章 243: Chapter 217 Miyazato Kazama

As Kyoto Infinity's influence declined, the Z1 Research Institute could no longer pay its salaries.

Due to a large number of criminal records, Miyazato Kazama's salary had already been reduced to 2,100 a month. Yet even this meager amount was not dispensed last month. According to the director, she still had to continue working until she was acquired by another company. During this period, the institute wouldn't pay her, as she was technically put up for sale and no longer considered an employee, becoming free labor.

She sat at her workstation designing research plans, staring blankly, planning to starve herself.

Because of the food shortage, logistics also began to gouge prices. The original white-packaged cheap nutrient paste was no longer supplied, replaced by a golden-packaged version with the same nutritional content but ten times more expensive.
