Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

Xiangzi saw a flash of green light in the palm of his opponent's hand.

"!"

Xiangzi immediately jumped back and moved away.

Xiangzi did not pursue, and his opponent did not approach.

The girl also retreated, seemingly waiting for the next round of attack.

The two separated to opposite sides of the field.

"what's up!"

The audience booed continuously because this fight was not even a test.

"..."

But Xiangzi's expression had turned ugly.

"(Electric arc.)"

Natural persons cannot generate electricity from their palms.

This girl who looks like a gangster has undergone cyber transformation on her palms!

Xiangzi didn't have a prosthetic eye, but she could tell from the power-on effect just now that it was probably some kind of technological [adaptive skin]!

This type of cyber modification is usually used to adapt to technical firearms. After accessing this [Adaptive Skin], the technical firearms can shoot arcs while firing, increasing the lethality, penetration, and diffusion to non-living organisms.

Xiangzi had never seen anyone fight directly using [Adaptive Skin].

But she could imagine using it in combat.

……charged.

The palms are electrified!

This type of electric shock is designed to adapt to technical firearms. Therefore, it is not like the professional close combat modification [Electronic Tiger], which can release a powerful arc at the moment of contact.

"(But I'm afraid it can still cause electrical damage... and temporary paralysis...)"

Xiangzi thought.

Just now, Xiangzi escaped because he was wearing insulated leather gloves.

But then, the other party only needs to hit Xiangzi anywhere except his leather-gloved hands...

Xiangzi will be electrocuted!

Mild electric shock

Normally, it's not a big deal.

But Xiangzi still held two small knives in his hands!

The electric shock will cause the muscles to contract rigidly, and you will lose control of your hands. The gloves are likely to be cut by the knife.

Not only that.

A brief spasm of the hand could easily cause the knife to drop!

Xiangzi glanced at the organizer and his guards.

They must have noticed that they were cheating and had weapons.

However, they condone a certain degree of cheating.

After all, the banker's money is what they want, and it doesn't matter who wins or loses.

But this does not mean that they will condone cheating when it is exposed!

If my knife fell in front of everyone - and I knew I had cheated - then what would happen next -

"..."

A little cold sweat broke out on Xiangzi's forehead.

She stared at her opponent.

However, the girl opposite, who looked like a gangster, was still jumping back and forth easily.

She was not disturbed by the boos around her, nor did she have any special reaction to Xiangzi's actions.

"([Physicality] and [Reaction] are very low... but I'm afraid [Calmness] is very high.)"

Xiangzi stared at the opposite side.

Because the implanted items are cyber modifications that provide technical firearm assistance, there is a high probability that there will also be points for [Technical Ability].

Xiangzi has to lose.

...But now, I don’t dare to lose.

"(what to do?)"

win?

lose?

Destroy the game yourself?

Find Hailing and Miaomeng to disrupt this game?

Trying to get the knife out?

Escape without caring about anything?

Just as Xiangzi's brain was working rapidly, thinking of various methods -

Suddenly.

The girl who looked like a gangster stepped forward.

"—!"

Fist wind strikes——

The opponent began to attack actively!

Chapter 215: Boxing Tournament

The girl who looked like a gangster suddenly attacked!

The fist was in front of her, but Xiangzi didn't dare to block it. Her [reaction] was not strong, and she couldn't guarantee that she could accurately catch the opponent's fist with her gloves.

She could only keep backing away!

“(Retreating until being forced out of the venue is also considered a failure!)”

Xiangzi thought.

But the opponent seemed to see through this.

The opponent followed closely.

Moreover, it will only force Xiangzi to the center of the venue.

Every time Xiangzi moved a little too far to the edge, his opponent would stop attacking and change his position.

Whoosh!

Another punch.

Xiangzi barely managed to escape.

The fist missed Xiangzi's upper arm by a few inches.

"..."

Xiangzi discovered it.

The girl, who looked like a gangster, attacked Xiangzi's shoulders, arms and elbows.

“(Don’t hit me on the head.)”

I guess it’s because the head has a brain-computer and many audio-visual components, so they’re afraid that the effects of an electric shock would be too obvious.

There is probably only one goal.

Let your knife show.

"(Very thoughtful...)"

The opponent punched again.

Xiangzi has been keeping his distance.

Xiangzi stared into his opponent's blue eyes.

The opponent's [physical] and [reaction] are very low.

As long as you move a little further away, you won't be easily hit.

However, if we keep delaying like this, it’s only a matter of time before we get hit—

"!"

Xiangzi was distracted by thinking!

The other party seized this opportunity!

The hook punch came close to Xiangzi from a very tricky angle——

——!

The fist grazed Xiangzi's chest and hit the front of his raised sweatshirt.

chapped.

The electric arc jumped out with a slight sound.

Still, not quite there.

Failed to hit it firmly.

The arc just brushed against the surface of the clothing.

Xiangzi gasped and took a step back.

The sound of "Fight back! Fight back! What are you doing!" was heard continuously in the field.

They are all talking about Xiangzi.

Xiangzi paused.

then.

"..."

Slowly, she raised her hands.

Xiangzi opened his fist.

She raised her hands to the sides of her face.

"!"

There was an uproar in the field!

Open your fists and raise your hands...

It means surrender!

"The defender is going to surrender!" the host shouted with spit flying, "This is really - no one has ever done this before! Because, I remind you again! On this stage - there is only failure, no surrender!"

The host repeated "no surrender" twice.

However, Xiangzi still stood there with his hands raised and said nothing.

Everyone started booing Xiangzi.

But after Xiangzi persisted like this for dozens of seconds, everyone began to boo the girl who looked like a gangster and had been watching from a distance.

"Your opponents have surrendered!"
