In this cyberpunk era, why are you still playing the traditional villain?

After all, this means that Shen He's death is a joke. If Xu Shi were really willing to let her go, at least his life would be worth it. But Xu Shi didn't, which means that even at the last moment of his life, he was still being played by Xu Shi.

Moreover, she no longer felt she had a chance to get revenge, which made her break down.

"I...I'm going to kill you...kill you..."

Shen Qin knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face, her voice hoarse, and her eyes unfocused.

"Master."

Just then, Su Lin, who had gone to find something, returned.

"Did you get the stuff?"

Xu Shi ignored Shen Qin and turned to ask her.

"Ah."

Su Lin nodded and handed him a small, antique-style USB drive. "I took a quick look, and it's pretty much what she said."

"That's good."

Xu Shi fiddled with the USB drive and listened to Su Lin's description, and he had a better understanding of the situation.

As Shen Qin said, this technology is indeed not mature, and even he, a layman, could sense this from Su Lin's explanation.

But this doesn't mean it's worthless. On the contrary, it's incredibly valuable, even if it's just a prototype. Didn't that towering building start from the ground up?

"Oh, so some people get good stuff and don't even bother to look at it?"

Jiang Chengcheng also peeked out from behind Su Lin and complained jealously.

"How can that be possible?"

Xu Shi raised his hands in surrender, saying, "It was clearly me who asked Su Lin to call you here too. It's not good to wrong someone."

"Fine, I forgive you."

Jiang Chengcheng couldn't really hold a grudge against him, so she said seriously, "So you want me to do some research? When I came, Alin showed it to me, and it's not quite what I thought... Although I'm not good at this, I can still help you a little."

"That's not necessary."

Xu Shi waved his hand, "Leave professional matters to the professionals. I'll go to 'Prism' in a couple of days and have a good talk with Xie Qingyan."

This was something he had planned for a long time, but he couldn't relax too much—even if the six conglomerates had become four, and the woman was behaving like a docile mule, it didn't mean she would stay quiet.

"Ok."

Jiang Chengcheng pouted, but also expressed her understanding, "Then why did you call me here?"

"Let's clean up this place. Preserve Shen He's body and extract some genetic samples for later use."

Xu Shi laughed and said, "Including Miss Shen Qin, others can't do these things."

It has to be said that it wasn't entirely true that Shen He's value had been completely squeezed dry. He's still useful even after he's dead.

In any case, these are the only two things he can think of right now—Shen Qin's self-healing ability can be used on Xia Ke'an, and as for Shen He... he plans to try it himself.

After all, he can only manipulate other people's negative emotions. If he can add "unity is strength" to his abilities, it will make up for the shortcomings of his abilities. One plus one is greater than two.

"Her?"

Jiang Chengcheng pointed at Shen Qin, who looked dazed, and said, "I feel like you've already ruined her. That's so mean."

It sounded like an accusation, but her tone didn't carry that implication at all... She already knew about Shen Qin's situation; she was Xu Shi's enemy.

Of course, she wouldn't feel any sympathy for that; at most, she'd sigh and make a few jokes.

Not to mention her, even Xia Wuyou wouldn't know how.

"Don't worry, she's not that fragile, and this doesn't conflict with extracting genetic samples, right?"

Xu Shi was not worried about this.

"But you've reminded me that her instability isn't a good thing."

"so?"

"So I might have to ask Chengcheng to do some modifications for her."

"Oh~~"

Jiang Chengcheng smiled knowingly, unconsciously drawing out the last syllable.

Even if she were a mechanic, she couldn't help but think of such words in a dirty way, let alone the fact that it was Xu Shi who said them.

"So, how does Chairman Xu want me to reform her?"

"Um……"

Xu Shi thought for a moment and replied, "Let's follow the standards for sex partners? Set safe words, add blocking mechanisms, oh dear, should we adjust the sensitivity..."

He was somewhat troubled by this.

But the core direction will not change.

Perhaps winning Miss Shen Qin's heart will not be easy.

But she is the kind of person I want her to obey absolutely.

Happy Children's Day! May all children and adults be happy!

My neck hurts so much, I think I need to buy a posture corrector (just kidding).

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 179 A Three-Pronged Approach to Thoroughly Corrode the Enemy!

Just as Xu Shi said, Shen Qin has a very strong will.

Even the strongest person might not be able to withstand this situation... Their only relative just died before their eyes, and before the body was even cold, the murderer had already brazenly begun to plan how to deal with them.

Is this the same cooking method—modifying based on the degree of sexuality? What would she become then? Anyway, she didn't have the courage to think about it too deeply.

That's fine, anyway, Xu Shi is a devil rotten to the core... but why are the girls around her all so eager to join in? Can't any of you four even be considered human?

Jiang Chengcheng was very enthusiastic, and even a little excited when she heard Xu Shi say that.

"Absolute obedience...that's not easy."

She thought about it seriously for a moment, and then brainstormed for Xu Shi, "Anyway, what you said is definitely not enough. If you want her to reach that level, you may need to increase the dosage."

"for example?"

Xu Shi humbly asked for advice, "You're an expert, you've got some garlic."

"For example, you could try personality erasure? This is a relatively mainstream method used by major combat teams at present."

Jiang Chengcheng narrowed her eyes, "Mechanizing the brain, turning it into a simple war machine or something..."

"This won't work."

Xu Shi immediately refused, saying, "It's just too boring."

Wouldn't that turn Lin Xing into a completely unresponsive puppet? Just fiddling with it makes it move...

"Then... how about switching to physical methods?"

Jiang Chengcheng expressed her understanding, saying that such methods were indeed a bit low-level for Chairman Xu's personality. "For example, if you were to increase the sensitivity a thousandfold or spread it to the whole body, and then you would... Of course, that would definitely be a bit more tiring for you, since you would have to do it yourself."

"That's not good either."

Xu Shi still shook his head. "Poisoning is something that happens in that show. Going against it is immoral."

"So what are you going to do next?"

Jiang Chengcheng crossed her arms. "If it really doesn't work, you can think of something slowly. Customizing a special plan is fine too, but... I want a reward."

"Alright, alright, it seems like this is the only way."

Xu Shi pondered for a moment and said that after all, Shen Qin's situation was special, and it was not wrong to give it more consideration.

It's impossible to expect her to reconcile with herself, but we can't destroy her integrity—after all, she's the first successful case of a superpower transplant. This contradictory issue would be difficult for anyone.

If all else fails, let's go back to that anime and slowly look for one. There's bound to be one that suits her... Mr. Xu, who had a flexible moral bottom line, wavered a little, but he was more surprised by Jiang Chengcheng's ease in doing this.

You've seen countless films in your past life, so what, how can you just spout off like that? You weren't actually involved in sex doll modification, were you?

The truth is, it's practically nonexistent—sexual doll modification is just a branch of human body modification, and the difference between it and combat-level modification is only in degree. Essentially, both are relatively immoral areas. I've heard that some professors in universities do indeed have their students use relatively simple sexual doll modification as practical projects...

Add to that her endless stream of little tricks, and who knows how much lewd nonsense is going on in this girl's head.

It doesn't matter how many there are, what matters is that Shen Qin became more and more desperate as she listened.

No matter how she was modified, she was unwilling to accept it, especially since it sounded like she was to serve Xu Shi? No way!

Rather than let him succeed, it's better to end it yourself!

Thinking this, she didn't hesitate at all, stumbled to her feet, and crashed into the wall to the side.

Xia Wuyou reacted quickly, flashing behind her and delivering a clean and swift chop.

She wasn't as skilled at using sedatives as Su Lin, but this method was just as effective.

Poor Miss Shen Qin let out a muffled groan and fainted.

"...Let's tie him up first, and then I'll leave him to you, Chengcheng?"

Xu Shi clicked his tongue and said, "Anyway, she can't die. If she does, I'll punish you."

"Oh~ So how are you going to punish me?"

Jiang Chengcheng replied jokingly.

"Go away, get serious. I'm not talking about that kind of punishment."

Xu Shi gave her a light tap on the head, and Jiang Chengcheng, looking aggrieved, dragged Su Lin away crying.

"Let's go, let's go back first."

Soon after, someone came to clean up the remaining mess, and Xu stretched and prepared to leave.

"Well, I..."

Xia Wuyou tugged at her sleeve from behind, stammering as if he had something to say.
