From ship girl to machine god

"Send him a Sianwistan? No, no, no, I don't plan to do that. He has his own destiny. We just have to watch." Qingniao stood up and waved his hand casually: "What I want is to pass. He came to sabotage Arasaka's Prosthetic King Kong project and bring out a guy that I really hate.

As for the team that recruited him to join Mann, they just thought that this kid was a malleable talent, and Mann would probably like this kid. "

Hearing what Jade Bird said, Rebecca felt a lot more relieved, so she nodded and said: "Indeed, he looks stupid, and Mann likes this kind of silly boy."

Chapter 96 The gears of fate begin to turn?

I'm afraid Mann himself doesn't know whether Mann will like David. Although in the original anime plot, Mann did get along well with David, and he also said that he would give his prosthetic body to him after his death. Yes, but after being influenced by the Blue Bird, it is unclear whether Mann will still appreciate David as well.

The decisions a person makes and the tendencies and deflections he encounters are closely related to his experience. After all, it is difficult to make a person who has been bullied all his life be open-minded, love life, and be full of hope. , it is also difficult for you to make a person who has been helped by others throughout his life to feel the beauty of the world with countless vicious thoughts.

There may be individual extreme examples, but a person's life experience will indeed greatly affect his character and psychology. This is also an important means in psychology to analyze a person's psychological makeup.

Mann admired David because David had already experienced the tragic death of his mother and accidentally pretended to be the Sean Westan that Mann wanted. Under the intertwining of various circumstances, Mann half sympathized with David. Half hoping to take advantage of Sean Westan, David joined his team and gradually established a friendship after getting along with him.

If the current David had not experienced this, Mann would not think that such a boy who had just graduated from Arasaka School could have any value in him.

But it doesn't matter, because the various hardships and tests that David needs to go through will soon come.

It's just that this time without Mann's order, it's hard to say whether he can successfully obtain the Sianwistan. And without the blessing of this plug-in, what kind of fame David can make depends on how much he has. It's up to you.

----------------

"Mann, I won't take any jobs during this period. I need everyone to set aside time. There is a big job that requires your participation." Jade Bird explained to Mann that through tracking and monitoring David, she had determined The Sianwistan that triggered a series of subsequent events has appeared.

Of course, this prosthetic body is still installed on its original owner.

Mann naturally has no doubts about this. Since following the Blue Bird, the income of him and his team members has skyrocketed. Even if there was no Blue Bird to take over big jobs from Rogge, the work they would take on from other clients in the next life would already be higher than what they had done in the past. The work I received was more than a level above.

Especially after Wislow reached an agreement with Blue Bird, Military Technology would often send them some free tasks, such as armed escort, killing an unsightly target, or internal tasks within the company. Some strife...

In front of Mann and others who have upgraded their prosthetics, these tasks are not difficult. In addition, military technology has the intention to praise them. Not to mention the money they give them, the weapons and equipment produced by various military technologies are also available. They selected some experimental weapons from military science and technology research and development laboratories.

Most of these experimental weapons are the brainchild of military technology researchers, and most of them will not be sold as future products of military technology. However, the data collected after being used by a small group of elites is still very valuable.

Normally, this job is done by Military Technology's own special agent team, but now, relying on some of Wislow's internal operations within Military Technology, part of this work has been assigned to Mann and others.

This not only brought extra income to Mann and others, but also made the weapons and equipment in their hands look more and more exaggerated.

When Bluebird and Mann were chatting before, Mann even complained that Pyrrha wanted everything, so that the house was filled with weird gadgets obtained from military technology, so Rebecca gave him a good beating. And we know what the current situation of the cyberpunk team is like.

In Li Yunlong's words, he has never fought such a rich battle.

So Jade Bird asked Mann to pause for a while to take over the work. For everyone in the Cyberpunk team, there was no problem.

However, Mann still asked the blue bird: "Boss, what kind of work requires everyone to participate in it? Do I need to make any additional preparations?"

Today's cyberpunk team, including Falco, the driver who is not an official member, and Jade Bird, has a total of eight people, and all of them have accepted the transformation of Jade Bird and installed customized top-level prosthetic suits. Their combat effectiveness is absolutely the best. The city of darkness.

It can be said that today's cyberpunk team, whether in the original anime plot or included in the game plot, is enough to fight through all battles, and even fight head-on with the company's security forces when the difference in numbers is not too big. There is no problem.

So Mann was very curious as to what level of big work it was that Blue Bird needed to call all of them on.

In response to this, Qingniao just raised the corner of his mouth with a smile, and asked Mann: "Mann, do you want to become a legend?"

"Becoming a legend in Night City? There is no mercenary in Night City who doesn't want to." Mann's answer was quite decisive. Obviously this is a question that does not require hesitation, even if the legends of Night City are buried in the cemetery.

"Then your chance has come. I'm going to take you to blow up Arasaka Tower and recreate the glorious deeds of Johnny Silverhand." Bluebird explained to Mann with an angelic smile, and also made a joke. Joke: "If you are lucky, I will give you a chance to challenge the former legend Adam Hammer. I don't know if you have the confidence to kill him."

Hearing what Blue Bird said, Mann couldn't help but widen his eyes. This really made him feel frightened and at the same time his blood boiled. He laughed loudly and said: "Blowing up Arasaka Tower? Such an exciting thing. Rebecca knew she had to jump." It’s up to heaven! When are we going to do it?”

For Mann, having the opportunity to blow up Arasaka Tower is simply a dream.

This is like telling a person who has traveled to the country before that he has the opportunity to go to the country where he lived a good life and blow up their toilet that summons spirits. Who would refuse such a good thing?

"Don't worry, we still need some grounding and preparation. After all, blowing up Arasaka Tower requires a complete plan." Bluebird deceived Mann with a serious attitude, and then asked him: "Do you know someone Is this a woman named Gloria Martinez? She should be from Night City Medical Center. Use your name to place an order with her, and then I want you to keep an eye on her."

Chapter 97 No, let it turn

On the streets of Night City, David was walking home from school.

At this moment, he looked gloomy and looked depressed and listless, looking like a withdrawal reaction from drug dependence.

Of course, David is not a drug-dependent person, although those cheap addictive drugs are indeed easy to obtain in Night City, and you can buy quite powerful "good stuff" at a very cheap price. , but David did not have this hobby.

The reason why he looked so depressed was actually due to the withdrawal reaction of another hobby.

This hobby is Mewtwo, and it's Black Mewtwo.

Mewtwo technology is a very powerful virtual reality technology in the cyberpunk world, which allows people to experience a truly immersive experience. Among them, Black Mewtwo is illegally recorded content, even if it contains It is also illegal in Night City, which has almost no laws at all.

Simply put, Mewtwo technology records all the sensory information a person experiences when experiencing certain things, and then reproduces it into the brain of the viewer through instruments, allowing them to experience the same sensory information, thereby making To be there.

Of course, the unedited original film has too much content and is very messy, which requires Mewtwo editors to make adjustments, remove useless information, amplify the main sensory information, and provide more stimulation.

This also makes a good Mewtwo editor extremely valuable, just like those millions of clips on video websites, the same material can be used in other people's hands.

As for Black Mewtwo, none of this is necessary.

The excitement of that thing doesn't need editing at all. Just watching it can make ordinary people wet their pants.

Because if the content of ordinary Mewtwo is considered 18X, then Black Mewtwo is completely R-18G, and you can experience the real feeling in person, rather than fake pictures created through movie shooting props and shooting techniques.

And this is why these things are called Black Mewtwo. After all, if you look at a plasma film and the people in it are really chopped into pieces, this thing cannot be called legal in any case.

Obviously, after long-term exposure to such overly stimulating things, the brain receives excessive dopamine and adrenaline stimulation, and it is even more uncomfortable to stop watching for a while than to withdraw from addictive drugs.

This is not only physical emptiness and discomfort, but also mental malaise and loss.

As for why David was so miserable, it had a lot to do with David being attacked by Alpha before.

Alpha's last test not only shredded David's clothes, but also caused injuries all over his body. Although the injuries were not serious, it would cost money to go to the prosthetist for bandaging.

Coupled with the fact that the clothes were broken and he had to buy another one, these two things combined emptied David's pocket money.

Although he studied in a place like Arasaka School, David was the poorest one in the class. His mother worked day and night every day, and the money she could earn would be enough to support both mother and son. .

Even so, the daily expenses of the mother and son are very tight, and they often encounter the dilemma of not being able to use the washing machine due to arrears.

Under such circumstances, the wealth that David could take out of his pocket was very limited. After wrapping himself in a bandage and changing into an old suit of decent quality, David would be able to spend at least a month. I have no money to go see my beloved Black Mewtwo.

This undoubtedly gave David a huge blow. He had heard that the latest Black Mewtwo was popular on the black market recently. The content was said to be a battle between the NCPD and the Terrorist Mobile Team to eliminate a cyber madman. That cyber Madman is even said to be a former lieutenant of military technology, with extremely powerful combat capabilities.

David had heard about this battle. After all, his mother was the body collector at the medical center. It was rumored that his mother worked overtime and came home very late on the day of the incident. It was said that the corpses of NCPD officers alone were collected. car.

It is precisely because of understanding these contents that David is more and more looking forward to this Black Mewtwo.

It's just that he really can't get the latest Dark Mewtwo without money in his pocket, even if he is an old customer of those film studios.

If you have money, then you are an uncle and you can have all the black stuff you want; if you don’t have money?Take a break wherever it's cool in the morning, no credit for small business.

As for the two thousand euros that Alpha gave him according to Blue Bird's wishes, David transferred the money to his mother on the same day he got the money, without keeping a penny for himself.

Because he knows that his mother has paid too much for this family. Although he got these two thousand euros because he was beaten innocently, giving it to his mother will at least make her work less hard recently and she won’t have to I work overtime until so late every day and don't go home until late.

Thinking of his mother, David couldn't help but feel a little emotional. His mother was undoubtedly good at everything, except that she had to force him to go to school and wanted him to join Arasaka and climb to the top in the future.

For David, this kind of thing really made him full of resistance.

David didn't hate studying. He could tolerate other things in order to study. However, being bullied all the time in school made David not want to stay in this school.

In fact, David was bullied almost every day, and the classmate who bullied him had installed a prosthetic body early because of his family connections. This made David unable to resist even if he wanted to fight back, leaving him with no ability to resist every day. They have accumulated a lot of resentment and resentment.

Thinking of these terrible things, David kicked a can on the side of the road hard, trying to kick it away.

However, the can was indeed kicked away, but not far away it was trampled under someone's feet and turned into a piece of iron.

David looked at the black prosthetic leg that crushed the jar. He felt a dull pain in his body and at the same time had a slight expectation because he knew that prosthetic leg belonged to the strange woman who cut him before.

This made David worry that the other party was going to beat him again. You must know that the knife wound David suffered last time was not healed well.

But thinking about the generous money given by the other party last time, David, who was cash-strapped, couldn't help but look forward to whether he could get another sum of money if he was beaten again today.

For a man like David, if he could get a sum of money in exchange for a beating, then as long as he was not beaten to death, he could earn this money every day.

It's just a pity that there are no such good things in Night City. David can't earn this kind of money. He is so poor that he can't even afford a prosthetic body. He doesn't even get beaten. He really needs to be beaten very hard. Most likely, his mother would be called to collect the body on the spot.

So, when Alpha walked toward him with a cold look on his face, holding the knife, David couldn't help but take two steps back before asking fearfully: "What are you going to do?"

Chapter 98 Countdown

Facing David who was so frightened that he backed away, Alpha did not beat him again this time. He just looked him up and down and asked: "Boy, do you want to make some extra money?"

"Extra money?" David was a little moved, but still said fearfully: "You don't want to hit me again, do you? My injury is not healed yet!"

For David, if he could make money, it wouldn't be a big deal if he was beaten again.

It's just that if you can earn this money without getting beaten one time, that would be better.

And as David himself said, the last stab wound was not healed well. If he got beaten again, although he would indeed be able to earn money, his mother would probably have to worry about him again when he went home at night.

David had to put in a lot of effort to explain the two thousand euros last time, which still made his mother doubtful, wondering if he had gone out to join a gang instead of studying hard.

In Night City, it's really hard to tell whether you have a future as a corporate dog or as a street kid.

"Don't worry, I won't beat you this time. I'm just asking you to give me something." Alpha pulled out a chip from the back of his head and handed it to David, and then explained: "Take this chip and send it to the Afterlife Bar. , give it to a man named Mann, if anyone stops you, just say that you are running errands for Jade Bird."

After saying that, without waiting for David to agree, he inserted the chip into the slot on the back of David's head.

David obviously didn't have the strength to resist Alpha, and the chip was inserted into his head before he could resist.

Immediately, a large amount of data covered his sight, and then a red countdown appeared in a prominent position in his view.

"The golem in the chip has installed a virus in your personal terminal. If you don't deliver the thing when the countdown ends, it will burn your brain directly." Alpha threatened David, but she did not forget it. Added: "As long as you deliver it on time, someone will help you take out the chip, delete the virus in your brain, and give you a sum of money."

After saying that, Alpha disappeared from David's eyes again.

David was left alone, staring blankly at the empty streets and the big red countdown that was constantly beating in his field of vision.

"What...what is going on here? And where is that damn Afterlife Bar?" David looked confused. He really didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing.

But there was no room for him to think about it at this time. He ran quickly while cursing Alpha: "Since you want me to deliver the goods, you should tell me the address!"

Just as David shouted this, a small map suddenly appeared under the red countdown in his field of vision, which marked his current location, an address, and a route forward.

"Little Chinatown in Watson District? This is really far away!" David felt a little relieved when he saw the route and address displayed in his field of vision, but after looking at the distance, he felt that he should find a car or simply take the subway.

--------------

When David was looking for transportation to go to the Afterlife Bar, the blue bird was lying lazily in Lucy's arms in the bar, looking like he was intoxicated.

Rebecca was sitting aside and beating Bluebird's legs, while the rest of the Cyberpunk team sat on the sofas on both sides of the box.
