People are in Night City, start to add points

As for the lieutenant of the Sixth Street Gang, someone has been watching his site, and now he has probably started to take over. No one will care how the original owner of that block died. In other words, things just turned around like this. "

Having said that, Regina picked up the wine glass and took a few sips, her expression became a little weird.

"But you, David Martinez, are you really just a commoner student, aren't you an agent trained by Arasaka?"

"If I were, Mom wouldn't live with me in that crap apartment, and she wouldn't have to work eighteen hours a day."

David shrugged, not very surprised. With Regina's news network, it is not difficult to find out his identity.

His eyes flicked across Regina's glass, which was filled with transparent wine, and he could smell the strong aroma of wine from a distance, which was a familiar smell.

Damn, this woman is so fierce, Erguotou is like drinking water.

"Of course I know your living conditions, but what happened just now is hard to avoid suspicion."

Regina shook her head with a wry smile, and leaned on the back of the sofa in a very stretched posture.

"It does look like a student, but I really want to check if you have plastic surgery like this..."

"Is that why you asked me to come here?"

There was also a glass of wine in front of David, but instead of touching it, he took out Four Seasons Treasure and put it on the tea table.

"Let's talk about Bill. The reason why I contacted you is also because of Bill's request."

Seeing Sijibao, Regina's expression froze for a moment, and then she asked in a low voice.

"Bill... how did he die?"

"You may not believe it, this morning, I was just passing by, but I happened to see..."

David organized his language a little bit, and then told what happened.

"...In the end, Bill regained his senses for a short while, and asked me to kill him and say sorry to you."

"That's a new generation of electronic brains."

Regina's voice was still low, her eyes moved away from the coffee table, and she looked into David's eyes.

"Bill is an experimental body used to test the completion of the electronic brain. Military Technology wants to push this product to the market, but Bill finds that this thing is not perfect and there are still many defects. He wants to prevent Military Technology from putting the electronic brain on the market. superior."

"So he found you?"

"Yes, Bill wants to disclose the shortcomings of this prosthesis."

Regina sighed, picked up the glass again, and took a sip.

"Only this."

"Ok?"

Facing the puzzled Regina, David suddenly smiled.

"From the beginning, I wondered why Bill lived under the noses of the Sixth Street Gang. With his secrets and corporate scandals in his hands, why should he live in a place where he could sell himself to the company at any time? Even Home is too dangerous."

He watched Regina's gradually changing face and said slowly.

"Actually, you can't help him at all. Bill is waiting to die in despair... right?"

Regina suddenly fell silent, her brows were tightly knit together, it seemed that David's words made her very painful.

"exactly."

She was silent for about ten seconds before speaking again.

"I've collected the evidence long ago and even wrote the press release, but the editor-in-chief of FTF Radio has been refusing to publish it. I dare not tell Bill this..."

"Ha, the company may not care about insignificant scandals, but things like the launch of a new generation of prosthetic bodies are different."

David shook his head helplessly.

"Your editor-in-chief is very aware of this. He dragged you, just trying to sell this matter for a good price. I think Military Technology should have contacted him."

"You're right again, that old bastard."

Regina smiled wryly, and raised her glass again.

"Having been a reporter for so many years, don't you still know what they are like?"

David watched her drink the white wine in the glass, and couldn't help but say a few more words.

"Just like the reporters at the end of the [-]th century, they always said that they represented some kind of fourth power. Using press freedom to uphold justice was actually a business... The Sixth Street Gang also said that they wanted to bring justice to the city."

"you're right."

After drinking a large glass of white wine, Regina was visibly turned up, her cheeks flushed a little.She shook the wine glass back and said to David.

"Maybe it's time for me to change my job. Reporter... cough, even a dog."

David smiled, but didn't continue.

Changing her career may make her feel a lot easier and she can do more practical things, but it cannot change the status quo.

In a world where corporations rule everything, nothing can be done unless the order is completely overturned.

What can ordinary people do? Even a staunch rebel like Silver Hand is actually just venting his emotions.

He raised his head, and the fluorescent lights on the top of the box were flashing dazzlingly, outlining the logo of the bar.

It was an apple, densely covered with wormholes, and several fat worms lay on it, nibbling on the pulp bit by bit.

Volume 16: Chapter 16 No.[-]: Just A Little Miss

After saying goodbye to Regina and returning to the cheap apartment where he lived, David couldn't lift his eyelids.

The whole day of running and fighting exhausted him a lot, not only physical energy, but also the fatigue caused by high-intensity brain use. He felt like a low-end computer after playing 2077 for a few hours in his previous life. Every cell longs for rest.

As soon as he touched the pillow, David fell into a deep sleep. When he opened his eyes again, it was already noon the next day.

Mother Gloria was not at home, and there was a plate of fried sausage and some slices of bread on the table.

In fact, this is the norm in David's life. Gloria spends very little time at home, and there are only a handful of opportunities for mother and son to have a meal together.

Still so tired...

David gently rubbed his temples, feeling his whole head was sore and swollen, even after sleeping for so long, he didn't recover.

He sat down at the dining table slowly, stuffed the cold fried sausage into his mouth, and felt more refreshed after filling his stomach.

Then I washed the dishes, mopped the floor according to Gloria's message, and cleaned up the kitchen.

After finishing his work, David returned to the living room, stuffed the clothes he wore yesterday into the washing machine, and turned the switch.

Beep beep——

The machine sounded a sharp beep, but it didn't start to work, and then a line of words lit up on the panel on the cover.

【Insufficient balance, please recharge and continue to use】

Uh, I'm in arrears again...

David scratched his head, ready to inform Gloria as usual.

According to the memories left by the original owner, Gloria often forgot to pay bills due to busy work or lack of money before she was paid. out of the house.

Wait, I have already upgraded my computer to Lv3, why do I have to pay honestly?

David slapped his head, opened the back cover of the washing machine, plugged in the data cable, and connected it to the washing machine's system.

The principle of this thing is actually very simple. There is no complicated connection between the company to which the washing machine belongs and the equipment. After the user pays the fee, the company will send a signal, and the equipment will open the operating authority.

He just needs to cut off the connection between the two, and then make a few disguises to make the company think that this device has never been used.

The whole process only took two to three minutes, much easier than hacking the Sixth Street Gang's camera.

slam-la-

There was the sound of water in the pipes, the washing machine hummed, and the clothes in the transparent cover spun faster and faster.

It worked!

This can be regarded as a few strands of the company's wool, right?

David raised the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but feel joy in his heart.

He just cracked a small washing machine, but he felt that the sense of accomplishment was higher than taking down the branch of the Sixth Street Gang.

However, this incident cannot be told to Gloria, and she cannot explain the sudden improvement of network technology.Also, in the future, the task of paying fees will have to be taken over, lest my mother spend money in vain without knowing it.

Anyway, she always forgets, so she shouldn't object, right?

David hummed a song and sat back on the sofa, and began to sort out the previous harvest.

[David Martinez, level 4, street reputation 3210]

[Available attribute points: 0]

[Available specialty points: 0]

[Reaction: 3 (good reaction speed, at least able to catch the water bottle that fell off the table)]

[Physical body: 1 (with the power to bind chickens)]

[Intelligence: 7 (You can be called a genius without a doubt. If you are willing to study a certain subject for the rest of your life, it is not impossible to win the Nobel Prize)]

[Technique: 1 (If you can afford a plastic figurine, you may be able to finish it successfully after a certain effort)]

[Calmness: 2 (your body and emotions are in the same control as most people)]

After killing Lieutenant Obiang and the military technology employee named Harry O'Farrell, David's experience bar directly increased by a large amount. The experience provided by these two ruthless characters is quite rich.

Not only that, the system also reminded him to complete a task called 'Who is Justice', and the experience gained made him only one step away from being promoted to level five.

Of course, the trophies also include the Four Seasons Treasure. Regina did not take this gun as in 2077, but gave it to David.

Although the automatic aiming function cannot be used for the time being, David is still full of expectations for this smart weapon that can be upgraded. This is the first weapon he got after crossing.

He leaned on the sofa, rubbed the space between his brows gently, and thought about what he should do next.

You will be able to upgrade to level five soon, but you still need to add attribute points and expertise points to intelligence and computer. Specialization is the most cost-effective, and it is much better than adding a little to everything else.

As for the problem of partial subjects, I have done a lot of exercise since I got the system, and I was tossing outside for another day yesterday, and my body-strength proficiency level has finally risen to Lv2.

Although it is still very low compared to the already high intelligence of 7 points, as time goes by, it will always rise slowly.

It's better to upgrade early, the experience bar is stuck there, it's just a little short, it looks so uncomfortable...

David sighed and stood up from the sofa, picked up a piece of his mother's overalls and put it on, and opened the door of the apartment.

Although there is only a trace, it is not easy to realize.Compared with the beginning, the experience required for each level has been greatly increased now.

Looking for a few villainous gang members to kill?

Night City does not lack such guys, but the problem is that his current frontal combat ability is too weak. As a hacker, he doesn't even have a golem.

David left the building where the apartment was located, searched on the map for a while, and walked towards Heywood District.

There was a shop selling cyber-hacking supplies, the closest of its kind to David.

It is said that the distance is the shortest, but it takes a long time to walk. In addition, the various underground passages and overpasses along the way are intricate, and you will often get lost while walking.

Compared with the Santo Domingo area, which is densely covered with various giant factories, Heywood is much more prosperous and lively, but it is another world from the glamorous downtown.

In the shadows of high-rise buildings, there are countless dark roads. The walls are covered with dazzling fluorescent billboards and large pieces of graffiti, and garbage taller than people is generally piled in the corners.

Following the guidance of the map, David came to a commercial street under the bridge hole. After searching for a long time among various pavements, David finally found the signboard with yellow light.

"Dewdrop Hotel, open 24 hours"

Open the electronic door under the signboard. On both sides are the hotel's cash register and various game consoles. Right in front of it is a half-closed wire door. Behind the door, you can vaguely see the hacker's chair and the huge computer case.

Volume 17: Chapter 17 No.[-]: Everything that enters the world of hackers

Found it, here it is.

David took a deep breath, adjusted his expression to make himself look calmer, and then pushed the door open.

A black woman with dreadlocks was leaning against the wall and smoking a cigarette. She glanced at David and said casually.

"Little devil, I want to play games and go outside."

"I'm here to buy something. Do you have a basic puppet?"

David tried hard not to look at the golden nose ring on her face, looked around and said.
