Chapter 111: Cyborg

“I’m back. Did you miss me, Yuan Ling?”
A purple-haired girl giggled and walked in from outside.
“Boss, look!” Qian Wanyang dragged Wang Hao over and pointed at the girl.
“A cyborg!” Wang Hao observed the purple-haired girl. With her delicate features and the sunny smile on her face, she looked like a fairy from an anime.
She looked too cute to be human.
According to the files Wang Hao recently read, cyborgs were also humans. They were no different from regular humans except that they had lost their bodies. However, before they died, their brains were transplanted into robots through advanced technologies, thereby creating brand-new humas whose brains were human and whose bodies were robotic.
Cyborgs could also train. By upgrading the parts and weapons on their body, they could become stronger.
But in order for the brain to control the weapons well, they needed magnificent mental power.
It was even safe to say that cyborgs were essentially mechas that had been installed with a brain.
“Hey, how much is this cyborg in your store?” Wang Hao asked and pointed at the purple-haired cyborg.
“You want to buy me?” The purple-haired cyborg pointed at herself.
Yuan Ling said in a hurry, “Ling Ling is not for sale.”
“Not for sale?” Wang Hao observed the cyborg named Ling Ling. She looked absolutely the same as a regular person, unlike most cyborgs who were armed to the teeth.
“Ling Ling is definitely for sale.” Ling Ling ran to Wang Hao quickly and said, “Ling Ling is very cheap. You can buy me as long as you pay my body maintenance.”
“Are you serious?” Wang Hao was excited. Since cyborgs were half-robots, their bodies had to be maintained once every month, which would cost a thousand contribution points each time.
If the body was damaged in a battle, the cost to repair it would be enormous. Many cyborgs who could not afford the payment would have to sell themselves so that their purchasers could pay the maintenance fee.
Rose Society’s cyborg store was exactly a platform for the cyborgs to sell themselves. It made money by charging commission fees.
Now, this cyborg named Ling Ling claimed that she only needed the maintenance fee without any extra money. Wang Hao certainly wouldn’t refuse such an offer.
“Ling Ling, stop horsing around. Wang Hao is a troublemaker. You’ll be in danger if you go with him.” Yuan Ling was rather anxious, because Ling Ling was the daughter of the leader of Rose Mercenaries, which was the patron of Rose Society.
Ling Ling’s body died in an accident when she was little. She had to be modified into a cyborg.
For her safety, her parents kept Ling Ling in the No. 11 school so that she would be away from danger.
But for Ling Ling, the No. 11 school was like an enormous prison that she wanted to escape all the time.
“A troublemaker?” Ling Ling’s eyes glowed, as if she was picturing her fun new life in the future.
Wang Hao reached Ling Ling curiously and squeezed Ling Ling’s cheeks, only to discover that her skin was as warm as that of a normal human.
The only difference was that, though Ling Ling seemed shy, her face did not turn red.
It seemed that the body of this cyborg was not advanced and could not reflect emotions on the face yet.
As far as Wang Hao knew, the advanced cyborg bodies, like mecha, belonged to the Military Department. One could not buy such bodies if they only had money but no connections in the Military Department.
“Wang Hao, what are you doing?” Yuan Ling pulled Ling Ling behind her and gazed at Wang Hao warily.
Wang Hao rolled his eyes. “I just want to check the difference between cyborgs and humans. You don’t think I’m interested in a cyborg girl, do you?”
The eyes of other girls in the store said that they did think so. They wouldn’t have suspected it if it were anybody else, but since it was Wang Hao, they had every reason to doubt him.
“How can you be so suspicious?” Wang Hao snorted. “Trust is the most precious thing between people. Do you really think I would do anything so shameless?”
Trust?
Who gave you the courage to say that?
Just now, they saw with their own eyes that a certain someone sold out his follower with a few words. Did such a person deserve trust?
Wang Hao said solemnly, “Forget it. The truth speaks for itself.”
The truth speaks for itself?
All the girls looked at him in disbelief. This man was not only shameless but also disgustingly pretentious!
Qian Wanyang sighed. Everybody had learned his boss’s shamelessness. No one would believe his explanation even when he did not mean to do anything bad.
“Boss, help!” Chen Yao’s scream echoed into the store before he came in. “Boss, take off my pants, please!”
Qian Wanyang looked at Chen Yao sympathetically. His buddy must’ve experienced another shock.
“Take off your pants?”
All the girls stepped back in fear and looked at Wang Hao and his company in disdain.
“I used Qian Wanyang’s fingerprint. You can unlock it if you let Qian Wanyang touch you.” Wang Hao looked at it with great interest.
“My fingerprint?” Qian Wanyang’s face was darker than ever. His boss was truly a pervert.
Noticing Chen Yao’s pitiful and helpless appearance, Qian Wanyang struggled to say, “Let’s go home first!”
“Eesh...”
All the girls gasped and stepped back, keeping a distance from Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao. Those two were truly as perverted as their boss.
Very soon, Ling Ling convinced Yuan Ling and hopped away with Wang Hao.
Yuan Ling sighed. She did not want Ling Ling to go with Wang Hao, but Ling Ling and Wang Hao were both insistent. She could not stop it from happening.
“It should be fine. I’ll keep an eye on Ling Ling for you...” Le Xuan comforted her.
Yuan Ling nodded helplessly. “Le Xuan, please take care of Ling Ling. I’ll talk to her parents...”
Le Xuan looked back at the departing Wang Hao, determined to learn Natural Firearm Proficiency on the trip to Tianming...
