A Doll or A Real Person?

Hearing Mo Fan's words, the cyborgs endured the pain and helped each other up as they left the place. After they left, Mo Fan could not hold on any longer. He immediately sat down and covered his wounds.

"Ahh, what the heck!"

"It really hurts!"

Their modified bodies were all made of metal while his body had never been modified.

One could only imagine the outcome after being attacked by those cyborgs.

Mo Fan had to rest for a while before the pain subsided.

Fortunately, he did not suffer any serious injuries.

He only suffered a few superficial wounds that he casually dealt with before leaving the alley.

…

As Mo Yu ran, he looked behind him.

He heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that Mo Fan did not chase after him.

Not long after, his underlings also followed.

"Boss, what do we do now?"

"What else can we do? Go back!" Mo Yu shouted loudly. It was as if this shout was the only way he could regain some of his face in front of his subordinates.

Mo Yu did not expect that Mo Fan would be so powerful.

He had thought that it would be an easy extortion scheme, but who knew that they would fail so miserably! Their group of cyborgs had all gone through body modification. It was easy for them to deal with other people.

They were never afraid of anyone in a fight, but today, Mo Fan had taught them a lesson.

An ordinary person could actually be so powerful even without modifying his body?

Mo Fan suddenly became rich and powerful.

Mo Yu would never believe that Mo Fan did not have a fortuitous encounter somewhere.

He led his henchmen to an old office building and entered through its back doors.

After everyone entered, they went to a private room and started to treat their wounds.

Mo Fan did not hold back at all. A few of their ribs were broken.

As for Mo Yu, he came to the second floor on his own.

The floor area was rather large.

It was about 200 square meters, and there were rows of low-end gaming cabins.

Part of the gaming capsules in the room was currently operating, while the others remained unused.

Not far away in the pantry, a group of people was discussing what they had just seen in the game. This was one of the gathering places of the Razor Blade Gang. Gaming was also one of their main businesses.

Entering the innermost area, there was an extremely luxurious office.

Mo Yu hesitated for a moment before knocking on the door.

The door opened by itself and he walked in.

An extremely charming woman was sitting in the office chair with her legs propped up on the desk. Her actions inadvertently revealed a beautiful and alluring scenery.

However, Mo Yu lowered his head the moment he entered the room.

He did not dare to look at her at all. It was as if this woman was a terrifying monster.

This woman was the leader of the Razor Blade Gang, Xia Linyan.

Other than her brain, she had modified her entire body and transformed them into mechanical parts.

She was the most powerful individual in the gang.

In the Razor Blade Gang, everyone feared her strength.

"Mo Yu, what's going on with your cousin? Have you figured it out yet?"

"President Xia…" Mo Yu recounted his experience in detail.

Hearing Mo Yu's words, Xia Linyan was surprised.

She knew about the relationship between Mo Fan and Mo Yu, so she was the first to know that Mo Fan had come to their territory to buy a house.

Then, she had Mo Yu investigate Mo Fan.

But she did not expect that Mo Fan had hidden himself pretty well.

"Okay, you don't have to think about this matter anymore. Hurry up and enter the game with your henchmen, so you all can earn some money!"

"Yes, President Xia! I'll take my leave then."

Once Xiao Yu was done speaking, he immediately left.

He looked as if he did not want to stay any longer in this room.

Seeing Mo Yu leave, Xia Linyan sneered: Useless trash!

She got up and pressed a button, locking the office door.

She went to the side of the office and opened a door.

What appeared behind the door were two rows of display cabinets with all kinds of human skins displayed on them!

The scene was horrifying, to say the least!

Xia Linyan walked forward as she admired the skins in the display case.

She very much enjoyed looking at them.

Soon, she arrived before a display cabinet that was filled with the skin of beautiful women to the brim. She opened the glass cabinet close to it.

"I'll use your identity this time. It should be fun, hehe…"

Xia Linyan muttered to herself and took off her clothes, revealing her perfect body.

Then, she stretched her hands above her head.

She tore off her skin from the back of her head.

The mechanical body beneath the skin looked like a very advanced robot.

After removing her skin, Xia Linyan changed into the skin in the glass cabinet.

Not long after, a very pure and cute girl appeared in the room.

Xia Linyan went to the wardrobe and chose a Lolita costume to wear.

At a glance, she looked so precious that anyone would want to protect her.

…

When Mo Fan arrived at the talent market, he was stunned by the scene before him.

There was a sea of people here, selling puppet dolls everywhere.

As for the hiring of real people, they were almost never seen around.

The talent market had a large number of self-service robots.

Mo Fan randomly called one.

Then, he followed robot No. 318 to various booths to choose his targets.

Coming to the front, Mo Fan was quickly attracted by a beauty on a display stand.

This beauty was as beautiful as orchids and as gentle as jade.

There was also detailed information about her at the side.

[Zhou Zhiruo]

[18 Years Old]

"Mr. Mo, this puppet doll is a popular model in the current year of 2077. Not only is it beautiful in appearance, but its inner AI engine is also from the Flood Dragon 5th Generation technology. It's already the most advanced model. It's definitely comfortable to use!"

When No. 318 saw Mo Fan stop at the booth, it immediately started explaining.

As the doll was still inactive, its facial expression remained frozen.

Mo Fan looked at the beautiful Zhou Zhiruo in front of him and could not help but feel a ripple in his heart.

He had an urge to buy her.

"Mr. Mo, are you renting or purchasing?"

Seeing that Mo Fan was interested, No. 318 immediately asked.

"Ah, I'll look… I'll look around first!" Mo Fan returned to his senses.

He smiled rather awkwardly and continued his walk.

The doll was really good, it was also very popular.

But that also meant that countless people had rented it before his turn.

Even if he could change some parts, Mo Fan still felt a little disgusted.

He would not buy that kind of doll in such a place like this.

Wouldn't it be nice to go to the mannequin manufacturing company itself and buy a customized version for himself?

The next few booths were filled with beautiful humanoid machines and even male humanoid machines.

[Wolverine]

[47 Years Old]

[Main Functions: Defensive combat, super bodyguard, combat coach, etc. More details can be found in the manual.]

[Rental Price: $23,800 per month]

[Purchase Price: $3,820,000]

F*ck, this doll was awesome!

It was a super fighter!

When he looked up mechanical dolls online, the results he found from search engines were mostly about housekeepers. As a result, the dolls he found all had various housekeeping functions.

Now, it seemed like he made the right decision to come to the venue!

Looking at the introduction of the combat puppet Wolverine, Mo Fan immediately spoke to No. 318.

"318, I'll buy this. How do I place the order?"

"Hello, Mr. Mo, are you sure you want to buy the [Wolverine] puppet?"

"That's right, I'm sure!"

"Alright, Mr. Mo. The price of 'Wolverine' is $3,820,000. In addition to the puppet purchase tax of $338,053, the combat doll accident insurance of $38,200, and the serial number registration of $1000, the total purchase price is $4,197,253."

"In other words, I need to pay $4,197,253 to buy this [Wolverine] puppet?"

"That's right, Mr. Mo. May I know if it's an installment or full payment?"

"Full payment!"

"Alright, Mr. Mo. Please confirm the purchase process on the screen in front of me."

After No. 318 finished speaking, its mechanical body transformed from a humanoid robot into a self-service terminal machine, revealing an operating screen.

Mo Fan immediately followed the instructions and paid.

The 23 million dollars in his account balance instantly fell to 19 million.

After Mo Fan paid, No. 318 returned to normal and said slowly, "Mr. Mo, congratulations on your successful purchase! Are you going to take the [Wolverine] now or should I send it directly to your house?"

"Bring it to me now!"

Mo Fan looked at the [Wolverine] on the display and could not help but look forward to it.

"Alright, please wait!"

After No. 318 finished speaking, he went to the booth of [Wolverine] and started operating something on a small screen.

After a while, the glass barrier on the display booth slowly descended.

"Mr. Mo, please activate the [Wolverine]!"

Mo Fan walked up and activated [Wolverine] according to No. 318's prompt.

Wolverine came to life and smiled at Mo Fan.

"Esteemed Mr. Mo Fan, nice to meet you. Thank you for using a product of the Flying Soldier Military Machine Manufacturing Company. No. FJ9842 Wolverine at your service!"

"Very good. I'll call you Wolf from now on. Stay by my side and protect me!"

Mo Fan looked at Wolverine with satisfaction.

"As you command, Mr. Mo Fan!"

Wolverine followed Mo Fan down the stage.

Mo Fan could not help but sigh as he watched an identical [Wolverine] rise up from beneath the empty booth.

This puppet company really made a lot of money!

Glancing at Wolverine behind him, Mo Fan shook his head.

He had thought that his first doll was a beauty, but it turned out to be a man.

He still hadn't found a housekeeper just yet!

Mo Fan immediately asked No, 318.

"318, are there only puppets here? Are there any human housekeepers?"

"Yes, of course. Mr. Mo Fan, please follow me!"

No. 318 brought Mo Fan to a small tunnel on the left.

After arriving at the passageway, Mo Fan realized that this place was completely different from the puppet display area.

There were mostly companies there, but here, there were more applicants. A large number of applicants surrounded their potential employers and recommended themselves.

Before Mo Fan could take a closer look at the applicants, a large group of beauties immediately surrounded him as if they had found their prey.

"Boss, hire me! I know how to cook, do laundry, and do all kinds of household chores!"

"Boss, pick me! Not only do I know how to do housework, but I also know how to warm the bed!"

"Boss, boss, boss! What do you think of me? I can do anything!"
