Chapter 1175 - 366: The First Team Eliminated

After taking the medication, Clark already felt excitement throughout his whole body.

A multitude of formulas flashed through his mind, as if his mathematical ability had greatly improved.

He couldn’t wait any longer and was eager to start working.

But Zone A is different from other zones; Zone A is the most competitive area.

Soon, Yun Xinghe began the pre-work preparations.

"Yesterday we scored a total of sixty-eight points, adding my two points, we have seventy altogether. Not bad at all."

"However, some people did not perform well. A11, step out."

Yun Xinghe quickly started calling names.

A hunchbacked, sickly-looking middle-aged woman quickly stepped forward. Her belly was slightly swollen, revealing her pregnancy.

Yun Xinghe said:

"A11, your performance wasn’t great yesterday. You only worked overtime for one hour; you were one of the few who didn’t work two hours. Do you realize you’re holding us back?"

Yun Xinghe’s expression remained gentle, even his tone.

A11 said:

"I... I’m sorry."

Yun Xinghe continued:

"Everyone spent twenty points to strike down team c. Do you know that these twenty points were exchanged with people’s lives!"

"Now, you are punished to do twenty push-ups, publicly."

"Also, everyone from team A11, do them together."

The pregnant A11 shed tears of humiliation, but still dropped to the ground, struggling to do push-ups.

She didn’t dare to work overtime too much because after working overtime, her Life Value deducted five points. She was afraid, afraid it might affect the child in her belly.

Luckily, twenty push-ups aren’t too many.

After A11 and her four teammates finished, Yun Xinghe’s expression appeared even more gentle, but his words were still manipulative:

"A11, you are about to become a mother; the Three Towers Company is very likely a completely safe haven."

"Do you want your child to die here with you? Or continue wandering in the apocalyptic world?"

"You might think I’m cruel, but if I’m not cruel now, how can we win against them?"

"Remember, this is a score-oriented team. Without scores, how can you be hired?"

Everyone unknowingly agreed with Yun Xinghe’s words.

Inside A11, there was fear, but she also felt... everyone around her seemed to be tamed; they were as excited as wolves going hunting.

"Take note, it’s the second group and the fifth group, huh, you two groups, even though there are overtime maniacs who have done six full overtime hours. But your contribution score is the lowest."

"Now, both groups step out."

Ten people, five per line, stood in two rows.

"Next, you will slap each other across the face and then berate yourself, saying ’I am trash’. I want to hear your cries, want to hear the sound of slaps."

Slap!

"I am trash!"

Someone started shouting loudly.

Soon, someone returned the slap harder and louder. The person showed some anger in their eyes:

"I am trash!"

Slap slap slap, the sounds of slaps and shouts of trash began to overlap each other.

This is Zone A.

Suddenly, Clark remembered, once back on Wall Street in the Free State, when he was selling medical insurance... he went through similar things.

In fact, even in the days leading up to the apocalypse, many companies were still promoting the so-called wolf culture.

But later, wolf culture seemed to lead to strange tales and bizarre phenomena.

At this very moment, he felt again, Yun Xinghe was using wolf culture to tame these people.

Those with low sales performance, end up disgraced in public.

This scene made him somewhat uncomfortable, but people around him even started clapping because Yun Xinghe started clapping. So everyone followed suit and started clapping.

Amid laughter and cheer, this twisted punishment finally ended.

Gradually, everyone was stained with a sense of aggression.

Especially the two groups that were slapping each other, there was a feeling of wanting to use scores to defeat the other.

Clark finally began to work.

The four teams finally ushered in the second round of fierce battles.

It’s just different from Zone c, Clark felt he seemed to enter a state of selflessness!

Flow state?

He wasn’t sure, but all the work was done very quickly, and time passed very fast.

It seemed he only worked for a short time, but in fact, hours had passed, and he had already efficiently completed several hundred math problems.

It felt great. This feeling was fantastic.

He suddenly felt, this is the area he wants to reach!

Here, work becomes a pleasurable thing. He can work overtime, crazily!

The loss of Life Value might bring some negative feelings, but at this moment, Clark already felt his own value.

His dr value was actually rising wildly.

...

Many people think their work brings happiness, either richly rewarding or because certain personal beliefs give the work extraordinary meaning...

But in the real reality, most work is actually meaningless.

Just like a group of survivors in the apocalypse, solving math problems has no meaning to the apocalypse.

On the first day, Yun Xinghe saw the job was actually solving math problems and wondered why such an insignificant job?

This type of work surely makes people feel bored, right?

So he instantly realized, to make work meaningful, to give these people a sense of mission, it requires brainwashing them, making them believe the work they are doing is meaningful and valuable...
