Chapter 7 007: Nuggets

[Landfill-A14 Deep Burial Area]

The further you go inside, the earlier the burial date becomes, and piles of square debris are covered in sand, gravel and blackened soil.

John reckoned he was the only visitor in recent years.

He unpacked the carbon fiber packaging.

[Equipment: Hound Excavator-α Type]

[Module Slot 1: Fine Krypton Level Action Calculation]

[Module slot 2: Jingkrypton V8 integrated system]

[Module Slot 3: [Idle]]

Its main structure is a black hexagonal prism.

Equipped with solar panels, control modules, and a multi-functional robotic arm, it is extremely maneuverable and is even known as an all-terrain device.

Jingkrypton Heavy Industry is an enterprise focusing on industry.

Obviously, this group of capital bastards from the Polytechnic Institute are pretty bad at naming. It's more like a mechanical spider than a hound.

John entered the serial number to unlock and disconnected from the Internet.

The relevant information in my mind instantly emerged, like an activated information library.

He plugged in the data cable, and after the disturbance, text immediately popped up.

[Detected equipment matches inventory drawing]

[Will it be changed under the [T05] agreement? 】

John chooses OK.

The black light in the depths of consciousness began to flicker.

The data torrent smashed through Jingkrypton Heavy Industry's Level VI firewall, and before he could react, the data on the original chip had been overwritten.

"What the hell, is the company's technology so vulnerable? What on earth is this black light!"

Clinic firewall.

Equipment protection of Jingkrypton Heavy Industry.

One is the life savings of the prosthetic doctor, and the other is the complete protection technology mastered by the company's numerous scientific research teams.

There is no difference in how quickly they are destroyed by black light.

John intuitively felt his cyberpsychosis...

A bit scary.

He took out the materials, set up the equipment, and began to perform external upgrades on it - removing the parameters of the modified components, re-adjusting the interfaces, and rearranging the wiring.

The ideas in my mind are very clear.

His eyes seemed to be able to see through the mechanical structure under the metal cover.

This set of actions flowed smoothly, as if it had been repeated countless times. Finally, the control system chip was inserted and the transformation was completed.

A new text message popped up in front of John's eyes.

【-Please rename the device-】

"Um, do you want a name?"

John scratched his head and looked at his masterpiece:
A crawling machine, the infrared scanner of the metal shell lights up, and six prosthetic legs stretch out and climb. It crawls flexibly among the ruins blocks, seeming to be looking for something.

"Then let's call it Black Spider."

[Equipment: Black Spider]

[Status: Free exploration, not connected remotely]

The black mechanical creature is still crawling.

It spirals up along the ruins pillars crushed into squares, walking freely among the collapsed ruins and steel jungles.

[Testing available materials, collecting...]

John suddenly received the news.

He walked through the garbage maze and when he got close to the signal source, he saw:

The black spider is hanging in mid-air, the cutting machine breaks open the compressed garbage, the hydraulic pliers open the gap, and then...

Pulled out a broken and rusty mechanical arm.

John raised his eyebrows.

He is in urgent need of special inhibitors.

One of the most difficult materials to produce is prosthetic limbs with residual biological data information.

Black Spider hovered for a moment, confirmed that John had picked up the dropped object, and then turned on the scanner to find the next target.

Conscious labor machine.

John took out a blank chip, connected it with black light, and swiped the data.

"It actually works!" He used the equipment he brought to edit the chip and immediately produced a new special inhibitor.

No hesitation, put it in the slot!

"Hi~ah!"

The familiar black light began to flicker. Fortunately, he was in good health this time and recovered completely after just a slight dizziness.

[Redundancy is being cleared and calibration is completed. 】

John spread his arms and felt his restored energy. He was about to praise the black spider for its usefulness when he suddenly received a new signal.

This time he deliberately stood and observed from a distance.

After Black Spider cleaned up the loot, seeing that John had no intention of getting closer, he moved to a corner with a stump of his limb, and even buried it with something.

"Quite smart."

John went to pick it up and found that it was a broken prosthetic hand.

The biometric information port turned out to be complete.

He hesitated for a moment and used his data connection. After a brief flash of black light, there was an extra amount of money in the account!

[Collection: Windfall]

[Description: People in Eden City encounter accidents every day. There may still be assets in the accounts they leave behind. Instead of making the bank cheaper, it is better to use the remaining heat. 】

John showed an excited expression.

Although the money is not much, it is very satisfying to turn it into a number in the account balance.

If Black Spider continues to work hard, he will be able to earn back his principal sooner or later.

John felt that it was a brilliant plan that he had made out of the drawings.

He even began to imagine:
If I continue to make money by taking jobs and transform a few more black spiders, I might be able to live a happy life of lying around at home and winning a lot of money.

This No. 3 landfill has been in use for decades, supplying waste to the entire Eden City.

There are more than thirty numbers in Area A, which is enough for Black Spider to explore for a while. Even if this area is scanned, there are still Areas B and C...

The landfill that others avoided has now become a gold mine!

"Huh~ The rewards for this mission are really huge!"

John's heart was racing with excitement.

However, he was happy too early and had no new gains until evening approached.

Finding gold from the trash requires fate.

[Wreckage detected, materials are being extracted and analyzed. 】

[Biological information-Maya Waitz, resident database search...]

The huge amount of text flashed by, like lines of code being loaded.

Before John could see the specific content, it transformed into a mere signal.

He stood up and looked towards the source.

The black spider stood still in a groove, protecting something.

"Is this an old-fashioned access card?"

The moment John picked it up, his eyes began to spin.

A familiar feeling of dizziness.

Black light flashed and several images appeared.

"Again?"

John experienced a similar situation when he triggered the mission for the first time.

What happened to the club girl Tobeka flashed back in his mind, as if he was playing with a supersensory chip with an immersion meter.

Broken host memories roared out.

This time the character is still a girl. She seemed to be arguing with a man, and then there was the sudden sound of gunshots, messy footsteps, and the feeling of falling sideways to the ground.

[Mission: Rebellion]

[Reward: Bounty (floating)]

The task received a network address.

He took out his portable device, connected to Eden City's public network, and successfully found a piece of missing persons information.

The protagonist of the accident is Maya Waits.

Disappeared in Eden City two years ago.

This kind of information is usually published by family members. After all, it is not an accident for a girl to disappear in this impetuous city.

John glanced at the reward content and immediately decided to leave.

There was no way, he was really short of money.

 Thanks to the pianist of Destiny for the reward~
  Muah, bang bang bang!
