from night city

Compared to mechanical prosthetics that break down all day long, this pair of powered arm armors is definitely better.

With this in mind, Mann took the opportunity to order two pairs.

Except his own.

I also want to give Dolio, who was once a member of the Animal Gang, a pair.

……

So, over the next three weeks.

Su Xiaodu stayed in the weapons modification room in his apartment in the Valley area, doing manufacturing in seclusion.

It took three weeks to finally produce three pairs of power gauntlets.

Except for the double pairs that Mann and Dorio want.

The remaining pair was prepared by Su Xiao for Jack.

Originally, Su Xiao wanted to help V and Lucy make a pair each.

But after Su Xiao asked them what she thought, both women expressed their dislike.

Therefore, Su Xiao only made these three pairs.

Call Rebecca and ask her to come out and give her the power gauntlets that Mann and Dorio want.

Lidya Su returned to her apartment.

I took a hot bath happily.

Then fall asleep.

This sleep lasted a day and a night.

Wait until he gets up from bed and takes a look at the time.

It was only four o'clock in the morning.

It was still not light outside.

Lidya Su lay on the bed for a while again.

I want to sleep until dawn and then get up again.

But I only slept for one day and one night.

Very full of energy.

I can't sleep anymore.

Just at this moment, a phone call came in.

"Toot-toot-toot--"

The name displayed on the tactical eyepiece is Jack.

"Hey Sue, are you up? The sun is shining on your butt."

"It's about four o'clock in the morning, and the sun is shining brightly. It's dim and bright outside, and the street lights haven't even gone out yet."

Jack chuckled: "Come down quickly, I'm already downstairs at your house."

"Why are you waiting downstairs? Didn't I give you exclusive permission as a resident? Why don't you just come up?"

"Isn't this about privacy? What if I catch you rubbing a tactical nuclear bomb in your hands and you want to kill me to silence me?" It can be seen that Jack is in a good mood, "Anyway, come down quickly, I I’ll take you to see Lao Wei.”

"Lao Wei?"

Lidya Su only felt that this name was familiar, but also a little strange.

I can't remember it all at once.

It seems like I have heard it somewhere before.

"Fuck! I've told you several times before, the best prosthetic doctor in Watson District. I should have taken you there a long time ago, but I've been busy during this period, so I always forget."

"Okay, okay, wait until I brush my teeth, wash my face, and then put on some clothes."

"Then do it faster, faster."

……

Before dawn.

The road leading to the municipal center was already very congested.

The people driving the cars are all part-time workers from the company.

Among the major giant companies in Night City, except for the "biotechnology" company, they are given six days of paid vacation a year...

Other super companies are open all year round.

And the working hours every week are super long.

I have to go to work before dawn.

You can only go home from get off work and rest after twelve o'clock in the evening.

Jack originally wanted to go directly from the Civic Center to Watson District, which was the closest.

As we all know, the shortest line segment between two points.

But look at the traffic jam on this road.

I don’t know how long the queue was in front of me.

Simply turn the steering wheel.

Watson District is bordered by both the Civic Center and Westbrook.

Since the Civic Center side is too congested, we might as well go around there.

Anyway, the fuel cost in the New Year City in 2077 will be cheaper than 55 years ago, so it won’t cost much more to go around.

……

Westerbro

It is the most economically prosperous area in Night City, and the wealth created by other urban areas will be consumed here.

The North Oak District, where there are many celebrities talking and laughing, and no white people coming and going, is also in this city.

But North Oak is not something you can just go to if you want to.

If you were not a wealthy person living there, or if you were invited, there was a high chance that you would be shot as an intruder just by showing up in North Oak.

——That’s why the last time Su Xiao and the others took action, they took a Delama taxi instead of using their own homeless-style SUV.

There used to be some homeless people who sneaked into North Oak to pick up trash.

You can often find a lot of good things in the trash can.

After tasting the sweetness, they were reluctant to leave.

Will build a nest under a nearby viaduct.

The smart ones among them know how to stop when they are good and won't stay too long.

Others are not so lucky.

They think the trash cans here are like gold mountains, filled with all kinds of good stuff, but the other homeless people in the city are too stupid to notice this.

Therefore, they were reluctant to leave.

The result is that these homeless people who remain will soon evaporate and disappear without a trace.

……

Huge billboards on the streets of Japan, as well as holographic advertising projections everywhere, quickly recede from the window.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Su Xiao asked curiously: "Why do you have to go to Lao Wei's place so early? He doesn't open during the day and only opens the shop at night?"

"No, I just... Hehe, to be honest, I couldn't sleep and wanted to secretly get a bottle of wine, but my mother threw me out. No, I had nowhere to go, so I had to come to you." Jack. One hand was holding the steering wheel, and the other hand touched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"..."

"Su, what's that expression on your face? OK, OK, I know it's a bit unkind. I'll treat you to Little Chinatown later to eat some hard food to compensate you. Is that okay? I know there is a restaurant with a particularly authentic taste. The boss is very stubborn and refuses to localize it. I will take you to try it later."

"It's almost there."

The two entered Watson District and sat down at a breakfast shop in Little Chinatown.

Soon, steaming hot ramen, soup dumplings, dumplings, and wontons were served.

Lidya Su picked up a soup dumpling and took a bite.

The taste is indeed not much different from the previous life.

"You haven't said yet, why did you go to Lao Wei Na? You just introduced me to me?"

"No, this is just one of the reasons." Jack scratched the side of his head with the other end of his chopsticks, "Didn't I save a lot of money before? So I plan to replace the old prosthetic body on my body. .”

"You also know that although prosthetics are no longer a new thing in 2077, prosthetics are also divided into three, six, and nine grades, just like smartphones a few decades ago, they are also divided into hundreds of yuan phones, thousand yuan phones, Flagship phones and so on.”

Su Xiao finished the buns in three mouthfuls: "Then what kind of prosthetic body are you going to change?"

Jack took one wonton in one mouthful and said, "I want to change my whole body, but that would make me a cybermaniac, so I'd better take my time - of course, Sean Westan."

"That is a military-grade prosthetic body, right? The Lao Wei you are talking about is just a prosthetic doctor. He also has the ability to get it for you?"

"Lao Wei is very capable. His channels are no less than middlemen. I can't say for sure about the top-notch Sianwistan, but the basic models should not be a problem for him."

The two of them ate and drank at the breakfast shop.

Went around again and wandered around for a while.

When it got dark, I drove to Victor's clinic.

Drive to the intersection of Bradbury Street and Bran Street and park within the parking line.

Jack led the way, and the two walked into an alley.

In the alley, a man dressed as a homeless man kept mumbling: "Your memory does not belong to you, or in other words, it does not only belong to you!"

"Do you really believe that those who sold you the mechanical eyes can resist the desire to peek? We are surrounded by probes, even inside the body!"

"Your joys and sorrows, your worries, and your life are just a show in their eyes!"
