Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 294 Taking David to watch the fun, Li You’s plan
a new day.

In Heywood, in a bar called "JACKED AND COKE", there was a burly man in a suit with a tuft of golden hair on his forehead, drinking to drown his sorrows.

"Fuck——! You can lose this damn thing!?"

The big man was drinking and cursing in a low voice.

The big man who was immersed in his own world naturally didn't notice that there were several pairs of eyes around him, staring at him calmly. He was like a flying insect caught in a spider's web, but he was still unaware of it.

After another glass of wine, the big man finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell down on the bar with a thud, losing consciousness.

In the secret communication channel, Mann's voice sounded:
"Prepare for action."

He gave the order and everyone moved accordingly.

This scene is no stranger to Li You, who has watched the Edgewalker animation. It was the first commission that animation David received after joining the Mann team.

Of course, the world line of this world is also very different from the animation.

As for this commission, it was what David received when another day came after that.

This is the original animation timeline.

If an ordinary person was glared at like this by him, he would probably become intimidated. But not today. The strong man opposite Maxim was not much smaller than him, and he looked like he was not easy to mess with. He raised his head and replied:
"Ah, what, are you deaf? I said you bumped into me! Apologize quickly!"

Then, there is the official meeting between David and Lucy, cooperation in stealing chips, racing on a stretcher bed, and watching Mewtwo on the Moon.

This is indeed a task that is not easy to handle without Sean Westan, and it is also a test for Mann from David to see if he can control Sean Westan and produce results.

Mann snorted: "The company is really a dog...I would definitely not answer this call!"

Sure enough, the data on the chip here was only half copied, and Maxim received Tanaka's communication over there.

"--okay!"

She seemed to want to flick an ashtray in the ashtray on the bar, and moved slightly closer to the bar, but her eyes flashed slightly at the same time, and the chip on the back of Maxim's neck popped out and fell right into her hand.

All the movements were smooth and smooth, and Maxim, who was drunk, was not aware of it.

The big man in the bar is called Maxim, who is Tanaka's bodyguard and driver, and what Faraday wants is the navigation data of Tanaka's luxury car.

Mann, for various reasons, has already made sufficient plans to deal with this little accident. He just needs to watch.

Therefore, without a character like animated David who can steal chips without being noticed by the mission target, the Mann team's plan changed.

"Not good!" Sasha, who was in charge of monitoring, said in the communication, "He has been recalled urgently!"

Lucy naturally came to the other side of the bar, handed the chip to Dorio, who was sitting here, and began to copy the internal data through the instrument in her hand.

"…what did you just say?"

Maxim at the bar hung up the communication, shook his head and was about to get up when another burly figure smelling of alcohol squeezed over and passed him.

On the whole, not much has changed. Like what Li You wanted to complain about, the matter of beating around the bush in the boxing match is still the same, except that the person who steals the chip is changed from David to Lucy.

There is no way, no matter how good-tempered a person is, if he has just experienced the series of tortures of losing money in boxing gambling, taking a vacation, and being called back to work by his boss, his temper will definitely not get better.

And just when the air in Lucy's house was filled with the smell of ambiguity and hormones, the Mann team came to the door - David had been tricked by Lucy.

Fortunately, he proved his worth with his eloquence and actions, and also won an opportunity.

By the way, the performance of the stretcher bed racing scene is considered to be the best part of the year in Li You's heart, and it received full marks.

"Ah?" Maxim turned back with a dark face and glared.

"Hey——!!" The big man shouted at that time, "You hit me, buddy!"

In the animation, David and Gloria had no one to rescue them after a car accident. David sent his mother to a black clinic, then went home to raise money and went to school as usual the next day.

"Activate the emergency plan! Team A is dispatched!"

The next morning, he was picked on by Katsuo and beaten violently, and then he received a call from the black clinic informing him of Gloria's death.

Not to mention the drastic changes in the world line after Li You intervened. Just talking about David, he did not install Sianwei Stan - that thing is still lying in Li You's backpack.

So the Mann team at that time had to change their plan and asked David to take the chip to Maxim's car, download the data with Lucy, and ask Rebecca to hold Maxim back.

The muscles on Maxim's face twitched twice, but he still couldn't hold it back. He took two steps forward and confronted the strong man.

At this time, everyone started to take action. Lucy held a cigarette in her mouth and walked past Maxim with a calm face.

He lost money due to a boxing bet set up by Mann's team, so he came here to drink. In the animation, David's task is to use Sean Westan to pull out the data chip from the back of Maxim's neck without being noticed, copy it, and then insert it back into his neck.

In the animation, everything went smoothly up to this point, but then something unexpected happened. Maxim received a communication from his boss and recalled him urgently.

Although there was an accident during the mission, David did not let him down in the end.

After all, when Lucy is not working, she would go to the subway to steal chips to earn some pocket money. This task is easy for her.

That night, David, who could no longer bear what he had experienced, went to see a prosthetist he had known before. He installed the Sian Westan found in Gloria's belongings on himself, and went to the academy the next morning. , punched Katsuo away in class.

As he spoke, he took a sip on the ground.

But it's not difficult to steal the chip, but putting it back is a little troublesome. Fortunately, Mann and the others already have countermeasures.

If Li You wanted to interfere in these small matters, it would not be difficult to change them, but this time he had no intention of interfering.

But now, things are different again.

The strong man did not give in, put his hands on his hips, showed off the Valentino gang tattoo under his jacket, and said: "Sorry, old man! If you still can't hear it, go find a prosthetic doctor for treatment." Ears, company dog!”

Maxim couldn't bear it anymore and punched him on the spot!
"Ahh——!!"

The strong man who came up to find trouble was naturally Jack. He was here to help out with friendship today. After all, Heywood was his home.

His mission is also very simple, which is to provoke a conflict with Maxim and create opportunities for Mann and others.

Jack had already shown the image of a drunkard who hated company dogs. At this time, he deliberately refused to hide. He was punched by Maxim and stepped back repeatedly. Then he raised his head angrily and said: "Damn company dogs, how dare you hit them?" I!"

He said, raised his fists and rushed forward, wrestling with Maxim.

They made a lot of noise and were extremely eye-catching in this small bar.

However, Mann, Jack and others had taken care of things before that. At this time, the surrounding members of the Valentino Gang not only did not come to stop them, but instead watched them with great interest.

Li You, Yuzi, Aiji and Sasha were gathered around the pool table opposite the bar, also watching the excitement.

"Good! Well played!"

"Right hand, right hand, grab his right hand! No, choke his neck!"

Li You was even making noises while watching, as if he was worried that the world would not be in chaos.

Mann and Dorio, who didn't know why, were still praising his good acting skills, but Yuzi, Aiji, and Sasha, who had gotten to know Li You better, could see that Li You was really happy...

Li You: It’s time for my favorite electronic cricket fight again.

Okay, just kidding, forget it Maxim, Jack is not an electronic cricket.

But Li You wasn't worried about him. With Brother Jack's body there, he wouldn't be able to defeat Maxim who was so drunk that he couldn't walk steadily. Rather, in order to keep up with Dolio's progress, he had to be careful not to really beat Maxim to the ground.

"...Data copying completed!" Dorio quickly sent out a signal, and Mann immediately issued another order: "Hand over the chip, Team B is dispatched!"

Lucy then took the chip again and turned around and left the bar.

"Fuck-"

The door to the bar soon opened again, and David and Rebecca ran in, wearing casual clothes.

Yes, David also came with this commission.

It's not that the world line is closed or anything, it's purely because the difficulty is very low that Li You brought him to see the world.

As for Gloria...Li You directly chose to hide it from her.

With a personality like hers, persuasion is very tiring.

After Mann heard about it, he was very supportive of it. He said at the time: "Sooner or later, we will come into contact with this kind of thing, so why not do it now so that we can keep an eye on it for you."

He even suggested that David could have a sense of participation, so he was incorporated into Group B—him and Rebecca.

At this time, after entering the door, they saw Jack and Maxim fighting.

"Brother——! Why are you fighting with others again!"

Hearing their shouts, Jack grabbed Maxim's arm and stopped: "...Eh? Why are you here?"

"You're still talking about that, brother! Are you picking on people in the company again? My mother-in-law just scolded you last week!"

As David spoke, he came up and tried to pull Jack away: "Stop fighting, let go! Do you still want to be scolded by your mother-in-law?"

Jack didn't resist this time and allowed him to separate himself from Maxim. As for Maxim, he had always been suppressed by Jack and could not fight back.

On the other side, Rebecca had already brought a towel and wiped Maxim's wound: "Are you okay, uncle? My brother drank too much again. Don't worry about it!"

Maxim's self-esteem was satisfied, but naturally he couldn't give in. He snorted coldly at that time: "Don't care? He is a commoner, and he dares to provoke me! I can't bear this, I must teach him a lesson!"

"Uncle, you have a lot of money, so don't be like him~"

Rebecca said, pouring him a glass of wine from the bar, then walked around behind him and massaged his shoulders and neck. Her skillful techniques immediately made Maxim let out a comfortable moan.

David had already pulled Jack to sit next to him, and then came over to apologize to Maxim: "Sorry, sir, our brother really hates company employees..."

At this time, Rebecca took the opportunity to put the chip back into Maxim's slot, but did not insert it completely. Then she pretended to be casual and said: "Ah, uncle, the chip behind your neck seems to have popped out." It’s coming!”

Maxim reached out and touched it, and then he realized: "Oh no, the boss's side...!"

He didn't even care to enjoy Rebecca's massage. He got up from the ground at that time, said "remember this" to Jack who was icing the wound at the side, and hurried out.

After Maxim left, the farce in the bar came to an end.

"...Data copying is completed and remote transmission is completed. The commission is over!"

As Mann announced this in the communication, Jack, David and Rebecca who participated in the operation all cheered:

"Haha, good job——!!"

"The commission is completed!" "It's your first time playing, you performed well!"

Others looked at them with smiles. Mann walked in from the back door with Qiwei and said, "Thank you everyone. Brother Jack, David, Rebecca, Lucy, you are the great contributors!"

"Let's go! Go to Turbo, I'm treating you tonight!"

This mission did go smoothly. Li You, who was watching the whole show, nodded and commented: "Well done."

"It's much better than a guy who was busy watching theater and playing billiards from beginning to end." Aiji complained unceremoniously.

Li You didn't take it seriously: "How can such a simple task require everyone to do it?"

As he spoke, he leaned down and hit a shot: "In--!"

The ball didn't go in. Because Yuzi on the side suddenly reached out and grabbed the white ball, and asked curiously: "Is this how it works? Just grab it?"

Li You: "..."

Edge, Sasha: Laugh.

On the other side, David was holding Jack's arm on one shoulder and Rebecca was leaning on the other, but his eyes kept looking at Lucy who was smoking in the corner of the bar.

"...I won't go to the celebration reception." At this moment, Lucy said.

"Eh...?" David was a little surprised.

Fortunately, Mann just waved his hand: "No, you are also one of the protagonists this time, you must come!"

"Come on, everyone, get in the car, let's go to Japan Street!"

Lucy sighed after hearing this, but didn't insist and followed everyone out.

Only then did David feel relieved and came to Li You: "Master, shall we go too?"

Li You looked at his expectant expression, suddenly became jealous, and said with a smile: "What if I say, we don't want to go with you?"

David: "...Huh?"

"Hahahaha!" Li Youyou said, "I'm kidding you! Do I still know what you are thinking? Come on, let's follow."

David scratched his head in embarrassment, but still said: "Okay!"

Soon, Japan Street, Turbo Bar.

Everyone gathered together, drinking, talking and laughing. Pyrrha was performing acrobatics with his custom-made prosthetic hands, making everyone laugh and cheer.

Not only the Mann team, but Jack, and even David and Yuzu were mixed in and watching his performance.

Li You sat a little further away from Aiji and Sasha. Including Sasha, none of the three of them particularly liked the excitement. As for Yuzu, he simply joined in because he thought Pyrrha's acrobatics were fun.

But apart from them, Lucy did not participate. Instead, she leaned alone on the front hood of the sports car and smoked a cigarette.

Rebecca walked out of the bar, carrying two glasses of carbonated drinks, and placed one of them in front of David: "We cooperated well today! Come, treat you to a drink!"

"Your master seems to have told you not to drink alcohol for now. How about Coke Headquarters?"

David looked at the sparkling water in front of him and looked a little embarrassed: "Well...actually, I'm not used to drinking carbonated drinks."

"Eh? True or not?" Rebecca was obviously surprised, "There are actually people who can't even tolerate carbonic acid?"

"...Well, thank you anyway!" David picked up the cup, "I'll go to Master's place to have a look."

As he spoke, he picked up the cup and came to Li You's table.

"Master."

"You're here." Li You smiled peacefully, "How's it going? Is cyberpunk life interesting?"

David nodded vigorously: "Very interesting!"

"What you're involved in today is just a corner. In fact, to complete a commission, preliminary preparation is the most important, so don't underestimate it."

"I understand! Master."

"Yes." Li You nodded again, "But no matter what, you did a good job today and cooperated perfectly with Rebecca."

"Here, I'll give you this, just think of it as a reward this time."

Li You handed David a dark gold punk knife.

"This is…?"

"I made it casually." Li Youyou said, "It's not a precious thing, but you don't have your own gun yet, so use this instead."

"Once you learn how to mobilize your strength, this knife can also be used for emergencies."

Although it was just a gadget, David was still very happy: "Thank you, Master!"

Li You waved his hand: "Okay, you don't need to stay here. Don't you have other people you want to talk to? Go ahead and be brave."

"Ah, this..." David's face turned slightly red again, but he didn't deny it, "Then I...I'll try it."

Li You nodded in approval, and then saw David approaching Lucy cautiously. After maybe saying two or three words to her, Lucy left with a cigarette in her mouth, while David came back a little dejected.

"...She doesn't seem to want to talk to me."

"Take your time, young man." Li You patted him on the shoulder.

Li You doesn't intend to interfere, everything is up to them.

David sat here for a while, and then was pulled back to the Mann team by Rebecca.

Li You looked at the new messages displayed on his phone, and his eyes flashed: "I'm going to answer the phone."

He came to the side and dialed back the communication: "V?"

"Are you done over there?" V asked.

"Nothing happened a long time ago. Compared with this, you are sending me a message now. Have you discovered what you said before?"

V nodded: "Indeed."

"After you mentioned it to me last time, I was checking information related to Tanaka's R&D team, and I did find something.

"The information says that they seem to be developing some kind of special prosthetic body in secret. This project has a high level of confidentiality, both internally and externally. If I hadn't taken over Kate's resources, I wouldn't have known about it.

"That project was named by Tanaka's team - 'Prosthetic King Kong'."

Li You listened quietly, and only then said: "Then it seems that the ultimate goal of the commission I received today should be this thing."

"It seems so." V also expressed his approval. "The job assigned to you by Faraday is specifically for Arasaka. It is all the work of military technology. And the only thing Tanaka has that deserves their attention is the prosthetic body. King Kong Project.”

"You already know?" Li You's face showed just the right amount of thinking, even though he actually already knew the answer.

And after all, he was actually the one who had been pushing V to look up information on the Prostitute King Kong.

As for his purpose? It can be said that it is basically the same as military technology - what he is interested in is the prosthetic King Kong.

As an experimental prosthetic developed by Arasaka, and said to be specially tailored for Adam Hammer, the upper and lower limits of the prosthetic King Kong have actually been clearly shown in the animation.

The Prosthetic King Kong is a prosthetic body that utilizes the gravity-generating device to the extreme. Both its offensive and defensive ends, as well as its own activities, are supported by anti-gravity devices.

This extreme characteristic indeed gives the prosthetic King Kong great destructive power, and can even surprise a small army that overturns military technology without the enemy knowing its characteristics.

But at the same time, this also makes its shortcomings very obvious.

Adam Hammer himself in the animation commented sharply that if this thing were used by ordinary people, their bodies would not be able to support the weight of the uprising King Kong. Once there is no gravity generating device, the wearer will only be pressed by his own weight. collapse.

Not to mention, the exaggerated consumption of the prosthetic King Kong device's "empathy" for the implanter - which can be simply understood as human nature or reason - makes it impossible for it to be used by ordinary people and ordinary elite soldiers.

So to sum up, this thing is actually very useless and not of high value even to Arasaka.

That is to say, military technology does not know its shortcomings and only sees its possible power, so it keeps chasing this thing.

As for what Li You wants this thing for, this question is not complicated. What he was thinking was that maybe he could put the prosthetic King Kong on Night Demon?

The specific plan will wait until he gets the thing, and obtaining the prosthetic King Kong himself is only the last link in his series of plans.

Before that, he planned to use this thing and a bunch of big work around it with military technology to increase Arasaka Company's contribution to V.

Today's V has better conditions than the company V in the original game, and Li You has already established an in-depth cooperative relationship with her. In this case, he naturally wants to help his ally and increase her influence.

If V could be allowed to take over the power in the Counter-Intelligence Department and increase her favorability, it would be many times easier to do anything in Night City in the future.

In the communication, V continued: "...Two or three days ago, after discovering that Military Technology was particularly interested in this project of the Tanaka team, I let people loosen their control over Faraday. I think he would probably give it to me. Bring a little surprise.”

"Sure enough, after he confirmed that no one was monitoring him - at least that's what he thought - he quickly contacted Military Technology and received a new commission from them."

Li You answered: "This is the one I picked up today, right? Let me tell you, how come Faraday suddenly came out and jumped around again, and got back in touch with military technology? It turns out you let him go."

He was indeed a little surprised. After all, he had been busy preaching and teaching recently and had less contact with V. He did not expect that she had already made plans secretly.

And the key is that her arrangement was exactly what Li You wanted.

V smiled and said: "In the words of your hometown, this is called taking the long term and catching big fish. Look, isn't this rewarding? And he actually found you. It can only be said that he has a good eye. no."

Li You: "...You make it sound as if I am incompetent in my business. I'm warning you, you are slandering me!"

V glanced at him through the screen: "What, you still want to sue me? The Arasaka legal team is waiting for you! Have you heard of West Coast Pizza Hut?"

Li You: "...You are cruel, I will bear this grudge."

"Oh, remember it, I still remember your grudge."

Li You: "?"

"...Forget it, stop talking nonsense. What are you going to do next? Continue fishing?"

V said: "Since Faraday is looking for you to do the work, it's just right. If there is any information, we will verify each other as soon as possible. I will be responsible for controlling the situation and you will execute it on the spot. Let us swallow all the final benefits! "

"The winner takes all, right? That's great, just what I want."

Li You also had a smile on his face: "Then, keep in touch."
