Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 271 The Mann Team appears!

By the time Li You and his party returned to Night City, it was already noon the next day.

The Perception Night Demon transformation pool can only soak one person at a time. Even with the acceleration buff provided by Aggie when he is present, it will take more than six hours to transform one person.

So until they left, only two sentient night demons had been born, and the remaining two night ghosts were still fainting in the underground cave.

However, during the transformation process, something very interesting also happened.

When the Night Demon Lair transformed the Night Walkers, it naturally rejected the prosthetic bodies on them and vomited out some of them that were easy to peel off completely.

So Li You now has several second-hand grip pieces and leg joints, two pairs of prosthetic eyes, and even an old gorilla arm.

However, except for these prosthetic bodies that are easy to disassemble and assemble and are not so closely integrated with the physical body, other implants are treated equally by the incubation pool and their physical bodies, and finally remain in the bodies of the two night demons.

This discovery surprised Li You. He immediately asked the two of them to test the prosthetic body they still had.

Unfortunately, the chips in their brains are no longer functioning, and the prosthetics in areas such as the frontal cortex, circulatory system, and nervous system, although they are still in the body, have stopped functioning.

"Well, Rebecca asked us to meet and said she wanted to introduce someone to us? Is this another job?"

Of course, if Li You wanted to negotiate the price, that was not impossible, but he only had so little money, and he was too lazy to waste time.

"Are you being hunted by gangs, and they actually start here?"

After making these preparations, Li You parked two Night Walker armed off-road vehicles outside Stone Ridge Mountain, then called Dakota, packaged them and sold them at a low price of 8000 euros.

Last night, Regina called and said that she wanted to talk to Li You about something, and asked Li You to go find her when he was free. Li You could probably guess what was going on, so he was on the way to Regina's stronghold now.

It won't take too long. When the core of Night Demon's lair is upgraded, he will definitely come back.

Golden lightning suddenly lit up on the thunder moon shadow, and then disappeared as the blade cut down.

In the car, Aggie held his smartphone and scrolled through the upcoming appointments.

Li You sheathed the knife gracefully, and the woman fell to the ground with a thud, blood slowly flowing out from under her body, and she stopped moving.

Although even so, the combat effectiveness was not enough, but Li You also left behind one of his commonly used weapons. This weapon has recently been developed by Li You for new uses, and it will become the coordinate at critical moments.

So, Li You left the two night demons who had completed the transformation to guard them, and asked them to arm themselves with all the useful weapons in their cars.

"Maybe, but the meeting is at night, so there's no rush."

As for the Uzumaki Gang, they were all shocked when they saw Yuzu rushing toward her. The driver instinctively wanted to dodge, but failed to catch up. Yuzi stepped heavily on the front hood of the car, and the whole car suddenly tilted up!

Yuzi's whole body was pressed against the car, and the front end of the car rubbed out sparks on the ground. The power of inertia was quickly exhausted, and the out-of-control car hit the shoulder of the road and came to a complete stop.

The driver and the other two people in the car screamed. Only a highly modified woman sitting in the passenger seat got out of the car, showed the mantis knife in her arm with a ferocious expression, and pounced on Yuzi!

"call out--"

Isn't this just... troop strengthening! ?

Aggie looked around and saw that on the viaduct behind him, a Thracian painted with a conspicuous prosthetic spider logo was approaching.

And if we further assume that the Sentient Night Demons were originally transformed from humans, is it possible that by adjusting the settings of the prosthetics, they can also use various prosthetics?

After this idea came to his mind, Li You immediately became excited.

"That's right. So now we...ah, are we going to see Regina?"

"Yes."

This discovery surprised Li You. Bones and subcutaneous armor are originally prosthetic bodies that can most directly enhance combat effectiveness and do not require training. If it could be applied to the Night Demons, it would be a considerable increase.

"It's the Uzumaki Gang!"

"... Our last transaction was ruined by a new mercenary who didn't even have hair! What do you guys do for food!? That guy's name is Li You. Find him for me and chop off his head. Come down and use it as a decoration! Go quickly!"

So Li You shouted: "Youzi, I leave it to you!"

Li You drove gently across the viaduct and was about to enter Charter Hill in Westbrook.

Li You took out the chip, broke it into two pieces, and threw it on the corpses of the Uzumaki Gang.

But at this moment, Yuzi, who was sitting on the back of the car, suddenly knocked on the window and reminded: "It seems that the enemy is coming."

Li You immediately understood what happened. Their previous actions against the Whirlpool Gang were probably exposed, and the group of reformers found out his identity, so they issued a pursuit order within the gang, and the car from behind was coming. Looking for trouble.

However, although his enthusiasm is high at the moment, there are other more important things to do at the moment, and he must return to Night City first. The matter of giving Night Demon a prosthetic body can only wait until next time.

Such random events also exist in games, so Li You was not too surprised. It's not difficult to deal with this group of whirlpool gangs, but he doesn't want to scratch his new car.

But there are some that are still effective. Implants such as bone reinforcement and subcutaneous armor can still function because they are simple in structure and do not need to be connected to a brain-computer chip for calculation.

In the end, Li You found a recording chip on the woman with the Mantis Knife, which contained the pursuit order against him within the Whirlpool Gang.

Yuzi understood the idea, looked at the distance, jumped hard, and volleyed towards the Uzumaki Gang's vehicle!

However, he used too much force when he jumped up, causing their car to inevitably tilt to the left. Li You turned the steering wheel fiercely and made an emergency stop on the side of the road. Finally, there was no accident.

There was no way around it. The Yeyougui's car looked fully equipped, but in reality it was a mess inside. Plus, collecting such a car might incur their revenge, so they could only sell it for so little money.

Unfortunately, the secret of the Night Stalker cannot be disclosed casually, let alone find a prosthetic doctor everywhere to conduct research. If you really want to try it, you have to arrest people and lock them up - why does it sound so like the villain organization in Tokusatsu?

"...Actually, it's not impossible. The prosthetic doctors in the city are not all good people, and the gangs also have their own doctors." Li You began to think.

As for Yuzi, he got Li You's instruction and casually broke the necks of three Uzumaki gang minions and threw them down.

"…Um?"

But Yuzu didn't let go of their idea. He strode to the driver's seat, reached out, grabbed and tore off the door, and then lifted the driver out.

A flash of sword light flashed in mid-air, and Li You arrived here before he knew it, and struck the woman with his sword!

The woman was shocked. She didn't notice when Li You came over, but she didn't have time to think about it. She retracted her hands and crossed the mantis knife in front of her, trying to resist the knife.

Li You searched on his smartphone and found that two of them had bounties, which totaled 800 euros, so he took them easily - at least it could cover the accommodation expenses for a few days.

Even in order to adapt to the bone structure, the body shapes of these two people remained basically unchanged after the transformation was completed.

After taking care of all the miscellaneous matters, Li You drove his Colby, carrying Yuzi and Aiji, towards the Night City.

"Come if you dare."

He then returned to his car with Yuzi. Ai Ji, who was in charge of guarding, glanced at him and said, "Move quickly next time, the police will be here soon."

"Okay, let's go quickly."

Li You started the train again and continued to rush towards Regina's stronghold.

Regina's base is located in a glass-walled building on the edge of Watson's Kabuki District.

Interestingly, in the Edgewalker animation, Qiwei, the hacker who replaced Sasha and joined the Mann team, also lives in this building, and should be either in the same household, or just upstairs and downstairs from Regina.

Judging from the fact that Regina asked Li You to come here to meet her, it seems that it is the latter situation.

Li You took Yuzi and Aiji and took the elevator all the way to the thirteenth floor, where they arrived at the middleman's base.

As soon as he entered the door, Li You saw two machine gun turrets aimed at him.

Yuzu immediately growled and took a step forward, and Aggie's body tensed up.

But Regina's voice came from inside: "Don't worry, you won't shoot. You are in the system. Come in."

Sure enough, the two forts quickly recognized Li You's identity and returned to standby mode. Li You walked inside and saw Regina leaning against the glass window with her arms folded, looking down at the Night City below.

"Li You, this is your first face-to-face communication."

Regina turned around and glanced at Li You and the others one by one. When she saw Yuzu, her pupils dilated slightly, but without any extra expression on her face, she nodded very calmly and greeted them.

Obviously, Regina had done enough homework beforehand, but she was able to remain completely calm when she saw Yuzi face to face, which showed that as a middleman, she was very determined.

"It's better to hear than to see, Regina." Li You smiled, "I don't know why you came to me. What's the matter?"

Regina didn't show off and said straight to the point: "There are two things. The first is to meet you, this dark horse new mercenary. I am looking forward to your abilities, so meeting now will make it more convenient in the future. cooperate."

"As for the second thing...Li You, look at this."

Regina pointed to a screen next to her. The partner next to her clicked twice on the tablet in his hand, and several pictures were projected on the screen. Among them were people who were very familiar to Li You - they just posted them yesterday. Fallen cyberpsychosis.

Li You confirmed his guess now. Regina came here because of this matter.

Regina looked at him: "You don't seem very surprised."

Li You smiled: "No, I was just born with facial paralysis."

"..."

Regina glanced at him, skipped the topic, and continued: "Yes, this guy is a cyberpsycho who was subdued by you. I got him from Dakota."

"Since you have already faced him, you must also know the situation of this group. To be honest, there are more and more cyberpsychotic incidents in the city, but no one cares about the reasons behind them.

"And those lunatics from the Terrorist Mobile Team only know how to beat them all into pieces every time - this is simply treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

"I heard that cyberpsychosis can actually be cured. Although it sounds unreliable, it is better than killing them all without explanation.

"Dakota told me that your team of three subdued the cyberpsycho almost unscathed. To be honest, this surprised me.

"But that's why I came to you. Li You, if there is an incident of cyberpsychosis in the future, I hope you can help solve it. You just need to subdue them and help investigate the situation, and try not to kill anyone at the same time. got them.

"As long as you can do it, I will give you a very generous reward - what do you think?"

Li You looked thoughtful and waited for a while before saying: "It's not impossible, but you also know that cyberpsychosis is very dangerous. The risks of this kind of entrustment are quite high, so..."

Looking at Regina's eyes, he smiled slightly and added the second half: "You have to pay more."

……

When he came out of Regina's stronghold, Li You already had another 4000 euros in his personal account.

According to Regina, this was a deposit. After he received the money, future commissions regarding cyberpsychosis could not be refused without reason - he could still refuse without reason.

In fact, Li You didn't intend to refuse in the first place. Naturally, this kind of money would be free of charge.

Because the suppression of cyberpsychosis is one of the achievements of this world.

[Achievement: Psycho Killer]

[Achievement content: Find and subdue cyberpsychosis (1/18). 】

Although Li You also wanted to complain, there were clearly seventeen cyberpsychopaths in the game, but how come there were eighteen in his system?

Why, the cyberpsychosis is actually me? Will he be asked to hold down V Zhentian later?

Putting aside these minor shortcomings, in short, by cooperating with Regina, Li You is equivalent to having an additional voice achievement reminder software, which is convenient for him.

In this way, Li You drove the car, had something to eat in Japan Street, and then returned to the hotel.

The three of them took a brief rest and waited until night before going out again.

It's time to go to Rebecca's appointment.

……

At ten o'clock in the evening, Li You arrived near the super skyscraper H8—actually just a short walk down from the Sakura Market.

The meeting place that Rebecca arranged to meet with him was right here, the Turbo Bar on the riverside.

This is also the place where the Mann team often gathers in the animation, and the scene where Rebecca and her brother Pyrrha perform their talents is here.

Li You had just parked the car in the parking space of the Turbo Bar. Sasha, who had noticed them long ago, had already run to the car window: "Li You! You are here."

"Well, hello, Sasha." Li You got out of the car, followed closely by Aiji and Yuzi. Yuzi's huge figure attracted the attention of many people.

Sasha looked at Li You's car: "Where did you borrow this from? Have you erased the tracking information? If you don't crack the security system, the owner will chase you. Ah, let me help you?"

Li You was a little funny and said, "Don't do it. This is my car. If you break the security, I have to reinstall it."

"Eh?" Sasha was stunned, "You have a car so soon?"

At this time, Rebecca also came over, pulled Sasha to her side, and said, "Hey! Sasha, you are too active. Now is not the time to do this."

She said and looked at Li You: "Newcomer! The boss of our team is waiting for you. He is the most powerful mercenary in this area. It is rare for him to see you this time."

Sasha also agreed: "Well, Mann usually doesn't bring new people."

Li You smiled and was about to say something when he saw a tall woman with short blond hair standing aside, confronting Yuzi.

"Oh? You have a very good physique!" The female mercenary looked at Yuzi, "These muscles are very convincing. I am optimistic about you!"

Next to her, followed a thin man with a wretched face, a hedgehog-style mohawk and a full beard, wearing a pair of electronic goggles, and equipped with extra lengthened prosthetic arms on both arms.

Hearing this, the man laughed: "Really? Is this kind of guy your cup of tea? Then you have to be careful. Looking at his muscles like this, I'm afraid he can overheat your prosthetic body." Hey! Hahahaha!"

Grapefruit:"…?"

Li You: "..."

What are you talking about to a child of that age?

Aiji couldn't listen anymore and pulled Yuzi behind him, which also attracted the attention of the two.

The man looked at Aggie and said, "Huh? Where did this little girl like you come from? Why, do you want to communicate with your brother?"

Aggie: "..."

She asked in the spiritual link: "...It should be okay for me to kill this guy, right?"

Li You: "...No, that's Sasha's teammate, or Rebecca's brother."

Aggie: "...ah!!??"

There is a man and a woman. The muscular woman is called Dorio, and the wretched man with long hands is Pyrrha. Both of them are members of Mann's team. Dorio is Mann's love interest and second-in-command, while Pyrrha is the gunslinger and technical expert.

Although Pyrrha looks unreliable, his professional skills are still excellent, and he can even perform simple disassembly and assembly of prosthetics - his pair of extended prosthetic hands - at his own home.

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed a bit tense, both Sasha and Rebecca planned to step forward. Li You originally planned to step forward and say a few words, but he heard a deep and deep voice coming from the other side:

"Hey, Dorio, Pyrrha, stop playing and bring him here."

"Ah."

Dorio hummed, looked at Li You, gestured with her thumb to the direction of the green belt beside her, and motioned for Li You to follow her.

The two brought Li You to the edge, where the man was sitting under a landscape tree.

With short blond hair that stands up, dark brown skin, and an exaggeratedly strong figure, this man is nearly two times bigger than Li You, and he looks to be not much worse than Yuzi.

He was wearing a pair of sports sunglasses, and traces of various prosthetic modifications could be seen all over his body. He only wore a sleeveless black jacket on his upper body, showing off those prosthetic interfaces very proudly.

This is the captain of Mann, Sasha and Rebecca, one of the most famous mercenaries in Night City during this period - or another name, cyberpunk.

He crossed his legs and sat under the landscape tree very uninhibitedly. He had a bottle of wine in his hand, but he didn't open it.

Mann looked up at Li You: "Are you the novice mercenary who asked Rebecca to introduce the commission and also robbed our hacker?"

His eyes were very penetrating, and his aura was full of oppression, but Li You turned a blind eye to these and only said: "It's me."

"Oh? Interesting."

Mann suddenly stood up, walked to Li You in two steps, and looked down at him, while Li You looked up and looked back without fear.

Sasha on the side felt a little uneasy when she saw it, and wanted to take a step forward, but Rebecca stopped her and shook her head.

Mann and Li You looked at each other for a short while, and then suddenly laughed and said: "Okay! You are not bad! You are worthy of being called the 'most potential newcomer this year' by Regina. Her vision is indeed not bad. !”

Li You didn't know what Regina was praising him for, but he just smiled and said, "I have more than just potential."

"Ha! It's pretty crazy, boy, I like it!"

It's not Li You's character to be so showy, but as mentioned before, if you want to be famous in Night City, you must show your strength - there is no room for the virtue of "humility" to exist here.

Mann patted Li You hard on the shoulder and said, "Let's get down to business! You saved Sasha before, right? I want to thank you for this. Come and drink this!"

Li You took the wine glass unceremoniously and drank it all in one gulp.

"Okay, feel free!" Mann drank down the wine in his hand and continued, "Then it's our main business!"

"Let's go to the bar room and talk."

Mann led a group of people into the private room of the Turbo Bar, and Li You followed with Yuzi and Aiji. There were eight people, including three big guys, completely filling up the small private room.

"We have a big job here!" Mann sat directly opposite Li You, and he went straight to the topic as soon as he opened his mouth. "Originally, novices are not considered for this kind of job, but you have proven your strength!"

"…Pyrrha, check his records and read them out."

"Why do you want me to check...Oh shit!!"

Pyrrha was nonchalant at first, but then she almost jumped.

"You guys, it was just the three of you who killed a cyberpsycho in the bad land!?"

"ha--!?"

Before Li You could speak, Rebecca on the side couldn't sit still and stood up, slapping the table: "What did you say?"

"Be respectful, brother." Pyrrha complained, "I said, these three guys, on their own, captured a cyberpsycho alive!"

Rebecca confirmed that she heard correctly, then turned to look at Li You: "...You went to the bad land for one day and did such a big job?"

Li You just smiled and didn't answer.

"That's not right, why didn't you tell Sasha about this..."

Rebecca looked at Sasha, but saw that she was secretly looking at Li You, with... a look of pride on her face?

Rebecca: "...fuck."

What a fucking miscalculation.

"Well, everyone knows their record, so there should be no doubt about what I want to say."

Mann adjusted his sunglasses and said, "Mr. Faraday has assigned us a big job. This time it is more exaggerated than before, and it is not a trivial matter with biotechnology. This time we are going to..."

"Deal with Arasaka."
