The OA from the Third Era was probably the most straightforward, yet bizarre system Li Yu had ever used.

After entering the employee ID and password on a login page featuring a background of ancient hominids from the South, it would directly jump to the personal information page.

Although it had been only 42 days since Li Yu joined, his job level had already risen from p1 to p3, and just as Xu Mengyuan had promised, the Third Era’s promotion system was indeed transparent.

It was entirely determined by the number of faith points, without any subjective scoring or the need to please any leaders or supervisors.

Similar to a game’s leveling system, it not only clearly marked the experience required for the next level but also thoughtfully included a progress bar below to intuitively feel the changes in experience.

Beyond that, the Third Era is likely the only company brazen enough to throw all the job benefit information right on the homepage, seemingly without concern about comparisons among colleagues or the inversion of seniority between newcomers and veterans.

Li Yu read the detailed content carefully and found that the changes from p1 to p3 were quite significant.

First of all, his fixed salary had increased from 17,000 to 23,000, roughly 3,000 per level, which might not compare with some top-tier companies, but the speed of the increase was unbeatable.

Li Yu had jumped two levels within less than one and a half months of joining. Of course, just like in games, the initial levels are always relatively easy, and the further one progresses, the more experience — or in this case, faith points — are needed.

From p1 to p2 only required 100 faith points, but the leap from p2 to p3 demanded 1,000 points, and from p3 to p4 the requirement spiked to 10,000 points. According to the observed pattern, the faith points needed for each succeeding level were exactly ten times those of the previous level.

However, Li Yu guessed that the demand for experience, or rather faith points, would likely not continue to grow exponentially.

Otherwise, after a few more promotions, even if he converted the entire population of the Bratis Continent into believers, it would not be enough to meet his requirements for advancement.

Besides the fixed salary, Li Yu noticed that the reimbursement limit had also increased after the promotion, going from the original 15,000 to the current 30,000.

30,000 might seem like a lot, but considering the number of believers he was managing, the money would not last long. For instance, for the medical competition, as well as the previous treatments for the lizard people, Li Yu needed a large quantity of medicines, including a considerable amount of prescription drugs.

With the current policies and regulations, it was almost impossible to obtain that many prescription drugs through official channels.

Li Yu had to use all the connections he’d made at his previous medical company to find a drug dealer. This dealer colluded with a point for collecting expired drugs, secretly selling expired medicines that had been discarded by major hospitals.

Although expired, these drugs had just recently surpassed their expiration date and still had reliable efficacy; their prices were also about half of the regular drugs.

But even so, Li Yu still spent nearly thirty thousand yuan on medication, and now he only had a little over four thousand yuan left in his expense account for the month. Moreover, to treat the new recruits at Green Field who were ill, he would definitely have to continue investing in medication going forward.

It was almost like spending money to buy population and followers.

So much so that Li Yu was considering whether he should unlock the skill to extract Penicillin earlier.

Besides the salary and expense reimbursement, the most noticeable change after the promotion was undoubtedly the two newly unlocked features—the welcome gift for new employees and employee wishes.

Li Yu noticed that the words ’claim’ and ’contact’ in the brackets were clickable.

After some thought, he first clicked ’claim’, and the cursor hovered over the word ’claim’ for about half a second before the page transitioned to a lucky draw game where he had to smash golden eggs.

There were a total of nine golden eggs bouncing around on the screen, and above them hung a banner that read, "Congratulations on the promotion, come and claim your promotion gift!"

At the same time, the designer of this page had added ribbon effects and the song "Good Luck" playing in the background, making it as tacky and lively as could be.

Li Yu didn’t rush to act but brought his face a little closer to the screen, and in the bottom right corner of the banner, he saw a string of words smaller than grains of rice.

Prizes are sponsored by the Equipment Department. Some genius proposals weren’t approved, but it’s okay, we still secretly made them anyway.

PS: They might not be practical, but they are definitely cool.

PPS: What, you want something even better? Go to the store and buy it with faith!

Li Yu shook his head, randomly chose egg number 5, and clicked it with the mouse turned hammer to smash.

The next moment, a popup appeared!

Congratulations on smashing [Gaming Sunglasses](2 stars)

—Wear these magical sunglasses to immerse yourself in gaming at all times. Designed specifically for hardcore gamers, they help you quickly adapt to a new job. Caution advised for non-gamers. Please collect the actual item at the Equipment Department.

Li Yu clicked the mouse again, this time on egg number 9.

As the little hammer fell, a golden light burst forth on the screen!

Stars kept flying out from the corners, and the volume of "Good Luck" got louder.

Congratulations on smashing [Eco-friendly Frog](4 stars)

—Everyone has a part to play in environmental protection. Take good care of this cute little frog, and every once in a while, it will bring you some trash.

???

From these two prizes, Li Yu felt the quirky humor of some people in the Equipment Department.

But with just the vague descriptions, he couldn’t be sure of the actual uses of the two items, and Li Yu couldn’t be bothered to guess, so he simply closed his computer and went to bed.

The next morning, he arrived at the company on time, only to see Hephaestus already waiting there, holding a cup of coffee and chatting up the receptionist with great charm.

The moment he saw Li Yu, the handsome half-blood’s eyes lit up. He left the pretty girl at the side and came over, babbling, "True to form, you’ve managed to draw the second most valuable prize in the employee prize pool!"

"You mean that Eco-friendly Frog that picks up trash?" asked Li Yu.

"Exactly, that’s my masterpiece. I came so early today just to personally hand it over to you!" said Hephaestus enthusiastically.

He looked as if a mother was watching her daughter finally getting married.
