went back to take a shower, almost rubbed off a layer of skin, changed his underwear, and Li Pan used the Xingtian scan to test his physical fitness.

Fourth-level lifeforms.

What kind of standard is this, to put it simply, Li Pan can now enlist those cyborg warriors, such as the MARSMARINE Mars Marine Corps, or go to the underground gladiatorial arena to fight black boxing with those gangsters' prosthetic reformers to make quick money.

In these years, everything is evaluated by the level of science and technology, and the physique of patients, disabled people, and people who need the assistance of instruments to move freely belongs to the first level, and the average normal health status of ordinary people with the assistance of prosthetics is the second level.

And spending some money on limb strengthening, with the help of professional drugs and long-term training, you can reach the peak of human beings, and the third-level life body indicators are basically professional athletes, who can enlist in the army and undertake combat missions of general intensity.

The fourth-level creatures are enhanced creatures that can only be achieved after certain surgeries and biochemical modifications. In fact, this level is generally used to register wild animals, alien pests and various synthetic beasts. Humans who can usually be called fourth-level lifeforms are special forces with special numbers, special armed police officers like three-headed dogs, special agents of the Security Bureau, and elites of the company's security department.

Like those Vortex Gang cyber maniacs that Li Pan encountered, the High Heaven Ninja, and even the Nightkin K, they can all be regarded as fourth-level lifeforms.

After that, of course, it is possible to further distinguish between five and six levels based on the technological prosthetic weapons used by the individual, but to be honest, there is no need.

Because there is a limit to what 'humans' can do.

With 'human' as the standard, the physical sign gap has reached level four, which already belongs to the category of 'superhuman', and then those reinforcements, just the existence itself, have been within the definition of the public safety system, and the deviation value is seriously exceeded, which is a potential safety hazard.

It can only be registered as a biological weapon or a combat prosthetic, and it needs to be approved and reported throughout the process, and according to the Public Safety Law, it is not allowed to use a level 5 or stronger biological weapon on the earth for no reason.

It is absolutely absolutely absolutely not allowed to let such 'creatures' and such 'non-humans' evolve individual self-consciousness, and even link to the QVN security network and share citizenship.

In other words, the fourth-level creatures, this is a watershed, this is not a normal human being, the realm that can be achieved through the so-called 'self-effort', there is a so-called 'genetic lock', an invisible ceiling.

But just now, this ceiling was broken by Li Pan.

I just sat there, breathing, breathing, dreaming, sweating. He's been promoted to level four.

And it's just getting started.

Because according to the standard of the "Nine Yin True Scripture" in Li Pan's hand, he only completed the first turn of the "Nine Yin Refining Form" at the beginning. Completed the first transformation.

Yes, Li Pan would like to call it 'transformation'.

"Nine Yin Refining Form" has a total of nine turns, and in game terms, all attributes can be improved without refining. And in fact, it is not only literally nine turns, because 'nine' is the number of poles, refining to nine turns, you can also keep refining and refining, higher, bigger and stronger.

In this way, in the end, it will be refined into the original appearance of himself that Li Pan saw in his dream.

The god of Zhongshan, the candle dragon and the nine yin.

Yes, he is the candle dragon, and the candle dragon is him.

More or less, Li Pan has 'woken up'.

Although he still can't fully understand the reason and reason, Li Pan knows that whether it is a traverser from the countryside and the earth, or the social animal of 0791, or the god of Zhongshan sleeping in the distant mountains, they are actually essentially the same.

All 'Li Pan' are the same existence, in different latitudes, different planes, parallel universes, projections of the heavens and the earth.

Yes, by the definition of the company, then he is a 'monster'.

It's just that there are some discrepancies, for some reason, he doesn't seem to be a thing, but a person, and it seems that he can also use the silver key to travel through the limitations of time and space, and interact with the reflections of the heavens, just like guessing with himself in the mirror in the middle of the night......

Of course, you don't have to worry too much about being forcibly contained by monster companies, or forcibly expelled or something.

After all, I want to know that this "Nine Yin Refining Form", refining to the full level is not something that can be done in a year or two of hard work, let alone nine turns after the continuous turn......

Moreover, this "Nine Yin Refining Form" is only the first opening outline!

The entire "Nine Yin True Scripture", there are four major volumes at the back!

In each volume, you need to cultivate the "Nine Yin Refining Form" to a certain level, and you can only cultivate if you have enough skills!

So to put it bluntly, this "Nine Yin True Scripture" is the heavenly book of Zheng'er Eight Classics for cultivating immortals!!

But now the problem is, this 0791 Earth is not a world of immortal cultivation rules, but a cyber technology universe!

Is there something wrong with cultivating immortals in the cyber world!

To be able to get the key by mistake, to obtain the true scripture by mistake, to meet a zombie by mistake, to refine him by mistake, so many coincidences can be established is already very good, where can he refine the Dacheng, this is not something he needs to consider now.

But seriously......

"Has Lao Tzu become handsome?"

Li Pan looked in the mirror, I don't know if it's an illusion, but he really feels that after practicing and molting, his skin is better than before, and there is a faint metallic luster.

However, the change is indeed not obvious, and the body data before and after comparison without the system chip cannot be seen at all.

And at present, it seems that it is only the enhancement of physical fitness, Li Pan tried, it seems that he has no other superpowers, and he probably can't fly. What's more, he wasn't used to jumping directly from the windowsill, so he took the elevator.

I met Orange again at the elevator door, she was still sleepy-eyed, she looked very tired, and she only squinted in the middle of the night and went to work again, so miserable......

"Morning, Sister Orange, thank you so much."

The breakthrough this time may be thanks to the other party's stimulation of Li Pan's potential......

"Oh, Lee, morning, thank me? What's wrong? ”

It seemed that she was in a daze, and really didn't remember what happened last night.

"Oh, the psychiatrist you gave has helped a lot when you join the company."

"Oh, yes, congratulations on getting a job, this dress suits you very well, it looks very energetic."

Li Pan casually broke open the elevator door and went in with the orange.

"By the way, you worked overtime last time, so you won't be working until now, right? Don't take two days off? ”

Orange smiled bitterly, "Yamato is going to take the entrance exam, the school is updating the firmware, and I have to buy a new software upgrade package, so I can only endure it recently." ”

Li Pan said with a smile, "Sister Orange, you have helped me a lot, what do you need to tell me, I also have a company guarantee when I join the company, and the loan is interest-free." ”

"Yes, I appreciate your kindness. The tuition is basically settled, and I'm fine. ”

Li Pan smiled and nodded without much persuasion, it can be seen that Orange is a person with a heart like him, and he will not be willing to give in and admit defeat like the world. And she has people who must be protected, but she is much stronger than she seems. Don't worry about her, just help out when you have the chance.

Today is also a big day for Li Pan, the online board of directors. However, compared with a few days ago, Li Pan is much more confident now.

Damn, coddle an egg, it's a big deal to pick a child and don't do it!

Anyway, this month's loan is not a problem, and there is a fourth-level superhuman body, can't you find a job yet? If it's a big deal, go to be a mercenary. I just heard that a group of people have appeared in the Night Capital recently, known as cyberpunk, and the momentum is very violent, maybe they can be blended......

So Li Pan hummed a little song and stepped on the point to come to the conference hall, ready to give a report to the bigwigs of the board of directors.

There was a round table in the middle of the conference room, and the lights came down from the top, a total of twelve, but it was similar to the layout of the living room below.

At least on the face of it, the board of directors and the general manager are equal.

When the time came, Li Pan followed the rules of the meeting.

Turn off the lights.

For a moment, the conference room seemed to be plunged into a void corridor, and the wall door disappeared, leaving only the round table in the middle.

Then snap, snap, snap, the lights came on one by one.

On the seat, there was a projection of a company cadre wearing a formal suit, whose face was not clear, but it was also vaguely a projection of the company cadre wearing a formal suit, and the name tag on his chest was exposed.

'0674 General Manager'

'0213 General Manager'

……

'081 General Manager'

'01 General Manager'

There are eleven people in total, these are the general managers of the monster company, the face branch......

Doesn't it mean that the board of directors is the person of the earth 0......

'01' The general manager spoke,

"0791 subsidiary, the first meeting of managers.

In accordance with the company's regulations, the reporting manager, and those who can participate in the meeting, the order of eleven managers present.

Now it's time to officially start the meeting. ”

Then the eleven people bowed their heads and signed together, and Li Pan saw that a piece of paper also appeared on the round table in front of him.

0791 Branch, 14th Manager (Agent), Memorandum of the First Report Meeting, Balabala, Signature of the Participants.

So he signed his name as well.

The next moment, a light shone down from the center of the round table, and an ultra-old-fashioned semiconductor radio appeared on the table.

Seriously, if he weren't a country plane dirt bun traverser, he would never have recognized this antique thing.

And the general manager of 01 tacitly acknowledged that the newcomer had not seen the world, explaining,

"It's an old-fashioned signal receiver, and the Earth0 Board can now hear you.

0791, please get started. ”

…… Alright then, let's get started.

So Li Pan read the daily newspaper he had written in the past few days.

……

What else can it be, 2,500 yuan a month! Love to play! Don't play roll!

Surprisingly, however, the board of directors and general managers do not seem to have any 'opinions and suggestions' on this unpretentious report.

01 The general manager is indifferent,

"0791, according to the manager's order, I will ask you a question first."

Are you coming, fire squid?

"Employee number 0791002, please describe your personal evaluation of him."

What do you think of Ah Qi?

Li Pan thought about it and read the report again,

"Safe, blue, contained."

At this time, the general manager of 0674 opened his mouth and added,

"0791, personal evaluation, non-written report.

We want to hear your intuition, do you think, can you trust 0791002? ”

Li Pan noticed that the other eleven people were staring at him, and the semiconductor radio was also not letting go, and shrugged,

"You can trust it."

The general manager of 0674 seemed to laugh and said,

"Really? He can't be considered a person in the standard sense, can he? Not a little out of the ordinary? ”

Lao Tzu can't be considered a person in the strict sense, okay?

So Li Pan pretended to think about it,

"Oh, so 0791002 like to watch people drink coffee. I guess it's my hobby before I was alive. ”

0674 General Manager,

“…… Coffee? ”

"Well, whether it's the interest in coffee or the obsession of turning positive, these are not the original concepts of the Guardian, so in a way, it is just guarding the last wishes of the former contractor.

How many real people will care about the last wishes of the deceased? Either way, it's his fetters in the world.

Whether it's a monster or a human, if you have coffee to drink, a job to do, and a home to go back to every day, you won't fall into a state of losing control. ”

081 The general manager opened his mouth to interrupt Li Pan,

"It's an apostle, 0791, do you understand what an apostle means?"

LI Pan,

"Understood. Once the contract is complete, the subject of the death contract will fully awaken and descend. ”

081 General Manager continued to ask,

"Do you know about the 0791 subsidiary, monster number 007, a mess/death bond, and the possible consequences when you wake up."

LI Pan,

"Understood."

081 General Manager,

"Narrative consequences."

LI Pan,

"0791 has a biohazard of level 4 or higher, and the fourteenth species is extinct."

081 General Manager,

"Do you know you're going to take that risk!"

Li Pan stared at him,

"I step on the horse, I don't care."

So the managers stopped talking for a while.

After a while, Manager 0674 coughed twice,

"0791, the original intention of the manager's meeting is to help each other, given the nature of the company's business, all of us need help at times, especially if you are a newcomer, there are very few means to use. So there's no shame in asking for help, and if you ask, I can personally go on a business trip and help you get rid of the trouble, what do you think? ”

Li Pan smiled, can you be soft at this time? You have to hold on to the end with a hard mouth!

"No, don't you just want to guarantee, okay, I'll be responsible, as long as I'm still the general manager, 002 is out of control, I'll dig out my eyeballs and solve it, happy?"

The semiconductor radio sizzled twice.

01 The general manager spoke,

"The Board agrees with your judgment."

LI Pan,

“…… Thank you all for your support? ”

01 The general manager spoke,

"Any more questions?"

It seems that everyone else is okay...... Nonsense, in fact, this issue can be discussed!

But Li Pan immediately seized the opportunity to speak,

"I'm asking for a promotion and a raise!"

01General Manager,

"The salary requirements of managers should be submitted to the personnel department of the head office by themselves, and they will not be discussed in the report meeting.

Above, signed, adjourned. ”

So everyone signed for a while, and then turned off the lights for a while.

Soon, the arc light band of the round table conference room lit up again and returned to the conference room, and the table was empty except for Li Pan.

…… That's it? And that's the end of it?

It seems that the general manager of Zhutian is quite busy.

Li Pan returned to the office area, and the memo of today's meeting had been sent by fax machine.

MR007 is holding a sign,

'Thank you manager for your trust, I will not let you down!' ’

Li Pan patted it on the shoulder,

"In the future, it will be enough to give me a cup of coffee, my nerves are still quite sensitive, and I can't sleep at night after two cups."

At this moment, the fax machine suddenly burst out, buzzing and spitting out a large pile of paper.

"This, what's the ......?"

Li Pan picked it up and looked at it, there are about four categories.

The first type is sent by the company's business department, 'monster containment mission'.

The main thing is to detect all kinds of new 'suspected targets' and 'suspicious events', time, place, people, combat power evaluation and analysis, in short, to get valuable information, so to check, it's really a monster to 'contain'.

The second category is sent by the company's finance department, 'monster procurement budget'.

In fact, it is also contained, but the difference from the first category is that these monsters are already 'famous'. Moreover, most of the people who can hold the 'monsters' are competitive forces at the company level, and given the characteristics of the monsters themselves, these forces may have been guarded against, and they probably won't be handed over easily.

Therefore, the Ministry of Finance has provided a special operation budget for these monsters, as for whether it is 'negotiation', 'procurement' or 'theft' or 'robbery', the company can't control it, the company only needs 'monsters'.

Moreover, this kind of 'budget' is actually closer to 'bounty', and every time a mission fails, the 'bounty' or 'budget' will increase, and the evaluation will naturally increase after completion.

The third category is sent by the company's logistics department, 'monster escort commission'.

In addition to normal transaction delivery, other companies will also issue orders for warehouse rental. For example, transfer the high-risk monsters of the plane to other companies for containment.

After all, even if it is the same kind of monster, the rules, strength, and difficulty of containment will change in different planes. Containment and storage of monsters in the most efficient way is also a part of the cost consideration.

The fourth category is proposed by the company's technical department, 'monster development assistance'.

This is also the most problematic part, which is to transport the monsters under research to different planes in different universes for research, explore their properties, and develop and utilize functions.

This kind of voluntary death behavior is also the most likely to be out of control.

Li Pan looked at the piles of tasks, and was speechless,

"No, whatever! Why are there so many all of a sudden! Depend on! I think this fax machine must be out of control! Ah Qi! Drag it down for containment! ”

MR007 hurriedly grabbed Li Pan, who picked up the bench and tried to beat the fax machine, and wrote in the notebook,

'You have passed the assessment, you have the qualities that the company values, and the board of directors is satisfied with you. ’

"Quality? Shielding subordinates or daring to take the blame? ”

The most important quality of the company is the cold and ruthless heart.

Only people who can care about the consequences and do not care about the destruction of their homes can be qualified as company managers.

In fact, most of the former managers of 0791 did not have this quality, otherwise they would not have been replaced repeatedly. ’

Oh, that's because he doesn't think of this hanging world as his 'home'......
