Please Call Me Cyber Ghost King

"Devil?! You're finally back?!"

After receiving the message from Ke Ling, Sasha replied to Ke Ling immediately, looking a little excited between the lines.

"Yes, I just returned to Night City."

Ke Ling sent a message that he was making coffee in his rental house. This was coffee he brought from the world of "Tokyo Ghoul".

Of course there is coffee in the world of "Cyberpunk 2077", and there are even cafes in the streets and alleys of Night City.

But like most foods, coffee is also made synthetically and has questionable ingredients. It may be difficult for Ke Ling to drink it, so he still has to drink this kind of serious coffee brought from the serious world.

"Do you have time? Is it convenient now?"

After hearing Ke Ling's answer, Sasha immediately sent a message. She wanted to see Ke Ling. She had been worried about Ke Ling these days.

"Of course, do you want to come over and play?"

Ke Ling sent the message to Sasha, then sent a message to Jack and V, and also reported to Lucy that she was safe.

Lucy had sent him a message before, but there was only one unfinished sentence: "It turns out you are too."

If Ke Ling doesn't understand the plot, if he hasn't watched "Cyberpunk: Edgewalker", then he will definitely be confused by this sentence.

But Ke Ling, who knew something about Lucy's life experience, could obviously understand the meaning of her words and the emotion expressed by the phrase "So you are too".

"It seems that my identity as an experimental subject of a biotechnology company has been completely confirmed and has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

Ke Ling smiled. No matter how much the biotechnology company denied it, no one would believe it. Obviously, even Lucy had already confirmed this.

Lucy is a special "old network mining girl" trained by Arasaka since she was a child, and he, Ke Ling, is an experimental subject cultivated by a biotechnology company. This is the meaning of "it turns out you are too".

Obviously, Ke Ling's experience made Lucy deeply empathize with her, and in comparison, she found that Ke Ling's experience seemed to be even worse than hers.

Bartmos caused a major network collapse and released and awakened AI. AI fought with humans online and even suppressed human hackers for a time.

It wasn't until the establishment of the "Black Wall" that mankind finally had a new, more stable network domain. However, that war also left a large amount of technology in the "old network".

It is obviously impossible to recruit powerful hackers from outside to look for lost technologies on the "old network". Each of the powerful hackers is very unruly.

Therefore, major companies began to look for talented children, and they brainwashed and trained "mining girls" from an early age. Lucy was a "mining girl" who grew up in the Arasaka facility.

After they are trained, they will be sent to the "Old Network" to dig for treasures. Everyone knows how dangerous the "Old Network" is. If they are not careful, they will be simply "brain-burned" by the AI.

A "mining team" may even be completely wiped out sometimes. The powerful AI outside the "black wall" is no joke.

"Me too? I'm going back to Night City."

This is the message Ke Ling sent to Lucy. He did not rely on this identity to build relationships.

The reason is simple, because Ke Ling's life background is fake, but Lucy's life background is real.

Ke Ling doesn't have the habit of exchanging lies for sincerity. Lucy's misunderstanding was her own business. Ke Ling would not admit it anyway.

"Okay, I'll be there right away!"

Sasha immediately replied that she knew where Ke Ling lived. In fact, she and Ke Ling lived not too far away. The place where Sasha lived was more upscale. She still had some money, so she would not wrong herself in terms of living. .

"Bang bang bang!"

Just as Ke Ling finished reading Sasha's message, there was a knock on the door, and there was a familiar smell coming from the person at the door.

Ke Ling opened the door, and V's red hair came directly into view. Before Ke Ling could say anything, V at the door spoke first.

"Who are you?"

With these words, V pointed his pistol at Ke Ling's forehead, and vigilance and ferocity appeared on that heroic face.

"It's me, Ke Ling."

Ke Ling performed a French military salute and explained with a smile on his face.

"Ke Ling? You."

V still looked suspicious. There was indeed a sense of familiarity about the guy in front of him. His facial features were somewhat similar to Ke Ling's, but the difference was too big. They were not the same type at all. The sunny and handsome guy in front of him Handsome guy, how does he look like the rugged and incredibly strong muscular maniac before?

"As you can see, in order to avoid being hunted, I became what I am now. Isn't it different from before?"

Ke Ling explained with a smile, and then showed off his ability to "change size anywhere."

This ability is indeed very useful, not only for daily camouflage, but also for suddenly shrinking in size during battle. Ke Ling had used this trick before when dealing with half-heights.

Escaping and hiding skills when being bound, whether it is melee slashing or long-range shooting, or the sudden reduction in body size, can play a big role.

"this"

Looking at everything that happened in front of him, V's eyes widened, feeling a little ridiculous, but when these things happened to Ke Ling, it seemed so natural.

"Come in quickly."

Ke Ling greeted V to come in. He brought a cup of coffee and handed it to V.

"Huh? It's not that you can't drink."

V's face once again showed suspicion, and she raised the gun in her hand again. There was a flaw! Ke Ling can't drink these messy things!

Street V, this little girl, obviously has a very rich imagination. She has heard all kinds of urban legends at first sight, and she began to suspect that Ke Ling in front of her was pretending.

If you think about it carefully, since this guy can change the shape of his body, why can't he change from someone else's appearance to Ke Ling's appearance? !

The more V thought about it, the more likely it was, and the vigilance in his eyes became deeper and deeper. Ke Ling was speechless for a while.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm really Ke Ling."

Ke Ling didn't expect that after he showed his ability to change forms, his identity would be suspected by his own people.

"how to prove?"

V sat down on the sofa and put the coffee on the table without drinking it.

This street girl didn't seem to be that aggressive. Since she was suspicious of Ke Ling, she naturally wouldn't drink the strange drink Ke Ling handed her when he came up.

"Does peeing on your tombstone count as proof?"

Ke Ling shook his head with a smile and said, he was holding a cup of coffee, and he had to say such harsh things.

"Fuck! Ke Ling, you kid, you're so good!"

As soon as Ke Ling said this, V immediately picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, and then gave Ke Ling a thumbs up.

"The immortal demon Devo Collins? What a great name!"

V shook his red hair and kept sighing. It was obvious that he had completely accepted Ke Ling's identity.

After all, although this matter is serious, it can be regarded as a special code between her and Ke Ling.

"If you shoot the first bird, the person with the most famous name will generally not survive long."

Ke Ling said modestly. In Night City, this sentence is absolutely fine. After all, there are no living legends in Night City.

"You really shouldn't come back. There are countless bounty hunters in Night City waiting for you to show up."

V drank up the coffee in the cup in one gulp, then smashed it in his mouth, as if he couldn't taste anything.

Ke Ling's bounty is very high. Not only the company dogs, but also all kinds of monsters and monsters are looking for the "immortal demon" Devo Collins.

"Can they still recognize me like this?"

Ke Ling turned around in a human posture. Although Lao Wei had already given a professional answer, he still wanted to hear what Street V, an old street girl, thought of him.

"Even I couldn't recognize them the first time, let alone those guys."

V spoke decisively. This was her true words, and her reaction just now confirmed her statement.

"That's good."

Ke Ling nodded and took a sip of coffee.

A mellow fragrance spreads in the mouth, the unique bitterness and rich aroma are perfectly combined, and it goes straight to Ke Ling's Tianling Gai.

In fact, Ke Ling didn't like drinking coffee before, but this long-lost feeling of the taste of human food made him want to stop.

Finally, he can finally eat some normal food. This is the first step. His diet is gradually expanding, and one day he will become a normal person.

"By the way, Ke Ling, I'll transfer the money to you first. It's the money I got from selling meat during your absence."

As V spoke, he transferred a sum of money to Ke Ling. Ke Ling took a look and saw that it was 41,000 more.

During his absence, Jack and V sold $60,000 of meat, of which $41,000 was his portion.

"You are very brave and dare to commit crimes against the wind."

Ke Ling complained that the biotechnology company was hunting him down, and V and Jack were really cowards for daring to engage in real meat trading at this time.

After all, selling real meat in Night City is basically a scam for the biotechnology company. During this period of strict inspection, people from the biotechnology company may easily kill you.

"Huh, just them? Are they worthy?!"

V lay down on the sofa and assumed a boss posture, with a very "evil and mad" expression on his face.

"My little brother admires me."

Ke Ling held up his hands and cooperated with V's performance.

"Actually, we were caught once. If it hadn't been for your breathing chip, we might not have been able to escape."

V laughed twice, and then replied seriously, if that incident hadn't happened, they might have been able to sell more.

"How's it going? Does the breathing chip work?"

Only then did Ke Ling understand why V said that the breathing chip saved her life. It turned out that she really met someone from a biotechnology company.

If it were just an ordinary company dog, with the abilities of V and Jack Wills, they would definitely be able to escape easily.

But what they met that time was the "Devil Squad" specifically targeting Ke Ling.

In order to capture the "Immortal Demon" Devo Collins, the personnel and firepower configuration of this "Devil Squad" are extremely high, and the main focus is a method of fire suppression.

As a result, Ke Ling didn't experience it, but V and Jack Wills felt it for him first.

"It's very useful. If you sell these chips, you can make money much faster than selling meat."

V was naturally full of praise for the "breathing method chip". Although they did not understand the principle at all, this did not prevent them from enjoying the enhancement brought by the breathing method.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

Ke Ling and V were talking when someone knocked on the door outside. Ke Ling first restored his "ghost form" and then opened the door. Standing outside the door was Jack Wells with a smile on his face.

"Hey brother, welcome home, I'm so happy to see you back safe and sound!"

Jack Wills came up and gave Ke Ling a big hug.

"Don't be so naughty, Jack."

Ke Ling replied with a smile, and then separated from Jack Wells. He planned to wait for everyone to arrive before changing back to human form, so as to avoid having to explain one by one.

"It seems like you're doing pretty well outside."

Behind Jack Wills, Lucy came out, bringing a touch of brightness. After receiving the news, she also rushed over and happened to meet Jack Wills downstairs.

"This is an immortal demon from Night City. Where can he get away with it?"

Before Ke Ling could say anything, V interjected with a smile, which made Ke Ling give her a roll of the eyes.

"Come in and sit down."

Ke Ling let Lucy and Jack into the room, and the four of them sat down in the room.

"What were you talking about just now?"

As soon as Jack Wells came over, he naturally joined in the conversation between Ke Ling and V.

"We are talking about the breathing chip, and I propose to open a company to sell it."

V answered, which immediately resonated with Jack Wills.

"Yes, it is indeed very effective. I have practiced boxing and fitness for so many years, but I didn't know that breathing can have such a terrifying effect. If I really want to sell it, I'm sure it will sell out!"

Jack Wills agreed, with a look of emotion and disbelief on his face. For him, who has always been scientific about fitness, things like breathing methods are obviously a bit contrary to common sense.

But how to say it? After all, it was Ke Ling who brought it out, so it's normal for it to be outrageous.

Ke Ling's existence itself was outrageous enough, but in comparison, this breathing method was nothing.

Jack Wills, V, and Lao Wei have all gradually become accustomed to Ke Ling's outrageous behavior.

Lucy was silent on the sidelines. She obviously still lacked understanding of Ke Ling, and she had never used a breathing chip.

"Let's use it for ourselves first. The sale needs to be discussed in the long term. We don't have enough capital to support it now."

Regarding V's proposal and the idea of ​​selling breathing chips, Ke Ling felt that he could take it easy for now.

Just like that guy Pila said, they can't keep this technology. The company can eat people without spitting out their bones. They will not ignore any technology that can create profits.

It's a fool's errand to expect to get rich while the company dogs aren't looking. There are hundreds of thousands of people in large companies, and there are countless employees waiting to climb up the ladder.

And new technologies like this that can create profits are simply the best career prospects for corporate dogs, and a lot of people are watching.

This is not the previous period of barbaric growth, nor is it a period of corporate war. The current situation is tending to be stable.

And stability is the most unfriendly to newcomers who want to disrupt the situation, especially after the emergence of a newcomer like Kang Tao, who took 20 to 30 years to become a giant.

The pressure that Kang Tao brought to Arasaka is obvious to all, and no one wants to have such a newcomer in their industry.

Now, once a strong newcomer emerges in the industry, colleagues who have not dealt with them in the past will definitely join forces to suppress the newcomer.

There is only so much market share. If you have more, I will have less. Now there is a newcomer who reduces everyone’s share. If you don’t suppress them, who will you suppress?

Ke Ling didn't want to work for a long time and end up making wedding clothes for others, and after all, he had to consider the personal safety of V and Jack.

It's okay to do some business secretly on the black market. The black market has black market rules, but once it's exposed, it's not realistic to hide your name.

Ke Ling himself could run away at will, but Jack and V couldn't. If they went out to open a company rashly, they might lose everyone's lives.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

There was a knock on the door again, and Ke Ling went to open it. Naturally, the person standing at the door was the cat-headed lady. The girl looked a little excited.

"Ke Ling! It's great that you're okay!"

Sasha hugged Ke Ling, and her hanging heart finally fell back to where it should be, and the pressure she was carrying was gone.

Sasha has always disliked causing trouble to others, but unknowingly, she felt that she had caused a lot of trouble to Ke Ling, which made her feel very uneasy.

Happy New Year!

I have only two blessings, health! Get rich!
