Three Towers Game

Chapter 373 The Huge Changes Brought About by DR's Invisibility
The decline in the Dr value will become increasingly dramatic.

This point was actually deduced not only by Wen Xishu, but also by Yun Xinghe.

Wen Xishu felt that the store's design was unreasonable a long time ago.

Overtime increases DR value, and employees not working or not working overtime also increase DR value.

Even a word of encouragement from the boss can increase the DR value...

This extremely unreasonable setting makes DR (Dr Value) very cheap in the early stages, but ironically, the items in the shop are the ones that increase DR.

Therefore, Yun Xinghe also felt that this was unreasonable.

But he didn't care.

In his view, a DR value of zero wouldn't kill him, because the initial rules only stated that death would occur when HP reached zero.

Moreover, he believed that under his management, everyone was a brave and skilled wolf, and they even quickly wiped out Area B, even though Area B's management itself had major problems.

But now, they are the team that is most adept at attacking, the team with the strongest edge.

How could a team like this have insufficient DR value?

The desire to win, coupled with the stimulants that can be purchased in bulk for just five points...

Due to various factors, Yun Xinghe ultimately overlooked the importance of DR.

When motivation is below 50, work efficiency decreases and the error rate increases sharply. When motivation is below 20, distracting thoughts have turned into desires, and hallucinations and auditory hallucinations have begun to distort reality.

A11 saw her child.

The child cut open A11's stomach and crawled out of it.

After climbing out, he said with a smile:

"Mom, there's someone over there who can get everything you could never get even if you worked overtime without having to work overtime."

"Mom, if it weren't for him, maybe that person would be you?"

It's all an illusion.

But because the dr value was too low, A11 began to feel that all of this was real.

She suddenly realized that it made a lot of sense.

That honorary member just worked extra hard a few days ago, but now they can enjoy the points in the points pool forever...

Is this reasonable?

This is completely unreasonable.

"Mom, for my sake, let's make him disappear?"

A11 heard the child's voice and thought it made perfect sense. She was even so distraught that she didn't think there was anything wrong with her child speaking.

She just smiled suddenly.

The baby seemed to be inside her belly.

Suddenly, she stood up and walked towards the rest area.

There's nothing particularly noteworthy about this; during overtime, some people occasionally need to take care of personal matters.

A11 did not head towards the washroom area, but rather towards the rest area.

In the break room, one of the employees has a name.

He is A09, and his name is Zelatan.

A poor guy with only 10 HP left.

These days, Zeratan has been enduring immense pain. Only because he doesn't have to work overtime has his DR value decreased, but at a relatively slow pace.

Zeratan was as fragile as a patient.

He was somewhat surprised when he saw A11 approaching, because no other honorary members had been born in recent days.

The rest area during overtime work was for his exclusive use.

However, Zelatan didn't think too much about it. After all, A11 was very gentle in personality, and at this moment, A11 was humming an unknown tune with a smile on her face.

Her steps were even somewhat light.

Zeratan's first thought was, "Has her DR value recovered? Is she here to tell me some good news?"
To be honest, Zeratan hasn't had a good time these past few days. Since becoming an honorary member, he's actually been somewhat isolated.

Moreover, he felt that he was experiencing severe auditory and visual hallucinations, which sometimes even affected his work.

Even the boss, Yun Xinghe, barely paid him any attention. He didn't even offer to give him a stimulant injection.

Now, he even felt a sense of anticipation, finally someone was going to say something to him.

However, what happened next was completely different from what Zeratan had anticipated.

A11, who was always gentle and unassuming, had an increasingly obvious smile on her face, a smile that was somewhat eerie.

A sinister smile often carries a strange and terrifying feeling.

By the time Zeratan tried to dodge, it was too late.

A11's hand had already pierced Zeratan's stomach.

In the apocalypse, even a pregnant woman has her own means of attack. A11's ordinariness is only relative to those who can establish a power in the apocalypse.

Her fragility was only because the people around her were too strong.

She must have her own methods to conceive a child during the apocalypse and be chosen by the Three Towers Corporation.

Countless times she dug through garbage heaps and dug through the soil in ruins, which made her fingers incredibly sharp.

This is just a very ordinary killing sequence, similar to the ability of Iron Armor. Logically speaking, Zeratan is also not simple. There are no weaklings in the apocalypse.

Zeratan's HP penalty is too high.

A profound sense of weakness enveloped him, and his longing for connection after being marginalized prevented him from anticipating this.

By the time he realized he was under attack, it was too late.

Zelatan collapsed to the ground.

This honorary employee will no longer be able to collect points from his points pool due to external factors.

The immense shock of killing his comrade caused A11 to start crying.

She started sobbing uncontrollably; the immense pressure caused her to break down.

Her cries, along with the warnings from the electronic screen, interrupted everyone's overtime work.

The electronic screen, which symbolized rules, suddenly flickered and played the sound again.

[Regional Announcement: Employee Feng Shan from Area A killed Zeratan, a serious violation of employee rules, and will be removed from the team.]

The crying stopped a short while later.

Area A, now silent without the cries, was deafening in everyone's hearts.

Finally, someone was the first to realize it.

Did A11 kill honorary employee A09?

This exaggerated fact is shocking.

Yun Xinghe quickly realized what was happening and immediately went to the rest area.

At this moment, all employees disregarded discipline and went to the rest area.

In that instant, everyone witnessed the horrifying scene.

A09 lay on the ground, his face filled with disbelief, but his expression was frozen, indicating that he was probably dead.

A11 disappeared, seemingly corresponding to what the rule said—being erased.

All employees in Area A were in an uproar, with a flood of comments pouring in.

"what's the situation?"

"Do they have a grudge?"

"Does she think she can gain points by doing this? Is it some new rule?"

Why did A11 kill A09?

"Oh my god...Isn't A11 a pregnant woman? The one who's the most delicate..."

"Could she be an undercover agent? From Sector D?"

At first, all the comments were baseless speculations, with everyone chiming in with their own opinions.

But soon, someone came to a conclusion.
"It's because of the DR value! It's because of the DR value! A11's DR value has plummeted, so she did something crazy!"

The speaker was Clark Kent, the man who had built up his own small power base in Moen City.

Clark Kent wasn't stupid. Although his computing power couldn't compare to Tang Zhe's, he also had keen observation skills. Yun Xinghe wasn't the only one who knew everyone's DR value.

Clark Kent was also quietly watching this data.

So when A11 killed A09, while everyone was making wild guesses, Clark was the first to notice something amiss.

His words struck like a thunderbolt, silencing everyone for several seconds.

Because of this statement, everyone suddenly felt that it made perfect sense, and that it was the correct answer.

At this moment, Yun Xinghe also realized what was happening.

He was puzzled:
"Why... I clearly took performance-enhancing drugs!"

But soon, Yun Xinghe began to understand.

Even with performance-enhancing drugs, the rate at which DR values ​​drop cannot be effectively slowed down. This is because when DR values ​​are high, they hardly drop, but when they are low, they continue to decrease.

Thinking of this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

If Dr. falls to his limit, will he kill someone?
No, it's not necessarily all murder, but there will definitely be many crazy acts.

If A11 could still plummet like this even after using performance-enhancing drugs, how many other players are in a similar situation to A11?

Because the DR value is not visible, because the DR value is falling too fast... and everyone is in the falling phase, no one is currently rising, especially A11, which was fine yesterday but is now like this.

Will this kind of incident happen again after this overtime work ends?
At this moment, Yun Xinghe began to feel terrified.

He thought of this, and many others thought of it too.

"I don't want to kill anyone!! I don't want to be killed either! I want to leave here! I can't work overtime anymore, I can't work overtime anymore!"

Someone started shouting.

"Give me back my score! I want to go to Zone C!" "Me too, I want to go to Zone C!"

Three or five voices started to stir things up. Not many, but often, just like novel reviews, once one voice is heard, it often means that many people have read it.

The majority of people are silent; they don't like to speak out, but once they do, they immediately agree with it.

"Our DR value is no longer visible! Are we also facing a collapse?" someone asked.

At this point, it was Clark Kent who spoke:
"Everyone, please don't panic! We definitely need to stop working overtime first, but please don't be alarmed. Notice something unusual about A11 today; she's starting to have problems even with normal work, outside of overtime hours!"

"This means that before the DR value hits rock bottom and causes a person's mental breakdown, it is a phenomenon that leads to a decrease in work efficiency and work accuracy."

"But all of us, except for A11, achieved a passing accuracy rate today, which means we're not on the verge of collapse!"

"But we must stop working overtime."

Clark's words did indeed calm everyone down. Indeed, the fact that they could still answer questions correctly even while working overtime meant they hadn't reached the point of collapse yet.

However, the DR value dropped faster than anyone expected, and the lower it was, the more drastic the drop.

This means that nobody knows how low their DR score will drop after working overtime for the next hour.

Therefore, the most rational course of action is to immediately stop working overtime.

"I'm going to Zone C... There are still over twenty days left! We've only spent a fifth of the time, and we're already this exhausted!"

"I have to go to Zone C!"

A wave of waves has risen again.

At this moment, Clark's words gave people a slight sense of security... but also made everyone realize more quickly that only by going to Area C could they achieve long-term safety.

The number of people egging them on gradually increased from five or six to more than ten.

Especially those who came from Zone B but were forced to join Zone A. Although they didn't say much, their expressions showed that they desperately wanted to go to Zone C.

With the people in disarray and the internal political collapse caused by the aggressive military campaigns, Yun Xinghe was at his wits' end.

His greatest achievement was managing a region with over a thousand people.

His strength lies in his ability to maintain checks and balances.

But no one knows how Yun Xinghe manages the area with thousands of people.

He was merely an assistant to one of the apostles.

Thanks to the divine power of the apostles, in the areas under Yun Xinghe's jurisdiction, even if someone dies, a new person will be born immediately.

The scales of life and death...

There was never any tilting in that place.

Birth brings death, and death brings life.

It was in that special area that he had ample opportunities to practice the so-called checks and balances.

However, any system of checks and balances will inevitably encounter problems if it cannot guarantee the safety of the person being checked.

At that moment, almost everyone stopped working overtime. Half of them were applying to resign and switch jobs to Area C.

This indicates that the team has completely collapsed.

Although only one person died, the resulting butterfly effect chain reaction made it impossible for the team to return to its original state.

"Shut up! All of you shut up! Don't you care about the points?"

"I have over eighty points in my hand right now!"

"I can give you these scores. As long as you work overtime hard, you can join me at Three Towers Company!"

"If you feel that the accuracy of your work has decreased, just let me know!"

"A11 is an exception! An exception!"

Yun Xinghe opened his arms:

"If you leave now, don't blame me for not giving you these points!"

An outsider would be able to calmly analyze that even if they stayed, they wouldn't get those points.

An outsider would immediately see that this is just Yun Xinghe's rhetoric.

But we're all in the same boat. These points were earned by sacrificing our lives. When Yun Xinghe used the points to blackmail us, many people did think, "It would be such a waste if I just left now and these points, earned with all my might, went to someone else."

Sometimes, people working in the workplace often find themselves in a strange situation where many companies withhold a month's salary, or separate basic salary from sales commission.

If you leave when you're not doing well, you can at most receive a basic salary, but you can forget about getting the majority of your sales performance back.

Therefore, in order to achieve sales targets, they often work an extra month.

But when you work an extra month, the sales figures for the following month will be generated again.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

The silence once again gave Yun Xinghe hope.

As long as we keep this group in check, we can then proceed with a massive doping regimen, regardless of the cost.

HP loans solve HP problems, and stimulants solve DR problems.

In this way, I still have hope.

But suddenly, the silence was broken.

"Sunk costs are not involved in major decisions, and existing losses do not affect current decisions. We cannot allow the driver to take us to the wrong place just because we have paid the fare!"

At this moment, Clark Kent stepped forward. This former elite of Sector C.

Clark Kent said:
"I want to resign, Boss Yun. I hope you can give us the points, but if... if you don't, I will resign as well."

Just like when choosing a boss, Clark Kent was able to accurately identify Li Weiwei's problems and turn her strengths into weaknesses.

At this moment, Yun Xinghe's use of points to blackmail everyone was his advantage, but Clark Kent's next words immediately turned it into a disadvantage:
"I'm leaving if you don't give me points, which means that in your eyes, it's justified to plunder our points."

"If you can't even part amicably, how can I believe that if I stay, you'll give me the points?"

Yun Xinghe's expression turned venomous again.

A spy from Sector C! This Clark must be a spy sent by Sector C!

Many bosses want their employees to be smart, but not too smart. Clark is a typical example.

……

……

Area D.

[Regional Announcement: Employee Feng Shan from Area A killed Zeratan, a serious violation of employee rules, and will be removed from the team.]

After the district-wide announcement, Lorenzo quickly realized the problem.

D02 is in charge of internal affairs, which includes helping Lorenzo calculate DR values. Today, the DR values ​​are not visible, and then something happened in Area A.

This makes it easy for D02 to generate associations:
"Sir, it seems that someone in Area A has acted irrationally because their DR value is too low. We must strengthen our prevention measures and avoid repeating the mistakes made by Area A."

Lorenzo said:
"So, regarding DO02, tell me, how can I prevent it?"

D02 remained silent, and Lorenzo answered his own question:

"There's no way to prevent it. D02, Area A is about to collapse. Morale is low."

"I never expected this game to be played like this."

"We're about to lose too."

Lorenzo now finally understands what DR is.

It is the basic information in a resume, the reason why a person must live and work, the ties and motivation for a person in this world, family, love, kinship, responsibility, and willingness to give.

In a real-world business, if someone has many people to support, they have an extremely high sense of responsibility...

Then this person will not resign easily.

If you ask him to work overtime, he'll work overtime; if you ask him to work himself to the bone, he'll work himself to the bone.

Many people can work like crazy for their children, wives, and parents.

These things keep them tied down, ensuring they're always working overtime.

In reality, the dr value is invisible, yet it is also visible.

Although DR doesn't have a specific numerical value in reality, you can definitely see the things that force a person to strive in order to succeed.

Savvy leaders can use various methods to identify which employees are hardworking and dedicated.

However, in this game, dr is completely invisible.

This has led to a situation where employers can no longer force employees to work excessive overtime.

D02 and D03 are both strategists in Zone D, so they are naturally intelligent.

D02 understood Lorenzo's words perfectly.

"I regret that I am unable to help you solve your problems, sir."

"Because our actuarial calculations also went wrong after the DR value became invisible. The best way to prevent this problem right now is... not to work overtime. Let the employees' DR values ​​recover healthily."

"That is, we will adopt the same strategy as in Zone C."

"But we recently gave 28 points to Zone C. Although Zone C didn't get any points, their hidden HP value is still there, and the gap between their score and ours is very small."

"But their health is much higher than ours. In terms of hidden points, we have to give C area 28 points, so we are already behind C area."

"And if Area A collapses..."

Lorenzo smiled wryly and took over D02's words:

"If Area A collapses, those employees will more likely choose to go to Area C. Because Area C's policy of not requiring overtime is already in place."

"It's definitely much more popular than our D district."

"At that time, neither the population assets nor the life assets will be comparable to those of Zone C..."

"Area A is finished, we're finished too..."

The situation changed so rapidly, everything seemed reasonable, yet it all happened so fast that Lorenzo didn't even have time to react...

An invisible dr value caused such a terrible chain reaction. It allowed area C in this game to quickly checkmate the king in area A, and also checkmate its own king.
