The European Emperor’s character remains standing

Chapter 205 Daily life
Even as the sun sets and the sun goes out, Lin Shilu feels no sadness. When there is someone who exists only for you, even the longest night seems to pass in the blink of an eye, because you don't think about how long the night is, but look forward to the arrival of the next dawn.

He suppressed all his worries, never uttering a word, just to make her happy. He accompanied her through every lonely summer day, until she was no longer lonely and alone. He would miss her so much in the dead of night that he would cry. Even though it was only a few short days in reality, he was content and his obsession was fulfilled.

Under the same crescent moon, longing needs no words, for hearts are in perfect harmony; the two separated for many years will meet again sooner or later.

Meanwhile, Xinggui, one of the four who were originally supposed to be involved in the children's adult trials, was working overtime like crazy.

Xuanmeng, the mastermind behind the scenes, was interrupted by Sister Fu after only a couple of laughs, who urged her to work overtime.

The unexpected incidents during these trials were counted as part of her duties, and of course, she was paid for them!

Once Lu Zai and the others graduate, they can seamlessly transition to working at Xuanmeng. Due to this additional accident, the expenses will naturally be borne by the children themselves, with a work tenure of 99 years or more.

You mean training?

Of course.

Actually, the special course after the summer vacation was for Xuanmeng to contact Qixi to develop their potential, and to let them cultivate along the way, so that they could meet the company's recruitment requirements before graduation, and also do an internship.

After graduation, she can seamlessly take over the positions of the elders. While the children work overtime, she and her sisters will travel. Wouldn't that be wonderful? She has already planned where to go.

A wonderful vision is within reach!
In order to leave work early, Xuanmeng hid most of the tasks to be completed and also made plans for retirement travel while working.

Although the world consciousness cannot retire, as long as the employee has outstanding work ability and has enough clones, there is still a chance to take a vacation.

Xuanmeng's plan was that after the children took over the positions of the patriarchs and became familiar with the company's business, she could directly hand over the company to them. Some particularly urgent matters could be handled remotely, and then she could go on a trip with her best friends.

At this moment, the good employee who was sent by Xuanmeng to Xinggui to help "Big Brother" solve his problems was humming a tune and singing a song in the tea room, in an exceptionally good mood.

Su's father hummed off-key lyrics, "Fate and karma are truly wondrous things."

It's a rare treat to slack off in the tea room.

A day ago, upon hearing that the four of them had won the year-end grand prize and could travel to other small worlds, Su's father was practically tearing his handkerchief to shreds.

He really wanted a vacation, but...

As a skilled worker dispatched by Xuanmeng, there's no way he can take a break. He works like a beast of burden in Xinggui, tirelessly day and night.

I was overjoyed to see the four of them return to work.

"Don't be upset. We work together, and I'll treat you to dinner after get off work. Honestly, with you guys sharing my huge workload, I feel so relaxed."

The last sentence was particularly poignant. Without them, it was like losing a right arm or two. Before, they worked overtime 24 hours a day, eating and sleeping in Xinggui. Now, with them, it's like adding wings to a tiger, and they can even find time to call home.

“My dearest wife, I’ll be back from my business trip in a month. My colleagues have all suddenly come back to work overtime, so my workload has been much lighter. If there’s anything you want me to bring back, make a list and I’ll get it for you. Sister Fu brought us a lot of things when she went on her last business trip, so I want to give back to her. If your best friends need anything, I can help them bring it back.”

Su Su, who received the call, was completely stunned. She hung up the phone immediately after speaking, saying, "Just bring yourself back." The implication was that it wasn't necessary for the time being.

Not long ago, they discovered a huge to-do list that Xuanmeng had hidden in the office. They were so busy that it was difficult to even eat a meal, not to mention that it was during the summer event and they had to manually check submitted game bugs.

Don't ask, the answer is that the main system is on the verge of collapse and is overworked.

The main system was originally "retreating" (enjoying a leisurely vacation, leaving only its clones for intelligent processing), but it was so busy that it was eventually forced to pull the system out of the woodwork.

When the phone rang again, Su Su, out of consideration for her husband, answered it amidst her busy schedule, saying, "Don't call anymore, I'm working overtime." She then hung up.

On the other end, Su's father sensed the numbness in his wife's tone, and his survival instinct took over, so he stopped interfering.

A few days later, the food competition in the game came to a successful end, and An'an and her friends were discharged from the hospital after recovering from their illnesses. They also brought gifts for their best friends.

At that time, Ling Xia logged off.

Of all the souvenirs that Lu Zai and Ling Xia collected during their travels in the game, only one remains; the other can only return after certain conditions are unlocked.

Their original excuse was that they were preparing a gift for the fawn, so if they didn't prepare the gift, there was a 90% chance they would be exposed.

Strangely enough, the group, who were supposed to be discharged two days ago, ended up having to undergo gastric lavage and IV drips again after indulging in a mushroom hot pot made by a fellow patient.

Be careful, do not eat mushrooms of unknown origin!
What? You're saying that if you cultivate immortality, you can still eat mushrooms and get poisoning, but you can't force it out?

That's certainly possible, but you don't even consider what you're eating.

A patient suffering from fungal poisoning dug up mushrooms and medicinal herbs at the hospital and ate them as a hot pot. The herbs were specially cultivated and were washed and eaten directly without any processing. They were only dipped in the hot pot for two or three seconds. It can only be said that he was very lucky to survive. Fortunately, he was rescued in time at the hospital.

Otherwise, it wouldn't just be a matter of staying for a few days; it seems like it would be more than a month, by which time summer vacation would be over. Lin Shilu knew nothing about this and tried to inquire about it several times, but was turned away each time, told that there had been a problem with the gift, so she would need to extend her stay for a few more days before she could return.

Two flowers bloom, each representing a different branch.
The teachers of each department received messages from their dearest students. Some teachers even video chatted with their students. When they saw their proud students who had been hospitalized during the summer vacation and learned why they had delayed submitting their assignments, they all fell silent.

He simply said, "There's a simulation lab on the StarNet. Remember to log in with your ID to complete the simulation and click submit. Although the holographic world is more convenient, you still can't log in that way... Just click the link I sent you and complete this assignment using your keyboard."

"Remember next time, don't eat mushrooms from unknown sources." They're already in the food poisoning ward; do you really think it's safe to eat mushrooms they picked themselves? Are you sure you're not hallucinating...?

"You can pay it when you're better... Remember to take the test when school starts."

As for the heads of the household, they were just about to finish work and go home, imagining whether they would take a bath or have a meal when they got home. But a second before they were about to leave work, they suddenly discovered the unfinished tasks that Xuanmeng had hidden in the office, and were thus forced to work overtime for a week.

A few minutes ago, the elders were furious when they discovered these extra tasks.

A second before they entered the office, Xuanmeng hid the travel itinerary she had made while slacking off. When questioned, she was speechless and felt guilty. Xuanmeng dealt with the work that had been discovered with a gloomy face, not daring to complain at all, since she was in the wrong first.

Just thinking about the four people who were forced to work overtime for at least half a year because of her made me feel happy, and facing the huge pile of work documents in front of me didn't seem so unbearable anymore.

Thinking this, I almost couldn't hold back my smile.

The few people who were sitting in the office supervising her work had sharp eyes; they immediately stared intently at the source of any slight noise.

Xuanmeng remained expressionless, working intently, looking like she loved her job.

"These are reports from secret realms within my jurisdiction. My clones are saying that the natural treasures inside have been almost completely depleted, and they are requesting that the realms be closed for several decades, then planted with greenery and managed, and that a scenic area be developed as well."

"Please send someone to conduct an on-site investigation of those secret realms. If they've really been exploited to the point of exhaustion and can't be saved, then just develop them directly. I remember there are a few places that don't have space to raise animals. We can contact them; the mazes and mechanisms are still there, only the treasures are gone. We could work together to develop a secret realm adventure zoo. If that doesn't work, we can just make it a regular zoo for sightseeing, with lower ticket prices."

"If all else fails, we can switch to a plantation, grow some fruits and vegetables and raise some livestock. That will improve the taste. These are all perks for working overtime."

Su Su suggested, "I suggest that my partner, who is in Xinggui, go and investigate, so he won't be too idle."

"Su Su?" Xuan Meng pondered for a moment, "Okay, if these secret realms really can't be developed, then give them to my older brother and let Xing Gui handle and recycle them."

"Then I'll leave it to you to take charge."

"And these few more, you should all take note. Recently, some evil cultivators have been rampant in creating pirated systems and using these pirated systems to absorb the destiny of the chosen ones selected by the world's consciousness to enhance themselves."

"Contact people in other worlds and post notices on bulletin boards. Destroy them immediately upon encountering them. As for the bonus and reward, we, Xinggui, and Mengdi will cover the majority, as well as the consciousness of several other worlds. Other miscellaneous expenses will be paid by the Loose Cultivator Alliance and several other forces."

The bulletin board that Xuanmeng mentioned refers to the task boards erected in various worlds. Independent cultivators can accept tasks through the bulletin board to earn commissions and cultivation resources. They can accept tasks that are equivalent to their level, either in a team or independently, or they can accept tasks that are beyond their level.

This includes, but is not limited to, major cultivation forums, cultivation alliance headquarters, and headquarters of major sects; it is universal. Once the highest bounty is issued, it will sweep across major cultivation applications, forums, and bulletin boards.

Those related to world consciousness are mostly top-tier bounties. Regardless of the difficulty of the mission, the rewards are absolutely generous. Therefore, the most popular mission types are those related to world consciousness, or those jointly launched by several major forces.

"it is good!"

"Is the compensation method still the same as before?"

"Yes, once a task is completed, the money will be directly deposited into their personal account via the app. If they want to exchange points for cultivation resources, they can do so directly."

"Anyone confirmed to be using a pirated system, or a non-pirated system that steals luck or even harms the world's destined chosen one, is included. If there is a confirmed person, put them on the wanted list. Once caught, follow the usual procedures: exchange for money, exchange for points, or exchange for merit. I will calculate it directly here and process it according to the world they belong to. If you need resources, just mail them to me."

"This document related to the Chosen One, along with the pirated system, was sent by Dream Palace. I'll send them a copy of the plan later, and then contact Star Orbit for a three-way notification."

"Not only the Dream Residence, but also the uninhabited area on the edge of the Star Trail World, remember to send more people to patrol, and also hire some rogue cultivators."

In Xuanmeng, rogue cultivators are really useful, especially some rogue cultivators with exceptionally high cultivation levels.

Later stages of cultivation require not only spiritual energy but also merit from the world. These merits often require certification from the world's consciousness. Having merits can reduce the chances of being struck by lightning when undergoing heavenly tribulations, and it is considered a panacea.

Independent cultivators have no sect or master, and rely entirely on their own hard work. When faced with a boss who pays generously and is willing to pay, they naturally complete their tasks quickly and well.

In addition to regular employees, Xuanmeng also hires some independent cultivators to work here on an irregular basis during busy periods.

Once the independent cultivators heard that there was an opportunity to come to the Mysterious Dream Realm or to make contact with the world's consciousness, they were just like the aquatic creatures hearing that a large number of fishermen from the air force were coming here to fish (distributing disaster relief food, without middlemen), and they were all very enthusiastic.

Su's father's name is Su Su. He originally wanted Su Su Su, but it wasn't as interesting as two Su's, since both of their names are the same.

I'm thinking of a name, but I can't think of a name for the later plot, so I'll just call it "Kaven". I originally wanted to divide it into episodes, but that would be too fragmented.
