Chapter 192 Death from Overwork

This time, Tang Ying opened a special file, just to see what the easter egg in the ending of karoshi is.

Lots of people are talking about it, but no spoilers.

It is very simple to achieve the ending of karoshi. Anyway, as long as you continue to work overtime, reduce your health, and continue to be hospitalized, and so on, you can achieve it.

The process is very ironic. While Tang Ying kept working overtime and kept dropping her health, the satisfaction of her boss was also rising steadily, and she also got a lot of bonuses, which was much richer than Tang Ying's last save.

However, death is also fast.

Finally, the karoshi ending was reached.

【Under the pressure of work, you choose to work overtime non-stop to complete more and more heavy work tasks. 】

【The leader is very satisfied with you, and has praised you many times in front of all employees, and selected you as a role model and model worker for the whole company. 】

【You get a lot of money, but sometimes you don't even have time to spend it. 】

【Finally, your body collapsed. After working overtime and being hospitalized again and again, one night, you lay prone on your desk and never woke up again. 】

【You don't know what your funeral will be like, but you can roughly guess that the boss who has been praising you is probably not there. 】

【You don’t know how your relatives and friends are grieving, or... After working overtime in isolation for so long, do you still have any friends who have been in touch? 】

【You still have a lot of unfulfilled dreams, and you still want to take a look at this beautiful world, but you can't complete them.You can only leave these to your next generation. 】

[Reach the ending: Karoshi]

The ending is very simple, just a paragraph, and a black and white photo on the mourning hall.

However, when Tang Ying clicked to end the ending, lines of subtitles rolled out.

"As an overtime dog, you may often say something like this to yourself:"

"One last project:"

"After finishing, you can repay all the mortgage on the house."

"After that, you can transfer your child to a better school."

"After finishing, you can take your wife and children abroad for vacation."

"After finishing, you can put down all the work and have a good rest."

"But actually, you should understand:"

"There are some things that cannot be done in this lifetime."

"Many companies are silently promoting an overtime culture:"

"On the surface, they say they don't support overtime work, but in fact they are secretly counting who works more overtime and who gets off work early."

"More and more people are acquiescing to this rule, using overtime to prove their loyalty to the company and their love for work."

"But you have to know that millions of people die suddenly all over the world every year, and everyone has this idea."

"If you die:"

"The company will observe a silence of 3 minutes for you at most."

"Maybe your leader will come to your home and say a few comforting words."

"The big leader may call the client, please have a good meal, and then push your deadline to be postponed, and another unlucky guy will take your job."

"Your colleagues will feel sorry for you during the meal and think about their health check with sympathy."

"But at most one month, this matter will be completely overturned."

"The world will continue to turn, life will continue to go on, and all traces of you in the company will be erased, as if you never existed."

"Your job will be replaced by someone."

"But who will replace the child of the parents, the husband of the wife, and the father of the child?"

"To obtain short-term benefits at the expense of health, even without short-term benefits, just for the company, for the so-called sense of responsibility, this is the most stupid thing in the world, there is no one."

"I hope that programmers, engineers, and working dogs can take good care of their bodies. The company does not understand your hard work. You must know how to combine work and rest."

"Money can't be earned, but life is one's own."

……

Looking at this passage, Tang Ying felt her nose a little sour.

She also went to some big companies for internships when she was a senior, so even though she is currently an anchor, she can understand the emotional resonance contained in this game.

Tang Ying originally thought it was a relaxed, humorous and funny game.

Of course, it is true that from the perspective of painting style and gameplay, this game is really relaxed and funny.

Especially the gameplay of "escape from the company" is full of various spoof elements.

But, obviously, this game is not simply funny or spoofing, it will also give people some thinking.

Especially this "Karoshi" ending.

This game allows everyone to re-experience the process of work, and uses various quantitative data to allow players to more clearly see the right and wrong, gains and losses of each behavior.

Is working overtime for money, for business (attribute improvement), or to meet the boss's expectations?
Overtime, what did you bring?A sharp drop in health?Or increased mental stress?

In the game, the protagonist can be arranged to combine work and rest, work for five days and rest for two days.

But in reality, how many office workers can really enjoy a full weekend?
Tang Ying checked the time, it was almost time to start broadcasting.

After calming down, I put on my makeup and went to the computer.

"Today I bring you a new game that has just been released, called "Working Dog Survival Manual"..."

……

Soon, various comments on the Internet came out one after another.

Many anchors and up hosts like Tang Ying are spontaneously promoting the "Working Dog Survival Manual".

Of course, while the game itself is very interesting, many people are also feeling the easter egg about death from overwork.

"Actually, I really want to say that the ending of death from overwork is the real ending, right? The so-called becoming a CEO and marrying Bai Fumei can only be seen in the game. Maybe that is our ultimate goal, but how many people Can it really be achieved? Most people work hard according to this goal, but the final result is death from overwork.”

"My first episode is [Victim of Internal Struggle], and the most annoying thing is that the girl I chased turned out to be a green tea bitch in the end. I'm so angry! Do honest people deserve to be bullied?"

"To be honest, the game is very fun, and many gameplays are designed to be very interesting. Although these gameplays are not new, such as the part of escaping from the company, which is a general room escape game, but it is not added to this game at all. It feels contrary, this is quite interesting! And the most important thing is that this game is not forcibly preaching, but just burying an easter egg, which will not make people feel uncomfortable."

"Indeed, when I saw this easter egg for the first time, I was stunned, and I felt like I was hit by a blow. The work is endless, but my life is my own!"

Soon, the ratings on the major game platforms also came out.

The highest platform has a score of 9.6 points, while the scores of several other platforms are also around 9.3 points.

Basically, it is similar to "The Lurking Red Path", maybe slightly lower, but from word of mouth, it is still a high-quality game!
