Start with a Mechanical Hunter

   Chapter 205 Santo Domingo District

The seawater of    data starts to be recovered.

   The scattered senses begin to regroup.

  The last picture, under the rays of the setting sun, the golden ocean current makes the last spray.

  The world is dark.

  The senior engineer took off his earphones a little irritably.

   The pleasure of entering the cybernet is incomparable, it is like cleaning every pore in the body.

   But once back to reality, the whole soul is like stuffed into a small, bloated box.

   That's why there are people like the 'Cybers'.

   They are immersed in the world of virtual experience data, and often stay offline for months or even years.

  The senior engineer took a deep breath, and all the hormones in the body returned to normal at once.

  The irritable mood also disappeared with the reduction of hormones.

"Come in!"

   "Mr. G, the local gang is so rude!!"

  A long social person who has the three elements of 'Korean, slap, and fat' walked in, his fierce and cruel eyes narrowed slightly, and he actually showed a kind and honest smile.

   "I'm the leader of Welfare Help, come and ask for a post." The fat man squeezed out a three-folded smile, bowed slightly, and handed a thick red envelope.

  The senior engineer took the red envelope and opened it. It turned out to be an IOU from Gao Yuanyuan's parents.

   The senior worker's expression softened.

   "What's your name?"

"Gao Jin."

   "Originally the God of Gamblers, I have long admired the name."

   The senior engineer looked at the other party's tight black suit again, the bulging bulges that obviously did not conform to the muscle curve, raised his eyebrows and said, "Biochemical prosthesis, good stuff."

   "Laughing, laughing, just a group of black body military industrial reproductive components, how can you let the doctor see it," the fat man in the suit grinned, revealing a row of neural prostheses flashing with electronic numbers.

  The senior engineer looked at the door, and saw the leaky boy standing at the door timidly.

   "Why didn't he come in?"

   "The red paint on my body is too heavy, I'm afraid it will pollute Mr. Gao's site."

  The senior engineer looked at the leaky boy and saw a lot of blood on the two metal prosthetic legs.

   It was you who fought before feelings.

  The senior worker took out a cigarette, and the fat man snapped his fingers without saying a word, and flames burst out from his fingers.

   took a deep look at the other party, the senior engineer blew a smoke ring, and said, "I have something to do with me, if it is a prosthetic transformation, you must make an appointment first."

   "Stop standing, sit down and talk."

  The fat man is very obedient, with his hands on his knees, his huge body is curled up on a small stool, and he has a funny feeling of a bear breaking a stick.

   "To be honest, I came here this time mainly to invite Mr. Gao to come out and seek great cause with us."

   "You want me to be a full-time prosthetic doctor for you?" The senior engineer was half-smiling.

   As a prosthetic doctor, even if a senior engineer goes to a big company, he can find a good job, and nine out of ten emerging gangsters end up miserably.

   The fat man in the suit stretched out three carrot-like fingers.

   "How about 30% pure profit?"

   "Fifty black market hawkers, game arcades, three prosthetics shops, four weapon shops, and the Red Dream Club on the next street are all sites that we have conquered."

   "You guys are fast enough." The senior engineer was a little surprised. He didn't know about other places. The Red Dream Club was an old underground club with a deep background. It was not easy for the other party to collect protection fees there.

   "Mrs. Muto is a good friend of ours, and we will jointly operate and jointly operate." Fatty Gao smiled honestly.

   The senior worker moved in his heart and said, "Have you ever wooed other black market doctors?"

   "Those people have no eyes, how can they be better than you."

  The senior worker touched his chin and said, "I remember that there is also a prosthetic doctor on Sanshan Street next door. It's an old guy."

   "Fujiwara Lao Pujie is really ignorant, he didn't let us in, and sooner or later cut him!" The leaker interrupted angrily.

   "Shut up!!!" Fatty Gao suddenly turned his head and roared, and then he turned his head again and said with a simple and honest smile: "Everyone is happy to make money, and peace to make money."

   "Bring over that old guy's transformation technology, and I'll consider helping you."

   "Is this true?"

  The senior worker shrugged, "Why are you lying to me, he's not afraid of being hacked to death, I'm afraid."

   Fatty Gao stood up, a pair of mung bean small eyes suddenly exuded substantial cruelty, staring at the senior worker with a grin.

   "Okay! It's a word!"

The speed of the other party is really fast enough. It was just after the afternoon when two gangsters came to the door and handed over a blood-stained package without saying a word. The senior engineer opened it. machine interface.

   The senior worker's fingers changed shape and inserted into the other party's brain computer. Those dull old eyes suddenly lit up, the electronic shield flickered a few times, and then dimmed again.

   "The hardware can't keep up, what's the use of your firewall."

  [You get Fujiwara Street Technology - Electromechanical Out of Control]

  ‘Hey, it’s actually a rare negative state of the mechanical body. ’

  According to the remarks, this kind of 'electromechanical runaway' can increase the chance of the mechanical body losing control in multiple attacks.

   This can be quite a dangerous weapon if used well.

   "The collection of two drawings is complete."

  The transfer of the prosthetic doctor is an important reason for the senior workers to come to the city that never sleeps.

   Only the city that never sleeps has enough prosthetic doctors and enough exclusive transformation drawings.

   It's just that the prosthetic doctors have three sly rabbits and three caves. Maybe there are more than a dozen caves. If you want to find them one by one, I am afraid it will be very troublesome.

   And once someone finds out they're targeting a 'prosthetic doctor', that's a big problem.

   So it is also a good choice to let this Korean fat man do things in the front and fish in troubled waters in the back.

   "Tell you boss, I will go to the arcade to find you tomorrow."

  …

  The City That Never Sleeps has six districts, Outer City, Old City, Asia, Santo Domingo, Lower Midtown, and Upper Midtown.

   Among them, the first three areas are free areas, and the last three areas are order areas.

   And only the Santo Domingo district is the only gang order district in the city that never sleeps, where it is not the parliament, not the business, but three super gangsters.

  Steel Claw Gang, Deep Web Weaver, Mighty Gang

   These three gangs have their own media, their own research and development bases, and their own army, and their technological level is no less than that of some regional companies.

  The senior engineer took the floating rail car to the platform of the 'Statue of Santo Domingo'. As soon as he left the station, two mechanical transformers surrounded him, staring dangerously at the senior engineer.

  ‘Level 20 mecha knight, isn’t this a company’s exclusive occupation? ’

   "Name, citizen ID, and your goals."

   "G, Shenwang Street."

  The senior engineer stretched out his palm and let the other party scan his chip.

   In the city that never sleeps, gangsters are legal organizations, and to some extent, they are more disciplined than corporations.

   "Those slimy spider nests? Where are you going?"

   A Dao that mechanical transformers hate.

   "Buy chips."

   As we all know, in the city that never sleeps, if you want to buy a high-level crack chip, you can only buy it in the territory of the deep web weaver. According to legend, the deep web weaver has a mysterious connection with the cyberspace.

   "Come on, remember, no weapons are allowed in the Santo Domingo district!"

   "Of course, I'm a good citizen."

  The senior engineer had a harmless smile on his face, and glanced at the armed drone behind him, his eyes flashed with thought.

   As the main occupation of the transformation side, the biggest feature of the body knight is that it can be combined with the weapons developed by the company, and the firepower is very terrifying.

   The bottom plate of the drone obviously has an implanted structure.

   Even the sky warriors have come back, tsk tsk, this level of technology is a bit scary.

  Santo Domingo is the second largest area after Asia, but there are not many pedestrians on the street, only some lazy old people are basking in the sun.

   But there are a lot of cameras here. The senior engineer walked three streets and found twenty cameras, almost no coverage of dead spots.

Fortunately, the senior engineer did not intend to come here, and he honestly went to a 'memory store'. The storefront was very old, and the door was yellow. When he pushed in, a bell rang, but it was empty. one person.

  There are various memory plug-ins on the wall and desktop.

  In the age of machines, memory was a tradable commodity, and it was illegal to create false memories.

  The senior engineer picked up a plug-in and wrote a small line on it——

   'An unforgettable night for the newlyweds'

   Is it so exciting as soon as it comes up?

The    senior engineer shook his head, decided to take it back and criticized it, and then picked up another one.

  'The first half of the old gang members' memories, due to the long time span, part of the content is distorted'

  ‘Memories of the androids who escaped’

  'Cyber ​​Psychopath's Crazy Memory'

  'Information about Cybernet's 'Night City''

  'Ten Mysterious Assassination Memories'

   "There are no young people who are interested in memory plug-ins anymore," the back door opened, and an old woman walked in tremblingly, her eyes very strange.

  The senior worker narrowed his eyes, and inside the clothes, the colonists quickly covered the body.

   It has been several days since he came to the city that never sleeps, and this is the first time he feels such a strong sense of threat.

   This old woman is dangerous!

   "I'm just wandering around." The senior worker said calmly.

   "Well, yes, how interesting the cybernet is, who would be interested in such an old-fashioned thing, take off the body and return to the self, those cyberbullies said so."

"more or less."

   "Young man, you only surfed the Internet in the morning, or on the Hanging Street in the outer city. It's impossible to visit here even if you just stroll around."

   "If you want to find some special memories, such as evidence that a certain member of the law violated the law, I do have it here, but I can't give it to you."

   "I understand," the senior engineer stared at each other, and suddenly smiled: "But I can bet on the memory blind box when I look at the leaflets outside."

The    old woman was very interested, "Oh? You are interested, but some of those unclaimed memory plug-ins are very dangerous, are you sure you want them?"

"certainly."

   An hour later, the senior engineer entered the platform with a large cardboard box, and the old woman's sight disappeared.

   "Advanced AI, or some kind of humanoid virus?"

   "I was only connected to the Internet once, and I was caught by someone following my ip. This place is really dangerous."
