Chapter 184 Return to the city

[Cross-dimensional material transmission]

【Technology Point-500】

[Current science and technology points: 1700]

After a night of 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 Mackinac was parked by the camp, waiting to return.

V seemed a little uninterested.

"Hey, Mackinaw."

Lear was surprised: "What do you think about Mackinac? It's cheap and durable. I didn't expect Xiuxiu to be really good at driving 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 mercenaries first."

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 wages, and I have to hang up. "

David hung up the phone - all the signal equipment in the Badlands had been removed at this time. Although the phone signal was still not very good, it was at least safe.

As expected, as soon as communication was restored, his mother called and asked him why he stayed up all night.

Mann patted him on the shoulder: "And mom? It's a bit rare."

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 man, 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 large bandages 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 distribute the money 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 got involved 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 seem to be 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. Before replacing the arm prosthesis, it's best to replace it with a thymus electronic control device and a bone marrow microdialysis device.

The structure 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, even before the subway battle, his body often experienced tremors and prosthetic system disorders.

Multiple injuries, leakage of prosthetic circulating fluid, and frequent replacement of prostheses will worsen the 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 as he sat aside.

Thinking about the grudge between them and connecting it to himself, he blurted out the questions in his mind:

"But if we don't have these powerful prosthetics, how can we fight? How can we fight?"

How do you 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.

At 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. 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 at hand, the easier it is to be dazzled by the colorful technological products and indulge in all kinds of desires.

In Night City, people take drugs and die every day. They play with a plane cup on the street until they are exhausted. Don’t you think that pretending to be addicted to prosthetics is no different from this kind of person? "

Mann blurted out: "How is this the same?"

Leal shrugged: "Actually, almost the same."

Some truths are difficult for the parties involved to recognize.

In a previous life, when it was still a peaceful time, 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 a few dozen euros. It feels no different from the real thing. There are also various kinds on the street. sex partner

Thrills ranging from cheap to expensive, as well as the availability of violent equipment, are alluring temptations.

However, people who are addicted to all kinds of airplane cups and sex dolls lie to their sweethearts that it is a warm nest. How can their sweethearts not lie to him that he has already been loved?

The same goes 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 can't be called half-hearted reformers.

David, the only student present who had read a book, nodded thoughtfully - it seemed that he had to study the relevant knowledge carefully after returning, and then decide what to do with his two arms.

However, he has a bit of a black-haired character who is too lazy to study hard and is too late to study: after all, he has just dropped out of Arasaka Academy.

Lear waved his hand: "Okay, let's go back first, but I still suggest that you listen to me and adjust the circulation system first, and then consider other combat prosthetics."

A group of people piled into the Columbus freight that had arrived - it could barely be driven after 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."

“Let’s consider Burger King’s proposal when we get 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 prosthetic system first!"

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?"

"Of course it's worth it." David's attitude was much firmer this time, "Lucy, you asked me before what my dream is, but I can'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 like I'm closer to that dream now than when I was at Arasaka Academy. You'll see it one day."

"what did you see?"

"See your dreams come true," David said seriously, "and then I might know what my dreams are.

Maybe I don’t have a dream now, but I can watch your dream come true first. "

"You are dumb."

The shabby van trembled, pulling two cars of tattered dreamers, and drove towards the city of dreams.

Transfer: -116,682 euros

Account balance: 10,000 euros.

Personal debt: owes 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.

Lear 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. They are expected to be disposed of in a week, and will probably fetch 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 Together it’s 660,000 euros”

"Wait a minute, why is it only 660,000? The last time I sold it, it was 700,000!"

"I told you that I exploited a loophole last time! I'm really not greedy!"

"I don't believe it, let my sister plug in your system interface"

"Get out of here!"

Dog Town.

In the Jewel Green Nightclub, an old man in a red suit was talking on the phone.

His hair was neatly tied back, and the top of his head was all white, with 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 military technology suffer such a big decline. 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, and the situation is very complicated. But for now, the main target is not Dog Town, so you can rest assured."

"If we have information about this, the price can be easily negotiated."

"Understood."

After hanging up the phone, Hands sat silently in his chair, maintaining the same posture, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Network Supervision. Hansen, what on earth are you doing?"

Mr. Hands pinched his eyebrows, wishing that those three people were in Dog Town.

But Hansen certainly wouldn't let them in.

Let’s think about the Internet surveillance.

Mr. Hands began to call up the files from his memory: although he could not leave Dog Town now, nor could he put powerful guys in.

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 elderly tomorrow and come back in the evening, so the update may be postponed to the evening.
