Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 344 Leaving the Cyberpunk World
Late at night, on the streets of Night City.

Li You drove the Herrera gangster on the wide road in the municipal center.

His passenger seat was Gloria, and David and Lucy were in the back seat.

This was the first time for Gloria to ride in such a luxury car. Even though she was already familiar with Li You and the others, and David had already used the money he earned to improve their lives, she still seemed a little reserved at this time.

Li You didn't say much. Gloria had a stronger temper. She didn't need comfort or anything like that. She was just not used to it.

But tonight, even though she was not used to it, Gloria came anyway.

She turned her head and looked at David and Lucy in the back seat, who were looking at the aviation rocket in the distance outside the window, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly involuntarily.

Li You quickly drove across the long cross-sea bridge and arrived at the artificial island opposite.

This is NCX, the Night City International Lunar Spaceport.

Li You parked the car outside the Tycho Terminal of the airport, and everyone in the car got out of the car one after another.

Li You was still confirming the voyage information, and on the roadside, Mann, Rebecca and other team members were already waiting, including Aiji, Yuzi and Sasha.

"Mann! Sister Aggie!"

David saw them after getting out of the car and immediately waved.

"Hey, David." Mann stepped forward and slapped David hard on the shoulder. David, who was already more than half a head taller than before, accepted it without changing his expression, and even kept his smile.

"Hahaha, what a boy!" Mann also laughed, "You are completely different now than you were at the beginning!"

"Thanks to Master and everyone." David replied seriously.

Mann nodded and looked next to him: "Gloria."

"Mann." Gloria responded.

But here, Rebecca came to David and Lucy, grabbed David's sleeve, and said to Lucy: "I want to talk to this guy and borrow it for a while!"

Lucy didn't panic at all, and even nodded with a smile: "I lent it to you."

Her calm and calm attitude made Rebecca more and more dissatisfied, but she didn't say much. She dragged David aside and whispered.

Mann was also chatting with Gloria, but he didn't avoid others.

"Hey Gloria, how does your new job feel?" Mann asked.

"Well... I can't say I'm too adaptable, but I'm working hard, so I can't live up to other people's kindness." Gloria said.

Mann laughed: "Don't worry about that. Your son's master is greater than any of us thought. David himself deserves the treatment he is receiving!"

"Besides, your boss is different now than before... Oh, of course, this is confidential.

"But no matter what, didn't you say in the past that you wanted David to climb to the top of Arasaka Tower? Now he has done it!"

Gloria also nodded.

——Everything is different now.

Li You is about to leave, and Lai Xuan has the most to explain.

The first is the disappearance of the night demons, but this is not bad. Yorinobu, who is now in sole control of Arasaka, is not worried at all that there are no soldiers available under him. At most, the caves in the bad land need to be paid attention to, so as not to cause landslides when the time comes. The ground subsides or something.

The most important question is, if Li You leaves this world, will the brainwashing of Arasaka board members still be effective?
This is indeed worth worrying about, but Li You has already found a solution.

【Dragon Dance Mask】

[Item description: A dance mask with a dragon head, made of broken pieces. Wear this mask and dance for the dragon. If you are pious enough, you can receive the dragon's protection and borrow its divine power to be effective even across the world. 】

This mask was obtained in the world of Sekiro, and it was originally able to communicate with the Sakura Dragon Divine Crystal in his body across the world. As long as this mask is left and given to the right person to use, the thread of faith among the board of directors will not be cut off, and the brainwashing will naturally not be interrupted.

As for who should use this mask... In the end, Yorinobu chose his niece, Michiko Arasaka.

This "two-dimensional beautiful girl" in the cyberpunk world was a woman who was Adam Hammer's girlfriend in the past. Although she is a little older now, she has not lost her skills back then and is qualified for this task.

Li You has met Michiko before. Unlike Yorinobu, this person's appearance in this world is more like the setting of the board game, rather than the ugly appearance in the game, so he doesn't have any objection.

In fact, including Hua Zi, the appearance Li You saw in this world was much prettier than the one in the game. He was also wondering why Yori Xuan's appearance seemed to be copied one to one from the game.

So Li You also asked Lai Xuan before, saying that you didn't seem to have this look back then, but Lai Xuan told him that it was in order to perfectly play the role of a second-generation ancestor, so he deliberately made himself look like this.

Li You: "...You are really ruthless."

There are many other matters, but Li You has already completed communication with Lai Xuan, such as personnel changes and so on.

Also worth mentioning is Johnny Silverhand. Yori Xuan chatted with him several more times and agreed with Johnny's rebellious spirit. Johnny also understood Yori Xuan's true philosophy.

These two people, one is a representative of the people's resistance to corporate oppression, and the other is a warrior who keeps moving forward in the darkness, but their positions are originally the same.

It's just that in the original timeline of the game, V and Johnny were on the opposite side of Yorinobu due to a combination of circumstances.

Otherwise, everyone would say that Lai Xuan was only one V phone call away from success.

But now, this regret will never happen again.

After experiencing the previous battle at Arasaka Tower, watching Yorinobu kill Saburo Arasaka, and "personally" killing Adam Hammer himself, Johnny has now let go of his obsession.

After chatting with Lai Xuan, the two also reached a consensus. When Relic's technology is fully mature, Lai Xuan will prepare a body that is definitely unconscious for Johnny, so that he can be reborn, and then become the legendary rock kid again, raising the banner of rebellion against the company.

For Johnny, this is also his ultimate goal now - to work with Yori Xuan to truly work on the cause of liberation.

Compared to the rock boy who was a bit of a scumbag in the past, Johnny's situation is completely different now.

Not only him, but David and Mann, after experiencing the battle at Arasaka Tower, finally understood what Li You and Yori Xuan's ultimate goal was.

After learning about Yorinobu's ideals and years of forbearance, even an unscrupulous person like Pyrrha was speechless for a moment.

As for David, when he looked at the backs of Li You and Lai Xuan, he made some determination.

Gloria had hoped that he could climb to the top of Arasaka Tower. He had no interest in this, but now it was different.

At that moment, David made a decision, sincerely wanting to climb to the top of Arasaka Tower as his mother expected, and then stand with his master and Arasaka Yorinobu to contribute to their ideal cause.

Although he later learned that Li You was about to leave, which made him a little disappointed, his determination did not waver.

If Master cannot continue on this path, then he should play his role and contribute more!

So he had a chat with Gloria and Lucy. After a long chat, he got their support. Then he found Li You and told him his thoughts.

Li You was also a little surprised by David's new goal, but if he thought about it carefully, it was not a bad thing.

What he fears is that David, like the original world line, regards other people's ideals as his own and pays a heavy price for them. But after confirmation, David really wanted to devote himself to Yori Xuan's career from the bottom of his heart.

In this case, what reason does he, the master, have to stop it?

What's more, David is much stronger now than he was in the original world line. Having him by Yorinobu's side is also a big help.

So Li You simply contacted Lai Xuan and explained the matter. Lai Xuan agreed at that time and arranged a suitable job for David.

And Gloria Li You has not forgotten that in order to relieve David from worries, Yori Xuan also arranged a simple position for Gloria in the medical department of Arasaka Company, and at the same time directly filled up the salary and other benefits, and the trauma team The platinum member hooked up with her and David on the spot.

So now, Gloria is also a member of Arasaka Company.

Mann and the others also knew these things, so he asked Gloria how she was adapting to the new job.

As for the members of Mann's team, Yori Xuan also offered them quite generous terms. According to Yori Xuan, the people around Li You are more trustworthy and worthy of entrusting them with important tasks.

However, most of the people in Mann's team were used to being idle, and most of them refused to take up positions in Arasaka.

Only Rebecca's elder brother, Pila, originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw the reward Yorinobu offered, he rebelled on the spot and packed up his bags and went to Arasaka's technical department.

He gave too much.jpg
This made Rebecca very angry.

Apart from them, Lucy also expressed her refusal. Although she has understood the cause and effect, and can understand that under the leadership of Yorinobu, Arasaka will be very different from the past, her childhood experience still makes her unable to accept "returning to Arasaka".

David did not push her and also expressed his support. Now that the two of them have reached this point, they will naturally not have conflicts over this kind of thing.

At the same time, David still keeps Lucy's dream in mind, and he has been saving money, hoping to take her there in person soon, instead of only seeing the moon in Mewtwo.

…That was the original plan.

As a result, Li You suddenly made a decision two days ago, booked the rocket ship tickets in advance, and then just came to give them to them.

"Take it! You will go to the moon the day after tomorrow!"

David, Lucy: "???"

Li You's idea is also very simple.

I'm about to leave, but before that, I want to see you put me on the moon!
Immediately (push) now!
So the two came here in a daze.

At this time, Li You on the side had finished confirming the flight information. David and Rebecca had just finished their whisper and returned to the crowd.

So Li You said to David and David: "The flight information has been confirmed. You can just take your luggage and go in directly. I won't send it away."

David nodded, looked at Li You, and suddenly choked up again: "Master... thank you!"

Li You smiled, patted David on the shoulder and said, "You are now a man too, almost taller than me. Remember to take care of the people around you and act like a man!"

David nodded vigorously: "I know! Master!"

"...If you have a chance in the future, you must come back to see us!"

Li You also said seriously: "I will, and I will write to you when I have time. You should also take care of yourself."

Yes, everyone gathered here tonight not only to send David and Lucy to the moon, but also to say goodbye to Li You.

Because once David left, it was obvious that there would be no time to come back before Li You left.

——After all, Li You bought them a luxury tour package, the most expensive kind.

David finally gave Li You a heavy hug, then let him go and stood aside.

Gloria also stepped forward, shook hands with Li You and expressed her gratitude, but Li You only said, remember to take care of yourself and David.

Lucy looked at Li You with a slightly complicated look and said, "When we first met, I really didn't expect that something like this would happen." Li You raised the corner of his mouth: "You mean you and David ?"

Lucy: "...I'm talking about you and Arasaka!"

"...although there is also the matter of David."

She sighed softly and finally said: "Anyway, I want to thank you, you have changed a lot of things."

After Lucy finished speaking, she also walked aside and talked to David and Gloria.

Li You talked and said hello to Mann, Rebecca and others one by one, and finally it was Sasha.

She stood in front of Li You, her eyes a little confused: "Li You..."

Li You smiled helplessly and asked softly: "Have you thought about it?"

Hearing Li You's question, Sasha hesitated for a long time, and finally opened her mouth and said with difficulty: "...I still...can't leave with you."

After saying this, before Li You said anything, tears started to overflow from her eyes.

"...I still have a sister. Since my mother left, we have been dependent on each other. I can't leave her behind. Li You, I..."

Li You gently touched her head and said, "It's okay, no need to say more, I know."

After Li You destroyed the Voodoo Gang last time and rescued Sasha's sister Stella, he went with her to visit her.

Interestingly, after Stella thanked Li You at that time, she said in front of him that if Sasha didn't get married for a day, she would never get the certificate first, which made her boyfriend Bill look weird.

At that time, Stella was actually hinting to Li You, but instead she made Li You understand that Sasha and Stella had a very deep relationship, and neither of them wanted to be separated from each other.

After all, the sisters had grown up relying on each other, and they had no other relatives.

So Li You already knew today's result.

A few days ago, Sasha "chatted" with Li You, actually just to express his feelings. Even Yuzi had already understood what she meant, and Li You naturally knew it too.

So Li You didn't choose to hide it anymore and told her that there were other companions and that he was from another world and would be leaving soon.

Sasha was stunned at that time, thinking that Li You was joking, and V and others didn't take it seriously.

But after Li You repeatedly confirmed, Sasha and others finally believed her.

Sasha fell into a state of confusion at that time, and V and David were also extremely surprised.

At that time, Li You told Sasha that if she wanted, he could take her away with him and let her think about it carefully.

Today, Sasha finally has the answer, and this answer is not beyond Li You's expectation.

Li You said to Sasha: "It's okay, just like I said, I will write to you and come back to visit you when I have the opportunity."

"I have transferred the apartment in Charter Hill to your personal account. You and your sister can move in. It will be safer and more secure.

"Ah, as long as you remember to leave a sofa for me when I come back in the future."

Sasha's eyes were originally filled with tears, but now she was amused by him: "...you!"

After laughing, her mood also recovered a lot. She grabbed Li You's hand, pouted, and said, "But... others can drop everything and choose to leave with you. This always makes me feel as if I can't compare to them."

Li You laughed out loud: "How can this be the same? After all, you have family to take care of."

Sasha naturally understood this truth. She said no more, just grabbed Li You's hand and put it on her face, closing her eyes for a moment.

"Buzzing—"

The faint sound of an engine came from the street not far away. Sasha subconsciously opened her eyes and turned to look with Li You.

A Nazaré racer stopped on the side of the road, and the rider in a smart outfit got out of the car gracefully, inadvertently showing off his thrilling silhouette.

Sasha immediately pouted: "...Here we go again."

The visitor is naturally V. She smiled at Li You and Sasha: "Am I disturbing you?"

Li You originally planned to say hello to her, but when he saw her taking off her helmet, he was stunned: "...What kind of look are you wearing?"

V is wearing tight-fitting sportswear today, that's all, but her original short hair has been grown longer, with wisps of white. The light blue pupils in the past are now glowing with red, and the golden robes on both sides of her face are The body plug-in was also removed.

She looked at Li You and smiled: "How does my new look work?"

Li You: "......"

MDZZ!

"Go and dye your hair back for me, or you won't leave tomorrow." Li You said expressionlessly.

V: “…!?”

why?
This is different from what was promised!

……

That night, Li You and his party waited until the rocket David and Lucy were on took off, and then finally left.

Mann and others did not say anything more to Li Yuan. It was just a farewell, which is common in Night City.

It was Sasha who followed Li You and his group back to the apartment and stayed here for the last night.

She didn't ask for anything else, she just sat on the balcony with Li You, watching the scene of Night City, drinking and chatting until dawn.

At dawn, Li You picked up the sleeping Sasha and placed her on the big bed in the bedroom.

Then, he came to the living room, where Yuzi, Aiji, and V were waiting.

Seeing him coming out, V said teasingly: "Why, don't you stay a little longer? I don't mind if you want to be busy with something."

Li You glanced at her and ignored her at all. He just confirmed that her hair had been dyed back - but it was still long.

V noticed Li You's eyes and smiled: "New hairstyle, new life. I think it's not impossible to try long hair."

"Okay, you can do whatever you want." Li You didn't care so much, but said, "Let me ask one last time, are you sure you want to leave with me?"

"Let me tell you first, I can't guarantee when I will be back."

V smiled: "That's not what you told this little girl."

But seeing Li You's serious expression, she stopped joking and replied seriously: "Ah, yes, I have decided."

"Didn't I say that I never want to live an ordinary life? Although it is very challenging to fight with Yori Xuan, but...

"But if I join you, I can go to different worlds and experience unknown adventures. How can I refuse?"

After saying that, V paused and then said with a smile: "And I'm also very interested in you. Don't forget, we still have some unresolved issues to settle, and I won't let you run away like this."

Li You stared into her eyes, and under the smile, he saw an unwavering determination, so he stopped asking any more questions.

"I understand. Then, we will be companions from now on."

Li You stretched out his hand to her.

There was a hint of surprise on V's face, but then he held Li You's hand: "Then please give me some advice."

At this moment, V's body also flashed with light. She had been registered by the system as Li You's companion.

V also noticed: "This is..."

Li You nodded: "Welcome to join, Valerie."

Yuzi said angrily: "New companion, welcome."

On the other hand, Aggie on the side whispered: "Claire should have received the letter."

Li You: "......"

……

Everything was ready. Before leaving, Li You gave Lai Xuan one last call.

"...Really? You're leaving soon."

Yori Xuan's tone was very calm, "The car I prepared for you, the SID card V should have been given to you, right? Remember to keep it."

"When the world really changes, I will welcome you back to take a look."

Li You replied: "I will, I wish you good luck."

In the lobby of the luxury apartment, the light around Li You flickered, and Yuzi, Aiji and V disappeared.

Li You took another deep breath, opened the system panel, and selected Teleport.

A portal with flashing blue light appeared and unfolded in front of Li You. He finally turned back and glanced at Night City outside the balcony, then stepped into the door and disappeared together with the portal.

The apartment immediately became completely quiet.

In the bedroom, Sasha was lying on the bed, crying silently. On the top floor of Arasaka Tower, Yori Xuan looked at the mask left by Li You and was also thinking.

On the moon, David, who was wearing a spacesuit and walking hand in hand with Lucy on the lunar wasteland, suddenly noticed something through the movement of his belt, and turned his head to look at the earth in the distance.

"Did he leave?"

Lucy's voice rang out in David's helmet.

"...Yeah." David nodded and said nothing.

He felt Lucy hold his hand firmly, so he turned his head and smiled at her to show that he was fine.

David then looked at the earth, then at the galaxies further away, and said:

"Bon voyage, Master."
