Under one person, cross the heavens and enter the group chat

Chapter 143 Young man, do you long for power?
Thinking that some accident might have happened to David, Jiang Chen's expression froze immediately, and he asked everyone in the group.

Under one person-Jiang Chen: By the way, why is there no news from David today?He won't encounter any dangerous situation!

Ghost Slayer-Murata: Uh, not really, but David has encountered some minor setbacks recently.

Yuanshin-Arataki Ichito: For this question, it would be more appropriate for you to read the chat records yourself. 【stand hands】

After seeing the strange behavior of the two of them, Jiang Chen immediately realized that something was wrong.

Then I began to carefully read the chat records related to David in the past few days.

The timeline of this accident occurred just a short time after David provided himself with biotechnology-related materials.

Because of his outstanding performance in this operation, David was hired by another small mercenary group.

And this small mercenary group is surprisingly the Mann squad, which is the mercenary group that David joined after his mother died in the original plot.

And the other party hired David, a lone wolf who has been in the limelight recently, precisely because of David's outstanding performance in diving into biotechnology.

After all, the next mission of Mann's team is to enter a biotechnology company.

Once David, an "veteran", joins in, the safety factor will naturally increase a lot.

In consideration of reward and feelings, David agreed to do the job this time after a little confirmation that the goal of the mission was simply stealing information.

After all, he had already experienced it once, and the action this time would obviously be easier than before.

So in David's eyes, this action is like giving away money for free.

At the same time, in the process of running in, David and all the members of Mann's team have made a friendship again.

Whether it’s Mann who gnaws his lips with his deputy all day long but is a good captain, or his brothers and sisters who bicker like living creatures but take great care of him-Pyla and Rebecca, and gentle cats like cats The big sister of the character - Sasha.

Although it was only a brief contact during a mission, it brought him some warmth that was hard to find in Night City.

Especially Sasha, who didn't have much impression in David's memory, took great care of him.

Perhaps it was seeing David at such a young age.

This big sister of the cat family immediately overflowed with maternal love.

For a period of time before the start of the mission, he almost regarded David as his own younger brother.

With a gentle attitude like a sister, I took David to visit this gorgeous and cruel Night City again from a different perspective, which largely made up for David's predicament of rich theoretical knowledge and lack of practical experience.

And the two are also in the process of warming up their relationship, knowing each other's past experiences.

In this conversation.

David knew that when Sasha was young, his mother died due to the side effects of biotechnology drugs, so he came to Night City to work with Mann and others, hoping to find out the truth.

And the current mission is the closest she gets to her wish.

So after learning about this matter, David also solemnly promised that he would do his best to assist their mission in this operation.

At least this story is here, and it is still a thriving and good situation.

David got a well-paid mission that suits him, and even made a group of relatively strong mercenary friends.

The Mann team also got their wish and recruited David, a powerful lone wolf with a 100% mission success rate, to assist in the next mission.

And from various perspectives, David has indeed fulfilled his promise to Sasha.

At least during the mission's progress stage, his exclusive ability brought quite a different world shock to Mann's team.

However, everything in this harmony changed completely when the task entered the final stage.

Originally, everyone only needed to cover Sasha, who was a hacker, from sneaking into the core position of biotechnology, and this task was basically completed.

But at the last moment.

Sasha stumbles across biotech files about a drug her mother was taking.

In anger, Sasha decided to make the information public and let these ugly materials be made public on the news.

This is obviously an extremely risky decision.

It is precisely because of this.

Before Sasha took action, he deliberately tried his best to get David to pass the information back to Mann and the others before launching the action alone.

And this decision also led to her final tragic fate.

When looking at the high-rise building of the company with the alarm ringing loudly, David and everyone in Mann's team just realized that something was wrong.

Sasha's battered body, which was shot, had already smashed lifelessly onto the car on the side of the road.

Before they had time to kill and snatch back Sasha's body.

The company's armed forces who arrived the next moment had already transported Sasha away and disappeared from their sight.

What's even more tragic is that Sashana used his life to pass on the news to the news station.

Even after her death, there were still no waves.

Because behind the seemingly fair news channel, it is actually completely controlled by the company.

Naturally, the company would not allow any news that might tarnish their image to be broadcast on news programs.

from this angle.

The news that Sasha exchanged his life for was of no value at all.

Even her last struggle before she died was nothing more than an insignificant nonsense in the eyes of the company.

that's it.

This gentle sister who had entered David's heart disappeared quietly like a speck of dust under the colorful neon lights of Night City.

Even if she is the most powerful hacker in Mann's squad.

But when facing the giant man-eating beast called the company, he still left this world with such a tragic ending.

and this.

It is also the reason why David is completely autistic.

Even if the memory of the previous life is gradually awakened, but in the final analysis.

He is still just a child who has not grown up.

After personally experiencing the cruelest side of this cannibalistic society.

David has fallen into deep confusion and self-blame.

He was blaming himself for not discovering Sasha's final intention, hating himself for not being strong enough to save the other party, and even more hating the company that controlled everything like a god behind it.

Sasha's death immediately made him feel like he was beaten back to his original form.

He turned back into the helpless boy who was bullied by his classmates at school.

Only this time.

It was no longer his original classmates who beat him fat, but the invisible but controlling hands in this society.

These big hands are the company, the society, and even the ubiquitous and unchangeable twisted world view of the entire cyberpunk world.

Even if he can have the strongest power alone, so what?

That can't change this sick world, and it can only be a puppet that is coerced and moved forward under those big hands.

Even if Johnny Silverhand used a nuclear explosion to destroy the Huangban Tower, but decades later, nothing has changed.

The company is still the same company.

This fucked up world is still so fucked up!

This is the reality that cannot be changed by personal power!
And after learning about this experience in David.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but sighed slightly.

To be honest, he was very able to understand David's feeling of powerlessness.

Just like when he was first abducted into the Yaoxian Society.

The state of wanting to change but being powerless to resist is the most desperate.

It's just that in David's world, this situation is obviously more serious.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the cyberpunk world, the whole world is a giant medicine fair.

Jiang Chen could escape from the Medicine Fairy Society, but David couldn't escape that sick world.

This is exactly what made David most desperate after he realized it.

No matter how powerful a person is, he still has nowhere to escape and cannot be changed in the cyberpunk world.

To understand is to understand.

But Jiang Chen felt that David obviously misunderstood something.

As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear.

Although according to the cyberpunk worldview, no matter how strong their personal combat power is, it is difficult to make waves in front of the company.

But the strongest fighting power standing behind David is the heavens and the worlds!

There is a saying that changes in quantity lead to changes in quality.

Although cyberpunk's personal strongest combat power can't change anything, but if the ability of other worlds is added, it's really hard to say.

Among other things, the relatively basic ability of beast control has been improved to the extreme.

David can easily use the plague to solve the entire civilization, and it is absolutely not an exaggeration to say that it is a mobile natural disaster.

Under such circumstances, would he still feel that he could not change the world?

of course.

This example is a little bit extreme, but that's what it means.

As long as you are in this chat group, there are all possibilities in the future.

Even resurrecting Sasha is not impossible.

all in all.

Whether it's for Jiang Chen's own purpose, or to enlighten David to restore his state.

It is indeed necessary for Jiang Chen to have a good communication with this autistic little brother.

According to Yidou and Murata's words, Jiang Chen knew that David should have blocked the group chat temporarily and wanted to be alone for a while.

If you want to contact the other party under such circumstances, you can only chat with the other party in private.

And Yidou feels that he is not very good at comforting people, so he hasn't taken any action yet.

Murata chatted with David for a while, but there was no way to change the status quo, so comfort did not play a role.

It is precisely because of this that the two of them have already entrusted this great task to Jiang Chen.

After all, the current Jiang Chen is indeed the one most likely to persuade David.

And Jiang Chen didn't have any ink marks either, and after following the logic a little, he directly initiated a call request to David through the private chat window.

Cyberpunk world, super skyscraper H4 apartment.

The night was mingled with red and blue neon lights and orange warning lights flashing along the floating train tracks through the half-raised shutters.

It also illuminated the dim hut and the messy small room a little.

Lying on the bed was a teenager with blank eyes and a haggard expression, and high-strength alcohol bottles piled up everywhere beside him.

speak up.

David originally didn't like these "death accelerators" with bubbles, thinking that wine was neither tasty nor healthy.

But after experiencing Sasha's death, he finally understood why some people like to drink.

Anyway, for him, if he is drunk, he no longer needs to face the ubiquitous suffocation and guilt.

It's not a bad thing for him to just keep getting drunk until his nerves are completely numb.

This is also the reason why David now looks like this.

But right now.

A piece of news suddenly entered David's bewildered brain.

"Ding! Group friends. Do you agree!"

Without watching carefully at all, David directly rejected the news and took another sip of wine.

Where did the spam messages pop up, obviously he had completely blocked all the news and planned to be alone for a while.

These goddamn ads really are as pervasive as flies.

However, before he picked up the wine bottle and took a sip, the news entered his mind again the next moment.

"Ding! The group of friends is under one person - Jiang Chen initiates a call request to you, do you agree!"

puff!
After carefully seeing that the caller was not his own communication prosthetic body, but Jiang Chen.

David was immediately surprised by the unexpected news and spit out the white wine in his mouth, then wiped the corner of his mouth and quickly agreed.

The next moment, a brilliant ray of light intertwined and entangled in the air.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Chen's transparent figure appeared beside David out of thin air.

While slightly surprised by this method of communication in the chat group, Jiang Chen also waved to David afterward.

"Yo David, long time no see. Uh, you don't look too well."

Seeing Jiang Chen who suddenly appeared, David immediately shoved the messy wine bottles behind him with some embarrassment, so as to make the surrounding environment less messy.

"Brother Chenchen, why are you here? There is some chaos at home and I haven't had time to clean it up."

"Tsk, let's talk about the business later! Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol."

While talking, Jiang Chen wanted to take the inferior liquor from David's hand.

Drink this thing as boiling water, even if you have learned to practice qi, you can't make it like this.

Look at Mr. Zhao, although he is a stranger, he still has a beer belly in all kinds of wine and dinner every day.

He didn't want David to have leadership potential at such a young age.

But when Jiang Chen's hand touched the wine bottle, it completely turned into scattered particles of light.

Such a scene made him a little surprised.

And David also opened his mouth to explain at this moment.

"The ability of the chat group should just pass your projections to me, so only I can see and feel your projections."

When Murata came to talk to him earlier, David had experienced this function once.

So it's not completely unfamiliar.

"That's it."

After listening to David's words, Jiang Chen also showed a hint of bewilderment.

So it seems that this function is quite humane, at least it can greatly reduce the risk of group friends being exposed.

Seeing David who honestly put down the wine bottle, Jiang Chen also nodded in satisfaction and continued.

"Okay, I came here to see your situation first and then talk to you about something serious."

"But now it seems that your state is indeed a bit too bad."

hard to imagine.

The charm of a greasy uncle in his [-]s is actually reflected so vividly in David, a young man in his teens.

From this we can see what a terrible catalyst the beatings in society are.

But after hearing Jiang Chen's words, David shook his head and continued calmly.

"I'm fine, I should be able to get used to it after a while, Brother Chen, let's get down to business first."

Although there was a polite smile on his face, David's eyes had lost their highlights.

It's almost like it's been broken.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen immediately sighed, then walked in front of David, and heavily placed his hands on the other's shoulders.

The sudden move shocked David even if he jumped.

Even a lot of wine bottles fell to the ground, and then smashed to pieces.

"Are you more energetic? No matter what happened, even if Sasha is dead, we must be able to revive her. You should be very clear about this. You have to cheer up to change the status quo! "

Listening to Jiang Chen's slightly serious words, David's eyes finally regained some color, but it was still difficult to change that decadent atmosphere.

"Yeah, I have the ability, but when was that? Or maybe I didn't wait for a group of friends with similar abilities to join the group when I died?"

"Brother Chen, I'm not you. My talents and abilities are limited, and I can't change this sick world with my own strength!"

He has a good chat group.

But he is not like Jiang Chen, who has sufficient points and the talent to quickly improve his strength.

This also means that according to the normal situation, compared with Jiang Chen's growth cycle, his growth cycle will definitely show exponential growth.

In this case, relying on the current abilities in the group, at best he can only become a relatively powerful cyberpunk lone wolf.

But relying on this ability, if the company wants to kill him and those he wants to protect.

It's as easy as squeezing an ant to death.

This is the fact that he feels.

Just like Sasha, even though he is powerful, he is not dead silently.

Recalling these painful truths, David's eyes turned red again immediately, and he wanted to take another sip of white wine.

He had already lost someone he cared about once, and he didn't want his mother to follow in this footsteps again.

Perhaps as long as he can live a peaceful life without being chased by the company like he is now, he is already a very lucky thing.

He was already afraid, he was afraid of losing his most important thing again.

However, Jiang Chen looked into David's eyes the next moment, and said to him seriously.

"No, you have this ability and talent, the previous you just didn't find the right path!"

"Do you still remember what I said to you first? If you can cultivate this ability to proficiency or even perfection, then let alone a company, it is just a matter of thought if you want to rule the world."

"When the time comes, if you think about it, you can change everything!"

In Jiang Chen's eyes, David's biggest problem right now is that the skills he exchanges in the shared space are miscellaneous but not refined.

Every ability can indeed play a good role when being a mercenary, but it is difficult to produce a qualitative change.

But Divine Machine Hundred Alchemy is completely different.

Once David developed this skill in the cyberpunk world.

He alone can lead a new unification war, not to mention change the social atmosphere.

This is the power of Eight Magic Skills!
When this method of creating chaos in the world under one person comes to the cyberpunk world, the sensation it causes will only be more violent than that under one person.

What's more, when the most capable person is far from alone, once David has his own power.

The terrifying amplitude and absolute dominance brought by the divine machine will definitely make all companies in this world feel terrified.

And what Jiang Chen explained right now is to make David clearly realize that his future is definitely not as bleak as he thought.

Looking at David who finally raised his head and even forgot to breathe because of his emotions.

The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth finally curved slightly.

Sure enough, he was hooked.

thought here.

The next moment, Jiang Chen's devilish whispers also lingered in David's ears, causing the decadent young man in front of him to suddenly open his eyes wide and his breathing became short of breath.

"Young man, do you desire power?"

　good morning!
