Se-na rubbed her forehead, seemingly having a headache from explaining this extremely complicated matter.
Drinking alone seemed a bit boring, so she started licking the orange slices off the rim of her glass.
"Furthermore, since we know how to solve this problem, we naturally have a thorough understanding of it. As for the details of this problem, I'll say it again: I'm sorry, I can't tell you now. You'll know everything when the time is right. If I tell you now and you start researching, and you achieve significant results, that would be your downfall..."
367. Tensions are high. 3
"It's one thing for the Allied nations to temporarily suspend their research on this project, but if someone secretly picks it up again, produces results, and gets caught by the higher-ups, that person might be in trouble. But Umbrella is different. They have the status and reputation to back them up, plus the methods they have, so it's unlikely they'll be caught for a long time."
"So, what you're saying is..."
In response to RPK's question, Se-na gave a mischievous chuckle.
"Hehe, it sounds simple, but it's very difficult to do. You have to try to collect relevant evidence to prove that they are researching the project, and then try to bypass the governor and report to the central government to attract the attention of the higher-ups."
It certainly sounds like a viable plan, but as Sena said, the difficulty is beyond imagination...
RPK asked again, "But we don't even know what this project is, or where to start looking. Even if we find it, we'll have to avoid Umbrella's sight, bypass the governor, and report it to the central government. Even if we report it, we'll still have to prove the authenticity of the evidence. But our identities are already sensitive, so isn't it impossible to make them believe us?"
She had assumed that since Se-na could provide a solution, she could also effectively resolve any contradictions and problems that might arise in the plan. However, Se-na's answer was beyond her expectations.
Shina shrugged: "Yeah, so this plan is completely unfeasible and exists only in theory. To deal with Umbrella's methods, we have to try to convince the higher-ups. But do you think the higher-ups would trust one of the country's largest biotechnology companies or a few small-time hackers of unknown origin?"
It seems that from the very beginning, she never intended for RPK and the others to carry out this plan.
"Do you understand? From the beginning, I never intended to tell you the details about these symptoms. I wanted you to know as little as possible. Continue with your own affairs and complete your current plans, such as increasing your influence. It doesn't necessarily have to be your own identity; a false identity will do. At least you need to achieve these things before we can discuss future arrangements."
Otherwise, you could be accused of spreading false terrorist information at any time, and even if we can't find you, our subsequent plans will completely fail due to Umbrella and the White Eagle's vigilance.
......
Well, it seems the international situation in this world is much more complicated than they initially imagined.
First, the commander's previous symptoms might have involved a research topic that international organizations were trying to study but had stalled. Then, the international situation became increasingly tense, with Umbrella holding a dominant position and having a significant influence on the White Eagle's biopharmaceutical technology. And now, there are a few strangers who say they can offer them help, but what they say cannot be taken as a drunken joke.
And it's very likely true...
RPK fell silent; the only potentially feasible plan was ultimately deemed impossible.
Judging from the other person's expression, they weren't in a very optimistic mood, so Shina waved her hand to signal them to relax.
"Relax, I already told you to continue with the original plan. Just do what you're supposed to do. I believe that with your skills, you can definitely make Umbrella suffer. As for the rest, leave it to us."
That's true, but the girls simply couldn't maintain an optimistic attitude...
It's normal to proceed according to the original plan, but they have already glimpsed a corner of the current situation, which means that they will need to consider more factors in every step they take next. If a serious mistake occurs, it may lead to the failure of the entire subsequent plan.
In addition, aside from Mrs. Grey's biotechnology company and the impending arrival of Thomson's gang, they hadn't considered the issue of influence at all, because they had never intended to expose themselves from the beginning and had always been in hiding. However, Sena's words told them that they needed some credible means of influence to fight against Umbrella.
In a corner unnoticed by Se-na, 416 dialed everyone's earpiece in the bar.
"Everyone, head to MDR's room for a meeting. MDR, no objections?"
Now, MDR won't resort to inappropriate insults anymore: "No, instead, let's hurry up and figure out a solution. I don't want to see the Commander trip and fall flat on his face halfway there."
......
"What's wrong? You're not saying anything now? Are you hesitating?"
RPK's prolonged silence prompted Shina to try and make a joke, but RPK quickly shook his head in denial.
"No, it's just that I feel the current plan might need a lot of revisions..."
"Yes, yes, it's a good thing to repair it. After all, you can't use a guitar to play a violin."
That's a very apt example...
Now, they need more time to come up with a solution.
"Besides that mall manager, what else did you do?"
The conversation between the two had already stopped, but AR15 had somehow appeared behind Se-na and sat on the bar stool next to her.
"Oh! Isn't this the lady with the gun from that night? Hello, hello!"
Se-na seemed very happy, as if AR15 and she had been friends for a long time, only AR15 was acting rather coldly.
"AR15, what brings you back? And, do you two know each other?"
RPK has never heard of AR team negotiating with Sena, and shouldn't AR15 be helping to clean up at Mrs. Grey's company right now?
"Well, I guess so, it's just that they saw us when we were solving the problem."
Se-na responded.
"AR15, is that right?"
AR15 replied, "...Yes, Miss Pascal asked me to come back and retrieve a document for her. When I returned, I found you two talking, and I eavesdropped for a few minutes. It seemed the conversation wasn't very interesting; there were many questions, but we didn't know what they were..."
Both sets of arguments were the same: to solve the problem. But this always creates new problems, namely, what are the problems?
To gain someone's trust, you must first bring them enough tangible benefits. They may have actually benefited, or it may just be a set of arguments by Shina.
Even when she showed distrust, Shina remained indifferent, as if only Luo Fan's suspicions made her a little anxious.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. If it were us, we would still offer help in this way. You'll gradually realize it over time. And there will be more and more people like us. There will be those who show goodwill like us, and there may be those with ill intentions. It's good to learn to be vigilant in advance, but you also need to distinguish between friend and foe... Ooh!"
368 Cyber Media
After saying that, the girl pinched a strawberry on the fruit plate, tossed it into the air, and caught it with her mouth.
RPK chuckled inexplicably, "So, are you an enemy or a friend?"
“Me? Of course, I’m a friend, including Miss Nekitia. She’ll be happy to meet Mr. Luo. Also, these strawberries are really nice, they’re very well preserved.”
It seems I can't quite see through this cute and seemingly harmless pink-haired girl anymore...
Se-na enjoyed the fresh fruit, and neither of them asked any further questions; the conversation temporarily paused.
However, RPK waved his hand at the air...
A few meters away, WA looked away from the scope and silently put the gun back into his violin case.
She really wanted to get rid of the girl for Luo Fan right now, but for the sake of the bigger picture, they could only wait and see.
According to Shina, since they are the biggest beneficiaries, why not play the long game and see what the other party can offer them?
A few minutes later, Sena wiped her hands clean with a handkerchief and put her dark gold violin and bow back into the box.
"Alright~ It's about time, I should be leaving now. As for the meeting with Miss Negitia, let's talk about it at the next large corporate dinner."
"Walk slowly without sending."
RPK took the empty glass from the other person and turned to wash it.
As she was leaving, Shina suddenly said to 45, who was operating the laptop, "Make sure to play the entire recording for Mr. Luo! Don't take things out of context, it won't benefit either of us."
45 glanced at her but did not answer.
Then, Shina spun around in front of the wine glass door, seemingly dancing to the music, before slowly pushing open the wooden door and leaving.
Indeed, it seems as if music surrounds her at all times, which is no wonder given her superb violin skills.
20 seconds after Se-na left...
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the executioner stood up.
"Damn it, I can't stand her anymore. Does she know what we're planning to do? Does she think we're incapable of handling the situation afterward?"
They have always been the ones with the advantage, hiding their identities. When have they ever suffered such humiliation?
However, competition is always multifaceted and back-and-forth. While they may have a significant advantage in the public eye, they are at a temporary disadvantage when facing Se-na, who possesses more information than they do, and the Philharmonic Orchestra behind her.
Even if the other party clearly states to them that they are friends, not enemies...
"Don't rush. First, let's figure out how to increase our influence as she suggested. Let's go to MDR's room for a meeting. We need to talk about this."
There were no customers in the bar, making it a good time to go. RPK stood up from behind the bar, unbuttoned his collar, and prepared to go up the stairs. The agent by the door also turned over the "Closed" sign; the bar was temporarily not available to customers.
Even though they were anxious, there was nothing they could do. The girls could only go to MDR's room to discuss the follow-up matters.
......
A door on the fourth floor opened, and RPK went in first. Then, a girl with long hair came into view, sitting in front of several computers, casually putting her feet on the table, and holding a bag of potato chips in her arms.
After the door opened, MDR turned his gaming chair around, still looking rather lazy.
"Hey, you're here. I just paused my live stream. Come on, let's hear what you guys think now?"
The group sat on the bed or on the floor, turning the girl's room into a temporary meeting room.
45 said in a deep voice, "RPK, you are a party involved in this conversation. What is your opinion on what Shina said?"
"It's questionable, but her words are highly credible. Although mixing truth with falsehood is a common tactic, as of now, she hasn't posed any real threat to us, so her credibility is probably quite high."
They know a lot. If they wanted to be hostile to them, they might strike when the girls knew nothing, catching them completely off guard. Why wait until they negotiated before considering threats? During the negotiations, Shina would surely have realized that the girls were quite suspicious.
"I'm certain that no other faction knows about our plan. Although I don't like to say it, we're all basically people who wear Commander's Rings, and we all have some... in any way, it's absolutely impossible for us to reveal any details. And even with such effective secrecy, they still managed to obtain part of our plan. Their methods must be no less sophisticated than Umbrella's or the local government's. Even if there are doubts, based on analysis, they are indeed trying to curry favor with us in this way..."
416's analysis was not without merit, but RPK still shuddered when the topic of betrayal came up.
Even if it hadn't happened yet, since the thought had already been formed, it was impossible for her to continue deceiving herself with a plausible facade of consistency. Even though, from the moment she arrived here until now, she had never entertained the slightest thought of deceiving Luo Fan or anyone else...
But I managed to suppress this unease as much as possible and refocused my thoughts on the discussion to come.
M870 casually scooped a handful of potato chips from the MDR bag and started eating them.
"MDR, how many followers do you have on your live streams now?"
"748W, what's wrong?"
MDR's answer seemed to suddenly remind everyone of something, except for the few from Ironblood Construction...
"whee......"
M870 chuckled twice.
“MDR, didn’t you used to work at Cyber Media? Why don’t you develop your own media business now, or just start your own media company like before? Wouldn’t that be the best and most convenient way to increase your influence?”
As if struck by a sudden realization, MDR abruptly flung the bag of potato chips at Little 9's head.
"Oh right, why didn't I think of that? I could just start my own Cyber Media!"
"Yeah, isn't that right? Why don't you just start your own Cyber Media?"
Little 9 was left with nothing but taking the bag of potato chips off his head, grabbing a few bites, and looking like he'd heard everyone talking about it while he was gone.
40 nodded: "I think we can give it a try. We can help leverage our expertise and expand our brand awareness and influence."
"That's right! With more people and higher visibility, only by doing a good job can we truly call ourselves a media company! Let's get started right away, and begin recruiting for the live stream later!"
......
"Um, let me ask you something..."
Little 9 suddenly raised his hand.
The MDR plan was something to be happy about, and before anyone could react, they all stared at Xiao 9.
"Um...MDR, to join your Cyber Media, should I submit my medical records or my resume...?"
369 Tertiary Industry
Project: Shift Beyond Reality
Cyber Media
How a media company gains sufficient influence depends to some extent on the fields it operates in.
Global entertainment, media, fashion, e-sports, fashion talent shows, idol talent shows—creating entertainment projects that are popular with the masses—if development goes smoothly, they can even get involved in the service industry and become giants in the tertiary sector.
However, it is clearly unrealistic to expect to achieve the above results in a short period of time.
However, in the initial stage, at least good publicity and promotion are needed to let others know that an entertainment industry with great development prospects is about to enter the market and bring high-quality products, committed to bringing high-quality entertainment products to the public.
They have the ability to solve this problem, but not entirely...
"Ugh, damn it! Why isn't Dandley here? If she were here, she could probably just tamper with the big data push and send the whole Cyber Media packing!"
MDR grabbed her gaming keyboard and started banging it furiously on the table, just like when she made a mistake in the game.
M870 quickly stopped her: "Tsk, this is an AW768 mechanical hard drive, don't smash it!"
To succeed in this industry, receiving guidance from pioneers is crucial. A discerning mentor is essential for recognizing talent, but how do these women find such mentors? Simply put, they offer money. However, money is all they have. Aside from live streaming, they have virtually no involvement in other entertainment industries. Even if they wanted to offer a helping hand, they have nowhere to do so…
"Hiss, MDR, you need to understand that the media industry is, after all, a company, and you haven't even gone through the registration process yet. Apart from having the name Cyber Media, do you have even the slightest connection to the word 'media'?"
