Chapter 1 The Dream Game
Friday, 16.21.
Company meeting room,
"Some of us are not active at work...but very active after get off work."
"Where's the performance? It's a mess!"
The bald manager spat and slapped the desk.
"..."
The sales department employees below lowered their heads and remained silent.
"Haha, come to the company to make a cup of coffee, check your phone over there...do you really think of the company as your home?"
"Let me just say this, if some people still have this attitude towards work... When the new general manager arrives, I hope some of you will be prepared to have your work transferred."
"..."
Su Ming knew exactly who he was talking about. After all, I was just seen playing with my phone yesterday.
The meeting is over and I return to my workstation.
"If you are sick, you still need to be informed even if you reply with a message after everything is done?"
Disciple Xiao Li couldn't help but complain.
“Just because you’re done doesn’t mean you can look at your phone.”
"Only incompetent leaders will pay attention to 5s, check attendance, and play with mobile phones every day."
"Enlightenment?"
"Hey."
Su Ming and him looked at each other and smiled.
Xiao Li has just graduated a year and a half ago and is 23 years old. But the pressure is no less than that of Su Ming... Both his parents are honest farmers, and they will do their best to support him in studying and getting out of the mountains. Now he has to think about getting married and supporting the elderly in a few years. The burden is really heavy.
In contrast, Su Ming's sister was admitted to Kyoto University with excellent results and received free tuition and scholarship support. The burden is almost gone and the future is promising.
"..."
Then I saw the supervisor standing at the door, obviously looking this way.
It's 17.02, and I have to get off work even though I'm here.
Don't care what he thinks. Anyway, I plan to resign before working for another month at most, so it doesn’t matter.

Moreover, there is something more important waiting for Su Ming.
For 15 days, Su Ming opened his eyes every day to confirm whether the translucent text box in his sight really existed.
Today... the day has finally come to reveal the mystery.
"Miss An, why did you come early?"
"..."
Just after coming out of the elevator, the sound of conversations in the company lobby caught Su Ming's attention.
The fat man with a big belly, that is... the acting general manager. Talking down to a woman?
A woman around 25 years old, wearing smart professional attire.
The neckline slightly reveals almost pure skin. The long hair looks black at first glance, but as the light and shadow change, you can find that it is mixed with brown hair like the eyes. It is not clear whether it is dyed or natural.
The perfect facial features, breast shape and figure are also impeccable. It can be said to be the golden ratio of a woman. Even if it is called a masterpiece that cannot be blasphemed, it is not an exaggeration.
"Just stopping by to take a look. Aren't you welcome?"
The tone was very cold.
"How could it be? You are here..."
The fat manager forced out a slightly embarrassed smile.
"..."
The woman turned back without warning and looked straight at Su Ming.
"?"
Su Ming quickly looked away and pretended as if nothing had happened.
Why are you staring at yourself? Just take another look.
That fat man is so flattering... Is she the new general manager? It feels a bit difficult to get along with. However, how the company will develop in the future and how difficult it is for the new general manager to get along with him has little to do with him.
Su Ming was more concerned about the progress bar of the dream game than these unrelated things. That's what really matters about destiny.
——
Su Ming lives four stations away from the company.
It takes an hour to go back and forth every day. I once had the opportunity to live directly next to the company, but at that time I thought spending a thousand yuan to rent a house was too luxurious.
It doesn't really matter if the apartment is old or not, as long as the interior is clean and not damp and there are no dark spots on the walls. It can't be too close to the public kitchen...otherwise, you won't be able to open the air conditioner and windows.
It cost more than 20 square meters. I bought a second-hand air conditioner, a water heater, a toilet... It can be said that although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. In addition to a bed, there is a computer desk bought at Pinxixi. The corner design allows you to put some miscellaneous items, but nothing else.
Usually, Su Ming would order a takeaway and watch the live broadcast. I'm not in the mood today.
‘The dream game. ’
After chanting silently, a translucent text box appeared.
[Identity authentication successful]
【Player Su Ming, welcome】
[Would you like to view the game description now? (This item is allowed to be skipped, but we usually do not recommend skipping)]
Su Ming followed the advice.
[Important instructions are as follows:

"?"
Su Ming looked at it.
Doesn’t this leave the slightly brighter ‘Next’ button at the end to click?
[The world of 'Mist' has been generated. Do you want to enter the trial immediately? 】
[Difficulty of this world: extremely low]
"..."
Waiting for 15 days...isn't right, to be exact, it was ten years.
For such a long time, if I hadn’t worked hard, or if I hadn’t deliberately chosen an unpopular school with a low admission score, I might have ended up entering a junior college and embarking on a life-long path of screwing.
But in other words, if you come out of an unpopular major without taking the postgraduate entrance examination, your employment prospects are really bad. Again, he relied on God's reward to work his way into a big company... But it wasn't too miserable. Su Ming knew that he was not good enough in his previous life and did not receive the bonus of being a reborn person in this life. He was able to support himself and his sister, and at the same time, he had enough energy to plan for the future. As far as the outlook is concerned, it is already pretty good based on my limited abilities.
Fast forward ten years, and I have long given up on fantasies about this kind of thing... Who would have thought that there would still be one?
[Entering the dream world, your body will fall into deep sleep. It is recommended that you find a suitable location and deploy a reasonable game environment in advance]
【Yes/No】
It’s only 21.26 now.
It's very early.
What can this long-delayed thing bring to me? Fame, money, or special abilities?
"Mist... extremely low difficulty?"
Although I don’t know exactly where it is, they say it’s extremely low, so it should be fine.
Locking the door, Su Ming lay on the bed and took a deep breath.
That's not bad, I don't have particularly high expectations...for example, I think that my life will definitely change dramatically if I show up. Just treat it as if you suddenly won a scratch-off ticket, just feel happy, and just go and see how much money you won. No matter how little you get in this way, there will be no sense of disparity.
What Su Ming has understood most clearly over the years is... contentment is always the norm.
'yes. ’
Lie in bed and meditate silently.
【Entering the dream world】
Su Ming's eyelids became heavier and his consciousness became increasingly blurred.
