Loan for Food

"By the way, don't close this channel. If there are any mission-related matters in the future, we'll discuss them here." Song 6's voice came from Sun Jack's system.

Meanwhile, Sun Jack, who had returned home, was busy with something more important. He immediately clicked on the GG link for the previous interest-free loan, using his liver as collateral.

Since he was committed to this path, there was no need to be hesitant. He wouldn't be stingy with what needed to be paid.

As the screen flickered slightly, Sun Jack saw the 0.000@ in the upper right corner of his screen change to 3@.

A native liver, unmodified, would definitely be worth more than this. However, after the lowest interest collateral and deducting the origination fee, this was all they would give him.

After obtaining the 3@ crypto coin loan, Sun Jack immediately spent 1.4@ crypto coins to order drone weapon delivery, fully stocking up his combat prosthetic's palm cannonballs and bullets.

The palm cannonballs were especially useful, small and powerful, but also very expensive.

Looking at the 40 palm cannonballs and 300 bullets, Sun Jack felt a sense of security.

Next was something crucial for survival. Weapons were paramount.

Unfortunately, he didn't have enough money. Otherwise, Sun Jack would have definitely bought that optical camouflage Baldy had, the one that could turn invisible.

After ordering weapons, the second most important thing was food. Sun Jack was starving. He ordered takeout.

A bowl of ordinary noodles, or rather, instant noodles with some synthetic meat added, was delivered by a drone through the open window.

This ordinary bowl of noodles, as Sun Jack slurped it down with the soup, almost brought tears to his eyes.

The savory broth, the fragrant noodles, the rich beef flavor – it was incredibly delicious. He hadn't eaten such good noodles in over a thousand years.

A normal bowl of noodles tasted like a peerless delicacy in his mouth. He finished every last drop, not leaving a single bit behind.

Just as Sun Jack, still craving more, was about to order another bowl, he looked at the flashing bill on his screen and was so shocked his mouth fell open.

"A bowl of noodles? 0.02@? Are you kidding me?! Highway robbery!"

If one @ coin was worth ten thousand, then eating that bowl of noodles had just cost him 200!

"What kind of prices are these? My god, is food this expensive? Isn't there anything cheaper?" Sun Jack rubbed his half-full stomach and browsed again.

Soon, Sun Jack found the cheapest food at the very bottom of the UI: nutrient paste at 0.003@ per box, which was about 30 yuan.

But even 30 yuan felt expensive to Sun Jack, who was so poor he had to take out high-interest loans by mortgaging his organs.

After placing the order online, it was quickly delivered by a drone through the window.

Looking at the item in his hand, which resembled a large tube of toothpaste, Sun Jack thought for a moment, unscrewed the cap, and squeezed some into his mouth.

How to describe it? The bizarre texture, like enoki feces mixed with wax oil, left Sun Jack speechless. He could only gag and spit it out, protesting against the substance.

"This is edible?" Sun Jack clicked on the purchase page again. It was then that he noticed a small line of text in the nutrient paste's description: "Recommended to be consumed with the taste adjustment module."

Below the small text, a purchase link for the Taste Adjustment Module was also thoughtfully added.

Sun Jack's Nervous System was externally connected, so he naturally couldn't adjust his taste.

"Are you raising pigs? Even pigs wouldn't eat this." An indignant Sun Jack threw the Nutrient Paste away and used his Nervous System to order three bowls of noodles again.

"You're too extravagant," Taipai said from the side.

Sun Jack was so angry he laughed at the words, "I'm extravagant just for eating three bowls of noodles? Why is my extravagance so pathetic?"

"This world is like this, you must adapt to it as quickly as possible."

"But this broken place is clearly wrong, why should I adapt? I don't care, I want to eat!"

Sun Jack picked up the beef noodles delivered by the Drone, gritted his teeth, and ate them in big mouthfuls in front of the neon world.

The next morning, Sun Jack woke up, looked at his remaining balance, and thought about how to increase his strength.

Soon, drones carrying supplies flew in and out of the window. Besides buying himself more bulletproof vests, Sun Jack also bought some bullets and Grenades for Taipai's rifle.

He also remembered to replenish the Painkiller Stimulant he had used before. When he fought that fatty, Sun Jack found it quite useful.

Finally, Sun Jack didn't forget to buy himself Medical Insurance. Although he could only afford the cheapest one, it at least guaranteed he wouldn't die.

With all these purchases, the loan money and Sun Jack's savings were completely depleted.

However, since he had already taken out a loan, it was useless to try to save money. He had to earn desperately and spend desperately; now he had to use every means to earn more.

"Click." Sun Jack cocked his familiar gun and said to Taipai, "Are you ready? Let's go."

Riding Taipai as if riding an electric scooter, Sun Jack went out. He had bought many things, but the only thing he forgot to buy was a raincoat.

After riding for two hours, he arrived at the so-called wealthy district, Banshan A22, his face almost blown askew by the rain.

Shivering and cold, Sun Jack jumped off Taipai and rubbed his stiff face vigorously.

He was very fortunate that the time to act was 11:30 AM, because after 12 o'clock, he wouldn't have money to buy food.

"Where are they? Did I arrive early?" Sun Jack stood in the drizzle, looking around the sparsely populated intersection.

This place was called a wealthy district, but strictly speaking, it was only the outskirts. Apart from some vehicles moving through the rain and fog, he saw nothing else.

"Hey! Cute butt boy!"

Sun Jack turned his head and saw that the window of an SUV next to him had rolled down. The person greeting him was the highly recognizable Si Ai Nv, who was chewing gum at the moment.

After the Subtitles translation by his Nervous System, Sun Jack noticed that the side of the car was printed with the logo of a Cleaning Company. It was clear that these people intended to infiltrate the villa area in this manner.

As soon as Sun Jack got into the car, Si Ai Nv drove the Car towards the heavily guarded Security Checkpoint.

Sun Jack, sitting in the back seat, noticed that the others' equipment was clearly no less than what he had prepared. The most conspicuous was the Priest's Six-Eyed Square Shotgun, which he held in his hands like a giant hammer. Dense Data Cables were inserted from his body into the Priest's thick forearm.

Quickly scanning the surroundings, Sun realized the number of people was wrong. "Where's Song 6PUS?"

As soon as he asked, Song 6's voice immediately sounded in the team channel. "Don't worry, I'm here. I'm always online, and my heart is always with you all."

"Fuck Me, you're not coming? You want us to do the dirty work?" Sun Jack realized the name was indeed fitting; this guy was truly an Old 6.

Song 6 immediately retorted online. "You guys are the workers, and I'm the broker who gets the jobs. My Combat Prosthetic is already installed on you. What use would I be if I came? Am I supposed to go on a Live Stream? Hahaha, wouldn't that directly tell people it was us who stole it? Hahaha."
