Zongman: I am on the set of Oregairu, playing the role of Bai Xue

The other party seemed to say something.

But Beinuo could hear nothing. Even though they were only three meters apart, the sound could not be transmitted.

Lin Dao scratched his head awkwardly, "I haven't met new people for a long time, and I almost forgot the process."

He opened the system directly in front of Beinuo.

Two seconds later.

A prompt popped up in front of Beinuo's eyes.

[You have received a special friend request, please process it in time. ]

There was a hint of doubt in Beinuo's eyes. He didn't understand why the other party added him as a friend in person.

But there's nothing to hesitate about.

Click to confirm!

[You have successfully added a management friend...]

[Ramgiya Lindao has initiated a "cross-time and space dialogue" with you, please promptly...]

agree.

"You didn't hear me just now, let me say it again." Lin Dao turned his gaze to Bei Nuo, "Nice to meet you, newcomer."

The system quickly integrated the other party's language, and Beinuo finally understood what he meant, and replied in a friendly manner:

"Hello."

Even though Lin Dao's tone was relatively friendly, Beinuo was not completely relieved.

It is difficult to achieve sincere and effective communication between people who meet for the first time, let alone the other party is in a high position. No one knows how much time the other party has experienced and how many worlds he has crossed.

Compared to Beinuo, the newcomer, Lin Dao is definitely a veteran, and scheming and deception are probably easy for him.

Even so, Beinuo came here.

Because the system's annotations have described it this way:

[Outside the recording studio, all employees cannot interfere with each other, cannot die, and any behavior that hurts each other is prohibited...]

Beinuo read this annotation carefully for a long time.

In the eyes of the system, all employees are probably its property. No matter how powerful a particular employee is, all of these forces are subject to mandatory management.

Therefore, Beinuo does not have to worry about personal attacks, unless the system is a decoration, or the other party can override the system, but this possibility is very small. If it is really that powerful, there is no need to beat around the bush.

At least within the limitations of the system, employees can communicate peacefully with each other.

But apart from the use of force, what remains is verbal deception.

Beinuo hopes for friendly exchanges, but whether this can be achieved depends on the other party.

"You seem a little wary." Lin Dao was very insightful and saw through Bei Nuo's thoughts at once, "But it's useless..."

Useless?

Bei Nuo was worried that he had overlooked something.

Lin Dao just smiled lightly, and then told Beinuo the information that he had not yet mastered.

"Using system dialogue, lies can be identified."

"..."

Bei Nuo was stunned for a moment.

Identify lies? This means... that it is impossible to deceive, but how far can the system go? Lies and deception are not so easy to define.

"The system is very good at identifying people's emotions, which are most obvious when asking questions. Let me give you a direct feeling. Next, I will ask you a question. You can mix in false information. Of course, you can also ask me a question, but I'll go first."

Lin Dao smiled and spoke slowly, "How do you feel about the film set you're on? Do you care a lot? Or do you not care? Whatever you say is fine."

This is more than one question, right?

Bei Nuo was a little helpless, but after thinking it over, he decided to do as the other party said, mixed with some lies, "I don't hate the current set, but if conditions permit, I want to go to a more interesting world, want to gain more popularity, and see the vastness of the world."

Lin Dao nodded, and then responded on the spot: "Except for the first short paragraph, the rest is a lie. Well, about 'gaining popularity points', there are some half-truths and half-lies."

Bei Nuo was secretly surprised because the other party was absolutely right.

Especially the part about "wanting to gain popularity", he does have this intention, but it also contains a kind of helplessness, that is, helplessness about work indicators, so it is a mixed blessing.

I didn't expect this to be recognized.

"Okay, it's your turn to ask." Lin Dao took out a cigarette from his pocket. "I'll smoke first. You can't smell it anyway."

Bei Nuo waited quietly for a while.

When Lin Dao lit up the cigarette, Bei Nuo suddenly felt that the person in front of him looked familiar, so he asked:

“Why can’t I smell smoke?”

Lin Dao exhaled a puff of smoke. "Because the two studios are separated by the system, you should be able to see a gap in the floor. That is the barrier of the world. Smoke cannot float through it, and the sound cannot be transmitted either. That's why we need the help of the system to communicate with you. But as long as you are strong enough, you can still barely cross it."

When Beinuo heard the latter part, the system directly gave a prompt:

[The last sentence of Amamiya Rindo is completely unreliable. Please listen carefully.]

It turned out to be the case.

The system can indeed detect lies.

Lin Dao held the cigarette between his hands. "You should understand, as long as both parties use the system to communicate, there will be no fraud. This is a measure taken by the system to reduce ineffective communication. Although it can still deceive some people with the help of special powers, it is meaningless. You can open the friend interface to verify it."

Beinuo mobilized his consciousness and entered the friend interface.

The relevant information about Amemiya Lindao appeared before him.

Removing some invisible content, the most conspicuous thing is his credit rating.

【Trust: Very high.】

[Raimiya Rindo had deceived other employees 372 times in XX years, and obtained the forgiveness of the corresponding employees 371 times...]

Beinuo was slightly surprised that the system actually recorded all these things.

But why is there one less forgiveness?

He didn't know whether he should ask or not, and there was some confusion in his eyes.

"You should have noticed that there is one less forgiveness." Lin Dao directly put the topic on the table, "That is a forgiveness that can never be obtained, because--"

"That person has disappeared."

There was not much emotion in Lin Dao's tone, as if he was just stating a fact.

But what followed was a deeper doubt.

"Aren't employees unable to die?" Beinuo raised this contradictory question.

Lin Dao shook his head and said, "Employees will die. Most of them are slowly walking along the river of death."

"..."

"But before that, I will explain the screening mechanism of the system to you first." Lin Dao looked at Bei Nuo calmly, "I can call you Bei Nuo, and you can just call me Lin Dao, because we will talk for a long time next, and I hope you can keep up with the pace. If you have any questions, I can basically answer them."

Bei Nuo slowly breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded, "Of course, Lin Dao."

When he realized that there was nothing false in this communication, his inner vigilance was greatly reduced.

Although he still didn't understand the other party's true intentions, Bei Nuo was able to talk to him seriously, which was probably the effect the system wanted to achieve.

The system's dating function can be regarded as real dating, which cannot be deceived and the information is retained, which is enough to avoid a large number of contradictions and conflicts.

Just as Lin Dao said, "reduce ineffective communication" so as to speed up the progress of cooperation. For the system, it is also for employees to improve their work efficiency.

The two sides underwent a brief adjustment.

The question and answer session between seniors and newcomers finally began.

"Beino, you know the world of Oregairu very well, right?"

"Yes."

"Then you like that world."

"Can I not answer this?"

"of course can."

"Lin Dao, you seem to know a lot about my information. Is this the authority of the management?"

"It's only a part of it. It's more about experience and accumulation. The reason why I think you understand "Oregairu" is actually because the system deliberately did it."

"……What's the meaning?"

“The first script that all newcomers participate in must be the story that they know best, without exception.”

"Hmm... Is this to improve efficiency?"

"There's nothing wrong with this view, but this is not the main purpose of the system. Let me continue to explain... People don't learn about a story in detail for no reason. The more detailed the story is, the more people will like it. You should agree with this."

"I agree. It is precisely because I am interested that I will try to understand it carefully."

"That's right. The system uses this to screen new people. The so-called 'temporary worker' status is a test. Setting work indicators is an assessment task. You should know the consequences of failure."

"Is it a problem to be forced to play a passerby role in 500 scenes?"

"Yes, whether they are temporary workers or regular employees, as long as they are alive, they will continue to be tested by indicators, and those who fail to meet the indicators will die."

"Wait, why did you die?"

"They died because their soul strength was reduced. The employee's entity is their soul. Every time they perform, they slowly consume their soul. The system will not wait for the employee to finish 500 performances, but will directly disperse their soul to various worlds to serve as fuel for the world."

"…Are there any exceptions?"

"Yes, there was once an employee with outstanding acting skills who used a large amount of popularity points to increase the strength of his soul, and then deliberately accepted punishment. However, his ending was not good. Even though he returned to the 'city' to recuperate, he still died soon after."

“What happens if an employee dies?”

"All traces of the deceased employee will be erased, and the system will confiscate all his property. Only those who knew him will remember the story he participated in, because the mark on the link will also be cleared."

"..."

"Let me talk about how most newcomers fail. First of all, the popularity store is the easiest to tempt people. Physical enhancement, mental enhancement, and super power enhancement are all important factors for newcomers' failure. These powers need to be controlled by employees themselves, so once they are over-enhanced, it is very easy to cause 'material damage'."

"I can probably understand... These enhancements will give people a sense of superiority. Once people have mastered power, they will unconsciously look for opportunities to show off."

"Haha, you know this feeling very well, right? Or rather, newcomers always have a feeling that they are stronger than others. Unfortunately, once you fail to grasp it properly, 'material damage' will follow. Newcomers must use 'time rewind' to correct it, but newcomers' accounts cannot withstand squandering."

"Well, in addition to strengthening, the popularity value itself is also very attractive."

"Yes, the popularity store is actually equivalent to... Do you know the 'King's Treasure'?"

"know."

"That's good. I thought this item was not very popular. But now that you know, the Popularity Store is actually equivalent to a degraded version of the King's Treasure. After all, it can include everything in the world. Newcomers are very likely to be obsessed with it. In order to collect rare treasures, they ignore the recording of the original materials, and the consequences are naturally not good."

"Because the system only cares about the material..."

"Not accurate. The system only cares about gaining popularity points. The material is just one of the factors."

"What about the 'deviation value'?"

"We'll talk about this later. I need to tell you the system's strategy first. Remember what I said just now, the newcomers are very familiar with the first scenario, right? Removing the failed newcomers will become fuel, and the successful newcomers will also be harvested by the system."

"Could it be, 'broadcasting rights'?"

"Hmm? Beinuo, have you unlocked it? Or did you just guess it?"

"It unlocked. It took me a while to unlock it."

"Hahaha! Great! I really didn't misjudge you. Since you already know about the broadcast rights, the next topic should be what you care about most. The broadcast rights are difficult to unlock without a prompt. Even if they are unlocked, they probably can't be purchased because newcomers tend to spend their 'deviation gears' in advance, resulting in the inability to purchase the broadcast rights. You are similar, right?"

"If I try harder, I should be able to buy it."

"what?"

"Is there a problem?"

"If you want to buy it, how much is left?"

"Ten gears."

Lin Dao fell into silence and put out the cigarette in his hand, as if he was thinking about something.

Beinuo waited quietly for his next words.

After a while.

Lin Dao suddenly asked, "How's your luck?"

"Well, that's not a good idea. After all, I died young." Beinuo really didn't know how to answer. Could the system test his luck?

"Nonsense, all the employees here are the same." Lin Dao touched his chin and continued to ask, "What is your multi-time coefficient?"

"Coefficient? The one that calculates popularity? Let me take a look first... Is there a problem with the coefficient being 1.92?"

"You're lucky, kid!" Lin Dao's eyes flashed with unspeakable joy. "What's your target?"

"Which target? There are three in my work email. 1.8 million has been completed, and now we need to complete 3.7 million."

“Three, three?! Good, very good… Great!” Lin Dao exclaimed directly, without any so-called “management” authority. Although he did not show a similar aura from beginning to end, this actually reflected his degree of surprise. After all, his employee experience is real.

Beinuo was confused. Are these three indicators worth being happy about? The system was clearly increasing in strength like crazy.

"Beinuo! To be honest, I originally wanted to help you get the right to broadcast the second season, but now I have changed my mind. You must be a little unwilling."

"What do you mean?"

"I'll finish what I just said. After most of the newcomers record, do you know what will happen to them?"

Bei Nuo thought for a moment and responded, "It should be... reluctance. After all, that is the world I know best, and all the memories of my experiences will make me attached to it."

“That’s right! It’s worry!” Lin Dao’s voice rose several decibels, and there was a kind of anger in his tone. “After the newcomers finish recording, the system will seal that world, and then—”

"Hang it in the employee's popularity store!"

Beinuo's whole body trembled and his scalp suddenly felt numb.

Lin Dao's eyes were filled with gloom. "And its price is the value of the work indicator, but the number of views above..."

"Replaced with popularity value!"
