People are in cyberpunk, but they are top-level cyberpsychopaths

"Thank you for calling me to express your sincere feelings, but you need to know one thing——"

“It’s impossible for me to drop out of school on my own initiative.”

The firm tone surprised the person on the other end of the phone, and even made them a little angry.

"Do you know what you're talking about, David Martinez!"

"Of course I know, and I know even better that disgusting you is a rare pleasure in my life, Shengnan."

"There is absolutely no way I would voluntarily drop out of school just to make my life more enjoyable."

"So, if you have any way to make me drop out of school, please take care of it. Otherwise, it would be too boring, wouldn't it?"

"I will be waiting for you to make a move at any time. Let me see your skills."

After saying that, he hung up the phone, leaving the other party no chance to fight back.

I even imagined Shengnan getting angry and smashing the furniture.

Anyway, there was already a grudge between them, and he didn't mind letting it get a little deeper. It could be considered as adding some spice to their lives.

As for revenge or something?

Zaan big stage, come if you have a mom!

06. This system does not collect garbage

"But then again, news spreads really fast."

The school already knew about it just a few hours after he left.

Then, I have to become stronger quickly...

He casually pulled the package over, turned the urn inside over on the balcony, and then poured out the rest of the contents of the package.

A pistol and four full magazines, about thirty separation chips, and four Type 1 pneumatic potions.

There was also a metal spine device wrapped in a yellow work suit and placed in a plastic bag.

It is a military-grade prosthesis produced by military technology - Sian Westin and the Krenzikov that was assembled together.

Siang Westin used an artificial brain stem to speed up thinking and slow down the flow of time, while Krenzikov was responsible for the artificial spine that enhanced the reflex nerves.

These are all I have on hand right now.

Those separated chips can be sold by a more reliable prosthetics doctor, so that better prosthetic devices can be replaced.

It's almost the same when dealing with the animal gang that was responsible for the mother's death.

But to deal with Adam Hammer is nothing but a daydream.

In the game, you need various points to be able to tear the heavy hammer apart with your bare hands, but in reality... just forget it.

After all, he is a freak who has been transformed with full body prosthetics, and any part of his body is worth a lot of money.

And it’s the threshold to becoming a Night City legend, which is not weak at all.

"Hey, System, didn't you say you would help me become stronger? How? And how do you solve the side effects of the prosthetic device?"

He didn't want to be as embarrassed as in the anime, where they couldn't last long after their entire body was transformed.

[The host can purchase prosthetic plug-ins on the mall page. ]

[The host's body is already completely immune to the physical dependence and psychological effects of the prosthesis, so there is no need to worry about it. ]

As the system prompt sounded, a virtual window appeared in front of him.

Above are a wide variety of legendary prosthetic plug-ins, most of which have been seen in the game, and there are also some strange prosthetics that have never been seen before.

For example, Wolverine's claws or something like that.

But as for the price...just take a look.

The long string of zeros at the end is simply dizzying. Even if you sell it to a company, they can’t afford it.

What a sad story....

[The host can use the recycling function to recycle unnecessary prostheses in exchange for money. ]

"Fuck, why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier!"

Hearing the system say this, I became alert.

"Hurry, hurry, recycle these separation chips first..."

As the saying goes, "When you are surrounded by mountains and rivers, you may think there is no way out, but when you turn around, you will find another village with willows and flowers." This is what it means, right?

Although it’s a pity that the group of prosthetic bodies with removed kidneys were left there, at least there are still a bunch of separation chips here, right?

If I sell these to the system at original price, I can at least exchange them for a better prosthetic device, right?

However, the next second the system ruthlessly shattered his fantasy.

[Friendly reminder: This system is not a trash can and is not responsible for recycling trash. ]

“??? Fuck!” David couldn’t help but swear.

Although these chips in front of me are not that valuable, they should be able to be exchanged for a few thousand euros.

But it is regarded as garbage in the system? !

Are you so arrogant?

[If the host wants to know the price of the prosthesis, this system can mark it for free. ]

The system prompt sounded again and some changes appeared in front of his eyes.

For example, the pile of chips in front of you are all 0, while the two prosthetic devices placed next to them are marked with prices.

Eight thousand euros...three thousand euros...?!

"Is it so cheap?"

[Because it is second-hand, the price is half. 】

"Depend on!"

David lay down on the sofa, staring blankly at the chandelier on the ceiling.

What about helping me become stronger?

They are all lies...

But this price is at least better than that of the prosthetic doctor. At least the doctor who applied the glue only quoted 10,000 euros, and he cut it by 4,000 the next day.

"Forget it, let's just watch Mewtwo and relax..."

What to do when you encounter difficulties? Of course, sleep well!

Therefore, he simply gave up thinking and took out a few black Chaomengs that looked like chips from the hidden corner of the sofa.

These are all David's treasures.

I remember that in the game, I did everything I could to see these black Super Dreams, and I was even tricked by the kidney-cutting group and almost had my kidneys cut off.

Now, I can finally get what I want...

"Ooooh! This! That's it!!!"

When he saw the scene displayed by Mewtwo, his whole body suddenly bent like a shrimp.

This is really super exciting!!

Especially for someone like him who is about to change his career to become a magician.

However, no one knows how long this situation will last tonight.

The only thing we know is that the nights in Night City are so restless.

...

The next morning, David got up early.

He took off his wet pants and threw them into the washing machine, then changed into his college uniform which was neatly folded aside.

This was the clothes his mother washed and folded neatly for him, but it was probably the last time.

"Ugh."

An inaudible sigh disappeared in the air in an instant, and he picked up the black package on the coffee table and prepared to go out.

Just then, the news from TV attracted his attention.

"Hi everyone, my name is Arif Iqbal and you are watching WNS News."

"A horrific murder occurred yesterday evening at the abandoned Redwood Mental Hospital in the Coronado Ranch area of ​​Santo Domingo."

"Based on the clues currently available, NCPD speculates that this was a gang fight of a serious nature..."

The news was still being broadcast, but he was no longer interested in listening and raised his hand to turn it off.

"I didn't expect such a trivial matter to make the news."

You know, usually the news in Night City is about major companies, but today's headline is this...

But if you think about it carefully, it’s normal.

After all, Night City is now too peaceful and too stable.

Apart from minor fights between gangs and minor frictions between companies every day, no major events occur and news of this level rarely appears.

So, the group of reporters who lacked performance swarmed in like dogs smelling shit.

"It's so boring."

This is the only evaluation he could give.

So he walked out of the house.

Today's schedule is very simple. First, we will find Lao Wei and install the two prosthetics he has.

I humiliated that guy named Shengnan yesterday, and he will definitely come to cause trouble today, so I have to install the prosthesis before going to school.

I'll wait until night time and then slowly cause trouble for the Animal Gang and make some extra money.

As for the glue doctor who sells Black Mewtwo?

Forget it. Although he is considered to be more conscientious among the cyborg doctors, he cannot be trusted.

In the huge Night City, the only cyborg doctor he can trust is Victor.

07. It hurts, it hurts so much

"Why are you showing me this?"

In an expensive and exquisite office, Meredith Stout, a senior executive of military technology, spoke arrogantly while sitting on a leather sofa chair.

On the virtual screen in front of her were playing the residual images of yesterday's Redwood Mental Hospital.

"Director Stott, the boy on the screen is David Martinez, 17 years old, studying at Arasaka Academy, from Santo Domingo..."

"Tell the important point!"

"Yes, I think David Martinez has great potential. Perhaps we can win him over and train him to be the second Morgan Blackhand..."

"Bang—enough, shut up!" Meredith slammed the table hard, interrupting the man's narration.

"Agent Anthony Gilchrist, do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know Director Stott, but I think..."

The man wanted to argue, but Meredith didn't listen at all. Instead, he scolded him, "Don't say anything more. This is not your job, Gilchrist. Remember your duty."

"Go out."

Meredith waved her hand and spun the swivel chair around, not giving the man a chance to continue.

"Yes..."

In desperation, the man could only turn around and leave.

Hearing the sound of the automatic door of the office closing, Meredith took out a cigarette and put it in her mouth. With a click, the small flame from the lighter lit it.

Then he took a deep breath and looked down at the city of lights, wine, women and desire outside the window, his eyes a little dazed.
