A young man in a suit scoffed at me, "This rookie is so slow! What’s with the boiling frog approach… It’s just annoying to watch." 0
 
Wang Shu yanked the detector off his wrist, "Xu Yuan, I’ve told you many times, your methods are too extreme! Have you considered that your actions could cause major issues with the company’s code and potentially expose us? Get ready for a penalty!" 0
 
Before taking Xu Yuan away, Wang Shu added, "Continue your game, but don’t forget our agreement." 0
 
Game? 0
 
Although Wang Shu looked rough around the edges, his words were quite insightful; this process indeed felt like a game. It was the sense of control I enjoyed. Tomorrow was the day of the probation assessment, and it was time to reap the rewards... 0
 
On the day of the assessment, Zhang Cheng was particularly excited because he was finally going to report the project he had been working on alone for a month to the higher-ups. In his eyes, this project was his best chance for a turnaround. 0
 
However, he didn’t know that I had already made arrangements in advance. 0
 
Just as he began his presentation, manager Ma, who was responsible for monitoring backend data, knocked and entered the room, leaning in to whisper something to the boss. 0
 
The boss paused in surprise before erupting in anger, grabbing a stack of documents and throwing them at Zhang Cheng's face. 0
 
"Zhang Cheng, how are you working?! The backend data for your project is a complete mess, and over half of the client information is lost! Do you even realize this?!" 0
 
Zhang Cheng's face turned pale; he couldn’t comprehend what was happening. "This… this is impossible! I clearly..." 0
 
I stepped in at just the right moment, "I’ve warned you multiple times; how could such a basic error still occur? How are we supposed to explain this to the company and our clients? Do you have any idea how much our brand value has been damaged?!" 0
 
"Enough!" The boss stood up furiously. "Zhang Cheng, you’re fired! The company will pursue accountability for the client information leak! With someone like you, don’t even think about staying in this industry!" 0
 
"Boss..." 0
 
"Get out! Get out now!" 0
 
Zhang Cheng stumbled out of the meeting room. As soon as he returned to his workstation, he heard whispers around him. Without pausing, he turned and rushed out. 0
 
Meanwhile, on my detector, Zhang Cheng's Despair Value continued to soar. It was about to reach 500! 0
 
The sunlight on the sidewalk was blinding. 0
 
 
I stood in the shadow of the building, watching as Zhang Cheng burst through the revolving door. He had just dashed onto the street when a truck came roaring by. 0
 
"Bang!" 0
 
Zhang Cheng's body flew through the air, his tie tracing a deep blue arc against the sky. At that moment, the detector indicated his Despair Value was 508/100. The first harvest was complete. 0
 
Zhang Cheng's soul hovered beside the pool of blood, staring blankly at his own lifeless body on the ground. This scene reminded me of my own death. 0
 
"Zhang Cheng, it's time to go." 0
 
He turned to look at me, confusion etched on his face. I realized he had completely forgotten that I had ever existed in his life. 0
 
This revelation eased my mind considerably. 0
 
All the way, Zhang Cheng muttered to himself, "Those client data... it wasn't my fault, I didn't know..." 0
 
I instinctively quickened my pace and led him to Window 3 at Wangchuan Station. 0
