Don't pretend, everyone knows you're the villain!

Lingyi looked at 0561's blank response and frowned.

He casually summoned the light screen and beckoned to 0561 with his finger.

"come over."

0561 immediately went over, and sure enough, its round body was scooped up and placed in its hand again.

The screen displayed a message stating that a host's loading time was too late, and they failed to gain the villain's favor in a short period. The villain's corruption was irreversible, even affecting the protagonist's trajectory. The system failed to promptly inform the host of the danger level, leading to the host being tortured to death by the corrupted villain. Upon logging out, the host suffered irrecoverable psychological trauma. The corresponding small world was locked down, no more missions were available, and the corresponding system was destroyed.

0561 My heart skipped a beat when I saw this. Was it destroyed?

The level of danger wasn't explained... but it knew this all too well. At first, it couldn't even remember the villain's name, but it only remembered when Lu Tiannan got close to Xi Mingzhu.

Fortunately, Xi Mingzhu was helpful, and Lu Tiannan's level of corruption was not high.

0561 was extremely frightened afterward.

That was close; I almost got destroyed.

Save a life.

Lingyi tapped the table. "What are your thoughts?"

"Report your progress on the strategy to the host in a timely manner, and if there is any danger, take the host away quickly and stay far away from the villains." 0561 said with a sincere expression.

"..." Ling Yi curled her fingertips slightly, her head aching.

It's true that you should run when you know there's danger, but it's fine for the host to run, but you're here to work and nobody can see you, so why are you running?

You must ensure that your department head is informed of the situation in a timely manner so that they can make decisions.

Once some villains have fully turned evil, it's not just a few people who will suffer; the entire small world will collapse. At that point, the host will die no matter where they run off to.

Logout permissions are held by the higher-level system; the system can only log out automatically upon completion of the task. If the smaller world collapses, the system will also be affected by the energy ripples, and there have been instances of systems being forced to leave due to these ripples.

Behind every policy are corresponding examples for analysis.

Lingyi knew that it would be difficult to get anything done by 0561's silly appearance, so as his superior, he would have to put in more effort.

The little one has a lot to learn, so take it slow.

"If the villain's corruption level exceeds 50%, contact me."

Lingyi was still cautious. Other systems would only contact the higher-level system after a new employee's success rate was over 75%. But Lingyi couldn't trust 0561; 50% was the danger zone.

0561 was delighted to hear this, knowing that he had someone protecting him and that his equipment shouldn't be destroyed.

"Good!"

Lingyi tapped 0561 on the forehead, and after transmitting the data, she put the little ball in a drawer to the side.

"Take a look at the employee handbook yourself first."

0561 obediently responded, then suddenly looked at Lingyi and asked cautiously, "Is there a test?"

Lingyi lowered her eyes and looked at the small round ball in the drawer, a half-smile on her face.

"you guess?"

"..." 0561 remained silent, wondering if I was right or wrong.

What to do when you encounter a new boss who loves to give tests and spot checks?

A domineering boss gave a stern test, and everyone remained silent.

In fact, Ling Yi couldn't be bothered to care much. He didn't care about himself; the department was all his, and he could handle any mess. It was just that this little thing caused trouble under his watch. Minor troubles, like this time, he'd turn a blind eye to, but major troubles, even if he wanted to show favoritism, would have to give an explanation to the other systems.

Looking at the performance reports from other systems, his junior staff were very motivated, achieving high completion rates and far exceeding the number of tasks completed by other departments.

very good.

Lingyi's expression finally relaxed, and she felt hopeful about life. Indeed, sitting in the office should be comfortable.

Just as I was about to lean back in my chair, I caught a glimpse of the little thing in the drawer intently studying the screen.

Lingyi paused, then sat up straight.

I can't lie down, I have to hold myself up.

Seeing her boss working so diligently, 0561 thought she couldn't let him down and became full of energy.

While Lingyi appeared to be diligently reviewing other employees' reports, her mind was actually completely elsewhere.

0561 lost interest after studying for a while.

I want to go back to my space to rest...

Lingyi was getting a little tired from sitting, and when she noticed that 0561 looked listless, she suddenly wondered who the two of them were punishing.

Neither of them felt comfortable being together.

But he can stop sitting here pretending to be serious; 0561, this little thing, can't be left out of learning.

Lingyi raised her hand and tapped 0561's little tuft of hair, her fingertips restlessly kneading it.

"Where did you see it?"

0561, completely oblivious to Ling Yi's inappropriate behavior, was startled by her distraction and stammered, "Just a fifth of it..."

Lingyi thought to herself, "So slow, what a silly little thing."

But he couldn't sit still any longer; he'd rather chat with other people. It was the first time he'd ever sat upright at work, and it was quite tiring.

"I have to go out for a bit. Would you like to continue studying in the office or—"

0561 immediately replied, "I want to go back to the space! Boss, you can come back anytime and rescue me anytime."

Anyway, 0561 knew that no matter where she was, Lingyi could reach out and take her away, so she had no temper at all.

Lingyi could tell that 0561 was just as eager as he was, so he nodded: "Okay, I'll check the progress when I get back."

0561's expression of wanting to cry but not daring to make Lingyi want to laugh.

Raise your hand to reorganize the data, and a circular hole spanning space appears.

Lingyi waited for 0561 to go in by itself, but the little thing didn't move at all.

Are you used to carrying it yourself? Will it get tired after walking a few steps?

Lingyi silently held 0561 in her palm and sent it back into the round hole, landing in the space of 0561.

Just a second before 0561 was put down, he cautiously spoke to Ling Yi, "Boss..."

"Hmm?" Lingyi paused, waiting for 0561 to continue.

0561 hesitated, fearing that Lingyi and the others would become impatient, but mustered up her courage and immediately made her request.

"Can I get an advance on my salary? I want to buy some snacks..."

I regretted it as soon as I said it.

If you get into trouble and still want to eat snacks, your new boss will probably dislike you. You've got some nerve, don't you know what's what?

0561 cursed himself inwardly: Serves you right for being greedy. You deserve to be scolded.

"There is no precedent for any department to receive salaries in advance."

Hearing Lingyi say that, 0561 quickly replied, "It's okay, I won't eat it."

The next second, 0561 was placed in the space, and then Lingyi threw in a bunch of snacks, including sunflower seeds, dried fruit, and potato chips...

They come in a wide variety of types, spend lavishly, and most of them look very expensive.

"Remember to return what you borrow."

After saying that, Lingyi disappeared without a trace, not even giving 0561 time to respond.

"Huh? Even if I sold it, I still couldn't pay it back, sob sob sob." 0561 was just thinking about using his brain for a while, and then eating less and taking a break.

This huge pile of food is ridiculously expensive, even just a small portion would cost a fortune.

In reality, the department managers had already figured out how to compile the data for these snacks, and could easily produce a bunch of them.

Lingyi's so-called "borrowing and returning" doesn't mean 0561 has to return the snacks; it just means that this little guy should stay out of trouble and work hard to repay his boss.

Most importantly, none of the children, Lingyi and Lingjiu, eat snacks because Linger is a great cook and loves baking.

No matter how impressive the data looks, it's still just data. They're no longer ordinary systems; they still need to eat when they can eat.

Humans need to eat and sleep.

Besides, Ling Er's cooking is really delicious; I love it.
