Chapter 002: Suddenly Becoming the Director

"Yes." The man nodded firmly, "Although I am the one making the choice, it is you who opened the path to this point, which is enough to demonstrate your potential—my time is limited, can you tell me your choice as soon as possible?"

Do you mean that only I am sincere and free of distractions in my heart?

Why is it me

Who are you

Can I really do it

Moreover, Yuan Man indeed harbored such fantasies. He wanted to give it a try, to make up for many, many regrets

Because your name, Yuan Manyuan, sounds perfect for this job.

As the conversation continued, the figure of the former long-standing presence grew increasingly faint, and it was evident that it was about to vanish from beneath the oil lamp.

This is the original intention behind the establishment of the Hyperdimensional Agency. If possible, I hope to continue this endeavor indefinitely. However, I have recently encountered some troubles that have kept me occupied for quite a long time. Yet, I do not wish to let this agency, which I have worked so hard to establish, go to waste. Therefore, I have decided to find someone to take my place, and that person is you—Yuan Man

I cannot think of anything at the moment

As the conversation just began, the man's brow suddenly furrowed, and he turned his head to the other side, as if he were conversing with someone.

The Superdimensional Office, which can be interpreted as an office that transcends dimensions, can also be understood as an office that is beyond the world.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Man finally confirmed that the introduction of that questionnaire must have been penned by this man. This style, which combines straightforwardness with provocation, has already appeared multiple times within just a few minutes and is likely to continue appearing.

I will not explain the specific principles to you, as you would not understand them anyway

Whether it is superstition, Yuan Man does not know, but he will not rashly comment on areas he has not ventured into, nor will he hastily question someone who is clearly much more capable than himself. He simply wants to confirm it with his own ears

Hello, new director, I am Orochimaru, the director's assistant, and currently the only employee of the office

Yuan Man was slightly taken aback: "Do I have the right to choose?"

What era is it, still playing this game? Just turn on the light if there is one—uh, why does this light look so much like an incandescent bulb? Is it intentionally disguised to look this way?

It is indeed true, and certainly good

Someone spoke up, and it was only at that moment that Yuan Man realized there were other people present. He quickly turned to look in the direction of the voice and asked.

Without waiting for him to examine it closely, the former director declared: "The contract is complete! There is still some time, let me provide you with a bit of guidance for beginners, --"

The office itself no longer exists within the various dimensions and worlds of the library, yet it maintains an obscure connection with these dimensions and worlds. Once certain conditions are met, a passage to a specific world can be opened.

Very well! The man under the oil lamp smiled and snapped his fingers, "Rule 1 of the Transdimensional Office: Once the guest confirms, the contract becomes officially effective"

Yuan Man was momentarily speechless. So I should thank my parents for bestowing upon me such a complete name

It was still a very correct approach, as if he had foreseen everything, striking at Yuan Man's emotional point. He could no longer endure it and asked:

Everything seemed unchanged, yet Yuan Man could vaguely sense that there was something more in his mind

How could that be, but don't you think that this is what creates a sense of mystery

Indeed, there is none; the background and context have been explained sufficiently, at least on the surface it seems coherent—whether it is truly the case, only that person knows.

When the image completely transformed into reality, the distortion returned to normal, the man was still under the oil lamp, and Yuan Man was still sitting in the chair

Yuan Man quickly spoke up: "Hey, wait a minute, at least make this place a bit brighter for me. The grand Superdimensional Affairs Office can't possibly just have a single oil lamp, can it"

The content of the entrusted tasks is varied and diverse; it may involve searching for someone or treating an illness. However, fundamentally, they are all the same—fulfilling the deepest and most sincere wishes of the client.

In this moment, Yuan Man felt a sense of being deceived like never before. However, at this point, it was too late to say anything; the former long-standing presence had completely vanished, and the dim space became bright as the light poured down from above

Yuan Man could not help but ask, "Then why me"

In the next moment, the entire scene became distorted like an abstract painting; at the center of the distortion, the figure of the man quickly faded away, replaced by Yuan Man's own image

Speaking of which, the ability to make such a judgment is truly extraordinary; this director is not just being exaggerated, but is increasingly adopting a fantastical style

What? So soon? That guy is really a handful. Don't worry, brother will be there soon. Sorry, Yuan Man, I have an urgent matter to attend to. I will have someone else guide the newcomer, and important information will automatically enter your soul upon the completion of the contract. I will come to see you when I have time, and if you perform well, there will be additional rewards. That's it

But I do not believe you would refuse. Because your wishes are sincere, and your heart does not deceive. Oh, I forgot to tell you, a significant part of the world connected by the office is what is known as the two-dimensional world, where there must be many characters you are familiar with. Do you not wish to change the fate of some of them and save them from their tragedies

Unexpectedly, the director shook his head and said, "No, in fact, there are still a few people like you."

Regardless of whether it is true or false, the other party's abilities are far superior to one's own

The reason need not be stated, as you are already aware that the answers you provided in the questionnaire align most closely with my standards. However, it is not merely the eight characters you entered, but rather the sentiment at that moment. Many individuals have filled out this questionnaire, and while there are others with similar answers, most of these individuals harbor ulterior motives or do not express their truest thoughts, merely offering superficial compliments.

The development of events unfolded as he had anticipated

Of course, after all, I am not a demon; if I truly do not wish to do it, I can refuse

No, that is just an ordinary incandescent light bulb, with no special features.

The experience was fantastical in nature, coupled with a grandiose name like the Superdimensional Affairs Office, which piqued Yuan's curiosity.

Oh, hello, wait a moment, what did you say your name is

Yet he still held back, refraining from asking questions, for the head of the firm, the man who had brought him here, would surely provide an explanation

The more you say this, the less I dare to believe it

Where is the answer

Just think about it. You do not need to worry about your abilities. Since I have appointed you to take over, I will ensure that you are capable of handling everything. You will understand once you become the director. Other matters, such as delegation rules and the operation of the office, are the same. By the way, you can return to your original world at any time, as long as your intentions are sincere. Do you have any questions

I promise

... ...

It is more or less like this; you can ask any questions now. Although I can roughly guess what you want to ask, I cannot keep you from speaking for too long. Excessive suppression is detrimental to one's mood and is not conducive to communication

It is a deception, a conspiracy, similar to "The Truman Show," where one also lacks the ability to resist

"Certainly." The man once again saw through Yuan Man's thoughts, "Many people say that a name is related to a person's destiny; this is not merely superstition."

These channels will bring business to the firm, and the firm also needs to utilize these channels to fulfill commissions and receive compensation

This is not a hasty decision, but rather a well-considered one

I want to! However, if I do not want to, I would not write it that way, nor would I engage in work related to the second dimension.

Yuan Man admits this point, as he has had many similar thoughts himself, which still occasionally arise. However, when filling out the questionnaire, he was indeed fully focused.
