Pay Me! I Love Overtime

Li Junying is a corporate wage slave who has been working for ten years.

When the game arrived, he was working overtime for free, putting together a proposal for his unscrupulous boss.

As the game descended and the entire system he had worked in was about to be destroyed, Li Junying looked at his boss, trembling beneath a monster's claws, and laughed three times. He was ready to finally hold his head high and enjoy watching the boss get trounced. The boss cried out in terror: I'll pay you more! I'll double your pay!

Li Junying: Hmph. As if I care.

Boss: I'll triple your pay!

Li Junying: Heh.

The boss steeled himself: I'll pay you twenty-five times as much!

Li Junying shoved everyone aside: Move! Let me handle this! Pay up! I love overtime!

Later, Li Junying stood shoulder to shoulder with the gods in a mortal's body. Someone asked him what drove him to save everything.

Li Junying pulled away the hand of the person clinging to him and replied coolly: Thanks for asking. If you had a rich enough, useless enough boss and hubby, you'd be willing to give everything for love (and money), too.

Reader's Guide:

1. The boss is also the hubby, and the hubby is physically useless! But he's a genius at making money! The protagonist has a huge money-making cheat, and the hubby is a deadweight in the game (but he's not dumb, and he won't make your blood pressure spike). An all-around feel-good power fantasy!

2. I want infinite flow, I want infinite flow! I just want to see how badly infinite flow can torment me! I swear on this: if I can't finish this one, I'm a dog!

3. It's my first time writing a power fantasy, so I'm going to be stubborn and write until I'm satisfied! I refuse to believe I can't master the secret to writing one!

4. A goofball author writing a goofy story. Goofy moments ahead, so noncombatants should evacuate!
