What is the 996 work system?
It is a [super] humane work system where you work from 9 am to 9 pm, six days a week.
Based on the premise of surviving on the earth, Lu Yuan felt that allowing these heretics to work for him for such a short period was simply a great act of kindness.
There was no one as [kind] as him in Orario!
However.
This extremely [benevolent] work system was ultimately rejected by Fiel.
Instead, a 5-day work week with 2 days off, which Lu Yuan was not very satisfied with, was implemented.
Furthermore, the time for the heretics to help Lu Yuan explore the dungeon and collect materials each day could not exceed 8 hours.
"Anyway, you guys were just idle before, can't you grit your teeth and persevere with 996?" Lu Yuan complained.
"Why don't we agree? Fiel doesn't seem to have much time left either. Lu Yuan is carrying so much for us," Leid turned his head and tried to persuade Fiel, seeing Lu Yuan's unhappy expression.
"If the 996 work schedule isn't arranged so tightly, I think I can totally support it," Lei echoed.
In order to live on the surface openly and legitimately.
Lei felt that Lu Yuan's conditions weren't too excessive.
Of course, it would be even better if they could set their own 12-hour workdays instead of being fixed from 9 am to 9 pm.
"No way!"
Fiel unhesitatingly rejected the traitorous behavior of her two friends.
"In short, we'll implement the 5-day work week with 2 days off as I said, otherwise, I'll make Leid and the others slack off!"
Fiel glared at Lu Yuan and said.
996?
She knew Lu Yuan too well.
Five years ago, when Lu Yuan asked her to help like this, he said the same thing.
And what happened in the end?
Didn't it turn into 896, 8,10,6, or even 8,11,7.
Anyway, she would absolutely not agree to Lu Yuan continuing to exploit her, or even her friends.
A 5-day work week with 2 days off, and 8 hours of work per day was already the limit Fiel could accept.
"Well, whatever, who told us we're good friends? A 5-day work week with 2 days off it is."
"However, in that case, I'll have to retract the Best Employee Award I promised you."
Spreading out his hands, Lu Yuan said to Fiel with a face that was as amiable as possible.
They were all free labor, even if they only worked 4 hours a day, he wouldn't be at a loss.
If Fiel knew what Lu Yuan was thinking right now, she would definitely spit out two mouthfuls of blood and curse Lu Yuan, this inhumane capitalist.
Okay.
Actually, after hearing that Lu Yuan was going to retract her so-called [Best Employee Award], Fiel had already started cursing in her heart.
Perhaps she shouldn't have missed this former [friend] of hers...
After the discussion, things became much simpler.
Due to Lu Yuan's recruitment, the heretics quickly packed their things, planning to follow Lu Yuan's instructions to go on an expedition with his team first, and then become affiliated with the Hestia Familia, living on the surface.
"Hmm... I feel like I've forgotten something... Well, maybe it's just my imagination."
Lei, who was the last to enter the gate, first glanced back at this temporary gathering place, smoothed the hair on her forehead, and after worrying for a while, finally left.
......
The end of the 19th floor of the dungeon.
The entrance to the 20th floor.
With the arrival of the heretics, the members of the three major allied familias all became restless.
"It's hard to imagine that there would be so many heretics that Lu Yuan spoke of, even more than all of us combined. Hasn't anyone at the Guild noticed?" An Amazon member of the Artemis Familia exclaimed.
"However, so many heretics are actually willing to be taken in by Lord Lu Yuan, that's the charm of the Lord!" Holding her chest, Kaguya admired as she looked at Lu Yuan's back.
"I wonder if the Goddess will be angry that Brother Yuan helped the Familia take in so many heretics," Bell said with some worry, compared to the curiosity of the others.
"I think if there were fewer beauties in the heretic team, Hestia-sama wouldn't have any objections," Lilli said truthfully, "Also, Bell-sama should pay attention to your situation now and stay away from Lord Lu Yuan."
Bell: "......"
"Alright! Everyone, all the elements have been gathered, so next, let's all work together to conquer as far as possible into the depths of the dungeon within 5 days!"
Standing in the very center of the team, watched by everyone, Lu Yuan raised his arm and shouted.
"Ooo!!!"
An explosive cheer erupted.
Under Lu Yuan's command, everyone began to advance towards the 20th floor in an orderly manner...
21st floor, 22nd floor, 23rd floor...
Because of the guidance of the heretics, some unnecessary side paths with few resources and few monsters began to be abandoned by Lu Yuan.
The efficiency of the expedition was greatly improved.
All the way to the 24th floor.
Due to the increase in monster strength, the previous team mode began to change.
In the end, Lu Yuan decided to continue the conquest in the form of three teams, and the 40+ heretics were divided into three parts.
Each part was attached to a familia to continue guiding the team forward.
"The monster strength will gradually increase. If you encounter danger, remember to open the signal item I gave you, and I will rush over to save you immediately!"
24th floor.
Lu Yuan earnestly reminded them one last time.
The three teams were reorganized in a shuffled manner.
Lu Yuan, Alfia, Arie, and Ryu Lion each led a team.
Among them.
The weakest were led by Arie and Ryu Lion.
Plus Leid, Lei, and Gros, the three heretics comparable to , were each in a team.
The safety of the three teams was actually very guaranteed.
The reason why Lu Yuan still reminded them so earnestly was just to make everyone be careful.
After all, there would be situations called anomalies in the dungeon.
It's never wrong to be careful.
"Understood!"
"Don't worry, Lord Lu Yuan!"
"Haha, leave it to us, Lu Yuan-chin~~"
Everyone responded.
However.
Just as everyone was preparing to part ways and continue their adventure.
Vienne, who had been silently following behind Lu Yuan, suddenly let out a muffled groan.
Immediately afterward, Vienne covered her ears in great pain.
"Some, someone is crying, very, very painful..." Vienne closed her eyes, squatted down, and said intermittently.
"Hmm!?" Hearing Vienne's words, Lu Yuan's expression sank, and he quickly thought of something.
"Are we going to continue according to plan? Or..." Alfia walked to Lu Yuan's side, glanced at Vienne, and said meaningfully.
"Someone is touching my employees, touching my assets, touching the assets of the Hestia Familia. I can't pretend I didn't see this blatant act of provocation..." The corners of Lu Yuan's mouth curved into a wicked smile, and he said in an extremely villainous tone.
Alfia nodded at Lu Yuan's decision and said, "Decided?"
"Of course," Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow.
"However, before that, let's play with them for a while. From hope to despair, they will like the gift I send..."
