From ship girl to machine god

From a certain perspective, Night City today is actually quite free, but what this freedom brings is not a beautiful future, but endless chaos.

Old Morgan, who calmed down to think, couldn't help but think along the lines described by Blue Bird. If he could bring a new order to Night City and unite and organize all the people oppressed by the company, how huge this force would be. Can't even imagine.

Because when he and Johnny Silverhand blew up Arasaka Tower, the only people who followed them were just a small group of mercenaries.

If the entire population of Night City had been willing to follow them to overthrow the company, perhaps they would have realized their dream of driving the company out of Night City.

Thinking of this, even though old Morgan was already dozens of years old, he still couldn't help but feel excited.

If it weren't for the old man's body being as strong as a bull, Qingniao would have been really worried that he would pull away because of his fast heartbeat.

However, when old Morgan eagerly wanted to talk to Jade Bird about his ideal future, Jade Bird shook his head and said: "We can talk about these later. If you want to achieve all this, you can't do it overnight. No matter what you want to do, , everyone should focus on the present, accumulate strength first, and develop like-minded people."

Having said this, Qingniao seemed to have remembered something, and solemnly warned Old Morgan: "Any oppressor does not want to see someone resist and ignite the fire of hope, because that means their end and destruction. So they will spare no effort to extinguish these flames.

If you really plan to do something to change Night City, then please be careful. I know you are a legend in Night City. You once defeated Adam Hammer's Morgan Blackhand, but one person's power is limited. Yes, you must pay attention to confidentiality and security when doing these things. "

"Don't worry, little girl, I'm more professional than you in this kind of thing." Old Morgan showed a confident smile, and at the same time felt warm in his heart that Jade Bird could care about him.

Although he still wanted to chat more with Qingniao, he still glanced at the clock on the wall and said: "After dinner, just sleep here at my place tonight. It's already so late and it's not convenient for you to go back to the city alone. "

Old Morgan didn't think that Qingniao could not return to the city alone. Now that he knew that Qingniao was a ship girl, he naturally would not doubt her fighting ability.

Just out of the emotion of an old man caring about his granddaughter, Old Morgan instinctively showed some kindness, just like he was willing to help Blue Bird when he first saw her.

Faced with Old Morgan's concern, Qingniao did not refuse, but just nodded: "Okay."

Chapter 22 Cyber ​​Martial Arts

After staying one night at Old Morgan's farm and witnessing the Six Street Gang's nighttime martial arts contest that has been passed down in the United States for hundreds of years, Jade Bird sat in Old Morgan's old car after having breakfast the next morning. The old pickup truck is back in town.

"Say, do you want me to buy you a new car? This car looks quite old." Standing at the door of the next life, Qingniao looked at the old pickup truck in front of him. Although it was well maintained, it was indeed a very old car.

However, Old Morgan smiled and shook his head: "Do you think I don't have the money to replace the car? I'm used to driving the old car. And don't look at it now, it's much easier to drive than those new cars. I'll give you a chance to see it. Just look at how powerful it is.”

Hearing Old Morgan say this, Qingniao took a serious look at this inconspicuous old pickup truck.

"Strengthened car body, enhanced power suspension, carbon ceramic brake calipers, high-efficiency kinetic energy recovery system..." Jade Bird showed admiration in his eyes, and said in admiration: "Although they are old, these modifications are really great! It's It's in very good condition, but it's a good car as you said."

For the Blue Bird, it is just a ground vehicle, and it is easy to see its details clearly.

Looking at this old pickup truck that had obviously been carefully modified, Qingniao couldn't help but said to Old Morgan: "It makes me want to buy a car."

"What kind of car does a kid drive? The most you can do is drive a gadget like Juan Bei Wu Wu. Can you get the brakes on a big car?" Old Morgan teased Jade Bird like a stubborn old man.

But what he said is also true. The little girl-sized Blue Bird is indeed unable to reach the brakes and accelerator while sitting in the car.

Hearing Old Morgan say this, Qingniao just raised his eyebrows with pretense of disdain: "So what? At worst, we can modify it and integrate the brake and accelerator into the steering wheel. You can drive with just your hands. Legs are not necessary. You adults won’t understand.”

After saying that, Jade Bird jumped out of Old Morgan's car and walked towards the Afterlife Bar.

Watching the blue bird leave, Old Morgan just smiled without saying anything, turned the steering wheel and prepared to go back.

However, at this moment, the mercenary whom he had taught him a lesson suddenly blocked his way with several people, and even pointed a gun at old Morgan's head.

Not only that, Old Morgan also saw a few guys trying to stop the blue bird who wanted to come in for life.

The situation in front of him made old Morgan burst into laughter, wondering if he had retreated from the world for too long, so that cats and dogs dared to stab him.

However, just when Old Morgan was about to get out of the car and teach them a lesson, he heard two thumps and the few guys who had just gone to try to stop the Blue Bird were knocked into the air and hit the wall of the building nearby. It paused for a moment before falling down.

If it were a Chinese martial arts novel, there would be a sentence here called "Hitting people is like hanging paintings", which is as powerful as the flesh and blood.

However, this is a cyberpunk world. Seeing this scene, the most you can do is exclaim that the other party must be using a military prosthetic body.

"Ah~ It's really off-putting. I was in a good mood today." Qingniao came back again and looked at the few mercenaries surrounding Old Morgan's car. The expression on his face fell and he said unhappily. : "In order to prevent people as blind as you from ruining my good mood in the future, I can only let you work hard... to change your bones."

Qingniao said, and stepped hard on the ground, crushing the cement on the ground, and the whole person disappeared in an instant.

Just before the few mercenaries could realize what was going on, they felt as if they had been hit by a heavy truck, and their whole bodies flew up.

When their brains resumed work and they realized what had happened, the group of mercenaries had been piled into a pile and thrown into the trash can next to the afterlife.

"You moved so fast. If I hadn't known better, I would have thought you were pretending to be Sianwistan." Old Morgan sat in the car, looking at Jade Bird who slowly retracted his fist, and joked at her.

Just joking, old Morgan finally clearly realized how terrifying a ship girl's combat power is.

Of course he could tell from his perspective that Qingniao had no fighting experience or training in this area. She relied entirely on her powerful strength to push her legs on the ground. The powerful thrust generated by her body accelerated her body to a point that the naked eye could not react to. speed, and then used the same powerful upper body strength to knock the person away.

Old Morgan estimated that even if he took such a punch, he would probably have to go to a prosthetist to have half of his bones replaced.

But even so, those mercenaries were still not dead, they just had broken bones as Qingniao said.

This shows that she held back, or that this was not her true strength.

After all, with the speed that Blue Bird can reach beyond the limit of visual reaction, it is easier and faster to kill these guys than to break all their bones.

"Forget it, I'm really not interested in that thing inserted into the spine, and its improvement is too limited." Blue Bird waved his hand, seemingly not interested in the top prosthetic body in Night City: "If you want me I can help you get one, but I remember that you used to work for military technology. Aren’t their military prosthetics of the best quality? Didn’t I get one for you?”

Hearing what Jade Bird said, Old Morgan just smiled and showed off his prosthetic limb: "I only have this prosthetic body, and I made it myself. Believe me, one day, you will have to pick up the gun with your own hands. Aim with your own eyes and pull the trigger.”

"Well, I agree with this. If the prosthetic body is inserted too much, it will either lose its humanity or become a cyber lunatic." Qingniao agreed with this. After all, in the world view of cyberpunk, the prosthetic body will not be inserted into the human body. Any more will not end well.

V Zhentian's orange prosthetic body is in the game. If it were placed in the real Night City, that body would turn into a cyberpsychosis in a matter of seconds.

That is to say, a monster like Adam Hammer can increase his transformation level to more than 90%, and that is based on the fact that Arasaka, a large company, has been providing him with technical support, and all the prosthetics in his body are in a system framework. It was only realized next time.

I randomly inserted several prosthetics produced by different companies into my body, and even the best prosthetic doctor in Night City, Lao Wei, couldn't make them compatible.

But for Aotori, once she activates the medical module and engineering module, she can customize a human body. Even with the Soul Killer's consciousness uploading technology, she can create a human body like Motoko Kusanagi. .

Of course, there was no need to elaborate on these with Old Morgan, so Blue Bird just said goodbye to him again and walked into the next life.

Chapter 23 Garbage removal work

It will still be the same in the next life. Bluebird walked through the door guarded by Emeric, walked into the bar, found a seat at the bar and sat down.

"What do you want?" The bartender saw Qingniao's arrival and asked her politely, without any discrimination because she was just a little girl.

As a bartender in the next life, you still need to have the necessary vision.

Jade Bird had drank with Rogge several times before. As the bartender who served the drinks, he had seen it all, so he naturally understood that Jade Bird was not as simple as it seemed.

Naturally, Jade Bird was not polite. He thought for a moment and said, "Have a drink of Morgan Blackhand."

"Sorry Miss, although Morgan Blackhand is qualified to leave a glass of wine in the next life, he himself has not been confirmed dead, so there is no Morgan Blackhand here. How about a cup of Johnny Silverhand?" The bartender asked Qingniao slightly embarrassed. suggested.

The bartender at this time was not the transsexual modified car master that Jade Bird had seen in the game, but an unfamiliar male bartender.

Qingniao was not very familiar with this story line, but he roughly remembered that the later bartender lost his lover due to underground racing a year before the story began, and then became a bartender in the next life.

But Qingniao didn't pay attention to this. He just thought about it in his mind and said: "Forget it, Johnny Silverhand has already drank. Make me another drink, one shot of vodka and a small cola."

"Okay, wait a minute." The bartender heard Qingniao ordering wine, so he started mixing it.

While the bartender was mixing drinks, Roger walked in from the outside. When they passed the bar, they saw the blue bird and sat down together.

"A glass of whiskey." Rogge shouted to the bartender. He saw the bartender mixing drinks for Blue Bird, so he said to her: "Drinking early in the morning? This is not a good habit."

"Aren't you the same? Are you looking for me if you have anything?" Qingniao looked at Rogge and didn't pay attention to her words.

Rogge nodded, but did not speak immediately. Instead, he waited for the bartender to place two glasses of wine in front of the two of them, and then he said: "I have already found the next home for the last batch of goods. Yours One copy can be transferred to you, do you need to transfer it to you now?”

Hearing that his money could be credited, Qingniao suddenly became energetic and nodded with satisfaction: "Call me... No, you give me 20 first, and use the remaining money to help me get something. As the top middleman in Night City, you should have access to some lathes for machining, right?"

"A lathe for machining? What price and specifications do you want?" Rogge picked up his wine glass and asked casually while also giving a quotation: "A machining workbench for personal use only costs about two thousand euros. , a better metal processing workstation costs about [-] to [-] euros, and a larger mechanical lathe ranges from hundreds of thousands to several million euros, which one do you need?”

After hearing Rogge's quotation, Jade Bird made an estimate and secretly checked the engineering module activation conditions displayed on the core. After thinking about it, he said: "Get me a metal processing workstation worth about [-] euros. Look at the money. Just keep it buttoned."

"Okay, I've made a note of this. I'll contact the source of the goods later. The goods should be delivered within three days." Rogge didn't say much. This kind of small business is really nothing.

After talking about business, Rogge had nothing to do for a while, so he sat at the bar and chatted with Qingniao while drinking wine.

Until a call came in, interrupting the conversation between Rogge and Jade Bird.

"...Okay, I get it, I happen to have a good person here." Rogge hung up the phone, then looked at Jade Bird and asked her: "Is there an urgent job for you? If you accept it, , I can get you the best product for the metal processing workstation you want."

Hearing what Rogge said, although he had no additional requirements for the quality of the metal processing workstation, Qingniao still raised his eyebrows and motioned for Rogge to continue.

"There was a client who was drunk last night and was kidnapped by a scavenger. I need you to rescue him before he is ripped out by those kidney cutters." Rogge said as he prepared to send the mission information to Qingniao, then realized that she did not have a personal terminal.

Qingniao noticed Rogge's expression, so he took out his data pad and motioned for her to insert the separation chip on it.

Without saying anything else, Rogge pulled out a chip from the back of his head and inserted it into Blue Bird's data board.

"This customer is a director of military technology. Although he is a corporate dog, he has a way to get top military technology products, so I have been keeping in touch with him. The metal processing workstation you want can also be obtained through him." While Rogge was browsing the mission information, Rogge also explained the identity of this customer to her: "So if you want good goods, it is necessary to save his life, and I don't want to lose this relationship. You have to know that it is very troublesome to open up the relationship with the director of military technology again."

At this time, Qingniao had finished browsing the mission information, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. He raised his sleeves and wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "I know, I will find this person, but I can only guarantee that he is intact." of."

After saying that, Qingniao jumped off the chair at the bar and turned around to leave.

However, after walking a few steps, she looked back at Rogge and asked her, "By the way, does it matter if we kill all the scavengers?"

"It's up to you, no one cares whether they live or die." Rogge acted like he was talking about whether a napkin should be thrown into the toilet or the trash can.

The blue bird got the answer he wanted, raised two fingers and tapped his forehead before leaving the next life.

She had memorized the relevant information about the mission just now, and it had to be said that Rogge, as the most powerful middleman in Night City, gave very comprehensive information.

It not only contains the location and specific whereabouts of the customer when he disappeared last night, as well as his complete personal information and identification characteristics, but also marks the suspected scavenger strongholds around the customer's missing location, and also indicates which of these strongholds most likely.

With these, with Jade Bird's ability, she only needs to scan these strongholds to accurately rescue the client.

But it was clear that Bluebird, who had no good impression of the scavenger, did not intend to just save people. She wanted to clean up some garbage so as to make some contribution to the environmental cause of Night City.

However, the client disappeared last night, and although he should still be alive by now, time is indeed a bit tight, so Jade Bird does not plan to rush there in the usual way, but plans to use his own ship to fly over.

Chapter 24 Supersonic Knife Technique

This is the first time that Bluebird calls out for her birthright ship attire as a ship girl.

Although she had already summoned and used the Night Sparrow and Peregrine Falcon as part of the ship's equipment, as well as the Kite drone auxiliary module, she had completely summoned her entire ship's equipment and equipped it on her body. With the power of a ship girl, This is the first time that the complete form appears.

There is no unreliable setting in the Two-dimensional game where the more exposed the higher the defense, nor does it have the huge anti-gravity front armor and light clothes like the Bilan family.

Some of them are just a thin and close-fitting steel armor wrapped around the legs, torso and arms of the blue bird. If it weren’t for the various weapons transformed from the ship’s armor on the blue bird, it would look more like a woman in some kind of science fiction game. Combat uniform.

Two 166-unit short-bow anti-missile anti-aircraft rocket launch nests are hung on the left and right sides of the blue bird's waist. The 20-75mm sword-high-level dual-purpose electromagnetic rail gun is shrunk like an additional artillery module and is located on the right shoulder of the blue bird. , and her left shoulder is a paving stone electronic warfare suppression module that looks like a miniature radar base station model.

As for the Feiyuan UAV auxiliary module, it hangs on the back of the Blue Bird like a semi-circular arc scale spread out on both sides. The two miniature Peregrine Falcons above are fully loaded with ammunition and can take off at any time to serve as floating cannons, while the two Nightbirds It has already become invisible and hovering around the blue bird, providing her with a 360° viewing angle without blind spots.

"Okay, let me try to see if the Zhuri 3 series anti-gravity/vector propulsion engines are powerful enough!" As he said this, Qade Bird held the hilt of the sword that was placed across the back of his waist with one hand. The anti-gravity engines started running, and strong thrust was emitted from the vector propulsion nozzles on her legs, lifting the 450-ton Miss Blue Bird from the ground.
