Abstraction for a bad world

Chapter 86 Someone you can trust relatively... Marina is in big crisis!
"Mapo tofu, it's delicious, right?"

Yuan Qingzhuo looked at Marina who was eating silently, and then glanced at Millie who was sitting next to her and ignoring the midnight snack she made.

Marina, who almost buried her whole face in the plate, nodded vigorously with the plate.

Millie remained silent, her prosthetic eye flashing, and she looked like she was watching a video.

Actually, it was not possible to make Mapo Tofu originally, but Shirakawa Wakaka brought a lot of ingredients, and the refrigerator in this tiny place was pitifully small. If they were not refrigerated, the dishes would go bad in two days.

So Millie made an extra midnight snack, since Marina couldn't possibly not finish it anyway.

Mapo tofu, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried potatoes with green peppers... plus a big bowl of rice. Wow, carbs + carbs, right?

——And why are they all Chinese dishes?

Millie doesn't look like she has been influenced by Chinese culture.

Does that mean that the installed chef chip was mixed with private goods?
Compared to Yuan Qingzhuo who would think about why when seeing something strange, Marina doesn't care about so many things. She just knows that it's delicious, delicious, and damn delicious!
Because the door was broken, the aroma of food slowly drifted out of the house, attracting the excited barking of stray dogs outside.

Stray dogs: What a... such a strong smell, I feel full just by smelling it! Give me some, give me some!
Amid the loud barking of the dogs, Marina swallowed the last bite of her meal and leaned against the window sill, patting her round belly that had pushed open her clothes, poking Millie's cheek with pleasure.
"Why did you suddenly think of installing a chef chip? This doesn't seem to be cheap."

The data flashing in Millie's eyes stopped, and she answered without much emotion: "Because I don't want to become a cyberpsycho."

Marina: “?”

"Sister Millie, can you say something I can understand?"

"Marina, I know you killed dozens of members of the Uzumaki Gang this afternoon... maybe you don't have a real feeling about it." Millie lowered her head in disappointment: "Even the weakest one among them, I had to work hard to install prosthetics to have a slight chance of defeating him."

Marina touched her head in surprise - when she saw Yuan Qingzhuo fighting, didn't he punch every kid he hit?
"If you install too many prosthetics in a short period of time, the ultimate result will be nothing more than a cyberpsychopath."

Millie stretched out her original hand and pointed at her lungs. “So, I cancelled the two prosthetics that were originally planned to be installed because they were meaningless.”

Marina immediately shook her head: "How can making yourself stronger be meaningless?"

“It just doesn’t make sense.”

Millie replied: "Because you are here."

"If I'm facing an enemy that I can't even defeat, no matter how much money I spend or how painful the modifications I endure, I won't be able to win - unless I don't mind becoming a cyber-psychopath for a month."

"Can……"

Marina wanted to refute, but Millie immediately covered her mouth.

Then I heard her say calmly: "I have chosen you, Marina."

Yuan Qingzhuo, who had already slaughtered Laolang ten times in a row, threw out four Qs: "Once Gouzi takes off, she must be taken with her? Who gave her the confidence?"

"Now it's fantasy time!"

Lao Lang looked at the bombs that were thrown, and then looked at the scattered cards in his hand. He couldn't help but throw the cards in Yuan Qingzhuo's face: "There are bombs in every hand, you cheating bastard! I can't even imagine a scene where I can beat you!"

"The dog barks when the food is served?"

"How dare you say that you're cheating?"

The verbal battle on the bed did not affect the conversation between Marina and Millie. While Gouzi was still thinking about how to respond, Millie continued,
"A powerful person like you will definitely have no shortage of followers after becoming famous, and it is even more unlikely that you will need the help of someone like me who can only use a gun... Actually, it doesn't make sense for me to choose you. What's important is that you can accept me."

“So, I need to show my worth.”

Millie pointed expressionlessly at her head and the dishes on the table.

"——Ah, why wouldn't I accept you?"

The dog tilted his head in confusion.jpg
Millie was silent for a while, staring at Marina. After confirming that she was not lying on purpose, she couldn't help but curl her lips and sighed, "Maybe you will keep me by your side now, but in the long run, when more and more people are around you, I will probably be forgotten."

She said: "The iron rule of the Sun City is that anything that has no value will be discarded."

Marina's brain was racing, not knowing what to say in response, but surprisingly, she thought Millie was right.

Although I don’t know what she meant, I always felt that “Oh, right, right, that’s right.”

There is always a lot of truth in what smart people say.

So Marina nodded dumbly.

Millie, who was not scheming or cunning, said directly: "The person in front of you now is someone who saved your life the first time you met - someone you can trust relatively."

"She can put a cooked breakfast in front of you when you open your eyes every day, and can also ensure that you are provided with safe food in dangerous situations."

Millie put away the dishes, walked to the only faucet, turned on the water, and said calmly:

“——This is the value I can show.”

Clap clap clap.

Yuan Qingzhuo clapped his hands.

"It's true. No wonder she suddenly changed her career to become a cook. I like brothers who have a clear self-awareness."

Old Wolf curled his lips and said, "I don't care whether it's worth it or not. I just know that Marina never lets me out, and I can't even have a bite of the hot food."

Yuan Qingzhuo was just about to discuss with Marina whether it was indeed possible to keep the little thing as a dedicated chef, but suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon.

Come to think of it, why hasn’t the dog spoken to me since he woke up?
"Hey, doggie..."

"Ugh!"

After Yuan Qingzhuo touched her shoulder, Marina could no longer hold back. She screamed and covered her face with both hands. Her red face could be vaguely seen through her fingers.

The old wolf didn't even bother to look - the dog he had raised for so long was suddenly tricked away by Tianjiangyuan Qingzhuo.

This Lao Yuan is not so handsome that it can shockingly arouse the spirits. It's just that his skin is a little whiter, his facial features are a little more three-dimensional, his body is a little more muscular, and his personality is a little better. That's all.

Could it be that Lao Yuan is the legendary succubus?

Or maybe the ancients were right, the green plum is no match for the gift from heaven.

What’s even more hateful is that she lost the bet and couldn’t express her opinions to Marina...so she could only watch from the sidelines during this period.

"Hey, is the weather so hot? Why is the dog so hot? Does he have a fever?"

Yuan Qingzhuo curiously wanted to touch Marina's forehead, but Marina simply moved aside, fanned her face with her hands and said, "Oh, it's really hot. I'm dying of heat..."

After attracting Millie's attention with her strange mumbling, Marina quickly changed the subject: "What I actually wanted to say is, isn't it great for Millie to be a chef? She cooks delicious food. It's decided, from now on, Sister Millie, you will help me cook three meals a day!"

——When I first faced Yuan Qingzhuo, my mind was filled with thoughts of finding a time to do it to him, and I had even planned on making him beg for mercy.

But why is it that now, after Xiao Yuan said those words to her, similar thoughts have almost disappeared, and are replaced by another kind of strange emotion that is hard to explain?
Marina didn't understand.

She only knew that she was now facing the great crisis of being interrogated by Yuan Qingzhuo!
Damn it, how should I answer this! Is there anyone who can come and save my teeth?

As if hearing her cry for help, a crisp "ding" sound rang at Marina's waist.

What followed was a cold, mechanical, yet extremely pleasant prompt sound.

[Utopia Credit reminds you: Senior VIP customer **** has successfully transferred money to you, and your personal account has received 2000000.00 yuan. Please check it in time. ]

"Wow, how come a good friend is transferring money to me at this time? Let me see who it is..."

Marina hurriedly took out a small black brick from her waist and was about to read out loud the contents on it, but her expression froze in an instant.

She clicked the zero again in disbelief, then rubbed her eyes and clicked the zero again.

Finally, looking up blankly:
"Two, two million???"

"There are 40 to 50 people in this Ganges River. The prosthetics alone on each person are worth tens of thousands, not to mention the blood and organs that haven't cooled down yet. Even if you take into account the loss from selling them quickly, this is still a reasonable price."

Yuan Qingzhuo waved his hand: "In the City of Sun, as long as you are not exploited by the evil companies, strength = money. This inequality cannot be broken in one second."

Marina still couldn't believe it: "Is this true?"

"Then just give Baichuan a call, she will definitely answer."

"Then I won't ask, it's true! Absolutely, easily!" Marina raised her hands and shouted, "Yeah, yeah!"

"Then can we move to a better place to live?"

Marina's eyes sparkled - the gate was in tatters, and the landlord had already given up. Once she found a good place, she could bring Millie in directly.

With a huge sum of two million in hand, spending one hundred thousand to rent or buy a house is not a luxury.

Then he would eat when it was time to eat and sleep when it was time to sleep, and he would start living the life of a young master who would sleep until he woke up naturally and could eat as soon as he opened his eyes every morning.

Marina's mouth was about to split with laughter.

This night was spent in cheers.

The next day, seven in the morning.

Millie nudged the dazed Marina and said to her, "The doctor called and asked me to tell you that the goods have arrived."

Yuan Qingzhuo, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes.

——A gene awakening potion has arrived.

Although the specialness of the [First Awakening] is not as good as the [Second Awakening] which can "awaken specialties" on the path of genetic awakeners, it is also not as good as the [Third Awakening] in improving the body in all aspects.

But it is the most important.

The improvement and foundation gained in an awakening is the standard for measuring the potential of a genetic awakener.

Generally speaking, the greater the improvement in physical fitness in the [First Awakening], the stronger the special abilities obtained in the [Second Awakening] will be.

But this also means that even after [an awakening], the genetically awakened person is still just a super soldier with great strength, the ability to jump high and run fast - but at the same time, the psychic can already develop psychic powers into various ingenious uses.

Of course, a super-super soldier like Marina is not within the scope of normal discussion.

And if you want to go to the end of this road, you must maintain the "purity" of your body and not allow too many prostheses to invade your physical body.

Psychics don't have this problem.

So the genetic path has no advantages at all except that it is relatively cheap.

——Except for poor people, who would come here to suffer for no reason?
Marina was lying on the bed with her arms and legs spread out, sleeping soundly. Millie's cries only made her yelp briefly, and then she continued to turn over in her arms, hugging the quilt.

After trying again and again without success, Millie gave up.
Yuan Qingzhuo would never spoil her like this.

Since I can't wake you up...

He stood on the bed, sneered, and hit the sleeping Marina hard in the abdomen.

boom!
Marina rolled several times in an instant and hit the wall hard, which scared Millie, who was making breakfast, so much that her hands shook and she narrowly avoided cutting her fingers.

"Ahem... What's going on? Are the troops coming?"

Marina slowly crawled out of the human-shaped groove and fanned away the smoke and dust in front of her with her hands.

"get up!"

Yuan Qingzhuo jumped from the bed to her front and tapped Marina on the forehead several times to wake her up: "The medicine has arrived. Go directly to the doctor for the injection and upgrade. By the way, order the second awakening medicine."

Marina shook her head, rubbed her red forehead and muttered, "It's only been a few hours... I haven't woken up yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

"I'm urging you to get up? If I don't urge you to get up, then it's the damn company that's urging you to get up!" Yuan Qingzhuo lifted up Marina, who was sitting on the ground and pecking at rice like a chicken: "Have you forgotten what Shirakawa Wakaka mentioned yesterday about [Arakawa Pharmaceutical] and [Gospel Technology]?"

"That's right... I didn't forget the few hours of sleep I missed?"

Marina, who was interrupted from her sleep again, sighed and patted her cheeks. Her cloudy eyes became clear: "Then shall we set off now?"

"Now, just take a taxi."

Yuan Qingzhuo added: "There's no need to save this little money, and... you can even take a nap in the car."

"That's true……"

Marina nodded blankly as if she suddenly realized something, put on a piece of clothing, put on her shoes, and took out a small black brick to prepare to go out.

Millie couldn't handle this scene.

——Wasn’t she still sleeping soundly just now and couldn’t be woken up even if I called her? Why did she suddenly go out?

Millie asked Marina, whose clothes were disheveled and whose hair was a mess, "The sandwiches are ready. Marina, do you want to eat some?"

“Eat, eat, eat—”

Marina's sleepy expression disappeared in an instant. She quickly turned around, snatched the warm sandwich from Millie's hand, and strode out the door.

Normally, she would become a genetically awakened person in a few hours.

The doctor turned off the communication and muttered to himself: "Special gene awakening reagent?"

She smiled and looked at Millie, who had communicated with her not long ago.

"——Isn't there a test subject with excellent talent?"
