The Office Worker's Survival Guide [Infinite]

[Next up: "Bound to a Gossip System, and I Became President? [Cyberpunk]". Don't miss it if you're passing by! The blurb is at the very end.]

[Complete. Occasional revisions in progress. First published on Jinjiang Literature City]

"Are you looking for an internship that suits you?"

"Would you like to work nine to five and have weekends off?"

"Dear new colleagues, welcome to [The Corporate Slave Survival Game]."

The wrecked employee dormitory is filled with an eerie atmosphere.

The monthly performance review is the game's malicious scheme.

New-hire orientation, deadly mixers, financial crises...

When the office you can't escape turns into an otherworldly space,

there's no choice but to keep clearing levels and getting promoted.

Tang Man, a soon-to-be college graduate dragged into the game against her will, silently stares at the company notice in front of her.

"Notice [2022] No. 01"

All new colleagues must memorize the company's rules and regulations.

1. The boss is always right!

2. Never be late, under any circumstances.

3. Never slack off.

After thinking it over for a long while, Tang Man slowly takes out a pen and adds a sentence to the rules.

4. The rules above are complete bullshit.

Just then, a "manager" with a yellow talisman stuck to their forehead suddenly appears.

"Do not modify company rules without authorization!"

With no other option, Tang Man pulls out the suona she brought from home

and plays the manager a funeral dirge right there on the spot.

Every NPC in the game knows that you can annoy anyone you like, but you must never annoy the woman carrying a suona.

Because other people play the suona for money.

She plays it to take lives.

Before You Read:

1. A strong female lead; the male lead is in the background. There is a romance, but not much of one.

2. A powerful golden finger, with mild horror and a goofy tone (after all, I couldn't write it if it were too scary).

3. Enjoy!

"Bound to a Gossip System, and I Became President? [Cyberpunk]"

Blurb:

An intelligence broker suddenly appears in the cyberpunk world, codenamed "Nobody."

They say Nobody knows everything from astronomy and geography to neighborhood gossip.

As long as the money's right, Nobody tells all.

Everyone wants to find them and bring them into their own camp.

Shen Miao, under a secret identity: Thanks for asking. I'm driving a taxi. Do not disturb.

When Shen Miao transmigrates into this scrapped android, she has only seven days left to live.

Fortunately, an intelligence System appears just in time. The intel she collects can be exchanged for life points, and she can also buy all kinds of gossip-gathering gadgets.

Facing the danger of dying all over again, Shen Miao resolutely sets out to survive (and gossip), becoming an employee of an autonomous taxi company.

After all, who would imagine that someone behind a self-driving taxi could bypass surveillance and dig up all kinds of explosive gossip?

A high-ranking Federation official tips off a top wanted criminal in the car.

A pharmaceutical company secretly lures innocent civilians into illegal experiments.

A mysterious cult secretly plants multiple bombs in an attempt to destroy the world.

Even the taxi company's central AI is hiding all kinds of secrets.

Shen Miao: I'm happy to see my life points shooting up, but I can't help feeling we're doomed.

To keep happily gossiping, Shen Miao has to work two jobs.

Driving by day, taking people down by night.

To the high-ranking Federation officials who have turned traitor: So you're the little punk causing trouble! I'm sending you to jail today.

To the pharmaceutical company violating the convention: If you won't play fair, I happen to know a thing or two about throwing punches.

To the mysterious cult planting bombs: I'll come clean. What you bought from me were just firecrackers.

Later, when Shen Miao delivers her victory speech after winning the presidential election, she says: Believe it or not, I used to be a taxi driver.

Theme: Never give up. Hope lies ahead.
