Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

This matter is indeed full of attraction.

It is not just a mobile competition for vendors, nor do they worry about safety issues like ordinary merchants. They only keep resources such as gasoline that are difficult to rob, which allows them to attract more trading partners than ordinary merchants.

and……

After all, human physical strength has its limits.

In the continuous battle, [Bronze Jaw] seemed to be about to fall.

This means that more and more people are betting on him to fail.

More and more people want to challenge him and get gasoline.

……but……

"(This is where the game starts to get scary, right?)"

Xiangzi slowly walked around to the edge of the field.

Another challenger takes the stage.

boom!

sand!

The two fought for only a few rounds before the challenger was knocked out of the arena in the same way as the previous loser.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, he fell to the ground, covering his brow.

Blood was gushing out between his fingers.

"He-he cheated!"

The loser suddenly shouted, attracting a lot of people's attention.

“This is a knife wound!”

He pressed his forehead.

You can see a long wound from the brow bone to the cheek.

"He has a knife!"

the challenger yelled.

However, Bronzejaw showed his hands.

There's nothing in there.

"...Don't act like a sore loser." Bronze Jaw said, "Everyone present has undergone cyber-transformation. You all know how much of your arm bones are original. Isn't it normal for a few pieces of iron to be scratched?"

Whoa whoa!

The provocation of [Bronze Jaw] made the already excited audience boil over——

"(That's not what you said!)" Miao Meng whispered in her brain, "(That guy must have something in his hand!)"

“(It’s just for storing things.)” Hai Ling said.

"(Did you see it?)" Miao Meng asked.

Hai Ling nodded.

"([Spike Hand]." Hai Ling said, "(A modified part. Installed inside the knuckles, it can pierce the opponent the moment of contact.)"

Hai Ling glanced at the previous challenger who only had a broken eyebrow bone but was still sitting on the ground and had not gotten up.

"(He may have also implanted a bleeding or neurotoxin plug-in.)" Hailing said.

"(Oooooh!)"

Miao Meng sighed. She asked Hai Ling:

"(Can you beat him with your bare hands?)"

“(…No problem.)” Hai Ling was not modest, “(His footwork was too bad.)”

Meow Meng whistled.

"(Is it time for Haizi to show off!)" she said.

"(……)"

Hai Ling also moved her wrist joints.

However, Xiangzi stretched out his hand to block Hailing.

"(Look there.)"

Xiangzi said to Hailing and Miaomeng.

“(……?)”

The two of them looked in the direction Xiangzi was looking.

They saw that in the side area, there was a person who was planning to sign up and was being scanned by a guard holding a flamethrower in the preparation area.

However, the guard shook his head.

Everyone vaguely heard them arguing. They heard words like "non-compliant prosthesis", "tendon volume", "cannot participate".

"(They will look at the contestants' prosthetic configuration to determine whether they are strong enough.)" Xiangzi whispered, "(They will refuse to allow people with a certain level to participate... Those who can defeat [Bronze Jaw] should all be their own people. They are in control.)"

This means that if Hai Ling goes to sign up, she will definitely be stopped.

"(How do I do that?)" Miao Meng asked, "(Do you want me to hack their artificial eyes?)"

“(I’m not sure if there are any hackers on the other side.)” Xiangzi said, “(Hacking their artificial eyes might lead to counter-tracking, and a conflict would break out. The risk is too great.)”

"(What should we do then?)" Miao Meng said, "(We don't participate in the competition, we just place bets?)"

"(No. Someone is manipulating the market. We have no chance of winning if we bet. If we follow too many people, we will be easily targeted.)" Xiangzi said.

"(Neither this nor that! Boss, you're really confusing me!)" Miao Meng said, "(So what are we going to do? Don't tell me we're going back!)"

“(We still have to compete.)”

Xiangzi said.

Miao Meng was startled.

"(You want me to fight?)" Miao Meng shouted, "(I can't fight! I can't fight at all! Just tell me and let's go back!)"

"(If you didn't talk so much, I wouldn't keep saying 'no'.)" Xiangzi sighed.

She went on to say:

“(It’s me.)”

……

The noise of people.

There were more people at the underground boxing arena than before, and it was even more lively.

"It's open, it's open!"

The host wearing sunglasses turned on his [Wide Area Sound Amplification] plug-in and shouted loudly.

"Another new challenger! A young man!"

The host waved his hand to the side of the crowd.

Xiangzi, wearing sportswear and covering his face with a hood and a baseball cap, pushed through the crowd and walked out.

"So young and so thin, isn't he!" the host said loudly, "Just like a student! He actually came to [Reclamation New Land Phase 2]... and even participated in our boxing ring. He is so courageous. The young are formidable! Let's applaud this young man's courage!"

There was a commotion in the crowd.

"He's really too young," "Look at his footsteps, his physique and reaction aren't very good," "Are you here to challenge me?" and other whispers kept coming out of the crowd.

the other side.

"The defender - [Bronze Jaw]!"

Still the defender from before.

The crowd cheered.

Chapter 1.0 1 Cheating Method (4k Blade Extra)

As the host shouted "Bet, bet!", [Bronze Jaw] also walked onto the stage.

"Personnel check - completed -!" The host's artificial eye went out, and he shouted, "Everyone! Get your cheese popcorn, flying chips and replacement dentures ready! Because, it's about to begin -"

The host raised his hand.

[Bronze Jaw] stood in front of Xiangzi.

He was not tall, but still a head taller than Xiangzi.

Before you put your hands down, it's time to make harsh remarks.

"..."

However, Xiangzi didn't say anything.

[Bronze Jaw] raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiangzi like this.

"……Ah."

He snorted and laughed.

Then he reached out and pushed Xiangzi's shoulder.

Routine body movements before a fight.

However, he was annoyed by Xiangzi's rudeness and used a little force -

His [Physique] points are not particularly high.

But compared with Xiangzi, he is still completely crushed.

"!"

Xiangzi was pushed by him and completely lost his balance!

She seemed to be completely unprepared - she didn't stand firmly and was immediately pushed away and fell to the edge of the field -

Snap!

Xiangzi fell and sat at the feet of some spectators, stirring up the dust on the ground.

"what!"

"that's all?"

"Shit, I bet on this guy—I thought he was some kind of surprise warrior!"

There were laughs, exclamations and voices of regret from the crowd.

"Oh no! Our challenger didn't stand firmly!" the host said loudly, "But it doesn't matter! Fortunately, the opening command has not been given yet! If he falls down now, it doesn't count as a failure! Unless you want to give up on your own!"

"..."

Xiangzi didn't seem to be planning to give up on his own.

She slowly got up and wiped her face with her wrist.

She took up a boxing stance.

Xiangzi wore gloves today.

Pure black leather gloves.

They were Hailing motorcycle gloves. They were a little too big for Xiangzi and they were baggy.

"great!"

the host shouted.

"Our challenger intends to continue!"

On the other side, [Bronze Jaw] also raised his fist.
