Chapter 823 - 428: Sequence_2
But the problem is, the indigenous people of this world are unique, and the company’s scrutiny is especially meticulous.
Yes, the place known locally as ’Taiji Heaven’ is different from Earth’s parallel universes. The MET exchange rate of 0.2/0.2/1, the abundance of resources and energy, is unparalleled elsewhere.
Therefore, the biological entities deployed in this world, despite the company’s strict limitations on technological development, have almost unlocked resource constraints through individual capabilities, breaking evolutionary shackles. The speed and intensity of growth far exceed the upper limits of other universes.
Take, for example, the trusted lieutenant you recruited, the individual at the Divinity Transformation Stage, LHA-115.
Before you recruited him, he naturally evolved to exhibit extremely strong individual capabilities, combat power easily rivaling top military vehicles, with an ultra-long lifespan of at least twenty cycles, top-notch intelligence, and the ability to quickly learn and adapt to all production research projects, greatly boosting your performance. It can be said that your outstanding completion of performance indicators, rising from an entry-level employee to supervisor and then to section chief, is closely related to his assistance.
And this cooperation is mutually beneficial. After obtaining the substances, energy, and exclusive combat biological entities you provided through personal SQC, during your ten-sequence cycle business trip to the heavens, he underwent rebirth, his combat power significantly advanced, becoming the Sect Leader of the indigenous group, an extremely valuable asset. Even among the indigenous people of Taiji Heaven, he is now undoubtedly in the top echelon.
With such a personal and cooperative relationship, you naturally trust LHA-115’s judgment and recommendation.
But the problem is, as soon as you check, you find that the person he recommended has long been on the company’s blacklist.
The indigenous ’Xuantian’, a Nascent Soul Realm individual, is extremely dangerous, identified as a super-male combat biological entity produced by a low-probability mutation in natural evolution, having repeatedly interfered with the normal operation of client plots, with deviation values off the charts, threat level assessment, Level 7.
Although the dangerousness of wild indigenous people in the realm of ’Taiji Heaven’—a place where the strong are as common as dogs and natural disasters run rampant—is well-known, you couldn’t help but exclaim when you see such an evaluation.
Level 7! Capable of causing a domain-level species extinction potential!? And a naturally evolved Level 7 soldier!? Why hasn’t such a ridiculous mutant biological entity been reported!?
Wait, what!? This jerk reached a Level 7 alert from birth in less than four years! Not even a full sequence cycle is it!? This thing just sprang from the ground!
This really stunned you, no wonder LHA-115 had to report urgently; frankly speaking, even he was shocked. Such a supernatural entity, even the locals haven’t seen before...
Having fought in office competition, playing mind games and politicking for over twenty sequence cycles, you immediately see the opportunity for promotion and a pay raise.
Yes, ten sequences as a low-level employee, ten sequences as a technical employee, ten sequences as an operations supervisor, ten sequences as a project section chief—you clearly know that you’ve hit the ceiling on your career path.
After all, any further advancement in the operations sequence touches the so-called invisible ceiling.
Above this ceiling lies the high-level management sequence, those who manage actual power departments as ministers and managers, those who serve as the executive general managers of each parallel universe world.
Such positions aren’t something you can achieve by simply enduring for ten or twenty sequences, no matter how outstanding your performance is!
Even merely aspiring to be the minister, entry into management requires having someone on the Multiverse Executive Board.
Only with the backing and promotion of a supporter, the vote of the Multiverse Executive Board, and the nod and authorization signature from at least one director, can you be appointed to a management position.
Only by reaching that point, breaking through that invisible barrier, can you possibly transition from a working proletariat into the ranks of the bourgeoisie, achieving a class leap.
But you also know, how difficult this is.
So many realms, so many universes, so many people eyeing these few prime positions, being able to navigate cautiously, avoiding being scapegoated, laid off, optimally reduced by superiors, is already doing quite well; what ability does one have to gain the favor of the Board?
But now the opportunity has come!
A new breakthrough capable of shattering the invisible ceiling!
A mutant evolved in ’Taiji Heaven’!
This is an unprecedented naturally evolved super-male combat soldier!
And in less than a cycle, it can swiftly become a Level 7 military-grade combat biological entity!
As long as you obtain its genetic seed, original blueprint, and evolution map!
Not to mention becoming a minister, an executive—there might even be a place for you on the Board!
You got excited, excited enough to consider making LHA-115 permanent.
But you were also afraid, afraid of why such a great opportunity wasn’t reported by other subordinates, yet learned through an outsourced informant!
So you immediately checked the current situation of ’Taiji Heaven’, and you found that perhaps indeed no one else noticed, as the executive was busy handling a sponsor’s complaint recently.
It seems the sponsor who bought the sequence ’Taiji Heaven’ game-customized script complained to the company.
After all, they spent a lot of money to max out cheats, originally intending to dominate the world, sweep through eight directions, and enjoy an exhilarating journey of being king and overlord in a foreign world.
Halfway through, they found the storyline was different from what was promised?
How come these indigenous people are so strong? An Immortal fights with tens of thousands of my troops, which isn’t scientific at all! Who’s cheating here, them or me!?
Unsatisfied, of course, they stopped playing. Now the boss is demanding a refund, fighting a legal battle, which has escalated to the headquarters.
Now the entire company is facing the risk of underperformance, really having no time to deal with other broken matters. Everyone’s busy and under pressure, working overtime to prepare a bunch of new scripts, hoping to win back the sponsor and performance.
Of course, that has nothing to do with you, for the mission of the control department is risk management of biological entities, preventing this group of Level 7 soldiers from rebelling...
Hmm, but from this perspective, you could indeed use your authority, under the reason of ’rebellion risk’, to privately store ’Xuantian’s file in the control department, marking it as ’confidential case under investigation’, to prevent others from accessing and discovering it.
Good, it’s hidden now, so you can calm down and carefully consider, in this current scenario, is this a trap, dug intentionally for you? Or has someone below hidden research results intending to bypass you to claim credit from the Board?
Of course, you’re also aware that there’s no time for hesitation.
After all, even though you have direct jurisdiction over this case, you’re just a section chief. You still have a superior, and your superior has a superior. How could the information your authority unearths be hidden from them!
You clearly understand, achievements of this level are enough to alarm and involve characters at the senior executive director tier for a power struggle!
At that time, it would truly be an Immortal Magic Battle for absolute information security and technological confidentiality where small players like you without backing or background would only be swept away instantly, dying without knowing how!
Act first to gain the upper hand; delay and suffer the consequences! You must get Xuantian under control!
So you decide to descend immediately.
The fastest way is to activate the quantum link, boot the backup biological entities deployed by the company at the Immortal Palace, and even activate the one near Xuantian, directly linking a projection to there.
But that’s not safe—it will leave document records in the QHLR, easily traceable by the information security department, so meeting in person is more secure.
You think it makes sense, but then again, wouldn’t taking a spaceship to meet face-to-face attract even more attention?
Then you could disguise yourself as a meteor; isn’t the company frequently air-dropping egg capsules?
You think it makes sense, but then again, isn’t the egg capsule drop pod too small for a person to fit?
A person can’t fit, but your head can just fit perfectly.
You mean, air-drop the head to the Lower Realm?
Yes, just air-drop your head to the Lower Realm, fast track it to Xuantian, and the company won’t find out.
You think this is very reasonable.
So you slice open your throat and chop off your own head.
Then, you coated your face with your blood, painted it full of Blood Talismans on your forehead, air-dropping through the egg capsule pod down to the realm, sending it to Xuantian.
Then, you delete all browsing records, ensuring that your private engagement and all of Xuantian’s data files won’t be discovered by others in the company.
Then, you lie back into the sleep chamber, rejecting three hundred emergency medical care applications from the system.
And then you died.
