Chapter 813 Opening the door to the free world (Fuck, I forgot to post it)

"You are very courageous, Elliot, and I think highly of you."

Faced with this question, Severns took a deep look at Eliot, stood up and patted him on the shoulder.

Elliot felt a little baffled. How could he suddenly become such a Riddler?

"There are indeed some. I know some small-scale self-employed security guards. You can find them through this number -

Let me emphasize again, I am very optimistic about you, but you must not let it go. "

【Data transmission in progress】

"200,000 yuan can buy my life!"

Elliot looked at the numbers on the account and his hands were shaking with excitement!

He was already distracted from the rest of the conversation, he only remembered the 200,000.

[Johnny: Your life is worth two thousand dollars, have you forgotten? 】

“Not anymore”

200,000 can buy a lot of things: the genuine price of the International Electric Company prosthetic system that Elliot is currently using is 2,500 euros, plus the total price of memory expansion, external CPU, external storage and miscellaneous respiratory protection prostheses necessary for industrial work. Just over forty thousand.

For this, he still has to repay the loan in installments, which is 87,000 euros after interest, and he has to spend at least 7,000 euros every year for maintenance. If there is a major problem, he may have to return it to the factory for repair or replacement, which will cost even more. Much more.

A more serious problem is that in recent years, prosthetic systems and production technology have been updated faster and faster. Although copyright law states that they can use the prosthetic body for 30 years after buying it, if the production standards of factories and companies change again during these 30 years, , and you have to spend money to match the production line, otherwise you will just pack up and leave.

In short, this is just about work, and the expenses in life are also not small: monthly rent, food, drink, clothing, electricity and Internet fees.

But 200,000 is enough for him to cover these expenses. He can live for nearly 20 years by doing nothing in his room and just watching Mewtwo every day.

In just a short time, 200,000 yuan was obtained.

"This money is so easy to come by. No wonder companies always want to take advantage of the European Community. How do we divide it?"

"Ouch!"

Elliot was shocked violently and screamed uncontrollably.

[Lille: Of course it’s easy to come by just such a little money. Don’t fantasize about what will happen before you start working. 】

Elliot rubbed his neck. The feeling of electrotherapy was not good, especially the kind of electrotherapy brought by AI remote control.

"200,000 is not much? You can buy two hundred second-hand cars."

[Lille: There isn’t much to do. First go to the edge of the city to find a piece of land. After it’s laid out, we’ll go dig people. 】

"Okay, brother, I will listen to you in everything, but what about the security company you just asked about? What does that mean? Do we still need bodyguards?"

Elliot asked as they got on the bus and they had already walked out of the government building.

He didn't understand the meaning of what Lille asked him to ask at all, just like he couldn't understand why Lille said 200,000 was too little.

Isn’t this why we don’t eat minced meat? Just like the small entrepreneur on TV last month who said that 10 million euros is a small number.

Lear only felt a little headache: To be honest, it couldn't be a bad thing that Elliot liked asking questions, which meant that although he was not young, he still had some desire to learn.

But the problem is that his ideas are too conservative.

[Lille: Do you think 200,000 can buy your life? 】

"That's for sure. I'm just a small worker. I'll probably only earn that much in my lifetime, 200,000. But I feel like I'm not actually worth that much money?"

[Johnny: In Night City, as long as you find the right person, 500 euros can buy your neighbor’s life. You are really not worth that much money. 】

Elliot opened his mouth, thinking that the news reports were still conservative. Before, he always felt that the European Community always reported bad news to discredit Night City and highlight the necessity of European barriers.

[Lille: In this place, if the conditions are met, 100 euros should be able to buy a life. But we still calculate it based on 500. The monthly maintenance cost of the British-French channel is in the range of 24 to 36 million euros. In the event of an emergency, it may be possible to buy a life. Increase some. 】

[Lille: This channel also carries material, data and energy trade, with an annual trade volume of 50 to 60 billion euros. 】

[Lille: In other words, the direct benefits of this channel can buy at least 48,000 lives every month, and the indirect benefits can affect the lives of at least 10 million people every month]

[Lille: Do you still think 200,000 is a lot now? 】

Astronomical figures impacted Elliot's brain, and simple and crude logic easily made him realize how important this matter was.

And how much right and wrong this matter can cause: even if only 10% of the benefits are obtained, it is enough to make companies crazy.

Under the protection of European barriers, even if ordinary people are overwhelmed by high-intensity work and difficult life, it is difficult for them to engage in extreme behavior: objectively they cannot get tools and have no ability, but subjectively they can at least make a fool of themselves. Most of the time, eating is just a bit bitter.

Even if you are poorer, you still have life, and there is no need to ruin your entire life.

But enterprises are different. Such huge interests can become subjective motives and objective motives.

Whose life can’t be bought?

The rail buses are not full of people. There are old people looking at handheld terminals, young people immersed in the visual system monitors, and hard-working office workers.

Folkestone is a busy town. You can't live without a job here. Everyone is busy.

Such a familiar routine suddenly became less familiar, and Elliot swallowed his saliva--

Maybe some of these people are communicating with their employers and preparing to get rid of themselves in a suitable place?

[Lille: Very good, you now realize the seriousness of the problem. You said that you are not worth 200,000, which is a fact. ]

[Lille: So from now on, you have to do your best to make yourself worth 200,000, otherwise.]

[Lille: You will die. ]

Elliot swallowed his saliva: "Then why don't we directly hire international security like Arasaka, Military Technology or Lazarus Group? If we have their protection."

When Lille asked if Sevens knew any security companies, the latter's surprise on his face was already undisguised, which Elliot could not understand.

Why was he not surprised when he came to report the European Tunnel Company, but was surprised when asked about this?

After understanding the interests involved, Elliot's question became: Why not directly hire some powerful military contractors?

For example, Arasaka, Arasaka is the leader in this field! The advertisement said that as long as he made a phone call or transferred money, the world's top bodyguards would arrive in Folkestone.

[Lille: There are many reasons, but you only need to remember: 200,000 for their services is just right, but your value becomes 200,000 minus the hiring fee.]

[Lille: I said, you have to make yourself worth this 200,000. ]

"Ding Dong--"

"Chengnan Station, arrived."

Swish.

Behind him, the car door closed, and Elliot froze in place, not knowing what to do.

[Lille: Now go find the local property management company. I have locked a few places on the Internet. I will go there now. ]

[Lille: You may be followed, but I can't be sure who is following you for the time being. ]

[Lille: Johnny, help him keep an eye on him. I need to check the list sent by Sevens. ]

Johnny appeared in Elliot's field of vision and made a gesture to Lille to indicate that he knew.

As the digital soul in his head, Johnny and Elliot share vision, which is equivalent to having an extra visual CPU with a little more experience.

". How terrifying, they don't have guns in their hands? This is a serious crime in the European Community, it shouldn't be possible."

[Johnny: It's really interesting, they are all places on Earth, and most people here have never seen a gun. ]

[Johnny: There must be guns - I think there must be. ]

[Johnny: Welcome to the free world. ]
