Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

He was a conceited brat who, under the protection of his middle-class parents, was arrogant and thought he was also a superior person, a member of the rulers of this Night City, and was still studying at Arasaka Academy.

pat, pat.

"With the 400 series super arm and this exclusive kung fu chip, hehe, I really don't know how to describe myself now except as invincible. Even my arms are no longer the weak, useless original arms."

"It's a real blessing for you lowly people to have all my implants used on you. You're incredibly lucky, you lucky fools."

Near the school funded by the Arasaka Group, a middle-class young master who arrived at school in a private car arrogantly blocked V and Jack's way as they were going for their morning run. He had such an arrogant attitude that if there were no security guards, he would be torn to pieces by the Cleaners in Night City in less than two seconds.

"—?!"

Some passersby who were already nearby, along with some who followed to watch the run on their own initiative, and others who were hired by various unknown individuals to track them, were all wide awake in an instant, even though they were drowsy early in the morning.

Holy crap, this is big news?!

Whose young master is so audacious? Daring to break the unspoken rules of waiting to reap the rewards, and go out to eat all the food by himself?

Did he think he was Arasaka's successor, the son of the NCPD director, or the mayor's son?

Hurry, hurry, hurry! No matter who it is, if they take a picture of what's happening right now, they'll make a fortune! This is the first time the Lucky Fools duo has almost been overturned by a cyborg!

"Remember my name, you lowly people, Katsuo Tanaka. Hehehe, this is the one who will crush your absurd, meaningless delusions—Pfft!"

He was so arrogant, introducing himself and his implant, that before Katsuo Tanaka, whose parents both worked at the Arasaka Group, could finish speaking, his eyes nearly popped out, and he spat out everything he had eaten that morning.

The world spun around.

His mind went completely blank for a moment—he knew what had happened. He stood in front of the Lucky Fools duo, his implants were already activated, and the kung fu chip was automatically assisting him. As soon as it sensed an attack, it would immediately help him control his body to use martial arts.

But all these mechanical products were as if they didn't exist.

The two members of this lucky fool duo didn't even glance at him, as if he were completely superfluous. They were only concerned with running in a way that looked so standard and graceful that it was enviable, and were about to pass him, who was in their way.

Then, due to the program he had set up beforehand, the Kung Fu chip was immediately activated to take down the two people who were trying to escape.

As a result, when this lucky duo of fools realized he was about to make a move, they immediately grabbed him from the left and right, each with one hand, and pinned him down the moment he moved. They spun him around, slapped him across the face, and then threw him to the ground.

By the time he realized what had happened, and struggled to get up from the ground while touching his sore cheek, he looked up to see that the lucky duo of fools had already continued running away at top speed, maintaining the most standard and graceful posture, and he couldn't catch up with them.

Moreover, his attitude was not one of running fast because he was afraid of retaliation after hitting him, but rather as if it was a matter of course for him to gradually accelerate.

"I...I lost? I lost? I lost?"

Katsuo Tanaka touched his swollen face, his mouth agape, repeating the same thing over and over again, completely unaware that the entire process had been filmed and was being uploaded online for free by someone who only wanted fame and no profit, allowing countless people to enjoy it.

Young Master Tanaka Katsuo had no idea that he was already stinking up by then.

David Martinez, who took a maglev train from another direction and then walked to school, was much luckier than others who could only watch videos online. Although it wasn't the closest distance, he was in that direction, and just happened to be there, his eyes wide open, seeing it for a full second.

"Wow, that's amazing! What is that? How is that possible? Those two really didn't have cybernetic bodies? That can't be right, but I really can't tell no matter how I look at it. This, this is simply, simply... so cool!"

David was so overwhelmed with emotion that he didn't know what to say.

He had recently become aware of the increasingly famous "lucky fools" duo, but he never expected that they weren't fools at all. Their claim that they could naturally defeat prosthetic bodies was actually true.

But how did they manage to do that? It's completely incomprehensible. Is that the speed, strength, and combat performance that a natural human should have?

David was breathing rapidly. His mother had already done her best to send him to school, and there was simply no money left to buy an implant.

If pure nature can truly defeat cyborgs, then if he could learn the secrets from those two people, wouldn't he be able to truly fight back against the contempt and disdain he faces from those poor people at school?

Then we won't have to resort to verbal retorts just because the other person has an implant.

"Great, great, V, Jack!"

David was already imagining that future, and he decided that starting tomorrow, he would go and talk to those two people.

As for today, well... because the school equipment needs to be upgraded again, and the upgrade will cost a lot of money, my mother's salary simply cannot afford it, so I secretly found an illegal doctor to modify my system so that I can continue to access the courses like other students who upgraded their systems without having to upgrade.

I just don't know how effective it will be. I hope nothing goes wrong.

"call."

David took a deep breath and prayed that everything would go well.

……

[It's over, V, Jack.]

At the end of the day's exercise, Lao Qi gave a reminder.

"Huff..." V and Jack were both panting heavily. After doing some excessive exercise, they slowly rested, their faces full of fatigue. "I know, so tell me, how far are we from achieving our goal today? This is so annoying."

[Perfect! I knew you guys could do it, and you really did! V, Jack, you've exceeded all today's goals. Tonight, I'll treat you to something different and unlock more food as a reward.]

V waved his hand impatiently: "I know, I know, stop with the nonsense. I'm asking how far we are from our goal today..."

Wait a minute.

What did that inherently evil seventh brother say again?

"No, you, I... what do you mean?" Jack was completely stunned, looking at his best friend, "Brother, did I hear that right?"

You've all exceeded today's targets. Look at the time, V, Jack, we're finishing earlier than ever before.

[Perhaps it was Tanaka Katsuo's provocation that unintentionally ignited your latent competitive spirit. Well done!]

"Tanaka Katsuo? Who's that?"

Jack tilted his head and looked at V in confusion. "Wait, who is this guy? I don't recognize him at all."

Tanaka Katsuo, Tanaka Katsuo...

"what!"

I remember now. Although it's an unfamiliar name, a name I could easily forget, it's definitely a name I have a vague recollection of. I remember it was around six in the morning when I passed by a company dog ​​at Arasaka Academy, carrying an implant and the latest kung fu chip, and then...

"We defeated him in one fell swoop?"

V couldn't believe it was real, and Jack couldn't even imagine it. They were so focused on their workout that they didn't even realize what had happened or what they had done that morning.

Although that company bastard is a typical novice, no matter how novice he is, his physical attributes are still beyond what ordinary people can compare to. Back when the two of them were mercenaries, their implants were no match for that young master.

But now, having removed all their implants, they actually managed to take down the cyborg with a single punch each?

Is this reasonable?

V was shocked and stared in astonishment at the seventh puppet on the ground.

Dude, so you haven't been lying all this time? Holy crap, can a natural person really be this awesome?

"My grass..."

I, a natural person, am invincible?

Holy crap, this old seventh brother wasn't a swindler after all; he actually taught us the invincible path?!

Volume 1: 472. David: Coach, I want to play basketball.

472. David: Coach, I want to play basketball.

All the past events seemed to vanish in an instant, and both V and Jack felt that they suddenly couldn't remember anything from the past.

Oh dear, a prosthetic body? What prosthetic body? I don't know anything about it, I'm really not familiar with it, don't try to associate yourself with City Bumpkin Technology.

Look at my muscles, look at my graceful figure!

"Hey, hehe, hehehe..."

They both started grinning foolishly, practically drooling.

Even if it were that young master, Katsuo Tanaka, they could easily defeat him if he were still using his cybernetic body. After all, although the young master's equipment was better, he was still a complete novice and didn't even have any ranged weapons.

Even with ranged weapons, unless they are truly beyond the limits of what's possible, the young master would still be certain to die against the two of them in their cybernetic form.

However, the satisfaction of defeating others by relying on the numerical value of a prosthetic body is completely different from the satisfaction of winning by relying on one's own strong physique built up over time; it's like heaven and earth.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be an animal gang.

The so-called Animal Gang is a gang that almost never uses conventional electronic implants.

The members of this gang undergo biological and chemical enhancements to make their bodies bigger and stronger, such as using powerful testosterone and growth hormone. They are also trained in boxing or other fighting techniques, are proficient in close combat, and prefer to defeat their enemies through close-quarters fighting.

This gang has quite a few members; it's one of the larger gangs in Night City.

If taking drugs can provide this much pleasure, then the truly natural thing must be even more pleasurable.

At that moment, V and Jack both felt like they had ascended to heaven.

Wake up! Have a good laugh, that's enough. This little bit of progress? You guys don't really think you've met my real requirements, do you? No way, no way!

"I only slowed down the pace of raising the standards because I saw you all struggling to meet my goals. Your real good days are yet to come."

"Still got cocky, huh? Looks like Jeeps need to keep up with the times; tomorrow we'll pull out a tank and chase you down."

"!"

The devilish seventh brother was the kind of person who used a suppressive style of education, which immediately made V and Jack gasp and shake their heads like rattles, "We dare not get arrogant, we dare not!"

[You don't dare? If you don't dare, then hurry up and go help the people three blocks away. There's been a car accident over there, and you couldn't even hear the commotion? I think your ears really need a good workout!]

"what?"

【What do you mean, "Huh"?】

"No...wasn't your goal to turn everyone into pure nature? We've passed through many places over the past month, and there have been car accidents, shootings, and all sorts of things, but I haven't seen you ask us to help. What's going on today?"

Is he having a fit?

V is not afraid to make malicious speculations.

[Stop talking nonsense. The past is the past, and the present is the present. If you dare not go to rescue them and cause even one innocent victim to die, you can imagine what I will do!]

The seventh brother's tone was not only stern, but also angry and urgent.

He had previously ignored various events because his power was sealed, preventing him from protecting V and Jack.

He knew very well that if the two of them were involved in many things, even if it was just about saving people, it would inevitably attract a lot of crises, and then there would be no peace.

Let alone exercise time, I'm afraid we'll be running around like headless chickens from then on, struggling just to protect ourselves.

He couldn't possibly let V and Jack, who were just starting out, die just to save the other Hags, could he?

But things are finally getting better now; things are different now.

The two young men were making progress faster than he had expected. With their current strength, even if they offended someone while saving people, they would at least have the basic ability to protect themselves.
