As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 100 Race Advancement Mission (8k)

Outpatient clinic.

Victor finished checking the parts that Li Nuo and the others brought over.

He was lost.

This is like going to a restaurant with good ratings and bringing your own ingredients for the chef to process, but then you bring a whole team over...

Li Nuo's request was to first treat Cha Bai's broken arm, and then ask Victor to prescribe an implant surgery plan that three people could do.

Before prosthetic surgery, a complete examination of the surgical object is required.

All that needs to be seen is whether the patient can bear the cost of the surgery and whether he or she will develop cyberpsychosis due to the implant.

"Hi, Lao Wei."

The baby-faced woman with long black hair, wearing a smart suit, walked into the clinic as if she were entering her own home.

"What kind of wind has brought this big shot like you here?" Victor teased.

"Stop kidding me, why are you opening the door so late?" the woman asked.

Victor laughed: "Hmph...who knows, maybe it's just to wait for you."

The woman shrugged her shoulders: "Damn, I really have face."

Victor said: "I took an order and had to stay up late to work, but you, V, why are you here so late?"

V curled his lips helplessly: "Hmm... The company recently had a project that required me to go to Europe. It was originally scheduled for... next week, but I received the notice and have to leave now. As for the reason... you also know The neighborhood has not been peaceful recently, and the wasteland headquarters encountered a little trouble today."

"Little trouble? I heard that a cyberpsycho broke into Arasaka Tower."

"It's okay. The man's name seems to be David, and he didn't do anything." V picked up a can of drink next to Victor's computer, opened the bottle cap and said, "My subordinate had contact with him, a boy from the neighborhood, he seemed to be In this way, I am too lazy to look at the specific information, but the key point is that the monster appeared in the place where Adam Hammer disappeared."

V drank water and said: "So let me remind you not to run to Watson District recently. A robot suspected of being an alien appeared there a few days ago."

"V, you must have something else to do." Victor said seriously.

"Haha... That's it, Lao Wei, I'm going to be away for a long time this time, so I plan to spend the money for the prosthetic body that I haven't given you before..."

"That's no need. You can keep it for yourself. V, these three patients are a big deal." Victor tapped the electronic card on the table: "I checked, it's 25 in total, but The price I charge is definitely not that much, and I might be able to close the business for a while after finishing this order.”

V smiled and said: "Idiot, where did you get taken advantage of?"

"Are you unjust?" Victor looked solemnly: "No, their examination data are very special, and this operation is very difficult."

Victor pointed to one of the data and said: "His adrenaline secretion and nervous system are different from humans, or in other words, his physical fitness is better than humans. If an implant is inserted during surgery, it will definitely destroy his body. When the time comes, his physical functions will actually decline. Even if he is transformed into a robot, he may be even worse than himself now."

Victor pointed to another one and said: "30% of this girl has a mechanical structure, and the bone hardness and muscle strength should have been modified. The most special thing is the core device in her body... I guess it may be from Europe. New products developed.”

"What about the last one?" V asked.

"He, the most interesting guy, tell me why Adam Hammer hasn't gone crazy after 97% of his body modifications."

"Because that guy was already crazy before his transformation."

"He is very similar to Adam Hammer, and his brain tolerance is different from ordinary people."

"Lao Wei, should you be more careful?" V was a little worried.

"Don't worry, they don't have any bad intentions, and who can't get along with money." Victor said: "They are very interesting. One of the boys told me that he deleted all the files for that girl."

"Fuck...a little bit heartless...I guess what he is trying to say is that he formatted the memory of his ex-girlfriend for that girl." V looked into the room, drank up the drink and threw it in Trash Can: "Okay, Lao Wei, take care of yourself..."

She stood up and said, "I have to go. If Jack comes here tomorrow, please speak up for me."

"Can't you reach Jack?" Victor asked.

"That guy is hanging out in the bar." V walked to the door and suddenly turned around: "By the way, remember to check the circuit at all times in the past two days. Someone saw someone from the Voodoo Gang nearby."

"Take care of yourself and remember to bring me souvenirs."

"That will be half a year later." V waved his hand and left the room.

A high-end floating car was parked in a dilapidated neighborhood. V got on the car, resting his chin on his hand and closing his eyes: "Let's go to the company."

In the clinic, Victor looked at the data on the screen with a sad expression.

"It's not easy... the surgery is very troublesome."

……

Inside, Marger pressed against the wall.

"That's V."

"It should be V." Li Nuo sat in front of one of Victor's computers and said nonchalantly: "V is not a dangerous person, and her job is the high-level counter-intelligence department and she will not interfere with other things. Unless we hurt Victor."

Marjie touched his chin: "Would you like to try it?"

Li Nuo's eyes widened: "That's the protagonist!"

Marger: "Don't you just like to do special things to trigger hidden tasks?"

Li Nuo: "Then you also need to have a basic understanding of the worldview."

Li Nuo stared at the content on the screen, lost in thought...

He checked online and found that in 2040, alien creatures appeared in Night City. The strange thing is that no real aliens have been caught so far, but both the official and the public believe that aliens exist. And stop in every corner of the world.

In the same year, 2040, there was an incident of monsters attacking slums in South America, and similar monsters were discovered in Night City in the decades after that.

One of these creatures, called the "demon", has been active in the Night City area in recent years.

In 2070, the Arasaka Group announced that it had developed alien floating technology and cooperated with biotechnology to build a floating city using this technology. The first stop they chose was "Night City".

On January 2076, 1, Huangban Group began to promote the "City in the Sky" plan.

The above is all the information collected by Li Nuo. More information about monsters and aliens seems to have been banned by the authorities through other channels.

If he were in the real world, he could find a way to hack into the computer port, but here, just using this computer with a matrix appearing on the screen from time to time was a struggle for him.

"Except for the problems caused by aliens, the rest of the story is the same as the original version," Li Nuo said.

"You can check to see if Ghost in the Shell shows up," Marger said.

Li Nuo said while typing on the keyboard: "I have checked, and there are no results for keyword searches such as "Nine Lessons", but there is a high probability that there is no setting for 'Ghost in the Shell'. After all, although there are It's cyberpunk, but there's actually a huge difference in details, and the worldview similar to 'City of Monsters' shouldn't overlap with this one."

Marger said: "In other words, aliens and monsters simply appeared here."

"It seems so, um... I always feel that the situation is a little bad... I see that the data of those parts are different from those in the game. Do you want to rob Arasaka Tower in the last hour..." Li Nuo said: "That's right. , how are those drawings of yours?"

There are a total of 6 blueprints obtained by killing Adam's Hammer. One thing to mention here is that when there is a blueprint reward in a task and involves non-team cooperation, there is a probability that the reward blueprint will only be awarded to one person, but the quality will increase.

"Have you heard of arms with floating technology?" Marger pulled out a drawing from the table and slid it to Li Nuo's side.

"Cyberpunk's arms... really don't have this kind of floating arm?" Li Nuo glanced at it: "Isn't this the Iron Fist?"

"Two, the chat is over." Victor walked in, holding three printed reports to them.

A systematic voice came to Marger's ears:

[Side mission has been triggered: Assistant Victor]

[Task level: lv18]

[Task details: Become Victor's apprentice, or use your "Mecha Expertise" to spy on his medical information. You have 6 hours to memorize all his medical plans]

[Task reward: Summon Victor’s projection (which can help you perform surgery at any time, or explain the knowledge of prosthetic transformation)]

Marjie touched his chin, his eyes shining brightly...

……

Next, according to Victor's description, Li Nuo and Cha Bai were not suitable for extensive implant surgery. Strictly speaking, their metabolism and nervous system were no longer normal, or in other words, completely different from humans.

What works for them is finding a lab to volunteer at.

In other words, Li Nuo must say goodbye to implants in the circulatory system and nervous system.

Li Nuo looked at the pile of reports, holding his nose with his fingers, thinking in his mind.

Players' growth needs to be based on consistent physical and mental qualities.

At that time, after Chabai was subdued, the system gave a corresponding explanation: The lower limit of flesh and blood body is low, but the growth and plasticity are high. The lower limit of steel body is high, but growth and plasticity are limited. Mechanical bodies need to be constantly updated with better prosthetics and bionics. Organs can gain stronger capabilities.

If you are in the mood to turn yourself into a cyber psychopath, why not think about how to go to the world of Super Robot Wars?

If Li Nuo had been given the choice, he would not have had too many implant surgeries.

There are only three things he wants, a double jump, a pain editor, and a bionic joint stress reducer.

They only require a simple spiritual connection and will not destroy or replace the original physical body.

There is a more important reason:
There were only 12 hours left, less than 10 hours left before the end of the main plot. During this time, he wanted to find a few things and take a look at the specific content of hidden tasks such as aliens.

Li Nuo stated his request.

Lao Wei calculated it and said: "I still have to make you a miniature electronic brain for connection, and... you'd better make an arm. I don't mean amputation, but a simple metal arm, that's more convenient. Use a joint stress reducer.”

"how much is it?"

"3."

"Ah... how long will it take?"

"Your operation is very fast, only... one hour." But Victor pointed to Chabai who was still lying on the hospital bed and said: "This lady is different. Her physique is very special, even if... …”

"Show me all the implants that can be used." Cha Bai's voice came over.

She stood up slowly, panting heavily, put one arm on her knees, lifted part of her long skirt to reveal her muddy riding boots, and said to them: "About my own mechanical body, the knowledge stored in my memory bank , more than any of you."

Over the next 10 minutes, the conversation gradually became unusual.

"One of [Sianwistan] and [Krenzikov] is a triggering skill, and the other is a passive skill. The latter is more useful to me. It makes nerve connections. The incision site extends from the lower abdomen. Try not to touch me. For the core furnace, the eyes don't need to be changed. You won't need tactical goggles if you replace the corneas. The muscle groups don't need to be changed, as that will affect the upgrade points. Micro rotors, bionic joints, dense bone marrow, and megatron generators are just a few of these. Judging from the difficulty of the operation, the Furious Type [-] is okay. As a trigger, it means a lot to me. All circulatory systems can be installed, forget about the epidermal system, it’s too bad.”

Chabai glanced at the arm parts.

"Gorilla arm, mantis arm... by the way, is there anything more powerful?"

Marjie took out the [Drawing of the Floating Arm].

"You need to control the anti-gravity system... you can try it." Chabai put the drawing aside and said by the way: "By the way, it's best to make something in my brain that can turn on the 'hacker'. I already have a small number of hackers. Function, try to see if it can be activated, and also install a double jump for me, that’s about all.”

Victor took a sip of beer to calm down his shock.

"That... girl, if you transform like this, you will become a madman."

Cha Bai said: "No, the strength of these modification implants is too low. Can you install a shoulder turret for me? I don't like using firearms. It would be much easier to have an automatic turret."

Is it... too low intensity?Want automatic turrets?Victor touched his nose.

To use an analogy, Cha Bai's request was that 50% of the Adam's Hammer "corpse" and the anti-gravity system of the prosthetic King Kong should be installed on her.

"Okay... about... 10..." Victor prepared the surgical tools and said with trembling lips, "But the operation will take more than 7 hours."

"Doctor, there are two more things." Cha Bai said: "There is an energy furnace above my abdomen, and there is a self-destruct mechanism inside. You must not touch it."

Victor froze on the spot, hey... why is there a self-destruct system?
"Also, my internal muscles are very hard." Chabai said, picking up a scalpel, cutting his finger, and then showing the scratched finger skin: "Normally, the blade will not hurt me at all."

She turned her head: "Li Nuo, come and cut me."

Li Nuo: "???"

Cha Bai nodded: "No one can cut my skin except you."

Li Nuo and Victor stood together.

Victor: "Brother...she is very important to you. How important is it to you?"

Li Nuo: "That... is very complicated. Anyway... what she said is right."

Victor coughed lightly, looked at Marjie, and said, "This... you shouldn't have too many..."

Marger: "How about a fight with me?"

Victor: "???"

Marjie continued: "If you win, I will be your little brother. If I win, show me the medical information."

Victor is a little tired.

He should listen to V and be careful about these three people. Although the three of them did not do anything to harm others, they just make people feel... very scary.

At least judging from the current Victor, Li Nuo is the most normal one.

"Okay...I'll show you the information and forget about the fight." Victor said.

"No!" Li Nuo suddenly stopped and said, "I'll pay more and you two will have a fight!"

Only then did Victor realize... something was wrong with Li Nuo...

15 minute later.

Marger ended the fighting confrontation while being ridden and beaten by Victor...

Li Nuo used a pen to record his thoughts about the scene just now:
"The combat effectiveness of people with a cyber worldview is not limited by attribute values. Their individual attack power sometimes increases explosively, thanks to the help of prosthetics and implants."

"Marjie's physical ability has actually exceeded the upper limit of human physical strength in this world view, but with the combination of unskilled fighting methods and a lack of insight, the physical body is still not as good as the mechanical ascension of the same level..."

"Conclusion [-]: I can fight ten Marjie."

"Conclusion [-]: The high-end combat power of this cyberpunk world lies in monsters and aliens (not sure), but as long as I don't encounter small boss-level monsters, it's no problem to walk sideways."

"Conclusion Three: Don't go head-to-head with bullets."

"Conclusion [-]: Victor cannot trigger tasks such as 'boxing match'."

If Marjie knew that Li Nuo was doing data experiments on him, he would flood Li Nuo's soul with [Shit Blocks].

Victor picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from his face. He was confused.

what am i doing...

"Okay... the operation will start on you first." Victor and Li Nuo said.

"No, cut me open first." Cha Bai said.

Victor: "You can do whatever you want..."

Then, Cha Bai entered the operating room, and Li Nuo and Victor borrowed a chainsaw and followed him in.

"Are you not going to do the main plot anymore?" Cha Bai asked as he took off his shirt.

"Actually, most of what can be found has been found now. Adam Hammer... Terrorist Mobile Team... David, they have everything worth getting." Li Nuo said: "The difficulty of the main line is The 'question mark' can be understood as the upper and lower limits of the difficulty are too large, or the difficulty is too high to be calculated. No matter which one, it is not the best choice for you, me and Marjie." Chabai took out a pen and found it. , lifted up the clothes, clamped the corners of the clothes with the chin, and looked in the mirror and drew upward from the navel: "You cut according to this line, I will mark the position of the energy furnace, be careful when cutting there."

"Hey, do you still have a self-destruct mechanism?" Li Nuo asked.

Cha Bai hummed: "The system did not remove my self-destruct function and transformed it into an explosion starter connected to the spine."

Li Nuo: "..."

Cha Bai: "Don't worry, I won't use it."

She lay on the bed, took off her shoes, lifted up her skirt, and drew a line on her ankle, and said: "The lines I drew are all on the edges of my own muscles. I'll leave it to you later. Be safe." .”

"I guess what you mean by safety is to cut you into pieces and blow yourself up. Let's go home together..." Li Nuo stared at him and picked up the chainsaw.

"I'll cast a paralysis spell on myself first, good night." Cha Bai recited an unknown spell, and then fell into a deep sleep.

He first took out [high-grade white honey] from his generous pocket to relieve the ongoing toxicity, and then drank several bottles of decoction that he didn't usually use to trigger toxic overload.

Turn on [Intrinsic Potential], trigger [Red Tearstone Ring] and [Artificial Chip Dying Attack UPLv1] after the blood volume is reduced, take out the prepared [Chestnut Wine], and when the blood volume drops below 10%, activate [Residual Potential]. Bloody One].

Ten minutes later.

Li Nuo came out of the operating room with a red face.

He covered his forehead, threw the broken electric saw to the ground, and said to himself: "No wonder inflatable dolls are so expensive..."

Victor opened the door of the operating room, and a bloody smell comparable to that of a slaughterhouse rushed out.

"Let it taste first..." Victor said: "Brother, let me do it to you first."

Li Nuo is sorting out his memory bank: "Okay..."

after an hour.

Li Nuo opened his eyes.

"The operation was successful," Victor said.

"Are you going to congratulate me for turning into a girl next?" Li Nuo said.

"Your mouth reminds me of a friend we met just now." Victor put away the surgical tools and said, "Friend, I'm very surprised. Your body structure is the same as that of humans, but why..."

Li Nuo used [Seal of Yaksi] on Victor.

Victor was stunned for a moment, his expression became dull, and returned to normal after a few seconds.

"Just now……"

"You said you were going to prepare for an operation on our young lady."

"Um... yes, that's right."

Li Nuo is looking at the newly acquired abilities:

【Double Jump】

[Type: Skill]

[Effect: Actively triggering skills without consuming too much physical energy, but be careful not to damage the implants in your ankles]

[Brief description: Demon hunter double jump?Ha ha?Hahahahaha! 】

……

[Bionic Joint Stress Reducer: Stabilizes the Arm]

[Type: Skill]

[Effect: Passive skill, the recoil of long-range weapons is reduced by 12%, and the strength requirement of long-range weapons is reduced by 10]

[Brief description: Tom sat on the railway track in despair. As a killer, he has Parkinson's disease. The trembling of his arms indicates that he is no longer worthy of being a killer, but...is there any meaning in living?Tom decided to let himself die in the most punk way. The train was approaching from a distance. In an instant, Tom suddenly dodged the front of the car that was so close. It was not that he was afraid, but he saw an advertisement for bionic joint reduction. The pressure machine and the implant that stabilized his arm rekindled his desire for life. Half a year later, he became the most skilled chef in Night City]

Li Nuo: "I..."

……

[Pain Editor: Pain Reduction]

[Type: Skill]

[Effect: Passive skill, reduce pain by 10%]

[Brief description: This is a serious summary, it is best not to take it as such]

Li Nuo: "Huh? You are so serious! What about the follow-up?"

Victor turned his head: "What's wrong?"

"fine……"

"By the way, you have to rest for at least an hour before you can move." Victor ordered.

Li Nuo responded and looked at his left hand. There was a bandage from the back of the hand to the elbow, and there were splicing-like gaps on the fingers.

[Bionic projectile launching arm type four]

【Quality: Excellent】

[Effect: Can launch various small missiles]

[Brief description: No one knows how Victor put the spare arm of Adam Hammer in your hand]

He saw a small exclamation point below the panel.

Li Nuo read silently.

Then one after another jumped out of the panel.

[Collected racial data: bionic arms, aliens, monsters from the cyber world, demon hunters]

[Hidden missions collected: Just now, V told Victor that a mechanical alien appeared nearby]

[Collection and combination of all collection elements]

[Racial advancement mission has been triggered]

【Weapon Master from Space】

[Task level: lv24]

[Mission brief description: Good evening, Demon Hunter!Yesterday's Dead Man Lotto ended up with a total of thirty numbers. Thanks to the endless overtime, there were ten numbers hanging in front of the computer desk alone.An intermediary contacted a group of mercenaries. Yes, they were those gangsters. A group of guys who wanted to be big shots were preparing to complete a death mission with guns in hand. Recently, an alien machine appeared in the Watson area. , let me tell you a secret... That robot is the best weapons workshop in the world. You might be able to chat with it, maybe you two will see each other right!By the way, let me remind you, if you want the invitation letter for this mission, you must go to Grayson. He has a card recording the location of this mercenary operation. This guy's location... is probably in the garbage mountain in the north. 】

[Task start time: 3 hours later]

[Mission Reward: Demon Hunter Race Advancement]

[Note: This task involves a hidden world view and the upper limit of difficulty is extremely high, please consider it carefully]

Victor heard a clanking sound behind him. He turned around and found that the operating bed was empty and Li Nuo ran out.

"It's really... coming and going like the wind..." Victor's soul of complaining has awakened.

……

At 2:10 at night.

Li Nuo ran into the car they drove over and dug out several guns among the pile of weapons.

M251S Ajax, kinetic assault rifle.

Prelude, kinetic energy revolver.

The Crusher, a kinetic shotgun.

Asura, a smart sniper rifle.

The above four hot weapons were all picked out from the arsenals of the Terrorist Mobile Team and David's team.

He put on the clothes of a hunter, put on a top hat, and drank [chestnut wine].

Wipe the corners of your mouth clean.

He took out a looted tactical belt, fixed the weapon on it, carried a [weapon box] containing several melee weapons, found a car at close range, smashed the window in, stole the car and lit it on fire.

He knew how to steal cars, but it was his first time driving.

The moment he stepped on the accelerator, he hit the wall.

"Depend on……"

"hurry up……"

Li Nuo adapted and drove out of the neighborhood.

There was no reason not to do the advanced quest for the Demon Hunter. Even though it involved hiding the world view and was very dangerous, at least it was tempting enough.

There are three hours until the mission begins.

He was going to the garbage dump in the north to find Grayson. If this character didn't have the same name... then this guy should be carrying a legendary pistol.

[Electronic brain activation, there are still 4 hours left to use]

"Victor also put something in my brain..."

Li Nuo used a free hand to touch the back of his head, where there was a socket-like groove.

He opened the panel as he drove.

A comment popped up.

[Turn on the brain connection system]

[The upper limit of the number of chips that can be inserted into the brain is: 3]

"[Man-made chip near-death attack UP] chip is one, I can still get two more..." Li Nuo kicked the accelerator without noticing, and almost hit a black man on the side of the road.

"Fuck you!" the man cursed.

Li Nuo's pupils recorded the appearance of that person.

"Black people in Night City? Voodoo gang? It's probably not a good thing for them to appear here."

"Forget it, don't worry about it."

Li Nuo stepped on the accelerator. He once wrote a list called "One Hundred Things to Do Before Death." Driving through a red light at night was one of them.

A wish came true today.

wrong……

is two.

……

Half an hour later, we drove to a garbage mountain in the north.

Several people sat on the edge of the dump.

Li Nuo turned on the high beam and looked ahead.

The few people were shaken and stood up and began to scold him.

"Excuse me...who is Grayson?" Li Nuo asked loudly.

One of them came out and said, "That's me, who the hell are you?"

Li Nuo saw the silver gun hanging on this guy's waist...then a strong murderous intention appeared in the depths of his eyes. He stepped on the accelerator and hit Grayson, knocking him away.

Then he got a [Queen's Seal] and jumped out of the car window, using an [M251S Ajax] to shoot at the remaining people wildly.

A minute later, he picked up the silver pistol next to Grayson's body.

【Malorian Arms Company 3516】

【Excellent quality】

[Equipment conditions: reaction 30, strength 20, insight 40]

[Numerical bonus: reaction +5]

[Effect 1: Comes with the skill "Playing with Guns and Flowers"]

[Effect 2: Bullets can penetrate walls]

[Brief description: Johnny Silverhand’s exclusive gun]

"Very good..." Li Nuo licked his lips and began to search Grayson's pocket again. He found an electronic card, clicked it and a paragraph popped up:

[Hey friend, you are very famous recently!

I'm going to invite you to the game of hunting mechanical aliens. I'm not a middleman. I just think it's too dangerous, but you can do it.

Remember to bring the monsters you killed. I also have a deal with Biotechnology.

The money will certainly not be short.

But after everything is done.

After all, there is no point in a dead person holding money.

But listen to me, this deal will make you famous.

I promise!
There is an invitation in this electronic card. You take it and tell those people that they are my Grayson friends, and then start killing like crazy!

I'm waiting for your good news.

To: Jack Wills]

Li Nuo touched it again and found that there were about a dozen of the same electronic cards. Except for the name of the person who received the card at the end, the rest were the same.

Suddenly he heard a voice behind him.

Turning around, he saw a girl sticking her head out from the garbage pile nearby. She looked at Li Nuo with fear in her eyes.

Li Nuo stared behind the girl.

A shadow crawled out of the dark garbage with a movement that only a monster could do, opened its mouth, and bit the girl.

　There are a lot of words, so I posted it late. I am still writing, and there are still more.
