Chapter 1 Cyberpunk Escape(1/2)

"Level 2 neural network engineer Xu Yang, this month's income is 7,500, and he owes 4,606,300. After deducting 7,500 for repayment, the remaining arrears are 4,598,800, and his actual income this month is 0."

Xu Yang numbly pulled out the cash card, and the screen content switched to the slogan "Your services make Gaoge Kyushu more prosperous" and a round smiling face.

Kaoge Kyushu is one of the giant companies in the Eastern Hemisphere. It has gained advantages in all corporate civil wars. It has complete departments, sufficient manpower, and is thriving. It focuses on vehicle development, industrial production, and security services.

Xu Yang is a "company person", which is a term used to refer to those who stay in the company from birth to death.

His parents, who were also businessmen, were too busy to take care of him, and they died very young, at the age of 35.

According to the company, they have fulfilled their consumption obligations and labor obligations and are model employees of the company.

Xu Yang's growth, food, accommodation, study, medical expenses and other expenses were all provided by the company. By the time he graduated, this expense would be about 500,000, and he would need to work hard to pay it back.

In order to enhance his work efficiency and avoid being eliminated by machines, he borrowed more than 4 million from the company and installed himself with human enhancement implants.

As a result, the loan could not be repaid even more.

Other company employees are in a similar situation to him. The more they work, the more they owe the company, and they have to work hard to repay the loan.

There is a way to reduce loans, and that is to have children.

Every time a child is born, the company's debt will be reduced by 25%. This is the only reason why company employees have not become extinct. Even if they know that their offspring will become company employees, they admit it.

Xu Yang returned to his work station and opened the lunch box in front of him. There was a strip of nutritional paste inside. It looked like white mud and tasted bland, but he liked it very much. It was efficient and trouble-free.

Because he has no real income, he eats from the company, uses the company's money, sleeps at the company, and receives consumer coupons from the company every month in exchange for a bunch of things he can't use to help the company complete its consumption quota.

"Your report will come out soon."

"The Eastern District collected 30 witch babies from 28 families, 2 defective ones, 18 with industrial potential, 6 with combat potential, and 4 with unknown potential."

"This month's performance is enough."

Xu Yang originally wanted to squint and take a break, but the chatter of other company people in the distant workstation disturbed him, so he might as well continue working.

He pulled out the data cable from his right wrist and inserted it into the wiring slot.

Xu Yang's mind has integrated a technology called "Digital Mind".

Digital mind is a modern cutting-edge technology, which converts biological nerve currents into electrical signals. In Xu Yang's mind, the digital mind panel took shape, and the security system of the entire company building was visible at a glance, including every camera, alarm device, and automatic defense equipment.

, machine security and laser traps are all connected to him.

His job title is Level 2 Neural Network Engineer, and he works in the network security department of the company branch. His daily tasks include supervising employee actions and maintaining network security.

As a trained neural network engineer, Xu Yang can use his digital mind to connect to common networks. Most modern electrical equipment is added to the same network for unified management.

Although the digital mind is a new design, it is very adaptable to him. After the transformation, his technical skills have greatly increased, and his status in the company has also increased significantly. He has high authority and can supervise the daily activities of thousands of employees in the building.

You also have to check the company's built-in defense systems for hidden vulnerabilities. This is an extremely tedious task, with thousands of devices to maintain, guarding against hostile hackers, and warning those in the company who are sneaky.

Because he is technically proficient, the work of the department is concentrated on him, making him full of work every day.

Xu Yang supervises and controls the equipment through his own consciousness without using his hands. In his consciousness, these equipment can be directly inspected, controlled and modified. With the help of implants, his brain is almost like an advanced computer.

Today is different.

The first camera Xu Yang encountered had already been checked.

He quickly inspected the entire company's equipment and was surprised to find that they had all been maintained. He hurriedly searched the logs and found that an AI called "Tiangong" had done Xu Yang's work for him.

How can it be?

Xu Yang's heart was beating wildly.

His performance is day by day. These equipments have been maintained today. It does not mean that Xu Yang can rest. It just means that he has missed a day of work.

There will be fines for insufficient performance!

He quickly opened the terminal at hand and contacted department manager Huang Na.

"Sister Huang, why don't I have to work today, haha." Xu Yang sent the message hypocritically, feeling uneasy.

"Well, the technical department has developed a new model, codenamed 'Tiangong'. It has many functions. It went online after a stress test. From now on, he will be our new colleague."

"It seems to have finished my part, what about me?"

"You're not in luck, relax."

Xu Yang almost cursed. He clenched his fists and then unclenched them. He subconsciously wanted to connect to the company's network to continue checking, but the "Tiangong" AI had obtained higher authority, completely overriding Xu Yang's status and supervising for him.

and control the entire building.

"Do I have any other work to do?" Xu Yang hesitated and added another message, "Please assign me some work."

If people don't work, they will die.

"I'm sorry, everyone has done their work today, and I don't have any work for you. The department will make personnel adjustments soon, so please pay attention."

It is not stated explicitly out of politeness, but the subtext is that Xu Yang has been completely replaced by a set of AI, and it is best to find another way out.

Xu Yang slumped back, he was optimized.

It is a general trend for artificial intelligence to replace human jobs, and the speed at which people become stronger cannot keep up with technology.

The company has performance requirements every day. Xu Yang's job is now replaced by AI, which means there is no work output every day. Not only will he not get paid, he will also be fined, which is even equivalent to a crime.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The most frightening thing is that Xu Yang borrowed money to install a digital mind for himself. Now he has no work to do. If he still fails to repay the loan, the company will directly sell him

The digital mind was dismantled and recycled, and with the brain and digital mind highly overlapping, Xu Yang's life would be in danger once it was dismantled!

The death of Xu Yang will have no impact on the company.

Xu Yang's only way to survive is to take the initiative to resign, then find a job outside to repay the loan and fill the hole in the loan.

If he voluntarily resigns, the company will not have to pay him a penny in compensation and will let him fend for himself and become his creditor. Xu Yang must work hard outside to find work and continue to repay the company's loan until he dies of exhaustion.

This is the fate of company people. They are raised by the company and dedicate everything to the company until their individual destruction. All this is confirmed by the contract when they are born. Their parents gave birth to them to reduce their own pressure and did not consider them.

fate.

Xu Yang only felt chilled.

He has worked hard since joining the company and imagined that he could spend decades peacefully at his workplace, but it all seemed like a joke.

His personal efforts are worthless. He received training in the company to obtain skills files, and took out a loan to install a digital mind. They are all inferior to the newly developed artificial intelligence. Its efficiency in checking network security systems is more than 10 times that of Xu Yang.

He was replaced without warning and then lost his job.

If you sell your physical strength, can you earn 5,000 a month? How many years will it take to pay off the 4.5 million? Try your best to pay off the debt... After paying it off——

He felt trapped at his workstation.

Xu Yang picked up a cigarette and smoked it desperately. Every time his nerves were stretched to the extreme, he had to do this to numb himself.

Just living an ignoble existence.

The terminal flashed slightly. Xu Yang looked sideways and found a new message from Huang Na.

"AI is currently under maintenance for one hour. You can see what you can do." At the end of the message, there was a cheering emoticon.

"Well, if I resign now, which process will apply?" Xu Yang asked tentatively.

"Your digital mind is fake because of debts... If you leave your job, go to the prosthetic department to have it removed..."

Xu Yang felt a chill in his heart.

Feeling exhausted, he opened the company system and saw that the "Tiangong" AI working for him was temporarily offline.

What can it do when it is offline? Now it gets paid for people, and it is AI's turn to handle everything. Xu Yang is getting more and more frustrated. Resigning voluntarily is equivalent to death. If Xu Yang's digital mind is removed, he is likely to be paralyzed.

, or he has a serious illness and cannot afford the follow-up surgery. For him, he is already facing a desperate situation.

Wait a moment...

Xu Yang took a deep breath and felt evil.

escape!

Escape with your digital mind!

The shopping vouchers that the company has given Xu Yang in exchange for over the years are piled up in the dormitory. If you sell them all, you can get about 150,000, which is enough to buy the earliest ticket and hide it in a small place.

This is the only chance to escape the company now!

Surveillance is everywhere in the company. It was originally controlled by Xu Yang, but is now managed by "Tiangong" AI. However, the AI ​​went offline for an hour, and now they are back under Xu Yang's control.

When "Tiangong" resumes operation, no matter what it does, it will be recorded. At that time, there is no way to escape, only a dead end!

Now when I run, I can take something out to exchange for money, and I can retain my digital mind and move around with a healthy body.

I won’t repay this debt!

Xu Yang felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart when he thought of his parents dying of exhaustion at their workplace.

How is it possible for me to work for such a black-hearted enterprise?

Staying here for one more second is self-destruction.

Even if doing so will put you on the company's blacklist.

Xu Yang is a company employee. He signed a life-long service contract for Gaoge Jiuzhou when he was still in his mother's womb. If he escapes, he will undoubtedly be hunted down.

No matter where he goes, he will become a wanted person, and the security department will try their best to catch him.
To be continued...
