[Honkai: Star Rail] I Cursed Out My Boss, Then the Other Side Chose Me as Their Emanator

I've been thinking about a few things regarding this story since the beginning of the year. In the end, I decided to ask my editor to unlock it. Writing it has made me pretty anxious, and when I read the whole thing myself, all I can call it is a mess.

I'm truly sorry for showing everyone a story that falls short of expectations and reflects my lack of skill.

I hope you all have a happy day, every day ww. I'll also work hard to improve my writing from now on.

Thank you so much for all your support and companionship along the way!

[Quack quack quack, there's an unlock announcement here. Please sign for it!

This book will be unlocked this Wednesday, starting with Chapter 35. On the day it unlocks, A Su will bring you all a chapter of ten thousand words. Thank you for your support, and happy reading!

The author has been struggling with writer's block, and lately this story has been falling further and further short of my original expectations, which has made me anxious. I've decided to update irregularly for now, but I'll try to post weekly. I'm very sorry! (I'll post more whenever inspiration strikes!) I'm new to this, so please feel free to point out any problems. I really appreciate your guidance, QwQ!

What's the one thing an office worker needs most? A wealth of experience, or... If you asked Chu Hui from the Interastral Peace Corporation's [Technology Research Department], he'd definitely answer, "Obviously, a good state of mind!"

As an employee, Chu Hui spends every day darting between different departments.

According to the ever-enthusiastic Aventurine of the [Strategic Investment Department], anyone visiting the Interastral Peace Corporation is bound to catch a glimpse of that busy figure.

Chu Hui: Thanks for asking. As you can see, I'm in great shape. I just work 24 hours a day without a break, hahaha. What employee doesn't go a little crazy?

He laughs until bitter tears roll down his face. Chu Hui says, "Whoever wants this job can have it. I'm done trying!"

But according to Miss Topaz, you can't trust Chu Hui when he says things like that. He may talk a big game, but he works harder than anyone at outdoing his colleagues.

After who knows how many days of overtime, Chu Hui curses his awful boss every single day. Oh! My esteemed Qlipoth, of course I don't mean you.

I mean that evil board of directors. (Not really.)

2.

After who knows how many days of cursing, a stroke of luck led Chu Hui to be chosen as an Emanator by that Aeon of fun, or rather, the Aeon of Elation, Aha.

Great, great! I don't know why he chose me as his Emanator, but great!

Just as he was planning to quit the Interastral Peace Corporation with dignity and righteous conviction, he received a rebuttal letter from his dear supervisor, Yabuli.

"To my dear Chu Hui: Whatever your current position, whatever your circumstances, you will always be one of us at the Interastral Peace Corporation."

...His hand, which had been relaxed, clenched unconsciously. He really was perfectly calm!

After becoming an Emanator of Elation, Chu Hui's busy workload did decrease quite a bit. His 24-hour workday became 24 minus 1 hours, too.

3.

"Find fun at work, work while finding fun."

As an Emanator of Elation, I should refuse to work with enthusiasm! I want to go have fun. Work is an absolute no-no!

With that mindset, Chu Hui once again took on a new identity.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Chu Hui, a Preservation Emanator who rose several ranks to become a member of the board of directors."

As for the different lives of Emanators, starting with being an Emanator of Elation: I appreciate the invitation, but can I please stop saving everyone while hunting down my own dear Aeon?

4.

"Hey, are you pursuing Elation, Preservation, the Hunt, Abundance, Remembrance, or Nihility?"

After being mistaken for a scammer for who knows how many times, Chu Hui didn't lose heart. At last, he pulled out a brochure for the Interastral Peace Corporation and said, "Or would you like to join our company?"

"No escaping overtime, no pay raises, just a working spirit that gets forced to burn bright even when it doesn't want to!"

After finishing his pitch, Chu Hui found himself face-to-face with the Antimatter Legion. Then he looked up at some distant point in space and, somehow, ended up with the title of an Emanator of Destruction.

"Oh, so that customer I was pitching to just now was an Aeon's incarnation."

Nanook: The worst episode yet. Why? Because They sensed the presence of Elation.

5.

"Have you ever heard of the Aeon of Slacking?" Somewhere in the universe, tales are told of this Aeon, an existence even more apathetic than Nihility. Rumor also has it that this Aeon has some connection to the Interastral Peace Corporation.

There is a connection, and there is hatred.

So says a certain Aeon.

Content warnings:

1. The protagonist acts like a slacker at the Interastral Peace Corporation, but is actually the most dedicated overworker around. The [Technology Research Department] is his main department, though he also gets involved with other departments.

2. The protagonist has multiple Emanator identities. There is OOC behavior and a tendency for everyone to fall for him. The story mainly focuses on fun and has a light, clean tone.

3. There are many fictional events and a lot of original content.

Theme: Finding fun by riding on the coattails of Elation.
