Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 429 Sequence
You wake up, recovering from a deep sleep that lasted for ten cycles, to the point that you had almost forgotten how to use your body and desperately needed to relearn how to breathe and metabolize.

But it's okay. Although your personal memory bank is still being downloaded and integrated, your memories, knowledge, experience, emotions, and social relationships are still entangled in a quantum state countless light-years away.

However, your core consciousness has been matched with the wet component, which includes the sequence key of your company title, permission level, and performance indicators, and has also been identified and certified by the company system.

You have now successfully activated the tutorial.

"Original gene, deviation value returned to zero."

"Memory overlap chord progress, 21 percent."

"Welcome back, CD-SSC-Deneb-319."

Current sequence KPI, LYT95TCR85CTB90CLB82, weighted score 88, operational sequence positive deviation +12, excellent.

Current sequence SQC, 300; current plane MET exchange rate, 0.2/0.2/1.

Current sequence wet component, Lepidoptera-Moth prototype…

Although you're still a bit confused and don't quite understand what's going on, with the help of the beginner's tutorial, some basic common sense is being instilled into your brain.

CD-SSC-Deneb-319, Control Division, Sequence Section Chief, responsible for security and insurrection. Deneb-319 is your personal codename; you were probably born near the constellation Cygnus.

In short, the sequence is the work period, the shift schedule, 60 standard Earth years. After all, in this day and age, humans can theoretically live indefinitely, and there is no such thing as 'retirement' anymore. And companies won't spend money to provide retirement for idle people.

Therefore, every 60 years, the company will conduct KPI performance assessments, and decide whether to renew the agreement and keep the contract in the next project sequence based on the company's loyalty, the number of tasks completed, the performance target achieved, and the team's productivity weighted score.

Different companies have different evaluation systems, but in layman's terms, excellent performance means good results. Being 10 points above the deviation value of the same level is considered excellent. This means you can keep your job in the next tier and may even be eligible for a promotion and a raise, reaching the pinnacle of your career.

Similarly, performance below the deviation value of -10 for the same period may trigger a negative review, leading to a demotion. If there are three consecutive negative reviews, or if the weighted score in any period is below 60, it will be classified as failing and the employee will naturally be laid off.

As for SQC, Sequence Quantum Credit Points, it is not actually a currency. It is a loan limit that the company approves for you based on your past work performance and spending.

MET, on the other hand, represents the amount of matter, energy, and time that each SQC can be exchanged for. For example, you can exchange 1 SQC for 1 unit of Earth year of time, or the equivalent of one year's production of matter and energy.

Of course, time cannot be quantified. We can only say that during this year, unless you are caught in a nuclear explosion or production accident and die instantly, leaving no trace, you can enjoy the company's basic life support, including food, clothing, shelter, medical care, and health, to ensure you live through this 'one year'. And this is only the minimum maintenance guarantee for your current wet-body survival status; additional luxuries such as prosthetic repair and enhancement will definitely cost extra.

Alternatively, based on the current MET exchange rate in the universe, you can use 0.2 SQCs to exchange for one year's material or energy production capacity of the current dimensional company's assets. As for what form of material energy is produced, it depends on the technology, patents, and manpower spent on mining and processing, and there are naturally more detailed algorithmic bonuses. But in any case, considering the size of the company, each SQC is a huge sum of money.

Yes, you've noticed that you don't actually have any real personal assets; you only have company debts. Everything you have—your food, clothing, shelter, transportation—is provided by the company. You are the company's asset, its so-called human resources.

So if you really get laid off, how will you survive after leaving the company? You don't know, and you don't dare to know. All you know is that suddenly waking up from the silence of the ten sequences and returning to the mother nest plane where you were born must mean something really bad has happened.

So, disregarding the fact that the memory bank was still being updated, you quickly downloaded the relevant memories of this plane and immediately checked the recent business reports from the control department, instantly spotting the problem.

A report was delivered unauthorizedly through an illegal channel to your private memory bank, triggering an alarm on the company's intranet firewall.

In this situation, you would normally just hand it over to a subordinate or transfer it to the head of the information security department. But you noticed the report submitter's name: OHR-LHA-115.

You certainly remember LHA-115, a native, outsourced employee, and henchman you personally recruited about twenty sequences ago when you were still the supervisor of this plane. He had worked with you for many years.

Those 'illegal channels' and 'private numbers' are naturally the emergency contact methods you give to the other party.

You even gave him your own spare combat gear as a mission reward, so he can indeed be considered your trusted confidant of many years and a combat asset that can be used at any time.

So you choose to deactivate the alarm and take a look at the report.

Native Sync Proposal.

In short, this is a recruitment proposal. LHA-115 recommends an Indigenous person to you and hopes the company will conduct a recruitment interview.

Well, that does violate the company's rules.

Even if you climb up to the operational level and become a section chief involved in mid-level management across different dimensions, you still don't have the personnel authority to recruit full-time employees. OHR-LHA-115 is just an outsourced temporary worker without a contract, authority, or security.

Of course, the company usually turns a blind eye and tacitly allows full-time employees to hire outsourced personnel to ensure the smooth completion of performance targets. With your quota of 300 SQC, it usually doesn't matter.

The problem is that the natives of this world are different from others, and the company conducts exceptionally thorough reviews.

Yes, the plane known locally as 'Tai Chi Heaven' is unlike any other parallel universe Earth. Its MET exchange rate of 0.2/0.2/1 and its abundance of resources and energy are unparalleled anywhere else.

Therefore, the wet components deployed in this world, even with strict restrictions on technological development by the company, have almost unlocked resource limitations and broken through the shackles of evolution by relying on their individual abilities. Their growth speed and intensity far exceed the limits of other universes.

Take your recruited confidant, the Nascent Soul stage individual LHA-115, as an example.

Before you recruit him, he has already evolved naturally, demonstrating extremely strong individual abilities. His combat power can easily rival that of top-tier military vehicles. He also has an exceptionally long lifespan of at least twenty cycles, top-tier intelligence, and can quickly learn and adapt to all production and research projects, greatly improving your performance. It can be said that your ability to consistently achieve outstanding performance targets, rising from entry-level employee to supervisor to section chief, is inseparable from his assistance.

This cooperation is also mutually reinforcing. After receiving the materials, energy, and even specialized combat equipment provided by you through your private SQC, he also underwent a complete transformation during your ten-sequence cycle of business trips to the heavens. His combat power increased by leaps and bounds again, making him the leader of the native group and an extremely valuable asset. Even among the natives of Taiji Heaven, he is now an undisputed first-tier figure.

With such personal connections and cooperative relationships, you naturally trust LHA-115's judgment and recommendation.

The problem is that you can easily find out that the person he recommended is already on the company's blacklist.

The native 'Xuantian', a Nascent Soul Realm individual, is extremely dangerous. It has been identified as a super-powerful combat weapon resulting from a low-probability mutation during natural evolution. It has repeatedly interfered with the normal operation of the client's storyline, and its deviation value has exceeded the limit. Threat level assessment: Level 7.

Although the world of 'Taiji Heaven' is teeming with powerful individuals and plagued by natural disasters, and the danger posed by wild natives is well-known, you still can't help but exclaim "Holy crap!" upon seeing this evaluation.

Level 7! Possesses the potential to cause the extinction of species on a dimensional level!? And it's a naturally evolved Level 7 soldier!? Why hasn't anyone reported such an absurd variant of a wet unit!?

Wait, what?! This thing was born less than four years ago, and it hasn't even completed a full sequence cycle! It practically sprang from the ground!

Now you're really shocked. No wonder LHA-115 made an urgent report. To put it bluntly, even he was shocked. This kind of supernatural entity is something that even the locals have never seen before... As a corporate dog who has been struggling and scheming in the office for more than twenty cycles, you immediately see an opportunity for promotion and a raise.

Yes, from entry-level employees in ten different roles to technical staff in ten different roles, from operations supervisors in ten different roles to project managers in ten different roles, you know clearly that your career path has come to an end.

After all, once you move up the operational hierarchy, you hit the so-called invisible ceiling.

Above this ceiling is the senior management hierarchy, consisting of ministers and managers in charge of various powerful departments, and executive general managers in charge of various dimensions of the world.

This kind of position isn't something you can achieve by simply working your way up through ten 20-series jobs, no matter how outstanding your performance is!

Even a minister who wants to enter the management level must have someone on the multiverse executive board.

Only with the support and impetus of powerful figures, through a vote by the multiverse executive board, and with the approval and signature of at least one director, can a management position be appointed.

Only by taking that step and crossing that invisible barrier can you possibly go from being a proletarian worker to stepping into the bourgeois class and achieving a class leap.

But as you know, this is incredibly difficult.
With so many planes of existence, so many universes, and so many people vying for these few positions, you're already doing well if you can't avoid being blamed and laid off by your superiors. What makes you think you can win the favor of the board of directors?

But now the opportunity has arrived!

A key to breaking through the invisible ceiling!

A mutant that emerged from the 'Tai Chi Heaven'!

This is an unprecedented, naturally evolved super-powerful combat soldier!

And it doesn't even require a cycle! You can quickly produce level 7 military combat wet parts!
All you need is his gene seed, the original blueprint, and the evolutionary chart!

Forget about being a minister or executive director! You'd probably even have a seat on the board of directors!

You're so excited, you almost want to officially recognize LHA-115 as a professional.

But you were also afraid. You were afraid that such a good opportunity hadn't been reported to you by any other subordinates! You had to find out about it through an outsourced informant!

So you immediately checked the current situation of 'Tai Chi Heaven' and found that perhaps no one else had noticed, because the executive director was currently busy dealing with complaints from major investors.

Hmm, it seems the big spender who bought the custom script for the 'Tai Chi Heaven' game series has filed a complaint with the company.

After all, they spent a lot of money and used all their cheat codes, originally intending to roam the world, sweep across the eight wastelands, and experience the exhilarating journey of becoming a king and conquering all.

As a result, people discovered halfway through the game that the script was different from what was agreed upon.

How are these natives so strong? It's illogical for one immortal to defeat tens of thousands of my soldiers! Is it the fault of cheating or am I cheating?!
If people aren't having fun, of course they'll stop playing. Now the boss is making a huge fuss about getting a refund and is in a lawsuit with the legal department; it's even taken to the head office.

The entire company is currently facing the risk of failing to meet performance targets, so there's really no time to deal with other trivial matters. Everyone is extremely busy and working overtime to prepare a bunch of new scripts, hoping to salvage the boss's reputation and improve performance.

Of course, this has nothing to do with you. After all, your main task in the control department is to manage the risks of wet components and prevent these level 7 soldiers from revolting...

Well, it seems that you could use your authority to hide Xuan Tian's file in the Control Department under the pretext of "risk of rebellion," marking it as "under investigation of a classified case," to prevent it from being accessed and discovered by others.

Okay, it's hidden. Now you can calm down and think carefully about this situation. Is it a trap, a pit deliberately dug for you? Or is someone behind your back keeping the research results to themselves and trying to get credit from the board of directors without your knowledge?
Of course, you also know very well that there is no time for hesitation.

After all, although you have direct authority over this case, you're ultimately just a section chief. You have a direct supervisor, and your direct supervisor has a direct supervisor. How could information that you have access to possibly escape their notice?

You clearly understand that this level of achievement is enough to alarm even figures at the executive director or director level to compete for it!

Then it will be a real battle between immortals. For the sake of absolute information security and technical confidentiality, a nobody like you with no backing or background will be wiped out instantly and won't even know how you died!

Strike first, or suffer the consequences! We must keep Xuan Tian under our control!

So you decided to descend to the mortal realm immediately.

The fastest way is to activate the quantum link, activate the backup wet files that the company has set up in the Celestial Palace, and even Xuan Tian has one with him. Just activate the link and possess it.

However, this is not safe, as it will leave a record in the QHLR, which the information security department can easily find. It is safer to meet in person.

You think it makes sense, but you also think it's wrong. After all, to meet in person, you would have to take a spaceship there, wouldn't that attract more attention?
You could disguise yourself as a shooting star; doesn't the company frequently airdrop egg cases?

You think it makes sense, but you also think it's wrong, since the egg case delivery capsule is too small; how could a person get in?

A person can't fit inside, but your head can fit perfectly.

You mean, drop your head down to Earth?

Yes, if you airdrop your head down to the mortal realm and deliver it to Xuan Tian, ​​the company won't find out.

You think that makes a lot of sense.

So you slit your own throat and cut off your own head.

So you stained your forehead with your own blood, drew blood talismans on your forehead, and airdropped them to the earth via the egg sheath delivery pod, sending them to Xuan Tian.

So you delete all browsing history to ensure that your unauthorized access to Xuan Tian's entire data file is not discovered by anyone else in the company.

So you lay back in your sleep pod and rejected three hundred emergency medical care requests from the system.

Then you die.
