Please call me Cyber ​​Demon King

Are they on good terms?

Watching the man chatting and laughing with the dark-haired girl, Lucy stubbed out her cigarette and asked V beside her.

"Tsk, of course, we just went through thick and thin together."

V was speechless. How could she say that? Although they had only known each other for a short time, the things they had experienced together were quite exciting.

"Having faced life and death"

Lucy gave V a strange look, then pondered the sentence.

"Then it seems we'll be used for comparison."

Although the little girl was young, she was very clever, and she immediately thought of this.

After escaping from the closed research facility in Arasaka, Lucy has been to many places, but she only recently settled in Night City.

"We'll hold you to the same standards we'd use for geniuses, girl."

Jack Wells joined the conversation, and he was very direct. He actually knew a hacker named [name omitted], who was also highly skilled.

If all else fails, he can look for jobs when Sasha is busy, but people might not be willing to do small jobs.

There's no way around it; veteran hackers like Qiwei and her team have every right to be picky about the orders.

Like Qiwei, they are mostly lone wolves, working on their own, and don't join a long-term cyberpunk team; at most, they have some collaborators.

In teams like Mann's, Sasha usually goes on missions together, and Qiwei only joins in on missions that are particularly difficult and rewarding.

After hackers have made a name for themselves, most will start taking on jobs on their own, even if they have a long-term cyberpunk team working with them.

That's exactly how Sasha is; otherwise, she wouldn't have met Ke Ling, V, and Jack Wells.

This is normal. Skilled hackers never have to worry about work, while those who aren't skilled have long since been roasted to death.

"I do not mind."

Lucy's response was brief, but you could tell she was very confident in her abilities.

"Very good, young people should have this kind of spirit."

Ke Ling leaned over and gave Lucy a thumbs up. He also had confidence in the "mining girl's" skills. "You can still trust Arasaka's judgment."

Lucy was a genius hacker selected by Arasaka. She grew up in Arasaka's secret facilities and was used by Arasaka to dig out valuable information from the old network.

Lucy nodded to Ke Ling, feeling his trust and support.

Although this person seems to have a good relationship with the hacker from Mann's team, he doesn't seem to have any issues with her?

Lucy is the type who has a lot on her mind; she talks far less than she thinks.

She has the face of a femme fatale, with an aloof and icy demeanor that keeps strangers at bay, but her heart is more delicate and pure than anyone else's.

"By the way, I might be leaving Night City for a few days. I just wanted to let you know."

Ke Ling smiled and nodded in response to Lucy, then looked at V and Jack Wells and told them that he was leaving.

"Where are you going? Are you in trouble? Do you need help?"

V asked with a puzzled expression, "Didn't Ke Ling just arrive in Night City? He just rented a place, what's the matter that he has to leave?"

Jack Wells also looked over with concern. If Ke Ling said he needed help, he would definitely take his two golden daggers and set off immediately.

"It's okay, just a small problem."

Ke Ling blinked. To be honest, for him, this kind of street loyalty—willing to go to great lengths for you without hesitation—was still quite touching.

"Contact us if you have any questions."

V's expression was somewhat worried. Ke Ling's background was undoubtedly the most complicated among them.

She and Jack Wells exchanged a glance, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes; the matter Ke Ling was dealing with was definitely not simple.

Regarding the speculation about Ke Ling's background, Lao Wei actually hinted at V and Jack Wells.

This is quite normal. Ke Ling had actually guessed it as well, since Old Wei and V, as well as Jack Wells, had known each other for a longer period of time.

While Old Wei wouldn't ask too many questions about a troublesome person like Ke Ling, it would be normal for him to remind V and Jack Wells out of loyalty.

"Just remember to eat my portion every day, don't waste it."

Seeing V's somewhat worried expression, Ke Ling said with a smile.

This immediately embarrassed V, who then gave Ke Ling the middle finger.

"Damn it, you're making it sound like I'm short of your meal."

V rolled her eyes and cursed. Although she had indeed helped Ke Ling eat these past two days, it was because she didn't want to waste money.

"That's more like it. The way you two looked just now, it was like you were about to attend my funeral. That was so unlucky."

Ke Ling laughed. He knew, of course, that V and Jack Wells had misunderstood what he was going to do, but he didn't intend to explain.

Old Wei's imagination really helped him a lot; many of his problems could be attributed to biological experiments at some unlucky company.

As for which company to pin the blame on, Ke Ling hasn't decided yet. Perhaps a biotechnology company would be more suitable.

However, that wouldn't be considered blaming anyone, because those bastards at the biotechnology company were actually conducting experiments on bio-soldiers.

"I'll be going now, you guys continue."

After exchanging a few more jokes, Ke Ling got up to leave.

"Like I said, don't die, or else..."

V narrowed her eyes, not finishing her sentence, but Ke Ling rolled her eyes, clearly understanding what she meant.

After waving goodbye to everyone, Ke Ling left the Laisheng Bar.

What is he going to do?

Lucy listened intently from the side, her expression somewhat puzzled. She didn't understand what kind of riddle the three of them were speaking of.

"I can't tell you yet."

V and Jack Wells exchanged a glance and immediately reached a consensus: Lucy couldn't just blurt out about Ke Ling's affairs; she needed to gain their trust first.

"Forehead"

Lucy seemed thoughtful. So this gentleman must have quite a few secrets.

The next update will probably be very late~~~

Chapter 57: The Villagers Share Nuclear Fusion Technology with You

Ke Ling left the Laisheng Bar and went outside to the street.

He went out again and took the time to think about whether there was anything he had forgotten to buy.

Masks, earmuffs, sunglasses, and the like are meant to cover up any openings on the body. Although I've had a full-body skin resurfacing procedure, it wasn't a complete skin change.

What if sunlight shone through her ear? Who knows if it would burn her brain to ashes? Ke Ling wouldn't dare take that risk.

Gloves and a parasol are also just in case. To make eating and fighting easier, he has a one-click armor removal function on his hands. In case of any malfunction, he can use the gloves to cover himself.

A sun umbrella is an everyday necessity. It's not very useful, but using an umbrella won't hurt you; on the contrary, it gives you a sense of security.

Ke Ling prepared things to protect himself. As for finding something to deal with ghosts, he did consider it, but there was nothing really useful.

Needless to say, he already knew that ghosts weren't afraid of ultraviolet light when the Kamado siblings came to the cave to find him.

When the brother and sister arrived, it was already daylight, but it was snowing outside and the clouds were thick, so the sun couldn't be seen. However, the clouds couldn't block out ultraviolet rays.

However, although it's okay to go out on a cloudy day, Ke Ling wouldn't dare to do so if he hadn't changed his skin.

After all, even the weather bureau can't predict God's mood; it can change in an instant.

What if the sky suddenly clears up after you go out? It would be such a shame to die from a sudden change from cloudy to sunny.

Regarding the issue of being afraid of sunlight, Ke Ling conducted a very serious study, and his final conclusion was very straightforward: "cannot be exposed to direct sunlight," and everything else is fine.

It's very mystical, but that's the truth.

As for whether the ghost has any other weaknesses, that's one of the reasons Ke Ling wanted to go back this time, and he really wanted to know.

After wandering around for a while, Ke Ling returned to her little house. It was almost dawn.

He bought a small backpack on the way and put all the things he needed in it. It was indeed inconvenient that the "anime anus" didn't have its own weight-bearing capacity.

As for weapons, considering that the world he was going to was set in Japan, Ke Ling bought a samurai sword. The quality was very ordinary, but the price was cheap, costing him only 150.

Compared to firearms that can easily cost tens of thousands of euros, weapons like swords, even if of very high quality, are generally cheaper.

Of course, besides the katana, he also carried a pistol, which was in his bag; it was a previous trophy.

With his katana slung diagonally across his back and his bag on his shoulder, Ke Ling brought up the system interface.

"Back to the past."

Without much hesitation, Ke Ling immediately activated the time travel feature.

The pop-up message "[Return to the Past]" presented an option to select a world. Ke Ling chose "Demon Slayer," as he had no other options.

[Time travel complete]

[Current World: Demon Slayer]

In a flash, Ke Ling disappeared from his hut and arrived at another familiar place, the location where he had initiated the time travel last time.

"hiss!"

Ke Ling immediately gasped for breath, because they were not indoors and it was already daytime with the sun rising.

Sunlight filtered through the sparse leaves, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow on the forest floor. The golden light, which should have been incredibly warm, instead sent a chill down Ke Ling's spine.

"I was thinking I could finally feel the sunshine, but this feeling is no different from forcing someone with severe acrophobia to stand on the edge of a cliff."

Ke Ling shivered. He glanced at the heat converter; his body temperature was a normal 5°C. The chill was psychological, stemming from his fear of death.

"Now we are truly facing the fear of death every moment."

Ke Ling made a comment to ease his mood, and then looked around.

"The snow hasn't completely melted yet, but the monkeys' bodies have all disappeared?"
