Please call me Cyber ​​Demon King

Ke Ling was very satisfied with her reflection in the mirror. She looked much more normal this way, and she didn't have to worry about the sunlight.

“Especially since it’s winter there, my warm gear doesn’t look out of place at all.”

Ke Ling was very thoughtful; she bought warm gloves, earmuffs, and masks, mainly because she was worried that they would be too thin and let light through.

With all the equipment ready, Ke Ling dialed V's number to inform V and Jack Wells. He didn't plan to stay too long; he wanted to scout things out first.

Although the world he first arrived in was Demon Slayer, he still lacked understanding of that world, so he had to be careful.

"Ke Ling? I was just looking for you."

The call connected quickly, and V's voice came through; she sounded like she was having a lot of fun.

"Huh? Is something wrong?"

Ke Ling was taken aback. They had only just parted ways, so why was she looking for him?

"Mann said he's going to call the hacker we introduced to over so we can meet him later. Come on over."

V replied that she and Jack Wells met Mann and his group, these cyber vagrants who liked to hang out in bars when they had nothing to do.

It's probably similar to how temporary workers wait for work in a specific location.

"Okay, I'll go over immediately."

Ke Ling muttered a complaint to herself, then left the room without delay and walked to the Laisheng Bar.

He was also quite curious to see who the hacker was, and he could also tell V and Jack Wells in person about his departure for a few days.

Soon after, Ke Ling arrived at the Rebirth Bar, and sure enough, V and Jack Wells were with Mann's team.

In addition to Sasha, Rebecca, Dorio, and Mann, Pila, the lively member of Mann's team, also came along this time.

Pila's black rooster-like hair and his arms, which were as long as Liu Bei's, were very eye-catching.

"Ke Ling, you're here."

Sasha's eyes lit up when she saw Ke Ling coming over, and she took the initiative to greet him.

"Hey Sasha, is this the hacker you guys were going to introduce?"

Ke Ling smiled at Sasha, then deliberately pointed to Pila, who had just finished clowning around.

"No, this is my bastard brother Pila."

Before Pira could speak, Rebecca introduced herself on his behalf.

“That’s right, I am the strongest technical expert in Night City, Pila. There’s nothing my hands can’t handle.”

Pila introduced himself to Ke Ling, his ten fingers moving incessantly, looking very agile, no less so than those of the United States.

Pira's prosthetic hand is ridiculously large, with very long fingers. He is a technical expert, or to put it more vividly, a DIY master.

What prosthetic doctors can do, technical experts can do; what prosthetic doctors cannot do, technical experts can also do.

Technical experts can handle everything from installing, repairing, and modifying weapons and prosthetics to turning scrap metal into valuable assets, and even defusing bombs in emergencies.

If prosthetic doctors are professional technical priests, then technical experts are probably self-taught orc technicians.

"Hello, Pila, you can call me."

Ke Ling reached out to Pila. Actually, he was very interested in Pila, this technical expert, but only in his technical skills.

If you can learn the techniques of a technical expert, it can really save you a lot of trouble.

"Very good, I've got it."

Pila shook hands with Ke Ling, his gaze lingering on Ke Ling's horn for a moment.

"Is this corner of yours mechanical?"

Letting go, Pila asked directly, and as he spoke, he reached out to touch her.

"Snapped."

Ke Ling slapped his hand away, speechless. Pila, that guy, really deserved to die; he was all about having no sense of boundaries.

The second update is here!

Chapter 54 Lucy

"Pira!!!"

Rebecca, who was sitting in the booth, shouted out, looking somewhat annoyed, clearly unable to do anything about this jerk of a brother.

"Hi, don't mind me, I'm just a little curious."

Pila scratched his face, not annoyed at all, and even had a smile on his face. This guy was a bit carefree.

"It's quite lively here."

Before Ke Ling could speak, a woman's voice came from behind him.

He turned around and saw two women, tall and with delicate features.

The one in the lead, wearing a long red dress, with bangs and a pink iron mask that only revealed her red eyes, was Qi Wei.

The one in the back is naturally Lucy, with her signature hair color, blue eyebrows, and red eyeshadow, making her highly recognizable.

"Our hacker friends have arrived."

Mann smiled and raised his glass to Qiwei. As a veteran hacker who had been around Night City for many years, Qiwei was capable and well-connected, and was an important partner for them.

"This is Lucy, a hacking genius with absolutely top-notch skills. She happens to be alone and is looking for a reliable team to work with."

Qiwei sat down in the booth and introduced the girl who had come with her to everyone.

She had a cigarette dangling from her mouth, and her speech was somewhat muffled. Indeed, the pink metal mask on her face had small holes specifically designed for smoking.

So who needs hackers?

Under everyone's gaze, Lucy remained calm and asked directly, her words crisp and decisive.

""

V didn't speak. She looked at Ke Ling, then at Jack Wells, her expression slightly surprised.

"It's us."

Ke Ling spoke up, not leaving Lucy waiting awkwardly. He first pointed to himself, then to V and Jack Wells.

Lucy glanced at Ke Ling, nodded at him, a look of surprise flashing across her face, then looked at V and Jack Wells, noticing the doubt on their faces.

"It's a two-way selection process. If you're not satisfied, you can just say so."

Lucy lit a cigarette, took a puff, and didn't seem embarrassed at all; she appeared quite nonchalant.

"Young lady, you look very young."

Jack Wells was a little embarrassed by what he was being said, and had to speak up, but to save the girl's face, he didn't say it very directly.

"What? You guys have age requirements for hackers?"

Lucy tilted her head; she naturally understood what Jack Wells meant—he doubted her technical abilities because she looked young.

"Of course not, we mainly look at ability."

V shook his head and said, "Sasha isn't very old, but she's very good at hacking."

"Let's try working together once and see what you're capable of. I also want to see your strength."

Lucy said frankly that she had heard about these people from Qiwei, but whether they could cooperate in the long term remained to be seen.

"Sit down with me, Lucy. What would you like to drink? Juice? Milk?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a bit tense, Ke Ling stepped in to smooth things over.

He hadn't even sat down yet when he arrived, and Lucy was still standing there, making it feel like an interview, which was quite awkward.

"Thank you, either way is fine."

Lucy thanked Ke Ling and smiled faintly. She had a charmingly femme fatale face, but her expression remained calm, creating a sense of contrast.

"A glass of juice, please."

Seeing that Lucy did not refuse, Ke Ling ordered a glass of juice for Lucy.

This girl looks like she's not even 21 yet, maybe 20 at most, about the same age as Rebecca. The Bar of Life won't be serving her drinks.

V is 25 years old and Jack Wells is 27 years old. It's normal for them to have doubts about Lucy's joining at first, just like Mann and the others did when they first faced David Martinez.

After all, people usually work dangerous jobs, so they don't have time to take care of their children.

It's likely that Mann's final decision to accept David Martinez was due to the presence of Rebecca and Lucy in the team, and his extensive experience with children.

Are you the team leader?

After sitting down with Ke Ling, Lucy asked him a question.

"Uh no, actually I'm a newbie, Jack mentored me."

Ke Ling paused for a moment, then answered, gesturing with his chin towards Jack Wells's location.

"Oh, I see."

Lucy nodded. She had thought that Ke Ling, this big guy, was the boss, just like Mann over there. She didn't expect him to be a newcomer.

"You should trust me, Lucy is absolutely fine. She's a true genius, born to do this. What do you usually call someone like that? A born genius?"

Qiwei chimed in from the side, praising Lucy highly and even hinting at a touch of envy.

Unfortunately, this world is just that unfair. Some people, at a young age, can achieve the level that you've worked hard for most of your life.

"It's rare to see an old woman like you praising someone like this."

Rebecca muttered a complaint from the side, and Qiwei immediately flicked a beer bottle cap, hitting Rebecca on the head.

"Old woman! Do you want to fight?!"

Rebecca jumped up and down, yelling, while her jerk brother Pila cheered from the sidelines, looking like he was enjoying the show.

"It's so noisy."

Mann picked at his ear with a smile on his face and didn't stop them, but Dorio grabbed Rebecca with one hand.
