Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Doesn’t Want to Become a Night City Legend

Chapter 12: Once you come to the North District, you have to stay in the North District for the rest of your life (Please read it again)
The real world is not a game, so there is no opportunity to digitize humans. After all, even if such technology exists, it would be too cruel to coldly display the numerical value of a human's ability on a panel.

The gap between people is always greater than the gap between people and dogs.

Lu Mingfei stared at his panel, silent.

[Attribute Panel] [Skill Panel], he roughly knew the concept, but he didn't expect Lu Mingze to be able to help him materialize this urban legend.

"These five values ​​represent your basic abilities. For an average human without any physical defects, all of them will remain at '3' after completing development."

Lu Mingze went around in circles with Lu Mingfei, explaining, "Before 6, you're a rookie, 7-12, you're an expert, 13-20, you're extraordinary, and above that, you don't need to know anything for now."

"You mean, my [Intelligence] has reached the extraordinary level?"

Lu Mingfei felt a little weird. He didn't even know he was so powerful.

"Of course, I've already told you, brother, you're the biggest monster. Your extraordinary status is simply due to your unwillingness to continue killing minions and subconsciously curbing your output." Lu Mingze shrugged. "How about you try installing more prosthetics? Soon you'll go insane and reveal your true strength."

In this world, the human body can undergo surgery on a considerable part of its flesh, and prosthetics are divided into ten categories.

[Frontal cortex][Arm][Skeleton][Nervous system][Integumentary system][Operating system][Face][Hand][Circulatory system][Leg].

If you want to become a hacker, the first step is to operate on your frontal cortex and operating system, find a trustworthy prosthetics doctor to insert some useful prosthetics, and if possible, get some military equipment, then you will make a fortune.

But Lu Mingfei didn't even have to undergo surgery on his frontal cortex. As a result, 99% of his body was human, making him the purest person in Night City.

Even now, with his trusted prosthetics doctor, Lao Wei, he has not yet undergone surgery.

One is no money.

Second, you need to do some psychological preparation.

The third reason is
"Anyway, now that I've gotten used to the lifestyle in Night City, it's about time I changed myself and got some prosthetics," Lu Mingfei said. "So, I need to ask Lao Wei for some time off and quickly find a way to retrieve the other prosthetics my parents left for me."

"Can you still find it?" Lu Mingze asked.

Lu Mingfei thought for a moment and replied, "It's hard to say. After all, it was placed in the industrial area, not on the Arasaka Beach. It's possible that someone broke into the house and took it away. But if it's my parents, maybe they would try to keep some of it."

——Just like they deliberately left a relic named Lu Mingze for themselves in this Night City using paper letters.

Although Lu Mingfei still doesn't know the reason why his parents used him as an experiment, he is willing to believe that there is a one in a million love in this use.

"Alright, let's put the prosthetic aside for now. Bro, besides the [Attribute Panel], your dashboard is just [Skills]. Uh, forget it, you don't know anything right now."

As mentioned before, in Night City, all skills can be put into your brain through chips, just like in The Matrix.

But in general, the [Skill Panel] is also divided into five categories.

[Hacker]: literally means someone who is good at [quick cracking] and other techniques, and uses data to kill people invisibly.

[Headhunter]: Specializes in pistols, sniper rifles, silent walkers, etc.
[Lone Wolf]: Good at shotguns, heavy machine guns, etc.
[Ninja]: Good at swords, assault rifles, etc.
【Engineering】: People who are good at dismantling items and technical weapons

Lu Mingfei believes that his best skill is headhunting. He is very accustomed to using pistols or sniper rifles. However, his talent may be first-class, but his technical level may be far from excellent.

So, regardless of the prosthesis and skills, Lu Mingfei looked at his attribute panel and thought about his development direction.

[Intelligence] definitely corresponds to the hacker school. To be honest, as far as his personality is concerned, he is indeed better at hiding quietly in the back than standing in the front and fighting. He pops his head out like a thief and spins the data stream in other people's eyes, and then blows the other person's head off.

However, the Golden Eyes, the only skill at this stage, has almost no effect on [Intelligence], but instead helps Lu Mingfei move towards the physical flow. For the hacker flow, prosthetics are a necessity, which Lu Mingfei does not have.

in short.

There is a limit, but it is locked.

Damn, game balance.

Lu Mingfei really couldn't play this crappy game any longer, he planned to confront Lao Wei today!

"So, you want to take a leave after only working for a week?"

"."

In the small underground clinic, Lu Mingfei lowered his head, clasped his hands together in front of him, like a fly, with an unnatural and flattering smile on his face.

"Ahem, Lao Wei..."

Just when Lu Mingfei was sweating profusely on his forehead and was about to collapse, Lao Wei's serious face finally relaxed.

"okay."

Lao Wei waved his hand.

"I was just kidding. Don't be so serious with an elderly person. I was just out doing some errands. It's not a big deal." Lao Wei turned back to watching the boxing match. "You've seen our business. It doesn't make much difference whether you're here or not. But you should be careful."

".Yeah." Lu Mingfei nodded obediently. He did not continue chatting with Lao Wei as before.

It was not only because he owed Lao Wei, but also because he was busy looking at the [text] displayed on Lao Wei's head.

Yes.

Ever since Lu Mingfei activated the 'Game Panel' plug-in, the entire Night City seemed to have become a game in Lu Mingfei's mind.

For example, now.

When Lu Mingfei looked at Lao Wei, a green icon would appear above his head, which seemed to mean that he had a high degree of favorability, and then next to it was written [Victor Victor], Lao Wei's full name.

And if you pay attention, you will see more information.

such as
[Currently available information]

Victor Victor

[The prosthetic doctor is talented, patient, professional, and never complains.

In his youth, the man had been a heavyweight boxer for Watson, taking second place in the regional finals, but he eventually left that life behind, preferring the simpler life of running a shop in a back alley with steady customer traffic.

He likes 'different people', those souls that have not been swallowed by Night City. If you are favored by him, he will take care of you like his own parents.

He's a man with a clear conscience, and he treats you like his own son. As long as you don't have a broken heart, I don't think you'd do anything to let him down, brother.

What's this like intro to the game?

Is this the new 'golden finger' given by Lu Mingze?
No matter what, he remembered the kindness that this kind cyborg doctor had shown to Lu Mingfei, and he would definitely find a way to repay him no matter what.

He swore.

Taking the subway, Lu Mingfei arrived at a new area of ​​Night City.

【North City Industrial Zone】

This area used to be the heart of Watson District, with many factories located there, providing jobs for a large number of Night City residents. Unfortunately, either due to natural disasters or man-made disasters, it has become a lifeless and backward area, occupied by the Vortex Gang.

It is separated from the urban area by a residential building. The reason is that the upper-class gentlemen do not want to see these factories, as they think they are an eyesore and affect the cityscape.

The most popular phrase here.

【Once you come to the North District, you have to stay in the North District for the rest of your life】

There are two interpretations of this statement. One is that the employees here do not want the boss to close the factory, causing them to lose their jobs. Otherwise, with their professional factory skills, they will not have any other employment opportunities.

Another explanation is
"Hey, brother."

His thoughts were interrupted, and Lu Mingfei turned to look at his younger brother.

The boy in the suit suddenly appeared beside him, walking side by side while adjusting his collar.

"Brother, you know, usually on solo missions like this, there's always going to be some issues that trigger a struggle. I advise you to prepare to activate your Golden Eyes in advance and show the results and attitude you've practiced this week."

"Come on, I don't have any enemies—" Lu Mingfei opened his mouth mid-sentence and changed his words, "Well, except for the scavengers, no one else. And after that incident, the scavengers at least regarded me as a near-first-class mercenary. Those maggots don't have a vengeful mentality."

The scavengers are just a group of inhuman monsters. They have no sense of companionship, so even if Lu Mingfei killed dozens of scavengers, others would not be furious.

They would always assess the risks and then take action - to be honest, if Lu Mingfei had been wearing the Arasaka Academy uniform that day, those bastards would never have taken action.

Or even if they kidnapped him, if Lu Mingfei's trauma team membership had not expired, these guys would just dump him on the side of the road.

So Lu Mingfei’s hatred value in this city is completely zero!

"Besides, I'm a pacifist. If I don't offend others, no one will offend me."

After listening to Lu Mingfei's analysis, Lu Mingze remained silent.

"Hmm~ I'm surprised you can still say that after what happened to the Kidney-Stripping Man. I remember you enjoyed killing him, didn't you, brother?"

"Fake news." Lu Mingfei shook his head seriously.

"Lu Mingfei is a good kid who is pure, innocent, and kind."
