Revolution, Cyber ​​Magical Girl!

An old jeep sped through the mud of the underground city.

Rod drank and smoked, the old car stereo playing broken music, and talked to Lu Chaoge about his daughter.

"She's been in a coma for ten years. You saw the bill before; it's a brain problem. Only the central medical facility in the entire underground city can cure her. That's the company's medical institution; the unlicensed quacks on the street can't do it."

"But I'm only 30 days away from getting my daughter the final stage of treatment at the central medical center. If I didn't really need the money, I wouldn't have taken the job from the Magical Girl Association."

He turned his head and excitedly spoke to Lu Chaoge, "Lu, do you know, my daughter is very cute, she..." Rod's voice was tinged with excitement, and his hands on the steering wheel trembled slightly.

"Enough, Rhodes! I believe your daughter is adorable, but you better focus on driving properly! And stop making promises you can't keep!"

Lu Chaoge was flustered. He wasn't sure if the other person's trembling hands were due to genuine emotion or simply because they were drunk.

But soon, the car stopped.

Looking at the already congested road, Rhodes frowned. "Damn it, how come there are cops here, and NCPD ones at that?"

The roads were completely blocked off, and countless police officers in NCPD uniforms surrounded the area.

NCPDs generally don't come to the lower city unless there's a major event, such as a mass riot or cyberbullying.

The underground city is a no-man's-land.

"Has something happened in the dungeon lately? Nothing's happened, so what are they investigating?" Rhodes looked at the NCPD members, feeling a little guilty.

After all, his car was stolen; what if the other party made him pay a fine?

Luo De felt guilty, and Lu Chaoge's heart was pounding wildly; his heart rate had reached an abnormal state.

This is due to the effects of the brain-computer interface; Lu Chaoge's original heart is already starting to give out.

Lu Chaoge looked at the group of NCPD members in front of her. Although she was not sure, could these people be here to investigate "herself"?

Or rather, it's the brain-computer interface chip with the codename "Owl".

"Isn't the sidewalk quite wide?"

Lu Chaoge really wanted to say that, but she held back.

Following the flow of people, Lu Chaoge and his companion gradually moved to the front.

Rhodes poked his head out, flashing a forced smile at the NCPD members, revealing his chipped front tooth. "Bro, what's going on? We're perfectly law-abiding citizens!"

"Get out of the car and stop talking nonsense." A lion-like police officer with a full mane spoke coldly, giving him no friendly look.

Rod got out of the car nervously. The other party was comparing his facial information and connecting a data cable to his brain-computer interface.

One end of the data cable is connected to a machine, on which a dense stream of data flows.

Soon, Rod noticed that the lion police officer's eyes lit up.

Seriously, officer? Why make such a fuss over stealing a car? I can just pay the fine and be done with it.

"What did you do at the amusement park on plot 7 last night?"

"I..." Rod felt guilty.

"explain!"

"I said, I went to steal a car, I just stole a car! I didn't do anything else!"

Rod was ready to pay the fine, but then he noticed disappointment in the other person's eyes.

"He's fine, just a ruthless hacker, but he can provide a lot of medical and tax information. The system didn't detect anything unusual." Another person in charge of the machine shook his head. He wasn't dressed as an NCPD employee, but rather as a member of Ruian Technology.

Ruian Technology and NCPD jointly investigate a case?

strange.

Rod knew he had passed this test and his expression was no longer guilty. He turned to greet Lu Chaoge, but found that the other party's expression seemed a little strange.

"get off!"

Lu Chaoge sat in the car, her gaze fixed on the blocked road.

The last glimmer of hope was crushed; it was now certain that the other party was after him.

Driven by the brain-computer interface data of the [codename - Owl].

Lu Chaoge was thinking.

She wondered if she could transform into a magical girl, instantly kill all these people, and leave Area 43 alive.

The answer is yes.

But without a doubt, this is a foolish idea. If magical girls can't even survive in District 43, they'll have even less of a chance in other cities.

Lu Chaoge shook her head and got out of the car.

Well, let's just take it one step at a time.

"Why not get out of the car? No, wait, the guy in the car... he's been to that amusement park too."

The facial recognition system triggered an alarm.

"What were you doing there yesterday? What happened?"

My car was stolen.

"?" NCPD officer Lion looked at Rod and Lu Chaoge with a puzzled expression. "You let him steal it while you were driving?"

"Yeah, bro, we're best buddies!" Rod leaned over, put his arm around Lu Chaoge's shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "Don't cause trouble. They're all equipped with company-grade cybernetic implants. We can't beat them."

Even without Rod saying it, Lu Chaoge understood that the unusual situation on their side had already attracted the attention of the others, and the terrorist mobile team members dressed in blue had already picked up their weapons.

As the brain-computer interface connected to the data cable, Lu Chaoge knew that he would be exposed in the next second.

Sitting idly by and waiting to die is not Lu Chaoge's habit. His left prosthetic eye has already analyzed all the people around him, a total of eighteen. After transforming into a magical girl, he should be able to defeat them in no more than three seconds.

Suddenly, a fleeting glimpse of blue flashed before my eyes.

Name: Lu Chaoge

[Mecha Identity: Magical Girl - Codename Iris]

[Consciousness Regression: 0% (No data to be collected, regression process cannot be started)]

Access has been blocked without leaving a trace.

[Evaluation: Low-level construction]

The system panel has changed for the first time.

The system blocked the machine's scan targeting him and even made a vulgar remark.

This was completely unexpected for Lu Chaoge, because he had almost forgotten about this system, which was similar to the one in the district.

He really wanted to say, "System, you're not dead?"

But for now, he has to pretend that everything is normal.

"Damn, he's fine too, but..." The person from Rui'an Company glanced at Lu Chaoge.

"However, he has a corporate-level nervous system and prosthetic eye."

"Secondhand goods?" Upon hearing this, Officer Lion narrowed his eyes.

Company-grade prosthetics should not be circulating in the dungeon; even if they exist, they are secondhand and illegal.

"The data stream is clean and unmodified; it's original. We can't find any personal information, so we guess..." The person from Ruian Technology's expression turned grim.

As soon as he finished speaking, Officer Lion looked at Lu Chaoge with some surprise, and his tone became a bit more polite.

"No wonder you wanted to hide; so you used to be a corporate slacker. What did you do?"

Lu Chaoge looked at him, pondered for a moment, and then calmly said.

"I used to be an accountant."

These words were spoken.

The crowd that had gathered around scattered in an instant, their eyes filled with terror.

Officer Lion was immediately filled with respect and saluted Lu Chaoge before politely raising his hand to let him pass.

What is an accountant?

That's one of the most terrifying professions in the world; you'd be begging someone who dies not to spill their blood on you.

Tax evasion is one of the most serious crimes under the law today. In ancient terms, it is considered a violation of the laws of Heaven. These accountants are involved in too many major karmic consequences.

In this capitalist world, money is everything.

An accountant is someone who manages money.

Therefore, accountants are essentially in control of the world.

Even the company system can't find his past. Who knows, this kid might have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. The fact that he's not dead means that someone doesn't want to touch him. If something happens to him here, it will be too late to cry.

"Oh, right, here you go. Take care of yourself, go to bed early and get up early." Officer Lion tossed a small medicine bottle in through the window.

Under the watchful eyes of the NCPD and numerous corporate employees, Lu Chaoge and Luo De left.

They hadn't gone far when Rod spoke up, looking nervous.

"No, bro, you're an accountant. Why didn't you say so sooner?"

"What are you afraid of? I'm just talking nonsense. Do I look like an accountant?" Lu Chaoge replied dismissively, then opened the small medicine bottle of the lion police officer, poured out a few pills, and swallowed them.

"I think it's quite similar. You seem quite cultured, especially since you helped me with my medical bills before. By the way, why are you taking drugs? If you really can't handle it, try drinking some alcohol. Taking drugs can easily lead to problems."

Lu Chaoge didn't say anything; he was taking blood pressure medication.

It's likely that the lion officer noticed his heart was beating too fast.

After swallowing the medicine, Lu Chaoge's heart rate finally came down.

"Alright, stop worrying about whether I'm an accountant or not. Aren't you doing tasks to earn money to save your daughter?"

After his persuasion, Rod finally focused on driving, and Lu Chaoge breathed a sigh of relief. He then opened an online shopping platform to prepare to take out a loan to buy some weapons.

To do a good job, one must first have the right tools. For Lu Chaoge, upgrading his 25@ work is worthwhile.

Just as Lu Chaoge selected a few weapons and was about to place an order, Rhodes turned his head to look at them and then shook his head.

"Don't go to those platforms, they're too expensive. I'll find you a place."

"Black market weapons? I've seen them before, and their quality is questionable." Lu Chaoge made no attempt to hide his disdain.

"Don't worry, you used to be a company dog, how could I possibly find you that kind of trash? I still need to make money on this job, I don't want the prosthetic arm I installed to make me unable to distinguish friend from foe and then turn around and slap myself in the face."

Rod spoke confidently, then swung the car around and drove straight into a commercial district.

The GG signs on the high-rise buildings displayed various immersive virtual games, and the heavy metal music in the background had somehow changed to anime style. The shops on the street were filled with all kinds of high-tech electronic products, and there were even underground bands performing along the street. The neon lights kept flashing, and everything was so prosperous that it was like a dream.

If it weren't for the genuine bunny girl upperclassmen wearing only ears and tails greeting them everywhere on the street, and the background music mixed with panting sounds, and the electronic brothel experience pods moving around the streets, Lu Chaoge would have almost thought this was some place called Akihabara.

"What am I doing here? I'm not some idiot from the anime/manga world."

Lu Chaoge was a little puzzled as she had never been to these places before, while Luo De raised an eyebrow and walked directly toward a shop.

「ごMaster様、いらっしゃいませ!」

Outside the shop, a mechanical dog carrying a cannon barrel greeted Lu Chaoge enthusiastically with the voice of a cute anime girl. He was stunned for a moment, and as soon as he followed her into the shop, he was immediately stunned by the scene before him.

"Holy crap, Hatsune Miku?"

A giant Hatsune Miku figure is placed in the center of the store. Her body is mechanical with flexible joints, and she is currently performing a pole dance around the store's supporting pillars.

The pale green twin tails swayed gently behind her, which was the only way Lu Chaoge could recognize her, because apart from those twin tails, the Hatsune Miku figure was completely naked.

"You know him?" Rhodes was a little surprised. Didn't he just say he wasn't some idiot anime fan?

"Who doesn't know Hatsune Miku?" Lu Chaoge said confidently, but Luo De shook his head.

"You're definitely not a fan of anime, otherwise you wouldn't have called her by the wrong name. This isn't Hatsune Miku, it's Ultra Miku, the most popular virtual singer of the 21st century." Rhodes pointed to the figure label next to him.

It really is Supersonic Future...

Lu Chaoge rubbed her eyes, wanting to say something, but then gave up.

There was no one in the shop, or rather, only a female robot with a tail and data cable attached to her back and a round ball on her head. At that moment, a two-dimensional catgirl popped out of the ball.

"Hello, meow, what would you like to buy, meow?" the anime-style cat girl asked. Clearly, this was the virtual avatar of the boss behind the scenes, and the real person was not here.

Luo De stepped forward to talk to the other party, while Lu Chaoge wandered around the store.

He saw many classic anime characters from his memory, but none of the names matched, and upon closer inspection, he found that they were somewhat different from his memories.

Let's just consider it a parallel world... Lu Chaoge had long accepted this fact, but looking at those familiar things from her memories, she still sighed a little.

"Lu, stop looking."

Rod had clearly made a deal with that anime character, and at that moment, Meow Girl led Lu Chaoge to the back door of the shop.

This shop is indeed a hidden gem.

As the door opened, a low, dark staircase was revealed. Lu Chaoge and Luo De walked in, but immediately, a spirited shout came from behind them.

"Anime is the best, meow!" The cat girl shouted out of nowhere and then slammed the door shut.

"What do you mean?" Lu Chaoge's expression remained very wary. In this situation, if the other party wanted to harm him, they would be like catching a turtle in a jar.

"Don't worry, bro. There are a lot of bad guys in District 43, but these anime fans are just a bit weird. Compared to the others, they're practically good guys," Rhodes replied casually.

Lu Chaoge thought about it and realized that it made sense. Why was he arguing with the two-dimensional world when everyone else preferred anime characters?

"Choose yours. This is the best arms shop in the dungeon. They have all kinds of high-tech products: prosthetics, chips, drones, mechanical dogs... and the prices are less than half of what you'd find on the platform. Plus, they come with a 30-day warranty."

"How come I didn't know this place before!" Lu Chaoge looked at the long row of weapons and cybernetic devices with a surprised expression.

"This place is not open to individuals; only gangs can access it. And there are no more than three gangs in the dungeon qualified to trade here, and our Big O is one of them." Rhodes' tone was proud, but when he thought that the other party might be an accountant, his tone lowered.

Lu Chaoge didn't say anything more and began to carefully select weapons.

In this day and age, weapons are no longer limited to guns and cannons, but also include prosthetic bodies.

Some extreme individuals have their entire bodies modified with cybernetic implants, essentially becoming human arsenals.

Lu Chaoge doesn't have many prosthetic bodies.

A company-grade prosthetic eye, a company-grade nervous system, a company-grade high-end combat system plugin, and a right hand with simple cybernetic modifications.

Although body modification has become common knowledge in the world, the wealthier people are, the less likely they are to undergo body modification.

Lu Chaoge doesn't plan to install too many prosthetics on his body for the time being, so he mostly chooses external weapons.

Half an hour later, Lu Chaoge and Luo De walked out of the store.

Savior grenade launcher, Thor rifle, Death Bomb grenade, folding laser blade that can be hidden in the palm of the right hand, and a high-grade bulletproof vest.

These are all top-quality goods.

The total cost was 5@. Lu Chaoge glanced at her balance and saw she only had 3.2@ left!

This is truly a do-or-die situation.

"This shop is pretty good, isn't it? Now that we've met, you can come by yourself next time." Rod said, glancing at Lu Chaoge, "Why aren't you wearing that bulletproof vest yet?"

Lu Chaoge took a deep breath, his gaze complex as he looked at the weapons he had purchased.

Each weapon was printed with various anime-style patterns; the explosive grenades were printed with a demon ball, the grenade launchers were printed with a bull, and the cannon barrels were decorated with anime-style women.

Especially that Thor's Gun; he just tried it out, and its firepower is very strong. However, it has a sound module attached to it, and it emits a soft moan when it fires.

Then look at that bulletproof vest.

A patch of white skin was printed on it, and the most attractive part was obviously carefully designed, with the position of the large breasts avoiding vital organs such as the heart.

To be honest, Lu Chaoge thought it was an excellent design; the person who came up with the idea of ​​printing nudity on bulletproof vests was a fucking genius.

But I'm going to wear this to fight someone...

Lu Chaoge thought for a moment, then closed her eyes in despair.

"Idiot anime fans!"
