Start with Mechanical Hunter

The seawater of data begins to be recycled.

The scattered senses began to reorganize.

In the last scene, under the afterglow of the setting sun, the golden ocean current creates the last wave.

The sky and the earth are dark.

Gao Gong took off his headphones a little irritably.

The pleasure of entering the cyber network is incomparable, like cleaning every pore in the body.

But once we return to reality, our entire soul feels like it has been crammed into a small, bloated box.

That’s why there are people like the ‘Cyber ​​Tribe’.

They are immersed in a world composed of virtual experience data, often staying offline for months or even years.

Gao Gong took a deep breath and all of a sudden the various hormones in his body returned to normal.

Irritability also disappears as hormones decrease.

"Come in!"

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

A tall social figure with the three elements of "Korean, slap, and fat" walked in. His ferocious little eyes narrowed slightly, and he actually revealed a kind and honest smile.

"I'm the leader of the Welfare Helper, come here and say hello." The fat man smiled with a three-layered smile, bowed slightly, and handed over a thick red envelope.

Gao Gong took the red envelope and opened it. It turned out to be an IOU from Gao Yuanyuan's parents. It seemed to be quite a lot, probably around hundreds of thousands.

Gao Gong's expression softened.

"What do you call it?"

"Gao Jin."

"He was originally the God of Gamblers, and his name has been admired for a long time."

The senior engineer looked at the other person's tight black suit again, and the bulges that obviously did not conform to the muscle curves everywhere, raised his eyebrows and said: "The biochemical prosthetic body is a good product."

"It's funny, it's funny. It's just a set of black-body military-industrial reproductive components, how can I let you see it in your eyes, doctor?" The fat man in the suit grinned, revealing a row of neural dentures flashing with electronic numbers.

The senior engineer looked at the door and saw the leaky guy standing in the doorway timidly.

"Why doesn't he come in?"

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

The senior engineer looked at Leakboy, and sure enough he saw a lot of blood on the two metal prosthetic legs.

It's you who fight before relationships.

The senior engineer took out a cigarette. Without saying anything, the fat man snapped his fingers, and flames burst out from his fingers.

After taking a deep look at the other person, the senior engineer blew out a smoke ring and said, "What do you need from me? If you need prosthetic transformation, you must make an appointment first."

"Stop standing, sit down and talk."

The fat man was very obedient. He put his hands on his knees and curled up on a small stool with his huge body, giving him a funny feeling like a bear breaking a stick.

"To be honest, the main reason I came here this time is to invite Mr. Gao to come out and join us in our great cause."

"You want me to be your full-time prosthetic doctor?" The senior engineer smiled half-heartedly.

As a prosthetic doctor, a senior engineer can find a good job even in a big company, and nine out of ten emerging gangs will end miserably, so why should he wade into such troubled waters.

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

"How about 30% of the net profit?"

"Fifty black market vendors, game arcades, three prosthetic shops, four weapon shops, and the Red Dream Club on the next street are all the territory we have conquered."

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

"Mrs. Muto is our good friend, joint business, joint business." Fatty Gao said with an honest smile.

Gao Gong was moved in his heart and asked, "Have you ever recruited other black market doctors?"

"Those people are blind, how can they compare to you."

The senior engineer touched his chin and said, "I remember there was also a prosthetic doctor on Sanshan Street next door. He was an old guy."

"That old bastard in Fujiwara is so ignorant that he won't let us in. He will be chopped sooner or later!" The leaky guy interrupted angrily.

"Shut up!!!" Fatty Gao suddenly turned around and yelled, then turned around again and said with a simple smile: "Everyone makes money by being friendly, and making money by being friendly."

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

"Is this true?"

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

The tall fat man stood up, with a pair of small mung bean eyes suddenly exuding substantial cruelty. He stared at Gao Gong and grinned.

"Okay! It's a deal!"

The opponent's speed was indeed fast enough. Just after the afternoon, two gangsters came to the door and handed over a blood-stained package without saying a word. The senior engineer opened it and found an old man's head with a brain on the back. machine interface.

The senior engineer's fingers changed shape and inserted into the opponent's computer. The dull old eyes suddenly lit up, and the electronic shield flickered a few times before dimming again.

"If the hardware can't keep up, it's of no use no matter how awesome your firewall is."

[You get Fujiwara Street Technology - electronic machinery out of control]

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

According to the remarks, this kind of 'electronic mechanical loss of control' can increase the chance of a mechanical body losing control during multiple attacks.

If used properly, this can be a very dangerous weapon.

"The two drawings have been collected."

The job change of the prosthetic doctor is an important reason why Gao Gong came to the city that never sleeps.

Only the city that never sleeps has enough prosthetics doctors and enough exclusive transformation blueprints.

It's just that the prosthetic doctors are all cunning, maybe there are more than a dozen burrows. It would be very troublesome for me to find them one by one.

And once someone finds out that they are targeting the 'prosthetic doctor', they will be in big trouble.

So it is a good choice to let this fat Korean man cause trouble in front and fish in troubled waters behind.

"Tell your 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 Middle City, and Upper Middle City.

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-ordered district in the city that never sleeps. The people in charge there are not the parliament or the companies, but three super gangs.

Steel Claw Gang, Deep Web Weaver, Mighty Gang

These three major gangs have their own media, their own research and development bases, and their own armies. Their technological level is no less than that of some regional enterprises.

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

‘Level 20 Robot Knight, isn’t this an exclusive profession for the company? ’

"Name, citizen ID, and your target."

"G. Shenwang Street."

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

In the city that never sleeps, gangs are legal organizations, and to a certain extent, they are more disciplined than businesses.

"The lair of those slimy spiders? Where and why?"

A mechanical reformer said in disgust.

"Buy chips."

As we all know, in the city that never sleeps, the only way to buy high-level cracking chips is in the territory of the Deep Web Weavers. According to legend, the Deep Web Weavers have a mysterious connection with cyberspace.

"Let's go, remember, no weapons are allowed in Santo Domingo!"

"Of course, I'm a good citizen."

The senior engineer had a harmless smile on his face, and glanced at the armed drone behind the opponent, with a look of thought flashing in his eyes.

As a main profession on the transformation side, the biggest feature of the Robot Knight is that it can be combined with weapons developed by companies, and its firepower is very terrifying.

The lower plate of that drone obviously has an implanted structure.

Even the Sky Warriors have been pushed back? Gee, this level of technology is a bit scary.

As the second largest district after Asia, there are not many pedestrians on the streets in Santo Domingo, only some lazy old people sunbathing.

But there are a lot of cameras here. The senior engineer visited three streets and found 20 cameras, covering almost no blind spots.

Fortunately, the senior engineer did not intend to cause trouble. He arrived at a 'memory store' honestly. The store was very old and the door was yellow. When he pushed the door open, a bell rang, but it was empty inside. one person.

The walls and desktop are filled with various memory plug-ins.

In the mechanical age, memory is a tradable commodity and creating false memories is illegal.

The senior engineer picked up a plug-in with a line of small words written on it——

'An unforgettable night for newlyweds'

Is it so exciting right from the start?

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

‘The memories of the first half of the old gang members’ lives are partially distorted due to the long time span’

‘The memory of the escaped android’

‘The Crazy Memories of a Cyberpsychotic Madman’

‘Insights and Information of Cyber ​​Network ‘Night City’’

‘Ten mysterious assassination memories’

"No young people are interested in memory plug-ins anymore." The back door opened, and an old woman walked in shakily, with a very strange look in her eyes.

Gao Gong's eyes shrank, and inside the clothes, the colonial body quickly covered his body.

He had been in the Nightless City for several days, and this was the first time he felt such a strong sense of threat.

This old woman is dangerous!

"I was just strolling around." Gao Gong said calmly.

"Well, that's right. Cyber ​​networks are so interesting. Who would be interested in such an old-fashioned thing? Take off your body and return to yourself. That's what those cyberpunks say."

"Roughly the same."

"Young man, you just surfed the Internet this morning, and it was on Diaojing Street in the outer city. You wouldn't be able to get here even if you just wandered around."

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

"I understand," the senior engineer stared at the other person and suddenly smiled: "But I looked at the flyer outside and it seems that you can bet on the memory blind box."

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 carrying a large cardboard box, and the old woman disappeared from sight.

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

"I only connected to the Internet once, and someone followed the IP address and took me home. This place is really dangerous."
