I'm not a cyberpsycho

Li Pan picked up a pocket watch and took a look at it. It was a hand-wound gold pocket watch. The case was made of 18k gold, platinum and rose gold. Colorful flowers and plants were carved with showmanship, and there were landscape paintings made of colorful enamel on the cover. , the crystal back shows through and you can see the carefully polished and ingenious precision movement.

The quartermaster Colonel behind him licked his face and introduced,

"This is a treasure collected by the Governor of Panama, Maltese's out-of-print minute repeater. Maltese was a famous luxury goods manufacturer in the Legion era, and the so-called minute repeater..."

Li Pan glanced at him sideways,

"I know, if you push this lever, it can strike the time according to the time. The most recent Maltese minute watch was sold for 253 million at the Europa Watch Fair. It was a gold double spring light. A tactile three-reply perpetual calendar pocket watch with a moon phase display. It is said to be a family heirloom of the commander-in-chief of the legion.

The workmanship and artistic value of this piece seem to be higher. If it is true, it can be worth 300 million. "

The smile on the Quartermaster's face froze, "'What if'?"

Li Pan spread his hands and projected the scanned and remodeled clock structure.

"In this era, those who play with mechanical watches are just old antiques in a small circle. What they play is art, history, precipitation, style and accent, but it is not technical workmanship.

Look at the flaws on the hands, look at the wear and tear on the escapement, look at the elasticity of the spring, you can see it, it’s perfect, it’s brand new, how the hell can this be original?

It's obviously a high imitation of Maltese. It's a mechanical watch no matter how old it is. It has zero technical content. You can directly download the blueprint online and 3D print it. I think this is what niche enthusiasts find jewelers. No, It looks fake at first glance, and it was obviously made by a student who was looking for a metalworking internship.

If you like it, buy it and play with it. If you don't like it, just treat it as garbage.

Okay, that’s enough to say it’s rubbish. The materials you use are quite satisfactory. It’s heavy, and it’s made of real gold and silver. Moreover, it seems that the workmanship and modeling of this piece have been done with care. It should be the kind from Tokyo University of Science and Technology, majoring in mechanical production. I am a top student, and I used the school's precision machine tool to make it for several months. If you wear it to match my appearance, you can also cheat or something. Anyway, I give you 2.3 million. "

Quartermaster, "Ah, ah? Ah, this..."

Li Pan casually put the pocket watch back.

Quartermaster, "Huh? Wait, but, this, two million is too much, at least one thousand..."

Li Pan rolled his eyes, "I'll give you a college graduation certificate and trade it with you, can't you switch?"

Quartermaster, "Uh...Okay, okay..."

Okay, three hundred million is in hand. After all, the one that was auctioned before was actually a high imitation, but if a rich person is willing to take it, what can you do...

Ahem, in short, now Li Pan has discovered that fighting in a war is very profitable, it can even be said to be a huge amount of money, and you can eat until your mouth is filled with oil. Of course, the premise is that you can win. If you lose, just eat shit. .

So now Li Pan followed Gao Tianyuan's quartermaster directly to the warehouse to settle the 100 billion advance payment. He was faced with mountains of gold, silver and jewelry, luxury watches, luxury cars, and perfumes and furs. All are spoils of war captured by Panamanian plutocrats.

Well, it's a bit vulgar, but it's acceptable.

After all, the military naturally has to keep those combat readiness materials, such as alloy oil, arms and medicines, which are in real short supply, for its own use. Hard currencies such as various technological equipment, advanced machine tools, chip components, etc. are not part of Li Pan. They must be divided by Gao Tianyuan's companies and put into reproduction. So now these luxury goods, which have high premiums in normal times but depreciate greatly in wartime, are traded.

Of course, Gao Tianyuan must still have cash and a large number of secret otherworld accounts. After all, do they still maintain transactions with some second- and third-tier companies that claim to be neutral? If you don't pay cash, how can they be willing to give you something like a small business like Li Pan? Barter on credit.

But after all, because he declared war on the committee company and cut off all contacts with front-line companies publicly, his business was restricted, and the company's accounts were naturally subject to strict scrutiny. It can be said that the entire Zhutian Tax Bureau is now staring at Gao Tianyuan's account, and not a single legal transaction can be made.

The staff still had to prepare for war and diplomatic activities, so the front-line troops could only barter these luxury goods.

But thanks to Li Pan’s previous purchase of a gun from RM, the pistols of the luxury goods group are all smart. Li Pan touched it casually, and the gun scanned the object through the ballistic correction sensor, and the smart system actually came with it. What about the luxury goods appraisal scanning and second-hand market inquiry functions.

With Didi, I directly scanned the estimated discount prices of those pocket watches and necklaces, and gave them to an RM Group person to compare similar products and help Li Pan make a cut!

The position of quartermaster is naturally held by the chief's trusted aide. It's okay to keep accounts, but it's impossible for him to be like the intelligent assistant of a luxury goods group who knows all kinds of jewelry and chops with a knife. Well.

So at first he worked hard and struggled, but then he gave up and was directly slashed by Li Pan, who started at 20% off. He bargained until he was speechless. However, in addition to begging for mercy and complaining, he slightly reduced the 20% off to 30% to 40% off, secretly Apart from calling the company dog ​​shameless, there is nothing else I can do.

After all, the two sides have different positions. Li Pan is just picking out the good ones, but the quartermaster also wants to pay bonuses to the group for the liquidated loot.

The Goto Brigade rushed forward as the vanguard of the Kuroda Army and fought tough battles in siege and field battles. Although the loot is the largest, one unit is responsible for the largest armed losses of the entire division, and no amount of additional military supplies is enough.

But in a semi-feudal, semi-capital group like Gao Tianyuan, a samurai society divided into families and factions, although fighting for the company did receive salary, bonuses and reimbursements, in essence, it was still one's own retainers to raise and one's own mechas to fight for.

So naturally, there is also exploitation and oppression within the samurai, fighting for power and profit. A batch of military supplies is transferred, and each combat unit has to fight for it. To be honest, the equipment obtained from the arms dealers of the Takamagahara system are all local with low technical quality. The goods may even be intercepted by superior troops.

So for a small arms dealer like Li Pan, the brigade commander asked his friend President Todo to introduce him. How could a subordinate like him dare to look down on him?

So the quartermaster stopped arguing. Anyway, the other party's market price was slapped on his face. It was reasonable and well-founded. The costs, risks and benefits were all calculated for him. He just copied the report according to the instructions. He also gave an explanation to the superior, so he had to nod and bow down to arrange for no one. It's just a machine, just wrap it up for him.

Li Pan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, okay, no loss, no loss, in fact, it is impossible to lose. With the Ye's dealer license given by Yulia, Li Pan can directly go to the manufacturer to pick up the batch of arms supplied to Goto Brigade at 60% of the market price. I got it at a 30% discount, and after calculating the other transportation costs, it was almost settled at 10 billion. Originally, Li Pan quoted a thousand and a half, but he wanted to bargain, so it was enough to earn him a thousand.

In the end, he didn't expect that Goto actually agreed right away, which made Li Pan feel more and more unhappy after thinking about it. He always felt that his bid was too low, he lost again, and was made money by others. He was so angry that he woke up from sleep. .

But fortunately, the other party didn't have cash to pay, so there was quite a lot of concessions to be made on the luxury goods. Although luxury goods have depreciated in value these days, after a big knife slashed, Li Pan's rough filter estimated that this The collected jewelry can be recycled at least 250 billion.

Earning two thousand and four thousand with tears and blood is not too small, so be content.

And the most important thing is that Li Pan actually found five monsters in the warehouse. Just tell me whether you are happy or not.

Well, monster, five pieces.

What does it mean that you can't find anything even if you wear iron shoes, but it doesn't take any effort to get it? Two days ago, he went all over the Night City and couldn't find a single thing. Now, after walking around the warehouse twice, he counted five items, so of course he got them all.

Ah, as expected, it is a gold belt for murder and arson. It is most efficient to follow Gao Tianyuan's army to search the house and pick up the leaks behind the butt. No wonder the company liked to cooperate with these bastards before.

These five monsters can be mixed and kept in the warehouse. Naturally, they are not red dangerous goods. However, without further analysis and research, Li Pan was not sure whether these were 'monsters', 'monster derivatives', or 'monster remains'.

However, Li Pan could see something strange with his naked eyes, and RM's intelligent system couldn't identify the composition, so he could definitely change the key.

As for the monster shapes, they all naturally have a luxury appearance.

The 'goddess statue' looks like a marble sculpture. It is a collection of fine workmanship and has a lifelike shape of a nun. Li Pan just took one look at it and it started to bleed and cry...

'Football' is football in the literal sense. It is said to be the winning goal in the final of the World Cup. It also has the signature of a famous local star, the captain who led the Panama team to win the championship, Golden Globe winner, 0791 World Footballer Diego. .

Yes, people still play traditional football these days, and it is much more popular than explosive balls in the universe. After all, the old antiques on Earth 0 like to watch football, so is there any sponsorship...

Of course, what they are playing is serious Superman football. All the players on the field are super-athletic bionic human prosthetics, and the competition venues range from zero-gravity vacuums to super-competitive sports on giant planets with a hundred times gravity. If you want to go up and play a game, the admission fee is probably 14 million. It's really impossible without a prosthetic plug-in worth more than one billion. Where can your 14 billion people participate?

Ahem, but for this kind of aristocratic sport, corporate sponsorship and technical competitions are also indispensable. After all, the audience are the richest people in the world, so why don’t they put all their efforts into equipping them with technology to attract angel investors?

So you can’t say that people on the scientific side are weaker than those in other worlds.

It can only be said that compared to other systems, the application of civilization technology is more polarized. Only extreme elites and big capitalists can enjoy the benefits of technology.

The pursuit of higher, faster, and stronger genes has always been engraved in the bones of human beings.

Of course, this kind of niche aristocratic game has indeed broken away from the mass base.

At present, all sports events and live broadcasts of sports lottery games are paid items and are monopolized by members of the Safety Committee, the All Sky Sports Federation, and FMSA. You must open a dedicated line with QVN to watch.

Therefore, poor people like Li Pan can only play local explosive balls, and they really have no interest in football or anything like that.

Ahem, I’m going too far, but in short, the heartbeats of ‘dong dong’, ‘dong dong’ and ‘dong dong’ can be heard in this ‘football’. And obviously only Li Pan can 'hear', so what else is there to say? Let's just accept it first.

'Crystal Skull', Crystal Skull, this thing is quite consistent with the 'monster' setting. You can also search it online. It is said that this thing can talk and sing, and it also has knowledge about the origin of human beings. You only need to collect thirteen of them. Save the world or something.

Although most of them are fake, this one seems to be a bit real. At least Li Pan saw that this skull does contain some kind of energy. And you can vaguely hear the skull humming, as if it's singing, right?

But it's a pity that this 'crystal skull' has been modified by a collector. A gold bowl was put in the mouth to make a 'crystal skull ashtray', gold foil was pasted on the head, and opals were stuffed in the eyes. I don't know which one it is. Rich man, his taste is really vulgar...

Then there is the 'Sun Mask', a golden mask of the local belief in the sun god. This should not be a genuine 'monster' or projection. It feels to Li Pan that it is at best a 'magic weapon' or 'propp'. You can still see it. The witchcraft runes have only been around for a long time. Although they still radiate energy like sunlight, their brilliance is very dim and there is no power left.

Finally, there is the 'earth dog', a thin dog made of clay. Li Pan knows this thing. The priest introduced it on the Day of the Dead. It is called Isuguitele. It can guide the wandering souls of the dead and take them to the world of the dead. It's similar to the Underworld Leader, but it's harmless. It probably has special attacks on ghosts.

Because these five monsters have certain collection value and cultural toy attributes, they are also mixed in the warehouse. After bargaining, the "football" is slightly more expensive. After all, there is still a fan market for sports stars. It is estimated that they can fetch several million. Of course, Panlong has purchased it no matter what, so it's impossible to hand it over in exchange for the key in vain. If you turn your head and use your left hand instead of your right hand, you should be able to extract hundreds of millions of dollars from the company.

However, in terms of probability, if there are 2,000 monster projections in a world like World 016, evenly distributed among twenty giant metropolitan areas, there should be dozens or even hundreds of monsters near Panama.

This time I only received five items, so there is obviously room for improvement.

Of course, after all, this trip is not a loss.

We reached an agreement with the quartermaster and stuffed him with a black gold data card worth five million as a red envelope. This guy burst into laughter and said enthusiastically, "Don't worry, I will pack your order now." Wrap it up so that you won’t bump into it.

So the rest was handed over to the soldiers, waiting for them to pack it up and deliver it directly to the Night City by military aircraft. Now that Li Pan has received the deposit, he naturally has to stay at the resort hotel arranged by the army and wait for the arms to arrive before he can escape.

Of course, Li Pan would not just stay there. As soon as he moved into the presidential suite, he threw off his formal clothes and let Xiao Hei look like himself and stay in the hotel. He directly turned on the invisible wall acceleration and hung up, easily getting rid of it. The Takamagahara ninja who followed him secretly slipped out to go shopping.

Well, let’s finish the secret agent mission from the Security Bureau first.

The meeting place was a local farmhouse, a hotel and inn owned by locals. It served as a backup safe house and intelligence point for the agents to entertain tourists.

According to the information sent by Yamazaki, the Security Bureau has notified the agents in Panama City to meet up. Anyway, try to catch as many as possible. If they can't make it by themselves, don't force them.

So Li Pan used 'container control' to adjust his height, appearance and weight, and transformed him into a brown-skinned mixed-race yellow-haired man, imitating Yamazaki Ayato's appearance before he was disfigured by the monster.

I bought a flashy casual shirt with white pants, sunglasses on my head, brogues on my feet, and a big gold watch in my hand. I dressed like a rooster full of hormones. I ordered Kyoto whiskey from the Yamazaki family distillery at the bar. He crossed his legs and sat at the door of the farmhouse hall. Put the bottle on the table and drink from it.

Well, not all spies are like this. They dress up to attract the undercover's attention, and then communicate with the secret code.

After sitting for a while, someone came to join us.

"Sir, it's rare for you to travel, why don't you have a cup of rum?"

Li Pan raised his eyes and looked at the big wave in front of him... The woman with wavy hair, she was a local, and she looked okay. She tied her open black and red plaid shirt into a knot on her chest, revealing her delicate waist.

She didn't hide it either. She had been getting drunk alone at the bar before, and now she was so drunk that she looked like he was making extra money.

Li Pan raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

"Give her a rum."

The robot wine brought her rum and added ice cubes and lemon.

After waiting for three minutes, a strong black man who looked like a lumberjack walked in. The muscles under the skin were unusually bulging, and they were obviously implanted with military bulletproof ceramics. This guy also came in advance and squatted outside for a while before entering.

"This is the place to drink tequila."

Li Pan knocked on the table,

The robot served another glass, along with a small dish of salt and lemon.

Then the three of them sat at the table and waited for ten minutes without saying a word.

"No? Just you two?"

Li Pan looked at the gloomy-looking men and women around him.

Big wave... Rum said,

"Some are lurking, some are injured, and it's not convenient for others to come here."

Tequila drank the tequila in the cup in one gulp and wiped his mouth.

"All my people are dead."

Li Pan shrugged and stood up.

"Okay, if you're in a hurry, the shuttle is at the airport and I'll take you off right away."

But Rum and Tequila looked at each other sullenly, and no one spoke or acted.

Li Pan raised his eyebrows, "What?"

Tequila just scowled.

Rum curved his lips and smiled,

"We have a traitor, either from our intelligence department or from their operations department."

Li Pan spread his hands,

"So?? Why do you still want to fight first?"

The two of them were silent.

Li Pan rolled his eyes, drew his gun and shot it on the table.

"Then you solve it quickly."

The two ignored Li Pan and continued to look at each other, as if they wanted to kill each other with their eyes.

Li Pan had no choice but to sit down.

"I said, please be patient and go to work. Aren't you going to be cheated by your colleagues today, betrayed by your boss tomorrow, let go by your customers at every turn, and there are hopeless stinkers everywhere?

Everyone is out to make money, who will talk to you about love? This is called the workplace. So just get used to being played by others. What's there to worry about?

Look on the bright side, although your General Administration only treats you as dead, there is still a colleague who thinks that you have the value of saving and is willing to ask me to help you, so why not be satisfied?

What's more, even if you escape to Gabro, Gabro may be captured by Takamagahara again in a few days. You won't be dead by then, so why rush it?

Be cooperative and at least let me complete the task, okay? "

Rum smiled at Li Pan,

"Tomorrow, as long as you wait until tomorrow, I will go with you."

Li Pan was puzzled.

"Why tomorrow?"

Agave scowled,

"Tomorrow, an independent action team will deliver a batch of goods into the city. Only our two group leaders know the time and place of the mission. If that batch of goods is ambushed, we will know who the traitor is."

Li Pan rolled his eyes,

"So what? It doesn't matter who is the traitor. Anyway, it's just the two of you confronting each other. If you kill the other side with one shot, won't it be over?"

Rum smiled and said,

"Yes, so you see, the General Administration gave up on us all."

And the agave sullenly sullen,

"Gabro believes that the secret may have been leaked through other channels. It is not uncommon for the higher-ups of the Security Bureau to be infiltrated. The important thing is to find out who the traitor is, how much has been leaked, and whether the follow-up plan should continue."

There was another detour, and Li Pan was so annoyed that he sat down and dragged his chin,

"What if Gao Tianyuan deliberately fails to check the goods and arranges for a traitor to continue to undercover Gabro? And even if he is found, doesn't he still not know who is undercover?"

Tequila snorted coldly,

"impossible."

Rum tasted the rum and said with a smile,

"It's a poison gas bomb. Once it enters the city, it will activate on its own. The nanorobots will spread the genetic virus throughout the city. Now Gao Tianyuan's entire 9th Division is in the city, so it's impossible to let it in."

Li Pan opened his chin.

"What the hell?"

Tequila snorted coldly,

"The fart gas bomb she's talking about is just a neutron torpedo. I personally removed it from the torpedo."

Li Pan, "Ah, ah?"

Rum shrugged.

“So you see, the intelligence and tasks we each receive are different, and the countermeasures forces for nuclear incidents and biochemical crises are also different.

Or maybe the bureau had already made preparations for the fall of Panama, so when the time comes, they will naturally know who the traitor is. "

Li Pan,

"Oh...no, it's not! Then it will still explode when the point is reached!"
