I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 501 - 117: Sealing One’s True Nature (4,500 Words) (Part 2)

Speaking of Yang Lie, online rumors say he created an entire harem within his headquarters building, enjoying the company of three thousand beauties, with specifications identical to ancient harems, and the concubines were all "slaves" acquired from the slums and human traffickers.

These girls and a few handsome youths have been trained specifically to serve Yang Lie alone, and if they even slightly dare to resist or displease him, they face the risk of being killed and thrown into the bone burial grounds deep in the mines.

Initially, Yun You also found this a bit unbelievable, but after a thorough inspection of the building, she actually discovered those poor souls in the underground area and learned from them that some of Yang Lie's "games" were even more nauseating than what was said online, absolutely among the scariest, even by underground website standards.

In contrast, Yun You's handling methods are virtually like the living Buddha himself.

However, the little girl doesn't care how others do things.

Since she decided to create a good company, she wouldn't leave any leverage for criticism.

...

Finally, Yun You found Tian En who was patrolling in the security department.

In fact, Tian En's role as the head of the security department was quite leisurely; she didn't need to strategize like Aurora and Frost Moon, glued to the phone day in and day out, with endless meetings to attend; nor did she need to have work to do every day like Yuanbao.

She only needed to patrol regularly and manage those hostile to the company.

Because Huangxing Group's security has always been good, and G District is located in the Midtown Industrial District, there are virtually no underground gangs, so most of the time, she didn't have much to do.

However, Yun You didn't mind. The fewer jobs the security department has, the better, because it means the company has fewer problems to deal with.

The two chatted casually, discussing nothing more than the recent situation and gossip about the Apprentice Death God.

"Speaking of... Xiaoyou."

As they chatted, Tian En abruptly changed the subject, carefully scrutinizing Yun You.

Long before signing the contract, Yun You had confessed her name to them, so Tian En followed the others' example and called Yun You "Xiaoyou."

After pondering a moment, she asked in a low voice, "You should have broken through to the second tier by now, right?"

"Mm, I just broke through not long ago."

Yun You nodded.

"Did you apply for a 'doll' from the organization?"

Tian En scrutinized Yun You again, curiously asking, "At first, I thought Frost Moon was your doll, but after a closer look, it isn't."

"For so long, I haven't seen a doll by your side, so you haven't applied yet?"

Upon hearing this, Yun You was momentarily stunned.

Doll...

To her, this was a slightly unfamiliar term.

But soon, she recalled everything related to it.

The so-called doll is a "puppet" with erased self-identity, it's the unique exclusive servant for Apprentice Death Gods.

They are typically modified using children under the age of ten, with the frontal lobes completely excised, and the emotional and cognitive cerebral cortices replaced with electronic components and soul amplifiers, essentially devoid of independent thought capability and emotional expression, truly a "puppet."

Every aspect of a puppet is controlled by their master—the Apprentice Death God. Through special implants, the Death Gods can control the puppets' actions with just a thought.

Battle, support, communications, chores, even household tasks, puppets are skilled at everything, and if they aren't, they can quickly master required skills through powerful learning copying capabilities.

However, Old Jin once told Yun You that these uses are actually an underutilization; the truly powerful function of a puppet is the one hundred percent adaptability to the chips in their brain.

In general, a hacker's combat capability is determined by how much they've developed their brain and the total number of chips they can load.

The more chips there are, the stronger their power becomes, providing an insurmountable computational advantage over peers with fewer chips.

But a human brain isn't a machine; installing too many chips can potentially bring a burden.

Normal people can't fully adapt to the burdens brought by chips, but a doll doesn't have to worry about these, because their semi-cybernetic brain can completely withstand the chip pressure, so theoretically, no problem arises even if more chips are installed.

Thus, some say the emergence of dolls somewhat negates the existence value of hackers.

The vast majority of hackers would be computationally overwhelmed by dolls, only a rare genius among geniuses like Frost Moon could rely on imagination and advanced skills to contend against dolls.

However, in reality, dolls can't replace hackers.

The reason is simple—the costs of the two are on completely different levels.

Hackers might sound high-end, but in actuality, anyone with the right brain implants can be called a hacker, and most second-hand low-end chips typically cost only a few thousand Silver Cannons, a very low threshold, giving Yun You, although not yet an Apprentice Death God, a chance to save up and buy one.

What about dolls?

They require human children as base material, and they must be kids raised in a natural society, not clone tanks.

Though human life is ridiculously cheap in Nest City, such experimental subjects can still fetch tens of thousands of Silver Cannons at high prices.

And that's just the "expenditure materials" of the first stage.
