Saving the male protagonist in the dungeon only resulted in him becoming cannon fodder.

The next day, as usual, the meeting started on time. Bai Mengmeng forced herself to stay focused on the work report, trying her best not to let her physical condition affect the work progress. However, deep down, she was still concerned about the hospital's test results and the subsequent treatment plan.

As the head of the laboratory, Li Lin was the first to stand up and begin his report: "Through observation and analysis over this period, we've found that the previously established procedures haven't been able to fully realize their intended purpose. For example, the protective measures we meticulously devised were almost entirely useless in practice. Also, regarding providing players with dungeons, while newbies actively participated the first time, the situation changed significantly the second time; they could only truly experience the dungeon after actually entering it. I think we need to discuss these issues further. In addition, there's a crucial issue that needs attention: the duration of unconsciousness and awakening for players after entering a dungeon. Currently, this time setting seems unreasonable and requires further adjustment and optimization. As for the theme of the next dungeon, we must finalize it this time."

Bai Mengmeng sat at the head of the conference table, listening attentively to Li Lin's speech. After Li Lin finished speaking, she nodded slightly and said, "From what you just said, there are indeed many technical problems that need to be solved. Moreover, it's not enough to just ensure that the instrument's program runs smoothly; it must be made to perfection. By the way, I went to the hospital for a checkup yesterday, and the results showed that my brainwaves were abnormal."

Upon hearing this, Li Lin was taken aback and immediately asked with concern, "Oh dear! Is it that serious? Mr. Bai, in my opinion, you should immediately go through the hospitalization procedures and receive comprehensive and systematic treatment!"

Bai Mengmeng waved her hand, indicating to Li Lin that he didn't need to worry too much, and then continued, "Thank you for your concern, but there's no need to rush for now. I'll make time to go to the hospital tomorrow for a more detailed check-up. Let me take this opportunity to clarify these related issues with everyone. Since we're developing a dungeon-crawler game, we need to consider how to give participants certain privileges to add more fun. After all, the competition among similar games on the market is quite fierce. If we don't have enough attractive gimmicks, it will be difficult to stand out. Furthermore, in addition to the regular game flow, we also need to design some reasonable yet unexpected endings to improve the overall quality and appeal of the game."

Li Lin said with a serious expression, "We must do our best to complete the task raised by President Bai! Besides, President Bai, everyone is worried about your health. Why don't we call it a day and you get some rest?"

Lu Ze quickly chimed in, "Li Lin's suggestion is quite good. You see, you haven't fully recovered yet. What if overexertion worsens your condition? Besides, the technical issues you just raised will keep your staff busy for quite some time."

At this moment, Bai Mengmeng, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "Alright, since that's the case, then I'll give you one last thing. The theme of the next dungeon will be a fantasy/martial arts story. I'll leave this matter to you all."

Meanwhile, Huang Peipei was anxiously waiting for Bai Mengmeng's return in her office. As soon as Bai Mengmeng entered, she eagerly went to greet her, exclaiming, "Oh my, my dear lady, you're finally back!"

Bai Mengmeng replied with a smile, "I'm doing this all for work; I have to dedicate my time and energy to it."

Seeing this, Lu Ze shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile, "Only you can persuade her. Look at me, no matter what I say, it's no use."

Bai Mengmeng winked mischievously and retorted, "Who told you to insist on coming into the dungeon with me?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Peipei couldn't help but scold, "You two, aren't you afraid of being trapped in this dungeon forever?"

Bai Mengmeng replied firmly, "We've invested a lot of manpower, resources, and money in this project. If we give up halfway, wouldn't all our previous efforts be wasted? So no matter what, we must persevere to the end!"

Lu Ze deliberately put on a pitiful look and muttered, "She doesn't care whether I live or die..."

Huang Peipei chuckled, gently pushed Lu Ze, and said coquettishly, "Alright, alright, for letting you sneak into the dungeon behind my back, the punishment is that you have to have dinner with me tonight!"

Bai Mengmeng said with a doting expression, "Then you have to let me spend some money to make it up to you!" As she spoke, she smiled like a blooming flower.

At this moment, Lu Ze slowly moved closer, a hint of expectation on his face, and asked softly, "Can I come with you?" His bright eyes were fixed on Bai Mengmeng, as if waiting for her answer.

The end result was that Lu Ze and Xu Zhou were carrying large bags and were panting heavily. Xu Zhou, wiping the sweat from his brow, complained, "Isn't this considered revenge spending?"

Lu Ze nodded in agreement, and said with a wry smile, "I think so. After all, Huang Peipei stayed in the company for a whole month, and she was able to endure it without leaving."

Xu Zhou shook his head helplessly, sighed and said, "Oh well, let's just follow behind them and be their porters."

Just then, Huang Peipei, who was walking in front, turned around and shouted, "Why are you two grown men dawdling like this! Hurry up and catch up!" Then, she turned to Bai Mengmeng and said, "You have no idea how serious and responsible I am when I'm working!"

Bai Mengmeng smiled gently and comforted her, "Okay, I know you've worked hard, so I brought you out to shop today. Aren't you happy with all this stuff?"

However, Huang Peipei pouted and muttered, "You've misunderstood me. I'm not unhappy. I just think the third dungeon is too dangerous. Can I not participate?"

Just as Huang Peipei was about to continue explaining, a clear voice suddenly rang out: "Mengmeng, I have something to say to you." Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw An Ning standing there, looking at Bai Mengmeng with a firm gaze.
