The next day,
Morning.
When Lin Shan woke up from bed, he was late, as expected!
As soon as he opened his eyes, the time was 8:10 am!
He had only 20 minutes left before work!
Usually, Lin Shan would wake up at 7:10 am every morning,
leave the house at 7:35 am, and grab breakfast at work, arriving at his desk at 8:25 am!
He had been punctual for the past three years, except when he worked late the night before.
Otherwise, Lin Shan, who had a very regular life, would never be late for work, no matter what,
after all, he was relying on this job to pay his debts and get married!
He couldn’t possibly lose this hard-earned job!
Seeing that he had only 20 minutes left, Lin Shan jumped out of bed, threw on his clothes, and ran downstairs.
Although he hadn't washed his face or had breakfast, Lin Shan rushed all the way,
but he was still 5 minutes late when he arrived at the office!
This meant that Lin Shan's "perfect attendance bonus" for this month might be gone!
Lin Shan, who had been an excellent employee for the past three years and received a perfect attendance bonus every month, was unexpectedly late!
The members of his team whispered amongst themselves!
"What's going on today? Even the model employee can be late?"
"It's definitely strange today, we've never seen the model employee be late, this is a first!"
"I guess the model employee must have fallen in love, he probably went on a date with a girl last night and forgot to check the time!"
"Hahaha..."
Several people sat in the office waiting for Lin Shan to start the morning meeting.
As a state-owned factory, employee management was very strict.
Every employee had to attend the morning meeting before work!
Therefore, everyone in the team was waiting for Lin Shan.
Only the sound of footsteps, dong, dong, dong, could be heard, coming closer, and getting louder!
Then, with a "Duang!" sound,
the office door was violently pushed open!
"Team Leader...I..."
Lin Shan rushed into the office at the fastest speed he could, out of breath.
Meng Qingfeng, who was sitting at the end of the table, looked at the time on his watch.
"The model employee is 5 minutes late, it's really rare!"
Although Meng Qingfeng was Lin Shan's team leader,
in terms of both ability and diligence, he couldn't match Lin Shan.
The reason why he was able to become the team leader was simply because he had some connections and his "work experience" was longer.
Lin Shan could hear the sarcasm in Meng's voice,
but as the saying goes, "an official a level higher can crush you", Lin Shan could only swallow his anger.
"Sorry, I overslept..."
As a state-owned factory, although the rules were strict, there was no need for "clocking in" for work!
Being late or leaving early was entirely up to the team leader of each team,
so Lin Shan, who had always been early, had never been caught by Meng for any violations!
"So, about being late today..."
Lin Shan had just caught his breath when he asked the team leader quietly.
Meng just gave a disdainful smile and said to Lin Shan,
"Let's start the meeting first, being late a few minutes is no big deal, we'll talk about it later!"
Lin Shan's heart finally settled.
The company, to motivate employees, offered a perfect attendance bonus of 1000 yuan every month!
This money was crucial for Lin Shan, who had to pay his debts on time every month,
The day passed quickly,
The tired Lin Shan dragged his weary body back to his low-rent apartment,
Lin Shan usually would grab dinner at the company before going home,
but today Lin Shan was out of character,
he rushed home directly after work, taking the earliest bus,
even his regular dinner buddies at work were curious,
"Why is this kid so strange today?"
"I know, right!"
"This is the first time I've seen the model employee be late, and he didn't even wash up after work and went straight home!"
"No way! This kid must have something going on!"
"This kid must be going on a date, otherwise, this 20-year-old single dog wouldn't have gone home directly without eating at the company!"
Lin Shan's behavior seemed very unusual in the eyes of his colleagues,
"After all, the model employee is also human! He has feelings too!"
"Exactly, it seems like Lin Shan's thousand-year-old iron tree is about to blossom!"
"..."
Although he had just gotten off work, Lin Shan's heart was already flying home,
flying into the world of Fantasy Westward Journey!
To save an hour of eating time, Lin Shan had already ordered takeout on his way home,
so he could get an extra hour online tonight!
Scan the code to log in!
Lin Shan didn’t want to waste a single second,
his super Super Red Boy and 160-level Qinlong were still quietly resting in his character slots!
Although Lin Shan had managed to level his five characters to 175,
but the levels and equipment were still quite average,
after all, challenging quests were not Lin Shan's goal, and the reason why he dedicated all his spare time to Fantasy Westward Journey was simple,
only one!
That is: "Profit!"
Super Red Boy and a 655-damage magic weapon, those kinds of "luxury goods",
even for Lin Shan's characters, were basically useless!
Therefore, Lin Shan's purpose was very clear! It was to repay his debts!
After all, the most pressing matter for his entire family was to pay off the debt owed to the bank!
Looking at the "Myriad Skills Stealing" skill before him, which had finished charging and was surrounded by faint wisps of spiritual energy,
Lin Shan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement!
"This Old Yuan was kind to me yesterday, so I'll give you a break today!"
"Wait ten days or a month, and I'll come back to fight you again!"
Usually, the first thing Lin Shan would do after logging in every day was fly to the "Qin Mansion Courtyard" in Chang'an City to check the daily point card situation at the point card vendor!
After all, for Lin Shan's five characters that he used to catch Chi Guos, steal cards, and set up stalls,
point cards were a significant expense!
It was like the big trucks that were constantly on the road,
the fluctuation of oil prices was a crucial factor,
and for Lin Shan, it was the same as the point cards in Fantasy Westward Journey!
"Damn it, if the point card price continues to rise at this rate, it will be hard to even break even by stealing cards in the future..."
Fortunately, he still had enough point cards for his characters, so Lin Shan planned to buy more while the price was still low,
but just as Lin Shan was about to leave,
he suddenly had a flash of inspiration,
he wondered what unexpected effects would happen if he used "God Stealer" on the old man in front of him?
So, Lin Shan began to unconsciously examine the "Point Card Vendor" in front of him, who was fanning himself with a folding fan, wearing a robe like an official.
"Steal successful, acquired 10 billion taels of silver!"
