"Human genes are evolving. Five years ago, an insect with a gene entropy of 300 could indiscriminately infect half of the bait city. But now, the success rate is less than 20%."
"The brain's research on heredity and gene entropy has made considerable progress. I believe that in the near future, gene matching will help all humans improve infection resistance. But the ethical issues behind it still need to be considered."
"Humanity's genetic resistance is evolving, and the methods of aberration are also changing. Photoelectric radiation and consciousness occupation have appeared in Area 53. Super-abnormal bodies can easily tamper with the order of time and space. The chaos we face may not be limited to the genetic level..."
An Yu was feeling sleepy when a message from Yan Xi popped up on the terminal: the store transfer procedures were about to be completed, and the registered name was "Corner Bakery". Are the two original employees in the store going to stay?
An Yu suddenly became energetic.
-How much is the salary?
-Mrs. Maddie is in charge of baking and earns a monthly salary of twelve thousand. Xu Shuangshuang works as a store manager and earns a monthly salary of 1,000 yuan. It is almost impossible to find lower employment costs in the main city, especially for Xu Shuangshuang. She only needs one thousand yuan for charity. She is not short of money and she just likes working in the bakery.
An Yu immediately asked Yan Xi to leave the person behind, and then clicked on the information of the two employees to take a closer look.
Maddie, 42 years old, has a high nose and deep eye sockets. He has 12 years of baking experience. He is not only proficient in all types of bread, but also likes to develop new flavors.
Xu Shuangshuang, 26 years old, a very smiling girl with a high ponytail, graduated from a top university majoring in energy. After graduation, she became obsessed with investing. She is a very prestigious anonymous investor in the industry. Last year, the average annualized return rate for clients was 45 %, her personal annual income is as high as——
An Yu held the terminal in front of his eyes, "Thirty million?"
The conference hall fell silent for a moment.
The lawful one who was reporting respectfully said: "Master Corner, you heard wrong. Zhaoran's genetic entropy is not 30 million, but 30,000. To be precise, it is 32,000."
An Yu was even more confused.
What is it?
Qin Zhilu glanced at his terminal and said, "Go on."
Sensing the officer's dissatisfaction, An Yu hurriedly replied, "Make sure to keep Xu Shuangshuang", and then pretended to look up at the big screen.
The photo on the screen was taken at the Central Gymnasium. The man in red under the spotlight is tall and slender, with long chestnut hair flowing down to his shoulders. He holds a standing wheat in his hand. His fragile and beautiful face and unruly posture made the audience crazy.
An Yu later realized that Ling Qiu had mentioned the name "Zhaoran" - "a superstar of the era who was born in Bai City. He has countless enthusiastic fans in the main city. Every month, rich people invite him to sing in the main city."
"Three days ago, Zhaoran was attacked by a group of freaks on his way back to Bai City. The soldiers who followed him to protect him unfortunately died, but he completed his transformation. Due to being infected with both leopard and blood sparrow genes, he was initially Double aberration, genetic entropy 32096, it is very rare to retain human will. Unfortunately, he refused to join the lawful camp."
There were sighs.
For the aberrants who retain their human will, the Spire is the only way out. It is impossible for Shangfeng to allow this potential source of infection to return to human society. If he refuses to join the lawful camp, he will be secretly assassinated.
The man sitting opposite Qin Zhilu suddenly said: "I want this man. Whether he wants it or not, just send him to the minaret."
The familiar black rose tattoo was the man Qin Zhilu went to talk to in the church that day.
An Yu clicked on his information.
[Code name: Yan (Jin Xuyan)
Minaret 2 High Floor
Aberrant type: Black Tiger, Black Rose
Gene entropy: 320,000
Combat Specialties: Close combat, crushing, mental abuse (falling into despair)
Comprehensive record: 14.5 billion]
An Yu's eyes lingered on "mental abuse" for a while, because someone mentioned it on the forum just now.
He also clicked on the information of the 198th layer of supervised lawful people. That was a woman codenamed "Mian", whose real name was Shen Che. She was sitting opposite him at the moment. Her temperament was calm and neat, reminiscent of the coldness of a blade.
[Codename: Mian (Shen Che)
198 layers of supervision objects
Immediate superior: Yan
Aberration: Water Lily
Gene entropy: 11024 (initial value)
Combat Specialty: Purification (Seed Infection)
Comprehensive record: 440 million]
Xide raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean by asking for it?"
"My second supervisory position." Jin Xuyan looked at Shen Che, "When someone comes, you can take him to familiarize himself with the environment."
Shen Che said neatly: "Yes."
Xide smiled and said: "There have been a lot of new kids from the top management recently, and we, An Hening, have only been here not long ago."
There were two empty seats next to Bo, and Xide yawned and continued: "An is not in a good mood today, and Ning is staying with him. Alas, the sensitive children are all coming to me."
Bo was surprised: "Sir, do you think I'm also sensitive?"
Xi De smiled and said, "You are the most sensitive."
He opened a can of soda and pushed it over, "Sensitive and emotional are two different things."
Bo took the soda respectfully and said a little at a loss: "If there is anything I am not decisive enough in my mission, please tell me directly, sir, and I will work hard to correct it."
"Who says we can't be decisive in fighting?" Xi De smiled and waved his hand, "Looking at the steeple, apart from the officers, we are the most decisive in fighting."
Several senior executives were laughing. Xi De pressed Bo's head and said, "Top student, relax."
While listening to them, An Yu clicked through all the high-level information cards.
There are currently 5 senior officers in the minaret - the No. 1 officer is Lu, who oversees An Yu. Officer No. 2, Yan, supervises Shen Che. Officer No. 3, Tang Feng, supervises Zhu Tao. Officer No. 4, Xide, supervises Bo, An and Ning. The last officer was code-named Shen Yang, and her distortion type was Shark. She seemed to be on a mission with the person she was supervising and did not arrive.
After An Yu flipped through the information card, he suddenly realized that each team had advantages in the battlefield. For example, the Yan team was good at rainforest swamps, Feng and Zhu Tao were more adapted to the plains, and Xi De and the others were undoubtedly aerial combatants. Shen Yang, who did not appear, One team points directly towards the ocean.
As for him and the commander, it is difficult to locate them. According to the commander's abilities, perhaps the most suitable battlefield is the zoo.
And he wasn't fit to fight.
The bed is where he belongs.
The terminal vibrated, and Yan Xi sent another message.
-The shop procedures and employee contracts are all completed. Congratulations, you are now officially the owner of the corner bakery.
*
The next day.
On the most ordinary afternoon in the main city, a time-honored bakery in the central business district replaced it with a small wooden plaque.
There are a few words written crookedly on the plaque: Corner Bread.
A young old man rushed over from the technology company building opposite. He pushed the door but didn't open it. He looked up and saw the sign on the door - "New menu is in preparation and will open in three days."
He pressed his face against the glass door in confusion and glanced inside.
The interior of the store hasn't changed much, but the bread rack is empty.
Behind the counter, the store manager was still the store manager, but the female boss was nowhere to be seen. She was replaced by a young man with white hair and white clothes, lying on the counter, frowning and thinking in front of a tablet computer.
The younger sister's expression was also more solemn than before.
"Weird." The man muttered and turned to the convenience store next to him unwillingly.
He jogged for two steps and then turned back, quickly took a photo of the store door and sent it to the work group.
-Sad news! The bakery has a new owner, a white-haired antisocial man.
The group that used to only respond with "ok" and "received" exploded instantly, and a string of crying and confused emoticons floated out.
In the store, An Yu held his chin and sighed.
"Do I really want to choose B?"
Xu Shuangshuang slowly raised his head and rolled his eyes at the ceiling for the hundredth time today.
"Boss, if you can trust me, just be more relaxed. If you can't trust me, find someone else." She muttered: "With your little money, 55 million, it's not even enough to rank at the bottom among my clients. I'll blackmail you." what."
An Yu struggled and said: "This is my first investment, let me think again."
His financial ambition is to turn 55 million into 90 million within a year and pay off the money he owes his superiors.
Xu Shuangshuang said that the market is turbulent this year. If you want to achieve an annualized return of more than 60%, you must choose the high-risk portfolio B, but there is a certain probability of loss.
Based on An Yu's habits, he would rather choose combination A, which has an annual growth rate of between 5% and 10%, to ensure harvests during droughts and floods.
Xu Shuangshuang took a deep breath, "Let's put it this way, if you choose B, even if you lose ten points this year, you still have the possibility of doubling your profit next year. But if you choose A, even if you raise 10% every year, it will take six years to reach that point. The expected rate of return is six years! Sister, my children have all gone to the No. 1 Primary School in the main city."
Xu Shuangshuang plans to get married to her fiancé this year. She is thinking about scientific preparations for pregnancy every day and never leaves her child.
An Yu sighed, "Okay then."
Xu Shuangshuang suddenly smiled and rolled his eyes, "That's right, you can rest assured if you vote with me, you will never lose if you bet the last penny in your pocket."
An Yu was suddenly startled when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Ling Qiu's photo on the wall.
Before Ling Qiu died, he said that he had asked him to remind himself that those who dared to bet on his last chance of survival would not lose.
This is so unbelievable. He has never said this to Ling Qiu. These words are even beyond his cognition. It was a bit shocking when he first heard it.
The door curtain behind him was lifted, and the rich aroma of flour came from the baking pan.
Maddie smiled and said: "It's out of the oven! Two kinds of pumpernickel bread, come and try them."
The menu of the corner bakery is about to undergo a major overhaul, and it must all be based on the new owner's vision. The old product only retains Tracy McGrady's specialty multi-cheese sourdough bread, because according to the previous store owner's account - "The recruit named Ling Qiu liked the cheese sourdough bread very much. He ordered half a dozen and said he would take it back to his hometown after the training camp. Brother, try it."
After An Yu saw the pre-order record, he immediately reserved this bread.
"The original semolina bread is made with higher-quality yeast. After being baked in a wind stove oven, excellent pores will be formed, retaining the chewy and grainy texture of wheat kernels. The presence of pores will make it easier to chew. You won’t get choked up as you chew.” Maddie introduced: “The upgraded version replaces the brown wheat with oats and oat bran, and adds a little honey and milk. The taste is softer and more elastic, and is suitable for people who have been tortured by work to the point of muscle weakness. Office workers.”
An Yu tasted two kinds carefully, and his eyes were full of excitement, "Both are good and can be put on the shelves."
Xu Shuangshuang took a photo of the new bread, "I'll send it to our official account and give the new bread a name, boss."
An Yu thought for a while, "The original version is called "Corner Bread" as a sign. Let’s call the upgraded version “Honey Soft Oatmeal”. "
"Okay!"
Tracy McGrady was a little worried, "The pumpernickel bread is indeed delicious, but it doesn't suit the taste of people in the main city. I'm a little worried about sales if it's a signature product."
An Yu shook his head, "It's okay."
He has no ambition to make a lot of money. After the investment income pays off the mortgage, he only needs to be able to support his two employees.
