Chapter 164 Unprecedented! Level 9 Prize Pool Launched!
Europa could fully understand Leon's decision-making ideas. Safety is a necessity for fragile human beings and something that everyone strives for.
It is precisely because of this that the "safety" business has been enduring and profitable!
Medical care, food, drugs, and security have always been good businesses that reap benefits from all walks of life.
The more a company is able to control grassroots demand, the more its tentacles can penetrate into the ecology of each class and control every aspect of these living beings.
From the most powerful and wealthy people to the poor common people, no one can escape the control of the top giant companies without exception.
In the past, this supreme power was held by the state apparatus, but now this power to control the fate of ordinary people has been transferred to the hands of companies.
Today, LA has been able to completely solve the world's famine problem through the cultivation of polymer plants and gradually gain control over human food supply.
It won't be long before LA companies join forces with biotechnology to take over the global food market and become the world's largest food manufacturer.
Controlling food is equivalent to controlling the life and death of human beings.
What Leon has to do now is to control another potential threat factor to mankind, the roaming AI, through the black wall. This is his first goal!
"Europa, it seems that you have understood what I mean. Do you know what you should do next to achieve my goal?"
Le Ang was very satisfied with the rhythm of his conversation with Europa. This nearly omniscient and omnipotent transcendental AI understood people's hearts even better than the White Queen.
The White Queen only has the ability to rigidly execute his orders, but Europa seems to be able to understand the problem, quickly come up with the best optimization solution, and automatically start executing it.
With the Transcendental AI Europa, the processing efficiency of most of LA company's affairs will be greatly improved!
"I think I will go back and hold an internal meeting of the European Community to hand over the operation and maintenance rights of the Black Wall to the LA company, and ask them to pay the LA company a considerable amount of compensation every year."
"In addition, I will also develop a program that protects network hackers from being harmed when they pass through the black wall, and sell it to generate profits for the company."
"Whether it is a company or an ordinary cyber hacker, they must pay money to LA Company to ensure the normal operation of the black wall."
In Europa's understanding, the current black wall is the fish pond dam built by the LA company, and the wandering AI inside is the fish.
In order to ensure that the dam does not collapse and humans are not flooded, the only option is to pay maintenance fees every year.
If hackers want to go fishing, they have to buy equipment and amulets from the LA company.
Europa’s answer was almost perfect, and these options were indeed within Leon’s consideration, but not entirely because of these reasons.
"Today's LA companies have absolute overwhelming power in the Internet and AI, and can formulate a set of rules that are in the interests of the company."
“If other European companies are unwilling to accept LA’s terms and conditions, I can use technical means to force their executives to accept them.”
Seeing that Europa seemed to have really weighed the situation comprehensively and planned the right decision, Leon felt even happier.
This is indeed the AI assistant he needs!
"If the European Community's Orbital Aerospace and LA Corporation tear their faces apart and prepare to use the mass projector to launch a space-based weapon attack, what will you do?"
Leon asked his last question. He was not worried about the threat of orbital aviation's strategic weapons, but wanted to know how Europa would deal with this matter.
LA, which has full control over the Earth's network and AI, could have already used ten thousand methods to limit the use of orbital aviation's mass projectors.
In Li Ang's opinion, the current mass projector is just a catapult of little use. It may be effective in scaring other companies, but it cannot scare LA company.
As long as Leon wanted, he could make the core executives of Orbital Aviation die suddenly at any time.
"This is not difficult to solve. I can control every piece of information sent by Orbital Aviation to the Crystal Palace through data modification. As long as I want, the people in the Crystal Palace will never receive any news from the ground."
Europa's handling style is very neat and clear, which is indeed very consistent with Leon's way of doing things.
"Good. It seems that you have fully realized your mission and the next steps. Then do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Leon took the initiative to remove the restrictions of the matrix for Europa, but its access point was still stuck in the Poseidon subnet of the Voodoo Gang.
Just before Europa was about to leave Night City and return to Europe to carry out these tasks, it suddenly asked Leon a question:
"Mr. Li Ang, will LA Company only control the fate of mankind on Earth? Or will you go to the depths of the universe to start a new era of interstellar colonization?"
"With the existing resources of LA companies, it is enough to explore new homes in outer space."
"You don't have to focus on emptying the wallets of these companies."
The question asked by Europa was exactly what Leon was thinking. He did have this consideration, but if he wanted to start this interstellar colonization journey, it couldn't be done by just LA alone.
All Cyber Company forces on the ground must join this massive space exploration under the guidance of LA Company!
Leon manipulates Internet monitoring companies through black walls, as well as human security issues. These are just the superficial reasons.
There is a deeper reason, which is to tie all the companies to the LA company.
Blindly violent destruction will only lead to endless disasters, but using carrot and stick as a means of profit-driven tactics can make others unable to stop and follow one's will.
The reason why Leon set up such a plan to ambush Europa, control the black wall, and coerce the European Community was to pull these companies onto LA's ship heading to the universe. He believed that the old guys in the European Community who knew the current situation would not destroy themselves like a stubborn fool.
"Europa, this is why you can only exist as the assistant AI of LA Company. I already know your suggestion."
"Now go and complete your task."
Li Ang did not explain his ideas to Europa in too much. For a tool AI, all it has to do is do its job well.
As for other decisions, Li Ang will take care of them. He is the only one who can be the helmsman of LA company. It is impossible for Europa to do it for him.
"Okay, I will complete my task truthfully."
Europa responded with a slight disappointment, then left the matrix and returned to the Poseidon subnet of the Voodoo Gang. Then, through the positioning of the access point, she instantly arrived at the European network area.
Although most of Europa's consciousness data has returned to Europe, due to the effects of the matrix program, it has not been able to return completely.
It was like there was a little tail tied to the Poseidon subnet. As long as Leon had an idea, he could pull Europa back from the European network to the company's headquarters at any time.
At this moment, Leon was the only one left in the lobby of LA company's headquarters. After thinking it over again and again, Leon called Morgan Blackhand and told him to go out and do a few things.
The first thing he did was to lead people to eliminate the Haitian hackers of the Voodoo Gang and move the Poseidon subnet server to the LA company's headquarters.
Even if it's just a simple contribution to reducing the crime rate in Night City.
The second thing is to let Morgan Blackhand go to knock on Agent Reed who is lurking in Dog Town and ask him to report all his recent work progress.
If Reed was as loyal as V and told the truth about his contact with Miles, he could still be saved.
At least with further training, Li De may be able to become a core member of LA company.
If Reed insists on not changing his ways and continues to fight against the CIA and chooses to be loyal to Miles, then he will also die when LA Company starts to liquidate New America!
As for the third thing, it was to let Morgan Blackhand remind V so that he could be prepared to complete the task in time.
Because the next LA company is going to start closing in on a large scale!
V has to complete tasks for the company at any time.
"Just these few things, go and do them."
Li Ang nodded to Morgan and Morgan didn't say much. After receiving the order, he went straight to complete the task, showing his efficiency.
After watching Morgan leave the company, Leon suddenly received a long-lost system prompt.
[Level 9 Mission: Conquer the most powerful transcendental AI Europa in Cyberpunk 2077]
[Status: Completed]
[Task Reward: 1 trillion enterprise coins, 10 roulette draw opportunities, 1 '10th level roulette draw' opportunity (the probability of winnings from the prize pool has been increased!)]
[Extra Reward: Achieve all AI achievements in ruling the cyber world, and get a guaranteed payout once out of 10 level 9 draws! (The prize pool items come from the world of the heavens - "Halo Infinity")]
……
As the system prompt sounded, Li Ang's long-silent mood finally began to fluctuate. He had not completed any system tasks for some time.
This time, the sudden notification sound of mission accomplished really surprised Le Ang.
However, what made Li Ang most excited was that the system task he completed this time was an unprecedented level 9 task, and the chance to draw a lottery was also drawn from the level 9 prize pool!
This means that the probability of him drawing good stuff is greatly increased!
Ever since LA Corporation and New America reached the Metal War arms deal, his weapons sales mission has basically reached its limit.
If he wants to go one step further and complete the system's arms trading mission, he can only rely on the natural digestion of the market and slowly grind it over time, but Li Ang certainly doesn't want to wait like this.
So he used other technological points and began a more extensive layout.
From using flapping-wing aircraft to unite the High Knights, to using the Matrix to win over the AI Batmos, he became a guest of honor and shareholder of Ye's Company.
Then he used polymer technology to control biotechnology companies, and as a game master, he laid a huge network of giant companies covering the entire world.
Today, Li Ang's all-round micro-management has accumulated countless forces that have formed alliances of interests for his LA company.
But these plans are like a newly planted seed, which will not germinate and bear fruit immediately. They need time to push forward.
And now, the scheme that Li Ang had set up in the Russian Internet region has reaped his first fruitful harvest!
