Mu Rufeng quickly took it, "Thanks, Supervisor Wang."
"Alright, you can clock out now." Wang Kun waved his hand, preparing to leave.
"Supervisor Wang, may I ask where the dormitory is? Also, based on my work efficiency today, can I be promoted to a full-time position?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"The dormitory is right behind the cafeteria in that building. Look for the dorm manager; he will arrange it for you. You did a great job today; you can become a regular employee."
"Once you come to work tomorrow, Manager Liu will be here to officially induct you," said Wang Kun.
It was then that a voice suddenly appeared in Mu Rufeng's mind.
[You have met the criteria for becoming a full-time employee.]
[Countdown to full-time promotion: 11:55:22]
[Promotion Task: Please survive until you arrive at work tomorrow and meet with Manager Liu to complete the promotion.]
Mu Rufeng's face remained unchanged, but his heart stirred slightly.
Finally, the instance had given a prompt.
He had met the requirements to become a regular employee.
Mu Rufeng guessed that completing the normal daily tasks should suffice.
And his title as an outstanding employee should also earn him some points.
It was just... seeing the information that followed, which instructed him to survive until work the next day, caused Mu Rufeng to ponder.
Clearly, during the daytime at Crimson Preferred, everyone needed to follow certain rules.
But once night fell, would there be no rules?
Regardless, having some information was good; after all, he had a cheat at his disposal and had nothing to fear.
Wang Kun left, not returning to the storage area but heading towards the cafeteria, clearly off work too.
Mu Rufeng secured his money and walked leisurely towards the cafeteria.
He now had a total of four hundred ninety-five soul coins, which was just from one day's earnings.
"Ah, this is even more than what I earn in the real world. If it's this much every day, that's over ten thousand a month."
Mu Rufeng couldn't help feeling a bit regretful.
It would be great if he could make this much money in the real world.
Casting aside his thoughts, Mu Rufeng only wanted to eat now; he was truly famished.
If he hadn't consumed a bottle of Scarlet Eyeball, he felt he would be even hungrier.
Indeed, the stronger the body, the faster the hunger.
Before long, Mu Rufeng arrived at the cafeteria.
At that moment, the cafeteria was bustling with noise.
However, as Mu Rufeng walked in, the entire cafeteria quickly quieted down.
Every employee's gaze fell on Mu Rufeng, hardly concealing the greed and malice in their eyes.
"Kid, where do you live? I have something to find you for tonight," one employee suddenly spoke up.
Mu Rufeng was about to speak, but then another employee sneered, "I mean, are you stupid? New employees need to be arranged by the dorm manager."
"Right, it needs the dorm manager's arrangement. I hope this kid ends up in my dorm."
"You're the idiot, your whole family is idiotic. Kid, which room is your dorm? I'll come find you tonight."
"F*ck, bring it on, I'm not scared of you; I'm in room 305."
A gang of aberrant creatures barked madly on the side, and Mu Rufeng involuntarily cleared his ears before heading straight for the vending machine.
Although it was after work hours, 6 to 7 PM was dinner time, so there was no need to worry too much.
It was only after 7 PM that Crimson Preferred's control over them would drop to its lowest point.
From 7 PM to 5 AM would undoubtedly be a chaotic time of a free-for-all.
From 5 to 6 AM was breakfast time, and there would be control as well.
Mu Rufeng had pried all these details from the vending machine's 'mouth'.
"Hello, is my dinner ready?" Mu Rufeng greeted as he approached the vending machine.
"Choose the food you need, and then please insert coins," the vending machine said flatly.
At this moment, the vending machine had returned to its pristine condition, clearly having recovered from its injuries.
"Hmm? Insert coins? Are you talking to me?" Mu Rufeng asked in astonishment.
"To purchase goods, pay with soul coins. This is quite reasonable, isn't it? Or, are you planning to rob me?"
"Or do you think just because you beat me this noon, you're a big shot?" The vending machine said disdainfully.
Now it was not breaking any rules and was not being suppressed, so naturally, it would not provide Mu Rufeng a free dinner.
If Mu Rufeng made a move, he would be breaking the rules and would be suppressed.
Opposing each other in this way, the vending machine felt it could get a taste of human blood food.
"Oh? So, about that punch from noon I still owe you..."
Mu Rufeng hadn't finished speaking when he was directly interrupted by the vending machine, "Hehe, you think I'm still the same as I was at noon? Do you want to fight? Sure, go ahead and make your move."
Mu Rufeng, upon hearing this, was somewhat surprised; he really hadn't expected that a mere vending machine would become so arrogant in just a short afternoon.
"Everyone listen up, if this kid gets assigned to any of your dorms, bring his head to me in the morning; I'll cover your cigarettes for three days," the vending machine suddenly shouted to the employees in the cafeteria.
This move was clearly intended to provoke Mu Rufeng into taking action.
The cafeteria first went quiet and then burst into a frenzy of talk.
"Vending machine, are you serious? You'll cover cigarettes for three days?"
"I don't smoke; can you cover betel nuts instead?"
"Isn't it not enough to just have cigarettes? We need both cigarettes and betel nuts, right?"
In an instant, all the employees' attention was drawn to this side.
"Sure, sure, both cigarettes and betel nuts can be covered, as long as you can bring this guy's head to me," said the vending machine.
"Alright!"
"Don't worry, as long as he's assigned to my dorm, I guarantee I'll bring his head over."
"Same here."
"I the same!"
The abnormal characters clamored to speak.
At this moment, Mu Rufeng, however, just coldly laughed, swung his massive fist, and headed straight for the vending machine.
It was at this instant that Mu Rufeng suddenly felt a terrible pressure come over him.
Almost immediately, he felt as though he was carrying an extra weight on him.
His strength had been suppressed by half.
This was the consequence of taking action.
Breaking the rules wouldn't result in death, as long as you could bear the punishment it entailed.
If you were strong enough to defy the rules of Crimson Preferred, then whether you were suppressed or not didn't matter.
Mu Rufeng had just broken one of the rules within Crimson Preferred.
Fighting was prohibited, and this rule was posted in front of every warehouse.
The vending machine had been keeping a close eye on Mu Rufeng, and when it saw he was about to take action, it felt secretly thrilled.
It reacted quickly too, its right hand already reaching out, and as Mu Rufeng made his move, its fist followed closely.
Their fists collided with a thunderous boom.
"Boom!" There was a colossal noise.
Mu Rufeng's fist, unstoppable, brought the vending machine's fist along and slammed into its body.
