Chapter 24 There Are Still Many Good People In Night City!

After eating the fried noodles that were full of the sour smell of Night City, Arthur felt that he would never eat fried noodles again in his life, unless he got real flour sometime.Arthur felt that his level was not high enough to regard this sour smell as the taste of snail noodles. Maybe it was not Night City's problem but his own problem.He picked up the windbreaker hanging on the shelf next to him, put it on casually, touched his lower waist, and found that he had a pistol. Then he looked at David scratching his head in the room."Daddy will take you to school today.""Huh? Huh?"After David heard this, he looked very surprised.Since he entered junior high school, he has never been sent to school by others. He usually takes the tram to school.Although Night City is chaotic, public transportation is actually pretty good.Except for the occasional drunkard vomiting everywhere, four thieves out of 10 people, and some couple performances, and at most there are a few gangsters with shotguns in their hands, shooting around and trying to rob, in fact, at night The city's public transportation system is pretty good.Although David didn't understand, he actually didn't want to smell other people's vomit on the subway, so he nodded in agreement.After a while, the two came downstairs, and David looked around and looked Arthur up and down again.It's strange, he has been observing so hard, why hasn't he discovered where his car is?I didn't see Arthur carrying keys or anything like that.In fact, Arthur doesn't understand why buying a car with Night City's technology requires a key. Isn't it better to have a direct personal connection?After David didn't find his car, he said with some confusion: "Where is our car?"Arthur touched his chin and looked at the car casually on the street.David looked at his cheap dad and felt bad. If possible, he wanted to go out and turn left to take the subway or tram."You don't want to grab a car on the street, do you?""Don't say it so harshly. What does robbery mean? I call it borrowing! It's not that I don't want to return it to them. Yesterday, a young man from the Sixth Street Gang lent me his car. How can you underestimate the people of Night City? warm-hearted?"Arthur immediately retorted casually. After all, the boy from the Sixth Street Gang yesterday was so warm-hearted that he burned himself to ashes.If this is not called warm-hearted, what does it mean to be warm-hearted?David was full of question marks. It was only during the time when the Sixth Street Gang was first established that they could be related to Wenxinxin.If the current Sixth Street Gang doesn't help you physically and is warm-hearted, it can be considered as a very compassionate person.However, a violent factor in David's heart was instantly awakened. He was someone who watched Black Mewtwo all day long. How could he not want to try it himself? What's more, now that he has his father to support him, the sky is falling. There's a tall guy holding it up.So David immediately reached out and pointed to the side, where there happened to be a black Sword in the Stone parked.After Arthur saw the car, he immediately twitched his mouth and said, "You are really my good son. If I really rob this car, I don't think I will have to go back to Night City for a month."After finishing speaking, Arthur slapped the back of David's head directly, and then said: "You can't rob a rich man's car. If you do, it will cause big trouble, unless you want to sell the thing for money. But basically it can't be sold because no one buys it."It's not that Arthur can't rob him. In fact, it doesn't matter if he robs him. It's not like Arthur has never done it before.But Arthur won't have any problems.It doesn't mean that this matter won't be troublesome.Those who are wanted will inevitably be found by bounty hunters, and they will also be targeted by NCPD people.It's better if you just run away, but if you don't If you can't escape and fight with them, then you will be greeted by the violent terrorist mobile team."Huh? What about this car?"David immediately understood what Arthur meant, and then pointed to a shabby-looking car next to him.Arthur shook his head and explained to his eldest son again."Don't grab civilians' cars.They are their means of transportation.They haven't been maintained for an unknown period of time.Maybe you just stepped on the accelerator and stepped on the accelerator.If you don't show the temper of this car, this car will dare to lie down and show it to you on the spot. ."This is a hard lesson. Arthur once snatched a car like this. As a result, when Wang Ming was running away, he kicked the accelerator and killed the engine, almost belching.Arthur saw that his eldest son must not be found, so the target was withdrawn and he pointed at a member of the Sixth Street Gang not far away."These people have the best cars.These people have a little bit of money, so their cars will be regularly maintained and basically there will be no problems.Moreover, most of them have bounties on their backs, so even if you rob their cars, they will not have any problems."No matter what I do to you, I won't report it to the NCPD.""As I said just now, in fact, the members of the Sixth Level Gang are quite enthusiastic.Now I just say a few words and he will lend me the car obediently.You can even ask him to fill up the gas for you.If you have If you're short of money, you can ask him to borrow a few hundred euros for flowers."What David heard was a twitching at the corner of his mouth. If he hadn't lived in Night City for so long, he would have really believed it.Indeed, as Arthur said, there was no reward for stealing a gang member's car.Although they will not face the pursuit of police officers, when faced with the pursuit of these gang members, they are much more violent than the NCPD.Seeing that his eldest son didn't believe him, Arthur suddenly felt that his dignity was damaged, and he came to the Sixth Street Gang member in two or three steps."Brother, I see your car is parked here. Why don't you lend it to me to drop off the kids?"Arthur held a cigarette in his left hand, took a deep breath, and then silently blew a puff of smoke into the other person's face."Okay, okay, no problem, no problem."Thanks to the prosthetic technology, the big brother nodded quickly, as if he was afraid that Arthur would not agree to lend him the car."Brother, with an honest character like yours, it's easy to suffer losses in Night City. I think your car seems to be out of gas. How about you lend me 100 euros to fill it up?"If you raise your eyebrows, put the cigarette into your mouth, and stretch your left hand forward to ask for money, you are so confident."No problem, no problem. My brothers all say that I am the best talker in Night City. The most important thing is for the children to go to school!"The eldest brother immediately took out 100 euros from his jacket pocket, placed it on Arthur's left hand, grabbed his left hand, and shook it vigorously."I said that there are many good people in Night City, but my son just doesn't believe it. Look, big brother, I have just returned to Night City and I don't have any money. Why don't you lend me another 200 euros so that I can relax a little bit?" ?"Arthur put the 100 euros into his pocket, stretched out his left and right hands, trying to get another 200."No problem, no problem. Brother, your child is almost late for school. Take this money and send your child to school quickly."After hearing this, Arthur looked at the extra 200 euros in his hand and nodded with satisfaction, and slowly took back the mantis knife on his right hand.He turned to look at David next to him with some pride and said, "Just look at me and say that there are many good people in Night City, right?"

Chapter 25 Doctors Say I Am Healthy!

Although Arthur took his time and helped his brothers from Sixth Street to borrow the vehicle he needed.But in the end, David and his father took the tram to Arasaka Academy."What! I haven't returned to Night City for more than ten years. Why are the neighbors in Night City making such a fuss?""Isn't it just a matter of using a mantis knife to communicate with your good neighbor? Why do everyone call me crazy? It's so rude!"David next to him had his brows twitching. He had seen people cheating on his father, but he had never seen anyone cheating on his son like this.If it weren't for him being well-known near his home, he would be considered familiar with the neighbors.Maybe even the Terrorist Mobile Team had their brains knocked out."Dad, I feel like your cyberpsychosis isn't getting better. How about you take some time to go see Dr. Victor?"For the sake of his own life, David felt that he should send his father to the clinic for proper treatment.If the situation hadn't been inappropriate, David would have wanted to call the Terrorist Mobile Team immediately and send his father away.Just when Arthur was about to say something to refute his elder son, a clear female voice suddenly came from beside him."I think your son is right. You really need to go to the hospital to have a good look at your head. I have seen cyberpsychosis, but cyberpsychosis is not as crazy as you. The cyberpsychosis incident in Watson North District yesterday was Did you make a fuss?"After Arthur heard the voice, he immediately turned around and saw a head of white hair. The white hair was shining with colorful light under the sun, making Arthur start to wonder if the white hair was a wig?After all, how can normal people's hair have colorful effects? Even if they dye their hair, they can't look like this. So Lucy is actually bald?Arthur looked at Lucy, then turned to look at his big boy, and then slapped David directly on the back of the head."Why don't you have any manners, you damn kid? This is your father and my good friend, Lucy, please call Aunt Lucy!!!"Lucy was still holding a cigarette in her mouth, looking indifferent and indifferent. After hearing Arthur's words, she almost cut off the cigarette in her hand.I'm only in my 20s. You want this teenage brat to call me aunt?David Martinez was so slapped that the back of his head hurt. He held back the tears to prevent them from falling out of his eyes. He looked at Lucy's mouth and opened her mouth. She was about to speak but shut up in an instant. .Because Lucy's eyes that could kill were staring at him, seeming to say, if you dare to say those two words, you will be dead.David used to think Lucy was a very beautiful girl, but now he just thinks the woman in front of him is a crazy bitch.No wonder he could become good friends with his father. People of the same kind flock together, maybe he is also a cyber psychopath."Mama. Sorry, sorry, my child is born introverted, he is so rude! I will definitely teach him a lesson when I go back!"A look of anger suddenly appeared on Arthur's face, as if he was really sorry for his son's rudeness.Lucy took a deep breath from the cigarette in her hand, and then forced her trembling hands to stop, and calmed down her brain that was about to boil.She was afraid that if she didn't smoke, she would want to slap Arthur directly in the face."Arthur, it's not me who said you really need to go to the hospital to have your brain checked! I'm only in my 20s, and you want your son to call me aunt?"When Arthur heard Lucy say that he was crazy, he retorted without thinking: "Nonsense! I am Arthur Martinez, 40 years old.I live in the Santo Domingo area, I am married, and I have to fight until 7pm every day.I went home.I not only smoked but also drank heavily.I went to bed at 1 a.m. and slept for half an hour every day.Before going to bed, I would drink a bucket of vodka and then do 60 minutes of craft work.I went to bed and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.I slept until dawn. , I will definitely leave the fatigue and stress until the next day.The doctor said that I am very healthy and there is no need to see him again in the future.""Besides, you and Mann are friends, and Mann and I are also friends, so you are my friend. My son will be called Uncle Mann because Mann is my friend, and you are also my friend, so my son's name is Is there something wrong with your aunt?"David was nodding his head as he listened. He felt that there was indeed no problem. The logic was very strong and there were no loopholes. According to ethical relations, this is how it should be done.Lucy stubbed out the cigarette in her hand, and then threw it to the ground."Asshole, this year is 2076.Where is the so-called ethics in Night City? Can your emotional intelligence be higher? In this case, you should call me sister no matter what, asshole!! ! And the doctor said that you don't need to go to him for treatment, does he mean to ask you to buy an urn in advance?"Arthur shrugged indifferently: "Look, you said it yourself. It's 2076 now, so it shouldn't matter if you call me aunt or sister, right? By the way, you said it so early in the morning. Why are you running to the tram? Do you want to take your children to school?"Lucy took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket with trembling hands, and lit one for herself. The working social animals who were smoking second-hand smoke next to her dared not speak out in anger."It's not a team job to make some extra money here, it's just a small personal channel for me."After Arthur heard this, he shook his head, snatched the cigarette from Lucy's mouth without noticing, and stuffed it into his own mouth."Girls, don't smoke. If you want to make extra money, I'll help you. I happen to have something big to do today, and I need a hacker to help me. Don't worry, it's definitely not dangerous. It's just changing a program for me. ."Lucy was not surprised at all by Arthur snatching her cigarette, and silently lit another one for herself.Arthur is a psychopath. Do you want to argue with a psychopath?But Lucy was very interested in the mission Arthur mentioned. She was a little short of money recently, probably still short of more than 200,000."Change the program? How much is the reward?"But Lucy was very doubtful about the simplicity Arthur said. What level was it?After all, judging from his behavior yesterday and today, I feel that Arthur is very unreliable. Maybe this so-called program change is to go to Arasaka Tower to modify Adam Hammer's brain.Arthur scratched his head, looked at the information in his eyes and said: "Actually, it's nothing.It's not other people's work, it's my own work.You know, I haven't been around in Night City for a long time, so everyone treats me My reputation was questioned, which caused my business to be poor, so I wanted to change my career and become a conscientious capitalist or something."

Chapter 26 Who Said We Need To Optimize?

"That's it, how much can you offer?"After Lucy heard this, her hand holding the cigarette couldn't help but tremble. To be honest, this was the first time she heard someone ask a network hacker to handle the program.Shouldn't you find an old man with more than 100 years of experience as a programmer to do this kind of work for you?But the money that comes to her door is not in vain. Although she is a hacker, she is a programmer. She can still handle some simple things."Actually, I don't know exactly what the price should be. After I send my children to school, you can help me take a look. Then I can charge you whatever it is. If it's not enough, I'll go to Sixth Street then." Just lend some to the enthusiastic neighbors."Lucy: "..."David: "..."Lucy and David felt that the Sixth Street Gang was simply unlucky. What kind of hatred was there?No matter what, you can't catch a sheep and work hard to pluck it. It's almost bald.If you continue like this, you are really not afraid of those people from the Sixth Level Gang skinning you and cramping you!Some time later, Lucy followed Arthur to Arasaka Academy.David held the back of his head with both hands and followed Arthur, looking at the backs of the two people in front of him with complicated eyes.Should he talk to his mother about this?By the way, now is a good time to take a photo and send it to my mother. My father has tricked me, a son, so many times.It should be considered normal for you to trick your father once, right?Just thinking like this, David's eyes suddenly lit up, in a physical sense.It's a pity that just as his eyes lit up, the mantis knife in Arthur's hand was already unsheathed and placed on his neck."Sorry, sorry, David.I'm really sorry.You know, I have cyberpsychosis.It just happened not long ago.I am always a little nervous.Just now I felt like someone wanted to plot against me, so I subconsciously wanted to hack to death.He didn't expect this action to find out that it was you, my son."Arthur slowly put away the Mantis Knife in his hand, and touched the back of his head as if he was really sorry."I think my son is so obedient and well-behaved that he won't do anything deceptive, right?"The cold sweat on David's forehead gushed out like a fountain, and his back was soaked with the cold sweat on his body.Good guy, he just wanted to trick his father once, but his father almost chopped him into eight pieces.This must be domestic violence, right?This is definitely domestic violence! ! !Next to her, Lucy was holding a cigarette in one hand and couldn't stop trembling. Her eyes were constantly looking at the surrounding environment, looking quite nervous.After a while, David sorted out his emotions and showed an awkward smile: "Of course! You are my father. I can't cheat anyone but my own father! I'm going to be late for school, so I Let's go in first."With that said, David quickly ran towards the inside of the academy, while Arthur snatched the cigarette from Lucy's hand and put it into his mouth, taking a light puff."Yeah, strawberry flavor!""Abnormal! Now that the matter is done, let's leave quickly. I'm not used to staying here."Lucy rolled her eyes and quickly urged Arthur to leave him, not wanting to stay here for too long.Arthur waved his hand indifferently.In fact, there is no need for Lucy to be so nervous, because she is just an escaped soldier from the Arasaka Group.Although he is a special kind of soldier, the kind who boils his brains.But she doesn't have the ashes of Saburo Arasaka or her relationship with Hanako Arasaka. This matter is not worth Arasaka Technology spending a lot of time and energy to search for her location."Why are you in a hurry? I also want to talk to the principal of Arasaka College to see if we can provide accommodation for the children of Arasaka College.You know that Night City is really getting more and more chaotic now.I am very worried about David's safety! So I hope the school can provide accommodation so that he can stay in the school!"Lucy didn't want to hear his bullshit reasons, so she took Arthur's hand and ran outside. She didn't want to stay here for too long.Although Arasaka Technology would not take the initiative to chase Lucy's location under normal circumstances.But it's different if you bring it to your door. All personnel within Arasaka Technology can connect to Arasaka's own database. One of the more important things here is that Arasaka will actually publish some wanted notices internally.And Lucy is on the wanted list.Soon Lucy found a car on the street. Unlike Arthur's rough methods, Lucy directly used her hacking skills to steal the car.Arthur touched his chin and couldn't help but slap his mouth as he looked at the car."I think you need to go to a mental hospital to have your head looked at. This is the sword in the stone! Shouldn't you keep a low profile now?"Lucy got into the passenger seat directly, then rolled her eyes and said: "Shut up, drive away quickly, and those rich people have bought insurance.If you lose it, just go to the insurance company to make a claim.This car is used up."Just throw it towards the roadside for a long time, and it's done.Who will know that you stole it?"Arthur stopped immediately when he heard this, sat in the driver's seat and shouted at Lucy: "You fart, you clearly stole this car!"Then Arthur stepped on the accelerator, and the vehicle merged directly into the traffic flow and drove towards Taipingzhou.While driving, Arthur organized some of the information in his mind into attachments, and then sent them to Lucy."This is a new type of chip I'm researching. Its main function is to replace inhibitors. I found other programmers to make the program, but now I think it doesn't look good, so I want you to help me. Add something to it."Lucy's eyes lit up and she quickly checked the message Arthur sent to her in her mind. After a while, she couldn't help but said: "You, a cyberpunk, can still study such high-tech things?" ?Where did you get this data on inhibition?"Arthur shrugged, and proudly came up with his previous excuse: "I got it from myself and studied myself, because I am a cyberpsychopath myself, so the effectiveness of this suppressor is self-evident. "Lucy: "..."Well, she should study on her own and be her own guinea pig. Looking at Arthur's proud look, Lucy wanted to complain.But in the end Lucy held it back, and after looking at the program in her mind, she said: "According to your program, it is already perfect. There is nothing that needs to be modified. If you want If you want to optimize the programming of the suppressor, I suggest you find someone else."Lucy thought that Arthur should be looking for her to optimize the program, but who would have thought that Arthur immediately shook his head like a rattle."Who said I wanted you to optimize the program design? I asked you to help me add a few backdoors, and then limit the effect of the suppressor for me!"
