Chapter 8: Song 6PUS
Jack never expected that the owner of the cybernetic limb was actually alive.
"He's not dead?" Tapai, looking surprised, was about to raise its gun but was stopped by Jack. "Can't you be less intelligent?"
Taking advantage of this brief opportunity, the guy with the caved-in skull hastily spoke, "Save me! Get me out of here! I'll give you 30 @Coins as a reward!"
Hearing this, Jack, who was about to leave, looked the guy up and down and started to calculate in his mind.
Getting out would definitely require money, and in such a situation, strength in numbers mattered. Additionally, this person was a local, which could be beneficial for them.
Moreover, Jack had just used this guy’s blood to keep himself alive.
"Only 30? Is your life worth that little? It's really hard for me to save you for that amount."
"Bro, it’s @Coin. If someone tries to mine them online, do you know how long it will take?"
After thinking for a couple of seconds, Jack pulled Tapai to the side. "What are @Coins? Are they really worth that much?"
"Yeah, @Coins are a decentralized cryptocurrency here, a mainstream currency. According to the current market price, 30 @Coins can buy a starter-level super hover car."
Hearing this, Jack gained a new understanding of the so-called @Coins.
"Then try to see if you can heal him. If he can regain mobility, we'll take him along. If he can't move, we can't take along dead weight," Jack instructed Tapai.
"Alright." Tapai nodded and approached the person.
As Tapai's sensory lines pierced into the person's body and swiftly traversed, the guy lying on the ground, previously unable to move, started to twitch slightly.
"Hey asshole, your heart has been pierced by a bullet, and the implanted auxiliary ventricle pump can't sustain power, so that's why you can't move."
Immediately, Jack saw this guy with the caved-in head angrily cursed, "Damn it, they even dared to use black market parts for the implants in my body. Just you wait!"
"Caved-in Head, can you move now? If you can, let's hurry; this place isn't safe," Jack said, listening to the increasingly close gunfire.
"Wait, just a moment." The guy used his one hand to tidy his dirty hair, pressed something on his black jacket, and then a virtual screen popped up in front of him.
Before Jack could understand what was happening, the guy began speaking. "Hahaha, Sorry for the wait guys, your host, Song 6PUS is back again. I just passed out for a while earlier, but now the live stream continues!"
The screen floating in mid-air started displaying various texts and emojis, engaging with Song 6PUS' audience.
"A live stream?" Jack was astonished; he had thought the guy was a mercenary because of the gunfight earlier. He didn't expect this person's profession to be a live streamer.
Swoosh! A bullet whizzed by from above, prompting Jack to crouch down. "A live stream? You're here for a live stream?" He said, incredulously.
Song 6PUS shifted his gaze from the screen and proudly displayed his golden tooth. "Of course! When something this big drops from the sky, do you know how much attention it gets online? In this day and age, attention equals money! If you catch it, whether you're a person or a dog, you can get rich!"
"Do you know what traffic is? Traffic is like the flowing virtual gold!"
Jack couldn't comprehend it. If he hadn't saved this guy, he would have been dead. What use was money if he lost his life?
Jack gestured to Tapai, indicating they should head in the direction with fewer sounds of gunfire.
Fortunately, others were engaged in a fight at the moment, providing some safety for the three of them.
As they walked, Song 6PUS continued talking incessantly to his live stream audience.
"Look, look! Isn't the guy with the rocket launcher on the left Snake(老蛇) from the Graffiti Gang(涂鸦帮)? They're in a big brawl with the Hyena(豺狗) boy."
"Adding to the previous conflict in the subway tunnel, they have now thoroughly got into a serious feud."
"Oh? Thanks, Snake, for the donation of 0.25 @Coins! Haha, they're in the midst of a battle but still find time to watch my live stream? Touching!"
"Do you know them well?" Jack asked on the side.
Song 6PUS confidently raised his thumb. "Of course, bro. I make my living on the streets; I know everything about the street."
Hearing this, Jack, after a moment of contemplation, asked, "Do you know a bald guy who can turn invisible?"
As Jack recalled the guy who nearly killed him and severed his left arm with disdain, he couldn't help but clench his new metallic limb.
He made a gaping hole in his stomach and severed his arm into three sections. This situation couldn’t simply be brushed aside.
"He's bald? There are tons of bald guys in the Metropolis(大都会). Any other distinctive features?"
"Yeah, he has an inverted cross branding below his neck."
"Sounds like Satan(撒旦)'s Boy. They seem to be in the Teuton District(条顿区). I don't usually mingle there. Oh? Wait, someone in my live stream knows him."
Song 6PUS lowered his head slightly and started reading the information in the live chat. "His name is Kurt_v1 Roy, a minor leader of Satan, managing around ten guys. I've heard that his cloaking device is military-grade, very powerful."
"Is that so? Thanks for the information." Jack silently noted this piece of information, preparing to settle scores later.
"Oh?!" Suddenly excited while looking at the screen, Song 6PUS exclaimed, "Thanks, Kurt Roy, for gifting me a rocket! Thank you, thank you!"
The next moment, Jack felt a sudden brightness before his eyes. Something bright was rapidly flying in from a distance.
As he instinctively raised his hand, a red-headed rocket shot from his palm and collided with something flying in from a distance, causing an extremely powerful explosion that directly sent the three individuals flying out.
Song 6PUS, soaked in water, looked up and cursed at the live stream. "Fuck! You Son of bitch, you sent a real one!"
As Jack gritted his teeth in pain and stood up once again, he noticed a group of people slowly closing in through the rain, with the leader being the bald guy who had previously attempted to kill him.
At that moment, the guy looked furious and pointed his gun directly at Jack's head. "Motherfucker! Heard you were inquiring about me in a retard’s live stream? What? You want revenge? Who the hell do you think you are?"
It was quite obvious that he caught up because of Song 6PUS's livestream.
"Damn it!" At this moment, Jack was about to go crazy. He directly aimed at the bald guy and pulled the trigger.
While firing continuously, he angrily shouted, "Can't you take this fight seriously?! Why are you all still watching a live stream at this time!?"
"That’s none of your business. I can watch whatever I want! Hell I’m even watching p*rn, right now!" While saying that, he tossed a hand grenade towards Jack.
