The System In My Head
Enter the First Tower
Inside the steel and concrete monster that soars from earth to sky, Ben begins the first day of his new job, as he contemplates something close to his heart. 'In theory, do you have to be on a plane or can you still join a mile-high club in a mythically tall skyscraper?
...
He believed that if a cultivator's house was a million miles tall ...
Shaking his head in awe at the great mystery of life...Ben follows Laura to get his first assignment, but soon stops halfway. His eyes almost popped out of his head, as he received a sudden warning from the system.

[Special Event: Waifel Tower - Higher chances of facing a special challenge with a special prize over the next 7 days]
...
Upon seeing Ben's footsteps stop, Laura turned around, and glared at him, as she saw his jaw open as she stared behind him ...
After a brief scolding, he again followed her like an obedient apprentice .. but his mind fell apart, pondering about the sudden change. However, a few seconds later, he took a deep breath, and calmed down. 'OK, it's a good thing .. but I need to evaluate the situation. First, the event lasted 7 days, longer than the previous two events in my dorm and Domina. I don't know why that is, but it's probably because of the long-term nature of the tower story compared to the basement... Also, this means like in the basement, the hidden boss must be somewhere, along with other things. ..'
At that thought, he quickened his pace to approach Laura.
[Minium floor boss detected]
[Mini 9th Floor Boss (Public Relations): Laura Baldwin]
As he expected, it was him ...
Staring at the screen, Ben inevitably let go of a light laugh, as this meant that there would be special achievements!
Turning around, Laura saw him approaching and was now laughing while still staring back at him !
...
[Current target attraction level: disgust (-1)]
After being scolded again, Ben was no longer in a happy mood...
'I have to focus. The event lasted a week, and if the Hearth was like Domina, it would still be the Tower even after the event was over. So I have to make sure I do my job well. Otherwise, I might lose the "Qualification of entering the Tower."'
Soon, Laura took him to a place where he would learn the skills to reach his potential in the company. It was a snack area in the break room...
He pointed to the coffee machine. "Do you know how to use it?"
... Ben nodded.
...
"Well, what are you waiting for?" He crossed his arms.
'The day will end.when I make you full...' Ben cursed in his mind but did as he was told. Now that the system recognized the Hearth Tower as a special location, he wanted to keep this job at all costs. As a man, he believed it was the key to his vomit...
Ben is trying to stay positive. 'It's okay .. if I am hired as an intern elsewhere, it also won't be glamorous .. because I need conflict in my story to avoid losing viewers ...'
From there, Ben's odd-job day begins. Following instructions from her father, Laura gave her every annoying task she could think of: delivering coffee and food, running documents up and down the building, and cleaning the office. He even made her go tell some people that they were fired!
Despite everything, even when Ben had to deliver such emotional news, he enjoyed it!
...
Wh why? He is a criminal!
...
No.. It's because he's using an antidepressant version of the system— stat growth multiplier! It was still active for a few more days, meaning its motivation and efficiency at work received a significant boost! Regardless of what annoying and boring task Laura gave Ben, she doesn't mind at all! He finished it with a smile! That's what happens even when employees curse him and cry for feeding their families!
...
Every time Laura saw his grinning face and heard him whistle as he carried around the trash can, she could not help but frown. His father gave him a job and it didn't go well. However, from a personal point of view, he increasingly disagreed with his judgment. 'Benjamin even has an incredible work ethic. I really don't know why you want to get rid of him so much.' In fact, if Ben opened his status window now, he would see a difference.
[Current target attraction level: rejected(+1)]
However, that would not surprise him. She has learned that women value men who dedicate themselves to their work. Of course, that doesn't always include cleaning and gophing.but it just so happens that Ben is good at it... After all, he had spent years being bullied...
Despite her personal beliefs, when Laura sees Ben, she still falls back on old tropes. 'You can only blame your bad luck for offending the wrong person ...'
No matter their views, warriors and prostitutes each had their own master.
...
At one point, Ben gets some free time and uses it to check the parameters of the Tower system. Since it was said his goal was to climb the floor, he wanted to test that goal, and take the elevator to various floors. However, as he stepped out and walked around, there was no message from the system. 'Said I needed to get official access to the higher floors... If I interpret that, I'm pretty sure that means I should get promoted...'
So far, beyond Laura's status as a mini boss, she had not experienced anything extraordinary inside the building. She believes it's because she didn't trigger the hidden condition, similar to how she didn't see Laura as a mini-boss Tower during their interview. Sighing, he could only return to her for the next task.
Ben is not the only one who has problems. Every time she returned from a bright and energetic task, Laura's ice facade gained another crack, her cold expression melting like a polar ice sheet.
under the methane cow fart...
'I have to give him something worse..but what?' He squeezed the pencil in his hand as he tried to make a cowardly plot...
At that moment, a call came into his desk phone, and he answered it. It was bad news .. However, Laura grinned. 'If I give this to Benjamin, wouldn't that fellow be shredding this apprentice to pieces?'
