"I finally got the junior manager tag."
Bronze, low-level, newbie, beginner. Korean men who can tolerate being called a retard but can't tolerate being called bad at games hate these words. Hyunwoo was also constantly bothered by the fact that he was a 'junior' manager.
Thinking about it, it's funny. Now, it feels like getting promoted to manager in the work system is more important than getting promoted at the company.
But ironically, it's actually much more important. Even if you get promoted, your salary will only go up a little bit, and unlike an employee or supervisor, you only get a lot of work to do. It was natural for Hyunwoo to be obsessed with manager in the work system.
"Um… My first promotion was… Yes. It was when I ate Seo Jin-ah."
※ Work instructions (employee level)
[Use psychological messages to have sex with a female employee with a charm point of 7 or higher. [You must complete it within one month from the date of the work instruction.]
[3 points awarded upon success]
[3 months salary cut upon failure]
Thinking about it, it was a really beggarly [work instruction]. You should eat the liver of a flea, but you can't touch the salary of an office worker. An office worker's salary is a 'small and precious' thing that must be protected until the very end.
'No way...'
A sudden feeling of anxiety. That...is that so?
[Please check the work instruction items.]
Hyunwoo suddenly feels the urge to mute the system notifications that are babbling as if there was a system error, and activates the [work instruction] item. Then he sees a new instruction that has not appeared in a long time.
※ Work instruction (assistant manager level)
[Use the psychological message to complete the conquest of a female employee with a charm point of 8 or higher. Must be completed within 3 months from the date of the work order.]
[1 point awarded upon success]
[Dismissal upon failure]
"Dis...dismissal!"
In the neighborhood next door, they were reprimanded for making billions of won through land speculation. Isn't that too much? System gentleman.
"And why was the reward reduced? It's clear that when you were a beginner, you were given 3 points. Isn't this a more difficult [work order]?"
[The beginner reward is good in the original game, right?]
"No, so this is a game?"
[Weren't you enjoying it like a game?]
"..."
Hyunwoo silently closes the strangely irrefutable system alarm and checks his [status window].
[User Lee Hyunwoo]
[Rank: Intermediate Administrator] - new!
[Age: 29] [Height: 177] [Weight: 68]
[Physical Strength: 4/10] [Charm: 3/10] [Stamina: 7/10] [Leadership: 4/10]
[Remaining Points: 3] - new!
[Remaining Employment Contracts: 95]
[Monthly Additional Salary: 3,012,000 Won]
[Employment Contract Items Unlocked.]
"Hehehehehe"
Hyunwoo couldn't help but smile happily as he saw that he had 3 points left in [Remaining Points], even though he was angry because of the beggarly [Work Instructions].
'Should I focus on physical strength? I didn't know I would be treated like that by Choi Hyunmin back then.'
Hyunwoo, who realized the importance of [physical strength] after being beaten by Hyunmin, suddenly feels drawn to [physical strength].
'No, is it [charm]?'
Despite being so good to Kim Hye-ri as a mentor, Hyun-woo's ordinary, if not too ordinary, appearance must have played a big role in not receiving any attention. However, if he had [charm], he would be able to go around flirting with women without having to do anything like manipulating [psychological messages].
'No. What fun would it be to eat women like that?'
What fun would it be to eat women with a parasitic brother-in-law's appearance? Hyun-woo had already used the work system to get a lewd tattoo on Seo Jin-ah's butt, and made Kim Hye-ri masturbate in front of an anonymous man she didn't even know through random chat.
That's not all. He created a deviant account and uploaded naked pictures of that arrogant Eun-seol. Although her face is covered, her body seems to be quite hot in the community, as it is being spread everywhere.
Can these acts be considered increasing [charm]? It's absolutely impossible. It's fortunate that she doesn't go to the police station.
What if you get hit a little because you're physically weak? Is it a shame to have an ordinary impression? It's better to not stand out. That way, you can control the female employees at the company as much as you want.
In the end, [Leadership] was the answer for controlling many female employees through the work system, and [Stamina] was the answer for enjoying a variety of sex lives.
"Let's go with [Leadership] and [Stamina]!"
If there was a stat like [Intelligence] in the system that could upgrade Hyunwoo's somewhat inferior brain, it would have been the 1st pick, but that doesn't exist in the work system.
Hyunwoo, after reaching a conclusion, invests one of his remaining points in leadership without hesitation.
[Leadership: 5/10] - new!
[Leadership] was absolutely necessary to carry out the new [Work Instructions] he received after being promoted to [Intermediate Manager].
"Now, you can register one more person in the [Female Employee] tab."
He decides to keep the remaining 2 points for a possible situation and checks the newly unlocked [Employment Contract] when he becomes an [Intermediate Manager].
[Employment Contract]
Work Cooperation - B must carry out all work-related instructions requested by A. Provision of Money (5% of monthly salary) - B must provide A with a portion of his salary. (Number of possible contracts +10) Report on private life - A can request B to report on his private life unrelated to work. Private gathering - A can request B to have a private gathering unrelated to work. (Number of possible monthly gatherings +2) Slander - Spread groundless rumors about other employees to the target. (Somewhat high trustworthiness) - new!
???(lock)
???(lock)
"Wow! This is it. This is it. Why did this come out only now?"
As he was promoted to [Intermediate Manager], the number of people who could provide money and the number of possible private gatherings increased, but Hyunwoo could only see the fifth [Employment Contract].
The newly unlocked [Slander] was like a cheat key for the hellish politics of the Joseon Dynasty. Isn't this a total scam?
The company didn't have that many employees, but dozens of rumors were born and disappeared every day in the lunchroom, tea time, smoking room, female employee lounge, and conference room. The company was truly a battleground for the endless fighting of the mouth fighters.
Of course, no matter what company you work for, there is no place where there are no rumors that slander a specific person or have no basis. However,
"Yeah. Our company has gone a bit too far with gossip."
Hyunwoo is not staying quiet at the company for nothing.
Due to the nature of public service in public institutions, people cannot be evaluated based on clear achievements or performance. Therefore, the main factors for judging promotions are reputation and connections within the company. Civil servants also evaluate the people around them when giving performance evaluations.
In the end, promotions in the company are carried out in a fundamental way such as
'How is he?' 'Oh, his reputation is good?' 'Then let's do that person.'
You think it's a joke? This is the 21st century? Surprisingly, it's true.
This kind of stupid promotion system has contributed to establishing a beautiful(?) company culture where all kinds of slander and rumors never stop.
However, if there is [slander], Hyunwoo can create public opinion within the company as he wants. In other words, it's not a big deal to make a single person a retard. Even Goebbels, who did all kinds of instigation next to Hitler, wouldn't even be able to hand out a business card.
"Good, good. I guess I can grind mentality to dust."
In order to manipulate the [psychological message] of the female employee, [Slander] is a very, very, very useful [Employment Contract] because [Mental] has to be reduced to the lowest level.
"If I just have this, new [Work Instructions] are like chewing gum."
Promotion to [Intermediate Manager], remaining points, new [Employment Contract]. Hyunwoo's confidence skyrocketed thanks to the successive rewards. Did they say to pull out the bull's horns in one go? In order to choose the female employee to target right away, he searches only for female employees in the [Manager] section.
"Hmm..."
"Hmm..."
"Huh...?"
"..."
Hyunwoo checks the attractiveness level of each female employee. However, his confident face gradually turns ashen.
Thump!
And Hyunwoo, who had been continuously looking at the list of female employees, nervously throws his smartphone on the bed.
"Fuck!"
"Isn't this a total bug and a total mess?"
He finally starts yelling and swearing.
That's right.
There are no female employees in Hyunwoo's company with a [Charm] score of 8 or higher.
.........…..
"Fck fck f*ck...."
"A bug and a mess... a mess and a mess...."
"It's a fire, a mess, a mess, a mess, a mess~"
"Ahahaha, I'll be free in 3 months~"
Every office worker has a dream of quitting their job. For Hyunwoo, that dream is now 3 months away.
"Hey. How do I break this?"
He holds his smartphone in his hand and asks the work system.
However, the annoyingly nagging message just a moment ago disappeared like a lie. This situation feels like a dream to Hyunwoo.
'Is the karma stack that has been building up until now exploding like this? The world is still worth living in. I am being punished like this. It's the good that punishes the evil.'
"I should have lived a good life... It's too late to regret it now, right?"
What if Kim Hye-ri's virginity had been delayed a bit? And what if she had been targeted while still a virgin? Hye-ri was a female employee with the charm of 8, who existed in the only work system. Of course, it has clearly become a thing of the past now.
No. What if I didn't know the work system in the first place? I could have just watched some porn after work and lived happily ever after with my right hand.
Should I look for a job at another company right now? I'll be thirty next year, so is there a company that would hire a door-dock instead of a public servant?
Gulp
"Haa"
Hyun-woo, who had lost his mind due to shock, gulps down cold water to come to his senses. Only then did he come to his senses to some extent and begin to find ways to achieve the terrifying [work order] that would result in dismissal if he failed.
"Tell Kim Ji-young from the HR team to only hire pretty women?"
It's impossible. In this day and age, if you hire someone based on their looks, they'll be featured on the front page of the newspaper the next day. And you can't hire a new employee in three months. You have to keep posting job advertisements for a month, saying things like fair hiring.
"You hire hundreds of interns. Won't one of them get hired?"
The chances of an intern are slim as well. Let me say it again: In this day and age, there's a hiring process for interns, and how can you hire a woman with an 8 charm when there's no photo or distinction between male and female on resumes?
"If she's an 8 charm, she's definitely prettier than Seo Jin-ah, Eun-seol, and Kim Hye-ri, so shouldn't she be at the level of a semi-celebrity?"
"How do you get a woman like that into a company? And in three months?"
Hyun-woo sat on his bed for hours, mumbling and searching for a solution, but no realistic method came to mind. In the end, the method he chose was.
...........
'Seo Jin-ah, I clearly told you to show your husband the tattoo and send him a video of his reaction.'
'My husband is on a business trip every day these days. When he gets home tomorrow, I'll definitely...'
'By tomorrow. If you don't send it by then, I'll storm into your newlywed home, whether Byung-joo is here or not. Got it?'
'Yes...'
The order Hyun-woo gave after tattooing a lewd wing-shaped tattoo on Seo Jin-ah's back. After realizing that she still hasn't sent the video a few days later, he immediately sends her a messenger and threatens her.
That's right.
If you can't finish the quest, wouldn't it be better to just enjoy the game until it's game over?
"Yeah. Let's enjoy the last 3 months. There's no way I'll get another chance like this in my life. I'll try everything I've never tried before. Hahahahahahaha."
Hyun-woo was in a mode where he would enjoy it if he couldn't avoid it.
