Chapter 184 Return to the City
[Cross-Dimensional Material Transfer]
[Technology Points-500]
[Current Technology Points: 1700]
Passed After one night's hard work, Lear pulled out a large amount of biological materials that needed to be reversed from the scrap pile, and also transferred documents such as the structural design drawings of the centaur mecha to Marvel's server.
After this time, the cyberpunk world itself also has a huge manpower to be utilized, and it needs to speed up time to build a production line suitable for manpower.
Nothing can be changed by simply robbing and smashing.
With dark circles under his eyes, Lille sprinkled some water on his head, and he could even see the steaming heat.
It's time to return to Night City.
The same red and black striped Mackinaw was parked by the camp, waiting to return.
V seemed a little uninterested.
“Hey, Mackinac.”
Liel was surprised: “What do you think of Mackinac? It’s cheap and durable. I didn’t expect Xiu Xiu to be able to drive it. .”
"Hey, I can't tell you clearly. Don't forget that you owe me 1.7 million now. By the way, is it time to settle the bill?"
"Don't worry, I'll pay the mercenary money first. It’s over.”
Leal took a step across, heading toward Mann.
"Mom, I know, I'll be right back. It's really nothing, I just made a little money with my friends
The boss is here to pay my salary, I have to hang up."
David hung up the phone - all the signal equipment in the Badlands had been removed at this time, and although the phone signal was still not very good, it was at least safe.
As expected, just after the communication was restored, his mother called him and asked him why he stayed up all night.
Mann patted him on the shoulder: "And mom? It's a bit strange."
Everyone nodded.
David smiled awkwardly: I didn’t expect him to be so out of place here.
What Mann originally wanted to say: If you want to be a big shot, you can't be restricted by your mother.
But then I thought about it, what’s wrong with having a mother?
On the contrary, they saw another beast that betrayed their relatives this time.
So he quickly changed his mind, but he didn't know what to say, so he said dryly: "It's good to have a mother, it's good to have a mother."
David was even more embarrassed.
Lille walked over like a contractor and looked at this mercenary team that Santo Domingo was famous for.
Mann, his hand was broken again; David, both hands were broken; Qiwei, her prosthetic jaw was smashed crooked; Dorio, with a large bandage on her body, was shot.
Pyrrha, Rebekah, and Lucy didn't seem to have any injuries - but if they were to be examined, there must be internal injuries caused by shock waves or blunt blows.
Everyone in this group has failed, and they don’t know how long it will take after receiving the reward.
Lille looked at them and said:
"So you are considered a gang now? Then I will pay you together."
No one had any objections.
It seems that David is planning to hang out with Mann - that's right, after experiencing the madness at night, he should have a deeper understanding of the so-called "hard work".
Mercenaries like Mann are rare anymore, and they were still wiped out in the battle with the Night Walkers.
As for him, the overestimating pride that had just risen in his head was immediately shattered by Bowen.
It’s not that he messed with Burger King, he was a mercenary at that level. With the addition of Mann, David gradually gained a clear understanding of himself.
[Transfer: -120,000 Euros]
[Account balance: 126,682 euros]
“You did a good job this time, I gave you a little extra tip.”
Everyone clicked their tongues.
This is no small tip.
Lille's idea was also very simple. This conflict was indeed beyond his expectation. Mann's team was also very strong and shared a lot of pressure on the frontal battlefield.
If you perform well and have a good attitude, you will get more money. He is not the kind of stingy brother who holds on to money.
On the contrary, he is actually happy to support some young people who look pleasing to the eye - he is used to it.
"Working for you is really dangerous and addictive." Mann said with emotion as he divided the money.
“Go back and replace your arm with a better one - but I took a look at your prosthetic system and it is best to replace the thymus electronic control device and bone marrow microdialysis device before replacing the arm prosthesis.
The structures of the gorilla arm and the projectile system built into the arm are very simple, and the increase in combat power is very intuitive.
But I guess your body has become tattered due to random and blind prosthetic implantation, right? "
Mann clicked his tongue, and everyone looked at him.
He just lowered his head, not knowing what to say.
In fact, as early as the subway battle Before that, his body had been experiencing frequent tremors and prosthetic system disorders.
Multiple injuries, leakage of prosthetic circulating fluid, and frequent prosthetic replacements would worsen his physical condition.
Lear added: "I have recommended some helpful entry-level implantable adjustment prostheses to you. They are all expensive, but if you don't want to become a cybermaniac, you'd better take some time to pay attention."
The scene of Bowen torturing Cedric suddenly flashed through David's mind sitting aside.
Thinking again of the grievances between them and connecting them to himself, he blurted out the questions in his heart:
".But if we don't have these powerful prosthetics, how can we fight? How can we fight?"
How to maintain your dignity, protect the people you want to protect, and realize the life of your dreams?
Leal sighed and found the group looking at him.
This is Night City, or the most naked reality of this world.
Wealth and power can be embodied through prosthetics and high-tech equipment, and are presented to people in the most direct way.
When you get to the bottom, what people see is: better prosthetics, stronger strength, faster speed, and more violent ways to force others to listen to them.
But in fact, there are too many channels through which power can be embodied, and prosthetic transformation is only one of the ways that is easier for people to perceive, and it is a way with great side effects.
"I didn't say I won't let you install prosthetics, I just use your brains. You are human beings, not machines that can be easily dismantled.
The less you understand the technology in your hands, the easier it is for you to be fooled by colorful things. Technology products are blinding and addicted to all kinds of desires.
Every day in Night City, people take drugs and die, playing with airplane cups on the street until they are exhausted. Don’t you think you are pretending. Is there no difference between being addicted to prosthetics and this kind of person?" Mann blurted out: "How is it the same?"
Liel shrugged: "Actually, it's almost the same." br>
Some truths are difficult for the parties involved to recognize.
When it was a peaceful time in my last life, mobile phones, which are not considered high-tech now, were enough to capture the attention of a large number of people, making them no longer interested in studying hard.
The impact of prosthetics is much greater than that of mobile phones, and it is normal to become addicted.
In addition to prosthetics, there are also a variety of cheap addictive drugs, and holographic airplane cups that can be used by Mewtwo for just a few dozen euros. The feeling is no different from the real thing. There are also all kinds of sex dolls
The thrills from cheap to expensive, as well as the directly available violent equipment, are all tempting temptations.
However, people who are addicted to all kinds of airplane cups and sex dolls lie to their sweetheart that it is a warm nest. How can their sweetheart not lie to him that he has already been loved?
The same is true for the modification of combat prosthetics. The pain caused by the modification makes people think that they are paying, while the combat power brought by the prosthetics makes people think that everything is under control.
But among the big shots in this world, there are almost none who cannot be called half-hearted reformers.
David, the only student present who had read a book, nodded thoughtfully - it seems that he must study the relevant knowledge carefully after returning, and then decide what to do with his two arms.
However, it seems that the black-haired man is too lazy to study hard and is too late to study, and Bai Shoufang regrets studying too late: after all, he just dropped out of Arasaka Academy not long ago.
Lear waved his hand: "Okay, go back first, but I still suggest you listen to me and adjust the circulatory system first, and then consider other combat prosthetics."
A group of people squeezed in When I arrived at Columbus Freight - it could barely be driven after some repairs.
Dorio approached Mann and said: "You seem to have never told me about the prosthetic body."
Mann was silent for a moment: ".I thought I could control it. Stay.”
“Consider Burger King’s proposal when you go back.”
"Well - Mackinac is so handsome. Why don't you buy a Mackinac first when you go back?"
Dorio hit Mann on the head with a headbutt: "I told you to deal with your justice first. Body system!"
In the back seat, Lucy looked at David and sighed: "In this case, you have to spend money on the prosthetic body again. Is it worth it?"
< br>"Of course it's worth it." David's attitude was much firmer this time, "Lucy, you asked me before what my dream was, but I couldn't tell you.
Now I'm starting to understand something. .”
".Understand what? Change to a more powerful prosthetic body?"
"I still can't tell, but I feel that I am closer to that dream now than when I was at Arasaka Academy. One day you will see it. ”
“What did you see?”< br>
“See your dreams come true.” David said seriously, “Then I might know what my dreams are.
Maybe I don’t have a dream now, but I You can watch your dreams come true first.”
"You're so stupid."
The broken van trembled, pulling two cars of tattered dream chasers, and drove towards the city of dream chasers.
Transfer: -116,682 euros
Account balance: 10,000 euros.
Personal debt: owe V1.66 million.
Nearly 120,000 were divided into three parts. Jack received more than 30,000, V received 80,000, and Lille continued to be in debt.
Lil was heartbroken, and V nodded with satisfaction.
"Then what? When will we go back? What are we going back for? Isn't it about making a lot of money? Where is my big money?"
". The stolen arms are still on the way to be sold. It is expected to be completed in a week, and it will be around 250,000 to 60,000 yuan.”
“That’s it?”
"Let me think about it again. Those night wanderers basically have bounties on their heads. In total, the NCPD still owes us more than 80,000 yuan. The last batch of neurosustaining agents and vaccines have been disposed of. The money will arrive tomorrow. Add to It’s 660,000 euros together”
“Wait a minute, why is it only 660,000? The last time I sold it, it was 700,000 euros!”
“I told you that there was a loophole! You’re really not greedy!”
“I don’t believe it, let my sister plug in your system interface”
“Go away!”
Dog Town.
An old man in a red suit was talking on the phone at Shizuoqing Nightclub.
His hair is neatly tied back, and the hair on the top of his head is all white. He has a long beard on his chin and a dressy goatee on his upper lip.
“The mercenaries I hired overfulfilled their mission, and the border wall was smashed. Are you satisfied now?”
“Haha, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a big impact on military technology. It’s really good. I heard that network monitoring activities are becoming more and more frequent.”
"Yes, it seems that new hackers are coming in every day in Taiping Prefecture. The situation is very complicated. But for now, the main target is not Dog Town. You can rest assured."
"With information on this, the price Easy to talk about.”
“Understood.”
The phone hung up, and Hanz sat in his chair silently, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Network Monitoring. Hansen, what on earth are you doing?"
Mr. Hands pinched his eyebrows, wishing that those three people were in Dog Town.
But Hansen will certainly not allow them to come in.
Let’s think about network supervision.
Mr. Hands began to transfer files from the memory: Although he can't leave Dog Town now, he can't put powerful guys in either.
But the commissions that should be issued still have to be issued, and you have to be well prepared.
Maybe the opportunity will come?
Important notice!
I have to go back to my hometown to see the old man tomorrow and come back in the evening, so the update may be postponed to the evening
