Virtual Infiltration

"Distribute the experience evenly, give the blueprints to Baozi (who works at the prosthetics shop), see if we can get something in return. As for this 'deep image' product, I'll put it up for auction. Any objections?"

No one objected; it was a very fair way of dividing the property, and Sister Ji was even at a slight disadvantage.

Soon, Sister Ji revealed the product attributes she had offered.

Basic Social Chip: Implanted in the parietal lobe's language processor, enhancing communication skills and increasing the character's charm attribute by +10.

"What's this? A chip? That's good stuff!" (Airplane)

"I think you're the last person who needs it," PP's boss complained.

"How about giving it to Black Ice Bro? I feel like he's a bit withdrawn. Giving him one would make communication easier during missions," the plane sent a funny emoji.

"Great idea!"

Same as above

"... Do you want to die?" Black Ice Number Two

After the jokes were over, everyone agreed to give the thing to Sister Ji, since without her, there would have been no mission.

Moreover, with this social chip installed, Sister Ji has a higher chance of receiving missions.

If Sister Ji can't get out, then this task still has to be handed over to them.

"I'm leaving the group now, it's nothing." (A man carrying a knife but no umbrella on a rainy night.)

"No, Brother Rain, Handsome Umbrella, look how well we've worked together this time. If there are any more missions in the future, wouldn't it be more convenient to stay in the group chat?" Sister Ji quickly advised.

She realized that the most reliable person in this small group was the one with the literary talent.

And since he calls himself a "killer intermediary," he must have a killer under his command.

She knew from the character's portrait that this person had successfully changed jobs and become a full-fledged assassin.

Assassin, that profession sounds incredibly cool!

Umbrella Bro didn't reply, but he also didn't leave the group.

"I'm going to work as a laborer for a gang, anyone want to come with me?" I'm Big Muscle Man.

"Take Me With You" Red Flower Fairy

"Take me with you!" the airplane exclaimed.

"@pp, your memory loss might be treatable by my boss. Want to go check it out?" I love Baozi.

"Great, I've already taken half a day off, so I'm free," the PP boss replied.

After chatting in the group for a while, I am Big Muscle, Red Flower Fairy, and Airplane went to the Welfare Helper to move bricks.

And I love Baozi and pp head heading to the neurotic cabin.

Black Ice II will take on the lucrative debt collection mission.

Everyone went home and found their mothers.

PP looked around curiously. She had been to Hanging Street before, but only at night.

Hanging Street is even more lively at night than during the day, but Hanging Street during the day has a different flavor: the constant coming and going of modders, dilapidated buildings, swaying overpasses, robot beggars begging for food, fierce-looking thugs, buyers and sellers arguing fiercely over a few cans of synthetic food, flying cars in the sky, holographic GGs that occasionally float by, and mechanical eyeliners emitting red light.

All of this created a harmonious yet eerie scene.

"The post-apocalyptic art style is interesting!"

"Hmm, what did you say?" Baozi asked.

"Nothing."

Just as Baozi was about to say something, he suddenly saw Yu Ye standing at the door, carrying a knife but no umbrella.

"Hey? Umbrella Bro, what are you doing here? Getting a prosthetic body?"

Umbrella Bro looked up at the two of them and said succinctly, "Accept the mission."

"A hidden mission! How enviable!" Baozi said with a hint of jealousy, "Even I, an internal employee, don't get this kind of treatment, and you beat me to it! It's outrageous!"

The PP boss wasn't familiar with the other party, so he could only give an awkward laugh.

Somewhat unexpectedly, the assassin opposite her saw her and nodded slightly at her.

'This abstinent man doesn't seem so difficult to get along with,' PP's boss thought to himself.

"Huh, new stock again?"

Baozi glanced at it and let out a soft exclamation. He knew that his shop would release new products every now and then. A while ago, they had three kinds of high-quality weapons: an electronically controlled stun baton, a tracking sniper rifle, and a neon rocket that looked like a wide-range flashbang.

This time, the new product is actually a network implantation pod. Although it is also a blank slab, the price is 30% cheaper than that on the market.

"Hey, Pipi, do you need this? If you want it, I'll try to see if I can get you an insider price, Pipi?"

Baozi turned her head and saw PP's boss staring at the approaching senior engineer with shining eyes, his face turning red.

"So handsome!!"

"My boss is handsome, but you don't need to be like this—Holy crap, boss, you look absolutely stunning today!!!"

The senior engineer ignored the other party. Since he switched to being Cyber Hacker, the charm of his original form, the Rich Lady Aiai Prototype, has gradually transferred to reality. This resulted in his younger sister taking several extra glances at him when he went out this morning.

"Aren't you off today?"

Baozi said with a shameless grin, "Isn't it because I was worried that business was so good that you, boss, couldn't handle it all by yourself?"

Speak like a human.

"Boss, I've got my hands on something good. Come over and take a look."

He then took out the blueprints that had been given as part of the mission.

The senior engineer glanced at it.

Personality Modifier (Basic): This device crudely alters the human brain, causing a drastic change in the subject's personality. There's a 30% chance it will induce a vegetative state, a 20% chance it will induce insanity, a 40% chance it will modify the personality, a 5% chance it will activate a hidden personality, and a 5% chance it will induce cyberbullying.

"Where did these blueprints come from?"

"Hehe, it was a gift from a friend."

Is your friend called System?

The senior engineer glanced at him and knew that this guy must have gone to do a task that morning, and the task reward must be...

The basic personality modifier is a level 2 neural blueprint, which costs around 1,000 to 4,000 on the market. Large companies have higher-level personality modification technology, and individuals are unlikely to use it. The only market for this blueprint is indeed for prosthetic doctors like him.

"I'll buy your 3000 machine tokens."

"Sell, sell, sell!"

Baozi quickly agreed. To be honest, the price exceeded his expectations. He thought he would be lucky to sell 1,000 tokens. He had inquired about the market and found that there were no buyers for these tokens.

My boss still cares about me.

"Oh, right," Baozi quickly pushed his butt out, "Boss, my friend has amnesia, you know, that kind of common mental illness they talk about on TV. Can you take a look?"

PP was pressed against this handsome guy, staring at him with an aggressive gaze. Her face turned bright red, and all sorts of classic wall-slamming scenes from ancient dramas, modern dramas, Korean dramas, and Japanese dramas played over and over in her mind. For a moment, she couldn't even hear what the other guy was saying.

When I came to my senses, I was already half-lying on the operating table.

"It hurts a little, just bear with it."

PP's eyes widened suddenly, and blood started flowing from his nose.

The senior engineer operated the surgical arm, preparing to dismantle the other party's network implantation chamber, when the other party suddenly covered their nose, jumped off the operating table, and ran straight to the bathroom.

With a loud bang, the toilet door was slammed shut.

Only three men remained, staring at each other blankly.

Baozi chuckled dryly, "Um, boss, my friend isn't feeling well, could you please wait a moment?"

He immediately sent a message to the other party.

"Hey, ma'am, what's going on?"

"I've taken too much, I need to calm down."

"You've taken too much. You haven't even had anesthesia yet, have you?"

"What do you know? I'm really shipping this couple, I'm too invested, I need a moment to process this. Wait ten minutes for me."

'...'

The senior engineer stroked his chin, wondering if he was really that charming.

He shook his head, switched the panel, and simultaneously upgraded the Cyber Hacker profession, the three professional knowledge items, and the professional skill [Simulated Data Programming] to level 5.

The job change quest popped up immediately.

[Job Change Quest: Hacking]

Task details:

1. Hacker into the data center of a medium-sized enterprise, obtain enough simulated code, and build your own database.

2. Build your own artificial intelligence

"Oh, this job change quest is easy."

It's hard to say about other things, but when it comes to taking the virtual route, senior engineers are definitely experienced.

He glanced at the three professional knowledge points. Unlike other professions, the professional knowledge of Cyber Hacker can actually be used as skills.

For example, the description of level 1 Virtual Invasion is as follows.

Virtual Invasion Level 1: Threatening, interfering with, and disrupting executable programs through intracranial programming of simulated data.

Simply put, even without Electronic Barrier, he can use programming to counter attacks from other hackers and AI.

But level 5 Virtual Invasion is different.

Level 5: Performs neural network hacking on various human organs and components, as well as ordinary enterprise hardware, unprotected prosthetics, and low-level artificial intelligence operating systems.

The former is protection, while the latter is hacking.

The latter, however, is the most powerful capability of Cyber Hacker.

PP finally emerged from the toilet, his nose stuffed with two rolls of toilet paper, and lay resolutely on the operating table.

"Bring it on!"

"..."

The senior engineer walked over, initiated the Virtual Invasion, and countless simulated data flashed in his eyes. These were his own emotions, his own thoughts, and his own bodily signals.

The intensity of Virtual Invasion is generally proportional to the level of perception, but the senior engineer's perception is the only one to break through three digits, reaching a terrifying number of 104.

The other party's perception is 4.

Therefore, the strength of his Virtual Invasion is far beyond what the weak players in front of them can resist or even detect.

As expected, the other person's brain was functioning perfectly normally, except for a little bit of redundant data. If this data was not cleared, it would completely collapse in ten days, which would mean that yesterday's memories would be completely lost.

With a thought, the senior engineer decomposed the data into hundreds of 0s and 1s, reprogrammed it, patched it, and re-embedded it into the brain system.

The whole process takes less than 3 seconds.

"Alright."

"That's it?" PP was stunned for a moment. I had just lain down, and you're already done? All that mental preparation I did was for nothing.

However, as she tried to recall, yesterday's memories flooded back like a tide.

"So that's how it is!" PP's boss muttered to himself.

[Your nerve repair surgery is complete. Experience +800]

The senior engineer didn't take this minor surgery seriously at all.

In ancient times, memory loss was a terrible thing.

But in the mechanical age, memory loss is like catching a cold; unless it's a large-scale flu outbreak, no one will care.

Two years later, during the cyber wave, a global memory loss event will occur.

On the entire planet, there isn't a single person with complete memories.

This is just the first wave of the cyber trend.

Following closely behind are 'Personality Reset', 'Neural Theft', 'Concept Parasite', 'Pheromone Virus', 'Palaeontological Warfare', 'Turing's Eastern Expedition', 'Electronic Brain Graveyard', and 'Bionic Revolution'.

These major events are all incredibly ruthless.

The entire social structure of the planet Jili was disintegrated under this wave.
