Time: 2077 A.D

Location: Night City - Watson District

The boisterous market in Watson is Kabuki Street, a mess of dirty alleys not far from the old medical centre, whose name speaks to its long neon roots.

Once a thriving and vibrant neighborhood, it is now the poorest area in the entire Night City outside of Taiping Prefecture.

During the day, the streets are filled with food stalls, shabby cosmetics stores, and cheap department stores.

At night, it's a haven for all kinds of illegal trade, the darkest bazaar imaginable.

Implants, human organs, antivenom drugs, prototype enhanced cyberprosthetics, steroid drugs, synthetic viruses, Mewtwo videos, as long as you can find the right place and person, you can buy it all.

It is alleged that there are several underground clinics operating in secret basements or secret rooms, helping those in need install illegal military and prototype cyber components.

Dr. Victor's clinic is one of them.

Victor Victor, the owner of the clinic, as the best prosthetic doctor in Kabuki Street and Watson District, has a little more ———— conscience than other prosthetic doctors.

"If you want a reliable prosthetic, go to Lao Wei!"

After a long time on the streets, you can always hear this phrase.

Compared with other prosthetic doctors, who are ethereal and always like to use large companies and big brands to bombard customers with fatigue, Lao Wei pays more attention to down-to-earth, uses the cheapest price to install the most suitable prosthetic for you, and even allows credit.

If you're not in a bad profile, he'll give you a beer to ease the tension before going under the knife.

Of course, it is not known whether it is adulterated with anesthetics.

All in all, Dr. Victor is a good guy who is not bad

"Lao Wei, you are such a good person! Usually pick up some cats and dogs, forget it, but today I actually picked up a live person back! ”

The person who spoke was a girl with a somewhat wild appearance.

In his twenties, he wears short brown and yellow hair like withered grass, heavy smoky makeup, a spiked collar and a mango necklace around his neck, a dark blue off-the-shoulder sweater on his upper body, and a short skirt with net stockings on his lower body.

She was crouching on the ground at this time, stretching out her fingers to poke the tall man in front of her who was not moving.

"Are you going to give up your promising career as a prosthetic doctor and become a scavenger and sell organs on the black market?"

"But then again, you have a good eye, and you pick up a handsome guy as soon as you pick it up."

"If you transform into a sex puppet and sell it to the Ritz Bar, it will definitely make more money than selling organs alone!"

Lao Wei, who was sitting at the table listening to the radio, turned around helplessly: "Okay, Misty, I admit that this time there is a bit of a flood of love, but you can't see death without help, let him continue to lie outside, he may really be caught by the group of kidney-cutting people." ”

(Kidney-cutting: Night City residents' disdainful term for scavengers)

Misty got up and walked over to the prosthetic doctor, leaning back against the edge of the table, "What are you going to do with it after that?" ”

"When he wakes up, he'll be coaxed away." Lao Wei lowered his voice on the radio: "Otherwise, raise him?" I can't even afford to raise myself. ”

Misty stared at the man lying in the corner of the clinic, "If you hadn't allowed those bastards to take credit, the best prosthetic doctor in Watson wouldn't have fallen to this point." ”

"Don't forget to have your boyfriend in the bastard." Lao Wei turned out the tool and adjusted his manipulator.

Misty grumbled unhappily, "Don't get involved with Jack, I'm just talking about things." ”

As she spoke, she couldn't help but come to the man's side: "Lao Wei, have you noticed that he is a little strange, he doesn't even have a prosthetic body on his body." ”

The prosthetic doctor did not raise his head: "There is nothing strange about it, it shows that he admires nature." ”

"Night City is not only home to street kids, mercenaries like Jack, but also ordinary people who are only targeted by gangsters if they are fitted with expensive prosthetics."

"Remember last year? David Martinez. ”

"But." Misty ruffled the man's hair: "He doesn't even have a brain-computer interface." ”

Lao Wei stopped what he was doing: "Okay, this is indeed a bit strange, no interface means that he was not forced to implant a chip when he was born, I can't imagine that he can actually survive in Night City and live to adulthood." ”

Misty fiddled with her sideburns and guessed, "Maybe I'm smuggled from some remote poor country, but this is the city of dreams, after all." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she gave a playful sneer.

In the city of night, dreams are the most expensive thing.

"Perhaps." Old Wei shrugged and continued to adjust his manipulator.

At that moment, Misty let out a sudden exclamation and got up and took a few steps back.

"What's wrong!" Lao Wei asked with concern.

"I see," said Misty, cautiously backing away, "I seem to have woken him up." ”

Victor immediately took out a revolver from a drawer: "Hide behind me!" ”

Although Lao Wei is a professional doctor, how can he do it if he can't do it in Night City.

Besides, what he's best at isn't marksmanship.

Under the nervous gaze of the two, the man in the corner slowly sat up, and then frowned.

"My back, hiss, hurts."

Leon rubbed his stiff old waist, he didn't know how long he had been lying on the cold concrete floor.

"Good morning, you two, may I ask where I am now?"

Since he didn't show aggression, Misty had the courage to shout, "It's afternoon, and you're on Kabuki Street in Watson." ”

"Wow." Leon let out an inexplicable exclamation and got up from the ground.

A series of actions made the two people opposite a little commotion.

Lao Wei pointed the muzzle of the gun at his head and opened the safe: "Now raise your hands and dare to make any small movements, I'm welcome!" ”

Leon raised his hands above his head in a proper manner, and cos the French army.

"My name is Leon, what about you?"

After speaking, he also put on a kind smile.

"Honestly, it's not time for you to ask questions yet." Lao Wei glanced at Misty behind him: "Go, search him." ”

In order to cooperate with the wild girl who is not tall, Li Ang also deliberately bent over.

After a few moments, Misty, who had searched his entire body, turned to the prosthetist and said, "There is nothing but clothes." ”

After hearing this, Lao Wei lowered his gun and lit a cigarette: "You are poorer than me." ”

In the state of his bare hands, he didn't feel that the man in front of him was a threat, and his heart relaxed.

"Find yourself a place to sit and tell me about your situation."

"By the way, my name is Victor, as you can see is a nominal doctor, you can call me Lao Wei."

Misty kindly stretched out her hand to Leon: "Misty, Misty Olshewsky, is a psychic, and my psychic house is right in front of it." ”

Good looks are easy to be treated, this is the truth that Leon has practiced through many worlds.

Briefly shook the psychic's hand: "Hello Misty, nice to meet you. ”

"And Dr. Lao Wei, it's also a pleasure to meet you."

The prosthetic doctor sat on his side on the table, gulping for a mist, his gun never put away.

"Lao Wei is fine, there is no need to add so many suffixes, and because of your trouble, I am not happy now."

Seeing that she was a little cold, Misty comforted Li Ang: "Don't take it to heart, he is a knife-mouthed tofu person, but he is actually very easy to get along with." ”

Of course, Li Ang would not take it to heart, after all, he did not ask Lao Wei for credit back then.

"First of all, thank you for saving me from the Vortex Gang, but in order not to cause you trouble, it is better for me to leave as soon as possible."

In a flash of light, he has made up a set of tragic life stories, ready to win sympathy.

Misty was the first to put on the set: "Wait, Vortex Gang? How could you have something to do with that group of cyber maniacs, weren't you picked up by Lao Wei? ”

Victor also said at this time: "Yes, I found you in a remote alley not far from the clinic, and I was going to buy goods at that time, and I didn't see any vortex gang on the way. ”

Leon was even more surprised than them: "How is it possible? ”

"Because of my body, the Vortex Gang has their eye on me and wants to use me to test a new military prosthetic."

"I distinctly remember that I was arrested in a gang stronghold two days ago."

"Then they forced me to take the next drug, and I didn't know anything."

A thoughtful look appeared on Lao Wei's face, as if he was recalling the scene when he met Li Ang.

Misty is very concerned about another point: "You don't have a brain-computer interface and a prosthetic, is it because of the body?" ”

Leon nodded with a wry smile: "I had a serious illness when I was a child, which caused my body to be unable to recognize any prosthesis, I explained it to the Vortex Gang, but they didn't believe it at all. ”

"Also." He pulled out a black light tentacle simulated line from the back of his head: "I actually have a brain-computer interface, although it's just a decoration. ”

Misty sighed with great sympathy: "Oh, you are so pathetic. ”

Lao Wei was much more rational than her, and when the two were talking, he had secretly found Li Ang's personal information on the Internet through his own channels.

[Leon Vladimir]

[Gender: Male]

[Age: 23 years old]

[Six years ago, his parents died in a gang conflict, unemployed, and have no criminal record]

The Prosthetic Doctor stared at the [No Criminal Record] entry, which was a rarity in Night City.

"Where do you live?"

Li Ang replied truthfully: "I don't have a place to live. ”

Misty tried to say something, but didn't say anything.

Lao Wei put the pistol back in the drawer and lit a cigarette: "No proper job, no fixed residence, when will you pay off the money you owe me in this situation." ”

“？？？” Li Ang scratched his head in bewilderment: "Do I owe money?" ”

Lao Wei showed his knife-mouthed tofu side: "Seeing that you are in good health, stay with me as an apprentice, work to pay off your debts, when will I pay you back the money I saved you, and you can leave." ”

"Finally, don't expect me to pay you!"

Leon's goal of finding a place to stay in Night City was achieved, though not in the way he had envisioned.

Misty applauded excitedly: "Welcome to the clinic, Leon!" ”

She actually wanted Li Ang to stay just now, but because it was Lao Wei who was in charge, and her psychic house didn't need so many people, she didn't say anything.

People at the bottom should help each other, not to mention such an honest boy as Li Ang.

As a result, the Victor Clinic, which is well-known in Kabuki Street, has an apprentice who is tall and quick from now on.

In the first few days after he came, Li Angan kept his own hands on Lao Wei, moved things, cleaned up and so on.

Because although he has the legal status of Night City, he does not understand the way of life here, and he has to adapt to it for a few days, otherwise it is easy to see the identity of a foreigner.

"Old Wei, it looks like there won't be any guests coming today, so. What to eat at noon. ”

This small clinic on the ground floor is small and easy to clean, and Leon spends most of his day idle.

Lao Wei was checking the list of prostheses in the store at this time, and said without raising his head: "It's only nine o'clock in the morning, and you have just finished breakfast less than two hours ago, and I have already begun to regret leaving you behind." ”

"Don't stick around here, if you really don't have anything to do, go to Misty and help."

Li Ang put down the mop in his hand: "As you wish, boss." ”

The psychic house is very close to the clinic, it is a doorway room facing the street, and you can go up the stairs when you go out.

The store is also small, and it is full of godly objects, such as statues, candles, incense, transport pendants, and an electric beckoning cat.

There are many more guests here in Misty than in Old Vena.

But before Leon arrived, this smart and sensual woman always found time to help her friends in times of need, in addition to acting as the front desk of the clinic, helping to attract customers, and occasionally making a cameo as a full-time nurse.

One of the two heals the body and the other repairs the soul, but they also complement each other.

"Hi, good morning." Leon greeted the psychic warmly.

"Good morning." Misty propped up the counter with one hand and turned to look at him: "Kicked out by Lao Wei again?" ”

Leon walked over and stood side by side with her: "Pay attention to the wording, my dear, I'm here to help, not to be kicked out." ”

Mistimo clutched the necklace on his chest: "Then it's unfortunate that you came, I don't have any guests here today." ”

"I've inquired about what you asked me to inquire about."

"Kambi Mansion is recruiting temporary night security guards recently, are you interested?"

Then, she turned a virtual screen to Li Ang: "No, you can see it for yourself." ”

[Requirements: 18-30 years old, no bad habits, no criminal record, legal residents of Night City]

Li Ang glanced at it quickly: "Isn't this tailor-made for me, where to submit my resume?" ”

Misty leaned leisurely against the counter: "I've already signed up for you, just wait for the news." ”

"By the way, why did you suddenly want to work part-time?"

Li Ang replied as a matter of course: "For the sake of money, Lao Wei won't pay me salary, of course I have to find a way to earn some living expenses, how can I feel the beauty of Night City without money." ”

Misty pouted noncommittally, "Indeed, Night City is only wonderful when there is money. ”

The two were talking and laughing, when a stout man suddenly walked across the street, knocked into several passers-by, and went straight to the psychic house.

The peculiar moon generation head, the open black jacket, the face is fierce, and the face is full of anger.

As soon as he stepped into the psychic house, he pulled out a gun and pointed it at Li Ang's head: "Hey, boy, don't you know that it is illegal to molest other people's girlfriends?" ”

"What law, you ask? Lao Tzu's Law! ”

"Now, immediately, get out and kowtow to Grandpa twice, and I might consider sparing your dog's life!"

In just two sentences, the generations are slowly rising.

At this time, another short-haired man quickly chased after him and quickly grabbed his companion.

"Calm down Jack, in broad daylight, do you want to bring in the NCPD?"

Only then did the big man put down the gun, but he refused to give up.

Reached directly into the counter, grabbed Leon by the collar, and tried to pull him out of it.

As a result, he used all his strength, but found that the other party did not move.

At the same time, Misty could no longer hold back her anger and yelled at her boyfriend, "Jack Wells, do you want to demolish my shop!! ”

Seeing that his girlfriend was angry, Jack instantly coaxed: "No, Misty, I. him."

The big man didn't know how to explain, so his companion had to help him speak: "Misty, who is this person, why haven't you seen it before?" ”

The psychic was still angry, and said coldly: "The apprentice recruited by Lao Weixin, he has no guests over there now, so he has come to help me temporarily." ”

Jack, who heard the answer, immediately lost his arrogance just now:

"You said earlier, didn't this big water wash away the Dragon King Temple?"

The short-inch companion chimed in: "Jack also cares about you. ”

Misty's expression finally softened.

Seeing this, the companion touched his brother's shoulder, and Jack immediately understood, and said to Leon with a smile: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood, buddy apologizes to you." ”

Li Ang looked at the pair of old acquaintances in front of him, and said in a calm tone: "Actually, it's me who should apologize, I'm really sorry that I didn't have a good sense of proportion and let you misunderstand." ”

After hearing this, Jack felt that the guy in front of him was very reasonable.

The impression of Li Ang immediately improved a lot.

"Since we are Lao Wei's apprentices, then we are our own people, and I recognize you as a friend."

"If you are bullied on the street in the future, you will report my name."

"Jack Wells!"

"Although he is unknown now, he will definitely become a legend of Night City in the future!"

Leon responded with a smile: "I know, Misty's boyfriend, I often hear Lao Wei mention you to her. ”

Then he turned to his partner beside Jack quite naturally.

"You're the famous V, aren't you?"

"You know me?" V, who is still a nobody, wondered.

Jack was a little unhappy, why his pronoun was Misty's boyfriend, and the good brothers became famous, and the two of them were obviously a team.

Misty saw her boyfriend's distress and reached out to touch his cheek: "You will always be my legend." ”

Seeing that the little couple was about to start the love and honey mode, V hurriedly explained his intention: "Is Lao Wei free?" I'd like to ask him for a favor. ”

"My buddy's brain looks like he's got a virus." Jack added.

Misty replied, "Of course, Dr. Victor is almost covered with cobwebs on his body now, you can just let Leon take you in." ”

Leon answered at the right time, "Please follow me, Mr. V." ”

"Just call me V." V followed him through the psychic hut.

Jack shouted from behind, "You guys go first, I'll have a few private conversations with Misty." ”

"Just wait for me outside." V had been to the clinic many times, and he didn't need to lead the way at all, so he touched the kitten at the top of the stairs as usual before walking towards the gate.

And Li Ang had already gone in first: "Boss, come out to pick up customers." ”
