Survivorship Bias

Chapter 146: Citizen Chip

Views:

There are still five hours before returning to the altar.

Yang Erci asked Zhong Yirou to stay at home to take care of Noah, and she went to the residence of the black market seller with An Wujiu, Shen Ti and Wu You.

The distance between the two addresses tracked by the system was ten kilometers. Originally, everyone decided to split up, but after Wu You checked the two locations carefully on the map, he decided to only go to one of them.

"The other one should be a fake address he made on purpose. That is not accessible to ordinary people. It is the largest wealthy area in City C. It would be difficult for the few of us to get in." Wu You said, "If he really lives there, You don’t have to be so careful.”

Shen Ti smiled, "IQ is on the line, Xiao Youyou."

Wu You rolled his eyes, "Also, the corners of some furniture are occasionally captured in his photos, which look very old. Unless he lives in a rich area and bought a lot of worn-out furniture to make Covering, but there is really no need for that, and the guys in the rich area will not do this kind of job of licking blood with the tip of a knife."

Shen Ti nodded, "It makes sense."

Soon, they arrived at the location—a 48-story old apartment building.

But now, there is a new problem in front of them: how to find this seller.

An Wujiu calculated, "If there are four households on each floor, there are nearly two hundred households in this building."

"We knocked on the door from door to door, and it's probably too late." Wu You looked at the top of the building, "And there must be someone who won't open the door, such as this seller, he is so cautious, he will definitely not come out."

"We may not be able to go up yet." An Wujiu said.

Although this apartment is old, there is a row of card swiping bars blocked between the door and the elevator, probably for swiping chips.

"I'll ask."

Wu You tried to go in, and went upstairs under the guise of visiting his relatives, but the two employees at the front desk stopped him and asked him to let his relatives come down to scan the chip for him.

So Wu You failed and returned, "They won't let me in at all, no matter what I say."

"Both of them can't say?" Yang Erci asked.

Wu You nodded, "Actually, only one person cares about me, and the other seems to be printing something. Anyway, he didn't look at me from the beginning to the end. I guess I'm young."

He is a little regretful.

"Did I startle the snake?"

An Wujiu shook his head, "It can be regarded as ruling out a wrong option."

Now they can't get in, the seller is a very careful person, and he will never leave the apartment building casually, unable to meet, let alone force the other party to sell them the chip.

An Wujiu glanced at the facade of the building. Although it was dilapidated, there were some display screens and projection equipment embedded in it, but these several display screens played the same advertisement.

A general apartment wants to make a profit, nothing more than starting from the inside and outside of the house, and the outside is the advertising on the screen.

He got closer, his eyes locked on one of the display screens, and as expected, he saw a scrolling subtitle at the bottom edge of the screen.

[Please contact the apartment property business for advertising, email: xxxxx@xxx.co, chip call number: xxxxxxx]

An Wujiu suddenly had an idea in his mind, in fact, they could find a way to get in, or they could find a way to get the seller out.

He was about to turn his head and say to Shen Ti, but at this time Shen Ti had already started making calls.

Is it so tacit

While talking on the phone, Shen Ti gestured to other people, pulled them aside, away from the apartment gate, and came to a secluded alley.

"Hello, is this the business department of XX apartment?"

Shen Ti's voice was deliberately suppressed, and it sounded more reliable than usual.

"Yes, what's the matter?"

He played the conversation so that everyone could hear it.

"That's right, I'm Chino Medical Beauty Company. You can understand it as a chain of prosthetic body beauty and plastic surgery institutions. Recently, two branches have landed in City C. We noticed that you have an advertisement intention here, you know , now that prosthetic body surgery has become popular, we want to develop low-end business, and we have been looking for a suitable place to put it in for the past few days. This area is very suitable for our requirements. I would like to ask if it is convenient to talk about cooperation today? It’s just me I’m here on a business trip in City C today, and I have to rush back to the company for a meeting in the evening.”

He uttered these lies almost smoothly and in one go, and he didn't even falsify or narrate the lie at all, even with a smirk of a businessman.

The other party was also conquered by Shen Ti's tone and expressiveness, "Yes, you can come to our apartment directly, and I will greet the front desk. The residential area and office area of our apartment building are separated. They will take you to my apartment building. office."

The first step was already hooked, Shen Ti smiled, "Okay." He said a few polite words in a compliment, and made an appointment with the other party to meet in half an hour before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up, Shen Ti raised his head, and just as he was about to give instructions, he saw Wu You's complex and indescribable expression.

"You are not a fugitive fraudster, you went to the altar in order not to be caught."

Shen Ti put his arms around his chest, "Isn't that right, I tricked you Wujiu brother away after entering the altar."

Wu You choked on him again.

An Wujiu ignored their nonsense, and said directly to Shen Ti, "Your strategy is to force the seller to come out, isn't it?"

"Smart." Shen Ti put his arm around his shoulders, "As expected of a fraudster's wife."

An Wujiu elbowed him, "Stop joking."

Only then did Shen Ti beg for mercy, "Okay, okay, stop making trouble. We are now determined to split up and act, Wu You and Er Ci, you have to help me get something."

"What?" Wu You glanced at him.

"Business card," Shen Ti sent him the name of the medical company that he just made up, as well as fake names and fake contact information, "help me go outside and 3D print one."

Yang Erci nodded, "What about you?"

"Us?" Shen Ti looked at An Wujiu, "Buy a set of clothes, and then compile a piece of code." He borrowed Wu You's host account, pointed to the opposite side, "I will meet you at the tavern opposite in 25 minutes. "

After speaking, they went their separate ways. An Wujiu and Shen Ti found a men's clothing store nearby to buy suits that are more suitable for business people.

As soon as the two entered, the shop assistants from the whole store could not wait to gather around and rush to try on clothes for them.

Shen Ti saves time, doesn't have time to try more, and starts coding while standing, letting An Wugui pick out the clothes. An Wujiu didn't know which one was better for a while, so he chose a three-piece suit with lead gray dark stripes and a vest on a dummy model.

"Exactly, the height of this model is about the same as this gentleman."

An Wujiu nodded, "That's it."

As soon as the suit was put on, Shen Ti who came out of the fitting room was praised by all the shop assistants. An Wujiu was squeezed into the outer circle by them, so he could only look at Shen Ti through the mirror.

Shen Ti's clothes still fit him well, but he couldn't tell if he looked good, so he turned to look for An Wujiu, pushed aside the shop assistants, and walked in front of him, "How is it?"

It was the first time An Wujiu saw him dressed so formally.

"nice."

Just change a set of clothes, and immediately feel like a business elite.

Seeing that An Wujiu said it looked good, Shen Ti prepared to pay without even looking in the mirror, but An Wujiu took the lead.

"I'll buy it for you." An Wujiu thought in his heart that Shen Ti was always spending money, so he probably didn't have many points left, so save him.

But in Shen Ti's eyes, this kindness directly turned into...

"You take care of me."

Shen Ti leaned on An Wujiu like a very handsome boy, "I'm so lucky, the benefactor is so beautiful, it's bloody money."

An Wujiu just pushed him away, telling him not to talk nonsense, Shen Ti nodded obediently, shut his mouth and continued writing code.

It didn't take too long for him to write the code, and it was done in a while. While waiting for the clerk to pack his previous clothes, his eyes shifted to another mannequin.

"Those silver-rimmed glasses," Shen Ti pointed to the model's head, "Can I buy it?"

The clerk looked over, "Well, that's an accessory, it's not for sale."

Shen Ti heard this, and immediately made a sad expression, "It's like this, what a pity."

Another clerk winked at her, and said to Shen Ti with a smile on his face, "Do you want it? I can give it to you. We still have a lot in our warehouse."

Shen Ti's handsome man succeeded in his tricks, and he smiled like a gentleman, "Thank you so much."

After changing into a suit, he put on those thin-rimmed glasses, his whole person exuded a strong aura, but An Wujiu couldn't describe it for a while.

Just when they were about to leave, the beautiful clerk who delivered the glasses plucked up the courage and said to Shen Ti: "If you have time, can I have a drink together at night?"

Shen Ti smiled, "There is time, but..." He embraced An Wujiu who was beside him, and tilted his head towards him, "We have already booked a hotel for tonight."

"There is a saying in Chinese," he looked at the blond shop assistant with a teasing smile in his green eyes, "a spring night is worth a thousand gold."

The clerk was rejected, but his face was red and he was not angry. He just watched the two leave.

An Wujiu was used to being teased by Shen Ti, and even wanted to fight back.

So on the way back, he deliberately imitated what the female shop assistant said just now, and said to Shen Ti: "If you have time tonight, let's have a drink together?"

Shen Ti knew that he did it on purpose, and couldn't suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth.

"It's a pity, I have to go back to that ghostly place on the altar tonight, otherwise..."

He lowered his head and leaned closer to An Wujiu's ear, "Maybe it's really the Spring Festival."

An Wujiu's ears were itchy, as if a feather had fallen from the ears and neck, his whole body seemed to tremble.

"Dirty."

"Is this obscene? I haven't done anything yet." Shen Ti pretended to be wronged, "It's not too late for you to scold me after I do it."

"Okay." An Wujiu raised his eyebrows as he approached the tavern opposite the apartment, "Just wait and let me scold you."

Yang Erci and Wu You had already printed their business cards, and they happened to be walking towards the entrance of the tavern from the other direction. An Wujiu turned his head and saw it.

Shen Ti put his hands in the pockets of his suit trousers, with a cynical face, he looked like a high-society dude, even his tone of voice was careless to the extreme.

"Curse as you please, the more you scold me, the more excited you will be."

An Wujiu turned her head and glared at him, Shen Ti only thought An Wujiu was cute.

If the usual An Wujiu is 100% cute, then he is 100% cute when he is angry.

Wu You looked Shen Ti up and down, and gave An Wujiu a very apt description that An Wujiu had never thought of before.

"It's too refined and scum for you to dress like this."

"Can you say that again?"

Wu You changed his words, "A beast in clothes."

"What should I do now?" Yang Erci asked.

Lord Shen Ti didn't remember the villain's mistakes, he didn't care about Wu You, he turned to Yang Erci and said, "Erci, just pretend to be my assistant and go to the front desk with me." Shen Ti turned to An Wujiu and Wu You Yu said, "You can just watch outside the apartment."

Everyone started to move, and Yang Erci followed Shen Ti into the apartment. The image of Shen Ti immediately caught the attention of the receptionist. Seeing this extraordinary elite smiling and walking towards them, the two receptionists subconsciously stood up, their attitudes were completely different from when Wu You came looking for them just now.

Shen Ti smiled and gave a prepared business card, "I have already contacted your business manager, you should already know."

One of the front desk ladies took the business card respectfully, and nodded with a smile, "The manager called us just now, and it was you. Our manager is now on the 48th floor, you can go directly."

"Thank you very much." Shen Tishi gave a gentle and polite smile, turned around and was about to leave, just as he took a step, he turned back with an expression of remembering something, and said to the front desk, "I'm really sorry, I can trouble you to help Can I do a little favor?"

"You said, we are very happy." The front desk replied immediately.

"Thank God, you are so kind." He turned his head and gave Yang Erci a wink. Yang Erci stepped forward and said to the lady at the front desk: "We were just in time, and I forgot to print out the contract draft, may I borrow your printing equipment?" ?”

One of the receptionists looked at the printing equipment behind him.

Shen Ti laughed immediately and said, "I'm really sorry, I was in a hurry, it's really not polite to talk about cooperation without even bringing a paper contract."

When he smiled, the front desk had nothing to do with him, and the printout was a trivial matter, so he agreed.

"Okay, how do you give us the file?"

"Really? I'm so lucky." Shen Ti smiled and asked Yang Erci to report an email address.

"After you log in, you can see it in the attachment transfer station. The file name is the draft advertising contract."

The front desk complied immediately.

Shen Ti put his hand on the countertop at the front desk, tapping lightly with his fingers.

"Found it, the draft advertising contract..."

The front desk chose to click to open the file. At this moment, their host computer was stuck with a black screen, and the entire hologram was closed.

"What's going on?" The two people at the front desk panicked.

Shen Ti also showed concern, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"Yes, it seems that the system of our apartment is malfunctioning." The front desk lady's face was full of apology, "I'm sorry, maybe we can't print it for you."

Shen Ti smiled generously, "It doesn't matter, you have already helped me a lot. It seems that this time it is destined to use electronic drafting."

"Let me take you to the office." The receptionist stood up.

"No, you should see if the system can be maintained, and we won't trouble you."

After Shen Ti finished speaking, he took Yang Erci to the elevator entrance.

Yang Erci glanced back at the busy front desk, turned his head and asked Shen Ti calmly, "What did you do?"

"It's nothing, just put a small virus, they will be recruited as soon as they open the file, the whole system will be paralyzed, and the registration information of all the residents will be collected into Wu You's backup mailbox, and then a notice will be implanted, Issued to residents of each residential area."

"What announcement?"

The elevator door opened and the two walked in.

Shen Ti pressed a number casually, and glanced at the time displayed in the elevator—3:45 pm.

"The government announced that at 4:00 p.m. this afternoon, personnel from the government's fire department will come to personally inspect the fire protection problems of this apartment. All residents at home will be inspected, and those who are not at home will also be inspected by property personnel."

Yang Erci suddenly realized.

"You're trying to force him out."

"That's right." Shen Ti leaned his back against the inner wall of the elevator, the corners of his mouth curled up, "He is so cautious, of course we can only attack from the source of his caution."

Yang Erci originally thought that Shen Ti entered the apartment in the name of advertising and found the seller, but he didn't expect that this was just the beginning. His real purpose was to plant a government notice in the entire property system, and no one else would be afraid The government is only afraid of people who do black deals.

Fearing raids by the government, he had to leave his residence and take with him illegal "goods."

As long as there are people guarding outside, the guilty seller can fall into the trap.

Yang Erci had to sigh, before she always thought that Shen Ti was smart and lucky, even if he had zero desire to survive, he could turn bad luck into good luck.

Now it seems that he is very smart.

Shen Ti pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Let's go through the motions, let's go out after a while when there are more people."

An Wujiu and Wu You blocked the two exits of the apartment, Wu You was at the main entrance, An Wujiu was at an inconspicuous side door, because he had a premonition that the seller would come out from a side door that was not easy to be found.

Not long after Shen Ti entered, Wu You suddenly received an email with a form attached, which was full of user information.

Wu You flipped through the pages, and fixed his gaze on a user who he found suspicious.

The user's name is not the same as the seller's id, but if the initials of the four names of his wife and children are reversed, they will be exactly the same.

Seeing someone going out from the elevator, his expression was a little nervous, carrying a big black box in his hand, Wu You turned off the form, and saw that the person didn't go to the gate, so he immediately rushed to the place guarded by An Wujiu. door.

Sure enough, when he passed by, the man was blocked by An Wujiu, turned around, and saw Wu You again.

"Don't be afraid." An Wujiu smiled and said to the person in front of him, "We just want to buy something from you."

The seller turned his face away, with a tense expression, his brows were tightened, and the knuckles of his hand holding the box were protruding, "Buying things? I, I don't sell things."

"We are not fishing to enforce the law." An Wujiu said with a calm face, "We just use this little trick because we can't find you and have no other way."

He knew that with this person's level of caution, he would not be able to recognize them for a while, so An Wujiu took the initiative to say, "I just want a chip."

The other party frowned even tighter, "You... haven't?"

Doesn't look like someone without a chip at all.

An Wujiu nodded.

Wu You on the side said, "Let's take a step to talk, Mr. Jones."

When the other party heard him call out his surname, even if he didn't want to, he had no choice but to follow them and leave under the coercion.

They came to a remote alley, found a coffee shop and entered. An Wujiu said to him frankly, "I need a citizen chip, if you don't believe me, you can check if I have a chip on me."

He always spoke with a kind of sincerity buff, the other party thought it was true, but he still opened the box, took out a tool from it and swept it over his body.

Indeed not.

"I don't have a chip in my hand for now." Jones said to An Wujiu.

An Wujiu stared into his eyes, trying to discern the truth of what he said.

"I can wait and make a reservation." He smiled, "I don't have anything else, but I have a lot of money and I am very patient."

Jones hesitated for a moment. Originally, he didn't want to trade in this way, but now his real information has fallen into their hands...

"Okay." Jones agreed.

He opened his suitcase and found a small black box inside, "I didn't want to give it to you, so I lied to you just now."

An Wujiu knew that what he said was a lie, so he didn't point it out, but just smiled, "Since there are ready-made ones, that would be even better."

"But," Jones said to him, "I'm going to offer twice the price for this chip, will you accept it?"

Is this why this chip has not been sold yet

Wu You asked, "How much?"

Jones whispered, "One hundred thousand dollars."

This is about the same number as An Wujiu expected, "Yes, but how can I guarantee that this chip can be used."

"You can pay half of it first, and I will install it for you. You can try to see if you can realize the rights of all citizens, and then pay me the rest. These are all fine."

An Wujiu agreed.

Jones asked for a private room and went in with An Wujiu.

"So it's fake that the government sent someone to check?"

Wu You didn't know what happened, but An Wujiu already smiled and said, "Yes."

"Okay, okay." Jones shook his head and gave An Wujiu an injection of anesthesia, "It's a coincidence that you guys came here, I have kept this chip for a long time, and I am going to stop selling it today, I heard that there are rumors about it now. It's tight, I'm going to squat at home for ten days and half a month without going out."

While talking, he cut open the skin behind An Wujiu's ears, and was about to insert a chip into it, but suddenly found that the structure inside was different from that of ordinary people.

He frowned suspiciously, but he had already transplanted chips to many strange guys with rich experience. He continued to search and found a chip implantation board under his interface module, but This board seems to be very old, like a child's.

But it didn't matter much, and Jones still inserted the nanochip.

"handsome guy."

An Wujiu raised his eyes, "What's wrong?"

"Why is your interface different from others'?" Jones prepared to sew two stitches on him after connecting, "I don't need to open so many for most people, and I can see the implanted version just by swiping open. I've been looking for it for a long time."

An Wujiu didn't feel surprised either, he didn't talk much, "Who knows."

"Well, it's not a big problem. It's just that your chip implant seems to be from your childhood and hasn't been replaced since you grew up. If you have any problems, you can find a prosthetic doctor to have a look."

Almost everyone will change to an implanted version when they become adults. This is a free service. Jones suspects that he has undergone some kind of transformation, maybe it is a mercenary of some big company, and he dare not say too much.

After the implantation was completed, An Wujiu generously did not choose to try it out, but gave him the remaining money directly.

After getting the money and thanking Jones, they split up. After leaving, Jones immediately planned to change the address.

He has been in this business for so long, and this is the first time he has been approached by a buyer, and he feels very guilty.

An Wujiu put on the citizen chip, and he couldn't feel anything at once. Wu You wanted to teach him how to update the identity system, but there was not much time, so they contacted Shen Ti and Yang Erci who came out of the apartment, and went back to the place where the aircraft was parked. place, ready to return to the game lobby.

On the aircraft, Yang Erci turned on the autopilot, and then contacted Zhong Yirou and Noah who were at home.

After receiving them, several people went to the game factory together.

An Wujiu had doubts in his heart, he stretched out his hand to touch the wound where the chip had just been transplanted behind the ear, thinking about what Jones said.

He raised his eyes and asked, "Yirou, if a person's chip implant is still in childhood, will it affect anything?"

"The impact is not so great." Zhong Yirou explained, "Because after everyone becomes a legal adult citizen, many things need to be updated, and the standards are different, so the board will be replaced."

Shen Ti turned to look at him, "What's wrong?"

"I haven't participated in the board change." An Wujiu said softly, "There is a possibility that I was deprived of the chip after I was arrested when I was a child, and I didn't come out until I became an adult."

Shen Ti frowned.

If so, how did An Wujiu get into the altar.

Is it really a modified sample that was put in directly

Everyone returned to the game factory, looked at An Wujiu who was preoccupied, Shen Ti took his hand and pulled him into his arms.

"Going in again soon."

An Wujiu nodded with a confused expression.

Shen Ti smiled, "If I didn't match you up, would you miss me?"

An Wujiu looked at him, blinked slowly, his eyelashes bumped up and down as if listening to some water, and then parted again.

"I'll think about it."

Shen Ti raised his eyebrows, "You will think about it?"

"I think so." An Wujiu was firmer this time, "But I still hope to be matched with you."

Otherwise he must be very disturbed.

"It's okay." Shen Ti lowered his head and kissed his lips, "If I'm not here, it's Xiaobiesheng's newlywed."

what

An Wujiu was about to speak, but was intercepted by Shen Tixian.

"If we get matched again," Shen Ti raised the corners of his lips, "then pray that I can have a spring night."

"you… "

Wu You's unbearable voice came from a distance, "Shen Ti! Can you get in or not!"

"Shut up, I'm making out with your brother Wu Jiu."

The sacrificer of the eighth warm-up match
