Cyberpunk: I didn't cheat.

Chapter 99 Don't Hesitate Anymore

Strength, with its inherent resilience, brings compassion, patience, mercy, and control, which are key to its role as an anchor.

When the power is reversed.

People will lose patience and try to pry open the lion's mouth with brute force.

My mind is in turmoil, and I've lost my composure due to impatience.

The card hanging above Vito's head is slowly turning reversed.

And David Martinez, the young man who possesses the Wheel of Fortune card, has just started a new cycle with his cards.

On one side are repeated lessons, and on the other side is a fateful encounter.

During his two days of recovery, Vito analyzed the information he had gathered and estimated that the woman impersonating Angel Bishop was Kim Yeon.

She single-handedly plunged Night City into chaos, causing countless deaths. In the end, it is said that everything returned to normal, and no one benefited.

-

Vito was glad he hadn't gone looking for trouble that day. If he had read Kim Yeon's data, endless trouble would have come crashing down on him before he was even prepared.

Wild Wolf's first order was ruined by Kim Yeon. The deliveryman and his car exploded into the sky, even more spectacular than the Great Fireball Technique.

Vito created the first prosthetic volume chip, which was much more difficult to manufacture than he had imagined.

The difficulty in obtaining the materials and the extremely long production time alone mean that the prosthetic capacity chip cannot be a cheap, readily available product.

He inserted the chip into the brain-computer interface for reading.

He saw the prosthetic capacity on the panel increase by six points, then ejected the chip, which then became completely useless.

Vito didn't sense any change; whether it was a success or a failure, at least not today.

After leaving the shooting range, Liying realized she had been obsessed with practicing shooting whenever she had free time. She was indeed talented, and her marksmanship was improving rapidly.

"You're out? What's the future like?"

"The future is incredibly bright; it's even better than I imagined."

"I'm glad you like it. Business has picked up again lately. You and Gloria must be working really hard."

"I'm not having a hard time. Lately, there have just been more cars coming in to repair bullet holes. Gloria is extremely busy. Many people have lost their prosthetic bodies and are coming to Gloria for major surgery."

Vito casually tossed away the used prosthetic capacity chip and then grabbed a small bottle of Coca-Cola from the ice bucket.

"I bought the latest emergency medical chip for Cha. He can help Gloria out, and go wherever she needs help."

Legendary workaholic Xiao Cha recently wanted to buy a retro car, and he was happy to be able to receive three salaries.

That evening, David and Lucy arrived at the clinic. David had already had the prosthetic arm that Mann had left behind installed; he hadn't done anything as cruel as having his mother install a prosthetic arm on him.

Gloria carefully examined David, while Lucy smoked outside the operating room, seemingly preoccupied with many things.

Liying handed Lucy a small bottle of Coke, and Vito handed Lucy a cigarette.

Lucy accepted the couple's feedings.

"Something on your mind?"

Lucy shook her head, not admitting it.

"Was the person who assigned you that order your team's middleman?"

"Yes, his name is Faraday, and he's a mysterious guy."

Lucy, holding a Coke in one hand and a cigarette in the other, answered Vito.

"That guy has a lot of eyes, but he's definitely even more cunning. I met him once, and he was incredibly treacherous."

What about the follow-up tasks? Were they handled properly?

Lucy's hand trembled slightly.

"It's all been handled well; nobody knows we're involved."

"If you don't handle it well, just say so. I'll help you take care of the troublemakers. Gloria is a good person, don't drag her into this. Some people act just like the Tiger Claw Gang."

Lucy took a drag of her cigarette, the memory of secretly damaging David's information in the field flashing through her mind.

She discovers that Tanaka is involved in a secret prosthetic experiment, and that David is the material that Arasaka is eyeing for prosthetic testing.

"It's really been handled well; nobody knows about it."

"have."

"Who?"

"Your middleman."

David and Gloria walked out of the operating room. Vito looked at Gloria, and she nodded slightly.

Vito understood that David's rejection reaction was not severe.

Vito handed David a chip.

"Insert it to read, then eject it; this might be beneficial for implanting prosthetics."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lucy.

"This chip doesn't have a positioning function."

They smiled at each other.

Vito pulled out two Constitutional Military Freedom pistols from under the counter.

"One for each of you, as a small token of my appreciation. From now on, you'll be at the forefront of the team. If you keep using the short and powerful 'Ghost-Slaying' weapon, people will think you can't afford it."

"Lucy can name her own gun, and I'll name yours 'Promise.' Don't forget what you promised me. Once the team is settled, take Gloria and Lucy and leave Night City. Got it?"

David and Lucy took the pistol, and at that moment Gloria wiped her eyes and suddenly slapped Vito on the shoulder.

"Alright, Vito! You must be hot from being all bundled up in this sun. Today we're removing the bandages, so you can finally relax and don't have to cover your wound anymore!"

"Hey, Gloria! I'm rarely this serious, so please let me say a few more words!"

Liying and Gloria wheeled Vito into the operating room.

The laughter of everyone dispelled the gloom.

Click.

Xiao Cha, who was sitting in a chair watching a movie, snapped this photo.

"Little Cha is a photography genius. Next time, Little Cha should try shooting videos."

In the affluent residential area of ​​North Oak.

Romano and his father sat facing each other, the atmosphere very heavy.

"Is this your ambition? To sit in front of the camera and report on today's weather?"

Romano's father scoffed at Romano.

-

"No! The news I want to do can awaken the public, and might even spark a revolution!"

Romano argued, clenching his fists.

Looking at his angry son, Romano's father still spoke in a flippant tone.

"Revolution? In Night City, are you kidding me? Say it again, who are you trying to awaken?"

"Awaken the people of Night City!"

Romano's father burst into laughter, as if he had heard the most ridiculous thing in the world.

"Romano, you should switch to telling jokes! The people of Night City? You mean those idiots who beg for a living at the bottom of society and still divide everyone around them into different classes? If they could be awakened, they would have united and overthrown the company long ago!"

Romano blushed and tried to argue, but his father interrupted him.

"People in Night City, who are preoccupied with how to survive every day, have no time to compare themselves with those around them. Do you think your so-called news can awaken them? Awaken them to build a complete hierarchy of contempt to deceive themselves and then accept the exploitation of the company with peace of mind?"

Don't be silly, son. I was young once too, and I fought for my ideals. I'm not surprised you have these thoughts now, after all, you're my son.

But this city can't be changed by just one report. You keep talking about revolution, but I think it's those South Americans who have misled you."

Romano clenched his fist tighter and tighter.

His father continued speaking.

"Call that scoundrel who's risking his life here. If you want to make a revolution, you need someone to do the bloody work for you."

"ah?"

Romano didn't know what his father meant.

"I sent you to South America hoping to toughen you up, but I never expected you to develop useless compassion there."

"You want to awaken the public, right? I'll give you a platform; let's see what you can achieve."

Romano loosened his clenched fist and looked at his father as if he were meeting him for the first time.
