Loot: Corporate Assets

"You have no choice, you have no choice, you have no choice."

In reality, the senior engineer walked down the street with a nonchalant air, followed by several people who had just been awakened from the virtual space: Black Python, Poison Scorpion, Single God being carried by Black Python, and the mainframe computer that had come to join him.

Looking at the nonchalant man in front of him, Black Python scratched his head and asked with a puzzled expression, "Wife, why does this guy have no air of a strong person at all?"

Is this guy really as amazing as his wife says?

"What do you think the demeanor of a strong person is? Not eating, drinking, or defecating? Or just pretending to be dead and gloomy all the time?" The scorpion rolled its eyes.

Hearing the senior engineer humming the tune of "No Choice" made him even more depressed.

Yes, what other choices do hackers have?

Would you choose a wildly imaginative idea, or one that explodes with brain matter?

In the past, hackers liked to leave a backdoor in a person's mind as preparation for the next "mind invasion".

There's no need for that now, because there really is such a 'backdoor' at the physical level.

Of all the "electronic brain solutions," only Dugo Technologies's "virtual helmet" has no hole in the head and allows users to freely log in and out of the network.

Therefore, the principle is that when Gao makes a call to action, all lawbreakers follow suit.

Dugo Technologies won, so everyone can play freely.

If it loses, then everyone is doomed.

This is why even the old guys who ascended to heaven through electrons would "descend" to help him.

They are the ancestors of Cyber Hacker. Although they have transcended the profession, they do not want it to disappear completely.

In fact, in the previous life, there was no timeline without Dugo Technologies.

As soon as the corporate war ended, the hackers were in deep trouble. Most of the top 100 hackers were arrested, and the rest either died or escaped, a truly tragic scene.

And those who took action were the mega-corporations that viewed hackers as a thorn in their side.

Upon entering the Hive again and seeing the bottom layer, with its massive mechanical shell exposed and the huge drill bit flattened, the group gasped once more.

She looked at him with an even more complicated expression.

Is this guy really that strong?

"Open the password, unlock all the mechanical brain devices, and unify the 'electronic brain' with my home's system."

The senior engineer looked at the mainframe computer, which nodded without hesitation.

The neuro-editing group is sinking; jumping ship as soon as possible is the right thing to do.

Soon, a very peculiar voice rang in the engineer's mind. It was an electronic voice that was devoid of any emotion but high and mighty.

"Dugo Technologies defeats the Neural Editing Group; the Neural Editing Group's corporate status is revoked."

The "Virtual Helmet Project" will replace the "Mechanical Brain Modification Program."

The merger was forced by the will of the companies involved.

"Dugo Technologies, ranked ninth in the region."

The senior engineer glanced at the list and discovered that six of the top nine companies were competitors of military supply contractors.

These bug-exploiting experts probably gave up their spots in the first stage.

Only three companies truly defeated their rivals.

Saint Brain Group

Immortal Technology

And then there's Dugo Technologies.

Needless to say, the Holy Brain Group, and Ms. Ye, also known as the Dark Girl, possessed SS-level superpowers that greatly contributed to this war.

Others are the chosen ones, she's the father of the version.

In Gao Gong's memory, the Saint Brain Group never fell out of the top three in this war, even without the help of Dugo Technologies's military forces.

As for Yong Sheng Technology, with such an arrogant name, it sounds like a behemoth with a monopolistic level.

Just how amazing is this company? They developed two essential tools for corporate executives to escape: consciousness uploading and sub-body clones.

Later, one of their family's small shareholders went out to start his own business and founded Johnson & Johnson Group, one of the four major biotech giants. This shareholder was Merkel lived for four hundred years.

Fortunately, they are all in the Northern Hemisphere, the senior engineer thought with a relaxed expression.

Just then, the 'mainframe' trotted over, its face full of obsequiousness, and said:

"Mr. G, all management authority over 'human data' has been transferred to your company's electronic network department."

Has the modification of mechanical brains stopped?

"Of course, everything has been stopped, and we are ready to connect with the 'virtual helmet' project at any time."

The senior engineer glanced at the data and found that in Hive City, the mechanical brain modification had reached 40%, which meant that nearly half of the brains had been cracked open.

This efficiency is already quite high.

After all, brain modification requires a high success rate.

It's not as simple as just wearing a helmet.

Incidentally, in his previous life, as a virtual technology expert, Senior Engineer knew at least several hundred, if not a thousand, brain-computer interface modification schemes.

Why choose a "virtual headset" with the least modification?

The reason is simple: choosing this option will allow you to gain a large number of hidden teammates, such as Cyber Hacker, some super AIs, and even some super strong individuals from the mother city.

The stronger an individual is, the more they resist "collective transformation".

This is basic common sense.

This becomes especially troublesome during periods of rapid civilization advancement.

"Also, here is our corporate data password and personnel list, a total of 1,324 neural editors, ready for your group to take over at any time."

It's a company full of "programmers".

Well, it pretty much matches the senior engineer's impression of this company.

The senior engineer used a password to access the core database of the neural editing group.

With a flash of the holographic screen, a plethora of technical solutions were displayed.

[You have obtained the blueprint for the Level 30 mechanical unit, [Brain King Bee]]

[You have obtained the faction-exclusive building: Mechanical Brain Data Transmission Center]

[You have acquired Level 2 Civilization Super Technology: [Consciousness Pack Technology]]

Super technology is somewhat similar to civilization architecture; it refers to technology that exceeds the upper limit of a civilization's current level, which is the level 10 blueprint, but does not reach the technological level of the next civilization level.

In short, cutting-edge technology.

Weapons and equipment crafted using "cutting-edge technology" can reach the last two levels out of the six equipment tiers: Epic (cutting-edge technology) and Epoch-making (cross-civilization).

Especially groundbreaking equipment must be created using "cutting-edge technology".

The "epoch-making" equipment on the senior engineer's body... well, sorry, there are zero pieces.

What remains are a little over one hundred, nearly two hundred, 'ordinary blueprints'.

[You have obtained the Level 5 technology blueprint [Brain Plugin No. 8] (incomplete)]

[You have obtained the Level 6 technology blueprint [Brain Plugin 11] (incomplete)]

[You have obtained the Level 6 Technology Blueprint [Cerebellum Plugin #21]]

Most of the drawings had the words "incomplete" hanging on the back.

This is normal for any tech company; they lack a system and can only explore in the fog of technology, with few succeeding and many more failing.

[You have acquired company assets: 120 million Machine Coins]

[You have acquired corporate assets: 12,000 Mother City Trading Points]

Kindness?

Trading point?

The senior engineer narrowed his eyes; this was a real treasure.

It is a super currency that can be traded directly with the planet's mainframe, and can be exchanged for resources and technologies that this planet does not even have.

But where did this thing come from?

The senior engineer looked at the mainframe computer.

The mainframe explained:

"This is the currency that Dou received after selling the 'consciousness brain technology' to the Deep Web."

So that's how it is.

The senior engineer suddenly realized.

As the "planetary governor" of a higher-level civilization, the mother city also collects some very creative "lower-level civilization technologies" and uploads them to headquarters.

If the senior engineer sells his own "mecha technology" and "biochip technology" to the mother city, he can still obtain these kinds of trading points.

Of course, he wouldn't sell it.

The senior engineer switched to "professional knowledge," which, according to the company, is basic scientific research data.

The senior engineer had no expectations for this emerging company.

As expected, there were four to five types of professional knowledge for "Neural Editing Technology" and five or six types for "Mechanical Brain Technology," and that was all.

What's even more frustrating is that he has all of this professional knowledge.

For example, in the knowledge chain of "neural editing technology," he has reached the maximum level in all nine professional knowledge areas.

He looked at the mainframe computer with a half-smile.

"Is that all?"

The mainframe immediately patted its chest and guaranteed:

"These are the company's assets; there is absolutely no embezzlement whatsoever."

Upon seeing this, Shan Shen suddenly said:

"Why didn't you mention the secret about 'Kabuto' that you told me about before?"

The mainframe suddenly went black. "You big-eyed, thick-browed guy, how come you're even more despicable than me? You got beaten up and your loyalty level immediately went up to the maximum?"

"You said that finding that secret would lead to the source of Kabuto's abnormal talent."
