From ship girl to machine god

If you can work continuously for 50 years in this high-pressure environment, then at least in Military Technology and Kangtao you can get your retirement salary and retire smoothly.

But Arasaka...you can die in the line of duty in about 30 years.

So for David, becoming a company dog ​​and working for the company is really not his ideal life.

But his mother instilled all this in David and planned a life for him. She didn't want to rebel against her mother who worked hard for him every day. David accepted it all obediently and maintained his life in Arasaka even though he didn't like it. School studies.

But recently, David felt like something had changed in his life. For example, he felt like someone was watching him.

He thought it was an illusion at first, but when he was recently bullied by a wealthy classmate in his class, and the other person's inexplicable prosthetic malfunction allowed him to escape smoothly, David gradually realized that something was wrong. Come.

At the very least, someone was secretly helping him so that he wouldn't be bullied too badly.

This made David very curious as to who was helping him secretly. He had no other intention, he just wanted to say thank you.

After all, at Arasaka School, the children of those high-ranking company officials completely regarded people like David as toys and objects for venting and amusement. After all, they were born in Rome, and David was born a mule. Even if David joined the company, he would not be able to express his emotions for ten years. Most of the time, I still work under these classmates.

And this was one of the main reasons why David didn't want to continue wasting time at Arasaka School. He didn't want to spend most of his life facing those annoying classmates every day.

However, as long as he is still studying at Arasaka School and wants to join Arasaka Company in the future, these are inevitable.

In the face of these suffocating things, it is not difficult to understand that David skipped classes and left school to get some air.

But this time David skipped class not just to avoid things that bothered him, he also wanted to take this opportunity to find out the people who had been secretly watching and protecting him.

Although David did not receive professional training, he still learned something at Arasaka School. After all, this school trains future employees for Arasaka, rather than delivering talents to society. While the focus is different, it also allows students to The skills acquired are completely different.

It's just that David's little knowledge is really not enough in front of the blue bird who put the monitoring program into his personal terminal.

It feels like a lab rat trying hard to eat the hidden cheese in a transparent maze, but it doesn't know that it's all a script written and set up by someone.

"Boss, I don't quite understand why you pay so much attention to this kid." Alpha, who had replaced his full-body prosthetic body with two black-gray arms and long carbon fiber legs of the same color, stood next to Blue Bird, puzzled. Asked her.

Behind them, Lucy was blowing bubble gum out of boredom. She originally liked smoking. Because Jade Bird claimed to be a minor, she could only chew bubble gum in front of Jade Bird to suppress her addiction, so as not to let Jade Bird hack her prosthetic body and control herself. Crush all the cigarettes with your own hands.

This is really cruel to smokers.

As for Rebecca, she was also with them, but compared to Alpha and Lucy, Rebecca was still a real minor. She did not feel bored like the two big sisters, but felt excited because she could follow the blue bird. excited.

She was enjoying playing with the newly installed multi-functional prosthetic eye. She was observing David in various visual modes, and she didn't find it boring to just look at him.

Faced with Alpha's question, Blue Bird did not explain anything, but just threw a document into Alpha's personal terminal.

"Prosthetic King Kong? Is this the newly developed combat prosthetic body by Arasaka? Why is this thing so big?" Alpha is quite familiar with combat prosthetic bodies. When she was still in military technology, part of her work was related to experiments. It was related to the combat effectiveness of military prosthetics, but she had never seen a prosthetic body of this specification.

Blue Bird's eyes were still staring at David, but her little mouth explained: "This thing is designed for a certain monster whose whole body is more than 90% prosthetic, and it is equipped with an experimental gravity control device. Even Arasaka’s technology cannot make this kind of device small, so we created this big thing.”

"Gravity control device? Boss, is it as powerful as my battle mecha?" Rebecca heard the conversation between Blue Bird and Alpha and asked curiously.

Blue Bird just smiled at this: "Maybe you can try hammering it into scrap metal with a power hammer?"

Chapter 94 Four-person team

"Okay, if you are really bored, just pick someone to try this guy out. I plan to recruit him to join Mann's team and replace Rebecca's original position." Jade Bird was surrounded by three people. After they all understood the situation of the prosthetic King Kong, they were asked to choose one person to test David's quality.

In the original anime plot, David's combat power soared after he was implanted with Si'an Westan, and he grew into a legend.

Before that, he was essentially just an ordinary kid who was often bullied. He didn't have much fighting power, and he could even be bullied at will by those classmates in Arasaka School who came from well-off families and had prosthetics.

But it is obvious that David is not just a simple ordinary person, because if that were the case, he would not have been selected by Arasaka to be the experimental subject of the prosthetic King Kong, and it would not be possible for him to fly after installing Sianwei Stan. soaring.

So Jade Bird asked Alpha, Lucy and Rebecca to choose one of them to try David, also wanting to see how talented this kid was without the blessing of a prosthetic body.

Hearing what Bluebird said, the three people next to her all showed interested expressions. However, Alpha was curious about David's fighting ability, Lucy was curious about why he became a test subject for the prosthetic King Kong, and only Rebecca was curious. Interested because this is Bluebird's order.

The three of them quickly decided the winner through guessing. Alpha shook off the short knife he had been playing with, inserted the knife into the scabbard at his waist, and said "I'm on board" to Qingniao and the other two, and then Then he jumped down from the high platform where they were.

Relying on the strong jumping ability of his newly replaced prosthetic limbs, Alpha quickly moved between buildings.

This feeling of flying made Alpha enjoy it very much, although in terms of function and output, the new pair of long legs were not as good as the prosthetics she used in the past.

But when it comes to lightness and agility, as well as jumping performance, this pair of new legs is perfect.

The exquisite joint design allows Alpha to not withstand huge forces when jumping and using its legs to withstand impacts. On the contrary, the energy-absorbing device installed inside the prosthetic limb will recover this part of the kinetic energy and convert it into assistance when bouncing. .

This allows Alpha to run faster, jump higher, and most importantly, make her look in better shape and have longer legs than before.

And when Alpha wants to kick someone with its legs, these long legs made of special foamed lightweight space alloy can easily kick an adult man and a car weighing one or two tons 20 meters away.

When Alpha was testing the performance of these long legs, she kicked a hard football used for testing and exploded it, and the wreckage flew at least 100 meters away. She was really frightened by the power of these prosthetic limbs.

This is a truly powerful prosthetic body. Compared with those things in the past that looked powerful but were actually flashy, it may not have rich functions or look cool enough, but its performance is really enough to kill everyone on the battlefield. Degree.

And this is just two legs, not counting Alpha's two arms and other prosthetics on her body.

Qingniao customized almost all the prosthetics on her body, and without the cooperation of other prosthetics, her two legs would not be able to exert their strongest strength.

After all, with such a strong output power, there is no body that can match this level of output. It is very likely that the legs will be torn off from the body at the moment of exerting force.

Although this situation did not happen to Alpha, someone in the Mann team almost made such a joke. Because Pyrrha was not accustomed to the new arm for a while, he exerted too much force and almost twisted his native spine. Break.

If Blue Bird hadn't been right next to him at that time and directly held down his arm, causing him to just strain a muscle, Pila would have had to change his spine.

However, while feeling these emotions, Alpha was also very curious about who the person behind the Blue Bird was. There were only a handful of forces that could come up with such a ridiculously powerful prosthetic body and customize it all over the body.

According to Alpha's past experience, even top large companies like Military Technology or Arasaka would have to spend an extremely high price to get such a suit, and people who have changed into prosthetics usually serve as Responsible for the company's combat capabilities, or as a bodyguard for the company's controller.

For example, the three core members of the Arasaka family are surrounded by bodyguards equipped with top-notch prosthetics, and according to the information Alpha has seen, there are only three of them.

And now, even excluding Blue Bird, their team of three and Mann's team of four are already seven.

With this level of force, one more person is enough to change the situation of a local war, not to mention that Jade Bird has a fully equipped mercenary team in his hands.

It can almost be said that if Blue Bird is willing, even if these people's combat experience is not enough to control their prosthetics to fully unleash their terrifying properties, she can still use this team to take off the head of anyone in the world.

Alpha can confirm this simply by relying on its own knowledge.

At least the difference in combat power between her before she was transformed by Blue Bird and her now is that the latter can kill the former with one hand.

So what will Qingniao do after she masters such a powerful force?There's no way he's just here to try out the skills of an ordinary street boy.

"Her purpose is the prosthetic King Kong? No, that thing is not comparable to the technology in her hand..." Alpha muttered to herself, but soon she thought of a possibility: "She spent so much time and effort. Do you want to deal with Arasaka?"

Guessing the correct answer did not make Alpha feel happy. On the contrary, she felt like she had fallen into an incredible vortex.

However, she was not afraid of this. On the contrary, deep in Alpha's heart, there was an expectation of revenge against the company.

This also made Alpha decide to carry out the blue bird's instructions more diligently, put away his original mentality of just having fun, and decided to test David's depth.

As a result, David, who might have just been teased, was unlucky now. He looked at Alpha, who suddenly fell from the sky with two knives hanging on his body. He saw that the prosthetic body was expensive. It's confusing.

"Who are you? Did Katsuo ask you to trouble me?" David recalled the people he might have offended, and the only one he could think of was the classmate whose family belonged to a high-ranking Arasaka classmate and who often bullied him.

However, Alpha did not answer his question. He just pulled out the long knife hanging on his body and made a stabbing stance.

A drop of cold sweat slipped from David's forehead. He felt that he was probably going to die here today.

Chapter 95 Alpha’s Test

Of course David didn't die.

As for Alpha, although she used the long knife very seriously instead of the short knife she had been playing with, she didn't actually chop David with one knife. She just scratched him a dozen times, and that was all. He cut his clothes into rags.

"Ugh, I thought she had many abilities worthy of her attention, but it turned out to be nothing more than that." Alpha spat with some dissatisfaction, retracted his long knife and looked at David, who was panting and lying on the ground, with a somewhat disdainful expression.

Obviously, even without receiving Blue Bird's prosthetic transformation, she could still make the same knife marks on David's body with the Sianwistan and Mantis knives she had installed before, and still make him unresponsive.

As for now?Alpha could only say that she didn't even activate the additional attack on this newly acquired weapon. She just relied on the inherent sharpness of the blade to let David be slaughtered by her like a fish on the chopping board. This really didn't pose any challenge.

Maybe I should try to be like the Blue Bird, without using the Sian Westan and just rely on the power of the prosthetic body to see if I can achieve the same speed as driving the Sian Westan?

Although he was very satisfied and confident with his new prosthetic body, Alpha still lacked confidence in this aspect.

But while thinking this, Alpha looked at David on the ground, whose eyes seemed to be full of dissatisfaction and anger, and had to admit that this boy's talent was indeed good.

In the test just now, although Alpha did not want to kill anyone, her control over the weapons in her hands was able to ensure that each knife would cut David's clothes and leave scars on him without causing any damage to him. , but David was not completely helpless just now.

In other words, when Alpha swung the knife at him, David also tried to resist and dodge.

Although his efforts were almost in vain, he did show that his reflexes were much better than ordinary people.

"Who are you?" Although David felt extremely frightened at this time, he still asked Alpha loudly, wanting to know who she was: "Who did I provoke whom?!"

Alpha obviously didn't bother to answer this kind of question. She just glanced at David and then looked in the direction she came from. With the optical prosthetic eyes she now installed, of course she could see the Blue Bird and Lu who were still on the high platform. West, and Rebecca.

"Come back when you're done playing. There's no need to tell him too much now." Qade Bird's voice came through the personal terminal immediately, and she didn't forget to add: "By the way, I gave him two thousand euros for ruining his clothes." I still have to pay some amount of compensation.”

Alpha nodded slightly and said that after he knew it, he transferred two thousand euros to David through his personal terminal without saying a word, and then used his feet hard, stepping on the walls of the surrounding buildings as when he came, and returned to Jade Bird.

David looked at the extra two thousand euros on his personal terminal and was really confused.

What's wrong with this guy?Beat yourself up, make yourself injured, and then give yourself money?Is this boring?

David, who slowly got up from the ground, looked at the wounds that only scratched the surface of his body and the clothes that were no different from strips of cloth. He could only think that he was unlucky and limped towards a certain prosthetic doctor he knew. go.

Although his injury is not a big deal, it still looks scary and needs to be dealt with to some extent.

On the Blue Bird side, looking at Alpha coming back and David going to bandage his wounds, he didn't make any comments. He just asked Lucy beside him: "What do you think of him?"

"Very average, nothing special." Lucy didn't quite understand why Jade Bird asked, but judging from David's performance just now, she really didn't think there was anything outstanding about it.

When Qingniao heard what Lucy said, he glanced at her in surprise, but didn't say much.

In the original anime plot, David and Lucy were almost in a love-at-first-sight situation, and in the end David died for Lucy. It can be said that the relationship between the two people is still very deep.

So Jade Bird was very curious about Lucy's evaluation and impression of David now, but the answer he got was nothing special, which undoubtedly surprised Jade Bird.

She thought Lucy would think there was something special about David.

But that's okay, after all, she once called Lucy "wife". If she saw Lucy getting close to David again, although she wouldn't say she had any thoughts, she would still feel a little awkward or strange.

At this time, Alpha also returned to the blue bird and whispered to her: "I'm back, the boss."

"Thank you for your hard work, what do you think of this guy?" Although Blue Bird had just seen Alpha's disdain for David, she still wanted to hear her evaluation.

"The nervous reaction is much faster than that of ordinary people, and the character and will are good, but that's all." In front of the blue bird, Alpha did not show his disdain for David just now, but gave a realistic evaluation.

Blue Bird nodded slightly, and then sent a comparison data to Alpha and Lucy who was standing aside.

"This kid's nerve reaction speed is 10.12% faster than normal people. His body is better able to adapt to the burden brought by Si'an Westan's nerve-accelerating prosthetic body than ordinary people. This is why he was included in the prosthetic King Kong test list. The reason." Qingniao explained to them the data he had just observed, and gave a more detailed explanation: "If you give this boy a chance, he will be able to grow up quickly, but in Night City, if you want to get a Si It is probably impossible for Anwei Stan to do so given his family background.”

"Then boss, are you still paying attention to him? Boss, are you going to give him a Sianwistan?" Rebecca on the side quickly asked the blue bird loudly, and she showed great concern about this.

It was clear that Rebecca was quite concerned about David's ability to win the bluebird's attention.
