I'm not a cyberpsycho

In this case, it seems that the bidding war has really begun.

Bidding, after all, no matter what happens these days, it is still a capital market, which emphasizes free competition. Of course, it is impossible to invite everyone to drink a few cups of tea and fan out the Mabida fans, and then the bid will be won by default, right?

This is the biggest difficulty in the Holy Grail Bidding War mission.

The company has to deal with more than just the winner of the last Holy Grail!

And all the players in the universe who are interested in the Holy Grail!

There may even be some bidding forces that are not really interested in the Holy Grail itself. They are just here to join in the fun, raise the price, and find an opportunity to test the latest weapon system. After showing their skills, they will force other bidders to cede their interests and buy them. Just 'withdraw from the competition'.

Therefore, for some subsidiaries, it is impossible to spend 140 trillion yuan in ten years, while for some subsidiaries, even if they unified the world, they would still have to spend 20 trillion yuan.

So this time, as soon as the big plan started, unknown forces launched an assassination attempt on the 0791 acting manager. From TheM's point of view, it was completely expected and a completely normal rhythm.

Are you kidding me when the company comes up and allocates 10 trillion yuan to you?

Some money, you have a life to earn, but you have no life to spend it, okay?

And naturally, since Li Pan himself was caught...

"Boss, the Holy Grail is missing. It can be confirmed that at the same time as the nuclear explosion, a big explosion occurred near the delivery point of the Holy Grail agreed with Emilia. All nearby cameras were destroyed. The NCPA reported that it was a gas explosion. Now the Holy Grail may be buried in the rubble. He may have disappeared."

Spider Shi Shiba reported in the office, and at the same time, the video of the colorful man jumped out of the car, knocked over Li Pan, and opened his skull. Then he suddenly convulsed, dug out half of his brain, and then kicked Li Pan away. Self-destruction scene.

"As for the assassin this time, I have repeatedly investigated the data. The company's spy satellites, security systems and transportation system monitoring did not detect the stealth shuttle, and the customs has no similar import registration records for prosthetics and models. It was probably smuggled in and assembled secretly.

As for the final suicide of the assassin, there is a high probability that it was invaded by other hackers. In other words, at least two forces participated and conflicted at the assassination scene. But the other party did not invade our company's ICE, and I couldn't find out the other party's background. "

Li Pan didn't mind embarrassing himself in front of everyone in the company, so releasing the battle records would at least put others in the company on guard.

After all, the combat power of the colorful man opposite is at least several hundred million. Just looking at the power of a single shot, the combat power is conservatively at the level of a single-handed cruiser. Even if he doesn't fire a single shot, just driving the AVNDS into the crowd will be enough. It can kill everyone in the company.

Next Shiranui Kiriko also spoke,

"Boss, Koga replied. All the managers of Emilia's team have been arrested. Most of them were taken away directly by the Night Knight. Emilia's illegal prosthetic body is also missing. There are hackers from other forces secretly Assistance slipped away from Koga’s nose.”

"Oh, so my big plan just started, but I got beaten up hard. The Holy Grail is gone, the transaction partner is gone, and even the money is gone, right? So let's talk about any good news."

The fax machine buzzes.

Ah Qi looked at the documents that came from the fax machine.

"Boss, the money sent by the company to Panlong Construction has been frozen. The Seventh Bureau of the Security Bureau has filed a review application for the "PMC Employment Contract". It suspects that the company is involved in illegal money laundering and applies to the tax bureau to audit Panlong Construction."

"Fuck the mud——!"

Li Pan lifted the desk and threw it from the window.

Everyone was as silent as a cicada.

Li Pan took two deep breaths, controlled his emotions, pointed at the projected colorful man,

“Let’s do it one by one, get the Holy Grail first and then the money, but first, we have to find a way to deal with our competitors.

Eighteen, can you get rid of this AVNDS? "

Spider pose. Eighteen,

"It's difficult, boss. This kind of defense system is top-notch. It is connected to QVN throughout. This kind of prosthetic body should also have a built-in subnet. You must hack the ICE of the head office to usurp control. And if you want to do it, you have to know Which company’s product is it?”

Li Pan, "Damn, isn't that just unsolvable? What the hell? He has the Holy Grail in his arms, who can pull it out?"

At this time Yamazaki raised his hand,

“I have heard from friends that there are actually not many companies that can do AVNDS, and because nanoworms are very expensive and have high technical content, they are generally only provided with the highest-end medical insurance packages and provide rental services.

Moreover, in order to prevent nanobugs from damaging each other, companies have internal agreements. AVNDS systems will not take effect on each other, and the defense effect is only for non-exclusive users. This will boost sales. "

Li Pan's eyes lit up,

"Do you enjoy the privilege of being a customer! Okay! Give him what he deserves! Buy it! Get one set for all employees! Buy the most expensive one, don't save the company money!

After removing the interference from the defense system, who among you has the confidence to face off against such a prosthetic person? "

Everyone just shook their heads.

Sealing Demon Kotaro said, "It's definitely not possible to fight head-on. This prosthetic body moves too fast, and I'm not sure of victory even if I remove the seal. Moreover, our transformation has a time limit. Bionic bodies like theirs are at least nuclear-powered. Tireless for hundreds of thousands of years.”

Ashiya Shiki held his chin and repeatedly replayed the scene where the opponent raised his hand violently and released high-energy rays towards the building.

"My shikigami must be within the field of vision in order to exert its full power and keep up with the opponent's rhythm, but the opponent's attack is too far away. I can't stop it this time..."

Li Pan was not surprised and nodded.

"Yes, they also have built-in nuclear bombs. If they can't be hit, they will self-destruct. So they can only snipe from a distance... Okay, I'll find an expert.

In this way, Kiriko, you coordinate the Koga people and continue to look for the Holy Grail and Emilia.

Kotaro and Shiki act as a support team and catch Emilia as soon as they find her. But if someone else steals the Holy Grail, then follow him for now and don't act rashly.

Yamazaki, please communicate with the finance department and arrange medical insurance and AVNDS for all our employees.

Ah Qi, keep calling people, tell the company's reinforcements to stop dilly-dallying, it's imminent! Come down and help!

Eighteen, give me the address of the illegal cloning base at 0213. Spider-style, come with me and clear this branch line.

In addition, the company remembers to retain people! Communicate at any time. Once you find someone who has lost contact, call back immediately! "

Although the big plan is on the verge of collapse, Li Pan really has no time to fight a corporate war for the time being. After all, his current combat power is about the same as a few werewolves. He can dominate the Night City. Joining the corporate war is just to go up and deliver food. Yes, I need to get two silver keys first.

By the way, employees were previously arranged to collect the wreckage of 081007, and by the way, the two formal suits that escaped were also recovered. It seems that they escaped quite far, and none of them were burned. However, they were all hit by a nuclear bomb at close range and needed urgent repairs.

But Li Pan doesn't have a single silver key in his hand now. Let alone mending formal clothes, he can't even use any handkerchiefs or Kenmaru's big killer. Now he has to clear a few small tasks first and then strengthen them. own strength.

So with the Spider-18 and a group of company drones, Li Pan put on the SBS armor and flew straight to the seaside in the armored aerial vehicle.

With the cooperation from 0213 and the upgraded Shiba for comprehensive reconnaissance, this mission is basically like going from point A to point B to fight a few mission monsters, which is not difficult at all.

The target is OHSUMI Bio Science Laboratory, a private research institute. The legal person of the institute and the main target of this operation is Dr. Ryohei Ohsumi, a professor at the School of Biological Sciences, New University of Tokyo.

This institute is also a joint project with New Tokyo University. It mainly studies marine life in the currently highly polluted Pacific Ocean and how to restore the 0791 marine ecology.

According to the email information shared by 0213 with 007, the other party communicated with Osumi Research Institute and commissioned the other party to make illegal clones of temporary workers one by one.

What? Why is it New Tokyo University again?

This is actually quite normal. After all, there are only a few top universities in 0791. If you look at what happened to Huang Dahe, you will know that Yeshi Polytechnic has a bad school spirit and academic misconduct. It is just a place for rich people to pay for their intellectual disabilities. The ones who are being tricked are the children from poor families who have no money, no real status, and can only rely on scholarships to survive.

In contrast, New East University, as a 0791 brand and prestigious school, does have a certain level of academic ability and scientific research. It can be said that Gao Tianyuan was able to cross the threshold of the committee with half a foot, but it was the professors of New Tokyo University who forcibly carried him in.

But I heard Chengzi mention that the threshold of New East University is too high. They are either the sons of professors or the daughters of doctors. There are people with IQ-coordinating genes everywhere on campus. The competition is more intense and scholarships are more difficult to get. Even Huang Dahe’s level is not good enough. I wasn't completely sure, so I settled for the next best thing and went to a place like Ye's Polytechnic, which offered a full-year scholarship and a job after graduation.

Li Pan didn't have to follow this operation in person. He could just stay in the floating vehicle. He just said "Authorize the operation to begin!", and Spider Shi Shishiba yelled "Follow me, little one!" and took him with him. A bunch of drones jumped from the sky.

What follows is basically a standard assault template. The optically invisible drone swarm first occupies the nearby monitoring and network center, uses a virtual machine to take Osumi Biotechnology Research Institute offline from the LAN, and then hacks into the subsystem to unlock access from all directions. Exhaust pipes from wastewater ditches above and below were drilled into the laboratory from every corner.

The raid went smoothly. All the researchers in the laboratory, including Ryohei Ohsumi himself, were arrested, and no one resisted. After all, they were all research animals who came to work for the professor, just to gain internship experience. After meeting a large number of Of course, the pile of killing machines raised their hands and surrendered, and obediently opened the database for Shiba to check.

"Boss, we have recovered the experimental data leaked by 0213007, and have ordered and made three clone prosthetics. In addition to the ones used by temporary workers one by one, the other two have also been recovered. However, there is no guarantee that the target has not mastered the technological blueprint. and genetic profile for backup.”

Through the live broadcast, Li Pan saw Dr. Osumi lying in the biological cabin and connected to QVN. His main consciousness should have been uploaded to other prosthetics.

"Where are they now?"

Spider Shiba used his two mechanical hands to bang for a while.

"He is attending an SEC academic seminar in Europa. The SEC's internal network ICE is blocking him. If he is pulled out forcibly, an alarm will be triggered."

0791 Earth's Europa has long been reduced to rubble by nuclear bombs, which naturally refers to the space city on Europa.

"There's no rush, just wait a minute, wash out the action records, clean out the laboratory, and move everyone and the cabin back to the company."

Li Pan called in the prosthetic body test data to take a look at the situation. The temporary worker's prosthetic body was not so much a fishman, but actually more similar to a modified body of an ichthyosaur like a plesiosaur. It was indeed quite strong underwater. The physical strength is extremely high and can withstand water pressure thousands of meters deep. The skin has also been specially treated and has a layer of molecular-level corrosive material that can survive in the Pacific Ocean, which is now polluted by nuclear radiation and industrial wastewater.

It's just that the fishmen in the 0213 world also have other superpowers, such as turning the fish bones on their bodies into weapons, using high-pressure water cannons, telekinesis, and controlling marine life. As for these effects, 0791's bionic fish-man has not yet been completely successful.

But I have to say that this Dr. Ohsumi is indeed quite capable. The technology of other worlds is not something that cats and dogs can copy just by taking the technical blueprints. Moreover, judging from the qualifications of the other party, he is indeed quite old. In fact, it is not limited to marine life, but in a broader category. He has written papers on genetic enhancement and bionic human research.

If we look further up, Dr. Ohsumi's mentor and his mentor's mentor are also academicians of Gao Tianyuan's Institute of Biology. It can be seen that it is also a school that has been passed down for a long time.

But again, has Gao Tianyuan been defeated? Besides finance, the Ye clan is also best at biotechnology, and the vampire prosthetics are the secrets of the Ye clan. Of course not, and there is no need to invite these locals. professors have joined in biological research. So far, they have only recruited local talents in science and engineering, mathematics, physics, electronics, and engineering.

Therefore, Dr. Ohsumi is also unemployed, and he can only study fish, shrimp, and seaweed all day long, or customize cloned organisms for rich people. Judging from the other party's email records, he did not leak the information to anyone else. He was just pretending to be some cosmic tycoon who was full and wanted to swim in the sewage, wastewater and nuclear water of the Pacific Ocean.

Li Pan stroked his pen,

"It can be used. Tie them all back to the company to create an army of bionic people!"

"okay!"

So the eighteen commanding officers used nanowire to tie up a group of doctoral assistant research animals, carried them into the cabin, and took them away.

"Boss, someone is watching us, do you want to kill them?"

After seeing the message from Shiba, it was clear that there was

"Are you a scout from another family? Don't worry, you can also arrange for the drone to follow back and feel where the person is."

"Okay."

It's definitely not just Caimianren. Companies like the committee will also take action.

Yes, definitely.

Because many times, the game of fighting for power is not just a matter of interests, but a matter of showing power and respect.

If your sense of existence is too low, you keep a low profile and play big chess all day long, and you will only be criticized when something happens, then no matter what the data on paper is, you will only be a joke in the eyes of others.

When it comes time to form a clique and fight in a team fight, no one will stand on your side. After all, you said you have a big move, but you can't get it right even once. So who really believes that you can rise up at the last moment?

Therefore, Li Pan can be sure that no matter whether other forces get the Holy Grail or not, as long as they have the opportunity, they will definitely want to beat him up as the general manager to show their strength.

This can't go on like this! We must quickly improve our strength to the point where we can participate in the war, at least not like a rice cake that anyone can hammer...

"Boss! The Holy Grail has appeared!"

What! So fast? !

Just like that, someone hacked into NCHK and broadcast the Holy Grail footage for three minutes during the evening live broadcast. Guess what, the Holy Grail is in the Opera House.

At the same time, the bounty hunter system was also bid at a sky-high price, 100 million! Get that cup, one hundred million!

The group of cyberpunks who had never seen the world immediately went crazy and raced towards the city like baboons in heat.

Good guy, I hope the world will not be in chaos, right...

Li Pan quickly contacted Wangshan.

Wangshan, "Good guy! You only pay us one million! A total of one million!!"

Li Pan, "...it's my fault, help me get the Holy Grail, and I'll share it with 100 million."

Wangshan said, "If I don't help you, it will be an equal share!"

Li Pan gritted his teeth, "One hundred million for each person! I will give each of you a deposit of fifty million! Black money! Pay the balance when you have it, and there will be cash from the Holy Grail! No matter how many people are left, four hundred million will be divided equally among you! "

Wangshan simply said, "Deal!"

Li Pan reminded, "This time my opponent must use at least level seven bullets!"

"I understand!"

Wangshan hung up the communication.

Li Pan gritted his teeth and had no choice. Although he hadn't had time to strengthen his prosthetic body and prepare for war, he had to go now.

After all, he was the one who caused the whole Holy Grail War. He is the one who took the blame!

When we arrived by aerial vehicle, the security system monitoring near the theater had been shut down and offline by unknown forces, and several surrounding urban areas had been turned into purgatory battlefields.

In addition to the bounty hunters and cyberpunks who happen to be nearby, there are also the Yakuza forces who happen to be holding a mafia dynasty competition. In addition, the NCPA also has many auxiliary police teams to join the battle royale, ding ding ding, ding ding, ta da Click, click, click, carbine, sniper rifle, and typewriter on the street sounded like a grand symphony, kicking off tonight's gorgeous and bright red feast.

Relying on the company's fifth-level aerial vehicle, Li Pan rushed all the way to the front door steps, and the aerial vehicle was knocked upside down by a five-level rocket.

So Li Pan directly asked the company's armored aerial vehicle to go back to pick up the reinforcements, handed in the mission at the same time, and rode on the Spider. Eighteenth airborne assault.

Even though he had a strong body that was in the realm of refining qi and becoming a god, and had 18 planned evasion paths, and the spider's built-in point defense system intercepted armor-piercing projectiles, Li Pan was still overwhelmed by the barrage coming from all directions.

The bulletproof armor all over his body was shattered, the SBS synthetic fiber on his body was also shattered, and his skin camouflage was torn to pieces, revealing layers of scales glistening with blood.

But fortunately, he was so stupid and so young that he really forced his way into the theater. The density of all kinds of bullet rain suddenly lightened up, at least the outer level was passed.

"Eighteen, I'll leave my back to you, cover me."

"Leave it to my boss!"

Spider-style Ding-ding-dang-dang kicked off the broken arms and legs, shrunk into a dog-sized light-weight mode, and followed behind invisibly.

Li Pan cautiously opened the way ahead. It was not that there was no one guarding the theater, but that all the guards were dead. Judging from the scattered limbs and body fragments, at least one platoon of Nightcrawler guards had been torn to pieces by something.

Obviously Li Pan and the others were quite lucky. Other participating players came all the way in front of them, knocking out their defense.

So following the bloodstains all over the floor, Li Pan arrived at the Grand Theater and kicked open the door.

"Don't fucking move!"

Li Pan saw the Holy Grail placed in the center of the theater at a glance. Next to the Holy Grail, there was a middle-aged man with an ashen complexion and wearing a black robe, standing in the center of the stage.

He glanced up again.

Prince Cornelius of the Ye family, escorted by a group of night knights such as K, sat in the VIP seat.

And looming in the audience, there were several figures whose faces were covered with optical camouflage, obviously all here to participate in the bidding.

The man in the robe looked at Li Pan expressionlessly, stretched out his hand,

"Now that everyone is almost here, everyone, please take a look, the Blood Saint..."

Li Pan fired like a ping ping ping pong. A flurry of bullets hit the man's head, and the activated defense system bounced away. The audience looked sideways.

The man's face was expressionless,

"The Holy Grail bidding war begins now. As the arbiter, I will explain the rules of this time..."

"RPG!" "Boom!"

Li Pan hit with a rocket and immediately blew up the stage. Then he threw all kinds of flash bombs, shock bombs and incendiary bombs in his hand, causing the theater to burst into a sea of ​​flames.

The man couldn't hold himself any longer and waved his hand violently, "Quiet!"

In an instant, the hair on Li Pan's neck stood up, and he dodged and flew out. The place where he was standing was hit by a blast, as if he was hit by an invisible hammer, and most of the theater building collapsed.

The man said expressionlessly,

"I, the Arbiter of Dirac, was entrusted by Prince Cornelius, the ruler of the Ye family, to serve as the notarizer of this Holy Grail bid..."

"EMP!"

Li Pan threw out two electromagnetic grenades, which hit him three inches in front of his crotch and bounced away. Bang! Suddenly, the electromagnetic pulse swept across the entire venue, and the colorful electromagnetic shock waves swept out like a wave and landed on other spectators, just like the waves hitting the rocks and being blocked by the light curtain.

That man is also on fire,

"Manager TheM! If you interfere with the normal bidding process again, I will deprive you of your participation in this round of bidding..."

"What kind of onion are you, bitch!"

Li Pan charged, firing his shotgun at the man randomly, causing sawdust to scatter on the stage and filling the stage with smoke and dust.

"You dirty scum and ignorant bastard! You dare to get your hands on my things even if you care about me! I won't fuck your dad! You are dead! I said it! And you dogs! If you dare to steal my things, I will I’ll step on my horse and kill your whole family!”

Prince Cornelius, "Ahem."

Li Pan, "Oh shit, I'm not talking about you! Eat my big RPG!"

The man in the robe was so angry that he slapped him away and stared at the rockets hitting his crotch.

"Enough! TheM! Out! I declare here! In three days, whoever gets the Holy Grail, except TheM Company, will be..."

Then Li Pan suddenly threw the gun away, dropped a bunch of flash bombs, turned around and ran away.

The man in the robe was stunned for a moment, then he saw the Holy Grail, which had been knocked away by the explosion and rolled down the stage at some point, jumped up as if it had legs, jumped out of the smoke, and fled with Li Pan. Out of the theater.

The audience in the VIP seats burst into chuckles.

K covered his face.

Prince Cornelius coughed twice, "Ahem, then let's just start, Arbitrator."

The man nodded gloomily and declared loudly,

"The bidding war begins."
