Chapter 198: Scavenger
If [Beast Fury] is the same as [Sanwistan], and it will cause a burden on the body if it is used once, then it is estimated that it will only be used once.
This is not good news for the White Night. He didn't think that the advanced prosthetic that he had so hard to install could only be used once, and after using it, it would be close to madness, which was a good thing.
At this point, the game pops up a reminder again.
[During the activation of Beast Rage, your transformation level will not be increased.] However, the side effect is that after activating the use, you will consume a lot of stamina. At the end of the battle, you will be weakened and will not be able to fight again. 】
Bai Ye looked at such a reminder, and his heart was quite happy!
This kind of side effect, for [Beast Fury]'s super powerful ability, can be regarded as non-existent.
Your own performance in the battle is the most important thing, and as for the weak state after the battle, that is something to consider after the battle.
What's more, this doesn't have the pure side effects of [Snwestein]. After all, the side effects provided by [Sianweistan] are irreversible.
[Beast Fury] is worthy of a high-level prosthesis, and its abilities and side effects are all in line with Bai Ye's mind!
Bai Ye was so excited that he wanted to find a chance to use his new prosthesis.
[Dr. Victor reminds you, "Be careful. ”】
[You're still excited, and you haven't reacted to Dr. Victor's words: "What's wrong?] You asked. 】
[Dr. Victor was a little worried: "Such a high-level thing. Scavengers must be very important. If they lose this thing, they will definitely look for it by any means, and even set off a bloody storm throughout the city. ”】
["Once you let them know that you took it, it's troublesome."] That group of people didn't have a bottom line. It's all pure brutes and garbage. It's no surprise that they do anything to you. ”】
"You'd better be careful for the next while. The scavengers' mad dogs don't hesitate when they bite. ”】
Bai Ye listened to Dr. Victor's words, and his heart became vigilant.
Dr. Victor was right, he knew what the scavengers' brutes were. Suffice it to say, none of the gangs in Night City are good, but all the gangs don't add up to scavenger bastards.
It's better to keep a low profile and be careful. Especially don't be shot in the back. In the state of being attacked, he will not have any good fruit to eat.
He was more experienced in combat at this time, and he clearly knew that in the case of his first sneak attack, even if the cyber psychosis was several times stronger than himself, it was still not his opponent.
Because of this kind of thing, when the sneak attack itself is launched, the target will directly lose most of its combat effectiveness, or even die directly.
White Nights is no exception.
Thank you gratefully Dr. Victor for the reminder. He could have left it untified. 】
"Thank you, doctor, I'll be careful. "You said to Dr. Victor. 】
[Dr. Victor is an old man: "I myself have to be careful in the recent past. Maybe the scavengers will come to the prosthetic doctor when they can't find any clues, after all, if you want to get a prosthetic fit, you have to go through a prosthetic doctor. ”】
["Our group is also a transit station for underground prosthetics, and we are the most well-informed. ”】
["Speaking of which, you choose to install a prosthetic body on your body, which is indeed the most conservative and safest way to do it. Such a conspicuous prosthesis, if sold. There will be an uproar underground. The scavengers will soon be able to find the source of this thing, and you will be even more dangerous at that point. It's better to install it on your own body and improve your combat effectiveness a lot. ”】
Dr. Victor's words provide another perspective for the white night. He hadn't really thought about it before. Indeed, if this prosthetic body wants to be sold, it will inevitably receive the attention of the scavenger when it circulates in the underground market. They will definitely go back to the source and find out who actually did it.
At that time, both himself and Dr. Victor were miserable.
Of course, I'm not afraid of those bastards, but no one can stand this kind of trouble with constant harassment.
Bai Ye unintentionally chose the best route, which was also the safest way.
This is also an aspect that he did not take into account before.
Dr. Victor is worthy of being an old man, and his grasp of the underground market and people's hearts is quite accurate.
[You look at Dr. Victor with some concern: "If a scavenger dares to come to you for trouble, I will definitely help you.] ”】
[Dr. Victor smiles: "Thank you! But don't worry too much. Scavengers those dog things, of course, do things by any means. But they also know that prosthetic doctors like us should not be provoked if we are idle. ”】
["It's good that you don't worry."] I'll be sure to look for you for anything. Dr. Victor laughed and said, "I haven't lived long enough." He will not die. ”】
[You thank Dr. Victor again and leave the underground clinic.] 】
Next, you come to Wilson's weapons shop. 】
[Wilson is used to seeing you coming, and knows that you are here to sell weapons. "Again? Your supply is really abundant, much better than a simple business like me. Wilson joked. 】
["How do you think you seem to be quite happy today? What's going on? Wilson asked. A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance. That's what you're in at this point. 】
["Today's mission went quite smoothly, and the reward was quite good. Another perfect day. You said to Wilson with a smile. Of course, he is a good brother to be trusted, but the things about the prosthetic body must never be told to him. That didn't do him any good, and it might even hurt him. 】
[Wilson is familiar with the road, and will help you estimate the price of the weapons that appear in this mission.]
"To be honest, the weapons weren't good this time. There are no standard weapons of large companies, they are all whiteboard things. There are even self-made modified weapons, which have made these bad guys even less valuable. Wilson said critically. 】
["It's okay, you can estimate it."] I received the payment anyway, and these things are just icing on the cake. You say. 】
[Wilson eventually gave you fifteen hundred dollars and accepted the weapons.] 】
In the following time, Bai Ye carefully checked the information related to the scavenger.
These scavengers, it is foreseeable that in the near future they will become one of their most important opponents.
Just like the Tiger Claw Gang before, there will be a lot of friction between himself and them. Until then, familiarize yourself with and understand the scavenger's style of doing things to avoid being unprepared in real battles.
The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible.
He dialed the number of the intermediary.
[You call Regina Jones and ask about the scavenger.] 】
"Scavenger? Regina Jones wondered, "What do you want from these crazy people?" ”】
"It's a little contradictory. I feel like I'm going to fight with them soon. You explained. 】
[Regina Jones wasted no time and quickly sent you a piece of information.] "This is the general information of the scavengers in my possession, which is the basic composition of their gang. You don't need money for this information, and if you get rid of any scavenger, it will be a purification of the city. Be careful yourself, V. ”】
Regina Jones is a really good person.
White Night carefully looked at this kind of information about scavengers.
[Scavenger estimated gang size: unknown (insufficient data)
Important Member: Unknown
Faction Location: Unknown
Scope of business: Covers almost every part of the city, although the most common range of activities is concentrated in the northern part of Taiping State and the southern part of Weill Springs. Suspect their lair, in one of these two locations.
Commonly used cyber components: Pain Editor, Health Detector, Reaction Enhancer, Cyber Optics. 】
Seeing these overviews, Bai Ye's heart sank.
Don't look at these scavengers, who don't seem to be very strong. Even intermediaries like Regina Jones are not sure how big they really are and who the important members are. It is not easy to prove that these people are indeed not simple.
Maybe it's because they're different from the normal gang, or maybe it's because they're capable enough. Anyway, this group of people is quite mysterious.
Bai Ye thought that if these people could obtain an A-level prosthetic like [Beast Fury], they would be able to prove a certain strength in themselves.
It doesn't matter if it's bought, or if it's obtained from someone else. It proves that there is a certain guarantee of their financial resources and combat effectiveness.
Bai Ye's heart became more vigilant, and he continued to look at the description.
[There are a lot of scum in Night City, but the scavenger is the least scumbag of all. They are inhumane and despicable. The most common thing to do is to hunt unprepared citizens and gang members who accidentally step into a trap. They will do everything they can to collect all kinds of cyberprosthetics and components and exchange them for money. 】
[Perhaps because of what they do, these lunatics are one of the richest gangs in Night City.] They will attack any possible victim without mercy. Don't care about human life at all. What is human to them? It's just a bunch of things that you can go to the black market for money. 】
[Scavengers are different from other gangs. Other gangs have their own ideas when they are formed. For example, some gangs believe that hackers are the future of Cyber City, and some gangs believe that fighting with their own bodies is the best behavior without any modification. Scavengers are different, they don't have any ideas. As long as you have money and you are alive, that's fine. 】
[The methods of the scavengers can be said to be not advanced at all, and many other gangs disdain to do it, and they will do the dirty work. But that's what makes them happen: these people basically have a monopoly on the black market for cyberprosthetics and organs. In Night City, there are always people who don't like to get their hands dirty and choose to buy their products. When they are spurned, they are also secretly welcomed by some scumbags. 】
[Scavengers are what we call an organization, but they don't have a strict organizational structure. It can even be said that it is extremely loose, as if there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates. We still don't know who founded this inhumane organization. I don't know how the people who joined did it. 】
[In every corner of the city, there are these beasts. Even the wealthy areas and the exclusive areas of large corporations are no exception. Sometimes the special, seemingly meaningless markings you see on the wall are the codes they are in contact with. 】
[The scavengers will have small gangs that are unorganized, and no one will listen to anyone. When trading with them, you can see that there is quite a lot of confusion between them. But don't take these bastards lightly, they can do anything for the sake of profit. 】
[Anyone who robs them of their business, or makes them suffer losses, the scavenger will use all his means to ensure that such a thing never happens again. 】
[People that scavengers often deal with: various gangs, mercenaries, underground black market doctors, homeless people. In addition to these, as long as there is work that can make money, they will do it. So don't take it lightly at any time, it's possible that a person next to you who looks ordinary is actually a member of the scavengers. He will use various ways to secretly attack you. 】
After reading Regina Jones's information, Bai Ye felt unhappy for a while.
These scavengers are so despicable that they can't even be called human.
You'll have to be a little more careful. This group of scumbags, while having a wide range of business, also proves that they will be very well-informed. It shouldn't take too long to find out about yourself.
Especially when doing tasks, you must be mentally prepared. Avoid being attacked by this group of scumbags.
At this time in the white night, there is one more important thing to do.
It's a place to experiment with your new prosthesis.
I haven't used this good thing until now. I don't know what the effect will be when I actually use it.
But there is still a certain danger in this thing. If you use it yourself, you will fall into a weak state.
In Night City, using this prosthetic body when it doesn't matter is simply looking for death. Because I don't know when some risk factors will emerge.
Not to mention the presence of scavengers and the like. If the white night is to fall into their hands under weak conditions, it is really impossible to eat and walk around.
If you want to experiment, it's best to be in the real world.
In any case, compared to the complete lawlessness, Hongcheng is still a lot safer.
White Night wondered, where can I conduct the experiment?
Firm? Although the place is safe and trustworthy, he looks like an elderly person in the company. Maintaining that identity and physical state, it is impossible for you to feel how fierce the prosthetic body is.
Where else can you go?
Suddenly, White Night thought of a place.
The Black Bloods!
The people of the Black Blood Gang, Qiao Wei and them, all know their combat effectiveness.
