Chapter 585: Successfully Securing a High Plague Doctor Position
“……”
Lynn (ー`´ー) said, “No one’s willing?! Such a glorious task, and not a single one of you is willing?!”
The entire room stiffened, too scared to utter a single word.
Glorious? Glorious my ass!
The entire room stiffened, too scared to say a single word.
Because even if she was a Mechanical Girl, she was still a machine!
What difference was there between that and having your way with your tractor?!
And they wanted people to watch!
They actually wanted people to watch!
Even Doctor 315, sitting on his throne, had a stiff expression, feeling a chill gust blow through his prostate, his palms trembling slightly.Lynn swept his gaze across the room, then fixed his burning eyes on Doctor 315 and said, “Doctor?”
Daybreak instantly jolted all over.
What are you looking at me for?! Why are you staring at me with that scorching gaze?! There are so many people here, why do you have to look at me?! I’m the boss—how could I possibly do something like that?!
But he still maintained a dignified expression, coughed lightly, and said, “I’m old, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be up to the task…”
“No, I mean, Doctor, what do you think of my plan?”
“…”
A brief silence.
Doctor 315 woodenly glanced at the reactions of those around him, coughed awkwardly, and said, “Uh… the plan is a good plan, but isn’t it a bit…”
Losh’s (Lynn’s) direct superior wiped the cold sweat from the back of his neck and added, “Isn’t it just a bit too depraved?”
The surrounding Plague Doctors nodded up and down, drenched in sweat.
Sure, they were Plague Doctors.
Sure, they embraced the philosophy of chaos.
Sure, they often did many evil things—flesh and blood modifications, spreading plague and panic, killing and inflicting pain.
But…
Compared to the plan he had just proposed, they felt like maybe they weren’t so irredeemable after all, like they might still be salvageable…
Because live-streaming… uh… getting intimate with a machine…
Was that really something a normal person could come up with?
“I also think it’s a little depraved.”
“Isn’t this a bit too evil…”
“If this gets spread across the Sight, wouldn’t our Plague Doctors’ glorious reputation be ruined in one go…”
The surrounding Plague Doctors voiced their opinions, sweating profusely.
Because it was just too vile!
Too vile!
But Lynn paid no attention to the voices around him, his gaze still fixed intensely on Doctor 315 as he said solemnly, “Doctor, it all depends on you. One word from you, and this plan can be set in motion at any time! If you don’t trust anyone else, I, Losh, am willing to take full responsibility! I guarantee I’ll deliver a perfect result to you, Doctor!”
Doctor 315’s eyelids twitched wildly, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly as he said, “The plan is indeed a good one. So you’re saying you’re willing to play the role of that Lynn and personally… assault that machine?”
Lynn turned his head and looked around, saying, “Of course, if anyone wants to volunteer, I’m actually not…”
Instantly.
All the surrounding Plague Doctors widened their eyes and shook their heads like rattles.
“No! No! Absolutely not!”
“Let this squad leader do it!”
“We wouldn’t dare to snatch such a great honor!”
In just two seconds, all the Plague Doctors unanimously fell into line. It could be said that, for these Plague Doctors who worshiped chaos, this was definitely the fastest-ever unanimous agreement in history.
Seeing everyone around acting humble and deferential.
Lynn’s expression turned serious. He adjusted his mask, cupped his fists, and said, “Doctor, if you think highly of me, then I suppose I’ll have to take on this mission myself! Rest assured, as long as you give me the authority to coordinate and command, I’ll make sure those two little invaders don’t get to go back the way they came!”
The atmosphere was already at its peak.
Doctor 315’s eyelids twitched wildly.
Because if you removed all the depraved factors and looked at the plan with objective, fair eyes, it was indeed a pretty good, viable plan.
If he could really suppress that mechanical entity because of this,
Make the God of All Machines and Sir Aiwen turn against each other,
And then pin the blame on that Night Doctor Lynn,
It would definitely kill two birds with one stone.
But…
Wouldn’t this completely ruin the Plague Doctors’ image of being powerful and mysterious?
After carefully considering for several minutes, Doctor 315 finally made his decision. Hoarsely, he looked at Losh (Lynn) on the screen and said, “Alright! Since you have the heart and are willing to put in the effort, then I’ll grant you First-Class Plague Doctor authorization right now! For this period, you can commandeer all resources within the Leviathan for your use!”
“As long as you can successfully carry out your plan and annihilate those two invaders, I’ll not only reward you—I’ll also promote you to become the eighth executive officer of this division, making you an elite among elites!”
As soon as he said that.
The surrounding Plague Doctors were greatly shocked.
And Lynn immediately dropped to one knee, cupped his fists, and said solemnly, “Thank you for your high regard, Doctor! Then I’ll add one more condition—if I, Losh, fail this mission, I’ll come with my head in hand and let you do with me as you please!”
[Ding! Daybreak’s favorability toward you +10]
[Ding! Daybreak’s appreciation toward you +10]
[Ding! Daybreak’s appreciation toward you +15]
Accompanied by the constant System notifications in his ear, Doctor 315’s aged face revealed a gratified and resolute smile. He squinted and said, “Good! I never imagined that within my Leviathan, there would be such an outstanding rising star like you. Then the matters regarding those two invaders will be entirely in your hands!”
And as soon as he finished speaking, a System prompt sounded in Lynn’s ear.
[Ding! You have triggered a mission: The Plague Doctor’s Recognition!]
[Mission Objective: Successfully execute your plan, playing the role of Night Doctor Lynn, and complete the corruption of the Mechanical Girl!]
[Mission Reward: Black Skull Coins x10, Basic EXP 20,000, Daybreak’s Trust +40, Title: Executive Officer x1]
Lynn’s expression was serious. He fiercely cupped his fists and said solemnly, “Thank you, Doctor! I, Losh, will never let you down!”
…
A few minutes later.
Under the shocked gazes of his subordinates around him, Lynn stared with dead-fish eyes and cut off the connection to the First Chamber.
And with the writhing of the flesh-and-blood walls, several items sent from the First Chamber clattered out, wriggling as they appeared.
[Ding! You have obtained: “Leviathan Eighth Executive Officer” Appointment Letter x1]
[Ding! You have obtained: “Leviathan First-Class Personnel Authorization” Flesh Chip x1]
[Ding! You have obtained: “Eighth Executive Officer’s Unique Plague Doctor Equipment” x1 Set]
As the appointment letter dropped, Lynn stared with dead-fish eyes, pulled out a pen, scribbled his name on it, and casually tossed it to the dazed subordinates beside him.
Those Plague Doctors (꒪Д꒪) caught the appointment letter, stared blankly at the handwriting on it, and were completely blown away.
“It really is an appointment letter…”
At that moment, they felt like they were living in a dream.
How the hell was their squad leader so awesome?!
Could it be that all his cautious, careful behavior in the past was just an act? That their squad leader was actually a diamond in the rough, not rising because he was stockpiling, but now about to shoot straight up to the heavens in one go?!
Just a small video conference!
Just by seizing on that small matter of the Bio-armament Factory’s corruption and the “Your Mom Is Gone~!”, he had directly secured such a high-ranking and important position from the Doctor…
A triple promotion.
No! A quadruple promotion!
No! A quintuple promotion!
“Squad leader!!”
They trembled, almost wanting to offer up their knees.
At this moment.
Their admiration for their squad leader was like an endless, surging river!
No wonder the Doctor said that gold shines wherever it goes—even if it falls into a cesspool, as long as it sparkles, even all us shitstains can bask in its glow!
So awesome!
Truly awesome!
Even if they had even a shred of their squad leader’s skill, they wouldn’t be stuck at the very bottom forever, just small-time employees their whole lives!
Lynn said flatly, “Don’t worry. You were my lackeys before, and you’ll definitely be my big lackeys in the future. Once I finish this mission and solidify my position, you’ll all be my trusted confidants!”
As soon as he said that, those trembling subordinates fell to their knees with a thud.
“Yes! Lord Squad Leader!”
“Hm?” Lynn glanced sideways.
Those subordinates were immediately overjoyed and said, “No! Lord Executive Officer!!”
[Ding! Your prestige +10]
[Ding! Your prestige +20]
Truly, when one person attains the Dao, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!
Those subordinates o(╥﹏╥)o were moved almost to tears.
Indeed, to get a promotion, you didn’t need to look at whether you worked hard—if you followed the right person, even if you were a pig, you’d be a stamped, certified pig. The squad leader’s sudden rise had even let them, the pigs, bask in his glory!
Truly, a truly capable person, no matter where they were placed, was still a truly capable person!
At that moment, any lingering doubt about their squad leader’s sudden change in style was instantly swept away by this immense surprise and excitement.
