Please call me Cyber ​​Demon King

"Who are you?"

As he said this, V pointed his pistol at Ke Ling's forehead, his once handsome face now showing wariness and ferocity.

"It's me, Ke Ling."

Ke Ling gave a French military salute and explained with a smile.

"Ke Ling? You?"

V still looked suspicious. There was indeed a sense of familiarity about the guy in front of him. His eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Ke Ling's, but the difference was too great. They were not the same kind of people at all. This sunny and handsome guy in front of him was nothing like the muscular maniac who was so rough and strong before.

"As you can see, I've become like this to evade capture. Aren't I different from before?"

Ke Ling explained with a smile, and then demonstrated the ability to "change size at will".

This ability is indeed very useful, not only in daily disguise, but also in suddenly shrinking one's size during battle. Ke Ling used this move when dealing with the half-Kakuja Uta.

When bound or restrained, the ability to escape and dodge skills, whether it's melee slashes or ranged shots, can be greatly useful by suddenly shrinking in size.

"This"

V stared wide-eyed at what was happening before her eyes, feeling a sense of absurdity, yet these things seemed so natural to Ke Ling.

"Come in quickly."

Ke Ling welcomed V inside and handed her a cup of coffee.

"Huh? You can drink, right?"

Suspicion returned to V's face, and she raised the gun in her hand again. There was a flaw! Ke Ling couldn't possibly drink this kind of nonsense!

Street V, this young woman, clearly has a very rich imagination and has obviously heard a lot of urban legends. She began to suspect that Ke Ling in front of her was an imposter.

Upon closer reflection, since this guy can change his body shape, why can't he transform from someone else's appearance into Ke Ling's?!

The more V thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and the more wary he became, leaving Ke Ling speechless.

"Don't look at me like that, I really am Ke Ling."

Ke Ling never expected that after demonstrating his ability to change his form, his own people would doubt his identity.

"how to prove?"

V sat down on the sofa, placed the coffee on the table, but didn't drink it.

This street girl didn't seem so reckless. Since she suspected Ke Ling, she naturally wouldn't drink the strange drink that Ke Ling handed her right away.

Does urinating on your tombstone count as proof?

Ke Ling shook his head with a smile, saying that he was holding a cup of coffee and was being forced to talk about such heavy topics.

"Damn! Ke Ling, you're really something!"

As soon as Ke Ling said this, V immediately picked up his coffee cup, took a sip, and then gave Ke Ling a thumbs up.

"The Undying Demon Devor Collins? What a prestigious name!"

V, with her red hair swaying, kept sighing, clearly having now fully accepted Ke Ling's identity.

After all, although this matter was quite graphic, it could also be considered a special code between her and Ke Ling.

"The nail that sticks out gets hammered down; those with big reputations usually don't last long."

Ke Ling modestly replied that this statement was absolutely valid in Night City, since there were no living legends in Night City.

"You really shouldn't have come back. There are countless bounty hunters in Night City waiting for you to show up now."

V downed the coffee in one gulp, then smacked his lips, seemingly unable to taste anything.

Ke Ling offered a very high bounty, and not only corporate employees, but all sorts of shady characters were searching for the "immortal demon" Davo Collins.

"Will they still recognize me looking like this?"

Ke Ling turned around in human form. Although Lao Wei had already given a professional answer, he still wanted to hear what Street V, this old street girl, had to say.

"Even I couldn't recognize him at first glance, let alone those guys."

V spoke up decisively; this was her honest opinion, and her reaction just now confirmed her statement.

"That's good."

Ke Ling nodded and took a sip of coffee.

A rich aroma spread in the mouth, the unique bitterness and strong fragrance combined perfectly, it was like a shot straight to Ke Ling's head.

Actually, Ke Ling didn't like drinking coffee before, but this long-lost feeling of tasting human food made him somewhat unable to resist.

Finally, he was able to eat some normal food. This was the first step. His diet was gradually expanding, and one day he would become a normal person again.

"By the way, Ke Ling, let me transfer the money to you first. It's the money I earned from selling meat while you were away."

As V spoke, he transferred a sum of money to Ke Ling. Ke Ling glanced at it and saw that there was an extra 41,000.

During his absence, Jack and V sold 60,000 pieces of meat, 41,000 of which were his share.

"You guys are really bold, daring to commit crimes against the wind."

Ke Ling grumbled, "The biotechnology company is hunting him down, and V and Jack are really audacious to still be trading real flesh at this time."

After all, selling real meat in Night City is essentially exploiting biotech companies, and during this period of strict enforcement, they might just get shut down by the biotech companies.

"Hmph, them? They think they're worthy?!"

V lay back on the sofa, striking a pose like a big boss, his expression quite "wicked and arrogant".

"I admire you, little brother."

Ke Ling bowed slightly, cooperating with V's performance.

"Actually, we were caught once. If it weren't for your breathing technique chip, we might not have been able to escape."

V laughed twice, then answered seriously that if it weren't for that incident, they might have been able to sell even more.

"How's it going? The breathing technique chip works well, right?"

Ke Ling then understood what V meant by the breathing chip saving her life; it turned out she had really met someone from a biotechnology company.

If they were just ordinary corporate employees, with V and Jack Wells' abilities, they could easily have escaped unscathed.

But what they encountered that time was a "demon-slaying squad" specifically targeting Ke Ling.

In order to capture the "undying demon" Davo Collins, this "demon-slaying team" was far beyond what was required in terms of personnel and firepower, and its main strategy was to suppress the enemy with firepower.

As a result, Ke Ling didn't get to experience it; instead, V and Jack Wells got to experience it for him first.

“It works really well. If you were to sell this chip, you could make a lot of money much faster than selling meat.”

V was full of praise for the "breathing chip," even though they didn't understand the principle at all, but that didn't stop them from enjoying the enhancement brought by the breathing method.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

As Ke Ling and V were talking, someone knocked on the door. Ke Ling reverted to her "demon form" before opening the door, where Jack Wells stood with a smile on his face.

"Hey bro, welcome home! I'm so happy to see you back safe and sound!"

Jack Wells immediately gave Ke Ling a big hug.

"Don't be so mushy, Jack."

Ke Ling replied with a smile, then parted ways with Jack Wells. He planned to transform back into human form once everyone had arrived, to avoid having to explain to each of them individually.

"It seems you're doing quite well out there."

Lucy emerged from behind Jack Wells, bringing a splash of color. She had rushed over after receiving the news and happened to run into Jack Wells downstairs.

"This guy is the undead demon of Night City, how could he not get along anywhere?"

Before Ke Ling could speak, V interjected with a smile, which earned her a glare from Ke Ling.

"Come in and sit down."

Ke Ling let Lucy and Jack into the house, and the four of them sat down in the room.

What were you talking about just now?

As soon as Jack Wells arrived, he naturally joined in Ke Ling and V's conversation.

"Regarding the breathing method chip, I suggested starting a company to sell it."

V answered, which immediately resonated with Jack Wells.

"That's right, it really works very well. I've been practicing boxing and fitness for so many years, and I never knew that breathing could produce such a terrifying effect. If it were to be sold, I guarantee it would be a bestseller!"

Jack Wells agreed, his face showing a mixture of awe and disbelief. For someone who had always been scientifically fit, breathing techniques were clearly contrary to common sense.

But how should I put it? After all, it was something Ke Ling brought out, so it's normal for it to be a bit outrageous.

Since Ke Ling's existence was already outrageous enough, this breathing technique was nothing in comparison.

Jack Wells, V, and Old V have all gradually gotten used to Ke Ling's outrageous behavior.

Lucy remained silent. She clearly lacked understanding of Ke Ling, and she had never used the breathing chip before.

"Let's use it ourselves for now. We need to think about selling it later. We don't have enough capital to support it right now."

Regarding V's proposal and the idea of ​​selling breathing technology chips, Ke Ling felt it was best to hold off for now.

Just like Pira said, they can't keep this technology. Corporate dogs are ruthless; they won't ignore any technology that can generate profits.

Hoping to get rich while the company dogs aren't looking is wishful thinking. Large companies have hundreds of thousands of employees, and who knows how many are eyeing the top and waiting to climb the corporate ladder.

For corporate employees, emerging technologies that can generate profits are the best stepping stones to advancement, and a lot of people are eyeing them.

This is no longer the period of unbridled growth or corporate warfare of the past; the current situation is trending towards stability.

Stability is the least friendly thing for newcomers who want to disrupt the market, especially after a newcomer like Kangtao, who became a giant in just two or three decades.

The pressure that Kangtao brought to Aragaka was obvious to all; no one wants a newcomer like him to emerge in their industry.

Now, once a strong newcomer emerges in the industry, former rivals will definitely join forces to suppress the newcomer.

The market share is limited. If you gain a little more, I'll lose a little. Now, a newcomer has emerged that reduces everyone's share. If we don't suppress you, who will we suppress?

Ke Ling didn't want to work so hard only to have it all go to waste, and besides, he had to consider the personal safety of V and Jack.

Doing business secretly on the black market is fine; the black market has its own rules. But once you go out into the open, it's no longer realistic to keep your identity hidden.

Ke Ling can run away whenever she wants, but Jack and V can't. If they rashly go out to start a company, they might end up losing their lives.
