Chapter 1100: Chapter 946: The Self-Cultivation of Working People

A diligent worker always knows how to adjust their mindset, among which is the principle of maintaining regular hours and sufficient rest, never letting fatigue and stress accumulate to the next day.

Song Lan was just such a person physiologically inclined to routine.

A sound night’s sleep was enough to toss aside the events of the previous day, big or small.

After arriving in The First Region, he indulged in a rare lie-in, breaking the record he had created for himself of consecutive days of punctual attendance.

However, in a sense, reporting to the Counter-Intelligence Department was also a way to defend the United Government’s security, so it shouldn’t really be counted as skipping work but should be considered as being on a business trip.

When Song Lan arrived at the Counter-Intelligence Department building on his bicycle after lunch, the staff here had already launched into a busy work session. The cramped offices were in stark contrast to the splendor of the building from the outside, with each person’s desk roughly only five cubic meters.

A desk, a computer, and a mountain of electronic manuals seemed to make up the daily life of a Counter-Intelligence Department employee.

Through the translucent bulletproof glass, Song Lan could see the hustle and bustle inside: work documents, coffee, anti-fatigue medications, and other aids to keep them constantly efficient.

Once you’ve completed several hours of high-intensity work, you can catch your breath, inject yourself with an anti-fatigue serum, and then dive into the next task.

At the end of the corridor was Lu Xiang’s office.

The size of the Counter-Intelligence Department director’s office alone spoke volumes about the position’s value. Upon entry, Lu Xiang was sitting in front of her desk, her back to him, with half-eaten snacks on the table, which she had prepared and stored in the fridge beforehand.

She was facing a holographic projection, which was comparable to the small screens in a private cinema.

"Did you wake up?"

Lu Xiang wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth and stretched.

Like everyone else in the department, she had just wrapped up the morning’s work—a Review Meeting via video conference, with Military Intelligence Section Seven and the Counter-Intelligence Department as the main players, conducting detailed discussions on the incident that occurred the previous day with military technology.

They had temporarily refrained from taking action against Zero, the lead of the project team. After brief questioning, she was let go, but at the same time, her daily communication devices had become the focus of surveillance. Simultaneously, a new mission was handed to both departments.

To ascertain the origins of "Overload IV."

Despite Zero’s claim that it was an upgraded version of the Overload system, a result of the project team’s countless efforts and hundreds of failed attempts, a product of military tech development, the Chairperson of the Council clearly wasn’t convinced by her explanation.

For the whole morning, she was besieged by an unimaginably large amount of information. No wonder cybernetic augmentation is a mandatory course before joining the company. Given the capacity and processing speed of the human brain, even the best memories are insufficient for this workload. Neither corporations nor the United Government would ever allow for data errors by the staff.

A single mistake in memory could lead to losses in the millions for the department.

Lu Xiang turned around and sized up Song Lan, who still seemed a bit dazed, and she couldn’t help but sigh that if Song Lan were to lead these critical departments, within a few days, the company might face the risk of bankruptcy.

In her view, the H1 model was more akin to a security firm—probably one of the few job models that do not deal with large amounts of information or data and still generate a high return. The only downside is the industry’s rather short average lifespan. Few manage to save enough money to leave this line of work, and a slight misstep could lead to death on the job.

Of course, the United Government also has certain departments notorious for their losses.

Such as Military Intelligence Section Seven.

The intelligence personnel from Section Seven need to handle vast amounts of information and often perform high-risk tasks.

During her time in The First Region, Lu Xiang finally understood the biggest difference between the two departments.

Compared to Section Seven, they were more like clerical workers, dealing mostly with internal affairs. Unless necessary, the headquarters staff rarely traveled for work, and most of their tasks were completed sitting in the office. The only potential threat to life was overwork and death.

"Yep, had a good night’s sleep."

Song Lan yawned.

After sleeping more than ten hours the previous night and getting ample relaxation and pleasure, he inevitably faced some side effects—at least for him, sleeping too much would lead to lethargic feelings, like now, lacking the drive to do anything.

His gaze drifted around the room before resting on Lu Xiang’s computer screen, then he made a surprising discovery, "You’re online shopping while working?"

This was normal in H1, but coming from the famously conscientious and responsible Lu Xiang, it was quite shocking.

"Yeah, this is the most popular cybernetic augmentation inquiry site."

Lu Xiang didn’t deny it, "Mainly for cybernetic augmentations that enhance waist performance. They say sitting too long in the office can cause waist injuries, so I’m also looking into augmentations for future needs."

According to internal statistics from the Counter-Intelligence Department, besides the essential operating systems required for work, the first body parts most people choose to augment are those related to the waist, with 85% having waist augmentations. The remaining 15% are a minority who have fieldwork duties.
