The next day, Sheyan got up early in the morning, and after enjoying a hearty breakfast, he took a taxi to Eleventh Street, where Sebotin Computer Company was located. The traffic on the street was relatively smooth when they set off, but when they were about to arrive at their destination, they experienced the serious traffic congestion in the super metropolis of Los Angeles, which was even worse than the era that Sheyan entered.
In desperation, Sheyan got out of the car and walked after finding out the address of Sebotin Computer Company. Fortunately, the company's headquarters is extremely magnificent, even among the high-rise buildings in Los Angeles, it can be said to stand out from the crowd, and the company's huge LOGO can be seen from a distance almost when looking up, so Sheyan has no possibility of getting lost.
But from the time he got off the car, Sheyan felt a strong sense of danger in his heart, as if standing on the top of a high-rise building and looking down from a bird's-eye view without guardrails, and the closer he got to the place, the feeling of danger The thicker it is...
Fortunately, Sheyan's destination was not this huge and dangerous company, but the Buster's Steakhouse hundreds of meters away next to it. Generally speaking, the environment of this steakhouse is not very good. It is old and greasy everywhere. The leather upholstery on the chairs is cracked and cracked. However, it should be because the taste is quite good, and it still tends to be overcrowded. Sheyan waited a long time. It took half an hour to get a seat.
Although Fang Sheyan only consumed a cup of coffee at the seat, but in front of the generous tip, the waiter can be said to know everything without saying anything. Thirty seconds later, Sheyan knew that the middle-aged bald, rosacea-nosed man sitting next to him in the third row was the target of his trip: Engineer Vincent. He also knew that it would be some time before he left after breakfast.
Obviously, Engineer Vincent has a good appetite. There are several stacked empty plates on his table. When Sheyan looked over, he was dealing with a sandwich with bacon, and swallowed it by the way. He took a mouthful of warm oatmeal with milk, patted his chest contentedly, and picked up half of the Russian sausage.
Sheyan beckoned and paid Engineer Vincent's bill, but his behavior did not win the latter's friendship. Vincent wiped his mouth with a handkerchief whose color could not be seen clearly, looked over with a vigilant eye, and said in a very impolite way:
"I'm not going to look at you differently because of that bill, boy, no one can make me put water on the interview."
The engineer really had a bad personality as stated in the task evaluation. But Fang Sheyan was not discouraged, but stared into Vincent's eyes seriously and said:
"Oh, I have no interest in working at Serpentine Computers - by the way this is not meant to disparage your company in the slightest - five minutes, Mr. Vincent, I only need five minutes of your time, if here If you still want to leave after that, I will take the initiative to open the door for you."
Fang Senyan said while he noticed Vincent's slightly yellowed index finger, so he took out a Havana shredded cigar from his pocket, cut it and handed it over. Apparently, the $100 cigar managed to cushion the impatience and arrogance of Vincent's engineers. He let out a cold snort from his nostrils, lit this deep-colored, strong, powerful, and imposing cigar, took a puff lightly, let the mellow smoke linger in his mouth for a moment, and then exhaled gently when it reached his throat , and then slightly closed his eyes:
"Speak."
Fang Senyan paused for a moment, giving the impression that he was seriously preparing words, and then said:
"I'm a resident who lives near Seventy-seventh Avenue—the place where a large-scale terrorist attack was rumored to have taken place yesterday."
Vincent nodded, indicating that he knew about it, and then said indifferently:
"Four more minutes."
"There was a violent explosion near my house. At that time, I was taking a nap at home, and the glass of the window was completely broken. After a while, the downstairs was surrounded by the police. After the police lifted the guard, I was cleaning the room. Found this."
After Fang Sheyan finished speaking, he stretched out his palm. In his palm lay a seemingly ordinary object, but it was shining with a strange light blue electric light. It was the mission prop: the main CPU chip (incomplete) !
Vincent was puffing out clouds with his eyes closed, ready to express his perfunctory arrogance, but when he saw the thing in Fang Sheyan's hand, he first glanced at it briefly, then his face gradually became serious, and then He even sat up straight and took the chip from Sheyan's hand.
This Vincent engineer is capable, and was once one of the main project leaders in the company, but he is usually unkempt, and his personality is quite irritable and weird, which offended many people. In recent years, he has been gradually marginalized by the top management.
Still, Vincent heard yesterday that the FBI had recovered "some items that are substantially beyond the state of the art" and had been handed over to the company's headquarters. (According to the description of the movie plot: the Skynet system was originally developed through the remaining chips and body of the T-800). However, the headquarters had already held a meeting overnight, and handed over all these things to the R&D department chaired by Mos Dyson, obviously excluding Vincent—you can imagine his mood, and this indirectly became Fang Senyan's The main reason why I didn't get a good face when I came here.
After Vincent brought the chip over, the more he looked at it, the more he devoted himself, his eyes showed a kind of fanaticism, and he muttered to himself:
"Such a linear conduction method... How could there be a carbon-based structure? I'm afraid there will be more than one hundred million electronic points on it! Damn it, what did my eyes see? Wireless functional base point, how is this possible, Rafael , go and activate the electric shock module, Raphael, pull... "
At this time, Sheyan also received a reminder of the Mark of Nightmare.
You managed to give Vincent access to the main CPU chip (defective)
Side Quest: Contact (Completed)
You can choose from the following options to receive rewards:
A: Give the chip to Vincent, get him a certain (10~25) favorability point, and a small amount of reward. The degree of fluctuation of favorability is directly related to the charm value of the contractor.
B: Sell the chip to Vincent to reduce (30~50) points of favorability to you, as well as a medium reward. The fluctuation of favorability is directly related to the charm value of the contractor.
Vincent, who was immersed in his thoughts, suddenly came to his senses, because Sheyan simply took the chip back from his palm, and said with a hateful and sincere smile:
"Now, Mr. Vincent should have time to discuss the relevant price issues with me, right?"
Vincent didn't react for a while, and said in astonishment:
"What? What price?"
Sheyan smiled and said:
"The price for transferring this chip to you."
Vincent's expression suddenly became ugly, he lowered his voice, stared at Sheyan and said:
"How much do you want? One thousand dollars, two thousand dollars? Ten thousand dollars, SHIT! Don't go too far, I just need to call, and the cute policeman will rush in and arrest you, a greedy guy!"
"But the police also won't hand over the chip to you!" Sheyan smiled, but his eyes were as sharp as needles! Although he didn't know Vincent's situation at this time, he pointed out the key point.
"Also, Mr. Vincent, please note that I have now confirmed the authenticity and value of this item from you, so you are no longer my only potential customer. If the price you offer cannot satisfy me Satisfied, then I thought maybe other engineers at Septin would make a generous offer."
Vincent's face was livid with anger. He stood up and walked back and forth like a desperate beast trapped in a cage. He muttered unwillingly, probably a slang word from his hometown, and then took out all the banknotes in his wallet When I got out, I also put on a pocket watch with a gold case that looked very old, with 1944 on the case.
"You greedy devil! Take it, damn it, this watch is one of my father's relics, and then you can hand over that magic chip and disappear from my face as quickly as possible, with Roll as far as you can! It's best that I never see your greedy face!"
Sheyan also instantly obtained the information of these two items:
U.S. dollars (397): currency in circulation, valuables, can be carried out of this world, or sold to space for 133 general points.
Swiss Gold Case Pocket Watch (1944)

Note: The U.S. dollars that Sheyan consumes in this world are the same as ordinary currency, and there will be no special instructions for the nightmare mark. The same is true for ordinary pocket watches, and they cannot be taken out of this world.
Looking at these two items, Sheyan was not in a hurry to reach out for them, but held the chip, with a mysterious smile on his lips, and shook his head slightly. There was a fierce light in Vincent's eyes, and he said in a threatening tone:
"Young man, those who are too greedy will be found by Satan."
Fang Senyan sighed. At this moment, he deeply experienced the joy of a profiteer at the negotiating table bit by bit to squeeze out other people's bottom-line interests:
"Dear Mr. Vincent, please don't get me wrong, I just want to ask you another question."
Vincent stared at Fang Senyan's left hand holding the chip, his rosacea and bald head were covered with shiny oil stains, and he growled in a low growl that he was trying to suppress:
"What else do you want to do!"
Sheyan suddenly spread his palms, and two identical chips appeared in his palms! This made Vincent's eyes suddenly widen like dead fish, and then froze. It can be imagined that Vincent's heart was beating violently at this time, pumping blood violently into the cerebral vessels.
"I just want to ask, if the two chips are sold to you together, what price can you sell them for?"
…
