Chapter 268 Night City Action Plan

The three of them waited at the back of the street for not long before the car sent by Regina quickly arrived and took away Ferdinando and the original Black Mewtwo.

The remuneration was quickly transferred to Rebecca's account. The commission fee was 2080 euros, and Regina also gave an additional 800 euros, which was regarded as a reward for Li You and the others for discovering the original film of Black Mewtwo.

Rebecca naturally wouldn't default on her debt, so she simply transferred all the 2380 euros to Li You, leaving only 500 for the agency fee.

This charge is already very low, and Rebecca herself doesn’t like the money. In the animation, she tips David, who is running errands and delivering goods, always 500 euros.

Li You smiled and said, "I got it. Thank you for the introduction. Can we cooperate with you next time if we have a chance?"

Rebecca chewed bubble gum and replied with some inarticulate words: "Although I really want to say forget it, but you guys do have some skills, and Sasha also likes you. So... okay, if there is a chance, Sasha or I will contact you. It’s yours.”

"Ah, that's right." She suddenly approached and touched Li You's chest, "I heard about it! You two are still staying at Sasha's house? You are adults, so you can find a place to live on your own! What's the point of living in a little girl's house?"

Li You said: "Don't worry, yesterday was just because of Sasha's hospitality. Today we will rent a hotel."

"Tch, that's fine." Rebecca blew bubbles and waved goodbye, leaving only the back of the two of them, "See you next time!"

……

Further north along Rebecca's apartment, there is a long road. The left side of the road is almost factory area, and the right side is a canal that is wide enough for two cars to pass side by side, leading directly to a small reservoir.

This entire road is almost no man's land, and there are very few cars. Only transport trucks pass by from time to time. Li You and Aiji were standing on the edge of the reservoir, talking about something.

"I see, is this your plan?" Aggie thought.

"Well, there is no time limit for this mission, so I thought maybe I could take advantage of it and slow down and sort out my power system."

Li You said, opening his hand, there was a faint electric light dancing in his hand.

"Not only the Sakura Dragon Divine Crystal, but also the many props we got in these worlds before, we haven't studied them carefully, have we? This is too wasteful, and it always makes me feel that the foundation is unstable.

"Sometimes, it's clear that a certain item can have miraculous effects in battle, but I couldn't remember it at the time. It wasn't until after a hard fight that I realized there was such a thing... This is so stupid."

Ai Ji agreed: "It's time to sort out those messy props of yours."

Li You then pulled out the hand cannon

In addition to these, he is also thinking about one thing, that is, so many achievement points saved in the past can also be used to strengthen weapons.

The world of cyberpunk does not have extraordinary abilities, but it is the near future after all, and the power of various modern weapons is very impressive. It's easy to just defeat a few minions now, but considering that there may be a need to slash mechas with swords in the future, it still needs to be strengthened in all aspects.

"Okay, then it's decided! Slowly develop in this city, consolidate your own strength, and become a legend down to earth!"

Li You clapped his hands, "Then first!"

A faint light appeared in front of him, and Yuzu's figure emerged.

He opened his eyes, looked at Li You and Ai Ji, and said hello happily: "Aw!"

Before the summons, Li You had already adjusted Yuzi's equipment, so he was now wearing the earliest military coat and the village chief Mendez's bowler hat.

Li You thought about it, Yuzi's face now basically looks like a normal person, except that the skin on the lower jaw will crack from time to time, but it can be controlled.

That being the case, then in Night City, where weirdos are everywhere, he should be able to walk around on the streets without attracting too much attention.

…Maybe?

Of course, forget about the costumes like Hand of the King, wearing them will definitely turn heads.

But beyond that, there's one more thing to confirm.

Li You patted Yuzi's arm and asked, "Yuzi, answer me honestly."

"——Are you able to speak normally again?"

Hearing this question, Yuzi was stunned on the spot, and Aiji also looked at him in surprise.

"Really, Yuzu?"

Yuzi looked at the two of them, seemed to be confused for a moment, then nodded and said: "...Yes, it can be done."

Aiji was very surprised: "Yuzi, except for your strange voice when you speak now, you are almost like a normal person!"

"Hmm... maybe the wording and sentence construction can be improved?"

Li You raised his head and looked into Yuzi's eyes: "Why don't you say it?"

Yuzi replied: "Because I'm not used to it. And I'm too big, so it's inconvenient most of the time. So, it's good to go back."

Li You: "..."

Suddenly, I was condemned by my conscience.

He coughed and said, "Anyway, Yuzi, I'd like to apologize to you first. I've always been a bit neglectful of you before and didn't talk to you much."

"But the next thing is right, you can come with us and walk on the street openly!"

Yuzi and Li You looked at each other for a while, then nodded vigorously: "...Okay!"

——A moment later, beside the street.

A female NCPD police officer looked at Yuzi, Li You and Aiji next to him with suspicion, and said, "So, can you please show me your identification?"

Three people: "..."

In the spiritual link, Yuzi said: "...As expected, I still want to go back?"

Li You flatly refused: "...No, leave it to me."

He coughed and looked at the female police officer...

——At noon.

Li You and the other three randomly found a food stall on the roadside and bought some fast food.

Li You: "I want to try the chicken skewers that make Zhucun eat red and warm."

Aiji sat next to him, eating the weird-tasting fried noodles without saying a word, and watching Li You commit suicide.

"Uh-huh——"

After one gulp, Li You almost spit out his breakfast.

"It's...as expected of Night City's chicken skewers..."

He lay on the counter and tremblingly handed the skewers to Yuzu who was standing beside him: "...I'll leave it to you."

Yuzu took it without any objection and swallowed it in one bite.

The stall owner looked at him and said, "Although the meat is synthetic...but doesn't it mean that monks can't eat meat? It doesn't really matter to him?"

"...Ah, or is he not a monk? This clothes doesn't seem to be from Buddhism. What kind of religion does it come from...?" At this moment, Yuzi had changed from his military coat and put on the robe of the Light Church. As for the top hat, I just took it off, exposing my big bald head. Finally, Yuzu still held the Light Scripture in one hand and the Shiquan Rosary in the other.

It does seem to be nondescript, but after negotiating with the NCPD police officers, Li You found that letting Yuzi pretend to be a religious person was the best way.

As for the shape of this suture monster, it was also obtained through practice.

Most residents of Night City have little understanding of religious beliefs. Although the shape of the grapefruit stands out, in the eyes of these people, so many religious elements only mean one identity - the bald donkey.

Well, many people refer to all religious believers as bald donkeys, probably because they are easy to remember.

The food stall owner in front of him could realize with hindsight that Yuzi's appearance did not belong to that of a monk, and he was already a rare smart person.

However, Ai Ji also complained in the spiritual link: "Although, isn't it enough to just let Yuzi wear the robe of the Light? There is no need to stack so many religious buffs. What, you are going to talk to the black animal protection vegetarian Try your best?"

Li You twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced at her: "You are really good at complaining."

But what she said makes sense. The robe of light originally had a small cloak with a hood, and it should be enough.

Li You then put away the rosary and scriptures and asked Yuzi to put on the hood.

"Okay, let's proceed as planned."

Soon, in the Kabuki District of Watson District, in the gun shop below the market.

Behind the counter, a white boss dressed in a very Japanese style carefully looked at the hand cannon X that Li You took out, and after a while he said:

"Yes, it is indeed a very classic design. If you are willing to offer this gun, I can buy it and put it as an exhibit in the store. Maybe it will attract some old-school customers."

Li You: "...No, I just said, I'm asking you if this gun can be installed with plug-ins."

Hearing this, the boss looked at Li You, then looked at the gun, and said in surprise: "Are you kidding me?"

Li You: "..."

He really couldn't get along with this city.

"Okay, okay, they all say that the customer is God." The boss scratched his head, "Although I think this sentence is nonsense, it doesn't seem like you are specifically looking for trouble..."

Li You couldn't help but interrupt: "So is it possible?"

"Yes." The gun shop owner first gave a firm conclusion, "But I can't do it here. You have to find a specialized craftsman to customize the accessories and plug-ins for your old-fashioned revolver."

"As for the price, it will fluctuate depending on the effect and quality you require, but it will cost at least several thousand euros, maybe more."

"So expensive?"

Li You frowned slightly, but the boss spread his hands: "Now if you want to tinker with this kind of antique weapon, you will definitely have to offer a high price. Is there anyone willing to accept it? I have to wait and see."

"...Okay, thank you very much." Li You put away the hand cannon X and turned to leave.

Yuzi and Aiji were waiting outside the store. When they saw Li You coming out, Aiji said, "The first step to becoming a legend failed."

"...Have you become more and more mean in your speech recently?" Li You curled his lips, "And I just stopped by to ask. Come on, let's go to the next place."

The three of them wandered around Watson District all afternoon, checking out all the gun stores, melee weapons stores, and prosthetic body stores. They didn't even leave the hacker store disguised as a network access warehouse repair site. Pass.

Although they were just looking to buy, shopping around gave Li You a clearer understanding of the prices of goods in this world. He was no longer just a couple who could only estimate the cost based on the prices of games and setting sets. His eyes went dark.

In the end, Li You spent 600 euros to rent a double room for a week at the "HOテル" low-cost hotel chain opposite Sasha's house.

Of course he knew that renting like this was a loss, but for the mercenary industry, a few hundred euros was really nothing. Li You was used to the prices in the game, so he didn't feel bad about spending it at all. But for the lower class citizens, this is already a huge expense.

The room is a double room. As for the accommodation environment, it can only be said to be slightly better than a motel in the Badlands.

As soon as Li You, Yuzi and Aiji sat down in the room, they received a call from Sasha.

"Hello? Li You, Aggie? Rebecca told me that you did a good job on your first commission! Even Regina remembers you, okay."

Sasha looked very happy. After congratulating him, he turned to ask, "Have you found a place to live?"

Li You replied: "I rented a standard room in a hotel nearby and will stay here for the time being. What's the matter?"

Sasha said "Hmm" and said, "I do have something I want to discuss with you. If it's convenient, can you meet me at my house later? I've logged you in as a visitor, so you can go in directly."

Li You would not refuse: "Okay, when?"

"Wait for about half an hour. I'm still at my sister's house. I'll be back soon."

"understood."

Half an hour later, Li You and the others waited for her downstairs in Sasha's apartment.

"Li You? I didn't say you can go in first... huh!?"

Sasha looked at Yuzi, who stood next to Li You like a black iron tower, and her eyes widened.

"Who is this…"

"His name is Yuzi, and he is Aiji and I's companion. I wanted to introduce him to you, so I didn't enter the apartment." Li You said openly.

Yuzi looked down at Sasha: "...Hello."

Sasha was just shocked at first. After all, not to mention her, the passers-by around her were also frightened and avoided them. But she quickly remembered something and asked tentatively:

"I seem to have some impression...were you the one who caught me when I fell that day?"

Li You was stunned: "Do you remember?"

"I only have a vague impression. After all, I was affected by the explosion and shot again, so I was inevitably unconscious." Sasha gently stuck out his tongue, "But I vaguely remember that it was him who held me back. I didn’t fall to death.”

Seeing that she did remember it, Li You didn't hide it: "It is indeed him."

"As expected!" Sasha looked at Yuzi and thanked her very solemnly, "Thank you! Um, Yuzi...sir. You saved my life."

Yuzi looked at her, then nodded slowly: "No need to thank me. I listen to Li You."

"Well! Thank you again, Li You and Aiji!" Sasha agreed.

"Okay, okay, don't go through all these red tapes." Li You waved his hand, "Sasha, didn't you say you have something to do with us? Let's go up and talk about it?"

"Okay, let's go."

The group quickly returned to Sasha's apartment. Because the sofa couldn't fit, Yuzi could only stand quietly by the window. Sasha seemed a little sorry, but Li You told her not to worry.

After sitting down, Sasha looked at Li You and said, "What I want to say is also related to what happened the day before yesterday."

"Li You, Aiji, do you know how I fell?"

Li Youxin said of course I know, but still replied on the surface:

"Tell me."
