Puppet control technology module!

"We've finally obtained this technology." Kurokawa suppressed his joy.

The once-powerful geisha has now completely changed its name to Kurokawa!

The company is facing an increasingly serious shortage of manpower, and puppet technology can perfectly solve this problem, addressing the company's pain point.

Most importantly, the puppet technology module provided by Maiko Dolls is one of the best underlying technologies, with extremely high adaptability.

Currently, the company's technology tree includes three technologies: [Patrol Enhancement Technology], [Regenerating Tentacle Technology], and [Puppet Manipulation Technology].

Puppet technology combined with patrol enhancement can create patrol puppets.

The combination of puppet technology and regenerating tentacles can create infrastructure puppets with maximum work efficiency.

By fully integrating and developing these three technologies, it is even possible to create the strongest combat doll to date!

The development of the technology tree is something to look forward to.

only......

If you want to integrate technologies, it's difficult to solve quickly using only your human brain.

Fortunately, the manual rewarded me with a [Fully Automated Research Table] when I completed the research tasks earlier.

Once the research platform is assembled, the research can begin automatically.

As for the two new combat suits that have been unlocked....

After Kurokawa received the USB drive, he immediately inserted it into the 3D printing device, and the data was uploaded.

He retrieved the basic parameters of the three combat suits.

The main differences between combat suits lie in their [basic attributes] and [platform load].

Performance refers to physical and magical power.

Maneuverability refers to speed and dexterity.

Defense refers to durability and resistance to abnormal statuses, etc.

The "Platform Load" is related to plugin technology. Each plugin has a "Load Consumption". As long as the load limit is not exceeded, you can insert as many plugins as you want.

For example, the F-level [Patrol Acceleration Plug-in] they used in this battle requires 3 load points.

He wasn't planning to change into his combat suit.

Given the same payload capacity, the patrol magic combat suit is a perfect fit for him, both in terms of style and stat allocation.

You should know that in the city, office workers and high school girls are the best "camouflage".

If someone were to walk around in a kimono on the street, they would definitely attract a crowd of onlookers.

Not to mention the terrifying combat suits.

However, we can look forward to the plugins created by the two vengeful spirits.

Using all three plugins simultaneously might bring unexpected and wonderful effects.

I briefly looked at various technologies.

He finally focused his attention on the reputation points that had increased to 34.

This prestige was undoubtedly contributed by Kanzaki and others.

Better than nothing, Kurokawa didn't hoard the prizes and immediately held three draws.

If we could acquire plug-in technology like before, it would allow the company to experience rapid growth.

However, this time my luck wasn't as good as last time...

Congratulations on winning the reward – 100 million yen (51% chance)

Congratulations on winning the reward – 500 million yen (12% chance)

Congratulations on winning the reward - Magic Drone (Blueprint) (8% chance)

A total of 600 million yen, plus a blueprint for a magic drone....

Six million yen may seem like a lot, but in reality, it's just a drop in the ocean when faced with research projects that often require hundreds of millions of yen.

This amount of money is simply not enough to build even high-end equipment.

For example, the 3D printing machine in the workshop costs 12 billion yen, excluding the research and development costs.

Even excluding research and development costs, the material cost of an F-class containment cage alone is 50 yen.

The material costs for Class E or even higher containment cages will only increase exponentially.

This amount of money can't quench thirst, but it can at least soothe the throat a little...

As Kurokawa closed the containment manual and finished summarizing his findings for the evening, Chinatsu hung up the phone and walked back with her shoulders slumped.

Her small face was filled with the worry that "things are in trouble."

"What's wrong?" Kurokawa asked casually.

"It's my younger sister, Xun..."

Chika sighed.

"Before I left this morning, I put the 30,000 yen from last time under the ledger. She just called and asked where the money came from... and also asked if I was... taking on 'dad work' outside..."

Kurokawa chuckled softly upon hearing this, and said sarcastically.

"Although the confidentiality agreement requires you not to disclose specific company information, it should be fine to briefly explain the nature of your work to your sister, such as regular security or testing of special equipment, so as not to worry her."

"Absolutely not!"

Unexpectedly, Chika reacted with unusual intensity.

She shook her head violently, her eyes filled with an unprecedented determination.

"We absolutely cannot involve Kaoru in this! It's best if she knows nothing!"

She had only participated in two missions, but she already understood just how dangerous they were!

What if she said something that piqued her sister's curiosity, or if she were to get involved in a similar situation in the future without thinking...

She'll regret it so much if it even causes her sister to get hurt!

Seeing Chinatsu's appearance, Kurokawa paused slightly.

Sakura's image flashed through his mind without warning.

Before she went on her business trip, she told him that there were no "ghosts" in the world and that he should find a stable job...

Looking back now, I think her thoughts were the same as Chika's at this moment.

Knowing danger lurks nearby, she chooses to use lies to keep those she cares about out of reach, bearing the burden alone...

Kurokawa fell silent.

He didn't say anything more about the matter.

He might understand some feelings better than others.

He steered the conversation back to reality: "If 30,000 yen is enough to make your sister so nervous, then you'll probably have to think carefully about how to explain the reward for this mission."

"Huh?" Chika hadn't fully recovered from her emotions from just now, and was taken aback when she heard this.

Kurokawa took a thin paper bag out of the drawer and handed it to Chinatsu.

"For this mission, the basic attendance allowance is 5000 yen. The overall performance and contribution bonus is 495,000 yen. The total is 500,000 yen. According to the deposit installment agreement signed last time, the first commission is 10%, which will deduct 50,000 yen. Here is 450,000 yen, please click."

Chika froze, staring intently at the paper bag, then looked up at Kurokawa, as if she hadn't understood what he was saying.

She hesitantly reached out, took the paper bag, opened it, and found neatly stacked 10,000 yen bills inside.

She subconsciously squeezed the thickness of the banknotes, then raised her hand and pinched her cheek.

"Ouch...that hurts." She whispered, then her eyes widened suddenly. "President! This...this much?! How could this be..."

"You deserve it," Kurokawa said calmly. "Your performance on this mission exceeded expectations, and the company's profits were quite substantial. This is a bonus distributed based on your contribution."

He silently added in his mind.

The company's biggest gain this time is the core technology of the geisha doll, which will be worth trillions in the future.

Compared to that, this bonus is just a drop in the ocean.

Moreover, Chinatsu's magical adaptability and growth rate are truly exceptional.

Providing sufficient material incentives and recognition to such core combatants with great potential is an essential investment.

"I...I've never had so much money in my entire life..."

Chika held the paper bag, her voice slightly shaky, her face filled with shock and joy, even a little bewildered.

She began to quietly plan how to use the money.

"I can buy Xun that coat she's been eyeing for so many times... She's been saying she wants a house with a bathtub, so I guess we can move now... Oh, and her tutoring fees too..."

After a moment of contemplation, she finally came to her senses from the shock and remembered the important matter at hand.

She carefully put the money away, looked at Kurokawa, and her eyes became serious again.

"President, when is our next mission?"

Kurokawa shook his head, a hint of regret in his voice: "I'm afraid there won't be any new field missions for the next two weeks."

"Huh? Why?" Chika asked, puzzled.

Kurokawa stood up, his gaze sweeping across the empty and messy factory workshop, then glancing at the entrance leading to the unfinished underground training room.

"Our appearance has already attracted the attention of the authorities. Keeping a low profile for half a month is not a bad thing, and the company also needs to be built up, which takes time."

The training room is not yet completed.

The task of building and operating the training room is also waiting for him to complete.

I wonder what new infrastructure technology will be provided after this operational task ends.

In addition, the production of the dolls, the assembly of the research table and the treatment pod, and the technological research and development all require a lot of time.

Most importantly, Sakura is coming back from her business trip soon.

If she saw these things in the factory, he wouldn't know how to explain it. He had to move everything to the basement as soon as possible.

And then there's that special forces captain, Jin Kanzaki.

This future legendary instructor shouldn't be missed either...

There is still so much to do...
