Please call me CyberGhost King

Chapter 78 Now I’m rich!
  “Return to the past.”

Holding several meat baskets tied together in one hand and a knocked-out wild boar in the other, Ke Ling started traveling directly.

[Return to the Past] The option to choose a world popped up, and Ke Ling chose "Cyberpunk 2077".

【Travel completed】

[Current World: Cyberpunk 2077]

In a blink of an eye, Ke Ling disappeared from the forest and came to a familiar cabin.

The meat basket had already appeared, but the fainted wild boar in his hand disappeared and did not follow.

"Sure enough, living animals can't do it, right?"

Ke Ling sighed, not too disappointed, it was expected.

The hut was dark. Ke Ling put down the meat basket, turned on the lights, and opened the curtains. There was light in the house that had no atmosphere of life.

Outside the window, the Night City has not changed at all. It is still shining with neon lights, weaving unreachable dreams for everyone.

"Network connection, time calibrated."

After returning to the hut, Ke Ling's computer automatically connected to the Internet after being disconnected for a long time.

"Hi Devil, are you there?"

"Ke Ling? Are you still alive?"

"Whenever there's trouble, come to the wolf."

As soon as the network was connected, Ke Ling received several messages, respectively from Sasha, V, and Jack Wells.

Ke Ling took a look and saw that there were several missed calls, also from them, just in the past two days.

His departure this time was only about ten days, and V and the others didn't contact him in the past few days, and they started to pay a little attention in the past two days.

After all, in these ten days and a half, as long as a person is still alive, he must get a message back or something, right? What's going on if the network is disconnected directly?

"Here, Ms. Cathead, is something okay?"

Ke Ling first sent a message to Sasha, then replied "alive" to V, and "OK" to Jack Wills.

"Fuck! You're actually still alive?!"

The first person to reply was V. It was already early in the morning, but this street girl obviously hadn't rested yet.

"You asked me to say this. I'm back in Night City. I'm in the room."

Ke Ling rolled his eyes and told V that he had returned to Night City.

V didn't reply again. Ke Ling put down the meat basket in his hand and was worried for a moment. The small refrigerator in his room must not be open.

"You have to rent a big freezer."

Ke Ling made a decision, and this was regarded as the initial investment in "starting a business".

It's not difficult to get a big freezer. As long as you can afford it, no matter what appliances you want, the rental department of the building has them all.

Putting down the meat basket, Ke Ling opened the door to go out, and then he smelled a familiar smell.

Before the person at the door knocked, Ke Ling opened the door. When he saw V, his expression couldn't help but be startled.

V's hair was loose. Her red hair was soft and silky. She was no longer combed to one side and styled as usual. She was wearing pajamas, which were fluffy and looked a bit cute, but her style was different from usual.

"Damn! Did you just come back from the slaughterhouse?!"

However, this cuteness was just an illusion, and it was immediately shattered the moment V opened his mouth.

After Ke Ling opened the door, V covered his mouth and nose with a look of disgust and took several steps back before stopping. "You're not fucking dismembering the body in your room, are you? Don't go to that much trouble, just find an alley and throw it away, and the scavenger will take care of it for you."

V looked at Ke Ling suspiciously, his little face wrinkled.

The smell of blood in this room was a bit too strong, and Ke Ling's body was also covered in blood.

"How could it be possible that I made a batch of real meat and just finished processing it?"

Ke Ling opened the door and signaled V to go into the room and take a look. Don't stand at the door and yell, which would be bad for the neighbors to hear.

V pinched her nose and entered the house. When she came to the meat baskets, her eyes suddenly widened.

"You said, these are real meats?"

V looked at Ke Ling with a look of disbelief on her face. She stopped pinching her nose because the smell of blood gradually turned into the smell of euros in her perception.

"100% real meat, real meat dripping with blood."

Ke Ling gave a thumbs up. This must be the only one in Night City.

Venison, wild boar meat, wolf meat, and rabbit meat are all messy things that may not be available in Night City.

"More real than the ones from the slaughter house?"

V laughed, "70% real meat, real meat dripping with blood" is the slogan of the slaughterhouse.

But she can guarantee that the meat sold in the slaughter house is definitely not real meat, at least not real meat, but synthetic meat.

"Don't compare that insect meat to mine. This is purely natural and pollution-free, do you understand?"

Ke Ling waved his hand. Slaughter House is a sub-brand of Whole Foods Factory, and Whole Foods Factory relies on biotechnology companies.

In terms of synthetic meat, biotechnology companies are the undoubted industry leaders. They use earthworms, crickets and various bugs as raw materials, focusing on low cost.

The protein farm they built on the bad soil outside the city is the current source of most of the meat and meat substitutes in Night City, providing protein substitutes for most of the city.

Most of the "meat" sold by these Whole Foods Factory brands comes from protein farms of biotechnology companies.

"You have been out for a few days. Did you go to an ecological reserve? Or did you go to a rich man's breeding farm?
  V reached out and picked up a piece of meat and looked at it. Although she had never eaten real meat, she had eaten synthetic meat. It seemed that they were not the same thing.

For example, a popular product from Whole Foods Factory is Easy Beef. Damn it, whose beef is like that thin round strips? Those who didn’t know better thought it was duck intestines.

"You don't have to worry about it. I have channels. I can get as much as you want. You and Jack can just contact the buyer."

Ke Ling smiled crookedly like a dragon king and said very domineeringly. He didn't have to do such dangerous things. The meat he got was very safe and the supply was stable.

"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about selling this thing. If you can really keep bringing back meat, then we will make a fortune!"

Looking at these baskets of meat, V's prosthetic eye almost turned into the shape of a euro. This is a mountain of gold and silver!

"I'm going to rent a big freezer. You just watch here and don't move around."

Ke Ling shook his head and did not look at V's ignorant money-obsessed look. He turned around and went out, preparing to rent a freezer for storing meat.

"Get rich, get rich."

V ignored Ke Ling and was still mumbling to herself, looking like a standard money geek. She was already thinking about how much a piece of meat should be sold for.

This made Ke Ling dumbfounded. Was it such a big impact?

It's quite funny to say that this world has a lot of high technology, which is enough to make people stunned, but a piece of real meat has become a rare luxury.

Maybe this is a true portrayal of high technology and low life. A prosthetic body full of high technology is not even as rare and precious as an ordinary piece of real meat.
