Fault Utopia

Chapter 18 Money is hard to make

Looking at the confirmation window floating in front of him, Sun Jack felt pressured.

With a tense expression, he finally made up his mind.

However, after clicking on the message, looking at the ID: I'm going to make a mistake! Sun Jieke looked at Tapai speechlessly, "Fuck! Are you going to die? You scared me!!"

"You're such a coward! A piece of application information can scare you like this."

Sun Jack was too lazy to pay attention to him. He leaned against the electronic wreath and began to search for information about the battle last night.

I know very little about that space station. Maybe after Gaofeng Company picks it up and analyzes it carefully, they can report some things I don’t know.

More importantly, he still wanted to confirm whether others had discovered any traces of himself and Ta Pai.

After a brief search, Sun Jack indeed found some reports, some of which were exclusive analyses of private live broadcasts. He was about to click on them excitedly but was stopped by the cold message "insufficient balance".

"Damn, are you kidding me? I have to pay to read the news?" Sun Jieke was almost injured from the frustration.

"That being said, it seems like you have to adapt to this place as much as possible. In capitalism, money is everything," Tapai said.

Thinking back to what he had experienced since waking up, Sun Jie Ke fiercely cancelled all the UIs in front of him. "Damn, what a crappy place."

Looking at the rain outside, Sun Jieke said to Tapai beside him: "Why don't we just go somewhere else? The earth is so big, I don't believe that the whole place is so bad."

"Sure, you're the boss, you have the final say, but the question is, do you have the money to buy the plane ticket?"

Looking at the string of zeros in his account, Sun Jack was immediately discouraged. Whether it was sending a message or leaving, it would cost money.

Sun Jack looked at him and said, "Then can you get the money? Like hack into a bank account or something."

"Damn, you're so bold. I'm a robot, not Superman."

"Robots in other movies are not like this. They can do anything in a split second."

"Dream on. There are all kinds of things in dreams. This world doesn't understand the programming language of my brain, and I naturally don't understand the new programming language of this world. It's already great to be able to connect to the Internet. Invasion, stealing programming, and making money are out of the question."

"Then learn a new programming language. Aren't you a robot? You should have a strong learning ability, right?"

"Then you should give me money to upgrade the memory and CPU. With such a small amount of computing power, I still have to learn a new language. The logical functions are almost all used up. With such a small amount of memory, I can speak so fluently. I admire myself very much."

"Then go and earn it!"

“How can I earn money if I don’t know a new language?”

“Then go learn a new language!”

“But studying costs money!”

"Then go and earn it!"

Five minutes later, Sun Jieke and Ta Pai stared at the heavy rain in front of them in a daze. Now Sun Jieke finally understood what it meant to be defeated by a penny.

Forget about any information or plane tickets now. If I stay here any longer, I won’t even have money for food.

Just as Sun Jack was staring at the hovercrafts and private planes coming and going in front of him, the people in suits across the glass suddenly gave him inspiration.

"Yeah, I can find a job first."

Tapai turned around, and an emoji popped up on the screen above his face. "(￢_￢) Are you serious?" "Why not? I suddenly realized that I seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding. It's not that this place is bad, but that the circle we are in contact with is bad." Sun Jieke explained.

"As soon as we got down here, we came into contact with either desperate criminals or people like Song 6PUS who valued money over their lives. We were led astray by Song 6 from the very beginning."

"As the world around us becomes red, so the world around us becomes black. We should have less contact with them in the future to avoid being assimilated."

Sun Jieke said as he walked a few steps quickly, standing in the heavy rain. He turned around and looked at Tapai excitedly. "And you see, Peak Technology is a company, right? There must be people working in a company, right? There are still normal people working diligently in this place."

"Okay, you're the boss, you have the final say. What are you going to do next?" Tapai followed and walked into the rain.

"Use your CPU to help me search for job information. Find all the job information that matches my requirements. Our primary goal right now is to make money!"

The two people's systems searched quickly, and Sun Jack was glad that at least the application was free.

Although the application was free, there were certain requirements, such as job experience, education, and skills, which were beyond the capabilities of Sun Jack.

Sun Jieke searched everywhere and was so hungry that he still couldn't find the job. Suddenly, he was alerted by a customer service recruitment information.

"Working hours per week: 56 hours, weekly salary during probation: 0.15@coin, conditions: modification rate of brain logic and behavior functions: less than 5%, number of cortical stimulant injections: less than 100."

"I can do this." Although the salary is not high, there is no academic requirement. At least I can survive in this world, and I can temporarily stay away from those bad places.

As Sun Jack clicked, a large arrow appeared out of thin air, and a navigation route instantly appeared in front of Sun Jack. "The destination is 39 kilometers away. Please turn left 200 meters ahead."

"Let's go! Let's go!"

Although Sun Jack didn't have a car and didn't have money to take public transportation, he had other means of transportation.

Ta Pai cursed as he carried Sun Jack on his shoulders, pressed his legs down with his joints twisted to turn them into wheels, and rushed out into the rain.

Sun Jieke shouted in the strong wind. "Tapai! Remember! When we make money, the first thing we have to do is buy food! I'm starving!"

Hearing this, Tapai quickly doubled his speed. "Come on! Drink more northwest wind!!"

Half an hour later, the rain gradually subsided and they arrived at the job application site. This so-called company turned out to be a basement. The place was a bit shabby, with green garbage bags piled up next to it.

However, Sun Jie Ke didn't care about this. As long as he could make money, it was fine. If the job was too high-end, he was afraid that he would not be able to get the job.

After Sun Jieke dried his clothes, he found the HR department. He found that there were already two people sitting on the bench in the office, a man and a woman, both in suits and leather shoes. Sun Jieke, wearing casual clothes, looked a bit out of place with them.

It can be seen that the two applicants are relatively young, with nervousness on their faces. They picked up and put down the disposable cups in their hands without taking a sip.

"This city is not full of idiots." Sun Jieke smiled at them kindly and sat down next to them. "Right, there are still some normal people here. How can they all be crazy?"

There was a sound of "da da da" footsteps, and a woman with metal high heels walked in. She glanced at the three applicants with a haughty look, and then sat down behind the desk. It was obvious that she was the HR of this company.

"Who is AA?" She asked arrogantly, crossing her arms and leaning back.

Sun Jack couldn't understand the language she spoke, but as the bright yellow screen flashed, automatic translation started immediately.

"It's me, it's me!" A girl with short hair and purple highlights on her bangs hurriedly stepped forward stiffly.

The HR looked at the girl in front of him as if he were looking at a piece of merchandise, and said slowly, "Are you willing to have your uterus removed for the company?"

"Yes! I do! Don't worry, my uterus was removed when I was an adult, so I don't have any menstrual periods, and I guarantee it won't affect my work."
