The European Emperor’s character remains standing

Chapter 212 The Boss Who Slacks Off, the Employees on Holiday
After seeing the irrefutable evidence of Siyuan's previous surfing companions, the group was forced to accept Zhe'er's invitation to participate in a surfing competition with her.

What? You're saying skiing isn't surfing?

Perhaps we didn't explain clearly. The first half of the race is surfing on the sea, while the second half involves freezing the sea into ice and includes a snow mountain map. It features ocean, ice, land, and snow-capped mountains—everything you could want. Besides individual and team races, there are also relay events. After all, with only a food competition and this recreational activity during the entire summer, it has to be a grand affair.

Actually, in order to be lazy and slack off, the official team only prepared these two options and designed the summer surfing module as a challenge relay mode.

"Of course I know players will complain that the event is too long, like a tangled mess, but there are only two summer events, and if it's not long, my vacation plans will be ruined." Xuanmeng explained innocently to Susu.

"This saves time and only requires management from the main system. At worst, we can just add more blind boxes as event rewards. A small amount of rare materials plus a large amount of regular dropable items will definitely not affect the abundance of items in the game. By the way, we can also secretly weaken the deer cub's talent a bit, otherwise it will affect the game balance. If you ask, we can just say that we have fixed some known bugs after the game update."

"The boss is inhuman," was Su Su's first thought after hearing this.

"If Sister Ci finds out, I won't admit it, even if she tells me I know."

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems." Xuanmeng said with mysterious confidence, "The deer cub's talent is so strong, it has to be nerfed, otherwise it will affect the gaming experience of other players."

"Besides, I'm doing this for everyone's benefit. Once the second summer event in another world starts, I'll give everyone a break so you can enjoy a wonderful vacation. The work will be handled by the main system and Xiao Cang, which will be more than enough for daily tasks. We'll take care of any work that accumulates during the break after the holiday ends."

Su Su was silent for a moment, then said, "After hearing what you just said, I suddenly have an urge to punch you. You're such a shrew. Compared to you, I feel like I'm too kind."

Silence fell over the room for a moment.

"Wasn't this activity proposal your idea?"

"I just wanted a vacation, and by the way, I came up with the idea of ​​a challenge game with map-changing relays."

As they looked at each other, they both chose to shift the blame, saying in unison:
"It's definitely not my fault, after all, I just made a suggestion."

"Ahem, if there's nothing else, you can go now. Remember to tell the main system my suggestion and make sure it is implemented."

"Isn't it a bit unfair to exploit the main system like this?" Su Su's last bit of conscience kicked in. "Everyone in the company is on holiday, and it's already overloaded for Him and Xiao Cang to stay and work overtime."

"Hasn't He already gotten used to our workload, just like you? Why don't you stay and work overtime for Him?"

Su Su immediately changed her tune, "But then again, it's very important for young people to get more exercise. I'm senior, so please make sure I go on vacation with you, Boss."

"It's not a vacation, it's a team-building trip," Xuanmeng said matter-of-factly.

"Then I'll be going now, boss. I'll submit the suggestion to the main system while I'm at it." No more than three seconds after leaving the office, Su Su opened the door, leaned against the doorframe, and asked, "Boss, when are we going on a team-building trip?"

"After you notify the main system, I will send an email to all employees."

"The team building location will be the tourist hotspot chosen in the last vote. Those who don't want to go can take paid leave at home. Remember to pack your things, we're leaving this afternoon!" This wasn't the first time Xuanmeng had done something like this—acting first and informing later.

Working overtime in two places at once, or roughly speaking, it's her working overtime.

We've been working overtime for centuries, so what's wrong with taking a few months off?

In preparation for this vacation, Xuanmeng had already taken care of all the pending matters and the inter-world exchange meetings.

Overtime? Not a chance.

As long as you finish all your work beforehand and leave quickly enough, your work won't catch up.

After confirming Su Su's departure, Xuan Meng immediately began drafting an email: To all employees...

In short, you can choose between paid leave or a company-wide team-building trip.

Before clicking send, Xuanmeng packed all her belongings and sent a message to the smart home assistants of her partners, asking them to pack their luggage and put it on the starship that had arrived at the community. Several tens of minutes later, the starship hovered outside the office window, and Xuanmeng quietly slipped away and went to the team building location ahead of time.

She sent emails to everyone on the way, and also sent messages in a small group chat with only a few of them.

[Boss slacks off, employees get a day off—Xuanmeng]

Oh, I forgot to mention, our team-building location is different from the others. They went on a island vacation to a star-traveled paradise, while we went on a road trip.

The map is as follows:

[Spectator viewing of interstellar travel and meteor showers - premium seating.]

There's a chance to collect star fragments/meteorites for crafting and decorations, but no star cores. (Several old friends I know are about to perish, their consciousnesses have fallen into slumber, and they'll probably not awaken and reassemble for hundreds of millions of years. It's a good opportunity to go check them out.)

(To obtain the Star Core, one must define one's consciousness as the Star Core. I'll check if there are any surviving enemies. Let's go together and destroy it, and we'll have it.)
[Random galaxy treasure hunt and adventure, a self-driving tour with photo opportunities.]

Stop by the Gourmet Galaxy, create your own culinary paradise, and enjoy endless fun with shrinking pills and shrinking charms, fulfilling your childhood memories. You can even mail souvenirs across galaxies. (That's what the brochure says; it seems you can even create your own food city. The new culinary map in another world is based on that scenery. I have a pretty good relationship with the world's consciousness there, so it's all free. Let's go play together!)

The promotional material mentions "scaled down," which refers to the DIY food court package as a souvenir. It allows children to create a scaled-down food town, experiencing our fun and keeping it as a souvenir to fill their stomachs.
Travel between different star systems and experience the unique customs and cultures of various worlds. Travel by starship through space folding and migration, exploring and recording your adventures in different worlds.

(The only drawback is that, according to the established rules, our strength will be suppressed by the consciousness and rules of the world we enter, and our starship, our means of transportation, must be parked outside the planet. If we accidentally enter a world with a grudge against us, we might experience a thrilling and dangerous interstellar escape.)
These are the three items for now. If you have any better ideas, we can add more. [Real-time ID: 朝辞白帝彩云间—阿辞]: ...

【A Trip That Can Be Taken on a Whim—Xuanmeng】:
[Set coordinates, real-time positioning]
[Xuanmeng]: Don't worry, I've finished all my work. If there's anything going on with the main system, you can contact my newly created clone. We've finally been able to travel to other worlds; after working overtime for hundreds of years, we deserve a vacation, don't we?
I may have been on a lot of leave lately, but it's all for everyone's physical and mental well-being. Constantly being on edge and putting too much pressure on yourself isn't good.

Xuanmeng continued sending messages on the terminal, using high-sounding words and even involving other people in the group. Aci knew she couldn't go against everyone's wishes, and Xuanmeng had indeed finished everything.

[Aci]: This is a one-time thing, don't do it again. You guys go ahead, I won't go, I'm worried about the children.

[Xuanmeng]: It's okay to be away for a few months. Also, there's Xiaoling. If you're here, the children will feel restricted. Children also need personal space.

A few seconds after the message was sent, a fluctuation resembling an abnormal signal occurred, the screen in mid-air distorted for a moment, the chat content changed, the trial was not yet over, and the rules erased the existence of names.

[Xuanmeng]: It's okay to be away for a few months. If you're there, the children will feel restricted. Children also need personal space.

Xuanmeng sat on her private starship and tried to persuade Aci a few times, but it still didn't work. Driven by selfishness, she thought that if Aci didn't go, it would be better for him to stay and work overtime. So she switched screens to send messages to the others.

[Xuanmeng]: Judging from your location, you should still be at the company. But no matter what, you must bring Aci over.

Sending messages one by one was too troublesome, and even sending a group message required checking and replying to each person individually. So Xuanmeng simply selected the other eight people besides Ci Jie and created a small group.

【Xuanmeng】: [Red Envelope] x8, Leave Request Slip x8, Flexible Time Off Card x8
【Mysterious Dream】: Each person is limited to one copy. If you cannot fulfill the requirement of having no holidays, no weekends, no annual leave, and no sick leave for the next one hundred years.

[All red envelopes have been claimed]
After seeing the message, the group members looked up and saw the burning fire in their friend's eyes; everything was clear. They couldn't endure even 10 years without any holidays, let alone 100.

Besides, good friends travel together, sharing both joy and sorrow. Even if Xuanmeng didn't say anything, they would try to get Sister Ci to go on vacation, but they wouldn't be motivated enough, and might even be persuaded to stay with her.

[SuSu]: Boss, don't worry, we won't let you down. Even if each of us has to carry an arm or a leg, we'll get Ci Jie there.

[SuSuSu—Su's Dad]: +1, my wife's expectations are my goals. Long-awaited vacation, here I come! [Monkey King Descends.JPG]
【Red Robe Fluttering - Red Robe】: Su Su had just sent the message when she suddenly knelt down, with her lover on one side each, hugging A Ci's leg.

She had absolutely no composure, crying and sniffling. Luckily, there were no outsiders on our floor; the other employees had gone on team building activities early in the morning, otherwise, how could she have saved face?

【一叶娰—Old Ye】: What's the point of saving face? It's like integrity—it doesn't exist. Otherwise, you'd never get a wife. [No limits.JPG]
[The past cannot be retrieved—Reflection]: I agree with Lao Ye's view. One cannot be concerned with saving face at crucial moments.

【Working and Smoking Foxes - Moment】: +1.

【Linjiangxian - Linxiang】: I seem to remember it as "Don't be a coward at crucial moments," not "Don't be shameless at crucial moments."

[Xuanmeng]: Can we stop talking for now? Give me a straight answer. I'd be happy to help out; I wish I could be there.

【Bamboo Nest Forest Time - Stream Time】: If you were on site, you probably wouldn't have had a vacation, otherwise you wouldn't always act first and ask for permission later, and this time you even made a hasty escape.

【Xuanmeng】: [Spitting blood.JPG] Stop finishing me off. [dying.JPG]
[Linxiang]: Frontline report - Don't worry, thanks to Su Su and San Su's shamelessness, Sister Ci has already agreed to go. She just needs to tell the children.

【Xuanmeng】: Okay, I'll disband the group first.

[Group chat has been disbanded]
Xuanmeng felt that every second on the starship was like an eternity, until five minutes later a new message popped up.

[Aci]: We will be at the meeting point in ten minutes.

[Xuanmeng]: Okay, Aci, be careful on your journey. You don't need to pack your luggage. I've already had Lujiao, Er'an, Husui, Taosu, and Zhuyeqing pack your luggage and ship it to my starship.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

As early as when Fox and his companions were packing the luggage for the elders according to Xuanmeng's message, the children already knew about the trip and expressed their support.

Because when the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king.

Now I can finally let loose, especially when Sister Ci and the other elders messaged in the group saying they wouldn't be coming back.

Siyuan and Qiye then performed a skit for everyone: "The Monkey King Returns, and the Cries of Monkeys on Both Banks Cannot Be Stopped."

The two each occupied their own territory, letting loose and communicating across the space. The monkey's cries filled the living room, creating an echo effect. They almost climbed onto the roof and jumped around the living room.

Sister You and Hua Hua, unable to bear it any longer, gave the two of them a righteous combo punch, which calmed the two little ones down and made them quiet down, turning them into servants who served tea and water.

It was thanks to the timely intervention of the two that the subsequent tragedy was averted; An'an and the others almost couldn't resist sparring with them.

It is clear that even when the big tiger is not at home, the little monkeys cannot be allowed to run wild, because there is still a real monkey king steward.

At this moment, there is one week left before the registration deadline for Summer Event 2, and three days left until the start of the competition.

Next chapter title: Wuhu, Take Off!
Honestly, I forgot the foxes' names, so I rewrote them. If there are any discrepancies with the previous text, it's definitely a second name change. They gave themselves a new name.
