Chapter 124:
When Li Pan was brushing his teeth in the bathroom, he leaned against the door frame and asked,
"If you spend 80 million at once, you'd better tell your secretary in advance, otherwise you'll have to wait until the tax bureau When asked, it was too late to give a confession."
"Ha--bah! Sorry. Let's just say it was a preliminary preparation for salvaging and cleaning up garbage at sea."
Li Pan looked at the mirror,
"It's not peaceful recently, and the treasure hunt under the sea has been postponed. You and Caizi will guard the factory first. It's safer because of the defensive fort.
Just survive these few days. If you want to form a family-hunting group, it's okay to make a cyber debut. In short, be mentally prepared and evacuate the earth at any time."
Orange After a moment of confusion, "Evacuate the Earth??"
Li Pan sent her the location of the hangar,
"Here, your ticket. You can also search for cruiser sailing tutorials online recently and practice first. I already have a navigator. Yes, but Takamagahara's ship is not intelligent and automated. I think the minimum crew needs ten to twenty people. Well, by the way,
among the cyber mercenaries, there are some who have experience in space operations. You can help me recruit a few. The monthly salary is one for an average employee. Ten thousand, backbone 20,000, you can do whatever you want."
Li Pan walked to the door and saw Cai Zi still moving shelves, and shouted,
"Hey Cai Zi! I'm going to return the car. Is there anything else you want to get from your apartment? Smelly underwear, bloody kitchen knives, etc.?"
Caiko, "Fake Squid!"
That's no more.
After working here for a while, it was almost dawn, and Li Pan went to work. Browsing through car buying websites, looking for a low-orbit shuttle suitable for emergency evacuation.
Well, he looked away. Mader 0791 is a place like this. It's like a fight between gods. The fluctuations in combat power are so ridiculous. On one side is a mortal, on the other side is a superman. Apostles are constantly fighting each other, and now they are flying all over the place, to the point of killing cadres instantly and tearing apart princes with their hands.
Is this game still playable? Slipping away, slipping away...
As soon as he entered the office, Li Pan felt a strange aura. An otherworldly energy of first contact is permeating the office area. It was like stepping into a quagmire, and my movements were slowed down.
A salty sea smell spreads in the mouth and nose, and the fish tank that has not been cleaned for several years exudes the smell of rotten plankton.
Li Pan frowned and walked to the door of the office. He saw a strange guy in formal clothes sitting on his general manager's throne with his feet on the table.
Li Pan knocked on the door twice.
"Please - come in -"
the man drawled and looked at Li Pan with a grin.
Well, he wasn't smiling, he had big fangs like a piranha that opened his lips. The human body was like an ill-fitting garment, stretched tightly over his head. So much so that his face was pulled out of shape, as if someone was dragging his scalp.
"007?" Li Pan stretched out his hand, "I am 0791001. Are you moving so fast? Where are the other three? Are they not here?" The
fanged monster did not get up, let alone shake hands, but raised his finger and shook it.
"Temporary worker, No. 1!"
Haha, this is what you do when you come up, right...
Li Pan then took back his hand and put it in his trouser pocket,
"What are you talking about? I can't hear you. I haven't eaten! Please speak louder!" "
A strong gust of fishy wind hit him, and the fanged man teleported in front of Li Pan. The man was actually half a head taller than him.
The weirdo with raised teeth approached Li Pan with his face close to his face,
"Lin! Shi! Gong..."
"Bang!"
Li Pan was not polite and punched him in the groin. The weirdo was also on guard and raised his arm to block Li Pan's blow. During the boxing session, the two competed for a while, and there was no winner or loser for a moment. The strength of both sides was about equal.
But Li Pan struck faster. If a punch missed, he would throw another punch. He raised his hand and struck the weirdo's ribs with two more punches. The bang was as if it was hit on an iron plate, but the opponent didn't move at all.
"Jie Jie!"
The fanged monster grinned, spitting out a breath of sea salt. He rushed over with his arms and held Li Pan in his arms and imprisoned him.
Naturally, Li Pan couldn't let him tie up his hands and feet with his strange strength, so he pushed his elbows against his chest to knock the strange man away, and quickly took two steps back to distance himself.
When the fanged monster saw Li Pan retreating and trying to escape, he bent his legs and jumped forward, swooping over like a frog.
Li Pan saw that the opponent's chest hit with his elbow did not hurt or even sway. This physical strength showed that he was at the level of an apostle, and his organizational structure was probably not the same as that of humans. To show respect, use all your strength, directly explode your energy, use your true energy to protect your body, and open up your stance!
"Really! Dragon! Break!"
A black tiger punch ripped out the heart and hit the weirdo in the chest!
Just hear a tearing sound! The weirdo's formal attire actually ran away on its own!
The weirdo suddenly tensed up and stretched out his muscles so hard that they actually grew bigger, breaking the skin on his body. The green hard skin was exposed from under the pink muscles, and he received a hard punch from Li Pan.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise! Li Pan punched with all his strength directly into the weirdo's abdominal muscles, his fist completely pierced in, and a burst of gray smoke came out of the wound.
"Ugh——!" The fanged monster was trembling all over after being hit by this punch. His mouth opened and his eyes exploded. His feet made two deep marks on the floor, but he managed to bear the punch!
Li Pan was also surprised, "Awesome! It seems that you are better than Zayu."
"Roar!"
Unexpectedly, this guy is really more than a little stronger!
Although he was forced to take a real dragon attack for a while, he still had fighting strength!
Supporting Li Pan, he punched her in the gut and couldn't pull his hand away. The tooth-picking weirdo folded his hands and broke Li Pan's left arm and elbow! At the same time, he opened his mouth and sprayed out a torrent of water! Shooting at Li Pan's face!
Thanks to Li Pan's Nine Yin Body Refining, at the critical moment, he shook the snake's waist and twisted it into an S shape. He avoided the weird man's spit. The spit cannon was like concentrated sulfuric acid, and the office was completely destroyed with a splash. Melt a ravine!
Seeing that the other party had also attacked, Li Pan also got really angry. His left hand was pulled by the strange force and he couldn't get away. He simply fell to the ground and slid a shovel, poked his foot and kicked the weirdo's ankle, breaking his ankle into a zigzag shape. .
Then the whole person made a snake-like turn, slipped under the weirdo, kicked the back of the knee, and slammed it to the ground. His forehead made a big hole on the floor, and he forcefully pulled the weirdo to the ground. And he turned over and grabbed the weirdo's neck.
"Haaah——!"
The weirdo was temporarily unbalanced and Li Pan was able to escape. He was even taken over and hanged. He didn't even beg for mercy. He roared and forced himself to stand up! And the body shape is getting bigger, harder and darker at a speed visible to the naked eye! It bursts out of the skin like a beep! It’s starting to get huge!
Holy shit! There is still a second stage! ? It’s endless, isn’t it?
Seeing this guy quickly growing in size, he shot up to the ceiling, and the floor of the company couldn't even support it.
Li Pan's face was condensed, his eyes were cold, and he kept doing nothing. He gathered the monkey sword energy with the knife in his hand, pulled it on the weirdo's neck, slit his throat with the knife in his hand, and tore off his head alive.
Yellow-green blood with a bit of odor sprayed all over the room.
The landline phone had to ring "Ding-ding-ding-ding!"
"Temade, you're alive now!"
Li Pan reset his broken arm, took out a first aid kit, inserted a few injections of anti-inflammatory suppositories, nutritional supplements, quick-acting protein, and nanorobots to repair the tendons, and then raised the receiver. ,
"Crooked!"
"0791001, I am General Manager 001 of 0213. My person seems to have died in your company. Do you understand the situation?" "
Wow, do I understand the situation... Oh -! It's your person - —! Hey! I thought it was some kind of monster running amok! I killed him easily! Misunderstanding, no! Good! Meaning! Thought! Ah!" Li
Pan gathered his strength and crushed the weirdo's head with his kick.
"...Misunderstanding? How could it be? Isn't he wearing formal clothes?"
"Hey, damn, you asked me how could it be possible? Did he say he was from the company? He was sitting on my chair, how could it be! My seat is Any idiot can sit down!?"
"Okay, I understand, I apologize for the behavior of temporary workers Yiyi."
Li Pan was silent for a moment,
"...What did you say? Is this a temporary worker? Yiyi One? Not 007?"
0213001 said,
"007 should still be cleared for customs inspection. The temporary worker one by one is a combat prosthetic driver, 007's common teammate and partner. The two have a certain relationship foundation. I also just found out about him. I smuggled myself to 0791 to provide assistance, and also used the bionic technology developed by our company's technology department to make an illegal combat prosthetic body. It was an oversight on my part that I didn't explain it to you in time. I'm sorry that such a
misunderstanding occurred." "
Oh. ..."
Li Pan looked at the brains on the soles of his shoes and rubbed them on the carpet,
"Since 0213 you said it was a misunderstanding and sincerely apologized, I won't go into details. Just be careful next time."
0213001 said,
"I will pay attention to the temporary workers who do not report in advance, misappropriate company assets, leak company technology, absent themselves from work and leave without permission. I will log in as an employee out of control and delete their files. In addition, I don't know who he is at the moment
. Which illegal human cloning laboratory was used to manufacture the prosthetic body? In order to avoid the risk of technology leakage, please assist in issuing an autopsy report. I have sent you the template. I will personally compensate you with one silver for this matter
. I'll give you the key. Is this solution acceptable?"
Li Pan said, "I'm not an unreasonable person, so let's do it this way."
0213001, "Thank you for your understanding."
After hanging up the phone, Li Pan turned to look. The body of this 0213 temporary worker.
Is this intentional or unintentional?
Although Li Pan might have had a misunderstanding, the other party also fought back, right?
That 0213007, he actually started so quickly, and he was still clearing the level. Here, the mazai, the prosthetics, and the under-the-table operations in the cloning laboratory were all done. It seems that he is really determined to win the position 0791.
Then the attitudes of the other people should be similar, right? They were probably all rushing to give him a blow...
Moreover, this 0213 general manager reacted so quickly and was so clean. He deleted the temporary worker as soon as he raised his hand without any evidence. Was he really ignorant?
Alas, these corporate bastards are so fond of intrigues and intrigues, it’s really a pain in the ass...
Come on, you all want to conquer the earth and be the Lord of Faces, so go ahead and do it yourself.
After casually taking photos and reporting, and paying off the debt of a silver key, the temporary workers turned into ashes one by one in front of Li Pan.
After calling the cleaners to wash the floor, Li Pan also lay down on the office chair and started surfing the Internet.
In view of the current increasingly collapsing situation and the increasingly fucked-up company's behavior, Li Panke has to make a careful calculation of his own calculations and at least study his own escape route.
He didn't want to be like that one one and one, being sold and paid for by others.
Well... the shuttle... can actually be rented temporarily, just like taking a taxi to work. After all, you can't expect those rich people to go to the airport and queue up to take public transportation and rail elevators, right?
However, the one-way fee is 3,000, which is not cost-effective. Moreover, the transportation vehicles of the rental company are linked to the transportation system and security system. In an emergency, there is no way to manually change the route. Illegal driving is not suitable for the kind of end-of-the-world full-screen blocking. When the airspace is banned, you need to pick up people to escape in an emergency.
So it’s better to buy one and modify it yourself, and if you want to pick up people to escape, you can’t buy a single-person escape cabin. You have to buy a slightly more luxurious one. If you squeeze it in, you have to buy at least a six-seater or seven-seater one, right?
Now Li Pan calculated with his fingers that the price is about three million. However, the shuttle can be installed in the reconnaissance ship's bay, so there is no need to buy another ship slot. It can also be used to commute to and from get off work, haul goods, and A girl, pick up a girl or something.
In addition, although the reconnaissance ship has arrived in the warehouse, it is simply an empty ship now. Other electronic equipment, weapons, systems, fuel, ammunition, star charts, license plates... all these things must be done, otherwise it will be too late.
And it’s not just about escaping to space. If you don’t have money to live in a space city, you have to at least find a space on a space station, right? Are they like the cosmic miners in the OP factory, who work as soon as they wake up and curl up in a coffin-like body bag to surf the Internet after finishing their work?
Oh, money...money...money, when will you be able to come to daddy's arms...
"Boss," Ah Qi knocked on the door, "The Emilia representative from the parliament came to visit." "
Oh, what are you afraid of? What... come on, come on."
Although K refused to say more to him, probably because he didn't want him to get involved anymore. But when Li Pan was connected to the elder Yulia before, he had already exchanged a wave of information in private.
Archduchess Camilla was assassinated in an organized attack.
Due to some obvious reasons, the Tower of Night was no longer safe, and the Grand Duchess also lost a lot of her personal guards and ran away with serious injuries.
As the leader of the camp and the ruler of the parliament, she naturally has the highest level of security. Only a few core members of the Aemilius family know her whereabouts.
But it happened that something went wrong again at this juncture. I don't know who took action and killed the Grand Duchess and her security team. As a result, the NCPA alarm system discovered something strange. It was said that a high-speed motor train derailed on the Night City Sightseeing Line. After an investigation, it was discovered that it was Ye's person.
Further investigation revealed that it was the Grand Duke's team, and the parliament was also blown up. Judging from the tragic scene of the fighting, the Grand Duke's heart was ripped out. It seemed that it was really the work of an old enemy, the wolf clan.
So Knight Commander Cornelius K, who had been calling werewolves in the council but was ignored, was immediately appointed by the elders to capture the werewolves.
I don't know if she is happy or not...
But Li Pan's current situation is quite embarrassing. Two princes died unexpectedly in a row, and they are all related to him. The Ye Group will definitely not let it go.
This is not a question of respect or disrespect anymore. Rabbit bites people when he is anxious. If he does something wrong, he must apologize. But if Monster Inc. stares at Ye Shi and beats him, he will fight to the death, okay?
He saw Emilia coming angrily. Li Pan immediately broke down, sat on the chair, and said directly,
"It's none of my business. Although I killed her guard and chopped her into two pieces, I really didn't kill the person. Who knows? , maybe it was a werewolf who did it."
Li Pan was about to hand over the werewolf maid's puppet to divert his attention, but who knew that Emilia was not here to talk to him about this at all.
She closed the office door, immediately changed her expression, and knelt down next to Li Pan. He said flatteringly,
"Manager, the council is in chaos now. Do you still remember our deal?"
"Hmm... um?"
Li Pan, who was pretending to be dead on the chair, immediately raised his head after hearing this,
"The Blood Holy Grail?"
" It's the Blood Holy Grail!"
Emilia was so excited that her chest was shaking. She removed a flesh-colored silicone patch from her chest, peeled off an encryption chip from the layer and handed it over,
"The Holy Grail is in Cornelius Castle until Before the new prince was elected, he was supposed to be guarded by my bodyguard, but now something happened to the Grand Duchess. I was removed from my position, relieved of the command of the Knights, and sent to a sinecure. But now the old dogs in the Parliament are fighting for power, and no
one The ruler is in charge, so naturally he has no time to change the guard password and password of the Holy Grail treasure house! This set of passwords is here, the 'Blood Holy Grail' is at your fingertips!" When he heard that the other party was really here to give away the Noble Phantasm, Li Pan's
eyes As soon as it lit up, he reached out to pick it up ,
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!" Emilia retracted her hand, "So you remember our agreement, right?" Li Pan nodded repeatedly, "Isn't it just that you can use the Holy Grail to relieve the sorrow of blood? . Not a problem!" Emilia's eyes flashed, "Yes, but it is not at this price now. In fact, we have investigated before. The several battles between your Monster Company and Takamagahara were just to compete for the Holy Grail, and they were also called 'bidding wars'. ', will you pay additional war reparations? I didn't expect that your company is so powerful. If you are serious, Ye Shi and Gao Tianyuan combined are no match for you, and we have been blinded. But from this point of view, in case , The matter of seizing the Holy Grail is revealed, so I can only guarantee peace of mind by joining you. So... I want to change jobs, and I will also take half of the Holy Grail bid." "Oh... interesting..." Li Pan looked Emilia up and down. Before the prince had even cooled down, he turned around and came to sell the Holy Grail. This woman was really greedy and greedy. He rushed to jump into the company's fire pit, which was really asking for his own death... But Li Pan didn't mind. It was about making money, not being shabby, and just going out to do business. He could sell anything, and the price could be negotiated. "Do you know how much the Holy Grail was originally sold for?" Emilia hesitated for a while, "Although I don't know the specific agreement and figures, your company seems to have successfully bid twice, and both of them directly led to new projects. Tokyo's devastating ground disaster caused a large number of buildings to be damaged and public areas to be rebuilt. The dedicated funds for the construction of the Pacific Development Zone alone will exceed 800 billion, so the entire scope of New Tokyo/Night City, even just To cover the losses caused by the bidding war, it must be on the trillions level." Li Pan clapped his hands, "Hey, then you dare to ask for half of it? One trillion, you can really afford it. "Eh? Hey, don't stick out your tongue. You can fool me, but you really think the tax bureau is a fool?" When Emilia heard this, she guessed that Li Pan was going to bargain, and he laughed, "Haha, Your Excellency, I am also in charge. I have been a knight of the family for a long time. I have done a lot of dirty work over the years to help the group gain a foothold in the City of Night. Now it is finally getting better. Unexpectedly, the backer has fallen. Those old guys are going to take the opportunity to raise their feet. He is going to kick me away, hehe, I have realized it a long time ago. Just don’t worry, I have a professional team that has been in business for a hundred years. It is absolutely trustworthy. It’s no problem to wash away a trillion." "Oh , There is a team, right..." Li Pan looked at her red lips and then looked at the freshly washed carpet over there. "What about washing two more trillions? Can you swallow it? Just tell me how much you can wash at most, and I will repay you." Emilia said, "???" No , you Everyone talks about prices at high prices, right? Emilia stopped beating her legs for a moment, fearing that the other party would turn against her and take advantage of her. Then Li Pan reassured her with his next words, "I will take half of the kickback." (End of Chapter)
