Sun Jack ended the communication and looked at AA, who was holding a glass of water for him.

"What nonsense." Sun Jack shook his head, preparing to forget what Si Ai had just said.

But every time he saw AA's face, the previous conversation would involuntarily pop into his mind, like a Brain Worm, impossible to shake off. "Could it be that AA doesn't like men?"

Sun Jack knew that if this matter wasn't clarified, it would likely continue to bother him.

It was better to ask directly than to let it fester. It wasn't a big deal anyway.

"AA, can I ask you something? It's personal. If you don't want to answer, you don't have to."

"Sure, anything," AA quickly sat up straight.

Sun Jack rested his chin on his hand and thought for a long time, unable to figure out how to start. "Um... what kind of person do you like?"

"What?" AA tilted her head slightly in confusion, clearly not understanding Sun Jack's meaning.

"I mean, what gender do you like? Do you like men? Or women?"

Immediately after, Sun Jack saw AA shake her head vigorously. "No. I don't like either."

"Oh, really." Taipai, who was charging on the wall, quickly jumped over and sat obediently next to Sun Jack. "It's time to broaden my horizons!"

"Then what do you like?"

AA stood up and turned her loose T-shirt, showing her petite body to Sun Jack. "Jack, look, isn't it especially nice to hug a cute girl like me? She's soft and smells good."

"Ah?" Sun Jack's mind went blank at the stunning sight before him. "And then?"

"Then I like that too."

Sun Jack was a bit confused. "What do you mean you like that too? Didn't you say you don't like women?"

"It's just..." AA didn't know how to explain for a moment. She looked around, ran into the bedroom, and took out a mirror.

Then, she looked at herself in the mirror with deep affection and kissed it gently with love.

Sun Jack's jaw dislocated. Taipai had to fiddle with it for a long time before it went back in. However, anyone who experienced what he did would have their jaw dislocate from shock.

Sun Jack could understand that AA didn't like men. After all, in the Metropolis, homosexuality was normal.

Sun Jack could also understand that AA didn't like women. It was possible she wasn't interested in romance and focused on making money. But he never expected that AA's Sexual Preference was Narcissism!

Detailed information retrieved by the system appeared before Sun Jack. Narcissism is a narcissistic personality disorder where individuals are sexually attracted to themselves and only to themselves, using themselves or their reflections as objects of sexual gratification.

Individuals with narcissistic personality disorder generally have no sexual interest in the opposite sex. They may have some sexual interest in the same sex, but only if the person is similar to themselves. The more they resemble themselves in appearance, the more interested they become.

AA likes herself! The kind with sexual desire!!

Ever since Sun Jack met AA, he had always thought she was a really good girl, kind and understanding, the only other normal person besides the Priest. However, he never expected that in other aspects, she would be even more innovative than Si Ai!

"As expected, I was too naive. In this Metropolis, no one can be underestimated."

Sun Jack decided then and there, he wouldn't pry into other people's private matters anymore.

"Is it that interesting? Jack, then tell me, what are that Black Ghost's sexual preferences? I'm getting impatient."

Sun Jack raised his prosthetic limb and smacked him, "Stop prying! Stop prying, understand!"

"Jack, what's wrong? Is it strange that I like myself?" AA asked cautiously, afraid her previous answer had upset him.

"No, it's not strange. I like myself too. I was just asking out of curiosity. It's so late, I'm going to sleep."

Although he didn't sustain any physical injuries from this mission, Sun Jack felt he had suffered immense psychological trauma.

"Oh, then you sleep. I'm leaving." AA, clutching her stomach wound, walked towards the door.

"It's so late, where are you going? Queen District isn't safe at night either. It'll be troublesome if you get captured and turned into a Human Mine. You can make do here tonight," Sun Jack said.

As for the matter of men and women avoiding suspicion, ever since he learned of AA's sexual preferences, such things were no longer within Sun Jack's scope of consideration.

"Thank you! Thank you so much! You're too kind to me." AA bowed gratefully to Sun Jack.

"Sleep, sleep." Exhausted both physically and mentally, Sun Jack quickly washed up and headed for the bedroom.

He had been out in the rain almost all day, and Sun Jack practically fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow.

He didn't know how long he slept before he was finally woken up by a full bladder.

As soon as he opened the door, he was startled by AA sleeping on the Sofa. It took him a moment to realize that he had a guest today.

After returning from the restroom, just as he was about to go back to sleep, a sound from the living room caught his attention.

"AA? Is that your stomach growling?"

AA, with her head covered by a thin blanket, sat up somewhat shyly.

"You're hungry, aren't you?" The more he said it, the hungrier Sun Jack became.

Besides the bowl of Beef Noodles he had that morning, he hadn't eaten anything all day.

Before, he had been focused on completing the Commission, his mind highly tense, and he hadn't noticed. Now, as he relaxed in the evening, he felt his stomach growling.

"I'll order two bowls of noodles."

"No, no, no, that's too extravagant. I can't always eat your food for free. I'd feel uneasy."

It was just a bowl of noodles. Sun Jack could afford to treat someone to a bowl of noodles, but AA was resolute, so Sun Jack had to drop the matter.

"Right, I think I still have some food in the fridge."

Sun Jack pulled out the leftovers from Kejia Cuisine he had packed the night before last from the fridge. After a simple reheat, he placed them on the coffee table.

Kejia Cuisine was already disgusting, and reheating it again, with all sorts of messy dishes piled together, made Sun Jack unable to look.

However, AA had no such psychological burden. She picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a tentacle, and stuffed it into her mouth. Her eyes immediately lit up. "Wow! What is this?! It's so delicious!!"

Watching AA eat bite after bite, Sun Jack's stomach growled even more.

But soon, Sun Jack thought of a solution. He directly had the system mosaic the Kejia Cuisine and replaced it with various gourmet food pictures found online. This made the food taste much better. Indeed, technology changed life.

"Jack, did I do a good job today?" AA asked.

"Very good. I only asked you to be bait, and I didn't expect you to specifically buy a tracking ball."

AA lowered her head a little sheepishly. "I didn't buy that. I made it myself. I sometimes go to the Garbage Mountain outside the Metropolis to find useful things."

"You have this skill too? Amazing." Sun Jack looked at the little girl with new respect. He felt like he had truly gotten to know AA today.
