Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 585 Rebirth Through a Shell
The old man smiled and said, "This ability mechanism is very simple. As long as you find another life that does not resist or oppose you, you can merge with it and change your appearance."

"The risk is that if the other party refuses, I will be kicked out."

"The best life is one that has not yet fully developed self-awareness. But finding a suitable individual is not easy."

"So I want to use the company's shell for a while."

The old man slowly said, "After being reborn through a shell company, I will represent the company's will. This is my job and the driving force behind the new shell. The stronger the company is, the stronger I am. Dragon is my private identity."

Zhou Yi immediately consulted Xiaofu.

The tracing agent said, "There is no risk involved. Its core objective is to use the company's will to recreate the human world, circumvent the divine and human realms, and obtain a naturally powerful identity."

"Because the company's prototype is you, Da Zhou, you can directly influence the company's conceptual consciousness, and it cannot disobey you. Even if there are any problems, you can reorganize this conceptual entity."

"There is special equipment in the plastic fire station to handle this situation."

Once the risks were confirmed to be manageable, Zhou Yi made a plan.

He looked at the dragon: "This ability is somewhat similar to that of the Lord of the Dead Sea, which also involves absorbing other conceptual life forms."

"That's a huge difference."

The old man shook his head: "Deceiving the heavens and crossing the sea can only accumulate identities, using different consciousnesses as shells to move around. When using a shell, it is that identity, and you can only use the existing abilities and characteristics of that identity."

"The Lord of the Dead Sea is the one that is completely integrated. However, it cannot completely absorb everything. It needs to have a prototype that is related to it. The Sun God was merged because its prototype is the sun, which is a different form of the same origin as the Lord of the Dead Sea."

"Like land, there is always a part that is not covered by the Dead Sea, so the concept of land cannot be completely swallowed up."

Zhou Yi remembers.

The Earth God also mentioned this. Ninety-nine percent of its power was taken by the Lord of the Dead Sea.

"can."

Zhou Yi asked, "What do I need to do?"

Long immediately perked up, and the age spots and wrinkles on his face seemed to have diminished considerably: "It's very simple. I will enter the consciousness side, find the company's conceptual life form, and use the Deception technique to enter its shell. At that time, you will sense it, and I will contact you through the dragon mark."

"You just need to not object."

Zhou Yi agreed.

The old man vanished from the spot in an instant.

moment.

Zhou Yi felt something prick him.

A black and white image appeared before my eyes.

The consciousness-side perspective is activated.

Before me was a huge block made of black and white consciousness keys, which rotated and alternated with each other, like a black and white Rubik's Cube that was changing naturally.

At this moment, the two-dimensional dragon pattern was already very close to it, but it could not get any closer.

Zhou Yi had a sudden thought.

The dragon pattern then entered the Rubik's Cube.

Then the entire black and white Rubik's Cube suddenly accelerated its rotation, the two-color consciousness keys rotated wildly and continuously, and the entire structure changed rapidly.

The sound of a dragon echoed in my mind.

What kind of image do you want the company to project?

"Now it can be fixed in an initial form, and this image will exist as a marker for a long time."

The first thing Zhou Yi thought of was a beautiful girl.

Such an appealing image is more memorable and easier to spread.

but.

Zhou Yi's eyes finally cleared: "Samurai Crab."

The creation of the Wasteland Development Company began with Samurai Crabs, and they are the company's logo. As the image of the company concept, Samurai Crabs should also be used.

"it is good."

The black and white Rubik's Cube spun and shaped into a giant samurai crab made of black and white, its body seemingly covered in black and white paint.

But soon.

It turned completely white again.

The dragon said, "I have already mastered how to use its shell."

"The concept of a company has two characteristics."

"This current absorption state allows us to quickly capture fragments of consciousness about the company generated by the consciousness side, enabling us to grow more rapidly and continuously; it is a foraging state."

"Then comes the second state."

Its entire body turned pitch black instantly.

"This is a radiation state, which allows one to apply fragments of one's own consciousness to other consciousnesses."

"It has to be said that the company concept has a very strong ability to output consciousness... This kind of super talent is innate and cannot be generated later. It is related to the characteristics of the prototype itself. It either exists or it doesn't exist."

The dragon exclaimed, "If we let it grow, it will be quite extraordinary."

Zhou Yi asked, puzzled, "Explain this kind of consciousness output in detail."

"Mr. Zhou should know that consciousness has always been in a state similar to metabolism."

“A large number of fragments and consciousness radiation are emitted around the consciousness body, and the instinct is to expand the range of its own consciousness influence. At the same time, it also needs to absorb external consciousness fragments in order to complete the movement and evolution of the consciousness field.”

“This natural dispersal and absorption is like human breathing.” The dragon moved its crab claws and continued, “The concept of a company allows it to implant fragments of its own consciousness into the bodies of other consciousnesses. Just like this.”

Its body began to emit a large number of tiny fragments, which flowed into the body of a snake woman who was looking over.

The other side paused for a moment, then twisted its body and swam towards them.

She bowed to Zhou Yi: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Zhou, the chairman of the wasteland development company?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "It's me."

"I am a second-level cultivator from the Dragon Palace, and my name is She Yao."

The other person's voice was a little nervous and trembling: "My major is zoology, specializing in animal evolution and systematics. I have studied the evolution of many basic animals, including gerbils, mole crickets, bees, ants... I really like your company, and I really want to work for your company after graduation..."

She Yao was dressed in a white robe, her face full of unease, her fingers clenched tightly.

Her life level is C.

This reminded Zhou Yi of the first time he encountered the snake woman, which was outside the "Lucky Pendulum" casino here, where he met a prostitute soliciting customers.

This group is rarely seen outside of the Forbidden Mainland.

Zhou Yi asked curiously, "What race are you?"

"I am a snake-person, a hybrid."

She Yao calmed down a little at this point.

Zhou Yi suddenly realized.

Mixed-race.

Just like Lu Na, the doctor he recruited here before.

"You said you study animal evolution?"

"Yes, this is my direction." The other person nodded.

"You're very familiar with gerbils?"

"I can't speak for others, but gerbils are the main species I've observed. They are widely distributed across various land areas and have a very sophisticated social structure, as well as a long history..."

Zhou Yi looked around and saw that the dragon had already reverted to its old-man form.

"Perfect timing, I was just about to talk to you about industry-academia collaboration. I'd like to have some of the people studying here go to the company to do experiments and develop actual projects. If they achieve results, it will be considered a joint patent of Longgong and the company. This will give them a practical opportunity, and the company can also better screen and find suitable talent for us in advance."

"how do you feel?"

Long readily agreed: "No problem."

Zhou Yi then turned to She Yao and said, "I'll have the company's medical department contact you later, because currently only the medical department is working on biology. You can come here for an internship and do some field research. We can provide ample funding and opportunities. Would you like to come?"

"Yes! Thank you so much!"

She Yao stammered, bowing repeatedly, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, thank you, Lord Long!"

"Cherish the opportunity and get on with your work."

The dragon waved its hand.

The snake woman left happily, unable to resist wagging her tail.

"Just like before."

Long continued, "Continuous output of consciousness will have a huge impact from the inside out, making the other party gravitate towards the company and tend to learn from and follow the company."

"Especially for lower-level life forms, their resistance is very weak, and they are easily influenced and turned into the company's most loyal supporters. However, the premise is that they themselves have an interest in the company. This is just the final catalyst to push them forward, rather than something that can be created out of thin air."

"I can use my company's identity to help you find and screen talent from outside, so that they will come to join the company on their own initiative."

Zhou Yi was tempted: "Deal."

Searching for talent has always been a challenge for companies.

In the wasteland era, each region is independent, with a huge gap between the rich and the poor, making real-time information transmission difficult. The vast majority of these are low-cost towns without any infrastructure or public information services. Even the most populous areas are unaware that companies are hiring or how to apply.

Now that Longqu has become a headhunter, it's like having another public talent recruitment window.

Long hesitated for a moment: "There is a bit of a problem with the elementary school connection."

“As for Sun Yat-sen University… I can’t persuade them. We’ve always had a cooperative relationship, not a superior-subordinate one, so I can’t help with the kind of connection you’re looking for.”

"I'll handle this myself."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "I have reached an agreement with Sun Yat-sen University. They are willing to accept outstanding students recommended by our Mushroom Forest Elementary School. We have five places each year for them to be admitted without taking the entrance exam. However, we will also adopt the policy of easy admission but strict graduation. If they fail a course, they will fail; if they have to extend their studies, they will have to extend their studies. If they do not meet the standards, they will not be able to get a graduation certificate."

The dragon was somewhat surprised: "How did you convince it?"

"Of course, we'll pay."

“I will sponsor 100 million light seeds every year to establish the ‘Dragon Palace Research Fund’ for special research in various fields of this university. However, the company will have the right of first refusal to purchase the patents.”

Zhou Yi crossed his legs: "Universities need to spend money to develop. Now that Sun Yat-sen University needs to expand, improve and further strengthen itself, and maintain the expenses and income of teachers, it won't be possible without a lot of money."

"..."

Long gave a wry smile: "You're certainly rich and powerful."

"Money is meant to be spent, and using it for scientific research is just the right thing to do. The results can indirectly benefit the vast majority of people. It's reasonable for us to receive some small privileges after spending the money."

Zhou Yi, however, didn't care at all.

The company's financial situation is currently very good. Mining on Mars is a piece of cake for them.
