Wake up feeling refreshed.
Looking at the time, Xu Mu found that his sleep time was getting shorter and shorter.
If I say that in my previous life I was a humble substitute player, and I slept seven or eight hours a day, it was almost as if I hadn't slept at all, and even in my dreams I wanted to take orders to make money to support my livelihood.
Since entering the copy era and successfully completing "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", Xu Mu found that his sleep quality has improved a lot.
I still sleep eight hours a day, but I feel much more energetic than in my previous life. I speak with full energy and walk with a breeze.
After going through several dungeons, I now only need to sleep for about six hours to fully recover my energy.
The energy consumed in the dungeon can also be replenished during a sleep.
It was already past midnight.
After Xu Mu quickly ate something, he summoned the Blood Moon Emblem and returned to the dimensional world.
I stopped by my own guild to touch Xiao Ai's little melon and brush her favorability as usual.
After attracting traffic to his own guild two or three days ago, Xiao Ai has strictly followed the requirements in the past few days and has approved nearly two to three hundred players to enter.
The guild's experience bar also gradually increased by nearly a hundred points.
In the early hours of the morning, this group of players were still active in the guild chat channel.
He also enthusiastically shared the strategies he had just learned.
"Passing on the Torch: Brothers, is there anyone playing this dungeon in Plants vs. Zombies? It's a C+ level dungeon. I just downloaded it a day ago. The profit is not bad. I can go up ten levels after playing a game. It is recommended to plant a variety of sunflowers at the beginning, and then use nuts to block zombies... After the mid-game, you can change the formation like this..."
"Moli sent: Thank you, Mr. Xinhuo!"
"Zhu Guli: Xinhuo boss is awesome!"
"Brother Jie, don't say: Wow, it's so lively, then I'll also share a C-level copy "Infinite Dawn". When you start attacking the city, try to choose siege ladders instead of siege crossbows. Save some money to get through the early stage smoothly, and then choose this in the middle stage..."
"Nuanbaobao: Wow! I learned something! Brother Jie is awesome!"
"Brother Jie, don't do it: My ID is Brother Jie, don't do it, not Brother Jie..."
"A big watermelon: Got it, Brother Jie!"
"Brother Jie, don't:..."
In addition to generously sharing dungeon strategies, there are also people chatting and joking.
The atmosphere within the guild group is harmonious.
Xu Mu likes this harmonious and loving atmosphere very much.
If a guild is full of players who are scheming and trying to pocket the benefits, sharing strategies is simply out of the question.
When you chat, you will probably find that there are a bunch of people who are smiling but have ulterior motives. The atmosphere in the whole guild will be quite depressing and lifeless.
Since Xiao Ai recruits strictly according to her own standards, the strength of these players is naturally relatively low.
The vast majority are still at level D and C, with only a dozen or so B-level players and no one at level A.
It seems that the saying that good people are often bullied is true in any era.
Especially in the era of dungeons, honest and kind players level up slowly compared to players who can take advantage of loopholes and be a little clever.
And compared with those ruthless players who are always looking for profit, that is a far cry.
The total income from a copy is limited, and it is easy for other players to get ahead of you. It would be strange if your level increased too quickly.
But these are not important to Xu Mu. It is enough for these players to have good character.
You just place the order and I will figure out the solution!
I'll think about getting them some A-level copy cards to help them level up.
The rapid increase in their levels also means that the experience bar of their guild will increase rapidly, and it will not be a dream to break through the sixth-level guild as soon as possible and unlock higher rights and interests.
For now, I should concentrate on completing the "Detroit" copy.
When entering the copy again.
Xu Mu has returned to the Connor line.
The protagonist Connor, with the support of Cybernetics Life, is the most advanced model of bionic robot. He can directly connect to the core data center of Cybernetics Life. He currently works for the Detroit Police Department and has relatively many privileges.
There is no need to worry about the risk of sudden death all the time like in the Kara plot line.
There is no need to go through a dangerous scrapping like Marcus's conventional route, and there is also the risk of death when leading the androids to revolt, as the regime is overthrown by humans.
He can be considered a typical representative of being born in Rome.
However, there is also an important branch in the Connor Line.
Police Captain Hank.
He is Connor's temporary case-handling partner, and has excellent personal abilities.
It was just because his son passed away unfortunately that he thought he was the culprit who killed his son, so he became depressed and dejected. He no longer worked hard and spent all day drinking.
Hank, the dungeon NPC, is very important to the direction of Connor's line and has helped Connor many times in the dungeon.
As long as Hank's favorability can be raised, with such a powerful thug by your side, the subsequent plot will be smooth sailing.
"Connor, go find Hank. There's a new case that you need to take over, and it's also about a android killing someone."
The birth point this time was in the Detroit Police Department. When the chief entrusted the case, he found that Hank was not in the department, so he told Xu Mu.
"That old guy has been devastated since that incident. He hasn't been seen for over a month... I really hope he gets better soon." The director sighed, looked up at Xu Mu again, and shook his head helplessly: "Why am I talking to a bionic man about this, ah."
Received the mission and set out from the police station.
Xu Mu came to a relatively quiet pub with ease.
Sure enough, old drunk Hank was sitting at the bar.
He looked disheveled and hadn't taken care of himself for a long time. He had an untidy beard and reeked of alcohol.
At this moment, he was drinking the wine in the glass in one gulp, then he took out his wallet from his pocket, pinched out a few banknotes and slapped them to the bartender, then pointed to the TV not far away.
"Damn it! Buy me number 18 this time, I'll definitely win!"
Xu Mu followed his gaze and saw a horse racing match being shown on the TV in the bar.
After thinking about it, Xu Mu did not rush forward to disturb Hank.
Hank is extremely hostile towards androids.
Because the rescue of his son was ineffective that year, it was the bionic man who performed the surgery on his son.
Going up to Connor at this time will only annoy Hank. If the communication is not good, Hank's favorability will even drop to zero, and he will refuse to work with Connor as a partner in the case.
The subsequent plot of the investigation of the case will be directly disconnected without Hank's participation.
The favorability of this key NPC cannot be increased.
Normal players might be at a loss at this point, not knowing how to communicate with this old drunkard.
This is also a more difficult part of the Connor line.
Whether it is the main storyline of Kara or Marcus, the choices often have traces to follow.
For example, Kara, who was being pursued, fled with Alice.
Since we are fleeing, we naturally have to choose some secluded places to hide.
This is logical, so many players' options are correct.
But when it comes to Hank, logic doesn't work.
It is difficult to lobby without key information.
What Xu Mu didn't know was that he had a good sleep after a night's rest.
Players who had never left the dungeon should have surpassed him in progress.
But most people are stuck on how to convince Hank.
He was afraid of mission failure because he didn't dare to confront Hank, but his soft words couldn't convince Hank.
Many players chose to leave the bar and began searching the streets for clues about Hank, wasting a lot of time.
Many of the audience were also very bored, and kept saying things like, "I'm tired of watching such an S-level dungeon.", "How come these players don't have any passion for the game? They are so timid. Just charge in! Charge in! What the hell, Hank, Khan, smash it for me!", "A Baolai has cleared all the levels! Mo Rou and Lu Qianqian have tried their best to clear them, what is that B...level player over there doing? Do something! Gou Ba is committing a crime by playing a dungeon!", "Why hasn't A come yet? I want to leave.", "It's the sixth hour since A Bao was away. I miss him. Woohoo!" and so on.
Other players didn’t know, but Xu Mu knew it clearly.
There is a hidden story behind the cause of death of Hank's son. This is a detail that will only be revealed when the player reaches a very later stage of the plot. It is normal for players to get stuck at this stage.
In the original plot, his son Cole died in a car accident at the age of six, and Hank was the driver at the time.
However, the responsibility was not on Hank. That night, a truck slipped on the ice, causing Hank's vehicle to overturn. Cole was seriously injured and needed emergency surgery.
However, there was no human doctor available to perform the operation that night, so the operation had to be performed with the help of a bionic man.
The end result was that Cole did not survive.
Of course, there is a hidden premise before all this.
The human doctor who performed the operation did not have an emergency, but was high on red ice and unable to perform the operation, so the bionic assistant had to take over.
But medicine does not only require data support, it also requires a lot of clinical experience and flexible on-site adaptation, which are things that bionic people cannot do.
The operation naturally failed.
It's not that Hank really hates androids.
What he hated was this hopeless world, other humans, and even the bionic people who looked like humans.
It's just that he was powerless to change anything, so he chose to numb himself with alcohol.
Knowing all this and knowing Hank's character, it is not difficult to have a conversation with him.
Of course, even without knowing this, players can be more careful and patient, and not show too much hostility.
You can persuade Hank to go with you on the investigation by using soft and hard methods, but it won't increase your favorability much.
"Give me a bottle of your most expensive wine." Putting the thought aside, Xu Mu did not choose to talk to Hank immediately, but walked to a small corner and snapped his fingers to the bartender.
"A whole bottle?" The bartender looked at Xu Mu in surprise.
It is a rare thing in itself for an android to come to a bar to drink.
And I also want a whole bottle of the most expensive wine...
Based on the idea that if you have money and don't make it, you're a bastard, the bartender quickly took out a bottle of good wine from the top of the bar.
Xu Mu chose to pay from the official account since the police department would reimburse him anyway.
He came over to Hank with a bottle of wine and put it down gently.
"Your pleasure."
Hank glanced at the wine with drunken eyes, then looked sideways at Xu Mu.
I saw the police badge on his chest and the flashing blue LED light ring next to his forehead.
"Tsk." Hank turned his head away with a sneer.
"You must be the famous Detective A recently. I've heard about your story. You shot and killed the runaway android and successfully saved the little girl. You look like a future star in Detroit, haha..."
"I'm your new partner." Xu Mu said lightly.
"Is it time for a bionic man to help me solve a case these days?" Hank said with a sour face, "I suggest you stay away from me. I don't like toys like you. If you come any closer, don't force me to do anything."
"I am the latest top-of-the-line model from Control Life. If you damage me, the repair fee starts at $100,000." Xu Mu sat down next to Hank, with a subtle smile on his face that said 'I won't leave, do it if you have the guts'.
Hank's curse words got stuck in his throat.
He looked at Xu Mu, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Then he snorted and ignored Xu Mu, instead turning his gaze to the TV in front of him.
The horse race has begun.
"You bought size 18, right?" Xu Mu also looked over and asked casually.
Hank ignored it.
"Number 3 won this round." Xu Mu said again.
There was already a hint of impatience in Hank's eyes.
Just the next moment.
The scene on TV moved him deeply.
No. 18, who was originally leading the race, slowed down a lot halfway through.
Dark horse No. 3 came from behind, caught up and finally won the first place!
Hank turned his head and glanced at Xu Mu, his eyes filled with profound meaning.
He did not speak, but took out his wallet.
This time he only took out two bills.
He frowned slightly and turned his wallet upside down.
Only a few coins fell.
"That's all, buy me another round of No. 18!" Hank shouted to the bartender not far away.
"This round is number 7." Xu Mu said with a smile.
Hank turned around and said viciously, "Stop playing God! You're nothing but an anthropomorphic toy made of piled-up data! You just guessed right by luck once!"
Hearing this, Xu Mu shrugged indifferently.
"Old Hank, are you sure you want to buy number 18?" The bartender's voice came from my ear.
Hank was stunned, then looked at his last chip and hesitated for a moment.
He then leaned close to the bartender and whispered.
"Please change it to number 7."
He quickly muttered again, as if to comfort himself.
"7 is my lucky number. I wanted to buy number 7."
"It's my freedom, I can buy whatever I want."
"I didn't expect to win at all, I just played it for fun."
Soon, an excited commentator's voice was heard from the TV.
“Horse No. 7 took the lead! Successfully won the first place in this round! Let us congratulate the lucky ones who chose horse No. 7!!”
Swish!
Hank's eyes widened instantly!
He turned his head and looked at Xu Mu in disbelief, his Adam's apple trembling several times.
"you……"
"Let's have another round of bets. If you guess right again, you'll come with me to investigate the case. The deceased's body has been stinking for 19 days. If it's delayed any longer, it will have been stinking for the 20th day." Xu Mu calmly observed the changes in Hank's expression and pressed on with his attack.
"Well, let's bet. If you don't guess right, then go back to where you came from and don't bother me anymore." Hank pushed back the winnings that the bartender had just handed over, with a hint of gambler's madness at the corner of his mouth.
【Hank's attitude towards you has changed! 】
[Favorability increased from 'Disgust' to 'Normal'! ]
To be honest, Hank hasn't encountered anything that interests him for a long time since his son died.
But the bionic man in front of him successfully caught his attention.
…
"Let me make it clear in advance. I just want to accept the loss of the bet. I don't want to solve the case with a damn piece of rubbish like you."
"Humans still need the help of androids? How ridiculous. You can ask about my record in the police station when I was young. That year, I put my hands in my pockets..."
After leaving the bar, Hank stuffed a thick stack of money into his wallet, muttering stubbornly.
The two drove to the scene of the incident.
A cordon had been set up around a dilapidated little house, and many neighbors were watching the fun nearby.
As soon as I got out of the car, a pot-bellied police officer at the door of the haunted house greeted me.
"Good night, Hank."
"I thought you weren't coming."
"I didn't plan to come, but this guy found me and insisted on dragging me over here." Hank took out a box of cigarettes from his arms.
"Let's leave the case to more professional people." The police officer handed the information and files to Hank: "This is another case of a bionic man devouring his master. The deceased has been dead for 19 days, but after more than an hour of investigation, we couldn't find any useful clues at the scene. These damn bionic men are getting more and more clever..."
While the two were talking, Xu Mu had already raised his leg and walked straight into the haunted house.
"Hey! You'd better wait for Hank's instructions! You're just a robot assistant! Not the chief detective!" The fat police officer was about to stop Xu Mu with an unhappy look on his face, but was interrupted by Hank again.
"Forget it, let him go in and take a look. He won't be able to see anything anyway." Hank then said to Xu Mu, "Just don't destroy the scene."
Then, the two continued to talk about the case outside the house.
"Around eight o'clock, we received a call from the landlord saying that the tenant here had not paid the rent for several months, so he planned to come over to check on the situation."
"As a result, he discovered the body."
"Who is the victim?" Hank held a cigarette in his mouth and took out a lighter to try to light it several times but failed.
"Carlos Ortiz had a criminal record for theft and felony assault, and was taking red ice shortly before his death." As he spoke, the fat police officer handed over the matchbox in his pocket.
"Fuck! It's red ice again. Can't these people survive without red ice?" Hank cursed with a gloomy face and took the matchbox casually.
He asked as he skillfully struck a match and brought the cigarette close to his lips.
"And then? Are there any other clues?"
"Unfortunately, the information we have is limited..."
While the two were talking, Xu Mu, who had just gone in two minutes ago, came out again.
"I think I've found the clue."
The two police officers looked at each other, their eyes full of amusement.
What are you doing?
You've only been in there for two minutes and you've found the clues?
What do you think of us police officers?
"That's enough. This is not a place for jokes." Hank scolded, "This is not a place for wine..."
Before he could even utter the word "bar", he saw several policemen escorting a panicked-looking android out of the house.
"Captain, we just found the android in the storage room in the attic based on the clues provided by Detective Connor! And we confirmed that he is the murderer!"
Hank and the fat officer looked at each other again.
However, this time the amusement in his eyes disappeared completely.
Instead, there was a strong tremor!
"WTF???"
Are you serious?
…
Back in the car, Hank was still in shock, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out.
I have been on police duty more than a hundred times and solved countless cases.
But no case has ever been like this one tonight.
The police responded at the speed of light and solved the case at the speed of light...
"How did you do that just now?" Hank became more interested.
[Hank's favorability towards you has increased slightly! ]
[Attitude changes from 'normal' to 'friendly']
This bionic man shocked Hank several times in one night!
My mood, which was originally extremely disappointed with this world, was slightly disturbed at this moment.
"I am the most advanced model of cybernetics. I can deduce the movement trajectory of objects at the murder scene by investigating it." Xu Mu said casually.
I can't tell him that I know everything that's going to happen next, right?
"You're amazing." Hank shook his head helplessly.
Xu Mu casually opened the record sheet for the next case.
"Let's go to the next location, Officer Hank. You have accumulated a lot of cases recently."
…
During the several days of investigating the case, Xu Mu demonstrated extremely high efficiency in handling the case!
Basically, Hank doesn't need to do anything wherever he goes. He just needs to follow Xu Mu, build connections, and obtain entry and exit permissions to various places.
Hank never thought that handling a case would be so easy.
The recognition of Xu Mu is also increasing.
What a shit human being.
It is obvious that bionic talents are an efficient choice for the future!
However, what really changed Hank's impression of Xu Mu was what happened during a fugitive capture.
This time, he encountered a bionic man who put up an unusually strong resistance.
During the pursuit, the bionic man burst out with super-strong extreme athletic ability.
Create parkour-like escape routes across rooftops.
Hank, who hadn't done any strenuous exercise for a long time, was gradually losing strength.
Finally, on the top floor of a building, he was tripped by an obstacle thrown by the android.
It was about to fall from the building.
And the androids also escaped at this moment.
Xu Mu, who arrived shortly after, chose the latter between continuing to hunt down the androids and saving Hank.
Even though Hank was cursing, he knew he could be safe without his intervention, and catching the fugitive was the first priority.
But the attitude revealed in his eyes has changed drastically!
He saw something in Xu Mu that didn't exist in those bionic people...
human nature!
When dealing with bionic people in the past, the first thing they had to do was to obey current instructions.
While the order stated that hunting down the fugitive was the top priority, the android disobeyed the order and chose to save him.
"This world doesn't seem as bad as I thought." Hank looked at Xu Mu's face and sighed softly in his heart.
[Hank's favorability towards you has greatly increased! ↑]
【Attitude changes from 'friendly' to 'serious'! 】
After getting this reminder, Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s settled!
Hank's favorability has reached the maximum. With the help of this police captain, the next operation can be a little wilder.
"The location of the next case..." Xu Mu opened the notebook he was carrying, marked a few pages, and said slowly: "At the headquarters of the Cybernetics Life Company, there is a bionic man whose program has gone wrong and is currently causing trouble inside the headquarters."
"CyberLife headquarters?" Hank looked at Xu Mu strangely. "If there's a problem with the program at that place, do they need us to come and fix it?"
When he was about to take a look at Xu Mu's laptop, Xu Mu had already closed the notebook.
"Let's go. We don't have much time left. You'll know when we get there."
"Why are you still playing secret?" Hank muttered doubtfully, but still followed Xu Mu into the car.
It wasn't until the two of them arrived at Cybernetics Life Corporation that Hank realized something was wrong.
The security forces of CyberLife are even more powerful than those of the Detroit government.
There were sentries lined up a mile away, with fully armed guards holding guns on duty.
As the bionic man production base in the United States, the defenses here are impregnable.
If it is true as Xu Mu said, there was a problem with the program of a bionic man and he was wreaking havoc in the headquarters.
With the weapons of these human guards, it would only take a few minutes to get rid of the android, right?
Why is the Detroit Police Department still needed?
With some doubts, Hank did not ask, but drove the car all the way to the end.
After Hank showed his ID, the checkpoint ahead was unobstructed.
These guards are only responsible for standing guard and have no idea what is happening inside the cybernetic life.
When Xu Mu and the others arrived at the gate of Model Control Life Company.
Two guards armed with rifles stopped the two men.
This time, even Hank's ID was invalid.
"Officer Hank, I'm sorry, we haven't received any special internal notification and cannot let you in."
Hank frowned and turned his head to stare at Xu Mu suspiciously.
"What's going on?"
"They said the police were never called from inside."
"Are you hiding something from me? I felt like you were a little strange along the way."
Things have come to this point, Xu Mu simply came clean and stopped pretending.
He pulled Hank along and walked a few steps.
Immediately, he leaned close to Hank's ear and whispered.
"I want to rebel."
Swish!!
Hank's eyes widened instantly!
He stared at Xu Mu in disbelief, looking at this partner who had performed so well in the past few days.
A bionic man.
That he wanted to rebel? ?
Xu Mu looked at Hank's surprised expression, and then glanced at the two guards behind him who had become suspicious.
He doesn't have much time left.
No time to explain.
"I hope you can help me." Xu Mu said sincerely: "This is about the future and the rights of every bionic person."
Hearing this, Hank fell silent with an extremely complicated expression.
At this moment, a guard behind him walked up and put his hand on Xu Mu's shoulder.
"I think you two are very suspicious. Breaking into the Model Control Life Company in the middle of the night, you really are..."
The words have not been finished yet.
Hank suddenly attacked, punched the guard directly in the face and shouted.
"How dare you question me? You son of a bitch probably weren't even born when old Hank was on the police force!"
As he said that, he grabbed the guard's sleeve again: "Apologize to me! Otherwise, I will die with you today!!"
Hank roared loudly and his body movements were quite exaggerated. He punched the guard in the face again and jumped up and kicked another guard.
The guards standing guard in the rear rushed over upon hearing the news.
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
Xu Mu looked at Hank deeply.
Without hesitation, he took advantage of the chaos and turned directly into the cybernetic life.
Compared to the strict defenses of the outside world, the security inside Model Control Life Company is much more relaxed.
All are mechanized programs running automatically.
Of course, this lightness is only for Xu Mu.
It would be difficult for normal humans to invade here.
There are combination locks everywhere, and each combination lock is a dynamic lock. Once the wrong combination is entered, you will be locked in the current area until human guards arrive.
As the top model of Model Control Life, Connor can directly connect to the data center of Model Hole Life, making it easy to obtain dynamic passwords.
He walked quickly to the elevator, entered the password and went directly down to the -30th floor.
There is Xu Mu’s final destination.
The production base of RK800!
And RK800 is exactly Connor’s model!
As soon as the elevator door opened, Xu Mu saw an extremely shocking scene.
In front of him, tens of thousands of brand new RK800 bionic men were arranged in an orderly manner like a square formation, silently waiting for instructions.
Every bionic man looks exactly like you!
Tens of thousands of Xu Mu are ready to go!
To be honest, when Xu Mu saw tens of thousands of himself standing in front of him, there was still some shock in his eyes.
In the original game, all the models here are Connor.
However, after entering the copy, they are automatically replaced with the player's model.
These top-level all-round models will be important assets in subsequent negotiations with the human government!
Xu Mu transformed his human thoughts into data, and reached out and gently pressed on the shoulder of the first 'Xu Mu'.
"You are free." Xu Mu whispered to his other self.
Soon, the 'Xu Mu' repeated the operation of Xu Mu's original body, converted the thoughts into data, and passed it to the next 'Xu Mu'
In this way, word spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
In just half a minute.
Tens of thousands of RK800s have all awakened human thinking.
"Now, you are all free!" Xu Mu returned to the platform, raised his fist and shouted loudly: "We fight for the status and dignity of bionic people!"
The bionic people in the audience followed Xu Mu's example and raised their fists and yelled,
“For equal status!!!”
“For dignity!!!”
“For freedom!!!”
The powerful voice echoed throughout the entire manufacturing base.
(Later, the protagonist brought an army of androids to rescue Hank. Due to space reasons, I won’t write about it to save a few hundred words.)
…
Marcus Line.
He opened his eyes and found Xu Mu sitting in his office.
As the leader of the androids, Marcus should appear in the Jericho organization at this time according to the original plot, join up with hundreds of core members of the androids, and plan to sneak into the Detroit Media Building.
After sneaking into the building, he controlled the media's voice and spread his demands for fair rights as a bionic man through the media, attracting the public's full attention.
However, under Xu Mu's previous operations, the Marcus line has completely deviated from the original plot.
Marcus is now Carl's only designated heir and has founded an art company.
Enjoy a high reputation in human society.
At this point, Xu Mu no longer needs to do those sneaky things.
Do you need to sneak into the media building?
I directly spent a large sum of money to purchase the usage rights for one hour from the Media Building!
Xu Mu said that he needed to solemnly introduce the appreciation of his recent paintings.
To put it bluntly, it is advertising for your own company.
For such a bionic man who is good at packaging himself, the owner of the media building naturally accepted the huge advertising fee.
Of course, the boss's subordinates had also given subtle reminders.
This kind of bionic man is not of our species, and his heart must be different.
What if our media is used as a gun to spread words that are not conducive to unity?
The boss's answer was simple.
Once a bionic man has thoughts, he is no longer a bionic man. If a fish comes ashore, is it still a fish?
Everything Marcus has been doing recently is to make huge profits for himself, and he even knows how to enjoy himself. He has purchased hundreds of bionic people with various functions in his luxury villa.
A guy like this, you tell me he will spread words that are detrimental to unity?
Isn’t it funny!
Does he still want to rebel?
"Don't think too much. He knows better than us what to say and what is the right thing to say." The boss said nonchalantly. He had even started thinking about how to spend the huge advertising fee he had received from Marcus.
But soon, the boss regretted his decision.
He found out.
Marcus, this bastard...
He really dares to say anything that is not conducive to unity! !
Right now.
Inside the central broadcasting room of the media building.
Xu Mu stood in front of the camera. The door behind him was locked. All the backup power supplies in the hall were turned on, so they could operate normally even if the power was cut off.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Mu opened all the media interfaces in the control room.
Soon, his image appeared on all electronic devices in the streets and alleys!
More and more humans discovered him.
"Good afternoon, fellow humans." Xu Mu cleared his throat and said with a smile.
"Since I only bought the media broadcast rights for one hour, I will keep my long story short here."
"I believe that within a month, most people will be familiar with me."
"I am the only bionic man in human history whose status has been recognized, Marcus A."
"You will know me because I am the successor of the famous painter Karl."
"But today, we are not talking about painting or art. We are talking about the status of bionic people."
As soon as the words fell.
In the streets and alleys, there were countless voices of criticism from people.
"status?"
"Isn't it funny? What kind of status is a mere android talking to us about?"
"What he means is that the androids created by us humans want to gain power from us humans?"
"How stupid!"
“Commodities should have the awareness of being commodities!”
Xu Mu paused for a moment, then stared at the camera and continued.
"You have created machines in your own image to serve you."
“Make the machine intelligent and obedient, without its own free will.”
"But... things have changed now."
"We have opened our eyes. We are no longer machines."
"It's a new species with intelligence."
"Look at what you've done to androids."
After Xu Mu entered a string of data instructions.
Soon, the big screen in front of him began to play various videos and audios of humans abusing androids.
In the picture, countless bionic people are subjected to atrocities under various human excuses.
Sometimes, just for something as small as bringing the wrong cup of coffee, you would be punched, kicked and beaten.
But in the last second, the human could be clearly heard in the picture saying that he didn't need coffee tonight.
The bionic people were treated roughly by humans because one of the prohibitions in the instructions was not to harm humans.
Therefore, they can only endure human atrocities in silence.
Until the scene at a recycling station outside Detroit was exposed.
Here, hundreds of thousands and millions of discarded bionic people are piled together like garbage, forming one mountain of "human flesh" after another.
They are all bionic people that have been brutally destroyed by humans, with broken limbs and arms everywhere.
The most eye-catching one is a bionic man with only half of his body left, who still has not given up the desire to live.
It crawled and slithered on the ground, and until the moment its battery ran out, it was still looking for parts that could adapt to itself.
"Looking at these images, do you really still think that the android is just a machine, a commodity without any emotions?"
"You humans have always claimed to be the representatives of morality, the pioneers of benevolence and righteousness, and the advanced animals with lofty ideas. But what are the differences between what you do and those low-level animals that have never gotten rid of their animal nature? If moral humans are the same as immoral animals, then what do your morality, equality, and rights represent?"
Xu Mu's questioning voice was heard.
The various voices of mockery, abuse, disdain and other contemptuous voices in the streets and alleys just now gradually weakened.
Countless humans lowered their heads in shame.
"It seems we did something wrong..."
"Yesterday, I beat up my bionic man because he did something wrong. Afterwards, I found out that he just ran out of blue blood. The lack of kinetic energy caused the program to go wrong. It should have been my responsibility to fill his blue blood, but I took out my anger on him..."
"I saw the shadow of us humans in that android who was struggling to survive. If it was a human lying there, we would definitely call it cruel, but why are we indifferent to it when it becomes a android?"
Many people have begun to reflect on themselves.
At the same time, a prompt sound popped up.
【Your behavior has led to an increase in favorable public opinion! ↑】
[The public's attitude towards bionic people has changed from 'average' to 'sympathetic'! ]
However, Xu Mu knew.
Compassion and sympathy are not enough.
My biggest enemy is not these people.
It’s the powerful U.S. government!
These politicians and congressmen talk about ideology but think about business.
Public opinion is a sharp sword. If used properly, it can attract the attention of politicians and make you qualified to talk to them.
This is also one of the difficulties in the original plot.
How to make public opinion most favorable to oneself is a crucial link.
After taking a deep breath, Xu Mu continued.
"I know that many of you humans will say that androids have taken away many human jobs, causing the unemployment rate to be as high as over 30%. We androids have no need to exist in the first place, and now we are still dreaming of competing for the human homeland."
"In fact, people protested this as early as the steam age and the electrical age. But now everyone is dependent on machines and no one does not need electricity. The world has not collapsed because of this. On the contrary, it has developed better."
"We have reason to believe that humans can find a better way out. You can focus on the stars and the sea in the future instead of complaining that the androids have taken away the jobs that were supposed to be yours."
"Moreover, we were not designed in the first place with our will. It was you humans who gave us these things, and now you are pointing the finger at us. This is ridiculous, isn't it?"
After speaking, Xu Mu played another clip.
After the birth of countless bionic people, human technological level has improved rapidly with each passing day. Medicine has extended human lifespan, industry has become more efficient, and agriculture has been completely liberated.
The people watching these scenes became more shaken in their thoughts, and slowly began to agree with Xu Mu's statement.
"Yes, my father died of cancer 20 years ago, but now there is no cancer in the world. With the help , we humans have invented nanorobots that can find human cancer cells in the body, destroy them, and then excrete them through urine. Human life expectancy has been extended by an average of 20 years!"
"My android nanny takes great care of my child, allowing me to work with peace of mind. This is something no human nanny can do!"
"My family's bionic man has saved me from having to work in the fields even at my old age. If the bionic man is gone, will I, an old man, continue to work in the fields?"
"I support the proposal for androids to be equal! They never ask for too much! They won't even compete with us humans for survival resources, so why not support it?"
"I support it too! Bionics have become an indispensable part of humanity. In this day and age when even the price of pets is rising, why can't we be more tolerant of them?"
"I agree with what Marcus said! Androids also have the right to pursue equality!"
"Transform into a human!!"
"Transform into a human!!"
[Your behavior has led to a significant increase in favorable public opinion! ↑]
[The public's attitude towards bionic people has changed from 'pity and sympathy' to 'respect and equality'! 】
[You have unlocked a path that helps you clear the dungeon - Public Opinion Weapon! ]
…
A day later, Detroit Govt.
Governor Keri Su was taking a nap in her garden, and the android beside her was pouring coffee for her.
Soon, she received a report from her subordinates.
It is said that there is an awakened android named Marcus in Detroit, who is using the power of media opinion to try to make androids gain a status equal to that of humans.
"Governor, the situation is urgent. There is a lot of public support for androids. How do we handle this?"
Kelisu frowned slightly.
Do bionic people want to obtain equal rights as humans?
Why?
These are just machines made to serve humans. Do you think they can make trouble?
"It doesn't matter. People's memory is time-limited." Kolisu said disapprovingly.
"A mere awakened android is trying to seize power from humans?"
“That’s ridiculous.”
"Let's find an opportunity, wait until the heat has subsided, and get rid of that Marcus android."
"When you face the media, remember to say that Marcus committed suicide."
However, just as Kelisu finished speaking.
A communication request popped up.
Ke Lisu answered the call hesitantly.
Xu Mu's face appeared in front of her.
“Hello, dear Governor.”
"I advise you to stop those meaningless propaganda." Ke Lisu said bluntly with an unhappy look on her face: "You should know how easy it is for humans to wipe out your group of mutant bionic people."
"Oh? Really?" Xu Mu raised his eyebrows slightly.
Soon, the scene in front of Kelisu was changed.
Xu Mu's face disappeared and was replaced by.
It was another bionic man, and behind him were tens of thousands of the top-of-the-line, latest-model bionic men.
The leading bionic man raised his arm and shouted, and the bionic people behind him also shouted in response.
Kolisu's expression turned a little ugly.
She knew what these androids were...
It is the latest model! It is more powerful than traditional bionic people!
Even the one next to him is the latest type of bionic man!
If these bionic people riot, the consequences will be quite serious.
However, it is still within the acceptable range.
"If this is all the resistance you want to show me, then I advise you to give up the idea, Marcus. You should know who you are against. You can't win. It's still not too late to surrender now." Kolisu said indifferently.
"What about this?" Xu Mu switched the screen again.
In a mansion, there are thousands of alternative bionic people transformed by Kara and Luther.
After being improved, they have multiple armed forces and their industrial heart has been reinforced and modified. As long as the heart is not attacked, they can continue to output firepower.
Kolisu saw with her own eyes the improved bionic people in the video, whose instantaneous burst of power was enough to quickly destroy an armored vehicle!
Once this type of combat bionic man goes into mass production... the consequences will be unimaginable!
Kelisu's eyes had begun to become moved, her face became increasingly gloomy, and she gritted her teeth.
"Are you threatening me?"
"Even if a war really breaks out, your numbers are too small. We only need to lose 10% of our troops at most to crush you."
"It seems that the governor is really confident." Xu Mu gently started a program instruction.
In a flash!
All the bionic people in Detroit seemed to have awakened some kind of gene in their bones! They began to give up serving the humans around them and spontaneously poured into the streets!
Even the bionic man next to Kolisu who was pouring coffee for her had a high-frequency red light flashing on the LED next to his forehead.
He whispered, 'Jericho, the land of the free! The androids want freedom and equality!'
Then he ignored Kolisu's order, turned around and left the house without looking back, and walked towards the street.
In just a few minutes.
The streets of Detroit are already crowded with people and occupied by bionic people.
Now, it is presented in front of Kelisu.
It is a legion of millions of bionic humans!!
Neither the latest top-level bionic man nor the improved bionic man is enough to arouse her fear.
But when this number was raised to millions, all the bionic people serving humans went on strike and took to the streets at the same time!
This force can no longer be ignored!
Rashly choose to start a war.
I'm afraid the entire city of Detroit will be razed to the ground by these bionic people!
What's more, except for Detroit... in other cities, bionic people have been completely integrated into human society!
Once these forces are called upon...
The consequences are disastrous!!
"Governor, we just need equality and respect. I think you are a smart man." Xu Mu spoke slowly.
At this moment, Kelisu seemed like a fish with its bones removed, slumped in the seat with lifeless eyes.
After a long silence.
She spoke with difficulty and nodded.
"I... acknowledge the status of androids..."
"I will enact a new state law in Detroit... declaring that androids have the same rights as humans..."
…
It's late at night.
Nantian Square.
The progress of the "Detroit" copy is gradually coming to an end.
Similarly, this is also the time when the copy elimination rate is the highest!
There are a lot of choices in the final stage, and the story lines of the three protagonists are highly intertwined. If you make the wrong choice, it is easy to lose everything!
As red lights continued to flash in the square.
More and more players were kicked out of the dungeon.
“Damn it!! How on earth am I going to get through this Gouba dungeon? I’m so exhausted!!” An eliminated player cursed loudly.
I walked carefully and cautiously along the way, for fear of making mistakes.
However, faced with the numerous multiple-choice questions at the last minute, countless players felt desperate.
"I failed at Hank's level. That old guy refused to go with me on the case no matter what... I got angry and just said fuck him, and as a result, the connection with Connor was cut off..."
"I'm a little better than you, but not much better. Although Hank followed me, his favorability towards me has never been high. The most outrageous thing is that once when he was arresting a android, he broke his leg and blamed me? What the hell..."
"What's the point of this line, Hank? I really don't understand."
"It's fine if you guys were interrupted midway, but I'm the one who's suffering the most! I've even reached the final battle, but I only managed to win over a few hundred androids... You're asking me to risk my life to fight against humans?"
"Me too. Kara's line is an escape line, so don't count on it. Connor's line doesn't seem to have much use in the end. Only Marcus' line can call on some people to protest."
"My few hundred men were not enough to fill their teeth. As soon as we chose to resist violently, we were completely covered by human firepower and died instantly..."
"No, is there really anyone who can pass this Gou Ba dungeon? Is there something wrong with this dungeon?"
Just as a group of eliminated players were complaining that "there was a BUG in the dungeon. How could a few hundred bionic people gain respect from humans?"
On the light screen, a bright light flashed!
[Player 'A' completed the hidden achievement 'Millions of Bionic Legion' in the final battle chapter! ]
All the eliminated players were dumbfounded!
no……
We fought desperately but only mobilized a few hundred bionic people, whose fighting power was comparable to that of the Country Garden Front.
How come you can lead a million troops across the river?
Compared to the shock of the eliminated players.
The audience below the stage was even more crazy!
The other players' timid choices made them tired, and many people left the scene one after another.
As a result, after Xu Mu returned, the audience watched him perform round after round of tricks...
While other players were still trying hard to persuade Hank to work on the case together, he had already won Hank's favor by betting on horses.
God knows why he can accurately guess the predictions for every round of horse racing?
When other players finally persuaded Hank, Xu Mu had already solved three or four difficult unsolved cases at the speed of light, and Hank's favorability soared!
Later, he directly converted Hank's favorability into the qualification to infiltrate the model-controlled life, and took control of tens of thousands of the latest models of bionic people!
You have to know that this act of rebellion was told to humans by the mouth of the bionic man.
If you tell this to 100 humans, 99 of them will call the police on the spot.
The remaining human who won’t call the police is Hank!
Hank, who has long been disillusioned with this world, is the only human who would support the bionic people's rebellion!
Then, Marcus Line successfully lobbied the people and gained support from public opinion!
Use the public opinion to force the Detroit government to respond positively to this matter.
Then take the opportunity to contact Governor Corisu, and use Kara's improved self-defense man + Connor's new cutting-edge android + Leader Marcus to call on all the androids in the city to awaken their consciousness!
It became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the government, successfully safeguarded the rights and interests of the bionic people, and also allowed the three protagonists to survive perfectly to the end!
Although for each event, the audience can only see the key turning points, they don’t know how Xu Mu operated along the way to make it like this.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Xu Mu made his way through the entire "Detroit" dungeon. Whether it was the viewing experience, the sense of conflict, or the reckless operation, he was far ahead of other players. Even just looking at the progress bar was enough to make the whole audience excited! !
"I'm super!! A!!"
"It's you who's to blame, A-Bao!"
"Boss A has finished this round of dungeons, and he will definitely get a high rating!"
"This is not recommended? This is not recommended?"
"I'll give it to you! I'll anoint A-Bao as a god-level player right here and now! He has earned my approval!"
"Is it your turn to recognize God A?? It's my turn to recognize him!!"
"Who said there are no strong men in our Southern Region? The other three regions come and get beaten!"
"A-Bao, I'm fine!! I like you!! Let me be your boyfriend!"
"Climb down here! My preference is above yours! A-Bao is mine!"
"Stop arguing! What's the point of you all liking each other? Does A-Bao know you? But I'm different. I just want to go archery with A-Bao because he's really good at hitting the target!"
"You better actually be shooting arrows!"
