With that, Yun Youyou actually performed a rave hand dance for Xiao Yanxi.
Xiao Yanxi: …
He watched her hands whirl faster and faster, then fell silent.
This coworker really was too embarrassing to show off in public.
“Ahem.”
Fu Yiming coughed softly beside her and murmured, “That’s enough.”
Only then did Yun Youyou lower her hands.
Fu Yiming said, “All right. Tell me what I need to do to clear the Instance.”
Yun Youyou was only a temporary worker in the Instance. Of course she did not know the secret to clearing it.
Xiao Yanxi did.
But he simply did not want to tell Fu Yiming.
“If I tell you just because you asked, wouldn’t that make me look pathetic?”
Fu Yiming’s expression remained calm.
“You can choose not to tell me. I just don’t know whether you can handle the consequences.”
Xiao Yanxi said, “What a joke. There’s nothing I can’t handle.”
He looked so wildly arrogant that he might as well have been challenging the heavens themselves.
Even Yun Youyou thought he should not be called Xiao Yanxi. He should be called Xiao Tianba.
The name alone sounded domineering.
Five minutes later.
The insufferably arrogant Xiao Yanxi was hanging upside down in midair.
A rope had been tied around his feet and used to hang him from the ceiling fan.
With his head pointing down, blood was about to flood Xiao Yanxi’s brain.
Fu Yiming glanced at him with a half smile.
“Weren’t you acting tough just now? Still feeling tough?”
Xiao Yanxi looked deeply humiliated.
This man was completely unreasonable. The moment they disagreed, he had strung Xiao Yanxi up from the ceiling.
Aggrieved, Xiao Yanxi looked at Yun Youyou, who was sitting comfortably nearby. “Why does she get to sit down? Is it because she’s pretty? I suspect there’s some kind of beauty-for-power deal going on between you two.”
Yun Youyou nearly choked on her own saliva.
She walked over and kicked Xiao Yanxi in annoyance.
“You’re just jealous of my beauty. Keep running your mouth and I’ll stuff a shoe in it.”
Fu Yiming nodded in agreement.
“Go ahead. Nothing useful comes out of that mouth anyway.”
Yun Youyou did not want to take off her own shoe.
Nor did she want to touch anyone else’s stinky shoes.
After looking around, she suddenly turned to Fu Yiming.
“Could you lift your foot, please?”
Fu Yiming did not understand, but he raised his left foot anyway.
“What are you doing?”
Yun Youyou grabbed his calf and tried to shove his foot into Xiao Yanxi’s mouth.
This time, Xiao Yanxi and Fu Yiming wore identical looks of horror.
Fu Yiming hurriedly yanked his foot back.
He asked in alarm, “What are you doing?”
Yun Youyou said, “Stuffing a shoe into his mouth, obviously.”
Fu Yiming quickly guarded his feet and refused with conviction.
“No!”
The image was far too twisted.
He could not accept it.
Xiao Yanxi, still dangling in midair, could not take it either.
Fu Yiming had beaten his face black and blue, but that did not stop him from talking.
“Pah! Quit trying to shove every nasty thing you find into my mouth. I’m not a trash can.”
Fu Yiming defended himself. “My feet don’t stink.”
“I’m asking you one last time. What do I have to do to clear the Instance?”
Fu Yiming gave Xiao Yanxi one more chance.
Xiao Yanxi rolled his eyes.
“I don’t know.”
Fu Yiming stopped looking at him and ordered Yun Youyou directly.
“Hang him in the restroom. From now on, he can be the restroom trash can.”
Xiao Yanxi’s eyes flew wide, and a furious stream poured from his mouth. “@#$%…”
Fu Yiming turned a deaf ear.
Xiao Yanxi was still her coworker, after all. Yun Youyou hesitated. “Isn’t that a little mean?”
She said that, but her hands were already untying the rope.
Xiao Yanxi: …
Hypocrite!
What a hypocrite!
Fu Yiming showed no particular reaction. He merely said, “If you think it’s wrong, you can take his place.”
At that, Yun Youyou’s hands moved considerably faster.
As she worked on the rope, she said, “Xixi, I’m sorry.”
Xixi: …
I should have known. There was no such thing as brotherhood among ghosts.
He finally understood that he could rely on neither ghosts nor humans.
“I’ll tell you! Fine, I’ll tell you!”
Fu Yiming crouched down to meet his eyes.
“All right. Go ahead.”
Xiao Yanxi tried to bargain with him. “Let me down first.”
Fu Yiming stood up again.
“Forget it. Take him to the restroom. He clearly still hasn’t thought this through.”
“No, no, no!”
Xiao Yanxi had no desire to enter that reeking restroom.
When Fu Yiming remained unmoved, Xiao Yanxi hurriedly appealed to Yun Youyou. “Youyou, we’re coworkers! I’ve always thought of you as a friend. You can’t just stand there and watch me die!”
Before Yun Youyou could answer, Fu Yiming spoke.
“If you want to help him, you can take his place in the restroom.”
Yun Youyou thought for 0.01 seconds, then swiftly pulled out a small knife and cut the rope.
Xiao Yanxi: …
You could have at least pretended to think about it a little longer.
When he realized he really was about to be taken to the restroom, Xiao Yanxi finally cracked.
The moment the rope snapped, he landed hard on his butt.
“Fine. The secret to clearing the Instance is actually very simple. You just have to properly process every company document.”
Rubbing his backside, Xiao Yanxi finally told the truth.
Fu Yiming remained skeptical.
“That’s all?”
Xiao Yanxi said, “How is that easy? What normal Player comes in here and starts reading documents?”
He was telling the truth.
Not every Player was a corporate executive.
Besides, everyone who entered was busy searching for clues. Who would walk in and immediately start holding meetings and reviewing documents?
With ghosts causing trouble on top of that, few people had the nerves for it.
Only Fu Yiming had both an occupational compulsion and obsessive tendencies.
The moment he arrived, he ignored everything else.
He immediately got down to work.
Everyone else was playing a Horror Game.
Fu Yiming, on the other hand, had turned it straight into The Sims.
Every day, he either held meetings or reviewed documents.
Hearing that the clearance condition was so simple, Fu Yiming relaxed slightly.
Even so, he did not let down his guard.
“Bring him too. Come with me to the president’s office.”
Fu Yiming headed toward the president’s office.
Xiao Yanxi stayed where he was, dragging his feet and refusing to move.
“Move.”
Yun Youyou kicked him squarely in the backside.
Xiao Yanxi protested self-righteously.
“I already told you the condition. Why won’t you let me go?”
Yun Youyou said, “I want to leave too, but I’m still stuck here, aren’t I?”
Xiao Yanxi tried to talk her into it.
“Then why don’t we escape together?”
Yun Youyou said, “Do I look like an idiot to you?”
Xiao Yanxi said, “Yes.”
Yun Youyou: …
She fell silent for a second, then kicked Xiao Yanxi in the backside again.
Xiao Yanxi clutched his butt and howled.
Five minutes later.
The two ghosts stood behind Fu Yiming, one on either side, watching him process documents.
Xiao Yanxi let out a huge yawn.
“How can anyone stand reading something this boring?”
Fu Yiming ignored him.
Bored, Xiao Yanxi turned to look at Yun Youyou.
