Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 92 70. David's Thoughts

"Bah!"

“Woooaaaaaaaaah!”

David's body twitched violently a few times on the sofa, and he almost couldn't control himself and took off the Mewtwo player on his head.

The sense of immersion brought by the Black Super Dream was so deep that David, who was immersed in it, almost couldn't distinguish between illusion and reality.

After the scene in front of him and everything he sensed gradually faded away, David, who was sweating coldly, remembered what he was doing.

He is not James Norris, he is David, David Martinez. He is now helping a cyborg doctor he knows to experience the contents of Black Super Dream before it is sold.

This is the process that David Martinez, who is half a Mewtwo dealer, has to go through every time he gets new goods. After all, the Black Mewtwo he gets from the cyborg doctor is to be sold to people of his kind, so it is most appropriate for him to use the experience classification standard.

However, the aftereffects of this Mewtwo were so strong that David Martinez was in a trance and couldn't even recover.

"Drip."

A voice in my head sounded, and the prosthetic doctor sent a communication.

"How is it, David? This Mewtwo is a fresh memory extracted from the brain of a cyberpsychopath who died less than two hours ago. How is the experience?"

"Awesome, Doc, you're amazing!"

"Hahaha, the cool thing is that the editor JK edited this masterpiece. After all, this is unlimited, and JK is the best in this area."

"To be honest, my head is dizzy from the pleasure and I feel like vomiting."

"If you feel exactly the same as a cyberpsychopath, everyone will feel the same way. So, before you throw up, hurry up and experience the next Mewtwo."

"No, doctor. Let's stop here today."

David rejected the doctor's advice. He rubbed his head and sent a message: "I saw some familiar people in the video of the cyberpsychopath just now. The impact is a bit strong now. I have to slow down."

"Are we going to end it so early today? I was thinking that I, Zhang Chaomeng, would give you a surprise, but what do you mean by familiar people? Could it be that among the NCPD policemen watching the show in the video, there is someone you know? That would be really a coincidence and luck that you just happened to be an 'extra'."

"That's about it. Anyway, I'll take some rest first, doctor."

After hanging up the call with the cyborg doctor, David let out a long breath, feeling a little relieved from the suffocation he had experienced in the super dream movie.

Then he covered his head.

It would be fine if he really just knew someone in the NCPD police. The problem now is that the person he knew was not an extra, but the protagonist in the super dream movie.
Sure enough, there's something wrong with this.
The scenes he saw in the afternoon flashed through David's mind. Students from other classes in the school wanted to sell Mewtwo with him, and gave him money and invited him to dinner in a luxury restaurant just to reach a cooperation. But in fact, his real identity was an extraordinary figure who could instruct NCPD to watch and fight cyberpsychopaths head-on. This was too dreamy. Could he still be in Mewtwo?

Thinking that it had only been a little over two hours since I parted with them, the cyborg doctor said that this was a fresh Mewtwo from two hours ago. Did they go to fight the cyberpsychopaths not long after I left?
In other words, was he almost facing a cyberpsychosis with them? Although he knew that this possibility was unlikely, David felt an inexplicable surge of excitement when he thought of this possibility.

He has read the entire series about cyberpsychopaths and can be said to be one of the few people of his age in Night City who is aware of the threat and power of cyberpsychopaths. When he saw Carl's team killing a powerful cyberpsycho covered with military-grade prosthetics in Mewtwo simply and easily, he already had a feeling called yearning in his mind.

A man, even only once in his life, will fantasize about becoming the strongest man in the world. The strength shown by Carl and others, which is almost equivalent to strong, has satisfied David's fantasy.

Are there really such people in the world?
David looked at the Arasaka Academy uniform placed next to him.

Tomorrow, tomorrow he will see Gaius again. By then, no matter what he says, he will ask Gaius about his feelings about the fight with the cyberpsycho today. As David, who has experienced Black Super Dream and fought with Gaius for half a game, he really wants to know what a person's inner thoughts are when he is really fighting a cyberpsycho.

Are you nervous, worried, or stressed?
For the first time in his life, David felt excited about going to Arasaka Academy.

In that exclusive and oppressive academy, David Martinez saw a ray of light that he could look to.

But speaking of going to college.
David remembered one thing. He had just been so shocked by what he had experienced from watching Black Mewtwo that he had not yet told the doctor that he wanted to purchase in large quantities. However, Gaius said that it would be fine to deliver it within this week, so there was no need to rush.

What I need to do now is to wash my clothes first. I went to a luxurious restaurant for dinner today, and because I was in a trance for a while, a lot of soup got on my clothes.

The school uniforms of Arasaka Academy are not expensive for formal students. Once they are purchased, they are theirs. However, the number of uniforms one has will be determined by family circumstances. For example, David only has one set of uniforms and no spare ones. When they get dirty, they have to be washed and dried before tomorrow morning.

David has violated the college rules and regulations several times by wearing his regular clothes to school because he had no spare school uniforms. Every time, the AI ​​teacher would remind David to get a set of school uniforms, but he had to pay for it, and the final result was usually nothing. David had never thought of telling his mother about this. As long as a set of school uniforms could be washed and dried at night, he could wear it the next day. As long as he was careful, he would not be left without clothes.

"Woo - insufficient balance, stop drying."

The washing machine in the apartment stopped working.

"Mom, did you forget to pay again?"

Facing the wet clothes in the machine, David sighed. This machine downtime was obviously a common occurrence for him.

Fortunately, I found it at night instead of in the daytime. I still had a night to wring out the water from the school uniform and dry it.
If it were normal, I would definitely do this, but today is different.

David had 10,000 Euros in his account from Gaius. Gaius said that all the money earned from the sale of Mewtwo this time would belong to David. The only thing he needed to do was to buy enough so that he could make a name for himself.

Looking at the balance in his account, David calculated that after buying the Mewtwo that Gaius requested, he would still have more than 5,000 euros left, so he recharged the washing machine with a full 100 euros without hesitation.

"Buzzing."

Looking at the machine in front of him that had been operating again after he had been paid, David Martinez once again felt deeply moved by Gaius' generosity.

Let alone 10,000 Euros, even the 100 Euros he recharged now was the money he could earn by helping the cyborg doctor sell Black Super Dream for a week. The share that the doctor gave him was shockingly low.
