Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 520 133.Friends
"Andy's baton swing is powerful and his kick is accurate. Andy's data is really professional. Even if it is just a virtual training, it gives me the feeling that Andy is enforcing the law."

Looking at the screen, Jack exclaimed in amazement: "It's just that Sei Xuan, who was beaten and screaming, looks a bit miserable."

Watching the screen where Nobuo Arasakase was chased and beaten with an electric baton because he tried Andy's data out of curiosity, and was unable to pull out the King Kong in his hand to fire a shot, and was chased in the virtual factory and was covered in dust, it was hard for Oliver not to think of his past experiences.

"Is it the same when you watched me having fun?"

"No, Lai Xuan was much more embarrassed than you. At least you were not chased and beaten even though you were beaten up at that time."

Listening to Jack's words, Oliver's eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous look:

"I mean, is there a possibility that the one we usually use has the lethal option checked, but Lai Xuan is using the law enforcement escape training without the lethal option checked, which only has a 30% pain rate? Compared to him, I didn't even have time to be chased and beaten, and I died?"

"Is this happening?"

Jack wanted to appear more honest, but that face couldn't serve as a disguise in front of his brothers.

"I remember that you guys only told me that I could cancel the lethal option very late."

"hey-hey."

Facing Oliver's glare, Jack could only say that he was too full at the time and forgot about it.

"But I feel that the reason why Mr. Nobuyuki was chased and beaten might also be partly due to his fighting style."

Carl was seriously judging the client's ability:
"The King Kong Freedom he held was from the early 21st century. Even though it had been modified, its design was still old-fashioned. It was not as useful as modern pistols, and it did not have a tracking function. You had to aim manually. But he had obviously not been in combat for a long time. His dodging movements were so unfamiliar. He was hit by another stick."

Looking at the Arasakase Nobuyuki who was twitching due to the electric shock in the picture, Carl felt that there was still something worthy of admiration about Arasakase Nobuyuki.

That is, he never called for a stop.

Chip training, even if the pain sensation is reduced to only 30%, being hit by Andy's modified electric baton is no less than being shocked by an ordinary electric baton in reality. Now, seeing white smoke coming out of the body of Nobuyuki Arasakase in the virtual world and he is about to be electrocuted, he can still get up and run away. His willpower is truly amazing.

Arasakase Nobuyuki knew that the lethal option was not enabled, so the only way for him to leave the training was to stop it himself, but he refused to stop and just took the electric shock like that. It must be said that he looked a bit like a tough guy.

This is real training.

Carl thought about what he had heard. When he was young, Arasaka Nobuyuki formed an organization on the streets to resist Arasaka Saburo. It was thought that after so many years of returning to the company, all that remained of Arasaka Nobuyuki were his street social skills and dietary adaptations. He did not expect that his will was still so firm.

Watching Arasakase Nobuyuki becoming more and more skilled in dodging and occasionally firing back, Carl discovered something very interesting.

Arasakase Nobuyuki has gradually regained his past feeling.

To be honest, Carl didn't actually expect Arasaka Nobuyuki to really train seriously. For him, handing over the training chip was just an attempt. He wanted to see if this former rebel of the Arasaka family was consistent with his feelings and still had that street passion. As a result, he found that he really hadn't changed.

Or rather, it was rediscovered.

For street people, the pursuit of strength should not be slackened. The moment he stops running, he can already quit the streets. However, Arasakase Nobuyuki is rediscovering that feeling after working in the company for many years.

His movements became more agile, his actions more familiar, and that sense of passion was fully on display in front of Carl.

"Fuck, try it again!"

After listening to the shouting on the screen, Carl patted his ears as he saw Arasakase Nobuyuki lying on the ground due to the electric shock from the virtual Andy.

what the hell.

Isn't this just letting out the fire in my heart? I have to say that compared to the corporate dog who always seems to be restrained, his words are well-organized, and every word seems to be important, the rude words of the street people are more appropriate when they are shouted out by Arasakaze Nobuyuki.

"huhuhuhu"

After two hours, Arasakase Nobuyuki, who was sweating all over, removed the chip.

"I haven't had any activities for a long time. It's exciting to try it after a long time."

"Virtual training isn't really an activity."

"In our old days, if we wanted to warm up, we had to find a special gang to fight with."

While answering Carl's words, Arasakase Nobuyuki picked up King Kong from the round table in front of him, and then moved his hand slightly, and King Kong turned a circle and was held steadily in his hand.

"It feels like there is a difference between virtual reality and reality. It's a bit slow."

After saying this, Arasakase Nobuyuki looked at Carl and said, "I want to practice shooting in reality."

"In reality?"

Looking at Arasakase Nobuyuki, Carl didn't say anything like "according to your status you shouldn't take action" or "your status is not suitable for taking action."

Carl's mission is to protect Arasakase Nobuyuki's safety, but if the employer has the ability to protect himself, it would be good if the person he can get along with and has a compatible personality and can become a friend has the ability to protect himself.

"Generally speaking, my team gives fair pay to new members. But for this autonomous mission, there is no commission, so we can only search on the spot."

"Then what should I call you?" Arasakase Nobuyuki didn't seem surprised that Carl accepted his request, or rather, when he regained his past feelings, he already clearly understood what kind of person Carl was.

Carl is a person without any disguise. Anyone who has a little contact with him can understand his character and style.

And he is very similar to Arasakase Nobuyuki in the past.

Whether it is that they are similar in that they both have charm and can attract people to follow them, or that they never sink and always radiate brilliance, no one can tell.

But at this moment, Arasakaze Nobuyuki saw Carl clearly.

This is a feeling that is difficult to understand from the perspective of a corporate dog, but when you go back to your past self, Arasakase Nobuyuki can recognize it at a glance.

He is also a ball of fire.

A fire that may be different from yourself, but is also burning.

The light and temperature emitted by the fire are enough for other fires to recognize it.

This is a scorching heat that cannot be disguised in this era.

What should I call you?
Regarding this question from Arasaka Nobuyuki.

Carl replied with a relaxed smile:
"Just like before, just call me Carl."

he added.

“That’s what my other friends call me, too.”
