Chapter 600: One person cannot defeat the entire world
After adding Xia Yu's contact information, Rogge drank another glass of wine and left.
She is very busy every day, and the saying that time is money is fully reflected in her. Being able to personally humble herself and have a drink with Xia Yu is already a manifestation of her giving face to him.
After Rogge left, Jack gave Xia Yu a thumbs up and said excitedly, "Awesome, bro, that's Rogge! We weren't even born when she debuted!"
"She actually came to add your contact information in person, that's so fucking awesome!"
"Keep a low profile."
Xia Yu pressed his hand. Although it was a bit surprising that Rogge came personally to add his contact information, he didn't actually feel too excited. After all, he didn't regard Night City Legend as his future goal.
But to be honest, he still doesn't have a definite goal until now.
Become a corporate boss? He doesn't want to work. Become a Night City legend? He doesn't want to die young.
As for starting his own company, he didn't have the background. The affairs of government and business have always been interrelated, and there are even many companies that directly and secretly control the country.
In this world, it is no exaggeration to say that companies determine the real world and the lives of ordinary people.
As for the country? It is estimated that the country is not as powerful as the company. Fighting against the company is almost the same as fighting against the whole world.
It is impossible to defeat the whole world by one person alone.
Moreover, the company can also directly overturn the table. If it feels threatened, the company can drop a bunch of nuclear bombs without hesitation. Nuclear bombs are no longer something that only countries can use. Corporate wars can be directly equivalent to world wars.
Besides, this is still a future world, and it is still unknown whether the company has more exaggerated and deadly weapons in its hands.
There are no war laws in this world. People do whatever is most efficient, using poison gas or viruses to the extreme.
In addition, not to mention the Earth, the company even has colonies in outer space. As for the specific extent of the colonies, Xia Yu is not sure.
Both the game and the animation focus only on the small place of Night City, and the rest of the world is only mentioned in the background.
It is said that the game background, game world view and main game mode of Cyberpunk 2077 are all derived from the board game Cyberpunk 2020.
Unfortunately, he had never heard of this board game and didn't know much about its settings.
"Hey, hermanos (brother), what are you thinking about? You look so absorbed in it."
Seeing Xia Yu suddenly keep silent, Jack patted Xia Yu on the shoulder and asked him.
Xia Yu came back to his senses and glanced at Jack, then said casually, "I'm thinking about how to defeat the whole fucking world by myself."
"Wow, that's an incredible goal."
Jack let out an exaggerated wow, then raised the glass in his hand and shook it at Xia Yu: "Let's put the matter of overthrowing the world on hold, we're still drinking."
"Tsk, I already told you I don't drink, I'd better get you a drink."
"Bartender, bring the Coke!"
Claire heard this and took out a bottle of Coke in silence: "Although carbonated drinks are on the menu, who would come to the bar to drink drinks? You are such a weirdo."
After the Coke was filled, Xia Yu clinked glasses with Jack again. As Jack was in high spirits, he drank one glass after another and soon became dizzy. Then he fell asleep on the bar.
Seeing this scene, Xia Yu put down the cup in his hand and prepared to go home.
The original purpose of coming to Heywood to find Jack was to obtain information about V. Now that he had learned that V was a corporate dog, and he also had the contact information of the middleman priest and Rogge, he had exceeded his mission.
There is nothing to do now, so I might as well go back and have a rest.
Moreover, his card extraction points are about to accumulate enough for ten consecutive draws, so he can do ten consecutive draws soon. He hurried back to burn incense and bathe, hoping for God's blessing.
His system doesn't have a guaranteed minimum of 80 draws or a reward of 200 draws. The ten-draw streak is just his personal habit.
"Let's go. I'll pay for the wine. Let him sleep here."
After transferring the money to Claire, Xia Yu waved his hand and left for the next life.
He didn’t go to the nearby Lizzie Bar in the Kabuki district, a famous backstreet nightclub known for its super-dream experience.
He was about to make his tenth consecutive draw, so he had to treat it with sincerity. If he indulged himself, he might even let his luck go, which was absolutely unacceptable.
Although it is said that the supernatural cannot save the innocent and money cannot change fate, but... it doesn't cost any money anyway, so just believe it.
Without taking a car and relying only on foot, Xia Yu's speed was actually much faster. Moreover, his proficiency in Ghost Walker has now reached over 80%, and the hang glider has also been unlocked.
This is not an approximate low-altitude flight, but a real low-altitude flight. Use the grappling hook to climb up the skyscraper, and then fly directly into the distance via the hang glider.
The time he spent returning was much shorter than the time he spent going to Haywood, which also meant that his strength was getting stronger and stronger. It was estimated that it would not be long before he would be able to reach 100% proficiency.
After returning home, Xia Yu took a good bath and then went to bed comfortably.
After waking up from a deep sleep, Xia Yu took another shower, changed into clean clothes, and solemnly set up three projection bamboo incense sticks for his system.
The world no longer has the belief in worshipping gods, so naturally you can’t buy bamboo incense sticks. You might as well just use projection to make do.
Actually worship the cyber Buddha, burn projection incense, beat the electronic wooden fish, and accumulate mechanical merits.
Xia Yu opened the system and saw that he was only two points away from making ten draws. He immediately sorted out all the cards he had, picked out four cards that were of no use, gritted his teeth and threw them into the recycle bin.
It will be ten consecutive draws soon. The old will not go away before the new comes.
After recycling four cards, the extraction points increased by two points, which now makes it possible to complete ten consecutive draws.
Looking at the words "draw the card" in front of him, Xia Yu put his hands together, took a deep breath and quickly recited: "Jehovah, Zeus, Odin, Vishnu, Shiva, Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Guanyin, Buddha, Haotian, God bless you, I hope that this time I can get a UR, SSR I don't mind, please!"
“Extract!”
【Draw Cards】
[Drawing...]
[The host obtains the following cards...]
Xia Yu took a deep breath and looked at the ten consecutive times. Although it was not the first time, he was still nervous.
[Card: Bart Simpson (Son of the Devil)]
[Card: Arthur Morgan (I don’t often mention him, but I miss him often)]
[Card: Thunder (Alloy Chin, Boy)]
[Card: Pete Griffin (a bastard with extremely low IQ, you don’t want to be friends with him)]
[Card: Gollum (Let's see who is the worst game of the year)]
[Card: Mai Shiranui (I believe you must have heard the story of Mai Shiranui and the three little boys)]
[Card: Jack Fanma (In order to win, I don’t mind even giving up tomorrow)]
[Card: Hoshino Hinata (Nyan~)]
[Card: Goto Ichiri (Haha, she believed it, she believed it all! Pochi is so funny)]
[Card: Magikarp (Magikarp used Water Splash, but nothing happened)]
Xia Yu: “…”
Damn, at first glance there is not a single UR or SSR. Although he knows that the draw has no direction at all, some of the cards in it are too outrageous.
Who can tell him why this beast Pete got in here? The character on the card is obviously the beast Pete from "Family Guy".
Even if you want to give him a character from Family Guy , at least give him a dumpling. At least dumplings have a high IQ.
Pete...he wouldn't even want this thing for free.
Compared to Pete, Bart's card is much more pleasing to the eye, but forget about Gollum, whether it is this character or anything else, it is a pure defense.
The rest of the cards are also full of complaints. Forget about Mai Shiranui, but what's the meaning of the introduction afterwards? Is it intentionally pornographic?
And the last one is the Magikarp. This thing... seems to be somewhat useful. After equipping it, at least you can swim freely in the water.
Xia Yu sighed deeply and threw the annoying Pete and Gollum into the recycling bin in exchange for a withdrawal point. He really couldn't think of the use of these two things and they were an eyesore just sitting there.
After throwing the two most eye-catching cards into the recycling bin, he started looking at them again from the beginning.
"Hmm? This card...hiss, it's a bit subtle."
Xia Yu looked at Lei Dian on the card, a cyborg who had been fully transformed, with handsome silver hair, an alloy chin and red pupils.
The identity of this character is already clear. He is the character appearing in "Metal Gear Solid" and its derivative works, Raiden!
This card is already the best card in this ten-draw draw, but Xia Yu always feels it is a bit subtle because he already has the Ghost Walker.
Raiden and Ghostwalker overlap, both are cyborgs, both use cold weapons like long swords as weapons, both can use the swords in their hands to hack into mechanical equipment, and both are biochemical ninjas.
The most outrageous thing is that both of them are called Jack!
It's a coincidence.
However, although most of the settings overlap, Raiden is much stronger than Ghostwalker. Ghostwalker cannot cut a fighter jet in two with one sword, nor can he throw a Metal Gear that is many times larger than himself over his shoulder.
The most important thing is that the Ghost Walker has a very thin health bar, and it has high attack and paper defense.
However, Raiden is different. In "Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance", Raiden and US Congressman Armstrong fought for a long time, but Raiden managed to hold on without losing his combat power.
In the end, he even got Sam's equipment "Murasame" and directly killed Uncle Armstrong. He was completely like a human Hulk, with thick skin, flesh and great strength.
"I didn't expect my luck to be so good, but it's a close combat, and it's a close combat with cold weapons."
After reading the card introduction, Xia Yu suddenly felt that he had really drawn an SSR this time. In the world of cyberpunk, lightning seemed to be invincible.
No matter whether it's Cyborg or Adam's Hammer, it's all a one-size-fits-all thing. No, it shouldn't be a one-size-fits-all thing. According to Raiden's swordsmanship, the enemy should be chopped into small pieces.
But that should be the complete form of Raiden. He had just drawn the card and his proficiency level was still zero.
And even if it is lightning, I'm afraid it can't withstand a nuclear bomb, and it still can't defeat the entire world on its own.
"Forget it, let's take it slow."
Xia Yu shook his head. Changing this terrible world is not something . It must be done step by step.
Since I have drawn Thunder and Lightning, I should at least improve my proficiency first.
After collecting the remaining cards that had not been thrown into the recycle bin, Xia Yu took out the Ghost Walker card and inserted the Raiden card into the card slot.
"Hiss... I feel like my body is filled with Powaer."
Feeling the power surging from his body, Xia Yu reached out and took out a silver-white straight-blade long sword. This was Raiden's exclusive weapon, the "High-Frequency Wave Sword", which was powerful enough to cut a giant unmanned weapon in half.
It is much stronger than the Ghost Walker's "Ghost Walker Crane Feather". Although the Ghost Walker Crane Feather is also a high-tech long sword, it is also sharp enough to cut anything in half.
After equipping the card, Xia Yu chose to cover his skin, and then he transformed into a fully prosthetic mechanical man.
"When can I draw the Tile Thrower? If I have the Tile Thrower card, I can defeat the whole fucking world by myself."
Xia Yu stood up while muttering to himself and felt the power of thunder and lightning. Even though his proficiency was just beginning, this power was enough to make him surpass most people.
"Ha! Iai Slash!"
"As expected, my proficiency is zero and I am quite unfamiliar with using it. I still need to rely on combat to improve my proficiency."
After showing off Raiden's sword skills a few times, Xia Yu put away the high-frequency wave knife, then took out Raiden's card and replaced it with Ghost Walker.
Compared to the thunder and lightning I just got, the Ghost Walker that I have used for a long time is more convenient to use.
Because Raiden is also a character in an action game, he also improves his proficiency through combat. And like Ghostrunner, Raiden has a heart that leans toward justice.
Ghostwalker chose to kill in order to help the rebels against the dictatorship, while Raiden decided to make full use of his desire to kill to deal with the enemy in order to prevent other children from experiencing the same past as himself.
The two have different views on killing. Ghost Walker doesn't have any feelings about killing, but Raiden has a desire for killing in his heart due to his childhood experiences.
"Let me think, who should I bother with to improve my proficiency in thunder and lightning..."
Just when Xia Yu was thinking about who should die, an email suddenly popped up in front of him and then disappeared.
"Tsk, I almost forgot, David sent me an email."
Looking at the deleted email, Xia Yu slapped his head. Because he was busy before, he did not choose to read the email sent by David.
After opening his mailbox, Xia Yu read each email one by one, from the first email to the most recent one.
The email started with thanks, then went on to wonder why he didn't reply, then talked about my recent situation, and finally my decision to drop out of school, as well as who I met recently, etc.
"I dropped out of school anyway."
Looking at the email sent by David, Xia Yu felt a little emotional. David finally embarked on the path of cyberpunk.
His mother did not die. With treatment in the hospital, her life was saved. However, due to fatigue and overwork, her mother needed to rest and did not wake up immediately.
Rest and recuperation requires money, and you have to pay one day's hospitalization fee for each day you stay.
At present, David can only temporarily use the money borrowed from Xia Yu to pay for the hospital bills, but the borrowed money has to be repaid eventually, so he chose to drop out of school and prepare to find a way to make money.
