Helper

Hearing Song 6PUS say that, Sun Jack felt there was nothing to hesitate about. He was already a mercenary, so what was there to fear about danger?

"I'll take this job."

Seeing Sun Jack speak up, the others also agreed one after another. Clearly, even though Sun Jack said he couldn't control the ability for now, the others still felt that having him around was a form of insurance.

Some people even agreed to join the team again because they valued Sun Jack's abilities.

"OK! All set! Then we'll go back today, rest well, get our weapons ready, and tomorrow night, we'll make our move." Song 6PUS picked up his chopsticks and started eating heartily.

Halfway through his meal, he mumbled to himself, "Right, I also need to find a bait. System, help me set a reminder."

Sun Jack, who was picking through the dishes nearby, trying to find something edible, felt a slight stir in his heart upon hearing this. "Find bait? What kind of bait are you looking for?"

"Find one based on the victim's characteristics. Young, female, without obvious cybernetics," Song 6 said, sending all the dead heads to Sun Jack's UI Interface.

"Then if you find someone to be bait, such a dangerous job, you should give her some compensation, right?"

"Of course, isn't that obvious? In the Metropolis, who would do anything without money? Oh right, this money is for operational expenses, we'll all share it."

Sun Jack pondered for a moment, then said, "This bait, let me see if I can help you find someone."

"Okay, you finding one is fine too." On this small matter, Song 6PUS didn't feel the need to go against Sun Jack. The other party taking this job was no different from himself, getting a little kickback.

After returning home, Sun Jack stuffed a pile of packed food into the empty refrigerator. Although it wasn't pretty, it was food. Eating out was so expensive, he couldn't bear to waste it.

Sun Jack sat on the sofa and began using the system to search for someone named AA. Knowing her appearance and name, it wasn't difficult to find someone with a networked system.

"Who is it?" AA asked cautiously on the video call, her face haggard.

But when she saw it was Sun Jack, a smile immediately appeared on her face. "Ah! It's you! Your name is Jack? Hello!"

"AA, have you found a job?" Sun Jack asked her.

The smile on the girl's face froze, and then she gently shook her head. "No."

However, she smiled again, "But I've learned from the homeless and found some mushrooms in the sewers to fill my stomach! Are you hungry? I can give you some."

Hearing this, Sun Jack felt a pang of sadness for the girl. "I've found a job for you, do you want it?"

Being bait wasn't a good job, but no matter how bad it was, there was still money to be made, right?

Sun Jack knew AA was in debt, and he knew the consequences of being in debt. If he didn't find her a job soon, she might not be able to hold on.

Hearing this, tears immediately streamed down AA's face. "Really? I can really work? Thank you so much!"

"Listen to me first. This job has a certain degree of danger, but the reward is very generous." Although he really wanted to help this girl, Sun Jack still felt that everything needed to be made clear.

"It's fine! As long as it's a job, I can do anything!" AA nodded vigorously, as if afraid of losing this hard-won job.

"Then it's settled. Add me as a friend, I've authorized you. Come to my apartment tomorrow, and I'll explain everything. Remember not to wear that suit from that day, just wear casual clothes." Sun Jack sent his apartment address.

After the video call ended, Taipai spoke. "So that's your plan. You want to help that girl? There are so many unfortunate people in this Metropolis, can you help them all?"

Sun Jack leaned back on the sofa, looking at the ceiling and letting out a comfortable sigh. "I'll help one if I can. I saw it, I can't pretend it doesn't exist."

"Then why don't you just give her the mission reward directly?"

"Damn it!" Sun Jack picked up a cushion and threw it at Taipai. "I just want to help out, I'm not trying to become a saint!"

Sun Jack sat on the sofa and thought for a moment. He directly opened the system's purchase interface and bought himself some insurance. Tomorrow might be another tough battle.

After buying the insurance, he also needed to replenish the ammunition for his prosthetic limb.

"What do you want? Do you need to replace your armor?" Sun Jack asked Taipai.

"Rockets, RPGs."

"Get lost, I can't afford that."

"You poor B, then get some grenades."

What happened before made Sun Jack understand that sharpening the axe does not delay the chopping of wood.

Sun Jack thought for a long time, and finally clicked on the combat prosthetic purchase interface.

"Backup heart... subdermal armor... titanium alloy skeleton..." Various dazzling combat prosthetics were displayed before Sun Jack, but he couldn't afford any of them.

"Aren't there any cheaper ones?" Sun Jack found that the prices in this Metropolis were very distorted.

Food and combat prosthetics were incredibly expensive, while cars and digital products were surprisingly cheap.

If he really became a customer service representative, with a weekly income of 0.15@, he probably wouldn't even have enough to buy food.

"Forget it, I'll go ask Vajra." Although they were second-hand goods, at least he could afford them.

"Hello, Vajra, do you have any combat prosthetic limbs around 10@?" This job could earn him 20@. Spending half the money on a combat prosthetic to increase the success rate of the commission seemed reasonable to Sun Jack.

As soon as he heard about business, Vajra, in the holographic projection, became energetic. "Oh? Benefactor Sun wants what kind of combat prosthetic? I'll give you a 20% discount!" He said, sending over his online store link.

Looking at the goods Vajra sent, they were clearly at least 60% cheaper than the official online store. Sun Jack felt he had found the right person.

"But what should I change?" Sun Jack looked at the combat prosthetics before him and began to browse.

Since he was going to deal with Cyberpsychosis next, he naturally needed to use the right medicine for the illness.

After much deliberation, Sun Jack set his sights on a cybernetic eye called HPMW Interference Type 2. This cybernetic eye could, once per minute, establish a narrow-band microwave electromagnetic radiation through rapid coupling, which had a miraculous effect on electronic components.

Besides the interference function, this Cybernetic Eye also has a Night Vision function. That's like getting one for free.

Sun Jack chose this item because of the Baldy he encountered before. However, this thing could only output to a single target, unlike the Baldy's EMP which could short-circuit everything within a group range.

Of course, this was both a disadvantage and an advantage. At least this way, Taipai could fight alongside him without fear of friendly fire.

After haggling with Vajra again, he finally agreed to include a free installation service.

One hour later, Vajra, with a big smile on his face, arrived at Sun Jack's apartment door.

He was followed by his Cyber Buddha, who had a large bag on his back.
