Chapter 23 Life on the Road
Late at night, No. 408, Building 2, Sageta Technology Industrial Park, Yunjin Road, Puluo District, Yin City.
This is a single-family three-story building in antique style, with white walls and green tiles on the outside, carved beams and painted beams, and classical, elegant and antique furnishings on the inside.
Li Sheng was sitting in the office on the third floor, looking out the window.
In a few hours, he followed Chang Sun Yao and visited many branches of the organization in Yin City.
The solution provided by Prometheus does not provide a complete cure option. The conditions given by other organizations are also very similar.
Derek Acheson, director of scientific research at Gen-Sys Biotechnology Company, said that their latest gene inhibitor is certain to extend Li Sheng's life to six months.
The price is that Li Sheng needs to sign a contract and hand over his personal rights to GS Company at the end of his life, allowing them to conduct a series of experiments on him, including vivisection and drug testing.
A guild called [Beast of Thousand Maws], which specializes in selling monster pets, said that it can make Li Sheng into a corpse demon to leave a memory for his family and serve as a bodyguard.
A guild called the [Demon Scientists Alliance] stated that it could extract Li Sheng's soul and make it into a soul crystal that could be preserved for a long time. The price would be to be permanently trapped in the container and unable to interact with the outside world.
Relatively speaking, the most reliable one is a guild called [Whale Song], which specializes in computers and electronic information technology.
Their latest technology can scan and upload part of a person's consciousness, achieving a certain sense of "electronic immortality."
However, this technology still has a lot of problems that cannot be overcome. The "people" uploaded to the server only have a life of about a few minutes, and cannot save their memory, and can only cycle through it.
Li Sheng did not think this was a "cure", and when he asked if he could purchase player qualifications and enter the killing field by himself to find a cure, all organizations gave a negative answer.
At any time, player qualifications are an extremely precious resource. In addition to the automatic selection in the killing field, there is only one way to obtain [non-players kill players and seize qualifications].
When the Killing Fields game had just started and there were no rules, low-level players were no different than livestock.
Transnational groups, gangs, terrorist organizations, regional warlords, and even violent organizations like the CIA will regularly look for players, hunt them down, and transfer their qualifications to [one of their own].
If the player wants to kill them all, they can kidnap their family members in advance, force them to submit, and make them hand over all the resources obtained from the killing field. It's like "breeding".
It was not until early players grew up and gradually gained the ability to fight against modern weapons that balance was established.
Multinational groups no longer collect qualifications through violent means, but instead cooperate with private players, offering high salaries to buy, hire, and even marry.
Private electors also spontaneously formed guilds to compete with transnational groups and state machinery, eventually forming a dynamic balance with a set of basic rules and breaking away from the barbaric growth stage.
To this day, any guild organization that still wants to maintain a good reputation will not openly sell player qualifications.
Even if there is, it is under extremely special circumstances - for example, a non-human species kills a human player to gain qualifications, and the guild happens to capture the monster/ghost/monster/mechanical body. There is no need to consider human rights or not.
With his thoughts back, Li Sheng looked at the office.
Every painting hanging on the wall will move. The ocean in the oil painting stirs up rough waves. The sailors on the boat shout at the top of their lungs and furl the sails to resist the wind and waves.
The waterfall in the ink painting falls straight down, stirring up white mist, and the ancients by the pool are playing chess.
Under the scroll, there is a row of locked glass cabinets containing various items. From gleaming ancient daggers to long-barreled flintlock guns. From the Chinese wedding dress made of red paper to the deactivated lightsaber hilt.
Besides the glass cabinet are two movable blackboards. There are many reward orders posted on it.
[Meng Xiucheng, male, forty years old, Level 17, has not joined any guild. In order to enhance his own strength, he triggered red-level abnormal events in Meng City, and may now be hiding in the killing field (-52, 17, 290) area. Reward amount: 7500]
[Lynn, female, unknown age, Level 27, former member of the Demonic Scientists Alliance. Extremely dangerous. If you encounter it in the killing field, please report it to the Global Supernatural Alliance in time. If you provide any valuable information, you will receive more than 2,000 yuan]
[Rewards for unhatched dragon eggs require magic system metal dragons, such as brass dragons, bronze dragons, red copper dragons, gold dragons, silver dragons, etc. The remuneration can be discussed in detail]
[Three dementors are sold with integrity, they are all bred in the backyard, have blood certificates, have a docile personality, and can look after the home]
[Eugene, Male, 30 years old, Level 10, former member of Bell Tower, stole seven golden arrows from the guild and then defected. He may now be hiding in Yin City]
As the business card says, the business scope of the World Nuclear Bungalow Jiguang not only undertakes private commissions, but also cooperates with other guild organizations.
Zhiya——
The door of the office was pushed open from the outside, and Chang Sun Yao, carrying a gray and white chinchilla on his shoulders, walked in and placed two rows of brown ampoules filled with transparent liquid on the table.
“This is a powerful gene inhibitor that I got from [European Heavy Industries]. Although European Heavy Industries is not as specialized as GS in the field of bioengineering, it is also one of the top industry pioneers.”
Chang Sun Yao sat in the boss's chair and said: "Thirty bottles of medicine, one taken every two days, can suppress the insect transformation reaction and extend your life as a human to two months."
"Thank you."
Li Sheng nodded, and as agreed, placed the semi-solidified black grease previously seized from Cai Zixuan on the table as the agreed reward. Changsun Yao glanced at the black grease, and lines of description appeared in his sight.
[Name: Laughing Putty]
[Type: Consumables]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Special Effects: Curtain Show. After application, the body's physical fitness will be greatly enhanced for a period of time, and at the same time it will fall into an uncontrollable bloodthirsty rage. If you can survive the violent stage, you can retain the strengthening effect permanently】
[Consumption: None]
[Cooling time: None]
[Conditions of use: without any extraordinary enhancement]
[Remarks: Western drama originated from ancient Greece and ancient times Rome. This product is blended with Pompeii volcanic ash. Thanks to these ash, modern people can know that the ancient Romans had gray skin, no hair, and liked to lie on the floor of their houses, using stones as quilts]
< br>【Note: When you are unhappy, take a convertible for a ride, and when you are sad, take a helicopter for a spin】
"Excellent quality Laughter Putty?"
Changsun Yao put away the black grease and said in surprise: "Have you met someone from [Crazy Laughter Troupe]?"
"That's right." Li Sheng Thinking of the giant in the hospital, "Is this thing made by them?"
Well, [Laughter Troupe] is a notorious atypical guild. It does not have a management structure in the strict sense. It is likely that even the headquarters None. "
Chang Sun Yao said: "Members of the troupe have the pursuit of dramatic effects as their life goal. Sometimes they appear suddenly to help official organizations solve abnormal events, and sometimes they themselves are the creators of abnormal events.
This thing is a prop they made, which can greatly enhance physical fitness, at the cost of falling into a bloodthirsty rage.
Once they put a bucket of stuff into the meals of an international summer camp, causing hundreds of primary school students from all over the world to kill each other, and only one survived.
The reason turned out to be that someone in the theater group wanted to write an article called "The Competition in Summer Camp".
This group of people is a collection of pleasure offenders, lunatics, fun-lovers, psychopaths, paranoiacs, and idiots. The logic of their actions is difficult to predict based on the concept of interests, so it is best not to deal with them. "
"I understand, thank you for reminding me. ”
Li Sheng nodded and packed up the ampoules and took them away.
“Wait a minute.” Changsun Yao took out two more things and threw them to Li Sheng.
One is a black packaged spray can similar to an air freshener, and the other is a medicine bottle.
"The spray can contains an odor remover that can remove all odors from your body and prevent other insect host infections from being discovered.
The pill bottle contains pills that can increase your heart rate and Pulse, no side effects ”
Chang Sun Yao said: "In the Skynet surveillance system of the Special Affairs Bureau, there is a technology called Eulerian Video Magnification.
This technology can filter the brightness of video pixels. When it passes through the blood circulation, Extremely small changes in the color of the face, heart beating and pulse frequency were observed
The physical fitness of extraordinary people is far superior to that of ordinary people, and the heartbeat and pulse will slow down unconsciously. The Special Affairs Bureau has discovered many things based on this indicator. An alien hidden in the crowd.
Your current heartbeat level is good, but when the gene mutates, you may still be discovered by cameras in places with strict security conditions such as high-speed rail stations and airports.
These two items are free of charge. If you still have good things in the future, you can come to me to barter for them. ”
"Okay."
Li Sheng accepted the two gifts, stood up and said goodbye and left the World Nuclear Flat House. He breathed into his palms in the cold wind and walked into the vast night.
Chang Sun Yao was lying in the boss's chair, leaning back with her hands behind her head, her slender feet resting on the desk, her bright eyes looking at the bright moon outside the window, wondering what she was thinking.
"Zhizhizhi——"
The gray and white chinchilla on her shoulder meowed a few times, she turned her head and glanced at the pet, and said casually: "You asked me why I am enthusiastic about him? Hmm. Maybe, I see a shadow of myself in him.”
