Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

Then, the mission—

Xiangzi immediately turned over and tried to stand up, but because he was weak, he staggered and failed to get up.

"Mission - how's the mission going?"

She immediately asked Chuhua.

"The mission was a success."

Chuhua comforted Xiangzi to sit down again and said.

"The operation was perfect. The 48-hour observation period has passed without being discovered by Avex. The access card was also successfully recorded. After Meow Meng returned home, he checked its integrity. It couldn't be more complete."

"But, I found a small problem."

"piece of cake?"

"The AI ​​algorithm virus we implanted in the lounge on the 29th floor of our headquarters building has a time limit of one hour."

"Because the staff arrived early, there was a slight misalignment in the image."

Varied--

This is a very serious matter!

Although Avex’s people may not necessarily compare the surveillance footage with the staff’s artificial eye footage, as long as they confirm it, it will be exposed—

Xiangzi wanted to get up immediately.

However, Chu Hua continued:

"I've taken care of it."

“…Have you dealt with it?”

Chuhua pointed to the clothes on his body.

"Meow Meng, Hai Ling and I reviewed the situation the night before yesterday. We discovered this. Yesterday, before I released the announcement for Sumimi, I went to the Avex headquarters and discussed some work matters with them - this time it was a real work handover. By the way, we also adjusted the timing of the AI ​​algorithm virus."

“No one noticed.”

"Now it's foolproof. I've even eliminated any traces of the AI ​​algorithm virus. It's better than perfect."

“…They gave you too many things to do.”

Xiangzi frowned slightly.

"Shouldn't Meow Meng be the one to do this kind of thing?"

“It was indeed she who provided the algorithm for modifying the AI. However, she said she never wanted to go there again.”

Chuhua smiled.

"..."

Xiangzi pinched his eyebrows.

"What does it matter? My identity is the most natural. Besides, it's just on the way anyway." Chu Hua said.

"…But once you are exposed, the risk you have to bear will be even greater. Moreover, it is almost irreversible."

Xiangzi said:

"Even if it wasn't Meow Meng who did it, it should have been me who did it."

"I slept too long."

Xiangzi was a little annoyed.

This plan.

The plan was to let Miao Meng, Hai Ling and Chu Hua go first, while he would stay behind and take four potions before leaving.

Xiangzi once thought that this plan was a perfect solution.

But in fact, there are still risks.

After taking the drug, Xiangzi almost completely lost his ability to judge and perceive.

It was already my limit to rely on willpower to hold on for a breath and leave the building.

As the last person to finish the work, she did not have the energy to carry out a detailed inspection.

This is a huge taboo for stealth operations.

If it wasn't Xiangzi who was there, or if Xiangzi wasn't the only one there, this loophole wouldn't have been left. They wouldn't have to take the risk of being discovered in the next few hours, and Chuhua wouldn't have to risk going back there again.

...If I had given more thought to that scene, maybe there would have been a better solution.

Xiangzi was silent.

Chuhua seemed to know what Xiangzi was thinking.

"Don't be too hard on yourself," she said softly, "that's when your companions act."

Chuhua stood up, smiled at Xiangzi, and asked:

"drink water?"

……

At first, Xiangzi thought Chuhua would mind their dangerous actions, or at least, say a few more words.

But Chuhua seemed more concerned about Xiangzi's physical condition.

Chuhua left the room. After a while, she came back with a cup of warm water with salt.

"Give."

"Thank you."

Xiangzi sat on the bed and drank some water slowly.

Chuhua sat down at the tea table next to her and poured herself a cup of coffee.

The way she drinks coffee is also very elegant. It is almost impossible to tell that she is a child.

Only when she turned her head and looked at him could he recognize her former appearance from her expression and eyes.

Xiangzi looked at Chuhua like this and thought.

"what happened?"

Just like it is now.

Noticing Xiangzi's gaze on him, Chuhua turned around and asked.

“You’ve become really good.”

Xiangzi held the glass and said:

"Excellent execution, excellent analytical skills. Very strong physical ability as well. To be honest, your ability to go straight down the outside wall helped me a lot."

"Chuhua, how many [Attribute Points] do you have now?"

Chapter 81 You and I

[Attribute Points] is a relatively private data.

However, Chuhua just smiled and made it public.

"【Physical】: 11, 【Intelligence】: 6, 【Reaction】: 7, 【Technical Ability】: 7, 【Calmness】: 5."

she says.

"It's quite messy." said Xiangzi.

In the era of cybersecurity standardization, what is in greater demand is "precision" rather than "diversity".

The amount of experience a person's brain can accumulate is limited. Generally speaking, people will choose to consciously cultivate two or three specific attributes, accumulate experience in these areas, and reach the realm of Extraordinary or even 20 points of Full Points.

There are actually not many people like Chu Hua who scatter their experiences in all directions.

"No way," Chu Hua smiled and said, "Life at sea is just like this..."

“You don’t get to decide what you’re good at.”

"In the city, if a place is impassable, you can change a road, a method, or a person. But at sea, once you jump on the 'catch' cargo ship, most of the time there is only one road, one method, and you are alone."

"Can we untie the ropes? Can we hack into the security system? Can we destroy the steering gear..."

"No one will only put problems that use your strengths in front of you. There will be problems in any situation on the ship. And whether a problem can be solved or not is often the difference between life and death."

"Everyone needs to be able to handle all situations and all conditions. That's our 'fishing'."

"Thank you for your hard work all along."

Xiangzi smiled.

"...No." Chu Hua paused and said, "After getting used to it, it's actually not bad."

"The City of Music requires specialization." Xiangzi thought for a moment and asked, "Have you ever considered changing your location?"

Wash point.

Keep the total experience and reset all [Attribute Points]. Then redistribute them to different attributes.

A technology that is extremely difficult even in the eyes of the most advanced technical talents in Lezhi City.

"I heard that it's very expensive. Moreover, it requires a very good and trustworthy prosthetics doctor... I'm not planning on doing it for now." Chu Hua said.

"You've helped me a lot." Xiangzi said, "If there's a chance, I'll try to help you wash some."

"For your trouble."

Chuhua smiled.

"Chuhua, what kind of firearms are you good at?"

"I can use almost all common models on the market. I use submachine guns and assault rifles more often, and I've used shotguns quite a bit as well. In confined spaces, I use blunt instruments like iron pipes."

"You're a very good intruder. If [Seven Bands] knew you were coming to the City of Music, they would probably take you away before Honeycomb took you to sing."

"Haha, Xiaoxiang, don't say that. You..."

Chu Hua suddenly realized that she had entered a topic that she shouldn't talk about. She was silent for a while.

"fine."

Xiangzi put the glass on the bedside and said to himself.

"Just like I told you, my points were washed away by the Toyokawa family. Now they are all at the initial value... and my synapses are also destroyed. Currently, the only thing that has increased my points by more than 2 points is [Calmness] by using the [Point Chip]."

“There are no guns or equipment.”

"I put your stuff in the closet," Chu Hua said. "You brought almost nothing, just a small knife."

"Thanks, Chuhua. I was just worried that it might be lost."

Xiangzi didn't intend to go into depth on this topic.

"——Xiao Xiang!"

Chu Hua couldn't help it anymore. She leaned forward.

"The plan you carried out in the Avex headquarters building was too dangerous. It's not something you can afford right now—"

"I'm sorry you had to see this."

Xiangzi had expected Chuhua to say this. Her expression did not change, and she said calmly:

"That's already a very safe plan."

"It's not what I know as 'safe'."

"I know what I'm doing. With four doses, I can still hold out for a while. I won't die."

"No... except for the desperadoes, no one would have such great confidence in this drug that acts on the brain. What would you do if I hadn't waited for you at the exit of Avex Square?"

"I'll ask Delamain to take me to a prosthetic doctor. There's a prosthetic doctor at Pastel*Palettes who I've contacted, and he's pretty good. They'll save me, and nothing will be exposed."

Xiangzi maintained social etiquette and answered appropriately.

But this kind of social etiquette made Chuhua feel anxious.
