NOVEL NEXT Chapter 10: Of Course
"TT2 Protocol... Joint Command ... Assembly Summons... Angela, is this the document I must approve?"
X looked seriously at the stack of documents in his hand. These were research from the Control Department. When she signs, the corresponding function will be released, but... only one research will be approved at a time.
[TT2 Protocol ]
The Singularity technique comes from T Corporation, which can change the Corporation's internal time flow rate, speeding up time or slowing down time. Can help Managers better manage employees and handle other unexpected situations.
[ Joint Command ]
Allowing Departments to cooperate, the Control Department can command other Department employees, and through Joint Command can overcome Department work and handle outbreaks or emergencies.
[ Assembly Summons ]
Send out a message to each employee, and you can quickly notify the employee back to their respective Department.
All very useful, but the most useful is probably [TT2 Protocol], X without any hesitation chose [TT2 Protocol].
Time control is a very unpredictable technique, even if it's just the Department dividing the time area, it is extremely formidable. X doesn't know how much energy L Corporation will have to spend to exchange from T Corporation for this technical right to use.
Truly a rich corporation...
X exclaimed, looking closely, in L Corporation the technology applied was also provided by another Corporation, using Singularity technology continuously.
Like Regenerator, Mental Corruption Neutralizing Gas always works to support employees...
[Manager, TT2 Protocol has signed and confirmed, properly applying this technology will be of great help to you.]
Just like that for a moment, after signing the name, a few more buttons appeared on the monitoring desk.
[ Pause ][ Decelerate ][ Accelerate ][ Double speed ]. After applying [TT2 Protocol], the time passing rate of the manager in the room and the employee's working area speed will be different. Creates a time difference, causes relative acceleration and relative deceleration, and even causes a relative stagnation in another area of time.
This is an unimaginably extraordinary technique, enough to be called a miracle. But it is this magic-like miracle technology that can be called [Singularity technology].
Roughly... Only L Corporation, which never lacks fuel, can freely use this technology.
But before starting official work, I also need to talk to the Deans. Notifying Dean that the Department will officially start, a working day officially begins, which by the way is also the time when Dean tells the Manager the mission.
Although it's very strange for Dean to delegate work to the Manager, in terms of status, X is indeed the Manager who can only try to prove her abilities to Dean.
"Manager, your job isn't just to control those Abnormalities, you also want to maintain their emotional state. Leave them in this good state to be able to produce as many PE-BOXes.
This is the most important thing, everything else is secondary!"
"Please ensure that the employee who completes the evaluation is also [Excellent]. I believe you can do it!"
Control Department Malkuth Dean always had the same spirit full of vitality and love, that look of anticipation that brought encouragement to X. X also did not want to disappoint Malkuth, but with another Dean, Safety Department Dean Netzach, she was completely as unenthusiastic as before.
The fact that Netzach was stabbed unconscious by Enkephalin and still able to think could be considered a miracle, even standing up was a problem. It's strange to do something like that without causing any problems, but no matter whether Malkuth or Angela seems to be used to this, only X will feel unwanted.
On the screen, Netzach fell asleep, yawned, and lazily said her mission.
"... There is no safe place for this Corporation. Can you avoid the death of your employees?"
The meaning is that she wants X to avoid the death of the employee. Safety Department Dean has fallen so far that she doesn't expect the employee to do anything. As a Manager, she naturally wants to take on this responsibility and be responsible for the safety of her employees.
Must let Dean see her abilities...
Of course, this is a win no matter what, because T Corporation and W Corporation provide combined Singularity technology. Giving X the ability to [Start again from the beginning this day], when the situation cannot be reversed, Abnormalities escape, when the entire Department employee dies, she will [Start again from the beginning].
Except for the Manager and Secretary AI, no one will remember this failure... perhaps so?
As long as she doesn't have to reach a dead end, to the point where the end cannot be recovered, [Starting again from the beginning of this day] can solve all the problems.
[Manager, do you think the technology of the Corporation is very unimaginable? Please rest assured, this is all for work, for the Corporation Energy Quota, to manage those hateful monsters well, to use these necessary techniques]
"...Angela, I was just wondering if it's possible to Restart, all dead employees will be resurrected, then why could there be so many casualties."
X stared at the button on the table, clicking on the Department to return to the initial start, all the casualties and the monsters escaped, and will restore the original. But even though technology exists, there are still countless casualties.
[Haven't you realized that when an employee is damaged, the value is not enough to compare with the energy... The meaning of the Employee's existence is to serve and harvest energy for the Corporation.]
"Let's get started, Angela... I will study well."
The secretary's expression was very clear, Corporation AI's stance and X itself is the Manager, also the Corporation's stance, understanding employees is only relative, the important thing is still the Energy Quota.
In the screen that shows the Control Department and Safety Department, Abnormalities Subject Number is[F-02-44] is currently located in the Safety Department.
This is an ugly abnormal person, perfectly meeting the 'Monster' standard, even under the Cognition Filter, you can still see how ugly it is, making people nauseous.
It is a quadruped Abnormality covered in brown fur. It has two downward-curled horns with round, magenta flowers sprouting from them; An uncountable number of green eyes; two black hind legs similar to a cricket; and two forelegs with four-toed, red-tipped feet. It also has a black underbelly ly, a stumped tail, two red curved lines on its sides, and a set of mandibles with red lips in between them. Its right foreground is partially black with flecks of color.
Next, I need to take care of this monster.
X unconsciously wanted to rely on the Lobotomy Logo simulation machine, but the simulator did not react at all.
Is that not possible...?
After continuously clicking several times, X vaguely realized what was going on, because the full name of the simulator was [Lobotomy Corporation Simulator —— Best Love Simulator].
The love simulator obviously can't be used for work... Although this is completely incompatible with love.
If I were unilaterally punished by a rebellious AI, or punished by the Department Dean, it could also be considered love...
Indeed, if I are to work, I can only rely on the accompanying Corporation [TT2 Protocol].
X unconsciously glanced at the Secretary, The AI Secretary closed her eyes not knowing what she was thinking. Angela was almost always closing her eyes, but while walking with her eyes closed, she didn't even hit the wall.
Just when X was impolite and wanted to take the employee for a bit of trial and error, the Simulator that had not reacted suddenly started up.
[ System upgrade completed... The simulator has loaded...]
[ Lobotomy Corporation Simulator —— The best all-in-one office work and love Simulator ]
[Unlock new functions: First perspective scene original, Favorability query, Achievement index, Reward accumulation]
There are a few new options on the interface. If you ignore the brain-shaped skull logo and bright yellow cordon, it can look like a love game.
X had no interest in 'Achievement System', but 'First perspective scene original' made her tremble a little. Only 'Favorability query' and 'Reward accumulation' are the only ones that she feels are okay.
The favorability query here has a row of lists, which are AIs she has met. The AI has a portrait image and score bars below, but this function seems useless.
Her loyal and trustworthy Secretary AI Angela's favorite level is [???]. Her warm confidant Control Department Dean Malkuth's favorite level is [???]. That lazy, lethargic addict Dean Netzach's favorite is [???].
All of them are question marks, without any meaning, except for favorite, there is a degree of reliability. Only reliability has obvious manifestations, but this function is also useless.
The AI Secretary's reliability showed up as 3 question marks. In the end, it couldn't be shown. It's still something else...
Meanwhile, Control Department Dean Malkuth showed [Trust Manager], and Safety Department Dean Netzach showed [Disgust]. This clearly shows that the simulator's functions must be normal, this is a normal situation.
Similar to X's expectations, Malkuth had always believed in her abilities, and Netzach did not have any expectations for the Corporation, including the new Manager X.
As for [First perspective scene original]...She can only say that no matter what, she won't try it.
[Simulation has started ——]
[Day2—— Repression ]
[Today you have obtained a new monster located in the newly opened Department. You don't know anything about monsters, but you still need to do some management work on monsters]
[You ordered a new employee to do Attachment work on the monster. The work ended with very poor results, and the employee's mental state was seriously damaged.]
[You ordered a new employee to do Instinct work on the monster. The work ended with very poor results, and the employee's mental state was seriously damaged.]
[You ordered a new employee to conduct Insight work on monsters, and the work ended with very poor results. That employee's mental condition is very poor. Netzach Dean asked you to check the employee's mental state for her. You refused]
[The mentally unstable employee was beaten to death by another Department employee, but work is continuing. After a bit of experimentation, you discovered that performing Repression work on monsters has a very high chance of success]
[After your order from the Safety Department, another employee performed Repression on the monster, the employee fell into the Containment unit]
[You discover that the monster inside the Containment unit is dead, and the Safety Department employee has turned into a new monster]
[Safety Department all employees are dead...]
[ Continue simulation or stop simulation ]
X originally wanted to stop the simulation, but she still wanted to know the results of one mistake after another, and what the outcome would be if she failed to complete the mission.
[ Continue --]
[Even though all the employees of the Safety Department sacrificed their lives, they exchanged precious information for you. You are aware that monsters cannot continuously perform Repression work. While performing Repression work, then perform other tasks that can help monsters restore health]
[You completed the Corporation Energy Quota, and at the end of the job, you received the Safety Department Dean's sarcastic eyes and ridicule. She teases you, you only have fuel in your eyes, a ruthless tyrant]
[You are indifferent to this, but the Control Department that has always trusted you also casts disappointed eyes on you]
[You were educated by Angela after finishing your work. Because of Dean's complaint, Angela punished you...]
[Your mental state is broken...]
[Achieved achievement - What do you still want from me?!]
[Warm reminder: Although Energy Quota is important, there is no need to underestimate Dean's feelings]
[Please choose this time's reward results:
1. Fortitude (+1)
2. Prudence (+1)
3. Temperance (+1)
4. Justice (+1)]
[First-person perspective: Yes/No]
The new function is also displayed above, X is not interested in this matter. But she didn't know why. At this moment, Angela asked her if she needed coffee. X just said "Yes" at this moment.
