Seeing Zhang Ze and others behind Aji, Wang Ge asked: "Are these people your friends?"
"Yes, cousin."
Aji nodded and introduced both parties.
Brother Wang opened his arms and said enthusiastically: "Since you are Aji's friends, I will naturally help, but whether you can gain a foothold here depends on you."
He pointed at the corpses and mechanical prosthetics around him and said, "You have also seen the situation here. We work as cleaners, specializing in recycling those corpses."
"Then dismantle all the valuable mechanical prostheses from above and hand them over to specialized recyclers. You can make a small fortune."
"If high-end products, such as the latest SAN-III chips, can be found in corpses, we can all eat meat this year!"
Seeing that the faces of Little Princess Money and Little Bunny Moonlight turned pale, Brother Wang spread his hands and said: "I know that this bloody and cruel job is not suitable for you girls. I can introduce you to other jobs. ,Are you interested?"
"What job?"
Xiaoniao Yiren immediately asked. Dismembering a corpse and removing its parts was indeed beyond her psychological ability.
"Selling your soul to accompany guests is what we call a 'spiritual companion' here."
Listening to the novel terms coming from Brother Wang's mouth, everyone was confused. They didn't know what a spiritual companion was.
Seeing that Zhang Ze and others didn't understand, Brother Wang had to explain: "This is a very popular profession in the City of Dreams. Both men and women can do it, and they make a lot of money, but they have to suffer some mental torture."
He pointed to his head and said: "Connect your brains with the guests' brains, and serve the guests in the spiritual world."
"To put it simply, it means meeting all the requirements of the guests. For example, if the guests want to experience the pleasure of fish and water, you have to cooperate."
"Guests need to vent their emotions, hit, curse, or even kill others, and you have to cooperate."
"In short, if you make your customers comfortable and satisfy their spirit, you can make money."
Brother Wang said it in an understatement, but Zhang Ze and others felt horrified when they heard it.
It is true that this job is not physically tiring, but the mental torture can drive people crazy!
This is like asking you to experience how the deceased would feel when they were killed in a murder case. Who can a normal person endure this?
"Forget it! I'll just work as a cleaner!"
Several girls turned pale and shook their heads. They didn't want to become other people's playthings.
Zhang Ze, Dragon King and others also did not allow their female companions to be mentally tainted by others.
"Oh well."
Brother Wang shrugged and said with regret: "Spiritual companions earn more than ten times more than us cleaners. Since you are unwilling, there is nothing we can do."
He clapped his hands and said, "Although you and Aji are friends, apart from work, you have to rely on yourself for other things. For example, you have to figure out your own solutions for food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc."
"In the City of Dreams, lazy people can't survive!"
"Don't worry, as long as you work hard, I won't give you any less money."
Brother Wang turned to the man next to him whose eyes had been modified, and ordered: "Simon, take them to the hacker Liu to get their identity information."
"Okay, Brother Wang."
Simon stood up, and everyone noticed that there was a mechanical tail installed behind this man, with a sharp barb on it.
"Let's go, newbies, go outside and take my car."
Zhang Ze originally wanted to ask about clearing the stone gate, but seeing that Brother Wang had already turned around to get busy, he had to give up temporarily.
The group of people followed Simon and walked out of the warehouse.
Aji comforted everyone: "Don't worry. Although my cousin's job is in a gray area, it shouldn't be illegal. He won't cheat us."
Zhang Ze and others just looked at him speechlessly. Is it illegal? Can Brother Wang tell him the truth?
But now there is no better choice, we can only take one step at a time.
Simon's car was also a truck, not much better than Uncle Chai's stowaway car. When everyone walked into the back compartment, the strong smell of blood hit their faces.
"Wow, what does this smell like?" Moonlight Rabbit covered his nose and frowned.
Zhang Ze felt something stepped on under his feet. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was an ear!
He immediately guessed the purpose of this car: to transport corpses!
In order not to cause panic among the girls, Zhang Ze quietly kicked the ear into the corner.
The car started, and Simon shouted to everyone: "Hold on, I like to drive fast, because the people in my car are dead people, hahaha!"
With a kick of the accelerator, the car sped out, overtaking three cars in a row, and entered the highway.
Ten minutes later, Simon brought Zhang Ze and others to an old apartment building. The people living here were all low-level workers in the City of Dreams. They were only a little better than homeless people, but they were also on the food and clothing line. struggle.
Hacker Liu who forged identity information was hiding here. According to Simon, this man was a very powerful hacker when he was young and was respectfully called Hacker Liu.
But now that he is getting older, he doesn't have enough energy, so he switched to forging identity information. Although he earns less, it is much easier and the risk is low, so he can retire with peace of mind.
After knocking on the door of Hacker Liu's room, Hacker Liu began to work after confirming that no one was targeted by the police.
"Lie on it."
Hacker Liu pointed to a dirty iron bed and asked Zhang Ze and others: "Which one of you will come first?"
"I'll come first!" The giant god volunteered and was the first to lie on the bed.
Hacker Liu inserted a data cable as thick as his forearm into the interface on the back of the giant god's head and said: "Don't be nervous, young man, relax."
"good……"
As soon as the giant god finished speaking, he heard a buzzing in his head and the person lost consciousness.
"Titan!"
Everyone was surprised and gathered around them. Simon stopped them and said, "I told you not to be nervous. This is normal operation!"
"Hacker Liu must sneak into his brain and write the identification information of the residents of Dream City. This process must put his brain into a sleep state, otherwise, his brain is likely to be damaged when writing. .”
Everyone suddenly understood and watched quietly as hacker Liu operated on the giant god's brain.
About ten minutes later, hacker Liu unplugged the data cable from the back of his head, woke up the giant god, and said: "It's done. The resident card is valid for 6 months. Remember to come to me to renew it when it expires."
"Next!"
Everyone stepped forward one after another and finished writing in all the identity information. It was already six o'clock in the evening.
Simon used electronic transfer to transfer 100,000 yuan to the hacker Liu, and when he was about to leave with everyone,
Hacker Liu stopped everyone and asked: "Have your brains been modified?"
"Renovation?"
Everyone was stunned and shook their heads: "No."
"This is strange." Hacker Liu pinched his chin and said with confusion on his face: "I found an uncertified program in your brain? And it is still locked."
Zhang Ze and others looked at each other, they had no idea what hacker Liu was talking about.
"To put it simply, someone has installed a strange electronic program in your brain. This program can bring about changes in your body, but I don't know the specific changes."
Hacker Liu spread his hands and said: "If you want to unlock it, you can buy a brain chip. This thing can help you unlock it."
Zhang Ze suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked: "Does that program have a name?"
"Yes, it's a weird name."
He pointed at Zhang Ze and said: "The name of the program in your mind is [Summoning]. It sounds like a kind of magic. It's very strange. Someone actually named the program after a magic name. I don't know if it is real." You can summon something."
Hacker Liu didn't understand the meaning of the program's name, but Zhang Ze knew it.
It turns out that his summoning technique is a program in his mind!
"Just now, hacker Liu said that to unlock the program, you must buy a brain chip..." His eyes lit up, and a flash of excitement flashed in his heart: "I finally know how to use the skills!"
With skills, Zhang Ze and the others can gain a foothold in this world and protect themselves when encountering danger.
"Excuse me, where can I buy brain chips?" Zhang Ze asked hacker Liu, who pointed at him: "I sell them here, but the cheapest one costs 1,500 yuan a piece. You need at least three The piece can be solved.”
"How about it? Young man, do you want to buy it?"
"Well...I don't have any money now. I'll come back to you when I make enough money."
Hacker Liu didn't take it seriously and said: "Yes, you are always welcome!"
Thanking hacker Liu, everyone followed Simon and left the apartment.
"Brother Wang has arranged a place for you. You can stay here this month, but you have to pay the rent next month yourself."
Simon drove the truck and sent everyone to another residence. The environment was not good and could barely accommodate people.
After settling them in, Simon returned to the warehouse.
"Tomorrow is our first day living in the City of Dreams. Friends, have a good rest and start working hard tomorrow!"
Aji is full of fighting spirit, and living here is his lifelong dream, but for Zhang Ze and others, they are just passers-by.
There was no words for a night, and the next morning, everyone was awakened by Aji's hurried knock on the door.
"Friends, get up quickly, we are alive!"
A group of people followed him and ran downstairs, where Simon's truck was waiting: "Two gangs were fighting on our territory. I heard that many people died. Brother Wang asked us to hurry up and get ahead of the scavengers. Recover all the corpses, otherwise, all the hair will be gone!”
Zhang Ze and others immediately got into the car, and before they could stand still, the car sped away.
Unfortunately, during the morning rush hour, the car was stuck on the road. Simon honked the horn hard and cursed, but it was of no use. The traffic was motionless.
Out of boredom, he started chatting with Zhang Ze and others.
"You guys are just over 20 years old, right?" Simon lit a cigarette, blew out a long puff of smoke, and said, "I think back then, when I came to the City of Dreams, I was younger than you."
"Business was very good at that time. We could travel all over the city and pick corpses at will. We didn't like ordinary junk goods. We only picked high-end goods and dismantled them and sold them for money."
"That's when Brother Wang and I formed our own team and monopolized business in several regions."
"It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. The Ancient Snake Company took over the entire Dream City. Their senior executives had a huge appetite and divided the entire city into fifty blocks. They put them up for sale. If you want to do business in a certain area, you have to Pay the money."
He lamented: “We pay more and more money every year, but the money we earn is less and less every year. It’s almost too much to bear.”
Listening to his complaints, Yiye Zhiqiu was a little curious and asked: "In this case, why does Brother Wang recruit us to join his team?"
If it is really like what Simon said, Brother Wang's income is getting lower and lower now, and he only needs to accept Aji alone. There is no need to keep Zhang Ze and the others.
After all, if there are more monks than there is food, if there is one more person, they will have to share more money.
"The situation is indeed difficult now, but Brother Wang and I have discussed that in the City of Dreams, if we don't advance, we will retreat! We must not accept our fate, we must find ways to expand our territory and make more money!"
Simon took a deep drag on his cigarette, popped the cigarette butt out of the window, and said, "So we are going to join forces with another team of cleaners to fight for the right to operate six blocks."
"So, we need enough manpower now, and we will need to recruit more people over time."
While talking, the traffic finally moved, and Simon immediately started the car and drove to the location of the accident.
Soon, the car arrived at the place, which was a dark alley. The entrance was cordoned off, and two police officers were waiting there.
Simon parked the car at the entrance of the alley, got out of the car, and talked with the two sheriffs.
"Why did you come here? We delayed it for you for twenty minutes. Remember to come earlier next time,"
One of the sheriffs took a cigarette from Simon's hand, and Simon smiled apologetically and said, "The damn highway is blocked again. Otherwise, we would have found it, and we would have troubled you both."
As he spoke, he electronically transferred money to another sheriff.
Seeing that the money had been accounted for, the two sheriffs nodded with satisfaction and warned: "Hurry up and work, the scavenger will be here in twenty minutes."
"Yes Yes."
Simon bowed repeatedly, turned to Zhang Ze and others and shouted: "Don't be stunned, get to work! Check the corpse inside. If it is a whole corpse, take it away directly. If it has become a broken corpse, remove the metal parts." Pick up the parts you want and don’t want the other pieces.”
Aji, Zhang Ze and others got out of the car and walked towards the depths of the alley. Suddenly, a strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of engine oil and burning rushed towards them from the alley.
What then appeared in front of them was a tragic fire scene. There were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, some of which had been smashed by guns. Internal organs and red and white things were everywhere.
Zhang Ze and others looked calm. Although the girls felt a little disgusted, they could accept it. After all, they were used to such bloody scenes.
Wearing gloves and masks, and wrapping plastic aprons around their bodies to prevent blood and oil stains from getting on them, everyone put a body into a body bag and then moved it onto the truck.
Simon sent off the Sheriff and ran over to help. Their time was just right. The scavengers arrived just after the bodies were recovered.
It turns out that the so-called scavengers are a group of robots, and the way they clean the place is to burn the bodies directly on the spot.
No wonder Brother Wang said that when the scavengers arrived, there would be no hair left.
After the work was completed, Simon drove everyone back to the factory where Wang Ge worked. Wang Ge had already been waiting outside with his people. When he saw the car stopped, he immediately stepped forward and started unloading the goods.
