Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 291 David: How come life suddenly gets better? Have I traveled through time?

Another new day.

As the alarm rang, David Martinez sat up from the sofa with squinted eyes and yawned.

He remained half asleep, washed, changed clothes, and got ready for school.

After pouring cold water on his face, David wiped his face with a towel and finally woke up completely.

He looked at his mother sleeping on the bed again and found that she was still counting the bionic sheep in her dream. David didn't wake her up, but gently covered her with a quilt and went out to school.

But because of this, David didn't notice the information chip Gloria left for him and placed it next to the bed.

Walking through the very familiar road to school, everything today looks as usual.

…No, something is wrong.

David sensed a problem. He just caused trouble in class yesterday and burned down the classroom system. According to past practice, at this time, those in the class who disliked him should have come to find trouble.

"What kind of job does your mother do that can afford you to study in the college? Ah! Could it be..."

David finally couldn't hold back his anger and punched Katsuo in the face!

But not today. This David escaped punishment for some reason. In the morning, the principal actually called him to warn him and told him not to cause trouble to David again in the future! ?
He is Tanaka Katsuo! His dad is a member of the college’s board of directors!

What's this? Oh, the latest Mewtwo headband, two sets of brand-new college uniforms, and chips for various learning aid software - all were recommended by the previous teacher, but he didn't even dare to tell his mother because he had no money and couldn't use them. of high-end goods.

He just hugged the box and followed.

If David made the first move, it doesn't count as him looking for trouble, right?
The Kuiji 400 Kung Fu chip installed on the back of his neck began to operate, and a current spread throughout his body. Katsuo arrived first, raised his hand, and intercepted David's fist!
With the support of advanced kung fu chips and expensive prosthetics, even if he strikes later, he can still beat the original David to pieces!
However, at this moment, a whistle suddenly sounded in Katsuo's ears. The sharp whistle hit his ears and pierced his brain! The whistle seemed to have a magical quality that instantly attracted his attention, causing him to look in the direction of the sound involuntarily.

The anger in Katsuo's tone was mixed with confusion, but to be honest, David was more confused than him.

David: "...Huh?"

Although David was caught, he just raised his hand and scratched the chip interface on the back of his neck, looking indifferent.

What he said was very unpleasant, but David didn't take it to heart. In the past few days, this was not the first time that Katsuo had bullied him. He was tired of hearing those few words back and forth.

who am I?
Where am i?

Although his expression was slightly strange, David was relieved by this familiar unfolding.

"David Martinez! You are a freak, incompatible with the class and the college! I don't care what you and your mother did, but I advise you to drop out of school as soon as possible! If you leave garbage like you alone, It will only pollute others!”

A vicious smile appeared on Katsuo's face and he said, "I thought of a job where I can make quick money in Night City. But, that's an illegal job..."

"...Boom!" Katsuo suddenly narrowed his eyes.

But David's blank expression looked more like a provocation to Katsuo. He was suddenly so angry that his veins bulged, and he grabbed David's collar, the one wearing the brand new uniform and Mewtwo's headband. The box also fell from his hands and fell to the ground.

What happened? ?
Three questions in a row.jpg
Have I traveled through time? Or is it that my mother secretly bought the Dead Man's Lotto yesterday and finally won the jackpot, making our family rich?
However, when he returned to the classroom with the box in his arms, he finally saw a few familiar faces.

"Sorry, I can't understand a word you said. Can I leave? The first class is about to start."

How can you not afford to offend a mere poor boy? He can't accept it!

"What on earth did you and your mother do! Why do you suddenly no longer need to pay compensation, and the principal even gave you a special subsidy quota!"

Compared with these, he was more concerned about whether the Mewtwo's ring that had just fallen to the ground was broken.

It seems that he did not travel through time, nor did he have any hallucinations due to his brain being burned out by watching Black Mewtwo.

But today...where are they?
David was wondering when the communication ring rang in his ears again, it was the principal calling.

Thinking that if there was a conflict with Katsuo, it would only be more difficult for his mother to deal with it. David finally resisted the urge to punch this guy and wanted to pack up his things and leave.

"You guy——!!"

"...It's so boring. I'm leaving!"

Sure enough, my brain was still damaged by Black Mewtwo?

David's little head stopped working for a moment.

At this moment, Tanaka Katsuo, with suppressed anger on his face, made a "come here" gesture to David.

When he insulted him just now, David had no reaction, but now that Katsuo pointed the finger at his mother, David subconsciously clenched his fists.

Katsuo wanted to take action at that time, but thinking about the past, even if he beat David to a bloody head, he still shamelessly continued to come to school the next day, as if nothing had happened, Katsuo felt that there was no way to let him vent his anger. .

As for Katsuo, the corner of his mouth curled up with a hint of success.

In an unmanned passageway below the company square, Shengnan and the other three were confronting David.

One of the best students in the class, Tanaka Katsuo, and his two followers. They were the guys who usually bullied David the most.

But then, he narrowed his eyes slightly, thought of something, showed a sinister smile, let go of David, and asked instead: "So, I've always been curious."

"Classmate David Martinez, are you already at school? Come to my office quickly!" The principal's voice was very enthusiastic.

"Hey, David Martinez!" Katsuo's face was a little twisted, his blue bangs swaying, and he called David by his name in a somewhat defensive manner.

Normally, a few scoldings and a few pushes would be enough for him. After all, he "maintains his identity" and doesn't like to soil his uniform.

David: "Huh?"

Ten minutes later, when he walked out of the principal's office holding a box full of school supplies, he was even more confused.

However, Katsuo stepped on the college uniform on the ground, looked down at David condescendingly, and said, "Don't want to hear it? Then it seems I was right! It's really heartbreaking. In order for my son to study at Arasaka College, I have to sacrifice everything for a long time." A mother who is willing to break the law and commit crimes..."

Of course, such a distraction made Katsuo's movements suddenly stop, and his hand that intercepted David's fist was also slowed down by half a beat, and then he was punched firmly in the face by David!

"Boom--!"

Katsuo took two steps back and fell to the sky.

"Katsuo——!?"

His two followers panicked and quickly helped him up.

In fact, David was also confused. Although he struck out in anger, he knew in his heart that not only would this punch have no effect, but it would also lead to him being beaten by Katsuo.

But now...?
After connecting all the strange things that happened today, David finally thought of something.

"Is there someone secretly helping me?"

At this moment, Katsuo was supported by two followers, covering his nose, with blood on his face and tears streaming down his face.

He twitched and looked at David: "...it hurts me to death! You guy, you broke my nose!!"

"You're finished. My dad is a member of the college council. He can get you out of the college with just one word..."

"——What an ugly incompetent rage."

A cold voice came, causing David and Shengnan to turn their heads.

At the other end of the passage, two figures, a man and a woman, slowly walked in with the sun behind them.

The man is wearing a classic-style gray trench coat, while the woman is wearing a company uniform. However, they all looked at Katsuo on the ground with the same look, which was a look of disdain for the down-and-out wild dog.

David: "Ah, it's you..."

Katsuo was irritated by the looks between the two of them, and roared angrily: "Who are you!? Get out of here! Otherwise, I will ask my father to sink you into the sea..."

"Dad, dad, do you only rely on me?" Li You sneered, "Without your father's power and financial resources, who are you? Even worse than a wild dog."

"What are you talking about -" "Your father's name is Tanaka." The woman in uniform from behind also spoke, "A member of the college council and one of the team leaders of the development department."

She glanced at Katsuo and sneered: "He is really powerful. But what would he do if he knew that his son was openly threatening the agents of the Arasaka Counter-Intelligence Department?"

Hearing this, the expressions of the two followers beside Shengnan suddenly changed, and Shengnan also froze on the ground: "You...you said you are..."

V didn't even bother to prove anything to these young boys and directly scolded him: "Get out of here right now! Otherwise, I'll go back to Tanaka and have a good chat with him about his son's tutoring!"

"whispering sound…"

Although Katsuo was unwilling to give in, he didn't dare to bet on whether what the woman in front of him said was true or false. After all, someone is indeed covering David now, that's for sure.

"…let's go!"

The two followers helped Shengnan up and were about to leave, but Li You said: "Stop."

The follower stopped immediately.

Katsuo was angry and anxious, but he didn't dare to get angry. He could only ask: "What are you going to do!?"

Li You looked at him and said, "You just smashed your classmate's school supplies. Do you want to leave without paying compensation?"

"...No, I'll pay for it! I..."

Katsuo said, but was stunned.

David's set of school supplies, Mewtwo's headband and uniform are of high value. Forget it all, but the most valuable thing is those chips. If you include them, the little pocket money he has now is really not enough to compensate. - he took out most of the money and spent it.

"...I, I don't have much money now..."

"No money?" Li You glanced at him indifferently, and that look made Sheng Nan shiver.

"If you don't have the money, then bring something else. By the way, didn't you pretend to have 400 in two arms? Just use that as compensation."

Katsuo was stunned, then gritted his teeth.

The Kuiji 400 Kungfu chip he used, but he spent more than half a month's pocket money and asked his mother to get some hard work before he could get enough to buy it. He hadn't even used it a few times before he had to give it to a chip. Poor boy?

"I…"

"It's fair." At this moment, V beside him spoke. She nodded and said: "Kuiju 400 is also the latest model product. In terms of price, it is not much different from that box of gadgets."

She said so, and Shengnan could only bear to take out the chip, and handed it to Li You with trembling hands.

Li You took it and looked at it, then waved his hand: "Go away."

The attendant then supported Katsuo and limped out.

But at this moment, Katsuo heard the conversation coming from behind him again.

——Here, Li You threw the chip to David, who was watching in amazement, and said: "Remember to wipe it well before using it."

David hasn't reacted yet: "...why?"

Li Youyou said: "If you don't disinfect the ones that the boy with straight bangs used just now, I'm afraid you'll be infected by his stupid disease. It's a terminal disease."

Hearing this, Katsuo couldn't bear it anymore and spat out a mouthful of blood: "...Let's go, take me away quickly!!"

David looked at the chip in his hand, then at Li You and V in front of him, as well as the three Sheng Nan who gradually became the background, and finally couldn't help but laugh.

"...Haha, hahaha, hahahahaha——!"

He was a little reserved at first, but soon turned into loud laughter, until David's abdominal muscles cramped and tears overflowed before he finally stopped.

"Thank you, Mr. Li You, and this..."

"V." V introduced himself coldly.

"Miss V, thank you too." David thanked him sincerely and looked at Li You again.

"You helped me again."

Li You smiled and said, "It's okay. After all, you are my apprentice now."

David: "...Huh?"

Li You was stunned at this moment: "Didn't Gloria tell you?"

David: "...what?"

"It's really good, no wonder." Li You was helpless.

"Okay, let me explain it briefly, that's it..."

After listening to Li You's explanation, David was stunned again: "...So, my mother agreed to let me learn kung fu from you?"

"Yes."

"..."

David was silent at first, and then suddenly burst into cheers: "——Okay!! I can learn kung fu!!"

"Yo-scared!!"

Looking at David who was cheering for joy, it was the first time in Li You's memory that he saw such a childish side of him, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, although your mother agreed, you can't neglect your studies." Li You checked the time and interrupted him, "Arasaka College is the top educational institution in Night City after all, and the opportunity to study here is also It’s rare, go for it.”

"Come to this place to meet me after school in the afternoon."

Li You sent David an address, and David nodded, picked up the box on the ground, and said, "I understand! Li You first... uh, Master!"

"Okay, very energetic." Li You smiled and patted his shoulder, "Let's go to class!"

"Ok!"

David hugged the box and trotted all the way back to the college.

After he left, V and Li You chatted for a few words.

"This is the kid, David," she said. "A very energetic little guy, and he also has a bit of a rebellious spirit."

Li You said: "He is a good prospect in Night City. If you continue to work in Arasaka in the future, he might be your assistant."

"Also, I want to thank you for stepping in to deal with that kid. I don't want to beat the kid."

V waved his hand: "Tanaka is just the leader of one of the project teams in the development department. His team has not produced any significant results for a long time, and he has no right to speak at all. Besides, this is just his son. And I can't stand this kind of thing." The kid who bullies others by taking advantage of others’ power, let’s teach him a lesson by the way.”

She said it very casually, but Li You thought about it and kept it in mind.

V said Tanaka’s team didn’t produce any results? It makes sense, after all, Kate and Douglas in the animation also said that Tanaka kept the information about "Prosthetic King Kong" very tightly during the development process, so after Lucy destroyed the records in Tanaka's mind, they Will keep sending people to try to recover those data, and find Faraday.

At the moment, V is just back to work on his first day, and is still coordinating and sorting out the large amount of resources he took over from Kate, so it's not surprising that he doesn't know about the prosthetic King Kong.

Li You thought for a while and reminded: "Speaking of which, when I dealt with Kate before, I heard them talk about it before taking action. Tanaka seemed to be holding back a big, seemingly interesting project. Now Kate's resources are in your hands. , if you are interested, maybe you can take a look."

V was a little surprised, but he would not ignore Li You's reminder, so he said, "Okay, I've written this down, and I'll check it out later."

"Stop talking nonsense, didn't you ask me to come out because you wanted to treat me to dinner? I don't have that much free time."

Li You did not come to see David specifically today. He had originally made an appointment with V, who had just finished his vacation and returned to work in the Counterintelligence Department, to have something good to eat. However, he had just met V behind Arasaka Tower when he saw David and That’s why Katsuo and the three of them followed.

Now that the little incident had been resolved, he nodded: "Follow me, I know a good place."
