Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 98 76. Seeing the World and the End of the Night
"Karl, we're here to pick you up. Hmm? Why did this guy follow you here?"

Oliver parked the Sky Hera, which belonged to Carl (in fact, he had always been the one driving it), on the side of the road. When he and Jack, who was sitting in the passenger seat, greeted Carl who was coming over, they noticed that behind him was the boy named David whom they had met yesterday.

"Show him the world."

Carl, still wearing Gaius's face, walked over, glanced around, adjusted the position of the only camera that could capture this place, deleted and changed the image of him and David walking over, then asked David to sit in the back seat of the car.

"See the world?"

Oliver looked back at David, who was sitting in the back seat as obediently as a chicken with his hands on his knees. He looked at Jack in surprise and said, "What does a student need to see in the world?"

"I have to teach him how to hold a gun when facing a real threat. He's a rare partner, and I don't want to see him get shot by an impatient thug on the street while going to school one day."

After sitting in the car, after a slight facial pain, Carl's face returned to his original state.

The pain in my face has eased a little bit, and the nerves have integrated very well. I don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

"Are you not afraid of corrupting him?"

Oliver had no objection to bringing a newcomer. Anyway, they were just going to deal with small matters like scavengers today, things that any new mercenary on the street could do. Even if there was a newcomer who would add trouble and be of no help, he could still be protected. Did a student of Arasaka Academy need to understand all this?
"It's better for a child from a commoner family to know a little bit."

Carl looked at David and said, "I have also asked him for his opinion. I just made a suggestion. It's not so much that I want to bring him here, but rather that he is very interested and wants to try it with us."

"is it really like this?"

Oliver stared at David, and although David was very nervous, he nodded firmly under Oliver's gaze: "I want to learn how to use a gun, so that even if I and my mother encounter a cyberpsychopath on the street in the future, I can resist."

"Cyberpsychopaths are not something you can just deal with with a broken gun. If you really encounter one, you'd better run away. But if you learn a little from us, it should be enough to deal with the gangsters."

Oliver said, smiling: "You are a coward, worthy of being from Saint Domingo. If the Sixth Street Gang wasn't a tough place to be now, I would have wanted to introduce you to my dad."

"Okay, Oliver, weren't you the one who was kicked out within a week of joining? And it's better to stay safe than to join any gang. Even the Valentino Gang is the same in this regard."

Jack said at the side that gangs are something that should not harm young and promising kids. Once you get involved, it won't be easy to get out. The reason why Jack and Oliver were able to quit the gang was because they had some connections in the gang. If David was involved with the gang, it would be like sinking into a mud pit.

"Don't talk so much, Oliver. Let's drive and finish it quickly. David, I'll take you to eat real pork after the mission is completed. You can have dinner at my place. When the time comes, you can take some back to your mother. Well, just say that you met a new friend in the academy."

"Real pork?! Is this really okay?"

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, my view on food is that it can soothe people's tired souls. Your mother must be very tired at work, so eating something is just the right thing to replenish her energy. Besides, I just want to see how my cooking tastes in the mouths of hard-working people." "It is only by knowing Carl's view that we can understand your eldest master's picky eating."

As Oliver drove, he kept saying, "We are all looking forward to seeing how good your cooking skills are."

"For what you said, when the food is delicious, you should eat more. Don't think about leaving until you are full."

"You don't have to tell me, it's so delicious that I can eat the whole pot by myself."

Looking through the window at the colorful scenery passing by, David listened to what Carl and Oliver said, and the tension and uneasiness in his heart slowly calmed down. At this moment, Carl handed him something.

"Here, use this first."

"this is"

David took it subconsciously and took a look, only to find that it was actually a pistol.

"gun!?"

"I've already told you that you're going to see the world, so use it to protect yourself. We will protect you, but there are always unexpected things. Since you want to learn some skills to protect you and your mother, then start by learning how to hold a gun correctly."

The gun that Carl gave was his personal pistol Kenshin.

The recoil of a technical pistol is much smaller than that of a kinetic pistol. Even David, who looks quite thin, can hold it. As long as he doesn't fire seven or eight shots in an instant like Carl, the recoil will not make his wrist numb. However, without the correct gun holding posture, even with the recoil of a technical pistol, one shot may cause dislocation of the wrist. So Carl then explained and helped David adjust how to hold the gun.

"Hold your fingers like this. That's right. It's best for beginners to hold the gun with both hands. This way your wrist will be more stable and the point of impact won't be offset. You don't need to hold it too tightly. Relax a little, just like holding a door handle. When a beginner shoots for the first time, even if the enemy is less than ten meters away, the shot may go off. Don't be in a hurry when shooting. A pistol like Kenshin is enough to blow off the head of an enemy at the street level with one shot. What you need to control is not the speed, but the accuracy."

Watching Carl's instruction, Jack also interrupted and said a few words: "Also, when shooting, you must remember how many shots you fired. Otherwise, it will be fatal if you want to shoot at a critical moment but find that you have no bullets. That moment of hesitation is enough for others to make a few holes in your body. Newbies should not think about reloading when there are no bullets. One magazine can solve most battles."

Listening to what Carl and Jack said, David nodded continuously. After constantly adjusting his gun-holding posture, in the eyes of Oliver who looked over after parking the car, he already had a pretty good grip on the gun.

just
Looking at the Qianxin in his hand, Oliver asked Karl casually: “You gave the Qianxin to David, what do you want to use it for?”

"Lexington."

Carl answered without hesitation and took out the Lexington from the car: "I went to the gun shop in our super skyscraper and asked the owner to help modify it. It is an upgraded version with enhanced power. A blade is added under the gun body that can be used for close combat. I call it End of Night now."
