Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 131: She Might Be the Most Perfect Test Subject

Chapter 131: Chapter 131: She Might Be the Most Perfect Test Subject

The bodyguard happened to bring over a water cup, the man stopped talking and gestured for Ji Ning to go ahead, then picked up his coffee and took a sip.

Ji Ning glanced at the water cup, didn’t drink, still crossed her arms and quietly watched the man.

The man didn’t mind either, after finishing his coffee, he put down the cup and continued, "I mentioned earlier that 80% of this world is made up of ordinary people, including the academician from the institute who proposed the 728 Plan. Although elites make up 20%, the progress and production of society still rely on the 80% ordinary people. Unlike the Pareto principle, many of our elites are ordinary people without superpowers. They want to become superpower users but also fear those superpower users who come from the bottom. The academician grasped the psychology of these elites and proposed the 728 Plan."

"Implanting chips in the brain to become a superpower user? What a joke," Ji Ning sneered.

The man was amazed by Ji Ning’s astuteness, his eyes full of delight.

"You’re very smart, you immediately saw through the essence, but you don’t understand human greed. Once you’ve seen the view from the top of the mountain, you won’t want to come down. Besides, at that time, the institute indeed made significant progress in the research on human superpower awakening. They discovered that the brains of people with superpowers secrete a substance that stimulates the transmission of signals in the central nervous system. The pineal gland, known as the third eye of the human body, is also activated. Someone suggested artificially stimulating the brain to secrete that substance, which might increase the probability of ordinary people awakening superpowers. Their extensive experiments found it indeed enhanced the superpower awakening rate."

Ji Ning’s face remained expressionless, and she replied, "So they combined the two studies."

"Exactly, using chips to activate the brain to secrete that substance and enhance human superpower awakening. This was a very advanced study thirty years ago and was highly regarded by the upper class. Later, that academician also suggested that if superpower users implanted chips, it would enhance their superpower capabilities. So, most superpower users voluntarily participated in the experiment, with chips implanted at the back of their heads."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ning narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze gradually turning cold, "This experiment looks like it’s for the benefit of humanity, but it’s still the trap of the elites."

"Exactly, ordinary people want to become superpower users and implant chips, superpower users want to enhance their powers and implant chips, and this tiny chip is actually a top-secret weapon for controlling people’s minds. Those elites have played with people’s hearts to the extreme..."

The man seemed to think of something, with a hint of disdain in his tone.

"So the cause of death for that superpower user wasn’t the crossbow arrow in the chest, but that chip?" Ji Ning asked knowingly.

"Exactly. That chip is like a small bomb buried in the human brain; once the chip is destroyed, the brain can die instantaneously, and outsiders won’t see the cause of death."

"Afterward, you can secretly remove the chip remnants from the back of his head, silently eliminating a superpower user."

Seeing Ji Ning’s displeased expression, the man smiled and said a few comforting words, "This was the best for him, saving him from suffering at the hands of those people. Besides, this chip not only has a remote self-destruct function but also reads and records everything seen by the eyes through the retinal nerve. For our safety, we had no choice but to destroy the chip."

What he said was quite honest, and Ji Ning had nothing more to say.

The room was momentarily quiet.

Until the man’s work phone suddenly rang.

The man, unguarded against Ji Ning, picked up the phone to answer.

"Hello, oh, it’s President Sun... Now? Sure, I’m right here in 3412."

After the man hung up, Ji Ning stood up to leave, but the man stopped her.

"In a while, the Sun Family from Beijing will come to discuss the acquisition, why don’t you listen in too."

Ji Ning was a bit surprised that this man was actually the owner of the Marriott Hotel.

But she kept her composure and directly refused, "No. I agreed to join you to figure out the chip issue. I can save you once as thanks for solving my queries, but beyond that, I won’t help you with anything else."

The man’s smile didn’t fade nor did he seem surprised, as if he had known all along she wasn’t genuinely joining them, "Alright, if you have any doubts in the future, feel free to ask me. I’m always open, but for a price."

"Fine."

The man laughed heartily, "My name is Ke Chen, you can find me here. Just don’t bring any official people."

Ji Ning chuckled back with a bit of rogue, "But don’t fall into my hands!"

After Ji Ning left, Ke Chen’s gaze gradually darkened.

His confidant immediately stepped forward, gesturing at his neck, "Sir, do you need me to take care of her?"

Ke Chen glared at him, "Do you want to die too?"

"But she’s just a ticking time bomb, it might go off any day. Moreover, she has ties to the Bai Family, Lin Family, and Fu Family. This is very disadvantageous for us," the confidant said worriedly.

"No need to say more, be more cautious in your actions. As she said, don’t mess with people around her."

"Sir!"

Ke Chen’s eyes turned sharp, and his confidant immediately shut up.

Ke Chen took another cigar from the box next to him and said calmly, "The master’s plans cannot be disrupted; she might be the perfect specimen."

And Ji Ning, who Ke Chen regarded as a specimen, pulled down her hat brim and stepped into the elevator, just as Sun Yazhu and her party missed her.

As soon as Sun Yazhu exited the elevator, she received a message.

[Ji Ning: I’ll be waiting for you outside, call me if you need anything.]

Sun Yazhu looked back at the elevator in surprise.

Her assistant asked, "President Sun, is there anything wrong?"

"No, let’s go in first."

This acquisition of the Marriott Hotel was already settled in the preliminary talks; Sun Yazhu was here today just to sign and complete the process.

The documents showed that Ke Chen is the new elite of Anhe City’s upper circle.

Returning from studying in Jiazhou, he had outstanding business acumen, and in just five years, he expanded the Ke Group’s business throughout Anhe and surrounding cities.

The Sun Family was able to acquire the Marriott mainly because Ke Chen wanted to develop in Beijing but needed a guide, and it just so happened Sun Yazhu wanted to invest in Anhe, so he voluntarily ceded some benefits to align with the Sun Family.

Sun Yazhu was well aware and wasn’t too polite with Ke Chen, bargaining hard to maximize her own benefits.

And Ke Chen didn’t procrastinate, showed a humble stance, as if any condition would do as long as the Sun Family would cooperate with him.

Both parties signed and stamped easily.

Seeing Sun Yazhu ready to leave with the contract, Ke Chen couldn’t help but ask her to stay, "President Sun, would you mind having a meal together?"

"No, I have an appointment today, perhaps another day, and when the hotel opens, Mr. Ke must grace us with his presence."

Ke Chen didn’t insist, took a step back politely, "Sure, then I’ll look forward to an invitation from President Sun."

"Absolutely, absolutely."

Having wrapped things up, Sun Yazhu quickly left with her team, as if avoiding some great danger behind her.

"President Sun, this Mr. Ke seems quite generous. You changed the price last minute and he didn’t get upset," the assistant commented, holding the freshly issued hotel and land transfer contracts in awe.

Sun Yazhu laughed and patted him lightly, "You’ve been with me so long, how can you still be so naive?"
