Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 31 Technology

"Your good--!"

The boss's penetrating voice interrupted Song Shi's thoughts.

"Oh, thank you."

Song Shi came back to his senses, picked up the bag, opened it and started eating.

The palm-sized hot dogs were brushed with a layer of sauce of unknown name, which tasted sour and sweet. The two burgers were quite filling, but the taste was not very good. The pickled canned vegetables were too salty, and the synthetic meat in the middle had a sandy texture.

But for a fast food meal with only twenty or so credit points, you can't ask for too much.

Besides, this is already considered to be a higher-end street stall.

There is another stall not far away, where the roasted white maggots sold are a truly cheap snack.

White maggots cultivated in concentrated form on vertical farms are the most common source of protein for the poor in this era.

After certain genetic adjustments and targeted selection, this kind of white maggots can grow up to 20 centimeters in length. They are plump and round, rich in high-quality protein, and can be stably marketed in 20 days. Whether it is used to make canned synthetic meat or eaten directly, it is an excellent choice.

The technology developed by Pure White Creatures was rated as one of the "Outstanding Technological Innovation Achievements of the Year" that year.

There are disadvantages too. First, the taste is very bad, like chewing wax. Second, this thing is a genetically modified organism. In order to increase the individual net weight, speed up the market release, and seize the purchase share of the season, farms have to use all kinds of hormones indiscriminately. If people eat too much, there may be problems.

But no matter what, it's better than starving to death.

This is a job specifically provided by the company. It’s okay for everyone to curse about it, but we still need to be grateful when we mention this.

But Song Shi didn't really want to eat.

It’s not that I dislike it or anything, it’s just that I ate too much of this stuff in the past, so I’m a bit wary of it.

Whether it is the original body in this life or the self in the previous life——

In his previous life, Song Shi was a member of the [Pan-Eastern Continent Federation], a place nominally led by the "Upper Council" but in reality undercurrents were surging among the various states within it.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Song Shi.

In his previous life, he was also born in an orphanage without a father or mother, but that orphanage was far less warm than the Romond Orphanage in this life.

I was kicked out when I was fifteen and had to make a living on my own.

Meanwhile, because the Pan-Eastern Continental Federation introduced the "white maggot cultivation" industry, the director of the welfare home, in order to embezzle funds, made them eat white maggot meals for more than half a month, three meals a day.

It's hard to bear.

So, Song Shi really doesn't want to touch this thing.

“Oh, I forgot to order it chilled.”

After awakening psychic powers, the psychic's appetite will definitely increase.

Song Shi quickly finished his hot dog and hamburger. After taking a sip of water, he suddenly remembered that he forgot to cool them down.

This low-quality drink, which is made purely of pigments and saccharin mixed with water, tastes very astringent when not chilled.

Song Shi shook his head, sighed, and drank the rest in one breath.

He checked the time. It was past eight in the evening.

It's time to find a new place to live.

He only had a few hundred dollars left and could not hold out for much longer, and the deadline for his pledge, [Blood and Fire], was before the nineteenth day.

In other words, he had to find a way to make money and activate his second psychic skill as soon as possible, while also looking for an opportunity to fulfill his vow of revenge - if he wanted Daotu to be satisfied with the person he wanted, the person had to be at least at Vidani's level.

"Looking at it this way, the mission is quite intense."

Song Shi whispered to himself, but a hint of joy emerged in the depths of his eyes.

There are no difficulties, and the road is easy to follow, but it is difficult to see the scenery at the top of the mountain.
Song Shi slowly began to laugh.

——It is precisely because of the difficulties and obstacles that the climb is worth it!
Only this kind of thing can give me real motivation and make me excited.

······
After walking on the somewhat dark street for a while, Song Shi suddenly discovered the situation.

It was just a casual glance. Behind the rusty road barrier not far away, in an open-air parking lot scattered with various garbage and overgrown with weeds, there were two figures next to an old pickup truck.

One of them was squatting by the car door, groping for something, while the other was standing nearby, looking around nervously.

The moment he saw this scene, Song Shi realized that he had encountered a car theft scene.

Although he didn't see it up close, based on Song Shi's experience, the other party's method of stealing the car should be the simplest way of picking the lock.

As for using network technology to open the car door with just a thought and take over all aspects of the vehicle system - no matter what, Song Shi didn't think that the two people opposite him would be "domain hackers."

And the next moment, the man standing noticed Song Shi's gaze.

They happened to see a guide to stealing cars circulating on the Internet and thought it had great potential, so they decided to give it a try.

This was their first time stealing a car, and both men were very nervous - the number of patrol officers deployed by the Security Bureau in the Deep Moss District was small, and the infrastructure including surveillance was in disrepair, so the deterrent effect of the law here was not strong.

If they were caught, it would be only natural that an arm would be cut off.

So, even though Song Shi’s gaze had just fallen over, the other party had already noticed it.

The air froze for a moment.

The man shuddered, but then, thinking that his companion would be able to pry open the car door soon, he felt a surge of courage in his heart.

You can do it yourself.

He muttered to himself, you know, before making the decision, he re-watched the "Shaun the Gangster" trilogy in one go! Immersive simulation movies! I learned a lot of technology!
Imagining that what he was holding was not a half-sliced baseball bat, but Sean's iconic symbol, the retro automatic revolver and suspended Ferris wheel, he imitated Sean in the movie and said in his own imaginary magnetic voice:
"——Don't mind your own business. You didn't see anything. Get out of here."

"Is it?"

Song Shi spoke with interest.

Looking at the two obviously underage guys in front of him, he sighed that the Deep Moss District was truly a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, and at the same time lamented that his luck today was a bit strange. It had only been a short time and he encountered such a thing again.

The other person's expression froze.

I found that this passerby was standing still, just looking at me.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked at his companion, and found that both of them had sweat on their foreheads.

"How to do?"

"how could I know!"

"It was you who first proposed it!"

"Didn't you agree with it at that time?"

"How about running right away?"

The two tried to communicate with their eyes.

Just as Song Shi was about to say something, he suddenly turned his head and looked in one direction.

The next moment, a figure walked out from the darkness not far away, and a voice interrupted.

"What are you doing?"
