Chapter 301 Misty and Old Wei
"Most people don't like this wine."

Seeing Villian's expression, the bartender was overjoyed. He thought to himself that this young man didn't know what was wrong with his brain, and he came up with such a trick, which is better than that of Claire Russell, the inventor of "named wine". "Johnny Silverhand" was much worse.

"I find it interesting."

"The Law of Cao Cao, Cao Cao" is still valid in this world. Claire Russell, who was absent just now, returned to the bar. This red-haired woman is the real bartender.

Of course, Villian knows that the bartender in the afterlife is actually a transgender person, and he used to be an engineer in military technology, and now he owns a modified car shop of his own.

The most important thing is that Claire Russell is also one of the rare people who is unwilling to use a "prosthetic body". She is more primitive and has no "prosthetic body". The wine is directly blended with the "prosthetic body". It can only be said that there are all kinds of messy "prosthetic bodies".

"This kind of contradictory feeling can bring stimulation to people, can't it?"

Claire Russell obviously has a different opinion on Villian's "David Martinez".

That was natural, and Villian didn't find it strange at all, after all, this glass of wine was actually made by Claire Russell.

"Foresight, as expected of Claire."

Villian gave a thumbs up and expressed his praise. Although he thought it was average, he did not rule out that someone would like it.

"This guest is unfamiliar. He has never been here before. How do you know me?"

Claire was a little surprised. She knew all the regular customers of "Afterlife". Not only did she know what wine they liked the most and what they drank last time, she even knew exactly what their friends ordered, but she didn't know anything about Willian. impression.

"I heard, it's a good idea to name the wine after the legends of Night City, so that they can be immortalized on the wine list, isn't it? At least that glass of wine will sell better."

Villan took another sip of "David Martinez". How to put it, if it is acceptable, it actually has a different flavor.

"Whatever you say."

Claire shrugged. That was indeed her idea. As for the purpose of doing so?Whether it's for commemoration or to sell more wine, it's up to others to think.

"One more Johnny Silverhand."

Villian shook his head and ordered another glass of wine. This is the real hit. Unlike the "David Martinez" who has not yet become famous, the former "Rock Kid" Johnny Silverhand is the "Night Boy" City" a true legend.

"A cup of Johnny Silverhand."

Claire placed the order, which is her crowning achievement.

Soon, "Johnny Silverhand" was served, and Villian took a sip.

"How? Am I a genius, using chilli to perfectly cover the nasty ethyl ester smell of agave?"

Claire looked at Villian, expecting his comment, she felt that Villian should be able to understand her taste.

After all, it was the person who could call out that special cup of "David Martinez", and she was completely on the airwaves with her.

"How should I put it? The taste is worth pondering. If you say it's delicious, it's not very delicious. It feels like"

Villian tasted it carefully, just like "David Martinez", this wine also has a very strange taste.

It can only be said that it really deserves to be made by the same person.

"Maybe only this kind of peculiar taste can make people feel what a legend is. It's just different, isn't it?"

Villan used the statement of high emotional intelligence, and this made Claire's eyes light up, as if seeing a confidant.

"That's right! You're a nice guy! I'll pay for the drink and get to know you officially. My name is Claire Russell."

Claire slapped the table boldly, intending to make Villian a friend.

"Villian, Villian Crow."

Villian raised his glass, but he didn't refuse. Although Claire Russell is a transgender person who loves "auto repair" and "racing", she is not a bad person. In the game, she can even be attacked one of the roles.

But, Villian didn't think much of her. After all, Claire was "he" before, and Villian's XP system was still a relatively conservative old version, and it wasn't as outrageously updated as some people who kept pace with the times.

"Isn't your name David Martinez?"

Claire was a little surprised, and so was the bartender, good guy, he co-authored and bartended here for a long time, didn't he prepare it for himself?
"Of course not, but I believe that someone with this name will come out soon. Leave this recipe, it will save you a lot of trouble, and it will be sold directly at that time."

Villian smiled, but with him, David Martinez's glass of wine should not be born so early, and even the rules of "afterlife" may have to be changed. Why are there only dead ones? Legends only go with wine?Why the 'Night City' legend lives in the grave
"What a weird guy."

Claire and the bartender naturally couldn't understand Villian's thoughts, but they had seen a lot of weird guys, and Villian's like this could only be considered commonplace.

"You don't seem to have implants? Why?"

Claire asked curiously, this is too conspicuous, just like her, this kind of question is always asked by others, and she didn't expect that one day she would ask others.

"I just don't think it's necessary."

Villian tilted his head. If the flesh is stronger than the "prosthetic body", then why install any "prosthetic body"?He is not a fragile native human being, he has long ceased to be a human being.

In a sense, Villian is actually a more exaggerated reformer than Adam Heavy Hammer.

"No need? It will be very inconvenient."

Clare knows very well whether the "prosthetic body" is necessary, and it is definitely not easy to make a living in "Night City" without the "prosthetic body".

Since several "Central American Wars" were fought a long time ago, "Prosthetic Body" has begun to develop rapidly, and companies have also begun to compete.

By now, basic "ready-to-use components" are available, available from a variety of companies, and are reliable, readily available, and relatively inexpensive.

The influence of "prosthetic bodies" in contemporary culture is just like tattoos and mobile phones in the early 21st century. They can simultaneously have the characteristics of cultural expression, personal image embellishment, and tools.

The most important thing is that the plug-ins of basically all companies are compatible, and the installation is simple. Shops and beauty clinics have services to install "light" implants on the spot, and some accessory components can even be installed at home.

As for complex and heavy operations, professionals are needed to help with the operation, and "prosthetic doctors" are everywhere.

Especially in the "Little Chinatown, Watson District" where the "Later Life Bar" is located, there are many "prosthetic doctor" clinics.

For example, "Old Victoria" Victor Victor's store is opened in "Little Chinatown", together with Misty's store "Misty's Secret", the store is outside and the clinic is inside.

"It doesn't matter as long as there's work in hand, doesn't it? Just like you."

Villian said casually, and then drank two glasses of wine in one breath. His eyes were no longer on Claire Russell, but he was attracted by another woman.

"."

Claire pursed her lips. There was a reason why she didn't pretend to be a "prosthetic body", but she saw that Villian's eyes were drawn away, so she didn't speak on her own.

"That's our boss, Rogge, Queen of the Afterlife, a true legend, the most powerful middleman in Night City."

Claire introduced that the old woman was indeed a legend, with an incomparably rich life experience.

"It looks very chic."

Villian commented that Rogge is in his seventies and eighties, but it is not very obvious from the appearance, and the painting style of Okada and Ukako who was born in 00 is different.

"Whenever you can accept the commission from her, it will be regarded as a name in Night City. Keep working hard."

Claire joked that this sentence is indeed true. In the eyes of the "Edge Walkers", the heart of "Night City" is here, in the "Afterlife" of "Little Chinatown in Watson District", almost the entire "Night City" The mercenary network of "City of City" is here, and every big business needs Rogge's nod.

"Lend your auspicious words."

Villian waved his hand, and then left the "Afterlife Bar" without taking the initiative to chat with Rogge. After all, everyone doesn't know each other, and they might be driven away if they go up to talk.

You can't go up and just say "your ex-boyfriend is coming back soon", right?

Roger's ex-boyfriend is Johnny Silverhand, and Roger was the girlfriend that guy had before Ott Cunningham.

When Johnny Silverhand blew up the "Arasaka Tower" to rescue Ott Cunningham, he also called Rogge together. She did not betray Johnny Silverhand, or in other words, she and Johnny Silverhand were True love, in the ending of "Arasaka Tower", she died on the way to blow up "Arasaka Tower" with Johnny Silverhand again.

It is not a good idea to mention Johnny Silverhand to Roger, because in the eyes of these people, Johnny Silverhand is obviously a memory from the golden years, even if there are still people who miss him and inherit him "will", but I'm afraid few really believe that he is still alive.

Walking out of the "Afterlife Bar", Villian stepped into the neighborhood of "Little Chinatown".

"Little Chinatown" used to be an extension of the city center. During the reconstruction of "Night City", it was once planned as a second city center, and various companies have also developed it.

In the late 20s, a large number of Asian immigrants, mainly Chinese, moved into this neighborhood, hence the name "Little Chinatown".

Over the next few decades, "Little Chinatown" gradually became overpopulated and its xenophobic tone gave way to a more Asian ethnic feel, with distinctly Chinese tinges in food, shops, neon signs, jargon and style feature.

Once, there were countless skyscrapers, the best "medical center" clinic, and the best "prosthetic body" in the city.

But now, "Little Chinatown" has also become a poor area of ​​"Night City", just like other poor areas of "Night City".

But "Little Chinatown" is not controlled by any gang, only the "Tiger Claw Gang" guys often come here to have fun.

The decline of "Little Chinatown" is the epitome of the decline of "Watson District" as a whole. The living quarters of the workers on the lowest floor of the factory.

All of this should be thanks to the "great lack of virtue" in "Arasaka". It is the return of "Arasaka" that destroyed the development of "Watson District".

In order to take over the waterfront of "Watson District" to ensure their business can expand overseas, the lawyers and bankers of "Arasaka" eliminated all companies investing in "Watson District".

The high-rise buildings, bustling nightclubs, "medical centers" and the directly subordinate Chengbei Industrial Zone are all no longer in operation, and many people have lost their jobs.

Only casinos, nightclubs, bars, and Chaomeng experience stores are still in operation, and there are only these in the current "Watson District".

Villian searched around, and soon found Misty's shop. Misty's shop was not big, and it was full of various incense sticks for exorcism, yarrow stems, Tibetan "Book of the Dead", The pendant that separates the chip and the transshipment, yes, "Misty's Secret" is actually a shop engaged in "occultism".

"What do you want?"

In front of the store counter, Misty stood there leisurely. It seemed that she was not too busy today, and Lao Wei was not too busy, otherwise Misty would not be so idle.

This smart and sensitive woman usually has more customers in the store than Old Victoria, but she can always find time to help Old Victoria when she is in trouble, and sometimes even act as a full-time nurse in the clinic.

Old Wei and Misty, these two can really be called "Night City's conscience". Of course, it's hard to say that "Night City" has really good people in the worldly sense, but there are always people who still have a conscience.

"I don't buy anything, I just heard that there is a reliable prosthetic doctor here."

Villian looked around, there really wasn't anything he was interested in in this store, mainly because it was too mysterious.

It's already 2076, and there is still a market for these things. It is indeed cyberpunk. Walking in this "Little Chinatown", except for the messy prosthetic bodies on people, this is similar to the last century in the movie. Hong Kong and Macau are very similar.

No way, among the cyberpunk elements, Europeans and Americans will think of "Japanese style" when they think about it, while "Neon people" will think of Hong Kong and Kowloon.

"Then you have come to the right place. I dare say that in the entire Night City, there is no more reliable prosthetic doctor than Old Wei."

Misty praised Lao Wei, it was really hard work, there is no way, she really respects Lao Wei.

"Come with me."

Misty led Villian out of the back door of her shop, and after turning around the back door, Lao Wei's clinic was downstairs.

The decoration of other "prosthetic body clinics" always looks like a meditation room on a spaceship, but Lao Wei's "prosthetic body doctor clinic" has a down-to-earth decoration style, which means that there is basically no decoration .

A middle-aged man with short hair was sitting in the clinic, watching a boxing match.
