The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 446: Heaven! Punishment! (Please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket at the beginning of the month!)
20 minutes ago, in a six-story office building in the west district of Sprawling City.

Lin Xiaotang sat in the cubicle in despair making sales calls.

Before taking this job, she had no idea that there were such standard cubicles in the sprawling city.

She had never been to the West District before.

——The entire virtual city has been explored over and over again by early players, but this area has no markings on the strategy maps drawn by all players.

This means: there are no valuable venues, items, quests or NPCs in this area.

But after the Dream Machine was released, she quickly gained new insights.

The boss buys credit points from players with amazing speed and keen sense of smell.

In this area, which is regarded as a "meaningless background" by players, three entire floors are rented as virtual offices.

Afterwards, the company system was quickly adjusted to require employees to work in their dreams.

And he said something hypocritically:
“This is all to give you more opportunities to close deals!”

“There is no secret to telemarketing, it’s all about the volume of calls!”

“If you make enough calls, you will get a deal!”

"If you can make calls day and night, your performance will definitely improve."

"Once the performance is good, not to mention a monthly income of over 10 yuan, even 20 or yuan will be no problem!"

"In order to make it easier for you to make money, the company went to the market and bought the dream machine at several times the price."

"If you don't work hard, how can you be worthy of the company's good intentions?"

……

To Lin Xiaotang, these PUA words were all bullshit!

I'm afraid the only thing that is true is "purchasing the dream machine at several times the price".

Because the Dream Machine is limited in purchase.

This damn company must have spent a lot of money just to buy a few hundred machines!

——Lin Xiaotang used to be a gentle and polite girl, but this crappy job ruined everything!
She lay on the table, feeling her head throbbing.

She studied foreign languages ​​before graduation, fully expecting to become a translator or teacher after graduation.

I never thought that I would end up working in sales after graduation, trapped in a cubicle every day making phone calls to foreigners at home and abroad to sell products.

……

There are still two hours until the end of get off work.

She began to think again about whether to resign.

And if I quit my job, how long my meager savings can last.

Take a sneak peek at the gaming group.

A friend in the group dismantled a bone rack and sold handicrafts yesterday, and then sold the earned shillings to a wealthy man, making more than 3000 yuan in one night!

It’s higher than her monthly salary.

——Her basic salary is only 2800 yuan!
I feel even more unbalanced.

"I really want to blow up this damn place!"

"But in the Sprawling City, things that can explode seem to be very expensive..."

"Ahhhh, God, can you please send a meteorite down and blow this damn place up? ! ! "

Lin Xiaotang suffocated and collapsed.

Just then, she suddenly saw her inbox light up.

'Official email?'

Lin Xiaotang was a little surprised.

For emails between players, the [Mailbox] icon will only flash once.

Only official emails will remain on.

She had no intention of working anyway, so she simply opened her email.

The title of the email immediately caught my eye——

[The Sprawling City Forced Labor Reporting Email Address is now online!]
When she saw this title, her first reaction was not excitement, but looking around guiltily.

The manager was yelling at a young employee.

The team leader was nodding and bowing.

Colleagues were answering and making phone calls with numb expressions on their faces.

Only when the phone is connected will his passionate working voice be changed.

Only two people seemed to notice the email and looked at it left and right like Lin Xiaotang.

Lin Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief and opened the email——

"The Sprawling City Management Council has heard that the phenomenon of employee exploitation and forced labor has become increasingly serious in the city recently.

But the sprawling cities have hundreds of millions of residents, all from different time zones around the world.

The city council cannot easily distinguish between normal work and forced labor.

Therefore, a mailbox for residents to report is opened.

Any resident who is forced to work can use this channel to report the company - it is best to report during work to facilitate verification by the staff.

Once verified, punishment will be imposed immediately!

This report is anonymous.

With the reputation guarantee of the City Management Council, Speaker Mr. Xu Meng, and Vice Speaker Ms. Xiao Meng, the whistleblower's information will not be leaked in any form.

If you are experiencing forced labor, you are physically and mentally tortured.

Please do not hesitate to click the link at the end of the email to make an anonymous report.

Your courageous reporting will make the social employment environment better and the city more harmonious!

Sprawling City Council

Lin Xiaotang's eyes lit up immediately!
Although this email did not come from Dream Building, but from the [Sprawling Metropolis City Management Council], it is a little strange.

But since the boss is Xu Meng, there will be no problem!
The promise made by Xu Meng is more effective than the official announcement of Zhumeng!

Without saying a word, Lin Xiaotang wrote an email to report the incident on the spot, and also attached more than a dozen photos and screenshots of work logs as evidence.

After pressing the send button, she felt mixed emotions, both anticipation and guilt.

After secretly looking around again, she picked up her phone and continued to make a call. But behind her, a familiar voice suddenly sounded:

"I left the mobile phone interface so that players can make and receive calls during the game, so as not to miss important things."

"And then they used it to make harassing phone calls???"

At the same time, someone gently poked Lin Xiaotang's shoulder.

Lin Xiaotang looked back in surprise.

His face just rested on Xiao Meng's index finger.

"Hehe." Xiao Meng's prank was successful and she took back her little hand with a smile.

Behind Xiao Meng was Xu Meng with a frown on his face.

The evidence provided by Lin Xiaotang was already very sufficient, and now after seeing the scene, it is even more certain.

"Xiao Meng, are you going to take action?" Xiao Meng was eager to try.

"Well, let's do it." Xu Meng nodded in agreement.

Then he looked at Lin Xiaotang and said, "Come, I'll show you the fun."

Lin Xiaotang blinked and subconsciously glanced at the female manager who was relying on her superiors for power.

"It's okay, she can't see it." Xu Meng comforted her.

So Lin Xiaotang stood up from his seat and walked to the window with Xu Meng and Xiao Meng.

She looked back and found another self at her workstation, concentrating on her work.

In the busy office, no one noticed the three of them.

This feeling made her feel very wonderful.

Xiao Meng clapped her hands and shouted with great momentum:

"Heaven! Punishment! Falling! Star!"

Such a loud noise scared Lin Xiaotang.

But no one else in the office, even the colleague right next to him, heard it at all.

Lin Xiaotang didn’t understand the technology, he just thought it was amazing!

But the next second, she no longer had the heart to think about any technical matters.

Because a piece of the sky outside the window suddenly caught fire.

In the sea of ​​fire, a huge meteorite wrapped in flames fell from the sky and smashed straight towards them!
Lin Xiaotang looked at Xu Meng and Xiao Meng in horror.

But I found that the two men were motionless.

Not only was he not panicking, he was also looking at the rapidly falling meteorite with shining eyes.

Instead, it was the colleagues in the office who noticed something was wrong and looked out the window in horror.

Relying on the fact that she was the boss's relative, the arrogant female manager became frightened and turned around and ran away subconsciously.

But it's too late.

In just two or three breaths, the meteorite fell with a loud bang!
The most central point is this office building!

"boom!!!"

A violent explosion occurred instantly.

The raging fire ignited the entire company's three floors. The flames shattered the glass and shot out more than five meters away, scaring passers-by on the street and making them scream in fear.

The female manager who turned around and ran away instantly turned into a torch.

The entire office building shook!
Lin Xiaotang stood in the flames, watching the entire office being destroyed by the meteorite and turned into a flaming hell.

Everyone - including the bullying female manager, the insensitive colleagues and the false self - were killed by the impact and flames of the explosion.

However, he did not feel any impact or heat, and stood firmly beside Xu Meng and Xiao Meng, watching the fire from the other side.

At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind:
"…Are there really meteorites falling from the sky?"

When you are confused and don't know what to do.

The pink-haired Xiao Meng who summoned a meteorite, brutally destroyed the three-story building, and killed all the life inside, pulled Lin Xiaotang's hand and shook it: "Sister, you can go home now!"

"We have already marked the boss and executives of this company. If they continue to do this, Xiao Meng will drop another meteorite on them!"

After hearing this, Lin Xiaotang finally came to his senses.

She squatted down and hugged Xiao Meng!
"Hahaha! Xiao Meng, you are awesome!!"

"Mua!"

"I like you so much!"

"You are my savior!!"

"Mua! Mua! Mua!"

Lin Xiaotang hugged Xiaomeng and kissed her excitedly.

Xiao Meng also laughed proudly, "Hehehehe".

Lin Xiaotang was excited enough, and after taking photos with Xiao Meng and Xu Meng, he hurriedly logged off to avoid being discovered by his colleagues.

——She hasn’t made up her mind to quit her job yet, so she has to pretend for the time being.

Xu Meng took Xiao Meng's hand, walked out of the broken window, and flew to high above the city.

Below, the three-story office building that was smashed into ruins by the meteorite was still burning with flames.

But the fire was firmly bound—it burned neither upwards nor downwards.

Apart from these three floors, the elevators and stairs on other floors can also be used normally.

It did not affect other players at all.

……

With this experience, subsequent operations will be much simpler.

Accompanied by Xiao Meng's voice, "Heavenly punishment meteorite!"

The sky and clouds of the entire sprawling city began to burn.

Meteorites fell from the sky and hit their targets.

In the sprawling cities, the black-hearted capitalists who are still forcing people to work are all facing "divine punishment"!
On the streets, players were all shocked as they watched the amazing meteor shower and the floors of buildings being precisely destroyed by meteorites.

But I don't know what happened.

It was not until 10 minutes later that Xu Meng released a meaningless message, which seemed to be an explanation of the incident:
[Be happy, not exploitative!]
