“Let’s get out of here, Lucy.”
In the end, Jiang Heng sighed, walked up to Lucy, and patted her back as he spoke.
This world is dark, and it’s already reached a point of no return. Unless we directly restart the Earth, this situation will be very difficult to change.
Because the company has already taken control of everything, it’s almost impossible for the people at the bottom to turn things around.
But even if they could turn things around, what would be the point? The dragon slayer eventually becomes the dragon. Those people on the street are all cursing the company, but if they could get into the company, they might do even worse than the original company dogs.
This world is beyond saving. Even if Jiang Heng has a cheat, he can’t single-handedly change anything. After all, the system gave him powerful strength, but it can’t change people’s hearts.
…
The data is in hand, the mission is complete, and the process was relatively smooth. Jiang Heng and Lucy didn’t go home, but went directly to Rebirth to turn in the mission.
“Mission complete?”
Seeing the two, Rogue immediately asked.
“Complete, pay up!” Jiang Heng sat down on the sofa and said directly.
Rogue ignored him and looked at Lucy, asking: “Where’s the data?”
“It’s with me.” Lucy didn’t waste any words and directly transferred the data.
After checking the data, Rogue, the former legendary mercenary and current Queen of Rebirth, turned pale.
But Rogue is Rogue. She didn’t puke like Lucy, and after calming down, she looked at the two and said: “You guys did a good job. I’ll give you an extra share of the commission.”
With that, Rogue transferred the money to Lucy.
This mission was much harder than the previous ones Jiang Heng took on alone, so the commission was incredibly high, almost three times what Jiang Heng had earned before. Even after splitting it with Lucy, they still earned more than before.
And all this was thanks to Lucy. If there were no hackers, Rogue wouldn’t have assigned such a task to Jiang Heng.
It can only be said that in this world, hackers are the most indispensable role.
“Whoa, not easy! The iron rooster dropped a feather!”
After Rogue earned the money, she immediately heard Jiang Heng’s sarcastic remarks.
Immediately, Rogue couldn’t hold back and grabbed a bottle of wine from the table and threw it at him.
However, Jiang Heng was agile and easily caught the bottle, then even took a sip.
“Hmm, this wine is pretty good. As expected of the Queen of Rebirth, you drink high-end stuff!”
After finishing the drink, Jiang Heng didn’t forget to give Rogue a thumbs up.
Seeing this, Rogue was even more irritated. This guy always knew how to break her defenses.
“Scram!”
“Cough, cough, well then, we won’t stay long. But Grandma Rogue, can we cash out our drinking money today?” Jiang Heng got up to leave, but then asked.
“…”
Rogue was speechless. How could this guy be so shameless? Every time he came to Rebirth to drink, he wouldn’t pay, and it was all recorded in his account. Now he actually wants to cash out!
Look at that, is this something a human can do?
“Let’s go!” Even Lucy couldn’t stand it anymore, and pulled Jiang Heng to leave.
But just then, Rogue called out, “Wait.”
“What’s wrong, Grandma Rogue, something else?”
“You’re not taking on any missions today?” Rogue asked.
“No, from now on I won’t be so busy. I’m going to learn to enjoy life!” Jiang Heng said, and directly left Rebirth with Lucy.
Looking at their backs, Rogue felt a daze.
Seeing Jiang Heng and Lucy together, she couldn’t help but think about the days when she was with Johnny, more than 50 years ago.
Even though Johnny was a jerk, it’s undeniable that she was truly herself when she was with him.
Over the years, Rogue has been through too much, and she’s no longer the Rogue who was still a mercenary.
…
Still taking the electric car, Jiang Heng and Lucy returned to his apartment.
Jiang Heng didn’t ask more, and Lucy didn’t say she was leaving. The two were very comfortable with each other.
If Jiang Heng asked at this time: “Are you staying here tonight?”
Then there’s a high chance Lucy would leave due to shyness, but he didn’t ask, and instead treated everything as a matter of course, so Lucy stayed.
What is high EQ? This is it!
After returning home, the two quickly washed up and went to bed, after all, they worked pretty hard today.
For Lucy, it was quite draining to use her hacking skills to directly hack a group of people, while Jiang Heng also consumed a lot of physical energy when he activated the “bullet time” skill.
It was also fortunate that he drew a full-level physical body from the system’s three free draws. This made Jiang Heng’s body very strong. Otherwise, with his original otaku physique, he would have been exhausted just from activating bullet time once.
Before going to sleep, Jiang Heng also opened his system panel to check. The results were shocking.
Because Jiang Heng discovered that his energy bar, which was originally only 50%, had risen to 60%! This mission actually increased it by a full 10 points!
