i'm not a cyberpsychopath

Chapter 63
However, Huang Dahe's matter is not in a hurry 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 stubbornly resisting.There are puppets and traps everywhere in the deep net, and Shiba didn't dare to search around to avoid getting into trouble.

And because Xiao Taro disappeared in the girls' school again, Li Pan didn't know the specific situation on the road. He only knew that he had hanged himself by lying on the rails recently.

That scene seems to have returned to the Ninth New Tokyo era, the scene of the Great Depression, the stock market and the property market plummeting, and the company dogs in formal suits flying all over the sky, like fallen leaves falling in the wind, piaji sticking to the ground, and they can't be wiped clean .

But having said that, contrary to cyberpunks, company dogs generally don't 'die badly'.

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

Therefore, in a low-intensity corporate war, the way to deal with the enemy's or our own employees is generally limited to "accidental fall", "hanging from bankruptcy", "drug overdose", and "vehicle accident". .

In short, the death is quiet, silent, reasonable and legal, so that the number of abnormal deaths cannot be counted, and the case cannot be investigated, causing unnecessary attention and trouble.

Monster Inc. is the best in this regard. Once the file is deleted, there is not a hair left...

"Sigh... it's better to cultivate immortality, free and easy... no need to go to work, no assessment, no need to be involved in death..."

Now Li Pan practiced meditation every night, as if playing a super dream game. He manipulated Li Qingyun to explore on the virtual star turtle shell island. Xiao Huan Dan can be eaten casually, and can be used for fishing, throwing one on the black sea. Immediately, a bunch of 'fish' rushed over to snatch it, but they seemed to be idled by some kind of prohibition, and they only hid far away under the dark sea, not daring to pounce on the turtle's back to snatch it.

Li Qingyun took the initiative to go into the sea and hunted a few of them. These 'fish' were strangely shaped, ranging from three feet to ten feet in length, and none of them were exactly alike. They were either aliens or monsters, but they were only fourth-level and fifth-level wild animals. level, and it's just one hit, two punches and three bites. It doesn't have any special superpowers, and it lacks intelligence, so it's not difficult to deal with.

With Li Qingyun's skill, he didn't even need a handkerchief magic weapon, he just learned and used the one-style spear technique taught by Teacher Xian, and he could shoot a wave of qigong with a single palm, blasting the fish monster to pieces.

That's right, Li Qingyun's cultivation speed here is much faster than Li Pan's, and his cultivation level is improving every day. Not only has he begun to study the classics of the Supreme Dao, but he is also trying to figure out and practice Master Xian's ultimate move, and relying on his outstanding understanding, Got something.

Now he was able to shoot his palm like a spear, blasting out the compressed Nine Yin True Qi with one palm, hitting the sea surface for more than ten feet.And the wind in the palm is strong, gathers but does not disperse, the spear is concentrated, like a dragon shape, and this true energy dragon can also be manipulated at will, winding and circling, making the shadow of the spear flying like a dragon dancing wildly.

Of course, for the time being, Li Qingyun only realized "shooting the gun" and didn't know any serious "shooting skills", so he just danced around a few times, purely for fun, hitting an S shape for a while, and a B shape for a while, only using the real guns. The gas coiled and blasted out, appearing and disappearing, making the fishes hard to guard against.

Li Qingyun also gave this trick a secondary name, called Jiuyin Zhenlongpo, now that he is bored every day, he uses this trick to fry fish.

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

So Li Pan woke up and tried a trick too,
"Nine Yin True Dragon Breaker! Heh!"

Li Pan is Li Qingyun, of course he also used it, but Li Qingyun's real dragon is a real dragon, sweeping it out with a tail, "哧—" With a sound, a monster of more than ten feet can break you from head to tail, crush it Turned into rotten meat paste, scattered bloody.

However, Li Pan's palm can only produce a palm wind, and the power of the palm will plummet when it floats three feet away, and basically has no attack power when it is one foot away. If the palm is close to the hand, it can be transmitted in a solid 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., which is a bit of a special effect like hitting a cow from a mountain, but that's all.

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

Such a powerful move, but its effect is very limited in the world of 0791, is it limited by the rules of the plane?

And compared with Li Qingyun, his cultivation base is really too weak. Don't look at this 10,000+ armor, it is probably not as good as a fish in the sea. It seems that you still have to communicate with Cheng Zi, Nana, K, etc. , Enhancement is what it is...

Kotaro still didn't come to work the next day, I don't know if he is still in hiding, or has entered the training stage cough cough!

Lama didn't have time to check in, and he and Li Pan seemed to be stuck on the commuting road. It was said that there was a gun battle near the block where he went to night school, and NCPA blocked the road.

Yes, Lama 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 he has been learning by himself through free online videos.

The proceeds from the first operation were basically invested in the stock market. Fortunately, Li Pan got a share of 35 for the blood freezer shipment, and Lama also got [-]%, with a tax deduction of about [-].

After all, the resources downloaded from the Internet are limited. Eighteen helped Rama enroll in an adult evening school. Although this degree is useless, it only teaches some vocational skills and basic knowledge to help those who are out of touch with society adapt to the ever-changing modern technology, but Pretty good for Rama.

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

Eighteen, "That's not enough, the legal minimum hourly wage in 0791 is 4.5, as long as you come to clock in and have working hours, you have to pay, and the full attendance of temporary workers is 500 yuan, which is probably included in the subsidy, and it will not be deducted once. Will buckle down again."

Eighteen, don't complain!
Eighteen, "No, in fact, I heard people say that other branch employees work at home, or store prosthetic bodies in the office, and come to a meeting if they have something to do, and they don't need to check in at all. Of course, the manager's permission is required. OK."

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

Eighteenth, "The hacker assets over there at 01, last time you had an accident, boss, I went to the technical department to look for equipment and found its communication link. Wow, the company is really rich, and he has a whole asteroid to house the cardinal server I also want to put my brain on the satellite...

Oh, by the way, I heard from him that although employees at 01 do not need to check in daily, reporting once a month is enough, but at least one person in charge above the ministerial level must be in the company.Moreover, they work in two shifts, with both the general manager and the minister in charge, ensuring that the company has someone to answer the phone at any time. "

"Hey... the company's technical department is all brain computers..."

Then a robot in suits brings coffee.

Well, everyone has money, and Ah Qi also bought a prosthetic body. Although formal clothes are the main body, a set of empty clothes will always attract people's attention when walking on the road. The world is literally invisible, and no one takes a second look.

Ah Qi's needs are not high, as long as he can pretend to be able to walk and talk, and don't accidentally fall off his hood and scare passers-by.

So Shiba helped place an order from Zhizhi Electronics, and ordered the most basic undecorated human skeleton, with a white plastic shell and no silicone human skin.

But it seems that the performance is not bad, and the movement of the knuckles is quite flexible. After all, a robot skeleton alone costs tens of thousands of yuan, so at least it is a professional service robot skeleton. In the future, if you have money, you can continue to update the external pendants.

Li Pan took a sip of coffee, "Okay, then I'll appoint you, Ah Qi, as the deputy manager."

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

Eighteenth, "Hey, the deputy must be a full-time employee, and it must be approved by the headquarters. Boss, you just don't want to come to work, do you?"

Wow, who the hell is full and wants to go to work!We just want to make money!
But there are still people rushing to work in the company.

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

Li Pan came up with three souls,

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

Yamazaki Ayato was also a little confused by the question, and answered cautiously,
"Hello manager, I'm Ayato Yamazaki, from the Department of Chemistry at Todai University. Actually, I signed an entry agreement with my supervisor when I was in graduate school. It's just that there was an unforeseen situation. The laboratory where I planned to join caught fire, and the supervisor also...

In short, the project I originally signed the contract with was suspended, and now I am carrying the company's student loan, and because I owe a non-compete clause, I can't apply for a job in my major, so I have to do odd jobs, such as waiter, personal trainer and so on.

I want to join your company because the industry your company is engaged in does not conflict with the entry professional restrictions I have been subject to, and your company is also a member of the safety committee, a top [-] company in the world, and it can also provide clear opportunities for temporary workers to become regular workers. I believe that with my ability..."

"Congratulations, you got the answer right, welcome to join us."

Li Pan immediately made a decision, leaving Yamazaki Lingren speechless. Obviously, he had prepared a lot of words and didn't have time to say them.

Li Pan directly shook hands with him enthusiastically, welcome to join,
"Aya, a talented student like you has come to my place. Don't regret Gao Tianyuan, but it's fine if you come here. Treat the company as your own home. We are all tired of logging! By the way, what sense do you carry Body implants?"

Yamazaki Ayato's muscles tensed for a while,
"Are you referring to Gao Tianyuan's prosthetic body? Yes, this is what my supervisor applied to the company for me to help in the laboratory, but now there are some twists and turns, so the usage permission cannot be activated..."

"Oh," Li Pan looked at him, "When you officially join our company, your whole body prosthetic body will be destroyed, doesn't it matter? Do you want to think about it?"

Ayato Yamazaki was stunned.
"Destroy? Excuse me, what do you mean by stripping the prosthetic body?"

Li Pan snapped his fingers,
"There is no need for surgery, it is very safe, just like this, with a click, the equipment will be reimbursed at once, and of course you can reinstall it after you join the job. Anyway, don't ask me, I don't understand, just ask It's black technology."

Yamazaki Ayato hesitated for a moment.

Li Pan still wished that he would give up by himself, so he nodded repeatedly,

"It's okay, it's okay, I understand, after all, the prosthetic body is so expensive, there's nothing you can do if you can't bear it."

Yamazaki Ayato hesitated for a moment, and said,

"No, I understand... In fact, to be honest, the laboratory I planned to work in has a very high level of secrecy, and a monitoring implant is installed in the brain. Once there is a breach of contract, my circuit chip will be blown. , and most surgeons are not sure about removing it safely. Can your company really...can remove this thing?"

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

"Well, do you want to try it? But let me state in advance that although our company's temporary workers are free to leave, they have to do business at least once according to the process, and they don't pay wages until the settlement date. If you don't want the money, you can It doesn't matter, you can report your resignation at any time."

Yes, in fact, no one is forcing you to complete the three-year period.Unlike most companies in the sky, which are like contract-like non-compete agreements, employees of Monster Company can leave at any time.

Of course, the company will delete your relevant memories of monsters, and props such as silver key suits will also be recycled.But in theory, as long as the resume review is passed and a business is issued, the file can be established with the first file report, and regardless of success or failure, you can leave at any time.

'Temporary' workers.

Considering the company's usual use of temporary workers and the average task survival rate, it is not the issue of 'leaving the job' that needs to be worried most.

"Okay, please let me have a try, Ye Lu dies bitterly!"

Ayato Yamazaki bowed ninety degrees.

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

"All right."

Ayato Yamazaki, "???"

Li Pan randomly gave him a 'monster survey',
"Here, I'll give you a field mission. I'll go to the hospital for a check-up on the way. The implants should be gone."

Ayato Yamazaki, "???"

So the kid was in a daze and forced to get out of the task.

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

Then Li Pan himself casually flipped through a lot of tasks sent by the fax machine. Don’t look at it, there are really not many “investigation” ones. You can find monsters wherever you can scan the video. 'purchase'.

After all, he is already the No.14 manager. He has basically figured out what kind of monsters are in the 0791 plane, who owns them, and what characteristics they have.

Li Pan made a random selection, planning to pick a few "purchases" and take the newcomers undercover to do it.Those big companies at the same level haven't got the confidence to touch it yet. At this time, they just stare at Gao Tianyuan to do it well.

In this way, even if the Security Bureau finds him, Li Pan is only doing business for the company, normal business behavior, and naturally has nothing to do with terrorists like Chi Tiangou.

Soon Li Pan found a suitable target.

Just in the mountainous area near the capital of night, it is the treasure of the town hospital of a reserved recuperation tourist resort under Tokugawa Medical, known as the 'Fountain of Youth'.

This 'fountain of youth' was first discovered by villagers in the mountains. They said that the spring water was particularly sweet and claimed to prolong life.

But there is one thing to say, the local Orientals are rich in elderly people, which village doesn't have a lot of old men and women, and who doesn't drink water.And the water quality did not detect anything abnormal, it was just ordinary mineral water, so people didn't pay attention to it at first, and it was only used as a gimmick for local tourism, and by the way, to promote folk customs.

It wasn't until some criminal case happened later that the entire village died, and the police discovered during investigation that the identities of the people in this village were faked, and some people actually lived to be two hundred years old!

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

So naturally, this case and the legend of the local 'Fountain of Youth' attracted the attention of both Gao Tianyuan and Monster Company, and each sent people to investigate.But the entire mountain was Gao Tianyuan's private territory, and it was not convenient for the company to investigate. The final result was that Tokugawa Medical opened a sanatorium resort, which became a private residence for the company's presidents to recuperate.

Seeing that Gao Tianyuan's executives are retired, they like to live there, and it's just 'immortal' and not 'immortal', and there seems to be no risk of losing control, so Monster Company doesn't care much, and keeps observing for the time being.

But now the situation has changed, the Tokugawa Zaibatsu is definitely doomed, and the Monster Company naturally intends to take a share of the action. It will not participate in the battle here in the capital of the night, but it can be forcibly seized and used as the company's assets buy it.

But first of all, we still have to check whether the 'Fountain of Youth' is still effective, and it can be considered as public travel.
