"President, this is the company's latest financial report. As far as the second quarter is concerned, our company's overall profit is on the rise, up 32% year-on-year..."
President Clover sat in his office, leaning his head against his chest and listening silently to Li Yuan talking about the company's financial report. A hint of boredom flashed in his eyes, and he didn't seem to be very interested in it. Finally, he waved his hand and said.
"Okay, no need to talk about it anymore. Just let Li Yuan handle the company's financial affairs. I want to focus all my energy on the new humans."
Li Yuan immediately showed a respectful expression and said, "I understand, President."
"I heard that Sanada Masamune seems to have gotten into a lot of trouble recently?"
When mentioning Sanada Masamune, Li Yuan showed a trace of disgust and said, "Yes, President, Sanada Masamune is very rampant. During this period, he contracted some farms around Tokyo.
Then he used the livestock on the farms as experimental materials and created a large group of monsters with brute force but no reason. We wanted to destroy them, but it seemed that this was exactly what Sanada and his team wanted. They directly released a large number of monsters in the process of destroying them.
These monsters are now lurking in every corner of Tokyo. In order to clean them up, we have spent a lot of manpower and resources. Sanada Masamune also took this opportunity to send some of his new humans to disrupt the situation.
For example, a new human who has fought with us many times recently and caused us a lot of losses. He gave himself the code name of Vicious Venom. He is a wasp monster. Not only does he have extremely strong toxins, but he can also summon a group of small wasp monsters to assist in combat. He is a very difficult opponent..."
When it comes to enumerating the various "crimes" of Sanada Masamune, Kurizono can be said to be eloquent, and he goes on and on, listing one event after another, without stopping at all.
The president did not interrupt Li Yuan's story, but listened silently.
Until Li Yuan realized that he had been talking for too long, he apologized: "I'm sorry, President, I took up your time for too long without realizing it..."
"It's okay, I also need to know more about the outside world..." The president smiled slightly and comforted Li Yuan in a gentle and calm tone.
Then, he touched his chin and asked Li Yuan curiously: "Li Yuan, what do you think of Sanada Masamune's philosophy?"
"Sanada Masamune? Humph, he is a restless lunatic. As long as you, the president, give the order, the three of us will take his head immediately!"
The president shook his head and responded, "No, no, no, I'm not asking you what you think of Sanada Masamune. I'm asking you what you think of Sanada Masamune and his philosophy of the New Human Dynasty."
"That's naturally..."
"Kuriyuan, this time I don't need you to express your loyalty to me. I just need your own true thoughts. As a new human, what do you think of Sanada Masamune's ideas?"
"..."
Facing the president's question, Li Yuan swallowed her saliva, her face became hesitant and nervous, and finally, she said: "President... I want to say... Although Sanada Masamune's approach is indeed a bit too radical in my opinion, it will do us more harm than good...
But I have to say that I do look forward to our new human beings becoming a being superior to humans in the future, so I do agree with Sanada Masamune's philosophy to a certain extent.
However, I do not believe in Masamune Sanada, he is too extreme and crazy, so I believe that it is you, the president, who can lead us new humans into the future!"
The president smiled and said, "That's good. In fact, I've been wondering recently whether my gentle attitude towards humans would make these new humans under my command feel unhappy."
Li Yuan quickly said, "President, you don't have to worry about the minions below. Most of them are test subjects, and their loyalty to the group is questionable. You only need to pay attention to the loyalty of the three heads and cadres."
"Hehe~ Okay, then, let me ask you another question. What do you think of Kamen Rider, Kurizono?"
"Kamen Rider?" Kurizono was slightly stunned, and then his eyes flashed with hostility: "Judging from the motives of his actions, Kamen Rider is a threat to the new humans. However, judging from his current hostility with Sanada Masamune, he may be a partner for us at Clover Company for the time being."
"I thought you, Kuriyuan, always had a completely annihilating attitude towards outsiders like this~ I still remember that you didn't listen to my orders and insisted on letting the senior cadres destroy the Kamen Rider~"
As soon as the president said this, Li Yuan was so frightened that he broke out in a sweat. He immediately bowed and said, "I'm sorry, President! I was possessed by the devil at that time! I didn't follow your instructions..."
"Alright, alright, I'm not interested in your apology~ I want to hear about the latest developments over at Kamen Rider."
Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the president did not intend to investigate her disobedience, but her rapidly beating heart did not calm down. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "President, we don't know much about the black Kamen Rider. He keeps a low profile and has not appeared much recently, but..."
"But what?"
"However, we recently found some rumors on the Internet... It seems that another Kamen Rider has appeared..."
"Another one?" Upon hearing this, the president's eyes suddenly lit up and asked, "Tell me what the situation is?"
"Okay, judging from the current rumors, the relationship between this new Kamen Rider and the pure black Kamen Rider is unclear, and the image is very different. The new Kamen Rider looks more technological...
I once suspected that this newly emerged Kamen Rider might be a technological imitation of the Black Kamen Rider made by some people, but I don't quite believe that anyone has such scientific and technological ability to imitate it.
The identity of this new Kamen Rider is still unknown, but from some unclear candid photos taken at the scene, we found a lot of elements of the Sora Set symbol on him. Therefore, we codenamed him Kamen Rider Sora Set.
"Kong Ji? Hahaha~" Upon hearing this title, the president couldn't help laughing.
Li Yuan was a little surprised why the president laughed, and asked, "Why is the president laughing?"
"Ah~ I just think this code name is really ugly~ I'll come up with a name, from now on it's called... Faiz!"
"Faiz?" Hearing this title, Li Yuan showed a trace of doubt. She didn't understand why her president would choose such a name that sounded very subtle, but out of respect for the president, she nodded and said, "Okay, I will go down and order my subordinates to change it."
"Haha, good~ You can go down to Liyuan now."
"Okay, President." Li Yuan packed up the documents, but before leaving Qian, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, President, with the departure of Sanada Masamune, the laboratory is currently without a leader, and some factional struggles have occurred.
Although we have appointed a new Chief Scientific Officer, he is not able to convince the public, so the situation in the Science Department is quite chaotic now. President, how should we deal with this?"
"Ah... this... it's indeed a bit troublesome if no one is convinced. Then we just need to find someone who can be convinced to be the chief."
"..." Li Yuan's expression twitched slightly. Haha, it's as if he didn't say anything.
"President, we are now looking for a Chief Scientific Officer who can convince everyone, but... it is really hard to find someone with the qualifications of Sanada Masamune..."
"Hehehe~ Who said there isn't one? Isn't that Kaoru Kiba~"
"President, please stop joking. There are many conflicts between us and Kiba Kaoru. It is simply a pipe dream to ask her to come back as the chief."
"Ah~ Why haven't you reacted yet? Don't forget that there are two more researchers who survived the first radiation exposure with Kaoru Kiba. Although one of them died, the other is still alive. Find him back."
After being completely pointed out by the president, Li Yuan suddenly realized what was going on and quickly said, "Ah! Thank you for the order! I'll find someone to arrange it right away!"
Then Li Yuan respectfully took the documents and left, leaving the president sitting alone in the office thinking.
For a moment, the whole office fell into a silence as if frozen. It was unknown how long this silence lasted before the president slowly stood up and walked to the bookshelf next to him.
He moved the flowerpot next to the bookshelf slightly, and then with a crisp sound, a gap suddenly opened on the bookshelf in front of him. The gap expanded and expanded, and finally a mechanical door that could pass people opened, revealing the secret room behind it.
The president walked quickly into the mechanical door, and the flower pot beside him gradually moved back. After the mechanical door opened, it quickly closed again. The whole office fell into that frozen silence again, but this time, there was no one in the office.
On the other side, the president who walked into the secret room finally stopped in front of a giant device connected by countless pipes. In the center of the device was a semicircular transparent red sphere.
This red transparent sphere was still flashing with red-gold light, and the pipes connected to the device were trembling slightly. Through some transparent windows, one could see that the liquid flowing inside was a golden liquid with an inexplicable charm.
If Kaoru Kiba and others were to come again, they would definitely exclaim at the photon fluid, and the amount of photon fluid in this secret room was even more astonishing.
Of course, these massive amounts of photon fluids were not what the president was most interested in. What he really cared about was always the contents inside the semicircular red sphere...
He walked slowly forward to the device, and through the red shell, he looked at the things inside with fascination...
I saw a golden cell phone quietly placed in the gathering place of countless streams of light...
"Faiz has appeared... Everything is on track, Orga... I don't know if there will ever be a day when I can use you. The promise of Dai Shocker will be fulfilled soon..."
Chapter 195: This coffee is not for Earthlings to drink!
Early in the morning, Shinichi began to pack up his clothes, bedding and other household items that he had left at the shrine. Ryoko also got up early and came to the courtyard, looking at Shinichi who was about to pack up and leave and asked.
"Are you leaving? Kiba told me yesterday that she was going to take you back to the cafe."
Zhen nodded and said, "Yes. Didn't you say that? You don't need to continue watching the following practices. I can just rely on my personal experience accumulation. In this case, I will let you have some free time~"
"Ah... that's what I said." Ryoko pouted, smoothed her hair, and then her eyes changed and she shouted sternly: "You said you would cook for me every day. But what's the result? How many times have you cooked since you came here? I feel like I lost money on this transaction."
"Ah...haha." Hearing this, Zheng Yi smiled awkwardly, spread his hands and apologized: "Well...ok, this is indeed my fault. How about this, I can treat you to a few meals when I have time? It's my treat."
"You said it, don't break your promise like you did last time."
"Don't worry, it won't happen this time." Shinichi said with a serious expression.
Ryoko nodded slightly and looked at Shinichi who was packing his luggage. She wanted to talk about something else, but she suddenly found that she and Shinichi didn't seem to have that many common topics.
She just watched as Shinichi packed his things and prepared to leave the shrine.
Until finally, she scratched her head and shouted, "Hey, glare at me."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Ha... nothing... I just want to tell you that you are the best apprentice I have ever had. You are indeed gifted."
Hearing this, Shinichi smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliment. Of course, it's also because of my teacher's good teaching~"
After hearing this, Ryoko's mouth curled up, as if she had thought of something, and said, "You're so nice...ah, wait a minute, I'll get you something."
Having said that, Ryoko turned around and returned to the shrine. She lifted a piece of wooden floor from the bottom of the altar and took out a bag from it.
The bag was not big, it was actually a brocade bag, the outer packaging was relatively simple, and it was covered with dust because it had been there for so long. After Ryoko took it out, she dusted it off, walked over to Shinichi, handed the brocade bag to him and said, "This is my farewell gift to you."
"what is this?"
"Didn't I say this before? We, the Sound Attack Warriors, smashed all the ghost weapons used for transformation a hundred years ago."
"Yes. I remember." Zhen nodded, then looked at the bag, raised his eyebrows, and a guess came to his mind: "So what's in this bag, could it be the ghost weapon that was broken at that time?"
Ryoko showed a nostalgic expression: "Yes, this is filled with the fragments collected after the ghost weapon was broken into pieces. Well, although it is useless, it is quite commemorative. I will give it to you. I also think you should be able to keep it well."
Shinichi didn't expect Ryoko to give this thing to him. He was a little surprised, but he didn't refuse. After putting the sachet away, he said, "Thank you very much for trusting me, teacher."
Ryoko nodded, patted Shinichi on the shoulder, and said, "Well...you can come back to the shrine when you have time. It's actually quite boring for me to be alone in there."
"Don't worry, I can call you often or something."
"It's boring to make phone calls. I feel more lively when I see people in person."
"Ha... Since it's Miss Ryoko's request, I'd better obey your order~"
After the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, Shinichi finally carried all his luggage, put away the brocade bag containing the ghost weapon fragments, and left the shrine.
As Shinichi left, the entire shrine fell silent. Ryoko sighed as she watched the surroundings return to the old, quiet, unpopular shrine that it once was.
"Ah, there's one less person to talk to. I think I may need more time to get used to it. Tokyo TV should start airing cartoons. Let's go back and watch some."
Ryoko muttered to herself and returned to the shrine, closing the door. The last bit of human life in the courtyard was gone, leaving only the birds perched on the beams, chirping from time to time.
Shinichi Takahashi rode his motorcycle all the way back to the coffee shop. When he walked in, he found that only Lidou was left in the coffee shop. She was now immersed in writing code on the computer.
Lidou noticed someone behind her, but she seemed to think that the person behind her was Kiba who was going home, so she said to Shinichi without turning her head: "Boss, make me a cup of coffee. I want a type I have never had before."
Zhengyi raised his eyebrows, and after realizing that he was misidentified, he did not open his mouth to correct it, but silently tilted his chin and mouth, and a clever idea appeared in his mind.
He came behind the bar and picked out a can of coffee beans from the shelf. He didn't know which of the beans in these cans were the ones that Lidou had drunk and which were the ones that Lidou had not drunk, but it didn't matter.
Since Lidou wants him to make her a cup of coffee, Shinichi can only try to make her first cup of hand-ground coffee with reluctance. This is his first time, and I'm sure Lidou will be moved to tears after drinking it.
Hmm... He remembered that there seemed to be these steps to making coffee...
Shinichi had never made coffee before, but it was just like braiding hair. Although he had never eaten pork, he had definitely seen pigs run. After watching others do it many times, he could more or less figure out some of the process and rules.
First, choose some coffee beans and then roast them. I really don’t know what stage of roasting is appropriate. But it doesn’t matter. Anyway, if the first roasting is not burnt, it is considered a success.
As for the quantity...
Shinichi grabbed a handful of coffee beans and poured them into a small bowl. After roasting them over fire for a while, he smelled the aroma of coffee and immediately poured it into a grinder specially used to grind coffee beans.
Turn on the switch and grind all the roasted coffee beans into fine particles. Hmm... it doesn't seem that difficult at the moment.
After grinding the coffee beans, Shinichi poured all the ground coffee beans into the extraction pot. Then he added enough water, closed the lid, and put it on the fire to roast. The process should be like this. Although there may be some differences in details, the finished product should not be a problem~
After the coffee extraction pot is heated at high temperature, the coffee powder and water in the lower body will be extracted under high pressure, and then sprayed into the mouth of the upper body through a pipe. The sprayed strong black coffee is covered with bright yellow oil foam.
The foamy strong black coffee at the mouth of the pot is what we usually call espresso. It is used as the base for latte and mocha, but it can also be drunk directly.
But I'm not sure about the remaining steps, so it's enough to just do this.
Shinichi didn't have a full understanding of these coffee knowledge, or rather, he just copied the espresso process like a tiger cat drawing a tiger.
As for whether there were any problems with the process or any techniques to improve the flavor, he had no idea at all.
Relying on this copycat method, Shinichi actually managed to make a cup of coffee that looked perfect. When asked, the aroma of the coffee was also quite normal.
It seems... not bad.
Ha! As expected, I am a genius!
Shinichi was very satisfied with his finished product, and then he handed the cup of espresso to Lito.
Even though Shinichi had been fiddling around at the front desk for quite a while, Lidou was still concentrating on the computer, not knowing who was coming back or who was making coffee for her.
Shinichi took advantage of this short period of time to look at the program that Lito was writing at the moment. Looking at the densely packed operators on the computer, he recalled the bad memories of the programming class in college.
Well, I don't understand it at all. I just feel a headache. Is this the difference between a genius and an ordinary person?
Lidou didn't doubt him, he took the coffee that Shinichi put on the table, and then drank it in one gulp. Then the extremely concentrated bitterness was like a rough big guy, madly abusing his taste buds, qj!
Lidou finally realized that something was wrong with the cup of coffee in her hand. Then, she suddenly spit out all the coffee in her mouth. She stared at the cup with a horrified expression, the coffee was dark and had a strange smell.
"Boss! Are you trying to kill me with this coffee?" Lito turned her head and looked at Shinichi angrily.
And when Lito found that the person standing in front of her was not Kiba, but Shinichi, she immediately understood who had the strange cup of coffee in her hand!
