Copy of the reckless man: I can see the status bar

"The deposit is 100,000 credit points, and there will be 400,000 more after the deal is done. That superstitious guy gave me almost all the cash he had on hand, and only asked me to investigate everything and catch the ghost that I don't know if it really exists, so as to comfort the souls of his family in heaven."

Wang Banxian directly projected some information from his artificial eye in the form of a holographic projection and presented it in front of the two of them.

"By the way, has Brother Wu undergone prosthetic transformation? Let's add each other as friends, and I'll send the information directly to you, so it will be more convenient for you to look at it."

"No, I don't need those things. How can a mere iron object compare to my well-forged body?" Lu Wenwu shook his head and took out a cell phone from his pocket. "I'll use this."

"Uh"

Looking at the "mobile phone" in front of him, which was made up of many computer parts like a big brother, Wang Banxian's mood suddenly became complicated.

It was difficult for him to describe the feeling.

It's almost like the feeling you get when you see the elders in the sect still using old-fashioned keypad machines.

As he operated, he said, "If Fifth Brother is not used to prosthetic implants, you can do genetic modification surgery or some organ enhancement. I remember there seems to be a watch terminal for sale in Upper Town. I can buy one when I have enough money."

"That's not necessary, it's a waste of money."

While Lu Wenwu was looking through the information on his phone, he casually placed his left hand on Wang Banxian's wrist.

As a wisp of pure spiritual energy passed by, Wang Banxian’s eyes immediately widened.

Feeling the comfort and moisture like taking a hot spring bath, an expression of astonishment instantly appeared on his face.

"Fuck!"

"V me 50, I will give you spiritual energy. As long as you have enough money, I can help you return to the peak of Yuanying in a minute."

Lu Wenwu, who had finished reading the information, smiled slightly, cut off the spiritual energy supply and retracted his fingers.

"But there is a small problem. With your body transformed into this bird-like shape, even your Dantian and meridians are gone. Can you really mobilize your spiritual power to 'rebuild' your Nascent Soul?"

"And I just checked your physical condition. That intermediate gene enhancement modification is not a good thing. It is even worse than the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin in the bodybuilding circle."

"Although it brings you power far beyond that of an ordinary person, it also shortens your lifespan and makes your flesh, blood, and cells extremely unstable. Without spiritual energy nourishment or other solutions, your body will collapse within ten years at most."

"Fuck me!"

Wang Banxian spat out another mouthful of national quintessence.

"I knew that these vampires in the trench had no good intentions. If the enhanced transformation really had no side effects, why would it be open to everyone!"

"It would be great if spiritual energy could nourish the body. If the meridians and Dantian are not there, it won't have any impact."

"Our Xuanling Sect originally used Taoism to enter the immortal path. What's different from other sects is that during the Qi Refining stage, we are actually refining the body. Finally, when we advance to the foundation building stage, we will open up the Dantian again, shatter the meridians and reshape them, and finally complete the advancement."

"If Fifth Brother can really get a lot of spiritual energy in this Absolute Spirit Land, as long as the spiritual energy is adequately supplied, I have the confidence to return to the peak of the Golden Core within a year. It's hard to say for the Nascent Soul. I don't even know if there is such a thing as a heavenly tribulation in this world."

"That depends on whether you have enough credit points."

This time it was Lu Wenwu's turn to spread his hands helplessly.

"I need enough nutrients to open the void channel and forcibly absorb spiritual energy. You know how many nutrients are contained in ordinary food, and there will be losses during conversion."

"This is a bit difficult." Wang Banxian frowned. "What if I give all my credit points to you, Fifth Brother, and all the resources are for you to unlock your cultivation, and then you lead me to pass the S-level advanced trial, do you think there is a chance?"

"It's okay to take you with me, but there's no need to give all the resources to me. The marginal effect is too great." Lu Wenwu shook his head, "According to my estimation, even if I eat up everyone in the city, I can't get back to the top. I'm on the path of body refinement, and the nutrients I need are too much for ordinary cities to provide.

"After my strength recovers to a certain level, my energy consumption will be alarmingly high. By then, if I want to maintain my daily activities, I will need to continue to eat to replenish nutrients and continue to open the void channel to ensure energy supply."

"In essence, this is just like the elementary school word problem of draining water while filling it up. Without any external replenishment and relying on that small water pipe, there is a limit to the strength that can be restored, no matter you or me."

This is an unsolvable problem.

In the case of the world itself being completely devoid of spiritual energy, the nutrients in ordinary food alone are simply not enough to supply his daily needs, let alone restore the purity to the level of dozens of dignities.

After selling some supplies in the morning, Lu Wenwu exchanged the rest for high-grade nutritional cream, except for the necessary survival supplies and some credit points for emergencies.

If his current purity is measured by the [Body] attribute, it is around 200 points.

It doesn’t mean it can’t be higher.

If all the resources at his disposal were converted into purity, perhaps he could increase it by another fifty points.

If this is true, then the consumption of daily actions will be too great, his combat endurance will be drastically shortened, and the cost-effectiveness is a bit low.

This can only be done if Lu Wenwu can continue to make a fortune and have a continuous supply of high-grade nutritional paste, or even more advanced supply of military nutritional capsules.

Otherwise, you can't just start fighting for one minute and then you urgently call for a pause and ask for a ceasefire so you can have a meal first and then continue, right?

"I understand. If that's the case, then I might as well not recover my cultivation and just stick to the path of prosthetic transformation until the end."

Wang Banxian's eyes suddenly became firm, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"Fifth brother, you also need spiritual energy, and Maomao must also need some. If you are alone with two people, the cultivation level that everyone can maintain will be lower. Since this is the world of cyberpunk, and I have already integrated into it, there is no need to spend too much money. Just go all the way."

"Under the current circumstances, if the methods we know of cannot help you recover to the level that can overwhelm the entire city, then if we want to complete the main mission, we can only use local methods to assist. It just so happens that I have some research in hacking technology."

"I will carry out further brain development and supercomputing chip implantation according to the original plan. I also have the credit points for this employment mission. You can take them all and exchange them for cultivation. I will leave my life to you and Maomao."

"Okay, I'll treat you to egg-filled pancakes when conditions permit." Lu Wenwu agreed without being pretentious.

He is not a fool who doesn't know how to adapt.

When there is no chance to directly push forward with brute force, some external help is indeed needed.

"Although I don't quite understand what you are saying, I will do my best to help!" Liu Linan consciously did not ask any questions.

"You old cripple, stop charging into battle and just be my bodyguard."

Wang Banxian smiled and put his arm around his neck, tapping the black steel soldier prosthesis with his fingers.

"Then we can do it the way we do in the game. Brother Wu and Maomao will lead the attack, I'll provide technical support, and Lao Liu will take care of the logistics. Just protect me while I work."

"Don't underestimate me, you charlatan! Fifth Brother made me such a powerful prosthetic limb. I am also very powerful now!" Liu Linan said dissatisfiedly, "Fifth Brother said that this set of prosthetic limbs is specially enhanced for throwing ability. Now the grenades I throw are like artillery shells!"

"Okay, okay, that's not right! Someone is trying to block the door! Someone hacked my surveillance camera!"

Wang Banxian's face suddenly changed drastically when he was halfway through his words. He tapped his temple quickly with his fingers and stood up abruptly.

As he stood up, the wall behind him moved with the vibration and cracked in the middle, revealing a secret passage leading downwards.

"Fifth Brother, Cripple, hurry up! The security alert facilities I set up have been triggered. A large number of people are carrying a large amount of weapons and equipment and are rushing towards this safe house. There are at least several hundred of them, and they are most likely coming for us!"

Liu Linan was dragged by Wang Banxian into the passage without knowing what was going on, and Lu Wenwu and Maomao followed closely behind him, looking thoughtful.

Entering the passage, the group moved forward quickly.

Wang Banxian closed the passage door and activated the security procedure.

Every time the group walked a certain distance, a heavy steel gate would fall from behind, blocking the passage.

"No, what's going on?" Liu Linan was confused. "There are still people in the Lower City who dare to cause trouble for you. Aren't you a guest of honor of those gentlemen in the Upper City?"

"You are nothing but a guest. They are just trying to get some metaphysics from me. No one really takes me seriously." Wang Banxian complained, "You even said I am a charlatan. You can see that I am usually a fraud. Don't those people know what level I am at?"

"And those people are most likely not coming for Wang Banxian." Lu Wenwu said quietly from behind, "They are coming for you. Oh, to be more precise, they are coming for the bodies of Maomao and me. The means of concealing their identities are still a bit crude, and it is difficult to hide them from the eyes of those who are interested."

"Carrion bird?" Liu Linan was shocked. "But I've already disguised myself! How could they..."

"With your level of social experience, you are bullied all day long even when you pick up trash, and you can't even bring yourself to kill someone. Without your buddies to protect you, do you think you can keep your high-level employee-provided prosthetic body produced by Zulong?"

Wang Banxian strongly criticized Liu Linan for his lack of self-awareness.

"I know with my knees how bad your anti-reconnaissance skills are, and I know with my butt that you don't understand anti-tracking."

"If you really had returned home empty-handed, there might have been a small chance that everything would have gone smoothly. But you happened to have returned with something, and the scavenger bird had lost a person, lost credit points, and still hadn't gotten the item. Who else should I look for if not you?"

"Scavenger, scavenger, you don't really think they will let you go, do you? My reputation is not that big, at least not as valuable as these two real test subjects."

"If a child is carrying gold in the market, who else can he rob if not you?"

Liu Linan's face flushed and he wanted to explain himself.

But in the end he still said nothing.

Indeed, as a corporate dog who worked diligently in the first half of his life and has been struggling to survive by scavenging after being optimized in recent years, he really doesn't understand anything about anti-reconnaissance and anti-tracking.

Being able to think of disguise and "safe house" is already an extraordinary performance.

Wang Banxian also knew that he should not demand too much from his unfortunate and cowardly friend, so he did not continue to complain. Instead, he comforted him and taught him some life-saving tips while moving forward quickly.

As a normal cultivator, when he goes to dungeons, he is often matched with a gangster cultivation world that cannot be cleared by brute force.

When it comes to saving one's life, he is well versed in the art of survival.

Calculation, back-up plan, strength, trump card, external force, preparation, plan, helper, defense. None of them can be missing.

This is also why he spent a lot of money to build three secret escape passages.

Yes, three, not just one.

The most surprising thing is that these three secret passages will fork in the middle, leading to a total of nine different locations.

Every time he chose randomly, even Wang Banxian himself couldn’t be sure which path he would take.

The main point is that a cunning rabbit has three burrows to prevent the springs from being blocked.

It turned out that his advance preparation was very useful.

When the group dug a hole next to the pier under a bridge in the stinky ditch outside the lower city of Coconut Juice City, there was indeed no one in sight.

"Damned scavenger bird, don't let me, the Taoist master, recover my strength. If I were still a Nascent Soul cultivator, I would let him merge with Mother Earth with one slap!" Wang Banxian cursed after closing the safety door.

Liu Linan sighed and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry to have caused you trouble, you charlatan."

"Brother, you are not right to say this. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to see my fifth brother, right?" Wang Banxian patted his shoulder and turned to ask, "Fifth brother, what should we do now? My home is in the residential area of ​​Grides. We are protected by the joint duty team. It should be safe. The scavenger birds are not brave enough to force their way in."

What Wang Banxian meant was that they should make a tactical retreat first and not engage in a head-on confrontation with the opponent.

It's a bit irrational for the three of them to fight against the largest gang in the city.

But Wang Banxian overlooked one thing.

reason?

Mr. Lu never does anything rational.

A kind smile appeared on Lu Wenwu's face: "If the enemy can go, I can go too. At this time, I have no choice but to adopt my elder brother's tactics!"

Wang Banxian & Liu Linan:?

May I ask who your eldest brother is?

"Change all tactics! Let's go straight to their base camp, make a scene, and take away the leader's position!"

Lu Wenwu clenched his fist, took out a few tubes of high-grade nutritional paste, threw them into his mouth along with the packaging, and absorbed them instantly.
