Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 215: Green Snow Star Bidding Conference

When the Buddha heard this, he showed a look of understanding and said, "I understand."

"My friend, the reason why you parked the starship in outer space and did not launch an attack is because you wanted to sneak into the Tower Company first to steal all kinds of useful information."

"I guess I guessed it right?"

"Indeed." Xie Shen nodded and said, "In addition to the intelligence, there is also the happiness deprivation device that can extract human happiness. I am also determined to get it."

“Fellow Daoist, please don’t say I am pouring cold water on you.” The Buddha followed up on Xie Shen’s words and said, “Although fellow Daoist has a cultivation base at the Spiritualization Stage and a variety of methods, it is effortless for him to enter and exit the Tower Company.”

“But the problem is.”

"What's the problem?" Xie Shen asked.

The Buddha replied: "As far as I know, all public terminals in the tower company are equipped with biometric technology."

“It’s almost impossible to gain access without being an insider.”

"so."

"Fellow Daoist, your plan may not go as smoothly as you imagined."

"Biometrics?" Xie Shen thought for a moment and said, "This problem doesn't seem to be too difficult, does it?"

"Once I sneak into the Tower Corporation, I can just capture an insider and scan his retina or fingerprint. Wouldn't that make it easy to gain access?"

"Heh." The Buddha shook his head and said with a wry smile, "To be honest, I have tried to sneak into the Tower Company before."

“But I never thought that the tower company’s public terminals were not only equipped with biometric technology.”

"When different people access the site, corresponding passwords will be automatically generated."

"These passwords are known only to the visitor."

"So you grab any insider and cut off their finger or eyeball and scan their retina and fingerprints."

“That alone won’t work.”

"You also have to have their password."

"It's just asking for a password. Isn't that simple?" Xie Shen said without hesitation: "If you want to force a password out of someone, there are many ways to do it."

"For example, threatening the other party with his life."

"Or use benefits to lure them."

"If it doesn't work, I have some pills that can affect people's minds."

"Just one pill, and the other party will confess his entire ancestry."

"Fellow Daoist, you don't know this." The Buddha reminded Xie Shen, "The senior executives of the Tower Company rarely show up in public. They are usually invisible."

"If you just barge into their headquarters like this, not only will it be difficult to meet them, but you might even alert them."

"If those high-ranking officials knew that you were coming for them, and that you are extremely powerful."

"Then they will definitely become more cautious in the future."

"Your chance of succeeding is even smaller."

this.
Xie Shen frowned after hearing this and said, "Even if the top executives rarely show up, there must be some people working at the headquarters of Tower Company, right?"

"Why don't I just go and catch those who are working?"

"Some of them must have access to the terminal."

The Buddha still smiled bitterly.

He responded to Xie Shen: "Those who stay at the headquarters of the tower company are generally middle-level personnel within the company."

"Indeed, the backbone and elite among those people do have access rights to the terminal."

“But the problem is.”

"All the middle-level personnel of Tower Company have been transformed into Ascendants without exception."

"This causes their mental state to become somewhat crazy."

The Buddha described: "Daoyou, I don't know if you have seen fanatics."

"Those ascenders are like fanatics who have been brainwashed by religion."

"I once captured one of them alive."

"But those lunatics, no matter how harshly they are punished, will never bow to you."

"So whether it's coercion, bribery, or the use of drugs to control his mind."

“These methods are useless to the middle-level staff of Tower Company who have become Ascendants.”

The top management of Tower Corporation has always been elusive.

The middle-level staff were all a group of fanatical followers of the ascenders, and they were completely unyielding.

Now Xie Shen was really at his wits' end.

He looked at the Buddha and said, "Since you can tell me so much information in one breath, I think you must have done some research in advance."

"So, fellow Daoist, can you think of any good way to help me sneak into the Tower Company and obtain intelligence?"

"I do have a plan." In front of all the monks present, the Buddha said to Xie Shen: "Although the top executives of the Tower Company rarely appear in public, they will definitely be present at the bidding conference held every three years."

"Tendering conference?" Xie Shen asked doubtfully.

The Buddha explained: "The population on Green Snow Star is huge, and its territory is vast."

"So it is definitely impossible to coordinate the overall situation by relying solely on the staff within the tower company."

"So in order to share the huge workload, the tower company will hold a bidding conference every three years."

"The purpose is to delegate tasks such as water and electricity supply, infrastructure construction and maintenance, and public security management to large and medium-sized enterprises, thereby reducing their own pressure and burden."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shen. You originally came from a technological civilization."

The Buddha continued: "So you should be clear without me saying more - this is a management model dominated by capital."

"I understand that. You don't need to elaborate." Xie Shen went straight to the point and said, "So what you mean is that you want me to take advantage of the bidding meeting to directly break into the venue and control all the senior executives of Tower Company?"

"Ah."

The Buddha nodded and said, "Although the security at the bidding conference is as strict as that at the headquarters of the Tower Company."

"If I had taken the initiative in this operation, I would have gone there without returning."

"But fellow Daoist Xie, you are a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage."

"If my guess is correct, your strength is definitely ten or even dozens of times stronger than mine."

"So you should be able to do what I can't do."

"How about it?"

The Buddha finally asked Xie Shen: "Do you think this plan is feasible?"

Break into the bidding conference by force?
After hearing what the Buddha said, Xie Shen's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and he stood there in silence for a long time.

See his hesitation.

The Buddha added: "Most of the senior executives of the Tower Company are greedy for life and afraid of death, and most of them have not been transformed into ascenders."

"So as long as we can capture those people alive, we can force out all the secrets about the Ascendants and the Happiness Deprivation Device."

Although the plan provided by the Buddha does sound feasible.

But out of caution, Xie Shen did not rush to make a decision. Instead, he put his hand on the combat power detector and said to Zhuge Fu who was far away in the starship command room.

"Zhuge Fu"

"You should be able to hear the plan that Daoist Fellow Shanfan just mentioned, right?"

"Let the think tank on the spacecraft help analyze whether there are any loopholes in this plan."

——During this expedition to Green Snow Star, Xie Shen not only brought Zhuge Fu to manage logistics, but also several experts in psychology and social behavior to accompany him as a think tank to provide tactical support.

After a short wait.

Zhuge Fu conveyed on behalf of the think tank that had already discussed the results: "You can ask Shan Fan first. How many senior executives will be present at the bidding conference?" "Yes." Xie Shen asked the Buddha as he said.

The latter replied: "In order to appease the poor workers at the lower and middle levels on Green Snow Star, the top management of Tower Company will decide which companies will win the bid based on the results of the public vote."

“Since it is a voting system, it must be broadcast live throughout the process so that the public can cooperate with it offline.”

"And since it's a live broadcast, the top executives of Tower Corporation will have to show up and be present."

The Buddha affirmed: "So you can rest assured about this."

"By then, at least 90% of the senior executives of Tower Corporation will attend the conference."

Inside the combat power detector.

After listening to the Buddha's answer, Zhuge Fu was silent for more than half a minute and then said: "Considering that our expedition team is strong enough, no matter what kind of accident we encounter, we can directly crush it with our strength."

"So, there is no need to delve into the details any further."

"As long as we can meet with the top management of the tower company smoothly, then the rest of the problems will not be a problem."

house.

After hearing what Zhuge Fu said, Xie Shen immediately made a decision: to kidnap the top executives of Tower Company at the bidding conference in order to force them to extract useful information.

Just in case.

Finally, Xie Shen did not forget to glance at the practitioners in the room.

He asked the Buddha: "Can you trust these people under you? What if they go to inform the Tower Company?"

"Don't worry about that." The Buddha vowed: "After learning from the experience of the traitor Xinan, I will never make the same mistake again."

"Before this operation, I will keep a close eye on all my subordinates and will not give the traitor any chance to tip off."

"Okay." Xie Shen nodded and said no more about it.

He just confirmed with the Buddha and said, "When will the bidding conference be held?"

"No more, no less, exactly one month later!"

The Buddha replied.

...

time flies.

During the waiting period.

In addition to seclusion to consolidate his own cultivation, Xie Shen also took the opportunity to give some guidance to the Buddha and his fellow practitioners.

After receiving guidance from the cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage, the cultivation of all the practitioners, including the Buddha, has improved to a certain extent.

Some people even broke through the bottleneck during this period and directly crossed a great realm.
...

On March 6294, 3 AD, the day when the bidding conference was held.

Inside Danqiu City Sports Hall.

Same as previous years.

Those who came to attend this meeting were all the actual controllers of major companies or chaebols on Green Snow Star.

Therefore, from the first floor to the top floor of the gymnasium, armed guards are deployed to guard almost every corner.

These guards are all elite soldiers selected from hundreds of thousands, and most of them are ascenders, so there is no need to worry about their loyalty.

Of course.

These defensive forces were almost useless in front of Xie Shen, who had reached the Spirit Transformation Stage.

With the ability to ignore obstacles and the magic to hide his body, Xie Shen, with the Buddha, easily sneaked into the top floor of the Danqiu City Sports Center.

in the corridor.

Xie Shen released his spiritual sense and quickly scanned the entire conference hall.

He sent a message to the Buddha beside him: "The seats in the hall are basically full."

"The photographer responsible for the live broadcast and the host of this meeting are also in place."

"We're here at the perfect time."

"Then," the Buddha asked Xie Shen using the same method of transmitting sound into secrets, "Should we set up the formation now? Or should we wait and see what happens and wait a little longer?"

"Let's set up the formation first." Xie Shen commanded, "In short, we need to trap everyone in the venue first, so that they won't find out what's going on and take the opportunity to escape."

"Row."

The Buddha nodded.

He tapped the storage bag on his waist and directly took out a small piece of scarlet flesh and a full glass bottle of black mist.

The Buddha looked at the unknown materials used in the formation and said to Xie Shen, "Daoyou, this Flesh and Blood Spiritual Light Formation is my first time setting up."

“Please bear with me if there are any mistakes or omissions in the process.”

"Don't worry about that." Xie Shen comforted him, "Just let it go and wait until the formation is set up. I will check it again."

"That's good." The Buddha said no more.

He cast a spell to embed the glass bottle into the wall, and then placed several restrictions on it to prevent it from being easily destroyed.

In this way, the core of the formation that maintains the operation of the entire Lingguang formation has been arranged.

——After the eye of the formation is arranged, it can be clearly observed that countless black threads are spreading out from the glass bottle and gradually covering the wall.

This is not finished.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Shen was seen activating the black mist in his body, which turned into a huge force and crushed the scarlet flesh in his hand into a pool of blood.

Under the pull of his magic power, the pool of blood was also embedded into the wall.

As scarlet flesh and blood, that is, the source of pollution from the unspeakable creature 'Wu', was mixed into it, the spiritual light array was upgraded to a flesh and blood spiritual light array.

While the two were setting up the formation, the conference hall where the bidding conference was held was also busy.

Through the wall.

I could hear someone in the hall reading in a broadcasting voice.

"Good morning, all citizens of Green Snow."

“The next step is to launch the bidding for water and electricity supply projects in various cities.”

“There are three quotas for this bidding.”

"The companies that have been selected include: Ian Group, Zhenxing Water, and Holles Trading."

"The voting will last 60 minutes and the clock will start immediately."

Time passed by minute by minute.

Wait until the scarlet flesh and blood completely merges with the glass bottle at the center of the formation.

It can be clearly observed that the black threads that gradually covered the entire wall had been turned into scarlet without anyone noticing.

Countless scarlet threads intertwined together like an iron net, trapping everyone in the conference hall.

At the same time.

When the blood, flesh and spiritual light array was completed.

As the wall gradually turned scarlet.

Finally, someone in the conference hall noticed this anomaly, and some people who couldn't keep their composure even started to cry out in surprise.

"Look at that wall!"

"What's going on?"

"Quiet, everyone, please be quiet!"

In an instant, the entire live broadcast site became chaotic.
