I am weak and friendly

Chapter 81 Tang Yiping's Web of Bugs
"Our organization... uh, the company is called Tianyu Investment."

After Tang Yiping "eaten up" his "five-year-old outdated mechanical technology," Li Chongshan obediently confessed.

“I joined Tianyu Investment three years ago. At that time, our company went bankrupt, I got divorced, my daughter was diagnosed with leukemia, and I had spent all my money. That night, I thought about jumping off a building with my daughter in my arms. Then someone found me. He said his name was Zhou Beichuan and he was the manager of Tianyu Investment. He asked me if I wanted my daughter to live…”

"A few days later, Manager Zhou took my daughter and me to a place. The car was completely enclosed, and I didn't know what it was or what they did. Then my daughter suddenly got better."

“Later I went back to that place, and they put me on a machine and I fell asleep. I was terrified. I thought they might want my organs, otherwise what value would I have? But when I thought about my daughter surviving, I was willing to accept it even if they sold me.”

"After I woke up, I suddenly remembered that I had been fighting in boxing matches for many years... and then I became a member of the evaluation team and began to carry out evaluation tasks."

Tang Yiping hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

He projected these thoughts onto Master Tang and himself, and suddenly fell silent.

Then came more anger.

He didn't know where this anger came from, yet it made him furious.

Wen Rui said, "It was Brother Li who found me. At that time, my girlfriend had cancer, and I was desperately driving for ride-hailing services to save money for her treatment. Brother Li rode in my car..." Wen Rui smiled bitterly, "Later, she got better and ran off with someone else..."

“I’m sorry, brother,” Li Chongshan said.

Wen Rui shook his head with a wry smile.

What a sad story.

Tang Yiping was silent for a moment, then asked, "So how did you steal other people's talents?"

“We won’t,” Li Chongshan shook his head. “We just do odd jobs, create some trouble, cause car accidents so people miss job interviews, switch gifts so people lose the chance to reconcile, deliberately cause traffic jams so people can’t get to the hospital in time, damage property so people can’t make money, the acquisition team makes it so people can’t be acquired in time, and the legal team makes all sorts of wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice, so good people are wrongly accused…”

Tang Yiping frowned as he listened. "Your company is really dirty!"

Isn't this just harming others without benefiting oneself?

Why? What can they gain from the misfortunes of others?
No, what they take away isn't necessarily talent, and taking something from someone doesn't necessarily require any special ability.

It only takes two blond-haired men a single stab to take away Liu Chengyuan's health and ambition.

In other words, what they did was rob other people of their future, prospects, health, innocence, and confidence...

“Actually, I saw it once. They had a huge machine, towed by a vehicle, and it was heavily guarded,” Wen Rui said. “I peeked inside, and there was a large container. When they went there, it was empty, but when they came back, it was lit up and looked very beautiful. I only glanced at it before they chased me away. The way those people looked at me, they looked like they wanted to kill me…”

After speaking, Wen Rui looked at Tang Yiping with awe.

Tang Yiping thought to himself:
No wonder they were so afraid that I would take away their "talent" empty-handed! Now that I think about it, I'm even afraid of myself!

After all, this is about seizing talent with bare hands!
"How many 'things' have you tracked, and how many 'targets' have you intercepted?" Tang Yiping asked again.

“Our entire team has only tracked four ‘things’ and only succeeded once,” Li Chongshan said. “We have a disposable detector that can only be triggered once. It’s very precious. If there’s something within a few meters, it will indicate that we’re tracking it. Then we try to take everything away and send it back, or we get our legal team to help. Only once did Manager Zhou get the item back and he was very happy and rewarded us.”

Although there are still many things that don't make sense, Tang Yiping feels he can draw a rough conclusion.

His opponent was an "illegal user" active in an organized group called "The Guide to Survival of the Weak," who used technology to simulate functions similar to "The Guide to Survival of the Weak."

Unable to learn skills on their own, they have no choice but to coexist with the "weak," just like Lux.

The skill that resembled the opposite of "Carrion," which Tang Yiping temporarily called "Plunder," originated from a certain weak creature.

If your job advancement is [Scavenger], the other party is [Raider].

No, "plunder" doesn't quite fit the style of "The Survival Guide for the Weak." Tang Yiping couldn't help but think of the other attributes in his dream.

Perhaps we should call them "illegal users" of the "Survival Guide for the Strong"?
Users of the "Survival Guide for the Weak" only learn pitiful skills to barely survive, while they continuously strengthen themselves by "stealing" other people's things and profiting through some mechanism they don't understand.

Seizing "talent" is only a minor part of the process, and it's handled by another team, who are the core members.

Lux and the other weak cyborgs who landed were like livestock they were herding, or like leeks ready to be harvested.

After all, Lola and Lux ​​were just too weak. If they hadn't met him, Lux would never have gotten the [Entangled Body], and it would have been beaten to it time and time again. Lola was probably useless to them, and they might have already gone back to "save another five hundred years" to save up.

It's a pity... I'm the "weakling" here, having ruined countless of their plans.

The only question is, who exactly controls this "organization"? What role does Lin Duo play in it?
What's the deal with Lola and Lux's prosthetic bodies?

Of course, there's no point in saying more now; everything will be clear once Lin Duo is captured.

At least catch a "manager" of Zhou Beichuan's level.

Tang Yiping said to Li Chongshan and Wen Rui, "From now on, you are both my people. I will not allow you to take anything from anyone else. If you encounter any new 'things' or 'targets,' you must tell me."

"But... what if we fail to complete the mission..."

"Can't you even slack off?" Tang Yiping said disdainfully.

"Uh..." Who isn't a working professional? "We... understand."

"You're bringing a new companion this afternoon at five o'clock. Do you have a suitable candidate?" Tang Yiping asked.

The two men exchanged a glance and suddenly understood what Tang Yiping was about to do: "Yes!"

The opposing organization is very large, but Tang Yiping now has an advantage.

Within this organization, these peripheral members are easily discarded, and they are well aware of this.

And once their organization finds out they've seen them, they're doomed.

No, it's worse than death.

Therefore, anyone who sees me must betray me if they want to live.

How could I be so buggy?
So you really are a walking bug, huh?

"Very good, I have high hopes for you guys, keep it up!" Tang Yiping smiled and reached out his hand. Li Chongshan quickly bent down so that Tang Yiping could pat him on the shoulder.

Seeing Li Chongshan's smug expression after being praised, Tang Yiping suddenly felt...

Wait, why does this scene look so familiar? Where have I seen it before?
Tang Yiping nodded in satisfaction, turned around, accelerated in his wheelchair, and with a precise cut-in, merged into the throng of electric bicycles that resembled a school of fish, heading towards the company.

Huh? I used to have to wait forever. When did my cutting-in skills get so good?!

Don't worry, officer, I won't go to contact Lin Duo alone.

It was Lin Duo who wanted to contact me alone.

Tang Yiping imagined Lin Duo ordering his men to arrest him, but everyone was staring at him, asking, "Why is Your Majesty rebelling?" Tang Yiping laughed.

His net has been cast.

After watching Tang Yiping leave, Wen Rui and Li Chongshan exchanged a glance.

"Zhou Zhiwei?"

"Yes, Zhou Zhiwei."

Should we beat him up first?

"We really need to give them a beating first, this is the initiation ceremony after all!"

Once upon a time, there were some monkeys locked in a cage, and someone put a banana in the cage.

But whenever a monkey tried to take the banana, he beat them all up.

Later, a new monkey was put into the cage, and when it tried to get a banana, the other monkeys beat it up.

Li Chongshan and his companion were very fortunate to be monkeys who could fight other monkeys.

And they couldn't wait.

　This part was incredibly difficult to write. You might not believe it, but I wrote about six versions, cutting it down from 12,000 words to just over 2000...
