Chapter 91 Attendance
So Li Pan went to the Prosthesis Human Body Maintenance Center in the heart of the city. In addition to replacing the prosthetic eyes, this time he also checked his physical condition.
Now that his skin has almost grown, the problem is not serious, but the color is still darker and lighter, and some blood scabs have not completely fallen off, which does not look good, so I only replaced a few pieces of ceramic that were damaged by bullets. Armor.
Medical technology these days is indeed very advanced. For full-body plastic surgery, any plug-in can be replaced. Eyeballs such as prosthetic retinas can be replaced at will. As long as you are willing to spend money and keep it properly, the replaced organs can be used at any time. Change it back.
In order to match the performance of this level 6 prosthetic eye, Li Pan also specially purchased TCA/OCA, a core-enhanced brain implant in the temporal and occipital lobes.
For temporal lobe core enhancement, you can use cheaper level 4 products and load an ECCM electronic interference countermeasures unit. However, the level 4 visual aid in the occipital lobe area is not enough. After all, this prosthetic eye is not only as simple as visual enhancement and projection, but also has a built-in MMTCPR micro moving target compressed pulse radar, which is usually installed on armed drones and smart phones. The one on the missile can be regarded as an independent innovation if it can be stuffed into your eyeballs.
So Li Pan gritted his teeth and enrolled in GEN Gene Revolution's Occipital Core Augmentation, a five-level occipital lobe core enhancement model that specializes in converting radar and visual signals and processing MMTCPR data. Fortunately, his Fuxi 15 is also a level 5 chip, and its computing power and memory can barely support the operation of these high-end equipment, so there is no need to replace it with a new one for the time being.
This level four ECCM counter unit is only 48,888, but GEN's level five OCA is very valuable, costing 688,888, and more. After all, GEN's plug-ins are generally allocated to starship pilots and link to fleet levels. It is used for radar, so it is necessary to conduct special debugging for the special products of Smart Optics, and then download a software update package from the GEN official website. The most basic and cheapest service, which specifies a radar alone, is also worth 125,000.
Li Pan originally wanted to buy some other things. For example, there are temporal lobe enhancements commonly used by dogs in sales companies, which can increase social skills and emotional intelligence. There are also special effects that emit specific hormones to enhance charm and eloquent speech, whether it is trading or buying. Even picking up girls in nightclubs is always a success.
However, after looking around, I found that those TCAs easily cost more than ten or two hundred thousand yuan, and they also come with other paid plug-ins. They were really too expensive, and the price of the set in front of me was already 860,000 yuan. He also secretly said, "I'm still good." It's too poor. Most people can't afford the support components of level six prosthetics...
But let's talk about it. In the world of cyberpunk, what stands out is that you get what you pay for.
Li Pan changed his eyes and found that the world was so clear. Once he focused, he could clearly see the couple having sex standing by the window in the skyscraper. All kinds of messy advertising lights and light and shadow special effects can be deleted and filtered. Just like the Xingtian chip, it is a top-notch prosthetic eye that resists optical interference and can even track some optical invisible devices.
And when he activated the prosthetic eye radar, the effect of the dynamic capture radar became even more intuitive. The specific models and dynamic trajectories of the floating ships flying all over the sky could be clearly captured and observed. With the visual enhancement of the operating OCA occipital lobe, The lines of the fly's wings can be clearly captured.
Tsk tsk, no wonder the one-eyed dragon was able to fight him at a 50-50 fight, and even the projectiles exploded by the gravity hammer could be cut open with a knife. He could really see clearly. This thing is more powerful than the 'mind's eye' too much.
After blinking and adapting, Li Pan turned off the radar. Although this function is useful, OCA needs to be activated every time it is enabled, which consumes the GEN nanorobot. After using it, a refill only costs five digits. I really can't afford it. It's just something like a luxury and a big move when you're desperate.
After visiting the prosthetics store and looking around, Li Pan went to the JYHAD EQUIPMENT jihad equipment weapons store.
In the past, Li Pan bought homemade firearms and bullets from gangster stalls in the slums. Now that he has money, he naturally upgrades his consumption to genuine stores.
Of course, Li Pan is not short of equipment, but speaking of it, the 'Black Kite 91' and the Sword of Saint Catherine in his hands are both gifts from K. Of course, you need to take special care of it. What if it gets broken and makes people angry?
So after some recommendations from the salesperson, Li Pan took care of the two gifts and bought sword maintenance oil and an adsorption-type rechargeable scabbard. The scabbard itself is a battery for charging technical thermal swords. The Sword of Catherine is mounted in a scabbard, which can be inserted into a belt or carried in a prosthetic interface, and can also be used to charge equipment.
The 'Black Kite 91' has also been further upgraded and maintained. The gun body is shock-absorbed, and the grip and barrel have been replaced with the latest fifth-grade products. For ballistic coordination, a gunsmith has been asked to make fine adjustments, making it even more convenient. It's considered a level four and a half weapon. Add some level 5 and level 4 ammunition, and this set will cost another 40,000 yuan.
Li Pan also had a great time shopping. When he went out, he saw a motorcycle shop again, so he went in and shopped twice more. After a lot of effort, he shouted, "I still have 160 million to earn." !" Escaped and suppressed the thought of riding away.
After all, this consumerist society is characterized by overflowing materialism. Even if personal desires and entertainment activities are not taken into account, there are too many things to consider, including various prosthetic implants, enhancements, hot and cold. Weapons, special ammunition, intelligent robots, bionics, clones, synthetic beasts, SBS, SMS, starships.
The money is really not enough.
Alas, in the past, everyone still relied on hard work and skills, but now when fighting, they are essentially throwing money at each other... Forget it, let's just make money by working with
gangs.
But tonight seemed to be Christmas Eve. Li Pan stared at the news and the NCPA police alert system for a long time, but there was no large-scale gunfight anywhere.
Strange... Logically speaking, it wouldn't be so peaceful?
Not to mention that a large batch of arms was lost last night, but now that the head of the young master of the Dongcheng Society has been handed over, and the reward system has also been announced, doesn't the Dongcheng Society react at all?
And K hasn’t contacted him yet? Didn't we agree to kill werewolves together? Do you really not care about a nest as big as the Opera House?
And Sky City didn’t respond? According to the information from Shibacha, Yamazaki and the ACA people may still be in the city. What kind of party is this? The party hasn't even finished in one day?
The Security Committee has also been strangely quiet recently. Jin Yaohui's report Li Pan has been sent to the three agencies, but the other party has taken no measures at all. The serial female suicide case that caused a lot of fuss before is not even in the news now. Let me just mention it, is it a bit unreasonable?
Seriously, what is going on? What are you waiting for? Li Pan did not hesitate to spend 900,000 yuan to update all his equipment, just to cope with the war that might happen at any time, and he was ready to take advantage of the situation and join the zero-dollar purchase!
Is it possible that you are all waiting for the loan settlement and are not in the mood to fight? ?
Li Pan was really confused, but nothing major happened in Night Capital tonight.
Since he had a lot of cases on his own and it was hard to take the initiative to cause trouble, Li Pan didn't plan to wait outside for the cold wind to blow.
Considering that the apartment in the suburbs was a bit far away, Li Pan simply went to the 'Haunted House Apartment' in the commuting area to spend the night.
Anyway, if there are any wild "sheets" causing trouble, just catch them over there and whip them out to Teacher Xian.
So Li Pan turned a blind eye that night, monitoring the NCPA alarm and practicing meditation.
Well, Li Qingyun is still here...
But Li Qingyun has become stronger again. This Li Pan's idle account in the virtual star sea in the other world does not have to go to work, nor does he need to think about making money. He just reads, reads and exercises every day. Refining Qi, frying fish and washing pots, concentrating on practicing in seclusion, practicing and polishing various magical secrets, life is leisurely and contented, and it becomes bigger and stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye, referring to the real body... For example, Li Qingyun
now He no longer uses his palms to fry fish. He has mastered the magical power of "walking rocks, flying sand, turning rivers and seas" in "Nine Yin Dafa". He does not need to use his hands at all. He can show his prototype and spray out a squirt of water to sweep the fish monster into pieces. It's broken.
And not only can it be transformed into the body of the candle dragon and nine yins, and it can control the water and make waves, but once Li Qingyun starts to perform the method, he can also turn the virtual stars, sea, waves, black water, and the sky into his true body. A black dragon with a length of a hundred feet, covering the sky and the earth, with the head of a human and the body of a snake, travels between the sky and the earth, goes up to the sky and into the sea, rides the wind and the clouds, it is so happy, it is much more exciting than riding a motorcycle.
However, Li Qingyun's mana is now limited, so this ultimate move can only be used for a quarter of the time before it returns to its original form. He has to take a small pill to replenish the lost energy. And now he still doesn't know how to make alchemy, draw talismans, and make instruments, and he is actually learning arithmetic. I don't know what he is doing... Anyway, if you look
carefully, Li Qingyun's side is actually quite boring. He just practices, upgrades, and does after-school exercises. Nothing much. Said. It's enough for Li Pan to refresh his memory once in a while. Anyway, the difference in strength between the two sides is too big now, and Li Pan can't use any of the moves Li Qingyun learned.
Li Pan woke up on his own after using the Zhulong Dao Body to drive for a while. He didn't help clean the pot...
"Citizen Li Pan, this period's salary of 22,000 has been received, and the debt is being repaid. The loan should be repaid 8291.43 , do you want to repay the loan in advance?"
A 300,000-yuan student loan? Who will repay the interest-free loan? I lent you money for nothing. The inflation rate in the world is 3%, okay? You owe it now!
"Confirm not to repay the loan in advance, please select the loan repayment item in the next period, and the account settlement is completed. The
current account cash is 1,117,169.06, the loan to be repaid in the next period is 13542.37, and the total liability is 29XXXX.XX.
Your next debt will be on the 15th of the following month The settlement is due on the same day, thank you for using the public safety system, and wish you all the best."
Well, the loan repayment has increased by 5,000 yuan. In addition to the 2,000 yuan monthly rent for the apartment in the bed sheet haunted house, there is also the emperor's 620 car and boat tax transportation fee. In addition, in the past month, my appetite has grown and I have eaten a little more...
Looking at Panlong Construction, in addition to the previous calculations, more than 300,000 yuan was deducted from the account.
Because I bought a factory, according to the contract, water and electricity are provided, as well as garbage disposal, sewage treatment and fire safety. The first public service fee is almost 300,000. From now on, it will be settled every quarter according to the fluctuation of production and electricity consumption. The tax bureau will also come at the end of the year. Check the accounts.
However, in view of the current large-scale development, there are still certain tax rebates and subsidies for sites in industrial zones. In addition, Panlong Construction is an enterprise invested by Yeshi Bank, so there will be certain tax-free support in the short term, and there will be no need to pay business tax within one or two years.
Even if you don't plan to go bankrupt and reorganize when it expires and continue to evade taxes, the annual tax rate will only be 6 to 10 points, depending on what you produce.
It sounds good, right, but considering the Uzumaki Gang and the NCPA regional branch that are trying to get cards just around the corner, the hidden losses here are huge.
In addition, as mentioned earlier, the "consumption tax" dropped by ten points under the economic recovery policy, and the companies under Ye's Group were frantically selling goods from other countries. 0791 The overall manufacturing industry was suppressed to the point where it was almost breathless. Basically, production Nothing could be sold, orders plummeted, and many went bankrupt. Basically, if you just do business honestly, you will lose everything.
But how can I put it, although the local enterprises in the Night City have been severely suppressed by the cosmic people, isn't the current scale of Gao Tianyuan also relying on previous multiverse wars and plundering from other earths?
This is how the economic curve has its ups and downs. Ever since Ninth New Tokyo embarked on foreign wars, there have always been times when it lost everything. Now it's just that the wind and water have turned, and the wheel of history has rolled over this generation to pay off its debts.
Of course, Panlong Construction is just an empty shell used to launder money and buy goods. Li Pan doesn't care much about profits and losses, so he leaves it to Orange to take care of it. Nowadays, civilian technology does not need to pay patent fees. He can just get some blueprints online, and there are also ready-made machine tools. Just recruit a few people to start the work, fill up the warehouse to hide the arms, and then slowly ship out the goods to get the flow of water running.
As the saying goes, the hardest thing is always your first million.
In this way, Li Pan went to the company again to fish, but there was still no news from the three guys in the business department. However, Lao Liu came early in the morning. He was actually teaching Lama how to box. The two of them had been used by Li Pan to beat the sheets before. practice martial arts in the warehouse.
Lao Liu also moved some boxing robots, sandbags, wooden stakes, etc. It seems that he plans to transform this place into a martial arts practice room.
However, what he is teaching now is not Bajiquan, but only some of the most basic Changquan routines. Rama also has the company's fourth-level prosthetic modification, so there is no need to start practicing basic skills from Zhanzhuang Zhamabu. Lao Liu does it over and over again, and he Just follow and learn.
Although his comprehension is indeed not very good, even after Li Pan learned a set, he still can't remember it. However, Rama is not too ambitious. He takes it seriously and studies it wholeheartedly. He is quite diligent.
Seeing that Lao Liu was quite satisfied with Rama's disciple and was very serious when giving instructions, Li Pan stopped stealing from him. After all, he had memorized the moves of Bajiquan after watching the competition. Although he didn't have the knack of inner strength, There will be deviations in the shots, but with his current level 5 physique, he can hit with three punches and two elbows, and the lethality is not much different.
Back in the office, Aqi brought coffee,
"Boss, 'Bottle' started barking again. Do you want to take a look?"
"Are you calling for trouble again? It was probably Rama who was beaten while practicing boxing. As long as he doesn't Don't worry about the split."
After sending Ah Qi away, Li Pan stretched, drank coffee and flipped through the faxes, trying to find any tasks that could earn him 100 million.
Then jingle bell, the landline rang.
"Crooked? Who is it?"
The landline said, "I am Li Pan, general manager of 0791001."
Li Pan said, "Oh, you are here again, what are you doing?"
The landline said, "The City of Night has entered the fourteenth countdown to destruction. I There are still two hours to prevent the disaster, or to 'turn off the lights in the warehouse' and 'delete the files' of all Monster Company employees."
Li Pan, "Oh shit?"
Before Li Pan put down the phone, the phone rang again. Gotta ring.
The landline asked, "Do you want to answer the call from the business department of the head office?"
Li Pan said, "Jie Jie Jie!"
The phone beeped, and a female voice came from the other end,
"0791001, this is the business department of branch 01. Cadre, 01044.
The Human Resources Department has confirmed the latest report of 0791036, confirming that the 'Golden Buddha' lost control six hours ago and is in progress.
Dispatched by the manager of this department, I am responsible for this business trip to provide business support to your company and require the manager's entry Permission."
Li Pan was speechless for a while,
"What? He lost control six hours ago, and he called me now? And 0791036? Why did he skip me to report to you?"
The female voice was silent for a while,
"Every day when I go to work, the daily report/spiritual echo will be updated. The first thing the HR department does is to confirm the status of each employee through the daily report... Why, you still don't even know how to use the daily report? Li
Panhan , "Oh yes...ahem! Me, of course I will use it! I was just joking to lighten the mood! The female voice
was silent for a while,
"My mission this time does not include preventing the 'Golden Buddha' from coming. 0791 If you can't handle it, please apply for support." "
Li Pan was anxious,
"Hey! I can't handle anything! You come! Let you see if I can handle it... Wait, you don't care about the 'Golden Buddha'? So why are you on a business trip? "
01044 said,
"Capture the ACA collector. "
Then the person on the other side hung up the phone, probably because he got permission.
Li Pan was also scratching his head. Now he has developed the habit of using QVN to communicate at any time. He really couldn't remember that he could call the landline to check the daily newspaper. He was about to dial 0791036, confirming the situation at Yamazaki, ding, another call came in.
Landline, "Call from Security Bureau 3, do you answer the call?" "
Li Pan," Jie Jie! "
As soon as I turned around, Uncle Chen yelled on the other side of the phone,
"What have you done!"
Li Pan swallowed, "What are you asking about? " "
Uncle Chen took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, "Sky City! "
Li Pan breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, that's none of my business. It was ACA that messed up. You know, collectors, it's useless to give them a chance..." Uncle Chen roared, "I don't care about
your company's failure. thing! If Sky City is smashed down, I will do anything to you! "
What? Smash it down?
Li Pan quickly walked to the window with the phone in his arms and took a look. Fortunately, the company was high enough, and he actually saw it. A castle in the sky on the horizon was breaking through the clouds, wrapped in fire clouds, and slowly approaching the heart of the capital. It was obviously already there. It's off track.
Wai Ri, awesome, just drop a city. This one is so close. Even if it is blown to pieces, the City of Night is enough to drink a pot.
Are there still two hours to save the City of Night...
Ding ding ding.
Li Pan, “Ah Jie Jie Jie! "
This time it was Feng Mo Xiaotaro,
"Boss, I have an old acquaintance of mine who is interested in joining the company. Please let me introduce him. I would like to meet you and have a casual meal with you. What do you think?
Li Pan was so angry that he said, "
Hey!" When is it time for Dunima to eat? Didn’t you see that Sky City has fallen down? You haven’t come back to help yet! ? "
Sealing Demon Kotaro smiled and said,
"I see. It's a pity that I'm currently in Bozhou, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in time to help.
" Banshu? " Himeji Castle? Depend on! That night! In the City of Night, please make an appointment. I’ve already agreed that I won’t pay!
"Yes, I will help you prosper in martial arts. "
Li Pan hung up the phone and said,
"Everyone! " Out in the field! After the fight, we have dinner together tonight! ”
