Fault Utopia

Chapter 270 Value

"Does capital never sleep?" Sun Jack murmured to himself as he looked at the neon city in the rain. During his communication with the Matrix, Sun Jack learned a lot. This strange city began to become familiar and three-dimensional in his eyes.

Everything seems to make sense, but there is a contradiction.

"But I still can't figure it out. Isn't the value of dumping plunder? But the Holy Grail obviously has everything. Is there anything valuable about the people of Metropolis that is worth them plundering through dumping?" Sun Jack asked the digital personality.

The digital personality immediately answered Sun Jieke's question. "Yes, they also have the value of anchoring the currency. Don't forget what the Holy Grail currency is. Mutually interchangeable fusion company stocks. When the Holy Grail currency is selected as the company's fusion stock, the value of the existence and consumption of the people in the metropolis is used to anchor the Holy Grail currency. They are the currency itself."

"Even if the entire economic system doesn't produce any meaning, if there are fewer people, the Holy Grail's money will naturally be less, which is absolutely unacceptable for capital. This system is obviously buggy, but as long as it works, it's fine."

Capital. Currency. Market. Value.

After hearing all this, Sun Jack finally understood that the capital of this world had long been out of control. Although the whole city was decorated with the dazzling light of high technology, hidden under this brilliance was an illusory and empty skeleton. Everything was nothing more than out-of-control capital operating in an empty shell.

At this moment, Matrix spoke again. "Who told us that we took off our pants to fart? The people in Metropolis are not all dead machines. Their existence is still valuable. The existence of Metropolis is a fuse to prevent the omnic crisis."

"Metropolis is full of people. What does this have to do with the Omnic Crisis?" Just as Sun Jack was speaking, Tapai appeared in the distance between the two of them and looked at them silently.

Matrix took a puff of the cigarette in his hand. "Think about it, there is competition between companies. If there was no Metropolis, what would the companies compete with each other for? AI and automation, wouldn't they end up going back to the old ways of the last era? But with Metropolis, things are different. Companies are starting to compete with prosthetics and genetic modification."

When Sun Jieke heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He looked at Matrix seriously and thought to himself, "What does she mean by this? Is she secretly reminding me?"

Seeing that the other party was looking at him, Matrix reached his right hand wrapped in black silk into Sun Jack's windbreaker and slid it slowly. "Where do you think your genetic abilities come from? Isn't it safer to roll these than roll AI intelligence? Zizhan?"

Hearing this, Sun Jie Ke immediately understood that the other party was not reminding him, she was just hinting that his abilities came from Sun Zizhan.

But she miscalculated. For her now, who she was in the past was not important at all. What she would do in the future was the most important thing.

"Look, Metropolis is still very valuable. People like you can delete your memory and run to this big amusement park to have fun."

Hearing this, Sun Jie Ke sneered and thought to himself, "Not only that, we can also make a live-action TV series, turn it into IP, and sell peripherals to make a lot of money."

He didn't know if the Holy Grail had any other uses for the metropolis, but even if there were, it wouldn't be surprising at all.

"Thank you for telling me this." Sun Jie Ke lit another cigarette and started smoking.

"You're welcome." Matrix said, and came over directly, put his hand under Sun Jack's clothes, and stroked every inch of his strong abdominal muscles.

Sun Jieke was about to stop him, but he was held down by the other party. "Don't move. I'll leave after I'm done."

"Is the value of my existence that I am used for your pleasure?" Sun Jack asked in her ear.

"Haha, is it not possible? Don't worry, I'll pay for it." The next second, Sun Jack's system received a voice prompt of 200 million Dogecoins.

"In a place like this?" Sun Jieke looked at the people coming and going on the Statue Street. "That's what makes it exciting!" When Sun Jieke heard the excitement in the other person's words, he seemed to understand what this woman's sexual fetish was.

Seeing that the other person's hands were getting more and more obscene, Sun Jieke directly held her down and turned the 200 million back. "Let's talk about it later. I'm not in the mood now."

"Why are you not in the mood?" Matrix tilted his head and looked at Sun Jack, "Is it because I don't have three mouths now, so I'm not sexy anymore?"

The next second, the two sides of Matrix's cheeks split open, and three tongues with hot steam and transparent liquid emerged from them, teasingly hooking the tip of their tongues at Sun Jack.

"Sorry." Sun Jack leaned back slightly.

"If you're tired, we can switch bodies. You lie down and I'll move."

Sun Jie Ke was troubled by the other party's sudden action, but he didn't want to offend this woman too much at the moment. It was not easy to find a Holy Grail person with whom he could communicate normally, and he was hoping to get more details about the Holy Grail from her.

Just when Sun Jack was thinking about how to get along with the Matrix next, he saw Ta Pai coming over.

"What is this guy doing here?" Sun Jack was a little confused.

Just as Sun Jack was thinking this, Tapai nodded to Sun Jack first, then turned his head towards Matrix. "Mom!"

Sun Jieke almost vomited blood when he heard this, and quickly restrained him. "Fuck! What are you doing!"

"My friend Lao Liu told me that as long as I call this woman mom, I can get the money. (^_^)"

"Do you have any shame? Where's your moral integrity?!"

"I'm a robot, I don't have that kind of thing." After whispering this to Sun Jack, Tapai stretched out his right hand towards the matrix. "Please give me money, thank you!"

"Haha, this little guy is really interesting. Okay, I'll give you 100 million Dogecoins." As the chip behind Matrix's ear flashed slightly, Tapai received it instantly.

"!" A big exclamation mark appeared on Tapai's screen, "You actually gave it to me!?"

After getting the benefit, Ta Pai immediately thought of his master, "What are you standing there for! Jack! Hurry up and shout! This makes a lot more money than being a mercenary!"

Sun Jack didn't shout, but someone else did. As this information was made public on the company channel, a large group of people gathered around.

They were like a group of hungry chicks in a bird's nest, their cries of longing rising and falling one after another. "Mom! Mom!! Mom loves me!"

Sun Jieke was so angry when he saw this that he was shaking all over. "Do you still have any moral integrity?"

Hearing this, Hanks stuck his head out from the crowd and said with disdain, "Bah, we have no moral integrity? Do you think we didn't see it? She was touching you down there with her hand just now! It's better for us to trade our moral integrity for money than for you to trade your chastity for money!"
