Chapter 83 Witness: Subway Theft (Second Update)
David didn’t know Leer’s name, he only knew that he must be his elder brother.
So he held it in for a long time to come up with such a name.
Lil was also quite curious about what this guy was doing now, so he was on his way anyway, so they started chatting.
“Did you drop out of school?”
David nodded: "I will officially drop out of school tomorrow. Arasaka Academy is not a place for a poor boy like me."
"Then what are you going to do now?" Lear looked at the thin boy. Body——
Of course, he just looks thin. If he really starts to put on a prosthetic body, considering David's physical condition, he can become a big man in three weeks.
But his mind is too fragile. If he really changes like that, the probability of developing cyberpsychosis is as high as 99%.
"I plan to find a job first." After speaking, David gritted his teeth again, "Brother, I know you must have plans in the academy. I can still enter the academy normally tomorrow. If you have What kind of work?"
"Oh, I won't go to the academy starting tomorrow. I officially graduated."
"Huh?"
David was stupid.
Street boy - no, it should be street brother. How can it be connected with Arasaka Academy?
Anyone who sees this combination will think that this street brother is planning to do something big, such as kidnapping all the students and asking for ransom one by one.
Of course, in David's mind, a big brother like Lille would definitely disdain kidnapping, and maybe he had some high-tech idea.
But the only thing - the only thing is that it is impossible, and it should not be, that he is really reading!
"No, look, it's a Class A license, double certificate. But it's a pity, the name on the certificate is not my name, it's a fake name."
Lille showed himself half regretfully The physical license appeared clearly in front of David.
Jointly recognized by Night City Vocational Qualification and Talent Management Center-Arasaka Academy.
David's mouth opened wider and wider, and he suddenly felt like a clown.
He was confused: "Being a big brother on the street now also depends on academic qualifications?"
"Of course not, but when I go out and have many skills, I don't have to worry about myself. I prefer to study. "
Liel put away the license and asked: "What about you, what job are you going to find? But now that the employment pressure is so great, where are you going to find a job? What?”
Good question, it stopped David.
Can he say that he can memorize the student rules taught in the school and the ideological education courses of Arasaka College?
“Well, if I insist, the school will also teach us prosthetic calibration and technical knowledge.”
“That’s pretty good, can I take the license test?”
David opened his mouth but was speechless.
It’s a damn test—he knows his level well.
However, this question really confused David, and he also began to think about what he had learned at Arasaka Academy.
Advanced mathematics and basic physics are excluded!
In addition to the corporate culture that is compulsory for company dogs, it seems to be about improving personal accomplishment and maintaining the professionalism of business meetings.
Finally there are courses on history, economics and finance.
Which ones are useful?
David said uncertainly: "History, economics and finance, etc.? Will it help to find a job?"
Liel clicked his tongue: "It will help, but definitely It’s not helpful for street gangsters to find jobs. Strictly speaking, if you understand these thoroughly, you are very suitable for joining the company.
But if you are not in the company, it is really not of much use.”
No. Thinking about 2076, high school students will no longer receive basic science education - of course, it may be that David ruled out this correct answer first:
Those who understand basic subjects may not necessarily know technology, but most people who are good at basic subjects can learn technology very quickly.
David's shoulders visibly slumped, he was really at his wits end.
He feels that the only thing he is useful for is chip and prosthetic calibration technology - but what is his level equivalent to in 2076?
Equivalent to the second level computer level for college students in 2011.
You can't say it sucks or that it's useless at all, you can only say it's not very useful - especially if you are not a fresh college student.
Yes, the world is so contradictory.
Not everyone has a certificate, but it does not mean that if you have a certificate, you will have a job, and if you don't have a certificate, you will not live well.
But it doesn’t matter. The factory in Santo Domingo will always welcome high-quality young people to enter the factory to plug in the work chip, and the construction site in Taipingzhou also welcomes them to join the dust removal.
David immediately raised his head again:
"Then I will go to my mother's place of work to help her. I heard that collecting corpses is also a troublesome thing. Maybe I can get involved. Outsourcing contracts.
If I have time, I'll go to the bar and find a middleman to see if there's any work. The Kuiji chip is quite powerful, so I'll definitely teach the gangster a lesson. "
This kid is serious this time.
Liel touched his chin and said: "You are much more energetic than last time. Is there a gun in your pocket? "
David nodded and patted his bag.
"Yes, although it is a bit late to start learning these things at the age of 17, it is better than waiting for someone to die before learning it. Some. ”
After finishing speaking, Leer looked at the large floor-to-ceiling windows of the subway - suddenly, through the reflection of the floor-to-ceiling windows, he saw the external chip slot on David's neck flashing red.
This is a sign that the chip is forced to eject.
Interesting——
The corner of Lille’s mouth curled up——That man not only fell in love with David, but was also trying to break through his personal ICE protection.
Personal ICE, as a means of protection for individual prostheses, mostly uses the brain and brain implants as the hardware basis for protection.
Without considering the software architecture, the higher your intelligence level, the theoretically higher the complexity of the individual ICE.
In other words, a hacker's individual attack and defense largely depends on his or her intelligence level. When most hackers choose a target to hack, they will first obtain the other party's personal information table - this information table is generally located in the outer layer of the data structure, equivalent to a business card, and is less difficult to mine.
Lille also has such a business card, but it is fake.
And because of data gaps, most hackers are unable to detect that there is data embedded behind the fake business card and will believe it to be genuine.
However, 12 points of intelligence is already an extremely high level in this world.
Whether it is intelligence, reaction or physical attributes, if it exceeds 8 points, it is already an excellent level, and 10 points is the pure physical limit, which is almost impossible for ordinary people to reach.
Twelve points of intelligence, although far from Lille's limit, is a level that most people cannot reach.
Obviously, the invaders still have the confidence to do something big - unfortunately this is not all of Lille's computing power.
Once ICE is not breached, hackers on both sides will enter the real-time attack and defense stage - and Lille will therefore have a chance to surprise.
Plop.
There was the sound of heavy objects falling behind him. David turned around quickly and looked around, suddenly stunned.
In the aisle behind the two of them, a fashionably dressed white-haired girl fell to the ground, covering her head in pain.
Like a fool, David hurriedly squatted down to support the girl: "Are you okay? What's wrong?"
The data in Li Eryi's eyes flashed: "It's no big deal, it's just an intrusion into mine. The system was countered”
The white-haired girl bit her silver teeth lightly, enduring the nausea of system chaos, and pulled out an almost invisible thread from her arm, and then put it around David's neck!
Lil was amazed - isn't this David's favorite White Moonlight Lucy.
In the "Cyberpunk Edgewalker" anime, David often sees a beautiful white shadow on his way home.
Now he is directly held in the arms of this beautiful white figure - but it may not be that romantic.
“Back off, or I will kill this kid.”
Data was spinning in Lille's head: "Strictly speaking, he and I are not the same person. Secondly, are you sure your single molecule line is functioning normally?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly noticed The thread in the hand is dull and dull.
Single molecule wires are another technology that defies the sky in 2076 but cannot be further applied.
This kind of molecular wire has been composed of special single molecules arranged since it was produced.
However, thinness is not the only element of sharpness, it must also be hard.
When using single molecules, the prosthesis must provide electrical energy to enhance the force between single molecules so that it can break metal.
Sophisticated hackers can use this characteristic of the single molecule wire to control the current output as an interface to hack into the device. They can even gradually charge the single molecule wire when throwing it out, making it look like a braid. The killing effect.
But if this force is missing, the single molecular wire will be more fragile than imagined.
Liel knelt down and picked up the Kuiji chip on the ground. When he saw this thing, David felt stupid for a moment.
“I disabled your prosthetic body, I should have taken it back.
But this is my first time being hacked, and I have a very good experience in personal ICE attack and defense - David, your chip.
Most street boys start their first job as thieves.
Maybe you can ask this girl if she has any work for you. She is a very skilled hacker. "
"Is there anyone who praises himself so much? "The white-haired girl forced a smile, her guard still unabated.
If she is a hacker with good skills, who is she?
Having said that, the ICE structure set up by the opponent during real-time attack and defense is indeed not brilliant, it can even be said to be routine.
But what about the complexity, and the calculation speed that Lille showed when she counterattacked
Lille had no intention of talking to her anymore - she was going to the afterlife tonight. , he didn’t want to be yelled at by V again about why he was late again.
As for Lucy and David, we can only say that the time has come to test David.
Now all he has on his body is a piece of the Kuij400 chip that Lear rewarded him, which is worth a small amount of money. Lucy is unlikely to covet anything from him.
In the original work, at this time, David not only died of his mother, but also wore the Sean Westan used by James Norris like a dazed boy.
Now, there is nothing special about him, only an entry-level combat prosthetic body - and a living mother.
How far he can go and how much he can keep in this city depends entirely on himself.
If he can do well on his own, give him some odd jobs in the future.
Seeing Leer leave without looking back, the white-haired girl breathed a sigh of relief.
David in his arms smiled awkwardly: "So, do you have any work for me? I have a Kuiji chip, so I might be quite suitable for this."
As he said that, he still had some Sorry - this girl's arms are quite soft.
This was the first time in his life that David had physical contact with a girl.
The white-haired girl who survived the disaster looked at the clarity in David's stupid eyes and sighed again.
“Are you serious? The master of Arasaka Academy wants to do this?”
"I'm going to drop out of school soon and have to find a job." David raised his fingers as he spoke.
"Okay." The white-haired girl stood up from the ground after correcting her system, "I have nine and you have one - if we fight and you come to the rear, I will give you a little more.
Then - when are you going to get up from me?"
"Uh" David stood up quickly, "Sorry, when do we start?"
"Just now - act normal, don't be like a fool, I My name is Lucy, what about you?”
"David."
Looking at the silly David, a question appeared in Lucy's mind that Lear had also thought about:
This man is a man who has been sold and is still alive. A child who helps count money.
Not even a counteroffer.
