Chapter 203: New Skills

White Night continues to watch the game develop.

[You find a transcript of a conversation between two homeless people in the neighborhood.] 】

[The names of the two homeless men are unknown, so let's refer to them as A and B for the time being.] 】

[A: Hey! Look! I found a girl!

B: Congratulations buddy, everyone needs a little love and happiness.

A: No, not the kind you say.

B: Which one?

A: She must have been thrown into the sewers and looked like a hacker. They probably thought she was dead.

B: Dude, are you looking for death? Don't touch her, it won't end well if you don't care about this kind of nosy.

A: Come on, what you say is superstitious. Anyway, I'm going to get her some medicine, can you get some for me? I see she's running out of breath and needs help.

B: You should have taken her straight to the prosthetic doctor.

A: No, I'll go by myself. Who knows who wants to kill her? 】

This is the end of the conversation.

Obviously, the hacker met a good Samaritan at the most dangerous time. A warm-hearted homeless man took her in. Although the homeless man himself had a very miserable life, he still managed to save the life of the young hacker.

His companions persuaded him not to meddle in his affairs, but the homeless man still chose to heal and save people.

No one could have imagined that such kindness would not be rewarded.

When the hacker woke up, he was already crazy. Became a complete cyber psychopath, and couldn't tell whether the people around him were kind or malicious? She forgot about what she had run out of, and used her skills to attack the people around her indiscriminately.

In the City of Night, there are also good hearts and good deeds. It's a pity that under the mistakes, the ending is embarrassing.

Bai Ye sighed. This homeless man is such a good person, it's a pity.

Next, the white night is still searching here.

[You found the call logs of this cyberpsychotic with others before the onset of the disease.] 】

[Hacker: Hey, Tony, could you please send me something more?] I fell asleep in the bathtub yesterday and must have frozen my fingers. I don't feel it at all now. I've searched all the places in Valentino, but there's no trace of him. It's as if these people have disappeared in the digital space, leaving no trace. 】

Bai Ye had a speculation in his heart. It seems that before the accident, this hacker was working as a mercenary, helping people do some mercenary tasks in cyberspace.

She apparently didn't have much money.

White Night knows that the rich hackers in Night City will wear high-end hacker costumes when they work. This kind of clothing dissipates heat and performs very well.

When hackers invade cyberspace, they emit a lot of heat all over their bodies to calculate heat dissipation. If the heat is not dissipated enough, there is a high risk that the brain will burn out and die.

And the poorer hackers, who don't have the money to buy high-end uniforms, have to use another method: fill the bathtub with ice. Then the whole person lies in to dissipate heat.

This method is uncomfortable, but it is a stopgap measure.

The hacker was apparently the typical poor man, so tired after doing his task in the bathtub that he fell asleep unconsciously.

[Tony: Nothing?] Do you want to go to the clubhouse again? But their hopes are difficult to break, or wait, he will come back when he is homesick, maybe he just needs a little space, don't say I didn't warn you, the people of Valentino are this virtue, today they say that they love you forever, tomorrow the world will evaporate, and the light will leave you with a few stinky socks. 】

[Hacker: Less, I told you about this set earlier. You don't even know him, why do you think he's the same as everyone else, and ah, his socks are all washed by himself...... Listen, my finger is like an amputation, it's no different, can you help me find an organic implant?

Tony: Okay, you relax. Take a break first, I'll help you find something. Promise me, go to bed. 】

Seeing the dialogue behind, Bai Ye realized that he had guessed wrong just now.

The reason hackers do these things is not to help other people do some task. Looking for your boyfriend instead??

For some reason, the hacker's boyfriend suddenly disappeared as if he had disappeared from the world. Strangely enough, the hacker looks for his boyfriend on his own.

The hacker's friend who spoke to her was also very good-natured, not only helping her, helping her with ideas, but also finding ways to meet her requests.

It's a pity that the hackers didn't wait for their friends to come over.

It can be said that this hacker is lucky enough. My friend was sincere to him, and when he had an accident, he met a kind-hearted homeless man and saved her life.

If you are unlucky, you will have long been a part in the garbage dump.

At this point, the whole thing is considered to be investigated.

[You sent Regina Jones your own investigation and speculation.] 】

[It's a young hacker who went crazy.] She should have used some kind of medicine, she didn't grasp the measurement, and ran out with her last strength when she finally woke up, worried that she was alone at home and no one would know. A homeless man in the camp took her in, but she woke up insane. I guess she thought she had been kidnapped by them? Who knows, maybe she doesn't have any thoughts in her head at all, just a buzzing sound. Either way, she's already waiting for your mysterious "treatment". 】

Closing the chat interface, White Night begins to count the gains of this mission.

He just seemed to see something ok for the plugin. I don't know what the overall harvest will be.

Bai Ye didn't look forward to it too much. He knew that the whole thing was happening in a homeless camp, and it was basically impossible to get anything good here.

They have all become vagabonds, do they expect to find gold in their camps?

You begin to take stock of today's harvest. 】

[The first thing that will make you notice is a hacking skill chip.] 】

[B-level hacking chip: fast cracking. Speed up your hacking chips. 】

Bai Ye was directly stunned.

Do you want your luck to be so good!

It's been a blast of luck these days! Last time, I directly got an A-level prosthetic, and this time it's a B-level skill chip!

Such a level of good things, put it before, I didn't dare to think about it at all.

Who would have thought that such a good thing would be in their own hands at this time?

Bai Ye carefully looked at the skill chip. This chip is different from a prosthetic body, not the kind that fits into the body. is a type of learning chip.

Through the interface, the content in the chip is learned. After studying, you will be able to master the knowledge and skills in it.

In the night city cyber era, there is no need to learn. The mastery of any knowledge is basically mastered through this skill chip.

So last time, when White Night said that there was a school outside the city, it would surprise Wilson so much.

The method of learning is also very simple. As long as you connect this new skill chip to your own socket and read the contents in it, you can make Bai Ye's own chip have the ability to "crack quickly".

Bai Ye's heart was excited.

His own [Network Access Warehouse, Network Monitoring Network Drive Type II] itself has a skill bar, and he has no strengthening skills for it for such a long time. Well, the hacker chip has a new skill.

Of course, White Night didn't use the skill chip directly like this.

[You open the data perspective and carefully observe whether there are viruses and other things in this technology chip.] Whether it is dangerous or not. 】

[After a thorough and careful inspection, you can find that there is no problem with this skill chip at all.] It can be used for learning. 】

Do you use chips? Yes / No]

Bai Ye did not hesitate to choose yes directly. This skill chip allows you to directly learn the ability to crack quickly. Increase his combat effectiveness.

It's impossible to miss such an opportunity.

You choose to use the Skill Chip. Once the skill chip is connected, the data transfer begins shortly after. Half a minute later, the content of the skill chip is learned. 】

[Your Hacker Chip: Network Access Warehouse, Network Monitoring Network Drive Type 2 Capability Update.] New: "Quick Crack": Dramatically speed up the hacking of your target. Rapid intrusion use. 】

['Network Access Warehouse, Network Monitoring Network Drive Type II' (D-level), base RAM: 3, buffer size: 5, allows you to quickly crack targets and devices.] Quick crack deals 10% more damage. The spread distance of a quick crack is increased by 15%.

New Skill: Quick Crack (B-Rank)]

After learning the skills in the chip, the chip also became a blank.

Bai Ye knows that this is a common feature of advanced skill chips: it can only be used once, and after using it, it will automatically erase the content on it and become a blank chip.

A large number of high-end chips in Night City are like this. These chips are often more expensive, and the knowledge and content recorded are not something that ordinary people can learn. This is done in order to monopolize the knowledge above. Avoid re-use.

Bai Ye originally thought that if he used it himself, the content on it would still be there, so he would sell this chip. Unfortunately, this has become a blank chip at this point.

It's worth the price of a blank chip.

White Night easily passed the chip into his inventory.

Continue to look at the rest of your gains.

[A lightweight tungsten steel Mewtwo headband.] 】

This thing is for Mewtwo. It doesn't look like any different from any other Mewtwo headband.

Bai Ye didn't know what the difference was between these things, after all, although he had used Mewtwo a few times, he had used them from other people, and he hadn't bought them himself.

He thought about it, and he knew a Mewtwo editor, Judy. She should be able to know how much it is worth.

[Red alert, anti-power surge, black customer service.] 】

This is a hacker-only outfit that will only be used when entering cyberspace. Bai Ye can't use it himself, this is definitely going to be sold.

For the rest, there's nothing new. There were only a few humble whiteboard pistols, which were estimated to be worth hundreds of dollars combined.

Of course, the most important takeaway from White Night today is not the technology chip, but something else.

Fully automatic turret!

Although this hacker doesn't have much money, he still does a very good job in terms of security. When you go out and run, you don't forget to bring a fully automatic turret.

This is a good thing, as long as it is installed on a flat surface, it can be automatically adsorbed and fixed.

When the enemy is not detected in peacetime, it is very inconspicuous. It's a black disc-like thing. If Bai Ye didn't have a hacker chip, he wouldn't even notice this thing with the naked eye, but it was actually hidden under the bridge.

First of all, the concealment is very good.

When the turret detects an enemy, it ejects the internal device: a lightweight machine gun turret! It transforms into a light machine gun nearly a meter long with a capacity of several thousand rounds to inflict attacks and suppress enemies with precision.

In battle, it is equivalent to an extra teammate, and the output is at full strength. The power is considerable.

This is the biggest takeaway of White Nights today.

It can help you with reconnaissance, and it can also help you attack enemies. Especially when there are more enemies, the role of helpers is even more obvious.

White Night received the fully automatic turret in his inventory and left the place satisfied.

The rest is up to Regina Jones.

Coming to Wilson's weapons shop and selling worthless guns and the like, White Night didn't immediately go to Judy's.

Judy has been taking care of Evelyn lately, and she doesn't know what happened to Evelyn. But Bai Ye knows one thing, Judy is a very strong person, very independent, and very stubborn. It is easy not to accept help from others.

And if she visits rashly, Judy is not necessarily at home.

It's better to wait for Evelyn to return to normal. Avoid extraneous branches.

Bai Ye was thinking about it when he suddenly received a message from Regina Jones.

["V, I'm Regina Jones. Just now, when my people went to receive cyber psychosis, they were attacked by scavengers. They didn't know what was going on, and suddenly a small group came out and took my men away. In a hurry, I only received such a message, can you help me? The price is negotiable, and I won't let you sell it for nothing. ”】

Regina Jones's news took Bai Ye by surprise.

Will the middleman's men also be attacked? Or a scavenger!

However, he reacted immediately.

These scavengers, I'm afraid, are coming for themselves!

To be precise, it's the "beast rage" on your body!

The last time I solved the cyber psychotic incident, I got this very precious prosthetic, which greatly improved my combat effectiveness.

And this thing, there is no doubt that it originally belonged to the scavenger. However, at that time, all the scavengers were solved by cyber psychosis. Good things are cheap White Nights.

It is estimated that the accomplices of the scavenger, after knowing about this incident, went to the scene to look for clues. He had already left at that time, and the only ones who could leave clues were Regina Jones' men. Her subordinates are in charge of finishing up and bringing cyberpsychotics back for treatment.

It must be in this kind of link that they are being targeted by this group of scavengers!
