If he couldn't advance in his career, what was the point in striving? At his age, even if he perford exceptionally well, a promotion was impossible. So he adopted a laissez-faire attitude, doing just enough at work to get by, whether things succeeded or failed depended on how others executed. Outside of work, he focused solely on not being late, not leaving early, not working overti, and always being the first to head to the cafeteria when alti ca around.

After leaving the area, Bai Fu headed straight back to Xia Shi's residence.
She inputted the map given to her by Lu Yuelin into the ga's mapping system and, in conjunction with a book outlining the origins of the five major factions, now had a very tangible understanding of the distribution of these powers.
These five major factions now shared the sa continent, and the Genetic Primordial where she was situated primarily consisted of scientists and parts of the military funded by a major pre-war nation. After the war, these people established the Genetic Primordial in the far eastern region of the continent, starting from their hidden refuges, with the goal of re-establishing a new order in the wasteland. After a century of developnt, the Genetic Primordial now oversees six ga-settlents and dozens of smaller refuges.
The developntal paths of others, like the Old Republic and the Railroad Guild, were very similar, while the Human Alliance and the Truth Society were quite special.
The Human Alliance originated from what was once the mightiest power, the Old Republic. After the Mutant Uprising in the Old Republic, those humans who were heavily persecuted broke away and established the Human Alliance.
As for the Truth Society, to this day no one has understood the background of the Chairman. Even within the Truth Society itself, most people do not know the Chairman's real appearance or na, commonly referring to him as "that esteed one."
This was quite intriguing.
But unlike the intrigue, there were not as many spies and traitors within the Truth Society.
Otherwise, given how much the other factions detested the Truth Society, they would have long since attacked its doorstep.
Bai Fu committed all this knowledge to mory. This intelligence was usually not very useful, but at a critical mont, it could be leveraged to bamboozle players and make them perceive her as enigmatic and profound.
Speaking of players, after teaching An Ya to read for a while, Bai Fu opened the Community. She wanted to see what players at the Abandoned Cooling Factory had been up to recently.
As soon as she clicked in, she saw a post stating that Digging Girl had managed to get a ride from the Abandoned Cooling Factory to Lynn.
[Digging treasure is going hardcore, huh? Spent all her assets just to get a train ticket.]
[What's gotten into Digging Girl, turning into a natural-born live streaming idol all of a sudden? Can't seem to stop.]
[There's no such thing as a natural-born live strear, it's all about clutching the right coattails!]
[Isn't it also Digging Girl's savvy that saw sothing special in Bai Fu at first glance?]
A bunch of players were praising Digging Girl, while others were ceaselessly @ing her.
[Dig for it, hurry up and find Fufu, I need to see her safe and sound with my own eyes before I can rest easy.]
[Darn it, I'm a step too late. By the ti I got there, today's tickets were sold out.]
[Sigh, I wonder if Fufu is doing well in Lynn, whether she's been bullied or not.]
[Digging Girl, stop lurking, I know you're secretly reading the replies, and laughing while you're at it.]
Bai Fu nodded to herself, with the conditions of the roads today, Digging Girl would reach Lynn by tomorrow noon at the latest.
Recently, she had been risking her life to save players, saying farewell to them, and even erecting monunts for them, which completely maxed out players' emotions. After fernting for several days, it was now ti to give players an outlet for their emotional explosion.
However, she wasn't satisfied with just appearing in front of Digging Girl. She planned to use this opportunity to continue enriching her persona in front of the players.
Currently, her image in the eyes of the players was "a beautiful, mysterious NPC who cares for players," which was good but not sufficient. She needed to engage in so secondary creation on top of this frawork to further close the gap between herself and the players, to give them the impression that "Fufu is dazzling, but not out of reach."
"An Ya, don't you find it a bit dull staying here?"
"This... it's okay, it's a little dull, but it's fine," An Ya replied hesitantly.
Bai Fu called her over, "It's not often we go on a trip, so I'll take you out tomorrow for a walk. By the way, you..."
She instructed An Ya on a few matters, and An Ya nodded repeatedly, ensuring she rembered everything.
Her adoration for Bai Fu had already reached peak levels; whatever direction Bai Fu pointed, An Ya would never think to go the opposite way.
After resting for the night, they got up early the next morning, and Bai Fu discovered that Digging Girl was live streaming.
She sat by the window, occasionally comnting on the scenery outside, until half an hour later, when the car finally entered Lynn Station.
The mont her feet touched the ground, Digging Girl felt an illusion.
Had she really arrived in Lynn, and could she truly find Fufu? Was there a possibility that by the ti she arrived in Lynn, Fufu had left again?
She quickly suppressed this unease.
After all, she was brave enough to watch "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" alone at midnight; what was there to fear now? Just find her, and that's that!
Digging Girl cleared her throat and smiled at the cara.
"Arrived at Lynn, the closest settlent to the Abandoned Cooling Factory. So beautiful, my family!"
The barrage of comnts flew past swiftly.
[Wow, this city has a total Syrian vibe; it really maxes out the wasteland flavor.]
[This ga is really exaggerated, big maps notwithstanding, and it doesn't even need to load during fast travel.]
[Dig treasure, dig treasure, stop dawdling at the station, better go see Fufu in the distance.]
"Alright, alright, don't rush , I'm going to find Fufu right now."
Digging Girl officially set off on her journey.
She was already prepared for a continuous search that could last several days, but the pain of searching surpassed her expectations.
"Bai Fu? Never heard of her."
"A beautiful young girl with white hair? These days, there are plenty of people with white hair, and we see red, orange, green everywhere."
Ti after ti, coming back empty-handed, ti after ti, finding the wrong person, Digging Girl felt like she was about to go numb.
[Dig treasure, what are you doing? Dig treasure]
[As long as you don't stop, the road will keep extending, so, dig treasure, don't stop!]
[Dig treasure, do you want all your previous efforts to be in vain?]
As she watched the barrage, Digging Girl hurriedly explained: "There's no way I'm giving up; I will never give up in this lifeti. Right now, I'm just a bit thirsty—damn, this ga is too realistic. I have to find a way to earn so Credit Coins; otherwise, I feel like I might pass out before I find Fufu."
But where could she find a task that would earn money?
Digging Girl held her stomach, wandering aimlessly through the streets and alleys.
She didn't know how long it had passed when, as the sun set in the west and the bright moon hung high, she reached an intersection. There was an orange light hanging across the street, under which stood two people.
One tall, one short; one big, one small; both had beautiful long white hair that shimred in the orange light, rendering their faces particularly blurry.
But at that mont, Digging Girl's gaze cut through the blur and imprinted their features firmly in her eyes.
Bai Fu, An Ya.
Digging Girl stood motionless on the spot.
She could never have imagined that their reunion would happen this way.
This serendipity felt like the first ti she t Bai Fu, and when she found the monunt Bai Fu had erected.
In that instant, a huge wave surged in Digging Girl's heart, and the live stream's barrage also exploded.
