Infinity, progressing from Arasaka

Dangerous Girl, formerly a detective agency, has expanded its business with the backing of Arasaka, now encompassing strategic consulting, legal services, advertising, entertainment, and charity.

They don't have any key industries, their products are highly replaceable, and they are just small companies that rely on giant enterprises and big cities to make a little money.

But its founder is Michiko Arakasaka.

Saburo Arasaka's eldest granddaughter.

The only daughter of Arasaka Kei, the prematurely deceased heir of the Arasaka Group, she was born in the United States to a Japanese-American mother and is more accustomed to Western culture. She is currently a member of the Arasaka Group's board of directors and the leader of the pro-American "dove" faction.

Vera had no interest in discussing her political leanings, and her collaboration with the dangerous girl was a natural outcome.

As a senior executive at Arasaka, she certainly couldn't cooperate with affiliated companies of Junke or Kangtao.

Thanks to Michiko Arasaka's position of power, Dangerous Girls received orders from Arasaka almost without any obstacles. They tried almost every kind of business that was available. Whether they were doing well or not is another matter, but they were indeed small but complete.

The company dog's needs were all taken care of.

The rehabilitation and recuperation business of Dangerous Girl is like this; it can't be described as booming, but it's barely surviving.

It is a pity that it is tasteless.

It wasn't until Vera graduated from Arasaka Tower Academy and started making connections that things changed.

A wild, non-professional genius who bravely shouldered the expectations of his parents without giving up his hobby, and actually managed to create something in his spare time!

popping.

Vera worked incredibly fast. After figuring out the dangerous girl's business needs, she connected it to her progress on repairing the old network. In twenty minutes, she selectively calculated and marked the ideas in her mind, drawing on the Umbrella Group's normal medical product technology that she was "born with" in her mind. Then, she used Arasaka's equipment to build the model architecture.

【Regenerate】

The skin products registered with Umbrella Corporation are a byproduct of T-virus research, which uses a certain technology to revitalize dead cells to make users look younger.

A high-end skincare and wellness product and its aftercare services.

It does indeed have significant effects on making skin healthier, relaxing muscles, healing strain, and making people feel refreshed.

Umbrella's medical expertise is truly exceptional; aside from being expensive, it's fifty years ahead of the world, and this isn't just empty talk.

In the cyberpunk world, even though the lower classes are all equipped with cybernetic bodies, the middle class, and even more powerful people, while installing necessary cybernetic bodies, also desire more of their original body parts, thus creating a need for maintenance.

This is a symbol of wealth; they need this kind of vibe.

Moreover, prosthetic bodies, the higher the quality, the better they fit the human body and the less likely they are to cause rejection. With the addition of other methods for fine-tuning, they can also have certain maintenance effects.

In short, they make money off the rich.

Also, [Adravil]:

Umbrella Corporation's products are based on ibuprofen and are continuously improved to create more effective analgesics.

【Aqua Cure】：

Umbrella's best-selling products are suitable for open wounds, truly life-saving, and made with extremely high-quality craftsmanship. They are available in both civilian and military grades.

The former is Vera's legitimate and legal way of earning extra money by collaborating with the dangerous girl;

The latter is Vera's 'personal research results' submitted to Arasaka.

After the raw material order is placed, the laboratory process will automatically issue the order, which will be delivered by a special plane. After assessing everything at hand, Vera gets up, enters the inner area of ​​her personal laboratory, changes into a special cleanroom suit, undergoes sterilization and disinfection in the ultraviolet channel, and then operates the workbench robotic arm to improve the product through the glass.

drip-

Vera gazed at the 'improved results' gradually taking shape on the workbench after countless precise and specific procedures: raw material inspection, pretreatment, adjustment, refining, drying... and a slight sense of guilt, like that of a robber, arose in her heart.

But it feels so good to have the backing of the achievements of countless researchers around the world.

Umbrella researches and improves products, just as Vera Adelheid Russell of Arasaka does; I research and improve products.

And always leave room for improvement, never upgrading to the latest model.

I don't produce 'results'; I'm just a mover of 'results'.

P.S.: Wishing you a relaxing holiday!

Subtle request, please~~(°ー°〃)

Is Vera a genius in Chapter 008?

As dusk completely enveloped the city and the dazzling neon lights replaced the warm sunlight, Vera, looking quite tired, finally raised her head in her personal laboratory, codenamed 'Umbrella,' rubbed her temples, and stopped writing the programming on her workbench.

In the cyberpunk world, it's already 2074, and almost every electronic device has a hacking interface.

Programmable, connectable, controllable...

Brain-computer interface (BCI), even in technological research, is currently mostly simulated by researchers on fragmented cybernetic networks. It involves generating data on a virtual screen mesh, connecting it to a real-world terminal, using weak AI-assisted computation, then transmitting the generated data, adjusting it, experimenting, and continuously refining it…

[Regenerate (3rd adjustment and 1st improvement experiment)]

[Type: Rehabilitation and recuperation health care products]

[Product Improvement Unit: Umbrella Personal Lab (Arasaka)]

[Note: Based on data collection and feedback from the Dangerous Girls Rehabilitation and Treatment program, the latest model has been adjusted and improved in a timely manner. After preliminary testing, compared with the currently available Regenerate-B4, the C1 experimental model shows an improvement of approximately 6% to 9% in the effectiveness of natural and artificial skin care.]

After half a day of calculations, Vera finally controlled the iteration of the drug's effects to a relatively reasonable level.

With Umbrella, which is based in another world, Vera has also put in considerable effort to acquire knowledge of biotechnology.

It may not be as good as Dr. Marcus or Dr. William Birkin, but it's not bad either. At least it's understandable and can reproduce the virus when the information is complete and it's not necessary to use the T-virus.

Especially after receiving support from the Raccoon City base where William Birkin was stationed, Vera, as a senior executive of the company, accessed the entire set of data. It was simple; what she wanted wasn't top-secret projects like BOW, T, or G, but rather normal medical products circulating in the Umbrella market, the kind that could actually make money by expanding into the Asia-Pacific civilian market.

With the backing of Arasaka, even though Arasaka isn't a giant in biotechnology, its research department is still very wealthy and can obtain raw materials, as long as they're not related to the T-virus. This makes Vera's path to reproduction much easier.

"Let's leave it at that for now..."

The production data of the experimental workbench equipment is fully displayed on Vera's prosthetic eye insert, and she can view this data simply by issuing a command from her cerebral cortex.

6%–9%.

A faint reddish light flickered in Vera's indigo eyes.

enough.

You can't update to the latest model all at once; you have to improve it gradually to show that you haven't given up your 'hobby'.

After sending the accompanying 【Regenerate-C1】 data, along with improved data and element migration chemical models, to Dangerous Girl's business department, Vera stretched comfortably.

The research lab may be small, but it has all the necessary functions.

Here, Vera was able to reproduce the 'Umbrella' biotechnology in a reasonable and explainable way.

Making the most of her identity, the first step was the biotechnology course she took at Arasaka Tower Academy, followed by her interest in the old network and her extremely cautious salvage and repair work after joining the company...

As time went on, Vera's fabricated persona had become largely established, and the gaps that needed to be filled were becoming fewer and fewer.

It is reasonable, yet it carries a hint of genius's unreasonable and forced approach.

drop.

knock off.

After disinfecting and changing out of her rather bulky hazmat suit, Vera stepped out of the inner room, pressed the safety switch, and her identity was verified. The laboratory slowly and in accordance with safety regulations then ceased operation.

After the information was sent out, this matter was temporarily no longer related to Vera.

Further detailed testing and clinical trials were for the dangerous girl; she only wanted money.

As for the Adravil hemostatic agent and the Aqua Cure wound first-aid ointment, no rush. Improving one product in a day is genius, and can be explained by prior preparation. But if you try to improve three in a day, well...

Vera didn't want to be transferred to the biotechnology research department because of her outstanding talent, not even if she were promoted three levels!

...

Over the next few hours, Vera visited the soldiers' barracks on the floors where the security department was located.

After a brief meeting and conversation with his special assault team members, where he announced the bonuses for Team 6 and offered encouragement to the other teams, he was escorted to the firing range for routine practice to maintain his shooting skills.

Vera rapidly and accurately fired several magazines of the most widely circulated weapons on the market, including Arasaka's JKE-X2 Kenshin, HJKE-11 Yukimura, Shinko LX, Shigure, TKI-20 Shingen, HJSH-18 Masamune, Nowaki, the tsunami defense Nekomata, the military technology assault rifle, and Kangtao's smart weapon.

Sparks flew from the target.

Being prepared is always a good idea; there's always a chance it might come in handy.

"Seven seconds faster, sir. If someone were to apply your methods for handling office personnel targets to you during a field mission, I think they would definitely regret it... You're practically a genius. Uh, do you even simulate CQB?"

Vera's confidant, Jimmy, the vice-captain of Team 6, a tall white man standing at 1.95 meters, was fully armed but not wearing a helmet. He stared at the timer and sighed. Because he had been following Vera all along, he could be said to have witnessed Vera's progress over the years.

Although Vera rarely engages in direct combat with the enemy on the front lines, it does not mean that Vera is a weak commander who cannot even kill a chicken.

"If you allow someone to break through to my front, it means you have either been killed in action or you have become complacent."

Instead of responding to her subordinate's compliments, Vera simply glanced sideways at her adjutant.

At that moment, she was holding the Sadara electromagnetic shotgun in one hand.

The slender, fair-skinned fingers, with their hidden prosthetic modifications and barely visible skin lines, contrasted sharply with the heavy, bulky firearm, as if the immense recoil would snap them in two at any moment.

The trigger is pulled.

The built-in intelligent connection coprocessor, hidden under the palm skin, is synchronized with the electromagnetic shotgun, directly inputting the target's coordinates and magnified image into its built-in visual plugin for aiming, automatic compensation for bullet trajectory deviation, and firing.

boom!

With a hissing sound, fifty meters away, the electromagnetically accelerated sharp steel nails exploded on the target, producing huge sparks and even a melting reaction.

After confirming the bullet had been fired, Vera tossed the Sadara electromagnetic shotgun in her hand to her adjutant, Jimmy. "Let's skip today's simulated combat. I stayed a little longer in the bio-research department."

With a graceful turn of her back and a gentle wave of her finger, Vera left the military camp.
