Osborne Megacorp

Chicago's industry is very developed and has a wide range of categories, making it very suitable for opening a branch.

Harry had always wanted to find a place to expand the company and transfer production capacity outside of New York to avoid having too much impact on the company after the New York War.

Before, it was because he couldn't control places that were too far away, but now, as long as he lays out the power grid, Laining can control this area.

Therefore, he has always been curious about what is wrong with Chicago that does not allow the construction of electric grid.

"Mr. Osborne, thank you for coming to Chicago. There are many opportunities here and many people want to meet you."

Harry was greeted by the mayor here, a fat man with a bloated figure.

Harry turned a deaf ear to what he said - as soon as they met, this guy kept talking about who wanted to meet and discuss with him, and where a banquet was going to be held, which made him a little irritated.

Sitting in the car, Harry suddenly saw a very technological advertisement on the billboard across the street.

"...ctOS connects everything, embraces smart life, and makes the world a better place."

The next second, the advertising screen became distorted--

呲---

The harsh sound of tires sliding on the ground made everyone's hearts tense. A blue car slammed into another white car. The lights at the intersection suddenly flashed. It was clear that a few seconds ago The still orderly traffic suddenly became chaotic, and a series of car accidents appeared in front of Harry!

In the chaos, a man covered in blood crawled out of the white car that was hit first, with a panicked look on his face -

Immediately afterwards, a man also walked out of the blue car, wearing a peaked cap on his head, a black scarf around his face, and holding a pistol in his hand...

boom!

This man killed a man in the street in broad daylight!

In the chaos, the man in the peaked hat walked to the body and took a look, then immediately grabbed a motorcycle and disappeared into the chaos.

"What's going on! Let the police--" Donald was obviously panicked. After yelling at the people in the front seat, he hurriedly looked at Harry, trying to explain something.

But he saw Harry laugh, with unknown meaning.

"Every city has outrageous criminals, and I can understand you, Mayor Donald." Harry said he would not be scared. "It's just...is this ctOS system really as powerful as advertised?"

Hearing this, Donald's face instantly turned red.

"Of course! Is Mr. Osborne interested in this?"

"Interested." That was too interesting. "This is a great invention."

[Abnormal project found: ctOS (from the Watch Dogs series)]

[Description: A super central control system that integrates monitoring, Internet of Things, data analysis and prediction, accurate push and other functions. The city is like a large movable toy to its owner. 】

[Control or destroy ctOS in exchange for a technology]

"Yes, I also think this is a very great invention!" Speaking of this, Mayor Donald's face lit up.

He relied on this system and his masters to turn things around and become the mayor of Chicago.

As he spoke, Donald hurriedly operated a few times on his mobile phone to instruct the control room to clear the route for the convoy.

I saw that the streets that were in chaos just now actually slowly made way for Harry. Just like Moses parted the Red Sea, ctOS also separated the traffic flow for Harry.

And Harry knew that this system could do more than just that.

As long as it is a device that is connected to the Internet - in fact, with the promotion of ctOS, almost all devices in Chicago are connected to the Internet, even the heating valves on the street and the lift bridges connecting the city can all be operated in real time.

Relying on ctOS, developers also developed a data prediction system called "Bellweather", which is used to predict various data, including lottery data, stock trends, and even each person's crime probability.

Not only that, it can also hint and guide you to do what he wants you to do by constantly pushing messages.

For example, if he wants you to divorce your husband, he will tell you how to test whether your husband is cheating, what are the symptoms of cheating on your husband, and even how the woman can get more property after marriage, and vice versa.

With the help of this system and the control of the mastermind behind the scenes, Donald successfully reversed the decline and was elected mayor of Chicago.

And Bellweather successfully predicted Donald's taking office, which makes it even easier to promote. The more data, the more it can do. You can imagine what kind of power this system will eventually have.

This is similar to how Hydra used Dr. Zola to monitor the world after World War II.

"Amazing system. The person who developed the system must be a genius. Maybe I should take some time to meet him."

"Great! In fact, their investors want to meet you too."

Harry smiled. What Donald introduced to him was not the development team, but the "investor", that is, Donald's behind-the-scenes controller, Quinn, a very powerful gang boss.

But Harry is not interested in Quinn. If things go well, he can resolve the matter without even meeting Quinn.

"But... there are always some not-so-smart people who resist progress." Donald sighed.

"Oh? That's really stupid. Who is it?"

"A hacker group called DedSec insists that we have violated citizens' privacy rights. This is simply nonsense!"

"Well...this system does have this ability, and their worries are reasonable. But I believe you are not such a person, right?"

"Of course. But if they only oppose the promotion of ctOS, then they are also obstructing your company's project in every possible way. Last week they even openly blocked the construction on site!"

Harry knew now what trouble Max was talking about.

Presumably these hackers thought that Osborne and Quinn, the man behind ctOS, were on the same team, or someone made them think that they were on the same team as Quinn.

But Harry and he are really not the same group. He has never liked to cooperate with gangsters.

Even if the gang even supports the mayor as a puppet.

"Hmm... I think I understand what the problem is."

The solution to this matter is simple, just change the mayor and get rid of Quinn.

This is also what the protagonist Aiden Pierce does in the original work. What Harry has to do now is to fund the protagonist group in the original work and then recruit them to work for him.

Arriving at the residence, Harry saw Donald off and then called Hurley.

"Hurley, help me check Bloom Company. It should be an emerging technology company. How much would it cost to buy it?"

"What? Well, you are really a willful CEO. Let me check..."

At this moment, Lenin told Harry that the phone was operating abnormally - someone was hacking into his phone.

Harry smiled and allowed Lenin to stop the invasion.

"This is a new information company. Its main activities are in Chicago. It seems that they are not short of money, but I think you need to pay attention:"

"Well...this company seems to have a lot of controversy. There is a hacker group accusing them of using illegal methods to monitor citizens' privacy...and," Hurley paused.

"They are hiring mercenaries with tainted backgrounds at high salaries to protect their facilities. Are you sure you want to buy it?"

"Then help me check the mercenaries they hire and provide them with a better contract. Also, help me check out the private armed contractors near Chicago. I want to hire several armed squads."

It’s okay to destroy it, I’m going to commit to ctOS.
