Chapter 61-61- Famous
"Before I answer the doomsday prophecy, I would first like to ask you, my friend, have you ever wondered whether the emergence of the Big Eight companies is inevitable in the development of human history, or is it accidental?"
"In our analysis and predictions, the eight major companies are not a normal phenomenon in the development of civilization, but rather a distorted, deformed, cancerous cell. Their existence will only lead to the decline of civilization, pushing human civilization towards an inevitable doomsday."
"There's no doubt that we don't know what form the apocalypse will take. Perhaps it will be a global war tens or hundreds of times larger than the 'Silent War,' or perhaps it will take some other form."
"But at least, we can do something for the continuation of human civilization before all this happens."
"I sincerely hope that you can become our comrade."
After reading the message from the Fire Bearer, Yvette hesitated for a moment.
As the only survivor of the origin civilization, she certainly knew what form the doomsday would take. It was a distortion factor pollution similar to a virus leak, which first polluted the ocean and then destroyed the land civilization.
The views of the Society for the Preservation of Civilization are more simple, even conspiratorial. They simply believe that the eight major companies are evil forces that will definitely destroy all of humanity, so they must prepare for destruction in advance.
From this point, it seems that we can judge that the continuation of civilization cannot provide any clues to the real source of doomsday...but it is not ruled out that the Fire Bearer does not want to reveal the secret for the time being, so he found another excuse.
"But...what does this have to do with me?" Yvette suddenly realized that this was not the reason why she was paying attention to the Civilization Survival Society.
She just hoped that the continued existence of civilization would really be preparing for the end of the world, collecting all kinds of knowledge, and then she could leave the dream and get some benefits in reality.
As long as civilization survives and people are truly working towards their ideals, what does it matter even if the motive is just an ordinary conspiracy theory?
After a moment's thought, she sent a message: "I'm willing to contribute to the survival of civilization, but how do I know if you're a scammer? If you have a lot of technical information, perhaps we can start with a knowledge exchange and slowly build trust."
Her "Elemental Decay Complementation Technology" could be copied and pasted at zero cost. Since the Civilization Preservation Association dared to risk the charge of "infringing intellectual property rights" to collect various materials, she didn't mind recycling them and exchanging the documents she already had for something else.
…
Agastya, a wealthy area, on the banks of the River Rhoane.
When Yvette arrived, Irene and Tennyson, two old classmates, were standing on the shore, watching the night view. Under the illuminated sky, a massive holographic whale swam slowly, like a ship on the river. Busy shuttles plyed the low-altitude waterway, and gleaming neon signs stained the road with a shimmering purple-red veil.
Upon seeing Yvette, Irene immediately came over excitedly and asked, "Miss Wuming, are you okay? The AJSP people told me there's nothing over there, and there's no surveillance nearby. They told me to wait for the results of the investigation. I really suspect they've colluded with the Lin Tui creatures and kidnapped you together!"
"I wanted to leave, and they couldn't stop me," Yvette said.
While this was the truth, she intentionally concealed the fact that she had also cleaned up the scene. She hadn't devoured the flesh and blood of the beast warriors, but she also didn't want to leave any clues for the unicorn-shedding creatures to connect with, so she burned everything to ash.
And with the help of Hewlett's ID card and magic terminal authority, she modified the part related to "Zero", so if the Lin Tui creatures wanted to investigate the matter, it would be easier for them to regard it as an accident during the experiment - Hewlett acted on his own initiative, conducted an evil killing test, clashed with a mysterious master, was severely punished, and disappeared.
Although the unicorn creature would still notice her later, by that time, she would definitely change her identity information to reduce the risk, and might even have left the dream.
"As expected of you, Miss Wuming. You're so amazing..." Irene said in amazement. She had always thought that Miss Wuming was very mysterious and a bit secretive, but she never expected that she could hide so deeply!
Judging from the abilities he displayed in today's battle with the werewolf killer, and the way he easily escaped from the pursuit and blockade of the unicorn-shaped creatures... this is definitely not inferior to the top 1,000 masters in the world on the mercenary platform, right?
Yvette turned to look at Tennyson, and seeing his silence, she said, "How's it going?"
Tennyson nodded, and Irene beside him explained, "Miss Wuming, he still can't speak normally, and can only communicate in an indirect way..."
"I'll unlock his status." After saying that, Yvette recited a set of commands that resembled an instruction set, interspersed with some meaningless pronunciations.
This was the "spell" he'd learned from Hewlett, capable of freeing the Beast Warriors. It complemented the safeword. Simply by slightly modifying the words before and after the safeword, all the shackles could be removed, freeing the beasts.
Sure enough, after hearing this spell, Tennyson's eyes lit up. He rubbed his Adam's apple, took a deep breath, and said excitedly, "I'm back to health... Thank you, Miss Wuming!"
"Recovered already?" Irene said in shock.
Yvette shook her head. "You don't have to thank me. Just follow me to the police station and help me get the 1 million yuan reward. I'll be satisfied."
“…”
Tennyson was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of many things. The excitement he had just felt turned into bitterness in an instant. He said in a low voice: "Don't worry... I will definitely do it."
…
Late that night, after leaving the police station and returning to her rented apartment in Bayard, Yvette already had 1,000,000 credits ready to be deposited into her account. However, due to tax issues, after the lengthy tax process, she might only have 700,000 left, not even enough to buy her newly seized magic terminal.
Then she contacted Welding Gun again and paid him a small sum to get her a new household registration. This time, her name was changed to "Bingyu Xien" to prevent others from associating her with "Yvette Luo Xiweiya" through such a simple method as name association.
Of course, the main concern was to guard against unicorn-like creatures. Heita Pharmaceuticals wouldn't make a mistake. After all, four years ago, when she was active in the Blackwater District of Ish City, Zero, the same year, was a four-year-old orphan in an orphanage with a genetic disease. How could he be a human?
Thinking of this, Yvette suddenly remembered what she had told Hewlett before, that she was sixteen years old, and she couldn't help but smile.
I filled in 16 years old when I registered for my ID card four years ago. Am I still 16 now?
Well, be honest and say you are 20 years old from now on.
…
A few days passed. With the upcoming bounty in hand and the desire to sell the semi-liquid biological colonization suit, Yvette hardly went out for the time being. She searched for buyers on the dark web while selecting things she might need.
She planned to use the magic terminal this way for now. Every 10,000 talisman point cache increase would cause the black market price to skyrocket. She would rather find an opportunity to rob it openly than pay such a huge premium.
Bio-Colonial Suit is a good thing, but the Bio-Colonial Suit that can be bought on the black market, including the one she seized, has a defensive power that is no better than her defensive technique "Scarlet Armor", and the premium is also high. It seems unnecessary to spend this money.
Maybe buy a batch of low-end element chips?
When scavenging in real life, most things, like magic skateboards and magic motorcycles, have damaged chips. Even with the energy storage board repaired, they won't start. Wouldn't it be much easier to buy a batch of low-end elemental chips from the manufacturer now?
Including the alloy battle blade, the element chip it uses is actually not very accurate. After all, the focus of military weapons is not on cutting-edge technology, but on durability...
In this way, he surfed the Internet at home for a few days, screening things he might need to buy and making a list. On the morning of the fifth day, a voice call from Caster, the middleman from the Floating Light Bar, broke the peace in the rental house.
"No, Miss Noname, did you really catch the werewolf killer?"
Hearing the unbelievable tone, even though she couldn't see the person, Yvette could still imagine the shocked and speechless expression on Caster's face.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"You're in the news, Miss Nobody! Big news! Front page headlines! In your first single, you captured the serial killer, the Werewolf Killer, and in the process, thwarted the dark conspiracy of the Scaled Creatures, forcing the chairman, 'Old Cyrus,' to personally apologize to the public!"
Perhaps because a certain middleman also contributed to the transaction, Custer's tone was particularly excited, and he said proudly: "Now, not only in Agashe, but even in the entire mercenary world of New Eden, you are well-known and famous!"
