Universe Infinite Canteen-Chapter 432: Please Don’t Be Pressured

Everyone was taken by surprise when the Virtual Beauty Girl Anchor launched a powerful move right off the bat.

In one go, she deducted 20 Mood Points from everyone.

As a result, the man wearing the Dragon Mask even had his Mood Points directly reduced to negative numbers.

His Mood Value dropped to -2, and the originally green light now emitted a glaring red glow, the smile beneath it gone, replaced by a sad expression with downturned corners of the mouth.

Fortunately, the Virtual Beauty Girl Anchor continued, "Happily bought my favorite breakfast at the usual street stall meow, Mood Value +2 meow~"

The Dragon Mask Wearer’s Mood Value recovered to 0, resulting in a neutral expression, neither sad nor happy.

The Virtual Beauty Girl Anchor paused before adding, "Except for the Ox Master, the Ox Master enjoyed the delicious breakfast meticulously cooked by the chef, Mood Value +5."

"Damn rich people."

The man in the Dragon Mask couldn’t help but clench his fists.

The voice of the Virtual Beauty Girl Anchor continued, "All masters headed to the station while eating, unfortunately missed the bus meow, didn’t reach the company on time, and realized it was overtime when clocking in, Mood Value -10 meow~"

"Except for the Ox Master and Rabbit Master, because they don’t need to clock in meow."

Joy was almost impossible to hide in the eyes of the man wearing the Ox Mask, and he almost laughed out loud.

But then he heard the Virtual Beauty Girl Anchor say, "However, the Ox Master later found out some employees were having breakfast during work hours, which made him very angry, Mood Value -5 meow~"

"No matter, hmph, it’s just offset by the Mood Points added from breakfast, my mood is still the best among everyone."

The Ox Mask Wearer Man snorted coldly.

The Virtual Beauty Girl Anchor said.

"All masters sat at their desks ready to start work meow, but then the leader sent a long text in the group chat criticizing everyone’s tardiness, Mood Value -40 meow~"

"Finally made it to the end of the workday, just to be saddled with last-minute tasks by the boss meow, demanding completion today, which meant overtime, overtime meow... Working all the way until 10 p.m., Mood Value -40 meow~

"Of course, the Ox Master and Rabbit Master are still exceptions meow, while everyone else was scolded and working overtime, the Ox Master was dining, drinking tea, getting a foot massage, and discussing business meow~ Mood Value +20."

"The Rabbit Master was watching dramas at home, Mood Value +10."

The room fell into a silence as silent as death.

No one expected the game, which was seemingly easy in the first round, to undergo such a drastic change in the second round. The Virtual Beauty Girl Anchor deducted a total of 113 Mood Points from everyone in one breath.

Except for the man with the Ox Mask and the woman with the Rabbit Mask, the Mood Value of the others had all turned negative.

One after another, red lights lit up on the table, the red glow casting over each mask, creating a somewhat chilling sight.

"As you can see, when the green Joy Points fall into the negatives, they turn into the red Stress Points meow, please do your best to eliminate stress and find joy again meow~"

"Because there’s a limit to how much stress a person can endure meow, if it exceeds the limit, then very bad things will happen during the settlement meow~"

The man wearing the Mouse Mask swallowed hard, his voice trembling, "What exactly is the limit you’re talking about? And what are these bad things?".

"Hmm, as for stress, different people have different thresholds meow, in this society there are those who can endure a great deal, and there are also those whose spirits are fragile, the so-called ’glass hearts’ meow, people who might jump off a building and commit suicide after being criticized a bit, such a pity squeeze meow~

"However, for most people, 100 points of Stress Value is the safety line, so for everyone’s safety consideration meow, please masters, try to stay within the safety line meow~"

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman wearing the Rabbit Mask was trembling like a sieve, hugging her head as she cried out, "No, please, I’m still young, I don’t want to die~"

Yi Xiaxia hurried to pat her back and comfort her, "It’s okay, it’s okay, your Mood Value is still positive, you have a whole 57 points, you’ll definitely be fine."

"Damn it!" the man wearing the Dragon Mask slammed his fist on the table.

His Mood Value had dropped to -95 after the series of events that had just occurred, leaving him only 5 points away from the safety line.

This meant that if he couldn’t quickly raise his Mood Value in the next step, he would be in grave danger when it came time for the settlement.

The happiest one here had to be the man wearing the Ox Mask since he and the woman in the Rabbit Mask were the only ones with positive Mood Values.

Moreover, his Mood Value was a whopping 95 points, towering over everyone else, and that wasn’t all; the events of the past two rounds had shown that going to work was the biggest Mood Value reducer.

Yet, his boss status helped him evade this loss of Mood Value.

After a day’s work, not only had his mood not decreased, but it had also increased to 95 points, making him even more Joyful.

The light in front of him was greener, and the little figure below had turned into a wide, beaming smile, very much in sync with how he felt.

How could he possibly lose this way?

The Virtual Beauty Girl Anchor considerately gave everyone some time to digest the information they had received.

She then continued, "Dear masters, don’t be sad, meow, because work is over, and everyone has caught the last subway home, back to their rented apartments. Although it’s already 11 PM, you can finally entertain yourselves now, meow~"

The Virtual Beauty Girl Anchor clapped her hands as she said this, with colorful confetti falling down from above her head.

"Let’s go, daddies, meow! Masters, cheer up, make yourselves happy, meow~ Coming up, please choose events according to the reverse order of the Chinese zodiac. You still have 30 seconds to think, but this time there are 6 options, meow~"

1. Work out, meow

2. Watch a super super popular recent movie, meow

3. Read an online novel, meow

4. Lie in bed and scroll through short videos, meow

5. Study seriously, meow~

6. Watch the Gold Medal Producer’s livestream, meow~ Although Gold Medal Producer is just a small anchor, she will try her best to bring happiness to everyone, meow~

As if to tout the last option, the Virtual Beauty Girl Anchor switched into a cheerleader outfit and energetically started doing windmill arm waves.

And above her head, the 30-second countdown had already started ticking away.

The man wearing the Pig Mask had his back soaked in sweat, with his Mood Value at -68.

This was a delicate number, with some distance to -100 it might seem safe, but the situation was already clear.

No one knew what Mood Value reducing events might happen at work tomorrow, so he had to make good use of this precious entertainment evening to raise his Mood Value as much as possible.

But why, oh why, did it have to start with him? This way, his choices would become the experience of others.

And he couldn’t gain any experience from others’ choices.

The man in the Pig Mask glared maliciously at the man wearing the Mouse Mask, blaming this jerk, this disgusting unemployed young man, the rat of the sewers, if only he hadn’t uttered those extra words earlier, the order wouldn’t have changed, and he would have been the last to choose.
