I'm not a cyberpsycho

Although the urban areas and LEOPORT in North and South America have been beaten to a complete mess, with mecha drones, sky carriers and supersonic missiles flying everywhere, the private shuttle with the Panlong logo still passed through the war zone unscathed. Landed in the Yingzhou metropolitan area under the control of Gao Tianyuan.

A man and a woman got off the shuttle. They were wearing formal suits, wearing leather shoes, and carrying alloy briefcases. They were tall and strong, with a nine-headed model shape, and their slender curves and tight muscles were almost as if they were toned. He looks like a champion, but his face is bare, with only outlines but no eyes, ears, mouth and nose. Looking from a distance, it actually makes people feel awe like the uncanny valley.

Yes, this is not a real person, but a bionic human prosthetic body that uses a disguise mask to hide its identity.

The Takamagahara Military Police at the airport customs remotely scanned and checked the other party's identity documents.

Panlong Prosthesis Trading Company, Panlong Prosthesis Trading, is the special commissioner of PPT trading.

PPT manager and secretary Long Yue, PPT manager assistant and driver Li Qingyun.

This company is registered in the lunar city, and the other party probably uses a pseudonym and an unregistered prosthetic body, but it is normal to hide one's identity during wartime.

In view of the fact that the other party also holds a concession pass and trade permission letter issued directly by Gao Tianyuan's General Staff Headquarters, the materials in his name are exempt from war requisition. Naturally, they were not obstructed in any way and the security system allowed them to enter the customs freely.

The two of them didn't waste any time. They walked in a uniform and precise pace like robots. They walked out of the airport with intelligent navigation and raced at superhuman speed. Like a gust of black wind, they entered a hodgepodge of cities full of cyber and oriental architecture. .

This is Yingzhou, the giant metropolitan area of ​​Earth 0791. This port city was expanded by Gao Tianyuan on the basis of the original Yingzhou Prefecture of indigenous forces. It is the logistics and trade center of the entire region. Its actual jurisdiction includes large tax areas and population towns in the two southeastern provinces, and basically controls the entire coastal area. Import and export trade keeps the local money bag firmly in your hands.

As a result, the court that now rules the Ming Dynasty has completely become Gao Tianyuan's puppet and is controlled by Gao Tianyuan's agents.

Although in the tokusatsu movies, Wudang and ninjas are equally matched, the cruel reality in this timeline is that the Yingzhou area is always firmly in the hands of Gao Tianyuan.

After Gao Tianyuan came over and showed off his cruiser, the natives exclaimed, "Gods! Heavenly beings!" "Invincible!" "Destiny!" They voted neatly.

Since then, the Tiandihui and Black Lotus Sect uprisings in Yingzhou have emerged one after another, but they have been brutally suppressed by the Takamagahara Army, but the Yingzhou metropolitan area is still singing and dancing.

Later, after Takamagahara was defeated and surrendered, various companies began to divide Takamagahara's heritage. However, Yingzhou is still basically in the hands of Takamagahara warriors. A large number of businessmen with Takamagahara background live in Yingzhou City, occupying almost all the major industries in Yingzhou.

It’s not that other companies let this piece of fat go. After all, in the era of Earth 0, this area belonged to the headquarters of the Pangu family of companies. Therefore, similar to GE’s investment in semiconductors and OFEC’s investment in Mars, it would logically be divided among HT, TFC, and BYB. For such a company, no other company would bid for land, so as not to offend the most powerful Pangu faction.

However, Gao Tianyuan has been in a competitive relationship with the Pangu system for a long time, so the other party is naturally connected, and he lacks investment interest in the remote 0791 Earth. Buying and selling is fine, but it is better to forget about investing in setting up factories and actively developing it.

In this way, the local landowners and gentry are much luckier than their counterparts in the peninsula, and can do whatever they want without any restrictions.

But these people are not capitalist business owners, nor are they engaged in scientific research. They are feudal lords integrating government and business. They have neither academic ability nor ability, nor motivation, nor even sufficient financial resources. They have no interest in strengthening and protecting the country, improving people's livelihood and well-being, or catching up with the productivity of the universe. The only thing I'm interested in is probably making money for my family.

The irony is that these landowners and squires used to give Gao Tianyuan dogs, and they couldn't even exchange them for Zhutian currency. What Gao Tianyuan delivered were company performance points, and they could only exchange Gao Tianyuan's products internally.

But now when you are trading with Zhutian Company, as long as you can export the resources that others need, the company can indeed pay you.

These same people have worked as compradors for Gao Tianyuan for so many years, and they have done it to the bone. They have only learned how to annex crazy land, resell resources and minerals, and exploit the people's wealth to the extreme.

After the fall of Gao Tianyuan, since most officials in the DPRK and China had thousands of acres of fertile land under their names, they continued their old business and signed a long-term agreement with Zhutian Petrochemical. They barely managed to catch the last train of Zhutian trade and got a big deal. With this order, industrial wheat, the first commercial crop in the world, began to be planted on a large scale throughout the entire region.

Well, this is the current regional policy of Yingzhou, changing rice to wheat.

Industrial wheat, which is a genetically modified wheat based on the latest bioengineering research and development, is a patented crop of Zhutian Petrochemical. This wheat is rich in improved synthetic grain alcohol and is specially used to extract important fossil fuels and petroleum derivatives. Since its inception Since then, it has become an indispensable part of the industrial system of the heavens, equivalent to the rations that feed the industrial behemoths.

Due to insufficient atmosphere and rain on Mars, production efficiency is not high and costs are too high. Therefore, industrial wheat still has to be mainly grown on Earth. It is usually produced by indigenous agricultural countries and then exported to large companies such as Zhutian Petrochemical for further refinement into industrial products. Derivatives.

However, as the main agricultural country of 0791, the local indigenous people are responsible for providing agricultural support and providing various cash crops to feed Gaotianyuan. Now, with the large-scale conversion of rice to wheat, serious famine has occurred.

Yes, famine.

Although it has the support of advanced agricultural technology from the heavens, artificial weather operation, smooth weather every year, professional and scientific fertilizers, and bumper harvests every year, the yield per mu of industrial wheat is extremely high, but the problem is that this is 'industrial' wheat.

This stuff is not meant to be eaten by humans and animals. Grain alcohol is not conducive to being absorbed by the human body and its nutritional content is extremely low. At the same time, it consumes a lot of land fertility and relies entirely on industrial fertilizers to supplement supplies. After basically planting industrial wheat for one or two years, the land quickly becomes barren and it is impossible to produce other cash crops.

Without the advanced technology of the heavens, we can still only follow the path of an agricultural country, and naturally we will not be rich. So it's still the same as before, with poverty and chaos, and rebellions continue.

Of course, when Li Pan enters the city, he will definitely not be able to see even a rebel. After all, the landlords have also kept pace with the times and established a system. If you don't know how to build, you can't buy, right?

Therefore, the urban area is surrounded by towering palace walls, surrounded by military camps of Jin Yiwei. In the core area of ​​​​the city, except for the cosmic people, sky people, and company dogs, only students with imperial examination achievements or the family members and slaves of the master of the examination can Enter.

Well, GE is already working on Sky University, but here we are still recruiting talents based on stereotypes. Moreover, it is a class system that combines cyber stereotypes, fame and system certification.

Of course, these days, only the real scholarly families and landlords can afford to let their children go to school without work.

Only those who pass the academy examination and become a scholar will be entered into the system and apply for a NINGBO resident certificate. Not only will you be supported by the court, free of grain, and have a living room, but also have judicial privileges. You can also receive Mars potato relief food, which is equivalent to the residents of the Night City. Got a temporary residence permit.

And as long as you pass the provincial examination and become a civil servant, congratulations, you will be a glorious member of this landlord group, get the rights of indigenous citizenship, and you will be given the banner of the Imperial Guard.

Well, after all, only by serving in the military can you have citizenship rights. Isn't it a mandatory rule of today's security system in the world? Therefore, even though the people who hold the exams look down on those ruffians from the bottom of their hearts, they still have to hold their noses and serve as factory guards for a few years before they can be certified by the system and become a naturalized citizen under the system of heavens.

And only when you become a citizen and have an identity in the QVN system can you open a bank account, sign a contract with a company, integrate government and business, use the vast hectares of fertile land passed down by your family, engage in wheat business, and earn some foreign exchange. , not just to buy a luxury car and a sports car. Otherwise, who will accept you and send you money as big as toilet paper?

"Here we are, this is the local bank used by the Collectors Association."

Longyue connected to the bionic body and stopped in front of the bank guarded by the Jinyiwei mecha embroidered with flowers.

"Now that the world is in chaos, there are many hidden masters, and there are a lot of scattered monsters, and there is no security system to monitor them. The association has secretly recruited many masters from the black and white circles. They all lend money from here."

Li Pan also came in and looked around.

"Jubao Bank is not a serious bank."

Hazy Moon refers to the inscription on the landscape painting.

"No, it's opened by aboriginals, some kind of pavilion boss."

Li Pan searched online,

"Hiss... But I heard that he seems to be the more honest one in the cabinet, right?"

Koga Ozuki laughed when he heard this.

"Integrity... Your family has four million acres of land, and you can be as clear as water and as bright as a mirror.

Of course, compared with the Ximen family who are now the masters of the imperial court, they are indeed clean and tidy. The Ximen family's property registered with the tax bureau is at least fifteen times that of this family. This is still reported by the family independently and is on the books.

However, the Ximen family was too arrogant and domineering. After Gao Tianyuan surrendered, they openly gathered the remnants of the local people into private soldiers, and also raised a large number of underworld killers, bandits and pirates, who ran rampant and did whatever they wanted, causing public resentment. The money leaving his family's bank was too conspicuous. "

Well, I can only say that people's circumstances are indeed very different. Sometimes it makes people wonder what kind of parallel universe will be born if a change occurs at a critical point in time.

The same place, the same blood, the same civilization, in some world lines, all people have uploaded their brains and machines, and their machines have ascended. In some parts of the world, officials are still forcing people to rebel, and peasants are revolting.

This is the heavens...

"Welcome distinguished guests, please invite me to your private room."

Upon seeing such a strange appearance, the natives naturally knew that a heavenly being had arrived. The clerk from Jubao Bank immediately invited them into a private room. Without saying a word, he first served them with wine and food, and then summoned four domestic slaves and maids to perform sex. Playing and singing makes it feel like visiting a brothel.

Then he installed Gao Tianyuan's second-hand prosthetic eye patch, and made his face look like the Uzumaki Gang. The shopkeeper of the bank also came over to kowtow.

"Little Xu Qian, I don't know what orders the gods will give when they arrive."

Koga Ouzuki comes straight to the point,

"We need to check an account, register the legal person, registered address, capital flow, and retrieve all surveillance videos on the day when the payment is collected."

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly,

"Ah, this, I'm afraid it's against the rules, guest..."

Li Pan raised his index finger to stop his nonsense, "Do you know what it means to be polite first and then attack with force?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, "Of course I know this..."

Li Pan said coldly,

"I personally came to ask you for it. This is a 'gift'.

I hit your master in Wenyuan Pavilion with a stick and his brains burst. This is a "soldier".

"Rites" first, then "soldiers". "

"yes."

The shopkeeper kowtowed and went out without saying anything.

Koga Ozuki looked at him,

"Actually, it's enough to use coercion and inducement to open an account and deposit him tens of millions..."

Li Pan glanced coldly at the domestic prostitutes who were as silent as cicadas and even played the flute tunelessly.

"I still have aliens on a planet to kill, and I don't have time to waste time with these insects."

However, the Xu family is used to dealing with heavenly beings. Seeing how fierce and domineering these people have been in the past two days, how dare they say anything, so the bank data of Koga Ozuki pretending to be Yamada REIKA and making money transfers was quickly compiled. Put it on the chip.

The shopkeeper's servants resigned. Koga Ogi directly inserted the database into his wrist to read it. After confirming that there was no golem virus, he scanned the accounts and sent Li Pan the address of the Yellow Seal Brotherhood office and relevant information.

Well, it's a bit troublesome to check carefully.

It's an office. Of course, the Yellow Seal Brotherhood can't be so ostentatious. It can just set up a copy of the cult headquarters and wait for you to form a team to clear it. The last account address I checked was a pear garden in Suzhou Prefecture. From the Internet, it seems that this is an Internet celebrity attraction. Jiangnan literati often gather here for outings and gatherings, drinking tea and listening to music. It is an elegant entertainment facility.

Then based on the citizen information of the other party's registered bank account, I checked the other party's identity and background, and it turned out that the backer of this fraternity was not a good person. The account was registered under the name of a Hanlin Academy bachelor named Zhang. Liyuan was also the property of the Zhang family. A Hanlin bachelor basically reached the top of the imperial examination. The next step was to join the cabinet, become a rising star in politics, and control the core power of the court.

And Longyue soon found out in the Liyuan program that there were several opera troupes, and they often toured out of the city. Their footprints were all over the country, and the flow of people was complicated. In addition to performing opera, acrobatics, and magic, they also invited people from the world and brothel singers from time to time. Ji Xianyi, the clues are too complicated, it may be difficult to find the real traces of the Yellow Brotherhood.

Rushing in rashly and making a surprise attack will obviously only alert the enemy. If the opponent jumps out and confronts Li Pan, that's naturally good. But if you miss the target and the opponent is alerted and directly flees to hide in a ravine, it will be difficult to deal with the chaos. Yeah, there aren't even many monitoring satellites, and there's not even a heaven rod to smash.

Li Pan thought about it and glanced at the remittance data. It was quite large and obviously didn't match up.

"Besides that fraternity, ACA has other subordinate organizations that take money from here, right?"

Koga Ogyue nodded and pulled out a few more collector collaborators.

"Most of them are transferred to middlemen. In addition to the brotherhood, there are three other companies that have long-term cooperation. One of them is the Xu family's Songjiang Trading Company. With Mr. Xu Ge in office, all official matters can be handled through the trading company's connections.

The other two companies that remit money on a long-term basis are an escort agency and a brothel. I guess they may be the forces of the Tiandihui. I know the addresses of these two companies, but I don’t know about the business. Sage Company is only responsible for financial transfers. Support. "

Li Pan thought for a while,

"ACA must have a local site director or regional director, and since we collect monsters, we can't safely leave those things in the hands of ordinary people for safekeeping. We must guard them personally, so there should be a special monster warehouse here. .

Hmm... I think it's probably an escort agency. Monster Company is basically a logistics company, and using an escort agency to escort monsters is not conspicuous. But what about a brothel? It’s possible that people come and go. These two families are in the city? Pick the nearest one first and take a look. "

The most famous place in the south of the Yangtze River is Qinhuai, which is ten miles away from Jinling City, but the service industry has always followed the flow of wealth, and the famous official and private prostitutes have also moved to the urban area.

There are brothels, restaurants and flower boats everywhere along the canals in the city. It is considered the most prosperous city center. Boats and cars come and go, and there is a constant flow of people. It is really difficult for people to notice if they place their stronghold here. But this time, Li Pan looked backwards from the source of the capital chain, and he naturally found it out by following the clues.

"Wuyilou, this is it."

Koga Longyue was about to enter, but was stopped by Li Pan.

Li Pan took out the newly sent biological suit from BRW from the alloy suitcase, put on the insect compound-eye mask with a spell on the forehead, and glanced at it.

"That's it? There's no need to enter. I'll have to wait until I gather a group to do this. Come back."

"Ah, ah?"

Koga Ogyue was confused, but she noticed Li Pan's gaze and turned her head in that direction, but she saw nothing except a Taoist-like tower that was mostly hidden in the lights of thousands of houses and shrouded in shadow.

But Li Pan had already turned around and left, and the escort did not go to see her. They took her directly to stay at the local Baofeng Group hotel.

"You stay in Yingzhou and are responsible for investigating the brotherhoods in Wuyilou and Liyuan. Try to avoid direct contact with them. Find ways to learn about them indirectly through local circles and ask about the reputation, rumors, actions, and actions of these organizations. Know exactly what they are hiding here and doing here.”

"...Aren't the association members collecting monsters?"

Li Pan shook his head,

"No, they are monsters. They are not half-baked apostles or projections, they are physical clones that have completed their descent, at least partially.

The building just now is part of the monster's body. It has been deeply implanted in the great spiritual center of the earth. We completely control the local magic network, and we have no chance of winning on other people's territory.

That thing can probably be used at any time if you want to get along with it, but it seems to be holding back for some reason... Well, it's so stable, so let's be steady and investigate first before starting a fight. "

Koga Ozuki swallowed.

Li Pan didn't scare her anymore.

"The Yingzhou investigation task is entrusted to you. I will give you a budget of one billion and give you the authority of the rod of heaven. If there is danger, I will smash the horse.

In addition, help me find someone, Martin Zhang, the descendant of Wudang. There has been no news since he entered the mountains.

By the way, help me check the news about the Black Lotus Sect. Their leader died in the Night City last month, and the news should have spread. Maybe there will be trouble in the world. "

Jiahe hazy moon,

"...Didn't you say it was just a temporary business trip?"

"It's a long-term mission now. Well, just go through the plot in Yingzhou and skip to the beginning of the fight before calling me.

To the outside world, just say that you came to Yingzhou to develop business and sell prosthetics for the PPT company.

Let’s do training and stuff in private time after get off work. "

"It's the master."

As soon as Koga Longyue saw that Li Pan had made a decision, he naturally stopped talking and just followed the boss's instructions.

After handing over the business here to Koga Ogyue, Li Pan changed back to the company itself and started making phone calls.

Just call 01 for support.

Well, thanks to being cautious, I went to Yingzhou for a look. I didn’t know the result until I went. I was shocked when I went. I’m afraid there were at least 2, or even more, S-level missions there!

Yes, Li Pan couldn't solve it even if he spent trillions on S-level like Big Maggot. Now Kepler is still not sure about S. Did Yingzhou have to pay for all this at his own expense? Isn't that just fun? !

Call someone! Call someone! !

A cloud-piercing arrow! Thousands of troops are coming to meet you!

However, there is no support...

"Everyone has been sent to 016."

After listening to Li Pan's report, General Manager 01 came back with one sentence,

“There are 2,000 monsters in 016, so you have to at least confirm them all.

There are only 300 successful recycling reports this month, and there is no spare time to support you now.

Besides, you're not the only one asking for help, queuing up. "

Damn it, the queue is okay...

Well, Li Pan understands that 016 jumped after leaving 01. As a committee company, TheM has to guard the gate for Earth 0 first no matter what. 0791's priority is indeed too low.

"...Can you give me more silver keys? I won't be able to use those powerful monsters I brought. Or at least reimburse me? The Rod of Heaven will cost me one billion at a time, which is very expensive!"

The baby who can't cry can't get milk, Li Pan keeps complaining, 01 is also very annoyed,

“The allocation of silver keys must be based on the company’s articles of association, which is a contract that cannot be broken.

However, if what you are dealing with is indeed the Yellow Seal Brotherhood, I can teach you an undefeated strategy.

You may consider preparing weather weapons in advance. "

Li Pan, "...Invincible tactics? Weather weapons?"

01, "Yes, technology, magic, superpowers, no matter what method, whether it is storm, yellow sand, or haze, as long as the starlight can be completely blocked."

"Blocking...starlight? Are there any prerequisites for the other party's skills?"

Li Pan subconsciously raised his head and saw only the thick acid rain clouds in the Night City.

01 said slowly on the other end of the phone,

"Yes, when fighting them, first confirm whether Aldebaran is visible.

But you don’t know where Aldebaran is, right? So in short, just cover up the starry sky.

Of course, if you see it, don't start fighting, then you won't lose, it's very simple.

Oh, and then, when they start singing, just run away without looking back. "
