Chapter 593 - Corruption Rule
Chapter 593: Corruption Rule
After the system became +3, it received two new functions. One was [Decomposition] and the other was [Fusion].
Su Yang had tried [Fusion] before, which was to fuse two special items together. Previously, he had also used a piece of biscuit to merge with [Lethe’s Porcelain Bowl] to form a new special item, [Special Small Bowl For Calcium Milk Cookies]. It even gave birth to a Fusion Ability.
This very special item had been lent to Tang Xiaomi by Su Yang to increase her learning capabilities. Well… It was mainly to quickly improve her mathematics capabilities.
‘I did read the introduction for [Decomposition], but I’ve never tried it before.
‘Based on the introduction, it says that I can decompose two abilities from a special item. However, I will need to actually try it before I know the details of how it is operated.’
At that thought, Su Yang turned on the system and clicked on the [Decomposition] function.
As Su Yang clicked on the [Decomposition] system, a notification popped up in front of him.
[Please choose a special item that you would like to decompose.]
Then, the notification disappeared and the special items in front of Su Yang lit up with red frames, as if reminding Su Yang that he could choose them.
Su Yang chose the drop of [True Water Of Yin And Yang] in front of him without hesitation.
After Su Yang chose it, another notification popped up in front of him.
[Please choose the decomposition method].
There were two methods of [Decomposition]. The first was to return the Random Points, while the second was to separate the abilities. Naturally, Su Yang chose the latter option.
After he made his choice, the system showed a third notification.
[The special item chosen has two special abilities. Please choose the ability to decompose.]
At that moment, two interfaces popped up in front of Su Yang. The two abilities of this item were written on the interface.
The first was the [Neptune Divine Oil] and the second was the [True Water Of Yin And Yang].
Under the name of the abilities were detailed introductions of both abilities.
Su Yang clicked on [Neptune Divine Oil].
Su Yang thought that by choosing that option, he would be able to decompose it. He did not expect the system to have another option instead.
[Please choose whether to decompose this to become its Ability Core, or decompose it into two special items.]
‘Eh? It can still be differentiated like this? I can even decompose a special item into two?’
Su Yang clicked on it to check the difference.
As a result, he realized that it would take only 1,000 coins to decompose it to become its Ability Core, but it would take 2,300 coins to decompose it into two special items.
‘It seems like splitting them into two special items requires more money.’
However, Su Yang remembered that the [Fusion] option could be used as long as Ability Core was used. Hence, he did not hesitate to decompose it to become an Ability Core.
After that, in the blink of an eye, Su Yang confirmed his choice and had his coins deducted.
A moment later, Su Yang felt a glimmer of light and a sparkling ball appeared in his hand.
[Ability Core: A core that contains a special ability. It can be fused with any item and it can store the ability in its ability core.]
The ball looked like it was only the size of a ping pong ball and it looked very cute in Su Yang’s hands. However, it was different from ping pong balls. The ball was completely transparent and it was shimmering. It looked like a crystal ball that could glow on its own.
Su Yang played with the ball. It felt soft in his hands, warm and comfortable. ‘If I have such a thing during the winter, I wouldn’t even need gloves.
‘However, it’s a pity that I’m about to merge it with the [Upgraded Talent Printer].’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang turned off the [Decomposition] function and activated the [Fusion] function.
Just as he was about to shut down [Decomposition], he suddenly noticed something strange.
‘Eh? Why was there a red frame around the [Ability Core] that’s in my hand? Could it be that I’m still able to continue decomposing?’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang clicked on [Ability Core].
As expected, the [Decomposition] function popped up in front of him.
[The item chosen is an “Ability Core”. Decomposing an “Ability Core” will completely destroy this ability and obtain different “Rule Elements” according to the type of ability.]
‘[Rule Elements]?
‘What is this?’
Su Yang clicked on it curiously.
Immediately, the introduction of [Rule Elements] popped up in front of him.
[Rule Elements: A product after an Ability Core is broken down. It only carries a portion of the rules of the special ability. It will not cause a qualitative change in the special ability. Instead, it will only add rules onto it.]
‘Eh? This looks interesting.’
Su Yang looked at the rules again.
After a glance, he realized that there were many rules. There was the [No Cost Rule (negates the price to pay for using special abilities)], there was also the [Infinite Rule (which can change the number of times an item can be used from a limited number to infinite), there was then the [Consumable Rule (which can make an item edible)] and so on.
Su Yang’s eyes lit up. ‘This is exactly what I need right now!
‘Although it would completely damage a special item, but once it’s broken down into a suitable [Rule], I wouldn’t have to worry about any consequences and while strengthening the [Talent Printer]!
‘Previously, I was worried that if I directly integrated two abilities, it would cause a huge change in the ability of the [Talent Printer], which would then become an ability that would be useless to me.
‘However, now that I have [Rule Elements], I’m so relieved!’
Su Yang clicked [Confirm].
[Decomposition successful, 3,000 coins deducted.]
Su Yang was speechless.
‘F*ck, this is a scam! You f*cking system! Not only have you destroyed my special ability, you’ve actually charged me so much money!’
Su Yang scolded the system as he looked at what sort of [Rule] had he received after being charged so many coins.
He lowered his head and actually saw two eggs, two glowing eggs.
Su Yang picked up the eggs on the floor. ‘Two eggs? Two [Rules]?’
Su Yang clicked on the interface of the two eggs and instantly, the introduction of the two [Rule Elements] appeared before him.
[Corruption Rule]
Rule: Fusing this rule into a special item can allow a special item to possess the “Corruption Characteristic”. Then, it will be able to corrupt other items and make them yours to replenish your energy.
[Liquid Rule]
Rule: Fuse this rule into a special item and it can change the shape of the special item and turn it into liquid.
‘The second rule is useless, but the first rule could be used by the [Talent Printer]!’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang turned on the [Fusion] system and fused the [Contamination Rule] and the [Upgraded Talent Printer].
After 2,000 coins had been deducted, a brand new mini printer appeared before Su Yang.
Su Yang opened the printer’s interface and took a look. True enough, he was not disappointed! He had really succeeded!
The rest of the printer remained the same. Only [Restriction 3] had been changed from [This printer has only 99 prints left. There is no way to increase the number of prints temporarily. Please use it cautiously.] to [This printer has 99 prints left, but it can assimilate 10g of mercury every day and increase the number of prints by ten (99 prints max).]
As he looked at the [Talent Printer] that had changed, Su Yang smiled from the bottom of his heart. ‘I’ve finally solved the problem of checking talents and can now select talents without any worries!
‘In any case, the number of prints can now be increased by ten times a day, so there’s no need for me to use it sparingly anymore!’
With that thought in mind, he did not hesitate to pull out all the resumes from the list that the Human Resources Department had submitted to him. Then, he looked through them and selected some talents among them.
‘I must say, after my company grew bigger, there are indeed some talents in it. Of the 20 people from the list, there are three one-star talents and seven or eight employees with decent evaluations.
‘Even though it’s incomparable to the number of employees in [In] Company, I still feel that it’s normal. After all, the difference between the size and the industry both companies are involved in is too huge, It’s only normal for there to be a difference in the number of talents.’
Therefore, after Su Yang finished reading all the resumes within an hour, he made his own arrangements.
He planned to go to his company the next day to announce his decision. Then, he would hold a meeting to win the hearts of his employees.
Su Yang patted Janet’s shoulder, who had completed 100 back flips and returned to his room.
The moment he returned to his room, the managing director of the management agency, Tan Mei, finally called Su Yang.
On the phone, Tan Mei said that Mei Yue was fine.
According to the doctor, Mei Yue was suffering from acute gastroenteritis. Coupled with strenuous exercise, she fainted. Due to the sudden incident, Tan Mei panicked and thought that something had happened to Mei Mei, so she quickly brought her to the hospital.
Su Yang listened quietly and felt that something was not right. ‘Gastroenteritis? That’s it? Something doesn’t sound right…
‘I think I should make a trip to the Imperial Capital to visit Mei Yue. After all, she is one of the two gold goose in my company, the other one being Han Yi.
‘As for Lin Jiali… I’m fine as long as she doesn’t make me lose my money. I haven’t got high expectations of her.’
The next day, Su Yang asked Pan Zhaodi to book a flight to the capital for him. ‘It would be best to make sure that I do everything by the books for such a public meeting.’
Then, Su Yang went to his office and announced the people who had been promoted.
Because the promotion that time was all employees within the company, the company’s cohesion increased.
No one liked for a promotion to fall from the sky, neither would anyone like to work hard for a long time without any room for improving themselves. Su Yang’s promotion that time was a public declaration. He refused to randomly promote anyone from outside of his company. Instead, he very much preferred to promote his own people! As long as all of them worked hard, They would be able to be promoted and receive an increment in their salaries!
After the small meeting, Su Yang did not even have to use his [Verbal Cannon] ability, but all of his employees were extremely motivated!
For those who had not been promoted, Su Yang had also increased their salaries according to their performance, causing them to be overjoyed. As for those who had been promoted, they were even more pleased with themselves and were even more loyal to Su Yang and the company!
After dealing with the ordinary talents, Su Yang started to think about who should “guard” the E-Commerce Company.
Wang Dong’s incident made Su Yang realize that the choice of the company’s general manager must not be based on friendship, but on ability and loyalty.
‘In terms of capability, I could look through anyone’s information and slowly choose a suitable candidate. As for loyalty… Who could be better than an actor from the [Burning reincarnation Circus]?’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang started to look forward to the talents that the circus’ [Guest Mode] could bring him.
…
In the ICU ward of Shanghai Hospital, a few people were seated around a bed with tears and sadness on their faces…
