Lobotomy Corporation but with Simulation System?

Chapter 20: Healthy and tasty, clean and hygienic



Bread, lettuce, eggs, meat, a simple meal is like that. Even though the working day is not over yet, at least employees will be given a certain amount of lunch break. After all, the Manager is not a machine, so she still needs to rest.

"Uh, the ham sandwich is the best-tasting ham!"

X enjoyed her lunch while the AI secretary at her side looked at her. Angela had her eyes closed, yet X always felt as though her body was being watched closely.

Maybe she suddenly became sensitive, at least X had never felt this way before. Now she suddenly felt like she was being stared at, clearly, Angela didn't open her eyes!

X would occasionally steal glances at Angela, but the AI Secretary always remained motionless, like a real background...

It also made the meal feel strange though it was delicious.

Very young chicken eggs and thin slices of ham are rubbed with egg yolk sauce, and sandwiched between soft white bread, and crispy lettuce, which brings a new layer of special feeling. Light and refreshing, ham bang bang is always one of the most welcomed lunches by employees, convenient and delicious.

The ten pieces of environmental protection paper wrapped in paper contained two types of ham bang bang flavors, one was ham flavor, and the other was mustard flavor added by X herself.

This time it wasn't Angela who intentionally teased X, but X that I wanted to try, then nothing unexpected happened, the first bite was choked with mustard.

"Cough cough... Water, Angela, quickly give me water!"

Next, a glass of ice water was brought to X's hand, but because of the mustard's stimulating taste, X quickly swallowed it with water and then ate a sandwich in two or three bites.

[Despite hating the taste of mustard, why do you keep trying it, Manager?]

"Because I've never eaten ham with this taste, I've never had it before and I want to... Sure enough, the mustard is still too strong the taste is still very good. "

First strange, then familiar, this time the effect mustard gave X was much lower than the previous time, X even felt like returning to this kind of taste.

[Will trying a new flavor make you happy? What does mustard taste like...?]

"This kind of sermon sounds strange, but delicious food is a great enjoyment, Angela."

"Flavor is very difficult to imagine, each individual's taste is also different. However, mustard has always been very special, that intensely stimulating feeling is considered prominent among many condiments."

"Well... Eating is very uplifting, more effective than coffee."

X replied as she casually continued chatting about the feelings of food.

When Angela brought up this topic for the question, X felt a little displeased because the Corporation's AI could even be affected by addictive drugs. A certain Dean was still immersed in alcohol, making it even stranger for Angela to not be able to taste anything.

The AI designer must be crazy, why would someone create an AI that can drink beer, and has all kinds of drink tastes, even if the AI knows how to smoke, she wouldn't be surprised.

These functions are not impossible for AI to master, but from X's understanding of Lobotomy Corporation, she feels dissatisfied.

This Energy Corporation is exceptionally focused on efficiency to satisfy the energy needs of huge cities. Always working overtime beyond the work limit, machines have always been famous for their efficiency, so why do they have the ability to entertain and enjoy?

Many City people give up their youthful bodies in exchange for a prosthetic body. It's also because compared to the weak flesh and blood body, the iron body is more able to adapt to that type of repetitive work, and is better able to endure this type of oppressive environment.

Or, it's just that Deans is not pure AI... Loaded with expensive prosthetics that can taste the taste.

But Angela...

—— Can't remember anymore, forget, forget!

X suddenly felt a very scary thought in her head, seeing Lobotomy Corp's terrifying secret, the content was so clear, and knowing it was not a good thing. At more times, knowledge, if not handled properly, will transform into life-threatening poison, causing her to step into the abyss.

X decided to stop thinking too much about this topic. The more she talked, the easier it was to touch the AI Secretary's eyebrows, or else she would absentmindedly step on the Corporation's red wire.

Although Secretary AI's expression was still the same as before, nothing had changed, but X could feel that the atmosphere was not right.

Although she is quite dull in terms of emotions, even in front of her, she can pretend not to see and hide. But that doesn't mean she has some kind of fearless spirit and would dare to provoke the secretary AI who is in an unhappy mood.

That's right, X felt that Angela was a little unhappy. Although there was no real evidence of this, the AI Secretary's management expression was also very correct. But this is X's feeling. This is probably the intuition she gained from the simulation of those difficult-to-count punishments.

In case the AI Secretary doesn't continue acting, what should I do? This kind of possibility, X doesn't dare to think too much about it, it's too wild.

In this type of situation, the best solution is to work and work overtime! Then overtime again! Disguise the appearance of working hard, harvesting as much energy as possible, creating more value for the Corporation.

She doesn't know if the AI Secretary is happy or not, but the Corporation will be satisfied. The energy meets the standards, and exceeds the completion level, what is the use of more energy? X does not dare to ask, nor dare to say.

Today's work was also considered to be going well, except for the people who died in the simulation. When working, these problems did not appear after that.

[ One Sin and Hundreds of Good Deeds ] can be used to train all employees' abilities, although the effect may not be outstanding, but the victory is in safety and stability. Even a new employee can complete the task very well. After completing Attachment work many times, he can try other work, so it is a very safe and intimate Abnormality.

[Beauty and the Beast] is suitable for Repression work, and can be used to train employees [Justice] which is a basic attribute. The effect is very good, I just need to pay attention to the employees taking turns to work, and there will be no accidents.

Even though as Dean Netzach she could care less about her work, the Safety Department employee was still very obedient to her commander. After all, the Safety Department is a research department that conducts forecasts and combat regulations for potential incidents, and for Corporations containing dangerous entities, security is a big issue.

Listening to commanders and obeying orders, is the number one rule for employees, in the absence of unexpected situations. If an employee's mental state is stable, as long as Dean conveys the request, their ability to comply will still be quite satisfactory.

But if you consider it as a random occurrence, that kind of mental state is very poor for employees. X has the [Pause] button, which can also make up for Deans' shortage. She can promptly issue orders directly to employees to handle sudden problems.

[Fairy Festival] is also a type of 'Safe' abnormality. It is extremely quiet as it does not make any breakthroughs and is exceptionally intimate with the employees. It can stabilize the employees' mental state and treat their wounds.

Although the purpose of doing so is to keep the cooking ingredients fresh, at least it's effective, which is good, right? Just be careful, don't let the employee run away, and let the little fairies feel that the food will be contaminated by other Abnormalities, in most situations, the employee is safe.

Work can't be rushed now, so she still needs to have the energy to pay attention to employee movements... Little fairy's habit will add a little chaos to the Manager's work.

Even the intelligence sent by the Information Department believes that [Fairy Festival] is purely carnivorous and loves new foods. They are eager to choose good food and treat it as food storage, seriously protecting it. This is also the reason why they use special abilities to treat employees.

Once the employee shows the intention of going to another Abnormalities Containment unit, the Fairy Festival will soon begin to enjoy the food... The result was tested with Clerks after working on [Instinct].

The little fairy likes to eat soft, fresh parts, such as smooth faces and eyes, or soft and full belly fat.

Those employees probably don't want to know what kind of food they use to feed them when they do [Instinct] work...?

At least X as a Manager doesn't want to know, this would only affect her taste. But this is all the intelligence report that the information department has spent a lot of effort on making, due to which X cannot do anything to disappoint the employees and the Deans.

Treating each piece of information seriously is the greatest respect for the Information Department. Even if the content may be a little malicious or cruel, this is also necessary.

Only by deeply understanding Abnormalities and observing at a high level can we then extract the corresponding weapons and equipment from the core of Abnormalities. These magical E.G.O weapons can be equipped by employees and can exert unimaginable power.

Use E.G.O. to deal with those bad-tempered Abnormalities.

Even though Abnormalities don't like to move these past few days, they like to stay in the Containment unit. But in the future, she will encounter some troubles and difficulties to deal with, she must do her best to suppress the plans early and avoid disaster in advance.

After working overtime, the respective Department employees had all received [Gifts] from the Abnormalities they managed, so X announced to everyone that work for the day was concluded.

[Hard work, Manager, you have completed your work extremely well, far exceeding the Corporation Energy Quota.]

[ Do you want to relax a little?]

Angela's tone was a little gentler, with a hint of warmth in her words, but X wasn't interested in this, because her thoughts were on work.

Even though she knew Angela wanted to massage and relax her muscles, there were more important things to be busy with right now... What's more, if Netzach were to rush in right now, how easy it would be for people to misunderstand?

You absolutely cannot underestimate the level of trivia within the Corporation and the speed with which those rumors spread. Employee gossip topics are not something Managers can control, but like Netzach, people like to hold back their beer and like to find some interesting things.

Other than the damn job outside, things are also interesting... So the result is also conceivable.

"This is done, Angela... Can I bother you to go out later? Netzach also came here quickly. I want to talk to Netzach alone. Her state is a bit worrying."

"Maybe you're right, Angela, a beer vending machine just makes her fall over and over again... But it can't be that broken, right? Can things also change for the better?

X was talking to her own AI Secretary, but it seemed like she was muttering to herself. Compared to convincing the AI Secretary, expressing a point of view, this is more like persuading herself, persuading herself not to give up on Netzach.

Angela's attitude toward Netzach was to abandon freedom, no matter what she did, she didn't want to pay attention to it. But X couldn't, she couldn't ignore this situation, watching Netzach sink into the depraved illusion of Enkephalin's composition.

It's not like she wanted to forcibly shape anything, X was just hoping that Netzach's eyes might show a bit of light, coming from the light of hope. Even though it's bad here, everything will get better, right?

There is nothing wrong with prolonging the dying breath, but in exchange for an easy-to-listen sermon, this is called 'Surviving Courage', even if life is very bad. Time will have to pass by, not to mention there is no 'Resignation' option here.

Corporation AI's psychological problems are so serious that they even need a professional manager to advise them, which is strange.

At times, X was also thinking about whether or not this was her infatuation and useless behavior for her satisfaction.

After all, if the Corporation didn't need this kind of AI, it would have exchanged Netzach long ago, and even Corporation Manager Angela wouldn't have paid too much attention to Netzach. Why did she, as a Manager, want to put more energy into Dean?

Again, hypothetically, does Netzach need someone else to advise her and save her? Is X overestimating her abilities, being too conceited, imposing her ideas on others, and trying to make others become like herself?

This is not kindness, it is arrogance.

But X still decided to do so, Netzach's actions had already been tacitly approved by Secretary AI and other Department Dean. Is this a fixed program, or was it done on purpose?

If it was really like that, Netzach's empty and depraved imitation of humanity would not make X feel uncomfortable from the inside.

Whether it's Angela or the Department Dean, they're not perfect or they're not busy, they have good sides and bad sides. It cannot even be simply defined as good or evil. Compared to AI, compared to machines, it is more like a lively person.

Isn't it really stupid to treat humanity seriously? Even though Corporation isn't here to make friends, does Dean not need friends?

"Manager... Did you call me here to expect me to lecture you and praise you for a job well done?"

"Well, for two days in a row, no one died or went crazy, not bad... How do you have this kind of ability? Because you've done this job before?

Netzach put her head in, she was still the same, her hands were in her pockets, but this time her steps were much calmer, and she didn't drink alcohol.
