Xingtie, the lazy girl wants to rebel

After finding the man in the address book, Robert Scott anxiously dialed the number and immediately put the terminal close to his ear.

He really couldn't wait a moment longer!

But strangely, when he put the terminal to his ear, he did not hear the usual beep-beep-wait tone of dialing.

He then put the terminal in front of his eyes in annoyance, only to find that the terminal screen had automatically returned from the address book to the email position.

Call, no success...

Then, Robert Scott's fingers slid across the screen impatiently, wanting to switch back to the address book immediately.

But unfortunately, his terminal screen remained motionless, still displaying the letter that announced his fate, as if mocking his powerlessness...

"Damn thing!"

The series of setbacks once again made Robert Scott curse:

"Those idiots in the logistics department actually gave me a terminal of such poor quality!"

"Wait! I'll show you what's happening soon!..."

"I have all your secrets recorded here!"

Just as Robert Scott was madly cursing the company's logistics department for their incompetence, he suddenly noticed something extremely strange appear on his terminal:

The letter displayed on the screen, from the back to the front, all the words gradually turned into garbled characters!

Then, those words disappeared in an instant in front of Robert Scott!

Then, the address book opened automatically, and the dozens of missed calls from leaders displayed in it disappeared one by one!

It’s as if nothing had happened!

"what's the situation?!"

"It's haunted?!"

Just when Robert Scott was at a loss as to what to do due to this sudden change, his terminal vibrated and suddenly played the incoming call ringtone at the maximum volume!

A call came in without a caller's name...

Robert Scott stared at the buzzing terminal suspiciously, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.

"Is it the boss' call?"

"Then why is there no caller name?"

"But if it's not the leader, then who could it be?"

Although Robert Scott was extremely reluctant to answer the call at this time, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that there was nothing better to do than to answer it.

So, he pressed the recording button in advance and answered the call nervously...

Although Robert Scott answered the phone, he did not make any sound at first. He was silently waiting for the person on the other end to speak first.

This is Robert Scott's habit when facing calls from strangers. He will never be the first person to speak during the call!

In this way, no matter who is on the other side, as long as the other side speaks first, he can get some information from the other side's tone and intonation.

With this information, he can adapt to the situation and gain a certain degree of initiative in the next call.

And this time, Robert Scott did not hesitate to use this trick.

However, Robert Scott found that the other party seemed to have no scruples towards him. Almost the moment the call was connected, a rough male voice that was obviously synthesized electronically sounded abruptly:

"Commissioner Scott! How are you?..."

"How are you? Who are you?" Robert Scott asked sparingly.

But the person on the other side had no intention of answering this question and continued to speak to himself:

"I wonder if you like the surprises I just gave you?"

"Surprise?! You were the one who tipped off about the company?!"

"You are so bold! Do you think the company will let you go after doing such a thing?" Robert Scott was unwilling to continue to be passive, so he moved out of the company and tried to threaten the other party.

The person on the other side seemed to have anticipated his threat and continued to say playfully:

"Snitch?"

"Oh, I didn't do anything like that!"

"You are still keeping the Immortal Boat in the dark!"

"But... just because I didn't do it now doesn't mean I won't do it in the future!"

"So, I'll first let you experience the consequences of my reporting to Xianzhou!"

"How's it going? This feeling of being abandoned by everyone isn't bad, right?..."

Chapter 17 I will live off this company’s secret for the rest of my life!

"Humph! What do you want? Just tell me!"

At this point, if Robert Scott still doesn't understand what the other party wants to do, then he is really stupid!

It was simply that the other party had somehow learned that the company wanted to steal Xianzhou's secrets through the printer.

Then they would blackmail the company and try to make a profit from it!

In order to increase their bargaining chips, the other party controlled his terminal using some unknown method.

And simulated the consequences of the truth being revealed for him on his terminal!

This way, the other side can give him a warning early in the morning!

However, knowing this made Robert Scott feel a little more relaxed.

Because he felt from the bottom of his heart that compared with the huge losses that the company would suffer if the matter was exposed and Xianzhou severed its ties with the company, the company could still afford to pay a small amount of hush money.

Now! It depends on the other party’s quotation!

When the man on the other side heard Robert Scott directly ask him what he wanted, he said straight to the point without any further ado:

"Since Mr. Scott is so forthcoming, let's just offer 10 billion credit points!"

"what?!"

"One billion credits?!!!"

Even though he had expected the other party to ask for a huge sum of money, Robert Scott was still shocked by the amount.

Even so, the person on the other side seemed to be unsatisfied and was still adding his own conditions:

"Also, the 1 billion credit points I mentioned are based on purchasing power parity."

"For the final settlement, I only accept Punkcoin! Do you understand?..."

"Punk coin?!" Robert Scott's pupils trembled when he heard this additional condition.

Nowadays, credit points, as a settlement tool vigorously promoted by the Interstellar Peace Company throughout the galaxy, have been recognized by countless worlds in the galaxy.

And this, of course, includes Punch Lord.

However, a giant enterprise like Interstellar Peace Corporation has also aroused the vigilance of a top hacker in Punklord.

This hacker veteran was dissatisfied with the company's economic colonization and monetary hegemony across the galaxy, so he used his own encryption algorithm to create a virtual cryptocurrency and named it Punkcoin.

As soon as this cryptocurrency appeared, it was welcomed by many forces around the world because of its extreme anonymity.

They generally see punkcoin as an effective tool to fight against corporate monetary hegemony.

Therefore, Punkcoin is almost considered a hard currency equivalent to energy in today's galactic black market.

But the company naturally hates this kind of poaching behavior!

Therefore, in order to completely eliminate PunkCoin, the company's top management gathered a large number of scholars from the Bozhi Society to try to crack the encryption algorithm of PunkCoin.

But it seems that there is an insurmountable generation gap between the technology used by Punkcoin and the technology currently available to the Polytechnic Institute.

Therefore, although they spent countless manpower and resources, they still could not shake the status of Punkcoin in the slightest.

But even so, the company still refuses to recognize the currency status of Punkcoin.

The other party specifically asked for Punk Coin at this time. Does that mean that the other party is related to Punk Lord?

Or is the opponent simply a hacker from Punklord?

When the person on the other side heard Robert Scott's guess, he neither admitted nor denied it, but continued to say playfully:

"Whether I am a Punklord or not has nothing to do with our deal."

"These punk coins are worth a billion credits, and not a single one can be lost!"

When Robert Scott heard this, he refused without a second thought:

"No! That price is impossible!"

"Even if we add up the annual operating expenses of all our departments stationed in Xianzhou, it would only be tens of millions of credit points!"

"Where can I find you 1 billion credit points?!!!"

But the person on the other side seemed unconvinced by Scott's reason for refusal:

"One billion credit points, compared to the company's annual net profit in Xianzhou, is not even a speck of dust!"

"And now you say you can't find those 1 billion credits."

"It seems that you have no sincerity in the deal..."

Robert Scott saw that the other party was about to end the call, so he quickly defended himself:

"All profits we make in Xianzhou must be handed over to Pierpoint!"

"The actual amount we can mobilize doesn't even reach this amount!"

"Oh? In that case, how about I give you a suggestion?" Hearing Robert Scott say this, the man on the other side changed his tone and said sincerely:

"Go sell ditch!"

"There are so many high-ranking officials in the company, and they all have a preference for Longyang!"

"If they run into Mr. Scott, known as the 'lone wolf,' they'll probably get a lot of rewards!"

"This mere 1 billion..."

"It's easy..."

"you!!!!!"

When Robert Scott heard this outrageous suggestion, he was so angry that he wanted to spit out blood.

But now the other party holds the handle on their company, so even if he is extremely angry, he has to suppress it.

Seeing Scott remained silent, the other party continued to add:

"I know that at your level, you don't have the authority to approve hush money of this amount."

"In that case, you might as well report it!"

"If your leader can't make the decision, then go find the sector leader!"

"If the sector leaders can't make the decision, then go find the Stoneheart Ten!"

"Isn't reporting up the chain of command the forte of your company's employees?"

"However, my patience is limited. I will only give you one day!"

"One day later! If the block I specified still doesn't receive any Punkcoins, then I'll assume our transaction has failed..."

"By then, the people of Xianzhou will be the first to know everything the company has done to them!"

"I think the company doesn't want to see this happen, right?..."

After hearing the other party's conditions, Robert Scott was silent for a moment, thinking secretly:

In the current situation where the enemy is hidden and we are in the light, he must first find a way to stabilize the other side to prevent the other side from making a desperate move and causing greater losses to the company.

Afterwards, he can actually submit the conversation he chose to record in advance to the company's technical department.

Although the other party has processed the sound, with the company's technology, it may not be impossible to obtain some useful information from the other party's voiceprint characteristics or traces of intrusion into Yuzhao.

Then trace back to the person's location!

At that time, the company will decide whether to suppress or appease this person!
