Chapter 32: Settled

Jock didn't expect Pell to be so straightforward. He was a little surprised and a little amused. This actually saved him a lot of trouble.

He stopped talking nonsense and asked directly: "How much is it?"

At this time, Kate stood behind silently with a worried look on her face.

Pell put aside the strange tool in his hand and looked at Kate at the door:

"How much it costs depends on what kind of living conditions you want to give her."

“Of course the best!”

As soon as Jock finished speaking, he was afraid that Per would misunderstand what he meant, so he added:

“The best in the ghetto!”

But after saying this, Jock felt that his addition was stupid.

'Looking at the look here, this guy Pell can't provide you with the living conditions of an elite area.'

Kate, who was behind her, felt a little moved when she heard what Jock said.

"The best..." Pell repeated these three words in a low voice, thought for a moment and said, "300 Camila per month."

"Can I pay with credit?"

Pell nodded: "Okay, I'll count you 300 points as well."

"3 months!"

Jock walked up to Per and stretched out his left hand with a wrist.

The two of them scanned each other's wrists and brains, and Jock's 900 credits were transferred to Pell.

"You can choose your own room." Pell glanced at his wrist and said to Kate with a smile.

This was the first time Jock saw an expression on Pearl's face.

With a "boom" sound, several floor tiles in a corner of the house moved away, and a simple elevator rose.

It turns out the room is underground.

"Let's go and pick a good room."

Jock pulled the trolley and waved to Kate.

"Put the mouse on top."

As soon as Pell finished speaking, a stickman-like robot walked in outside the door. This guy was about 1.5 meters tall. He picked up the rat corpse string on the trolley and ran out.

The speed is astonishing.

"That's the cooking robot I made." Seeing both of them looking at him, Pell explained.

The elevator sank, and the two of them soon reached the underground.

Qiao Kemo counted it and found that it was about 5 meters above the ground.

Walking out of the elevator one after another, Jock found that the underground space was very spacious.

The winding corridor is nearly three meters wide, and the layout of the rooms is somewhat similar to that of a hotel.

The surrounding doors opened one after another, and Pell's voice sounded throughout the underground.

“You can choose any room that opens the door.”

"Go and have a look and choose the one you like."

Jock motioned for Kate to go ahead.

"kindness."

Kate quickly chose a room at the corner of the corridor.

Jock pulled the trolley in, and without delay, said directly to Kate:

"You should live a good life here, and don't leave the acquisition station alone again. It's not safe outside. Study hard and try to join the Holy Judgment Church as soon as possible."

Jock originally wanted to touch Kate's head to show encouragement, but when he thought that they were not very familiar with each other and that he was very responsible for Rupert's death, he gave up in his heart.

"Let's scan each other's wrists. If anything happens, you can contact me directly."

Jock raised his left hand, and the two authenticated each other.

"Then I'll leave first."

He waved to Kate and walked towards the elevator.

Just as he reached the door, Jock stopped and said without looking back:

"If you can't contact me for more than a month, it only means that I am dead. You should take good care of yourself in the future."

In fact, Jock himself understood that as long as he could not be contacted for one day, he could basically be judged to be dead. The reason why he said the time was one month was just to let Kate feel at peace for a longer time.

He turned to look at Kate and finally apologized:

"I'm sorry that you lost your brother because of me."

When Kate heard this, she shook her head violently:

"We attacked Brother Jock first, but you didn't kill us later. Kate is really grateful to Brother Jock. His death was just an accident. I have never blamed you."

Seeing Kate explaining nervously and sincerely, Jock had a smile on his face:

"Thanks."

"Don't worry! I will try my best to find a way to restore Rupert's 21 krypton."

After saying that, Jock strode towards the elevator.

When Kate saw him leaving, she subconsciously wanted to catch up, but as soon as she took a step, she stopped again.

'I can't be a burden to Brother Jock!'

Kate looked in the direction Jock left, her sight seemed to penetrate the wall.

'Brother Jock, you will definitely live well. I will pray for you every day, and the Holy Light will bless you!'

Kate clasped her hands together and closed her eyes devoutly.

...

Back on the ground, Jock saw Pell still sitting in front of the computer busy with something.

"Perl, please authenticate each other so that we can contact you if you have any questions." Jock waved his left hand and walked over.

"good."

After the two of them authenticated each other, Pell turned around and continued to control the computer. Jock looked at the computer screen, which was full of data symbols that he could not understand, and felt a headache.

At this time, he suddenly thought that Kate, a girl, would usually need to buy some personal items.

'Rupert must have gone with her before.'

Jock looked at Pell's back and thought that this guy was probably the type of person who didn't like to go out.

"By the way, Pearl, can you shop online?"

Pell replied without looking back: "Of course, you want to buy something?"

"It's not me. If Kate wants to buy something, let her do it online. It's too unsafe outside."

"If you don't have enough money, you can pay it in advance and I will settle the bill later."

"Okay." Pell still didn't look back, as if nothing was as attractive as the computer in front of him.

Jock walked out of the house and saw three match robots disposing of rat corpses on a stone table.

He clicked on his wrist, and the credit point balance was: 97.

Thinking of the fact that he had boasted to Perl that he would pay Kate's bill, Jock smiled helplessly in his heart.

'We have to find a way to get some money.'

'I hope Kate can join the church as soon as possible. In this way, I can fulfill my promise.'

I glanced at the three friends in the address book and found that their profile pictures were all grey.

After settling Kate for the time being, Jock felt much more relaxed. He opened the navigation again and entered area 39.

Looking at the route above, Jock frowned: 'So far?'

He began to search further and found that there was a transportation station 1,274 meters away.

It's run by a gang called the 'Fire Gang'.

If you walk there, you won't be able to reach District 39 even tomorrow, and you will have to take transportation.

"I never imagined that no matter where I am, I can still spend money so much." After complaining to himself, Jock rushed to the traffic stop.

...

Once he arrived at his destination, Jock discovered that this so-called traffic stop was actually a large metal pile covered with graffiti.

At this time, three flying cars with exaggerated shapes and bright colors were parked here.

Six young men and women wearing sleeveless retro, high-collared colorful rivet jackets, black leather shorts, and high-top leather boots were gathering together to smoke and chat.

Looking at their unified red flame hairstyle, Jock complained in his heart:

'Oh, it's really the Fire Gang.'

Sensing someone approaching, the six people turned around one after another. Seeing that the person was dressed in a suit, and it looked like he was not an ordinary resident of the slums, they all put away their casual expressions and became a little more wary.

"Hey! Man! Where do you want to go?" One of the men greeted Jock.

Jock replied expressionlessly:
Chapter completed!
