Chapter 23 Apology
But to be honest, too many people have died recently. Li Pan super doubled the lottery several times, but in the end they were all in vain, and he watched the prize pool updated to 500 million.
I'm restless... Do you want another super double?
No, forget it, Mad, this is the first day after the repayment date, and he is on the verge of bankruptcy again. He really has to find a way to make some money. It is really impossible to sell blood twice more, otherwise next month Unable to survive...
After settling the matter with the pastor, Li Pan continued to go to work. After all, the company used a car to drive out, so he had to go to the office to check in and sign in.
The field mission this time was "Monster Procurement", which means that the General Administration found traces of suspected monsters, went over to take a look, and then tried to find a way to get it. The lower the company funds used, the higher the evaluation.
Li Pan watched a short video sent by the company on the floating car. It was taken by a group of street gangsters. They claimed to have captured a biochemical weapon synthetic beast. It was a hairy monkey in an iron cage that could breathe fire, so he started socializing Selling on the platform.
After an analysis by the company, the report was written for dozens of pages, and various instruments were scanned and identified, and finally a conclusion was drawn.
That cage was not a monkey, but a human being.
Damn it, do people like these from the headquarters know how to mess around? It's a waste of my time to keep talking nonsense for so long... In short
, this is a malnourished child, and his vocal cords and skin were scraped off and glued together with strong glue. It's just a gangster's job to earn clicks.
However, the company's bizarre analysis was difficult because the data was limited and the recording and broadcasting equipment in the hands of the gangsters was too poor to support overly precise analysis. So I spent a long time and still couldn't figure out how this kid could breathe fire.
Li Pan didn't understand even after watching the video, especially because the gangsters specially shot a video to show the audience the hairy monkey's mouth. There was no built-in prosthetic transformation, nor any magic props or video editing methods. Probably the intelligence personnel of the head office did not I'm really bored. I've been watching videos and found something, or I haven't been able to analyze it after writing it for a long time. If I get into trouble with someone, I'll send someone to check it out on the spot.
Having just revealed something like this, Li Pan was too lazy to bother. He drove the floating car directly to the target location, opened the door and jumped out of the car. He fell from the sky and smashed through the slum where the gangsters were hiding. He raised his hand and said "Bang!" Gun...
"Ah! What! What's going on?"
The gangster was so frightened that he jumped up and looked at the crater beside him.
Well, it didn't hit twenty meters...
"Boom!" The crater exploded, directly smashing the gangster's head.
Dry! Forgot to change bullets! I wasted 150 yuan, so angry! !
"What! What a noise!"
"What fell down!"
"Is that a floating car!?"
Before the gangsters could react, Li Pan had already picked up a wrench and pounced on it, neatly. Start tearing people apart.
To be fair, Li Pan didn't want to make it so bloody, mainly because first, he couldn't shoot accurately without a ballistic coordinator, second, the magazine was full of level 5 bullets, which was heartbreaking, and third, many of these gangsters had My hands and feet were sold and replaced with mechanical prostheses, which are easy to disassemble and come off with just a twist.
So after a while, they broke the people into sticks. Li Pan looked around and found that the fire-breathing hairy monkey was locked in an iron cage and hung from the beam. He was watching the whole process. At this time, he covered his mouth and shrank into a ball. The look in his eyes was like looking at a ghost, and he was so frightened that he almost lost control.
Damn, you are more like a ghost than me, okay?
Oh, whatever, the monster containment is completed anyway.
So Li Pan moved the iron cage onto the floating car and returned to the office.
Shiba wrinkled his nose and said,
"Wow, what the hell is this? It stinks."
You know it stinks, but you still come up to take a look? They all sit in the office and have nothing to do.
"Contained monster, stay away from him. This guy is not in his right mind. Be careful he will burn you."
"Burn?"
"Well, you see, he will breathe fire when he has sex."
In fact, it is not a threat, because Those gangsters also took some containment measures, such as castrating the hairy monkey to prevent him from actively casting spells, and injecting drugs to stimulate sexual intercourse during normal performances.
The hairy monkey must have suffered a mental disorder after being groomed like this, so Li Pan pulled Shiba further away to avoid being scratched and infected with rabies or something. With her immunity, a scratch on her skin would probably kill her.
So Li Pan conveniently handed the tablet to Shiba to watch short videos, washed off the blood on his hands and sent a report to the company.
The fax was sent back after a while.
"What! What do you mean unfinished! I didn't spend a penny from you. I got everything back, so why haven't I finished it?"
Then the landline phone called to explain,
"In the monster procurement mission, the technical department needs to be appraised to confirm that the current human Technology cannot analyze it..."
"I can't analyze it!"
"We still need to analyze the rules and taboos of the monster, confirm the containment measures, and the report will be reviewed by the company..." "Why are
there so many bad things!?"
Li Pan was arguing with the landline phone, and Shiba came over with a tablet terminal.
"He's not a monster, he's a mutant."
"...What?"
Li Pan and Mao Houhou both turned to look at Shiba.
Shiba projected a bunch of information, including the family's social security information and account number.
"His name is Rama, and he probably mutated because his mother Freya signed a contract with the company, took some illegal drugs, and conducted illegal fetal experiments. The ethics committee closed down
the company, so the experiment was stopped. And his mother had no source of income and died due to side effects of drugs. Those gangsters went to collect debts and picked up Rama." Li Pan was curious, "
How did you find out about this?
" A bunch of codes were typed on the machine,
"Those gangsters' video accounts are very hacky. They even tried to steal Freya's medical insurance account at first, trying to defraud Rama's subsidy in the name of a relative. Well, that's it
. This is Tamura Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Freya used to work as a social worker here, and later received subsidies from here. Oh, how did she, a cleaner, get the pregnancy subsidy? It was an obvious operation, selling her children to the company They're just scumbag parents."
Li Pan looked at the information printed out by Shiba.
Tamura Koji, the president of Tamura Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and a doctoral supervisor at the New Tokyo University School of Medicine, was studying mitochondrial mutations, autonomous mutations and artificial hormone synthesis in the laboratory. He must have made some breakthroughs. When Takamagahara collapsed, he was banned by the ethics committee. Leading a raid, the entire team was kidnapped.
"Oh, Shiba did a good job."
"Humph, of course..."
"Uh-huh-ahh-ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."
The hairy monkey suddenly scratched the cage and screamed because his throat was cut by those gangsters. He screamed miserably. Tears welled up in his eyes, really like a monkey, howling miserably. I couldn’t understand what they were shouting, but they were probably mourning their miserable life.
Li Pan and Shiba looked at each other, scratched their heads, and squatted down in front of the cage.
This hairy monkey, oh, Rama, if it is an android, it is certainly not a monster.
"Hey, Rama, you are acting like this. If you are let out, you will be treated as a pest by the NCPA. Why don't you just join our company? Maybe you can go back and restart your life?" "Ahhhh -
ahhh Ahhh——!!"
Rama was still breaking down and crying.
Li Pan shrugged and turned to look at Shiba, "How about you come to persuade me? Maybe you have a common language?"
Shiba rolled his eyes, "Where did we come from a common language! Is it C language!"
At this time, someone aside The door of the office opened, and a well-dressed OL in stockings walked out. There was a polite smile on her face that was originally covered in heavy foundation. But in the blink of an eye, she saw the howling 'monster' in the cage and gasped. With a breath of cold air, Duoduoduo stepped on high heels and ran away.
Ah Qi came out of the office, shook her head at Li Pan, and typed on the tablet in her hand. She must have adjusted it for him at Shiba. The tablet automatically played electronic music.
"I think the probation period is too long."
Oh, it's really difficult. I can only take advantage of the school recruitment period to fool some new people...
Li Pan took a look, forget it, if it's not a monster, then it's not, so the case is closed. , after finishing the onboarding process for the new employees in the logistics department, it is almost time to get off work,
"Then I don't care, Aqi, Shiba, I leave it to you, persuade this kid, get him to join the team, if you really don't want to... just Forget it."
Shiba let out a "hum", then held the tablet and started swiping again.
Aqi looked at Rama, who was still crying in the cage, and typed,
"Do you want some coffee?" '
Fortunately, there is finally some good news today. Akiyama Masako sent a message and asked him to meet at the high-end restaurant 'Izumoya' in Yoshihara, Kabukicho, the old capital district.
Li Pan checked online and found that, good guy, the per capita consumption is 8,000! Hey, I worked my ass off for three months and it’s not even enough for you! Moreover, in a place like Kabukicho, where the second generation of the Zaibatsu family comes and goes, you must make an online reservation to enter. You may not even be able to enter Yoshiwara's gate with just a broken headset!
You have to go in even if you can’t get in!
Now that Li Pan is on the verge of bankruptcy, he really can't survive without getting some money from the Qiu Shan family to make ends meet.
So he had no choice but to install another chip just for the ticket.
This time he learned that if he could not afford any level 4 technology, he could just build a level 3 civilian chip.
In order to save points, I still choose products from HT Technology. This time it is the third-level civilian chip Fuxi 13PRO, the price is 8888, and a ballistic coordination processor, the second one is 20% off, 4000, a total of 12888!
Last time, the company's interest-free loan limit was exhausted, so we could only use low-interest loans with an annual interest rate of 3%, which translates into monthly repayments of more than 1,000...
Oh, it's so difficult, life, so difficult...
Old Yoshiwara Street, Kabukicho, Miyako District, is one of the most prosperous areas in the Night City.
This has been the official franchised red light district Hualiu Street since ancient times. In the past, Yoshihara surrounded a plain and built a village specifically for the residence of traveling oirans. It was only open at night.
Today's consumerist generation naturally doesn't pay attention to that. The entire Kabukicho is open 24 hours a day, with various super high-end clubs and hotels, and supercars entering and exiting.
But when it comes to Kabukicho's top location, it is naturally the old Yoshiwara Street. This is truly the most high-end place with the highest level of security and is directly under the security bureau stationed at all times. Therefore, when the other party proposed to meet here, they chose a place. The safest area shows the sincerity of peace talks and no intention to use force.
Li Pan has also heard of Yoshihara's name for a long time. When Thirteenth New Tokyo was the most prosperous, there were various carnivals and dances here every night, and every high-end club on the street held various activities to compete for the title of Yoshihara Oiran for the leading actress. .
However, he could only watch the broadcast on the Internet, and like most Oriental companies in this city, the situation changed with the collapse of Takamagahara. The new ruling class of the Night City, after all, was drinking people Bloody, I really can't get used to the chewing wine of courtesans.
So although today's Yoshiwara is still prosperous, it is becoming increasingly desolate. The customers coming and going are rapidly downgraded, leaving only a few tourists and old men who have retired and lost their power. Compared with the grand scene of the past, it is much cooler.
So after the surgery, Li Pan bought some bullets and only had more than 200 yuan for food in his pocket. He took the subway directly and walked calmly into the private room of Izumoya under the guidance of the robot geisha. Akiyama Masako, dressed in gorgeous clothes, was already waiting for him in the box.
As expected of a well-known lady, Yamato Nadeshiko. Today she is wearing a kimono for formal social occasions, which is a so-called Oriental dress. The entire dress is an elegant white tone, and the skirt is embroidered with plum blossom patterns. It is also decorated with silver thread and embroidered with the papaya pattern given to the Akiyama family by Takamagahara. Obviously, the latter still considers himself a descendant of the Oda clan.
Other information Li Pan glanced over and couldn't find any more information. He used to read enthusiastic netizens who said that when the kimono was convenient for use, he untied it and spread it on the floor with sheets or something. Now he looked at the layers one by one. It's true, it's actually quite complicated to take it off.
"Mr. Li is very busy. He hasn't changed his clothes yet. Are you still working overtime at this late hour?"
Akiyama Masako glanced over and saw that Li Pan was still wearing the same formal clothes and had not taken care of them at all. Moreover, as soon as the other party entered the door, he was wearing The male aura mixed with blood, dust, gunpowder, and the strong smell of sweat hit her face, and he stared at her whole body with stern eyes, which made her cheeks turn red.
Li Pan also noticed that the other party looked unwell, but there was nothing he could do about it. He had been up and down the sword mountain and the sea of fire in the past two days. It was true that he had not taken a shower and there was a smell, but he only had such a formal suit and could only wipe it with a wet tissue...
ah ! Damn it! Speaking of which, the formal suit he rented has never been returned! Moreover, the treatment was broken long ago, and it was so miserable that he had to lose money again...
So Li Pan was particularly unhappy and said,
"Mrs. Qiu Shan, everyone is just trying to make ends meet. There is no need to do this for nothing. There is no need to talk more. , let’s get straight to the point, where are the company’s things.”
Masako Akiyama bowed from his seat,
“I’m sorry that the Akiyama family has caused losses to your company, but please allow some more time. I will definitely try to recover the lost property and make up for your company’s losses. ."
Li Pan was not surprised at all, not to mention that even if the other party searched through the Tokyo sewers, it would be impossible to recover the company's 'losses'. Of course, he still yelled in a long voice,
"What——?? Compensation? ? Why, the things haven’t come back yet, right! Husband! You don’t want the Akiyama family to be a river of blood! I personally visited your home, haven’t I given you enough face? Don’t make it too difficult for me!”
Akiyama Masako was silent for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and nodded,
"I understand. When I come here today, I am prepared to pay the price." "
Oh, really? That's good. How much are you prepared to pay? cost?"
In fact, Li Pan's requirements are not very high, as long as he has 310,000 to repay the loan, he will be satisfied.
Then Masako Akiyama raised his head, took a serious look at Li Pan, blushed, pulled out the hairpin on his hair, untied his kimono, and it was like a candid meeting in a private Marseille.
"Red bean paste private Marseille! I dare not hide it. This time it was really my little girl who was stupid for a moment and was deceived by others and caused trouble! It's all because I didn't discipline her well. As long as you let her go, I'm willing to do anything. !
But to be honest, the Akiyama family's capital turnover has been somewhat difficult in recent years. My father is still in the hospital, my husband is away from home, Ayako still has a college loan, and the management of the dojo has become increasingly difficult. Moreover, the settlement day has just passed, and I am indeed short of money
. It's quite tight, so I really can't give you a decent gift. If possible, please give me a few more days. You can punish me in any way you want with this body." Oh, this is what it is, the legendary secret of a bare-butt apology
. Right? Does your Children's Palace have a special tutoring class for Dogeza? You have practiced and so on, and your movements are so proficient. However, it turns out that you are really wearing nothing underneath. The enthusiastic netizens must not deceive me... "No! Don't be kidding me
. Oh!! Who are you looking down on! Why are you stripping naked! Why do you think you are Yoshiwara's doctor! I don't have a warehouse! You just want to get even after sleeping! How can there be such a good thing in the world!"
Li Pan was furious, and suddenly grasped the key point keenly,
"Okay! You invited me over, didn't you even pay for the meal?"
"No! I don't dare! These are the most basic etiquette, and I also went out of my way to I asked my friends to arrange it, and I have made proper preparations to entertain you!"
Masako Akiyama clapped her hands, and the robot kabuki in the side room opened the side door and filed in to start serving food. All kinds of raw sea bream, seafood, rare birds and exotic animals are all natural. Mader is really worth a lot of money these days.
And Masako tucked her messy hair behind her ears, put on a smile, crawled over with her legs, and knelt at Li Pan's feet, "
Manager, please don't get angry. I don't dare to be an enemy of your company. I will never do it." I just want to ask you to take care of me and give me a few more days of grace. You have been working hard for a day. To show your sincerity, please let me pour the wine for you. After that, you can beat me or scold me... It's up to you... ..."
Li Pan was about to reject her righteously, but as soon as he lowered his head, Masako had already hooked it up to his... waistband, and glanced at his... belt with an eye-catching look. He couldn't help but tremble!
At this moment, I suddenly felt a burst of heat burning violently in my Dantian! And once again, he ran uphill and fought with the ice breath in his heart! Suddenly, the spinal cord all over his body felt as hot as boiling oil, and at the same time, his tongue felt as cold as borneol, and there seemed to be a strong air current churning in his belly!
Hiss -
Is this how the serious "Nine Yin Manual" is practiced?
"Ahem, let's have a drink to soothe your throat."
Then Li Pan also took off his formal clothes and sat down.
