From the black robe, the battle of the heavens begins

Luxury? Too luxurious!

Qi Wei's heart seemed to have ten thousand wild horses shouting wildly.

She devoured the food like a hungry tiger, and she devoured most of the food on the table in a blink of an eye.

Then, she left Xiao's house with a round belly and was satisfied.

In a narrow and dark basement not far from the Xiao's apartment, a tall girl with short white hair was lying on a shabby sofa, her face full of resentment.

Her beautiful face was like a flower hit by frost, losing its original beauty and vitality.

This was the "partner" mentioned by Qi Wei. Her profession was also a hacker, and she was Qi Wei's proud disciple-Lucina Kushnada (Lucy for short).

In fact, during this period of time, her phone was always connected with Qi Wei, so she naturally knew that Qi Wei was in a bright and spacious luxury apartment at the moment, enjoying a comfortable life with delicious food and wine.

But she could only hide in the damp and dark basement, eating cheap pizza worth one yuan a piece and drinking hard-to-swallow garbage coffee, which tasted like 42-grade cement mixed with plastic skin.

Such a strong contrast made Lucy's mood extremely bad.

So when the time came to the next day, Lucy resolutely asked to exchange jobs with Qiwei. Today it was her turn to "show her skills" and Qiwei could "rest".

Xiao was a little surprised at Lucy's arrival, but in just a moment, he regained his composure.

He knew that Lucy was Qiwei's disciple. When Qiwei said yesterday that she had a companion, he guessed that the other person was Lucy, the famous Night City "Widow", the heroine in the original Edgewalker.

But he never expected that Lucy would dare to appear in front of him so openly.

You know, Lucy is a wanted criminal of Arasaka!

All the prosthetics on her body are high-end products of Arasaka Technology.

Not only that, Lucy herself was trained by Arasaka as a "miner" to dig out knowledge from the old network.

However, after her companions died tragically at the hands of the roaming AI, she planned a rebellion with the others, made a big fuss in the Arasaka base, and finally fled to Night City alone.

Because of this, she was wanted by Arasaka. She usually hides her head and shows her tail, and dares not even step into the central district, let alone expose herself in front of him.

However, Xiao immediately saw the reason why the other party was not afraid of his identity as a member of the company, because he noticed a prominent mark of the Mechanicus on Lucy, which was of a high level.

However, Lucy's mark is different from the marks of believers and believers. It belongs to a particularly special mark of good people.

The difference between good people and ordinary believers is that good people do not need to go through the initiation ceremony of the Mechanicus. However, becoming a good person requires a price, that is, paying a tithe.

After that, no matter what is harvested, even if it is indivisible, one tenth of it must be paid to the church. If it cannot be divided, it must be compensated with an equivalent amount of money.

Moreover, although the good people do not hold the initiation ceremony, they must also follow some of the teachings of the Mechanicus in order to obtain the protection of the Mechanicus.

In fact, the good people are also polarized. Most of them are those who do not want to be "brainwashed" but are forced into a desperate situation by large companies; the remaining small part is the rich who simply seek help from the Mechanicus, purely spending money to buy peace of mind.

Because, in addition to growing delicious vegetables and raising animals, the biggest business of the Mechanicus at present is to bless machines.

The priests can let the original power penetrate into various machines through devout prayers, thereby activating the machine soul in the machine.

The higher the activity of the machine soul, the more significant the protection and enhancement effect on the machine. And when the machine soul is very happy, it can easily break the shackles of physical rules and create miracles out of nothing!

You know, in this sci-fi cyberpunk world, although humans are no longer troubled by diseases and disabilities, they are also facing new challenges - various cyber viruses.

These cyber viruses are like demons, launching fundamental attacks on their own prostheses, causing the prostheses to go out of control, and the tragedy of burning their owners alive also occurs from time to time.

However, thanks to the powerful protection of the machine soul, even the cyber viruses of top hackers can hardly break through this indestructible protective barrier, thus truly avoiding the risk of being invaded.

For this reason, many rich people regularly go to the Mechanicus to receive blessings and generously donate a lot of money.

These people are regarded as "good people" by the priests. They are truly good people and are the capable hands of the Mechanicus to make money and develop.

Good people are also divided into levels. The more charity they pay, the higher the level, and the higher the level of protection they receive.

Lucy's level is a second-level philanthropist, which means that she has donated at least more than 100,000 euros to the Mechanicus, and can directly obtain the protection of priests of level 5 (coverage rate 50%) and above.

With the protection of the Mechanicus, Lucy is no longer afraid of Arasaka's wanted list, which is in line with the company's lurking rules.

Even if Arasaka comes to cause trouble, it will be useless. Who can prove whether Lucy is a spy planted by our Mechanicus in Arasaka?

It can be said that as long as Lucy is not too arrogant and jumps out to oppose Arasaka, Arasaka can only turn a blind eye and accept it.

As for the mercenaries, ha! It's not that Xiao looked down on them, they really didn't dare to attack the good people of the Mechanicus.

In Night City, even if you were lucky enough to kill a priest of the Mechanicus, except for his family and friends, the high-level Mechanicus might not bother to pay attention to you.

After all, in this church where everyone practices the way of machinery, being defeated or even killed by others can only mean that one's strength is not good enough, how can you have the face to publicize it everywhere, this is simply a great shame.

But if you are so bold that you dare to attack a "good person" with a hierarchical status, then I'm sorry, the Inquisition will come to your doorstep like a ghost that night to check the water meter.

By then, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for you to die!

The guys in the Inquisition will not show mercy, and will not stop until you are eaten alive and cut into pieces.

In fact, not all mercenaries don't think how powerful the Mechanicus is in protecting the good people.

There were a few mercenaries who didn't believe in evil. Just because they killed a level 4 philanthropist who donated tens of millions of yuan, the next day, the high-level mechanical priest Odson led a team to come to them.

These mercenaries were still hoping for a lucky break, but they soon found out that they were wrong.
