I'm not a cyberpsycho

However, Huang Dahe's matter cannot be rushed for the time being. The situation in the Night City is still too chaotic. With the support of Iga's ninja army, the Tokugawa family is still resisting. The Deep Web is full of golems and traps, and Shiba doesn't dare to poke around for fear of getting into trouble.

And because Kotaro disappeared from the girls' school again, Li Pan didn't know the specific situation on the road. He only knew that various people had been lying on the tracks and hanging themselves. Every day, the company dog ​​"misstepped" and was thrown from the roof of the building.

That scene was like going back to the Ninth New Tokyo era, when the stock market and real estate market plummeted during the Great Depression. Company dogs in formal suits were flying all over the sky, just like fallen leaves falling in the wind. The piaji stuck to the ground with a sound and couldn't be wiped clean. .

But having said that, contrary to cyberpunks, corporate dogs generally don’t die a good death.

After all, if one of your own employees is shot to death, the company's security guards will have their performance deducted, and those who work for large companies are generally decent citizens. If they disappear inexplicably or die unexpectedly, the NCPA and even the Security Bureau are obliged to ask questions.

Therefore, in low-intensity corporate wars, the ways to deal with the enemy's or our company's employees are generally limited to 'accidental fall', 'bankruptcy and hanging', 'drug overdose', and 'vehicle accident' .

In short, if the death is peaceful, silent, reasonable and legal, then it will not be included in the number of abnormal deaths, and it will not be able to open a case for investigation and attract unnecessary attention and trouble.

Monsters Inc. is simply the best in this regard. Once the file is deleted, not a hair will be left...

"Sigh...it's better to cultivate immortality, you can be free...you don't have to go to work, you don't have to take exams, you don't have to be involved in death..."

Now Li Pan is practicing meditation every night, just like playing the game Mewtwo. He controls Li Qingyun to explore on the Xuxing Turtle Shell Island. He eats small pills at will, and can also use them to fish and throw one on the black sea. , immediately a bunch of 'fish' rushed over to fight for it, but they seemed to be idle due to some kind of restriction, and they only hid far under the dark sea surface, and did not dare to jump on the turtle's back to grab it.

Li Qingyun took the initiative to go to the sea and catch a few. These 'fish' were strangely shaped, ranging from three feet to ten feet in length. No two were exactly alike. They were either aliens or monsters, but they were just level four and five wild animals. level, and it only has one hit, two punches, and three bites. It has no special superpowers and lacks intelligence, so it is not difficult to deal with.

With Li Qingyun's skill, he didn't even need the handkerchief magic weapon. He just learned and used the spear technique taught by Teacher Xian. He could shoot a Qigong wave with one palm of his hand and smash the fish monster to pieces.

Yes, Li Qingyun's cultivation speed is much faster than that of Li Pan. His cultivation level is improving every day. Not only has he begun to study the classics of Tai Shang Dao, he is also trying to figure out and practice Teacher Xian's killer moves, and relying on his superior understanding, Made a little profit.

Now he can shoot out the compressed Jiuyin Qi like a gun, and shoot it out more than ten feet towards the sea. Moreover, the wind in the palm is strong and fierce, gathering but not dispersing. The momentum of the spear is condensed, like a dragon. Moreover, this true energy dragon gang can be controlled at will, winding and circling, making the spear shadows fly like a dragon dancing wildly.

Of course, Li Qingyun has only realized how to "draw a gun" for the time being, and does not know any serious "shooting skills", so he just dances around blindly, just for fun, sometimes making an S shape, sometimes making a B shape, and only using the real The gas circled around and blasted out, appearing and disappearing, making noises in the east and west, making the fish unable to guard against it.

Li Qingyun also gave this move a secondary name, called Jiuyin True Dragon Po. Now he uses this move to fry fish every day when he is bored. He has practiced it to the point where he can draw the bow from left to right and send and receive at will.

Li Pan said that you have practiced this trick well and it is mine now.

So Li Pan woke up and tried a move,

"Nine Yin True Dragon Break! Ha!"

Li Pan is Li Qingyun, and of course he has used it, but Li Qingyun's True Dragon Break is a real dragon. With a sweep of his tail, he will say "Ouch——", and he can destroy a monster more than ten feet long from beginning to end, crushing it. The flesh was turned into pieces, and the sky was filled with blood.

But Li Pan's palm could only produce a wave of wind. His palm power dropped sharply when it floated three feet away. There was basically no attack power when it was one foot away. If the power was exerted with the hand pressed against it, it would be able to be transmitted in a solid body. Farther away.

For example, you can break a hole in the sofa through the wall, or shatter the mirror next door with a strong shock, etc. It is a bit of a special effect like beating a cow across a mountain, but it doesn't stop there.

Well...actually, a pistol is better to use...

It is such a powerful move, but its effect is very limited in the world of 0791. Is it restricted by the rules of the plane?

And compared with Li Qingyun, his cultivation level is too weak. Even if he has a suit of armor that costs hundreds of thousands, he is probably not as good as a fish in the sea. It seems that he still has to communicate more with Chengzi, Nana, and K. Communicate, enhance and enhance...

The next day, Kotaro still didn't come to work. I don't know if he was still lurking or if he had already entered the training stage. Ahem!

Rama didn't have time to clock in. Like Li Pan, he was stuck on the commuting road. I heard that there was a gunfight near the block where he went to night school, and the NCPA closed the road.

Yes, Rama is attending night school. After all, this kid has been locked in a dog cage since he became sensible. He doesn't even know about maggots and has been educating himself through free videos online.

The proceeds from the first operation were basically held in the stock market. Fortunately, this time the freezers for refrigerated blood were shipped. Li Pan received 350,000 yuan, and Rama also received 10%, with about 68,000 yuan in tax deducted.

After all, the resources available online were limited, so Shiba helped Rama enroll in an adult night school. Although this academic degree was of little use, it only taught some vocational skills and basic knowledge to help those who were out of touch with society adapt to the ever-changing modern technology. It suits Rama quite well.

But it seems that if we continue to be late like this, everyone will have to pay the company to work...

18. "That's not the case. The legal minimum hourly wage of 0791 is 4.5. As long as you clock in and work, you have to pay, and temporary workers are only paid 500 yuan for full attendance. It is probably included in the subsidy. It will not be deducted once. It will be deducted further.”

Don’t complain when you are eighteen!

Eighteen, "No, in fact, I heard people say that employees in other branches work at home, or store their prosthetics in the office. They come over for a meeting if they have something to do, and they don't need to clock in at all. Of course, the manager's permission is required. OK."

Li Pan asked curiously, "Huh? This is different from what is written in the personnel manual? Where did you find out?"

Eighteen, "The hacker assets over there at 01. Last time something happened to you, boss, I went to the technical department to look for equipment and found its communication link. Wow, the company is really rich. It has an entire asteroid to house the cardinal server." ! I also want to put my brain on a satellite...

Oh, by the way, I heard him say that at 01, although employees do not have to clock in and attend every day and report once a month is enough, at least one person in charge at the ministerial level or above must be in the company. Moreover, they work in two shifts, and the general manager and director have both principal and deputy positions, ensuring that someone in the company can answer the phone at any time. "

"Eh...are the company's technical departments all brain-computer..."

Then a robot in formal attire brings the coffee.

Well, everyone has money, and Aqi also bought a prosthetic body. Although formal clothes are the real body, walking around with an empty set of clothes on the road will always attract attention, and putting clothes on a robot will not be a problem in cyberspace. The world was literally invisible and no one would give it a second glance.

Aqi's needs are not high either. She can pretend to be able to walk and talk, and not to scare passers-by if her hood falls off accidentally.

So Shiba helped place an order from Mingzhi Electronics and ordered a basic undecorated humanoid skeleton. It came with a white plastic shell and not even a silicone human skin.

However, it seems that the performance is not bad, and the movements of the knuckles are quite flexible. After all, a robot skeleton alone costs tens of thousands of yuan. It is at least a professional service robot skeleton. If you have money in the future, you can continue to update external accessories.

Li Pan took a sip of coffee and said, "Okay, then I will appoint you, Aqi, as the deputy manager."

Ah Qi, "Thank you for your promotion. I will definitely work hard to repay your appreciation!"

Eighteen, "Hey, the deputy position must be a regular employee, and it needs to be approved by the headquarters. Boss, you just don't want to come to work, right?"

Wow, who is so full that he wants to go to work! We just want to make money!

But there are still people who are rushing to come to the company to work.

Today's job is to interview Yamazaki Ayato, an undercover agent sent by the Security Bureau.

When Li Pan came up, he was the third soul company.

"Who are you, where do you come from, and where do you want to go."

Yamazaki Ayato was also a little confused when asked, and replied cautiously,

"Hello, manager, I am Yamazaki Ayato, from the Department of Chemistry, Tokyo University. In fact, I signed an employment agreement with my supervisor when I was in graduate school. However, something unexpected happened. The laboratory where I originally planned to join the company caught fire, and the supervisor also...

Anyway, the project I originally signed the contract for has been suspended. Now I have a student loan from the company, and I can't apply for a job in my major because I owe a non-compete clause, so I have to do odd jobs, such as waiters, personal trainers, etc.

I want to join your company because the industry your company is engaged in does not conflict with the professional restrictions I am subject to, and your company is also a member of the safety committee. The top 500 companies in the world can also provide clear opportunities for temporary workers to become regular employees. I believe that with my ability..."

"Congratulations on your correct answer, welcome to join the company."

Li Pan immediately made the decision, leaving Yamazaki Ayato speechless. Apparently he had prepared a lot of things but didn't have time to say them.

Li Pan shook hands with him warmly and welcomed him to join.

"Ayato, a talented student like you has been humbled by me. Don't regret it, Gao Tianyuan, but just come here and treat the company as your home. We are all tired of cutting trees! By the way, what kind of responsibility do you carry with you? Body implant?"

Yamazaki Ayato's muscles tensed up.

"Are you referring to Gao Tianyuan's prosthetic body? Yes, my mentor applied to the company for me. It was originally intended to bring me into the laboratory to help, but now there are some twists and turns, so the use rights cannot be opened..."

"Oh," Li Pan looked at him, "When you officially join our company, the full-body prosthetic body will be destroyed. It doesn't matter, right? Do you want to think about it again?"

Yamazaki Ayato was stunned.

"Destroy? Sorry, what do you mean by removing the prosthetic body?"

Li Pan snapped his fingers,

"No surgery required, very safe. Just like this, hundreds of millions of dollars worth of equipment will be reimbursed at once. Of course, you can install it again after you join the job. Anyway, don't ask me, I don't understand either. Ask It’s black technology.”

Yamazaki Ayato hesitated for a moment.

Li Pan wished he could give up on his own and nodded repeatedly.

"It's okay, it's okay. I understand. After all, the prosthetic body is very expensive, so there's nothing you can do if you don't want to give it up."

Yamazaki Ayato hesitated for a moment and then said,

"No, I understand... To be honest, the laboratory I originally planned to work in has very high confidentiality standards, and a monitoring implant is installed in my brain. If there is a breach of confidentiality, my circuit chip will be burned out. , and most surgeons are not sure how to remove it safely. Can your company really...can remove this thing?"

Huh? What about this one? Could this be why he was sent to the company?

"That's it. Do you want to give it a try? But let me declare in advance that although temporary workers in our company are free to leave their jobs, they must do business at least once according to the process, and they will not be paid until the settlement day. If you don't want the money, you can't It doesn’t matter, you can submit your resignation report at any time.”

Yes, in fact, no one forces you to complete the three-year period. Unlike most Zhutian companies, which have non-competition agreements that are like sales contracts, Monster Company employees can resign at any time.

Of course, the company will delete your memories related to monsters, and props such as silver key suits will also be recycled. But in theory, this is the case. As long as the resume is approved, a business is done, and the first file report is available, the file can be established, and regardless of success or failure, you can leave at any time.

It's a 'temporary' job.

Considering the company's usual use of temporary workers and the average task survival rate, the issue of 'resignation' is not the most worrying thing.

"Okay, please let me give it a try, it will be painful to be exposed at night!"

Yamazaki Ayato bowed ninety degrees.

Of course Li Pan didn't care, so he took him to file and stuffed the documents into the cabinet.

"alright."

Yamazaki Ayato, "???"

Li Pan randomly drew a 'Monster Investigation' card and gave it to him.

"Here, I'll give you a field mission. You can go to the hospital for a checkup on the way. The implants and everything else should be gone."

Yamazaki Ayato, "???"

So the kid left the mission with a confused look on his face.

Well, it would be best if we could get rid of the undercover agents everywhere.

Then Li Pan himself casually browsed through a lot of tasks sent by the fax machine. Although there are a lot of tasks in the basket, in fact, there are really only a few "investigations". How can you find monsters by browsing videos? In fact, the main thing is 'purchase'.

After all, he is already the fourteenth manager. He has basically figured out what monsters there are in the 0791 plane, whose hands they are, and what characteristics they have.

Li Pan made a casual selection, planning to pick a few 'purchases' and take the newcomers undercover to do them. Those big companies at the same level haven't had the confidence to touch it yet, so at this time, they just focus on Gao Tianyuan.

In this way, even if the security bureau finds him, Li Pan is only doing company business, normal business behavior, and naturally has nothing to do with the terrorists like Chitengu.

Soon Li Pan found a suitable target.

In the mountainous area near Night City, it is the treasure of a reserved health resort under Tokugawa Medical, known as the 'Fountain of Youth'.

This 'Spring of Youth' was first discovered by villagers in the mountains. They said the spring water was particularly sweet and it was said to prolong life.

However, there is one thing to say: the local Oriental people are already rich in elderly people. There is no village without a lot of old men and women, who are all drinking water. And there was nothing abnormal about the water quality. It was just ordinary mineral water, so no one paid much attention to it at first. It was just used as a local tourism gimmick and a folk promotion.

It wasn't until a criminal case occurred and everyone in the village died that the police discovered during the investigation that the identities of the people in the village were fake, and some people actually lived to be two hundred years old!

Although these days, as long as you have money and keep replacing prosthetics, you can live as long as you want. But you must know that the technology of that era was not yet mature, and ordinary villagers did not have such financial resources.

So naturally, this case and the local legend of the "Fountain of Youth" attracted the attention of both Takamagahara and Monster Company, and each sent people to investigate. But the entire mountain was Takamagahara's private property, and it was inconvenient for the company to investigate. The final result was that Tokugawa Medical opened a sanatorium resort and became a private residence for company presidents to gather and recuperate.

Seeing that the senior executives of Takamagahara actually like to live there after they retire, and they are just 'immortal' and not 'immortal', there seems to be no risk of losing control, so Monster Company doesn't pay much attention and remains under observation for the time being.

But now the situation has changed. The Tokugawa Zaibatsu is definitely going to be finished. The Monster Company naturally plans to get a share of the pie. It will not participate in the battle here in the Night City, but it can seize it by force and use the land as a company asset. Buy it.

But first, we still have to check whether the ‘Fountain of Youth’ is still effective, and it can be considered a public trip.
