Revolution, Cyber ​​Magical Girl!

[Breaking news from District 43: A horrifying case has occurred at the Kara Starbucks cake shop... Who is this mysterious magical girl worth 3000 yen?]

[Are these magical girls abusing their power and about to bare their fangs in evil?]

Living in the same city as magical girls, what will the future of our 43rd district be like?

The president of the Magical Girl Association has stated that he is not involved in this matter and has not yet given a direct response.

The reporting is getting increasingly skewed, but that's just how the world is—every hot topic can be turned into profit.

Metis squatted on the sofa, his eyes quickly scanning the information.

A thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.

Footsteps came from outside the door. Metis quickly closed the browsing interfaces and started a tense and exciting battle with his alternate account.

"Boss's back! Did you make any money? ...Hey, did you go crawling through the sewers?" Metis frowned as he looked at Lu Chaoge who had just entered, his eyes filled with disdain.

Lu Chaoge didn't reply and walked straight into the bathroom. Those NCPD bastards were really chasing him too closely. He did indeed crawl back through the sewers.

"Boss, where's my RAM?! You didn't forget to buy it, did you?!"

Lu Chaoge didn't have the habit of going out to buy things for others, but then she realized that today's matter wouldn't be possible without Metis's help.

Such a powerful hacker would be very important to him in the future, so Lu Chaoge didn't skimp on the money and transferred 50 yuan directly to him.

After he finished washing up and came out, he saw that Metis was already hugging and kissing the newly arrived memory stick and CPU like crazy.

He leaned against the door, looking at the magical girl who was staying at home, his gaze lost in thought.

Did she really not notice?

She was already prepared to confront Metis.

Since Fu Fu had already signed the contract, Lu Chaoge wasn't worried about his identity being exposed.

But Metis acted as if nothing had happened.

Seemingly noticing Lu Chaoge's gaze, Metis turned his head and tilted it as he spoke.

"By the way, did you know that a magical girl appeared in the upper city claiming to be me?"

"I saw the news. It was probably the Magical Girl Association. They're probably trying to cover for you. That's fine."

"Yes, yes, you go ahead with your work, I'm going back to laning."

Metis asked a symbolic question and then immersed himself in the online world.

Lu Chaoge sighed. Since the other party didn't ask, he was too lazy to say anything more and simply sent them a set of data.

"Study the consciousness uploading technology developed by District 13 yourself. Also, find me a cloud storage service that can transfer consciousness, but remember, you must not leak it."

This was clearly beyond Metis's expectations. As a hacker, this thing was just as attractive to her as the company discovering a wild magical girl. Her eyes widened as soon as she got the data.

"Received! I will definitely study it seriously!"

"By the way, boss, just connect to my website directly. You can transfer it to me whenever you need it! The cloud isn't secure because you don't have a company server!"

Should I upload it directly to Metis?

Lu Chaoge was silent for a while, then took out a slice of cake and placed it on the table.

"Hey boss, you even brought back food. Hmm, are you going out again?"

"Yes, the food in the city is good, remember to try it."

Lu Chaoge didn't say anything more, picked up her suitcase and walked out the door.

The box contained a 'disaster beast'.

He had previously messaged Miko to ask when she would be free so he could help install some prosthetics.

Upon learning that the other person was available, Lu Chaoge decided to go see her directly.

The Flower of the Heart no longer overflows with magic, and Lu Chaoge uses the power of a magical girl for the first time.

This power was indeed formidable, far greater than he had anticipated.

However, the power of a magical girl cannot be used at all times, and Lu Chaoge cannot easily transform; it is more of a last resort.

Their own strength alone is still somewhat weak.

Perhaps Lu Chaoge's current level is quite good in the underground city, but when it comes to the company...

The Origin Bomb allows him to easily assassinate those cybernetically enhanced corporate dogs, but when faced with the NCPD and the company's powerful armed forces, Lu Chaoge can only run away.

He needs to become stronger.

It's time to unlock the second phase of [Owl].

Aside from special individuals like magical girls, there is no individual with such immense power that they can reach the heavens.

Or rather, even magical girls don't possess the kind of power that allows them to transcend the world.

For the vast majority of people, the number of cybernetic bodies equals combat power, which means money equals strength.

Ordinary people experience a load when implanting prosthetics, but [Owl] can push that load to its absolute limit.

Leaving aside the terrifying combat skills that [Xiao] brought to Lu Chaoge, this alone is enough to make him worthy of being the strongest fighter soldier.

This is easy to understand; it's like in an MMO where you only have five equipment slots and trigger a set bonus.

That [Owl] can give the host twenty equipment slots and trigger the effects of three or four sets of equipment.

Entering the familiar, dimly lit room, Lu Chaoge met Mi Zi.

The girl was organizing some surgical instruments, and judging from her hurried expression, she seemed to have just arrived.

Although Lu Chaoge already knew that the other party was a magical girl, she still had to pretend that everything was normal for the time being.

A slice of cake was handed to the side, and amidst Miko's surprised gaze, Lu Chaoge's gentle voice rang out.

"Try it."

Miko hesitated for a moment, but still took it. She ate the cake in small bites, and the next moment her eyes sparkled.

"It's so delicious!"

"As long as it tastes good."

Lu Chaoge didn't pay for the 10@ cake.

Because I didn't pay for it, the cake, which was already delicious, tasted even better now.

Lu Chaoge opened the briefcase, revealing the corpse of the 'Disaster Beast' inside.

"Can I have all of these installed on me?"

Miko looked at the dead man, a hint of surprise in her eyes, but no panic. As a cyborg doctor in the underground city, she was used to such things.

"They're all company-grade... some of them don't even seem to be from District 43." Miko fiddled with the corpses for a while, then nodded.

"It's possible, but are you sure you want to put in so many at once? There might be an adverse reaction."

Miko's concerns were not unfounded, but Lu Chaoge did not care. He took off his clothes and lay down on the operating table.

Under the glaring lights, a light, airy voice could be heard.

"It's okay, I'm special."

Nourishes—

The laser beam transformed into a sharp blade, tearing open Lu Chaoge's skin. Miko then took a pair of subcutaneous armor from the corpse and inserted it inside.

With the addition of a secondary heart, including the original heart and the previously modified heart pump, Lu Chaoge now has three hearts.

The mantis blade was folded and stuffed into his right arm, the nervous system was augmented with a coordinator, and the electromechanical core was inserted into Lu Chaoge's stomach to power his entire prosthetic body.

The body has internal electrical circuits that can release an electric arc throughout the body when necessary.

This was a long and arduous transformation.

The cake was placed on Lu Chaoge, with cream and jam falling onto his chest.

While eating, Miko used her abilities to reconstruct these prosthetic bodies, making them fit Lu Chaoge's body better.

She was actually very afraid that Lu Chaoge would suddenly wake up and discover that she was a magical girl.

She was also afraid that Lu Chaoge would continue to beat her while she was asleep. Last time, just that prosthetic body was enough to make her dizzy. This time, she was afraid he would just kill her.

Fortunately, none of my worries came true.

After stitching up the last patch of skin, Miko wiped away her sweat and curled up in a corner of the room.

Miko had silenced Lu Chaoge's nervous system; he had not yet woken up.

So she waited while nibbling on the cake that Lu Chaoge had brought.

The cake was delicious.

Mr. Lu is a good person.

Not only did they take care of her business, but they also gave her such an expensive cake. They even saved Miao-chan's shop before, which was an important asset of the association and one of the few sources of income for all of them.

But all of this is based on the current 'relationship'.

If he knew that he and Nyan-chan were both magical girls, maybe everything would have been different.

"I wish I weren't a magical girl."

"Hmm, could it be different...? Maybe it would have died long ago."

Miko murmured softly as she ate the last piece of cake.

The girl's delicate sorrow drifted lightly into his ears.

Lu Chaoge on the bed did not open his eyes; he chose to sleep a little longer.
