Hannibal still didn't have a knife for Albert in the end.

Nowadays the Lane Badge subdivides the awards, and Hannibal and Albert are not in direct competition.

Sometimes, it's never too late to go for the knife!

Albert went to the third floor and met Mr. Lutdon, who was reading the newspaper.

When Ludon saw Albert coming, he put away the game console under the newspaper and asked casually,

"It's all settled?"

"Hmm."

Albert nodded, walked to the wine cabinet, and took a bottle of wine from his hand.

He first poured two glasses of wine, then glanced at Ah Wu next to him, took out a third cup, and poured out a glass of water.

After a little water of wine, Albert found an armchair and sat down, a little tired,

"Mr. Ludon, I didn't expect this to be so difficult."

"The more you hold on to and the more you want, the harder things will be."

Ludon took a sip of wine and said leisurely,

"And you're too inflexible."

"Flexible?"

Albert looked at Mr. Ludon and waited for the next step.

For Albert, Ludon is willing to say a few more words,

"Take today's incident as an example, you can give young people a position in the company, let me think about it, you can call it an economic consultant, you can also call it a risk management specialist, whatever you want to call it.

His expenses can be borne by the company, including security, which will at least save you a certain amount of money, won't it? ”

"It's not about the money, Mr. Luden."

Albert hesitated a little and asked tentatively,

"And, take the company's money to do these things. Is it really suitable? ”

Ludon smiled,

"What's out of place? As long as the input-output ratio is sufficient, as long as there is a relatively clear expected return, the company is willing to invest in anything. Back then, in Qiyun, the noose sold well, cough cough, I mean, income! The focus is on profit, you know, we are after profit! ”

Ludon believed that the other party's book would sell well.

And the company, as the copyright owner of the book, will make a lot of money on royalties!

Not only that, but Ludon is also preparing to convince the old king to put the copyright protection law on the agenda and extend the statute of limitations as much as possible.

In short, compared with the expected returns, this meager investment is not worth mentioning!

Albert still felt that something was wrong, taking money from him privately, and paying money from the company, the nature was too different.

"Are you worried that money is corrupting your friends?"

Seeing Albert's concern, Ludon pointed out sharply,

"If this can corrode, it means that your friend does not have the ability to see through the essence of the problem. Money is money, a universal equivalent, nothing more, it does not corrode the soul of man. ”

Hearing this, Albert smiled with relief,

"You have a point."

He did not stay long, and quickly took his leave.

Awu, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, asked coldly after Albert left,

"To whom do you intend to give eternal life, Mr. Luden?"

If nothing else, this time, there will still be two places for immortality.

And, because of Mr. Lutden's very harmonious daily life, this time he did not have an overly intimate female companion. …

Therefore, it is equivalent to two places still empty.

This is a secret that everyone knows, and they avoid talking about it.

It wasn't until today that Awu took the initiative to ask.

This question is probably best asked by Awu.

Ludon asked rhetorically,

"Who do you think should be left to it? Phuket priest? ”

"Nope."

Awu shook his head and explained,

"Every Phuket priest takes an oath to renounce eternal life when he takes office."

Give up eternal life?

Luden can understand the ritual sense of this behavior, but he can't quite understand it, can the other party really do this kind of thing?

They are not talking about money, not possessions, not about fleeting pleasures, but about the most tempting fruit in the world—eternal life.

As an eternal, Awu should be very clear about the charm of these two words.

"His lifespan after being converted to an immortal species is not short."

Awu continued,

"Moreover, before he dies, he can choose to back up his neurons and upload them to the new world to be another level of 'immortality'."

New world?

This is the first time Luden has heard Awu mention this word.

Regarding what happened to Qiyun back then, the empress didn't like to mention it, and Lu Deng didn't ask about it.

Let him pass everything that has passed.

Uploading human brains is not difficult for Qiyun.

This also explains another of Ludon's doubts very well.

When Qiyun was destroyed, many of the 'dead' people should have uploaded themselves.

They gave up everything in the real world in exchange for immortality in the electronic world.

This also explains why Qiyun died so quickly, and what happened in the real world frightened many people, who were dominated by fear, threatened with death, and fled into a virtual paradise.

and why the Empress would be the leader of the post-apocalyptic world.

The 'new world' needs to be maintained, artificial intelligence sometimes becomes an artificial retardation, and human beings must enter the new world if they want to continue their existence.

The most suitable person to maintain the 'New World' is none other than the Empress.

She is immortal, and it is only natural that she holds the key to the 'new world' and becomes the helmsman of the new world.

"I haven't figured it out yet."

Ludon gives his own answer,

"Eternal life is a gift and a curse, and there are enough of them right now. Moreover, champagne is a big no-no in the middle of the game. ”

Luden's simulation isn't over yet, and it's hard to say what the final outcome will be.

There may be two places for eternal life, or maybe only one.

Even the choice is not necessarily in Luden's hands.

Back then, in the state of God, everything was under the control of the empress, and Lutdon could carefully design the script and let the actors interpret it according to the script, adding a strong touch to history.

Times have changed.

Luton doesn't make any assumptions until he reaches the perfect ending.

and, Albert, Hannibal, Sr. Todd.

The people Luden encountered in this simulation had a distinctive feature.

By the time Luton met them, they were mature souls.

Such a person, let them accept eternal life, will be very painful and struggling, just like the Empress and Al.

Of the three immortals, only Awu had the easiest process of receiving eternal life. …

The day he was bought, Luton began to pave the way for him, and Al and the Empress raised him as Lundon's son.

With a yawn, Ludon pulled the console out from under the newspaper and played again.

After leaving the orphanage, Albert did not return to his residence, but went to a drug laboratory.

Their lab is home to all the bright brains, and the output here provides more than 30% of the company's profits.

As soon as Albert arrived at the lab, an assistant handed over the latest research report.

"The results of the third phase of the mouse experiment came out, this drug does work very well in treatment, but there is a very small probability that it will cause some abnormal behavior, 2000 mice, 3 of them attacked other mice like crazy, we don't know if this is the effect of the drug"

"The mice in the experimental environment have the probability of going crazy themselves, and this data doesn't say anything."

Albert asked instead,

"All research reports are signed by the responsible person?"

"Yes."

"Where is the Drug Regulatory Institute, where is it determined that the drug can be tested on humans?"

"They even think they can go straight to the market."

Albert shook his head and said indifferently,

"Leave them alone, register a patent, conduct a phase 1 drug trial, indicate possible side effects on the drug, make sure there is no legal wind, and"

As he spoke, Albert suddenly stopped, and he noticed that his assistant was looking at him with a strange gaze.

Albert asked,

"Any questions?"

"Nothing."

The assistant lowered his head, touched his nose, and said embarrassedly,

"I suddenly felt that cough cough maybe it's not good to say that"

Under Albert's gaze, the assistant said what he really thought in his heart,

"You look too much like Mr. Luden."
