Cyberpunk: I didn't cheat.

"You little brat! You secretly installed such a dangerous prosthetic body and got yourself into this state, what exactly are you trying to do?!"

Seeing Gloria's furious outburst, Vito could only ask Misty to calm her down and prevent her from aggravating her already weakened condition.

Vito pulled David, who had recovered considerably, out of Old Vito's clinic and asked...

"What have you been doing, getting yourself into this state? Is this your classmate? Introduce him."

David explained.

"She's Lucy, not my classmate. We're business partners. Dr. Victor just said I've been using the S.A.W.S ... too much, which is why he's acting like this."

Vito asked, puzzled.

"You're using Sinweistein too much? Isn't this thing supposed to be used as soon as it's off cooldown? I used to use this thing to travel. Did you install a pirated version? But that shouldn't be the case. I scanned yours, and there shouldn't be any major problems."

Lucy, listening nearby, rolled her eyes. "Seanwistan, are you even going to make a move?"

David continued.

"Dr. Victor said it can only be used once or twice a day. I used it eight times today, and I haven't used any nerve suppressants yet, so it's normal to faint."

Vito asked, "Eight times? Even if your classmate is incredibly annoying, he shouldn't have been beaten up eight times. I remember you went to Arasaka Academy, not Suzuran Boys' High School, right?"

David explained, "No, it was Lucy and I who stole the chips in the city rails."

David realized he had let something slip as soon as he finished speaking, and looked awkwardly at Lucy next to him.

Vito was speechless. He lit a cigarette and said, "Seanwistan stealing chips? You're really something. Let me see what you stole, Relic chips?"

Lucy picked up a small handful of chips and weighed them in her hand. Vito glanced at them and saw that they were some low-level money chips, which would need to be cracked before they could be used.

This completely baffled Vito. He'd spent the whole afternoon working on this?

He turned to Lucy and asked.

"Are you a hacker? Working alone?"

Lucy nodded.

Vito handed Lucy a hacker prosthetic overheating doll chip and asked a question.

"Approximately how much is this chip worth?"

Lucy glanced at it, handed the chip back to Vito, and said.

"Four hundred and fifty euros, market price."

Vito took the chip and said.

"Thanks, want a smoke?"

Lucy took the cigarette from Vito, and the two began to smoke. Vito, who had just had a new lung transplant, felt that smoking was a bit more enjoyable.

Cough cough cough cough!

David was choking on the smoke, and when Vito saw that David was uncomfortable, he asked David to stand a little further away.

"Do you know that doctor? The one who tried to steal David's."

"Not close, but I know him. Are you going to see him?"

Vito exhaled a puff of smoke and said.

"I hate doctors who lack professional ethics, so he should pay the price."

At this moment, Misty came out and told Vito and David that the situation inside was much better, and Gloria was much better now, but she asked David to take Sianwistan off as soon as possible.

Vito breathed a sigh of relief, put his arm around David's shoulder, and laughed, "Phew! Good thing I didn't tell your mom you dropped out of school."

"What? David dropped out of school?"

Misty covered her mouth; she now felt that David was a disobedient son and Vito was a fallen angel who seduced people.

Vito quickly pulled David and Lucy away, and the three of them went to eat ramen. This was the most enjoyable meal Vito had had since arriving in Night City; the food finally tasted like it was meant to be.

After eating and drinking his fill, Vito asked for the address of the prosthetic doctor. He was going to ask for the money he owed for the "moral dereliction of duty," as the prosthetic implant had cost him quite a bit of money that day.

While Vito was out arranging the car, Lucy invited David to her house. David seemed a little flustered, but after Lucy teased him with the question, "First time?", David agreed to go to Lucy's house and emphasized that it wasn't his first time.

After Vito returned, David told him that he and Vito would go to Lucy's house after they finished their business.

Vito said, "Who asked you to come along? You go do your thing first. I have more than one thing to do tonight; I also need to find some things to gather some equipment. Do as you please. Oh, right, I forgot it's not Mr. Vito's activity time yet. Let's go to a bar and buy a bottle of 400 Rabbit Dionysus. Tell me how you two met, okay?"

The three of them went to a bar and had a few drinks. Vito listened to the story of how David and Lucy met in just three minutes. Well, the two of them knew less about each other than LS's potato chips.

Vito called David over to go to the toilet together.

In the bathroom, Vito handed David a pistol.

"Short, sharp, and fearsome. I've modified this gun, added modules, and changed the bullets. Unlike ordinary guns, the concave bullet can stop a chimpanzee from rushing at you, but the modules prioritize peace. As long as you don't execute someone by holding them down, you'll never kill them. It's absolutely fine for self-defense."

David took the gun with some excitement, but he was still a little confused and asked, "Thank you, Vito, but why are you giving me a gun?"

Vito patted David on the shoulder and said.

"In my hometown, if a pretty girl you've only known for an afternoon invites you to her house, you'll likely find that her house is full of muscular men. Take this thing with you, so you don't come out of the shower with only your own gun in your hand. Remember, sometimes pretty girls are more cunning than the air in LS potato chips."

David blushed.

"I'm just going to her place for a visit, what do you mean by taking a shower?"

Vito handed him two more magazines and said.

"The words may be rough, but the principle is sound: take care of yourself."

"But this is way too rough!"

After leaving the restroom, Vito said goodbye to the two of them, telling David to call him if he needed anything, and then gave the puppet chip to Lucy.

"I made this myself. Take a look and see if there's any difference between it and the ones on the market. Consider it helping me experience the user experience. I'm leaving now, see you next time."

Vito found the prosthetic doctor who wanted to steal David, and it was the same old routine: pointing a gun at David and transferring the money.

But this cyborg doctor is no weakling. He often handles firearms, and there are two burly men in the clinic who help him out. These two men can also act as thugs when necessary.

Seeing that Vito only carried a single pistol, the two burly men grinned and stepped forward. After two shots rang out, the two men fell to the ground.

"Sorry, buddy, this is a custom-made, high-end product."

Vito's pistol wasn't equipped with any "peaceful" features. His modified pistol was incredibly effective at close range, boasting high power and stopping power. It could even penetrate armor-piercing bullets with pointed tips, including armor-piercing capped bullets! Within 25 meters, it was practically a hand cannon, but beyond 25 meters, its power dropped significantly, and beyond 50 meters, the bullets flew erratically.

But nobody would engage in a shootout with a pistol and an assault rifle; 25 meters is enough.

Seeing the two burly men in such a miserable state, the doctor quickly transferred the money, then knelt down and begged Vito to spare him, even handing over the pistol he had hidden behind his back.

"Doctor, you lack medical ethics. I suggest you have a good talk with Dr. Jianpeng."

"Huh? With whom?"

boom!
