Bai Wu remembered that Xie Yingjie was originally a physicist. From the moment he entered the tower, he felt that the technology in this world was severely disrupted.
The ground floor, second floor, and third floor seem to be three different eras.
When Bai Wu saw those strange black towers on the fourth floor, he felt that they were technological products that had surpassed those of his previous life. Perhaps they were on the same level as those in some science fiction movies.
This made Bai Wu very much looking forward to it.
When mentioning the fifth level and the Xie family who were leading the fifth level technology, Qin Zong thought it necessary to tell Bai Wu. He was worried that Bai Wu had never seen the world and would be scared by certain things.
So when the two were in the elevator, Qin Zong gave Bai Wu some more instructions.
“No matter what happens, don’t panic.”
Bai Wu really hoped that he could panic. Of course, he did not talk back and nodded seriously.
Qin Zong said:
"The Xie family is different from the other families. I heard from my father that the Xie family has never interacted with other families, and they don't care about the business of the lower levels. It's strange that the Xie family can meet you this time. It always feels that it doesn't fit their style."
There was still 400 meters to the fifth floor. Bai Wu did not respond to Qin Zong's question, but asked:
"Captain, how many brothers and sisters do you have?"
"I have a brother and a sister, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"Are they not interested in the Survey Corps Suppression Corps?"
"I don't interact much with them. We didn't get along well when we were young."
When Qin Zong answered Bai Wu, his brows were furrowed, and it was obvious that he had no interest in Bai Wu's topic.
Bai Wu did not ask any further questions, and the two of them started talking about the Xie family again.
Qin Zong was very curious about why the Xie family was willing to meet Bai Wu. Bai Wu guessed that perhaps Zhong Xu's affairs had already been known by the seven oldest monsters on the fifth floor.
He put Zhong Xue's head in a storage bag. He originally thought that Qin Zong could arrange this matter and complete it in one day, but the fact was that it was very troublesome to meet the Xie family.
Qin Zong also spent several days. Fortunately, Bai Wu found... In the storage bag, Zhong Xue's head was the same as the one that just fell off her neck. It was a fresh head.
There was no one else in the elevator, and it seemed very empty. After the two of them finished their conversation, Bai Wu looked at the ceiling quietly.
For some reason, he subconsciously felt that there should be many holes on the ceiling, but there were none...
These ceilings are no different than when the first floor looks at the second floor, or when the second floor looks at the third floor.
Bai Wu didn't know why he felt as uncomfortable as someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder when seeing asymmetrical things.
After the elevator reached the fifth floor, it could no longer go up. What appeared in Bai Wu's eyes was a futuristic "Black Tower Forest."
The number of black towers actually seems to be less than that of the fourth floor, but they are even larger. In the white fog, one can even see a super black tower that is more than 400 meters high.
The black towers are of different sizes and are not arranged neatly, at least their order has nothing to do with size. Whenever Bai Wu looks at the black towers, he thinks of fangs, spikes and the like.
There are several huge "manors" in the eight corners of the entire fifth floor. They are located inside the even larger black tower.
Yan Jiu once said that the Xie family is located in the south of the entire fifth floor. Unlike other families’ manors that are shrouded in the black tower, the Xie family’s iconic building is very easy to recognize—the Science and Technology Building.
As we walked along the south side, the enhanced vision provided by the white fog had already taken effect, and we could see a technology building in the distance, standing out among a group of black towers.
This building is exactly the same as the science and technology building in Denglin City.
People always miss the past, but don't think that nostalgic people will not change. Don't think that people who have changed will definitely become better. In this huge technology building, there are many things you are familiar with, such as the game room, laboratory, observation area, and archive room. From now on, you have entered the surveillance range of the Xie family, and their technology has begun to analyze you.
The remarks in his eyes almost showed that the Xie family... had a great relationship with Xie Yingjie back then.
Soon, Bai Wu and Qin Zong arrived at the Xie family's premises.
Outside the huge building that was designed to resemble the Denglin Technology Headquarters, stood a security guard wearing a black suit and sunglasses.
Qin Zong did not approach the security guard and said:
"The Xie family is a family that pays great attention to data. I won't accompany you in. I'm not the one who received the invitation. Bai Wu, no matter what you decide to do, you must be careful."
From beginning to end, Qin Zong seemed very wary of the Xie family.
Of course, if Bai Wu did not go to the Xie family, he would also be wary of other families, because none of these rulers' manors are not lairs of dragons and tigers.
The moment Bai Wu looked at the security guard, he was sure that this place was not simple.
Although you all have two eyes, a mouth, a nose and two ears, my ears can capture all sounds within a radius of 1,200 meters and can even record them. Once I take off my sunglasses, my eyes can shoot through you like laser eyes. Although this security guard becomes a piece of trash once he is outside the tower, he is indeed a level 5 security guard here.
The strong men who protect the emperor are so terrifying.
If you just rely on observation, even the white fog cannot tell that this security guard is actually a robot. In other words, part of his body is a machine.
As he approached the security guard, he spoke in a rhythm and tone that was no different from human speech:
"Tower citizen number: 560205278, age 19, gender male, white mist, verified, you can go in. You will only be able to go to the 11th floor, and the interviewer will be waiting for you there."
Bai Wu asked out of curiosity:
"What would happen if I wasn't Bai Wu?"
"Don't ask such boring questions. You are not someone else. If you were, I would be decomposed for my fault, and you would also activate the nine-level security alarm for not having an appointment."
Bai Wu didn't understand what the concept of level nine security alert was, but he soon understood.
After the security guard explained Bai Wu's problem, he no longer paid any attention to Bai Wu. Bai Wu had no choice but to walk into the ground floor of the science and technology building, and soon saw the code of conduct for visitors to the Xie family and their service staff.
Among them was an explanation of the security alert levels one to nine. Bai Wu took a look and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow!"
The level six security alert was probably equivalent to a five-star wanted order in a famous sandbox game in his previous life. Bai Wu couldn't imagine what the level nine security alert, which was three levels higher than level six, meant.
Although it was mentioned above that a sub-ultimate humanoid weapon would be deployed, Bai Wu was not clear about what the concept of a sub-ultimate humanoid weapon was.
The nine-level security alarm has reached its maximum, so when Bai Wu heard that if he entered the building directly without an appointment, it would trigger the nine-level security alarm, his expression was a little strange.
He felt as if he was a thief who broke into a house and was driven away by the owner using a nuclear warhead.
There were not many people on the first floor of the Xie family’s technology building.
After entering the science and technology building, Bai Wu discovered that it might be someone named "Xie Yingjie". Although it was very nostalgic, it did not completely replicate the Denglin Science and Technology Headquarters of the past. At a glance inside and outside, it was no different from the Denglin City Science and Technology Headquarters, but the use of each room was very different.
This building has an index map.
Of the first to the twentieth floors, only six are used for living, and the other fourteen floors are all used for experiments.
For specific experimental projects, the white fog can only be observed with the eyes later.
When he reached the elevator, Bai Wu wanted to press the button for the 20th floor, because the 20th floor of the science and technology headquarters building in Denglin City held many memories of Professor Tao and Xie Yingjie.
But in the end he held back, and the Eye of Prell popped up a note:
You'd better listen to the security guard and go to the floor you are supposed to go to. If you press the wrong number, there are a total of 1,654 laser jets in the elevator.
Good guy…
Everything seemed similar to what he had imagined in Jing Si's mind, but underneath this layer of skin was actually a mechanical fortress with amazing firepower.
The moment the elevator door opened, a bald man not far away shouted, "Wait! Wait!"
The bald man was not wearing a plaid shirt, but the all-white casual clothes that were popular in Gaota at the moment.
He looked to be in his forties or even fifties, but the smile on his face made him look like he was only in his twenties.
A true programmer is humorous, energetic, combines work and rest, knows how to take care of himself, is calm and stress-free, eats a proper diet, and has a balanced diet. The most basic secret is to work only twenty-two hours a day. Look at him, he just turned twenty this year, but he is still energetic.
Bai Wu looked at the other person's hairless head and suddenly felt a little sympathy.
"Would you like a cigarette?" The elevator started and the bald programmer handed over a cigarette in a very familiar manner.
Without the tobacco-growing towers, there would naturally be no tobacco, but the Xie family’s technology covers many aspects.
Bai Wu waved his hand.
The programmer smiled happily:
"I haven't seen you before, are you new here?"
"Yes."
"You're really lucky. You don't have to worry about anything when you first arrive. These people from the Xie family... ahem, I mean, the Xie family is really cruel to us ordinary people."
"Ordinary people? How cruel?" Bai Wu became interested.
"You haven't met the interviewer yet? Oh, you are going to the eleventh floor, probably for the interview. I can tell you in advance that when you work here, after passing the interview, you will be compared with those implants. Do you know what implants are?"
Bai Wu acted like an honest man and had no idea what an implant was, although he guessed that the security guard just now might have been an implant.
"A bunch of guys who are using cheats, neither human nor machine. But the Xie family is also ruthless enough to implant the virus in their own people."
It has a cyber vibe. Although the last time he met Xie Xingzhi from the Order Group, he felt that the Xie family might be conducting a "human armament" experiment from the words "take out the Gatling gun from under your crotch" in his eyes,
But the bald programmer's words seemed to indicate that the Xie family's technology was not limited to weapons.
"These guys are from the Xie family. They are different from us. When we learn something, we need to work hard to understand it, but their way is simple and straightforward - download."
"You'll learn later. You can learn a lot here, but the more you learn, the more those implants can learn from you."
The elevator stopped and we reached the eleventh floor.
The bald programmer is actually a relatively capable programmer in the entire Xie family. Because he wants so much to compete with the implanted bodies and prove that humans do not need implants at all and that there are no limits to being a human being, he overuses his brain and ages very quickly.
The entire Xie family is also divided into the implanted faction and the native faction.
Logically speaking, the native faction cannot possibly be a rival to the implant faction, but in fact, because the implant faction relies too much on existing data, they are actually inferior to the native faction in terms of imagination.
However, this is also the only advantage of the native school - innovation. Once a new system is created, the native school will probably be very powerful for a while.
But within a few days, the implant group will immediately surpass them.
In addition, the implant faction is not without imagination. Although it is divided into two factions, the power of the implant faction is indeed far greater than that of the original faction.
This is also the reason why Bald is very friendly to Bai Wu. He is really worried that Bai Wu will sign the body transformation agreement and become an implantist shortly after entering this building due to his limited ability.
It’s not that he thinks the implant group is not strong, but he always has a sense of crisis.
In fact, the programmer's feeling was correct. The Xie family's system was imitating somewhere outside the tower.
…
…
The interview room on the eleventh floor was easy to find. The moment Bai Wu's fingers touched the door of the interview room, he heard an electronic voice coming from inside the door:
"Citizen number 560205278, Bai Wu, verified. Danger level seven."
Bai Wu was curious about how the seventh level of danger came about and how to judge it, but his thoughts were quickly interrupted.
Because Bai Wu met an acquaintance.
The moment he saw this person, he dreamed of the scene in Jing Si's heart.
"Mo Cheng? Are you the interviewer?"
Mo Cheng.
The first NPC that Bai Wu and Wu Jiu encountered when they were heading to the Heart of Well Four.
The interviewer said:
"Danger level seven means you either have a lot of sequences or a very high companion force. Sir, I don't know how you know my name, but please sit down."
Bai Wu sat down as he was told. The note had explained everything. The person in front of him was not Mo Cheng.
If the areas inside the tower are also divided into various danger levels, then here, at least it is a purple area. Of course, as the purple area continues to improve and imitate the mechanical city outside the tower, this place may slowly turn into a red area, although the degree of danger is far less than that of the mechanical city.
In the near future, you will go to that area to retrieve something from Xie Yingjie. Before that, let's warm up here - in the low-profile mechanical city. Finally, the person in front of you, like the security guard below, is a product of nostalgia.
Bai Wu probably understood that this place... seemed far more complicated than he had imagined.
I'm afraid the number of mechanized "humans" is far greater than I expected.
"Mo Cheng" said:
"From Qin Zong's tone and his past performance data, we concluded that the chance of him visiting us is zero. He is more wary of us than the other families. Therefore, the family head believes that the person he introduces must be worthy of his recommendation. I need to verify it. You can reveal some information."
Bai Wu nodded and asked:
"As an implant, can your master currently communicate with me through you?"
Mo Cheng was a little surprised. He said coldly:
"Of course, the head of the family is in charge of the overall situation."
"So you also know what that guy and I talked about in the elevator just now?"
"What do you want to say?"
"Nothing. The fact that employees can freely complain about their superiors and their jobs in a place with such a high level of surveillance shows that this place has special hiring standards."
"We don't keep waste here. If they are waste, we can transform them into elites. As long as they are useful, verbal and even mental dissatisfaction is allowed."
Bai Wu suddenly remembered that Xie Yingjie and Professor Tao also liked to attack each other, but they tolerated each other because the other was capable.
"I do have very important information, but the person I want to see is not your family head, but your ancestors."
