Chapter 305 Jack Wells

"Gloria Martinez is dead, the gang attacked Arasaka's car, and their mother and son happened to be there, and then Gloria was shot, and there was a car accident."

The matter is very simple, and Mann immediately understands it.

Mann, who was still aggressive just now, immediately froze, and then his expression changed. This was something he didn't expect, but he found it understandable. Among the reasons for the loss of contact with "Night City", death is the biggest one. The possibility is just that he has been unwilling to think about it before.

"I am sorry for your loss."

Mann was silent for a while, and then said, Gloria is a pretty good person, and he still owes her a favor, so his attitude towards David has improved significantly.

"Sooner or later."

David Martinez nodded. His mother's death was undoubtedly a catastrophe for his life, because in the past, he lived to fulfill his mother's wish. After his mother died, he had lost his way forward. direction.

"However, you can't just forget about the prosthetic body. You are not suitable for this prosthetic body. It is too dangerous for you."

After mourning for Gloria for a few seconds, Mann changed the subject again. He felt that the kid in front of him had put on the "Sian Westin" too hastily. Not everyone can pretend of.

To put it simply, in Mann's eyes, David Martinez belongs to the kind of guy who doesn't have enough attributes but pretends to be a "prosthetic body". Such guys often don't end well.

"No, I can apply it well, even beyond your imagination."

Regarding this point, David has something to say. To him, this "Si'an Weistein" is like a finger.

As soon as the words came out, Mann and the others naturally didn't believe it. There was nothing they could do about it, because David Martinez's figure was a bit too thin and ordinary in their eyes, and he didn't look like "Sian Weistein" at all. Woe.

"Don't underestimate people, some people are born to be great people."

Villian leaned against the wall and stood side by side with Lucy. At this time, Lucy was still smoking a lot and hadn't quit smoking. The two stood side by side with cigarettes in their mouths, and the difference in height was obvious.

David after the "prosthetic body modification" is about the same height as Willian, and now David is not even as tall as Lucy. Lucy's height is about 1.7 meters. From this point of view, David is indeed a growing child .

"Heh, big shot~ Let us see your level~"

Pilar started to talk cheaply. This guy just talked too much, and he died because of it, but it doesn't matter if he talks less.

"I advise against it, you've used it too many times today."

Old V cut in, trying to stop David Martinez.

It just got a little better and I continued to use it. It's really life-threatening.

But at this time, David Martinez can't help it. He has to show his ability to use "Sian Weistein". This is the opportunity Mann gave him.

"Buzz!"

David Martinez's figure flickered, leaving afterimages around him. Before everyone could react, he had already returned to his original position, and he was already holding a cigarette in his hand. This is Pila just now. in hand.

"Um?!"

Pilar was taken aback for a moment, and just as he was about to make a move, David put the cigarette back for him, which surprised them all.

"This is the ninth or tenth time today, I'm gifted, I can help you do things."

David is very satisfied with this effect. After all, he is still young, and he is very proud of his talent.

"This guy"

Mann took off his sunglasses in surprise. The "Sian Weistein" is a very heavy load on the human body.

Those who can use it two or three times a day are already very powerful. Those who can use it so many times in a row like David are simply outrageous. Not everyone is a "Cybertron V".

"Cybertron V" can be used so recklessly after being installed with "Sianweistan", it is based on the premise that various attributes are very high, so it is not certain whether it is considered human or not.

And David doesn't have a system that can gain experience by killing enemies, and then upgrade to add points to his body.

So David is indeed very talented. Mann thought of cherishing his talents. Maybe this guy can go further than him.

For Gloria Martinez's sake, if this child is really suitable to take this path, then Mann doesn't mind taking him along so that this child won't take another detour.

"How about it? Take me with you. I can help you. I am also short of money and work. I can be with you."

David strikes while the iron is hot and brings up the idea of ​​joining Mann's squad again.

"Hmph, it's not that easy. You have to prove to us that you have the ability to do things first. This can only be seen in practice."

Although Mann was already tempted, he persisted for a while. Being a "cyberpunk" also depends on a person's character. Ability is very important, but suitability is also very important.

For example, Qin Wuyang, this is easy to understand, a good skill does not necessarily make him a real warrior.

"no problem."

David agreed immediately, he still has some understanding of "cyberpunk", of course, this understanding is limited to "Black Super Dream" and the legends in people's mouths.

Under the protection of Gloria Martinez, although David Martinez was born in poverty and lived a hard life, he was not infected with any bad habits, and even had excellent academic performance. Home.

It is predictable that he will be excluded in "Arasaka Academy".

You are a low-class person who was born as a dog, and you are studying in the same school with a group of young masters with golden spoons in your mouth. Your academic performance is even better than that of the young masters. Where does this make the young masters face?Isn't this a slap in the face of those young masters who think highly of themselves?

If David honestly acts as a buffoon, flatters him, and is a dog's leg, he can still stay in "Arasaka Academy".

But unfortunately, it is precisely because David is talented that he will not do that. He is a man with backbone.

Although it was the wish of his mother, Gloria Martinez, to stand on the top of the "Arasaka Tower", David wanted to climb up with his own ability, rather than relying on others to follow him. The difference between the two is that But it's too big.

"It's not a safe path."

Lao Wei doesn't care if there is a "cyberpunk team" here, and he directly reminds them, "cyberpunk" and "edge walker", these guys are just a group of mercenaries, and whoever pays for the commission will help them Work, this is the real job with the head pinned to the waistband.

"Yes, you have to think carefully."

Mann didn't care, and he followed suit. This is also a test for David. It will be difficult to get out after entering this industry. Guys who give up halfway should give up as soon as possible.

"I know what I'm going to do."

David’s face is determined, he is not stupid, he knows that he has no choice now, his mother passed away, he will definitely not be able to go to this school, and his family has lost their source of income, if he does not want to live on the streets, he must earn money by himself .

Now, "Sian Westin" and his talent are his trump cards, and the free life of "Cyberpunk" is also what he wants.

"Lucy, install a tracker on him, don't let him escape."

After the matter was finalized, Mann asked Lucy to install tracking software on David to prevent David from running away.

"New Ami" is very big, if David ran out of "Night City" to become a homeless person, it would be difficult for them to find him.

"Wait for my message, and I will arrange a task for you."

Putting on the sunglasses, Mann left a sentence, and then left Lao Wei's clinic with Pila and Dorio.

Pilar and Dorio were very helpless, but there was nothing they could do about it. Mann did have a friendly and kind side in his character. Before David, he had done similar things.

"I'm leaving first."

After the Mann team left, Lucy couldn't stay any longer. She felt a little embarrassed, after all, she was the one who brought the Mann team here.

"Don't worry, it was all a misunderstanding before, and you don't know the reason."

Villian explained that it really cannot be blamed on Lucy.

She just met them on the first day, but they have been partners with Mann for more than a year, and Mann's "Sian Weistein" has indeed paid for it in advance.

Seeing that David was wearing the "prosthetic body" that Mann had already paid for, it would be a problem if Lucy didn't inform Mann.

"Villian is right."

David also opened his mouth quickly, saying that he didn't blame Lucy. Although he felt a little disappointed because Lucy approached him with a purpose, he was a sensible person. question.

"Thank you."

Lucy nodded, and what Villian and David said eased her embarrassment, but she still decided to leave.

"Where did those guys come from?"

After Mann's team and Lucy left, Misty came in and asked.

"There are so many cyberpunks in Night City, one crop after another, you can ask Jack, maybe he knows."

Old Wei, who started watching the boxing match again, complained that he really didn't know the Mann team, there was no way, there were simply too many such guys in "Night City".

"Okay, I'll ask him when he comes over."

Misty nodded, she really should ask Jack about this kind of thing.

"Who is Jack?"

David asked, sounding like "cyberpunk" too.

"Heywood's pride, Jack Wells."

Misty gave the answer. Now she and Jack are not together, but she and Jack have long been in love with each other.

"Valentino's gang?"

When it comes to "Heywood District", the first impression in David's mind is "Latinos" and "Valentino Gang", which are the largest ethnic group and the largest gang in "Heywood District".

Latin Americans and Mexicans are the main ethnic groups in Heywood. Of course, there are other ethnic groups living there, just like the "Sixth Street Gang" is also powerful in the "Heywood District".

Compared with the "Valentino Gang", David obviously knows the "Sixth Street Gang" better, because although he has a Latin name, he lives in the "Santo Domingo area", "Santo Domingo The "River Valley District" and "Coronado Farm" in the Ge District belong to the sphere of influence of the "Six Street Gang".

After the "Fourth Corporate War", a large number of professional soldiers lost their jobs and prospects. Among them, the most enterprising group of people set up the "Six Street Gang". Corporate security agents and "civilians" who have received intensive combat training.

In the animation, you can also see the symbols of the "Six Street Gang" appearing throughout the "Santo Domingo District", and they claim to bring order to the city.

But today, they are no different from the gangs that bully the weak in the community. The "Sixth Street Gang" often forces companies in small communities to pay "protection fees" as a show of respect, and they also openly participate in various illegal and criminal activities.

The Sixth Street Gang is easy to recognize, with a style largely influenced by military uniforms, such as military boots, combat vests and knee pads, overalls, and baseball caps emblazoned with the old-fashioned American flag, stars, stripes, and eagles.

Most of these gang members have distinct personalities and have their own gang characteristics, and the same is true for the "Valentino Gang".

Exaggerated vests, golden prosthetic bodies, jeweled jewelry, Santa Muerte and Jesus Christ tattoos, and a flamboyant style inspired by Chicano culture make the "Valentino Gang" seem to be walking directly from downtown Mexico came out the same.

"Yes, it used to be, but it's not anymore."

Misty nods and shakes his head, Jack Wells was part of the "Valentino gang" when he was young, but then he quit and went it alone, he wanted to make a name for himself, not just in "Heywood" District" to defend the turf.

This involves the behavior style of the "Valentino Gang". As one of the largest gangs in "Night City", the "Valentino Gang" only focuses on running the "Heywood District".

Relying on the deep brotherhood as a family as a bond, they are deeply rooted in the community of "Heywood District", where basically everyone is a "family man", just like V and Jack Wells same relationship.

"cool."

David Martinez exclaimed.

"he came."

Villian's ears moved, he heard the footsteps of "unrecognized relatives", Jack Wells came over, he should have come to look for Misty, because that guy first looked for it in Misty's shop, Lao Wei, who didn't see anyone coming here, is obviously familiar with these two places.

"Yo, it's very lively today!"

Sure enough, a burly man walked in, with a smile on his face, looking a little silly.

"Jack, you came a step late, it was more lively just now."

Seeing Jack coming in, Misty's eyes lit up, and then she laughed and joked, the Mann team had just left for a while, and Jack just missed it.

"What? Does anyone else dare to ask about Lao Wei?"

Jack had a look of disbelief, he had known Lao Wei for so long, and Lao Wei had never had any problems here.

"No, it's the trouble of those two boys."

Lao Wei shook his head and pointed to David and Villian.
