Don't follow the rules

Chapter 447: Haojiu Home Furnishing City (Twenty-three)
"Don't be so stubborn." Bai Yunyou was very dissatisfied with Liang Feng's stubbornness. "Rest when you need to. You work so hard. What do you want to achieve with the help of this company? Are you having difficulties in life? Tell me."

"I..." Liang Feng originally opened his mouth to try to refute or explain something, but he firmly closed his mouth under the other party's worried gaze.

Ning Yao spoke up to help her out: "Ahem, this is confidential, don't ask so many questions."

Bai Yunyou continued to ask unwillingly: "Xiao Feng, I really don't understand, what on earth are you insisting on doing here?"

Liang Feng just looked away guiltily.

After a long conversation, Gao Yang, who had not participated in the conversation, could not help but yawn. He raised his hand and said, "I'm so sleepy and want to take a nap. Sister Feng, do you have a staff lounge? I don't want to lie on the bed in the model room. Many customers have tried it."

Liang Feng's face became even more embarrassed: "There is a staff lounge, but it's actually just a small room for storing backpacks and changing clothes. There are no seats or beds..."

Gao Yang couldn't believe it: "Then how do you rest normally?"

"Except for going to the staff cafeteria to eat, the rest of the time is spent on patrol. We... don't have special rest time." Liang Feng lowered her head. She could feel that Bai Yunyou beside her was about to explode with anger.

"How can this be justified in the world?!" Bai Yunyou stamped his feet, "Are you going to let me live?"

Yu Min continued to speak steadily: "Your boss should be hanged."

Gao Yang also shook his head repeatedly: "No, sister, aren't you tired at all? I've been strolling here since this morning, and I'm exhausted from walking and stopping all the time. You've been working a solid whole day."

Yu Min: "Working from 7:30 in the morning until the early hours of the morning, 17 or 18 hours, is a serious violation of the labor law."

Liang Feng lowered his head and dared not say a word.

"Everyone, please wait a moment." Ning Yao finally found an opportunity to interrupt them.

"I think the most important issue right now is not the labor law, but how did Sister Feng manage to do this kind of work?"

"Hmm?" Liang Feng raised his head.

Ning Yao: "Just like Yu Min said, if you work 17 or 18 hours a day at a high intensity, even a machine will get tired. This is not something that can be offset by your subjective will. The damage to the body caused by long hours and high intensity work is an objective fact."

"But you seem to have told us more than once that you didn't feel tired at all, that you could handle this kind of shift, and that you didn't seem to be trying too hard."

Ning Yao deliberately stopped talking here, narrowed his eyes and looked at Liang Feng. Under the shadow of his brow bone, his eyes became almost imperceptibly clear, and his sight became more penetrating, as if he wanted to see through her to see the operating principles of the employee work mechanism behind her.

Yu Min, who didn't understand what was going on, quickly continued his words: "That's right, this is totally unscientific. Even if a normal human being is forced to endure this kind of work intensity, he will definitely feel exhausted."

Gao Yang was already thinking: "Sister, have you undergone some kind of cyber transformation? Mechanical ascension?"

Liang Feng: "...Don't be too outrageous." "Sister Feng, you said that you had led us to escape once before. Can you tell me in detail how you did it? Did you lead us to find other tally clerks?" Ning Yao asked.

"No," Liang Feng directly rejected the plan they had made before. "Don't even mention the stockists in other areas. In fact, until the end, you couldn't find a stockist in the living room area other than me. No matter where I hide or how far I run, the final list will choose me to handle your damaged goods, so the method of breaking the red label will not work."

"Then what should we do..." Ning Yao was very curious. In addition to obtaining the inventory list of each area, was there any other way for all of them to pass through quickly?

Liang Feng gave a straightforward answer: "Use a garbage truck. It's simple, but a little sloppy."

"Garbage truck?" everyone asked in unison.

"Tsk," Yu Min was the first to laugh. "I thought it was some brilliant plan, but this is too perfunctory, isn't it? Using this blind spot object that most people wouldn't notice to achieve the purpose of moving the body is just a cliché from low-brow mystery novels."

"Garbage truck?" Ning Yao raised his eyebrows. "What a familiar routine. I vaguely remember that someone seemed to be planning to do the same on a certain large ship..."

"But that's not right," Gao Yang quickly reacted. "Even if a large group of us can hide in the garbage truck, when you push us out, we will still be reset to the starting point of the living room area. There is no way we can be pushed out of the mall directly."

"That's right," Yu Min agreed, "We're not hiding from ordinary guards or policemen. We just need to hide from their sight. We are trapped by the 'rules of the game' here. These rules are like a brand on us. We can't leave the living room without answering the questions on the barcode scanner correctly. Hiding in the garbage truck can't cover up our game attributes."

"Of course it's more than that simple." Liang Feng explained.

"Hiding in the garbage truck and being pushed out by me is only the last step of this plan. There are still some preliminary tasks to be completed."

"Please explain in detail." Ning Yao and the others couldn't help but urge.

Liang Feng didn't keep the secret: "First, I need to strip you of your identities as [temporary quality inspector] and [customer]."

"Well, I can understand terminating our status as temporary quality inspectors, but how do you get rid of the identity of 'customer'? In a shopping mall, except for the mall staff, aren't all others customers?" Yu Min felt like she was being confused.

Gao Yang also tried to analyze the situation: "Why do we have to strip them all? Can't we just strip them of our identity as quality inspectors? If we can just strip them of our identity as ordinary customers, we can go out with other customers."

Bai Yunyou seemed to be thinking: "Maybe it's because we won the Easter egg as customers, and 'temporary quality inspector' is probably a subset of the larger identity of 'customer', a 'special customer', not an option on par with 'customer', so it's hard to separate it out, right?"

Yu Min still couldn't figure it out: "If we are not customers, what else can we be?"

Liang Feng pulled out her pair of scissors from her work clothes pocket. "In addition to [staff] and [customers], there is of course a third identity in the mall, and this identity accounts for the largest part of the entire mall."

Ning Yao stared at her scissors: "What is your identity?"
