Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 230 The Waters Are Deep Here
Passing through the outer layer of the bustling city center, "Lu Ke" followed the marked address and came to a densely packed housing area, and finally stopped in front of a three-story building.

"It should be here, right?"

"Lu Ke" stopped and took out a form with some simple routine questions on it.

For example, regular items such as daily playing time, gaming experience and areas for improvement, and later planning suggestions.

After checking the house number and confirming it was correct, "Luke" pressed the doorbell.

He waited for a moment, but nothing happened.

"Are you out?"

"Luke" pressed the button a few more times and waited, but there was still no response.

Isn't it a house thing?
"Luke" tried to make a call, but no one answered until a gentle female voice said, "The number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please call again later."

The spirit clone following him let out a light click and walked directly through the wall into the room.

He doesn't have much time, and it will dissipate soon, so observe as much as possible.

The room had not changed much since he left. Prell's body had been lying in the groove of the game cabin, and a light green liquid had sealed the entire cabin.

The spirit body took a closer look and found that this liquid seemed to be able to exchange oxygen to maintain vital signs, and had the effect of eliminating distracting thoughts and relaxing the mind.

How to describe it?
There's a unique feeling of combining technology and mystery, but it's not out of the ordinary and is something that can be studied from a normal worldview.

The door of the game cabin displayed a Do Not Disturb sign. The spirit body guessed that Prer was worried that she would be interrupted at some critical moment, so she turned on the Do Not Disturb mode.

Worried that something might go wrong if he forcibly woke her up, the spirit didn't dare move.

This world is full of complicated issues, but no problems have erupted at this stage. Exploring the truth is an additional task, so it would be bad if you accidentally cause harm to Prell.

The spirit body returned to "Luke" and saw him leisurely going downstairs and sitting on a chair in the lobby waiting to play with his mobile phone. He seemed to be in no hurry to get work done and spoke leisurely.

"There is no end to the work. As long as people are treated like beasts of burden, they will always be beasts of burden. Let's get started!"

Spirit Body: ...

What kind of mental state is this that is decades ahead? Twenty-something is the age when one should be working hard, so how can he have the nerve to slack off!

Considering that "Luke" was himself, the spirit body sighed, seized the last bit of time, left him behind, and started rushing back to the "Cosmic Wonders Game Company".

Taking advantage of this last bit of time, he came to see if there was anything going on in the office building.

On the third floor, colleague Flame was complaining to a middle-aged man in his thirties about too much work.

The middle-aged man had a square face, thick eyebrows and serious eyes. He had a neat but slightly outdated flat head and wore a dark suit, tie and leather shoes.

The simple attire of the same color and the meticulous expression make people feel that he is an old-fashioned man who traveled through time from the last century, so neat and standardized that he is inhuman.

The spirit's face became serious. The old-fashioned man in front of him was none other than the department head, Wu Shang. Unsurprisingly, he should be the one corresponding to the supreme consciousness at the border.

"Brother, please, I really don't want to work. I feel uncomfortable all over when I go to work. I just want to delete the database and run away."

The colleague begged the middle-aged man in a flattering and coquettish tone, "Please arrange a more remote workstation for me so I can slack off."

From the intimate tone of their voice, we can tell that the two might really be brothers, or at least cousins.

"I'm a supervisor, not a general manager or chairman. I don't have that much power." Wu Shang was indifferent to his brother's flattery and answered in a serious tone.

"Besides, people live to work. Life without work is meaningless. If everyone is like you, how can the world develop and how can mankind progress?"

My colleague blushed when he heard this and sneered at such remarks.

What a bullshit theory! People live to work and to enjoy themselves. A life without enjoyment is a meaningless life!
As if he had sensed his brother's indignation at his words, Wu Shang stopped lecturing and said bluntly: "Your business level is not good enough. It's very generous of us to let you stay in the company. Don't push your luck."

"Tsk, I don't care about that meager salary."

The colleague muttered a few words and left, returning to his workstation to slack off.

Wu Shang continued to work immersively in front of the computer.

The spirit body moved closer to take a look and found that he seemed to be developing a new game, which roughly included dim lights, ancient cities, monsters at the corners, doors that could not be opened, mechanisms that could not be moved, a surface that would cause debuffs when stepped on, and a large number of dung monsters.

Damn it!

The spirit body gritted its teeth and restrained itself from taking action.

Not to mention the tricks of this world, he is almost scattered now. If he makes another move, he will be gone in an instant.

Time passed slowly. When it got dark and the clock on the company wall showed six o'clock, a few little guys who were still in the novice protection period quietly picked up their backpacks and ran away.

Most of the remaining old guys stared at their computers intently, preferring to be in a daze rather than leave, trying hard to create the illusion that they were working seriously.

The point is not the progress of work or overtime pay, but that if you don't stay, you may be swept away. The current employment situation is too difficult. Many people are burdened with mortgages and car loans, and they have elderly parents and young children to support. They cannot lose their jobs.

When the clock pointed to nine o'clock, the old employees finally began to leave in batches.

Wu Shang glanced at the employees without saying anything. He raised his hand to check the time, picked up some documents and walked to the fourth floor.

The spirit followed Wu Shang at a distance that was neither too far nor too close, and watched him walk into a conference room on the fourth floor. There were already quite a few people sitting in the conference room, but not everyone was as old-fashioned as Wu Shang.

Among them, some were playing with their mobile phones, some were dozing off, some were watching videos, and some were bored and chattering with the people next to them. In a conference room, people with different coping strategies gathered together, as if they were collecting rare specimens.

After everyone arrived, the general manager, who was sitting at the top in a well-dressed suit, nodded slightly and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's get started."

He took out his laptop, plugged in a USB drive, opened a PPT, and gave a serious presentation.

"This meeting is very important. It is a meeting that will determine the long-term development of the company."

"Everyone knows that the company has been in a recession in recent years. Mobile game revenue has accounted for more than half of the market share. We have worked hard on stand-alone games, with meticulous scripts, modeling, music, and art."

"After years of hard work day and night, writing code, scripts and fixing bugs, the game is finally released. Most of them fail miserably. The few that sell millions or tens of millions of copies are the result of hard work, and there are really not many of them."

"Not only that, the price of games that can make a little money cannot be set too high, otherwise they will not sell. Many players also ask for refunds, and pirated copies are also circulating in the market."

"Faced with this situation, what do you think is our way out?"

The people in the audience were talking about it, and seemed to agree with the general manager's words. They nodded and bowed, as if they were listening to God himself reading the Bible to them.

After seeing that his topic had aroused such a large amount of discussion, the general manager nodded with satisfaction and gave the follow-up remarks.

"The answer is online gaming!"
