World version update

Chapter 82: Portable Intelligent Brain (Fourth Update)
When Scott said this, Lu Yan in the box couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

The psychic tax is collected from corpses. I have to admire the creativity of the cyber version.

But what made Lu Yan even more speechless was that Quentin and Shaq in the box were actually seriously thinking about the rationality of this psychic tax.

Shaq slapped his thigh and said through gritted teeth:

“I was wondering before why the corpse factory would sign an ownership agreement when purchasing corpses, claiming that they were just borrowing the corpses and the ownership rights still belonged to the Arena.

At that time, I just thought they wanted to pay less tax on corpses, but I didn't expect their real purpose was to avoid the psychic tax on corpses from falling on them."

"Damn it! I should have gone to Midtown and spent some money to consult a judge before selling the body!"

Lu Yan glanced at the USB flash drive in his hand with an indifferent expression, and began to think seriously, since Shaq has been targeted by the law enforcement officer, should he get rid of Shaq to avoid implicating himself?

Shaq, who was cursing, suddenly felt a chill in his heart, thinking of Lu Yan's special identity, and hurriedly said:

“Please rest assured, sir. Although the psychic tax is troublesome, it is not without a solution.

I have some connections in the city tax bureau, and as long as I can escape this inspection, I can pay the psychic tax."

Lu Yan looked at Shak with some suspicion in his eyes.

"Psychic tax is the biggest concern of the giant corporations in the universe. Can it escape sanctions so easily?"

Shaq's broken face showed an ugly smile:

“The psychic tax is indeed harsh, but no matter how harsh the law is, doesn’t it all depend on how the people below enforce it?

As a major taxpayer in the Lower Town, many dignitaries are our guests, so it is normal for us to receive some preferential treatment at the City Taxation Bureau."

Lu Yan pointed in the direction of Scott.

"That law enforcement officer is not a good person. Are you sure you can handle him?"

Lu Yan's spiritual sense could sense that Scott's psychic power had reached a level close to the tenth level of Qi training, ranking first among all the psychics Lu Yan had seen.

More importantly, Scott's psychic transformation is not as simple as that of other psychics.

Beneath the seemingly ordinary appearance, complex psychic codes are neatly engraved in the bones and muscles, and what flows in the blood vessels is not blood, but surging psychic energy.

It can be said that in the entire arena, Scott appears to be the person closest to an ordinary person in appearance, but in fact he has long since departed from the essence of humanity and is like a sophisticated psychic machine.

"This is the psychic from Uptown? That's really interesting."

If it weren't for the desire to avoid exposing himself, Lu Yan would even want to capture Scott and study him thoroughly, perhaps deepening his understanding of the psychic system.

"Him?" Shaq glanced at Scott from a distance, with a bit of fear and disdain in his eyes.

“The Enforcer is indeed the most ferocious hyena under the City Taxation Bureau, but not everyone agrees with the Enforcer.

Their power is too great, and there have long been voices from various factions that want to weaken the power of the law enforcers. As long as they can escape the arena, someone will naturally help to hold back this trouble."

Lu Yan's eyes swept across the law enforcement team members wearing exoskeletons and holding psychic firearms. In terms of the psychic energy in these people's bodies, they couldn't even reach the first level of Qi training.

But with the help of psychic firearms, it would be absolutely easy to massacre the entire arena.

"How are you going to escape?"

Shaq smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, someone will attract the law enforcement officer's attention for us."

As soon as he finished speaking, a violent explosion was heard outside the arena. Flames and shock waves rushed into the gate, and flying motorcycles from the central city were sent directly into the sky.

The environment of the cave does not allow large machinery to enter, and the law enforcement team's use of flying motorcycles is already the limit.

"who is it?"

Scott's expression suddenly changed, and he looked towards the center of the explosion with a sharp gaze. Then bursts of sharp laughter rang out in the smoke. "You bastards from the law enforcement team, this is a little gift from the downtown area to you!"

The members of the law enforcement team raised their psychic firearms, and the intelligent assistance system easily locked onto the target in the smoke.

"Fire!"

Flames spurted out, and violent spiritual energy pierced through the smoke and dust with scorching heat, turning the target into a sieve.

As the gunshots rang out, someone in the crowd of the arena immediately shouted loudly: "The law enforcement officer is about to start a massacre, everyone run for your lives!"

Almost in an instant, the order maintained in the arena was broken.

The panicked crowd climbed over the stands and rushed towards the outer wall of the building. The psychics who had undergone alienation and transformation smashed big holes in it, and a large number of people rushed to the outside world through the holes.

Shaq raised the personal terminal in his hand and lightly touched a button on it. A layer of camouflage skin spread from the personal terminal to his entire body, covering up the highly recognizable metal skin.

Then Shaq said to Lu Yan with a smile:

"What we in the Lower City fear the most is law enforcement officers who don't follow the rules and start massacres on a large scale. No matter how many methods we have, we are helpless.

On the contrary, this kind of law enforcement officer who abides by the rules gives us some opportunities to take advantage of.”

"It is not advisable to stay here for long. Please come with me and leave through the underground passage."

Lu Yan stood up and nodded, and Quentin beside him quickly followed Lu Yan, looking like a loyal younger brother.

Shaq reached out and picked up the silver password box on the table, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.

Such a big change happened in the arena. If it were the same as in the past, even if he could escape by chance, he would have to pay a huge price to settle the matter.

But with this Nine Dragon Power Potion, things will be completely different.

Before finding a channel to obtain the Nine Dragons Power potion, the various forces in the Lower City will inevitably take the initiative to unite and guarantee themselves. As long as they are not caught by law enforcement officers, there are plenty of opportunities to escape punishment.

As for the arena? With the Nine Dragons Power Potion, he could build as many arenas as he wanted.

In addition, teaming up with Lu Yan, a fallen person who is suspected to be of a very high status, also gave Shaq more confidence.

Just as he was about to walk out of the box and head for the underground passage, Shaq's eyes suddenly swept across the many subordinates in the box.

These subordinates have seen him, Lu Yan, and the magical effects of the Nine Dragons Potion. If they stay here and are caught by law enforcement officers, they will inevitably get into trouble.

There was a glimmer of cruelty in his eyes, and Shaq raised his right hand and was about to attack.

At this moment, Lu Yan raised his right hand and made a seal. The magic power spread deep into the souls of everyone, erasing their memories by searching their souls.

The confused expressions on the faces of these subordinates who were under the spell disappeared, and their bodies fell heavily to the ground as if they had lost support.

"I have already erased their memories within half an hour. No trace will be left."

Shaq's face showed even more awe when he heard that, and he took the initiative to push open the door of the box.

At this moment, the outside was already in chaos, and even if the law enforcement team fired warning shots, they were unable to stop the riot.

Led by Shaq, the two quickly approached the underground passage.

But just as they were about to reach the underground passage, the pocket watches on the wrists of Lu Yan and the other two flashed a faint light at the same time, followed by a cold mechanical sound.

"Law enforcement intelligence computer 0776 has been locked, please surrender as soon as possible!"

When Shaq heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

"He has a personal computer? How is that possible?"
