Chapter 282: Building the Shadow World from Scratch

As the new President of the United States who has been re-elected for three terms and has the merit of at least nominally regaining the "Western Free States", Rosalind Miles' personal prestige is not low.

Besides, all those who could appear here were her confidants, so naturally no one dared to disobey her orders. All the agents put away their weapons. Even if they were puzzled, they did not say much. After all, they did not suffer any casualties.

"gone."

Ke Ling waved his hand and greeted Rosalind Miles.

The subsequent cooperation and arrangements will be discussed in detail at the meeting. Another key figure, Arasaka Yorinobu, will also be invited to attend, and the discussions will mainly be conducted between the two of them.

As for Arasaka Yorinobu, Ke Ling could trust him anyway. He was a true idealist, an extreme one at that.

The only thing to be careful about is to not let Arasaka Yorinobu go crazy and create some chaos, as this guy hates capitalists.

The existence of Rosalind Miles can complement Arasaka Yorinobu. She is a professional politician with superb political skills, and she obviously understands what the "Shadow Society" should do better.

That's right, although Rosalind Miles took the initiative to launch the "Unification War" and has been clamoring for unification like a warmongerer, constantly clashing with the "Republic of Texas", she actually knows very well that war is just a political means, and everything is to serve political goals.

"Lark, just follow me first."

After saying goodbye to President Miles, Ke Ling did not forget "Lark" Song Zhaomei. The greatest value of this genius hacker was that she contributed one trait. In addition, her experience in dealing with the "black wall" also interested Ke Ling.

"Lord Devil, please remember to give it back to me. Even without her status as a deterrent weapon, she is still a very good secretary."

Rosalind Miles looked helpless. This request was her last stand. As for whether to return it or not, she could only let Ke Ling decide.

"It depends on whether our Miss Lark is willing to come back to you."

Ke Ling spoke jokingly. It went without saying that it was unlikely that Song Zhaomei would be willing to go back, as the memories she had with Rosalind Miles were not very good.

"We are companions now. If you come back to me, you will be treated as a companion, as my secretary, or even as my vice president in the future."

Rosalind Miles was obviously very satisfied with Song Zhaomei's work ability, and with someone like her around, she could safely entrust many things to her.

"."

Song Zhaomei opened her mouth. She was still in a daze. Having lost all her prosthetics, she was not used to returning to her flesh and blood body. After all, her original self had been severely transformed.

Moreover, as a hacker, losing the Internet connection is like losing the whole world for her, like losing her limbs.

"I will follow Lord Devil's orders."

In response to the invitation from her "old boss" Rosalind Miles, Song Zhaomei said that she didn't want to go back in her heart.

But it didn't matter to go back. After all, now that she went back, she wouldn't have to be manipulated and controlled by Rosalind Miles anymore. Maybe she could even manipulate Rosalind Miles in return. After all, they now had the same boss.

Song Zhaomei doesn't really care about the vice president position. She is not a power-hungry person, and it doesn't appeal to her.

In fact, she is now somewhat lacking in life goals, because her previous life goals have been accomplished with the help of Ke Ling.

In comparison, Lord Devil's side is obviously more important. Song Zhaomei is grateful to this mysterious man.

Her existence was of no use to this adult, but he helped her to free herself from her restraints and allowed her to return to normal, no longer eroded by the "black wall". This puzzled her. Was her talent really enough to be valued by such a person?
Compared to people of the same status and position as Rosalind Miles and Michiko Arasaka, she seemed insignificant.

Song Zhaomei, who had no idea that Ke Ling had acquired a trait from her, was obviously a little puzzled by Ke Ling's behavior.

However, Ke Ling would not explain to her and let her guess on her own. This genius hacker was not that crazy yet and had not been tortured to the point of madness by the "black wall". After some time, maybe he could really return to normal.

Song Zhaomei's character was actually quite eccentric and arrogant originally. Rosalind Miles taught her a solid lesson and let her see the adult world. Now Song Zhaomei is much more calm.

"Let's talk about this later."

Ke Ling did not give a clear answer to Song Zhaomei's arrangement. He just waved his hand, and then left with Arasaka Michiko and Song Zhaomei, leaving Rosalind Miles behind.

Rosalind Miles, whose life trajectory went in a completely different direction due to sudden changes, sat alone in the conference room for a while to calm down, then stood up again and left with a determined look on her face. She was ready to face a brand new life.

"New challenges, new opportunities. This shadow may become my stage."

Rosalind Miles is ambitious and wants to rebel against Ke Ling, but she doesn't have the ability or the idea to do so. At least for now, she sees no hope.

But what was she afraid of? Why couldn't she become a leader among the others who were being manipulated?

Rosalind Miles wanted to fight for the position of leader of the "Shadow Society". It was not in her character not to fight. She was thirsty for power.

On the other side, Ke Ling brought Arasaka Michiko and Song Zhaomei back to Night City. Arasaka Michiko returned to her company to handle affairs, while Song Zhaomei entered the "Shadow World".

Michiko Arasaka is much busier now than before. Her "Dangerous Girl" has established a deeper cooperation with "Arasaka", and she herself has also begun to take over some work in "Arasaka", the main one of which is naturally monitoring and supervision.

This is her duty, and it will be the same with the "Military Technology" side later. The power that Ke Ling has given to this "famous detective" is indeed not small, which is why Michiko Arasaka is getting more and more excited about her work.

Ke Ling really does what he says. He only coordinates the overall situation, and all the specific management and various tedious matters are delegated to others. There is no boss more likable than this.

In the "shadow world", Ke Ling looked at the various buildings that were rising from the ground, and was quite emotional for a moment. It turned out that someone had to move in. Humans would expand their own living space, and their subjective initiative was much stronger than that of the artificial people who simply guarded the Einzbern Castle. It might also be because they needed to survive, enjoy themselves, relax, and relieve stress.

After building the living place, they will build "hydroponic room", "breeding hut", "bar", "cafe" and so on.

Food and other things were previously fed by Ke Ling from outside and placed in the Einzbern Castle, where they were fed by the artificial people.

Obviously, this model made the researchers feel a little insecure, so they took the initiative to propose building "hydroponic rooms" and "breeding huts" to at least achieve self-sufficiency in food.

There is no need for any professional manpower to manage it. In the "shadow world", there are obviously no roaming AIs, and there is no need to worry about "network monitoring". It can be directly managed by fully automatic AI. What's more, there are also idle artificial people.

In fact, many researchers were also interested in artificial people, but the manager Xiaoyou did not let them do whatever they wanted.

Of course, these researchers have no way to force their way through. After all, they are now the managed party and no longer have the support of the company. Naturally, they have no way to fight against the androids and shadow mechanical guards.

Not only the androids, but also the shadow mechanical guards and the "shadow world" itself, make these researchers extremely curious. This is a new world that is full of challenges to their existing scientific system, and there are many things that they cannot understand.

Ke Ling actually doesn't mind them playing freely, whether it's research or construction. He wants to see the formation of a city and wants to see these researchers bring more results.

In the "Shadow Realm", in his kingdom of God, these researchers cannot cause any trouble. Everything they do is for him. They cannot resist, because their resistance is like a group of small ants trying to destroy the entire universe.

Each of these researchers who are able to join "Arasaka" does have real skills. With the help of androids and shadow mechanical guards, and the resources provided by Arasaka and military technology, they are fully capable of building a new city in the "Shadow World".

It’s just that there are not many people now, and they don’t need to build so many buildings. Including relatives with families, there are only about a thousand people at present, of which there are only one or two hundred serious researchers, and the rest are family members who were brought here.

Soon, another group of researchers will be sent in, and the number will increase. The city will become more and more lively. The whole city will revolve around the Sky-Supporting Tower and the Einzbern Manor, and it can be said that it expands from these centers.

"We have to go check on Muzan Kibutsuji first. If these people really create an artificial sun, we must make sure that Muzan Kibutsuji on the top of the tower is not sunburned."

Ke Ling suddenly thought of this, but then he changed his mind and thought that Muzan Kibutsuji should actually be immune to this kind of thing. After all, it was not a real sun. This guy was suffering from conceptual damage.

"Buzz!"

Ke Ling appeared on the top of the tower. Although it is unlikely that he will affect Muzan Kibutsuji, it is better to take some protective measures just in case.

What if after hanging an artificial sun in the "shadow world", this "artificial sun" really has the power of a conceptual sun?

Who knows what this concept is, in that case, it is indeed the "sun" in the concept of "shadow world".

Ke Ling had an idea, and the two flesh and blood puppets that had been guarding Muzan Kibutsuji on the top of the tower retreated to the side. Their duty was to suppress Muzan Kibutsuji's regeneration and prevent this guy from escaping from prison.

At this time, Muzan Kibutsuji was still in a puddle of mud. It was obvious that these two flesh and blood puppets had done a good job.

Of course, it may also be because Muzan Kibutsuji has already given up, and this guy has realized that he has no way to escape.

"What are you here for?"

The rotten meat named Muzan Kibutsuji spoke. It obviously sensed Ke Ling's presence, and his tone was full of vigilance.

He still clearly remembered the feeling of being swallowed madly last time. When he saw Ke Ling appear again, he immediately became nervous.

"Don't be afraid. I just came to see you. By the way, I should make use of you. I was clearly planning to use you for the lottery, but in the end I was busy with my own lottery. I still have to make use of you."

Ke Ling comforted Muzan Kibutsuji, and then with a thought, the terrain on the top of the tower began to change, and a dome appeared, covering Muzan Kibutsuji. The dome curved and finally became a cave. Now, no matter what it was, it could not illuminate Muzan Kibutsuji, and the cave was pitch black.

"What do you mean? What are you going to use me for?"

Muzan Kibutsuji had a bad feeling. What good could Ke Ling do with him? It must be some means of torturing him again!
"Don't worry, it's all trivial."

Ke Ling smiled and looked around, thinking that he needed more guards. If the researchers were given some time, it would not be impossible for them to get up there.

Of course, as long as he does not provide the materials, these people will not be able to build a vehicle that can fly to such a height. Moreover, their majors may not be suitable. Currently, most of the researchers here are still studying biology, genes, and chips.

After the people from the "military technology" department arrive, there will be more researchers studying prosthetics, networks, etc., which are obviously not in line with the aerospace field.

You have to be careful with hydrogen balloons and helium balloons. It is not difficult to fly up with these things. Many things that seem impossible are actually child's play in the face of technology.

It's just an altitude of 10,000 meters. It's very difficult to climb it by yourself, almost impossible to complete, but it's very easy with the help of tools.

"Perhaps, we can recruit some more people. There are still many people who want to escape from this terrible world."

Ke Ling thought about it, but he hadn't figured out the criteria for recruiting people yet. Should he recruit all kinds of talented scientists to build a special scientific research city, or could anyone come in? Should he build a normal and healthy city?

The entire "Shadow World" is in a situation of thriving vitality and development. Everything is in a state of being rebuilt from scratch. The decision made by Ke Ling will determine everything here. What the future holds depends entirely on his thoughts.

“There’s no need to worry too much about it. The shadow world will definitely grow bigger and bigger. The nature of a city cannot represent the entire shadow world.

This city at the center of the world, the first city to be formed, still needs talents from all walks of life, and every industry has its own top talents. To build it from scratch, it is natural to pool the wisdom of all. "

Ke Ling thought about it and finally made a decision. He was full of confidence in the future of the "Shadow World".
