Chapter 1427: Chapter 779: The Old Man on Ginkgo Mountain
Qing Chen had exploited many bugs before, but it was the first time he discovered that when Jindai’s consciousness transfer technology reached the hands of the Qing Clan House Master, it could exploit such a god-like bug.
Compared to this bug, only the perfect combination of the Death Shroud and Da Yu could be considered equivalent.
A person’s energy is limited, and being able to accomplish one thing well in a lifetime is already quite impressive.
To be a good quartermaster, you first need to know where resources come from, how material collection will affect finances, how long it takes to transport to the front lines, and what difficulties might arise in between.
To understand the operating model of a corporate economy, the best way is to be responsible for auditing. The best auditor knows all the tricks; they know how to investigate fake accounts, how to find real economic data, know the gray areas of each project, and know how each project plays tricks to deceive the clan.
Qing Chen lacks logistics experience? No problem.
Qing Chen lacks auditing experience? Still no problem.
Qing Chen lacks experience in managing cities and corporations? Still no problem.
Qing Chen lacks experience in managing military affairs? Still no problem.
Qing Chen lacks experience in dealing with politicians? Even less of a problem.
There are several ready-made experience packages for you here; their lifetime experiences and memories are reserved just for you. A life is exchanged to save Qing Chen from a detour.
This is the birthday gift given by a Qing Clan House Master to his son.
In this world, is there a more ruthless birthday gift than these nine lives? Perhaps not.
Previously, Qing Chen was still wondering why, after the battle at Taboo Land No. 002, the Family Head, knowing that the clan was already in turmoil, took no action.
The Family Head was well aware that during his own seclusion in the mountains, someone from his own faction was constantly being persuaded by other factions, and he even knew who these people were, yet this Family Head did not take any action. Instead, he kept the other side alive and well.
The Family Head knew that the opponents would use the claim “Qing Chen had already been usurped” to attack him, yet he was not the least bit worried; instead, he turned it into an opportunity, gifting Qing Chen with a… the most ruthless birthday present.
It was only then that Qing Chen understood that the other party had already planned everything step by step, and waited until he reached City No. 5 for a perfect conclusion.
Keeping these people around was just because they were still useful.
Qing Chen sighed, “Too ruthless.”
“Ruthless?” Qing Ji said casually, “These people weren’t just betraying the Family Head; they were betraying the clan. Collaborating with Chen Yu of the Chen Clan to encircle and kill their own Shadow, handing over their core technology, initiating a civil war when faced with external threats—such people deserve no pity. The old man has been silent for too long on Ginkgo Mountain, and they all thought the old man had become muddled. The quieter the old man was, the more they believed they had a fighting chance, even genuinely thinking it was an evenly matched battle. Now, see, all the bold ones have jumped out.”
Qing Ji continued, “Originally, the old man wanted to teach you personally how to be a Family Head, but he didn’t have much time left. What he could do was leave these people behind and then give them all to you.”
While Qing Ji and Qing Chen were talking, the nine people had already been completely controlled.
Qing Ji said to Qing Chen, “Go and get these experience packages. No matter what, you must clear the suspicion of possibly being usurped today. How can the future head of the family bear this kind of suspicion?”
“Will they become vegetative?” Qing Chen asked calmly.
“That depends on whether you want them to become vegetative,” Qing Ji laughed, “After the neuron interface, you can choose to keep the memories you want, and the rest will be downloaded back into their brains. What to keep and what to discard—you have the right to decide.”
The principle of usurpation is to use neuron interfacing technology to upload all the opponent’s consciousness into the nanorobots, and then use the nanorobots to download and overwrite the consciousness into Qing Chen’s mind.
This technology is actually reversible. As long as Qing Chen finishes reading the memory and lets the nanorobots download the opponent’s consciousness back to the cerebral cortex, the opponent will not become vegetative.
Qing Ji said, “The Family Head advises you to read only their useful skill experiences, as for the useless emotional experiences, return them. After the usurpation ends, someone will naturally send them to court for proper trial, as the Qing Clan House Master cannot bear the infamy of using wicked means to kill.”
Qing Chen sighed, “You all are really considerate.”
He walked up as the mute servant attached two tubes to Qing Chen’s temples, while on the other side, Qing Shou’s head was connected to the nanorobot infusion tubes.
The banquet hall was dead silent; everyone watched this scene blankly, and some even began to shiver.
At the same time, some wanted to send a warning, but found that the signal here had been completely blocked.
As the mute servant adjusted the data and pressed the start button, the mercury-like nanorobots were infused into the bodies of both people…
Time ticked by, second after second.
Qing Chen quickly categorized and summarized Qing Shou’s memories, retaining only Qing Shou’s logistics management experience and secrets, while the other emotional memories were returned as garbage.
Qing Chen opened his eyes, having absorbed in a few minutes the logistics management experience that the opponent had spent twenty years exploring.
On the other side, Qing Shou also opened his eyes, looking bewildered.
At this moment, Qing Shou only felt something missing from his mind but couldn’t remember what the missing content was.
