Chapter 668 David's Low Point

The successful broadcast of the first episode finally made little Gilbert feel a little relaxed.

To be honest, he was actually worried about whether this work would be liked by the market and accepted by the audience. This is a drama adapted from a popular anime in the previous life, and the audience might not like it if the production method was changed.

But the fact is that there will always be people who will accept and like good works.

The data from this premiere was quite good, which gave Gilbert Jr. some reassurance, and the subsequent plans for the Cyberpunk series can be carried out smoothly.

Little Gilbert went to rest peacefully, but the online media was quite lively at this time.

Compared to traditional media, online media reacts much faster. Almost as soon as the data for the premiere of "Edge Walker" came out, the online news flash was immediately released.

"The first episode of Edgewalker's premiere had explosive data, breaking the premiere record that had been dormant for many years."

"The online word-of-mouth has exploded, and Edgewalker has sparked widespread discussion."

“The wonderful dystopian world constructed by Gilbert Jr. and the mapping of Night City to reality make the story seem particularly real and credible.”

“It is reported that this is only the first work in the cyberpunk world. According to the original book and the board game, there are still a lot of stories to be told later.”

Discussions among the audience were also lively, with many viewers getting so excited after watching the show that they took some time out while waiting for the second episode to express their excitement.

"Wow, so cool, this Edgewalker is so cool."

"I love this show so much. I want a prosthetic body and a mantis blade."

"I can't wait to buy some merch, the designs are so cool."

“The battle between Adam Hammer and Morgan Blackhand made my blood boil, and the prosperity of Night City also deeply attracted me. I want to live in such a world.”

"Don't, don't you see the homeless people and drug addicts in there? There are also violent gangs and crimes everywhere, it's very dangerous."

"But in fact, this is also an opportunity for ambitious people."

"I think Night City is very similar to Detroit, with the same homeless people and the same gang violence."

“Why do I feel more like Los Angeles or New York?”

"Don't discuss it, season two has started."

"Let's go, let's go. I want to know what happens next."

Johnny and Paul continued to watch the second episode. In order to raise money for his mother's surgery, David returned home and searched, but unexpectedly found the items his mother had hidden.

After some searching, David learned that this was a military-grade Sianwestin implant.

David looked at the implant and fell into deep thought. On the way to school the next day, David once again stared at the holographic goldfish, thinking that he could meet the smoking blonde girl again.

But unexpectedly, the girl did not see him, but saw Shengnan and his gang.

"Fuck! Why do Shengnan and the others think they are so high and mighty as to belittle and insult David?" Irene was quite dissatisfied.

Zhao Jieke seemed to feel that Chinese people were at the bottom of the contempt chain in North American society. Zhao Jieke had encountered such scenes many times before, but this was obviously something Irene had never experienced.

"That's normal. I understand, Irene. Not everyone is as kind as you." Zhao Jieke said, "When you don't have absolute strength, you can only choose to be tolerant and smile without resistance."

Irene was unhappy: "Don't you have any courage?"

"Have courage, just like David." Zhao Jieke pointed at David on TV.

Shengnan became more aggressive and even insulted David's mother. David could no longer bear it and attacked. But Shengnan had a high-level martial arts chip, so David could not beat her and was beaten to a bloody mess. To make matters worse, the hospital called and said that David's mother had passed away.

This is the low point of the plot, and the audience falls to the bottom along with David's mood.

David was at a loss as he listened to the doctor's emotionless speech. Because they had chosen the cheapest package, there was no guarantee that there would be no accidents even if the operation was successful.

Julia Roberts' cameo ended with this line.

Although she appeared on screen for a short time, her image as a mother who loves her children was established, and it also provided the audience with the motivation for David's change.

David walked home in a daze, and the narration included various debt collection voices, such as the maintenance costs of the school system, the rent of the apartment, and the surgery fees.

Coupled with the sad song sung softly by Avril Lavigne, the atmosphere reached its climax.

Johnny clenched his fist and said, "This is a hell of a world. Is there any way to survive?"

Alex and Valerie were deeply touched: "We lived in this kind of world before, and we still had the opportunity to fight for a better life, but what about David?"

Night City looks even more despairing than the real world. The high-rise buildings that the rail trains pass through are like mountains, making it hard to breathe.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

The suffocating and repressed emotions have reached their peak. If this continues, it is certain that the audience will abandon the show.

David returned to his home with his mother's urn, but found that he could not go in because of unpaid rent. He found the ventilation window next to the bathroom and climbed in from there.

These messages made David more and more annoyed, but what made David even more overwhelmed was the call from Shengnan.

Shengnan said that David's mother committed a crime in order to allow David to attend a private school, and advised David not to repeat his mother's old path.

In a rage, David set his sights on Sian Westin. He found a prosthetic doctor and asked him to implant Sian Westin into his body.

After the operation, David came to the school and saw Shengnan. With the accompaniment of intense rock music, he beat Shengnan up on behalf of the audience in front of the TV to vent their anger.

Back in his apartment, David continued to stare at his mother's urn in a daze. He couldn't believe that his mother had died just like that.

On the other hand, the school board watched the video of David beating Shengnan and thought that David had some value. They decided to use him as a test subject for a new product.

The audience was even more angry when they saw this. Was David going to be reduced to being a human experiment? But he had installed the Sian Westin, so he should be able to resist, right?

At the same time, this kind of plot of using people as experimental subjects can also make people think of reality. You know, many laboratories, such as the famous Fort Detrick, have reported many news reports of arresting people for experiments.

This kind of plot that can be associated with reality makes the audience hate it even more.

Most of the second episode was very annoying, but the audience was looking forward to it. The director can't keep abusing the protagonist, right? He has to give him a chance, right?
Johnny has sworn that if he continues to be so cruel, he will send razor blades, wreaths, and trucks to little Gilbert...

After waking up, David put on his mother's clothes and wandered alone on the street. While looking at the scenery outside the window of the train, he accidentally ran into the blonde girl who was stealing implants.

Scarlett's role has finally arrived. The girl has recently resumed training and is currently filming "Iron Man 2", and will be filming "Captain America" ​​next.

As they had nothing to do tonight, the main creators of "Iron Man 2" watched the series together in front of the TV. Scarlett also took photos and posted them on social media.

Seeing that she finally made her official appearance, she took a selfie, and behind her, she could see director Jon Favreau, starring Robert Downey Jr., Kate Beckinsale and others.

"Finally I see my appearance. I hope everyone will like this character."

It was just posted not long ago, but not many people liked, commented or forwarded it. Everyone was watching the drama seriously and had no time to go online.
