Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 171 What is the business talking for so long (thanks to the leader of the 'Third Emperor Guilliman')
"Fuck"

"It hurts, it hurts."

V closed his eyes tightly, muttering in pain.

She raised her left hand to touch her forehead, and a cold and hard touch came, and the abnormal warmth aroused her vigilance.

V struggled to open his blurred eyes, and found that in front of him was a mechanical prosthetic palm, showing a silver metallic luster under the light.

She moved her mind and tried to clench her fist.

The metal palm was clenched into an iron fist immediately, and a strong force came, as if a naturally chiseled arm.

Apart from not being able to feel heat or cold, this mechanical prosthetic palm can fulfill any of her thoughts and intentions.

V opened his five metal fingers again, his eyes started from the fingertips, and followed the entire palm of the prosthetic body to the forearm.

I don't know when.

Her left forearm has been completely replaced by a mechanical prosthetic arm. The joints between the machinery and the muscles are tightly stitched, and even the meticulous embedding can be seen.

V raised his right arm again, placing his left and right hands in front of his eyes for comparison.

One side is mechanical, the other side is native.

The silver robotic hand was hard and strong, and the fibrous original hand was slender and smooth, with bruises and plaques that did not dissipate.

How is this going?

At the moment her head is dizzy.

V only remembers stealing the subnet Poseidon data at the Batty Hotel, and was suddenly hit by an unidentified falling object. The aftermath caused her to be seriously injured, and she was crushed under the gravel and passed out. clear.

But the brain can still vaguely recall some scenes.

A black mechanical figure, which seems to be called a hammer
correct!

Adam Hammer!

Think of this.

V felt a surge of anger welling up on his brows, the dizzy brain load had reached its limit, and the pain after the effects of the anesthesia hit again.

"Well"

After a few seconds and waiting for the headache to subside, V looked around and found himself lying on the operating table chair.

This is a prosthetic body clinic with red light, and all kinds of medical equipment are available.

In front of the counter not far away, an old man with sunglasses was sitting alone, wearing light blue overalls, with a stethoscope hanging around his neck, staring at the electronic screen on the table.

V deduced from his attire that this uncle should be a doctor in this prosthetic body clinic.

In addition to the doctor at the prosthetic body clinic, there was also an ice blue and light rainbow figure that attracted her attention.

It was a silver-haired girl, leaning against the gate of the clinic, with a pair of deep neon pupils looking out of the door, with dried blood on her fingers.

V doesn't know each other at all, and has no impression in his memory.

She was lying on her side on the operating table chair, half of her body supported on her elbows, feeling a bit embarrassed.

All the wounds on her body have been bandaged, and the prosthetic arm implantation operation has been completed. All the circumstances indicate that she received treatment in this prosthetic clinic.

But she had never met the two of them before, and she was still in a coma, not knowing what happened the whole time.

Numerous doubts, apologies, thanks, and other emotions were gathered in her mind, and she only felt that the CPU of her brain was overloaded to the point that it could not run.

Old Wei was still staring at the electronic tablet alone, Lucy leaned against the door and kept silent, neither of them paid any attention to V.

She just woke up, she didn't know what to do, she was stunned on the operating table chair.

After a while.

Lao Wei noticed that V woke up and regained consciousness, and reminded him while looking at the screen.

"Now is not the time to show off, you still need to rest more."

V endured the pain in the wound, and smiled reluctantly: "Thank you, I'm much better now."

"That's good." Lao Wei replied very simply.

V is a little confused about the current situation, why the prosthetic doctor didn't mention the cost of treatment.

According to common sense, if the patient is treated successfully, the next step is to pay.

Especially for this kind of rescue that has not been negotiated in advance, it is easier for prosthetic doctors to raise prices and ask for excessive prices.

But the person in front of him not only didn't mention the money, but also reminded himself to take more rest, which was somewhat weird.

From the point of view of medical treatment and prosthetic arm implantation, the cost of such superb medical skills and high-quality prosthetic body is definitely not low.

V, who has always been used to wandering the streets and running around, always feels that something is not right. There may be good people in Night City, but she will not be the one to meet.

But no matter how you say it, the other party saves people first, and she definitely recognizes this kind of favor, so she first thanked her to show her attitude.

"Thank you."

After thanking you, V tentatively asked, "How do you charge for this?"

She wasn't worried about running into an unscrupulous doctor, after all, the other party had already taken the initiative to treat her. If she wanted money from the beginning, she wouldn't have to be so troublesome.

What she was worried about was that she was too cash-strapped and couldn't afford serious medical expenses at all, so she made a joke.

Now she is already heavily in debt, and there is really no way to guarantee that the credit can be paid off
Without raising his head, Old Wei said bluntly, "Don't worry about the cost, someone has already taken care of it for you."

Someone paid in advance?

There is such a philanthropist in Night City?

But he was still met by himself?

V immediately sensed that something was wrong, and then endured a headache and tried hard to recall the previous details.

Copy data, voodoo gang, building collapsed, Delaman.
Oh, right!

A black taxi, it should be Delaman
She remembered some vague fragments, when she was carried out of the ruins and put into a black Delaman.

Who is it?
She vaguely remembered that she leaned her head against the opponent's arms, and smeared the blood from his mouth and nose on his body, staining his black coat and white shirt.

I remembered!

Suit!

The man in the suit showed up at the time, and it was he who dragged himself out of the wreckage and carried him into a Delamain taxi.

It seemed that the silver-haired girl was also beside her, holding her wound to stop the bleeding.

Later on, V was completely fragmented, and when he woke up, he lay here.

The man in the suit must have paid for her medical expenses. No wonder such a precious prosthetic arm was put on as soon as it was said, and every stitch was her life.

Where is there any good person, she is not the one who moves forward with debts in the end.

V suddenly feels like crying but has no tears.

The task is messed up, the forearm is lost, and the debt is still high. How long will it take to pay it off?
If she hadn't lost an arm and couldn't work, she would really like to take it off and return it to the prosthetic doctor.

V asked in a low voice: "Then may I ask, how much is this prosthetic arm worth?"

Only then did Lao Wei turn around the sliding stool chair, and explained in a hoarse voice: "Your left arm is in a serious condition. It is an emergency traumatic prosthetic implant. In order to ensure accurate nerve sensing, a nerve synapse is installed Extended Enhancement."

"In addition, your physical fitness is very good. In order to cope with more complicated scenes in the future, a titanium bionic bone and a high-energy micro-rotor are installed, so that your left arm can not only have strength, but also have lightning-like hand speed."

"For example, if you are a mercenary, you must fight and kill. In the end, I added a thermal praying mantis knife and a smart connection for you."

"In short, the good guy has everything for you."

Lao Wei seems to be very satisfied with his work, and when talking about this multifunctional prosthetic arm, his tone is slightly proud.

He is a person who loves what he does. He has always practiced the basic skills of body building to the best since he became a boxer and became a prosthetic doctor.

"." After listening to the introduction, when V looked at his left arm again, his whole body became unwell. I'm afraid it's not because he has a diamond arm inlaid on his body, how much does it cost?
In the second half of my life, I not only need to pay for car loans and housing loans, but now I also have an extra hand loan.

But things have come to this point, and V can only accept everything calmly.

She didn't dare to keep asking about the price of the prosthetic arm, since she couldn't afford it anyway.

"Thank you, I'm very satisfied, really." She sighed softly, sat on the edge of the operating chair, and touched her left hand cherishingly.

She came back to her senses, and then remembered what she wanted to ask just now, what happened in it, why Tang Yu came to rescue her after she fainted, and why Adam Heavy Hammer appeared in the Barty Hotel.

V remembered Adam's heavy hammer not only because he shattered the building, but also because he remembered his terrifying strength. With one enemy and two, he severely injured the Savage King and the Voodoo Gang.

Adam Hammer is so famous, no wonder he is called a living legend.

"My name is V. I grew up on Heywood Road. I just returned to Night City from Atlanta. I'm really grateful for what happened today."

"To be honest, I owe you a great favor. You will definitely come to me for anything in the future." After V finished speaking, he looked at Lao Wei and Lucy respectively, with a little sincerity in his eyes.

V is such a girl, who treats her well, she treats them better.

Lao Wei looked at V through the sunglasses, and smiled gratifiedly: "Don't worry about it."

Lucy turned her head slightly to look at V, and said softly, "You're welcome."

She knew that V's action was to steal the subnet Poseidon's data, so she was attacked by Adam's hammer.

Tang Yu's arrangement of the whole matter is closely related to Lucy. To some extent, V's injury has an inseparable relationship with her.

Seeing that V has regained consciousness, Lucy plans to leave here.

Previously promised Tang Yu to guard V, she stayed for a whole night without leaving for half a step.

She straightened up and was about to step up the stairs when V suddenly asked, "I want to know what happened."

Lucy turned her head and reminded: "You can ask your middleman, there will be an answer."

Done.

Lucy stepped up the steps and left the Old Victoria Underground Prosthetic Clinic.

She didn't choose to directly tell V the truth before and after, because the most fundamental reason for this incident hides Tang Yu's most important secret, and no one else can know it except her.

If V wants to know something, she should go to her intermediary to verify it. With Tang Yu's arrangement, she will definitely explain it properly.

V felt somewhat regretful when he saw the silver-haired girl leave alone.

The silver-haired girl was at the first scene at the time, so she must know a lot of details, but judging from the attitude of the other party, it seems that she doesn't want to reveal too much inside information.

V knows that the silver-haired girl has been staying here to protect her, and this kindness is in his heart.

in fact.

V can also get the answer by asking Tang Yu, but now that she is penniless, she doesn't want to see this creditor for a moment.

It's better to ask the middleman Gloria, and explain the details of the mission failure to her face to face.

V always thinks of the flirtatious red-haired proprietress, who is generous and beautiful, and has a top-notch figure.

More importantly, the entrustment commission she arranged was generous, and she could not receive such a cost-effective way of life in other places.

But he was the one who didn't live up to expectations, messed up the commission, and was ashamed to face Gloria.

But there are some things that cannot be avoided. She wanted to think about bringing some small gifts there, but she gave up this idea when she thought she was penniless.

"There are many good things in the treasure chest, but it's not good to give them away," V muttered in his heart.

The plan has been decided.

She got off the operating chair, came to Lao Wei's side, and expressed her thanks again. When she got closer, she realized that Lao Wei was watching a boxing match.

She said a little excitedly: "Do you also like to watch boxing matches? When I was in Heywood, I really liked boxing. I knocked down many street hooligans without mercy."

Old Wei smiled: "I see, you are a talented boxer. But there is still a kid in Heywood, maybe he can fight you for a few rounds."

"Really? Those who grew up on the streets of Heywood are all born boxers." V raised his left arm and glanced, sighing: "But now I am also a technological boxer."

Lao Wei looked at V and said with relief: "It's not bad, maybe someday it will make a name for itself. If you want to add new functions, you are welcome to come anytime."

V thanked him, clenched his iron fist, and laughed at himself: "Maybe I can get the legendary title of Ruthless Iron Hand."

"By the way, I still don't know how to call it." V felt that the uncle in front of him gave people an innate sense of intimacy, gentle voice, and unhurried steps. He sat alone in front of the counter and looked at the former Boxing.

"You are Tang's friend. They used to call me Lao Wei." Lao Wei introduced his name calmly. He loves to deal with young people like Tang Yu, and he can always see the shadow of himself from them.

"Old Wei? Cool name, thank you, Lao Wei." V remembered the name that he had a good relationship with.

Lao Wei just smiled and nodded, and then said: "Go to work, kid, when you are free, let Tang take that Heywood boy Jack to meet you, the three of you will definitely get along."

It's normal to get along with Heywood, but with the guy in the suit?To her, this is like a tomato and an apple, except that they are both red, and have nothing to do with each other.

A company executive, a street cyberpunk, doesn't look like a group of people.

Apart from the debt relationship, there seems to be no other possibility.

V shrugged and said helplessly, "Okay, Lao Wei, I'll come to you again when I'm free, and I have to go to work this time."

Lao Wei waved his hand and signaled her to take care of herself: "Pay attention to the injury, there is endless work, take care of your body."

V earnestly agreed, and then left the prosthesis clinic, saying goodbye to Lao Wei again before leaving.

She came to the road and was about to go directly to Lizzie's Bar to explain the entrustment to Gloria.

Starting from here, it's not too far from Lizzie Bar, and it won't take too long to walk there.

Although she was injured, she had recovered a lot after resting for a while, which did not hinder her movement.

V wrapped his coat tightly, covered the medical bandages on his body, and started towards Lizi.

Not long after she walked away, a strange figure appeared on the spot, quietly looking in the direction of V's departure, with strange blue eyes.

Lizi Bar, the private private box in the VIP area on the second floor.

Tang Yu sat on the soft leather seat, and the round glass table in front of him placed some exquisite drinks and refreshments.

The temperature in the box was moderate, so he took off his suit jacket and hung it neatly on the hanger. He was wearing a shirt and a bottoming T-shirt with the collar buttons unbuttoned, and his posture was relaxed.

It was the first time he came to the Lizzie Bar after it was renovated.

I brought Jack here to experience Chaomeng before, met Evelyn, and met Judy in the basement computer room.

And the hidden box where Tang Yu is now was specially prepared by Gloria for him.

The size of the box is not large, it can only accommodate four to five people, but in a place like Lizi Bar where every inch of land is expensive, it is really not easy to have such a box vacant.

In addition, all kinds of signal shielding, transmission encryption, super dream experience, and high-end service functions are all available, which shows that Gloria has put a lot of thought into it.

now.

Gloria has basically secured her status as the proprietress of the bar, Mox has been reborn from the blood, and Lizi has also changed her face. Under Gloria's leadership, the business has improved to a higher level.

Mox's girls centered on Lizi Bar, occupying several surrounding streets and alleys, and many street girls gathered nearby to make a living.

They may not earn much, but their safety is greatly guaranteed, which has really increased the popularity and support of the Mox Gang.

At that time, Tang Yu supported Gloria with 100 million euros, in order to let her integrate into Mox as soon as possible, use the money to pave the way, and lay the foundation for the establishment of an intelligence network in the future.

He didn't come here to experience super dreams or entertainment, but mainly to meet Sasha and chat with Gloria about some serious business by the way.

Tang Yu took a sip from his teacup, and found that he had been sitting alone in the room for a quarter of an hour, and neither Sasha nor Gloria came in.

The two of them were chattering, and they didn't show up after sending Tang Yu into the box, not knowing what to do outside.

Tang Yu is not in a hurry, drink two sips of tea first and so on.

at this time.

Outside the box door.

Gloria and Sasha were standing at the door, whispering to each other.

"No, no, Mr. Tang will definitely not agree."

"Mr. Tang does not agree to start the intimate mode, Sasha can't force it like this."

"Mr. Tang will be unhappy."

Sasha wrapped her coat tightly, trying not to let Gloria take it off, and a snow-white blush appeared on the neckline when she pulled it.

Gloria had no choice but to let go of her hand, and seeing Sasha's look that she would rather die than obey, she sighed helplessly.

"Sasha, how can you do this, everything is waiting for Mr. Tang's order, and only then can you succeed in the year of the monkey."

Sasha was tightly wrapped, but her beautiful figure was still highlighted under the long coat.

She looked a little aggrieved, her cheeks were slightly hot, she bit her lip stubbornly, and shook her head desperately, unable to take this last step.

Sasha didn't feel wronged by Gloria's coercion, but blamed herself for not living up to expectations.

Obviously, he had done a long time of psychological construction before, and wanted to pass this hurdle, but he couldn't do it when the matter came to an end.

As Gloria said, that would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to make a big deal.

The reason is this, but the problem is that she really can't do it.

Gloria looked at Sasha seriously, trying to figure out where the problem was. She had clearly taught everything she could teach in bed, and Sasha was also shocked at the time, so why did she retreat at a critical moment.

If she couldn't find the problem, she couldn't force Sasha to come, and if she really caused trouble, she would be left behind.

"Okay, since Sasha is worried, why don't you just calm down and go in as usual, don't force yourself."

Sasha nodded, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and went to the gate to verify his identity and asked to enter the house.

soon.

The gate slides open automatically, and there is a shielded image at the door, making it impossible to see the interior of the box from the outside.

Sasha walked in and stood at the door as soon as he entered the house. The moment he saw Tang Yu's familiar face, he seemed to have returned to the days when the two were in the apartment.

I don't know if it's because I haven't seen Tang Yu for a long time, or because I thought too much before, and suddenly I want to cry even more.

"Hello, Mr. Tang."

Seeing Sasha standing at the door, Tang Yu seemed to be in a low mood with lowered eyebrows, so he stood up and walked to her, touched her cat's head, and asked softly.

"what happened?"

Sasha will definitely not be bullied when staying here with Gloria. It may be the first time he has been away from him for such a long time, and he is not used to it.

After all, when Sasha opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the 'master' Tang Yu.

This is not only a procedural setting, but also Sasha's long-standing experience and cognition.

Sasha shook his head slightly, held back his sobs and said, "Sasha is fine."

Seemingly feeling the temperature of Tang Yu's palm, she felt less wronged.

Tang Yu nodded slightly, only to realize that Sasha was wearing a long trench coat, and the temperature in the box was quite high, so there was no need to dress so tightly.

So he kindly reminded: "If you feel hot, just hang your coat over there."

"Ah?!" Sasha looked at Tang Yu in surprise, and quickly explained: "Not hot not hot, Sasha not hot"

As she said that, she tightened the belt a little more with both hands, because she was too shy inside the coat.

The most important thing is that Tang Yu did not turn on the intimacy mode, and her subconscious mind did not allow her to have such behavior, which made Sasha fall into a deep entanglement.

Tang Yu glanced at Sasha suspiciously, it was strange that she looked nervous.

It's not that she suspects that Sasha is lying, it's just that she is in an abnormal state today. Why did she suddenly become so sensitive when she was cute and cute before.

Sasha has undergone a high degree of cyber transformation, so he is not afraid of the cold and heat at all, and the temperature of the box is just right.

Tang Yu estimated that although Sasha was not bullied, he must have been educated by Gloria.

Reminiscent of Gloria's maturity, he could see through Sasha's intentions almost at a glance.

He felt a little helpless, and within a few days of sending Sasha to Gloria's side, he was almost taken astray.

It just so happens that I'm free today, so it's time to teach her well.

Sasha raised his head and asked obediently: "Mr. Tang, when can Sasha go back to the apartment?"

Tang Yu thought for a while, and then said frankly: "Wait a while, Sasha."

Gloria has only been in charge of the Lizzie Bar for a short time, and in order to avoid accidents, someone needs to be on guard.

Apart from Sasha, Tang Yu can't find a more suitable person.

They can be inseparable, as long as Sasha is around, he can keep abreast of the situation here.

Sasha nodded seriously, and the light in her eyes returned. As long as it is Tang Yu's explanation, she will complete it seriously.

Tang Yu finally touched Sasha's cat's head, and asked her to call Gloria in, and discuss with her about business.

Sasha turned around obediently and went out. After exiting the room, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and all the previous tension and annoyance disappeared.

"Sure enough, this is Sasha."

Gloria was wearing a red dress and was waiting at the door. Seeing that Sasha came out so quickly with the long coat and windbreaker all over her body, she knew that nothing would happen.

Some things can't be rushed, she came to Sasha and asked with concern: "Do you feel better?"

Sasha smiled and replied, "Well, it's much better to see Mr. Tang."

"That's good." Gloria has more of a kind of compassion for the innocent girl in front of her. It is really difficult to find another girl like her in Night City.

Sasha truthfully told Gloria about Tang Yu's explanation, and asked her to enter the box earlier, saying that Tang Yu had business to talk to her about.

business?

Hearing these two words, Gloria's face turned red, and then she stood nervously at the door of the box, and after being authenticated, she asked to enter.

Soon.

The gate slid open automatically, and Gloria stepped into the box, and the gate closed.

Sasha continued to wait at the door. She was responsible for the safety of Tang Yu and Gloria, so naturally she had to fulfill her responsibilities at all times.

But the clothes inside made it difficult for her to use her kung fu.

She had no choice but to fasten her belt to avoid accidental mistakes.

Time passed by.

Sasha was a little bored waiting outside the house, unconsciously, she was a little curious about what happened in the box.

Why did she come out within 5 minutes after entering the box, and why did Gloria stay so long when she entered the room to discuss business.

But after thinking about it, when she and Tang Yu lived in an apartment, they also stayed together for a long time, but they didn't talk much about business.

unconsciously.

Sasha recalled a lot of days when he was with Tang Yu and listened to him sing and tell stories.

The waiting time is always so long, even the sky is gradually getting dark.
