I'm not a cyberpsycho

Wearing a hotel receptionist's uniform and wearing an angel wings silver emblem on his chest, the smart lobby manager projects a polite, even slightly flattering smile on his shell-like smooth and white mask.

"Have you decided on the main course, dear sir?"

Li Pan looked at the dazzling holographic projection,

"Well... what's the set meal today? Salmone alla Puttanesca? This plate is pretty good, what is it?"

The lobby manager reported the name of the dish on Biliba.

“Grilled salmon fillet, fresh natural salmon, potatoes as a side dish, served with cherry scallops, papaya fillet, basil sauce, white grape juice...”

"Wow, fresh salmon? How many legs? Can you talk?"

"Uh, sir, I don't understand what you mean..."

"Just kidding, it's just fresh fish... This is Ceres. It can't be fished out of the Pacific Ocean, right? Is it synthetic maggot protein? Can it be eaten?

I mean, this is my first time using VK’s prosthetic body. It only has the most basic taste sensory module. In theory, to maintain the function of the prosthetic body, I only need to inject No. 95 organic nutrient solution regularly. Is it okay for me to swallow this food? I have to pull it out..."

The lobby manager is quite professional, and his expression doesn't fluctuate at all.

"You can rest assured that the intelligent cooking system developed by our company will match your taste according to your prosthetic model. In addition, our Paradise Group and VK prosthetic manufacturing also have long-term cooperation, and the script protocols adapt to each other. As long as they are not changed, With original components, you can activate the taste bud components by adjusting the MT380 to comfort mode.

In addition, our store can guarantee that all the ingredients in the directly-operated store are pure natural products, fresh ingredients shipped from Europa, and the fish is monitored and quality certified in real time from birth to serving.

Please take a look at the lake light of Swan Lake Park in the Bavaria District of Europe. It is a one-to-one reproduction of the original version. You must go and see it if you have the chance. It is recommended to stay at the Swan Lake branch of Paradise Hotel. As an exclusive member, you can enjoy the top-level lake view suite. . "

Li Pan looked at the blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green trees, and lake-light castle projected by the other party.

Well, what’s in this picture is not the Earth, but Europa, Europa, New Eden that has been transformed into a livable place by the Taita Group, and with the support of environmentally friendly technologies from major companies, it is a truly top-notch wealthy area, a place for people in the universe. Home, paradise...

"Tsk... Europa... I hate Europa... Okay, let's do this. Okay, Yelena?"

Elena, who was wearing a gold backless evening dress, smiled cautiously, looked at the top intelligent attendant, and nodded in acquiescence.

So the waiter went to serve the food, and Li Pan looked at her, lifted the tablecloth, and looked under the table at her legs that were so restrained that they were pressed together.

"Hey, you're so good today. Why, am I that scary?"

Elena grabbed her dress to cover her crotch,

"Don't, don't be like this..."

Li Pan frowned. Elena shuddered, quickly changed her words, forced a smile,

"Okay, okay, I, I understand, I was wrong. If you want it, can I give it to you when I return to the ship..."

Li Pan scratched his head inexplicably.

"No, seriously, what's going on? Why are you so afraid of me? I won't eat you..."

Elena's hand shook and the wine glass fell to the ground.

"Hug! Sorry sorry!"

Before she could stand up, the intelligent waiters on both sides rushed over and knelt down, wiped the tablecloth and floor clean, changed the tableware and tableware, and refilled the aperitif wine.

Li Pan rolled his eyes and was quite speechless.

Then the foreman came up with two professional dancers who were all dressed up and extremely beautiful, and asked politely,

"Dear sir, do you need to change to a companion doll? You are a VIP customer of our Angel Group. Our company provides you with free angel rental services. If you have specific requirements, you can continue customized services at any time."

Li Pan looked at Yelena, whose face was pale, and then at the attentive foreman beside him, and finally came to his senses.

"Oh, no, that's not necessary. Well, the food will be served later. Give us some private space."

"As you wish."

A group of smart people retreated, and then the hotel private room was encrypted and sealed. At the same time, the indoor holographic projection showed the scenic area of ​​Swan Lake Park. It was sparkling and even the air was extremely refreshing. It was probably because some special perfume was used.

However, neither Li Pan nor Yelena was in the mood to enjoy the scenery.

Elena stammered directly, "Hug, I'm sorry...Master..."

Li Pan flipped through his personal mailbox and projected a contract.

This is Yelena's transfer contract. Well, a contract of sale. This time when I went to meet with the boss of Heiyou, Kanamori Goro not only sent Yelena to lead the way, but also directly treated her as a souvenir for the business. The ownership was transferred. Give it to Li Pan.

Of course, in theory, human trafficking is illegal, so what is actually transferred at the contract level is the prosthetic body and the debt. The prosthetic body that Yelena is using now, and the debt signed by the only brain that belongs to her.

So yes, Li Pan is actually Yelena's 'master'. A snap of her fingers can make her self-destruct, or she can sell it to some Paradise Space Station under the Paradise Group and become an angel to get some money back...

"I won't do that to you casually, let alone eat you, okay? I just need you to lead the way."

Yes, Yelena's 'body' is not worth mentioning. What is valuable is the coordinates of the refinery and the black oil transportation route worth hundreds of billions. This is the sincerity sent by the Jinsen Chamber of Commerce.

In theory, leading the way this time may also be Yelena's last mission. As long as Li Pan goes to meet the boss behind the black oil in person and masters the coordinates and routes, she will be dispensable, no, a A safety hazard. Under normal circumstances, they will be destroyed.

"I can help you erase the memory of the relevant coordinates and hire you as a bodyguard. Or I can simply keep you and continue to be the middleman driver for Panlong and Jinsen. After all, I am very busy. This business line cannot always let you I run with him alone. And now I also lack trustworthy people who can be useful..."

Yelena immediately knelt down, crawled over and hugged Li Pan's legs, rubbing her face against Li Pan's knees like a cat and looking at him with wide eyes. I have worked really hard to control my own destiny, but my body has been shaking...

It’s the first time I’ve seen her, and she’s quite like a royal sister. What’s going on with this contrast…

Li Pan also rubbed his eyebrows.

"...Go back and sit down."

Yelena quickly sat down honestly.

"Just... act normal?" Li Pan thought for a moment, "Just as a colleague? Forget it, secretary, lover, whatever. Just relax and don't attract attention to me."

Elena nodded repeatedly, "Okay boss, I remember it."

Then she rubbed Li Pan's legs with her feet. The force was so strong that the high heels poked Li Pan's calves.

"Oh, whatever, serve the food, serve the food."

So the intelligent servants filed in and served the main meal.

After all, it was the cooking system of a top company. The grilled salmon was indeed quite delicious, so much so that Elena gradually relaxed a little and couldn't help but ask,

"Are you actually a VIP of Paradisus? There are not many managers in Gao Tianyuan who can afford exclusive customers. Generally, those who can live in Sky City are shareholder-level investors..."

"Well, our company has good benefits and includes experience coupons."

Li Pan was noncommittal and didn't want to talk too much in front of these smart people.

After all, Paradise Group cannot be trusted either.

Li Panke still remembers the time when someone hit him in the face with a nuclear bomb while he was sitting upright in the car.

But unfortunately, in the Ceres universe, his options are very limited.

After all, the universe is the territory of big companies, especially in the many mining areas in the universe near Ceres. The most powerful industry with the largest number of industries is Valley Industries. In other words, this is an enemy-occupied area in the midst of a war!

The last time they met, they even demolished an agricultural space station, so Li Pan didn't feel confident meeting Yelena in a public area, and she didn't dare to hand over HAYABUSA directly to the refinery. It would be troublesome if someone else's fleet followed them.

So I searched the nearby universe and found that this sky city under the Paradise Group belongs to the company's private domain neutral zone. His exclusive customer treatment has not expired, so it is relatively safe.

The Paradise Space Station in Ceres is similar to the Sky City in the Night City. They are both consumer areas under the Paradise Group. Similar to the Baofeng Group, Paradise also provides various services in luxury goods, but at the same time, its smart human research and development technology is not bad either. But instead of making carbon-based bionic humans, we will make silicon-based intelligent prostheses and various Android robots.

At the same time, Paradise also has a special patent, which ranks at the top of the committee, namely Paradise server and Upload upload intelligence.

Yes, it's the brain-computer uploading technology of Shiba.

The "heaven" of heaven is equivalent to an independent hypothetical server outside the public network of the QVN quantum virtual network. It is the largest legal private civilian network in the deep network.

In those days, Paradise was also very wealthy, with the top three experts on the committee, but as the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. The two Internet giants, HT Chaos Technology and PG Paradise, were in direct competition, and the competition reached the level of a corporate war. In the end, the committee was even divided into two camps. Fighting broke out, the biggest civil war in the Security Council broke out.

Yes, it was the time when 30% of the heavens and worlds were destroyed and the star gates were all renumbered.

As the winner, HT Chaos Technology obtained the exclusive operating rights of QVN and monopolized all corporate services, various public safety systems, public transportation systems, and corporate network firewall services.

Naturally, Paradise plummeted. It lost orders from QVN, handed over a huge number of patents, split off the prosthetics and service industries and sold them. Only then did it finally stabilize its fundamentals and gradually recover.

But unlike companies like Dawn Terra that are in decline, because of QVN’s unique technology, Paradise still has a chance to slowly come back. And their most profitable business is to provide ‘exclusive paradise customization’ services to private individuals.

Because obviously, not everyone has 10 billion to enjoy a real reincarnation in another world.

For security reasons, Chaos Technology cannot grant special permissions to individuals on public servers to avoid threatening the security architecture of the entire QVN system.

But heaven can do it, it’s all broken anyway.

Usually only the company level can operate brain-computer assets, but Paradise uses the supercomputer, server and dedicated network that served the QVN public network and are now idle to provide customers with exclusive Paradise gift packages and exclusive smart uploads. Space and private brain-computer servers.

When customers purchase this service, they do not need to undergo special training like Shiba, nor do they need to develop a big snake system like the company. As long as they go to the Paradise City to undergo surgery, they can 'go to heaven' and be intelligently uploaded to their customized exclusive cyberspace. Achieve electronic immortality. It is equivalent to traveling into the Internet and into the ‘different worlds’ of another dimension.

And to a certain extent, this world where all your wishes come true may be more like paradise than cruel reality. Of course, the premise is that you have to have money to spend.

As long as you have money, you can live happily in paradise. You can also download it to a silicon-based intelligent human prosthetic body and be reborn at any time in any other world with a paradise server. Or if you get tired of playing with it, spend another 10 billion to customize a coordinated genetic human life form to be resurrected.

Therefore, those Sky People who live in Sky City every day mostly use Paradise’s customized service lines to swim in the virtual electronic ocean.

Compared with 10 billion rebirths in another world, the middle-class elite can barely afford the services of heaven. They can not only purchase services, but also upload their consciousness to heaven after death if conditions permit.

Some companies will also specifically sign contracts with the Paradise Group to purchase long-term insurance from Paradise for their employees, so that their employees can be uploaded to the Paradise server after their accidental death. In this way, work will not be affected, and you can continue to work and repay money after death...

Oh, heaven...

So after dinner, a piece of salmon and a bunch of condiments, Li Pan hugged Yelena and opened a private room in the Paradise Hotel. Then the two of them used the internal link of Paradise to connect to the Paradise server, and then the two of them downloaded it using their consciousness. Enter two intelligent human prosthetics, then buy a frigate that comes with a license and tax, and head to the oil refinery empty-handed to explore the way.

After such a troublesome detour, the cost was less than 10 million. If he is targeted by the company again, Li Pan will have nothing to say.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and no space pirates or the like intercepted their ship. After a series of deep space jumps and manual navigation in the mining area, they successfully arrived at their destination, the black oil refinery in Takamagahara.

This factory is located in the Kuiper Ice Belt. Unlike the asteroid belt, most of the surrounding celestial bodies are frozen volatiles, or 'ice', methane, ammonia, and water.

The refinery was built in a frozen methane iceberg. It was larger than the last warehouse and looked like it could accommodate at least a battleship class.

"Welcome, Manager Li. Thank you for your hard work."

"President Kanamori, thank you for the gift."

"You're welcome, you're welcome, you can just like it. Come and take a look at our factory."

Yelena did not have permission to disembark, so Goro Kanamori came to greet her on the rest of the journey and took him to see the production lines and warehouses of the refinery.

It is basically a fully automated and unmanned production area, with only a few automatic repair prosthetics. In emergencies, engineering personnel will be linked from a distance to repair.

This place is indeed quite big. Li Pan made a rough estimate. The entire factory equipment is fully powered and can produce at least 20 tons of black oil every month. It is obviously one of the main military factories supplying the Titan fleet during the war years. .

However, after so many years, the equipment has been dismantled, sold, repaired, and broken. Now only one production line is still maintained, with a full production capacity of one ton per month.

In order to avoid Ye's discovery of too frequent production and transportation, the amount used on the market is not high during peacetime. In fact, it is only used once every six months.

The two of them walked roughly in a circle, came to the office, and met the representatives of the shareholders behind the scenes. Of course, the other party also used a prosthetic body.

"Manager Li, let me introduce you. This is..."

"Maeda Echinaka."

The other party reached out his hand.

Li Pan was also stunned, "Maeda...are you me?"

He had seen the name Maeda Echinaka in various company information updated on the 18th when he was reading in the toilet.

This Maeda family is an important minister under the command of Oda. Maeda Etsuchu himself served as the leader of the Oda clan's horse and mother clothes. Later, he was assigned to Shibata Heavy Industries and served as the right-hand man of the Shibata clan. When the Oda family members were in civil strife, he once became the Shibata Ichi. The confidant of the department.

Later, after the Takamagahara Seiju Incident, this guy quickly rebelled, took over and conquered other forces under Shibata, and then took the Hokuriku Heavy Industries Group and jumped directly to Yushiba's subordinates, becoming one of the top local bosses in Yushiba's Takamawara regime. , and he is well-rounded and well-liked among the committee. He even managed to get a general in the Space Army. He can be regarded as a ruthless political animal.

I just don’t know if he was among the people who had tea together at the beginning...

"President Li, I have admired your name for a long time and have been looking forward to paying a visit to you. Please take a seat."

Goro Kanamori was also observant and had to shut down and log off.

Li Pan also said politely,

"I heard that General Maeda has recently taken charge of the engineering department of the Northern Army in Takamagahara. I am very grateful to you for taking care of me last time and purchasing a large amount of equipment for the company.

I will remit the money right away. If you allow me, I will arrange a ship to pick up the goods. I hope our cooperation can continue. "

In fact, if you think about it, although military consumables such as black oil are important, their shelf life is too short and they require careful production planning. Therefore, even if Takamagahara must be managed by Lord Oda's Ma Yuzhong cronies, they still have to work with the military industry. Only by maintaining a close cooperative relationship can the smooth transition to the fleet be achieved.

It is probably thanks to this dark trump card that the Maeda family is able to maneuver among various forces with ease and jump repeatedly. At a time when big families are being exterminated, beheaded and disemboweled, let's still maintain the dignity and power of the family.

"You're welcome. These are just trivial matters. As long as you say a word, we at Maeda Military Industry are willing to support your company in this bidding war. Just follow your orders."

Unexpectedly, there were no other spectators around, so Maeda Otsuka didn't want to lose any face at all. He bowed before him and knelt down, hugging his thighs and recognizing his father.

Although Li Pan didn't believe there was a word of truth in these people's mouths, a dignified Gao Tianyuan boss who knelt down whenever he asked was really powerful. So he was stunned for a moment, and then he put on a smiling face and helped him up.

"General, why do you say this? You are an important minister of Gao Tianyuan and the favorite general of His Highness Yu Chai. How can you afford it as a mere agent of mine who is not even a regular employee?

What's more, the outcome is still undecided. His Highness Hashiba has received many emails from me without even sending a fart. Takamagahara has not taken sides so far. Is it really okay for you to switch sides so quickly? No way, just give someone a kiss when you see them, right? "

Maeda Koshichu didn't get angry, he still licked his face and smiled,

"From what you said, that monkey climbed all the way from 'Weiyuan'. He is indeed quite clever and scheming, but what he saw was still just the 'Takamagahara' on the book. I have never made a horse, and I have never seen it. 'Yellow Springs', having never seen the real 'Takamagahara', there are many things that it is impossible to make correct judgments about.

But my family has been Lord Oda's personal servant since ancient times, and I am deeply rooted in the "Yellow Spring". I know clearly that your company has been involved in 0791 for a long time. It has been operating on this earth for many years, and the strength it shows now is nothing more than tip of the iceberg. The transfer of the Holy Grail to us for safekeeping several times before was nothing more than the judgment of the superiors.

And now that the really powerful ones on the committee have withdrawn early, the remaining ones at the bottom want to challenge your company? Haha, I don’t think this battle is worth fighting. Even if your company doesn’t take action, your ability alone, Manager Li, is enough to defeat other cosmic beings. If you don't come to show your kindness now, when will you wait? "

Li Pan was stunned for a moment, kept smiling, and glanced at him silently.

"...General, must you have misunderstood? What skills do I have? My skills are all given by the company."

Maeda Echinaka smiled and said nothing, took out a chip from his arms and handed it over.

"Those people in the universe don't know your potential, but I know it very well. In fact, we have been paying attention to you and tried every means to hide you. We originally wanted to arrange for you to work in the Security Bureau after graduation, but it is our fault that we hid you too deeply. , but was ruined by some idiots...

Forget it, now you are recruited by TheM, which is unexpected and reasonable. It's strange that they can't find you. But I heard that people from the SEC have also talked to you, right? If we keep hiding it, bad things will happen.

Therefore, here is a little greeting ceremony, which is not respectful. I think after you read it, you will believe our sincerity. "

Li Pan took the chip and inserted it into the chip doubtfully. When he saw the "Human Instrumentality Project" that popped up, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"Who the hell are you."

Maeda Echinaka smiled and said,

"No, what you should ask is not who we are, but who you are."

Then his prosthetic body's eyes dimmed, disconnected and went offline.
