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 397 The Same

"You! How could you waste food like this!"

Old Six rushed over, picked up the donut from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth, and then gleefully devoured the delicacies in front of him.

While eating, he didn't forget to live broadcast. "Guys! Today I'm going to take on a food-eating challenge!!"

Sun Jack pulled him over and turned to the girl beside him, asking, "Is it just about eating? Are there any other perks to becoming a Holy Grail Person?"

"Of course, this way." She looped her arm through Sun Jack's and they left the exquisite restaurant.

She then took Sun Jack and the other two on a tour of the entire Holy Grail, including the villa that was about to be allocated to him.

The facade of the building was made of a combination of elegant beige stone and dark wood, and the villa's front yard was surrounded by meticulously trimmed greenery, with a delicate fountain at the center where water droplets sparkled under the sunlight, and winding paths covered with pebbles on either side, flanked by various plants.

Sun Jack wasn't surprised; such a scene could only appear Above the Holy Grail.

As everyone watched this scene through Old Six's live stream, they cast envious glances, especially when they learned that the building was completely free and that there was no need to pay any utility bills.

Of course, beyond these norms, the most tempting thing was the Holy Grail's technology for eternal youth and immortality.

Sun Jack was taken inside a Transparent Pyramid, where he was brought to an elliptical capsule floating in the air.

The girl next to him explained kindly, "This device can enhance the activity of telomerase, extending the cell division cycle, and thus prolonging the lifespan of an organism, in addition to regular maintenance of body functions by Nanoworms."

"In theory, as long as you come once every ten years, you can ensure that your body never dies."

"Of course, our recommendation is that it's best to keep the original body protected and use a Clone for sensory projection in daily life, to minimize the chances of death."

When all Metropolitan Citizens saw this through Old Six's live broadcast, the viewership soared to its highest, as the desire for immortality exists in every human being.

In the past, everyone had only heard that people Above the Holy Grail could live forever, but it had always been a legend, the truth of which no one dared to guarantee. Suddenly seeing the reality of it was unexpected.

At this moment, Sun Jack glanced at the images on both sides. The perspective of the Holy Grail World and Metropolis was no longer the same.

Above the Holy Grail, there was a broadcast about the struggle to maximize interests between himself, the Mechanical Conservative Faction, and the DNA Innovation Faction, thereby demonstrating the power of DNA programming technology.

On the other hand, Old Six's live stream from Metropolis focused on the beautiful display of the Holy Grail, with both sides appearing very harmonious and peaceful. Except for Guan Sanke, no one in the world was harmed.

But Sun Jack didn't see it that way; he lifted his head and saw through the transparent glass a floating garden where Holy Grail People were leisurely walking their pets in mid-air.

Among them, besides some common pets, there were some unusual ones, such as clones of Guan Sanke, including a nude version,

"The figurines are for sale already?" Sun Jack laughed, but as his gaze shifted, the smile gradually faded from his face because he saw himself, he saw Tapai, he saw AA.

A Holy Grail Person happily stretched out a hand, teasing the AA lying below in a T-shirt. The AA, with aggrievement in her eyes, raised her head to show him a smiling face, and lifted her shirt, revealing her breasts. "What a good girl, what a good dog."

Sun Jack slowly clenched his fists and smiled. He grabbed Old Six's head and directed the live broadcast camera toward this scene. "These must also be part of the Holy Grail's benefits, huh?"

"Yes, and 20% of these earnings are yours, too. But don't worry, as a Holy Grail Person, you can buy back the rights to your own image and have the figurine companies stop production," the Rainbow Girl said happily.

Then Sun Jack saw Hilda in the sky. The enormous Hilda, swaying her mechanical tail, roamed the air. A chain was tied around her neck, held in the hand of a fat Holy Grail Person on her back.

When her master dirtied his hands with sticky food, she propped up her head, eyes brimming with tears. She cried, using the tears that flowed from her eyes to cleanse her master's fat palms, adorned with golden rings, of their filth.

Seeing this scene, Sun Jack's mind suddenly flashed with vague images; it seemed he had seen this before, as if nothing had changed.

"Tapai, Tapai!" Sun Jack suddenly called out.

"I'm here," replied Tapai, walking over.

Sun Jack tightly hooked the other man's neck and brought their foreheads together, his expression fierce as he shouted, "Help me!"

Tapai nodded without hesitation and said, "I help!"

"Good brother! Go!" Sun Jack let him go, turned around to look at the Rainbow Girl, "Can you take me for another look? This Holy Grail is just too wonderful."

"Sure, of course, I'd never get tired of being with you for any length of time. I'm your loyal fan, you know. Can we go to bed when we get back?" The girl smiled, and continued to guide Sun Jack on another tour.

At this moment, the Metropolitan Citizens filled Old Six's live broadcast room with envy. But suddenly, the live broadcast picture changed.

One side continued to display the sunny and beautiful Metropolis, while the other gradually morphed into the Metropolis engulfed in non-stop rain.

When Holy Grail images showed gourmet food, Metropolitan images revealed the Nutrient Paste Factory where Sun Jack and Tapai had once been, displaying the nutrient paste made from corpses.

When the Holy Grail images showed exquisite, spotless dwellings roaring with cleanliness, Metropolitan images showed homeless wanderers and AAs living in the gloomy, damp underground sewers.

When the Holy Grail images showed the leisurely life of Holy Grail People, not needing to work, Metropolitan images displayed those working dogs with no days off, toiling 15 hours a day, as well as their own struggles alongside Linda Linda to find work.

When Holy Grail images displayed Immortality Technology, Metropolitan images directly broadcast the absolute market theory of Metropolis, spoken by the Holy Grail Person Matrix itself, revealing the fact that Metropolitan Citizens only live to be 25.

And all these images were streamed live to the world, almost like a binding spell, almost all who were watching Old Six's live broadcast stopped their envious chatter, watching the screens intently.

"Does it hurt? Tired? Fair? Have you ever thought about another way of living? You're not even afraid of death anymore, so what are you afraid of?" Sun Jack's voice rose.

With bloodshot eyes, he yanked Old Six to face the camera point-blank. "Everyone better fucking watch closely! I'll only teach this once!"
