"Let's see a prosthetic doctor later to help you plug the hole in your head."

When the big elevator broke down and was waiting to be restarted, Booker looked at Liao Qi who had put on his peaked cap again and said:

"You have to look like a normal person, otherwise you'll scare the kids in Chiron House."

Chiron House is an orphanage funded by the Icarus Liberation Front on the second floor of the resettlement area. However, according to Jiang Zhou, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it "Zhongsi Academy" - most of the people adopted there are the orphans of those members of the organization who sacrificed their lives heroically.

"Maybe they'll think it's cool."

Jiang Zhou answered absentmindedly.

In Liao Qi's memory, he was inexplicably popular with the children of Chiron House, especially the boys. Every time he was punished to do voluntary work due to disciplinary violations, the group of children would always surround him on three levels inside and outside, pestering him to tell all kinds of stories about the low-class streets.

It annoys him every time.

Maybe it's Liao Qi's bad temperament that he used to be a gangster on the streets, which naturally attracts these boys at a restless age.

But this also made the aunt in charge who was responsible for taking care of the children very dissatisfied with Liao Qi. Because he was worried that he would lead those children astray, every time he went to volunteer, the supervisor there would give him a bad look.

"That's more cause for concern."

Booker nodded and said.

"So where we're going next is Chiron's House?"

Jiang Zhou asked.

"Yes, the organization's multi-purpose printer has always been hidden there."

Booker told this most top-secret information as if nothing had happened.

"What?!"

Jiang Zhou, who was a little distracted at first, looked at Booker with wide eyes after hearing these words, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Are you all crazy? What will those children do if they are discovered by outsiders?"

He couldn't even imagine what would happen.

"It is precisely because it is hidden there that the multi-purpose printer held by the organization has never been discovered."

To this, Booker gave a serious answer.

He then added:

"And this was also the original idea of ​​Team Leader Koret. As far as the results are concerned, even when Pluto's deep-diving punishment troops came to the settlement area, they did not find the true location of the printer."

What if it is discovered?

Jiang Zhou thought.

"In short, we need to restart the multi-purpose printer immediately and activate the transformation authority and material reserves previously reserved by the organization. We must step up our efforts to cultivate a group of reliable combat forces to re-maintain the order of the various underground levels in the settlement area and our sphere of influence."

Booker revealed his future plans.

"What about the qualification assessment?"

Jiang Zhou asked.

Even if we ignore the dangers of diving into the abyss and dark web to salvage and transform permissions, and collecting enough materials for printing, adjusting human transformation is an extremely risky matter.

The risk here does not refer to the process of transformation - as a miracle left by the super artificial intelligence "Janus", unless there is a problem with the provided permissions or materials, the multi-purpose printer has no record of transformation failure so far. .

The real risk comes after the transformation, when the adjusted people gain perceptions and abilities far beyond those of native humans. Because they cannot bear the new way of cognition, their mental index deteriorates sharply and they become antisocial that ordinary people cannot understand. A madman, or simply a rampaging monster.

In the past, organizations had to conduct extremely strict assessments on those members who needed to be transformed by adjusters. It is not only about background, birth, personality, and firmness of belief, but more importantly, it is an examination of the stability of the mental index.

Anyone whose mental index is easily affected will have their application for transformation rejected - Liao Qi has submitted four applications in the past, but they were all rejected without exception.

Ikaros may even be stricter than many companies in its review of adjuster transformation. But for this reason, there are very few adjusters under the Icarus Liberation Front who suffer from high-risk cyberpsychosis.

But now, according to Booker, he seems to be planning to quickly cultivate a group of quick adjusters at any cost.

"Now is a special period, and some special plans must be implemented to maintain the overall situation. As for those hidden dangers, we have to wait until we survive the present before we are qualified to solve them in the future."

Booker said this, and then he looked at Liao Qi:

"Are you very opposed to this plan?"

Jiang Zhou shook his head:

"I know this is forced by the situation, so of course I won't object, it's just..."

He said, looking up at Booker with firm eyes:

"If the current situation is really as bad as it is now, I hope that the subsequent transformation will start with me."

…………

"No, I can't let you take this risk."

136 shook his head firmly and firmly rejected Jiang Zhou's request to absorb the fifth piece of tactical memory before diving into the abyss and dark web.

There was less than thirty minutes left before they dived into the abyss dark web to start their first salvage operation. And Jiang Zhou didn't discover until now that with 2 brains... well, maybe 1.92 brains, his resistance to the mental pollution caused by absorbing tactical memory is far more than twice that of ordinary people.

If we use an analogy, it is similar to the mage character in the game. Not only does it have double the blue bars, but the mana recovery speed is also double that of ordinary people.

He felt that before he dived, he could open his brain and continue to absorb the experience of at least two tactical memories.

But this time, no one, including Qianxia Sakura, dared to let him do this.

Adjusted people's mental index is not healthier than ordinary people, or it may be precisely because of those neurological modifications that the stability of their mental index is much worse than that of ordinary people.

Therefore, when they saw that this native born in the low-tech tribe in front of them had absorbed four pieces of tactical memory in less than twelve hours, and his mental state was still ridiculously healthy, they could still talk to them. You laughed and even said that he could have two more pieces, but refused to let him continue to absorb it at any cost.

Not only did he refuse to let him continue to absorb it, he even wanted to immediately travel back to a few hours ago and slap himself in the face several times.

What a huge waste!

The stability of this person's mental index is probably not that of a one-in-a-million talent. He is the kind of naturally chosen adjuster who can go to extreme lengths to achieve deep transformation without going crazy.

Given time, it is not impossible to be able to break through the limits of human intelligence in Depth 7 like the former mercenary kings of "Zero Sum", "Jazz" or "Clockwork" and become a one-man country that can compete with corporate power. !

Now using this kind of "electronic stimulant" that drives cannon fodder to death to contaminate the mental index of such geniuses is simply a waste of resources.

"TMD, B6, has your brain been kicked by a donkey? You actually let a person with this kind of talent waste his mental index on..."

Pulling Black Falcon-136 aside, Chinatsu Sakura pointed at the tactical memories lined up in a row with her finger trembling slightly, and said in a low voice:

"Wasted on this non-burnable garbage for cavemen?"

Black Falcon-136 looked at Qianxia Sakura with an innocent face and said:

"I was trying to stop him before. Didn't you advise me to respect his decision?"

"You just listen to what I'm trying to persuade you to do? Then I tell you to die and you die? Can't you convince me in turn, you idiot?"

After Qian Xiaying finished scolding, she seemed to feel that it was a bit offensive again, but looking at the confused expression on 136's face, she was immediately discouraged.

"In short, Theseus' talent must not be noticed by Pluto's deep dive people. Otherwise, God knows what kind of monsters those turtle bastards can use him to create.

"Then we must find a way to get Theseus out of prison. Hasn't he already joined our organization? As long as the organization's multi-purpose printer is not lost, given time, we might be able to have one of our own. City."

Chinatsu Sakura said slightly excitedly.

"What if someone in the company discovers his talent?"

136 was silent for a while, and then asked.

The expression on Qianxia Ying's face suddenly calmed down.

"In that case... I'm afraid we can only kill him before the company takes him away."
