Chapter 1096: Chapter 944: Cherish Life, Stay Away from Overtime!

"Morning Star also has this phenomenon?"

Song Lan saw Lu Xiang looking as if she understood it well and asked, since he indeed did not have much say about the school atmosphere of 2167.

"Many."

Lu Xiang said, "Haven’t you met Isabella? Big families looking down on common people is the norm."

Her last trip to the Seventh District had proven that after her graduation, the ethos at Morning Star had become increasingly worse, to the extent that bullied students would rather make deals with the devil than let their tormentors go unpunished.

Of course, her theory did not apply to everyone.

Anfiya had military-grade cybernetic implants and they held important positions within the United Government; if students from different families encountered such situations, they would have no choice but to suffer in silence.

"Those who like to do such things often have combat-model prosthetics implanted, and even if the bullied children muster the courage to fight back, they would only incur even more relentless bullying."

This fully demonstrated the convenience of cybernetic bodies.

With money, anyone could become a bully.

In this era, the performance advantage of cybernetic bodies far outweighed courage or spirit.

Therefore, as long as the situation was within control, she did not oppose Anfiya teaching those people a lesson.

In fact, after that young master received the nickname "Pee-Pants King," the bullying phenomenon at Newster did indeed improve. After all, even those who weren’t present at the time saw the video of Anfiya pinning the perpetrator down and almost decapitating him with a thermal cutting blade, which made them consider the disparity between their cybernetic bodies before engaging in such actions.

Anfiya openly mentioned her opposition to campus bullying in her election manifesto for the student council, which won her a sizable number of votes.

"What’s the theme of today’s overtime? What happened again?"

Song Lan casually asked.

Compared to the issue of campus bullying, he felt that the problem of overtime also needed attention. Lu Xiang had only recently transferred from the Seventeenth District to the Counter-Intelligence Department, and the Review Meeting had already shown their true colors.

Especially since Lu Xiang had a strong sense of responsibility, her work at the Counter-Intelligence Department was busier than that of a Law Enforcers supervisor in a border city.

"Is it about military technology? Did you guys go help with their testing today?"

"Mhm, we ran into our old friend Wild Bone."

Song Lan nodded, "The people from military technology said he’s now 100% cybernetic, basically turned into something like artificial intelligence."

"I heard there were some problems during your test, and the Review Meeting is taking this matter very seriously."

After a series of incidents, the Review Meeting significantly valued military technology projects, particularly those involving Psychic Abilities. Wild Bone was pinned with high hopes, and for the company’s demands, the Review Meeting gave the go-ahead to proceed with everything. Therefore, the malfunction and rampage of Wild Bone’s program shocked many.

The Counter-Intelligence Department received orders right away, with the Review Meeting demanding that Military Intelligence Section Seven be put under close watch.

Considering the precedent set by the High-level Parliament, it couldn’t be guaranteed that the core management team of Military Technology had not been "contaminated." At this critical juncture, no one wanted to see a fully repaired Wild Bone become a indiscriminate killing machine causing chaos in The First Region, as this would further destabilize their already shaky credibility.

More and more civilians were realizing the United Government’s control over the world was fading, far from the prosperity of the golden age.

Many believed this decline began after the Dark Ages.

The current United Government was rife with social contradictions, corrupt and decadent, and the everyday work of the Counter-Intelligence Department was to prevent the spread of such unhealthy tendencies as much as possible.

If necessary, they would invite influential individuals spreading such rhetoric for a "talk" to educate them with a vivid lesson in thought.

Lu Xiang, being new to her position, was still not very familiar with the various operations of the Counter-Intelligence Department, and without the help of the Bug Swarm, she had to personally oversee many tasks. It was foreseeable that for a long time to come, overtime would become the norm.

She used to think that overtime was not a big deal, since she had nothing to do when she went home, but now the situation was different; she was married, after all.

"If it weren’t for your being on the scene, today’s experiment could have caused serious trouble again. When I came back, Zero, the project manager, had already been recalled by the Review Meeting for a talk."

The good news was that H1 Department had received unanimous approval from the Review Meeting, dispelling the doubts previously raised by the Review Meeting about the new department.

They had received numerous anonymous complaints claiming that the staff of the department were lazy and disrupted the work atmosphere of the Homeland Security Bureau, essentially being salary thieves.

But today’s incident proved that without the intervention of H1 Department, the malfunctioning Wild Bone could have not only caused large-scale destruction but could have potentially resulted in casualties among other Six Stars rescuers.

The Review Meeting could not allow two upheavals to occur in The First Region within a span of just a few months.

"Since they proposed a 100% cybernetic direction, why didn’t they start with artificial intelligence? Even if numerous cybernetic bodies are installed in artificial intelligence, they wouldn’t suffer from cyber psychosis."

Now their old friend, Wild Bone, was virtually indistinguishable from artificial intelligence.

Song Lan had been curious about this during his time in the Military Technology laboratory but had never started to ask. He had learned his lesson well from Ge Fu; it’s best not to discuss such scholarly issues with professionals. If such a question were posed to Ge Fu, he could talk your ear off for an hour or two.
