A Background Character, but My Golden Finger Is Labor Law [Apocalypse]

Shen Li opened his eyes and discovered he'd transmigrated into a book.

He'd entered an apocalypse novel, becoming the male lead Ji Yuan's ex-boyfriend, who had been dumped for being poor and materialistic. After their breakup, he'd been left behind in a ramshackle base to be drowned by monsters.

After recalling his golden finger, Shen Li asked the System, "Are you sure? You want me to have this whole base to myself?"

System: "..." Have it to yourself? Why do you sound so excited?

The male lead, Ji Yuan, had completely lost faith in the money-grubbing Shen Li. "I never thought you'd be this kind of person. I won't give you any more supplies. Stay here at the base!"

Faced with Ji Yuan's accusations, Shen Li nodded vigorously. "If that's all, then we're breaking up, right?"

Ji Yuan: ?

Once the male lead and his companions had led the refugees far away, Shen Li watched the oncoming tide of monsters and curled his lips into a sinister smile.

He stood in the dilapidated base, his back to the terrifying monsters shrouded in black aura, ready to devour him whole.

He shouted, "Article 12 of the Labor Law: Workers shall not be discriminated against in employment on the basis of ethnicity, race, gender, or religious belief!"

The monsters' gaping jaws froze!

The monsters later said, "I don't know what happened. I just suddenly picked up a broom and got to work. Somehow that rag seemed incredibly appealing to me. I don't understand why."

The enemy monsters attacked. Their species matured at an incredible rate, reaching adulthood and gaining formidable combat abilities before the age of ten.

Outnumbered, Shen Li was in a desperate situation.

In the middle of the battle, he shouted, "Article 15 of the Labor Law: Employers are forbidden from hiring anyone under the age of sixteen!"

The enemy monsters froze!

The monsters later said, "I couldn't move. I don't know why I suddenly couldn't move."

Only a bunch of old, frail, and sickly teenagers over the age of ten began screaming and losing their minds. "Why are you banning our heroes?"

Shen Li: Sorry, random passerby, but my golden finger is a copy of the Labor Law.

Ji Yuan fought his way through countless battles and mountains of corpses, suffering heavy losses before finally forming a monster squad of his own and carving out a place for himself in the apocalypse.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he smiled faintly and returned to the original base to pay a stylish tribute to his ex-boyfriend...

He stood beneath the towering defensive wall, staring blankly as tens of thousands of monsters huffed and puffed while building a magnificent new city.

The gate bore a photo of the owner of the largest base in the apocalypse, grinning and winking, with gleaming white teeth.

"Hello! Would you like to work for Shen Li, too?"

"We strictly follow the Labor Law. We're a truly conscientious company!"

As the strongest experimental subject, Chi Yu had once been considered humanity's trump card for ending the apocalypse. In the original story, he was betrayed, fell into a monster horde, and ultimately died alongside the monster boss.

After falling into a monster horde, Chi Yu thought he was doomed. Instead, the monsters escorted him all the way to the gate of the base next door, where he ran into Shen Li, who was taking out the trash.

The monsters pushed him forward and enthusiastically pitched this top-quality worker with a six-pack to Shen Li.

Chi Yu: ???

He was pretty sure this was the apocalypse, not a job fair.

Staring at the labor contract in his hands, Chi Yu was deeply shocked.

He was the strongest experimental subject, and his probationary salary was only 2,500? Was that really reasonable?

Shen Li was grinning inwardly, but outwardly he patted Chi Yu on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Work hard, kid. A promotion and a raise are waiting for you. You'll marry a rich, beautiful woman and reach the pinnacle of life!"

One-on-one, both leads are virgins, happy ending
