To Posterity

This final line. Should I use "To the Years" or "To Civilization"... Both sound good to me.

WHOA! Yes! I completed every work today, yes sir...!

Oh. You're not my team lead. Scared the blight out of me. Ahem... From the way you dress, you must be the Endministrator of Endfield Industries!

I ... I'm Liu Xie. I've read your story since I was a kid and swore to become a great writer. I never knew I'd see ... the actual legend in person.

Heheh. Writing stories is my current hobby. Oh—

Endmin, can I ask you for a tiny favor? Your legendary adventures will definitely spark my creativity...

I might not look like it, but I actually topped my vocational training class. They carefully chose me to work at the Watchtower Reservoir Station. This is just a walk in the park.

The previous dude who worked here is a distinguished alumnus of my school. He's now an Old Legend at HAS itself.

I treat the Reservoir Station as the perfect place to work. But back in school, everyone heard a campus myth...

Our Old Legend hid a treasure at the Reservoir Station — the Omni-Functionable Toolkit that can boost work efficiency beyond measure!

Oh, this is something you gotta brush up on. Functionable is the romantic ideal for tech laborers like us!

Endmin, I've marked the potential locations of the Toolkit near Reservoir 3. Access logs showed that our Old Legend frequented that place when he worked here.

But we got a cluster of straggling Aggeloi at that place... Please! I really need to find that legendary Omni-Functionable Toolkit!

Endmin, we're still getting reports of Aggelos activity at the Reservoir Station. The site is indeed dangerous for ordinary laborers.

Ah, no need to worry. My work is done for today. This break time is legit.

Once I find the Omni-Functionable Toolkit, I would finally get enough time to pursue my literary ambitions!

I hope our Old Legend didn't lie to me...

Hey. We need a pass phrase to open this gate.

Endmin, this seems like a weak pass code that we can easily crack.

The Old Legend might have left something nearby. Let's look around for clues...

Hey. It's a dead end.

I can ask him now!

What? It only contains a booklet.

To Posterity? I guess that phat lewt is not a toolkit.

Endmin, we should head back to the Restricted Area Security Section.

Thank you so much, Endmin. Let me see... To Posterity?

Hmm. The Old Legend wasn't the only author. In fact, the first reservoir inspector assigned to this post wrote things as well...

This is really interesting. It's not filled with boring lessons or fowl soups for the soul. It's things that I never knew before, stuff that goes beyond my fantasies.

There are even records about the Wuling Science Station that the first inspector experienced...

The first inspector enjoyed making pencil sketches while our Old Legend loved astronomy. Look. They even scribbled things about life outside work...

Most importantly, they left the same lesson to their next replacement—

"Work at the Reservoir Station might be boring, but it is very important. Effort decides the success of flood prevention"...

It might not be the Omni-Functionable Toolkit, but it's still really useful to me!

Thank you so much, Endmin. To Posterity. I'm going to take some time to study it thoroughly...

Heheh. Of course I will. Gotta milk these writings for more ideas and inspiration...

Wow. A multi-star system! That sounds great. If there were five suns...

Awesome. Is this the Omni-Functionable Toolkit that I've been praying for?

Endmin, I got a brand new idea!

I'm not going to write To Civilization or To the Years. I'm going to write about a star system with five suns...

Just you wait. My work shall be lauded for generations to come!

"Effort decides the success of flood prevention"... This is the pass phrase, right?

This Old Legend seems like a diligent and duty-bound laborer.

He concludes every work log with the same line.

Endmin, this line serves as an important personal reminder for him...

Let's give that a shot. Got a strong feeling that it's the line we need!
