NOVEL NEXT Chapter 39: Three sentences
[T-02-43] is located in the Information Department's Containment unit, this Abnormality... To be honest, X can't see clearly, inside this Containment unit is showing a piece of black blur, the camera's vision is limited, guessing that inside the Containment unit a part has been destroyed by Abnormality so there is no light.
The entire Containment unit seems to be built into a lair by [T-02-43], although no specific monsters have been seen, but on the floor there are a lot of baby spiders crawling, maybe... they were created by [T-02-43]?
Fortunately, X also doesn't have any spider fear syndrome, it won't affect her management.
Before focusing on work, X opened [Favorability query] to take a look.
In the trustworthiness column, currently Malkuth is [Trust], Yesod is [Agree], Netzach is [Rely], Hod is [Awe].... Although she doesn't know what [Rely] is referring to, but it should be a good thing.
Being able to get Netzach's trust means that the efforts these past few days were not in vain.
X didn't care what Netzach was thinking, X only cared about whether she could do her job well and complete the task on time.
After dealing with Netzach, the only person left with a problem was Hod... X only hoped that the situation wouldn't be as serious as Netzach...
Today's work will be a bit tiring, under the situation of reducing the use of employees with insufficient stats, she still has to complete the missions assigned by the Deans.
Attachment work is not difficult to do, the difficult thing is to promote employees, if she wants to promote employees with high stats, they must be trained with high difficulty, at least ZAYIN and TETH Abnormalities are definitely not enough, must be from HE Abnormalities and above.
And up to now, the only HE is [ Funeral of the Dead Butterflies ] and it is a crazy guy, if she lets elite employees manage it, it will escape a lot, will attack any Clerks that happen to pass by.
The deaths of Clerks will not be officially recorded in the Corporation's records, Angela also does not think that the deaths of Clerks are worth mentioning, probably only the Deans will "pay attention" to them a little.
X herself is actually relatively indifferent to this matter, not caring about them is also not a problem, but if she wants to be worthy of being a qualified Manager, she must show concern for the employees.
So roughly... is to protect the Corporation's assets to protect the employees, hoping to avoid casualties as much as possible, affecting the performance assessment and grading.
X is very clear that she is an unfair person, Dean is not the same as the employees, it is natural, the treatment is also different, she has the patience to help the Deans, but she absolutely will never do those things to the employees.
Even their names, X would not know, unless they were mentioned by the Deans... Angela taught her things, told her things, X actually always seriously remembered, and also went to verify.
For example, taking back that whatever kindness, and showing those kindness, on the surface expressing 'Kindness', in reality coldly looking at the result.
Employees need a kind of encouragement, but also just need a little encouragement is enough, satisfying their needs is not necessary. In essence, it is just to let employees give birth to this kind of feeling that 'Manager really cares about them'.
...In other words, it is a lie, but in terms of stance, X has no right to say Angela's policy has anything wrong.
That's why, X has to use 'gentle' method to deal with the Deans, Manager needs to be responsible for the Deans, and the communication with the employees is up to the Deans themselves, not the Manager.
Of course, this also does not hinder X from showing a gentle appearance, acting as a super 'Excellent' Manager... Even though when X takes back her smile and pretends to be serious, there is no gentleness at all.
From the surface speaking, X is also not the type that is suitable to play the cute role type, if not opening her mouth to talk, just sitting quietly, cold face, Manager's dignity is very easy to show... Not angry, self-importance.
"Oh, add a little more sugar, Angela."
I don't know why but X felt that she had gradually gotten used to this form when being near the AI Secretary, after getting used to it, it was actually not that bad, Angela was not as scary as she imagined, although she always said she would punish the Manager, she didn't do anything too outrageous.
Sometimes the AI Secretary's kneading made her feel very comfortable, the massage technique was not bad, the force was just right, not too light, not too heavy, very professional.
And every time X thought about massaging, she would unconsciously glance at her own AI Secretary, Angela most of the time was closing her eyes, revealing her slender white fingers, even looking no different from a human.
Not only that, many details are the same as human structure, at least the outside is like human appearance... As for how the internal structure will look like, X doesn't dare to care.
Surely... There won't be someone at the time of designing AI, even the internal structure parts are made to be like the inside of a human? If there really is, then they really have nothing to do, then they can put their energy into these thoughts, clearly these AIs are created only to work...
—— No, what am I thinking?
—— This is just AI——
Even so, X's thinking is still spreading, the more she thinks the more absurd it is, why would they want to design AI into this form to affect the Manager's attention.
X also doesn't know why today he is so easily distracted, suddenly feels Angela is not so bad, still very beautiful... Ah, it's not that she wasn't beautiful before, but feels that today she has exceptional charm.
Uh...
—— This is all a mess, I can't think like that again ——
—— I must do my job well ——
[Simulation has started ——]
[Day 5—— Spiders, so many spiders!]
[You put the new Abnormality [T-02-43] in the Information Department, its Containment unit is pitch black, you can't see this new Abnormality clearly]
[You mobilize employee to do 'Instinct' work on it, employee's work results is extremely excellent, this spider-like Abnormality seems to like people feeding little spiders]
[ You mobilize employee to do 'Insight' work on it, you notice that on the ceiling in the Containment unit there is actually a giant spider with many eyes, the giant spider catches the employee to the spider web, very quickly, that employee is wrapped into a cocoon ]
[ You mobilize employee to do 'Attachment' work on it, the result is still the same, this Abnormality has no great interest in communication, after finishing the work, the employee is still turned into a cocoon ]
[........]
[...]
[ You mobilize employee to do 'Instinct' work on it, the employee's work result is extremely excellent, the energy output is extremely high, this is all thanks to those cocoons, not only that giant spider, they are also producing energy ]
[You very quickly completed today's Energy Quota, finished the work under the doubtful voice of the Deans]
[You were complained by the Deans, Angela punished you...]
[Your mental distortion...]
[You like being punished...]
[You enjoy...]
[...]
[Achieve achievement —— Intentionally like that, there is a pit that must be stepped on ]
[Warm reminder: Please pay attention to your own mental state at all times, self-restraint, restrain your own desires]
[Please choose this time's result reward:
1. Fortitude (+1)
2. Prudence (+1)
3. Temperance (+1)
4. Justice (+1)]
"Pfft... Cough cough"
X was choked, hurriedly wiped the water on the table, while involuntarily moving the chair, calculating to be a little further away from Angela.
This was of course a meaningless move, no matter if it was 5 cm or 10 cm. If she didn't want to be punished, she had to work hard, and not indulge in that absurd thought.
"Hod, let your employees perform multiple Repression work on [Funeral of the Dead Butterflies], let them use E.G.O that has resistance to white damage, once Funeral of the Dead Butterflies shows signs of escaping, immediately tell them to leave the Containment unit, other employees will handle it, after the suppression is finished, continue with [Repression] work."
"Malkuth, today there is no need to focus too much on [ One Sin and Hundreds of Good Deeds ], please mobilize your employees to assist Training Department, [ Funeral of the Dead Butterflies ] Containment unit may have a riot, will need your people to reinforce."
"Netzach, mobilize your employees to guard Training Department, [ Funeral of the Dead Butterflies ] can escape at any time, please support Control Department and Training Department employees to carry out suppression if needed."
"Yesod, let your employees carry out [ Instinct ] work on [ T-02-43 ], pay attention, do not let low [ Prudence ] employees to work on [ T-02-43 ]... If there is any other situation, promptly inform me."
As long as the high [ Fortitude ] employee works on Funeral of the Dead Butterflies, it will immediately escape, but for now, the benefits it brings are greater than the damage, so she can only focus on it.
Although it escapes very often, suppression is also considered easy, as long as the fully equipped employees guard the Containment unit and wait for it to come out, then this butterfly will be knocked back into its Containment unit.
As long as they are fast enough, there will be no great damage, it will not affect the performance, and it is also very suitable for training the employee's [ Justice ].
Pouring resources to focus on cultivating one or two employees, X can do it somewhat.
After feeling that [Repression] work was enough, X had to let the employee proceed to change, to other Abnormalities, train other stats, after all level five employee is not clearly different, [Fortitude][Prudence][Temperance][Justice] these four stats must all reach the standard, then the employee can be promoted to level five.
"Yesod, next let your employee take over the Training Department's job, in charge of managing [Funeral of the Dead Butterflies], conduct [Repression] work on [Funeral of the Dead Butterflies], don't worry about it escaping, other employees will handle it well.
"Rest assured, it can't harm anyone, even Clerks —— Control Department's and Safety Department's employees are all extremely trustworthy."
"Hod, let your employee conduct [Instinct] and [Attachment] work on [T-02-43], continuously taking turns."
X continuously checked the employee work situation, under the satisfactory command never appeared any unexpected, all were within X's expectation, except... Suddenly the warning sound appeared.
That was the Qliphoth Meltdown sound, every time there would be, appearing would make those originally calm Abnormalities would become restless, but this time was different, this time... It wasn't the Abnormalities making a move.
On the screen displayed bright red warning font.
[Crimson Dawn —— Cheers for the Beginning!]
In the hallway of each Department suddenly appeared a little creature, it was a bunch of face revealed evil smile, thin body small humanoid monster, clown dress, wearing red and white stripes clown costume, clown hat, a long tongue mole head outside.
[Let us light a flame yet more radiant in our lives; for life is a candlelight, destined to snuff out one day!]
[Survival, is to satisfy █ Want ]
Accompanied by deafening laughter, the trial began.
