Corporate War?

"You mean, during your fierce battle with those two from the Holy City organization, the Deep Web's will suddenly descended, leaving you three hackers with no choice but to join forces against the Deep Web?"

"Then, the Ninth Spider Woman you killed earlier suddenly 'came back to life' and attacked you from behind. You then withstood her attack and ate her."

"The part that you consumed was a 'fragment of an evil god,' which is the 'spider seal' of the Deep Web Weaver. It took you a lot of effort to suppress it."

The senior engineer stroked his chin. "During this process, wasn't the DeepNet's will targeting you?"

According to what the senior engineer knew in his previous life, among the three mother cities, only the Deep Web can travel in multiple places simultaneously.

According to the plot of this life, the Mother City Deep Web has an intricate connection with the Deep Web Lady who negotiated with the Empire.

"After absorbing the 'Fragment of the Evil God,' I immediately left the battlefield. I have hundreds of temporary network relay stations around the world, so it's easy for me to run away if I want to."

Bird of Paradise sighed and said regretfully, "However, 99% of my virtual transfer stations have been blocked. I don't know how long it will take to create so many backdoors again."

"This is in line with the style of the mother city."

The senior engineer didn't say one thing: the mother city most likely held back.

From the perspective of the mother city, the enemy can be roughly divided into three types.

The first type is those who sabotage the cyber test site and interfere with the project's development. For such people, the Mother City will kill them without exception.

The second type involves violating the mechanical laws of the mother city, such as large-scale destruction of "artificial data," attacks on global corporations, and assassinations of key figures in the mother city.

The third option is to violate the rules of the Mechanical City and confront the Mechanical Mastermind.

The bird of paradise clearly belongs to the second type.

However, the second type of enemy also depends on the situation. If it is an ordinary person, then of course they should be killed without exception.

However, if it is a level 60 virtual life form, and it is a virtual life form born from the Cyber Test Site, then it is inherently very "experimental value".

Hundred Alliance Book

That's a different story.

In the cyber test field, there's no room for equality.

Rather than killing the bird of paradise, Mother City is likely more interested in studying it.

As for whether to arrest them for research or use other more covert methods, the Deep Web may be more inclined to the latter.

The thought flashed through his mind. The senior engineer stared at the other person's cheek, then suddenly reached out and touched the brand.

A tingling sensation came from the engineer's fingertips. The engineer felt as if every piece of the simulated data on his body was wrapped in silk threads.

For some reason, Bird of Paradise suddenly felt guilty and shifted its gaze when the senior engineer stared at it.

Meanwhile, Ahong and Aidoru exchanged a secret glance.

It's as if it's saying—even a mature and sophisticated woman like the eldest sister can be subdued one day.

"Faith is data."

One theory suggests that ancient religions were like a large virtual computer, with deities as the database, doctrines and scriptures as a special programming language, and worshippers and believers as the executable programs running in the depths of their subconscious.

As for the evil god, it is also a large virtual computer, only it is a special version for viruses or hackers.

The senior engineer suddenly said:

"Is the Holy City Organization resurrecting evil gods in various places?"

The bird of paradise seemed a little slow to react for some reason, its face flushing slightly, and it quickly said:

"As far as I know, this shouldn't be the first time."

"Then this Holy City organization must be closely related to the Turing Church."

"Elder brother."

"Huh, huh!?" The senior engineer turned around and was startled to find Gao Yuanyuan standing behind him. She had long hair and wore a white dress. Although she smiled very cutely, she inexplicably reminded the senior engineer of Sadako, who was spying on him.

The bird of paradise instinctively tilted its head back, escaping the senior engineer's clutches.

"Brother, you haven't contacted me in a long time," Gao Yuanyuan said with a sweet smile.

"Ahem, aren't you busy?" the senior engineer coughed, changing the subject. "But now that a 'fragment of an evil god' has fallen into your hands, things will be easier."

The senior engineer took Gao Yuanyuan's small hand, Gao Yuanyuan blushed, her faint Sadako aura immediately disappearing.

The brother and sister were of one mind, and Gao Yuanyuan immediately transferred some of her power to Gao Gong, whose palms became transparent.

"A fragment of an evil god, is it?"

A ball of data flame immediately appeared in the senior engineer's palm, within which it seemed as if countless wings were flapping.

"My fire code."

Bird of Paradise thought to herself, but soon she changed her mind, because the data flow within the flames was getting faster and faster, and the flames were gradually changing from red to dark red, and then to a bright color.

Like the sun!

"This is--"

Bird of Paradise said in disbelief, "When she's at full power, she can reach that level, but she can't possibly do it as effortlessly as Senior Engineer."

This is the information code for a Level 3 civilization.

The next moment, the light transformed into countless beams of light, striking the scars on the bird of paradise's face, like surgical stitches, constantly poking and altering them.

The stitching was extremely painful, with a massive amount of simulated data assaulting the sensory center, but Bird of Paradise gritted its teeth and remained silent.

Soon, a spider was sewn into the scar, and the scar fell off the bird of paradise's cheek.

The scars on this mature woman's face have disappeared, leaving only a faint red mark, as if she had been pressed down by a pillow while sleeping.

Meanwhile, a strange spider was crawling on the engineer's hand, but no matter how it crawled, it couldn't get out of the engineer's palm.

"You've taken many detours on your path to becoming a super hacker, or rather, you've performed many forbidden data modifications. While these modifications enhanced your abilities, they also left you with health problems. This time, we'll solve them all for you, aww~"

Suddenly, the engineer felt a pain in his waist. He turned around and saw that Gao Yuanyuan had pouted, as if to say, "Brother, you're showing off and picking up girls again."

Oh, I forgot, I'm using my own sister's power now, which is a major taboo for a scumbag. I've gotten too cocky and need to reflect on my actions.

"Ahem, anyway, that's how it is. Here, take this and think about it yourself. You might gain something from it. Consider it my reward for exchanging fragments of the evil god with you."

For a level 60 life form like the Bird of Paradise, exchanging this mass of Level 3 civilization code essence for a 'Fragment of Evil God' was definitely a worthwhile deal.

The bird of paradise touched its cheek, its expression complex, its eyes shimmering.

Ah Hong and Ai Duolu exchanged a glance. Oh no, had their senior sister been infected?

As for the senior engineer himself, he was soon taken by his younger sister to the data node that his sister had opened up on the cyber network.

"An orphanage?"

Looking at the familiar building, the senior engineer raised his eyebrows.

"Okay!" Gao Yuanyuan giggled, her face beaming with joy, and she grabbed Gao Gong's hand and ran inside.

"Sister Yuanyuan!"

"Elder sister!"

"Little Yuanyuan!"

One after another, boys and girls ran out, jumping and skipping around Gao Yuanyuan.

"You brought them back to life?"

These experimental subjects in the welfare home recovered much faster than the senior engineer had predicted; it seems they've put in a lot of hard work.

"Kindness!

Gao Yuanyuan pushed Gao Gong forward, saying, "This is my brother, and he will be your brother from now on. From now on, you will not only have to listen to me, but also to your brother."

"Why should he be my brother?" a girl asked indignantly.

The senior engineer sneered and directly took out the candy given to him by the system.

This is a best-selling product with sales all over the universe.

The girl immediately bowed down in worship.

After showering the girl with sweetness, the senior engineer was led into the orphanage.

"Although with your protection, these young men and women are unlikely to be infected by the virus, are you planning to protect them like this indefinitely?"

"What does your brother mean?"

"They are all rudimentary AIs that you resurrected at great cost," the senior engineer said, staring at a small winged snake being chased by the group of children. If he remembered correctly, it was the Turing Church's "Hunter Angels."

"You can increase your efforts to train them. In fact, every corporate giant has its own AI team, and these AI teams are built under the highest level of protection."

"Brother, how much salary are you planning to pay us so we can work for you?" Gao Yuanyuan blinked and asked curiously.

The senior engineer was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was going on and chuckled, "Oh, so you've tried to scheme against me."

"Hehe, I know you have a lot of good things in your head, brother. If you teach me them, we can protect you after we learn them."

"Then wouldn't I be living off a woman?" the senior engineer said seriously. "I'm not that kind of person."

A moment later, the senior engineer returned to reality with a refreshed expression.

Another potential rich woman has been discovered, that's great.

The senior engineer is pursuing a mechanical and carbon-based approach, so his skills from his previous life are truly unusable.

But if someone inherits it, that's a different story.

The first Level 3 civilization established by the senior engineer was a virtual civilization called the "Superbrain Civilization".

The defining characteristic of this civilization is its unparalleled computing power.

Unexpectedly, not long after the senior engineer had a moment to rest, Qin Chunzi took the initiative to visit him and got straight to the point:

"Boss, I suspect someone is planning a corporate war against us."

"Oh? What is your evidence?" the senior engineer asked, raising his eyebrows.

"There is no evidence, but in my previous company, I witnessed several corporate wars. Before each war, I had a special feeling, and this time was no exception."

The senior engineer didn't doubt what the other party said, after all, the other party's boss template was in the business management category, and they were definitely an expert in this area.

Moreover, the senior engineer had predicted that such a move would occur.

Corporate warfare differs from military warfare and is not entirely the same as commercial warfare.

Poaching each other's technical talent, shorting competitors in the stock market, hiring online trolls to spread rumors, and even using some official power—this is an ancient version of corporate warfare.

Today's corporate warfare is more akin to a battle of wits.

The data war relies on the evolution of big data, using one's own technological approach to crack and overcome the opponent's technological approach.

Product wars lead to product competition where different products compete with each other to reduce the amount of manual data collected by the other party.

A war of arms, where one side uses its new weapons to destroy the enemy's newly developed weapon systems.

Virtual warfare involves targeting each other on a virtual level, directly destroying the opponent's corporate will and breaching the minds of top management.

These are the various aspects of the corporate war.
