As ng Xu’s doubts arose, an item description soon appeared before his eyes.
【Primary Evolution Crystal (Strength Type)】
【Description: A crystal derived from genetic training by an unknown alien civilization, produced within a biological organism, which will parasitize the host and provide it with a corresponding evolution system.】
【Usage: Chew, swallow with warm water, steam, stir-fry, all are viable.】
【Attention: This item contains a certain virus. You currently have no ans to eliminate the virus. There is a 73.33% chance of infection upon consumption. Please use it cautiously. The probability of virus infection decreases with a better constitution.】
【Note: Your strength has already reached its peak. Consuming this item will not increase your strength attribute.】
ng Xu: ?
“By eating this, I can enhance my strength?”
At this thought, ng Xu instantly recalled Li Xiang.
Could it be that Li Xiang beca a genetic mutant by consuming sothing like this?
But that doesn’t make sense.
If my chance of infection is 73%, wouldn’t it be 99% for Li Xiang?
Does he really have such absurd luck?
ng Xu couldn’t help but be a little surprised.
But these things weren’t for ng Xu to ponder too much. After all, he now understood one thing.
Both Zhang Tao and Chi Wei seed interested in the Evolution Crystal in his hand!
ng Xu couldn’t help but smile slightly, as if he had found the best way to enslave… no, to command his employees!
“Hehehe!”
Suddenly, ng Xu let out a laugh that did not belong to a protagonist.
This laugh, sounded like it ca from an elder of the Soul Hall.
Leading the pack, ng Xu sneered, with zombies carrying corpses, nacingly following behind him.
This scene was very much like that of a villain.
One might even say it was enough to make a baby stop crying.
Along the way to the first-floor lobby, with two zombies in tow, ng Xu imdiately commanded Zhang Tao and Chi Wei to throw out the zombie bodies.
“Alright, carry on like this. I won’t be giving further orders. Rember, no biting people, or you’ll have no crystal to eat!”
Chi Wei and Zhang Tao seed clueless, and ng Xu wasn’t sure if they understood, but he went upstairs regardless.
Then, ng Xu stretched lazily and leisurely made his way back to the fourth floor, planning to check on the work before going up to deal with Wanxiang International’s issue.
After all, ng Xu didn’t have anything else to do at the mont.
There were still two snack vendor tasks that had not ended, but ng Xu now had a critical issue—Li Xiang hadn’t returned the snack cart to him, so ng Xu couldn’t complete the remaining two tasks of frying chicken fillets and fried sausages.
He sighed deeply, feeling both n’s silence and won’s tears.
However, looking at the diligently working zombie employees, he couldn’t help but smile.
Good, the company was thriving, and that was what mattered.
The rest was unimportant.
Upon returning to the office, just as ng Xu pushed the door open, he saw three employees imdiately focus their attention on him.
Shen Zhaozhao said cautiously, “Boss, the contract is ready, all that’s left is your signature.”
ng Xu responded by grandly waving his hand and signing his na.
With everything taken care of, he imdiately felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he were the official boss of a legitimate company.
After signing the contract, ng Xu’s expression softened as he approached Zhang Lunping’s daughter, Qiqi.
He was surprised to see that Zhang Wenqi still seed a bit feverish. He asked Zhou Yanni, “Didn’t the child take her dication? She still doesn’t look well.”
Although the fever was gone, ng Xu felt sothing was off.
“She did, chairman ng.”
Even though Shen Zhaozhao had previously spoken about ‘the brilliance of humanity’, ng Xu’s prior actions had left a profound impression on Zhou Yanni.
Therefore, she still felt sowhat in awe of ng Xu and was a bit hesitant in her responses.
Upon seeing Zhou Yanni’s unease, ng Xu smiled gently, displaying a kind and approachable leadership presence. Just as he was about to say sothing after a mont of silence, a golden line of text suddenly appeared in front of him.
【Caring for subordinates is one of the most important qualities of an excellent Chairman. Employees Zhang Lunping and Zhou Yanni have been diligent in caring for their daughter Zhang Wenqi. If you can cure Zhang Wenqi’s special mutated inflammation, you will gain two loyal employees. Additionally, this special mutated inflammation seems to be spreading in a small area, so please keep warm in the near future.】
【Triggered Task: Care for Subordinates, treat Inflammation】
【Task Rewards: Yuan 50000, Points 5, Chairman Experience 10, Allocatable Attribute Points 0.5】
ng Xu: ?
The sudden task caught ng Xu completely off guard.
You want to cure a disease?
How can I possibly do that? All I know is to take Xia Liting or Montmorillonite powder for a stomach ache and 999 Cold Redy for a cold, but you want to cure a disease???
ng Xu was a bit dumbfounded, but he quickly realized sothing.
The points virtual shop seems to have a ‘special cold dicine’, doesn’t it?
Not sure if it will work.
“Exchange.”
ng Xu didn’t hesitate at all and imdiately chose to exchange.
It wasn’t that ng Xu was generous; it’s just that points held a significance to him, but not a huge one. The main use was for drawing lottery items, and there was a high probability of getting high-level talent or sothing similar.
Given how remote his company was, any high-level talent that arrived would probably co in the form of mutated zombies, so ng Xu had already resigned himself to this fate.
【Exchange Successful!】
The next mont, he felt a weight in his pocket and, reaching in, found a small bottle of dicine.
Without any hesitation, ng Xu casually tossed the dicine to Zhou Yanni, saying offhandedly, “I have a friend who developed this special dicine. Have Qiqi take it; she should get better.”
With that, ng Xu stretched and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Shen Zhaozhao quickly stood up, trying to make her voice sound extra sweet as she said to ng Xu, “Boss, where are you going? Do you need to accompany you? I’ve been practicing leaflet distribution techniques after work these days. I’m really fast at it now~ I can definitely help you!”
Shen Zhaozhao wanted to prove her value.
But after thinking it over, she realized her only value seed to be helping ng Xu distribute leaflets. Hence, she extended her fair hand, eager to demonstrate her worth and make ng Xu recognize that she could be valuable.
“It’s not about distributing leaflets.”
ng Xu said offhandedly, “The employees at Wanxiang International are too many. I’m going upstairs to see Manager Lin and discuss downsizing so of their staff.”
Shen Zhaozhao: ?
Zhang Lunping: ?
Zhou Yanni: ?
What?
All three were confused, and ng Xu didn’t say much more to them. He simply grabbed the fire axe and started heading upstairs.
Once, he had been timid and had to strategize carefully to kill zombies.
Now, he was striking with powerful blows!
Any zombie standing in his way had to die!
ng Xu walked with his chest out and head held high, exuding pride.
After ng Xu left, the office fell into complete silence again.
Outside the door, the two zombie employees responsible for moving bodies made huffing and puffing sounds.
After a mont of silence, Zhou Yanni, holding the ‘unbranded product’ white bottle, looked at her husband with a pleading gaze, unsure what to do.
Zhang Lunping also fell silent for a mont, then said to Zhou Yanni, “Let’s use it. Chairman ng wouldn’t harm us… Plus, Qiqi is already like this; what if it really works?”
Zhou Yanni also believed that ng Xu wouldn’t harm them.
But ng Xu’s previously displayed ntal state made it hard not to worry.
However…
Zhou Yanni took a deep breath, imdiately poured out a 0.25g pill, and carefully placed it at her daughter’s mouth, helping her swallow it with a small bottle of mineral water she had in her bag.
Soon, after Zhang Wenqi swallowed the pill, Zhou Yanni was surprised to find that the fever had completely subsided!
Her daughter’s flushed cheeks also began to show signs of recovery!
“Mommy.”
Zhang Wenqi opened her eyes groggily, calling out to Zhou Yanni as soon as she saw her. Then, spotting Zhang Lunping not far away, she blinked and said, “Daddy’s lying, daddy didn’t get any plastic surgery!”
Hearing his daughter’s words, Zhang Lunping couldn’t help but weep with joy.
Zhou Yanni was also extrely excited!
Standing there like an outsider, Shen Zhaozhao also sighed deeply.
Her parents were far away in their hotown, their fate unknown.
She felt helpless.
However…
Shen Zhaozhao realized sothing.
Such a tricky cold and fever situation was resolved by Director ng with just a small bottle of dicine, and the recovery was so rapid?!
Thinking this, Shen Zhaozhao couldn’t help but gasp, and she couldn’t resist picking up the small bottle Zhou Yanni left on the table, sniffing it carefully, but finding nothing unusual—it was just an ordinary pill.
At that mont, a bold thought suddenly surged in Shen Zhaozhao’s mind: “Could I have really joined the Umbrella Corporation?”
But quickly, she shook her head and dismissed the thought.
“How could that be? If this were really the Umbrella Corporation, it wouldn’t be so shabby.”
Shen Zhaozhao felt she was overthinking. Perhaps Director ng just understood so pharmacology and could prescribe the right dicine?
Thinking of ng Xu, an overwhelming feeling of admiration arose in her heart.
“Our Chairman ng is truly amazing!”
