“I’m introducing you country bumpkins to the advanced management system from my hometown.” ←Torina
“Can’t understand a word, what’s the point of making it so complicated?” ←Lanifi & Lindas
“This is a highly efficient management strategy that can accurately reflect everyone’s work output and reward them accordingly.
The harder you work, the more money you can earn~” ←Yin Xiao’s Torina
“But we’re all working for you.
No matter how hard we work, you’re the one who benefits in the end, right? No matter how nice it sounds, you still earn more than us, and we’re just at your mercy.” ←Anna-veil
“And how do we measure if our work is hard enough? Isn’t it still up to you to decide…” ←Naji
“Don’t worry, we have a strict evaluation system.
We implement an 8-to-7 work schedule, and as long as you meet your targets on time, you can earn an average performance bonus.
Plus, if you complete challenging goals in your spare time, you can earn overtime pay—double on regular days, triple on public holidays.” ←Motherly Smile’s Torina
“Sounds like you’re just tricking people into working more.
Is this really okay?” ←Patty
“Still can’t understand, this stuff is so complicated.” ←Lanifi & Lindas
“It’s obviously meant to confuse people.
As long as you can use complex terms to baffle them, you’ve achieved your goal~” ←Laxis
“How despicable~~~!”
Seeing their skepticism, Torina felt quite a headache.
Tsk, these people aren’t fools.
It seems the nonsense that big companies used to mess with people in her past life doesn’t quite fit in this other world.
“Um, Torina?” Milora poked her, speaking shyly, “I think this isn’t really good, even though it’s efficient… I believe you’re not that kind of person, right?”
“Milora…” Torina felt guilty hearing this.
Such a good kid, how could she bear exploit her?
Besides, in her past life, Torina was overwhelmed by those things, her mind filled with nothing but work, work, work.
After reincarnating in this other world, using those things to mess with others would be too wicked, wouldn’t it? How would she be any different from those capitalist bosses?
Thinking of this, she deeply repented and tearfully said, “Alright, I went too far! How about adding meal and transportation allowances on top of this? Plus three days of annual leave and a team-building event once a year!”
“……………”
Even Milora’s gaze turned cold towards her.
Team system reform—big failure!
…
…
…
“I think, instead of doing all this unnecessary stuff in our small team, why not inspire everyone’s passion for adventure? We’re an adventurer group, after all.” Anna-veil commented sharply.
“Um…”
“And we have so few people, why not try recruiting more? Or quickly find a few more challenging high-difficulty dungeons? Or focus on improving everyone’s combat skills?”
“But I fear I don’t have that much time.
Recruiting new people requires time to adjust, and tackling a dungeon can be a project lasting from a few months to several years.
Even if we want everyone to become stronger in a short time, it might be… huh?”
A light bulb seemed to light up above Torina’s head.
“Milora…”
She cupped Milora’s face, gazing at her delicate features.
Milora Sistema.
The berserker of the desert, master of the stars, keyholder, the strongest Adventurer, grand general, master of an endless harem, eternal king of the north, great savior—these are the identities she would have in the original story.
Look at that, how grand, how mighty, how impressive.
Even though she’s completely cut ties with the system, the protagonist’s luck won’t disappear because of this.
As long as she’s given the opportunity and space to grow, her future will be limitless.
If she can be nurtured… wouldn’t she be able to openly stick with the berserker of the desert, master of the stars, keyholder, the strongest Adventurer, grand general, master of an endless harem, eternal king of the north, great savior?
If there are other found but temporarily unused cheats, they can also be given to other team members to make everyone stronger, wouldn’t that be wonderful? Hehehehehehehe!
So, Torina looked into Milora’s eyes and seriously said, “Milora, would you entrust your future to me?”
“Eh!?!?!”
Milora’s face turned bright red, stammering and unable to say a word, only able to make incoherent sounds.
“How can this be—” Anna-veil was about to protest—
“Anna-veil, please entrust your future to me too!”
“Okay!!!!!—Wait, what are you suddenly saying?”
“Everyone, please entrust your lives to me! I will make you the strongest in the world, I have that confidence!”
“………”
“Hmm? Why are you all making that face?”
“Don’t say things like that as if you’re proposing!” Milora raised her small fists and knocked on her head.
“You said you’d make everyone the strongest? What do you mean by that?” Laxis asked with interest.
“I have some… um, ‘information,’ about various… magical skills, powerful equipment, and such, including their locations and how to use them.
We can find them and arm ourselves with them.”
“…Boss, with all due respect, are you sleep-talking?”
“No, I’m very awake.”
“Didn’t eat any strange mushrooms, did you?”
“No, I’m very serious, and I’m planning to verify my guess… Next stop is… north! We’re heading to the dungeon Niflheim in Starfall Mountain, which is managed by the Deville family! Pack your bags, we’re leaving immediately!”
“Um, leader…”
“The things you asked us to make have just started.”
“We can’t leave for now.” Lanifi & Laxis & Lindas raised their hands.
“…Alright, then the others—”
“I can’t go,” Naji also raised her hand, “Starting tomorrow is the fasting period, and for the next half month, I have to pray at the temple every day.”
“Why are you so devout in a place like this… Alright, then the others…”
“I want to go! I can’t trust you and Milora alone!” Anna-veil immediately stated.
“I’ll go too, it sounds interesting.” Patty smiled sweetly.
“Alright…”
In the end, only Torina, Milora, Anna-veil, and Patty set out, forming a four-person team to face a not-so-unknown challenge.
The others were either making equipment, praying, doing their own thing, or practicing swordsmanship in seclusion.
What a united adventurer group.
