  Chapter 140 Performance
  Li Pan tested his physical fitness. His appearance has not changed now, but his internal organs have been completely reshaped and displaced. The meridians and air points in his body are almost replicas of Li Qingyun's template.

  Theoretically, this kind of body is the most correct Tao body that is most suitable for "Nine Yin Refining Form". The shackles of invisibility are also completely opened, and the upper limit of the skill and physical energy that Jiuyin Zhenqi can exert is no longer the intensity of Jiuyin four turns, but the strength of Jiuyin six turns.

  Of course, this is only theoretical. Even after Li Qingyun breaks through, he will continue to take pills and refine his energy to increase his cultivation to the peak.

  Li Pan didn't have the kind of skill and cultivation that Li Qingyun had, so it would be useless if he couldn't exert his full strength.

  Moreover, he had exhausted his flesh and blood and energy to form the 'Dragon Ball'. Li Pan felt that he was really weak, tired and hungry, not even a drop was left. Moreover, he could vaguely feel the pain from the transformation of his internal organs, and he slumped on the sofa for a long time without relief. Don't come.

  But no matter what, Li Pan has indeed lifted the restrictions of heaven and the shackles of practice. Every time he breathes, he can feel the continuous flow of true energy pouring into his meridians.

  It's like rain falls on the Tianhe River and the dam opens. The endless Qi is being released from the 'Dragon Pearl', flowing through the whole body, filling the Dantian Qi sea, filling the eight extraordinary meridians, and along the whole body Qi orifices, expanding the triple burner lungs. Moisturizing the dry wilderness.

  So it is indeed a breakthrough, there is no limit anymore. Now Li Pan can continue to use "Nine Yin Refining" to refine these infuriating energy for his own use, and like Li Qingyun, he can practice both life and life while breathing, sitting, standing and walking. Gas enhancement.

  Although such cultivation has been enhanced to the limit, it will definitely be incomparable with the authentic inner elixir immortal. I don't know if I can cheat like this in the 'Refining the God to Rejuvenate' level in the future. Moreover, when the 'dragon blood' is exhausted, this 'fake dragon ball' Probably we have to replace it with other monsters, but no matter what, we have reached the realm of 'refining qi and becoming a god'.

  To put it simply, even if Li Pan doesn't use a handkerchief to transform and only uses the "Nine Yin Divine Art" to protect his body, he can tear apart mechas with his hands and beat Xiaohang violently.

  In fact, Teacher Xian recorded this kind of external alchemy training method as a negative teaching material, and pointed out many, many shortcomings. Compared with the orthodox Taoist inner alchemy method, it has many shortcomings, including insufficient energy, insufficient strength, and insufficient method. Insufficient and backward in all aspects and dimensions.

  The Waidan cultivators are far from being able to compare with the most powerful Blood God Son technique at this stage. In a fight, they are not superior at all. They are outdated techniques that have been eliminated by immortal cultivators.

  But it doesn't matter!

  Li Pan, who grew up picking up rags, knows very well that it is not easy to survive if you get a handful of bad cards, so why are you so picky? Just tinker with the rags you picked up and use them!
  If you don’t have a princess life, then you don’t have a princess disease. Wouldn’t it be fun to compare yourself with those proud men who are the best in everything?
  Oh, you have to learn how to wear clothes, and you have to learn how to raise a dog. Then they also have yachts and airplanes. Can you afford them?

  People’s dogs don’t have to go to work and have air conditioners. Can you do that?
  Even Li Qingyun took drugs with his mouth open and took pills with his mouth closed. His sect sent him a collection of real questions about magic weapons, and his master and brothers went around to deliver magic skills and secrets to him. Do you have it?

  So what if it’s outdated, and what if it’s rubbish?
  The most important thing now is that Li Pan can cultivate and solve his own problems!
  Isn't the fighting method a match for the authentic Xuanmen Daozi? Damn it, where do you think you can fight with him in this lousy place like 0791?
  There are no tigers in the mountains, but the monkey is called the king, okay?

  In the world of the blind, one-eyed dragon! It's the king!
  What? You mean theistic religion? Ah, the cult is my younger brother. If you can't afford to offend him

  , just stay away... I originally wanted to lie down on the sofa for a while to relax, but the set alarm clock popped up and Li Pan also reacted.

  I almost forgot, Nana has a concert. Even if he didn't have sex, he would have to look for her to guide him when he ran away in the future, and he would definitely have to try to establish a relationship...

  So he had no choice but to change into casual clothes and jump out of the window for a date.

  But seriously, the concert is still going on?
  Well, it's really fun...

  After all, we cubs in the Night City are used to seeing life and death and enjoy themselves in the moment.

  Life is a rape, and if you can't resist, just enjoy it.

  When Li Pan arrived at Sakura Park, many people had already gathered. The suburbs were still devastated, but the corpses in the old capital area had been cleaned up by garbage cleaning robots.

  The rock band set up dozens of big speakers, DUANGDUANGDUANGHONGHONGHONG! The indiscriminate bombardment was like exploding thunder and artillery. The ground was shaking and people who didn't know thought it was another war.

  There was such a lively fight just now, so many people died, and then there was a music festival the next day. Are the people in the Night City so heartless?
  In fact, it's really not the case, because these are two completely different groups of people.

  If we say thugs like the Whirlpool Gang, they are eliminated by this cruel social system and cannot be tolerated by the world. They can only live in the garbage dump and linger in the cockroaches. It's hot and there's no air conditioning, so I can't surf the Internet, so I can only take drugs and have sex with Mewtwo, so I run out and riot.

  These people are the worker ants and worker bees who support the bottom of this society, the salaried house slaves and social workers, and the otakus and otakus on the QVN network. The company dormitory has two points and one line. Generally speaking, you will not go to places where the deviation value is too high and the public security is too poor to hang out with cockroaches.

  Because they have no money, no power, and are not favored by their 'owners', these people cannot even be called the company's dogs. They can only be regarded as the lowest social animals, herds sucked by the company's blood.

  After all, there are barriers to entry for big companies. New Tokyo University and Polytechnic University are the minimum, but most people do not have such high education. They are ordinary people who graduated from ordinary schools, served in ordinary infantry, and barely managed to obtain the lowest level of citizenship. In short, they are pure Just the working people.

  This group of talents is the mainstream of the 0791 world, with a monthly salary ranging from 2,500 to 10,000. Except for some self-employed people who open stores and social workers who work in small companies, most of them work part-time through the Internet. , doing part-time work, freelancing, zero-hour work, some kind of online anchor purchasing and paying for entertainment, there is no serious contract or company credit.

  To be honest, if it were not for the technical confidentiality required by the company's servers, most of the work these days could actually be done online on QVN, and work directly in the cloud and at home.

  For example, online companionship and NPC role-playing can provide hundreds of thousands of jobs. He also shoots various short videos. If someone from the sky comes to make a ranking, he will give away hundreds of thousands of direct wealth and freedom.

  So to put it bluntly, regardless of the lively fight in the real world last night, most people are actually working in the virtual warehouse... After all, ordinary people with a little monthly

  income and some family weaknesses, even if they commit suicide by drinking bullets or jumping off the building or subway , and they dare not jump out to resist the existing system.

  But now they are also offline after get off work.

  Because the riot was really big yesterday, and the riots escalated to rebellion. The Ninth Investigation Division of the Security Bureau and the Safety Supervision Gateway implemented speed limits and inspections on the network, conducted a search in the name of 'upgrading' all the systems, investigated the surveillance video, and carried out the entire process. Capture the rebels who caused trouble last night.

  Online games were also unavailable, live broadcasts were also restricted, and the IP addresses of adult websites on the Deep Web were blocked. Everyone had no entertainment activities, so they ran out to enjoy the cool weather.

  Li Pan, who was also familiar with the situation, went to fix the cold beer, and then ran over to jump in line alone.

  "Hey, why don't you hurry up and reincarnate...Oh shit! It's you bitch! How dare you appear in front of me!"

  Li Pan grabbed the other party's collar.

  If it hadn't been for the fact that he hadn't recovered from the elixir just now, and his hands were really weak, Li Pan would have wanted to rip off the head of the one-eyed dragon in front of him who had shot him three times, cheated him of another 1.4 million, and even joined his team. , thrown into the atmosphere and side by side with the Tokugawa family.

  Wangshan had no expression on his face and handed over a data card.

  Li Pan narrowed his eyes, "What are you doing? Reimburse me for medical expenses?"

  Wangshan rolled his eyes,
  "My resume, don't you have a factory hiring people? I'm here to apply for a security guard job. I can just open a job." A monthly salary of 100,000 yuan."

  Li Pan took a breath, "A monthly salary of 100,000 yuan!? Give it to me?"

  Wangshan stuffed the data card into Li Pan's jacket pocket.

  "Give it to me! I was fired from the team because of your bad things! Deleted files! My pension is gone! If you don't support me! Why don't I apply for a job in another company of yours!" Li

  Pan Sneered, "Oh, I understand. The Security Bureau treats you like toilet paper to wipe your butt. You throw it away after use. Now you have nothing to do with the three-headed dog or the Security Bureau. I was the one who found you. All the things , it was all arranged by me, so the hush fee of 100,000 a month is right! You can handle me, right?"

  Wangshan poured a glass of cold beer and stuffed it into his hand, "You can understand it this way, but we I'm not a beggar or a hooligan. I won't take your money for free. We can arrange things like warehouse management and security without asking you. By the way, it's not

  100,000 a month. It's 800,000 a month in total, per person. One hundred thousand."

  Li Pan was stunned and followed his line of sight. He saw three people occupying a table in the corner of the crowd. They didn't drink and were sitting there with a cold face.

  These three people are all thin, with heavy bags under their eyes, missing arms and legs, noses and eyeballs. They all look like severe Internet addicts who are malnourished and sell their organs. They are like addicts who are suffering from illness. They are very popular. Ge Tian even hid his hands in his coat, standing on tiptoes and looking around nervously.

  No, it's not like that, they are drug addicts, and even if you look at them, they look like homeless people, but anyone who has really seen that look can tell it at a glance.

  The eyes of these three people are like those of raptors or wild beasts. They look at the people around them with no life at all, just like looking at lumps of meat. They sit together without chatting, and their eyes don't even meet when they glance back and forth. , always maintain all-round vigilance.

  Yes, these are all retired veterans. Because they have been soaked in ecological cabins for many years and are connected to the front lines of other worlds to participate in wars, they seem to lack training.

  They were a group of people who had spent their whole lives doing dirty, backbreaking work for the Safety Committee, drinking stimulant-enhancing drugs like water, and when they got old and tired and couldn't do it anymore, they were replaced with military prosthetics and kicked. Forced retirement, drug addiction, military dogs that are thrown away after use.

  The veteran who lived to the end in obscurity left the army in obscurity, and then had to exchange his retirement allowance for drugs and alcohol, Black Mewtwo, and then died in obscurity in a pigeon house in a certain suburb.

  This is the life of an old dog.

  Being able to be picked up and reused by the three-headed dog is actually a shining retirement life for them, and they earn extra money, but now it seems that they have been kicked out by their owner again.

  "Eight? Your whole class has been dismissed?"

  Li Pan frowned and looked at their coats, wondering if they had hidden guns or grenades.

  Wangshan flexed his fingers and pointed at the two red dots illuminated by the laser sight on Li Pan's wine glass,
  "Special tactics support team, two groups of four sniper teams, drone helmsman, artillery, medical, and communications. Of course we can all do these jobs, and we can divide the work at any time according to the task content."

  Li Pan was curious, "It's so complete...but why aren't you qualified to be assaulters and engineers?"

  Wangshan sneered, "You're kidding, that's the branch with the highest death rate on the front line. There are a few who can survive until they retire, and the cannon fodder jobs these days are all done by androids."

  Li Pan, "..."

  It's only 800,000 yuan, and three people who accepted a prosthetic body that had been stripped of its equipment and were kicked out. Head Dog Team...

  Mader has made a lot of money from this business!
  Well, this is really something that the Security Bureau has figured out. Even if you know it's a poisonous apple, you still have to take the bait.

  Because Li Pan knew very well the value of such an elite force.

  You know, cyberpunk mercenaries can cost tens or even millions for a big mission! But are those mercenaries considered cunning in front of these three-headed dogs? It’s just a piece of shit, okay!

  Of course, these veterans have been lying in ecological cabins for a long time, fighting in other worlds until they are retired. Therefore, although they have technology and experience, they actually do not have such high-strength prosthetics. They are not so much mercenary killers with live ammunition. Rather, it is closer to a professional player in a gaming club.

  But obviously, due to work confidentiality regulations, they can no longer access the Internet after they retire, let alone connect to other worlds to serve as soldiers, so the army dares to kick these people out. Without guns, money, and equipment, they are nothing but a bunch of junkies.

  However, the veterans of the Three-Headed Dog Unit are somewhat different. Looking at the appearance of the car accident scene in Wangshan Mountain, we can see that although they are also retired from the border, they are obviously selected by the Three-Headed Dog. After being trained and transformed, they have served in 0791 for quite a long time. Over a long period of time, I have fought with Red Tengu with real swords and real guns, and I am no longer just an otaku who only knows how to play games in the virtual cabin.

  Li Pan looked at Wangshan, "Are you really just here to look at the warehouse? I mean, can you make money if you have extra money?" Wangshan

  also knew that the man in front of him who survived three shots from him was really a black and white man. Eat, the kind with hands and eyes that can reach the sky, he touched his chin in surprise and said,
  "According to the market price of mercenaries in reincarnation, but when we work for you, the team dispatch fee is waived, you reimburse the ammunition, and the salary is 10,000 per person per day. The basic bonus for completing the task is 100,000. Depending on the difficulty of the task, we may ask you to add additional bonuses. The pension is usually 1 million per person, of course, after tax."

  Li Pan calculated it and knew that he was the same as the three-headed dog . , unable to refuse the arrangements of the Security Bureau.

  I've done it for you, why don't you pay a price?
  So he accepted the chip and said,

  "Okay, but I also have a job interview here. Of course, I won't cheat you on the little test. We will sign a contract according to the market price and give you 300,000 yuan in team dispatch fees, ammunition reimbursement, and complete the mission. The bonus is one million. If you agree, be ready and report to the factory in three days."

  Wangshan clinked a beer glass with him, "Wish you a happy cooperation, BOSS."

  The two drank a toast, and the three-headed dogs were kicked out. Then he turned around and walked away, disappearing into the sea of ​​people like a gust of wind.

  I picked up a litter of wild dogs...

  But now I have to take out a loan to pay my salary, so it's okay...

  Li Pan shook his head and walked through the carnival crowd with a beer glass. I squeezed to the front desk and quickly found Nana Toyama who was preparing.

  "Hey! Broom head, you're here!"

  Nana Toyama hung out with a group of heavy metal punk-style rock musicians, all of whom wore black leather jackets, boots, and silver metal bracelets and nails and chains. There is also a drummer with eight prosthetic hands, who is even more exaggeratedly dressed than the Uzumaki Gang...wait a minute, this guy seems to be from the Uzumaki Gang, right? Oh, fuck these crazy people...

  But after all, this group of people still dress in the same style, but the weird thing is that Ogawa Nana is actually wearing that low-cut evening dress princess skirt. The white skirt looks like a rented wedding dress, and it is still semi-transparent. Yes, standing together with these monsters and monsters is like beauty and beast...

  "Huh? Is it really TRAPBEAST?"

  "Oh, you've heard of it, right? It just so happened that their lead singer had his throat cut, and the guitarist was shot and killed during a robbery. . The band was about to disband, but fortunately, when Nana and I saw the live broadcast, they invited us to join."

  What the hell is right about this... huh?

  Li Pan frowned and held Nana's hand.

  "What's wrong with your hand? It was clearly a high-end prosthesis from a casino before, right? Why did it change to a military one? Is it chrome-plated?"

  Nana was still the same, smiling carelessly,

  "Ah hahaha, I forgot to mention it to you, there has been a lot of commotion in the Night City recently, Samsara has also changed its boss, and my affiliated account has also been fired, haha! I

  worked for a month in vain, I didn’t receive my salary, and I also took my hand back. Ahaha! Although things are said to be fickle, why did I meet him again? Haha!
  Fortunately, the band lent me the guitarist's hand, so I can use it hahaha!"

  Li Pan was speechless for a while after hearing this. This girl ...Is your luck really a bit bad...

  "Hey, why don't you come with me?"

  Nana couldn't help but roll her eyes at him,
  "Can you stop wanting to have sex every time you see me! I'm very fond of you too. It's troublesome!"

  Li Pan said, "Huh? No, I mean..."

  "NANANANA! Come on!"

  The eight-handed drummer began to play the drums. The crowd started to party.

  Nana came up and slapped Li Pan, then pinched his face with her cold fingers,
  "We'll do it after the show!"

  Then she picked up the electric guitar and took Nana Ogawa's hand to join them on stage.

  Ogawa Nana was a little nervous at first, but under Nana's heartless smile, she gradually calmed down, responded with the same smile, and showed off her singing voice.

  Li Pan is actually not a person who understands music. He can't tell whether the headphones are hydroelectric or thermal, and his cultural literacy is basically limited to listening.

  Moreover, these years avatars, movies, animated songs all use cheap smart software to generate music styles. Occasionally, talented singers and composers appear. If they do not sign with a big company to obtain patent protection, their works will be quickly copied by smart software and become trashy. Short video background sound.

  That is to say, rock music, because it’s just wah wah wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, even the smart assistant doesn’t understand what the fuck is so good about it, so I can’t copy it for the time being.

  But I have to say, this 'N! TRAPBEAST! ''s work is indeed quite good.

  Ogawa Nana's voice is sweet and high, soft and stretched, like a skylark soaring high in the sky.

  Nana Toyama's voice is hoarse and lazy, like a scratching black cat.

  The chorus chords between the two people have a wonderful, weird and spiritual shock.

  And from time to time, Nana Toyama will be very crazy, and she will perform a solo that is intermittently convulsive and out of tune, as if she wants to vent the laughter in her heart, completely leading the entire stage.

  The other members of TRAPBEAST are even more amazingly talented musicians, and they can actually keep up with and coordinate with these two singers whose styles are completely different and whose rhythms are completely off-line and unpredictable.

  So I had never heard of this, I couldn’t understand it at all, but with the very nice high-pitched sound, the crowd gradually became excited, climaxed, and caroused!

  Even Li Pan couldn't help but join in the excitement, the shouting, and the carnival.

  "NANA! NANA!"

  "NANA! NANA!"

  "Gin-hand NANA!"

  "Gin-hand NANA!"

  (End of this chapter)
