Hao Guozhi is a new employee at the base's inspection station. Her monthly quota is thirty impostors.
On her first day at work, she found one impostor.
On her second day, she found another...
With her performance increasing steadily by one each day, Hao Guozhi easily held the top spot among the interns. Plenty of interns in her cohort still had zero to their names.
Hao Guozhi went to work full of energy every day and went home feeling great. She was always the best!
The day before Hao Guozhi was due to become a permanent employee, a large number of impostors attacked.
She worried as she watched her fellow interns' performance numbers skyrocket in their group chat. What if she ended up being the one cut for coming in last?
Alarm bells rang in her head!
She watched the interns' numbers climb higher and higher. By the time the workday ended, the second-to-last intern had just scraped through with thirty impostors.
Hao Guozhi, with only twenty-nine, was unfortunately eliminated.
After work, Hao Guozhi went straight home.
As soon as she got there, a soft, squishy tentacle coiled around her ankle.
"Guoguo! Can we do that thing we did last night again?"
The young man's ebony-black hair stuck up playfully, and his glassy eyes were full of longing.
The girl took hold of the young man's slender wrist. His loose shirt slipped down, revealing the glaring red marks on his skin.
"Aaaah! Why did you give my competition extra credit?! I hate you!"
The girl slammed the door in a huff. The young man moved over to it and knocked. "Guoguo, open the door. I'm sorry!"
Just kidding. Why go out to work? Wouldn't it be better to spend every day with him?
