The absurd game of a performance artist

Chapter 149 But I Refuse

Follow Momo on the streets of the garbage area. The narrow roads are crowded with all kinds of garbage guys. They squat in front of their houses and open their stalls, performing the most primitive barter.

People who will be reduced to such a place have basically sold out everything that can be sold, and [Status] is no exception.

In this world, physical currency is no longer in circulation, and without an ID chip bound to [identity], it is impossible to rely on [asset points] for currency transactions.

"Hey, isn't this the little inventor, Momo, who went to the garbage mountain to buy goods again?"

A greasy sound came from the side of the road.

Following the prestige, a middle-aged man with a gray complexion and slanted eyebrows sizzled an electric baton in his hand, and stepped on Momo's small cart.

Seeing the other party blocking the way, Momo touched her little hand and replied politely.

"Ah, hello, Uncle Niu!"

I saw Uncle Niu showing a wretched smile on his face, rubbing the oily channels in his fingers.

"Little Momo, should you pay the protection fee? Uncle Niu, it's also very hard for me to maintain the order here."

The high-sounding words of maintaining order are nothing more than an excuse for extortion.

In a place like the [Garbage District] where the population is constantly flowing, there are no people who can maintain order.

And something like Uncle Niu has no ability to maintain order at all.

At best, he's just a healthy gangster, and the electric shock baton in his hand can only scare little kids.

This gambling dog lost all his money in the city that never sleeps, and was reduced to a garbage area, where he blackmailed lonely and disadvantaged people like Momo to make a living like a piece of garbage.

Momo, who was asked for the protection fee, blinked her big eyes and said pitifully.

"But I already gave you this month's protection fee last week. You didn't take that metal cutting machine away."

A rubbish guy like Momo who doesn't have an ID card has no money of his own, so what the other party blackmails is naturally some tools she transformed.

Whether these tools are used by oneself or exchanged for materials, they are all valuable things.

Uncle Niu showed a fox-like light in his eyes, pointing to V behind Momo.

"Your share has been handed in, but this guy's share has not yet been handed in."

Although I don't know the specific origin of this new face, but judging from the bumpy appearance of the other party, it is obvious that he is a useless person who has been exploited to nothing.

There are basically few healthy people among the people who mixed into the garbage area. A complete body is sometimes the capital for reckless behavior.

Momo looked at V behind him, and felt that what Uncle Niu said made sense. V was picked up from the garbage mountain by himself, so he would naturally be responsible for his share of the protection fee.

Seeing the other party's foot on the small cart, Momo consciously let go of the little hand holding the handle.

This small cart is a mechanical body modified by Momo, and it is equipped with a power-assisted drive, which allows a thin person like her to push hundreds of kilograms of goods.

【Name: Children Power Stroller】

[Type: Duplicate Tool]

[Quality: Gray]

[Description: Handmade products of genius mechanic Momo, which can help frail children to carry goods easily]

[Special effects: It can easily pass through any complex terrain with less than one ton of cargo, and you don't need to use any strength when pushing, just grasp the direction]

This small cart is one of the few valuable things around her.

Just when she was about to give up the cart, the man grabbed the handle of the cart and said firmly.

"No need, I will pay for my share."

When Uncle Niu saw the man intervening suddenly, he clenched the electric baton in his hand and pretended to be fierce.

"Heh, what are you taking..."

Bang!
A gleam of blood flashed in his eyes, and he kissed the other party's greasy cheek with his powerful fist, paying the other party's due reward in such a warm way.

There was no time to dodge the meteor-like punch, and Niu Bo's body twisted 180 degrees along with the force of the punch, making close contact with the ground fiercely.

Obviously, the other party is very satisfied with the protection fee he paid, and is sharing the joy of harvest with the earth, unable to extricate himself for a long time.

Gambling dogs like Niu Bo haven't done any cranial enhancement.

Although V's body does not have the blessing of the mecha, the biological body that has been strengthened by the biological transformation project can still explode with amazing power.

The trash guys around let out a cry of surprise, and looked at this man with evil eyes with some vigilance.

Twisting his stiff wrist, V didn't care about the thing that was still shaking on the ground, and said casually to Momo.

"Let's go, it's already paid."

Momo stuck out her little tongue and glanced at Uncle Niu who was trembling on the ground, her big eyes were full of surprise.

Before meeting V, in the face of other people's requests and blackmail, she always gave and gave blindly, thinking that this would make others feel happy and she could realize the meaning of existence herself.

Therefore, the mechanical creations she assembled basically became someone else's property within a few days.

This was the first time someone taught her that there was such an option as [refusal] in the world.

But Momo still looked at Uncle Niu worriedly.

"Uncle Niu... he should be fine, right?"

Looking down at the trash on the ground, V seemed to sense something was wrong.

He bent down and took the electric shock baton from Uncle Niu's hand, and thrust the electric shock baton hard into the opponent's body with a sizzle sound.

"Hmph ah ah ah ah—"

Immediately, Uncle Niu, who was originally sluggish, immediately twitched with vigor.

With his eyes fixed slightly, the information of this stick immediately jumped into his eyes.

【Name: Ecstasy Stick】

[Type: Dungeon Weapon]

[Quality: Black]

[Description: Handmade product of genius mechanic Momo, please hold the insulating part when using it to avoid being shocked by this masterpiece]

[Special effect: After fully charged, it can release a voltage of [-] volts, easily paralyzing the enemy]

V has no doubts about his ability to see the information panel.

In this cyber world full of built-in chips and analytical prosthetics, digitization of information is very common.

Seeing the information on the panel, V feels like taking back his own things, and feels right and proper about what he has done.

From the moment he partnered with Momo, he didn't treat each other as an outsider. Since it was originally made by her, the rounding is his own.

Satisfied with the electric shock baton on his waist, V turned his head and said to Momo.

"Well, he is in good condition now, and he can continue to maintain order here. Let's go."

"Oh...then I'm relieved."

Momo clearly believes in V's words. Now in her eyes, V is a reliable adult. No matter what he says or does, he will definitely not make mistakes.

Under the horrified eyes of the trash guys, the two left the shack and came to the destination of the trip [Trash Mountain].
