Chapter 48 Modification

"Jack, can I ask you a question?" AA seemed a little nervous.

"I like women, absolutely pure ones."

"No, no, I just want to ask how much you guys earn for a commission like this?"

"Tapai and I each get 10 x-on:."

After listening to Sun Jack's story, AA opened his mouth in surprise. "You can actually make so much money! No wonder you can eat organic food for breakfast."

Hearing the envy in the other party's words, Sun Jack smiled slightly and continued to eat supper, but he suddenly stopped and figured out the meaning behind AA's question. "You want to be a mercenary? I advise you not to be one."

"Don't just see the wolf eating meat but not the wolf being beaten. We do this kind of work with our heads hanging on the belt, and we may die at any time."

"I don't plan to do this kind of life for a long time. When we save enough money, Ta Pai and I will stop."

"You should be much better off with these 3 x-on:. Take this opportunity to find another stable job." Sun Jack suggested to AA.

AA stopped using the chopsticks in her hand and lowered her head, "But. Can I really find another job? I have been looking for a long time. They don't want me."

Sun Jieke reached out and hugged her gently. He didn't know how to give advice in this situation. After all, no one wanted him to find a job.

AA raised her head and looked at Sun Jieke, "I am not useless. When I was in school, I had a master's degree in engineering."

"In school, my grades were always the first!" AA was proud when she said this.

"With such good grades, why can't you find a job after graduation?"

The light in AA's eyes quickly disappeared. "Yeah, I don't know why I can't find a job after graduation no matter how good my grades are in school? Isn't learning for work?"

Finding a job seems to have become AA's psychological shadow. When it comes to this, she becomes emo. Sun Jieke simply changes the subject.

"Master of Engineering? Can you rub a nuclear bomb with your hands?" Sun Jieke, joking, took a sip of the water on the table.

"Yes!" AA's voice almost choked Sun Jieke to death.

"As long as I have enough nuclear materials, I can calculate the critical point of nuclear fission. In fact, I did this as homework in school."

"Times have changed, sir." The tower on the wall said sarcastically.

Soon Sun Jieke realized that he, an ancient man, was out of date. In his time, nuclear weapons were the most advanced weapons, but in this high-tech era, making nuclear bombs has become a student's homework.

Of course, many people can make nuclear bombs, but nuclear fuel is under strict supervision by the company.

"But even if you say so, you still can't be a mercenary. We only kill one or two people at most, so it's really not worth using nuclear bombs."

Hearing this, AA seemed to have really given up, and sighed deeply with his head down.

Looking at her little head, Sun Jieke suddenly thought of something, "If you are an engineer, can you change my prosthesis to a state that is not connected to the Internet and is manually triggered?"

AA's eyes lit up again, "Change it to a purely mechanical state? Of course I can, it's too simple!"

"Oh? Really? Then help me change it, and I'll pay you by the hour." Today's incident made Sun Jieke understand that some things are not the smarter the better. If they are hacked, even the best prosthesis is scrap metal.

Of course, he can also improve the firewall of the nervous system like others to increase the difficulty of intrusion.

But how much should it be improved to be considered a limit? Playing an arms race with others, I'm afraid that this little money is not enough to spend, so it's better to change it to a purely mechanical state directly.

"Okay! I'll go back and get the tools now!" AA stood up excitedly.

"Are you going out to die in the middle of the night? Go to sleep first and talk about it tomorrow." Sun Jieke burped and put the leftovers back into the refrigerator.

When Sun Jieke returned to the room, he saw AA covering her head with a quilt and laughing.

It seemed that she was particularly happy to be able to apply what she learned.

After eating and drinking, Sun Jieke slept very well. When he woke up again, he found that it was already 9 o'clock in the morning.

After he pushed open the door, he found that there was only a square quilt left on the sofa, and AA was gone.

"Tapai, where is she?"

"She went out early in the morning. She said she was going back to get tools to modify your prosthesis."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a knock at the door, "Jack! Tapai! I'm back!"

As soon as the door was opened, Sun Jieke saw AA carrying a large bag of things, and she was wearing an old pair of goggles on her head.

She smiled happily with light in her eyes. Sun Jieke found that AA was much more beautiful now than when he first saw her.

"Hey, why is there such a sexual fetish?" Sun Jieke, who really couldn't figure it out, opened the door and let AA in.

Seeing her eagerly opening the bag, which was filled with all kinds of messy metal tools. "Jack, take off your prosthesis and give it to me! I'll modify it for you."

Looking at her young face, Sun Jack was a little worried, "Are you sure you can do it? Don't break it."

"Of course I can, and it's not a difficult thing to do."

AA grabbed Sun Jack's prosthesis with both hands, and the next moment her expression changed instantly, becoming extremely focused.

She quickly took out various tools from her pocket and disassembled Sun Jieke's prosthesis at a very fast speed.

Seeing the other party's skillful movements, Sun Jieke couldn't help but believe her words. "Where did you learn all these skills?"

"School."

"You are so poor, how can you still have money to go to school?"

"I borrowed a student loan, and I have been paying it back since I graduated from school."

Hearing this, Sun Jieke suddenly understood something, "When you applied for the job, you said you owed a debt. Is it this debt?"

"No, there is also the principal and interest of the childbirth and upbringing debt. I didn't give birth naturally. I came from a fertility factory, so I told you before that I have no family."

"What do you mean by giving birth? Birth factory?" Sun Jieke was shocked.

As he quickly used the system to search, the official website of Birth Factory Co., Ltd. jumped directly to his face, and the babies on the interface smiled very happily.

According to the official website, because technology has become more and more advanced in recent years, everyone has their own new entertainment methods, and no one is willing to downgrade consumption to give birth to offspring, so the fertility rate in metropolitan areas has continued to decline.

If this continues, the population of Metropolis will become increasingly insufficient and eventually disappear completely.

In order to save Metropolis' low birth rate and in line with the lofty ideal of liberating women's fertility pressure, as well as to ensure the employment needs of major companies, fertility factories use artificial womb technology and begin to assume the social responsibility of having children.

Looking at the various righteous slogans on the official website, Sun Jieke was amused.

"This is like cutting leeks so that they don't grow anymore, so why not just grow them yourself."
