Mu Rufeng quickly took it. "Thank you, Supervisor Wang."
"Alright, you're done for the day." Wang Kun waved his hand and prepared to leave.
"Supervisor Wang, I wanted to ask, where is the dormitory? Also, based on my work efficiency today, can I become a formal worker?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"The dormitory is in the building behind the cafeteria. Find the Dorm Manager, and he'll arrange it for you. Your work today was very good; you can become a Formal Worker."
"Once you come to work tomorrow and Manager Liu arrives, you'll be officially hired," Wang Kun said.
At that very moment, a voice suddenly appeared in Mu Rufeng's mind.
[Formal worker requirements met]
[Formal worker countdown: 11:55:22]
[Formal worker mission: Player must survive until work tomorrow, meet Manager Liu, and complete the formalization process]
Mu Rufeng's expression remained unchanged, but his heart stirred slightly.
Finally, the dungeon had given him a prompt.
He had met the requirements to become a Formal Worker.
Mu Rufeng guessed that completing the normal daily tasks was enough to meet the requirements.
And his title as an Excellent Employee should also give him bonus points.
However, the information that followed, requiring him to survive until work the next day, made Mu Rufeng ponder.
Clearly, during the day at Scarlet Preferred, no matter who it was, they had to abide by the rules.
But once night fell, it would become a lawless free-for-all?
Regardless, having information was good. Besides, he had a cheat, and he was fearless.
Wang Kun left, not returning to the warehouse but heading towards the cafeteria, indicating he was also off duty.
Mu Rufeng put away the money and slowly walked towards the cafeteria.
He now had a total of four hundred and ninety-five Soul Coins, earned in just one day.
"Sigh, this is more profitable than in my real life. If I earned this much every day, I'd make over ten thousand a month."
Mu Rufeng couldn't help but feel a bit regretful.
If only he could earn this much money in the real world.
Pushing the thoughts in his mind aside, Mu Rufeng just wanted to eat; he was truly starving.
If he hadn't drunk a bottle of Scarlet Eyeball, he felt he would be even hungrier.
As expected, the more strength you have, the faster you get hungry.
Before long, Mu Rufeng arrived at the cafeteria.
At this moment, the cafeteria was bustling with noise.
However, as Mu Rufeng walked in, the entire cafeteria quickly fell silent.
Every employee's gaze fell upon Mu Rufeng, their eyes showing undisguised greed and malice.
"Kid, where do you live? I need to find you for something tonight," one employee suddenly said.
Just as Mu Rufeng was about to speak, another employee beside him sneered, "I say, are you stupid? New employees have to be arranged by the Dorm Manager."
"Right, it's the Dorm Manager who arranges it. I hope this kid gets assigned to my dorm."
"You're the damn idiot, your whole family is stupid. Kid, where's your room? I'm coming to find you tonight."
"Damn it, come if you want, I'm not afraid of you. I'm in room 305."
A group of ghouls and demons barked wildly nearby. Mu Rufeng unconsciously cleaned his ears and then walked straight to the vending machine.
Although it was after work, from six to seven was dinner time, so there was no need to worry too much.
Only after seven would Scarlet Preferred's suppression of them drop to freezing point.
From seven to five in the morning would definitely be a chaotic period of all sorts of demons running wild.
From five to six was breakfast time, and the suppression would still be present.
These were all things Mu Rufeng had pried out of the vending machine.
"Hello, is my dinner ready?" Mu Rufeng greeted the vending machine.
"Select the food you want, then please insert coins," the vending machine said matter-of-factly.
The vending machine had now returned to its pristine appearance from before, clearly having recovered from its injuries.
"Hmm? Insert coins? Are you talking to me?" Mu Rufeng asked in surprise.
"Purchasing goods requires payment with Soul Coins. It's only reasonable. What? Are you planning to rob me?"
"Or do you think you're so great just because you beat me at noon?" the vending machine said dismissively.
Now that he wasn't violating any rules and his strength wasn't suppressed, he naturally wouldn't give Mu Rufeng a free dinner.
If Mu Rufeng were to act, he would violate the rules and face suppression.
With this one action and its opposite, the vending machine felt it could feast on the blood of the living.
"Oh? Then, that punch left over from lunch, I..."
Before Mu Rufeng could finish speaking, the automatic vending machine interrupted him, "Heh, you think I'm still the same me from lunch? Want to make a move? Fine, go ahead and make a move."
Mu Rufeng was a bit surprised by this. He truly hadn't expected a mere vending machine to become so arrogant in just a single afternoon.
"Listen up, everyone. If this kid gets assigned to any of your dorms, bring his head to me tomorrow morning, and I'll treat you to three days' worth of cigarettes."
The automatic vending machine suddenly shouted to the employees in the cafeteria.
This move was clearly intended to provoke Mu Rufeng into acting.
The cafeteria fell silent for a moment, then erupted into a flurry of heated discussion.
"Vending machine, are you serious? Three days' worth of cigarettes?"
"I don't smoke, can you treat me to betel nut instead?"
"Cigarettes aren't enough, at least throw in betel nut and cigarettes, right?"
In an instant, all the employees' attention was drawn to them.
"No problem, no problem, cigarettes and betel nut are fine, as long as you can bring that guy's head to me." the vending machine said.
"Deal!"
"Don't worry, if he's assigned to my dorm, I guarantee I'll bring his head over."
"Yeah, me too."
"Me too!"
A crowd of strange beings eagerly chimed in.
Mu Rufeng, however, let out a cold laugh. He swung his massive fist and directly smashed it towards the automatic vending machine.
At that very moment, Mu Rufeng suddenly felt a terrifying pressure bearing down on him.
Almost instantly, Mu Rufeng felt as if a heavy burden had been placed upon him.
His strength was suppressed by half.
This was the consequence of his actions.
Violating the rules wouldn't kill you, as long as you could withstand the punishment.
If you were strong enough to defy the rules of Scarlet Preferred, then suppression wouldn't matter.
Mu Rufeng had just violated one of the rules within Scarlet Preferred.
Fighting and brawling were prohibited; this rule was posted in front of every warehouse.
The automatic vending machine had been watching Mu Rufeng closely. When it saw Mu Rufeng make his move, it was secretly delighted.
It reacted quickly, its right hand already extended. The moment Mu Rufeng moved, its fist followed closely behind.
The fists of both parties collided with a resounding impact.
"Boom!" A deafening sound.
Mu Rufeng's fist, like a force that could break through anything, carried the vending machine's fist and smashed into its body.
