Chapter 229: Brave New World
It's a dream, it's not a dream.
It was I who dreamed of butterflies,
Or the butterfly dreamed of me.
So, am I mentally ill......
Or the butterfly that the special code gave to Lao Tzu???
After squinting a little and peeking at the 0113007's report, Li Pan RS5, who woke up, propped his chin in his hands and fell into the chaotic meaningless philosophical speculation in his mind.
016001 sat across from him, kicked his high heels, cocked his stocking legs, untied his formal clothes, tied his hair, stroked his sleeves, rubbed his hands and started eating!
"Thanks to you, 0791! It's on, it's on! Ah!
New World Galaxy Cruises! Super six-star luxury hotel! Even the set meal is so extravagant!
You see! Such a big lobster! Wow, I've only seen it in museums! That's at least a million for a meal! ”
Li Pan was summoned back to his senses by the black silk and glanced at the bill, "It's okay, eighty." ”
016 sticking out his tongue,
"Regardless, thank you!
Oops, it was supposed to be arranged by my side to escort you to Earth. But the price of Europa is really scary, and I accidentally spent the budget in the past two days......"
Li Pan shrugged,
"It's okay, I've reimbursed enough in the past few days, and occasionally I pay for it, safety first." Just now, I saw a few shareholders of Zhutian Petrochemical staring at me. ”
016 nodded again and again,
"That's that, taking the Jupiter cruise ship back, of course, is safer than squeezing the interstellar bus!
Come! This cup is a toast! Help you enjoy the journey of the cool baboon, succeed in your studies at TUB, turn into a regular as soon as possible, and rise step by step! ”
Li Pan smiled and raised his glass,
"Thank you and I wish you good health."
The sweet sparkling wine slides into the mouth, and the fragrant fruity aroma beats on the taste buds on the tip of the tongue, blooming with the charming taste of a glass of 10,000 pieces.
For a while, Li Pan, who had faded out of his mouth these days, actually wanted to cry a little.
I don't want to go back to 0791...... Lao Tzu holds 300 billion in his hand in 016, and he has a taste in his mouth when he drinks tea, so what kind of nerves do you have when you go back to fight life and death......
016 has already eaten it with a left knife and a right fork, looking like a starving ghost reincarnated.
Li Pan sighed to herself for a while, looking at her starving ghost reincarnation, it was also a little strange,
"Forgive me for being presumptuous, but 016, you are also a regional manager, and your monthly salary is at least a hundred, right?"
016 Gugu rinsed his mouth with sparkling wine, swallowed the lobster steak foie gras blocked in his throat, and nodded,
"Basic salary overtime commission subsidy allowance, one hundred and five before tax."
That is an annual salary of 20 million, Li Pan casually glanced at the credit card bill,
"That year...... Come once in a while, can you afford it? ”
016 Hehe laughs,
"You think too highly of me 0791, but for the sake of you inviting me to eat lobster and live on the cruise, I'll confess. In fact, I am now living on the verge of bankruptcy every month. ”
Li Pan was a little surprised,
"Huh? How so? With an annual salary of 20 million, even in the Heavens and Universes, it can be regarded as a standard middle class, right? Is it because of health insurance?
But doesn't it mean that the general manager and the minister can enjoy the company's company allowance for the A-file and the most S-file package? ”
016 also knew that Li Pan was a newcomer to training, so he didn't mind, while instigating the oil and water on his fingers, he was counting with his fingers.
"The medical allowance has been counted. The company and CIS are bundled with a cooperation agreement, but the S file is also a performance pacesetter to apply, and it is generally a set of A, and if you sign a set of 'worry-free life', it is a monthly medical premium of 1.2 million, pay half by yourself, and the company pays half for you.
However, if you say that you are looking for another medical insurance company, then this welfare company will convert it into half price for you, that is, 300,000 medical insurance subsidies will be discounted to you. Anyway, there is a file cabinet back, I didn't sign it, and I took the money directly, so I have a monthly salary of 1.5 million, okay! How much do you think you can pay overtime?
And this 1.5 million is before tax wow! After deducting all kinds of messy taxes and fees, it will be one hundred and twenty, and then deducting my mortgage and car loan, other commercial insurance, and about eighty flowers, which is indeed enough for daily consumption, but I still have to buy medicine! ”
"Buying medicine? Are you sick too? Ahem sorry, I mean ......"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's superpowered, oh, five million in one shot."
016 didn't mind waving his hand, projecting an advertisement for some kind of drug from Cool Baboon, which appeared to be some kind of disposable needleless injection tube similar to a booster drug, with the name "BABOOBA!! Cool baboon super strong !! ”
At 016 o'clock, I opened the promotional video, and I saw a scrawny teenager, and the subtitles introduced his superpower as 'flying'. I saw that the boy tried his best, floating 3.5 centimeters in the air, and the cool baboon researchers on the side shook their heads, identified as a D-class (disable) disabled person.
Then the researchers took out the "BABOOBA!! Cool baboon super strong !! ", gave the teenager a tube of intravenous injection, and at this moment, the teenager was angry! Transform! The superpower index climbs to the top of the charts! Literally, the ad also gave the researchers a close-up of the test glasses exploding......
And then the teenager whoosh! No, "PENG! ”“HONG!” “PAAAA!” “HUAAA!!” Gotcha, in a burst of exaggerated audio-visual light and shadow effects, fly into the sky! Soar into the sky! Beyond the Storm! Break through the clouds! Turn into a shooting star! Turn into flames!
…… Well, the boy was burned to ashes when he broke through the atmosphere, after all, his superpower is only 'flying'......
Then the lens was pulled back, and the researchers changed the tester, completed the identification, gave a thumbs up, and then the big subtitles popped up.
BA class (BABOO!!) Cool baboon level! Super cool powerhouse! Super Crazy Cool Cock Explosion!!
Li Pan finished reading the advertisement with the expression of the old man looking at his mobile phone.
"What the hell ......"
016 gnawed on the pig's trotters, and moved his fingers to project a table. It says Superpower Classification.
D-Class (Disable) incapacitated
C-level (Capable) imbeciles
Class B (Beneficial) capable person
A-level (ACE) elite ability
Superior superpower
BA class (BABOO!!) Cool baboon level! Super cool powerhouse! Super Crazy Cool Cock Explosion!!
"The super energy classification is actually very early, that is, the standard has to be from D to S, it is not so complicated, just take the scientific and technological strength and copy it.
The BA level is added by the Cool Baboon Group itself, and it can also be regarded as a sixth-level super enhancement of the company's technology super customization. As you can see, this effect is so exaggerated. As long as there are super genes and potential, one needle will break through the boundary. ”
016 wiped his hands, drank wine and introduced,
"Every world has special products, implants, androids, Chimera, robots, super mecha space battleships or something, and we are here, it is naturally a superpower, and a super energy enhancer, 'cool baboon super strong'.
The most important thing for a superpower is, of course, control. The sense of control over one's own abilities, control over one's feelings, over space, over distance, over speed, over everything. After all, most of the capable people are single-ability people, and if a teenager like this one can't control his power at all, he will either be completely unable to exert his power, or he will simply lose control, causing his own rampage and death.
But on the other hand, control can be acquired through long-term professional training, but the upper limit of superpower potential depends on how much medication your mother took when she was pregnant with you, which is written into the DNA from the mother's womb.
Therefore, the vast majority of people, throughout their lives, no matter how hard they work and how they train, can only swing at the C level. If you haven't awakened the ability of grade B or above in adolescence, and you don't have the money to buy medicine for surgery, you basically don't need to consider taking the road of superpower stars.
What's more, in these years, no S-class A-level can compare to BABOO!!
Whether you fight or not, how many 'cool baboons are super strong', directly determines the outcome of the superpower fight, we who buy medicine at our own expense, what do we take to sign an official contract with other people's cool baboons, and the big star battle with unlimited supply of medicine is not.
I don't eat or drink, and I have to save half a year to buy a 'cool baboon'. You have to prepare one or two bionic bodies for emergency, no matter how cheap VK is, the cost of millions is indispensable. Alas, in debt......"
Li Pan nodded and understood. No matter how peaceful the world is and how idle the company's business is, it is still managing the inventory of monsters, not to mention that there are so many local superpowers and big companies in the sky, maybe there will be all kinds of troubles.
"I see, so although there is a superpower system, it doesn't really make any difference, in the final analysis, it still burns money......
But in this case, 016 your body is a superpower, right? Can you ask what your abilities are? ”
"I'm an all-powerful person, of course, I don't mean that I really have all abilities, that is, more than five B-level abilities."
Probably for the sake of this big meal, 016 didn't hide it, sucked his fingers and began to count,
"Flight, telekinesis, short-range flash, super strength, super reflexes, super physique, fast healing, heat control, magnetic control, gravity manipulation......
One, two, three, well, these ten abilities are S-level. Because I have an A-level ability copy, and there are some messy B-level abilities that I haven't practiced much, so I can't remember clearly. ”
Li Pan's jaw fell,
",?? Wait, wait! You're so strong with black silk!? ”
016 gave him a blank look, and replaced the black silk with a warped one,
"What do you think, no matter what, I'm also the 001 of the local representative company! I graduated from the first place in the superpower college, and the official contract between the captain of the cool baboon and the company was placed in front of me for me to choose! Until now, I've been voted by the people as the eighth of the top 10 strongest S-class superpowers of all time! ”
Probably in order to show that he didn't drink too much and brag, 016 also sent photos and videos, this is a woman wearing a superpower bodysuit, and the hero code name is 'Super Almighty Superwoman'.
Her own figure and appearance are similar to the current VK prosthetic body of 016, after all, there is an additional cost to change the appearance. But I'm older.,It's the kind of milf.,Ahem,Milf,Ahem,Ahem.,Mature woman.。 You can search for a lot of the same people and books on the Internet.,Ahem!
In short, 'Almighty Superwoman' is indeed a very famous and powerful superpower in the 016 locals, and she has been fighting weirdos from her awakening in elementary school until she graduated from college.
However, she joined the company after graduation, so she has not appeared in the public eye for a long time, and the people have speculated that she was captured by the evil weird group or the company's chaebol, cough cough cough! It is speculated that as soon as she graduated, she retired and returned to her hometown to get married......
But with this kind of popularity, if she joins the cool baboon team, she will definitely be a popular star. I'm afraid that it's not just a casual endorsement of stockings, and the advertising fee will be soft!
Li Pan couldn't understand,
"Then why did you come to work in the company???
016 also sighed, so depressed that he shook his hair and took a pig's foot,
"Because I was too young, naïve and naïve, I was real, I wanted to change the world......"
Li Pan seemed to understand a little, and silently toasted her.
"You've worked hard."
Probably a little drunk, 016 poured a sip and spit bitter water,
"You don't know, 0791! We don't have any extra money, it's all on wages! But there's no lot of work at all!
Just trying to control the monster's annual runaway rate to a performance standard of five percent will cost me my life!
My logistics department has more than 2,000 storage locations! Two thousand! On average, there is a monster rampaging every three days!
I basically live in the company warehouse now! It's been three years! It's been three years since I had the opportunity to travel once!
But I can't do it, can I do it if I don't do it? I'm not in the company, and there will be an extinction crisis in three days!
Just the cool baboons who shoot commercials, they can use a fart! It's hard for me! ”
Li Pan heard a shiver down his spine, and he couldn't help but float through 01044's leisurely words in his mind.
The company's work is endless...... I can't finish it...... I can't finish it......
In the end, 016 also turned his grief and anger into appetite, eating and drinking for a while, and he was drunk with satisfaction.
Li Pan sent her back to the big bed in the luxury cabin to rest, and came to the observation deck by herself, looking at the sea of stars in a daze.
In fact, jumping from Jupiter to the earth is a blink of an eye, but cruises, as you know, are all places where old men and women and Internet celebrities have too much money to spend to check in, and people don't have to go to work, and the money in bank account deposits, bonds, investments, private equity funds, is still jumping up by itself, in short, there is no need to worry, first go around Europa, and then go around the stargate, and then the asteroid belt, Mars, the moon, and the earth, while sightseeing and traveling, eating, drinking and having fun.
I have to say that it's just a few lobsters and a few glasses of wine, and I'm afraid I can't realize the gap.
Only when he really sees the sea of stars in the 016 universe with his own eyes, can Li Pan understand why 0791 is the countryside, the suburbs, the slums, and the garbage dump. And 016 is the core universe of the inner ring.
The first thing that catches your eye is the Titans.
Jupiter Domain, in the orbit of the stargate, densely packed with Titans.
Hundreds, thousands of Titan ships, neatly moored to the stargate, moved slowly, waiting in line to turn around from the stargate. If you ignore the scale, you may even have the illusion that you are in a transportation hub parking lot.
Yes, it's so outrageous, a certain turtle Tianyuan holds three Titans in his hand, and he wants to dominate the world and establish an empire, when the Titans of the Heavenly Giants are blocking the highway intersection, waiting in line to pay the fee and jump the door......
Of course, it's not all made by the Cool Baboons, but there are certainly quite a few.
Why does the company build so many Titans? In fact, it doesn't do anything, it's simple, pure, market competition.
Whether you want a Titan to grab assets, whether to participate in a plane bidding or not to be a Titan, to suppress indigenous rebellions, to enforce the Purification Agreement, to participate in corporate wars, to hold fleet battles, Titans are indispensable everywhere.
I can't live without a Titan if you have a Titan, and I can't help but follow you if you build a new ship or a new ship, not to mention those old models, no matter how they are Titans, even if they have experienced war, they are not so easy to be sunk, and they can be used after a major overhaul, and few can build them themselves, which is much more valuable than ordinary dreadnought aircraft carriers.
Anyway, the Titan production line is also placed there, and it will be depreciated if it is not built, and it can not only be shipped in wartime, but also converted into the company's assets, that is, it can avoid taxes and not depreciate, so one by one, and the dumplings will roll up.
So hundreds of thousands of ships, the accumulated Titan fleet was thrown at the star gate, ready at all times, until one day there was a big battle and the heavens were destroyed.
And when the cruise ship glides across the sky and jumps into the asteroid belt, you can see all kinds of huge scientific research space stations and interstellar factories in various shapes.
It's not the same as the situation of the miners in 0791, in 016, which can reach 01 with one hop, the center of the center, the inner ring of the inner ring, the core of the core, the primary industry has long been outdated and has been cleared, and now there are large companies everywhere, and factories and laboratories everywhere.
As mentioned above, since the policy of customs inspection is common to all heavens when entering the ring, the asteroid area of each earth is the best industrial area. Semi-finished materials from the heavens and technology from Earth 016 are combined into commodities and dumped.
All this has created the 016 asteroid belt, which can be described as a group of space stations that can be described as mountains and rows, densely packed space stations, each of which has the size of an industrial-grade ship, a dreadnought aircraft carrier, and even the asteroid meteorites in the ring belt, which are aggregated by gravitational restraints and made into a huge fortress of the artificial satellite class, which houses the offices, factories, research institutes and clubs of companies and enterprises from the heavens, and all kinds of production and living facilities.
Spacecraft come and go in accelerated orbits, and interstellar trains usually shuttle between the lighted space stations in ten minutes. The light spots of the PPE engine are dense like a shower of lights, lighting up the dark night sky transparently, and looking from afar, it looks like a long river like a light belt.
Then there's Mars...... Mars has nothing to look at, and it supplies the agricultural food base of the plane. Shipped back and forth are maggots and potatoes, pass.
And then there's the moon.
016 The moon is powerful, 016's moon is wrapped in liquid alloy, and the transformation of the Death Star fortress has been completed, the ordinary moon surface is full of potholes and scars, and the 016 moon is smooth and flat like a reflective mirror.
The mercury-like ocean of metal can absorb solar power, defend against strikes, and be used as railgun ammunition. And in all directions, it slashes the Death-star railgun of the Destroyer-class without dead ends, and inflicts a devastating blow on the Titan.
In addition to the liquid metal moon itself, there are forty-eight small artificial moons in the 016 Earth-Moon Universe.
These forty-eight artificial satellites, like pearl necklaces, are dotted on the periphery of 016 Earth's low-earth orbit, which is not only a complement to the earth's defense system, but also a kind of defense system for the earth. After all, in the eyes of some people, the superpowers on the ground of 016 are also some kind of 'inhuman experimental subjects', and there is no need to elaborate too much.
Finally, there's the Earth.
Earth, how to say 016 Earth, it is really super prosperous.
LEO-PORT 016 has seventy-two artificial rings orbiting inside and out, just like Jupiter's rings!
And this earth is actually super primitive! No! It's beyond the original! It's brand new! The pinnacle of biotechnology! Gaia Earth!
Yes, there are mountains and waters, flowers and birds, the sea, and glaciers.
There are creatures that have gone extinct, and there are creatures that have never existed.
A new Earth! A whole new biosphere! A whole new world!
Well, that's the theme of this cruise.
Why do all the members of the company committee like to set up a university town research institute in 016?
Because of the investment of Cool Baboon, I asked Terra Group to re-transform the environment of 016 Earth.
After all, it can't be changed much, and the chemicals are all polluting the biological gene pool, okay......
Yes, the seventy-two layers of the star ring are actually the slums where the refugees of 016 Earth temporarily live during the overall transformation, and a group of people will be replaced every time the transformation of each block is completed. Now that the renovation is completed, the task of temporary residence of the victims has been completed, and it has been rebuilt into a unique orbital star city and a space star port, and it has become a prosperous commercial and financial center like the central area of the city.
So you can also see that no matter what the company does, it doesn't matter.
What is lacking in these years is not technical power or scientific and technological power at all, but financial resources.
As long as someone is willing to spend money, there is almost no problem that cannot be solved.
P's Pharmaceutical, which caused a big disaster by itself, almost poisoned the population of an earth, but with bankruptcy and reorganization and spending money on transformation, it turned into a cool baboon group, regained a firm foothold, and upgraded 016 from a drug testing ground to become a superpower characteristic tourism earth, and the research center of Zhutian University, which can be regarded as a classic case of successful crisis public relations.
By the way, this time the cool baboon not only turned over by himself, but also pulled a handful of Terra, who was on the verge of bankruptcy because of the 036 Zerg rebellion, and the difficult brothers and brothers passed the test together, so they really didn't give other companies the opportunity to arch out of the committee, and it was a win-win situation......
Yes? What? Since it's all pristine earth, it's Gaia, why hasn't 016 ever seen a lobster?
The question gets to the point, because 016001 is a city dweller, in other words, an indigenous.
Yes, do you think that the transformed 016 still belongs to the 016 local, native-born indigenous earthlings?
Stop dreaming, okay! Impossible, isn't it!
When I signed a contract with the company and went to the slums to receive relief, I gave up everything that belonged to me.
Those who refuse to give up are long left in the natural disasters of chemical gas pollution and livable transformation.
With the completion of this overall transformation, the local population has also directly completed urbanization.
Now the population of the entire 016 earth, the superpowered and the incapable, are clustered in more than 800 giant cities at the entrance of the LEO-PORT rail elevator, with an average population of tens of millions per person. Live on the little resources and opportunities that leak out of the teeth of the Cool Baboon Group.
And the 016 earth outside these cities, with its beautiful mountains, rivers and scenery, has already been used as an asset collateral for livable transformation, making an exception to open the capital control of another world, and auctioning it off to the cosmic rich man from another world for financing!
Otherwise, you think that this kind of planetary-level project, the relocation of 8 billion people, where will the money come from! Will the company trade at a loss?
Therefore, it can be said that 016 Earth is a super luxury community located in Zhutian Huan, after demolition and reconstruction.
So as long as you are willing to spend money, you can buy Antarctica here, buy Luoji Mountain, and buy Mount Everest as your own backyard. To be the company's assets, to be a park, to be a laboratory, to be a university town.
The eight billion people who have been driven to the corner are obviously close at hand, but they live in the same steel jungle as the night capital, and can only see their homes from the Internet, from books, and from museums.
Isn't it tragic?
How could it be, the city is not a prison, and no one is keeping you in it. It's just that the outside is a territory bought by private individuals, and the walls are just built, and if you live in the city, you can't just break into other people's mansions.
And you can spend money, you can also buy a piece of land, or buy a sightseeing ticket, and you can go out and visit.
What? You don't have any money, huh? Then there is no way, you have no money, do you want the company to give it to you for nothing?
Sometimes you have to think about whether it's your own reason, whether you haven't worked hard enough, and whether you haven't risked your life to fight.
Now, some people talk about cool things, but don't say that the company didn't give you a chance!
NOW THERE IS A "BABOOBA!! Cool Fei Super !! "Put it here.
Pick it up and prick it in the neck, whether it is life or death, success or failure, whether you can make money! One more move!
BABOOBA!!! Cool baboon super strong !!
Life-changing !! Change yourself first!!
HOLOGRAPHIC ADS STOP AT THE HUGE DAZZLING "BABOOBA!! On the trademark, the brilliant and disgusting light and shadow of the trademark shook Li Pan's face.
With a wave of his finger and paying to turn off the advertisement, the blue and pure planet appeared in front of him in the dark sea of stars.
Ah, 016 Earth, Brave New World.
