It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 534 [183] ​​Super Baji, connect to the Internet!

That night, Xiao Xia insisted on sleeping with Qin Jiandan despite his back injury. After being rejected, she came to attack him in the middle of the night, but was kicked out by Qin Jiandan.

The next morning, Xiao Xia covered her slightly swollen buttocks and searched around the castle tower courtyard for the young master.

"Where's the young master? Has he returned to the Night Dragon Society headquarters so early in the morning? And where is Kazama?"

The new Shiro was hiding behind a pillar in the corridor, looking at a picture of a nun in pornography. When he heard the leader's question, he quickly stepped out to answer:

"The young master and Miss Linlin went to the wetware storage room. Staff Officer Fengjian took them there. Team Leader Vale just got up and was yelling for me to prepare a hearty breakfast for her."

Xiao Xia snorted, "Shut up! Why do you call her the team leader? Her position as the shadow team leader of the Fire Tongs Team is just a figurehead, she got that position by sleeping with the young master... And this dog is such a glutton, is he planning to eat the Falling Cherry Team out of money?"

Vale suddenly appeared from behind with an electric baton in hand and shouted at a very loud volume: "Hey, I got you!"

Xiao Xia shuddered and subconsciously covered her butt with both hands...

※※※

The wetware storage room is located in a secret underground area and can only be reached through layers of hydraulic metal doors.

Under the dim light, pipes and cables hanging from the ceiling are crisscrossed with each other. In transparent nutrient tanks on both sides of the room, prisoners are suspended in a "whole wetware" manner.

Linlin, who came here for the first time, walked on the metal floor and was unknowingly infected by the cold atmosphere. She shivered with her hands on her chest.

"Are they... okay? Does it hurt to insert the brain-computer interface into the scalp?"

Hotaru Kazama walked first to the complex control console filled with messy wires and buttons, and looked at the monitoring status on the screen.

"It doesn't hurt. You just need to keep the electrodes close to the skull. The nutrient solution itself has a disinfecting and anesthetic effect."

Linlin took some time to finally accept this seemingly inhumane cyber prison.

"That's right... All the affairs of the Night Dragon Society require computer computing power. The overall wetware can provide computing power without causing too much damage to the human body. It is much more merciful than the company's brain computer."

At this point, Linlin looked at her brother's gray jacket from behind. This was something Fengjian had already prepared in the Luoying Group and was available to the young master as a replacement at any time.

"Is the injury you sustained last night serious? Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't matter. I didn't learn Steel Armor Breathing the moment I was born. I've suffered worse injuries before."

Fengjian called Linlin to come to the front of the console: "Today is mainly to familiarize you with the system, so that if something goes wrong here when I am unwell, no one except me will know what to do."

The silver-haired loli said this while placing her hand on her slightly bulging belly. Qin Jiandan didn't dare to look over there.

While Linlin was studying the system, Qin Jiandan was wandering around between two rows of nutrient tanks out of boredom. Suddenly, he discovered a pig-headed Furui man with only half a body.

"Isn't this Hizen-no-oni? Kazama, did you forget to release Hizen-no-oni? Why is he still serving his sentence here?"

Kazama half turned and explained, "I already released him once, but he came back again."

Qin Jiandan frowned: "What crime did he commit this time?"

"He didn't commit any crime." In order to make Qin Jiandan feel guilty for speaking so loudly just now, Feng Jiankong vomited twice, pretending to be having morning sickness.

"After the lower half of Hizen Oni's body was replaced with a prosthetic, a 513D-type Otori was installed. However, the origin of this 513D is unknown. It is suspected that the company manufactured it in the early years and deliberately circulated it on the black market. It can be remotely detonated as needed. Hizen Oni's lower half was completely blown up, but fortunately the upper half was not seriously injured."

Qin Jiandan felt phantom pain as he listened to Fengjian's description.

I heard that in the Earth era, there were evil forces that remotely detonated pagers. Why did the company want to copy their methods? Fortunately, it didn't explode when I illegally invaded the skinny monkey mother!

Kazama continued, "Because his lower body needed repair, and the Hizen Oni had nothing to do lying in bed, he volunteered to be a wetware. You can pay him money or deduct his future sentence."

Linlin and Qin Jiandan looked at each other, and both of them couldn't understand why he took the initiative to be a wetware. Maybe the Hizen Ghost didn't have a good brain to begin with, so the side effects of damaging his comprehension and memory were nothing to him...

Feng Jian instructed Linlin to adjust the transparency of the color-changing glass of the nutrient tank:
"The nutrient tank can be turned completely black after being powered on, but this function is not usually needed. The nutrient tank can only be turned dark when other prisoners come to serve their sentences. When they are all asleep, no one can see each other."

Linlin sighed: "Fengjian, you really know how to save electricity..."

Feng Jian's deep silver pupils reflected a faint light through the glasses: "The power and computing power in the outer city are in short supply, so we have to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Young Master, thanks to the more wetware you transferred from other districts, my latest developed networked version of Super Baji has been put into production."

Qin Jiandan said: "The online version has added an anti-counterfeiting function. You can check the genuine serial number online to prevent it from being counterfeited by the Ni'an Society, right?" The loli pregnant woman in secretary clothes shook her head: "The online version of Baji is not only anti-counterfeiting, but only the genuine version can connect to our server and experience our ranking function."

Qin Jiandan and Linlin looked puzzled: "What function?"

Feng Jian smiled slightly. "The full name is 'Persistence Time Ranking'. It is divided into three rankings: normal mode, difficult mode, and crazy mode. Consumers are welcome to challenge it."

"Depending on the challenge mode, Super Baji will activate functions such as "Steel Armor Rotation", "Ice and Fire", and "Tightening to Prevent Escape". Only the most determined consumers can reach the top of the rankings."

"It's another peak! Are you using the precious computing power provided by the human body's wetware to do this?"

Feng Jian returned to his usual poker face: "Young Master, don't underestimate women's desire to compete. Fanatics like the "Senior Sisters Group" will do anything to compete for the top spot on the list. It can be expected that the damage rate and re-purchase rate of Super Baji will also increase."

"Linlin, you can also imagine that the video recorder connected to Super Baji pops up "You have persisted in difficult mode for 25 minutes and have defeated 80% of the users in the city." What a refreshing physical and mental experience it is."

The bun-haired girl blushed and refused: "I won't use that kind of thing! Even though it belongs to my brother... I won't use it!"

After calming down, Linlin asked again: "Since it is an Internet-connected device, it can be hacked by hackers. What if the "Steel Armor Rotation", "Ice and Fire", and "Tightening Anti-Escape" functions are activated at the same time and cannot be stopped?"

Fengjian's eyes rolled up slightly, making an expression that said "it's none of my business".

"Even if they are killed by hackers, it shouldn't be blamed on the young master, right? Besides, some hackers on the Darknet use them themselves. They might as well wear them and attack each other as a way to spice up their boring lives..."

When Linlin thought about that terrible technical competition, she didn't want to stay in the wetware room for even a second.

And the ones who provide computing power for the online version of Baji and the rankings are these real people suspended in the nutrient solution! Their brains are not clean!

On the morning of the same day, Han Shiyu led a six-member special city police team to the designated village where the cannery was recruiting workers.

This is Settlement No. 12 in District 58. As it is located on the edge of Ringstone City, most of the villagers have moved away to avoid the invasion of black fog, and it is extremely desolate and deserted.

Most of the houses are empty, with only a few families still holding on. The old metal doors are rusted, and the windows are just plastic frames, which are not as solid as the temporary resettlement houses provided by the Border Town Special Zone.

The roads in the village were bumpy, full of cracks and ash-covered grass, with some discarded plastic and metal fragments scattered on the ground. Occasionally, a few mutant crows flew across the sky, making shrill cries, breaking the numb silence.

Han Shiyu glanced around and saw that all the villagers together were just seven or eight skinny old men. They were wary of the sudden visit of the city police.

"Special forces investigating the case!"

The breeze with sand in it blew Han Shiyu's sexy short black and orange hair. She stood in front of the six team members, clasped her hands in front of her chest with great pride, and announced loudly to the villagers in front of her.

"Guarbada, the director of the second workshop of the canning factory in District 12 of Dongcheng, was from your village, right? He died in an accident in the canning factory. Do you know about this?"

The villagers looked at each other in bewilderment: "Guarbada is...dead?"

All six team members wore anti-biochemical helmets to avoid the erosion of the phlogistic ash in the border town area. Only Han Shiyu did not wear one. She always believed that such helmets would affect combat.

Han Shiyu's eyes fell on a thin old man leaning on a plastic cane: "Are you Guarbada's family?"

The thin old man exclaimed: "Me? Of course not! He is the only one left in his family!"

Han Shiyu leaned forward and approached the other person very aggressively: "Who else is in his family?"

The thin old man pointed to a dilapidated low house behind Han Shiyu and said, "That place...Guarbada originally lived there with his mother. Later, his mother went to the endless desert to seek miracles, and there has been no news since then..."

Han Shiyu frowned in dissatisfaction: "Miracle? What miracle?"

A team member came over from behind and whispered, "There is a unique belief here called the 'Sand Shadow Wolf God', and some people claim to be 'descendants of the Wolf God'."

Han Shiyu laughed and said, "I think they are the descendants of the God of Laziness. Otherwise, why don't they repair the village or move away if it is so dilapidated?"

Behind the thin old man, a toothless old lady squeezed to the front and said to Han Shiyu very rudely: "We were not born in the inner city, nor were we born in the three major families. Where we live and die is where we die. What does it have to do with you?"

Han Shiyu frowned slightly, pulled out the melta pistol from his service belt, and held it in his hand demonstratively.

"I really don't care about your life or death, but Guarbada's disappearance is very suspicious. I will not let the clues of the crime slip through my fingers - dig three feet deep and search Guarbada's house carefully!"
