Monster Hunter Gathering

Nie Chiwu looked up and saw that the Arasaka Tower in the distance had collapsed due to Xin Meier's violent demolition.

"Oh my god! A true master!! As expected of a hero who defeated the Demon King!!"

Chapter 269 The Battle Finally Ends

Nie Chiwu, who was watching Xin Meir's heroic battle with Er Qiao in the gathering, was not idle. He took the time to move a TV with a larger screen, and then asked Er Qiao to change to a reading and writing device so that they could watch Xin Meir's battle on the big screen and record it.

Qiao's telekinesis seems to have been strengthened as the power of her stand has grown. Now Qiao can even control the telekinesis to change the camera position...

The battle between Xinmeier and Qilin in the picture now, with Er Qiao constantly adjusting the camera position, is like the climax moment of a movie.

"Record it! I must record it! I want to use this as a promotional video for our Hunters gathering!!!" Nie Chiwu shouted excitedly: "Great, JOJO!! I knew you were a capable man..."

"Hey, hey, hey! As the captain, can you please control your expression...it's really too ugly!" Er Qiao complained about Nie Chiwu, but the stand-in didn't stop.

In the picture, Xin Meir is launching a crushing attack on the weak Qilin.

Xinmeier, who was moving through the thunder, gave people the feeling that he was not affected by a single leaf. Occasionally, when he encountered some attacks from Qilin that were difficult to avoid, Xinmeier could even easily deflect the Qilin's attacks with the small shield in his hand.

Qilin also wanted to dodge Xinmei's attack, but Xinmei's speed was much faster than Qilin's current speed. The one-handed sword quickly left many scars on Qilin's body, and Xinmei also hit Qilin's head with his shield more than once, causing Qilin to fall into a dizzy state like a concussion.

If it weren't for the extremely powerful vitality of being an ancient dragon, Qilin might have been directly defeated by Xinmeier by now.

And Xin Meir's expression also became serious.

This time, Xinmeier put in more effort in the battle against Qilin, and was prepared to deal with Qilin without causing any destructive impact on Night City.

During this process, Xin Meier also made some assessments of Qilin's current strength...

Perhaps in terms of malice towards humans, Qilin does not use deception and various magics against humans like the demons in his own world... But Qilin's strength should be above that of the Seven Collapse Sages.

The terrifying sustained physical strength, the non-stop thunder, and even the hard body... each one was very tricky, but the most difficult thing for Xin Meir was the Qilin's unusually strong vitality.

Xin Meir originally thought that after attacking to this extent, Qilin should have fallen down, but Qilin was able to continue fighting despite such terrible injuries.

This is based on the fact that... Qilin has not received any nutritional supplements for a long time.

"Is pure life powerful..." Xinmei also made his own judgment on the monsters in the world of Monster Hunter.

Thinking that he had returned from an old body to a young and strong body just by eating a cat meal, Xinmeier realized how pure and abundant the vitality was in the world where the assembly and monsters lived.

"Perhaps Fulilian would be very interested in this world?"

Xin Meir suddenly thought of this during the battle with Qilin.

"Come to think of it... As a hunter, I should be able to invite others to the gathering as hosts..."

Xin Meier thought: "After we find Fulilian, we will invite her to the gathering."

"I should be able to stay with her for a long time this time."

Thinking of this, Xin Meir swung the one-handed sword in his hand more fiercely, causing Nie Chiwu, who was watching the battle through the screen, to cheer loudly.

And Qilin... could not hold on any longer after all.

Facing the brave warrior who had once defeated the Demon King, Qilin finally fell to the ground slowly after suffering enough attacks, and completely lost his life after a weak struggle.

At the same time, all the hunters in Night City had their assembly commission panel pop up in front of them.

【Exploration commission completed! 】

[Commission: In a world filled with electricity and various equipment, a monster has accidentally run here, causing damage to many electrical devices. Find it before it causes a big mess.]

Pale Hoof Chaos

[The mythical beast Qilin—has been defeated.]

[Received the {Proof of Defeat of the Mythical Beast Qilin} at the gathering. All Qilin equipment from lower rank to master rank has been unlocked! ]

"!"

Nie Chiwu's eyes suddenly widened.

What did he just hear? What unlocked?

Qilin...Master-level equipment?!

Master rank?! G rank?! M rank equipment?! ! !

Could it be that the hunters are going to get rich!!!

Nie Chiwu suddenly rushed into the gathering panel, wanting to see if the hunters could directly control the master-level equipment, and then he found out...

"Damn it! Not enough ingredients!!!"

Nie Chiwu discovered that the assembly panel showed that the master-level Qilin equipment was unlocked, but the materials were not enough...not even enough to make equipment for one person.

And it was clearly written in the white paper that the hunters were not capable enough to wear master-level equipment...

The lower-level equipment that hunters can wear is made from the scraps of monsters provided by the Felynx. It has the most basic equipment capabilities... The hunters have already traveled through three worlds wearing lower-level equipment.

As for higher-level equipment, hunters need to hunt monsters themselves, and then make them using the vital materials they hunted.

Master-level equipment, on the other hand, requires powerful monsters, ancient dragons, or materials from singularity monsters... These include battle-hardened monsters, unique monsters, abnormal monsters with two names, or dominant monsters in the wild...

But those are still some distance away from the current hunters.

"But...it's finally over."

Nie Chiwu grinned.

Basically, everything they came to Night City to do has been completed.

David's fate was changed.

Saburo Arasaka was eliminated.

Arasaka Yorinobu began to seize power in Arasaka Corporation.

The data on the mikoshi was destroyed by Qiao Qi and Otto together, and the mikoshi in Night City was directly blown up by Qilin.

The hunters have already paved the way, and all that remains is for David to do.

"David, the rest of your future depends on you." Nie Chiwu happily opened a bottle of recovery medicine and used the sweet honey-sweetened recovery medicine to comfort himself physically and mentally: "The rest of the world has nothing to do with hunters."

On the other side, David also saw the news that the conquest of Qilin was over.

David held the somewhat panicked Lucy in his arms and felt a heavy responsibility falling on his shoulders.

This is the path David has chosen, and he will continue on it no matter what...

For his own world, for the world he wanted to see, for him...

I want a world where people who care about me live.

Chapter 270: The Day After

The chaos in Night City lasted for quite some time.

Arasaka Tower was completely destroyed, and even Saburo Arasaka died in the attack... just like when Johnny Silverhand and his men blew up Arasaka Tower and killed Saburo Arasaka's eldest son.

And on that day, the prosthetics of all the people in Night City were pushed out by their regenerated flesh, whether they wanted it or not.

Many people believed this to be a miracle and even began promoting it online... However, that publicity quickly disappeared from the internet...

After a short power struggle within Arasaka, Arasaka Yorinobu gained control of most of the speaking power in Arasaka.

After the death of Saburo Arasaka, there was indeed a lot of unrest in the Arasaka Company, but... those unrests were quickly resolved by Yorinobu Arasaka.

The other companies originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make things worse for Arasaka, but during the turmoil, many of their facilities and factories were looted by a large number of mercenaries, and they also suffered heavy losses, so they were unable to do much to Arasaka.

And those factories... were all Roger's work. She made the right bet in that turmoil and made a lot of money. She even earned a favor from Arasaka Yorinobu.

After losing the suppression of Saburo Arasaka and the involvement of Hanako Arasaka, Yoriki Arasaka almost completely liberated his abilities, and quickly gained actual control over most of the Arasaka Corporation. **************************************************, and was forced to the point where he had little ability to resist.

"Give me some more time, and I can make Arasaka the best helper for David and me!" When Arasaka Yoriaki said this, there was a surging and youthful fire in his eyes, full of vitality that did not belong to his age.

Arasaka Tower is also in the process of planning and reconstruction, and Arasaka Yorinobu left a large office in the sketch... It was left for David and placed on the upper floor, as a small gift from him to David.

In another way, David became the man standing on the top of Arasaka Tower.

The hunters also collected the Qilin's materials and placed them all in the gathering's warehouse as the hunters' public property.

Nie Chiwu was also planning to see if he could use these Qilin materials, which were not enough to make master-level equipment, to make several sets of high-level equipment that hunters could use now, so that hunters could adapt to the capabilities of higher-level equipment.

The Hunter Gang also gradually began to disappear from the streets of Night City.

In the bar of the afterlife, Rogge looked at the man drinking milk in front of him with a complicated expression.

These hunters in front of her, after causing such a big commotion in Night City and even dealing with Saburo Arasaka, not only did nothing happen, but they appeared in front of her openly and said they wanted to say goodbye to Night City.

"David said he would send fresh milk regularly."

Nie Chiwu grinned and said to Rogge, "Now, the hunters' drinks are worthy of being on the wine list in the next life, right?"

"I'm about to give you a drink menu, you horrible guys..." Rogge's expression was complicated. "You... aren't from this world at all? Are you aliens? Or something else? Damn it... I didn't expect that at my age, I would still have such sci-fi ideas. But if I don't think this way, there's no way to explain what happened."

"You guessed right. We came from another world, and now we're going back." Nie Chiwu said nonchalantly, "Thank you for our cooperation during this period... It's been such a pleasure."

"You guys are crazy... You're not some kind of living saint, are you? Do you even know Jesus?" Rogge thought back to everything that had happened in Night City recently. "Why are you doing all this...?"

"So that someone can be better off." Nie Chiwu rummaged through his pockets, pulled out a memory chip, and pushed it in front of Rogge: "This is a small gift for you."

"Chip? What kind of chip is this?" Rogge took the chip curiously and was about to put it into his chip slot to read it, but was stopped by Nie Chiwu.

"This is a contact method. Don't insert it into someone's chip slot... The program inside allows you to contact a rather young old guy."

Nie Chiwu crossed his arms and said, "Johnny Silverhand... You should know that after Ultra was kidnapped by Arasaka Corporation, he made something for Arasaka. Now, Johnny Silverhand's consciousness, which was extracted before his death, is installed in the newly built server. If you want to contact him, use this program."

"Huh?" Rogge was stunned for a moment. Seeing this, Nie Chiwu briefly explained the cause and effect.

From the time Johnny Silverhand had his consciousness extracted by the Soul Killer and placed in the Mikoto's laboratory, to when Jotaro used telekinesis to write Johnny Silverhand's consciousness into a chip before the Mikoto exploded, to when Johnny Silverhand was placed in a newly built server and woke up...

"Guess what Johnny Silverhand wanted to do after he woke up? He thought we were Arasaka's lackeys and wanted to kill us." Nie Chiwu said happily, "In the end, it took a lot of effort to convince him. It was really interesting."

"Ha... When I think about that guy waking up and finding himself trapped in a server that looks like a box, I feel like this is really the retribution he deserves." After hearing what Nie Chiwu said, Rogge felt inexplicably happier. "I'll contact him."

"Okay, there's nothing else to do. It's time for me to leave." After Nie Chiwu finished drinking the milk in the cup, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Rogge stopped Nie Chiwu and said after a moment's hesitation, "So... what will the future of Night City look like?"

"Don't ask me. This isn't my city, nor is it my world." Nie Chiwu spread his hands. "You should ask David... ask the young people who still have infinite possibilities."

"We are only responsible for lighting the first fire in this decaying city, removing the accumulated dampness, and drying out the firewood that won't burn."

"As for how to make this fire burn more and more vigorously, that is not our business!"

Roger nodded: "Okay, I understand."

"It seems I have to change my lifestyle..."

Chapter 271 David's Confession

"..."

In a temporary rented apartment where Mann's team was located, David was facing everyone in Mann's team with a serious expression.

David was holding a storage chip in his hand, and his expression made the people in Mann's team realize that David seemed to have something important to say.

After the last city-wide prosthetic body fall-off incident, Team Mann suffered heavy losses.

The main problem was that all the prosthetics they had installed had been squeezed out by the effects of the recovery potion. Although the prosthetics were not lost... but just installing them would cost a lot of money, plus the lost work time...

The most popular place in Night City right now is the prosthetics doctor's clinic. The queue alone can stretch for three blocks, and all the people are people who need to have prosthetics installed.

"David, it looks like you have something important to tell us." Mann narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at David. "So the reason you called all of us here today is..."

"Brother Mann, today... I'm going to tell you everything I know! This is what the Grand Commander suggested to me." David took a deep breath.

David thought about the relationship between Mann's team and David for a long time but couldn't find a suitable way to deal with it. In the end, Nie Chiwu gave David advice.

Since everything is over now, why not just... release the Cyberpunk Edgewalker to Mann and the others?

There was no need to hide the things that had been changed, and it was a good way to explain everything to David.

After hesitating for a moment, David inserted the chip into the player, then held Lucy's hand tightly, took a few deep breaths, and then pressed the play button.

"This is...something someone showed me. It was the future that was originally mine."

There are ten episodes in total, and each episode is about twenty minutes long excluding the opening and ending credits... It took more than three hours to finish playing, and it silenced everyone present.

Pyrrha couldn't believe that she died so easily under the hand cannon of a cyber madman, and died so casually.
