【Night~city audience, good evening! 】

[Tonight’s guest is Martin Coleman, an ordinary citizen of Night City. He... Hi, Martin, how would you introduce yourself? 】

On the top of the neon-colored high-rise building, a TV program from Night City was playing on the hanging screen, and the host in sparkling yellow clothes was introducing the guests invited to the program.

Tonight’s talk show is about disabled laid-off workers!
[Well, you saw it too, I...I have no arms. 】

[This is so tragic, Martin. Was this an accident or was he attacked by a homeless person? 】

[No, it’s not like that, um...well, I have been working for New American Automobile Manufacturing Company since 2056...]

[Then the company encountered some problems and decided to start cutting costs. One day they called us all into the break room and said that we were inefficient, procrastinating, lacked ability and so on. They asked us to choose ourselves, or use Zeta Technology prosthetics. Replace the arms or get fired with no severance. 】

【So what should you do? 】

[If it were anyone else, it would be the same as me. I have two daughters. My wife can’t work. I have no choice. And the surgery is not free. They force us to buy their loan and pay it off in installments over 20 years. The money will be paid directly. Deducted from salary...]

"Tsk, why hasn't the target come yet? I've taken note of this grudge for letting me blow the cold wind on the top floor."

At the top of the big screen where the program was playing, Xia Yu was sitting on the edge, with his legs hanging like this, and holding a steaming cup of noodles in his hand.

After taking two mouthfuls of hot synthetic noodles, Xia Yu muttered unhappily. Fortunately, there was food to warm his stomach, so he wouldn't drink the cold wind.

There are no purely natural foods anymore, they are all synthetic foods, but... who cares, as long as they are edible and taste good.

Pure technology, no ruthless work at all.

"Gulu gulu... ha."

After drinking the hot noodle soup in one go, Xia Yu threw the garbage away casually, not caring whether he was throwing objects from a high altitude.

In Night City, it is normal to have sex in the street. Of course, most of them don't even have to use cannons and can only numb their nerves with low-quality Mewtwo.

Life is random, death is random, this is the future cyberpunk era!

【Do you also have a story to share with the world?Tragic accident?Family dispute?What are you waiting for? Call 1900ZIGGYQ now! 】

Listening to the host's concluding remarks, Xia Yu yawned. This program is really boring. It's just a show without a trace of reality.

But no matter in which world, TV shows are like this, they are all scripts.

After waiting for another moment, Xia Yu suddenly focused his eyes, and the target he had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared.

On that busy street, a sports car was driving, surrounded by many colorful motorcycles.

The side of the sports car is spray-painted with tiger stripes, which is the symbol of the Tiger Claw gang in Night City.

Night City is a melting pot of cultures and peoples. The Tiger Claw Gang is a ruthless criminal gang from Japantown and one of the largest criminal groups in Night City.

Gang members, who are predominantly Asian, aim to maintain control of their territory and occasionally annex other gangs and their businesses.

The characteristics of the members are also very unified. Luminous tattoos, speeding street motorcycles, and swords and ribs are the symbols of the members of the Tiger Claw Gang.

Although the Tiger Claw Gang basically only operates in Japantown, Little Chinatown, Kabuki District and Charter Hill, there are occasional exceptions, like this time.

The blue data stream lit up in Xia Yu's eyes. After comparing it with the information given by his employer, he once again confirmed that it was the target.

"OK, it's time to work."

Xia Yu, who was sitting on the big screen, twisted his arms, held up his hands, and immediately fell down according to gravity.

The strong wind blew against his face, making Xia Yu's hair rustle. Seeing the densely packed little people below grow bigger in his eyes, Xia Yu opened his hands and shouted loudly.

"Good evening, Night City!"

The speed of the free fall was not slow, and he had already landed in the middle of the building in just a few seconds. When he felt that the distance was almost there, Xia Yu thought and his whole body changed.

In layman's terms, he covered the skin.

After hiding his true identity, Xia Yu flicked his left hand, and a blue glowing rope shot out from his wrist and hooked a fulcrum.

The rope tightened instantly, and his whole body was swung high like Spider-Man.

Although the real name of this move is Rift Interference, he prefers to call it Grappling Hook directly, which is clear at a glance.

After swinging high into the sky, Xia Yu repeatedly used the grappling hook to leap over the sports car, and then pulled out the Youxing Heyu he was carrying on his back.

This is a straight-edged long knife. The matte black blade coupled with various patterns and serrations make it look low-key and handsome.

Xia Yu, who has not unlocked other weapons for the time being, can only use this exclusive weapon.

Sooner or later he will kill people with a rainbow knife!

Xia Yu, who was thinking silently in his heart, suddenly exploded in mid-air, his senses were simultaneously enhanced, and he also entered bullet time.

Looking at the members of the Tiger Claw Gang below him who were not aware of the danger at all, and the sports car with the target sitting on it, Xia Yu stabbed down with a long knife!

boom! ! !
Youxing Heyu pierced directly into the hood of the bulletproof sports car, and then penetrated the chassis, creating a long ravine on the road.

Suffering a sudden impact, the sports car suddenly flipped over. Xia Yu stepped back in time to avoid being crushed by the sports car.

It wasn't until this moment that the motorcycles escorting the sports car reacted.

Bang bang bang! !

Then these Tiger Claw Gang members riding motorcycles did not hesitate at all, and shot a continuous stream of bullets at Xia Yu's retreating figure with great martial ethics.

Clang!Clang!Clang--!
Xia Yu, who was also very virtuous, held the knife with both hands and danced it quickly in front of him. The afterimage of the knife blade formed a black screen, and all the bullets were thrown away without falling.

Some bullets even returned directly along the same path, splitting the heads of some members, and a large amount of brain matter flew out, dyeing the ground bright red.

It wasn't until the scene fell silent that everyone in the Tiger Claw Gang saw the incoming figure clearly after the wave of attacks.

It was a slender humanoid silhouette, wearing a hooded jacket and holding a matte long knife. There was no trace of skin exposed, at least the parts that could be seen were all mechanical structures.

"Full-body prosthetic body!? Damn it, it's a ghost walker!"

"TMD! Why are we being targeted by ghost walkers!"

"Kill him!"

Although they learned that the attacker was the recently famous Ghost Walker, the Tiger Claw Gang was not discouraged. They were all members of a mixed society, and no one would be timid to step forward.

Besides, in Night City, neither your own life nor the lives of others are actually that important.

"Kill!"

Realizing that the guns were useless, the members of the Tiger Claw Gang simply threw away the guns in their hands, drew out their own sabers, or ejected their mantis knives and slashed at Xia Yu.

Because most members of the Tiger Claw gang prefer close combat, almost all of them carry knives and wear light armor.

In the streets, a melee breaks out.

Seeing this scene, passers-by took the initiative to get out of the way, or drove away at high speed.

As residents of Night City, they know what to do to save their lives.

In this city where there is a small commotion every three days and a major commotion every five days, if you don't protect yourself wisely, you will die without knowing how.

But even so, life may still be harvested inadvertently, perhaps due to gang conflicts, or perhaps a cybermaniac going crazy. Anyway, life is the least worth mentioning in this city.In the middle of the melee, Xia Yu held a knife in one hand, tilted his head slightly to avoid the mantis knife that was slashing at him, and then waved his backhand, and his attacker immediately split into two parts.

The internal organs flowed all over the floor, and the smell of blood filled the air. This smell seemed to stimulate the others, and the attack speed accelerated again.

Facing the dense crowd of attackers, Xia Yu directly turned on sensory enhancement!

The knife that was originally cutting at high speed slowed down in his eyes. While avoiding it, he waved the Youxing Heyu. Every time he waved it, a head would fly up.

Then a pillar of blood spurted out into the sky, dyeing the sight of others red.

This was a massacre without resistance. After all, with the Ghost Walker's mobility, ordinary prosthetics would not be able to keep up with its speed unless they had military-grade implants.

Puff-!
As the last column of blood spurted out, no one was left standing at the scene. The ground was filled with headless corpses, or corpses that had been chopped into two halves.

Anyway, no one is complete, and they all die with their eyes open.

There is no way, who makes the ghost walker use only cold weapons. If the cold weapons want to kill people, they can only behead or cut them in half directly. Unlike guns, it is over with a headshot.

"Not bad, I have indeed gained some proficiency."

Xia Yu played with his sword, stepped over the corpses covering the ground, stepped on the pool of blood and walked towards the target with a pattering sound.

With a flick of the blade, the blood-filled Youxing Heyu became as smooth as new again. Although it was just a cold weapon, the technological content on it was not low.

boom!
Suddenly, a bullet was fired at Xia Yu, but Xia Yu just waved the blade and bounced the bullet back.

"what!!"

A shrill scream came, and the target who had escaped from the flipped sports car was twitching while holding his bleeding palm.

He was the one who fired the bullet just now. People are all lucky, but Xia Yu told him with reality that luck can only be thought about.

Clang!
The long knife stabbed down. The target looked at the black blade close at hand, his throat moved, and he did not dare to scream again.

"Cooperate well and you will survive."

Under the hood, a steady male voice came from the mechanical mask with yellow light stripes, which did not sound like a synthesized electronic sound.

"Uh-huh!"

Hearing this warning, the target nodded hurriedly. Since he was not killed, he must live no matter what.

Crackling!

Seeing this, Xia Yu took out an electric shock device and struck it directly on the target, causing him to twitch all over and turn his eyes white.

After the target lost consciousness, Xia Yu stopped the electric shock, picked up the target with his backhand, and escaped before the trauma team arrived.

He doesn't want to go through unnecessary battles. Although fighting can increase his proficiency, continuing to fight will only make it more troublesome.

He is not a real ghost walker. A real ghost walker may not be tired, but he will definitely be tired.

There is no need to worry about the traces of the battle at the scene. Anyway, in Night City, there will always be someone to clean it up.

Xia Yu, who was carrying the target, used a grappling hook and floated in this neon-colored city. The dazzling light pollution did not affect him.

He had to deliver the target to his employer as soon as possible, otherwise he would have to go through another battle if he was caught up.

"Tsk, I would have known better not to take this kind of mission. The assassination mission is still suitable for Ghost Walker."

After walking around for a long time, Xia Yu fell to the ground and muttered in frustration.

But if there really is such a mission, he might still take it, but there must be a prerequisite.

Gotta pay more!
After landing, Xia Yu turned a few more places and then quietly entered a warehouse. There was a figure in the center of the warehouse with his back to him.

"People caught it."

Seeing that the figure was motionless, Xia Yu could only cough lightly and remind him.

Suddenly there was a sound in the empty warehouse. The figure with his back to Xia Yu tensed up suddenly, but after realizing that it was a familiar voice, he relaxed and turned around.

"As expected of a ghost walker, he moves like a ghost and cannot be detected at all."

Of course, you must know that the ghost walker is equipped with a stealth module. No matter whether it is a camera, infrared or network monitoring, its traces cannot be found. This is why the ghost walker is called a ghost.

But he is not stupid enough to explain to others, he just knows why.

"Check out."

"Ah."

The figure nodded, data flashed in his eyes, and the account in front of Xia Yu was immediately credited with [-] euros.

In the world of Cyberpunk 2077, the euro has replaced the US dollar as the world currency, and its value has also risen rapidly, unlike before.

Night City, as a city jointly managed by many giant multinational companies, also uses the euro, referred to as Euro.

Looking at the final payment, Xia Yu's mouth curled up. This was the reason why he accepted the task even though it was troublesome.

"Looking forward to our next cooperation."

Xia Yu put down the target he was carrying, waved to his employer, and disappeared in a flash.

"Collaboration next time? Ha..."

The figure sneered, stepped forward, dragged away the target brought by Xia Yu, and quietly left the warehouse.

On the top floor of the warehouse, Xia Yu opened the account and took another look, and couldn't help but sigh: "Tsk, tsk, there are so many, you can't be lucky when you go out."

Watching his money rise, he really feels happy. Even though he already has a lot of money at his disposal, in Night City, no one will think he has too much money.

"And my proficiency is also increasing steadily. I really want to know if I can kill Adam's Hammer with one strike when I reach full proficiency level?"

After putting away his account, Xia Yu looked at another light screen in front of him.

[Name: Xia Yu]

[Card Slot: Ghost Walker]

【Proficiency: 66%】

[Already have cards]

【Extract cards】

[Extraction points: 2]

【Recycle Bin】

As long as the proficiency reaches the full level, the Ghost Walker card can be used without occupying a position, and the card slot can be freed up to replace with the next card.

In the first draw, he was able to draw a ghost walker suitable for this cyberpunk world. He was really lucky. He was a yes after leaving Africa and joining the European Union.
