Chapter 369 Tracking

Listening to Xiao Ting's explanation, Sun Jack appeared calm, sitting in his chair as if he were deep in thought; however, his heart was shaking like stormy waves at that moment.

Still, he forcibly maintained his composure, leaned back, and said disdainfully, "Psh, what's the big deal? I thought it was something serious. If it's so useful, how come I haven't seen anyone in Metropolis use this technology?"

Xiao Ting's anime-like head suddenly puffed up in anger. "Haven't I told you? Others can't use this technology! Apart from you, I have hardly seen any clones who don't end up killing each other over who is the original!"

"That's because you haven't seen enough. I've seen clones become one harmonious big family because of love," Sun Jack lit up two cigarettes and started smoking them directly,

"Love?" Xiao Ting seemed to take his words as a punch to her brain.

She shook her head sharply, stood up abruptly, and slammed her hands on the table, "Stop talking about irrelevant things! Just tell me whether you want this technology or not! With this technology, as long as the clone agrees, you can merge with any of your clone's personalities and thoughts at any time."

Sun Jack, of course, knew how important this technology was to him. This was exactly what he needed now.

Once he could master this technology, it meant that he and his clones weren't separate entities anymore, but a unified whole that could split and merge at will.

Although he had many clones, he had always been worried about what if some of them were not firm in their wills, what if some clones escaped his control.

But if he had this technology, all these worries would vanish.

As for other uses he hadn't thought of yet, he needed to first master this consciousness technology before experimenting and improving it.

"Oh, I thought it was something else., turns out it's just this. I've already paid the money, wouldn't I be at a loss if you don't give it to me? Hurry up and send over the technology package," Sun Jack said to Xiao Ting as if doing her a favor.

Hearing Sun Jack say this, with a "snap", Xiao Ting reclined back into her chair and crossed her legs, a smug expression on her face, "Too bad... I don't know how."

Hearing this, Sun Jack burst into fury, rising abruptly. "Damn it! After all this talk, you say you don't know?! Are you fucking kidding me?"

The angrier Sun Jack got, the happier Xiao Ting seemed, her anime face almost brimming with joy. "I never said I knew how, I just said there's such technology."

Sun Jack stretched out his right hand and hoisted Xiao Ting's physical proxy into midair, "Fuck! You don't think you're really qualified to negotiate with me, do you? Do you really think I just donated those 1200W dumbasses for nothing?"

Just then, Tapai chimed in, "She used another city's network as a relay, but that's a minor issue for me. She's still in Metropolis, I've located her, and I'm sending you the coordinates now."

Hearing this, Xiao Ting, who had been hiding behind the physical proxy, showed a rare hint of panic on her face, which was quickly replaced by intense anger.

"Sun Jack! You son of a bitch! You never intended to negotiate with me from the start! You've been planning to screw me over from the beginning!"

The more frantic she got, the less hurried Sun Jack seemed. "Oh? Why do you look so surprised? Did you really think I spent all that money just to chat with you? We've been in touch for so long, have we ever interacted politely and lovingly?"

At this moment, Xiao Ting had no time to quarrel with Sun Jack, as she was already preparing to flee offline.

As she instantaneously disconnected from the digital chicken, the two-dimensional avatar vanished instantly, leaving behind a headless shell of a digital chicken.

Sun Jack casually threw the digital chicken aside and turned to Tapai, "Let's go, bring over the hover shuttle, we are going to see Xiao Ting's true face."

Xiao Ting had already started her escape, and from the path displayed by her coordinates, it seemed she was heading towards the intercity station.

"Don't worry, with me and the digital personality here, she won't be able to get anywhere." With Tapai's hacking, the defense system of the intercity station was compromised, and various automated weapons were activated, beginning to attack the vehicle approaching Xiao Ting.

"Don't kill her; I still need to obtain the clone personality overlap technology from her," Sun Jack said as he opened the hover shuttle, braved the fierce winds, and jumped down, ready to capture her himself.

Tapai's tracking was accurate, and despite Xiao Ting using various methods to shake off her pursuers, it was all in vain. Both Sun Jack and Tapai had significantly improved.

As Sun Jack's artificial eyes rapidly contracted, he immediately located the slender figure sitting on the flying motorcycle in the distance.

Feeling Sun Jack's gaze, Xiao Ting hurriedly sped up, aiming to escape.

However, as Tapai sent over a bunch of viruses, both the person and the machine became extremely sluggish almost instantaneously.

A beam of laser shot over, and Sun Jack directly destroyed her vehicle.

With flames erupting behind him, he quickly chased after Xiao Ting, who was escaping through the shattered glass into a spacious building.

As Sun Jack rushed into the building via the ceiling, it appeared to be some sort of electronic library, with projections of virtual books constantly rotating in the air.

In that building, quite unexpectedly, he found members of the Graffiti Gang and Satan Gang engaged in a firefight, and Xiao Ting who had just fallen, had already disappeared into the chaotic battlefield.

As Sun Jack had his men surround the entire library, he slowly descended and pursued the precise coordinates of Xiao Ting.

"Hey, Borrow King!" The gang leader greeted Sun Jack enthusiastically amid the firefight; he didn't know these people, but they recognized Sun Jack.

As one person shouted out, other street kids also greeted Sun Jack from both sides, some even with admiration in their eyes.

As a legend of Metropolis, the story of Borrow King working his way up from a mercenary to a powerful gang leader, spread by Old Six, had almost become an idol for the entire lower strata of Metropolis.

Sun Jack couldn't be bothered with them. "This is a library, after all. Can we have some decency here?"

The sounds of explosions and gunshots ceased. Both sides considered it and decided their idol had a point. Indeed, the library was a place where noise was prohibited. Thus, they equipped their weapons with silencers and continued their firefight.
