Chapter 384: Contact

"Sun Jack slept with Hilda?!" Xiao Ting's brain exploded in an instant as she saw the content displayed on her system desktop.

With memories of the past trickling back, a surge of humiliation and a powerful hatred instantly filled her heart.

But she forcibly suppressed these emotions, "What evidence do you have? Just your word? Metropolis has used many people, one more doesn't matter!"

The next second, a file was sent over. As Hilda opened it, she found it to be a firmware upgrade for her Artificial Eye.

"If you don't believe it, you can scan this and see what's tattooed on his upper body's Bionic Skin."

At this, Xiao Ting could no longer contain her urgency and immediately headed to Sun Jack's office.

Making up an excuse, Xiao Ting saw Sun Jack again and when she actually saw Hilda's tattoo right before her eyes, her heart completely broke down, realizing that Sun Jack really had been with Hilda!

In order to prevent Sun Jack from noticing, Xiao Ting lowered her head, holding back her anger as she walked out, "Sun Jack...Sun Jack!!" If before it had been mere conflict, this time it was something extraordinary.

"You want to use me to go against Sun Jack? Speak! What do you want me to do?" Xiao Ting asked through clenched teeth, questioning the person behind the unknown IP.

"I will send you a hidden Trojan. Try to embed it inside the Clone Personality Overlap Technology. You don't need to worry about the rest; I'll handle it."

"After completing the task, I will help you open the Micro Nuclear Bomb and your system's tracking program, I'll even give you a reward of 800W Dog B."

"Deal!" As Xiao Ting nodded vigorously, a popup window appeared right in front of her, showing it was downloading.

"Be wary of that woman called Linda Linda, she works for Sun Jack and is responsible for monitoring you." After saying that, the voice disappeared.

"Fuck! That bitch!! There's nothing good in the third dimension!!" Xiao Ting grabbed a fruit from the table and threw it against the wall.

Looking at the Trojan icon on the system interface, Xiao Ting took a deep breath, calming the rage in her heart and opened the task manager to check the progress of various AIs' tasks.

Seeing that the progress was not smooth, she contacted the information security department directly through the company system, with a firm tone. "Increase the processing power by 200%!"

She didn't sleep anymore and took a stimulant straight away to speed up her research.

As an expert in the field, her progress was fast. In a few days, the consciousness of two monkeys could already overlap wirelessly.

Thus, she busied herself day and night; when she was tired, she drank stimulants, and when hungry, she ate nutrient paste, until she finally fell asleep.

When she didn't know what time she woke up, she found herself covered with a thin blanket, with two pieces of waffles dripping with maple syrup emanating an enticing aroma in front of her.

"Don't overwork yourself. Take breaks; the job is the boss's but the body is your own." Linda Linda brought a hot cup of milk to Xiao Ting.

Xiao Ting, looking at her face and remembering she was sent by Sun Jack to monitor her, suddenly felt nauseous. She wasn't planning to hide anything and said coldly, "Leave! I know your purpose in approaching me. Tell Sun Jack! I will complete the task! I hope he keeps his promise!"

Linda Linda was initially taken aback but then nodded, "Alright, I am monitoring you for Sun Jack, but the food isn't monitoring you, right? Hurry up and eat, don't starve. This breakfast is expensive out there; ordinary people would kill for this meal."

Xiao Ting didn't expect her to admit it so candidly and was at a loss for words even after Linda Linda left.

She didn't originally want to eat, but just then her stomach started rumbling, so with the mentality of 'why not eat if it's free?' she began gobbling down the food.

During the subsequent period, while Xiao Ting incessantly pushed forward with technological research, Linda Linda would appear beside her every now and then—not only to change her clothes but also to bring her stimulants for work, taking great care of her.

Having already seen through the other party's intentions and the free services offered, Xiao Ting naturally didn't refuse them and accepted all the services provided.

Since her experiments were all online, there was nothing she could uncover even if she wanted to.

Time gradually passed, and the wireless cloning consciousness transmission was nearing its end. Before she knew it, she had already been at Utopia Security for a month.

As expected, when the time came, Linda Linda once again opened the door. "It's the end of the month today, and the cafeteria has extra food. Shall we go eat together?"

"Not going!" Xiao Ting said with strong determination.

"Really not going? That's truly a pity. I had gotten some information about Hilda from Sun Jack and was planning to share it with you over dinner."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ting, who had been keeping a cold face, finally followed as if possessed by a ghost.

She had already seen through the other's tricks; keeping her hanging wouldn't yield anything.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, it was clearly much busier than usual with everyone looking forward to the extra meal with joy.

"Folks! Check this out! We have chicken legs today!" Old Six announced as he entered the cafeteria with his group of streamers.

"This is authentic deformed many-legged chicken from radiation! How about it? Isn't our company's food great? All you little bitches and beasts aspiring to be mercenaries, what are you still waiting for? Come report to the head of personnel, that's me!"

Linda Linda, pulling Xiao Ting along, eventually found a place to sit down.

Faced with the expensive organic food on her plate, Xiao Ting didn't even glance at it, instead looking at Linda Linda in front of her, waiting for her to start speaking.

"Sun Jack met Hilda while they were in the Rat Alliance Battle Line, and they got along quite well," Linda Linda started off with a piece of news to gauge her reaction.

"I heard she's a seven-meter-tall mermaid beauty, you probably didn't know that when you were online dating her, right?"

"Nonsense, of course I knew! If she wasn't a seven-meter-tall mermaid, I wouldn't have been interested at all!"

Hearing this, Linda Linda's eyes widened; among all the clients she had dealt with, these anime and game fans were the ones she could least understand—they were all such peculiar people.

"Alright then, moving on, Sun Jack said that although she's quite tall, her mental age isn't that high. She's actually a very gentle girl with a naive personality."

"Naive personality? It seems Sun Jack doesn't know Hilda as well as I do," Xiao Ting said, a hint of pride appearing on her face as if she had outsmarted Sun Jack.

"Her personality might be gentle, but do you really think a naive woman would contact me, a brainy fugitive?"
