"You did a good job in Dog Town."

"Hmm?"

Carl, who had just woken up, was stunned by the voice on the other end of the phone, and then his awakened brain helped him figure out who the owner of the voice was.

"Mr. Kenichi Shiro..."

It felt strange to hear someone calling me early in the morning to praise me for doing a good job in Dog Town.

"Are you free?"

Carl's words made Kenichi Shiro's breathing stagnate. He wanted to say something like a boss praising his subordinates, but because of Carl's unconventional words, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Kenichi Shiro called during the short break between when he had finished processing a batch of documents and the next batch of documents had not yet arrived. This should have been his rare rest time, but because Carl did a really good job this time, Kenichi Shiro sacrificed his rest time and chose to call to praise Carl during this break;

Based on Kenichi Shiro's previous experience, if other people heard his praise, even if they were not terrified, they would at least show basic humility and politeness. However, facing Carl, Kenichi Shiro rarely wanted to praise him sincerely, but he didn't expect that as soon as the call was connected, he was greeted with such a sentence.

Are you free?

He had just finished processing a batch of documents all night, and the next batch of documents would be shipped in paper form with strong confidentiality. How could he be free?

Kenichi Shiro felt that his head was a little dizzy with anger for a moment.

Take a deep breath, Kenichi Shiro said nothing, just hung up the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Kenichi Shiro?"

Carl, who was about to say something, felt a little confused when he heard the busy tone of the phone.

What's going on.

He received a call early in the morning and asked him kindly if he was not working overtime and if he was free, but he hung up the phone. What does that mean?

Is he just coming to praise me for completing the last task of the day and then rushing to bed?

He couldn't have been working overtime all night and didn't sleep, so he was in such a hurry to go to bed?

Weird.

After yawning, Carl looked at the time. It was 8:50 in the morning.

I got up a little late today. It was almost midnight when I came back from Dog Town yesterday. Then, because of the armored car Jack bought, I went to the Badlands and found Dakota Smith there. I temporarily stored the car with her people. It was almost four o'clock when I came back from the Badlands. Even if it was four o'clock, I had only slept for four hours and fifty minutes.

Should I continue to sleep?

This thought went around in Carl's mind and disappeared.

I woke up and got up.

I got up and checked the messages. Oliver, Jack, and V all went to the Badlands. They didn't seem to sleep. They went back to the city to buy some parts and went back to the Badlands. They left a message saying that they planned to modify the car so that it could carry goods.

Carl heard V mention this yesterday when he was sleeping, but he didn't expect that the three of them really didn't sleep all night.

Three car fanatics.

Carl: Do you know how to modify it? Don't let it explode while you're modifying it.

V: It's okay. At worst, I can just drive the Swanwestan. I've had some contact with similar things in the tribe.

The Russians left a manual yesterday. I can understand it. I just need to make some adjustments.

Carl: I don't understand cars. You guys can do whatever you want. Don't let the car explode and we be left in the Badlands and have to carry goods on foot.

Jack: Don't worry, it's very stable. I've seen this. Not only V can understand it, but even I can understand it. The Russians' things are simple, rough and practical.

Really?

I hope it won't explode by then.

After getting up, Carl spent 20 minutes making two breakfasts. He put one in the heat preservation device and left a message to T-BUG. After waking up and eating,

Carl sat at the dining table and read the messages while eating his breakfast today.

Bacon and egg sandwich made with sliced ​​bread, and a glass of orange juice, all genuine goods bought from Dog Town, really tasted a bit better than the usual breakfast.

Carl's mobile phone would receive a lot of messages a day. In addition to greetings between friends, most of them were inquiries from middlemen. As long as the middlemen knew that Carl and his team were free, they would basically ask one in the morning and one in the evening, and they were just using them like cattle and horses. Sometimes, they asked too many questions, and Carl couldn't refuse some small jobs.

I don't know if those shrewd middlemen knew that Carl's team would be bullied by this kind of soft and hard grinding.

But just finished a job yesterday, when his companions were busy modifying the car, Carl really didn't want to take some jobs alone, so he chose to refuse one by one.

It was just as I thought at the beginning. I got more jobs after I became famous, but I was asked all day whether I wanted to take jobs. It didn't seem to be much easier.

I was free today, but what should I do?

Should I go to Lao Wei to maintain my prosthesis, or go buy some Mewtwo?

Carl stepped into the elevator and inserted the face disguise chip at the same time.

This chip was obtained from Kenichi and Kazuya. It was originally intended to prevent Carl and his friends from causing a disturbance due to their appearance when they were strolling in Dog Town. After the mission was completed, Kenichi and Kazuya gave it to Carl and his friends as part of the mission reward. This thing essentially uses facial projection to change one's appearance. It is not bad to use it normally. Although it cannot deceive those who have special scanning prosthetic eyes and those who touch directly, Carl did not intend to use this prosthetic to deceive those people.

The chip is only used to avoid walking on the street and some people running away in fear when they see his face. Those who run away in fear when they see him are basically gang members or some black Chaomeng producers. Occasionally there are a few scavengers from other blocks. Carl scans and distinguishes them one by one, just like cockroaches. If you don't hit them, you will feel disgusted. If you hit them, you will feel uncomfortable all day.

Carl, who changed his appearance, did not choose any strange appearance, but still chose the appearance he had in the academy. When he was walking on the street and thinking about what he should do today, he noticed a woman who passed by him.

The woman had long chestnut hair, which fell softly on her shoulders. Her eyes were big and bright, revealing a hint of gentleness and tranquility. There was a faint blush on her cheeks and her skin was fair.

Undoubtedly, this was a beautiful woman, but it was not her face that attracted Carl's attention, but her hands.

Carl casually glanced at the hand of the woman who was wearing a dress and passed by him, and saw the traces of transformation.

That trace was a mantis knife.

He paused slightly and took a closer look.

Carl recognized the type of the mantis knife,

Higurashi Mantis Knife.

To be precise, it was Higurashi 20-13 Mantis Knife.

This mantis knife is an older model, but the quality is quite high. It is not much inferior to the best mantis knives on the market now. However, in Carl's memory, this mantis knife has a fatal flaw.

There is a difference in the interface between its neural processor and the prefrontal cortex, and this difference causes almost all of its users to become...:
