Chapter 40: Dr. Morpheus
With a huge sum of 100,000 federal coins, hunger gnawed at Char's stomach again.
Char opens the fast food website.
He knew what it was like to be poor, restrained his desires, didn't squander like an upstart man, browsed for a long time, and finally chose a medium package worth fifty federal coins.
Frugality is a virtue in any era.
A few minutes later, the delivery man knocked on Char's door.
The delivery man is not an android, but a human teenager about Char's age.
Char's holographic bracelet swept the payment code on the boy's chest and gave him five federal coins as a tip.
In the boy's words of gratitude, Char closed the door and enjoyed this hard-won meal.
Steak, broccoli, macaroni...
Although the ingredients of the medium set are synthetic meat and genetically modified vegetables, they are very good and fragrant, which makes Char's mouth water.
After leaving Fort William, Char still hasn't had a proper meal.
Char's food was as good as ever, and as soon as he left the table after he had eaten and drunk, the holographic bracelet sounded a pleasant beep.
A stranger sent Char a video request with the remark "Oneiroi Group".
"Suzanne didn't lie to me, and the Oneiroi Group really took the initiative to contact me to negotiate compensation." Char's heart moved, picked up a napkin to wipe the ketchup from the corner of his mouth, touched the bracelet with his left hand, and clicked the agree button.
An old man in a white researcher's uniform appears in front of Char.
Behind him is a brightly lit oval conference room, and the silver walls are full of technology.
The old man wore black-rimmed glasses, white temples, and a kind face.
"Hello, Char. I'm the head of Oneiroi Group Hope City, Dr. Morpheus. You can call me Doctor, or Morpheus. As you like. "Dr. Morpheus has a gentle attitude, humorous language, and a very friendly smile.
"Hello, Doctor." Char didn't expect that the person contacted by the Oneiroi Group turned out to be the person in charge of Hope City, a respected doctor, who was a little embarrassed for a while.
"Char, in a few minutes, I have another experiment to do, so I'll cut it short. I've already read the report on the matter of Fort William. I'm sorry that due to our negligence, we didn't find out in time that Ender, the android, had awakened to his self-consciousness and was in possession of an extremely dangerous relic. You are lucky to have survived that disaster. On behalf of the Oneiroi Group, I apologize to you once again, and the Oneiroi Group is willing to pay 100,000 federal dollars as compensation to make up for your physical and mental trauma. ”
Dr. Morpheus stood up and bowed slightly to Char.
As a big man in an upper-class city, Dr. Morpheus actually apologized to a small person like Char with an extremely sincere attitude.
Char was a little moved in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Doctor, it's not your fault..."
"We do have a responsibility." Dr. Morpheus's gray eyes stared at Char and said in a deep voice, "I learned from the report that with the help of the Dream Elixir, you successfully evolved and became a Sequence 1 reader. If you remember what happened to Fort William, it means that the drugs injected by the federal agents for you are ineffective. This also shows that you are indeed a Sequence 1 reader. ”
"Doctor, I did become a reader." Char nodded.
"Unbelievable." Dr. Morpheus smiled softly, "Because of your outstanding abilities, and the indebtedness of the Oneiroi Syndicate to you. I can give you a second option! Are you interested in joining the Oneiroi Group and becoming a true dream builder? You must know that it is extremely difficult to enter the Oneiroi Group, and you need to go through layers of screening and assessment... The treatment of the Dream Builder, you should have heard of it, is top-notch in the entire Hope City. Not only can you get paid well, but you can also get the corresponding social status..."
"Doctor... Can I really join Oneiroi Group? Char had long known that the Oneiroi Group would offer this condition, and still pretended to be surprised.
"Of course! You can join Oneiroi Group and become an employee. As for whether or not you can become a dream builder, you have to go through a small test to prove your ability. Dr. Morpheus laughed.
"I do! Of course I do! Char nodded repeatedly.
"I admire young people who have dreams." Dr. Morpheus smiled and said, "The address of the Oneiroi Group, you should know, please arrive before six o'clock in the afternoon, I have arranged for someone to receive you." ”
Syllable...
Holographic video is off.
Char glanced down at the time, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
He originally wanted to buy some self-defense weapons, but it seemed that he was running out of time, so he could only rush to the Oneiroi group first.
Char changed into a clean T-shirt and jeans, put on a canvas bag, and hurriedly left the apartment to catch the subway and rush to the Oneiroi group.
The location of the Oneiroi Group is the upper city of Hope City.
Char was the first to the upper city.
The streets are clean and the pedestrians are well-dressed and have smiles on their faces.
From time to time, floating cars sped by in mid-air, and many wealthy people drove slowly through the streets in old internal combustion engine cars.
The upper city and the lower city of Hope City are two completely different worlds.
One is paradise!
One is hell!
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Char arrived at the Oneiroi Mansion!
He looked up at the pyramid-like skyscraper that was wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, and his heart was shocked.
With 198 floors and 970 meters, Oneiroi Tower is the tallest building in Hope City!
Most of the time, the upper floors of Oneiroi Mansion are hidden in lead-gray clouds, and only when the weather is clear can you get a chance to see it.
At this moment, every floor of the Oneiroi Building is brightly lit, and through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see many white-collar workers in uniform busy.
Char took a deep breath, pushed open the huge revolving door, and walked into the Oneiroi Mansion.
"Sir, is there anything I can do to help you?"
A welcoming lady in a white dress and a white dress greeted her and asked with a smile.
"My name is Char, and I was asked by Dr. Morpheus to come here." Char explained busily.
"Dr. Morpheus?" The welcome lady paused for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "You are talking about the person in charge..."
"Are you Char? Why did you come, I've been waiting for you for a long time. A middle-aged man walked towards Char.
He was wearing a white research coat, thin in stature, with slightly brown eyes and a somewhat old-fashioned expression, which made him look difficult to get along with.
"The subway is late..."Char's cheeks were slightly red, a little embarrassed.
"You young people..."
The middle-aged man walked up to Char, took out a golden pocket watch from his pocket, opened it with a snap, glanced at it and said, "You wasted fifty-four minutes of my time." Let's go, I'll take you on a tour of the Oneiroi Mansion. By the way, you can call me Team Leader Dewey, and I will be your boss from today onwards. I will guide you, train you, and make you a qualified dream builder. ”
