Chapter 8 Patented electronic pickled mustard tuber.

It doesn't take time to apply for a patent. The system doesn't doubt the host's ability. He is just afraid that the outlaw got the patent by taking shortcuts. It's not worth it for a scumbag like Xue Tao!

"Are you worried that I'll affect your AI civil service exam? I'm sorry, but I'm a law-abiding person."

[But I checked, and there is no patent number in your name.]

"Patents don't exist in the end times, so I did some research online. Applying for and getting them done does take time and money, but there's no need to wait for papers. There's an authoritative paper exchange website in the industry where the latest academic papers can be published. It's also 'authoritative,' but it just doesn't have a patent number."

How convenient! A peaceful society is great. We don’t even need to do biometric anti-counterfeiting.

[So it hasn't been done yet? Do you need me to apply for it for you?] Otherwise, it would seem like a useless system.

"No need. Hengyu Instruments will do it to get the product on the market as soon as possible. In fact, the sooner the better."

You say Bian Ling is crazy, he has a firm grasp of social rules. You say he is not crazy, normal people really don’t have such a wonderful mental state.

The system entered the paper website to search, and this time I finally saw Bian Ling’s name.

[Host, your paper is actually about biomechanical adaptability. This neuron-sensing interaction technology is licensed out like that? Hengyu actually only gave you a team leader position in a branch company? Didn't you ask for this?]

"You seem to know a lot about biology? AI that's too anthropomorphic isn't a good thing."

[Host, you simply don't understand the value of this technology! Currently, the mechanical prosthetics on the market are primarily for aesthetics rather than practicality. The key difficulty lies in the mismatch of biological connections and the extremely low comfort of long-term wear. If your technology were to be realized, do you know how many lives it could save?]

"I know."

Many people in the apocalypse benefited from this technology. After all, initially, when people were bitten by zombies, without medication to prevent them, the zombie virus spread rapidly. Only by decisively amputating the bitten limbs could they have a chance of survival. Disability is certainly difficult, but the human desire to survive is always the strongest.

In the first few years, the human disability rate remained high, and the base's labor force became increasingly scarce. Later, the institute developed a technology that could almost perfectly couple the cross-sections of human limbs. Although it also requires daily maintenance and regular inspections and replacement of parts, compared to prosthetic limbs that look good but are useless, this technology at least allows many disabled people who cannot leave their homes to have the ability to live and work normally, and also reduces a lot of the burden on the base.

Before entering the research institute, Bian Ling worked as an apprentice in a black clinic in the underground black market for a period of time. In fact, his daily work was to help maintain prosthetic limbs, so he was of course very familiar with the ins and outs of the matter.

【Then why did you give it away so easily? 】

"It's just one of the authorized patents. It's not unique. Hengyu can see the value. Do you think other companies can't see it? With the system, you'll be busy soon."

As long as Hengyu is not stupid, he will do his utmost to support him. As for whether his achievements will be snatched away, Professor Bian is actually looking forward to it.

[…So, host, you are not going to die? ]

Bian Ling finished the last sip of milk tea, the smile on his face disappeared, and he looked gloomy: "Let's wait and see for now, at least it won't be too late for me to die after Wen Xun is alive."

【Why? 】

"I saved his life, so he shouldn't have set up a longevity tablet for me. When I die, at least there will be people to burn paper for me."

...Why did it ask this question!

The system was about to go invisible when it suddenly saw the host pick up the report on the table. It immediately became so nervous that its firewall stood up:

【Host, what are you going to do? 】

"Don't make such a fuss. It's almost time to get off work. I'm just preparing some electronic pickled mustard greens to accompany the meals of the office workers who have been tired all day."

Huh? What's this electronic mustard tuber?

"System, help me register a Weibo account with my real name. The name will be..." Bian Ling thought for a moment and said, "Prefabricated corpses, ready for immediate collection. How about that?"

[No—please don't! I'll get it for you. Just take a look. It's guaranteed to be high-end and classy.]

After saying that, the system immediately rushed to the Internet, passed the real-name authentication in no time, and soon came back with a new Weibo account.

Bian Ling took one look and was clearly very dissatisfied: "Skyfire? That's so ordinary. I think calling him Ghost Fire Boy is better than that. I don't like it."

[Host, in Greek mythology, Prometheus, in order to bring fire to the human world, stole fire from the sky and sent it to the human world, even against Zeus's will. This brought light to the darkness of the human world. Host, you are the fire from the sky.]

Bian Ling was surprised, then sneered, "I didn't expect you to be so artistic. What a pity! I'm not the selfless Prometheus. Whether there's fire in the world or not is none of my business. I'd rather drag everyone into the abyss. Change it!"

[…Host, I have just used up my annual opportunity to change my nickname.]

Bian Ling's face turned even darker. "Then this Weibo account belongs to you. Post these reports there. You don't need me to spend money on advertising for you, right?"

When the system saw the content of the report, it finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not a forged paternity test report.

[Huh? This shampoo actually contains excessive levels of carcinogens now?]

Bian Ling was too lazy to answer the system's questions and simply punched the clock out. Hengyu certainly gave him more than just a team leader position. Even without the money from Shen Yuchuan, he was not short of it now.

When the system saw that the host had turned on the shielding mode, it went on idle to do its business.

The original novel tells the story of the rise and fall of Rongshan Group. Bian Ling is just a cannon fodder to set off the glory of Shen family. Since its establishment, Rongshan Group has gone through many ups and downs. In this generation, its development has entered a bottleneck period. Although the head of the family, Shen Jianghai, has ambitions and means, the times are developing too fast. He wants to stick to the old formula to be proud of his identity, but he also wants to innovate to cater to the tastes of young people. The result of his hesitation is that the market was divided away by new daily chemical companies.

In addition, Shen Jianghai intends his eldest son Shen Yuchuan to take over the company, but Shen Yuchuan's talent lies in research and development, not in managing the company and expanding its territory. During the handover of power between the two, the market value of Rongshan Group fell to a new low, and Shen Yuchuan had no choice but to resign. It happened that the second daughter Shen Shujing returned to China at this time. She turned the tide, and with the help of Shen Xi'an's live broadcast promotion, the new products of Rongshan Group were finally recognized by the market. However, just when Rongshan Group got a respite, a shampoo under the group was suddenly exposed to excessive carcinogens, and some people even felt physically uncomfortable.

This was a major scandal. If not handled properly, the group would be in danger of bankruptcy. Coupled with the "friendly competitors" taking advantage of the situation, the Shen family had to give the public a reasonable explanation. In the original novel, this explanation was the Shen family's initiative to expose the existence of the Shen family's true and false young masters. The real young master was resentful that his family had taken him away by mistake, which led to his unfortunate first half of his life. So after joining the purchasing department of Rongshan Group, the real young master was blinded by hatred and chose to poison the raw materials of shampoo.

From excessive carcinogens in shampoo to "poisoning", the charge suddenly became much heavier. In addition, in the original book, Bian Ling was the deputy director of the purchasing department, and all purchases went through his hands. With everyone pointing fingers at him, he had no way to defend himself.

Rongshan Group also apologized frankly at this moment, saying that it would give the buyers the compensation they deserve and would definitely not delay the matter.

Later, negative news broke out about the real young master Bian Ling, who had helped others cheat in the college entrance examination, was deprived of his admission to graduate school due to his dishonest behavior in college, and forcibly snatched plans from his colleagues after work. The public gradually believed the explanation given by Rongshan Group.

So in the original book, Bian Ling was thrown into prison and died of depression not long after.

What's more, in the book, the death of the original owner Bian Ling was defined as suicide out of fear of punishment. No one cared about his life or death except Shen Yuchuan. But Shen Yuchuan had long been an abandoned child of the Shen family and had no say at all.

After this experience, Rongshan Group began to prosper. Under the leadership of Shen Shujing, its market value soon exceeded 10 billion yuan, and it once again secured its position as a daily chemical giant.

The system read the original article over and over again three times, but still couldn't figure out who was to blame for the carcinogen incident, so it simply edited a long Weibo post according to the host's request and published it on time at the end of the working day.

[Jialong shampoo under Rongshan Group revealed to contain excessive levels of carcinogens!]

[Jia Long, the pride of Chinese brands, has lost its original intention and secretly changed its formula, bringing shame to traditional Chinese brands!]

[The price has remained the same for decades. Is the reason cutting corners and using cheap thickeners and fragrances? ]

…

Everyone was already familiar with Rongshan Group, and with the recent entry of young master Chen Xi'an into the entertainment industry, reporters and marketing accounts were all attracted by the scent. There was even a tabloid with no bottom line, with a headline directly titled "Top star surnamed S is slurping people's blood and spending a fortune at the fashion week."

Sister Lin had just received a message from Director Li rejecting Chen Xi'an's interview for the Young Emperor, and then she saw the scandal online.

"Sister Lin, what should we do now?"

A worker's life is life too. Sister Lin really wants to quit now. "How should I know! This young master went to Paris without saying a word. The company had just finished the marketing to cooperate with his public identity, and the Rongshan Group was exposed by the scandal. What can I do? I might as well hang myself at the door."

Assistant Xiao Zhao: ...Sister Lin is about to go crazy.

On the other hand, the one who is even crazier than Sister Lin is Shen Yuchuan, the current boss of the group.

"Have you checked? Is this shampoo inspection report authoritative?"

"I've checked, and this report isn't actually from an authoritative organization. However, I've had someone test this batch of Jialong shampoo, and they do indeed contain high concentrations of SLS and multiple preservatives. Furthermore, this batch of shampoo has been widely distributed for a long time. If someone takes the shampoo for testing, they'll definitely confirm it."

In other words, there is no point in caring about whether this report is true or false.

“Mr. Shen, I have asked someone to check the supplier of raw materials for this batch of goods, but as you know, the purchasing department is controlled by your second uncle Shen Jianghua, so there is not much I can find out.”

When Shen Yuchuan heard his second uncle's name, his head suddenly became even bigger.

The author has something to say:
