Cyberpunk: My system is divided into good and evil

Chapter 2 The Middleman

The upper and lower bodies of these cyborgs were all exposed with obvious white steel parts and black wires. The huge mechanical components made these prosthetics extremely inconsistent with the body.

This is the most common first-generation prosthetic in Emerald City. Apart from being bulky and not strong, it has almost no shortcomings.

After all, it's cheap.

Jiang Shu saw the homeless man being knocked unconscious by these reformers and carried him into a dilapidated pickup truck.

There is a totem printed on the compartment of the pickup truck.

It was a clenched fist, holding a bleeding heart.

"Mankaton, the Fist Gang."

The Riot Gang, a notorious gang in Manhattan and throughout the Emerald City.

As long as there is money-making business, there is no fist to help.

Among them, organ trafficking is naturally included.

Jiang Shu looked at the pickup truck going away, feeling a little heavy all of a sudden.

Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded from a gold shop at the end of the street.

Several masked reformers jumped out with assault rifles and disappeared around the street corner.

Taking advantage of the explosion and fire, many shops and non-staple food stores were also looted by many punks who fished in troubled waters.

Only some stores with big company logos were spared.

Ten minutes later, the heavily armed police finally arrived.

"It's not so easy to do good things." Jiang Shu looked at the burning street, the screaming crowd, and the blaring police sirens, and sighed, "It's easier to do bad things."

"And there are not many good people in Emerald City!"

Putting away the sentimental emotions just now, Jiang Shu touched his stomach that suddenly growled, and was about to go to a small restaurant to find something to eat to fill his stomach.

Although it was only late autumn, the chilly air had already begun to spread in the city.

I found a noodle shop, ordered a bowl of Japanese ramen, and Jiang Shu sat down at a seat by the window.

The reason why I chose a seat by the window is to make it easier to travel later.

I'm a man with a system, and it's impossible to just eat noodles.

Seeing the ramen being served, Jiang Shu moved his index finger and quickly ate up a bowl of ramen, even the soup.

After hiccupping, Jiang Shu called the waiter and said flatly, "It's really fucking unpalatable, like eating a lump of Xiang."

The waiter looked at the clean noodle bowl with disbelief.

"Ding, you have gained three points of malice, physical strength +1."

It seems that the scolding is still not harsh enough... Jiang Shu pinched his throat, stood up, picked up the noodle bowl and slammed it down, "I didn't expect everyone here to eat it with such relish, tsk Tsk tsk, I heard that dogs can't change eating shit, could it be..."

Jiang Shu looked around at the dense crowd of diners in the noodle shop, with a vicious smile on his face.

"Ding, you got ten malicious points, physical strength +5, mental strength +2."

"Ding, you have gained fifteen malicious points, physical strength +7, mental strength +3."

"Ding, you have gained 10 malicious points, physical strength +5, mental strength +[-]."

"Ding, you got it..."

Jiang Shu saw that some diners had silently put down their chopsticks, and He Shan picked up the spears and short cannons beside him.

Hearing the ding ding ding in his ears, Jiang Shutou jumped out of the window and ran away without looking back.

Behind him, there were endless curses and shooting sounds.

In a panic, he made a detour into several alleys, and flung away the diehards who were chasing after him. Jiang Shu leaned against the wall, breathing calmly, and opened the system panel.

"Host: Jiang Shu
Stamina: 104
Mental Power: 42
Malicious value: 221
Goodwill: 15."

Jiang Shu twisted his arms, feeling a body that was much stronger and more powerful than before, and couldn't help but smack his lips.

He clearly felt that the muscles in his arms were now comparable to steel to some extent.

Suddenly, a new message popped up on the system panel in front of him.

"Reminder: Your good and evil values ​​are facing an imbalance. Excessively high malicious values ​​may bring you unknowable risks. Please make a careful choice."

At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang. Jiang Shu took out the phone and saw the call reminder on it, which was a series of confusing symbols.

The hacker's encrypted phone number... Jiang Shu raised his eyebrows and pressed the answer button.

"Hello, young man, you may have heard my name. My name is Witt Gartson."

Witt Gartson.

From the memory of the original owner, Jiang Shu knew that Witt was a well-known middleman in the Rose District.

Middlemen often take over illegal contracts - theft, assassination, kidnapping, trafficking, and anything illegal you can think of, for a fee, of course.

They are the bridge between clients and mercenaries.

Middlemen are not uncommon in the Emerald City, but Witt is the best among them.

He is a top broker with the widest network and the best mercenaries.

Jiang Shu was very curious why this boss found himself, a waiter who used to work in bars and nightclubs.

"Hello, my name is Jiang Shu."

"Oh, of course I know your name, otherwise I wouldn't have called you." On the phone, Witt's voice was low and magnetic, "I have a very lucrative task right now, I don't know if you are interested. "

"Not interested." Jiang Shu hung up.

As the most famous intermediary in the Rose District, Witt has a lot of powerful mercenaries in his hands, and he must have nothing to hold back when he suddenly finds him.

Is this the unknown consequence brought about by the high malicious value that the system said?

Jiang Shu frowned, what should I do now, how can I quickly increase my goodwill?

Is it to rob a robber?Or help the old lady cross the road...

Suddenly, a black commercial vehicle stopped at the entrance of the alley, blocking the exit of the alley tightly.

Let me go, did this just offend some big guy by scoring points?

Jiang Shu turned around and found that the other end of the alley was also blocked by a commercial vehicle of the same color.

The doors of the two commercial vehicles opened at the same time, and seven or eight men in black suits and armed with kinetic energy weapons poured out of the vehicle.

Looking at their exposed mechanical palms, Jiang Shu knew that they were a group of modified humans with prosthetic limbs.

After getting out of the car, the group of men in black didn't say a word, but raised their weapons and aimed at Jiang Shu in the middle of the alley.

Suddenly, a brown-haired fat man with short and thick limbs, long and narrow eyes, and a fat head and big ears stepped out of the commercial vehicle.

The fat man was wearing a red leather jacket, looked at the little bastard in front of him who had the guts to hang up his phone, and said with a smile: "So, are you interested in that mission now?"

As he said that, the fat man pointed to his own head, "Use this to think about it before answering me."

"Don't think about it at all! Mr. Witt, it's cool to be able to work under your command, just thinking about it!" Jiang Shu raised his eyebrows with a sincere look.

Witt touched his belly, "You are more interesting than I thought, now let's get in the car and talk."
