Chapter 342 This is not a lie, but a look forward to a better future together "I want to return to the company and seize power. You should help me." This sentence was like a huge mountain, weighing down all the senior executives present, making them feel depressed. In such a short period of time, I even forgot to breathe! There's no way this sentence is too deadly! The most terrifying thing happened! What is Xu Gu going to do? High EQ: Seize power! Medium EQ: Rebellion! Low emotional intelligence: seeking death! If the power grab fails, Xu Gu, as the founder of Pangu Biological Company, will still have his identity, connections, and shares, so his end will definitely not be too tragic. But these little Karamis are really living a life worse than death.

Just... reject Xu Gu? They had indeed discussed this before. But not long ago, they received a piece of news that a super sixth-level combat corps that was dispatched by the head office was originally intended to stop Xu Gu, but most of them were dispersed. They are just a few high-ranking corporate dogs, so how dare they refuse Xu Gu? As the saying goes, they are caught between a rock and a hard place, with hell both ahead and behind. This is the situation they are facing now. Xu Gu looked disappointed, as if he was looking at a few idiots and said, "You deserve to be company dogs for the rest of your lives. "Rejecting me will make your life worse than death, and failing to seize power with me will also make your life worse than death. So, besides trying your best to succeed in seizing power with me, do you have any other way out?" "Uh……" Hong Yingying was speechless. Several other senior executives were also stunned, with strange expressions on their faces. This is the truth, but why does it always feel like something is wrong? So, for being able to follow the company founder in this life-threatening task of seizing power, they should thank the honorable founder? Thank you, the honorable founder, for giving them a glimmer of hope? "Do you know the combat regiment that Blake belongs to?" Seeing that they were in a daze, Xu Gu was not surprised, but he still decided to knock them down. Hong Yingying paused for a moment and said faintly, "I know. Although 70% of the combat troops led by Admiral Black are mercenaries from various places. “But it is also a veritable sixth-level corps. "As a result, they surrendered to the noble founder and were completely annihilated." “Who is Yin Yang?” Xu Gu raised his eyebrows and kicked the office chair containing Hong Yingying’s consciousness, and said, “Blake betrayed me, so they are gone. “They should be thankful that I do not agree with the permanent wage earner plan. “Otherwise, their consciousness will be captured before they die and uploaded to the virtual world. From then on, they will work for the company forever and non-stop, providing emotional value or services to respected customers all the time in the virtual world. "Of course, for your sake, I might be able to change some of my outdated views." Several executives present at the scene turned pale in an instant, and were extremely frightened and sweating profusely.

The look he gave Hong Yingying was also full of resentment. It seems like he is blaming the CEO, asking why he needs the yin and yang of the noble founder. Now, the consequences of rejection or betrayal are even worse! As for Xu Gu's words that 'he destroyed the entire combat corps because Admiral Blake betrayed him', they did not question it. It's simple. If it were them, they would definitely find a way to betray. Seeing that the knocking was almost over, Xu Gu asked, "What do you think of our invitation?" "We firmly support the resolution of the founder and major shareholder!" Hong Yingying expressed her sincerity directly and with a firm attitude. Several other senior executives also expressed their opinions and decided to do it. As Xu Gu said, they had no way out, and only by doing this could they have a chance of survival. Xu Gu nodded with satisfaction. The reason why he took a tough stance was that he was just using intimidation rather than bribery, and the reason was very simple: "capital is weak." These corporate dogs, as appendages of capital, are even weaker. As long as their foundation is threatened and they are left with a glimmer of hope, they will never think of revenge or resistance, but will only madly dive into the "hope of life" reserved for them. Therefore intimidation is effective. The prerequisite is the ability to intimidate. This was also the reason why he had designed a plan to trap and kill Blake's combat corps and the newly formed super sixth-level combat corps not long ago, in order to show the world his means and strength. If you bribe someone, a lot of trouble will arise. Once the interests are brought into question, these company dogs will really make serious calculations and think about how much profit they can eventually get by following Xu Gu to seize power, how big the risk is, and then weigh whether it is worth the risk. And how much profit can be gained and what risks will be involved if he plans to betray and sell out Xu Gu. Even if they really agree at this moment, when they execute it, if they find that the risks are getting bigger and bigger and the losses are getting higher and higher, will they choose to stop loss directly? During this period, they may also encounter better "projects" with high profits and low risks. In that case, will they be more likely to turn to new projects? Therefore, before getting them to make up their minds to follow me, I must not bribe them, but only use threats to completely cut off their retreat. After everyone swore allegiance and signed the contract, Xu Gucai said: "Don't worry, I won't do anything if I'm not sure of it. “Since I dared to return and decided to fight for power, I naturally have enough confidence. "When the power grab is successful, I will naturally reward you handsomely for your meritorious service. At that time, all your company loans will be eliminated, and you will all get company shares, directly jumping from corporate dogs to top-tier capital." "call!" The breathing of several senior executives suddenly quickened, their hearts were burning with desire.

Although, they have reached this position, each of them is an elite corporate dog among millions, and they have eaten at least 8,000 pieces of cake. But they are still difficult to resist. The temptation is too great for them to pay off the loan, own company shares, become a shareholder, get rid of the huge debt, and get rid of the smelly identity of corporate dogs. Xu Gu nodded with satisfaction. At this time, by promising benefits and enticing others, he could fully mobilize the other party's enthusiasm. "Dear founder, what should we do? Should we form an expeditionary force now?" Hong Yingying asked with concern. Several other senior executives also gradually calmed down and looked at Xu Gu. That's the most important thing. Seizing power requires not just words but also concrete actions! Xu Gu said casually: "It's too troublesome to form an expeditionary force." "Where?" Hong Yingying's eyes flickered, as if she knew what Xu Gu was thinking: "I know there is a relic from the Great Glory Period near P City. There may be a quasi-level 7 prosthetic or cutting-edge technological weapons inside." "Smart." Xu Gu praised and said, "But we still need to form an expeditionary force. The power of P City alone is not enough. We should unify the surrounding towns, scavenger tribes, and underground gathering places." "This...will it be..." Hong Yingying hesitated: "Some difficulties?" "Just tell them exactly what I told you." Xu Gu said casually. Forming an expeditionary force and unifying the surrounding small forces is just a casual move, and it doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not. "This... is!" Hong Yingying took a deep breath and was in a bad mood. Because things are done in secrecy, if Xu Gu was told on a large scale that he was going to lead a rebellion, someone would definitely try to betray him, and the news would leak out and be known by the head office. As the founder of the company, Xu Gu would definitely not be so stupid as to not know about this. Unless he treats the P City Expeditionary Force and other surrounding forces as cannon fodder! This action was obviously no different from the one that the combat corps used to kill Blake. "I hope I won't be among the cannon fodder." After thinking this, Hong Yingying issued one order after another, and began to form an expeditionary force to subdue the surrounding forces. Then she looked at Xu Gu. "Get ready, follow me to conquer that secret realm and take out the quasi-level seven cutting-edge technology inside." Xu Gu said to Hong Yingying and several other senior executives on the scene: "This matter should be kept secret and not leaked at all. Otherwise, you will receive the eternal gift package." "Yes!" Several senior executives couldn't help but feel happy and all breathed a sigh of relief. They were ordered to keep it secret, which means they are not cannon fodder, but are in the core layer! At least that's the case for now. As long as you don't make any mistakes and perform well, you can stay in the core layer. In cyberpunk, a world where all power depends on external forces, there is no such thing as falling behind due to lack of strength. As long as you have advanced enough equipment, your strength can become infinitely stronger! In other words, as long as they can continue to be valued by Xu Gu, they will be able to receive various rewards, improve their combat effectiveness, and continue to be valued by Xu Gu. Xu Gu temporarily settled down in the branch office and rested for a day. During this period, Hong Yingying and other branch executives collected and organized various information about the relics of that glorious era and formulated several extremely detailed plans.

Moreover, unimaginable financial support has been invested in this project. Of course, since the head office didn't know about their rebellion and Xu Gu didn't want to pay, they spent more time thinking about how to get the head office to agree to let them carry out this project and how to get more funds approved for the operation. Fortunately, the super sixth-level combat corps was destroyed by Xu Gu not far from P city. They used the excuse of opening the relics of the glorious era to obtain powerful equipment to deal with Xu Gu. In the end, the project was approved and successfully obtained huge operational funds. In a luxurious residence like that of a high-class celestial dragon. Xu Gu did not enjoy the air everywhere, but he had to spend one thousand Pangu coins to breathe one cubic meter of high-quality air, and three thousand Pangu coins to drink one hundred milliliters of pure water to fill the huge swimming pool. Made with a variety of pollution-free, non-synthetic vegetables and meat, these exquisite pre-prepared meals can be sold for ten thousand yuan per portion outside. "What kind of garbage is this." Xu Gu is also a top figure in the origin world. What kind of immortal energy, holy water, elixir, dragon liver and phoenix marrow has he not enjoyed? In the eyes of Hong Yingying and other senior executives of the P City branch, these are top-level configurations. Even when they are on their daily business trips, they don't dare to be so extravagant. But in Xu Gu's eyes, it was real garbage. Of course, Xu Gu came from a poor family, so he was naturally able to endure hardships. He didn't care about the harsh environment, but took out a magic bottle. "Buzz!" In the bottle was a pool of black, viscous liquid that was as dark as petroleum. After sensing Xu Gu's movement, the pool of liquid began to wriggle and made a buzzing sound. "How is it?" Xu Gu said with a smile, "Do you want to eat my cake now?" The viscous liquid in the bottle naturally did not answer. However, the buzzing sound became more frequent, and the excitement and shock were visibly visible to the naked eye. It was not any other item but the large amount of dark spores that Xu Gu had seized from Governor Blake's fleet. Xu Gu chuckled, "Are you surprised? Can't figure out why you lost contact with your mother body? That's right. “Now I’m just asking you one last time. "Do you want to get rid of the Matrix's control? Become an independent entity outside of the Matrix, or even devour the Matrix and complete a counterattack?" This part of the dark spores had tempted him before. Want Xu Gu to accept cooperation. But Xu Gu tempted it with words instead. It is said that it can help it replace its mother.

At that time, this part of the dark spores did not respond at all. But if it could express emotions, it would definitely roll its eyes and think Xu Gu was a fool. It is part of the mother, and part of the mother is it. How could it possibly want to replace the mother? But now, facing Xu Gu's repeated questions, it was shaken and even moved. Because its connection with the mother body was severed, it became an independent individual. Since it was the only dark spore in the world, it even became a little inflated and felt that it was extremely powerful and should be independent and replace the mother body. "Then let's sign the contract." Xu Gu said casually, "I will make a set of rules, and you can only act within the rules." Dark Spore showed resistance. Xu Gu said coldly: "You have no choice. "Either I kill you, or you follow my instructions and I will help you get rid of the Matrix's control and replace it with the Matrix." There was certainly no way to threaten the Dark Spores before. The other party is just a tiny fragment of the Dark Emperor, equivalent to a mosquito-sized piece of flesh and blood on a human body. No one will be threatened to compromise because of this little piece of flesh and blood. But it’s different now. Now this part of the dark spores is temporarily a new individual and has the ability to think independently. Rather than an insignificant part of the Dark Emperor. If you threaten it with its life, it will naturally panic and be afraid. As expected, the dark spores that wanted to protest suddenly became quiet. Xu Gu then comforted him, "Don't worry, these rules are not too restrictive to you. They are just to prevent you from endlessly expanding and eventually swallowing up the entire world." The dark spores are sweeping across the world in order to consume the entire world. It is not so difficult to deal with it in the early stage of expansion, as it only eats some coal, steel, gold, silver and other things. When the expansion is over, its appetite increases greatly, and these things naturally cannot satisfy it, so it will swallow other things. Until the whole world is eaten. That's why Xu Gu established rules to prevent it from growing disorderly! "Buzz!" After listening to Xu Gu's explanation of the "rules", the Dark Spore finally agreed after a brief thought. "Sure enough, he doesn't have any brains." Xu Gu couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. Just as he guessed, these dark spores were relatively small in number and had just gained independent consciousness, so they were a little stupid. The rules he made actually have a lot of traps. But the dark spores were completely unaware of this. Or maybe it realizes it, but it has no choice. As long as it can have relative freedom, it is always better than being absolutely dominated by the mother body. Then, under Xu Gu's instructions, it covered Xu Gu's fusion-level puppet, causing the puppet's aura to surge.
