From ship girl to machine god

Blue Bird's ship girl core seems to have a little more functions than she imagined. In addition to shaping her hull and ship equipment so that she can be a qualified ship girl, the core can also upgrade her ship equipment and hull through built-in scientific research routes. , thereby evolving the Blue Bird into a more powerful and advanced battleship step by step.

To put it simply, it is like the scientific research line in the Battleship game. As long as she continues to evolve, she can continue to become stronger.

Of course, let’s settle down first.

If old Morgan can't stay here, he can only consider trying his luck in the Night City of 2075.

Fortunately, the ship girl is really good at fighting. At worst, becoming a mercenary in the next life is also a way.

Chapter 3 Afterlife Bar

Old Morgan drove the bluebird into the city in his old pickup truck, and just as he promised, he planned to ask his old friend to take good care of the little girl.

Just looking at the place in front of him that although not familiar, was definitely recognizable, Qingniao turned to look at old Morgan and asked tentatively: "Could your old friend happen to be the middleman Queen Rogge in the next life?" ?”

However, Old Morgan did not answer. He just pulled the unfitting coat on Qingniao's body and covered her little face.

After becoming a ship girl, Aotori undoubtedly became a woman, and because of the characteristics of a ship girl, she has absolute beauty. Although her figure has become that of a child due to the type and tonnage of the ship, if she is in such a mixed bag, If someone noticed her appearance somewhere else, she would get into trouble.

So before old Morgan came, he gave Bluebird one of his old coats and asked her to cover herself up.

Although Blue Bird's pure and beautiful little face can impress even old tough guys like Old Morgan, there are still too many beasts in this world, especially the Night City, a place where beasts gather together.

Although Old Morgan had paid special attention and revealed the Colt revolver on his waist, there were still some blind guys who stood in front of them and tried to tease the blue bird.

"Hey old man, this kind of place in the next life is not a place for people like you! Is this little girl your granddaughter? You didn't ask her to be a dancer, right?" A person who should be called in the impression of Blue Bird The mercenary with a mohawk haircut and a seriously unconventional and heavy metal attire stood up from the ground where he was squatting just now, stopped Old Morgan, and stretched his hand towards Jade Bird's face.

"You don't need this kind of little girl movie in the next life. What you want here is adulthood..." Before the mercenary could finish his words, his arm was already grabbed by old Morgan's hand.

As Old Morgan exerted his strength, the mercenary's arm was pulled aside and he screamed loudly.

But neither his companions nor the guard guarding the door to the afterlife interfered with the matter.

This was just a squabble at best, not a conflict. At most, it was just the mercenary losing some face.

The most he can do is wait for old Morgan to leave later to regain his position. He can do it if he doesn't accept life and death. The most he can do is risk his own life.

But if you cause trouble here, you will not give face to the next life and Rogge, which will be worse than death.

So even though he was cursing, the mercenary still didn't say anything else. He just retreated to his previous position with some dissatisfaction.

Seeing that Old Morgan solved the problem, Qingniao also randomly relaxed his clenched fists.

If old Morgan hadn't stopped the mercenary just now, he might have had a taste of the ship girl's fist.

Although the Blue Bird is only an amphibious landing craft of less than [-] tons, if it is punched with all its strength, it will be as good as eating an RPG head-on.

Judging from the mercenary's physical fitness and the added implants, if Jade Bird really punched him with all his strength, I'm afraid the mercenary would have to be packed in a bag.

After ignoring this small episode, Old Morgan just casually said to the guard guarding the door: "I want to see Roger."

The doorman glanced at Old Morgan, the pupils of his eyes turned red, as if he was talking on the phone through the implant, and then he quickly nodded and moved away.

"Girl, follow me closely." Old Morgan warned Jade Bird before leading her into the Afterlife Bar.

Blue Bird is familiar with Afterlife Bar.

After all, when you have a good friend who talks a lot and talks to you about the Afterlife Bar and every legendary character here all day long, you will also unconsciously become familiar with this place, where this story begins.

Only this time, I want to get to know you again, Jack, my good brother.

Blue Bird said to himself, and looked at the old Morgan walking in front of him.

She was now certain that the old man in front of her was the legendary Morgan Blackhand, otherwise she would not be able to explain the aura that the old man exuded just now.

In the past, Qingniao thought that momentum was just talk, a description given by novelists, but at that moment she really noticed something that was difficult to describe in words.

But just now, old Morgan didn't seem to be actively releasing his momentum, but an instinctive reaction similar to muscle memory, and he quickly controlled it without letting others notice his momentum.

If it weren't for the Blue Bird Ship Girl's senses being far superior to humans, it would be difficult for her to detect this subtle change.

But it was this subtle change that made Blue Bird certain that old Morgan was most likely Morgan Blackhand, and this guess was confirmed when they met Rogge.

"I thought I would never see you again in this life, but I didn't expect you to come to me today." Rogge drove away everyone in his box and asked Old Morgan and Jade Bird to sit down before asking. Said: "What do you want to drink? Is it still the same as in the past?"

"I'm not here to drink Rogge. I have something to ask of you." Old Morgan didn't seem to want to reminisce with Rogge, but said straight to the point: "Help this child find a safer place in Night City and let her Night City settles down.”

"Help you take care of your children? This is not something you would do." After listening to Old Morgan's request, Rogge showed a playful and scrutinizing expression on his face. At the same time, he looked up and down at the blue bird sitting next to Old Morgan. Then he said to old Morgan: "We have to have a good chat about this matter. Let's talk about it after we have something to drink."

With that said, Rogge ordered a drink to the bartender at the bar. At the same time, he looked at Qingniao and asked her: "Little girl, what would you like to drink? How about some Coke?"

Hearing Rogge say that he would like to buy himself a drink, Qingniao showed a slightly excited smile on his face.

The experience of having this kind of game character appear alive in front of you and interact with yourself is a very exciting experience for Jade Bird who loves the original game very much.

So she very smoothly said the wine she had wanted to try when playing games before: "I want a glass of Johnny Silverhand! I've heard before that the wine list at Afterlife Bar is named after people, and I've long wanted to try it. Got it!"

However, before Rogge could express anything, old Morgan on the side objected: "Children can't drink. Give her a Coke."

When Rogge heard what Old Morgan said, he looked at Qingniao with a smile, as if he wanted to see what she said.

However, Qingniao didn't have any objections. He just pursed his lips and said helplessly: "Coke is Coke."

It seemed that while her body transformed into a little girl, her mind was also affected, and her behavior and behavior were instinctively transformed in the direction of a little girl.

Chapter 4 Give me a job?

There was nothing to say about the exchange between Rogge and Old Morgan, because there was not much said between these two people who were nearly two hundred years old in total.

Old Morgan asked Rogge to take care of the blue bird, Rogge agreed, and the matter was settled.

Although it may sound strange that the queen of middlemen in the next life is so easy to talk to, but considering that old Morgan is Morgan Blackhand, there seems to be no problem.

And for Rogge, it's just taking care of a little girl, what's the problem?Even if she is someone wanted by the company, can't she, Roger, still be able to protect a little girl?

That would be to underestimate the importance of the Queen of the Afterlife and the most powerful middleman in Night City.

So after old Morgan opened his mouth, the matter was basically settled, and the rest was nothing more than two old guys drinking.

However, Old Morgan didn't seem to like the atmosphere in the city very much and was ready to leave after having two drinks.

Before leaving, he glanced at Qingniao and said to her slightly stiffly: "Listen to Rogge in peace, I will come to see you when I have time."

Qingniao looked at Old Morgan and was very grateful to the old man who helped him. After all, the other person helped him so much for no reason, so he should say thank you anyway.

But what she said was: "Why help me?"

"There's no reason. I'll help if I want to. I don't want to see you die near my house." After saying that, Old Morgan left the Afterlife Bar without talking to Jade Bird.

Watching Old Morgan leave, Qingniao touched Old Morgan's old coat on his body. Although he was slightly reluctant to part with it, he also felt that this old man was really hard-spoken and soft-hearted.

However, she still kept her gratitude to Old Morgan in mind and decided to repay him for his help if she had the opportunity.

"Okay little girl, he just left, but it's not a farewell. When you settle down in Night City, you can take the initiative to see him." Rogge looked at the blue bird's reluctant appearance and said: Yu kindly comforted her.

However, Qingniao just turned his head, lifted the hat on his head to reveal his beautiful little face, and said to Rogge: "The most powerful middleman in Night City, the Queen of the Afterlife, can you give me a job?"

Qingniao's opening made Rogge raise his eyebrows immediately. Although he was surprised, he was not that surprised.

After sizing up Qingniao, she said, "It seems that you are no ordinary little girl, but you don't even have an implant on your body. What can you do with your small body?"

"Small body?" Qingniao seemed to have heard something funny. He picked up the metal tray on the table that the bartender had used to serve the wine, crumpled it into a ball and threw it in front of Rogge.

This is not something that just anyone can do!

Rogge was a little surprised when he picked up the metal ball that was crumpled into a ball by the blue bird, and tried to restore it with force, but found that the metal ball that had been crumpled into a ball did not move at all.

The tray was originally made of stainless steel. Although it was not very sturdy, it was difficult to deform it with just two hands, let alone directly roll it into a ball.

Although many people in Night City have replaced their hands with prosthetics to improve the strength of their hands, gorilla arms can make a person's hands comparable to jacks.

But even so, it is difficult for anyone to be able to knead a piece of metal as easily and casually as Qingniao, not to mention that Qingniao does not have any prosthetics or implants on his body.

"Little girl, I have some doubts about whether you are human or not." Rogge did not go into details, but he also showed doubts about the blue bird.

Rogge originally thought that the blue bird was just a little girl that old Morgan picked up from somewhere, and it would not be a troublesome thing to take care of her.

But now, what the blue bird has shown is not the power that humans can possess at all, which makes Rogge suspect that her origin is not simple.

However, although Rogge was suspicious, he did not really think that the blue bird was not human. Instead, he turned his thoughts to the company's experimental products.

And this also made her understand why old Morgan sent people to her.

Faced with Rogge's suspicion, Blue Bird just shrugged indifferently.

Although she was a human in the past, now that she has become a ship girl, it is difficult for her to be recognized as a human from a biological definition.

Although the ship girl has a human appearance and is no different from a human in some settings, the blue bird with a core made of metal is not a human by biological definition.

But Qingniao herself doesn't care about this. It's not a big problem for her not to be a human being.

The reason why people are human cannot be determined by looking at the biological definition.

Rogge did not delve into the origin of the blue bird. Although it seemed that she did exceed his expectations, for Rogge, this little girl could not make a difference in her hands.

This is the confidence that comes from the underground queen of Night City who has controlled the mercenary world of Night City for half a century.

As for Qingniao, she really has no intention of causing trouble.

Although as a former cyberpunk player, I am definitely very enthusiastic about killing Adam Hammer, killing Arasaka and other companies.

But now that she has no information and no power, it is too early to do these things.

Apart from anything else, she just didn't know where Adam Hammer was.

In the original game, in order to find Adam Hammer, V and Johnny raided Hammer's men and base in order to torture out the whereabouts of Hammer, but they still gained nothing.

Even Ao Bird, a gamer with a god's perspective, only knew that Hammer would follow Arasaka Yorinobu as his bodyguard and that he would meet the Cyberpunk team in 2076.

At this point in time, which is still 2075, Arasaka Yorinobu is not in Night City at all. It is unclear whether the heavy hammer as a bodyguard is in Night City, let alone killing him.

You can't just kill Arasaka Tower without thinking about Bluebird, just do it alone, right?

As a ship girl, she is indeed very strong, but this strength has its limits.

It is indeed worthwhile to challenge her alone. Even if the heavy hammer is equipped with the big ghost power armor, it is only powerful for an individual. It is still far from being comparable to a space battleship.

But the hull of the Blue Bird is just a gadget of less than [-] tons. The amphibious landing craft cannot compare with the protection and output of the battleships with tens of thousands of tons. Even those big sisters are veterans of World War II. Same goes for boats.

So if the company can really come up with some anti-vehicle gadget, Jade Bird is not sure whether it can handle it.

She didn't dare to expect those giant companies that dared to take out nuclear bombs to blow up during the fourth corporate war 50 years ago to have any moral integrity.

Although the ship girl is strong, she is not strong enough to stick a nuclear bomb in her face.
