From Gotham to Night City, my notoriety is known to everyone

[Internet monitoring public version brain-computer interface, Arasaka type 1 network access warehouse, Chiluji type 3 artificial eye, biotechnology type 2 biological monitoring, various surgical expenses - total price 3 euros. ]

Leo frowned: "Old Wei...Isn't this price right?"

"how?"

"You charged too little. Aren't the personal terminal and the previous full set of inspections free? Oh, yes, and the 200 yuan in cash you lent me."

"You're not willing to pay less than I paid. Rich people are hard to understand." Lao Wei joked and explained, "The personal terminal and the brain-computer interface are a set. I can't charge you twice. As for the previous inspection, since you're a big customer, I'll just treat it as a gift."

"Thanks, Lao Wei."

Leo tried to transfer money online for the first time. After some effort, he finally succeeded.

[You are transferring money to Victor Victor, please confirm that it is you who is doing this. ]

【confirm. 】

[The transfer was successful, and 35200 euros were debited from your personal account. ]

"No installments, no credit, such a large sum of money to be paid on the spot, I am a little uncomfortable with it~"

Lao Wei put away the surgical instruments in a good mood, picked up two small medicine bottles from the table and handed them to him.

"The red-capped one is a soft stimulant, which will strengthen your nerve conduction for a short period of time and suppress the side effects of the implant. Take it according to the dosage, inhale twice now, and then twice again after an hour.

The blue-capped one is the pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory medicine I prescribed for you. Take it once every four hours, up to three times a day. If it doesn't hurt, or the pain is not severe, you don't have to take it."

"Great service, Lao Wei."

"That's right, after all, he is a big customer."

Leo took two bottles of nebulizer inhalers and first used the stimulant with a red cap. He pressed the cap twice and a large cloud of mist sprayed out and was inhaled into his nasal cavity.

Then he took the blue-capped analgesic and anti-inflammatory medicine, which was a bit choking and made him cough twice.

"I've prescribed you a week's worth of medicine. If everything is normal after a week, I can install other prostheses. It won't delay your enrollment in March."

Lao Wei restored the operating table to its original state and extended his hand to him.

Leo reached out and grabbed it, using the strength to pull himself up.

He took a few steps forward and felt fine, except that his eyes were a little dizzy, as if he had just put on new glasses.

Lao Wei followed behind him, observing and reminding him: "You'll get used to it. It will be a little awkward to install the prosthesis at the beginning."

After walking around the clinic for a few times and trying the scanning function a few more times, the uncomfortable feeling was suppressed by the medicine, and Leo felt that he was fine again.

"I feel much better. From now on, I am also a 'modern person'!"

"By the way, Lao Wei, how did you know I was going to Arasaka Academy?"

Leo turned his head and saw that Lao Wei had sat back at his desk and continued watching the boxing match.

As he walked over, he heard Lao Wei say, "For a rich kid like you to choose Night City instead of New America, I can only think of the most famous Arasaka Academy. After all, everyone says that a diploma from Arasaka University is a VIP ticket to the upper class."

"It seems to make sense."

Thinking about Arasaka's secret weapon [relic biochip], if Saburo Arasaka could really make that thing, then Arasaka Corporation would indeed have the capital to dominate the world.

Just like in the [Devil's Ending], the powerful and wealthy upper class people gain eternal life, while the lower class people also gain eternal life - forever living in a high-tech, low-life cyberpunk world, and can never change their fate of struggling to survive in the mud.

"Arasaka..."

Leo whispered these two words, shook his head and sighed - to hide the passion burning like a raging fire in his eyes.

Eternal life... Who doesn't want eternal life!

Giving the relic to Saburo Arasaka will only make the world more miserable, so this dangerous thing should be taken by Leo!

One year later, in the Blue Bi Building,

He wants to form a team of his own... No, that's not enough, he wants to form his own company, his own army, to teach that old man Saburo Arasaka a good lesson!

"Ahem - what are you thinking about? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lao Wei's voice struggled to squeeze into his mind.

"Ah?" Leo looked over and found that Lao Wei had turned off the computer again and pointed to the door.

There stood a tall and burly figure.

Leo subconsciously entered scanning mode, turned on the 4x optical zoom, and looked at his appearance——

The sturdy man had a bun with a round tuft of hair in the middle of his head, like a small black disk on his forehead. This hairstyle, coupled with his rather gentle face, gave people a first impression of being honest and reliable.

It's just a little bit bigger, like a gorilla.

Jack...!?

Leo almost called out his name, but restrained himself.

Judging from the way Jack was looking around, it was obvious that he had been here for a while.

Lao Wei spread his hands and said, "I've said it many times - there's a new customer, go to Misty's and wait for a while. But you've been distracted, are you okay?"

"It's okay. I'm just thinking about something. I'll go out and wait for a while."

Leo didn't expect to meet a "good brother" here, and he was quite excited when he walked towards Jack.

This good brother who regrettably left the stage in the early stage of the plot was one of his biggest regrets when playing the game. He didn't expect that he would be able to meet him in person in his lifetime. How could he remain calm?

Seeing him coming, big guy Jack looked at his face curiously for a moment and turned sideways in a friendly manner.

The two should have just nodded to each other and passed each other like strangers, but... Leo obviously didn't intend to choose this boring option.

"Leonardo Dicaprio, just call me Leo." He extended his hand in a friendly manner, even though Misty had said that this gesture seemed a little unconventional in the Watson District.

"Uh..." Jack was indeed confused by his enthusiasm and actions for a moment, but he quickly reacted and stretched out his hand to shake his hand, "Jack Wells, nice to meet you, amigo (friend)."

It was just a polite remark, the same one he made to every new gang buddy and bar patron.

but,

The man held his hand tightly, and his eager eyes made Jack's heart beat fast.

Too enthusiastic... Could this rich guy have any special hobbies?

"Leo...?"

Lao Wei's voice seemed to come from a very far away place, waking up Leo.

His memory still lingered on the final farewell in the taxi and the heavy and depressing funeral.

"Oh, oh... I'm sorry, I just got my prosthetic brain replaced and I'm a little confused." Leo patted his good brother's arm with his other hand, and added before leaving, "Let's talk later."

"?"

Jack watched him walk away, then looked at Lao Wei in confusion, "No... Lao Wei, who is this guy? Why does he seem to know me?"

Nobody: Chapter 14 "Good evening, Night City!!"

“A new client.”

Lao Wei is very principled and did not disclose Leo's personal information.

"Let's not talk about him anymore, let's talk about you. Jack, how is your injury recovering? Have you listened to the doctor's advice and stopped drinking?"

"Uh... Lao Wei, you know I'm a temporary bartender at Wild Wolf now. No matter if it's a new customer or an old face, I have to show some respect to them."

The sturdy and strong man looked silly when facing Lao Wei, with his eyes wandering around.

"I see. You didn't follow the doctor's advice. Okay, I won't prescribe you painkillers this time."

"Eh!? Come on, Lao Wei..."

*

Leo walked away slowly and could no longer hear the noise coming from the basement.

However, he was already very satisfied to be able to see his good brother Jack again, and see him as a living person.

Jack Wills...

He can’t let the tragedy happen again this time, he has to lead his buddies to become “big shots”.

Looking up at the darkening sky, one can vaguely see the towering holographic billboards of Night City and the high-rise buildings shrouded in the night.

Leo turned on the six-fold optical zoom and scanned the sky aimlessly. The tension and uneasiness that had been lingering in his heart since he came to Night City finally eased.

"I installed the prosthetic body, met some familiar people, and found my direction. I am finally not a headless fly anymore. All right then..."

Stretch out two middle fingers to the sky,

"Good evening, Night City!!"

The reckless shouting caused several homeless people to curse:

"What are you yelling about, company dog!"

"Get out of here, do you want to be beaten?"

Leo lowered his head and looked at the homeless man lying in a corner with only a dirty mattress as his belongings, and wisely fled into Misty's shop.

He turned around and closed the door, and the ethereal and dreamy sound of the chimes made him breathe a sigh of relief.

"Welcome back, is everything going well?"

Misty's voice was as gentle as always.

"It's going well, but I'm kind of bothered by those homeless people outside your store. Seriously, is it okay to let them stay there?"

Leo turned around and stopped when passing by the shrine, examining it with interest.

A bald head, wearing a strange face mask, a golden body, four arms, and two of the upper hands holding purple crystal balls... Which mythological character does this belong to?

Misty answered his previous question softly, "That's their home. If they are not allowed there, where can they go? Don't worry. I have run a shop here for a long time, and everyone has been able to live in harmony."

"I really envy your peace of mind and attitude. If someone kept whispering those weird things in my ear, I would have been driven crazy."

Leo didn't bother with the statue, but raised his hand and pointed behind Misty.

Just across the wall was the prophet Gary. Fortunately, he was probably tired at this time and did not continue to "preach".

Misty smiled softly and shuffled the tarot cards leisurely. "The prophet is a hardworking man. He doesn't stay here all the time, but preaches everywhere in Night City. So, it's not difficult to tolerate his voice occasionally."

"By the way..." Her hand paused, "Have you seen that big guy just now?"

"Jack?"

"Not bad, it seems you already know each other. Then I don't need to introduce you.

Leo, don't be fooled by Jack's face, he looks like a bad-tempered man, but he is actually a very nice person. If you need help, it's definitely a good idea to talk to him."

This sounded a bit like doing Jack a favor, but Leo didn't mind at all. To be more precise, that was what he planned to do.

I just arrived in Night City, I have no place to live, no bodyguards, and even no weapons for self-defense. At this time, is there any better choice than to seek refuge with my good brother Jack?

there is none left,

So let’s do it!

"I think he's quite kind and seems like a reliable person. I'll talk to him later and see if he can help me find a place to stay, and preferably recommend a reputable bodyguard to me."

For example, V or V Zhentian or something like that!

Misty's lips curled up and she seemed to be in a good mood.

Leo took the opportunity to gossip: "I see you guys seem to have a good relationship, boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"Not really. We grew up on the same street. We often saw each other, but we didn't have much in common. It wasn't until he got injured not long ago that he came to Old Wei's place every day. Then we became familiar with each other."

"I think Jack is nice and a good match for you."

"Heh, you're quite outgoing. You want to bring two 'strangers' together the first time you meet."

"I'm the kind of person who can see through other people's true inner selves at a glance. Believe me, you two are a perfect match."

Leo patted his chest and boasted, even a little proud.

He didn't dare to say about others, but he had some understanding of the important NPCs he met in the game. It was definitely no lie to say that he could see through them at a glance.

Misty stopped talking to him about personal relationships and instead invited him to a tarot reading.

Leo was very excited, but unfortunately he was interrupted before he could take action.

"Misty, and, Lee..." Jack was stuck.
