i'm not a cyberpsychopath

Chapter 5
"Hey, you, stay tight, stop."

Because of the monster company's mess, Li Pan walked out of the park with a lot of worries, but was stopped before he reached the subway station.Hearing the call from behind, he subconsciously wanted to draw his gun, but when he looked up and saw the other party's blue and black uniform, he stopped urgently, and said with a smile on his face,

"Officer, what's the matter?"

NCPA Night Metropolitan Police Department.

Two police officers in uniform walked up to Li Pan, one pointed a smart submachine gun at him, the other held a police terminal, followed by a law enforcement drone, and the flashing red and blue lasers shone on Li Pan's face.

"Name, place of residence, why not connect to the Internet."

"Ah? Why don't you connect to the Internet..."

Li Pan was baffled, and suddenly realized that the security system couldn't jump out, and that's all, walking on the road, he couldn't even see the virtual advertisement projection on the street!He touched his neck subconsciously and broke out in a cold sweat.

The neck is bare, and the brain socket has disappeared!

Not only did the filing cabinet restore his physical body and repair his left arm, but even the brain implant was reset and eliminated!There has been no Internet in the company, and he didn't notice that he was disconnected from the security network when he came out!
joke!It can also be done! ?And it took his brain chip away in an instant! ?

Only then did Li Pan recover from the shock of Monster Inc., realizing how unbelievable it would be for him to change the file cabinet instantly, broke out in a cold sweat,
Ma De, you see that the prosthetic doctor in the slums performed an operation like killing a pig, and the company actually reset his whole body prosthetic body silently?Is this the latest in nanotechnology?Or clone technology?Is this the power of monsters, or the power of corporations...

"Are you on drugs? Why don't you talk? Give him a mood test and look at the camera."

The opposite party had already put his hand on the holster, and the police drone flew over to his face, so Li Pan had no choice but to look at the camera.

"Li Pan, citizen, employee of TheM Company. My chip is damaged."

Although the chip reset disappeared, it is very common for the chip to be damaged and replaced. Since TheM company pays social security wages, it will definitely not be so generous to reset Li Pan's citizenship and his 25 debts. .

The drone also scanned Li Pan's identity data and sent the mental appraisal to the police terminal.

"Fack, so blue!"

The policeman was taken aback by the mental report, and seeing that he was a tax-paying citizen and company employee with good reputation, and he hadn't found any crimes and offered rewards, he naturally didn't care too much about it.

"Okay, let the legal citizens connect to the Internet as soon as possible, let's go."

"Thank you officer."

Li Pan rubbed his neck, Ma De, his debts are already high enough, he applied for a job and looked at the warehouse and cheated him of an arm and a system chip, and prosthetics and prosthetics are nothing more!SoC!These days, there is nothing more cost-effective than the second-level chips of military school graduates, okay?
Noticing that Li Pan is not used to losing his own chip, he still has to install a virtual network chip these days.

Otherwise, not to mention the police and security along the way, they will all think he is some kind of criminal who deliberately went offline to check his identity. The address book and personal account cannot be logged in, and those old garbage devices without facial recognition functions are useless. To put it bluntly, he can't even get into the elevator in the apartment now, it's really hard to move an inch in the literal sense.

So Li Pan searched and found a prosthetic body clinic nearby.The clinics in this urban area of ​​the night must be dozens of times more expensive than the black workshops in the slums, but there is no way, the virtual network chip must be connected to the security system network, if you only live with gangs in the suburbs of the slums, you can use dead goods Garbage goods can be dealt with, but now Li Pan works in the company and has to go back and forth frequently in the downtown area every day. There are policemen everywhere.

"Hello, welcome to the PROSTHESIS skeletal maintenance center. Is there anything I can do for you?"

In the clean and tidy hall, a prosthetic dancer exuding metallic luster came up to serve.

This PROSTHESIS belongs to a large chain store, similar to supermarkets and 4S stores. It mainly provides customized services for the installation, upgrade, maintenance and maintenance of prosthetic components. Various chips, processors, and prosthetic functional components can be ordered to be modified.

"I need to install a virtual network chip."

The dancer waiter scanned him and said in a sweet voice,
"You haven't installed any prosthetic body yet. Are you a believer in the Purity School? Please rest assured that our company is a qualified maintenance provider certified by the security system. The failure rate of surgery and the incidence of cyberpsychosis are fifteen times lower than the official statistics. You can use it with confidence.

Here is the catalog of virtual network chips currently in stock. Do you have your favorite signal and brand?Is there a specific feature required?Can I make a promotional recommendation for you?Do you want to consider applying for a membership card? [-]% discount for the first time! "

Li Pan was a little dizzy when he saw that the price of those chips was a string of zeros on the virtual menu broadcast by the dancer.

Firstly, it was indeed too expensive, and secondly, he was also worried, if there was another save file to read, wouldn't it cost so much money to install prosthetic bodies and reset them several times.

"Hmm... have a second-level technology?"

The dancer waiter straightened up, put his hands behind his back, his metal face electronic voice smile did not change,

"Sorry, we are in business, not charity."

You're useless, if I didn't run out of bullets in my gun, it would blow your head off...

Li Pan thought for a while and said,

"I'm an employee of TheM company. Is there any cooperative company that offers discounts? By the way, check the credit card loan guarantee amount that the company can provide."

Applying for a credit loan these days depends on whether you have a formal job. Even if money is tight for a while, the company can help you repay the loan. The bigger the company is, the higher the position is, the higher the loan guarantee amount is, and you can enjoy the luxury of a mansion. The beauty of the car is a life of a human being, and the company will also encourage employees to borrow money for consumption and purchase prosthetic bodies, after all, it can also improve work efficiency.

Of course, once you are fired and your credit card is cut off, it will be another story if your loan is not repaid.

The dancer waiter's eyes flickered with electronic light, and his voice suddenly became eager,

"Yes, the employee benefits provided by your company, when renewing the prosthetic body, the annual credit guarantee limit is 50000.00, and the repayment period is one year without interest. The part that exceeds the limit supports six installments, and the repayment base interest rate is 3 points...

All the big brand prosthetic body suppliers can provide special discounts for your employees, and provide exclusive membership, more discounts for more purchases...

Wow!Your company is really a big customer!Do you want to give priority to 0791 local brands?We have direct supply from the original factory, which saves import and export duties, and it will be much more convenient to transfer and upgrade! "

Damn, how much money is spent per person on prosthetic surgery to actually make the prosthetic companies in the sky scramble for high-quality customers with discounts!It seems that to be the dog of Monster Company in the future, it must be beaten into tatters and reset...

Li Pan, who was struggling on the verge of bankruptcy, didn't have so much spare money to pay customs duties to buy fancy gadgets from other worlds, so he accepted the other party's suggestion, with a bitter face, he gave priority to choosing from merchants in the 0791 plane.

When it comes to the local brand of 0791, it is naturally inseparable from MURAMASA, a veteran military prosthetic manufacturer under Gao Tianyuan.

As an armed manufacturer designated by the chaebol, Muramasa uses their products on a large scale from the company to the gangsters. They have three-, four-, five-, and six-level technology, and both military and civilian equipment. The production line is very complete, and there is mass production. Advantages and a large number of stocks are naturally the most cost-effective option.

Of course, due to Gao Tianyuan's old-fashioned background, and Chitiangou's massive use of Muramasa's arms, Muramasa is also being investigated by the Security Bureau and suppressed by Ye's in all directions, and production capacity has also been affected, but that's not your two thousand $500 is something to consider.

Another option is JYHAD EQUIPMENT, a weapons dealer under the Ye Group.

As the new owner of the Capital of Night, the jihad equipment is trying its best to expand its territory, attack Gao Tianyuan's old party, and hunt down the lurking red dogs.Naturally, they have been supported by various financial policies, and can enjoy tax-free subsidies and various benefits for unfair competition.

Therefore, although the other party's production capacity in 0791 is not sufficient, and they need to give priority to providing security forces for companies under Ye's, but the momentum of development is rapid, and it is also a very good choice in the long run.

Of course, there are many large companies such as military manufacturing, global links, and real vision, all of which have famous factories in the sky. However, some of these companies are specialized in equipment in specialized fields, and some are for tariff protection reasons. The price is too high, or sales are restricted, and it is impossible to repair and replace.Naturally, there is no need to think about it.

But it's still expensive after a discount...

The cheapest third-level chip costs 5000 yuan, and it is only 30.00% better than the second-level chip, and it is still a civilian product without many functions. It is really not worth it.

The technological equipment in this world is very different from military to civilian use.Although the civilian technology of the first, second and third levels is enough to cope with normal production and life, Li Pan's future opponents are monsters and companies, and the performance of civilian products is obviously not up to standard.

Normally, the cadres of large companies use five-level technological equipment, but the prices of these things start at least five figures, and the most important system chips range from 10,000+ to hundreds of thousands.

Relatively speaking, the fourth-level technological equipment is a cost-effective product that mercenaries, gangsters, and general company employees love to use, and it can be done for tens of thousands of dollars.

So Li Pan struggled for a long time between the village and Jihad, and finally chose HT Chaos Technology...

HT Chaos Technology is currently the top three technology companies in this multiverse, with a cross-plane quantum virtual network and the main operator of the public security system. Naturally, there are suppliers in 0791, although personal skeletons and weapons and equipment It is not very famous, but it is a leader in the field of intelligent auxiliary chips and communication computing.

What Li Pan chose was a retired Level 48000 military chip, Xingtian No. 1500, [-] yuan, and a Level [-] civilian ballistic coordination processor that is also a brand of HT. Press the gun to aim at the shock absorber, there is no big difference between the third level and the fourth level, but there is a big difference between yes and no, and there is also a bundle discount of [-]% off for the second piece, which can be done for only [-] yuan, and the sum is not even Max out your credit card, yes.

Of course, this Xingtian No. [-] is already a super-outdated version of the inventory, and it is designed for front-line assault soldiers. Its functions are more focused on electronic warfare defense, so that they will not be poisoned and crashed as soon as they board the ship.Moreover, it is not cheap to sell, and the source code has not been unlocked. It is not the equipment favored by electronic hackers, and it is not even used by general gangsters and mercenaries. The price/performance ratio cannot be compared with the other two.

But HT Technology's reputation in network security is reassuring. At least the little bastards of the Maelstrom Gang must not be able to hack into his mind.

Moreover, the veteran prosthetic ballistic processor used by Li Pan before is also an antique of HT Technology. It is the same company brand. As long as it is connected to the public network, it can update and inherit the shooting parameter settings, and there is no need to adjust the ballistic.

In this way, surgery was performed at the PROSTHESIS skeletal maintenance center, and the brain plug and ballistic processor in the hand were reinstalled. Li Pan also opened his eyes and returned to the reassuring virtual electronic ocean, immersed in all kinds of things that jumped in front of him. Pop-up advertisement light pollution.

"Welcome to Chaos Technology Support, I am your intelligent assistant Xing Tian, ​​and I have now linked you to the public safety system.

Citizen Li Pan, the account cash is 1147.95, and the current loan repayment is 3379.38.Total liabilities 30XXXX.XX.

Your next debt will be due and settled on the 15th of this month, please keep the account with sufficient balance.

Your mental bias is normal, thank you for using the public safety system and wish you all the best. "

Alright, alright, Xing Tian is ready, the big one is coming, everyone, watch this.

"Xing Tian, ​​activate ECCM mode."

"ECCM mode activated."

In a flash, all advertising pop-ups and junk messages are automatically blocked, and the world is clean.

Great!I just bought this pot of dumplings for your vinegar!

This is what he heard from those veterans. HT Technology is a security network operator, which can open the back door for the company's system, block redundant junk information in the system network, and greatly increase the processing speed of the chip in disguise.

Although this chip-level ECCM mode can only be regarded as better than nothing in the battlefield and space environment, but in the city center of the night city where electronic eye billboards are everywhere, it is simply a magic weapon!
However, after rubbing his neck, Li Pan could still feel the discomfort of the microsurgical wound despite using anesthesia and using the system to frequently block pain sensation.

How did the filing cabinet restore him in an instant...

For the time being, Li Pan couldn't figure it out, and he was too lazy to think about it. After updating the prosthetic body, he felt like taking the subway to the No. 7 warehouse.

The Uzumaki Gang is a violent gang entrenched in the industrial area of ​​the Night Capital. Most of these people are unemployed workers. After Gao Tianyuan lost the war, the local industrial system was completely destroyed, and 0791 was completely reduced to the dumping ground of the Ye Group.

These production line workers are naturally one of the biggest losers. Their ancestors have lived in industrial areas for generations, enduring heavy pollution and high-intensity work, just to earn a clean meal with their own hands, but now even this opportunity is not available. there is none left.

With the disappearance of orders and job opportunities, the once bustling and noisy industrial area quickly fell silent, but those who have the ability will not stay in the factory. They can only despair and watch the equipment that has poured the sweat of their ancestors continue to shut down day by day. Decay and decay gather dust.

So some people sold their citizenship rights and became social animals raised by the company, indulging in the cheap pleasure brought by medicine and super dreams.

And some people have tried to save themselves. They have tried to set up private workshops to do business on their own, steal old factory machine tools for illegal cyber transformation, use the broken parts of industrial areas to produce illegal components, and even carry out enhanced human modification by themselves, fighting with local gangsters for territory. , Even in order to make up for the lack of funds, he made cyber transformation by himself, dug out the eyes from the severed kidneys, and sold them to private medical institutions in exchange for start-up funds to maintain the flow of water.

It's a pity that this kind of behavior and this amount of funds are impossible to save their old factory buildings. Due to the lack of technological blueprints, poor product quality, broken funds, suppression and siege by surrounding gangs, various serious and harmful hidden dangers of self-made prosthetic bodies, and The abuse of low-quality drugs, the Maelstrom Gang, which has been severely reformed per capita, also suffered huge debts that could not be paid off after repeated bankruptcy, and finally gradually lost, lost their citizenship rights, and completely degenerated into the most rampant cyber-psychopath, the most brutal, and the most bottom-line One of the gang groups.

NCPA simply gave up the police patrol, and directly organized the police force to surround the exit of the industrial zone, and pulled up the barbed wire to snipe and kill the passers-by. Those who punched the card would directly attract the armed forces of the three-headed dog to raid.

The NCHK Night City Broadcasting Association also has a special program, which is to follow the three-headed dog special commando team, rushing into the industrial area to attack the building of the whirlpool gang, and there is no task, just dealing with pests. It's like a blood slice of a zombie.

But this kind of strangulation is useless. After all, the night capital was originally built by these workers, so there are still a large number of Uzumaki gang members, like rats and cockroaches, borrowing the complex sewer system of the old Tokyo metropolitan area to shuttle back and forth in the night capital , From time to time, they form a group to raid and loot, especially like to attack warehouses and garbage dumps in the suburbs to rob supplies.

And the Whirlpool Gang also knows how bad their reputation is, and they won't wander slowly, so Li Pan heard from Da Xiong that if the Whirlpool Gang stepped on it, he knew that they would definitely do it today.

As the saying goes, by the time you see your first cockroaches in your home, a brood has already moved in.

What?Why does he know so clearly about the Whirlpool Gang?
It's very simple, Li Pan's ex-girlfriend belonged to the Whirlpool Gang.

But the subway has arrived, so we can talk about her matter another day.
