Faulty Utopia

Modified metal prosthetics, an AI girlfriend, neural networks inside the brain, Cyber Space—this was a world with ultra-high technology, where various kinds of technology could change your life like magic. Although past terminal illnesses such as cancer were nothing in the face of nanomedicine robots, the new level of technology also gave rise to a variety of new problems, new troubles, and new... cases of cyberpsychosis. "What is capitalism?" Sun Jack asked, hands on his hips, leaning back...

Chapter 419 Transformation

Hearing that the so-called Awakened AI suddenly wanted to ask its own question in exchange, Sun Jack was somewhat surprised.

However, Sun Jack readily agreed. After all, he had always been open and honest in his dealings, never hiding anything, and he wasn't afraid of this fellow knowing.

"Fine, ask."

"You are called Sun Jack? Your name is quite special, so what is your identity?"

"Chairman of Utopia Security, the largest shareholder of Gaofeng Technology, Weike Medical, and Sharp Flash Technology, and the male protagonist in "Revolution Sun Jack," Sun Jack responded truthfully.

To this, UO seemed somewhat dissatisfied. "Don't try to fool me, with just these identities, you don't have the authority to be detained here."

Seeing UO question him, Sun Jack continued, "Hurry up, I haven't finished talking yet. I've been detained here because, during the popular airing of "Revolution Sun Jack," I took advantage of the high viewership to accomplish a major feat." After that, Sun Jack briefly recounted the previous events to the other party.

"Impressive, you took DNA coding technology, virtually a cost-free technique, and opened it up globally through the media, quickly narrowing the power disparity between the lower classes and the capital. Then you led a successful act of defiance. I believe things must be very chaotic outside now." As a digital life, UO somehow managed to make a clapping sound.

"I take back what I said earlier, you indeed qualify to be detained here."

Not touched at all by whatever this entity's praise was, Sun Jack retorted, "Less nonsense, I've now answered your question; it's your turn to answer mine. What does this FFP company do?"

"They do everything, but their main operations involve supporting AI. It's a global conglomerate with subsidiaries almost all over the world; from what I gather, they're one of the biggest capital giants on Earth."

"With what you did, you certainly have a significant impact on their business, causing considerable losses; so it's entirely normal that they captured you," UO admitted truthfully.

What Sun Jack hadn't expected was that his captors were neither from the DNA reform faction nor the Mechanical Conservative Faction, but a mysterious FFP from somewhere.

Thinking about it, his ways of shaking up the table always hit the biggest capitals the hardest.

"Something's off. If I caused massive damage to their assets, why didn't they kill me but rather removed my brain and imprisoned me here?"

Sun Jack began to shift his thinking, trying to see things from the opponent's perspective, wondering what he would do if he were FFP management facing the current situation.

As Sun Jack thought this way, his thoughts gradually became clearer.

"No, I can't kill Sun Jack. Since the situation has come to this, if I kill him now, with thousands and thousands of clones, the situation would not improve at all,"

"Moreover, if I killed Sun Jack, and somehow those lower-class slaves found out, he might actually become a martyr, a symbol of their spirit."

"I should… since I already have possession of Sun Jieke's Original Body, this is a card in my hands which I should utilize effectively to minimize my losses."

With Sun Jack's shifted perspective, he gradually understood the various parties' purposes in capturing him, but he still couldn't guess how they intended to utilize him as their card.

If they wanted to kidnap, to threaten his clones, then they were likely mistaken; the clones would not hesitate at all due to their threats.

Sunken in thought, Sun Jack couldn't help but look up at UO in front of him, "Tell me about this company in detail, as much detail about this company as possible."

UO swayed his odd body, "No, I've answered enough. According to our previous agreement, it's your turn to answer now."

Sun Jack sighed. "Ask then."

"Second question, how can you be sure that you are definitely a human?"

-----------------------------

On the 65th floor of United Fruit Plate, 2810 sat restlessly on a bench with others, anxiously waiting for something.

During this time, he pulled up his collar, trying to cover the cross tattoo of the gang on his neck.

As a member of the Satan Gang, he hadn't wanted to look for a job, but not long ago, his boss had been summoned by the BCPD for a talk.

A strict order came from above, forbidding the existence of any gang organizations in Metropolis and giving them a one-month grace period.

If the Satan Gang still existed by then, the next to come after them wouldn't be the BCPD, but the peacekeeping forces of the Metropolitan Federation.

Originally, the BCPD didn't care about him at all, but when they found out that Sun Jack had made the statement himself, the situation was completely different.

Sun Jack dared even to mess with the Holy Grail; no one dared ignore his words.

What the gang boss thought, 2810 didn't care, he only considered how he would survive without the Satan Gang.

When he saw the email he received today about the priority upgrade in his job application, he decided to give it a try as a last resort.

With a "ding," a message popped up directly on his system interface, "Please proceed to conference room 13."

2810 quickly got up, adjusted his mindset, and walked over there.

Just as he sat down nervously, a holographic projection popped up in front of him, and he was subjected to a series of questions with a stern face.

A few minutes later, when 2810 walked out of the conference room and saw the job acceptance displayed on his system interface, he felt like he was living in a dream. Could it really be that simple? He had a job now?

The other party hadn't conducted an obedience test on him? They also hadn't asked how much of the company's supplements he was willing to receive?

As he walked out the company's main gate and the acid rain fell again, he started dancing with excitement.

"Boss! I found a job! I really got a job," 2810 happily notified his companions of the good news.

"Come quick! I'm not kidding! Gang members really do get priority in hiring now!"

In his excitement, he fired several shots into the sky.

However, quickly a BCPD drone, flashing blue lights, swiftly flew to his face and started scanning, "Mr. 2810, please explain the reason for your shooting 19 seconds ago."

"Uh...I just got a job. I was celebrating," 2810 said.

"Congratulations on joining United Fruit. We wish you a pleasant work experience, but Metropolis prohibits shooting in the city area. Please be mindful next time, or you could lose your weapon carrying rights," the drone said as it flew away while flashing blue lights; a holographic projection appeared under the drone.

"Great news! Great news! BCPD no longer charges for phone consultations, and we solemnly promise to arrive within 3 minutes! And now we absolutely do not charge any form of fees for refreshments!"
