NOVEL NEXT Chapter 26: How happy?
In the Manager room, X stared uneasily at the digital electronic watch that kept beating, the carbon-acid soda in her hand did not open, she simply held it in the palm of her hand.
This kind of rest time in the Manager's room not only did not allow X to calm down, but on the contrary, it constantly increased her feeling of anxiety, the fear of the unknown always tormenting her.
X's fear of AI seemed to be engraved into her body's instincts. Normally it was not clear, but now X had reached the point where she would panic when she saw AI Secretary's face.
X is afraid of punishment... Afraid that those bad things will really be confirmed on her.
In her sight, the Lobotomy logo is still there, it's just that it's not activated today.
There is no way to actively start the simulation, but [ Lobotomy simulator —— The best all-in-one office and love simulator ] other functions can be used during non-simulation periods.
The most important function in the 'Love Simulator' is of course to check favorability, although this kind of favorability is basically useless.
Last time when X opened this ability, there were only Angela, Malkuth, and Netzach, these three AIs on the board. Now there are two more Department Deans, Yesod and Hod.
But still useless....
In the favorability column, without exception, all of them are [???] question marks, only the trustworthiness score appears.
AI Secretary Angela's trustworthiness also shows [???] 3 question marks. X originally wanted to rely on this function to guess Angela's attitude or thoughts but there was no way to do that.
X doubts Secretary, AI should not have such behavior as her. In the Corporation, AI Secretary is almost single-handedly the real boss here.
X is even more skeptical about "Lobotomy Simulator", falling in love at a place like this? Not to mention having to fall in love with a bunch of AIs.
At least X is not interested in this. She was caught and forced to smile and pretend to be kind under such a threat.
Every night, she often looks to herself in the mirror for encouragement, and tries to practice her smile. Although at some moments it was difficult for her to distinguish whether this was really a practicing smile or not, was it not a smile coming from within?
—— How can you laugh out loud at this Corporation ——
—— Just a business smile ——
X wants that, and knows how selfish and cold a person she actually is. She is very patient with Deans because this is a requirement, and cares about employee casualties because this is a job.
She always listens to AI because AI holds power.... she must follow AI to please AI.
In the end, it's all about continuing to live.
And now she really made a mistake, offending AI Secretary. If she said she wasn't worried, then it was definitely a lie.
Or... should she proactively admit her mistake... Who knows, maybe the punishment might be a little lighter...?
X thought so, hesitantly, her hand began to reach the collar of her coat, taking off the white coat she was wearing, but halfway through it, X's movements stopped.
—— If she sold herself like that ——
—— Tried this far, persevered to this extent ——
—— Is it all a waste? ——
What a joke, why do I have to please AI?
Is this reasonable? This is so wild!
Back, she can't just bend down like that.
Knees, she couldn't just kneel down like that.
X scolded herself for being weak, but... She was really afraid of being punished.
She is afraid, if she is afraid, she will have a strong feeling of discomfort, and occasionally there will be an unpleasant reaction...
[Manager, what are you doing?]
The sound of an ordinary nightmare rang in X's ear.
"I... I feel a little uncomfortable."
[ Uncomfortable? Are you at your physiological stage?]
She rubbed X's lower abdomen, her ice-cold hands caressing X slightly. Human body temperature is always much higher than that of machines.
[ I'm very sorry, i can't understand the feeling that is unique to human women... But I know you need to rest now ]
Angela looked like she was exclaiming at first glance, but in reality she was exacerbating it by rubbing X's lower abdomen.
X felt a bit uncontrollable when her belly was rubbed. She also didn't know why AI Secretary would be so interested in doing those meaningless things, █ Rules? Who knows why AI has a desire for these things?
"That... Angela, I'm not on my period yet."
"Uhm...I want to ask, will you be angry with me, Angela? I'm sorry, I accidentally splashed Cocacola on you."
Even though X was proactively admitting her mistake... but after that, she didn't know what to say anymore. Just saying this thing made her tremble.
AI Secretary's originally closed eyes opened. Her yellow eyes looked intently at X sitting on the chair, her clothes were not neat.
X's collar is currently open and the coat is half off, as if it was done on purpose, or perhaps intentionally provoked... The belt around her waist is loose? It seems like someone just needs to pull a little corner of the shirt to be able to see that place...
[So how do you plan to compensate me?]
The seductive whisper rang in X's ear. X was extremely scared after hearing it, feeling the word 'Danger' in her head.
What's wrong with this? There's no way back!?
—— Really carry out compensation ——
—— Refuse compensation ——
[Simulation has begun ——]
[Day 3—— One for ten, huge loss in trading capital ]
[You are extremely unlucky today, no matter what you do, you are dissatisfied with it. It's like you are being cared for by the goddess of bad luck.]
[When you were meeting with Training Department Dean, you just happened to encounter a drug addict employee]
[You had a dispute with Safety Department Dean, you were extremely angry]
[When you were buying water in the hallway, the vending machine happened to break down. You vented your anger on the vending machine.]
[You damaged the company's belongings and were questioned by the AI. While discussing it, you were angry and Cocacola 'accidentally' splashed on the AI's body, insulting the AI]
[You were caught by AI and returned to the Manager's room and were asked to pay compensation. You refused to pay compensation]
[Your refusal angered the AI. You were forced by the AI to demand compensation... After completing the compensation, you lost consciousness]
[When you woke up, you were tied to the bedroom by AI, and you were subjected to a second round of compensation]
[After completing all the compensation later, your spirit is broken...]
[Achieved achievement - Do you really guarantee this compensation?]
[Warm reminder: Having a different meaning or a warm atmosphere can easily cause misunderstandings]
[Please choose this time's reward results:
1. Fortitude (+1)
2. Prudence (+1)
3. Temperance (+1)
4. Justice (+1)]
"That compensation... Just... Did the same thing to me..."
"Ngh... I'll come myself!"
X said guiltily, wanting to avoid AI Secretary's eyes, but she had nowhere to go...
In less than 0.001 seconds of consideration, X, forced to the point of impatience, suddenly violently shook the soft drink in her hand, then opened it.
Carbon-acid soda is like a fireworks display, but this time, Cocacola is poured onto X's body.
Coca-cola was poured on her body, wet and wet, whether it was a white shirt or a black uniform underneath, or revealing white skin, all were contaminated with the sweet liquid.
The air-cooled Cocacola quickly cooled down below and condensed, like adding a layer of reddish brown sugar coating...
"Uhm... That's fair, now we've both been involved, Angela, so this is for you."
X stuffed another bottle of Cocacola into AI Secretary's hand, seemingly serious.
AI Secretary did not speak, just silently opened the bottle of cola, then took a sip. This of course has no taste, for AI this does not have any meaning.
But she still did that, then brought the Cocacola to X's mouth and poured it into her mouth.
[ Don't waste it, Manager ]
Cocacola was slowly poured out.
In fact, most of the cocacola leaked out, from the X side of the mouth, then followed the neck down until it flowed into the collar. The clothes were originally dyed once and now they are contaminated with sugar water once again.
The feeling of being filled with sugar and carbonated drinks stuck to your clothes is not pleasant, it's viscous, and it's a strange experience.
"Angela...? Is the punishment over...?"
X closed her eyes. In the absence of sight, other senses would eventually become exceptionally clear.
When the carbon dioxide turns into carbonic acid, she can feel it on the tip of her tongue, which is like popping bubbles and exploding. Furthermore, when the sweet and greasy taste hits the taste buds, they become numb, there is also slight discomfort when carbonated drinks flow along the skin and stick to clothes...
All that, in the quiet world with closed eyes, is extremely wonderful.
After waiting a few more seconds, after making sure there were no other movements, X dared to open her eyes.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw AI staring intently at her, threatening to make X close her eyes again. It was as if as long as she didn't see it, those bad things wouldn't have happened.
[Manager, do you know how despicable your behavior is?]
AI took X's coat that had been dyed and changed color by Coca-Cola. In the end, she still didn't do anything even more unusual.
Her enthusiasm was completely ruined by X's incomprehensible demeanor. When she acted, no one responded, and her expectations were completely misinterpreted, which was also very meaningless.
The woman in front of her had always been incompetent with such things, always intentionally taking it lightly, pretending not to see, shirking responsibility in this aspect, even the AIs only dared to admire it.
Even though there were a few mistakes, in the end the outcome has never changed, it's still that person...
"Angela, that... I want to take a shower and change into different clothes."
X weakly said that even though she did the stupid thing herself, it still didn't mean that X would always want to maintain this state of being surrounded by sugar.
Even though this kind of thing appears weak, it's still a dead-end tactic...
A stupid way, but at least get rid of some kind of █ rules crisis, unlimited tricks, it's good to be called a despicable trick, but at least there's no need to suffer beyond the punishment limit.
X secretly lucked out and was able to succeed in marrying her, just sacrificing a little insignificant thing to preserve himself, isnt it worth it?
There's no need to be punished by Angela.
AI Secretary has restored her dignified appearance with her eyes closed. Secretary is dressed neatly, her clothes don't have any wrinkles, the gap is obvious compared to X.
[Manager, I'm going to prepare dinner for you. You can come and eat after you shower... Have a good rest, you've been tormented enough.]
Fortunately, the AI Secretary did not continue to embarrass X. Although she was very interesting, the AI also clearly wanted to give the remaining person breathing space and could not squeeze too tightly.
It wasn't until X saw AI Secretary leave that she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took off her coat. The white coat on top stuck to Cocacola, which was a small matter, mainly, the uniform inside is also like being soaked in cola....
This feeling is very difficult to describe. To explain it, it is like an ant being tied to a spoonful of honey, drowning in thick molasses...
Weird and happy at the same time? It's like being drowned by one's own desires.
She felt paranoid... But suddenly there was something called emotional reception.
