Cyberpunk: 2075

On the first day after Christmas, even though it had been raining since noon, there were still many customers in the Wild Wolf Bar.

Or, because the store was closed for a day yesterday, today's business was better than usual.

Amid the hustle and bustle, Carl stood at the door of the Wild Wolf Bar and shook his head, shaking off some of the water drops that kept dripping from his hair into his collar and stinging his skin. He then patted the raindrops on his clothes and walked into the bar.

Carl's entry attracted the attention of some people in the bar, but most people turned their heads away after seeing the familiar figure of Carl.

It was just KK, it's not like he hadn't seen it before, so there was no need to make a fuss.

In the crowd, several people stood up from their seats immediately when they saw Carl, and Mrs. Wells, who was standing behind the bar, saw Carl's wet appearance, and she also quickened her pace, pulled a dry towel next to her, and hurried over.

"Why didn't you ask Oliver and the others to pick you up? You're in such a mess."

Mrs. Wells approached Carl, raised her hand and wiped Carl's hair and neck with a towel, and said with a little reproach: "Will it feel good if you get wet?"

Letting Mrs. Wells wipe him dry, Carl smiled embarrassedly: "When I came, someone sent me here. I asked him to stop near the Wild Wolf Bar. I walked less than 50 meters, but I didn't expect it to rain so heavily."

"It will rain this afternoon. I told you yesterday."

Mrs. Wells was a little helpless. She After wiping the water off Carl's clothes, she took a step back, looked at Carl's current appearance, and nodded: "This way you look much fresher."

After Mrs. Wells wiped the wet Carl, Oliver and the others stood up from their seats in the distance and called out: "Carl, you're just in time. We were just calculating the time you would arrive here from Arasaka Tower. The fries are already fried and crispy. Come and eat them quickly."

"Oh."

When Carl heard about the fries, he nodded to Mrs. Wells and hurried over.

"I've been busy until now, and I haven't eaten yet."

After Carl sat down in their usual seat, he glanced around and found that V was not there. Only Jack, Oliver, and T-BUG were sitting there.

"Where's V?"

"He went back to the tribe. It seems that the tribe is going to hold a meeting to discuss things. He said goodbye to us in a hurry not long after you went to Arasaka Tower this morning. The tribe is a bit far from Night City, and he has to hurry back."

"Is that so...::

After all, V is still a member of the Wanderer Tribe. If there is something wrong with the tribe, he must go back. Carl understands this kind of thing, but it's a bit regretful.

"I was thinking of asking him to bring something back, but now according to his speed, he should have been speeding across the Badlands. I don't know if the signal can contact him and ask him to come and get it next time when he is free."

"Things, what things?"

Oliver was drinking whiskey. Listening to Carl talking about things, he put down his glass: "If it's something important, then I'll drive away now, maybe I can catch up."

"It's not a big thing, you can give it to V next time. "

Carl said, "Didn't I go to Arasaka Tower to do something this time? I also said that I would bring back some "specialties". I got some weapons and prostheses and sent them to Lao Wei. I wanted Lao Wei to help me see if there were any backdoor programs left in the prostheses. I was planning to get some guns and prostheses that V can adapt to for him to take back."

"Weapons, prostheses, some?"

Hearing these words, T-BUG cast his eyes over: "Did you go to Arasaka Tower to purchase goods?"

"Not so exaggerated, not a lot, just the amount for our team. We only took some general prostheses that are not very special. I thought that after the prostheses have adapted to the period, we can pick a few to install."

"Arasaka's prostheses and weapons?"

Jack asked, and Carl shook his head: "Each company has some, at least the level used by Arasaka elites, there are no special models, they can be bought outside, but they cost a lot of money. ”

Who knows if the special model is some kind of test prototype, it’s not safe. Carl picked all the good stuff that has been proven by his peers in the mercenary industry.

“From various companies, used by Arasaka elites...

Oliver listened and remembered the Shingen smart submachine gun that Carl gave him later during his escort mission.

“Could it be that all of them are Shingen’s level?”

Smart submachine guns are very valuable, and it would be great to get them for free.

“That’s the minimum.”

Carl raised his hand and shook it: “I even got an Ice Storm.”

“Ice Storm?!”

Hearing this familiar word, Oliver, as a sniper, brightened his eyes: “Could it be that bolt-action sniper rifle produced by the Soviet Union, which is rumored to have made 300 of them?”

“Yes, it’s the Ice Storm that many people think is the most powerful sniper rifle on the market. This gun is a heavy kinetic weapon. If you want to use it, you have to find a place to set it up properly.”

Carl didn't think that since Oliver now has the technical sniper rifle Nekomata, he doesn't need a kinetic sniper rifle. After all, there are not too many of these things, and compared to Nekomata, which requires energy storage to exert its full power, the Ice Storm is heavier, but it The launch is faster and obviously can provide better support at certain times.

"I also picked out a few weapons for you two, Jack and T-BUG, that you might like."

"Do I have one too?"

It's not surprising that Jack has it. After all, he is fighting on the front line. What's strange about T-BUG is why he also has it.

"Some accidents might happen. Don't worry. I chose the 'Kangtao A-22-B-Super' smart pistol that can connect to the automatic locking chip and does not need to be equipped with a smart connection prosthesis. Very suitable for T-

BUG is for you. If you encounter an accident, you can insert the chip on the spot and shoot directly. "

"Kang Tao's goods?"

"That's right, Kangtao is the number one smart weapon on the market now. In addition to the pistol I gave you, I also picked out a Kangtao product for myself."

Karl chewed the fries and said after swallowing: "Just go to Lao Wei's place and have a look together later. Anyway, they are all very useful. There are also prosthetics. You can also look at those good ones and prepare to wait for installation. one time."

Another ice storm, another Kang Tao stuff, and another prosthetic body...

After listening to Karl's words, Jack and the other three were sure of one thing.

"This guy Carl just went to stock up.'
