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

"Yes, Captain Melissa, just this once! I promise there won't be a next time!"

"I hope you keep your word."

At this point, there was a busy tone on the phone.

At the same time, David also breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the captain is willing to say this, it means that this time he has managed to get away with it successfully.

At least Melissa was willing to help resolve this matter.

But then again, although Melissa Rory was crazy at ordinary times, she was not bad to him. At least she had helped him clean up his mess many times.

He was still very grateful for this, although he had not yet figured out how to repay her.

Try to make less trouble in the future?

Well, it’s such a happy decision!

But before that, you have to call someone.

Thinking of this, David called the cyber pirate.

"Hey, old friend, long time no see."

"Hey, David, long time no see. What's up? If you need a commission, I don't have any for you, at least not yet."

Regina's voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little more human than the first time they called, at least not so cold anymore.

But David shook his head.

"No, not about the commission, something else."

"Oh? Anything else? I happen to have some time today, so we can chat slowly."

"That would be great, my old friend, Lady Regina."

After David sorted out his words in his head, he said, "My old friend, you are very unkind."

"How to say?"

"Do you still remember the person I asked you to find, Sasha Yakovleva?" David walked from the corner of the alley to the other side and found a relatively clean place to sit down. "I asked you to help me find this person about half a year ago, but you hid it from me. You found it but didn't tell me."

"You have no respect for me at all."

"???"

Regina on the other end of the phone heard his words and slowly typed a few question marks: "I don't quite understand what you mean, David. I have been investigating the intelligence about Sasha Yakovleva, but there is still no news."

"You have to trust me on this point. We, as middlemen, will not lie on this kind of issue."

"Really?" David's voice became a little subtle. He pulled out the memory chip from the back of his neck and played with it in his hand. "But why did Sasha ask me to send you the dirty laundry about biotechnology?"

"What are you talking about? Some dirty stuff about biotechnology? I have no idea."

Regina was extremely confused.

She had no idea when Sasha Yakovleva, whom David mentioned, had contacted her and said she would send her the inside story of biotechnology.

"You really don't know?"

David's tone also became doubtful.

Because he could hear Regina's confusion.

"Of course it's true. We have been working together for so long, do I have to lie to you?"

Emmmm...Now that you put it that way, that's true.

Among all the middlemen, it is hard to say who offers the highest price, but when it comes to who is the most honest, Regina and the priest are definitely tied for first place.

They never hesitate to pay, they pay immediately after the task is completed, unlike that old woman Okada Wakako, who always goes to her territory to collect the payment...

Moreover, he was not stingy with information and never concealed anything.

In comparison, Faraday and his ilk are nothing but scum.

"...Okay, let's just take it as such, Ms. Regina. I hope everything you said is true." David replied in a standard mercenary tone.

But then again, if Regina didn't know Sasha at all, then how did Sasha know Regina?

And he actually wanted to send the information over, which means he has Regina's contact information...

how did you do that?

You have to know that normally these middlemen are elusive. If they don't contact you actively, you won't be able to find them at all.

Oh, by the way, except for the priest who is still in the Valentino gang in Heywood.

In this case, there is only one person who can give Sasha the contact information, and that is the Queen of the Afterlife - Rogge.

But, I was able to talk to Roger...

"You're quite capable..."

"Hmm? What do you mean you have the ability?"

The sudden voice reminded him that he had not hung up the phone yet.

"Oh, nothing, that's all for now. Remember to contact me when you have a commission."

"Of course. You are the best mercenary that can be hired in Night City. But if you ask me, you might as well go out of the city and relax. No matter how strong your body is, it will always be overdrawn. It is necessary to rest a little."

Regina inexplicably became concerned about his health.

Maybe it was because Regina was really scared during that period.

"No more, really not a drop left."

The priest and Regina were in this state at the time, and even Roger was speechless about him.

I have never seen anything so crazy that could actually hollow out the middleman.

As long as the commission is reasonable in his opinion, he will basically accept it.

What a madman.jpg

"Yeah... yeah... I know. Okay, hang up."

David said a few perfunctory words and then hung up the phone.

It’s not the right time to rest now. You will have plenty of time to rest when you die, even in eternal sleep.

What's more, instead of taking a rest, it would be better to see how the cat-like girl is doing.

It has been three hours since the patient was sent there. The operation should be completed, right?

After all, it was already so late, and if we delayed any longer it would be midnight...

Having a good work and rest schedule is the capital of revolution.

David thought so as he glanced at the dark sky.

But normally at this time, he didn't sleep at all. He was either watching TV, watching Mewtwo, or fighting a deadly battle with Lucy.

Although no one has been killed so far.

Maybe it's because of the implant?

probably?

David walked back while thinking about how he could kill Lucy.

But when he reached the entrance stairs of Lao Wei's underground black clinic, he happened to meet Mann who was kicked out.

Judging from his appearance, he was planning to go in and see his old friend, but was kicked out by Lao Wei and Misty?

Thinking of this, David couldn't help but smile and raised his hand to greet him: "Hey, Mann, you're here."

"Oh David, long time no see. You've been quite popular lately."

Seeing David coming, Mann's signature smile appeared on his face, and he stretched out his big hand, which was a smaller palm-leaf fan than before, and patted David on the back.

He was still dressed the same way, with a leather jacket, black sunglasses, and bare chest and back, just like a gangster boss.

"Well, I just accidentally gained a little fame, but it's still not as good as you were back then, Mann."

"Come on, David. You are now known as a living legend. Even people in the company don't dare to look down on you, not to mention that you have joined the Terrorist Squad."

Mann glanced at him and said with emotion, "David, my destination has long been clear, but now it is just your starting point. I don't know where the destination will end."

"But what I know is that you run very fast. You are better than any of us. You can reach heights that we cannot even peek at."

"So, run hard, run, with the hope of all of us..."

As he spoke, there was a hint of kindness in Mann's eyes.

Mann used to argue endlessly with David over the issue of implants, and they became like enemies.

And now, after Dolio's education, the two have reconciled.

He kept silent about that matter.

"What are you talking about, Mann? It sounds like a will... I don't like it." David scratched his head in distress.

"Compared to this matter, I want to know, have you started to add implants again?"

He looked at the parts of Mann's body.

The system's answer mentioned that Mann had several new implants installed.

Just like those hands, although they look similar to ordinary people's hands, just a little bigger in size, but they are real implants.

“Hahahaha!” Mann suddenly laughed and patted him on the shoulder: “Don’t worry, this was installed for me by Doctor Victor, he said it’s fine.”

She even gave him a thumbs up, showing her iconic big white teeth.

Well, it’s quite white, even a little dazzling.

But why did I suddenly think of a master and a disciple who were wearing the same pair of green tights?

No, now is not the time to think about this.

David shook his head to get rid of the image.

"Well, Mann, are you telling the truth? How about I go ask Lao Wei later?" David asked suspiciously.

Mann in green tights and all, it was just horrible, nightmare-worthy.

"Of course it's true." Mann patted his chest to show his sincerity.

But in fact, he had to spend a lot of time and effort to persuade Lao Wei to install such an implant for him some time ago.

This is what Lao Wei carefully selected from his collection.

Although it does put some strain on the body, it is bearable for Mann who has recovered well.

"Okay, let's just take it as it is."

David gave up the argument.

After all, he is not a nanny, so there is no need for him to take care of everyone's health.

What's more, these people are not children anymore.

"By the way, where's Rebecca? Where did she go?"

He glanced towards Mann's side and found that the crazy loli with twin ponytails and familiar Miku-colored hair was gone.

"Oh, Rebecca, she said she was going back home to get some beauty sleep."

"Um???"

Hearing this, David slowly typed a few question marks, and even imagined the scene of Rebecca waving her hand at him and running back home.

what's the situation?

You two discussed this, right? You also brought in a replacement?

Do you dare to change me back? I also want to go home and have a good beauty sleep!!!

76. Is there such a treasure girl in Night City? (6K)

The next morning.

David has returned to his old home, the super skyscraper H6 in Santo Domingo.
