Millennium Witch.

Chapter 61 - 61 - Famous
"Before answering the doomsday prophecy, I would first ask you, my friend, have you ever wondered whether the emergence of the Big Eight companies is an inevitable development of human history or a coincidence?"

"In our analysis and predictions, the eight major companies are not a normal phenomenon in the development of civilization, but a kind of distorted, deformed cancerous cell. Their existence will only lead to the decline of civilization and push human civilization toward an inevitable doomsday."

"Undoubtedly, we do not yet know what form the apocalypse will take. It may be a global hot war that is dozens or hundreds of times larger than the 'War of the Silence,' or something else entirely."

"But at least, we can do something for the continuation of human civilization before all of this comes to pass."

"I sincerely hope that you can also become one of our comrades."

After reading the message from the Firebearer, Yvette hesitated for a moment.

As the only survivor of the original civilization, she certainly knew in what form the apocalypse had arrived: a kind of mutated factor contamination similar to a virus leak, which first polluted the oceans before destroying the land civilizations.

The view of the Civilization Survival Society is more pragmatic, even conspiratorial. They simply believe that the eight major corporations are evil forces that will destroy all of humanity, so they must prepare for the destruction in advance.

From this point of view, it seems that the Civilization Survival Society cannot provide clues to the true source of the apocalypse... but it is also possible that the Firebearers do not want to reveal the secret for the time being, so they have found another excuse.

"But... what does this have to do with me?" Yvette suddenly realized that this wasn't the reason she was paying attention to the Civilization Survival Society.

She just hoped that the civilization's survival was indeed preparing for the apocalypse, collecting all sorts of knowledge, so that she could leave the dream and take advantage of the situation in reality.

As long as civilization continues to exist and people are genuinely striving for their ideals, what does it matter if the motive is just a common conspiracy theory?
After thinking for a moment, she sent a message: "I am willing to contribute to the survival of civilization, but how do I know if you are scammers? If you have a lot of technical information, maybe we can start with knowledge trading and slowly build trust."

Her "Elemental Attenuation Completion Technology" can be copied and pasted at zero cost. Since the Civilization Survival Society dares to risk "infringing intellectual property rights" to collect various materials, she doesn't mind making use of them and exchanging the documents she already has for something else.

……

Agache, an affluent area, on the banks of the Lorne River.

When Yvette arrived, Eileen and Tennyson, her old classmates, were standing on the shore admiring the night view. Under the illuminated night sky, a massive holographic whale swam slowly, like a large ship sailing on the river. Busy shuttles shuttled back and forth on the low-altitude airway, and the shimmering neon signs draped the roadside in a purplish-red veil.

Upon seeing Yvette, Eileen immediately rushed over excitedly and asked, "Miss Wuming, are you alright? The people from AJSP told me there was nothing there, and no surveillance cameras nearby. They told me to wait for the investigation results. I really suspect they might have colluded with Lintui Biotechnology to kidnap you!"

“I want to leave, and they can’t stop me,” Yvette said.

While this was the truth, what was intentionally concealed was that she was also responsible for cleaning up the scene. She didn't devour the flesh and blood of those beast warriors, but she also didn't want to leave any clues for the molting creatures to draw conclusions, so she burned them all to ashes.

Furthermore, by using Hewlett's ID card and magical terminal access, she modified the parts related to "Zero," making it easier for Lintui Biotechnology to investigate the matter and treat it as an accident during an experiment—Hewlett took it upon herself to conduct an evil murder test, clashed with a mysterious expert, was punished, and vanished without a trace.

Although the creatures of the Scaled Metamorphosis will still notice her later, by then she will inevitably change her identity information to reduce the risk, and may even have already left the dream.

"As expected of Miss Wuming, I never knew you were so amazing..." Eileen exclaimed in amazement. She had always thought Miss Wuming was mysterious and had a hidden depth, but she never expected that the other party was hiding her true abilities so well!
Based on the abilities he displayed in today's battle against the werewolf killer, and his effortless escape from the encirclement and interception of the Scaled Creatures... he is definitely no less than the top 1000 experts in the world on the mercenary platform, right?
Yvette turned to Tennyson, and seeing his silence, asked, "How are you feeling?"

Tennyson nodded, and Eileen, standing beside him, explained, "Miss Nameless, he still can't speak normally; he can only communicate through indirect methods..."

“I’ll undo his status.” After saying that, Yvette recited a command-like phrase, interspersed with some unintelligible sounds.

This is a "spell" obtained from Hewlett that can restore the orc warrior's freedom, complementing the safety word. By simply modifying the words before and after the safety word, all shackles can be removed, granting them freedom.

Sure enough, after hearing the incantation, Tennyson's eyes lit up. He rubbed his Adam's apple, took a deep breath, and said excitedly, "It's healed... Thank you, Miss Nameless!" "It's healed already?" Eileen said in shock.

Yvette shook her head: "You don't need to thank me. You just need to come with me to the police station obediently and help me get the 100 million bounty, and I'll be satisfied."

"..."

Tennyson paused for a moment, then immediately thought of many things. His excitement turned to bitterness in an instant, and he said in a low voice, "Don't worry... I definitely will."

……

Late at night, after leaving the police station and returning to her rented apartment in Bayard, Yvette had 100 million credits about to be credited to her account. However, considering tax issues, after going through the lengthy procedures, she might only receive 70 credits, not even enough to buy the newly confiscated magic terminal.

Then she contacted Welding Torch again, paid him a small fee, and asked him to help her get a new identity. This time, the name was changed to "Ice Rain Theon," to prevent people from associating her with "Yvette Losivia" through such a simple name-association method.

Of course, the main concern is to guard against Lintui Biotechnology. Black Tower Pharmaceuticals wouldn't make a mistake; after all, four years ago when she was active in the Blackwater District of Ish City, Zero was a four-year-old orphan in a welfare home suffering from a genetic disease. How could it be the same person?

Thinking of this, Yvette suddenly remembered telling Hewlett that she was sixteen years old, and couldn't help but smile wryly.

I filled in 16 years old when I registered my ID card four years ago, and I'm still 16 now?
Okay, let's be honest, I'll say I'm 20 from now on.

……

A few more days passed. With the bounty in hand and the desire to sell her semi-liquid bio-armor, Yvette didn't go out much. She spent her time searching for buyers on the dark web and picking out things she might need.

She planned to use the magic terminal as is for now. The black market price skyrocketed for every 1 increase in rune point cache, and she'd rather find an opportunity to rob it outright than pay such a huge premium.

Bio-armor is a good thing, but the bio-armor available on the black market, including the one she seized, doesn't have a higher defensive capability than her defensive spell "Crimson Armor," and it's also overpriced. It doesn't feel worth spending this money unnecessarily.

Perhaps we could buy a batch of low-end element chips?

When scavenging for junk in real life, most things, like magical skateboards and magical motorcycles, won't start even after the energy storage board is repaired due to damaged chips. Wouldn't it be much more convenient to buy a batch of low-end element chips from the manufacturer now?

Even alloy battle blades, the element chips they use aren't actually very precise. After all, military weapons prioritize durability over cutting-edge technology...

So, after spending a few days online at home, filtering out things I might need to buy and making a list, the tranquility of the rented room was shattered on the morning of the fifth day by a voice call from Caster, the middleman at Floating Light Bar.

"No, Miss Anonymous, you really caught the werewolf killer?"

Hearing this incredulous tone, even though she couldn't see the person, Yvette could still imagine the shocked and speechless expression on Caster's face.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"You're on the news, Miss Anonymous! Big news! Front page headlines! Your debut job resulted in the capture of serial killer Werewolf Killer, and you also thwarted the dark conspiracy of Lin Tui Biotechnology, forcing Chairman 'Old Cyrus' to personally apologize to the public!"

Perhaps because a middleman had played a part in the transaction, Castor's tone was particularly excited, and he said with pride, "Now, not to mention Agassiz, even in the entire mercenary world of New Eden, you can be called famous and renowned after one battle!"
