Chapter 4 Chapter 4: Selling Your Body
The team leader in charge of the base was called Bai Miao, who was about thirty years old and had pretty features. However, under his white coat he wore half-worn slippers and frayed pajamas - typical disgusting work attire.
Not only her outfit, but even her face reveals an aura of "I want to die because I've been working too long." However, it is understandable. Anyone who is forced to take care of a super monster that can destroy the earth at any time will not be in a good mood.
——It is worth mentioning that she is a B-level psychic.
Not only her, but the group of people responsible for monitoring and taking care of 001 are all psychics, but their levels are relatively low, mostly D-level and C-level. Her B-level psychic level is the highest in the group.
These people with special abilities worked at the Sun Umbrella Company before they evolved, and were basically in scientific research or technical positions. Unlike the people with special abilities who could call the wind and rain in superhero movies, the special abilities they evolved were basically auxiliary abilities and could hardly be used in combat. Except for the enhancement of their hearing, sense of smell, physique and physical fitness, they were not much different from ordinary people in other aspects. In order to support their families, they could only continue to be office workers.
The direction of evolution of most people with special abilities is related to their occupation or obsession before evolution. For example, Bai Miao was a psychologist before her evolution, so her ability after evolution is to be able to sense other people's emotional changes, read other people's thoughts, etc.
Similarly, the genetic disease brought about by her evolution is also related to psychology. She has acquired multiple buffs such as depression, mania, anxiety, insomnia, hair loss, etc. Every night she can only rely on the therapeutic drugs provided by the company to fall asleep. If it were not for the suppression of drugs, she would have collapsed and committed suicide by now - this is why this group of people are willing to risk their lives to continue staying here.
Similarly, it is because they are relatively weak and have little combat ability that they can survive at the hands of 001.
Of course, there are people with powerful psychics who can control the wind and rain and have extraordinary abilities - the seven who were killed by 001 before are one of them.
Thinking of this, Bai Miao couldn't help but glance at Chen Run.
Since PLAN B is top secret, no one knows the details of PLAN B except the Lu family father and son. Although Lu Kuo asked Chen Run to come and take care of 001, he did not tell them any information about Chen Run. However, Bai Miao and the team members obviously would not believe that there was no trick here.
So who is this Shen Run? What are her abilities like? What level is she at? Is she above S? What else does Director Lu want to do with 001? Suppress? Tame? Attack? Kill?
Although no supernatural power fluctuations were detected from her and she looked like an ordinary person, there were many supernatural people who had the ability to hide and disguise themselves - of course, there was another possibility, that is, Shen Run's level was far higher than hers.
Bai Miao withdrew his gaze without leaving a trace, but continued walking. "We've almost finished touring the base. In short, the entire base serves 001... Well, there are complete monitoring and equipment here. What you have to do every day is to check his health, prepare food, feed him, do some behavioral training, and be responsible for the cleaning and sanitation of him and the area he is in. It sounds easy, but it involves a lot of trivial work. You will probably take on multiple duties such as cleaning, nannying, and nursing. I hope you can stick with it."
There was a hint of sarcasm in her words, and she deliberately made the mission sound trivial and complicated, and glanced at Chen Run vaguely to stimulate her reaction - the mentality of most people with special abilities has long been separated from that of ordinary people, and the higher the level, the more obvious this arrogance is. She didn't believe that Chen Run came here specifically to serve tea and water to 001.
The TV series "Workplace Tricks" mentions that leaders will deliberately exaggerate the difficulty of work in front of their subordinates to test their loyalty. Shen Run seized the opportunity and immediately expressed his loyalty to the team leader: "Don't worry, Sister Bai, this is what I'm here for. I'm not afraid of hard work or fatigue, and I promise to complete the task well."
Bai Miao: “…”
She originally wanted to test Chen Run's background, but she didn't expect her answer to be so flawless. Bai Miao couldn't help but be a little cautious.
She looked down at her watch and said, "Forget it. I'll take you to have lunch first and get to know the cafeteria."
The cafeteria was some distance from the base, on the west side of the entire science and technology park. It was a three-story building with a very stylish design. Bai Miao took her out of the base after swiping her card, saying as they walked, "This is the Chinese restaurant. They have the more common Cantonese, Sichuan, and Shandong cuisines. We also have barbecue hot pot and various snacks for you to choose from."
She paused and continued, "In addition to the main meal, there's afternoon tea around 3 p.m. The desserts are made by a chef hired by the company from Hangzhou. Drinks include coffee, tea, and milk tea, all ordered from a specialized shop. The evening snacks and morning tea are also made by a dedicated Cantonese chef. However, these are all subject to time limits, so if you'd like, remember to come on time."
They arrived quite late, so there were not many people in the cafeteria and half of the dishes had been removed. But even so, they could still see curry chicken wings, blanched prawns, grilled salmon and steamed crabs temptingly mixed on the plates.
Compared with the vegetarian lunch box given by the former outsourcing company at noon, Shen Run felt like she had arrived in heaven. Her eyes lit up and she picked up the plate and swept it all over.
——In order to save money, she has been eating white porridge with pickled mustard greens every day these days. The only meal that improved her life was the one and a half kilograms of chicken fork bones and three starch sausages she bought yesterday. Her body has issued health warnings many times and she is on the verge of malnutrition. Under the shocked gaze of the cafeteria chef, she swept away half a roast goose, five large crabs, 300 grams of salmon, and some other chicken, duck and fish.
Bai Miao didn't seem to have a good appetite, so there was a bowl of white porridge and a dish of cucumbers mixed with vinegar on the tray.
After the two sat down, they were both shocked by each other's plates.
Seeing her eating so hard, Bai Miao felt complicated - since the incident with 001, the members of their team had more or less suffered from certain mental illnesses, and she herself had lost 15 kilograms.
He has such an appetite to serve 001 at close range. If it weren't for the wrong timing, Bai Miao would have wanted to give him a thumbs up and praise him for his courage and skill - he must be at least an S-level or even the legendary S-level or above expert, otherwise he would never be so calm. He looks like he is on vacation.
After dinner, Shen Run's task for the day ended here. She happily packed a few more pieces of mandarin duck egg tarts and ice cream puffs. Bai Miao remained shocked and personally sent her out of the science and technology park.
After everyone left, Bai Miao took a few turns and came to the private lounge for one person, carefully rolling up his sleeves.
There was a thin blood-red line on her wrist, which seemed to be connected to her pulse and went straight to her heart.
She drew a strange symbol in the air, and the closed red line on her wrist suddenly opened up and down, revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes, staring straight at her without blinking, and the depths of her pupils seemed like an endless abyss.
She endured the discomfort of having a foreign object implanted in her body and said respectfully, "You saw it all, didn't you?"
His eyeballs blinked slightly.
Bai Miao breathed a sigh of relief and used her special powers to transmit the scenes of her previous contact with Shen Run frame by frame. At the end, she added her own subjective feelings.
——He is very scheming and very capable. He is suspected to be a person with supernatural powers beyond the S-level.
Purpose...unknown.
In the bedroom of the base, as soon as Lu Kuo left, 001 looked up slightly, as if he had received something. Soon, the corners of his lips curled up subtly.
......
Chen Run brought the packed desserts to the entrance of the Science and Technology Park. Lu Kuo happened to drive to pick her up. Plan B started smoothly. He seemed in a good mood and asked Chen Run, "How do you feel?"
Chen Run held the bag of desserts and said devoutly, "As long as you are willing to accept me, I am willing to work here until I die."
Working from nine to five, with two days off a week, a high salary, six insurances and one housing fund, and full holiday benefits. Most importantly, food and accommodation are provided. The food and accommodation environment is first-class. If she says it's not good, it would be really ungrateful.
She is a person who is easily satisfied. She is fine with the way things are now and feels extremely happy.
That's the good thing about being an honest person. They might not be smart enough, but at least they save you trouble. Lu Kuo chuckled and said, "I'm looking forward to your joining me too."
He pondered for a moment. "By the way, what do you think about further close contact with the 'patient'?" Seeing the confusion on Chen Run's face, he casually made up an excuse: "This is to speed up his socialization process and help him better receive treatment."
He would not let Shen Run take care of 001 for too long, and he was also worried that Shen Run might have some bad intentions, so he did not intend to tell Shen Run, an ordinary person, about 001's abilities. There were several people with special abilities in the 001 research group who were sent by other shareholders, and he did not trust them enough, so he did not tell either side completely, but only tactfully informed the people in the group not to talk nonsense in front of Shen Run, or even let them misunderstand that Shen Run might be a person with special abilities - at worst, he could find an excuse to transfer Shen Run to another position completely after a few months.
He also took it one step at a time to tame 001. He collected a large amount of information on human domestication of wild animals. Many keepers would deliberately cultivate feelings with the beasts. Take panda keepers for example, they would intentionally interact closely with the pandas, enriching their bodies, and hugging, caressing and kissing were all very common interactions.
For example, there was a very popular video before. A female panda in the dangerous period of giving birth was lying on the railing in pain. In order to comfort it, the female keeper stretched out an arm for the panda to hug. The female panda also held her arm carefully and rested her head lightly on her shoulder, full of trust and reliance.
——If the trust between 001 and humans can reach this level, the probability of success of Plan B will be greatly increased.
Shen Run looked puzzled: "Intimate interaction?"
Lu Kuo didn't consider 001 a human being at all. Thinking about the information he had previously researched on raising pandas, he casually said, "Hug, knead, caress, kiss... something like that."
Chen Run: “???”
She always spoke faster than she thought: "Didn't Mr. Lu ask me to be a nanny? How did you end up doing the job of a child bride?"
Although she was short of money, she still had a bottom line and said sternly: "This is a new society, Mr. Lu, we can't do the old society's things. I sell my art but not my body. Even if I am short of money, I will..."
She was so shocked that she started talking nonsense. Lu Kuo said, "...I'll give you a salary increase of 10,000 yuan every month."
Chen Run: "...It's not like I can't discuss it."
The poor man Shen Run once again bowed to the power of money.
