The organization I founded has been exposed by the reborn!

"Holy crap! What's going on? The power's out?"

"Ah! Look at the computer screen! What the hell?! What kind of virus is this?!"

"My phone got infected too! Turning it off doesn't help!"

The entire office building erupted in chaos.

Hundreds of workers were stunned and panicked by this sudden and bizarre turn of events, with screams and heated discussions rising and falling.

The culprit behind all these strange phenomena is Zheng Qiang.

At this moment, however, one cannot hear the surrounding noise at all.

The moment he tore open the envelope, the invitation transformed into a pool of pure liquid shadow, surging wildly into his fingertips and rushing straight into his brain!

[Ding! Dawn Contract Completed!]

[Potential rating: 3 stars (Support/Strategist side)]

[Primal energy infusion in progress...]

A grand, cold voice, like a divine pronouncement, exploded in Zheng Qiang's mind.

Accompanied by a tearing pain, Zheng Qiang felt as if his brain was being forcibly modified and reorganized by a high-speed motor that was spinning at tens of thousands of revolutions per minute.

His mind, which had become clouded from years of staying up late, became ethereal and terrifying like never before.

……

[Awakening of a Class C Extraordinary Ability: Mechanical Brain Domain (Active)!]

The final notification tone faded away.

The chilling, blood-red garbled text and eerie wind that filled the entire office building vanished instantly, as if the tide had receded.

The fluorescent light flickered twice and then came back on.

"Phew... what just happened?"

"I don't know. Could it be that the entire building's main server was hacked and brought to a standstill?"

The employees discussed the strange phenomenon amongst themselves, still shaken, and none of them connected the eerie scene with the timid and honest man next to them.

Meanwhile, Zheng Qiang, who was in the corner, had already opened his eyes.

Those eyes, which were always tired and numb, were now filled with countless fine, code-like streams of light!

He took off his thick, black-rimmed glasses and casually tossed them into the trash can.

Because, at that moment, his eyesight returned to its peak.

Not only that…

In his perception, the whole world had changed.

The invisible, chaotic radio waves in the air, the intricate wiring diagrams inside the building walls, and even the core algorithms on a colleague's computer dozens of meters away, which the company considers top secret...

At that moment, everything transformed into a shimmering three-dimensional structural model, appearing in his mind with exquisite detail!

His brain's computing power surged hundreds or thousands of times in just a few seconds!

"This is... the power of dawn?"

Zheng Qiang muttered to himself, a spark of wisdom burning in his eyes.

He merely looked up and glanced at the company's main server lines hidden above the ceiling.

The [Mechanical Brain] instantly completed hundreds of thousands of calculations and directly identified thirty-seven critical vulnerabilities in the company's multi-million dollar security firewall.

No keyboard or code typing is required.

He merely had a slight thought in his mind.

"drop!"

Throughout the entire 12-story office area, hundreds of computer screens flickered simultaneously. In an instant, he forcibly revoked and took over the company's LAN access!

If he wanted, with a single thought, he could completely obliterate this multi-million dollar internet company, both physically and digitally.

This is the terrifying effect of the C-level extraordinary ability—[Mechanical Brain Domain].

In modern technological society, this brain is a human-shaped nuclear bomb!

Zheng Qiang stared blankly at his hands, calloused from typing on the keyboard.

At this moment.

All those capital, mortgage payments, and so-called senior executives that had been weighing on his head...

In his godlike perspective overlooking the data world, everything else became laughable dust.

The meager self-esteem, years of repression, and despair for the future were all swept away!

That powerful feeling of being in control of everything and transcending the mundane made him realize what it truly means to be reborn!

He knew about the mysterious "Dawn" organization on the envelope.

I didn't lie to him.

In this cold and desperate abyss, he was truly granted divine power, which pulled him out of the mire!

"Buzz".

Just then, a series of coordinates automatically appeared deep in Zheng Qiang's mind.

[Outside the Seventh Ring Road of Yanjing, a private museum. The headquarters of Dawn.]

That is a pilgrimage site that every member who signs the contract will automatically receive.

Zheng Qiang showed no regret whatsoever.

He didn't pick up the worn-out backpack.

He turned around and, amidst the surprised gazes of his colleagues, strode to the center of the office area.

The department head who had just been so arrogant, announcing his dismissal, was now frowning, pointing at him and shouting:

"Zheng Qiang, what's wrong with you? Has the finance department signed off yet? Stop dawdling and disrupting everyone's work..."

"Sizzle!"

The supervisor hadn't finished speaking.

In front of everyone, Zheng Qiang tore the "Optimization Termination Contract" bearing the company's official seal into countless pieces.

The scraps of paper fell like snowflakes onto the supervisor's pale, shocked face.

"You...you dare to tear up the contract?! Do you not want to get this month's salary?!" the supervisor roared angrily.

Zheng Qiang didn't even glance at him.

That look in his eyes was like looking at a reptile.

Amidst the incredulous gazes of the crowd, this honest man, who had been exploited for seven years, straightened his slightly wrinkled collar and strode out of the office.

He's going to...

Go and find the dawn that gave him new life!

……

and,

Zheng Qiang had just stepped out of the revolving glass door on the first floor of the building, less than ten minutes later.

"squeak--!"

Accompanied by a piercing screech of brakes.

Four special operations off-road vehicles sped to a stop in front of the building in Zhongguancun Science Park.

The car door opened.

Wearing a white trench coat, Luo Qingyan quickly stepped out of the car, surrounded by a group of agents.

She tilted her head slightly, looking at the towering office building in front of her.

Those eyes, usually as cold as icebergs, were now filled with undisguised confidence and an air of determination.

Zheng Qiang, the future chief mechanical strategist.

"In your past life, during the apocalypse, you single-handedly held up half of the human base's defenses."

In this life, I will bring you under my control no matter what!

With that in mind, Luo Qingyan wasted no more time and strode into the office building.

however.

Luo Qingyan never expected this.

The "chief brain" she longed for.

He had signed the "contract of servitude" just minutes earlier.

Dawn has joined!
