Chapter 1 Uniform

　　Zi Qing handed Su Mo a set of white shirt and black trousers uniform.

　　"This is the group's uniform. The company stipulates that you must wear this during work hours. Change into it, and I'll wait for you in the living room outside."

　　"Okay."

　　Su Mo took it, replying with some fatigue.

　　After a while, Su Mo washed up, changed his clothes, and walked out.

　　As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and makeup makes the beauty.

　　Having changed out of those rustic clothes, Su Mo looked quite handsome, at least meeting the minimum standards for being a kept man.

　　The only fly in the ointment was that Su Mo was a little listless, his head still feeling dizzy.

　　She said to the somewhat listless Su Mo, "There's congee for breakfast, come and have some. We should leave later, but before that, I have something to tell you."

　　"Thank you."

　　Su Mo politely thanked her and walked to the dining table to sit down.

　　On the table was a bowl of hot congee, along with some broth and a little bit of pickled vegetables.

　　Su Mo ate a little congee, and immediately felt much better in his stomach, and his head became much clearer.

　　Zi Qing sat across from Su Mo, tapping the table with her finger, and said to Su Mo very seriously, "Don't be so honest in the future. If Han Na asks you to drink, then you drink. That girl is a wine barrel, basically no one can outdrink her, but your alcohol tolerance is also good, you were actually able to drink with her to that extent."

　　To be honest, Zi Qing was also very surprised that Su Mo, drinking for the first time, almost knocked Han Na out.

　　"Okay, I understand."

　　Su Mo nodded in response.

　　Zi Qing then said to Su Mo, "You're new here, if you're short of any daily necessities, there's a large supermarket at the entrance of the residential area, you can go there to buy them."

　　"Thank you."

　　Su Mo thanked her gratefully.

　　"Don't be in such a hurry to thank me, I still have something to tell you."

　　"Go ahead."

　　"You've also seen that the four of us are girls. Although the three of them are a bit abnormal, they're still girls after all. It's a little inconvenient to suddenly have a boy living here. So, let's agree on a few things first. As a rule, you can't enter the rooms of the four of us girls. If you have anything to say, say it in the living room."

　　Zi Qing said solemnly to Su Mo.

　　"Okay."

　　Su Mo didn't think anything of it. The bedroom was a personal space anyway, he was very introverted himself and didn't like people entering his room, so he quite agreed with this.

　　Zi Qing continued, "Also, areas outside the bedroom are all common areas. We take turns cleaning up, and since you're here, we'll include you in that. As for meals, we also share the costs, and everyone pays for their share of the food. If you're willing, you can also join in."

　　"How much is it?"

　　Su Mo raised his head and asked. Although Zi Qing seemed like she was hard to talk to, she was actually taking good care of him.

　　"200 yuan a month, eat first, and we'll collect the money when you get paid at the end of the month."

　　Zi Qing saw that Su Mo was dressed a bit old-fashioned, and probably guessed that Su Mo didn't have much money, so she put off collecting the money until later.

　　"Okay."

　　Su Mo nodded repeatedly in agreement.

　　"Also, no bringing people home, whether male or female, unless you have my permission. This isn't employee housing, this apartment is my own. I'm only not charging you rent for Zi Nuo's sake, otherwise with your meager salary, you probably wouldn't be able to afford it after deducting the compensation."

　　"I understand."

　　"There's nothing else special. Later, you'll go to work with us, and there will be someone to take you through the onboarding procedures and arrange your work. I'll give you a little personal advice, keep a low profile, and don't do anything wrong that will give people a handle on you. I don't need to say more about the specific reasons, right?"

　　"Understood."

　　Su Mo humbly accepted Zi Qing's advice.

　　After Zi Qing finished her instructions, she stood up and walked towards the doors of Zi Die's and the others' rooms.

　　She knocked on each door, calling out.

　　"Get up."

　　Before long, Han Na came out with swollen eyes, wearing her uniform. Because her figure was exceptionally voluptuous, her clothes were a little tight, and she complained.

　　"Why get up so early?"

　　"I told you yesterday not to drink so much. You have to go to work early this morning, and there might even be sudden missions."

　　Zi Qing frowned slightly and warned her.

　　"It doesn't matter, the guild hasn't gotten us any battleship-class weapons yet, so there won't be any real combat missions, at most it'll just be training missions."

　　Han Na didn't care at all. She walked to the dining table, squatted down, reached into the beer box, and groped around, pulling out a can of beer.

　　Su Mo listened to their conversation and became more and more interested in the guild. He knew that most players were struggling to survive, but they had already started to acquire large-scale weapons, so he asked curiously.

　　"Is our guild developing well now?"

　　Han Na pulled the tab, opened the beer, took a sip, and looked extremely refreshed.

　　"You don't know? The guild is developing super well now. We've not only occupied more than a dozen bases, but also more than a hundred mining areas, and other scattered resource areas."

　　"Oh."

　　Su Mo nodded. It seemed that joining this guild wasn't such a bad thing.

　　At this time, Zi Die and Zhang Wenjing also came out, both of them having changed into formal clothes. One looked even more adorable, while the other was full of intellectual charm.

　　They walked over, picked up their bowls and chopsticks, ladled a little congee, sat down, and ate quietly.

　　Zi Qing said to them, "Don't go home immediately after work today. Our naval warfare department needs to hold a small meeting. It won't take too long."

　　"Ugh, another meeting? It's already hard enough to work, eight hours of work, which is eighty hours in the game, it's just killing me, and now we have to have a meeting. Zi Qing-jie, how can you be so heartless?"

　　Han Na looked at Zi Qing pitifully.

　　"I don't care."

　　Zhang Wenjing replied very coldly.

　　Zi Die tilted her head, looking unhappy, and said, "Training every day, but no actual combat is boring, and meetings are even more boring."

　　"Isn't the game quite fun?"

　　Su Mo replied subconsciously.

　　Hearing Su Mo's words, Han Na and the others looked at him in disbelief, speechless for a long time.

　　"If it weren't for the money, I guess not many people would be willing to go in and risk their lives."

　　Han Na explained to Su Mo.

　　"What's so dangerous about this game?"

　　Su Mo was even more confused.

　　"You're not serious, you went in to play without knowing anything?"

　　Han Na looked at Su Mo in amazement.

　　Zi Qing simply explained to Su Mo, "This game is risky. Although nothing will happen in reality when your game character dies, when your mind is strongly impacted and collapses, your real-world mind will also collapse. You might become an idiot or a mental patient. In severe cases, you could suffer brain death or become a vegetable. It's not like these things haven't happened before."

　　"Oh, I understand."

　　Su Mo thought for a moment. According to what Zi Qing said, there were indeed certain risks.

　　"Okay, hurry up and eat. We have to leave after eating. If we're any later, there will be traffic on the road, if you don't want to be late and have your full attendance bonus deducted."

　　Zi Qing glanced at her watch and reminded them.

　　Hearing Zi Qing's words, Zi Die and the others quickly sped up their eating. No one wanted to mess with their money.

　　After a while, Su Mo and the four of them arrived at the parking lot downstairs.

　　"Get in the car."

　　Zi Qing opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat.

　　After Su Mo and the others got in the car, Zi Qing stepped on the gas and sped away.
