i'm not a cyberpsychopath

Chapter 17 The First Meeting

After going back and taking a shower, almost rubbing off a layer of skin, and changing into underwear, Li Pan checked his physical fitness with the Xingtian scan.

Tier [-] life form.

What kind of standard is this? To put it simply, Li Pan can now join the army with biochemical warriors, such as the Marsmarine Mars Marine Corps, or go to the underground arena, and fight with those gangster prosthetics to make quick money. .

These days, everything is evaluated by the level of science and technology. Patients, disabled people, and those who need the assistance of equipment to move freely belong to the first grade.

And spend some money on physical strengthening, with the help of professional drugs and long-term training, you can reach the peak of human beings. The third-level life body index is basically a professional athlete. You can enlist in the army and undertake general-intensity combat tasks.

The fourth-level creatures are enhanced creatures that can only be achieved after certain surgeries and biochemical transformations.In fact, this level is generally used to register wild animals, alien pests and various synthetic beasts.Human beings who can usually be called fourth-level life forms are special forces with special numbers, specially-approved armed police like three-headed dogs, special agents from the Security Bureau, and elites from the company's security department.

Like the vortex gang cyber lunatics Li Pan met, Gao Tianyuan ninjas, and even Nightcrawler K, can be regarded as fourth-level life forms.

After that, of course, based on the technological prosthetic weapon used by the individual, it can be further divided into five levels and six levels, but to be honest, it is not necessary.

Because 'human beings' have limits.

Taking "human beings" as the standard, the difference in physical signs has reached four levels, which already belongs to the category of "superhuman". Afterwards, those enhanced bodies, just their existence, are already within the definition of the public security system. The deviation value seriously exceeds the standard, which is a safety hazard.

It can only be registered as a biological weapon or combat prosthetic body, which needs to be approved and reported throughout. According to the Public Security Law, it is not allowed to use Level [-] or stronger biological weapons on Earth without reason.

It is absolutely absolutely absolutely not allowed to allow such 'creatures', such 'inhumans', to evolve individual self-awareness, and even link into the QVN security network to share citizenship.

In other words, level [-] creatures, this is a watershed, this is not a realm that normal humans can achieve through so-called 'self-effort', there is a so-called 'gene lock', an invisible ceiling.

But just now the ceiling was broken by Li Pan.

Just sitting there, breathing breath, dreaming, sweating.He's been promoted to fourth grade.

And it's only just beginning.

Because according to the standard of the "Nine Yin Manual" in Li Pan's hand, he has only completed the first round of "Nine Yin Refining Shape" for beginners.Just completed the first transformation.

Yes, Li Pan would like to call it 'transformation'.

"Nine Yins Refining Shape" has a total of nine turns. In game terms, all attributes can be improved without refining one turn.And in fact, it is not just the literal nine revolutions, because 'nine' is an extreme number, and you can practice until you reach nine revolutions, and you can continue to practice, higher, bigger and stronger.

In this way, at the end of the practice, he will become the original appearance that Li Pan saw in his dream.

The god of Zhongshan, Zhulong Jiuyin.

Yes, he is Candle Dragon, and Candle Dragon is him.

More or less, Li Pan has 'woke up'.

Although he still can't fully understand the reason and truth, Li Pan knows that whether it is a traveler from the earth in the countryside, a social animal from 0791, or the God of Zhongshan sleeping in a distant mountain, they are all essentially the same.

All "Li Pan" are the same existence, in different latitudes, different planes, parallel universes, projections of the heavens and the earth.

Yes, he's a 'monster' by the company's definition.

It’s just that there are some discrepancies. For some reason, he seems to be not a thing, but a person, and it seems that he can also use the silver key to travel through the limitations of time and space, and interact with the reflections of himself in the sky, just like interacting with the mirror in the middle of the night. It's like guessing my own fist...

Of course, there is no need to worry too much about being forcibly taken in by Monster Corporation, or forcefully expelled.

After all, I also want to know that this "Nine Yins Refining Shape" can't be done in a year or two to reach the full level, let alone turn nine and keep turning...

And this "Nine Yins Refining Shape Chapter" is only the first outline of the opening chapter!

There are four more volumes at the end of the entire "Nine Yin Scriptures"!
For each volume, you need to practice "Nine Yin Forms" to a certain number of levels, and you can only practice when you have enough skill!
So to put it bluntly, this "Nine Yin Scriptures" is a heavenly book for cultivating immortals through the eight classics! !
But now comes the problem, this 0791 Earth is not a world of immortal cultivation rules, but a cyber-tech universe!

Did I make a mistake in cultivating immortals in the cyber world!

To get the key by accident, to obtain the scriptures by accident, to encounter a zombie by accident, to refine his shape by accident, it is already very good that so many coincidences can be established, how can it be possible? It's not something he needs to think about now that he has achieved great success.

But seriously...

"Has my father become more handsome?"

Li Pan took a look in the mirror. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he really felt that after exercising and shedding his skin, his skin was better than before, as if it had a faint metallic luster.

However, the change is indeed not obvious, and the body data before and after the comparison without the system chip cannot be seen at all.

And at present it seems that it is only physical fitness enhancement. Li Pan tried it, and it seems that he does not have any other superpowers, and he probably cannot fly.What's more, he is not used to jumping directly from the windowsill, so he should take the elevator.

I met Cheng Zi again at the elevator door, she was still sleepy, and she looked extremely tired, she was going to work again after only squinting in the middle of the night, how miserable...

"Morning, sister Chengzi, thank you very much."

The breakthrough this time may be thanks to the other party stimulating Li Pan's potential...

"Oh, Li, good morning, thank me? What's the matter?"

It seemed that she was in a daze and really couldn't remember what happened last night.

"Oh, the psychiatrist you gave me has helped me a lot."

"Oh, yes, congratulations on finding a job. This outfit suits you very well. It looks very energetic."

Li Pan opened the elevator door casually and went in with Chengzi.

"By the way, last time you worked overtime, you wouldn't have been working until now, right? Don't you want to rest for two days?"

Chengzi smiled wryly, "Yamato is about to take the entrance exam, and the school has to update the firmware and buy a new software upgrade package. Recently, I can only bear with it."

Li Pan smiled and said, "Sister Chengzi, you have helped me a lot. Tell me if you need anything. I have a company guarantee for my employment, and the loan is interest-free."

"Well, I appreciate your kindness. The tuition fee has basically been settled, and I'm fine."

Li Pan smiled and nodded without much persuasion. It can be seen that Chengzi is a kind-hearted person like him, and he will not be willing to surrender like the world.And she still has someone to protect, but she is much stronger than it looks.Don't worry about her, just help out when you have the chance.

Today is also a big day for Li Pan, online board of directors.But compared to a few days ago, now Li Pan has more confidence.

Damn, fuck me, the big deal is to quit!

Anyway, this month's loan is not a problem, and there is still a fourth-level superhuman body, can't you find a job?At worst, just become a mercenary.I just heard that a group of people appeared in the capital of the night recently, known as cyberpunk, and the momentum is very violent, maybe they can make a deal...

So Li Pan hummed a little tune and walked to the conference hall, ready to give a report to the big bosses of the board of directors.

There is a round table in the middle of the conference room, and the lights come down from the top. There are twelve tables in total, but the layout is similar to that of the living room below.

At least in face, are the board of directors and the general manager equal?

When it was time, Li Pan followed the meeting rules.

Turn off the lights.

In an instant, the meeting room seemed to be thrown into an empty corridor, and the wall door disappeared, leaving only the round table in the middle.

Then snap, snap, snap, the lights came on one by one.

Unclear faces appeared on the seats, but they were all vaguely projected company officials in formal attire, and the name tags on their chests were exposed.

'0674 General Manager'

'0213 General Manager'

……

'081 General Manager'

'01 General Manager'

There are 11 people in total, these are monster companies, are you the general manager of the branch company...

Didn't they say that the board of directors is from Earth 0...

'01' the general manager spoke,

"0791 Subsidiary, first manager meeting.

According to the company's regulations, report to the manager, and those who can participate in the meeting, eleven managers will be present in sequence.

The meeting may now be officially opened. "

Then the 11 people bowed their heads to sign together, and Li Pan saw a piece of paper appearing on the round table in front of him.

0791 branch, No.14 manager (agent), memorandum of the first report meeting, Balabala, signed by the participants.

So he also signed his name.

In the next moment, a light came down from the center of the round table, and an ultra-old-fashioned semiconductor radio appeared on the table.

To be honest, if he hadn't been a country bumpkin traveler, he would never have recognized this antique thing.

The general manager of 01 acquiesced that the newcomer had never seen the world, and explained,
"This is an old-fashioned signal receiving device, and the Earth-0 board can now hear your statement.

0791, please begin. "

...Okay then, let's get started.

So Li Pan read the daily newspapers written in the past few days.

……

How about that, 2500 yuan a month!love to play!Don't play!

But unexpectedly, the board of directors and the general manager did not seem to have any "comments and suggestions" on this unpretentious report.

01 The general manager is indifferent,
"0791, according to the order of managers, I will ask you a question first."

Are you here, fired?
"Employee number 0791002, please describe your personal evaluation of him."

What's your opinion on Ah Qi?

Li Pan thought for a while and read the report again.
"Safe, blue, contained."

At this time, the general manager of 0674 added,
"0791, Personal evaluation, unwritten report.

We want to hear your intuition, do you think, can you trust 0791002? "

Li Pan noticed that the other 11 people were staring at him, and the semiconductor radio was not letting go, so he shrugged,

"It can be trusted."

0674 The general manager seemed to laugh,
"Really? He can't be regarded as a standard person, can he? Doesn't he have any abnormal behavior?"

I can't be considered a human being in the strict sense, okay?

So Li Pan pretended to think about it,

"Oh, so speaking of it, 0791002 likes to watch people drink coffee. It's probably a hobby during his lifetime."

0674 General Manager,
"……coffee?"

"Well, whether it's the interest in coffee or the obsession with becoming a regular, these are not the original concept of the guardian, so to a certain extent, it is just guarding the last wish of the former contractor.

How many real people would care about the last wishes of the deceased?No matter what, this is his fetter in the world.

Whether it’s a monster or a human being, if you have coffee to drink, work to do, and home to return to, you won’t be reduced to the point of getting out of control. "

081 The general manager interrupted Li Pan,
"It's an apostle, 0791, do you understand the meaning of an apostle?"

Li Pan,

"Understood. After the contract is completed, the subject of the death contract will fully awaken and descend."

081 The general manager continued to ask,

"Do you know the 0791 subsidiary, the monster number 007, a mess/death fetter, and the possible consequences after awakening."

Li Pan,

"understand."

081 General Manager,
"Describe consequences."

Li Pan,

"In 0791, a biochemical crisis of level 14 or higher occurred, and No. [-] species became extinct."

081 General Manager,
"Do you know that you still want to take this kind of risk!"

Li Pan stared at him,
"I ride a horse, I don't care."

So the managers fell silent for a while.

After a while, the manager of 0674 coughed twice,
"0791, the original intention of the manager's meeting is to help each other. Given the nature of the company's operations, we all need help sometimes, especially when you are a newcomer, there are very few means available. So asking for help is not Shame, if you ask, I can go on a business trip and help you deal with the trouble, what do you think?"

Li Pan smiled, can he be subdued at this time?You have to stick to it even if you are stubborn!
"It's not worth it. Don't you just want to guarantee it? Okay, I'll take the responsibility. As long as I'm still the general manager, if 002 gets out of control, I'll dig out my eyeballs and fix it. Are you happy?"

The transistor radio beeped twice.

01 The general manager spoke,
"The board approves your judgment."

Li Pan,

"...Then thank you for your support?"

01 The general manager spoke,
"Do you have any other questions."

It seems that other people have no problem... Nonsense, in fact, this is the only problem that can be discussed!

But Li Pan immediately seized the opportunity to speak,
"I'm asking for a promotion and a raise!"

01 General Manager,
"The manager's salary requirement, please submit it to the Human Resources Department of the head office by yourself, it is not within the scope of the report meeting.

Above, signed, the meeting adjourned. "

So everyone signed for a while, and then turned off the lights.

Soon, the arc light strip of the round table conference room was lit up again, and returned to the conference room, and besides Li Pan, there was no one around the table.

……That's it?This is the end?
It seems that the general manager of Zhutian is quite busy.

Li Pan returned to the office area, today's meeting minutes have been sent by fax.

MR007 is holding a sign,
'Thank you manager for your trust, I will not let you down! '

Li Pan patted it on the shoulder,

"One cup of coffee will be enough for me in the future. My nerves are quite sensitive, and I won't be able to sleep at night after two cups."

At this time, the fax machine suddenly went berserk, humming, humming, spit out a lot of paper.

"Here, what's the situation..."

Li Pan picked it up and saw that there were probably four types.

The first category is sent by the company's business department, 'monster containment tasks'.

Mainly the detection of various new 'suspected targets' and 'suspicious events', time, place, character, combat power assessment and analysis. .

The second category is sent by the company's finance department, 'monster procurement budget'.

In fact, it is also containment, but the difference from the first category is that these monsters already have their own masters.Moreover, most of the 'monsters' are competitive forces at the company level, and given the characteristics of the monsters themselves, these forces may have taken precautions, and they probably won't hand them over easily.

Therefore, the finance department has specially provided operational budgets for these monsters. As for whether it is 'negotiation', 'purchasing', 'theft' or 'robbery', the company has no control, the company only needs 'monsters'.

Moreover, this type of 'budget' is actually closer to a 'reward'. Every time a task fails, the 'reward' or 'budget' will increase, and the evaluation will naturally be higher after completion.

The third category is sent by the logistics department of the company, 'monster escort entrustment'.

In addition to normal transaction shipping, other companies will also issue warehouse rental commissions.For example, transfer high-risk monsters from the original plane to other companies for containment.

After all, even if it is the same monster, the rules, power, and difficulty of containment will change in different planes.Containing and storing monsters in the most efficient way is also part of cost considerations.

The fourth category is proposed by the company's technology department, 'monster development assistance'.

This is also the most problematic part, which is to transport the monsters under research to different planes in different universes for research, to explore their attributes, and to develop and utilize functions.

This kind of active death behavior is also the most likely to lose control of containment.

Li Pan looked at the piles of tasks and was speechless.
"No, what are you doing! Why are there so many of them all of a sudden! Damn! I think this fax machine must be out of control! Ah Qi! Drag it down and contain it!"

MR007 hurriedly grabbed Li Pan who picked up the bench and tried to beat the fax machine, and wrote in the notebook,
'You have passed the assessment and have the qualities that the company values. The board of directors is very satisfied with you, so it entrusts you with important tasks. '

"Quality? Covering up subordinates or daring to take the blame?"

'The quality most valued by the company is a cold and ruthless heart.

Only those who can not care about the consequences and the destruction of their homes can be qualified as company managers.

In fact, most of the former managers of 0791 did not have this quality, otherwise they would not have changed repeatedly. '

Oh, that's because he doesn't regard this hanging world as his 'home'...
