My System Only Rewards Me for Leaving Work on Time

On Lin Jue's first day at a major tech company, a rebellious System appeared in his mind.

Other people's systems forced them to work 996 and fight monsters to level up. His System had only one task: make him clock out on time. Every second he was late cost him one day of his lifespan; every minute of overtime cost him ten.

When his supervisor blocked his desk for the 37th time to demand overtime, the System issued a new mission: [Refuse to work overtime. Reward: See through the other person's true intentions for 30 minutes.]

Lin Jue did as instructed. Then he saw what was going through his supervisor's head: "If this kid doesn't work harder, my KPI is going to rank at the bottom."

The whole company was working themselves to the bone, but Lin Jue packed up and left the moment the clock struck. His colleagues laughed at him for lying flat, and his supervisor scolded him for slacking off. Then he discovered that every time he refused overtime, the System unlocked a new ability for him: seeing through lies, predicting risks, spotting empty promises...

While everyone else was burning themselves out at their desks for overtime pay, Lin Jue had already used these abilities to uncover the whole company's secrets.

But recently, the System issued a new mission: [Find out why one floor of the company is always lit at three in the morning. Reward: Access to the company's three underground floors.]

Lin Jue looked out the window. The lights on that floor were on again tonight. And the overtime request in his hand was still unsigned.
