MTL - The Witch of the Cyberpunk Era-Chapter 2 Well Spring House

Aizu Castle is divided into three areas: Huicheng District, No. 26 Highland and Katagi District.

Xu Yang set out from Huicheng District, where he lived, and came to a ramen shop called Jingquanwu in No. 26 Heights, ready to meet him.

100 million, really dare to say.

But even if it is bragging, or after a lot of exploitation, it only gives me a few hundred thousand, and I recognize it.

People who leave the company have to take care of their own profits and losses, not to mention that I can't make ends meet now.

Freedom has a price.

Xu Yang wore sunglasses and a mask, put his hands in his pockets, and walked through the street in a low-key manner. There were sparse pedestrians around. A large shuttle flew over the public waterway above. Aizu was an underground city. The icy screen, imagining an empty blue sky.

Looking at the sign of the ramen shop, Xu Yang walked in.

Izumiya Ramen, an independent brand, has 10 branches in Aizu City, and the scale is not large.

This store also uses a common network technology, and each device is connected to a network.

The civilian key is very simple, it is only level 5, and there is no security program installed, so it was easily hacked by Xu Yang.

Xu Yang looked at the list. There were four cameras, two security alarm bells, four electric stoves, an automatic noodle-cooking robot, a card puncher, twenty-six smart dining tables, two floating service robots, and a high-definition wall-mounted TV. …

Their information and status are clear in Xu Yang's digital mind.

There are not many guests in Jingquan House. It is a very quiet place. The lights are bright yellow, sprinkled around, and it feels warm, like a spring scene. The dining tables are separated by classical screens, which are painted with flying birds and dogs. The pictures are hazy and the materials are difficult to distinguish.

The TV is playing a different kind of fighting show, and two winged monsters are fighting fiercely. They are made of biotechnology and transformed with monitor lizards. They are shaped like flying dragons and restore the weird existence of the witch era. They are full of armor and implants. , roars and screams are synthesized by electrons.

One side was slightly inattentive, and his throat was immediately bitten, the metal scales peeled off, the mechanical parts were damaged, the arc sparks sizzled, blood and fuel were sprayed from the wound, and the ground exploded, and the audience boiled like a dragon's fire. .

"Welcome!" A hovering robot quickly rose from behind the counter and came to serve Xu Yang.

Xu Yang's eyes shifted from the TV to the robot. On its screen was a cute cartoon smiley face, pulling his thoughts from the ethereal ancient times back to reality.

"Take me to table 40." Xu Yang said the agreed location.

"Please come with me!"

Xu Yang passed a few geisha robots, they were lying on the sofa, their faces were white, their makeup was on the metal skin, there was a huge glass fish tank on the middle table, and countless air bubbles were sprayed from the air pipe below, and some 3D projected landscape fish. Swimming slowly in it, one of them had a bug, and the place that was supposed to be the head of the fish became a string of garbled characters.

Table 40 is a cubicle with two rows of cotton sofas and a translucent silk door curtain. Two red lanterns with the word "Ling" are hung high above it, and there is a pleasant fragrance in the air.

Xu Yang opened the door, and within seconds of taking his seat, he heard heavy footsteps.

Turning his head, he saw a burly black man walking towards him. The other party was wearing sunglasses, thick lips, a string of gold rings on his ears, a military vest, camouflage pants, high-barrel studded leather shoes, and a belt hanging from his belt. Pair of holsters. In these days, there is a lack of social security and regulations, and shootings may break out on the street at any time, so this kind of dress is not uncommon.

"Hey." He sat opposite Xu Yang, leaned forward, took off his sunglasses, smiled, and reached out to Xu Yang freely.

"The number you reported," Xu Yang said, "is true or false."

"Let's eat, what do you like?" The black man turned on the ordering screen of the smart desktop and randomly selected a few dishes.

"I don't pick."

The black man poked a few times and chose fried chicken, ramen, rice **** and rice cakes.

"You look very relaxed." Xu Yang said.

"I don't know if it's a frivolous impostor," the Negro said, "or a real neurotic hacker."

Xu Yang pulled out the cable from his wrist and plugged it into the port on the side of the table.

This was originally intended to provide charging services for some customers, but now it is used by Xu Yang for data transmission. It is more convenient to control when wired, and remote control is more laborious.

As soon as the black man clicked on the payment interface, he found that the price changed rapidly. The settlement price changed from 2.60 at the beginning to 250,000, then became a larger astronomical figure, and finally became 0.

"Good guy." The black man had to admire, "Only one second?"

"One tenth of a second."

Xu Yang turned to look at the TV in the distance, and the black man's gaze moved over. Under Xu Yang's control, the channels on it switched rapidly, from arena fighting to weather forecast, to trendy anime and company news.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Yang called up the backstage of the entire ramen shop on the TV, which contained daily records, stock catalogues and hygiene conditions, so that everyone could understand the actual service of the shop.

Customers in the store sensed the change and pointed at the screen.

"What? The meat isn't synthetic? I don't want it anymore!"

"What does it mean to sell 3,353 pieces of customer facial data this month?"

"I earn 150 for a bowl of noodles? Is your mother okay?"

Complaints sounded from time to time.

Xu Yang then remotely controlled the three geisha robots that had entered rest mode before, and put them into service mode. They respectfully took tea and fans into their compartments, and knelt on the ground to serve them.

"You are the **** of this neighborhood." The black man nodded in approval, "Which other device can escape your control? This technology is called digital mind, and only a few giant companies have successfully developed it."

God? Xu Yang really felt different. Although this power is powerful, when it is used by the company, it always feels that it does not really belong to you.

Xu Yang shook his head, screened out the geisha robot, restored the menu prices, changed the TV to the original channel, and deleted all operation records, so as not to be traced later, but most of the shops are unmanned, and people will come to deal with them after a long time. .

Knocking on the table, Xu Yang restored everything to the way it was before.

After initial confusion, the diners quickly turned their attention elsewhere.

The black man put a box in front of Xu Yang.

"Open it."

Glancing at it, it was a miniature safe of a small security company. Xu Yang pulled out the wiring and connected it to the safe body. The firewall was in vain in front of the special cracking algorithm of his digital mind, and there were 3 built-in viruses inside. Clean them up in less than half a second to avoid the risk of spontaneous combustion.

The safe disintegrated itself, and it was empty.

The black man's expression changed from relaxed at first to solemn, and he took out another rectangular box.

"Now I want to see your ability to decipher this company's advanced products..."

"enough."

"Um?"

"It's no exaggeration to say that I'm the best neuro-hacker you can meet." Xu Yang disdained the test, "Give me a problem, I'll solve it, give me 100 million, and we'll clear it."

"Oh." The black man put his things away.

"It also includes the advance deposit. I want 10 million, which is not too much."

"Ten million?" The black man smiled, "Look at the details of the commission first."

The sound of the jet propulsion of the intelligent service robot from far to near interrupted the conversation. It brings food.

A bowl of steaming, fragrant tonkotsu ramen was placed in front of Xu Yang, with barbecued pork, fried eggs, peas and strips of seaweed lying on top of the tonkotsu broth and ramen.

Xu Yang didn't move his chopsticks. For a moment, he missed the company's nutritional cream, which didn't have so many complex aromas.

"My name is Mateo." The black man said, "I'll send you a message wirelessly, open the interface."

Xu Yang looked at his built-in information platform and got the information to connect with Mateo. As soon as he passed, the other party sent eight documents, most of which were news and newspapers, and the others were information from a mining company.

While eating ramen, he quickly browsed the contents of the document.

"The large-scale excavation work outside Aizu City has stalled." Xu Yang whispered, "Residents are injured and missing. There is a strange light at night. The Bronze Titan Excavation Company..."

"This company is a subsidiary of Near East Tianci."

"Near East Godsend...an energy giant company."

"They are so rich that they are digging everywhere. Even here, the infinite territory of Kyoto, they have reached out and intervened."

"There is no spice and oil here."

"Of course not, but they didn't come for that kind of thing."

"Then why are they..."

Mateo smashed the fried chicken into pieces, swallowed it, drank a large cup of hot tea, leaned back, and said two words in relief: "Witch."

"what?"

"Digging and digging, they dug up an ancient witch." Mateo said, "Buried in the depths of the Aizu dungeon, the ancient witch is alive."

Xu Yang went back and browsed through those reports and the information about the mining company.

It was mentioned that the excavation work was extremely smooth at the beginning. Although no fossil energy was found, many ancient treasures were dug up, which seemed to be related to the ancient witch council.

Immediately afterwards, the excavation work was interrupted abruptly.

This was two weeks ago.

"They didn't dig it down..."

"On the issue of sphere of influence, Kyoto Infinite does not want people from the Near East to dig up the ancient species of infinite value from their territory. The confrontation is too fierce, and no one will let anyone. Ancient witches... The witches of that era were not the **** and slaves of modern times. Comparable to killing weapons, they were worshipped as gods in ancient times."

"That's our goal." Xu Yang's heart filled with excitement.

The witch is a strategic resource in this era, more deterrent than nuclear weapons.

The most powerful of them can not only directly resist or absorb the power of nuclear weapons, but can even "change" the matter of launching nuclear weapons, that is to say, has the energy to operate the law of causality.

The extremely rare ancient living witch is definitely worth more than a big company itself.

"Just rely on us?" Xu Yang responded.

"Kyoto Unlimited submitted an application to the company alliance. When you eat noodles, the company alliance is already considering her attribution. There is a small window during this period, and there are about 12 hours left."

"I mean, it's just 'us'?"

"Don't worry," Mateo smiled, "I also have a 'company' behind me. What I need is efficiency and ability. Who would have thought that Aizu City, which is just a short distance away, can find a master with a digital mind. for the money to buy battle robots."

It turns out that it was a large third-party company or a giant enterprise that took a fancy to the witch's resources. Xu Yang silently analyzed. It is undoubtedly extremely dangerous to be exposed to this matter, but it is even more distressing to miss the opportunity at hand. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

"If the money problem is solved, I will be in place." Xu Yang said.

"I'll give you one now." Mateo pushed a bearer cash card from the table.

Xu Yang picked up the cash card and opened the digital display. The upper right corner showed 10,000,000, which was 10 million in funds.

10 million in hand!

Don't be too excited. If it is expected, there will be 90 million waiting for you.

"How can I make sure you won't be silenced?" Xu Yang said.

"How is that possible." Mateo said, "We need you, we need you to crack the external facilities of the excavation site, and solve the hidden traps inside. You are also required to clean up the traces and hack a few machines when you get out. Drones. Instead of saying we're going to kill you, we have to worry about when you're going to report us indefinitely to Kyoto."

"Then you can trust me, right?"

"Hey." The black man shook his head, "I definitely believe it."

"how?"

"You're short of money, brother."

Speaking of which, I went to my heart, and I worked hard.

And I looked unfamiliar with the industry. He guessed that I had just escaped from a large company and would not return to work with them. I really can't make a public appearance right now. Once I'm discovered, my brain will definitely be dug up.

At any time, what a company needs is a person's labor, not a person's personal pursuits, values ​​and ideals. Those things that cannot be realized in the company, I want to find outside the company.

"Let's go." Xu Yang said, "When will you act?"

"Don't forget we only have 12 hours, if you want me to say, right now."

"Very good." Xu Yang got up.

The way of life in the past is far away.
