Chapter 358 Recovery

"Tapai! Tapai? Wake up," Sun Jack nervously watched Tapai lying on the operating table.

This was Utopia Security's new medical room, and as Utopia Security's high-rise slowly rose on Shendong Street, the company's various facilities also began to become more complete, far from the makeshift arrangements of the past.

All the others had come too, forming a semicircle behind Tapai, watching him on the operating table.

When Tapai turned his camera towards Sun Jack, Sun Jack immediately became tense.

Even though the intelligence chip had been found, he did not know what effect it would have on Tapai.

After all, the model of Tapai that the chip belonged to seemed a bit different from this guy.

"Do you know who I am?" Sun Jack asked again.

"You're Sun Jack," Tapai spoke up.

Hearing a response that was a bit better than before, Sun Jack was still not reassured and, after thinking for a moment, asked again, "Come on, tell me a joke."

"A joke? That's not my strong suit, I only tell Hell jokes."

"Just tell any one," Sun Jack said.

"Alright, then listen up, do you know what gets looser the more you use it?" Tapai said, leaning back slightly after speaking.

As Linda Linda glanced down at her miniskirt, Old Six, who was smoking, asked in astonishment, "A mold of Sun Jack's rectum?"

Tapai shook his head at him. "Wrong, it's censorship."

Upon hearing this, Sun Jack immediately burst into laughter, not just because of Tapai's Hell joke, but also because the joke proved that the other's intelligence level had been reset! An N2 level Tapai would never make such a joke.

At that moment, Tapai grasped his hands, looked down at his own body, retrieved some fragmented memories, and suddenly asked, "What the hell is going on—"

Before he could finish, as anger flared, Sun Jack flew up into the air and crashed down with a kick to Tapai's chest.

With a clang, Tapai's body, weighing several hundred pounds, was kicked several meters away. "To hell with you!! Did I ask for you to take the initiative? Did I fucking ask you to save me? You really think I couldn't handle Section 3?!"

"Damn, put on the pants and suddenly acting tough, do you even know what Section 3's background is? Pissing them off is just—" As Tapai retorted with great vigor, Sun Jack walked over and hugged him tightly, silencing the room.

Old Six, still angry, whistled towards the door, and everyone else started walking out at the same time.

The two AAs walked out while squeezing each other's eyes and whispering, "See, I knew it..."

A few seconds later, Sun Jack, with reddened eyes, released Tapai and patted his solid arm with a complex expression.

"Don't ever do that again, ok? You've saved my life on our journey, and we've been through life and death together, now you're more than just a machine to me!"

Tapai looked at Sun Jack's face for a long time and eventually spoke slowly, "You freak, you won't even let a robot off."

"To hell with it!" Sun Jack laughed and punched Tapai in the chest. He didn't need to say anything more; with his understanding of Tapai, the guy already knew what he wanted to express.

"How did you upgrade my intelligence level? Did you mess with Section 3 again?" Tapai's voice came through the system, reaching Sun Jack's ears.

"No, I made a trip to the Holy Grail during the break from the reality show," Sun Jack replied.

Sun Jack pulled Tapai down to let him self-check his own body and equipment conditions and slowly summarized everything that had happened before.

"You're taking too much risk, Jack. It's not much better than provoking Class 3. If Guan Sanke finds out, it's going to be trouble."

"There's no need to be so afraid of him anymore. What can he do if he knows? I have already purchased three production lines at the factory and am producing clones day and night."

"I'm no longer the puppet he used to toy with at will, and he is no immortal god. He is human too, with enemies and troubles of his own." Sun Jack casually opened Tapai's breastplate and took out all the hand grenades inside.

"Clones are useless. Have you forgotten how we failed before? He planted a backdoor in your DNA; just with a thought, he could paralyze all the muscles in your clones."

"Well, that's not necessarily true."

Tapai looked at Sun Jack's face for a few seconds before saying, "Fine, no matter what, I'll help you."

Sun Jack smiled when the other party said this. "That's all I need to hear. But don't ever sacrifice yourself to help me again in the future."

"Okay, you're the boss, whatever command you issue, I'll definitely follow."

After sorting out Tapai's trouble, Sun Jack finally got rid of his heart disease.

Although there was no immediate crisis, he did not sit idly by. He began to integrate the forces at hand and started preparing for a face-off with Guan Sanke.

The play couldn't go on any longer. The more it played, the more money Guan Sanke made, and the less likely it was for him to be defeated.

Sun Jack got back in touch with Digital Personality. "How are things on your end? Does the company's network security still need more hardware upgrades? If Guan Sanke makes a move on the network level, how long can you hold out?"

"Not for long. What I need now is not hardware, but the technology of the Holy Grail. Go talk to the Sun Jack that Azi took away, and see if you can get the network technology of the Holy Grail Person from him."

"Why should I talk to him?"

"Because according to my calculations, his emotions are probably highly unstable right now, and you were the one who gave the order to send him up there."

"Ah, fine then."

Sun Jack went to the company's entrance, lit two cigarettes with a click, took a deep drag, and directly got in touch with the past. "How are things on your end?"

"How is Tapai?" The other party asked about Tapai first, seemingly not too emotionally unstable.

"It's all fine now, everything's normal."

"Ha, that's good. I'm afraid I won't be able to see him again in this lifetime. Beat him up for me."

"I did. How are things with Azi?"

"How could it be? I stripped naked and played house with her. Her corpse is lying in my arms right now."

"Digital Personality wants you to help her obtain more of Holy Grail's hacking skills. She loves you so much, maybe you can find a way through Azi."

"Her? This lunatic? So, you sent me up here to live off a lunatic? Do you know how disgusting she is?"

"I know, but right now, you're the only one there from the Holy Grail. You're really crucial on this end."

After a while, a sigh came from the communication on Sun Jack's end. "Fine, I'll do my best to fulfill my mission. I just hope that one day you can overthrow the Holy Grail and rescue me from this woman's bed."

"Don't worry, there'll be such a day, definitely!"

Just as Sun Jack finished speaking, he looked outside through the rain curtain at the familiar, broad silhouette—that was the Priest.
