Artificial Will

When Dan Shen awoke from his daze, he found himself, unsurprisingly, back in the repair pod, with the fleshy ceiling of the Mother Nest above him.

"Sigh, it failed as expected."

The neuro-editing group wasn't the first company he joined. In order to solve his mental problems, something even more serious than cyborg psychosis, he had already joined several similar companies.

He did everything he could: erase memories, modify neural pathways, and repair consciousness codes.

However, none of them had good results.

Even a third-tier civilization's Mother Nest finds it difficult to repair its own soul.

"In that case, I'm afraid I'll be—"

"Um!?"

Dan Shen suddenly sat up, his expression a mixture of surprise and delight, even a hint of doubt.

How did that 'monster' that tormented me day and night suddenly disappear?

He tried to recall, but his memory was quite hazy. He only remembered seeing a ball of light after being devoured by the construct.

I could almost hear the new boss's voice.

It was my own boss who solved the problem for me!?

Dan Shen quickly climbed out of the repair chamber, quickly put on some clothes, and rushed out of the mother nest. Everywhere he looked, there were Dugo Group employees moving goods. After asking around, he confirmed that the boss was in the office.

As soon as he rushed to the door, he heard a sound that sent chills down his spine.

"Hehehehe, little black python, let me touch your big pectoral muscles."

"No, boss, I have a family!"

"Your wife won't mind."

"But I mind!"

The senior engineer's menacing voice rang out.

"Sir, you wouldn't want your daughter to be sick and have no cure, would you?"

"Okay, then, boss, please be gentle."

The black python's aggrieved voice rang out, like a classic widow's character, aggrieved with disdain, and disdain with a touch of immoral thrill.

Dan Shen suddenly realized that some secrets don't need to be known immediately.

Unfortunately, artificial intelligence had already discovered him and opened the door on its own.

As it turned out, besides the boss and Black Python, Du Xiaohei and Professor Han were also in the office.

Du Xiaohei's eyes lit up as he looked at it.

Professor Han, on the other hand, was so engrossed in the newly acquired knowledge and materials that he could not extricate himself from them.

Dan Shen silently walked in and found that on the senior engineer's skin, the phantom of a black dragon was slowly moving. With each circle it circled, his biomagnetic field solidified.

Isn't this the Black Python's move?

How could the boss do that?

On the system panel that the single god cannot see, the new feature 'Cellular Memory Chip' in the G system version 0 of the high-tech company is in full swing.

[The Black Dragon's exclusive skill 'Secondary Carbon-Based Fusion' is currently being simulated, at 43%, 44%, 45%, 46%...]

Generally speaking, simulating skills using 'cellular memory chips' wouldn't be this slow, but this is an exclusive skill.

The senior engineer's last exclusive skill was "Imperial Might".

Although the scene wasn't as stimulating as Shan Shen had imagined, the sight of two burly men with their upper bodies bare was indeed somewhat offensive.

The senior engineer calmly gave a greeting:

"You're awake."

Dan Shen glanced at the time and realized he had only been unconscious for less than an hour. He had thought he would be unconscious for days and nights.

"Boss, did you save me?"

"Of course, I used a little trick," the senior engineer said calmly.

In fact, it was no small matter. In order to get rid of the 'pseudo-memory mother biological virus' on the other party, the senior engineer used up all the remaining 'advanced information fog'.

But when you're a boss, saving face is what matters.

And Shan Shen clearly knew that this so-called "little trick" must have involved the use of something extremely precious, otherwise how could it have solved his problem?

He said with great gratitude:

"Boss, I'm selling my life to you from now on."

"It's not that exaggerated. Our Dugo Group hasn't been involved in gangsters for many years. Street fights are nothing compared to piloting mechs and dropping bombs."

The senior engineer waved his hand and said:

"From now on, you and Black Python will serve as our Dugo Technologies Hunter Chief Instructors, one responsible for training mechanical hunters and the other responsible for training biological hunters."

[The simulation of the Black Dragon's exclusive skill "Secondary Carbon-Based Fusion" is complete. Would you like to optimize it?]

Optimization

[The large-scale human body data model is being generated; skill matching is underway, at 1%, 2%, etc.]

Not all skills can be used immediately after simulation.

For example, the Emperor's Might requires the "Black Prince's Blood".

As for "secondary carbon-based fusion", without a doubt, it requires a lot of prerequisites, and might even involve working for the Turing Church.

However, by optimizing it with a "large human data model", not only can skill attributes be improved, but the conditions for using skills can also be reduced.

The G system is awesome!

The black python reluctantly put on the clothes, and the senior engineer looked at Shan Shen with lingering interest.

"I had a chat with Old Black about physicality, and we can talk about mechanical bodies another day. Haven't you noticed? Your gears are pretty sexy."

Dan Shen's lips twitched violently, and he suddenly felt like he had fallen into a bottomless pit.

"Alright, now I'm giving you a task: to be in charge of security here. You need to ensure that there are no security issues before we empty this place out."

"As you know, during corporate warfare, many people like to use corporate spies and mercenaries to cause sabotage."

Black Python and Single God's expressions tightened, and they nodded in agreement.

"Alright then, Lao Han, Little Belly, let's go too."

The senior engineer held the little girl in one arm and grabbed Professor Han with the other. The next moment, a flash of purple light appeared, and the two disappeared.

Only two burly men remained, staring at each other for a long time. Finally, Shan Shen couldn't help but look at the black python:

"Was it good?"

The cyber era is also an era of super-corporations. Monopoly is no longer the problem; the problem is not monopolizing.

Every corporate battle presents a golden opportunity for companies to break through their limitations and change the world.

However, to be realistic, not all companies will participate in corporate warfare.

Especially for some mega-corporations, their corporate zones are the safe zones of the global battlefield.

The reason is simple: no matter which company wins the corporate war, it will ultimately need the cooperation of these super-corporations to complete the "Electronic Brain Project".

For example, the six major bionic human groups.

As the most numerous new humans on the planet today, and given their unique "birth method," neither biological brain-computer interfaces nor mechanical brain-computer interfaces, nor other different connection methods, actually have much impact on them.

After all, they are bio-engineered humans; how can they be considered "bio-engineered"? They are simply adding a new functional module.

Therefore, the largest artificial species on this planet did not participate, but instead quietly watched the show.

They'll help whoever wins.

Moreover, the winners must also cooperate with them.

When the senior engineer reappeared, he was in front of a pure white building. The building was very tall, reaching into the clouds, and the entire environment was clearly simulated using artificial environments. The sky was clear, birds were singing and flowers were blooming, and a flock of wild geese was faintly flying south among the floating clouds.

Artificial Will, a giant known for manufacturing bionic chips.

This is also the third bionic enterprise giant that Rose has forcibly acquired, following "Electronic Grid" and "Pure White Shell".

"Radical leverage, barbarians of the free market, a mad queen of mergers," Professor Han had clearly done his homework.

"She was involved in insider trading right under the nose of the Mother City. Among the six departments—Memory Supervision Department, Human Experimentation Department, Electronic Network Department, Machine Consciousness Department, and Ghost in the Shell Mobile Department—this Ms. Rose was on the blacklist of five of them."

"To date, countless eyes are watching her, eager to see her fall."

"Furthermore, this person has already topped the underground bounty list, with a bounty high enough to allow an ordinary person to live the life of a noble in the clouds for the rest of their life."

The senior engineer gave Professor Han a strange look. "Professor, how did you investigate so thoroughly?"

"It wasn't me who investigated thoroughly, it was President Du who investigated thoroughly."

Professor Han calmly said, "By the way, our Du Gao Group contributed a portion of the underground bounty."

"..."

The senior engineer remained silent for a long while before finally saying, "Why wouldn't I know about this?"

"You don't manage things, so it's perfectly normal that you don't know."

That statement makes so much sense that I'm speechless.

Director Du, you have such thick eyebrows and big eyes, how could you hire someone to commit murder? Our Du Gao Group is a legal arms group and mercenary organization, and we take it as our mission to help companies develop better. We can't do anything illegal!

Director Du and Sister Rose are probably born to be at odds, and they probably won't be at odds even after they die.

One is diligently engaged in real industry, selling weapons and building infrastructure.

The other is to operate on the fringes of the law in finance, taking the path of a financial tycoon.

One is a wealthy businesswoman, and the other is a wealthy financier; it's probably only natural that they don't get along.

Fortunately, Sister Rose is magnanimous and never hires assassins. As a former member of the top assassin organization, she usually takes matters into her own hands.

Thinking of this, the senior engineer couldn't help but wipe his sweat. His grand plan to marry a rich woman had suddenly encountered an unprecedented crisis.

"Uncle Gao, why are your legs going weak?"

"A soft heart makes your legs weak."

The senior engineer pushed the wheelchair, leading the little girl into the hall of "Artificial Will".

Surprisingly, not a single living android was seen.

However, there were no people stopping them either.

The senior engineer stroked his chin.

Something doesn't look good.

The companies of the cyber age are not the same as those of the civilized age; they are all monsters.

After acquiring three companies in succession and absorbing their corporate will, can Sister Rose handle it?

"Uncle Gao, there's someone at the stairwell across the street."

The senior engineer looked up and found the stairwell empty, without a single person in sight.

"Little Belly, are you sure you saw someone?" the senior engineer asked, squatting down.

"Yes, I saw it," Du Xiaohei nodded confidently. "Besides, Mom turned off my lying system, so I can't lie to anyone now."

"Uncle will help you untie it later," the senior engineer patted the other's head, stood up, and looked around.

"Old Han, what about you? Did you see anything?"

Professor Han's head tilted to the side, and he crashed.
