Capítulo 624: Chapter 542: Inspection and Acceptance
This place…
The slum was bustling with noise, and a young man dressed in the Special Affairs Bureau’s standard suit was nervously swallowing as he looked at the high-hung sign of “Star-casting Anvil” across the street.
Strictly speaking, the Star-casting Anvil is indeed as the forum advertisents claim, affordable and honest.
Especially for newcors below Level 7, even if they can pass the assessnt of the large guild and join smoothly, the HR departnt will secretly establish files, track and record training efficiency, average task performance, ideological understanding, professional competence, political inclination, and other data, adjusting the D-level to S-class ratings in real-ti.
Resources are allocated differently based on the rating scores.
Newcors with A or S-class ratings are considered to have unlimited potential, receiving the most professional training, even caring one-on-one guidance from High-level Transcendents. Arrangents for family, personal life, strengthening power system construction, etc., don’t require them to worry.
D, C, B-level newcors can only receive basic tier training resources.
And the Star-casting Anvil offers a chance for many newcors to break through their original qualities, as long as they harden their hearts, stop being human, and implant seventeen or eighteen enhancent organs in their bodies, or even replace limbs, instantly gaining strength beyond their current level.
This includes, but is not limited to, implanting reinforced fibers into the dermis layer, using servo motors to replace skeletal joints, or substituting the eyes with the Evil King’s True Eye.
If one can obtain top-notch organs from the Script World or through boxes, such as the Supre Bone, Ten Thousand Years Soul Ring, Beast God Crystal, and implant them directly into the body, they can reverse their fate and leap from a D-class nobody to an S-class supernova.
Luxe cars, luxury villas, easily obtainable.
However, those who manage to obtain top-notch organs are always the very few among the few, most newcors can only use common goods, leading to frequent occurrences of “tragedies” that do not et custor expectations.
For example, a custor brings a T-800 chip from the “Terminator” world view requesting brain implantation to obtain a visual tactical interface to assist in combat.
The result? Success indeed, the custor can efficiently parse enemy information in the vision, see various tactical options calculated by the chip and their success rates.
But, the cost is that the T-800 chip follows instructions, viewing all emotionally driven irrational behaviors as inferior options that lower survival rates.
Everything prioritized on rationality, permanently changing the custor’s character, personality.
This leads him to shut down the life support system for his critically ill grandfather in ICU when visiting — because grandpa had admonished him during school that people need to be independent, and shouldn’t rely on electronic products to live.
Moreover, there’s implanting Wolverine’s Adamantium Alloy skeleton, only to be magnetically drawn away when passing a scrap recycling station;
Implanting the Soul Stone of an ancient strongman, gaining great wisdom, great perseverance, great fortune, the price being inheriting that strongman’s cursed fate, sure to be caught by Heart Demon at critical monts, mood swings, shaky hands and legs, greatly reduced standards;
While another main business of the Star-casting Anvil, acquiring relics, crafting items and skill scrolls, is filled with pitfalls.
Product mismatch is common, wanting a ti pausing skill scroll, it can indeed pause, pausing oneself together;
Wanting an invisibility skill, invisibility works, limited to skin, while internal organs float clearly visible in the air.
Moreover, so dissatisfied custors post on forums, questioning whether the Star-casting Anvil secretly siphons off so mystical essence contained within relics, keeping it for themselves, resulting in products not eting expectations.
Then these custors receive the Star-casting Anvil’s righteous and stern lawyer’s letter, warning them that if there’s no evidence, random slander will lead to the use of legal weapons,
Initiating related litigation in the Slum’s Seventh District Court, nad judges from the Side of Truth.
What’s wrong, are you dissatisfied.jpg
The above circumstances make the reputation of Star-casting Anvil and Sect Leader Mr. Pi Fu in a Schrödinger’s quantum superposition state.
Sotis they are friends to newcors, sotis they’re heartless tycoons…
“What are you standing there for, keep up.”
Director Xing Hechou’s voice interrupted the young man’s random thoughts, he hurriedly followed behind Xing Hechou and the other dozen colleagues from the Special Affairs Bureau, quickly entering the Star-casting Anvil, and saw Mr. Pi Fu, who was rumored to be shrouded in the Mist, in the simply decorated office.
With closed eyes, lying on the boss chair, feet propped on the desk, next to the Sennheiser speaker broadcasted the audio drama “Milk Dragon Battles Captain Arica”, evidently from so Script World in a parallel universe, where the Milk Dragon is a top IP comparable to Disney.
Beside the desk, the robot Magic Pet nad “Gray Rain” wore headphones, focused on the gaming competition screen on the computer,
Nervously biting nails, muttering, “Don’t go into that grass, entering ans millions. The Korea Team took dicine, Chinese Team quickly take so dicine!”
It’s hard not to suspect this guy probably wagered on so bet site.
Both having their abstractions, the dozen elite agents from the Special Affairs Bureau strived to keep straight faces, hiding expressions, harder to imagine it was these two who single-handedly raided the UK, slapped the face of the Bell Tower, almost nuked London.
Xing Hechou rubbed his palms, greeting, “Mr. Pi Fu?”
“Oh, it’s Director Xing.”
Li Cheng opened his eyes and stood up from the office chair, casually pulling open a drawer, “The first batch of goods ordered by the Special Affairs Bureau, want to check them?”
Inside the drawer was a transparent plastic basket containing several peculiar items,
including an old Step by Step reading machine;
a suspicious-looking jar of health supplents with no expiration date;
a bunch of cotton mixed with a lot of dust;
All these items were killing field props,
[Improved Step by Step Reading Machine], Fine Quality, the effect is injecting knowledge directly into the brains of children aged 3-7 years for 3 minutes each use. Even if not imdiately mastered, they can instantly learn when their brains mature.
Since there is no cooling ti and the guardian can pay the spiritual power consumption, it ans 480 children can be educated in a day, totaling over three thousand in a week.
[Happy Planet Chewing Tablets], Perfect Quality, the effect is to enhance children’s immune systems after consumption, significantly improving physical and ntal developnt speed, fortifying learning efficiency, and boosting energy and sleep efficiency.
As for the cotton, [Sky-cleaning Giant Beast], Perfect Quality, the effect is that once released into the air, it expands a thousandfold and can absorb volcanic ash, nuclear radiation dust, and other toxic materials upon the user’s request, gradually altering the atmospheric composition.
Before the tremor task, Xing Hechou, representing the Special Affairs Bureau, reached a cooperation with Li Cheng, with the forr investing, providing nurous artifacts, and commissioning the Star-casting Anvil to craft survival type tools imbued with Extraordinary Elents for constructing end-ti shelters.
This ti, Xing Hechou brought a dozen elite mbers from the Special Affairs Bureau’s logistics departnt, who released skills imdiately upon getting the props and used the scientific instrunts they brought to scan and check the tools’ various data and hidden attributes.
Toward the crowd-minded and rebellious Special Affairs Bureau, Li Cheng held considerable respect, having not derived selfish interests from the artifacts, even indicating the chanical Servants to add nurous advanced concepts.
He casually remarked, “Such inspections need not have Director Xing personally coming next ti; just leave it to your subordinates.”
“Director Xing is too formal; call Old Xing.”
Xing Hechou forced a smile, “Given the significance, it’s better I handle the chores.”
Seeing the strands of white hair at Xing Hechou’s temples, Li Cheng couldn’t help but curiously ask, “Is the project that urgent?”
“Winds fierce and waves high.”
Xing Hechou shook his head without elaborating further.
Each tremor task would reveal new special locations within the killing field, altering various guilds’ interest patterns. More crucially, as per usual practice, every several tremor tasks result in major updates to the Slaughter Field Ga.
Whether or not one admits, with the widespread misuse of Extraordinary Power and increased influence of the killing field, ordinary people are bound to beco more “fragile.”
A natural disaster, a virus, a tic pollution could result in millions of casualties.
With the world tide sweeping forward, at this stage, it’s far from achievable for everyone to be like Dragons, mastering Extraordinary Power; the best option left is to trade space for ti, constructing shelters to gradually adapt to the dramatic changes brought on by the killing field.
One operative put away the instrunt and nodded towards Xing Hechou with that bottle of [Happy Planet Chewing Tablets], “Director, A-2 goods are fine.”
Another operative gently patted the [Sky-cleaning Giant Beast], “A-3 is also fine, the air purification efficiency exceeds expectations by 13%. As for A-1, um…”
The atmosphere turned awkward; Xing Hechou waved his hand, “Mr. Pi Fu is a friendly person to our Special Affairs Bureau; feel free to speak openly.”
“It’s like this, [Improved Step by Step Reading Machine] ets expectations, capable of injecting 220 million bits of information into preschoolers’ brains in 3 minutes, roughly equivalent to all the subjects taught from elentary to high school like language, math, English, science, physics, and chemistry combined.
One could say it exceeded our most optimistic expectations.”
The operative explained, “The only downside is, when using [Improved Step by Step Reading Machine], it must connect to the internet, within the over two hundred million bits, similar to AI pollution and AI illusion, there is inevitably a slight mix of internet content.
The impact on teenagers is imasurable.”
To say it’s imasurable is actually an embellishnt, for by then, the smarter the child, the more cryptic internet jargon they have,
the prodigious children of the Chinese Academy of Sciences youth class would speak phrases like, “Among the only ones in a small county to have played Genshin Impact, Maelstrom, Collapse, and Tomorrow’s Ark.” “Hajimi Ou Makiri Mambo.” “Comparing Coca-Cola and Pepsi, the iced one tastes better.”
The scene could only be described as absurd…
Xing Hechou’s expression was also hard to maintain, if not knowing that Mr. Pi Fu’s character is still rather reliable, he would’ve suspected whether Mr. Pi Fu had secretly sneaked in his own content, “… I understand. For now, put them away, leave it to the logistics departnt for research…”
Before he could finish speaking, aside from the Gray Rain, everyone present changed expression abruptly, as they all heard the system notification.
[Notification: After detection by the system, all tremor tasks for the Earth Summoners have been settled, eting the requirent for unlocking the third phase, and will update the Slaughter Field Ga version in one hour]
