Chapter 414 Ideology

At a corner of the bar, the Priest was going on and on at Sun Jack.

"I need to tell you that Metropolis will surely prosper, but it's not because you are wise and mighty, it's because too many people have died this time! The resources of Metropolis can be redistributed!"

"As the population keeps increasing, as conflicts continue to accumulate, once they reach a certain level, you will become the new Holy Grail!!"

"I know! Do you need to teach me? That's why I'm taking control of the Breeding Factory next! They won't overproduce anymore! Capital will no longer have so many unemployed people for them to casually discard and select!!" Sun Jack's voice also instantly rose.

"So you still become the emperor, this is still centralization! Even if you don't want to, but this situation won't shift because of an individual's will." The Priest once again made his definition.

Sun Jack sighed helplessly, "Then what do you want to do? Give me a solution."

"Destroy all the oligarchs, and also your power is too great, it must be checked, absolute power only leads to absolute corruption."

Listening to these impractical words, Sun Jack helplessly looked up, flicked his right hand, and directly flicked the cigarette butt from his mouth into the neck of Zhao Yi next to him.

"Boss, I know you are an idealist, but things don't work this way. If we really do this, then I will completely become the opposite of all the capital in Metropolis, their surrender doesn't mean they will listen to everything I say!"

"Do you know that my original body has already disappeared? And with such a large market in Metropolis, do you really think other cities won't covet it? Under internal and external troubles, it's impossible to make such sweeping changes! If we really do as you say, the success obtained with the effort of two generations will be gone in a flash!"

"What original body, every one of you is an original body now! You don't even care about death! Why care about an original body!! You should throw yourself fully into it!" The Priest's body suddenly leaned forward.

"How can I not care? Not to mention what the person who stole the original body would want to do to us, without the fusion of the original body, we thousands of clones will gradually become independent individuals due to different experiences."

Sun Jack lit two cigarettes and placed them in his mouth, "You might not know, but there are already other Sun Jacks who want to clone Si Ai again, but they have been stopped by everyone else."

"This is just a minor issue. What if all the clones have disagreements on major issues? What if there are problems in the reform path, who should we listen to? Anyone can be Sun Jack, but we really need Sun Jieke's Original Body."

"You say centralization is bad, but under such internal and external troubles, centralization is the most efficient."

"Priest, although I've lost a lot of memories, I haven't forgotten the oath of the Rat Alliance Battle Line. I promise you, as soon as the original body is found, as soon as the self-preservation issue is resolved, I guarantee to cancel centralization and check powers!"

"And please rest assured, during this time of centralization, I will never be corrupted by capital, because the current me is not only living for myself but also for Hilda and the others!" Memories of a past dream echoed in Sun Jack's mind, and his emotions surged instantaneously.

As Sun Jack's voice reached its peak, for a moment, everyone in the bar turned to look their way.

The Priest looked at Sun Jack with an extremely serious expression, and after a long time, he finally stood up, "Alright, I believe you."

With that, he downed the drink in his glass in one gulp, stood up, and was ready to walk out.

"Wait, Priest, I didn't invite you here just to drink."

The Priest turned to look at him, waiting for his next words.

"Metropolis needs a Labor Bureau to protect the rights and interests of all workers, will you come?" Sun Jack asked.

"I will." The Priest said and, without another word, walked straight out.

Zhao Yi, the accountant sitting to the side, asked with some confusion, "Boss, why do you still use him? He was just trying to divide your power."

Watching the Priest's retreating figure, Sun Jack said, "I know he's an idealist, and I'm aware that he's no longer the Priest of the past, but sometimes I just hope he's around, truth be told, I'm also afraid that I might become what he describes."

Shaking his head to clear those chaotic thoughts, he turned to Zhao Yi, "Do you still have time to drink here? In the future, you won't just be handling Utopia Security's accounts, but also Metropolis's accounts."

"Don't worry, Tapai has made me a system, and with the help of auxiliary AI, leave all the bookkeeping to me. I guarantee not a single entry will be incorrect!"

"That's good." After sorting out these trivial matters, Sun Jack directly connected to Sun Jack's network channel, quickly browsing the previous conversation records.

With his own tasks completed, he left the remaining issues to other Clones. Right now, the most crucial issue was the disappearance of Sun Jack's Original Body.

It seemed that while he was dealing with the trivialities, the other Sun Jacks had already pinpointed two potential factions that might have targeted his Original Body.

"Either the DNA Innovation Faction or the Machine Conservative Faction. Considering the current situation, the only forces capable of targeting our Original Body are these two! The Holy Grail is no more, apart from that, I really can't think of anyone else who would target us."

"That's too vague, it's impossible to investigate with just that!"

"Let's go find X first! Let's probe the Machine Conservative Faction's bottom line."

When X saw the multitude of Sun Jacks on the screen, his expression twisted as though he had swallowed fly feces.

"Sun Jack, Sun Jack! Impressive, Sun Jack, given the choice between two sides, you chose neither; instead, you flipped the table directly!?"

"Don't say that, haven't we achieved our objective? We used to be allies in the past," Sun Jack said with a chuckle.

"Not anymore, because of your actions, all the cities have been shaken and affected. With you openly sharing all DNA programming technology and your influence, now all the cities are in complete chaos!"

"That's a good thing, isn't it?" Sun Jack felt much better upon hearing this.

"Good? Bullshit! Now that Metropolis is yours, do you want the lower levels to suddenly erupt with unrest, and would you pay a share of your benefits for stabilization?" X looked furious.

Sun Jack tried to placate him, "Don't be angry; if everyone loses, then it's like no one has lost. Now, doesn't that make you feel a bit better?"

However, after hearing what Sun Jack said, X seemed even angrier. "Hmph! You just wait, once they stabilize their foundations, let's see if someone comes to settle scores with you!"

Seeing that the other party was about to disconnect the communication, Sun Jack hurriedly said, "Regardless, I don't care about the forces behind you, but just for the fact that you previously helped me by blocking the Holy Grail's brainwashing of me and Tapai, you have become a friend. If you encounter any issue in the future, anything we can help with, we'll definitely help."

"Tapai? Holy Grail brainwashing?" X showed a trace of surprise in his eyes. "What are you talking about? I don't understand. All I did was secretly prevent the Holy Grail from deleting your memories and conducting a review; I didn't touch that robot camera."
