Li Yu logged into the third era OA system on his phone while on the subway.

Yesterday was the company’s third collection of faith, and this morning, as expected, he was greeted with yet another promotion.

From P3 to P4, his fixed salary rose by three thousand, the reimbursement quota increased by five thousand, and both the promotion gift and employee wishes increased by one each, all of which were standard adjustments.

The bigger change, however, appeared in the newly added items below.

Li Yu discovered that after being promoted to P4, he had acquired a private office.

Although he had always been using Room 8, it was more akin to a station designed with minimalism or, frankly, bare walls, containing nothing more than a chair.

Li Yu did not even have a place to put his bag.

So, if he had any items he didn’t want to take to Bratis, such as house keys, headphones, or loose change, he generally left them at the reception.

But now things were different.

Before getting off, Li Yu collected his promotion gift this time. Although the prize pool was filled with various odd tastes from the Equipment Department, the last two items Li Yu got, whether the "Game Sunglasses" or the "Eco-friendly Frog," turned out to be unexpectedly useful.

Moreover, most importantly, these gifts were free, which meant there was no reason to reject them.

However, this time what Li Yu smashed from the golden egg was uncharacteristically serious.

—— "Sequence God Stone" (3 stars)

Li Yu had seen this item in the Forge House app before, priced at a high 888 faith points. As for its functionality, it was somewhat similar to a skill book in games, able to unlock additional divine sequence.

According to Hephaestus, Cross-plane Travelers could activate multiple divine sequences.

But the rarity of subsequent sequences could never surpass that of the first sequence, and no one knew what powers it would grant the owner before the divinity was activated.

Since he was going to pick up the "Sequence God Stone" at the Equipment Department later, Li Yu decided to also order the "Coordinate Editor," which he had been longing for, from the Forge House.

This 2-star equipment was priced at 688 faith points and was not cheap at all, making the promotion gift items in the prize pool seem all the more generous in contrast.

After making the payment, Li Yu had only 420 faith points left. With 29 days to go before the next harvest, there was no need to open the Forge House app again any time soon.

Li Yu closed his phone and was swept out of the subway by the crowd.

Upon arriving at the company, he first went to ask Xu Mengyuan about the office situation. He was informed that it was being renovated, but the renovation would need more time to finish and to ventilate the formaldehyde.

Li Yu then went to the Equipment Department to collect his "Sequence God Stone" and "Coordinate Editor."

The former, named the Divine Stone, was actually just a sachet, and the ritual to activate the sequence wasn’t as complicated as Li Yu had imagined; it was said to have been simplified many times over.

Now, users only needed to place the sachet beside their pillow at night while sleeping.

The first activation consumed one Divine Stone, the second required three, and the third needed nine—one per night, used consecutively for nine days. In any case, the consumption for activating the sequence increased as it progressed.

As for the "Coordinate Editor," it was indeed just a piece of editing software.

It could be downloaded and installed on a cell phone.

Before every descent, users could manually input the landing location, and within a ten-kilometer radius around the anchor point, it could be edited, but there was a certain degree of deviation in its actual use.

Li Yu’s main reason for purchasing this equipment was to add an extra layer of insurance for himself.

In case something future happened with Ireya, like her being imprisoned, he wouldn’t end up in a buy-one-get-one-free situation.

Li Yu chose to use the Divine Stone the very night he received it.

However, when he opened his eyes the next morning, he didn’t feel any different in his body.

And even after he returned from the Bratis Continent, Li Yu hadn’t noticed any change in himself, not until one evening while he was soaking his feet, did something inexplicable suddenly occur.

Li Yu put one foot into the foot basin, yet that foot could not touch the bottom of the basin and just floated on the surface of the water.

It was as if some unseen force was supporting the sole of his foot, so Li Yu then placed his other foot into the basin as well.

The miraculous scene happened again; his other foot also floated on the water’s surface.

Even when he made up his mind to stand up from the sofa, to onlookers, he appeared to be standing inside the foot basin, but to be more accurate, Li Yu was standing on the water’s surface.

He simply could not sink at all.

In the end, Li Yu had to scoop up water with his hands to wash his feet.

He then tried standing in another basin or a full sink, but the result was no different.

After that, he simply got dressed and walked downstairs.

Li Yu was very patient, waiting until there were hardly any people around before stepping into the residential complex’s water pool.

The moment his foot touched down, the water in the pool immediately soaked his ankle and drenched his shoes.

After thinking it over, Li Yu took off his sneakers and socks, stretched out his left foot, and then the miracle occurred once again!

His left foot stood on the surface of the water, not sinking further.

The sensation was unique, like stepping on jelly. Li Yu even wanted to try walking on water to see how fast he could go, but before he could stretch out his other foot, he heard a startled voice behind him.

"Brother Li! We don’t need to save water to this extent!"

Li Yu turned around to see Wang Guowei standing behind him with a horrified expression, probably mistaking that he was washing his feet in the residential pool.

Then Li Yu looked down at the time on his watch, 00:24, indeed only this overworked poor kid would come home at this time.

Li Yu nonchalantly retracted his left foot, "I was just picking something up."

"What thing?"

"One of my wireless earphones, it fell in while I was running."

"Really, then let me help you look for it," Wang Guowei generously offered, taking off his backpack, ready to join the search in the water.

However, Li Yu stopped him, "Forget it, they probably won’t work well after being waterlogged, I’ll just buy a new pair."
