This is urban literary cultivation

Chapter 235 Unemployment Crime?! Forced into Labor Camp, now a male model. (Please vote!)

"Are you really the captain of the urban management brigade in Facai City?"

"Didn't you already see the certificate?"

"Then you don't know about [City Foundation]?"

The captain of the urban management brigade in Facai City was aroused by Xi Yu's question.

"Hehehe! How would I know what you mean by 'City Foundation,' 'grades,' or anything else?"

As he spoke, the captain of the urban management brigade of the city turned his head, just about to ask the card players behind him to judge whether they had ever heard of anything about "Chengji" or fried chicken in all their years of work.

But, turning his head
"You guys were cheating!"

As he spoke, the captain of the urban management brigade of the city rushed forward and shouted:
"Don't even move!"

"I knew I'd been losing money lately! If you guys keep going like this, even the gambling king would have to drop his underwear here!"

"Luckily, I had the card counter on this time. Whoever steals the cards has to pay up!"

Then, Xi Yu watched as the man who claimed to be the captain of the urban management brigade of Facai City returned to the card table and simply left them at the door of the security room.

Xi Yu: ? ? ?
Is this reasonable?

Xi Yu looked at Lin Hao, then at the devout Buddhist disciple, her face blank with confusion.

Lin Hao also felt something was strange. This man who claimed to be the captain of the urban management brigade did not have any extraordinary power at all. How could he become the captain of the urban management brigade?
Not only was the captain of the urban management brigade an ordinary person, but the other three people playing cards were also ordinary people.

After Lin Hao's divine sense and the tribulation clouds merged seamlessly, Lin Hao believed that there were people stronger than him, but he did not believe that there were four people, especially four people, who could disguise themselves as ordinary people in front of him.

Moreover, when Lin Hao released his divine sense, he discovered that the entire office area of ​​the urban management brigade...
Empty! Nothing! One! Person!

how come?
What's even stranger is that there isn't a single cockroach in this building!
It should be noted that the terrifying killing intent that Lin Hao exudes in his battles is accumulated through killing cockroaches, rats, mosquitoes, and the like.

When Lin Hao spreads his divine sense, he occasionally kills cockroaches and the like. Lin Hao never hesitates to do things that accumulate strength in a costless way.

Based on his current experience with killing intent, cockroaches can appear anywhere!

The question of cockroaches in a place is not whether they exist or not, but how many there are.

However, throughout the entire office building of the urban management brigade, whether it was the office with opened potato chips, the corridor with bottled water, or even the sewers of the urban management brigade office building, there were only stains, but no cockroaches.

Not to mention rats, moth flies, and live maggots.
This place looks bustling with people, but it lacks any vitality.

Lin Hao tugged at Xi Yu, who was about to step forward again to speak with the captain of the urban management brigade in Facai City, and whispered:

"Something seems off about this place. Let's leave."

The devout Buddhist disciple, who had remained silent the entire way, also looked at Xi Yu with a solemn expression and said seriously:

"I've also noticed the wealthy monks; I can no longer feel the Buddha's favor towards them!"

Xi Yu looked at Lin Hao, then at the devout Buddhist disciple, wondering why she herself felt nothing.
Is it just because he's a martial artist? He's just a crude brute.

That won't work.

Xi Yu nodded seriously, her expression indicating that she had sensed something unusual.

Just as the three decided to leave, the captain of the urban management brigade of the city, who had just been memorizing and confirming the cards, looked at the three card players with a distressed expression.

Captain of the Urban Management Brigade of Facai City: "I'm so sad that you have to go to work."

Card player A: "Pretentious!"

Card player B: "Pretending!"

Card player C: "They're right!"

After saying that, the three of them casually took out a card from their hand and stuck it between their eyebrows.

Xi Yu really felt it now:
"Damn it, it's a dungeon!"

However, the instance opened too suddenly, and there was no time to log out!

A devout Buddhist closes his eyes and chants:
"Amitabha!"

Lin Hao originally intended to leave with both of them, but the log in front of him made him want to go inside and see what was going on.

Instance worlds are the primary way for containment agents in this world to obtain containment items!
Lin Hao, the young master of the Remnant Core stage, discovers a secret realm where a Nascent Soul stage ancestor has passed away.

[There might be an opportunity inside to shatter the core and form a nascent soul.]

After the city management brigade's entrance was deserted, the brigade captain looked at the empty card table and bent down to pick up the three cards that had fallen to the ground, one by one.
After tidying up the cards on the table, he closed the door to the security room and leaned back.

It was as if I had fallen into the water and was immersed in another world.

Inside the security room, a man reappeared who looked exactly like the captain of the urban management brigade in Valcai City, but their demeanor was completely different.

The man appeared and waved his hand.

If Lin Hao were still on the scene, his divine sense would have shown that the entire office area of ​​the urban management brigade had become bustling with activity.

Someone ate the potato chips that had been opened.
People were smoking and chatting in the hallway.
Someone was watching videos inside the restroom.
The cockroaches are laying eggs, continuing their endless cycle of life.

Eyes closed and opened.

The scene before Lin Hao changed in an instant, and he immediately released his divine sense.

nothingness.

nothingness!

It's all nothing!

I can't feel anything.

But right now, Lin Hao could clearly see a computer screen, and on the screen was his own image, with dark circles under his eyes and looking haggard.

There was a clear distortion in the perception of both the naked eye and the mind.

Lin Hao: So, what kind of illusion is this?

At the same time, the abacus beads that had entered Lin Hao's sea of ​​consciousness after sensing the "demonic energy" upon entering the Valve City trembled slightly, as if they had sensed the presence of the original body.

However, for some reason, it was unable to guide Lin Hao to the location of the original body.

So, is this seemingly illusory dungeon world related to the "Northern God of Wealth's Abacus"?
Currently, Lin Hao has not sensed any danger, so let's see what the situation is like in this instance first.

According to the books and exploration materials that Lin Hao borrowed from the Urban Management Brigade of Kechen City, each instance world has its own operating logic.

Those who enter this instance world will receive some instance tasks. Completing these tasks will earn them some instance rewards. The most important reward is the opportunity to leave the instance world at any time.

Having gained this opportunity, explorers entering the instance world can then search carefully to find something to take away and make into their own containment objects outside.
Some people choose to use the rewards they receive after completing a dungeon quest as containment items, some choose to pick a flower from the green areas of the dungeon world as containment items, and some choose to pick an expensive item from the museum inside the dungeon world and take it with them.
In any case, you can only take one item out of the dungeon world. Only after taking it out will you know what use it is.

To date, no individual or organization has been able to figure out the extraordinary effects that can be obtained by bringing items out of the instance world.

It's like someone brought a wedding dress out of a dungeon world.

Based on the function of a wedding dress, and according to normal human thinking, the extraordinary power it is endowed with should be of the emotional resonance type, such as purifying resentment or awakening old vows.
Perhaps it's a defensive or protective type, such as a sacred barrier safeguarding the purity and innocence of the soul.
At worst, it's a pseudo-time-space type, restoring oneself to the best and happiest state.
Or it could be a life type that allows them to share life force with their spouse.
However, after this wedding dress was brought out, the extraordinary power gained by the contained individuals was—

They don't scare people when they're robbing money.

The codename became "Wedding Dress Bandit." A side effect of using this containment item was the uncontrollable shouting of "bride price! bride price! bride price!"...

Just as Lin Hao was recalling the information he knew about the dungeon world, a blue light screen appeared before his eyes—

"Workplace promotion task: Tonight, accompany your direct supervisor for drinks to discuss business and make your direct supervisor happy."

Task reward: Upon successful completion of the probationary period, monthly salary will increase by 100.

After the light screen disappeared, a heavily made-up woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties approached Lin Hao and gave him instructions:

"Xiao Lin, come with me to meet a client now. If you entertain the client well, I'll arrange for you to be promoted and get a raise."

After saying that, he walked away on his own.

But after walking a few steps, the female leader realized that Lin Hao hadn't kept up, so she turned around and frowned, saying:

"Why are you standing there? Let's go."

Lin Hao stood up, took off his employee badge, and threw it on the table.

"I resigned."

The female leader looked at Lin Hao with disbelief and asked:
"You quit your job so you wouldn't have to drink?"

Lin Hao nodded: "Yes, I choose to resign."

The female leader's gaze toward Lin Hao was no longer arrogant and indifferent, but rather showed some respect.

The admiring gaze made Lin Hao feel uneasy.

When a subordinate goes against the leader's wishes and chooses to resign, shouldn't the leader be furious?
"You really chose to resign because you don't drink?" the female boss asked again, still with admiration in her eyes.

"Confirmed, goodbye." Although Lin Hao sensed something was off, he still confirmed.

Lin Hao wanted to see what this instance world was really like.

"Okay, then I'll settle your salary today."

This leader is not bad.

The female leader quickly arranged for personnel to calculate Lin Hao's salary.

"You're still on probation this month, and your total salary is 2800. Are you really, really, really sure you want to take 2800 and quit?" The female manager asked Lin Hao again as she handed him the money.

The accountant, who had just finished counting the money, looked at Lin Hao with admiration.

Now, Lin Hao really felt something was wrong, but since he had already said it and didn't feel any danger, there was no reason for him to go back on his word.

If anything is amiss, Lin Hao is confident that his current physical strength and magical power are sufficient to handle most crises.

As Lin Hao took the money and prepared to leave the company...

The security guard at the gate pulled out a gun and pointed it at Lin Hao:

"You have committed the crime of unemployment, and now you need to be sent to the yamen."

Lin Hao looked at the security guard with disbelief.

What the hell?

"What are you looking at? You've committed the crime of unemployment! You're unemployed now, come with me to the yamen!"

The female leader—no, the former female leader—who walked out of the company left with a look of utter helplessness on her face towards Lin Hao.

Lin Hao was left standing there facing the security guard.

Facing the dark muzzle of a gun, Lin Hao remained calm, but felt it was utterly absurd.

Is unemployment a crime in this world?

Lin Hao decided to refrain from acting rashly and instead try to understand what kind of world this was.

He decided to go to the government office with the security guard.

"Uncle Security Guard, I'm not going to run away. You don't need to point a gun at me. I just want to ask, why would being unemployed lead to a crime?" Lin Hao asked curiously as he left the office building with the security guard.

"Unemployment is a crime! If you don't work and don't create value for the city, what is that if not a crime?" the security guard said matter-of-factly.

Moreover, the security guard seemed somewhat indignant when he said this:
“People like you who don’t cherish their jobs should be shot! But you’re lucky to be in this situation. Although the maximum penalty for unemployment is still death, there is an option of labor reform that can result in a suspended death sentence.”

Well.
"Uncle Security Guard, if unemployment is punishable by death, what else do you think deserves the death penalty?" Lin Hao asked tentatively.

"There are so many! Not getting married is a death sentence, not having children is a death sentence, owning a pet is a death sentence, staying up all night watching dramas is a death sentence!" The security guard uncle holding the gun was given a lot to say by Lin Hao and then launched into a long tirade.

After listening for a while, Lin Hao understood that the security guard felt that anyone who did not create value for society should be sentenced to death in order to conserve social resources.

"You young people today really don't know how to cherish job opportunities, and you don't know how to work hard. You must have been bewitched by 'poetry and distant places' and 'hedonism'."
But you only resigned, not took sick leave or anything like that. The law still protects the lives of young people like you, and you still have a chance to turn back.

Along the way, the security guard kept telling Lin Hao about the importance of work. Only by working hard could he find a partner through matchmaking. After getting married, both families could pool their money to buy a house. Only after buying a house could they have the opportunity to have children. And after having children...
One thing leads to another: the security guard described to Lin Hao how to live without the death penalty.

"Only by creating value for society in a down-to-earth manner can you afford to buy a 50-year property right for a burial plot when you are about to die. Of course, if you have more money saved up, you can buy a 70-year property right, but I personally think that a 70-year property right for a burial plot is unnecessary."

"With this spare money, it's better to leave more for your children."

Under the security guard's constant nagging, Lin Hao was taken to what the security guard called the "government office"—

Social Conflict Governance Center.

"I noticed you didn't argue much along the way, and you seemed to be obedient. This was just an occasional mistake, so it can be forgiven."

Go for it. "

As he spoke, the security guard put away his gun and pushed Lin Hao into the social conflict resolution center.

"drop."

After entering the Social Conflict Governance Center, Lin Hao was guided by a specialist to a machine.

Once Lin Hao's face was recognized, the machine's screen lit up, and text began to appear:

Suspect: Lin Hao.

Sex: Male.

Facts of the crime: The suspect, having received no new job offer, voluntarily resigned because he did not want to drink with his superiors to discuss business. This act seriously disrupted public order and damaged the creation of social value. He is now convicted of unemployment. However, due to his good attitude in admitting guilt, not spreading hedonistic ideas to society, and not causing a serious negative social impact, he is sentenced as follows:
Labor reform!

Is this machine judging me?
When Lin Hao took out a "criminal judgment" from the machine's output slot, he confirmed that it really was an automated trial machine.

After Lin Hao received his criminal judgment, staff members led him to collect his labor reform clothes.

When Lin Hao saw the deep V-neck suit jacket that reached his abdomen and the slim-fit trousers in front of him, he looked at the staff:
"No, did you pick up the wrong clothes?"

The staff member looked at Lin Hao's judgment, then at the information they had registered, and said it was correct. But seeing Lin Hao's puzzled look, the staff member decided to explain:
"Because you committed the crime because you didn't want to drink with people, you now need to overcome the difficulties. Therefore, your work arrangement for labor reform is to be a male model, specifically to accompany people for drinks."

When faced with difficulties, don't run away, overcome them!

After your labor reform is completed, you will no longer despise serving drinks and commit crimes; you will become a useful member of society!
