I'm the King of Wage Earners in Lobotomy City

Page 3

"Of course, but I'm just an intern."

Do not suppress your anger and secretly look at the business card of your employer.

Congratulations on joining the Iron Brotherhood!

[Acquired a talent for working: Cyborg]

[Description: Flesh and blood are weak, machinery ascends!]

[Effect 1: Your compatibility with prosthetics is greatly improved, and you will not experience rejection.]

[Effect 2: You gain cyborg modification technology]

There are actually two effects. Does this mean that the more powerful the organization he works for, the stronger his talent for working will be?

Du Jue couldn't even imagine what kind of powerful abilities he would gain by working for Lobotomy Corporation, the World Wings. Maybe he could just transform into an Abnormal Being and wipe out all these scum.

"Okay, it's time to move."

He used Ikus's head to write the Brotherhood of Steel's name in blood on the floor, then told the three to leave.

As Du Jue hurried along, he looked up at the three bronze-colored figures ahead of him. Strange knowledge flooded his mind, and he immediately saw at least eighteen defects in their prosthetic bodies.

From a professional point of view, this is all dressed in rags!

The fact that the energy device on the chest not only lacks additional armor but also has a perforated design for heat dissipation speaks volumes.

"This knowledge is surprisingly useful."

He stopped looking down at the bracelet and discovered that his powerful cyborg modification technology had made him a mechanical master, making it easy for him to crack the bracelet.

Now all he needs are the tools to immediately unravel this deadly contraption.

"Cat-cat-cat."

Du Jue, regaining his senses, realized they had arrived at the stronghold.

The place was littered with garbage, and all sorts of weeds and vines covered the walls and floors. A black and white cat was sleeping in a pile of hay.

"Um, guys, is this the Brotherhood's temporary base?"

Both Ai and Ai went to feed the cats excitedly, but only Ai, who was lying on the sofa, answered him.

"This is the house we used to share. It hasn't been cleaned since the body was modified to look like a prosthetic body. These plants are quite nice."

"That damn landlord actually thought this was garbage, so I buried it here as compost, which is a way of making use of waste."

Avoid looking at the raised mound of earth in the middle of the living room, where a wooden board is placed as a coffee table.

The initial joy of joining the company quickly faded as Du Jue realized that his situation within the Brotherhood was extremely dangerous; he was merely a tool for selling commissions.

They might use the money to their advantage and make use of themselves.

Witnessing just two deaths made Du Jue realize that this was not a cool, fictional world from a game, but the real world where Kaji died!

Whether for Kaji or for himself, no matter what means he uses, he will become the pinnacle of the city!

Having figured out my life goals, Du Jue watched the three Iron Men sitting on the sofa happily feeding cat treats and immediately realized that she was isolated.

This is a very bad thing. The Brotherhood of Steel is a ruthless gang that just killed more than a dozen people.

"I admire you!"

"Why are you suddenly yelling?"

Ao De was annoyed that his reverie had been interrupted, and the other two also raised their combat prosthetics with displeasure.

However, their refusal to shed tears still surprised them.

"I heard that Lobotomy Corporation once did an experiment where they put people from the back alleys in a race in the snow."

"But what they recorded was not time, but whether people in the back alley would take off their layers of warm clothing to lighten their load."

"Lobotomy Corporation designated those who had stripped naked to arrive as the experimental group, while the others served as the control group, and ultimately made an astonishing discovery!"

Du Jue spoke vividly, his longing for the city's wings captivating the tin men.

"What did you discover?"

"Five years later, the experimental group all achieved great success, and most of them moved into the Nest City."

"This experiment shows that to gain something in the city, you must first lose it!"

The three suddenly realized what was happening, which caused the cow-and-cow cat to fall off.

"Ever since I first heard about the Brotherhood of Steel, I've held you in high esteem."

"No matter how much the workshop guarantees it, is there really no risk in full-body cybernetic surgery? This is a potentially fatal modification surgery!"

Even the leader's gaze towards Du Jue changed; no one in the city had ever understood and recognized them like this before.

Everyone is fighting with each other, leaving no room for self-pity, let alone caring about others.

"But you all possess the awareness of loss, and that is the spirit of the city!"

"I can't help but ask, where else can one rise above others?"

"That's why I'm staying here even as an intern."

“I am not here to beg or ask for anything, but to sincerely learn from you.”

Touching his mechanical hand, he realized that he actually possessed the urban spirit certified by Lobotomy Corporation.

"Wait, wait a minute, you're not trying to brush off the whole thing about selling the commission, are you?"

As soon as money was mentioned, the three of them immediately switched back to their previous state.

Du Jue inwardly cursed these tough guys as heartless, but outwardly revealed his resentment and eagerness at having his loyalty questioned.

"Loyalty is an essential virtue for me as an intern!"

"Don't worry, I'll contact the firm right now."

What's the point of contacting them?!

How could anyone possibly know which firm acquired other clients? Besides, capable firms wouldn't bother with him anyway.

Even glancing at him would make this firm look low-class.

The bloodstains on the chainsaw, not yet wiped clean, served as a reminder to prevent his possible tragic end.

He hesitated before speaking, trying to avoid saying anything.

"Don't-don't talk about interns like that. I'll just go with him. I think you should set a good example as seniors."

"Come here, let's pet this cat. We adopted it from our landlord."

4run Office

"Cat-cat still prefers to be petted by a fleshy hand. You pet me for me, the prosthetic body has gaps that can easily trap fur."

The other two were touched even as they watched as Huiyi handed the cow-patterned cat to Du Jue.

To be honest, this was the first time they had been admired and regarded as seniors in their studies.

Du Jue accepted the cat with feigned trepidation, but instead of being overwhelmed with gratitude for the three's initial approval, he uttered a string of auspicious words.

He wondered to himself if his eloquence was actually so good, perhaps it was an added bonus from his natural talent for being a good person.

"Have all the documents been checked? I need to confirm the type and quantity of the entrustment."

"You can probably understand that some low-quality commissions may not sell."

The moment money was mentioned, Ai immediately piled all the documents in his bag in front of Du Jue, staring at Du Jue expectantly.

I should avoid looking at the other person's greedy appearance; if they found out I was lying, they'd probably skin me alive.

"The pay for tasks like finding pets, unclogging drains, and exterminating rats in shops is very low."

"Is it possible that they can't be sold?!"

"Not really, but the bulk of the commission will definitely go to someone else, otherwise no one would want to accept these low-quality commissions."

"No, it's fine. As long as we get paid, that's all that matters. We can just raid a few more agencies. It's all the rage in gangs lately anyway."

Even the electronic voice of the swan carried a joyful tone; for her, as long as she could earn money, she wasn't afraid of hard work.

The other two were also impressed with Du Jue, never expecting to actually find such a talented person.

"Wait until I pay off the loan for the prosthetic body upgrade, then I'll get a high-end prosthetic body. Right now, I can't even taste the flavor of black tea."

"This-this is nothing, we've saved on food and endorphin expenses."

It seems that the attitude of the people of the region towards cessation has improved considerably, influenced by the influence of the people of the region.

He stared blankly at the bracelet Du Jue was wearing for a while.

"How about we take the syringe off the hook? We shouldn't waste the high-purity endorphins inside."

"Anyway, he's one of us now."

Upon hearing this, Du Jue was overjoyed.

Although he has the skill to remove the bracelet, he still needs professional tools; removing it by hand could potentially lead to his own death.

Besides, once discovered, even a fool would know he's trying to escape.

However, Du Jue immediately noticed that both Hui and Ao were looking at Hui, who had not responded for a long time. It seemed that the leader still had not accepted him.

This is really difficult!

"loyalty!"

"This is a trial. Only after I complete all the commissions and receive the money will I be qualified to remove the bracelet and become a full-fledged employee!"

"Without the awareness to risk my life first, how could I possibly possess the shining urban spirit of my predecessors!"

The inferior prosthetics caused the three Brotherhood members to stutter and even experience a slight decline in intelligence, but they also knew that no one in the city would willingly give their life for someone else.

At this moment, even the money-obsessed Ai stared blankly at Du Jue.

This feeling of being needed, this feeling of being worshipped, is unprecedented in the lonely and indifferent city.

Honestly, if I were Du Jue, I would never have refused to take off the bracelet.

"Okay, okay, no way. You can join us as long as you get the money."

"No one will refuse a guy who has the talent to make money."

“We’ll give you a loan for prosthetic body modifications. They’re not the best, but they’ll be enough to get by around here.”

I suppressed my initial excitement, finally receiving a definite promise from the other party.

Once he manages to get a permanent position, the value of this small gang will be completely squeezed out, and then he can turn around and report it to the association.

Don't be fooled by his eloquent words; he's eaten so much of this kind of flatbread that he can tell the saltiness just by smelling it.

Du Jue will never forget the way Kaji cried silently; in the city, the only person he can trust is this dead man!

Cuckoo!

The exciting scene was interrupted by the constant growling of a hungry stomach.

Back alley.

A portion of fried meat of unknown origin was placed in a paper bag.

He handed it to Du Jue.

The two were on their way to sell their commission, and pedestrians gave them way. Even the two young men with buzz cuts who were fighting waited until the whistle had passed before continuing their fight.

Du Jue understood that this was the power of the Brotherhood of Steel, a reputation built on countless lives, and the path he himself had embarked on.

"Eat it while it's hot, it's a pity I can't taste it anymore."

"Thank you, senior. By the way, do you usually have your prosthetic bodies maintained at a workshop?"

The workshop is an organization in the city that specializes in supplying weapons.

"Go there when it's almost broken down, after all, maintenance is quite expensive, and all the money we managed to get from the corpses has been taken by them."

The 鏮鍶錔 had many complaints about this and refused to entertain the idea.

He's a master in the field of cyborg modification!

"Do you feel mentally sluggish and sensor signals become a bit blurry after fighting for a long time?"
