Work Prophet

In the following week, Li Yu didn't see Taylor again. It was said that she left Dream Island shortly after they controlled the giant squid for the hunt that night.

Speaking of which, Li Yu, previously using the [Uncertain Life Simulator Beta Version] for simulation, had also encountered a board member while on vacation.

This time, he arrived on the island a month earlier and still met Taylor.

Li Yu wasn't sure if this proved that Taylor specifically came to the island to find him. After all, the previous simulation results were vague, mentioning only a board member without a name.

Li Yu also couldn't confirm if the person coming a month later would still be Taylor.

However, he was certain that Taylor was interested in him.

Li Yu was puzzled. Although he was doing quite well in the Third Era, gaining a significant amount of faith within less than a year, he was only a P6 after all. Was it necessary for a board member to be so attentive?

Even the[Glory of the Dead]suit was practically a gift from Taylor under the guise of a reward.

However, Li Yu and Taylor had no personal relationship, so there was no reason for Taylor to be so attentive.

Moreover, the events of that night left a strong impression on Li Yu, marveling at the power of the faith-based technology owned by the Third Era.

This company, previously known for its low profile, had somehow gained a terrifying power capable of ruling human civilization.

With just the technology of consciousness attachment, the Third Era could covertly swap out national leaders with their own people overnight.

Li Yu even suspected that the Third Era had already done this, otherwise why would countries be completely unaware of such a dangerous existence?

But from the Third Era's way of doing things, they seemed to abide by the rules even more than normal companies.

Li Yu couldn't quite understand what Taylor and those people intended to do. Initially, he thought the five directors wanted to use the power of faith to achieve immortality.

That was almost the ultimate goal of all those with power throughout history.

However, as he realized that the mysterious countdown might be more important than he imagined, Li Yu's previous assumptions began to waver.

After all, it was impossible for the five of them to agree to die together. Recalling the recent scientific direction of the Third Era, Li Yu felt that he was close to the final answer, only missing a thread to connect all the clues.

Li Yu was not one to meddle in others' affairs; as an employee, he never delved into the secrets behind the company.

Staying observant and silent was always the golden rule for survival in the workplace.

Whether it was a boss fabricating invoices to embezzle kickbacks, or a secret office romance where both parties were married, or someone getting paid yet never showing up for work...

As long as it didn't affect Li Yu's job, he wouldn't say a word.

Moreover, the Third Era provided him with excellent benefits, freeing him from the muddled and numb state he was in previously, starting a brand new life, and he recently even had a romantic life.

However, from the first day, Li Yu was very concerned about the countdown behind the reception desk.

For some reason, it gave him a sense of urgency.

Who left that countdown? Even Taylor, a board member, did not have the authority to remove it. What will happen when the countdown ends?

Li Yu couldn't help but think about such things.

After meeting Taylor this time, Li Yu became even more curious about the answers to these questions.

He used his remaining vacation to finish reading the last book in the 「Three Body」 trilogy, 「Death God's Immortality」.

Then he bought many gifts at the island's shopping center and asked Ralph to send them back to City B.

Li Yu himself also flew back, specifically a day ahead, so as not to be in a rush.

Before leaving the airport, Li Yu checked his salary card. Thanks to the miraculous victory and the Wing Tribe's defeat in the Western Territory, his income for this month had reached two hundred thousand.

Moreover, in the coming months, it should only increase.

Currently, stories of Solomon disregarding warnings and incurring the Sabbath's Divine Punishment were circulating in the Western Territory, shifting the public's perception of the Double Rest Sect from initial resistance and doubt to admiration.

Attracting new blood wasn't difficult; now, the only limitation on Li Yu collecting faith was the total number of Sabbaths.

But even so, in about half a year, he could convert almost all the believers in this land. When a large number of new Sabbaths graduated from schools, the number of people preaching wouldn't be lacking.

On his first day back at the company, Ma Yuhan and the others didn't give much reaction since Li Yu had informed them before leaving.

He had been gone for just over a week, and the company was now on track, with everyone busy with their own tasks even in his absence.

The only issue was that without Li Yu, no one could proceed with signing contracts. After returning to the office, Li Yu quickly glanced at the background check reports in his email, which numbered around four or five.

Fortunately, there weren't too many, and Li Yu didn't have time to go through them in detail. He promised Miss Rabbit he would return in a month, and seeing that the time was near, it was almost time for him to go.

So, Li Yu walked toward the end of the corridor but then remembered something and went downstairs to tell Zhang Yanlin.

"I bought some local snacks and treats during this vacation. They should arrive in a couple of days. Please distribute them to everyone for me."

Zhang Yanlin nodded and asked, "Do you want to send a portion home?"

"Hmm, sure, then leave a portion for me," Li Yu replied and went back to the second floor.

As for the gift for Miss Rabbit, he had brought it back himself.

The people around the Lady also noticed she seemed somewhat absent-minded during this time, frequently counting on her fingers and gazing expectantly at the sky.

Lovers wish to be glued to each other every minute, and spending even half a day apart feels unbearable, let alone a month.

Miss Rabbit's reaction was relatively mild, given that she had plenty of things to keep her occupied and wasn't constantly thinking about someone.

But as the reunion time approached, the young lady started experiencing insomnia again, attending meetings and seeing guests with dark circles under her eyes, resisting yawns.

However, the three armies had achieved their pre-determined goals and successfully met at Songshi Castle four days ago. The Lady looked at the map, with the only remaining unconquered territory being the small area occupied by Ilkand.

And to be precise, Ilkand had sent envoys to discuss terms of submission, but the young lady had unhesitatingly refused.

Mainly because Ilkand was the direct murderer of Marquis Kuren, and this alone was enough for the Lady to reject their surrender, even if Ilkand was willing to offer up his brother and stepmother.
