Action

Six in the evening.

Zhang Yuanqing left the office area right on time, took the exclusive elevator for Heaven's Punishment members, and arrived at the lobby of the bank building.

He passed through the crowded rush of people leaving work and entered the public restroom on the left side of the lobby. Inside a stall, he transformed into a white man with brownish-yellow hair, took a suit from his backpack and changed into it, then openly walked out of the restroom.

He followed the crowd out of the bank building.

Then he went to the Desen River, known as the economic lifeline of New Covenant County. He sat on a public bench, basking in the sunset glow until night fell.

It was already seven in the evening, yet the evening rush had still not passed.

Overtime culture was also widespread in the Free Federation. This country with the strongest military on the continent likewise had a culture of corporate drones. Zhang Yuanqing had once read a joke about a European company that hired an employee from the Free Federation one day.

The employee arrived at work on time every day and left half an hour late. After a few days, his coworkers could no longer stand it and told him, "Oh my God, are you a devil sent to torment us? You're putting us under so much pressure. Please remember: we work to live."

The Free Federation employee dismissed them and even mocked his coworkers for not understanding ambition and hard work.

Until one day, the company hired an employee of Chinese descent. Three days later, the Free Federation employee said to him, "Oh my God, are you a devil sent to torment us? Please remember: we work to live!"

Zhang Yuanqing waited another half hour before leaving the riverbank.
