Chapter 565: Searching for Clues in 4 Locations
On the outskirts of the city that never sleeps, in the South City Industrial Park.
Sainz Heavy Industries.
This is a capital oligopoly encompassing industries such as security, urban construction, sea, land and air transportation, etc.
As night fell, the entire industrial park was filled with security personnel, mercenaries, and top-notch thugs...
"Can you hear me? This time your target is the olipsilon inhibitor."
"This thing is a secret medicine jointly developed by Science Heavy Industry, Stanley, and Shanwang Group."
"According to the intelligence, this should minimize the risk of rejection..."
[I see.]
Ye Kai and Edward can communicate simply by thinking.
Because it completely avoids network communication, it is absolutely safe and cannot be monitored.
These days, it's an open secret that ordinary users' voice messages, text messages, videos, and even the typing methods used by the system are being monitored.
Who isn't "naked" on the internet?
It's just that ordinary people have become numb and don't care anymore.
If ordinary people were to secretly plot to build these large companies...
It seems that before they even begin to implement it, they've already been blocked from entering and their boxes opened...
At this moment, in a conference room within the industrial zone.
"I really don't understand how painkillers, that garbage stuff, can sell so well."
"Then what about all the new drugs we've worked so hard to develop? A joke?"
"This is what a research executive complained."
"Then next quarter, we'll have to raise the price of the new drug and reduce production."
"Limited production will increase its value; this is an ironclad rule revealed by the market..."
A group of people were all talking at once, each expressing their own opinions, but they all had only one purpose.
That means boosting sales!
Otherwise, most of the people in their business and R&D departments will be fired next year!
In this world.
Being able to work for a large corporation or a financial oligarchic conglomerate... that basically puts you in the upper-middle class.
But once they lose their jobs, they quickly fall back into poverty!
Not only will they be unable to pay the exorbitant insurance premiums, but they will also have to reclaim all the conveniences the company previously provided in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
Not only that, some people also have to pay exorbitant fines!
Because what was signed back then wasn't some childish labor contract.
It's a betting agreement!!
Therefore, the higher-ups in this world live a life of debauchery and indulgence.
Middle-class people are constantly on edge, fearing they'll lose everything they already have!
Only the lowest strata of society remain intoxicated by a cheap "dream"...
After all, the masses are not just a slogan... More than 80% of the population is in a state of complacency.
"What about that inhibitor? How's the progress?"
Just then, one of the executives asked.
"Opsilon is a top-tier product. Currently, there are only live experiments with 'elf' (a type of animal), and no clinical data on humans yet."
"We need to hurry! In business, it's all about supply and demand."
"If there is no supply and demand, then create supply and demand!!"
"There are now countless patients with rejection reactions."
"Only by opening up new markets and enabling those who cannot undergo mechanized prosthetic modifications to receive implants... can we reduce the mortality rate."
"Only in this way can our market grow bigger and stronger, and achieve even greater success!!"
"Yes!"
"There's one more thing... I need to warn you all first."
"Many companies are eyeing this inhibitor. Anyone who dares to leak it... even God the Father couldn't stop them, I'm telling you!"
"Alright, meeting adjourned."
Just after everyone left.
A researcher in a white coat has just entered the elevator.
"Pfft!!"
Completely transformed into a cluster of cells, hiding in the elevator shaft, Ye Kai, like an alien, suddenly attacked!
He conjured sharp bone spikes, which pierced the back of the man's head in an instant.
"Uh!"
With a muffled groan, the man collapsed to the ground, then was completely swallowed up...
The next moment, Ye Kai transformed into his appearance and swaggered back into the research institute.
As for the surveillance cameras along the way.
Ye Kai had already learned from the intelligence provided by Edward that there was a magnetic field that could block surveillance signals.
His actions were just a brief period of static on the surveillance footage.
In front of us are countless nutrient tanks.
A large number of elves with a mechanical modification rate of less than 5 were suspended in blue-green jars.
Eevee, Snorlax, Ooze, Charmander... most of them are Normal-type Pokémon.
These spirits are the best recipients of the medicine.
He was immersed in dreams from birth to death.
Their sole function.
They were used as consumables for live experiments.
Ye Kai walked to his workstation, turned on the equipment, and pretended to be editing the drug's ingredients.
He was actually stealing the company's confidential information.
According to that person's memory.
If any disk, memory stick, or other electronic device from unknown sources is connected to this place, the security program will be activated immediately!
Not to mention the industrial park security guards might take action against him.
Even the AI in the stairwell could shoot and kill him!
However, Ye Kai has a completely new way of playing.
Although he doesn't know much about biology and chemistry.
But his memory is excellent; you could say he can remember everything he sees!
First, force yourself to memorize what you see, and then share the visual memories with Edward later.
Ye Kai finished everything in just 15 minutes.
At that moment, a female researcher suddenly approached him.
"Stephen, I've already taken care of your brother's enrollment at Holy City Academy."
"Thank you for your hard work. After you get off work, let's go to the Queen's Bar on Rusty Nail Street. I'll treat you to a drink."
Upon hearing this, the woman paused for a moment, then looked at him somewhat embarrassed.
"OK……"
Ye Kai didn't linger and quickly left the industrial park.
It turns out that the research specialist also chose to join the new drug development project team in order to raise tuition fees for his younger brother.
Tuition fees at prestigious universities aren't cheap...
After all, in this world, the watershed moment in life begins as early as elementary school.
People at the high, middle, and low levels receive completely isolated and stratified education from a young age.
He didn't want his younger brother to become a crippled person, spending the rest of his life in the virtual world.
After all, climbing up is difficult, but falling down is very easy.
Too many people will raise money after they start working to "live in the virtual world for years".
Then, you can recharge all at once and enter the "Paradise Realm".
In the virtual world, everyone can be a winner in life!
They might be powerful overlords in a Western fantasy world.
He could be the sect leader of a cultivation world, or an invincible demonic cultivator, or a rogue ancestor.
More likely, he'll be a domineering CEO or a big star in a modern city...
In the "Planet of Elysium".
The realism of the five senses and its similarity to reality can reach 8-9%!
Those who become addicted to it suffer from physical decay and become emaciated in the real world.
But in the virtual world.
Yet, he could command the wind and rain, move mountains and fill seas, be revered by thousands, be invincible, and live a happy life...
Until one day, when their account balance ran out, they were forcibly logged out.
Then I was forced to go to work.
But as long as they earn enough money to re-enter the Elysian plane.
They would resign immediately.
Continue your journey into the illusory world of life!
This technology naturally has side effects, including high levels of realism and sensory stimulation, as well as unhealthy long sleep durations and sedentary lifestyles.
This results in a significant reduction in the lifespan of these individuals.
Of course... this is also largely due to their adjustment of the time ratio between virtual and reality.
It is said that in the Blissful Realm, the most extreme time ratio can be adjusted to 60:1!
In other words, 60 days in the Blissful Realm is equivalent to only 1 day in reality!
This can be described as the ultimate "poor man's package".
In any case, these people have lost all hope in life.
Once you've had your fun, you can ascend to heaven; who cares about this or that?
As for that female researcher...
She was just Stephen's female assistant, but she was attracted by his knowledge and developed feelings for him early on.
She never expected that the man, who was always aloof, would unusually invite her for drinks...
Unfortunately, it was all a lie; Ye Kai had deceived her.
……
"Holy shit? Holy shit!!"
Edward was so astonished by Ye Kai's extraordinary abilities that he was speechless.
"Old man, you're really strong!!"
"You must have been flying high and low, killing them half to death, and that's how you got this information, right?"
Ye Kai had previously revealed his true form.
He is no longer young, approaching one hundred years old.
He's gotten used to being called "old man."
[There's no need for that. I forcibly memorized all of this. It's best to avoid conflicts if possible... You'll still have to re-output the content from memory.]
"Ok, Ok……"
"I quickly got to work and made some samples to test them out."
Edward was amazed not only by Ye Kai's abilities.
And the ingredients of this opsecion inhibitor are so simple, it's practically a highly profitable business!
……
Ye Kai naturally wouldn't put all his eggs in one basket with Edward, a maverick genius.
He also tried to get in touch with the Sannoh Group.
This Sannoh Group is actually foreign capital from Japan.
Over the past decade or so, Japan has had very strong capital.
They've been buying up everything in the world, essentially covering the entire Northern Hemisphere market.
Now, the Sannoh Group also wants to get a piece of the US market.
This multinational conglomerate's main businesses include biotechnology, military industry, light industry, mining, energy, media and entertainment, and security services...
In short, it covers all aspects of people's lives!
The most perverted of these.
In the field of biotechnology, it can be said to be unparalleled in the world!
Ye Kai had seen the products of Shanwang Group.
Both the mechanical prosthetics and the mechanical bionic elves are of excellent quality.
It has even reached the point where it can "hybridize energy supply".
"Boss, two cans of No. 98 red chili oil, please!"
"I'd like a martini."
Ye Kai ordered a high-proof mixed drink.
An ordinary person would probably get drunk quickly after drinking it, but he didn't care.
Hybrid energy supply is like the new energy vehicles of the old era.
Cars can run on gasoline.
It can also be powered by natural gas... and can also be powered by electricity.
The same is true.
The mechanically modified elves can eat ordinary food.
They can also drink industrially refined products such as red oil and black oil.
This led Ye Kai to become suspicious.
The top management of the Sannoh Group has already developed nanomechanical biomechanics!
