Chapter 1517: Chapter 487: Wen Xishu, the Working Emperor_2

Loan?

Come on, in this world setting, such errors wouldn’t manifest. In this world, the poor don’t even qualify for a loan.

Wen Xishu closely monitored the alleviation of his depression while efficiently adapting various works.

He was very fast.

[TS-74 has broken the fastest adaptation record within a single hour, with a work qualification rate of 100%.]

A banner appeared in the eyes of all Mechanical Bodies.

Wen Xishu did not expect himself to be so fast.

But soon, he figured out the logic.

Humans are the best at judging which part has used emotion. They can most feel the emotional parts.

If the adaptation is slow, the system will determine "human content" is too high, making it unsuitable for such work.

But the fact is... if the human content is too low, you can only calculate the consequences of the action and then determine whether it is reasonable.

Only humans can instantly feel some kind of burning, flowing sentiment.

When you love someone, there’s light in your eyes.

Wen Xishu could feel these, so he immediately started editing. However, other Mechanical Bodies wouldn’t focus on these but first calculate the interest variables brought by the action.

So Wen Xishu’s supervisor was alarmed by him.

A high-class mech equipped with a flying engine flew to Wen Xishu’s workstation at high speed and said:

"Damn it 74! Tell me, how did you achieve such speed! You’ve broken the company’s record."

"Because it was your order, manager. I just followed orders."

"Oh! Damn 74! You’re a genius; you should be my boss. I’ve never heard such a perfect response!"

Wen Xishu continued adapting.

He didn’t need to excel in the workplace because he only had seven days; he must find ways to earn a lot of money after overcoming depression.

Once depressed again, he would just go to KFC for a feast.

He constantly remembers his goal is to become human again and find a way to destroy the Mechanical Empire.

At this time, Wen Xishu noticed a gaze from a Mechanical Body falling on him.

Wen Xishu actually observed the surrounding Mechanical Bodies. He couldn’t discern much difference among them, even with his keen observation. They all seemed like a group of "low human content" advanced mechanics.

But Wen Xishu’s work just now heightened his sensitivity to human emotions to the maximum.

So he keenly sensed... a hint of the warmth of a "human gaze."

rc-19.

Wen Xishu found it.

In a corner workstation was a Mechanical Body labeled rc-19, looking at Wen Xishu with a human-like surprise in its eyes.

Wen Xishu captured it.

And when Wen Xishu looked along the gaze, the other party hurriedly avoided eye contact.

But then, Wen Xishu noticed that the other party made an action not in compliance with standard procedures.

He gently touched an almost invisible small dent on the edge of the workstation with his left ring finger, lasting 0.5 seconds.

[Detected non-standard micro-movement | Mode Analysis: Similar to human "praying" or "reminiscing" gestures.]

The other party had become completely indistinguishable from other Mechanical Bodies, so Wen Xishu couldn’t keep staring, as such behavior would be quite odd.

So Wen Xishu quickly dove back into his work.

But Wen Xishu noted this guy, always feeling the other party might be sending some signal.

...

...

Wen Xishu’s work efficiency was exceptionally high.

Incredibly high, especially as those literary and film works gave him an intense sense of déjà vu.

In the Three-Tower World, many works had echoes with many works from his previous life. This helped Wen Xishu quickly get into the state.

He worked only one day and completed the amount of work other Mechanical Bodies would need a month for, with sharp angles and all passing quality checks.

The so-called sharp angles meant Wen Xishu’s adaptation always maximized benefits. For instance, about Mr. Zhou and Mr. Zhang, some Mechanical Bodies felt Mr. Zhou should imprison Mr. Zhang in the basement...

But Wen Xishu’s approach was clearly of a higher level. This also predetermined that in the future Mechanical Empire cinemas, there would be many sensational films, making mechanical lives... especially those high-grade mechanical lives that like to imitate humans, exalted.

What Wen Xishu didn’t know was that he had startled the company’s higher-ups.

He was preparing to leave work while the higher-ups of the company—original shareholders of Eden Workshop, were in a meeting.

The meeting was roughly about—how could such a genius be buried? How to firmly control him within the company to continuously create high-quality works for the company.

Wen Xishu was unaware of this.

When leaving work, he encountered no obstacles, perhaps the only obstacle was that Wen Xishu had to overcome strong withdrawal symptoms.

The work has addictive mechanisms.

Fortunately, having experienced multiple Deceit Tower trials, Wen Xishu had a truly superhuman level of willpower.

...

...

It was night. On the first day of work, he got off directly at night, which was a very rare occurrence.

After Wen Xishu came out, looking at the colorful billboards of the Mechanical City, he just felt the night in the Mechanical City was much more brilliant than the day.

[Detected you are in a purposeless state; this is not commendable. Would you like us to find some amusement for you?]

Wen Xishu hadn’t been strolling long when a prompt immediately came up.

This prompt was quite timely.

He indeed needed to do something; he needed to earn money.
