Linda Linda was lying in her bathtub, at this moment she opened the Utopia Security company system, analyzing each member of the management's personality and habits while starting to take out loans to purchase three assistant AIs as her aides.
If she was going to do it, she naturally aimed to do it to the best, and immediately she bought some paid tutorials online to learn.
Linda Linda was well aware that the working environment had changed from before, where solving problems was as easy as sleeping with a man, but that approach was useless with Sun Jack.
Since she wasn't planning to talk about feelings with him anymore, she had to prove herself sufficiently useful in the company to secure a place there.
Linda Linda took the work stimulant delivered by a drone and drank it immediately.
As the black liquid flowed down her throat to her stomach, Linda Linda's body shuddered, and a night's worth of fatigue disappeared instantly, her mind also became incredibly clear.
She kept busy until the day turned bright again, only then did she climb out of the water.
Glancing at the time on the top left of the interface, she didn't bother to sleep, having her pet bird bring another tube of energy supplement which she drank down quickly then started to get ready and headed out.
After hurriedly buying a nutritional paste from a vending machine, Linda Linda lifted her head and looked at the ever-growing company building ahead, her new workplace, and her lips started to curl up.
As she opened the flavor adjuster and squeezed the sticky nutritional paste into her mouth, she walked towards the building in her transparent high-heels with determined steps.
The moment she entered the company lobby, Linda Linda switched to work mode, insterting the chip she had just bought, above everyone's heads in the lobby appeared their names, job positions, ages, salaries, and personalities.
This was just the beginning, with enough data, the chip could even display the employee satisfaction levels regarding the company.
This information not only appeared before her eyes but, as she accessed the company system, Linda Linda could even find out about everyone in the company, especially those whose positions were lower than hers.
And as she approached, along with their changing facial features, even their emotions and heartbeat would be displayed that could help her in her work moving forward.
"Request for office change," Linda Linda sent a request to the company's main AI, and soon a system prompt popped up on her interface, and the cold female voice of the system spoke up.
"Request approved, Company Relations Department, Work Studio 3rd Floor B4-1."
When Linda Linda followed the elevator to the 3rd floor and opened the office door, the intoxicating smell of formaldehyde hit her, and she couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Ignoring the system's environmental pollution warning, Linda Linda touched every part of the studio with her hand, a smile appearing on her face, she had broken into this room, never thinking she'd have the day to break others.
But once the excitement passed, she immediately began to complete the work she hadn't finished last night, with the data of thousands of employees being processed rapidly by big data AI, various risk factors popped out.
Based on priorities, Linda Linda found the current biggest issue needing resolution was the Priest and his bunch of cyborg children.
Although they had made up with Sun Jack thanks to her help, it didn't mean she couldn't be suspicious of them.
Those over a hundred cyborg children were all from the Mercenary Marketing Department, not only did they have no concept of death, they were powerful, and most of their salaries went into replacing their prosthetic bodies.
And it was precisely such a group that was fiercely loyal to the Priest, an outside figure of the company, which was absolutely not allowable as a threat to the company.
If this group could betray Utopia Security once, they could betray the company twice, and must not go unguarded.
Linda Linda knew that the Priest and Sun Jack used to work together as mercenaries, and their relationship was deep.
If Sun Jack were left to handle the situation himself, his kind would certainly succumb to past connections and he would find such situations conflicting.
Even if he were informed personally, he would equally feel troubled since choosing to act or not would be difficult for him.
However, Linda Linda understood that it was precisely because there are tasks that bosses find inconvenient to handle themselves that her presence is necessary.
No matter how large the company, there needs to be someone to take the blame and do the dirty work for the boss, and someone parachuted in like her fits the bill perfectly for such roles.
This is the identity she had crafted for herself within the company: if she wanted to stay, she had to create irreplaceable value for the boss.
Her next task was to weaken the Priest's people's cohesion without alerting Sun Jack.
That day, with the help of Old Six's department, Linda Linda made slight adjustments to the orphans' groups.
The former groups of eight mercenaries had doctors and hackers inserted among them to increase their survival rate.
Such adjustments were reasonable, and since it was in their best interest, there was no reason to refuse.
It was slow work that required patience, but she could afford to wait.
After Linda Linda had sorted out these matters, she opened the information on the Priest, knowing that the cyborg children were just underlings; the Priest was the real figure of authority.
After reviewing the information for a while, Linda Linda decided to make contact first.
She arrived at the location marked on the map for the Priest but was surprised to find that this basement's second floor had been transformed into a makeshift chapel.
In the center of the chapel, an AA was piecing together a cybernetic deity using various mechanical scraps. "Priest, will this do?"
"It's done, thank you, child," the Priest replied, approaching the deity and placing the Metal Red Book in the nailed left hand of the cross.
"You're welcome, it's what we should do in logistics."
After doing this, the Priest began to pray devoutly in front of the deity.
Linda Linda did not interrupt; she watched silently from behind.
When the Priest finished his prayers, he turned and looked towards Linda Linda. "Montana, is there something you need?"
"Yes," Linda Linda nodded, "Priest, I have come to confess."
"Sorry, the confessional isn't ready yet. You can come back in a couple of days, or if you're in a hurry, we can go to the old church," he replied.
"Is that so? That's a pity. Priest, through your previous baptism, I felt my sins were cleansed, thank you."
"No, don't thank me. These aren't your sins; they are theirs. The sins you carry are merely a forced choice under the oppression of capitalists," the Priest said, stretching out his finger, alternating between drawing a sickle and a hammer on his chest.
