"You must be the new employees. For the next seven days, you'll be working here..."

The Butcher's blood-colored eyes swept over the crowd, his tone flat as he assigned each person a task.

But just then, a Dark-skinned Inner Cabinet Chosen stepped forward, pointing at Mo Shang and the others with a dissatisfied shout.

"Unfair! Why do we have to work while they don't?"

As his words fell, a deathly silence gripped the scene. All the Chosen turned to look at the dark-skinned one, their eyes filled with shock, pity, and schadenfreude...

"Are you questioning me?"

In the next instant, a wisp of black aura surged from the Butcher's body, his face twisting into a savage snarl.

The black aura seemed alive, instantly surging toward that Chosen.

"Aaaah..."

The dark-skinned Chosen's face twisted in terror as he let out a scream, his body undergoing a bizarre transformation—his ears grew wide, his hands and feet began to mutate.

In no time at all, the dark-skinned Chosen had completely changed, turning into a black fat pig...

Watching this, Zhou Yi's pupils contracted with gravity, and he couldn't help but feel a bit speechless: "A perfect free meal delivery..."

At the same time, Zhou Yi noticed a problem—the Weird World's killing methods were truly bizarre, capable of turning a person into a pig without even needing to touch them.

"I wonder if my talent can work against this black aura..." Zhou Yi clenched his fists. He wouldn't act rashly until he confirmed the scope of his talent's effectiveness.

Mo Shang watched from the side without making any move, even showing a hint of curiosity. Within the black aura, he sensed a unique set of rules.

"So this is the rule of the Weird World? Completely different from the power system of the Mystic Heaven Realm..."

"Anyone else have objections?"

The Butcher's scarlet eyes scanned the crowd of Chosen, his voice icy cold.

Silence reigned in the scene. They had all just witnessed the dark-skinned Chosen's fate, so naturally, no one was foolish enough to speak up...

"Get to work. And a word of advice—since you're here, don't waste your energy trying to leave..." The Butcher's gaze swept over the Chosen once more before he spoke again.

Seeing this, the Chosen immediately headed to their assigned posts, not lingering for a moment.

As the crowd dispersed, the Butcher turned his attention to Mo Shang and the others, his ferocity fading into a faint smile. "Come on, you two. Let's have some tea in my office."

"Alright, let's go." Mo Shang nodded without refusing.

They weren't afraid of any tricks from the other side. With the system in place, if they encountered an insurmountable danger, they could instantly leave this world.

Besides, he had the bug-like Death Immunity trait—no one could kill him. And Jiang Shuyu was the Female Emperor Reincarnation; if she went all out, she could probably level the entire Weird World...

Soon, under the Butcher's lead, Mo Shang and the others arrived at an office.

Unexpectedly, the office was spotless and tidy, with no trace of filth or weirdness—it looked perfectly normal.

Once inside, the Butcher's appearance changed too. His blood-stained apron vanished, replaced by a clean, pressed shirt.

"Have a seat, you two." The Butcher gestured for them to sit.

"Your place is pretty normal." Mo Shang sat down with Jiang Shuyu, then spoke with a smile.

"The mess outside is just for work. I'm a man who values cleanliness and order..." The Butcher replied with a smile, placing two cups of freshly brewed tea in front of them.

The tea was clear and bright, exuding a faint fragrance, with no issues at all.

If you find this book enjoyable, to avoid losing it next time, remember to bookmark it.

"Who do you work for?" Mo Shang took a sip of tea and asked curiously.

"Who else? The Weird World's rules. Stuck in this dungeon every day, bored to death..." The Butcher shrugged, a helpless look on his face.

"Isn't this your only dungeon? Do you really need to watch it every day?"

"Not just this one. Sometimes I have to guest-star in other dungeons..."

"Sounds like you're pretty busy. By the way, do you actually intend to let the Chosen clear this dungeon?"

"Since they're here, what's there to say? Of course, I keep them all."

"Oh, and is there any way for us to leave the Weird World? I'd like to take a look around outside first."

"There is, brother, there is. You can have the rules send you out..."

While Mo Shang and the Butcher were chatting, Zhou Yi and the other Chosen had already entered the workshop.

The workshop wasn't just filled with Chosen. There were also many figures in white robes bustling about inside.

But these figures weren't human—they were weird creatures with animal heads and human bodies!

Fortunately, these monsters didn't react much to the Chosen's arrival. They each stuck to their tasks, busy on the assembly line, their eyes hollow like soulless shells...

"The beasts of burden among the weird..."

Zhou Yi's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't dwell on it. He walked to his assigned post, stopping before a pen full of livestock. His job was to count the animals and record their numbers in and out...

However, Zhou Yi didn't start counting right away. A notice board on the pen caught his attention.

The board didn't have the usual warnings—instead, it listed two rules.

Factory Rules:

Rule 1: You are a beast of burden, you must work.

Rule 2: You are a beast of burden, you must not work.

"These rules..." Staring at the two incomprehensible rules, Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel a bit broken.

These rules were clearly playing word games with them!

Looking at the two rules, Zhou Yi didn't start moving. Instead, he secretly observed the chosen ones from other countries.

After entering the workshop, some chosen ones had already begun working obediently, while others, like Zhou Yi, were in a state of observation...

"We're being assimilated..."

As time passed, Zhou Yi's expression gradually grew solemn. He had noticed something wrong.

The expressions of the chosen ones who had started working were slowly turning blank, and even their appearances were beginning to change, trending toward animal heads...

Not only that, but Zhou Yi also noticed changes in himself. Even without any action, he was being assimilated!

"Even without breaking the rules, I'll probably be assimilated after a while..."

The survival condition was to last seven days, but at this rate of assimilation, no one could make it to the seventh day!

"As expected of a hell-difficulty start, impossible to guard against..." Thinking this, Zhou Yi's expression grew even more grim.

However, just then, Zhou Yi thought of something and slapped himself on the body.

The next moment, a wisp of black qi drifted out from his body, and the signs of assimilation on him vanished.

"It actually works?!"

An S-rank talent was truly terrifying. With this talent, he had no need to worry about being assimilated!
