Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 297 David, first confrontation with the enemy

After eight o'clock that night, Gloria finally finished her shift today and walked out of the staff passage of Night City Medical Center.

Although no longer as overworked as they once were, emergency medical technicians at medical centers still have a busy schedule and certainly don't have enough time to rest.

But even so, as long as she thinks that David's studies are now going smoothly and his personality has become more cheerful, Gloria feels that the hardship is completely worth it.

She came to the open-air parking lot outside the medical center and was about to open the door of her dilapidated Galena G240 when she heard a honking sound behind her.

"Di Di-"

Gloria turned her head in surprise, and then saw a gray Sky Hera EC-D l360 smoothly driving out of the opposite parking space and parking next to her.

She was a little confused when Hera's car window glass lowered, revealing a face that she had never expected.

"David——!?"

David gave her a thumbs up and grinned at her: "Mom!"

The waiter went to the kitchen, and Gloria glanced at David and asked: "...By the way, where did your money come from?"

"...So, Li You's friend also lent you this car?" Gloria turned her head sideways, wiped the corners of her eyes calmly, and asked at the same time.

"Come on, Mom, this is yours."

His voice became softer and softer as he spoke. He thought Gloria would get angry, but he didn't expect that she would just remain silent and sigh.

David parked the car in an open-air parking lot opposite the Ferris wheel, and then pulled Gloria out of the car.

Then Gloria grabbed his ear: "You'd better explain to me what's going on!"

David and Gloria chatted from time to time while eating. At the beginning, it was about the topic of the academy, and they just asked and answered questions in a slightly dull manner.

David and Gloria walked into the restaurant and found an empty table to sit down. A dark-skinned waiter wearing a beige dress came over and asked, "What do you want to order?"

Of course, there was also a reason why he saw this car as having a good appearance. After all, this Hera was the first car that V bought after the prologue of the game. So Li You voted for it among the three similar cars. David didn't know which one to choose, so he accepted it.

However, the two of them soon started chatting about David's study with Li You. David's chatterbox opened up unconsciously, and he talked with relish about all the interesting things he had encountered during this period.

——After a while, David explained the situation to Gloria, and she was already sitting in the passenger seat.

In addition, even if it is the food in this restaurant, Li You only thinks it can be eaten.

Gloria rubbed David's head and said, "So, as long as you don't take part in any dangerous operations, just use your talents and help them in the rear, I won't care about you."

After getting a positive answer, David placed the order. His eyes flashed with electricity and he paid the bill simply.

"Well, you should eat quickly too."

"...Okay, then I won't argue with you today."

"It hurts, it hurts, mom, let go!"

"Table No. 4, your meal is ready!" Over at the bar, the middle-aged female boss with blond curly hair shouted, and David immediately went over and brought the dinner plate back.

Gloria seemed to be speaking seriously, but she couldn't hide the happy smile on her lips.

"I see."

The owner of this Sky Hera is Falco. This veteran driver has many vintage cars at home and he really likes to collect vehicles.

"Ah, this..." David suddenly hesitated, but meeting Gloria's eyes, he still answered truthfully:
"I helped Master and Mann a little when they were on a mission, so Mann gave it to me..."

"Then...a tofu tuna and pineapple pizza, a locust pepperoni pizza, a 'sashimi sushi', and two cups of coffee. Mom, would you like some coffee?"

"Caliente...restaurant?" Gloria looked up at the signboard, "I don't think I've heard of it before."

In this regard, Li You said that in fact, this was not his fault, but the rock star Kerry Orodine. He only found out about it after following Kerry in side missions.

"It was recommended by Master Li You. It is said that the dishes here are good." David said.

"Well, I know you will be an outstanding person no matter what you do." Gloria smiled happily and proudly.

Gloria looked directly at David: "You decide."

He was so excited that he didn't even bother to eat the pizza. Gloria, on the other hand, did not interrupt or urge, she just listened quietly with a smile on her face.

"Let's go, aren't we going to eat?"

"It's okay. I was just thinking that maybe you have grown up and I shouldn't restrict you in everything. When you graduate and join the company, you will have to work hard on your own."

“As expected of the restaurant recommended by Master!”

David nodded: "Yeah! Although if you really want to say it, it's actually Mann's team members."

But of course he couldn't tell the truth now, so he nodded vigorously: "I know!"

"...Mom?"

"Ah..." David understood. It turned out that his mother thought that he was just helping Li You and Mann with some "technical" work, but she didn't know that he actually went to the scene to experience it.

This is a small restaurant, with only a few tables in the store, but there are still seats outside.

As for the car model, it was Li Youti’s suggestion. Because David was taking his mother to dinner after all, so sports cars, armed vehicles, motorcycles, etc. were not suitable. A modest car like Hera was the best.

He drove steadily out of Watson, across the bridge, and finally arrived at the Coronado Ranch in Santo Domingo, near Kendall Park—next to the fallen Ferris wheel landmark.

"Okay!" David held the steering wheel, "Let's go!"

The two of them tasted two pizzas that would have angered the Italians if Li You traveled to the world before, and took another sip of coffee. They both felt that the taste was really good.

For her, this was the happiest moment.

Unfortunately, happy times are often short-lived. The two were eating and chatting when suddenly the door of the restaurant was kicked open, and three gangsters wearing vests, dreadlocks, and holding pistols rushed in.

"Everyone stand against the wall. This is robbery! Raise your hands so I can see!"

The leading man with dreadlocks held a handful of uniforms and circled them like a camera: "Hurry up and do what I do!"

David, Gloria, the other customers in the restaurant and the proprietress were all stunned. However, under the threat of gunpoint, they still moved aside obediently.

"Which gang are you from? We paid protection fees to the Sixth Street Gang!" the store manager said to the three gangsters.

"We don't care what gang you have!" The man with the dreadlocks looked like he didn't care at all, "Give me all the cash, quick!"

When he said this, the store manager and David beside him all understood that these were three stupid young men.

Not to mention anything else, they actually engaged in open robbery on the territory of the Sixth Street Gang. The veterans of the Sixth Street Gang who valued "street order" within their sphere of influence would not let them off easily.

But one code equals the other, and the store manager knew very well that if they really stole the cash, even if these stupid young men were picked up by the Sixth Street Gang later, they would not be able to get the stolen money back.

The store manager was in a bit of a dilemma when he saw a boy among the customers saying to the man with dreadlocks: "Well... your insurance seems to be stuck."

The man with the dreadlocks was stunned. He looked at the gun in his hand and realized that it was indeed the case. At that time, he became a little angry and said, "Do you still want to say it? Of course I know about this kind of thing! You..."

"boom--!!"

Suddenly there was a gunshot, and a stream of blood rushed out from the back of the man's head, and he fell forward.

David, who was sneaking the knife: "——!?"

Everyone: "!!"

The other two accomplices of the man with the dreadlocks were also frightened and immediately wanted to run away, but two more gunshots rang out and they fell to the ground.

Then, two Six Street Gang members wearing military green combat jackets walked in.

"Hey, are everything okay?"

The store manager had already arrived in front of them, with an unsightly look on his face: "If you deal with these three people on the spot, it will not be a positive publicity for my business."

The veteran of the Sixth Street Gang in front casually spread his hands: "We will help protect the stores that have paid protection fees, but we are not obligated to deal with the aftermath. I leave this to you."

As the veteran said, he came directly to the bar, casually took away two burgers that had just been served, and said, "Consider this as a thank you!"

The store manager was naturally angry but dared not say anything about this.

The two Sixth Street Gang veterans planned to leave, but the one behind them glanced at Gloria.

"——Yo? Isn't this Mrs. Martinez?" He spoke at that time and looked over.

"...Mom?" David was a little surprised, but he saw Gloria standing in front of him silently.

"Martinez? Is she the one who occasionally supplied us with goods before?" another veteran asked.

"Yes, that's her." The first one said, "We would buy some prosthetics from her from time to time, but some time ago old Bob was in urgent need of some kind of artificial organ, which can only be found on the rich people in the medical center. I'll go look for it. She bought it, but this bitch said she wouldn’t take orders like this, damn it! Old Bob died like that!”

Hearing this, the latter Sixth Street Gang also looked at Gloria: "So it's you!"

Gloria's heart couldn't help but sink. She didn't expect that she would meet members of the Sixth Street Gang who had met her before here.

She didn't offend the Sixth Street Gang, but the person in front of her had a personal conflict with her. If he does it to himself, what should David do...

"Are you the Sixth Street Gang?"

Gloria was in trouble, but David suddenly pulled her behind him, and then spoke out to the veterans of the Sixth Street Gang.

"David...!?" Gloria was anxious.

"I'll handle it." David winked at her.

Gloria was stunned for a moment.

"Huh? Where did this little kid come from? Get out of here, I'm looking for your mother!"

The Sixth Street Gang veteran glared condescendingly at David.

"Santo Domingo is your territory, I know." David replied calmly, "But we also have some friends operating around here. Mann, do you know them?"

"...You kid, do you know Mann?" The latter Sixth Street Gang member was stunned, "Who are you?"

"Well, he is an old friend of my mother and I." David didn't know how to explain it at the moment.

Are you and Mann brothers? Mann did not become a disciple.

Is that a classmate? No one would believe it.

So in the end, he still said they were "friends."

"...Since he knows Mann, let's not interfere." The latter veteran said, "That guy will be very troublesome when he goes crazy."

But the former veteran was not moved at all. He even raised the Overture revolver in his hand and pointed at David's head: "I don't care who you know! Today I will avenge old Bob!"

When he got to this point, David became rude and responded tit-for-tat: "What you wanted my mother to do before was the scavenger's job! My mother was right to refuse you. We don't do this." Kind of something!"

"You kid——!!"

The Sixth Street Gang veteran was so furious that his finger on the trigger began to shrink back.

But David today is different from before. With the assistance of Jin Qi, his five senses and reaction speed have improved a lot.

Although he has not practiced Jin Qi for a long time and has not explored his own potential enough, so the total amount of Jin Qi is not large, but if anyone treats him as a child without a prosthetic body, he will definitely learn a profound lesson. .

The moment he saw the veteran trying to pull back the trigger, David took action without hesitation.

Kui Arm's 400 kung fu chip was operating rapidly. David summoned up his weak strength at the same time. With one move of his left hand, he knocked the veteran's gun away and punched him with his right fist at the same time, hitting him heavily in the abdomen!
"Wow——!!"

The veteran staggered suddenly and backed away with his back arched.

The other person next to him was shocked at the time because he never expected David to dare to take action. He had even put his gun back into his holster just now, and now he reached out to draw it.

But it was obviously too late. The moment David punched the veteran, he had already pulled out the punk knife in his uniform with his backhand.

The rigorous training left him without a second thought. With a burst of energy, the knife immediately turned into a cold light and hit the veteran!

However, considering that the other person was a member of the Sixth Street Gang and he had never actually killed anyone, David's knife was a little off target and aimed at the other person's wrist.

"Ah!" The punk knife accurately hit and penetrated the veteran's right wrist as he tried to pull out the gun, causing him to scream in pain.

Although he did not intend to kill them, David firmly remembered what Li You repeatedly emphasized to him. If he attacked someone, he must make sure that the other party was unable to resist before stopping. He must not be careless.

So David stepped forward again and knocked the first veteran over with a quick knee strike, and then used a roundhouse kick to knock the second man to the ground.

This set of actions actually didn't take much time at all. Gloria and the other guests in the restaurant didn't even fully react. The two veterans of the Sixth Street Gang were already lying down, leaving only David, who was panting, still standing. .

"David, you..."

"If anything happens, we'll talk about it later!" David pulled Gloria up and said, "Let's leave quickly! Boss, I'm sorry!"

David pulled out the punk knife, pulled Gloria out the door, and returned to the car. Unfortunately, as soon as he started the car and drove out of the parking lot, before he had gone far, he saw three armed vehicles from the Sixth Street Gang roaring towards them from the other side, bringing up a puff of smoke and dust, and surrounded them. David also Had to stop the car.

"Hey...Mom, you stay in the car!"

Although he said this, Gloria naturally couldn't let him go down alone, so she followed him anyway.

Five or six veteran-looking gang members got out of the Sixth Street Gang's car. The leader looked at the two Davids: "I heard that someone had a conflict with my brother here?"

"I don't know what you are talking about." David remained calm.

"Hmph! The little kid is still a little smart!" The leader of the Sixth Street Gang snorted, "It's a pity it's useless! This is our territory, and someone has already reported to me what happened!"

"Then you should also know that we are just defending ourselves." David looked at him.

The veteran of the Sixth Street Gang looked at him for a while and suddenly said, "Hey, boy, you're not bad! Are you considering working for the Sixth Street Gang?"

David was stunned: "Huh?"

Before he could think of a reply, two sports cars roared towards him from the other side of the street.

Gudela, who was running in front, braked and drifted, accurately stopping between David and the Sixth Street Gang. Then Mann opened the door and got out of the car: "I seem to have heard that someone here wants to poach us." ?”

A look of fear flashed across the face of the leader of the Sixth Street Gang veteran: "Mann..."

"Hey, you still know me!" Mann stepped forward carelessly and looked at him, "Then your people are still causing trouble for us? Are you poaching me?"

"...Don't be too self-righteous." The veteran quickly regained his composure, "You are indeed famous and have some abilities, but you are not qualified to join the Sixth Street Gang!"

Mann opened his mouth and gave a ferocious smile: "I won't tell you whether I am qualified to compete with the Sixth Street Gang, but how did I hear that you are just a small leader and cannot represent the Sixth Street Gang at all?"

The two looked at each other for a while, and the atmosphere was tense. But in the end, it was the veteran of the Sixth Street Gang who waved his hand: "...let's go!"

The Sixth Street Gang members got in the car and left, while Mann came to David, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Hey, kid, Gloria! Are you okay?"

Gloria thanked Mann: "Thank you for saving us."

Mann waved his hand: "It's not me. Go thank Li You. He cares about this precious apprentice very much and asked us to help look after him!"

"Master?" David was also stunned.

"Hey, your master asked our hackers to hack all the surveillance cameras nearby to watch you. He knows exactly what you did just now."

"Ah this..."

David felt a little complicated for a moment, but then he thought of something again and asked: "Where is the master now..."

"It's over there in the garage. He also said, let me take you there." Mann said, "For Gloria, I'll ask Falco and Rebecca to take her back. You don't have to Worry."

David and Gloria looked at each other, and Gloria said, "... then go, and don't come back too late."

David nodded: "Yeah!"

He immediately got into Mann's car and drove away.

Gloria watched the rear of the car gradually disappear from her sight, feeling a little lost and not knowing what she was thinking.

"Hello~"

A voice brought her out of her thoughts and back to reality. Gloria took a closer look and saw that it was a girl who looked younger than David saying hello to her.

"Hello! I'm Rebecca! Shall we take you back?"

……

The usual garage space.

Li You was still sitting on the tile chair, playing with an old gold coin in his hand.

Aggie and Yuzi were playing toss and catch, which was Yuzi's new hobby. Sasha sat next to Li You, holding a full horn cup and sipping it, looking very happy.

What Li You has in his hand is naturally a lucky coin, and it is a replica of an ancient coin. Of course, the effect is exactly the same as the original.

Just now, Li You wanted to try the effect of a lucky coin, so he crushed one and used the saved lottery opportunities to draw five prizes, and also clicked on the special clothing lottery opportunities.

As for the results...should I say they are good or bad?

[Obtain fire bomb ×10. 】

[Obtain "Power Seed" ×1. 】

[Obtain Magnum Bullets ×10. 】

[Obtain "God Eater" ×1. 】

[Obtain mercury bullets ×10. 】

"Hmm... It's good to have a power seed and a god-eating one."

But what I got from that special costume...

[Dressing belt: a belt made of special technology. After wearing it, just shout the preset password to summon a piece of technological armor to protect the user. Armor focuses on defense and can also provide a small increase in attack. 】

[Use restrictions: Male, and needs to be connected to a brain-computer interface for use. 】

After seeing the previous content, Li You's eyes were about to glow green, but the last line "needs to be connected to the brain-computer interface" was like a bucket of cold water mixed with ice cubes being pressed directly to his forehead.

"...NMD, why!"

Li You was so angry that he almost crushed the other gold coin in his hand.

"My dream of knighthood——!!!"

Sasha on the side noticed the abnormality in his expression and asked with concern: "Li You, what's wrong with you? Your eyes are all red!"

"…it's okay no problem."

Li You casually took the horn cup on the table and took a sip to calm down.

"It is limited to men and requires a brain-computer interface. It seems that the destination of this thing has been decided."

At that moment, Li You also thought about whether to install a brain-computer interface by himself, but after calming down, he gave up the idea.

"...There will definitely be another chance in the future."

Just as he was comforting himself, the familiar roar of the engine came, and Mann arrived with David.

"Master!"

David ran over as soon as he got out of the car.

Li You quickly calmed down and nodded to him: "I have seen your performance today. Not bad! You handled it appropriately."

"Hey, that's right." David felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head.

"It's just good. You don't have to doubt yourself." Li You was not stingy in his praise. "You have to correctly understand your own strength level. You can easily knock down ordinary gangsters now, but don't forget that if they have guns, Be prepared, you are also in danger."

David: "Yeah! I won't be careless!"

After reminding him, Li You added: "I also heard from Rebecca. You basically passed the target shooting test yesterday with full marks, right? Then, it's time to give you the customized pistol I promised you before. "

"Oh?" David's eyes also lit up.

Li You waved his hand and placed the two guns on the small table.

"This is a modified version of Lexington, and this one is an enhanced version of Tsunami Nue." Li You briefly introduced the two guns, "Lexington is the most suitable gun for novices like you, with balanced performance, and There’s a semi-automatic mode that can handle a variety of situations.”

"As for Tsunami Nue, I heard from Rebecca that this is the pistol you are most accustomed to using, so I also prepared one. This one is equipped with a muzzle compensator."

Neither gun was produced in Night City. Li You also collected a series of production specifications including the eight-star gun during this period, sent it back to Rupert, and specially asked him to customize the model.

Although the appearance is basically the same as the standard model, the performance of these two guns made by famous craftsmen is no worse than the "Immortal" weapons in the game, and there is also room for further improvement.

Lexington is painted in two colors of dark red and matte black, and Rupert added a short blade under the muzzle according to Li You's idea, making its appearance close to V's Final Night.

Tsunami Nue is painted in bright silver, and the additional muzzle compensator makes it look full of violent beauty. The shape is somewhat similar to Jack's "Golden Lady".

"Uh-oh!" David's eyes lit up, "Both of these guns are so handsome! Should I choose one, Master?"

Li You smiled slightly: "That's what I originally planned, but your performance this time makes me very satisfied, so."

He pushed the two guns on the table: "They are all yours."

David was stunned at first, then his face was full of surprise, and he was so excited that he couldn't help but cheer.

"Okay! Thank you, Master!"

Li You couldn't help but smile as he watched him excitedly pick up two guns, look at them again and again, make aiming movements, and then be willing to put them away after a while.

"Both of these guns are master-made and so unique that you can give them a name."

"I will tell Gloria, you don't have to worry." Li You continued, "But you must also remember that you need to be conscious to shoot others."

"You just used the throwing knife to destroy the Sixth Street Gang today, so that's okay. You're not completely ready to step into this world, so you have to be more careful when using a gun."

David nodded solemnly: "I understand, Master!"

"Yeah. Next, you can't let go of strength training." Li You nodded, "There will be rewards for passing Rebecca's test. If you can make Aggie recognize your progress, then I have a surprise waiting for you. you."

David's eyes immediately lit up: "I can definitely do it!"

Li You smiled: "Okay, let's go back today. Tomorrow will be the same time."

"Ok!"

Mann drove David away.

Li You thought for a while, picked up the phone and made a call.

"Beep beep beep——"

"Hello, old captain? Well, long time no see.

"No, I'm not here to urge you to buy the car I want. I have a commission for you to publish.

"Yes. The assassination commission targets a small leader of the Sixth Street Gang and two of his men. The requirement is to pretend to be an assassin from another gang. The Whirlpool Gang or the Tiger Claw Gang are best.

"Okay, I'll send you the deposit and target information shortly, that's it."

After hanging up the phone, Sasha smiled and said, "You really care about David."

Li You only said: "They are just two little people. If the impact on David and Gloria were not considered, I would just deal with it."

Sasha sighed a little: "David should feel lucky to have found a good master like you."

Li You waved his hand: "It's just a small matter. Compared to this, it's too late now. I'll take you back."

"it is good!"

Li You took Sasha and the others away.
