Chapter 11 Appraisal

'The trial of the formal/guardian is to explore the inner and explore the soul essence of the host, so that the guardian and the host can achieve a soul bond, and the potential of the host can be stimulated. ’

'The Formal Wear/Guardian will accompany the host into the deep inner world, reaching the bottom of the soul to find the original longing wishes of the host, and confirm the root of the host's wish to protect. ’

Only by understanding what is most important to the host's soul can the suit/guardian enter into a contract with the host and draw on the host's power to protect the treasured things and realize the evolution of the guardian's body. ’

Mr007 touched Li Pan's formal clothes, and wrote on the memo,

'Your Suit/Guardian has been activated, but the trial doesn't seem to be successful. I don't know what I saw in your spirit world, the Guardian was frightened. For the time being, it will not be able to conclude a contract with you and give it its full strength. ’

Li Pan also noticed that his formal clothes could feel the temperature when he touched it, full of vitality, and when he was touched by Mr007, the hair on his collar exploded, was it really frightened by his dream? After all, if you put yourself in his shoes, he probably doesn't fit in when a zombie comes up and touches his face......

Wait, did he ignore something?

Well...... I can't think of it, so I don't care, I worry about my own affairs first.

“…… So you're saying that the dream reflects the inner world of 'me'? ”

Lao Tzu feels quite normal, huh? It's obviously blue, it doesn't seem to be that crazy, right?

'Would you like to try again?' That also requires a silver key. ’

Li Pan recalled the giant snake with his face, and he didn't tremble for a while.

"Next time, take a break."

In short, according to Mr007's explanation, that dream seems to be a portrayal of his soul side, the black dog is a formal wear/guardian, and the snake symbolizes some kind of spiritual projection in Li Pan's heart, potential, desire, long-cherished wish, longing, and other symbolic meanings, so the snake head has his face......

But what the hell is "Nine Yin True Scripture"...... And why can you take it out of your dreams...... Why is it only he who can see ......

Li Pan relied on the system to translate word by word on the Internet, and even spent money to open an ancient Chinese dictionary to translate the "Nine Yin True Scripture" into a version that he could understand.

This seems to be some kind of qigong practice, the kind of martial arts cheats that often appear in novels.

Of course, it's cyberpunk this age, and no one has read text-only novels anymore. Anyone can easily choose their favorite world settings and scripts in a variety of virtual online games and Mewtwo movies, and they can do anything for the money.

According to Mr007, Guardians can help hosts find their deepest desires and treasures, unleash their guardianship potential, and serve as a conduit to exert true power.

Could it be that deep down in his heart, he longs to become a martial arts master? Is there something wrong with practicing martial arts in the cyberpunk world of Tonima......

In short, according to Li Pan's own speculation, it may be because he is essentially an ancient traverser, so deep in his soul, the subconscious desire for power still appears in the form of martial arts cheats, indicating that he hopes to obtain the power of self-preservation in this chaotic world.

So, maybe as long as he cultivates the Nine Yin True Scripture well, the formal suit/guardian will be able to conclude a contract, right?

But it's very difficult, the translation of the "Nine Yin True Scripture" Li Pan has also read it carefully, the various meridians, acupoints, breathing, and luck in it are so complicated that a dictionary of ancient Chinese is not enough at all, Li Pan estimates that he has to buy some ancient books such as Taoist treasures to study again.

The head office has sent an appointment for a video conference, and the board meeting is expected to be in the conference room in three days to hear your initial report, and you should probably prepare in advance, do some inventory counts and annual business plans or something. ’

MR007 holds up the memo suggesting.

"Three days later? Oh number 14...... ! Isn't that the day before the repayment is settled? Lie down and don't want to fire me squid......"

Li Pan immediately became alert.

It seems that the matter of practicing has to be put aside first, and you have to make a PPT first.

Li Pan preliminarily estimated that he had to first take stock of the various businesses of the monster company in the warehouse, and sort out the losses caused by the complete destruction of the previous generation of employees.

By the way, speaking of which......

"007, do you remember why you ...... 'deleted'?"

MR007 writes on the memo.

'All past records and memories have been erased. ’

Well, too, 007 can be kept purely because of the paper jam, and the other party is considered to be 'resurrected from the dead', so there is probably nothing.

Then Mr007 wrote.

But judging by the memo, most containment failures in the past have occurred in the Technical Department, and you should probably start there. ’

"Oh? Technical Department? ”

There are 12 doors in the front desk living room, which are directly connected to the general manager's office, conference room, office area, personnel department, technology department, logistics department, business department, server room, room temperature warehouse blue area, constant temperature warehouse yellow area, refrigerated warehouse red area, and elevator.

In fact, if you look at it from the plane, the personnel department, the office area, and the general manager's office are on the first floor, and only one door can be placed. But probably taking a shortcut from the corridor/dimensional rift, and taking these two steps less is also some kind of general manager benefit, who knows......

The names of these places are also quite obvious, the elevator is the only entrance and exit with the outside world, and it will be offline from the public network when you come in.

The three warehouse areas correspond to red, yellow, and blue rated monsters, and are temporary monster shelters until numbered containment procedures are ready, and by the way, Mr007 is currently living in a refrigerated warehouse.

As for special-purpose spaces such as conference rooms and server rooms, only the General Manager and authorized ministers have access to them.

The rest of the personnel department, technology department, logistics department, and business department are the main departments under the company's manager.

The personnel department is responsible for recruiting new people and managing files, and the company has a total of five levels of salary from temporary workers, regular employees, cadres, ministers, to general managers. Temporary workers start for three years, and in addition to the salary of regular employees, they already have the right to keep a monster rated yellow for a long time, and generally speaking, the first monster of regular employees is the formal wear/guardian.

Regular employees are promoted to cadres after successfully completing a certain number of tasks, and cadres are usually responsible for the management of one or more numbered warehouses. All kinds of business of the company are completed by the cadre leader, and the cadres also have the right to apply for monsters and control the use of temporary workers.

Because the monster company is often dissatisfied, and the mortality rate of temporary workers during the internship period is high, the survivors are basically the elites who can be directly promoted to cadres, so the cadres are good regular workers, most of them are seconded in four departments, all kinds of tasks are covered, and all kinds of work have to be done.

When the positions of general manager and four department heads are vacant, they are all taken over by the most experienced, most experienced and oldest cadres.

In addition, relatively speaking, when a cadre is promoted to the position of head of the four departments, because a considerable degree of authority will be opened, unlike the general manager who sometimes really draws passers-by, it is necessary to strictly evaluate and approve the board of directors.

Given the experience and ability they have gained along the way, they naturally have a considerable degree of autonomy, and at the same time, it may also be a means used by the head office to prevent the general manager from becoming bigger, and these ministers can even report directly to the board of directors on a regular basis, and may participate in joint actions across the heavens and faces.

However, considering the monster's own risks and troubles, it is not so much a check and balance for office politics as it is that the general manager really needs some right-hand man to take charge of one side, otherwise a major containment loss that leads to the destruction of the world may occur if one is not careful.

Now Li Pan hopes that the head office will quickly parachute in a few ministers from other worlds to help him share the chores. Although Mr007 reminds me from the side, you can still call if you don't understand, but the problem is that Mr007 is now a temporary worker, and he is a dead apostle identified as red, and most places cannot be entered. And sometimes I don't know if I ask three questions on the phone. So Li Pan had to go around the office one by one.

Among these four departments, relatively speaking, the office area of the personnel department and the logistics department is the safest, because although the logistics department is nominally responsible for the warehouse management of the monster, but in fact, the monsters are numbered outside the warehouse, and it is more for the tax bureau to inspect, handle some normal transactions, and monitor the status of each warehouse.

On the contrary, the technical department, because it will be responsible for researching and identifying some new monster characteristics, it is easy to lose control of containment and the like. In the field, some employees will hide some weapons and props, and even borrow functional monsters such as 'pens/strong evictions' in stock for various purposes, which are also part of the security risks.

So Li Pan had to search for a department, an office, and a document bag, and worked for a morning to sort out the office area, the personnel department, and the logistics department, and the technical department and the business department of the majority were still early.

"It's so troublesome! Didn't you beep! Now, do you want to sweep the monster out directly? ”

Landline said,

"Yes."

Li Pan felt incredible, "Didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Landline," you didn't ask. ”

Li Pan, "@#¥¥**&XX! ”

Landline, "Don't curse." ”

The Headquarters' room-temperature warehouse is a safe zone that is identified as blue on a daily basis, and some of the usual office supplies are kept, or they are so powerful that they can do less damage to humans than a pistol, or monsters that can be contained in the safe zone.

In addition, if there are monsters that have been around for a long time, the employees have sufficient corresponding means and simple and effective containment procedures, or the functions are really easy to use, and they need to be borrowed frequently in the daily business process, if they are placed in the yellow zone, it is too troublesome to fill out the application procedures and use reports, and they are directly moved, in short, they are such reasons.

So Li Pan quarreled with the landline, and after asking the route, he came directly from the hall to the room temperature warehouse, and entered from the entrance corridor, and he would go directly to a blue-lit elevator.

There are eight floor number buttons in the elevator, the bottom is the front desk parlor F0, and the other seven floors are lined up from F43 to F49.

It seems to be compiled along the 42 external warehouses, and it is similar to the warehouse, even if it is a monster identified in blue, it is kept separately on each floor.

Li Pan came to F48, came out of the elevator, this whole floor is an empty white office area, far away to put a desk, on the desk is a thick notepad and a landline.

Li Pan stepped forward and opened the notebook to sign, he could clearly see many signatures, it was clear that they were employees who had been deleted before, and they had time to borrow and return F48. Although he could see the dates, he couldn't recognize the names, as if his brain couldn't process the information when he saw a foreign text he didn't recognize.

Li Pan didn't care much, after filling in the information, the landline rang over the bell.

"The application has been processed."

So Li Pan opened the drawer, and there was a pocket watch and an electronic watch in the drawer.

The pocket watch was a vintage mechanical watch with a brass case and a chain. And the electronic watch is the electronic square of the rubber strap, both of which are antiques even in the 21st century.

Of course, this is not the plot of the river god asking the boy, did you drop this Kabeeo, or this Pei Pihai.

Li Pan held the phone between his neck, put the electronic watch on his wrist, and started to time the timer while holding the pocket watch in his hand.

"Pocket watches/identification,

Identified, yellow, controllable.

Pocket watch/identification, which can identify monsters in the area.

After removing the pocket watch/appraisal, the timer of the pocket watch/appraisal begins.

When there is a monster within the perceived range of the pocket watch/identification, the pointer will speed up.

The closer you are, the faster the pointer travels.

The higher the number of monsters, the faster the pointer will travel.

The higher the monster risk, the faster the pointer will travel.

When the minute hand also begins to move at a speed visible to the naked eye, it can basically be determined that the monster is red.

Note that the pocket watch/identification will increase the rate of aging, and the user's corresponding maximum health will be deducted at the same time, and cannot be reset. ”

Li Pan took a pocket watch and saw that the second hand was ticking, which was obviously much faster than the electronic watch to read the second. That's normal, after all, he's wearing 'formal attire/guardian' right now.

Deduct the upper limit of life, it doesn't matter, if you really want to dwell on this, cheap food additives and preservatives will deduct your 'upper limit of life', and a stray bullet flying on the side of the road can directly deduct you to the light.

So he hung the 'pocket watch/appraisal' on the formal wear, and Li Pan took the elevator to the business department to go around first.

The business department is relatively large, with three floors above and below, in addition to the office area that is one after another staff office cubicles, there are also private offices specially allocated to cadres, as well as personal containers that can store personal belongings, guns, ammunition and equipment and instruments. So every time you open the door, you have to be mentally prepared for an out-of-control monster on the other side of the door.

But with these two watches, Li Pan didn't have to rush to the door like the CQB assault team, so he took the blue, yellow and red stickers, stood at the door of each office for a minute, and then put on the stickers of the corresponding colors.

After all, now he doesn't even have a gun in his hand, so he can't clean it up at all, and even if it's a blue room, maybe the employees pay special attention to personal privacy and have a grenade tied to the doorknob......

In this way, the business department was quickly sorted out, and about six yellow monsters were found, and they were also numbered and recorded in turn.

In the end, the technical department was basically left.

The technical department is really a bit troublesome, because it is responsible for the application development of monsters, in addition to the research of monsters, there are also various technical materials, as well as various experimental equipment that simulates extreme environments and clones of experimental subjects.

Well, yes, there is information in the general manager's computer, monster companies illegally breed clones for monster testing, in fact, most companies are illegally using clone targets, these cloned human bodies are genetically coordinated, and growth hormone is played, from birth to adulthood to death, it is only three or five days, it is really a piece of meat.

However, the Science Ethics Committee naturally prohibits this kind of behavior by law, and the companies found will be heavily fined by the tax bureau, of course, it is difficult to say whether the top is for the ethics legislation or for the fine legislation.

In fact, Li Pan thinks it's difficult to define whether the act of cloning people is considered 'unethical evil', after all, when researching monsters, you don't need to clone people to use temporary workers, you have to choose one anyway.

What? A guinea pig?

Considering that the experimental biological license should be auctioned, the quarantine and inspection qualification certification should be renewed, and the pharmaceutical biology was monopolized, it was actually cheaper for temporary workers.
