Start in Night City

When talking about the latter part, David's voice gradually became quieter.

Apparently he also thought it was unlikely.

However, even if the possibility is unlikely, you should still give it a try.

What if it might succeed?

Su Xiao looked into David's eyes, and the latter lowered his head after looking at each other.

At the same time, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

David suddenly felt regretful and felt that he had been impulsive.

Su Xiao didn't say anything to David anymore, but said something on the communication channel, which David couldn't hear.

After the explanation, Su Xiao picked up her coffee cup again and drank the slightly cold coffee in the cup: "Drink it quickly, or it will be completely cold if you don't drink it."

David picked up the coffee cup and drank the coffee inside.

But the cup was not put down, but held in both hands.

For the next few minutes no one spoke.

David didn't know what Su Xiao was thinking, or who he was talking to on the phone just now, or what he said.

Just when he was about to speak, V came over with the two hundred thousand euros that David wanted.

But what V brought over was not cash, but two credit chips.

Su Xiao was very considerate for David.

If it is an electronic bank account, it will definitely not work, because so much money is transferred into the electronic bank account of the poor, and if someone reports it, something may happen.

Although the company will not keep an eye on every poor person's electronic bank account, David is going to Arasaka Academy to pay money. There is no guarantee that people in the academy will not make a report if they find out.

This idea is a bit of a conspiracy theory, but after all, it is not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case.

Better to be careful.

He also considered cash, but two hundred thousand in cash was not a small amount. If it were given to such a child, it would be too conspicuous and easy for others to target.

It is a proverb of Siris that Su Xiao will not understand.

Therefore, credit chips are the best choice.

A credit chip is about the same size as a credit card, is easy to carry, doesn’t take up space, and is easy to conceal.

Tuck it inside the clothes, even if you put two of them at the same time, others won't be able to see it at all.

Secondly, Su Xiao specifically asked V to divide the money between the two credit chips.

One is eighty-eight thousand, and the other is one hundred and twelve thousand.

This credit chip of 88,000 is for Arasaka Academy.

Because Arasaka Academy wants David to compensate the online education system for an amount of 88,000.

The other one, 112,000, is equivalent to David's future living expenses, tuition, etc.

He asked V to split it into two for David, so that David only had to hand over the 88,000 credit chip and keep the rest.

In this way, others will not find out. I still have so much money on my body that others cannot see, and naturally there will be no ill intentions.

What would it feel like if a person suddenly won five million?

Then there is a high probability that David will be like this now.

His eyes were dull, and he stared blankly at what V handed him.

Two credit chips, the whole person seemed to be stunned and motionless, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Chapter 268 Do you think I still have a chance (3K)

It took a while for David to react.

Insert the credit chip into his nerve slot and confirm that the two credit chips contain a total of 200,000 euros.

"so much?"

David was dumbfounded again.

He originally thought that if this prosthetic body could be sold for 50,000 yuan, it would be pretty good.

After all, the quack doctor who caused me to pay so much money only gave me a price of several thousand yuan.

Fifty thousand euros is already ten times the price given by the quack doctor.

But what he didn't expect was that Lidya Su was willing to give him two hundred thousand.

The price was four times higher than he expected!

After realizing this, David made a move that Su Xiao did not expect.

He only accepted the credit chip with 88,000 euros stored on it, and left the other credit chip with 112,000 euros on the table.

"Sir, what you gave is too much, I can't take it."

David didn't know why Su Xiao was so kind to their mother and son.

He also helped them advance the medical expenses, and was willing to pay such a high price to accept the prosthetic body of unknown origin that he brought.

According to the quack doctor, since the origin of this thing is unknown, shouldn't no one dare to buy it, or they will take the opportunity to lower the price?

how come……

"Just take it if I tell you to."

Finally, under Su Xiao's persuasion, David was still uneasy and put away both credit chips.

"Then if there's nothing else, I'll leave first, sir."

"Um...right, wait a minute, David."

"Is there anything else, sir?"

"I almost forgot to ask, how did you get here?"

"I walked here."

"walk?"

It takes an hour or two to drive from Santo Domingo to Stone Ridge Mountain, and if you walk, it will take at least a day.

And David looked dusty, which was obviously not a lie.

Lidya Su thought for a while.

"V, will you send him to Arasaka Academy?"

Before V could speak, David spoke first.

"No, sir, I can walk back by myself."

Su Xiao shook her head and said: "Even if you can walk back, what if you encounter the Luan Dao Club on your way back?"

No one who has stayed in Night City thinks that Night City is a city with good security.

But in fact, the security environment outside the city is even worse than in the city.

Because there is a gang of swordsmen outside the city.

When they see lone pedestrians and vehicles, they will take a ride even if there is no profit to be made, just for fun.

As for whether the target they hit will be injured or what the consequences will be, they don't care.

Of course, if they think there's something to be gained by robbing you, they won't mind appearing as a bandit.

It is because the Luandao Club behaves like bandits, so the people in the city can be said to hate the Luandao Club deeply.

Even the homeless people who they couldn't distinguish were also hated by them.

That’s why Su Xiao arranged for V to send David back.

The body of his armored SUV has the same composite armor as a main battle tank, so it is not afraid of bullets at all.

There is also a 40mm grenade launcher on the roof, which can be operated in the car without having to stand outside.

If you really encounter the Ran Dao Kai, you can just shoot the Ran Dao Kai back to his hometown.

When V and David walked to the door, Lidya Su added another sentence.

"Besides, if you can't go back to the academy, you can come to me and I can give you a job to support your family."

Lidya Su’s words made David feel very moved.

If he could meet Lidya Su a few days earlier, he would agree without hesitation.

What Arasaka Academy? Go to hell and learn!

However, David now could not agree.

Because my mother, who hopes she can go to school well, is still lying in the hospital.

David actually felt that he did not belong to Arasaka Academy and was not suitable to join Arasaka Company in the future.

Even if a talented guy like him can get into Arasaka Company with excellent results, so what?

He has no background and is destined to be the backdrop for others.

He didn't want to live a life where he looked at other people's faces, especially those playboys in Arasaka. David didn't think he was any worse than them.

If everyone can be on the same starting line, David thinks he can easily defeat them.

But there is no if in reality.

Moreover, David didn't want to make his mother sad, so he would rather choose to be wronged himself.

…

After David and V left, Su Xiao took the "Sian Westan" that David had brought over, walked out of the prefabricated house, and found Lucy at the edge of the construction site.

"What's this?"

From afar, Lucy saw something in Lidya Su's hand and asked curiously.

Lidya Su handed the bag to Lucy: "See for yourself."

Lucy opened the bag and took out the spine-shaped prosthetic body inside, which she recognized immediately.

"Sian Westan? Where did it come from?"

"A boy sent me here. He was picked up while on the viaduct.

The boy we rescued. "

When Lucy heard this, she tilted her head and held the "Sian Westan" again for a while to look at it.

"There's no logo on it, so you can't tell which company made it."

Su Xiao said lightly: "It was deliberately erased. It is an experimental product."

No matter what it is, as long as it is developed, it needs to be continuously tested until it is stable before mass production.

This is true for drugs, this is true for weapons, and this is true for prosthetic bodies.

As a military-grade combat prosthetic body, Si'an Westan is even more so.

And another difference between prosthetic bodies and guns is that no matter what kind of prosthetic body it is, it must be implanted into one's own body.

No matter how little the manufacturer of the prosthesis claims to have side effects, or how little impact and burden it has on the human body.

But we have to admit that as long as you have a prosthetic implanted, you will always have some symptoms, which will cause problems for your health.

The difference is just big or small, serious or mild.

Therefore, in order to obtain a qualified prosthetic body, repeated testing is naturally required.

As for "Sianwistan", as a military-grade combat prosthetic body, experimental data must be collected from combatants to be more reasonable.

Therefore, the previous host of this "Sianwistan" was a veteran who had participated in the last war. He was a carefully selected guinea pig to test the prosthetic body and collect experimental data.

The reason why Su Xiao said this was not entirely based on speculation.

He has proof.

When he got the prosthetic body earlier, he scanned it and discovered that there was a back door left on the "Sian Westan".

It is through this backdoor that the prosthetic company can continuously collect experimental data.
