Linda Linda turned to Xiaoying, her silky hair falling from her face,
"Sakura, come help me. I understand your ability. Moreover, Borrow King is gradually taking control of the entire Metropolis and is in dire need of people. If I don't want to be undermined by those below, I need to establish my own team."
Feeling the sticky Xiaoying disassembling the prosthetic body beneath her, she threw it against the wall with disgust, "You're putting it like that, how can I refuse? Without staying by your side, I'm really afraid that your nice personality will be bullied by others."
"But let me make it clear first, I won't sign any contract. I can leave whenever I want."
"Sure, it's all up to you," Linda Linda said as she took a puff of her e-cigarette and sauntered over to her.
"Since you're listening to me, next time I'll top, you bottom. Remember to wear that black silk combat suit of yours."
"No problem, I've sent you the list of skills chips you need to learn, along with some auxiliary software. Once your nervous system is fully integrated, you can intern at the company. Come on, I'll take you to the cafeteria to see Borrow King Company's employee benefits."
The two arrived at the cafeteria, and Xiaoying was instantly stunned by its scale. With the rapid decrease in food prices, Utopia Security's cafeteria was shifting from filling food to fine dining, especially when she saw that the fruit next to her was self-serve and unlimited.
The long-unseen pair chatted happily, and as their relationship eased, they found they had endless topics to talk about.
"Haven't you heard any gossip about Borrow King working at his company?"
"Of course I have. I heard Borrow King's ex-girlfriend was 7 meters tall!"
"Seriously? That's explosive! What else? What else?"
"Just the other day, someone seduced Borrow King in his sleep."
"Who? Who?"
"I'm not one to talk behind people's backs, so I won't tell you the name."
"You didn't seize that chance?"
"After that woman left, I also went over and just sat a few times, pranking him a bit."
"Hey! What did you sit on, did you spank him?"
"I couldn't do that; he's still my boss, there's a limit to joking around."
Just as the two were getting heated in their conversation, Old Six walked by with his tray, looking distressed as he talked with Abu on the system interface.
"Bro~ My streamers are all used to freedom D~ integrating them all into one organization for unified management might not sit well with them. Since other companies' public security departments have already been integrated, why can't you leave the streamers alone?"
"If they're unwilling, we'll simply cut their traffic. Anyone who streams on our platform must follow our rules," Abu responded firmly.
This instantly infuriated Old Six. "What are you saying? Bitch! Who do you think you are? Do you really think you run the Metropolis?"
Abu crossed his arms, his fuzzy face cold. "Do you really think we're safe just because the FFP troops have withdrawn? That we can live like Holy Grail People now? Wake up from your dream!"
"Their plan didn't succeed this time. Once they've completely cleared their own mess, they'll bring even more people against us!"
"Now is not the time to enjoy and be happy! We must rally all the forces of the Metropolis to face the upcoming challenges."
"Fuck you!!! You talk like you're so loyal. When FFP attacked, you were the first one who wanted to run!!"
"I was planning to run, so what? As long as I don't flee, as long as I'm in this position for even a day, I will do my utmost to fulfill my responsibilities!"
Old Six couldn't stand the opponent's encroachment on his power and stormed towards Sun Jack's office. As he reached the door, he saw Sun Jack sitting there, engaged in a network communication.
Facing Old Six, who was buzzing around like a fly by his ear, Sun Jack really wanted to strangle him.
"Enough! Shut up! Lives are at fucking stake! And you still have time to fight over power and profits!?"
Startled by Sun Jack's raised voice, Old Six stammered, "Didn't we win? Could what Abu said really be true, bro?"
"Nonsense, of course it's true!" Sun Jack had never harbored any illusions about the FFP's attitude. If he didn't want to be encircled by them again, he had to find a way to resolve the trouble FFP was causing.
Trying to suppress his anger, Sun Jack said to Old Six, "I'm currently on the network to see if I can get in touch with FFP's competitors, so could you please not bother me right now? For trivial matters, can you go bother my clone instead?"
Hearing Sun Jack say this, Old Six who was standing on the office desk immediately perched himself on the office, "So, have you made contact?"
"If I had really made contact, would I be so pissed off?" Sun Jack rolled his eyes at him. "Since you're here, it's for the best. This is the development plan we settled on last night, send it all out."
Opening the materials received from the neural system, Old Six saw the document titled , his eyes widened in shock.
After reading it carefully, Old Six suddenly gasped, "Bro, are you planning to form a military unit?"
"Of course, however you put it, the next time someone strikes us, we won't be without any cards in our hands, will we?" replied Sun Jack.
He had to consolidate Metropolis's resources and couldn't just sit waiting to be attacked.
"OK, you're the boss, your call," said Old Six, turning to leave.
Sun Jack closed his eyes, trying to calm his tense nerves.
Clearly, what he had thought of, FFP had also considered. This loophole had been directly blocked. It seemed that the competitors of FFP could not be won over, and he could only seek help from other forces.
Sun Jack understood that relying on Metropolis alone was insufficient to confront the entire FFP, an international monopolistic giant capable of driving technological reform. Even including several nearby Satellite Cities would be far from enough.
If he wanted to keep the fiercely contested Metropolis, he must find another way.
"How are things on the network?" Sun Jack contacted Tapai, "The new digital Sun Jack you uploaded today has come online and is functioning well. Metropolis's network is now under our surveillance."
"If FFP attacks again, can you confront them at the network level?" Sun Jack asked again.
"Defending ourselves is feasible, but remote attacks might not be very successful, given that FFP can handle the Kang Tao Virus and Awakened AI independently."
Hearing this, Sun Jack was instantly plagued by a severe headache. Although the fake Sun Jack had managed a solution, the situation was still grave.
If he didn't want Metropolis to be left isolated and unsupported, he had to find a way to break through the impasse.
But his current situation was more difficult than anything he had encountered before, because this was not just a personal issue anymore, but concerned an entire city.
As he pondered, Sun Jack suddenly sensed someone in front of him.
When he looked up, he found, to his surprise, it was Poet.
