I'm not a cyberpsycho

"As mentioned above, the imperial envoy from above has arrived. Recently, shipments and ships have been stopped for a while to take inventory. In addition, benefits for old employees, weapons and equipment, prosthetic mechas, luxury beef cakes, and everything you like can be priced at a fair price. Take 50%. Any questions?"

He posted another short article, claiming that he had stopped the Legion's conspiracy and sealed the Magic Gate. Li Pan, who had obtained the fourteenth silver key, also took some time off. From the Door of the Walking Dog to the Panlong Trading Company on the moon, he took a look. Take a look.

Wangshan raised his hand.

"explain."

"What is the Imperial Envoy?"

"...Just the arbitrators and tribunes. Without you, there will be nothing to do. They are mainly here to check my accounts... Are there any other problems?"

Wangshan, "Arbiter? What's your name?"

Li Pan, "Oh, speaking of which, Cheng Zi's family is also Miss Huang, Twilight. Huang."

Looking up at the mountain with big eyes and small eyes,

"Twilight?"

"How come you know him?"

Wangshan shook his head like a rattle, "I don't know him, I don't know him. I haven't seen him before."

The three-headed dogs who were noisy and grabbing food in the cafeteria just now also fell silent.

Li Pan narrowed his eyes, "Is this a reaction that you don't recognize?"

K said slowly,

"Twilight is not one person, but a group of people. The arbiters of the Dirac Sea are divided into four groups: morning, day, dusk, and midnight. Which group of arbiters to send depends on the state of the world."

Wangshan added,

“In the border world that has not yet been auctioned and has not yet elected a consul, the arbiters who command the reclamation of wasteland on behalf of the committee are Chenxi.

But usually they come here at the early stages of land reclamation, or when an insect wave breaks out, to authorize weapons or something like that. Once the matter is resolved, they hand over the authority to the local SEC scientific research team. "

"Oh, it's clearing up wasteland in the morning, but what's the state like at dusk?"

Wangshan shrugged, "Let's get into the midnight state soon."

"..."

K thought for a while and shook his head again.

"Arbiters rarely appear on the physical plane unless war breaks out, or there is a need to coordinate conflicts of interest among the Council's corporations.

Generally, when hosting a meeting or something, there is no need to send a professional team down. I've only heard about it. Please ask your company's upper management specifically. Generally, only the executive board level needs to deal with the arbitrator. "

Li Pan curled his lips, of course he asked, and called the legal affairs department directly. They just said, "Oh Dusk," "You didn't touch her," "Okay, I'll handle it," and then hung up...

"Okay, anyway, what I mean is that the Arbiter seems to be quite coquettish and unfathomable. Please be careful not to provoke her."

Wangshan said, "Who would have the brains to mess with the Arbiter?"

Li Pan, "...Wangshan! Did you sneak out to work as a mercenary before and didn't clock in? Perfect attendance will be deducted!"

Wangshan, "Nani!!"

However, if you earn 5,000 as a mercenary and work perfectly, you will only be deducted 500. In fact, there is not much loss...

In short, Li Pan came to the moon to handle some chores and checked the status of the four people in the drug testing team.

Originally, he planned that if the effect of the elixir was indeed good, when Nana and the others returned, they could make a second batch to cheat the rest of the team.

As a result, the effect of the elixir seems to be quite limited...

Well, K has indeed made great progress, but her qualifications are there. She has been a blood knight for four hundred years without the elixir. What's more, she has used the Holy Grail twice and built the foundation with the Dragon Gate Pill. At the end of the day, she has completed the 'Refining Qi' .

In addition, the blood knight also has a secret training method. K is equivalent to reincarnation and re-cultivation. With the "Shangzhen Shen Gang Qi Refining Technique", "Gang Fist" and the blood knight's sword training, it is simply a dual cultivation of gas, and the strength is quickly restored. The progress has been significant, and we can even prepare to overcome the catastrophe and attack the 'Refining Qi and Transforming into God'.

This kind of reincarnation cultivation method must be very powerful if you have full marks. It doesn't make much difference whether you have the Longmen Pill or not, but it is much worse for other mortals.

Leticia and Caiko are still in the stage of digesting the power of the medicine. One is a half-orc and the other is a person with super powers. They are both in the state of junior apostles possessed by monsters.

You want to say they are weak, but they are definitely much stronger than ordinary mercenaries. But to say how strong they are, it is still not enough. They are probably on a 50-50 basis with the company's BBA and the general soldiers of the legion, and they are waiting for the potion. It's almost used up, and the 'Super Experience Card' expires, so it's probably going to be back to its salty strength.

Well, it seems that they still have to survive the killing, otherwise the strength of these two people will come to an end.

As for Wei, Wei was also practicing with the sisters, but she took three elixirs and was like a normal person. She didn’t make any progress or go berserk. She seemed to have a gastrointestinal problem for a few days...

Damn it! Three billion things, just let out a few farts? Is this considered good qualifications or poor qualifications? ?

Now Li Pan had no choice but to put his plan on hold, give them some guidance on how to practice, and then observe them for two more days. It's best to find some legion or something to help them survive the disaster. After all, cultivating immortals can't help them, so it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes.

Of course, if you haven't made any progress after the tribulation, there's no need to work hard.

That can only mean that this is not a matter of personal efforts, but that the way to cultivate immortality in this world will not work after all. Ordinary people do not have the three zombies like him, Li Pan, to pull the reverse version and cheat, and there is no chance to change their fate against the will of heaven, even if the elixir has The effectiveness for them is only equivalent to a cool baboon stimulant, so it would be better to use a system with a higher combat power conversion rate such as implanted psychic super magic.

There is not much to say about the specific content of training my girlfriend and pet team. If I talk too much, I will be blocked by the system for review...

"The 'Mirror of Discordia'? It is indeed a vampire monster. It is a powerful magic item. It can be used as a medium to perform many spiritual magics and replenish magic for magicians. You can even sign a contract with the magic mirror to keep it alive forever. Youthful and beautiful.”

After finishing the work at Panlong Company, it’s time for magic teacher Maria to start classes again.

"But using a magic mirror will also result in the curse of the goddess, and you will pay a corresponding price. The user's personality will gradually become extremely emotional, arrogant, jealous, withdrawn, and even gradually be charmed by the 'perfect self' in the mirror, and be Manipulated by monsters, he disappears in the mirror at an advanced stage and finally becomes the apostle of the magic mirror."

"Is there any way to smash it?"

"If the monster could be dealt with so easily, our company would not exist. Besides, the magic mirror is someone else's private property, right? Maybe there is an invoice issued by the 077 company. If it is damaged, you will have to pay compensation."

Tsk, let’s just throw it in the trash heap...

"But can the legion actually build a military magic gate..."

Maria looked at the photos Li Pan sent and the formation diagram she drew, and thought about it.

"The last time I discovered that the Collectors Association was building a workshop in the gap, I was thinking that this world is very damaged, and there should still be many 'bridges' and 'passages', or even some kind of mirrored magical world.

It seems that the legion's magicians have discovered a stable shortcut in the gap, and can rely on monsters such as the 'magic mirror' to sneak to the earth.

Once those magicians complete the construction of the teleportation magic gate on Earth, the Legion will no longer need to risk transporting troops through the universe. Instead, they can teleport Martian monsters and soldiers to the earth through the magic gate on a large scale to launch an attack. "

Li Pan was speechless upon hearing this.

"Teleporting from Mars to Earth? Is magic so shameless..."

Maria,

"The preparation of teleportation magic is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive. In the eyes of magicians, technology is rather outrageous. The distance can be jumped within half a second."

Li Pan also shook his head.

"Ignore science and magic for now, the earth is so big, even if I can sit in the Night City, what if there are other places, and there is no way to prevent anyone who can't build a teleportation magic door in the deep mountains and old forests.

If the average level of the soldiers in the legion is the level of the apostles I met, then the ground battle that will follow will be a massacre. I think it is really suspenseful..."

Maria didn't care.

"Humanity is a race born for fighting. The history of mankind is the history of war. Peace is a rare situation. Even if this world perishes, there will still be countless earths. You are not a consul, so there is no need to worry about this. .

But yes, 0791 may be destroyed at some point, so I should take action. "

"...What are you going to do again?"

Maria pointed to the magic circle,

"As long as I decipher these magic words, I should be able to access the legion's magic network. If there are gaps, workshops, or doors on the moon, I can discover them in advance. By then, I may be able to contact some of the magicians on the opposite side. Do some academic exchange, magic exchange or something.”

Li Pan was speechless,

"No, at this time, you still think about academic exchanges? Will people come to fight with you to exchange?"

Maria twitched her long ears,

"Of course, knowledge is the ladder of progress. No magic user will refuse to communicate. Besides, I am also from the opposite camp now. If it doesn't work, I can join a collectors association or something."

Li Pan, "..."

However, after a trip to the moon, Li Pan had to admit that human beings were not as fragile as he imagined.

As the lunar industry completed the conversion of production lines from civilians to the military, various fleet drones and mecha ammunition were produced like water. MCCC's lunar fleet has begun to take shape. Not only has it begun mass production of battleships, but it has also begun to manufacture battleships on the moon. Here are the components for building the teleportation star gate.

Well, this can be regarded as Yulia's first executive order after being elected as the consul, using the military funds allocated by the committee to rebuild Star Gate 0791 in the lunar space. Of course, even if this door is not built, Ye's fleet can come in with the inducement stance, but wouldn't that cost Ye's own money...

In short, if the Legion just sits idly by and ignores it, then the fleets of the Ye family will jump over. Therefore, when the Star Gate is anchored, the legion will probably not be able to stay on Mars. In all likelihood, it will be forced to come over and confront them, and a decisive battle will break out.

Now is the time when the storm is about to come, and even the small-scale battles in the SIDE area have decreased. It seems that both sides are concentrating their forces, and it is not surprising that a large-scale battle will suddenly break out.

It seems that the committee urgently sent the arbiter and the security chief to prepare for the first battle with the legion. This time, it was really a donkey or a horse, and it was pulled out.

"I've been waiting for a long time. I'm Li Qingyun, assistant to the trading manager and driver of PPT Panlong. Because the president of our company is busy with official duties on Earth and can't spare time at the moment, I'm here to meet you."

"Hello Mr. Li, I, Goodstein, are engaged in personal property and tax consulting services. The president is busy with official duties, which is understandable. We can communicate first."

Well, Li Pan came to the hotel to meet his finance classmate. This Goodstein is considered a private economic consultant, doing business such as personal trusts, private equity funds, cross-dimensional asset transfers, and tax planning.

Of course, there are similar businesses such as MILESTONE PE and Milestone Private Equity Fund, but they serve real capital giants and financial giants. Although the boss does look up to Li Pan, he barely has 10 trillion in capital and has not yet reached the customer threshold. You have to earn at least 100 billion based on your own ability to qualify as a Milestone customer.

Even though he is a professional manager like Goldstein, he does not feel that Li Pan is looking down on him by sending a driver here. After all, 'Li Qingyun' is a relative who drives for 'Li Pan', so it is not bad for such a close confidant to come to meet him. , so the two parties had a very pleasant chat.

In response to some of Li Pan's needs for cross-dimensional asset transfer and tax planning, Goodstein's plan was to establish a family office, which is Li Pan's own group holding company to manage daily family wealth and other matters. Family matters to ensure that the family’s mid- to long-term goals are achieved.

Compared with directly hiring a private bank to operate a trust fund, a family office is equivalent to a private bank that provides services to individual families. The account manager not only hires a wealth manager, but also hires an entire team of legal advisors, accountants and other professionals.

No matter where clients are located, private banking advisors provide personal service when needed. These "butlers" can take care of most of the clients' daily needs, and meticulously and loyally manage investments, tax avoidance, collections, inheritances, estates, and execution of wills for the family. It is also their job to help you maintain family prosperity and property inheritance. .

Well, from this perspective, Milestone Company is equivalent to the family office of the Peterson family. Although Li Pan can also buy other people's financial management, trusts, and funds, in the final analysis, this company still serves the interests of the Peterson family. Making money for other people's families.

Therefore, if Li Pan wants to continue moving forward on the road of capitalism, sooner or later he will have to start his own family-run group.

Of course, the operating cost of this kind of family office is much higher than that of a simple trust or fund. In the case of Li Pan, a self-employed person with RMB 10 trillion, the annual operating cost alone may reach 1% to 3% of the assets. , around 1,000 to 300 billion, and may be even higher in the initial stage.

Moreover, as the scale of the family property industry becomes larger and more assets are involved in different aspects, the priority will be higher on the tax bureau's attention list, and the operating costs will also increase exponentially.

But no matter what, there is a professional team to serve you personally, study the legal systems and clauses of various companies, and provide professional tax and legal services. It is much better than paying 50% of the tax on your own. .

"I see. Then we can do it. When can we start it at the earliest? Can the project be launched before the settlement this month?"

Goodstein also smiled and said,

"I have a network of contacts and customer base in the major inner worlds, and I can establish professional and customized services for your family. However, I must also admit that your main assets are currently in the 0791 world, and I am not here. There are not many resources. If you let me open an office here, it may require additional expenses. It will also take time to screen resumes and train new people.

And considering the issues of property security and trust, I suggest that you find a dedicated financial advisor locally, preferably a steward who has a long-term business foundation and network of contacts in this world, is clear about legal and tax provisions, and is trustworthy. Only in this way can we establish safe and stable business cooperation. "

"Local financial assistant..."

Li Pan was speechless. If he had such connections, he would still need to find... Oh? Wait, there seems to be one?

So after getting off work, Li Pan went to the farm area again, followed the blood mark, and found Emilia at once.

Well, where else could she go, other than huddled in that protein farm? After all, she was now carrying a bounty from the Ye family. All her account assets and prosthetics were blocked, and Director Akagi and his mercenaries who had a single line of contact were also blocked. They were all killed by Li Pan, and he ran into the wilderness alone? Haha, isn’t that seeking death?

Yes, that's Emilia. She was the Grand Duchess's personal housekeeper, and it was her job to run the household. After spending so many years in the Night City, my business ability and connections are definitely no problem. As for the issue of trust, I guess it can be solved if there is a lot of hanging up and opening up.

Although Emilia once defected to her opponent and secretly plotted against Li Pan, to be honest, that was nothing.

What's a big deal?

For example, Li Pan now has 200 billion in turnover, the 50% tax is 100 billion, the 20% tax is 40 trillion, and there is a difference of 60 trillion! Who can save him 60 trillion, even if he is stepped on with military boots, he won't mind!

However, Emilia was having a rough time. Li Pan went into the house and found that all the artificial plasma stored in the freezer had been consumed, the electricity, electricity and water were all cut off, and even the air purifier could not be turned on.

Emilia was lying in the coffin with eyes wide open, her hair unkempt and dirty, her skin unmaintained, dry, thin, old and gray, dozens of years older than before, like a tramp...

Well, the old vampire looks like this after being hungry for too long.

"Ahem."

Li Pan coughed twice, and Emilia slowly turned her eyes and looked at Li Pan with a blank expression.

"Are you here to kill me? Do it."

Li Pan shrugged.

"No, I bought this land and the rent will be paid."

"……Ah ah ah ah ah--!!!"

Emilia looked like she was going crazy. She scratched her face and dug out of the coffin. She was just like a zombie in the cemetery. She screamed like crazy and rushed over to grab Li Pan's shoes.

"Kill me! Let me die! Let me die!"

Li Pan looked at her indifferently,

"Forget it. It's not easy for you to die. Well, just insert it into your heart and it's over.

Until now, are you still dreaming that the Legion can beat me? Sorry to disappoint you. "

Emilia was so stunned that she lay on the ground and froze for a while, then as if she thought of something, she crawled over to hold on to Li Pan's shoes and tried her best to pose as if she was "flirting".

"Li, Manager Li, I beg you, I beg you, please save me, can you support me? I can do anything, I can do anything, please save me!"

The Whisperer's memory is sometimes fucked up. Li Pan lowered his head to look at Emilia, who was begging for help at his feet. He saw a dying zombie, exuding protein rot, death mixed with rotten wood, ashes and farm fertilizer. smell.

But at the same time, I can recall that when I first met, the other person’s high-spirited, radiant appearance, and sweet smell on his body, the top notes are the fruity scent of pear and lychee, and the middle notes are the refreshing floral scent of jasmine and peony. , and the tail section is scented with musk and Laneige perfume.

This is what a dying old dog looks like after being abandoned by the company.

So Li Pan knelt down and stared into Emilia's eyes.

"Madam, I think, in this world, death is really a relief.

Do you really not want to die? "

Emilia seemed to be burned by her own reflection in the man's gaze. She lowered her head deeply and did not dare to look at him again. She could only tremble and murmur,

"Help me...please help me...help me..."

Li Pan shrugged.

"Okay, since you made this choice, I'll give you one last chance.

Catch it, no one will throw the cobwebs to you again. "

Amelia was stunned and confused. She looked up at the man, bit her lip and nodded.
