Chapter 667 The Poor Don’t Deserve to Live
David's mother sent him to Arasaka School in the hope that he would have someone to rely on in the future, unlike herself, who had to work two jobs and still could not support herself and her son.

But because he couldn't afford the genuine software, David had to use pirated software to attend class, and was bullied by the rich kids in school, especially a guy named Shengnan, who was very hateful.

This school is for children from wealthy families, and David could not afford to go to this school. But David's mother took an improper job to pay for the tuition.

David went to school today and was bullied by Shengnan as usual.

Then problems arose with the pirated software, not only damaging the school's system, but also other students' genuine software.

The principal asked David to drop out of school. David's mother apologized sincerely but did not let David drop out. She also said that she would compensate the school and other students for their losses.

On the way back, David said to his mother, "I can drop out of school and work part-time to pay back the compensation. People like us will never be taken seriously no matter how much we study, and I don't want to be like the person in the company."

The Oscar-winning actress's power exploded, and after a brief silence, tears flowed from the eyes of the mother played by Julia Roberts.

She said that she worked hard to make money and sent David to a school that only rich people could afford because graduating from this school would give him a good future and allow him to climb to the top of the Arasaka Tower.

The schools that poor people attend only serve as cogs in sweatshops, with no path to upward mobility.

"David, you must become an elite! You must live in a luxurious residence in Westbrook, own a large villa in Green Fields, enjoy the best medical, educational and living resources, and live a life of superiority.

You must not give up at this time!"

The audience had just been immersed in the emotions brought about by Julia Roberts's actress-level performance when something strange happened.

A van on the left suddenly attacked the luxury car on the right, and the car driven by David and his mother was caught in the middle and became the focus of fire.

The BGM for this battle is an intense rock song that makes people feel manic and extremely uneasy.

Because the fire was too strong, the car David and his mother were riding in was affected and overturned.

David woke up from a coma and saw his mother lying next to the fire, calling out to her helplessly.

This scene is very distressing to the audience. They put themselves in David's shoes and wanted to call a doctor and an ambulance. However, in Night City, it was the trauma team's hovercraft that came.

David saw the trauma team coming and thought he was saved, but they just scanned David and his mother and confirmed that they were not members, and then left them alone.

And he left a cold remark: "Leave them to the city government's corpse truck."

Seeing this scene, most of the audience couldn't help but clench their fists. Then they thought about the real world, and found the same situation.

If you don't have money to pay for medical expenses, the doctor won't treat you at all, so this is again a reflection of the real world.

In this cannibalistic night city, if you don't buy expensive medical insurance, you won't even get rescue and will just die on the streets. And isn't this the case in real life?

Johnny and Paul clenched their fists as they watched David on TV screaming in despair and anger calling for his mother.

Zhao Jieke and Irene held each other's hands, and the sentimental Irene had already shed tears.

The story of the first episode ends when David faints again.

From the curiosity and novelty at the beginning to the heavy depression at the end. There is no doubt that in terms of the rhythm of the plot, "Edgewalker" firmly controls the audience's emotions and makes them follow the ups and downs of the plot.

Starting from the battle between Adam Hammer and Morgan Blackhand at the beginning, to showing a corner of Night City, to various very impactful scenes reflecting reality.

In the end, David and his mother were abandoned by the trauma team, which dealt a heavy blow to the audience.

Although we know that the protagonist will die so easily, we still worry about the fate of David and his mother. We are also curious about who launched the attack in the van and who was in the limousine.

The secrets behind this attracted the audience to explore and discuss. After the first episode ended, it caused a huge discussion on the Internet. The TV channel did not let the audience wait for long. After playing various advertisements, it entered the story of the second episode. The super fast pace made the audience unable to stop and immersed in the story.

At the beginning of the second episode, David found himself sitting outside a run-down hospital. A doctor informed him that his mother's condition was stable but she had not yet woken up and needed to be hospitalized for observation.

"Can I go see my mom?"

“No,” the masked doctor refused: “The patient’s package is the cheapest C package, which does not include the option of visiting the patient.”

"Fuck!" This sound came from the TV. Irene was furious: "What kind of medical package is it that even visiting the patient requires payment?"

Zhao Jack shrugged and said, "It's a hospital in Night City. I think there's something haunted in this hospital."

"What do you mean?" Irene asked curiously.

"Let's see how the plot develops later. This is just my guess." Zhao Jieke said.

He was right. In the game "Cyberpunk 2077", this hospital happened to be a mental hospital, and it was actually a black hospital.

This hospital openly uses the lowest prices to win the favor of patients, but privately subjects them to various abuses, unethical experiments, and even murder.

But it would be meaningless to reveal it now. The secrets behind it need to be revealed bit by bit to be perfect.

When the second episode was aired, the ratings for the first episode had already come out.

Ivanka got the latest data and woke up little Gilbert who was sleeping.

“How are the premiere data?”

"Not bad, 870 million people watched the first episode on HBO. 635 million people watched the first episode on Disney Pay Channel, totaling 1505 million viewers for the first broadcast.

Congratulations, Gilbert, you broke the first-run ratings record in the North American pay-per-view TV series market."

The data of paid channels is calculated based on the number of payments, and one payment is counted as one person. Even if seven or eight people watch a paid channel on TV together, it is counted as one person.

So in fact, there may be 20 to 30 million people who watched "EdgeWalker", and the audience base will be even larger.

"The record should only be counted for one platform, right?" Little Gilbert didn't pay much attention to the so-called record, and continued to ask: "What is the reputation on the Internet?"

Ivanka was a little excited and looked at Gilbert with admiration: "The online word of mouth has exploded, and the audience is discussing this drama very enthusiastically.

The series has attracted a lot of attention, and I don’t think many people are discussing the movies in the theaters right now.”

Ivanka was a little angry about the media's comments against Gilbert Jr.

The media said that Gilbert Jr. withdrew from this year's summer movie season because his influence in the summer season had declined. But the broadcast of "EdgeWalker" made Ivanka proud.

Even if it is not in the summer movie season, so what? In the summer TV series season, Little Gilbert is still the king.

It can even steal the spotlight from the movie market. Also, "Fantastic Four 2" was released today, but no one paid any attention to it.

Little Gilbert didn't care about that. He instructed: "Pay attention to the rhythm of public opinion and have our people flush out and control comments in time to prevent malicious smear campaigns."

Ivanka assured: "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on it."
