He has an illusion.

I am the little kid who was brought to the office by Ma Ma, because he couldn't run around or disturb others, so he stared at the wall in a daze, and then "Abaa, Baba, Baba".

Luo Qi: Abba aba aba...

The walls are so white and the floor tiles are so big.

Smelling a little fragrance, Luo Qi wrinkled his nose and sniffed.

It's the smell of just getting out of the shower, a little wet.

He looked at Melissa's still slightly wet collarbone, as well as her fresh and smooth hair, and fell into deep thought.

How did she manage to come back from the police without a drop of sweat?

Perhaps feeling Luo Qi's gaze, Melissa, who was writing the report, paused and exited the cyberspace.

"..."

The two looked at each other speechlessly.

"Does it look good? How about looking at it for a while?"

Melissa looked at him expressionlessly.

"It's a wig, understand?"

wig?

Luo Qi didn't react for a while.

Then he suddenly opened his mouth wide, and then closed it immediately, with a very rich expression.

He remembered a rumor.

The violent terrorist mobile team is all bald.

It's not because you can only become stronger if you become bald, but because the helmet of the violent mobile team needs to be connected to the neural interface of the head.

Hair is certainly a hindrance.

No matter from the perspective of sanitation, heat dissipation, or isolation, a bald head with no hair left is similar to a cyber hacker.

Because there is no implant, the helmet distributed to Luo Qi is a version without a connection device, and all intelligent controls are concentrated in the external device.

The violent and terrorist mobile team is not all transformed men covered in steel, a considerable number of people choose to transform biological parts.

Cyber ​​parts and biological parts.

This was the criterion for the previous (third) generation of implants.

Lighter, more durable carbon fiber and ceramic polymer third-generation Cyber ​​components replaced the second-generation heavy metal.Hidden under-skin armor and retractable weapons designed for covert operations and assassination missions also appeared at this time.RealSkinn also makes versions that are bulletproof, bladeproof, and fireproof, and are widely used by the company's security forces.

And biological components were also invented during this period, which is a technology that replaces mechanical replacement with biological modification.Subcutaneous nanowire polymer armor, nanomedical robots, toxin adhesives, and synaptic upgrades are becoming more common.Although biologically improved muscles and organs are not as powerful as cyber components, they are resistant to electromagnetic pulse attacks and cannot be detected by conventional scanners, making them more likely to cause cyber psychosis, but are still enthusiastically sought after.

People with both cyber and biological components are the most dangerous corporate spies and agents, mercenaries, etc.

In the past 3 years, cyber components have been widely used in different sectors of society, and in various fields - from military, medical, manufacturing to family life, sex and entertainment industries.

But that's all in the past.

Now it is the world of the fourth generation, which belongs to the pursuit of luxury and power.

The latest and greatest cyber components fall into two categories.

The first category is "power," where implants like advanced neural processors, cyber-hacking components, multimodal cyber eyes, and stress analyzers are also more competitive.

The second category is "luxury", although equally advanced, the design purpose of the second category of top-notch components is obvious.This style has become a genre among social elites, business heirs, superstars, singers and other celebrities.

Flowing platinum threads are woven into state-of-the-art faux leather, and anatomically based cybernetic bodies are either made of pure crystal artificially synthesized in orbital stations or covered in natural shingles worth tens of thousands of euros.This assembly was almost decorative to show status and wealth.

Likewise, the low-end market is dominated by cheaper material components.Sex couples, porn stars, hospitality workers and people who need to dress up but are flashy are the mainstream groups of consumption.For example, cheap copper-zinc alloy is an excellent material for pretending to be gold.

Of course, power and luxury, practicality and beauty, are not mutually exclusive attributes.

Companies that produce components that provide more flexible appearance customization services tend to gain sweetness in the market.

Cyber ​​components have never been fully enclosed, otherwise, when they are damaged and need to be replaced, they will have to cut the skin and perform a major operation.

The aesthetic design applied to seams, slots, back plates and other parts has made more and more people treat the appearance of implants into an industry similar to tattooing.

There are such marks on the faces of V and Jack.

Have to say, it looks pretty cool.

But Melissa has no such traces, she just replaced both arms.

But this wig really surprised him.

After imagining Melissa's bald head in his head, Luo Qi couldn't help shivering.

Noticing his slight expression, Melissa frowned slightly, and a cruel smile gradually appeared on her face.

"Report."

At this time, a voice came from the door, crisp and clear, loud and powerful.

It is Suzi.

Luo Qi seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and quickly stepped back a few steps to get out of the way.

Although her career in military science and technology was not long, it changed Suzi so deeply that Luo Qi still has a strong special forces style when looking at her now.

Oh, it smells so good.

Suzi glanced at him lightly, then turned away without a trace, and walked towards Melissa's desk.

Are girls all magical creatures that emit fragrance automatically when they encounter water?

Luo Qi touched his chin and began to think about this question.

"Your assessment has passed."

Seeing that both Luo Qi and Suzi had arrived, according to the regulations, Melissa announced the result that everyone knew well.

"From now on, you are the official members of the violent mobile team."

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of crackling applause.

"About the fact that I was dragged onto a thief boat just passing by, yes." Luo Qi clapped hard, with "happy" written all over his face.

"Are you going to die by yourself or shall I help you?"

Melissa glared at him, the corners of her mouth curled up.

For this guy who repeatedly jumped on the edge of death, Melissa had an inexplicable urge to knead him into a ball.

"Clap."

Two biochips that had been changed and entered by Melissa's authority were placed on the table.

"Your identity information has been updated, this is the official chip, don't lose it."

Melissa asked again.

Then he turned his gaze to Luo Qi.

"As for the vacation arrangement you mentioned, I don't approve it."

"why?"

Luo Qi immediately showed a sad expression on his face.

Almost burst into tears.

"Why?" Melissa was speechless, "Nine to five, two days off a week, one month of paid vacation every year... Is this joke funny?"

Luo Qi thought carefully and said seriously.

"Working 40 hours a week and 30 days on all statutory holidays throughout the year is within reason."

In Night City, there is no such thing as annual holidays or National Day holidays.

Working 80 or even 100 hours a week is the norm.

Biotech (Biotech) won the No. 3 treatment of large companies in Night City with the treatment of six days of paid holidays a year.

Night Corp reduced the mandatory working hours to 80 hours a week, so it won No.5.

Luo Qi thought for a while, and suddenly felt that his request was too much in comparison.

But in Night City, the company treats people as consumables, doesn't it?

It's not that he doesn't have the ability to make a living, be a happy mercenary, and avoid those high-risk and high-paying jobs.

It's better than being a corporate dog.

However, the Supreme Armed Forces Tactics Department is not a place where you can come and go whenever you want.

He looked at Melissa, and suddenly felt that his decision to join the Terrorist Mobile Squad was an extremely wrong decision.

Sure enough, it was on a pirate ship, how could it be repaired!

"I knew you would be like this."

Seeing Luo Qi's "crying and chirping" face, Melissa didn't know what to do, turned her head, looked at the table and said.

"Your identity is a non-staff member. You don't have to stay at the headquarters at ordinary times, but you must carry a communication device with you. You cannot refuse when you are dispatched."

Ok?

Non-staff?

Luo Qi suddenly realized, and then his face brightened.

He also forgot to have this.

"Wow, that's great!"

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me." Melissa covered her forehead helplessly, "Thank you, thank her."

Hearing this, Luo Qi instantly became alert.

"What did you do to Suzi? What price did you make her pay?"

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

Then he saw Melissa's face suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny, revealing a sweet smile.

No matter how Luo Qi looked at it, she felt that there were a few big characters written on her face——

The treachery succeeded!

"Well, tell me, no matter what the result is, I will accept it. Don't worry, I can stand it."

Luo Qi covered his heart and said.

"She wants you to practice with her every day."

A new expression also appeared on Suzi's face.

Luo Qi also recognized it, it was——

gloat!

Chapter 98

Life is a kind of rhythm, there must be light and shadow, left and right, sunny and rainy, the taste is contained in the twists and turns that change but not violent.

Night City is a noisy city, and everyone is immersed in their own fantasy or someone else's fantasy.It's hard to be soberly alone in a place like this.

After a busy day, choosing to stare at the sky dotted with stars alone at night is a good way to calm down your heart and examine yourself.

But this method doesn't work in Dream City.

In the city of chasing dreams, you are "chasing dreams" even at night.

The night of the city is far more noisy than the day.

If you want to find yourself, you have to learn to leave a small space for your mind amidst the surrounding disturbances.

Luo Qi's method is very simple - look at Suzi's side face, and you will feel that the thousands of cars and horses in Guangsha have become the background sound in the movie screen, which gradually blurs with the passage of time. That leaves him and her.

The hustle and bustle of troubled times comes from superstition, and the comfort of fools is self-deception.

Luo Qi does not believe in so-called dreams, nor does he like to be a fool who deceives himself and others.
