Chapter 184: Back to the city
【Interdimensional Matter Transport】
[Tech Points-500]
[Current Technology Points: 1700]
After a night of hard work, Lille deducted a large amount of biomaterial from the scrap heap that needed to be reversed, and sent files such as the structural blueprints of the centaur mech to the Marvel server.
After this time, the cyberpunk world itself has a huge amount of manpower to be used, and it needs to hurry up to get a production line suitable for manpower.
Pure robbery and smashing can't change anything.
With dark circles under his eyes, Lille sprinkled a little water on his skull, and even could see the steaming heat.
It's time to head back to Night City.
It was still the same red-and-black striped Mackinaw, parked at the edge of the camp, waiting to return.
V seemed a little lacking in interest.
"Hey, Mackinac."
Rille was surprised: "What do you think of Mackino?" It's cheap and durable, I didn't expect it to be able to be opened. ”
"Hey, it's not clear to people like you, don't forget to owe me 1.7 million now, by the way, isn't it time to settle the bill?"
"Don't worry, I'll settle the mercenary's money first."
Lille took a step over to Mann's side.
"Mom, I know, I'll be back right away, it's really nothing, it's just that I made a little money with my friends
The boss has come to pay the salary, and I have to hang up. ”
David hung up the phone - the signal equipment in the Badlands had been withdrawn by this time, and although the telephone signal was still not very good, it was at least safe.
As expected, as soon as communication was restored, his mother called him to ask why he didn't return home at night.
Mann patted him on the shoulder, "And Mommy?" It's a bit rare. ”
Everyone nodded.
David smiled embarrassedly: I didn't expect him to be so out of place here with his mother.
Mann wanted to say something: you can't be limited by your mother to be a big man.
But on second thought, what's so bad about having a mother?
It's the brutes who betrayed their relatives, and they saw another one this time.
So he quickly changed his words, 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, surveying the squad of mercenaries that Saint-Domingo was known for.
Mann, the hand is broken again; David, both hands were broken; Qi Wei, the prosthetic body of the chin was smashed crooked; Dolio, with a large bandage on her body, is shot.
Pila, Rebecca, and Lucy didn't appear to be injured—but if they were to be examined, there must have been internal injuries from shockwaves or blunt blows.
All of them have hung up their lottery, and they don't know how long it will take after the reward is in hand.
Lille looked at them and said:
So you're a gang now? Then I'll send the money together. ”
There was no objection.
It seems that David is planning to mess with Mann - yes, after the madness of the night, he should have a deeper understanding of the so-called "hard work" in his heart.
Mercenaries like Mann are rare, and they were all wiped out in the battle with the Night Wanderer.
As for him, the little bit of pride that had just risen in his head was immediately shattered by Bowen.
It's not that he's mixed with Burger King, he's a mercenary at that level, and with one more Mann, David gradually has a clear understanding of himself.
[Transfer: -120,000 euros]
[Account balance: 126,682 euros]
"Good job this time, I gave you a little more tips."
The crowd smacked.
It's not a tip.
Lille's idea is also very simple, this conflict is indeed a bit beyond his expectations, and the strength of Mann Team is also good, and they share a lot of pressure on the frontal battlefield.
If you behave well and have a positive attitude, you will add money, he is not the kind of stingy big brother who holds on to the money.
On the contrary, he was actually happy to bring some pleasing looking young people with him - he got used to it.
"It's dangerous and addictive to work for you." Mann divided the money, and the whole person was a little emotional.
"Go back and get a better arm - but I took a look at your prosthetic system, and it's best to change the thymus control device and the bone marrow microdialysis device before changing the arm prosthesis.
The structure of the gorilla arm and the projectile system built into the arm is very simple, and the increase in combat power brought by it is very intuitive.
But I guess your body has become tattered from the indiscriminate implantation of prosthetic bodies, right? ”
Mann snorted, and the crowd looked at him.
He just kept his head down, not knowing what to say.
In fact, long before the battle of the subway, his body often trembled and the prosthetic system was disordered.
Multiple injuries, leakage of prosthetic circulating fluid, and frequent replacement of prosthetic bodies can worsen the physical condition.
Lille adds: "I've been introduced to some helpful entry-level implantable accommodations, all of which are expensive, but if you don't want to be a cybermaniac, you'd better take the time to pay attention." ”
David, who was sitting on the side, suddenly flashed in his head the scene of Bowen abusing Cedric.
Thinking of the grievances between them and the connection to himself, he blurted out the question in his heart:
But how can you fight without these powerful prosthetics? How do you want to?"
How can you maintain your dignity, protect the people you want to protect, and realize the life of your dreams?
Lille sighed and noticed that the group were all 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 presented to people in the most direct way.
At the bottom, what people see is: better prosthetics, more power, faster speed, and more violent ways to force others to listen to them.
But in fact, there are too many channels for power to be concretized, and prosthetic transformation is only one of the ways that is relatively easy to be perceived, and it is a way with great side effects.
"I didn't say that I wouldn't let you pretend to be prosthetics, but just use your brains, you are human beings, not disassembled machines.
The more you don't understand the technology in your hands, the easier it is to be blinded by the colorful technological products and indulge in all kinds of desires.
People in Night City are drugged to death every day, and they play with airplane cups on the street until they die, 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?" ”
Lille shrugged: "Actually, almost the same. ”
Some truths are difficult for the parties to recognize.
In the previous life, when it was still a time of peace, a mobile phone, which is not considered high-tech now, was enough to capture the attention of a large number of people, so that they no longer had the heart to study.
The impact of prosthetics is much more powerful than that of mobile phones, and it is normal to be addicted.
In addition to prosthetics, there are all kinds of cheap addictive drugs, holographic airplane cups that can be obtained for dozens of euros with Mewtwo, and the feeling is no different from real work, and there are all kinds of sex dolls on the street
From cheap to expensive thrills, as well as directly available violent gear, they are all temptations that deceive people's hearts.
However, the person who is addicted to all kinds of airplane cups and sex dolls deceives his cow that it is a warm nest, and his cow is not lying that he has been loved?
The same is true of the modification of the combat prosthesis, the pain caused by the modification makes people think that they are paying, and the combat power brought by the prosthetic makes people think that everything is under control.
But in this world, there are almost no big people who can't be called half a tael of flesh.
David, the only student present who had read a book, nodded thoughtfully - it seems that he must study the relevant knowledge after he goes back, and then determine what to do with his two arms.
However, it is quite a bit of a dark-haired school that does not know how to study early, and the white head regrets the taste of studying late: after all, he has just dropped out of Arasaka Academy.
Lille waved his hand: "Alright, let's go back first, but I still suggest that you listen to me and adjust the circulatory system first, and then consider other combat prosthetics." ”
A group of people squeezed into the Columbus freight that had arrived—barely able to drive after repairs.
Dolio leaned over to Mann and said, "You don't seem to have told me about the prosthesis. ”
Mann was silent for a moment: "I thought I could control it. ”
"Let's think about Burger King's proposal when we go back."
"Well, Mackinac is so handsome, why don't you buy a Mackinac when you go back?"
Dolio slammed his head on Mann's head, "Deal with your prosthetic system first!" ”
In the back seat, Lucy looked at David's appearance and sighed: "So you have to throw the money on the prosthetic body again, is it worth it?" ”
"Of course it's worth it." David's attitude this time was much more resolute, "Lucy, you asked me before what dreams I have, but I can't say.
Now I'm starting to understand something. ”
Got it? A more powerful prosthetic? ”
"I still can't say it, but I think I'm closer to that dream now than I was when I was at Arasaka Academy, and you'll see it one day."
"See what?"
"See your dreams come true." David said earnestly, "Then I might know what my dream is."
Maybe I don't have a dream right now, but I can watch your dream come true first. ”
"You're stupid."
The broken van trembled, pulling two cars of dreamers with tattered bodies, and drove towards the city of dreams.
Transfers: -116,682 euros
Account balance: €10,000.
Personal debt: owed V1.66 million.
Nearly 120,000 in three copies, Jack got more than 30,000, V got 80,000, and Lille continued to be in debt.
Lille was heartbroken, and V nodded in satisfaction.
"And then? When are we going back? What are you going back for? Isn't it about making a lot of money? Where's my big money? ”
The stolen arms are still on the way to be sold, and it is expected that they will be disposed of in a week, and they will be able to draw about 250,000 or 60,000 yuan."
"That's it?"
"I'll think again. Those night wanderers basically have bounties, and together the NCPD still owes us more than 80,000 yuan; And the last batch of neurolavid-release agents and vaccines have been disposed of, and the money will arrive tomorrow, adding up to 660,000 euros."
"Wait a minute, why is it only 660,000? The last time I sold a little, it was 700,000! ”
"I said that I drilled a loophole last time! I'm not greedy! ”
"I don't believe it, let my sister plug in your system interface"
"Get out!"
Dogtown.
At the Jewel Green nightclub, an old man in a red suit is on the phone.
His hair was neatly tied back together, the hair on top of his head was all white, he had a long beard on his chin and a well-dressed goatee on his upper lip.
"The mercenary I found exceeded the task, and the border wall was smashed, are you satisfied?"
"Hehe, it's been a long time since I've seen military science and technology eat so much, 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 at present, the main target is not Dog Town, you can rest assured."
"With this information, the price is negotiable."
"Understood."
The phone hung up, and Henz sat silently in his chair, in the same position, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Cyber surveillance. Hansen, what the hell are you up to? ”
Mr. Hands pinched his eyebrows, thinking that the three of them would be good in Dogtown.
But Hansen certainly wouldn't let them in.
Let's think about the Internet supervisor.
Mr. Hands began to move the file from his memory: though he couldn't get out of Dogtown right now, and he couldn't put the awesome guys in.
But the commission that should be sent still has to be issued, and you have to prepare well.
Maybe the opportunity will come?
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
I'm going to go back to my hometown tomorrow to see the old man and come back in the evening, so the update may be put in the evening
