Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

Chapter 291 David: How did things suddenly get better? Did I travel through time?

It's a new day again.

As the alarm rang, David Martinez squinted his eyes and sat up from the sofa, yawning.

He washed, changed clothes, and prepared for school while still half asleep.

After pouring cold water over his face, David wiped his face with a towel and finally woke up completely.

He looked at his mother sleeping in the bed again and found that she was still counting bionic sheep in her dream. David did not wake her up, but gently covered her with a quilt and went out to school.

But because of this, David did not find the information chip that Gloria left for him by the bed.

Walking along the familiar road to school, everything today seemed the same as usual.

...No, something was wrong.

David noticed the problem. He had just caused trouble in class yesterday and burned the classroom system. According to past practice, at this time, the few people in the class who didn't like him should have come up to find trouble.

But today... where are they?

David was wondering when the communication ring rang in his ears again. It was the principal calling.

"David Martinez, you've arrived at school, right? Then come to my office!" The principal's voice was very enthusiastic.

David: "...Huh?"

Ten minutes later, when he walked out of the principal's office with a box full of school supplies, he was even more confused.

What is this? Oh, the latest Mewtwo headband, two sets of brand new school uniforms, and chips for various learning assistance software - all high-end products that the teacher recommended everyone to buy before, but he didn't even dare to tell his mother because he didn't have money to use them.

David's little head stopped working for a while.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What happened? ?

Three questions in a row.jpg

Did I travel through time? Or did my mother secretly buy the dead lottery yesterday and finally win the jackpot, and our family is rich?

However, when he returned to the classroom with the box, he finally saw a few familiar faces again.

One of the best students in the class, Katsuo Tanaka, and his two followers. They are the guys who bully David the most on weekdays.

At this moment, with suppressed anger on his face, Katsuo Tanaka gestured to David, "Come here."

Although his expression was a little strange, this familiar development made David feel relieved.

It seems that he did not travel through time, nor did he have hallucinations because of watching Black Mewtwo.

He just followed with the box in his arms.

In an empty passage below the company square, Katsuo and the other two confronted David.

"Hey, David Martinez!" Katsuo's face was a little distorted, his blue bangs swung, and he called David's name in a somewhat defensive manner.

"What did you and your mother do! Why do you suddenly not need to pay compensation, and the principal even gave you a special subsidy quota!"

David: "Huh?"

Katsuo's tone was mixed with resentment and confusion, but to be honest, David was more confused than him.

My brain was really harmed by Black Mewtwo?

But David's blank expression seemed more like a provocation to Shengnan. He was so angry that his veins popped out. He grabbed David's collar and the box containing the new uniform and Mewtwo headband fell to the ground.

"David Martinez! You are a freak. You are out of tune with your class and the college! I don't care what you and your mother did, but I advise you to drop out of school as soon as possible! If you leave such garbage alone, it will only pollute others!"

His words were very unpleasant, but David didn't take them to heart. In the past days, Shengnan bullied him. It was not the first time that he was bullied by Shengnan. He was tired of hearing the same few words over and over again.

Compared with these, he was more concerned about whether the Mewtwo headband that had just fallen to the ground was broken.

"Sorry, I don't understand a word you said. Can I leave? The first class is about to start."

Although David was caught, he just raised his hand and scratched the chip interface behind his neck, with an indifferent look on his face.

"…Tsk!" Shengnan narrowed his eyes immediately.

If it was normal, he would be satisfied with a few scoldings and a few shoves, after all, he also "respects his status" and doesn't like to dirty his uniform.

But today, it's not possible. It's okay that David escaped punishment for some reason, but in the morning, the principal actually called him to warn him not to bother David again in the future! ?

He is Tanaka Shengnan! His father is a member of the college board of directors!

Just a poor boy, can't he afford to offend him? He can't accept it!

Shengnan wanted to take action at that time, but thinking about the past, even if David was beaten to a bloody pulp, he still continued to come to school the next day with a thick face, as if nothing had happened. Shengnan felt that this would not let him vent his anger.

But then, he narrowed his eyes slightly, thought of something, showed a sinister smile, let go of David, and asked: "Speaking of which, I have always been curious."

"What kind of job does your mother do to support you to study in the academy? Ah! Could it be..."

Shengnan put on a vicious smile on his face and said: "I thought of a job that can make quick money in Night City. But, it's an illegal job..."

When he insulted him just now, David had no reaction, but now that Shengnan pointed the finger at his mother, David subconsciously clenched his fists.

"...It's so boring. I'm leaving!"

Thinking that if there was a conflict with Katsuo, it would only be more difficult for his mother to deal with it. David finally resisted the urge to punch this guy and wanted to pack up his things and leave.

However, Katsuo stepped on the college uniform on the ground, looked down at David condescendingly, and said, "Don't want to hear it? Then it seems I was right! It's really heartbreaking. In order to allow my son to study at Arasaka College, I have to sacrifice everything for a long time." A mother who is willing to break the law and commit crimes..."

"You guy——!!"

David finally couldn't hold back his anger and punched Katsuo in the face!

As for Katsuo, the corner of his mouth curled up with a hint of success.

If David made the first move, it doesn't count as him looking for trouble, right?

The Kuiji 400 Kung Fu chip installed on the back of his neck began to operate, and a current spread throughout his body. Katsuo arrived first, raised his hand, and intercepted David's fist!

With the support of advanced kung fu chips and expensive prosthetics, even if he strikes later, he can still beat the original David to pieces!

However, at this moment, a whistle suddenly sounded in Katsuo's ears. The sharp whistle hit his ears and pierced his brain! The whistle seemed to have a magical quality that instantly attracted his attention, causing him to look in the direction of the sound involuntarily.

Of course, such distraction made Katsuo's movements suddenly stop, and the hand that intercepted David's fist was also slowed down by half a beat, and then he was punched firmly in the face by David!

"Boom——!"

Katsuo took two steps back and fell to the sky.

"Katsuo——!?"

His two followers panicked and quickly helped him up.

In fact, David was also confused. Although he struck out in anger, he knew in his heart that not only would this punch have no effect, but it would also lead to him being beaten by Katsuo.

But now...?

After connecting all the strange things that happened today, David finally thought of something.

"Is there someone secretly helping me?"

At this moment, Katsuo was supported by two followers, covering his nose, with blood on his face and tears streaming down his face.

He twitched and looked at David: "...it hurts me to death! You guy, you broke my nose!!"

"You're finished. My dad is a member of the college's council. He can get you out of the college with just one word..."

"——What an ugly, incompetent rage."

A cold voice came, causing David and Shengnan to turn their heads.

At the other end of the passage, two figures, a man and a woman, slowly walked in with the sun behind them.

The man is wearing a classic-style gray trench coat, while the woman is wearing a company uniform. However, they all looked at Katsuo on the ground with the same look, which was a look of disdain for the down-and-out wild dog.

David: "Ah, it's you..."

Katsuo was irritated by the looks between the two of them, and roared angrily: "Who are you!? Get out of here! Otherwise, I will ask my father to sink you into the sea..."

"Dad, dad, do you only rely on me?" Li You sneered, "Without your father's power and financial resources, who are you? Even worse than a wild dog."

"What did you say -" "Your father, his name is Tanaka." The woman in uniform from behind also spoke, "A member of the college council and one of the team leaders of the development department."

She glanced at Katsuo and sneered: "He is really powerful. But what would he do if he knew that his son was openly threatening the agents of the Arasaka Counter-Intelligence Department?"

Hearing this, the expressions of the two followers beside Shengnan suddenly changed, and Shengnan also froze on the ground: "You...you said you are..."

V didn't even bother to prove anything to these young boys and directly scolded him: "Get out of here right now! Otherwise, I'll go back to Tanaka and have a good chat with him about his son's tutoring!"

"whispering sound…"

Although Katsuo was unwilling to give in, he didn't dare to bet on whether what the woman in front of him said was true or false. After all, someone is indeed covering David now, that's for sure.

"...let's go!"

The two followers helped Shengnan up and were about to leave, but Li You said: "Stop."

The follower stopped immediately.

Katsuo was angry and anxious, but he didn't dare to get angry. He could only ask: "What are you going to do!?"

Li You looked at him and said, "You just smashed your classmate's school supplies. Do you want to leave without paying compensation?"

"...No, I'll pay for it! I..."

Katsuo said, but was stunned again.

David's set of school supplies, Mewtwo's ring and uniforms are also valuable. Forget it all, but the most valuable thing is those chips. If you include them, the little pocket money he has now is really not enough to compensate. - he took out most of the money and spent it.

"...I, I don't have much money now..."

"No money?" Li You glanced at him indifferently, and that look made Sheng Nan shiver.

"If you don't have the money, then bring something else. By the way, didn't you pretend to have 400 in two arms? Just use that as compensation."

Katsuo was stunned, then gritted his teeth.

The Kuiji 400 Kungfu chip he used, but he spent more than half a month's pocket money and asked his mother to get some hard work before he could get enough to buy it. He hadn't even used it a few times before he had to give it to a Poor boy?

"I…"

"It's fair." At this moment, V beside him spoke. She nodded and said: "Kuiju 400 is also the latest model product. In terms of price, it is not much different from that box of gadgets."

She said so, and Shengnan could only bear to take out the chip, and handed it to Li You with trembling hands.

Li You took it and looked at it, then waved his hand: "Go away."

The attendant then helped Shengnan and limped out.

But at this moment, Shengnan heard the conversation coming from behind again.

——Here, Li You threw the chip to David, who was watching in a trance, and said: "Remember to wipe it well before use."

David hadn't reacted yet: "...Why?"

Li You said: "The guy with bangs just used it. If you don't disinfect it, I'm afraid you will be infected by his stupid disease, which is a terminal illness."

Hearing this, Shengnan couldn't help it anymore and spit out a mouthful of blood: "...Go, take me away!!"

David looked at the chip in his hand, then looked at Li You and V in front of him, and Shengnan and the other two who gradually became the background, and finally couldn't help laughing.

"...Haha, hahaha, hahahahahaha——!"

At first, he was a little reserved, but soon he laughed out loud, and laughed until David's abdominal muscles cramped and tears overflowed, and finally stopped.

"Thank you, Mr. Li You, and this..."

"V." V introduced himself coldly.

"Ms. V, thank you too." David thanked him sincerely and looked at Li You again.

"You helped me again."

Li You smiled and said, "It's nothing, after all, you are my apprentice now."

David: "...Ah?"

Li You was stunned: "Didn't Gloria tell you?"

David: "...What?"

"That's really good, no wonder." Li You was helpless.

"Okay, let me explain it briefly, it's like this..."

After listening to Li You's explanation, David was stunned again: "...So, my mother agreed to let me learn kung fu from you?"

"Yes."

"..."

David was silent at first, and then suddenly burst into cheers: "- Great! I can learn kung fu!!"

"Yo-wow!!"

Looking at the cheering David, Li You remembered that it was the first time he saw his childish side, and couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, although your mother agreed, you can't neglect your studies." Li You looked at the time and interrupted him, "After all, Arasaka Academy is the top educational institution in Night City. The opportunity to study here is rare. Go."

"Come to this place to meet me after school in the afternoon."

Li You sent an address to David, and David nodded, picked up the box on the ground, and said, "I understand! Li You first... uh, Master!"

"Good, very energetic." Li You smiled and patted his shoulder, "Go to class!"

"Yeah!"

David ran all the way back to the academy with the box in his arms.

After he left, V chatted with Li You for a few words.

"That's the kid, David," she said. "He's a very energetic little guy, and he still has a bit of a rebellious spirit."

Li You said, "He's a good candidate for Night City. If you want to work in Arasaka in the future, he might be able to become your assistant."

"Also, thank you for coming forward to deal with that kid. I don't want to beat up a kid."

V waved his hand: "Tanaka is just the head of one of the project teams in the development department. His team hasn't produced any significant results for a long time, and he has no say at all, not to mention that this is just his son. And I can't stand this kind of bullying kid, so I'll teach him a lesson by the way."

She said it casually, but Li You had a thought and took it to heart.

V said that Tanaka's team didn't produce any results? It makes sense. After all, Kate and Douglas in the animation also said that Tanaka kept the information about "Cyborg" very secretive during the development process, so after Lucy destroyed the records in Tanaka's mind, they kept sending people to try to recover the data and found Faraday.

V is only back to work for the first day, and is still coordinating and organizing the large amount of resources he has taken over from Kate. It is not surprising that he does not know about the cyborg.

Li You thought about it and reminded: "Speaking of which, when I dealt with Kate before, I heard them say that Tanaka seemed to be holding back a big and interesting project. Now Kate's resources are in your hands. If you are interested, maybe you can take a look."

V was a little surprised, but he would not ignore Li You's reminder, so he said: "Okay, I'll take note of this, I'll check it out later."

"Don't talk nonsense, didn't you ask me out to treat me to a meal? I don't have that much free time."

Li You did not come to David today on purpose. He originally made an appointment with V, who had just finished his vacation and returned to the counterintelligence department to have something good. As a result, he just met V behind the Arasaka Tower and saw David and Katsuo, so he followed.

At this moment, the episode has been resolved, so he nodded: "Come with me, I know a good place."
