Chapter 52: A Powerful and Influential Goose
The day after the Yakuza scare, Gu He missed out on his vacation yet again, taking on his second daytime gig.
He serviced a wealthy middle-aged client and fulfilled her dream.
It went like this: the rich woman had kept a digital pet for years. As time passed, she grew increasingly dissatisfied with merely staring at electronic data and holographic images. She wanted a physical pet she could actually hold and cuddle.
The woman was a long-time client of Licai. After hearing about this supernatural service, she had been willing to spend a fortune to make her dream come true.
Since Miss Ayane was out, Old Fan made the call to take the job.
Old Fan started by using the modified Santou Computer to compile the digital pet's ordinary data into supernatural information.
As a Container, Gu He synchronized with the supernatural information, allowing the pet to possess him as a secondary personality—if it could even be called a personality.
This digital pet wasn't human, nor was it a cat or a dog. It was a koala.
In this world, koalas had unfortunately gone extinct many years ago following the global war.
