We Wage Workers Have More Grievances Than Ghosts

After working for 48 hours straight, Su Qingya accidentally wandered into a game called Echoes of Fate while on a business trip.

While everyone else was terrified and uneasy, Su Qingya was delighted to hear that she couldn't go back unless she cleared the game:

Then she wouldn't have to go back to work!

She, Su Qingya, wouldn't have to be a wage slave anymore!

"Ding!"

The System chimed brightly: "Current instance: Good Luck, Wage Slaves!"

"You are a newly hired employee at Gentle and Soft Debt Collection. Work hard and pass your probation!"

Su Qingya looked at the name badge that had suddenly appeared on her, with her name written on it.

Her resentment slowly began to rise.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations! You've awakened the skill 'A Wage Slave's Resentment Is Heavier Than a Ghost's'! Note: When the resentment within you reaches the required level, this skill will be activated."

"When this skill takes effect, the player enters a 'Neither Human Nor Ghost' state. All NPCs in the instance will regard the player as one of their own."

Su Qingya, who had suddenly been made a different species: ...?

Shi Er owns a small company.

Apart from him, there's only one employee there, a young woman surnamed Su.

But one day, even that lone employee suddenly skipped work and disappeared.

Furious, Shi Er went looking for her, only to discover that his employee had been working somewhere else behind his back!

He was about to lose his temper when his employee, who usually ran like a mouse seeing a cat whenever she saw him, came rushing over enthusiastically.

"Boss, I'm so happy to see you!"

Shi Er: ...?

Hearing the System's notification that her skill had activated, Su Qingya excitedly clasped her boss's hand.

Great! With her boss here, she didn't have to worry about triggering her skill anymore.

#After all, it's really hard not to feel resentful when you see your boss#

[Synopsis]

After clearing the Infinite game, Hong Zhuo was sent to the Interstellar Era by that cursed game System.

Dumped on a barren planet, Hong Zhuo had nothing but a personal terminal.

She had spent decades in the game, and apart from clearing it, she seemed to know how to do nothing at all...

Wait a second!

She might know how to do something after all!

A few days later, amid a sea of games about interstellar wars and mecha combat, a bizarre little game crept online.

The interstellar netizens who happened to see it wondered: What the heck is this?

After opening it: What the h*@)(fdksl! It's actually a ghost!

Half an hour later, after dying ten times in a row without getting an ending, one lucky netizen angrily forwarded the game to a good friend:

Bro, I found a little game that's great for killing time. [Link]

Watching the balance in her account continue to grow, Hong Zhuo let out a satisfied sigh:

Good thing she still had the Infinite game to milk for all it was worth.

#After clearing it, the Infinite game became my money-making content library#

#What do you mean, copyright? Then tell the Infinite game to come beat me up~#
