and care a little too intense?’

Huang Wen typed a message on WeChat, [Is this how a senior takes care of a newcomer?]

[Tsk, tsk, tsk. How can there be such a good senior nowadays? He even invited you to dinner and gave you his chicken leg. He must have some ulterior motive.]

[That’s right, I dare say that senior of yours definitely had some bad intentions about you!]

Huang Wen was speechless.

Lin Shu’s company usually had an hour and a half for lunch and a break at noon.

However, Lin Shu didn’t plan to rest. He wanted to continue working to gain more experience and level up quickly.

His position as the wealthiest man in the world was still waiting for him.

To become the wealthiest man, one must bear the weight.

Back in the office, Lin Shu began to calculate the cost of the product parts and began farming experience.

This was the most basic work and was usually assigned by each supervisor. Lin Shu had more than 70, and there would be more in between. However, the estimated time for completion was generally at the end of the month, so there was no rush.

However, since Lin Shu wanted to level up, he had to quickly gain experience.

Lin Shu opened the blueprint and looked at the material.

The board’s thickness, the materials’ size, and the length and width are calculated by gross weight.

Laser cutting length!

The opening of the slope!

Bending work!

During the processing!

Surface treatment!

Calculation…

BEEP!

Congratulations! You have completed calculating the cost of one component. You gained 33 Exp. Points and 2.5 Gold Coins.

BEEP!

Congratulations! You have completed calculating the cost of one component. You gained 30 Exp. Points and 2.5 Gold Coins.

The word, Idler, was above Chen Ping’s head. After eating, he was about to take a rest. When he saw Lin Shu calculating the cost, he grinned.

Then, Chen Ping used his skill to lie flat.

After the lunch break, Chen Ping saw that Lin Shu was still calculating the cost.

‘Why is he so hard working?’ Chen Ping thought.

“Why didn’t you sleep for a while?” Chen Ping.

Lin Shu didn’t even raise his head as he replied, “I’m farming experience to level up.”

‘What’s so good about taking an afternoon nap? It’s much better to play games and gain experience.’ Lin Shu thought.

“What?” Chen Ping asked.

“Um, I’m not tired. I had a good night’s sleep last night. I’m thinking of finishing this so I won’t have to work overtime.” said Lin Shu.

When Chen Ping heard Lin Shu say he wouldn’t be working overtime, the smile on his face brightened. Chen Ping looked at Lin Shu as if he was looking at a fellow comrade and thought, ‘I’m not alone!’

BEEP!

Congratulations! You have completed calculating the cost of another component. You gained 33 Exp. Points and 2.5 Gold Coins.

BEEP!

Congratulations! You have completed calculating the cost of 13 components 16 consecutive times. You gained 119 Exp. Points and 83 Gold Coins.

…

BEEP!

Congratulations! You have completed calculating the cost of 26 components 26 consecutive times. You gained 265 Exp. Points and 153 Gold Coins.

BEEP! Congratulations! you have…

…

Lin Shu was in a good mood as he looked at his Exp. Points kept increasing. As he expected, it was fun to gain experience by playing games. No, it was fun to gain experience by working!

“Done, I finished it all!” said Lin Shu.

After Lin Shu farmed some experience, his body was a little tired.

Lin Shu got up and stretched his body. As he turned his neck, he looked at the experience bar on his virtual panel, 13210/30000. He was almost halfway there, and he was in a good mood.

It gave Lin Shu the hope that leveling up was not far away!

‘The revolution was about to level up… No, to win!

Hearing Lin Shu’s words, Chen Ping grinned and said, “You’re doing it so quickly? Can you help me make some too?”

BEEP!

A request from NPC Ping Chen!

Help Chen Ping calculate the cost and get the corresponding reward according to the completion of the task.

Lin Shu sat on a chair to rest. Seeing Chen Ping’s smile, Lin Shu grinned and said, “Sure!”

Since Lin Shu had nothing to do now anyway. He would continue to do quests and gain experience!

Chen Ping was thrilled, so he sent 10 components to Lin Shu.

Lin Shu took a look and pondered, ‘Only ten?’

“Send me 50. If I can’t finish them, I’ll transfer the unfinished ones to you.”

Chen Ping was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly. He said, “Thank you!”

Naturally, other colleagues beside them heard the conversation between Lin Shu and Chen Ping. Another colleague, Tan Yan, stood up with the title of Level 9 Slacker and said with a smile, “Lin Shu, help me finish some too.”

BEEP!

A request from NPC Tan Yan—

“No!”

Before the quest was even released, Lin Shu had already said the word ‘no’ to destroy the quest.

Everyone was speechless.

Chen Ping looked at Tan Yan’s embarrassed expression after Lin Shu ruthlessly rejected him, and he couldn’t help but feel awkward.

However, Lin Shu didn’t seem to be embarrassed at all. As expected, the person who was embarrassed was someone else.

Chen Ping, of course, didn’t say anything. He could tell that Lin Shu didn’t want to help Tan Yan. He turned on his computer and started to calculate the costs.

Tan Yan sat back in his seat awkwardly, his eyes flickering.

Lin Shu wanted to avoid talking to Tan Yan. In the office, the person Lin Shu wanted to avoid talking to is Tan Yan.

There was an assignment for Lin Shu and Tan Yan to inspect a few suppliers before. Lin Shu had called Tan Yan a few times, but Tan Yan always said he had a lot of things to do and was very busy, so he didn’t go to any of the suppliers. The worst was that in the end, Tan Yan even wrote that he had completed the inspection of the suppliers in summary.

‘Bah! You’re the only one who’s busy playing with your phone!

‘Bah! A Level 9 Slacker was floating above his head, saying that he had a lot of things to do, but he didn’t have time, so he was busy slacking and playing with his phone!’ Lin Shu thought.

At that time, Lin Shu was very confused, and after that, he seldom looked for Tan Yan again.

Even if Lin Shu could earn some Exp. Points, he would rather die of hunger or never level up. He would never help Tan Yan with a single request!
