"Heh, that was quite a swift change of attitude,"
Spotting the FFP logo on the other's chest, Sun Jack immediately knew their identity.
Nevertheless, Sun Jack didn't call out their ruse. In the current situation, no matter who people were in the past, as long as they were willing to help him, they were allies.
After uploading the data to the Digital Personality for verification, Sun Jack turned to Li Zongxian and said, "Alright, count you in. But you don't have a single piece of combat prosthetics on you, you won't be much help. So, just try to rally more people to join us."
"No problem!" Hearing this, Li Zongxian was overjoyed, quickly contacting everyone in his address book, including his former boss.
"Friends! Sun Jack is here! Let's overthrow the capital together! Sun Jack is here! No need to pay back your mortgage! Sun Jack is here! No need to pay off your high-interest loans and credit cards! Sun Jack is here! Food expenses are cut by 90%!!"
Nobody cared about the empty promises, but when it came to their own interests, not just the ones struggling to survive, but even those lower-tier company grunts living miserably were stirred, especially when Old Six broadcasted, comparing the communal wartime life of Metropolis and Himalayas.
Just as they were wavering, the Wild Men lurking in the depths, along with all the Clone Sun Jacks, acted simultaneously, starting to rally people together.
Compared to their earlier solo efforts, the effect of this coordinated effort was excellent. Nobody wants to stay in the dark because they haven't seen the light.
With the wise taking the opportunity, FFP within the city had to face not only the external pressure from the Himalayas but also the internal pressure from the lower levels. What's worse, FFP also faced the emergence of various awakened Sun Jacks within their ranks. Amid flames and explosions, the scales of victory began to tip.
Upon perceiving this shift in the scales, the silent majority immediately started to shift sides, helping Sun Jack, even if it wasn't overt aid, they'd secretly leak internal intelligence of various FFP subsidiaries.
And looking at the teeming crowd below the buildings, X standing on the top floor was stupefied. In a fit of rage, he hurled his glass into the wall and dialed Sun Jack's number.
"Are you freaking kidding me? I go there and you come here, is that it? Couldn't you have picked another city?"
"No, let me tell you a secret, I specifically chose the place you're at," Sun Jack's voice carried a hint of mockery.
"What the hell, are you sick in the head? How the hell did I offend you? From the first day I met you, you've been screwing me over! My freaking city has been taken by you, and you're still screwing me over! What, are you in love with me or something?"
"Don't talk like that, my friend. Why do you think I didn't kill you? Isn't it because I considered you a friend? Now the time has come to use you, X. Are you in, or not?"
"Dammit..." X swallowed back the curse that was on his lips and spat out a number with the fiercest expression. "55! I want a 55% share of the Golden Stock for the whole city!"
"No way, 91."
"64!"
"91."
"73!"
"I said 91. If you don't agree, I'll find someone else. I believe you're not the only one willing to help."
"You're ruthless! Fine, deal! 91 it is!"
X hung up the phone furiously and immediately contacted all the employees of his conglomerate. "All corporate combat units, mobilize! Give Sun Jack your full support in seizing control of this city!"
At first, it was the Clone Sun Jack, then the lurking Wild Men and the rebel Revolutionary Army, and finally X, the largest capitalist force. As the stakes were raised layer by layer, the city's defenses finally began to falter, and the situation turned extremely critical.
In such circumstances, the battles were also incredibly fierce, and there wasn't a single district in the city that was serene.
In the Central Business District, Sun Jack forcefully wiped the blood from his face and pointed at the towering buildings far away, "Charge!! Kill the London Mayor!"
All the combat units behind him swarmed toward the last stronghold.
Sun Jack was about to lead the charge but was stopped by Old Six beside him, "Bro! Bro! Come over and give a hand! 'Rebirth of Sun Jieke' has started filming, help me shoot some war scenes!!"
"Are you crazy? Are we really shooting? Can you even direct? You're going to shoot it?"
"I don't know how, but I found a really skilled director; his last film was a global sensation!" Old Six said confidently, revealing a mouthful of golden teeth as he gestured behind him.
Following his gesture, Sun Jack saw Guan Sanke standing there, awkwardly picking at his cheek with his forefinger, pretending to admire the scenery.
Tapai, unable to contain himself at the sight, burst into laughter, clutching his stomach.
"Dammit!" Seeing Sun Jack charging at him furiously, Guan Sanke hastily retreated a few steps, waving his hands frantically.
"Wait wait wait! I'm not the real Guan Sanke! You already killed the original, I'm a clone of Guan Sanke, remember? I was also cloned by the Holy Grail to sell merchandise."
Old Six quickly intervened to stop Sun Jack, "Bro! Bro! Don't rush, why do you think Guan San made a live-action show to promote DNA enhancement technology? Because this method is effective, right? If it's effective, then why shouldn't we use it too? If we use it, it's our D!"
"Others have already begun their propaganda war; we can't fall behind."
Sun Jack gave Guan Sanke two punches, leaving him clutching his stomach and rolling his eyes, "Then why does it have to be this thing? It pisses me off just looking at it! You can't find a director from the Himalayas with so many people?"
Seeing the other party's impatience flaring up again, Old Six spoke earnestly, "Bro~ you just don't get it, do you? You have no idea about your IP value. Think about it, the last 'Revolution Sun Jack' was so popular."
"Our 'Rebirth of Sun Jieke' can ride on the popularity of the last one; we can shoot it as if it were a sequel to 'Revolution Sun Jack.' I'm telling you, with the popularity of the last series, this one will definitely bring in its own audience and talking points! This saves so much more than starting a new IP."
Tapai, giving a thumbs-up, said, "See, this is professionalism. ◝(ﾟ∀ﾟ)◟"
"Buzz off! Don't you have online assistance to offer?" Sun Jack asked Tapai impatiently.
"What assistance? The network mainframes have been moved."
Sun Jack glanced at Old Six and ultimately didn't voice his refusal, turning to charge toward the fortress ahead.
Old Six, seeing this, gestured to Guan Sanke in haste, "Quick, quick, quick! Director, keep up!"
Guan Sanke hurriedly followed behind Sun Jack. "Lights! Assistant director! Catch up! 'Rebirth: I am Sun Jieke' is officially shooting! ACTION!"
