Chapter 603 Summoning Card
The Voodoo Gang was destroyed.
This piece of information swept across Night City like a gust of wind, but strangely, the gust of wind did not stir up too many waves.
Of course, this is only on the surface. Ordinary people at the bottom don’t care which gangs collapse or rise.
At most, this incident can add some topics for conversation. They just want to make money and live, and the demise of the gang obviously has no impact on them.
Except for the locals of Taiping Island, panic gradually spread throughout the area.
However, deep within this calm sea, there are undercurrents one after another. Even though Taiping Island is a lawless area, Night City has never let go of its attention to it.
In any case, Taiping Island is part of Night City, and this area has great development value.
Even big companies like Arasaka and Militech will not let go of this piece of fat.
The reason they didn't eat this piece of fat in the past was because it was thorny and they couldn't focus all their energy on it. If they really wanted to remove the thorns, it was not impossible for them, but it would be completely not worth it.
But now, the thorns have been removed, leaving only the tempting benefits.
However, before eating this piece of fat, they still have to clarify one issue.
Jack the Ripper, where did this guy come from?
Is this guy a cyborg secretly made by some company? Unfortunately, there is no mark on this cyborg, so it is impossible to tell which company it belongs to.
They only knew that this cyborg was very strong, even stronger than Adam Hammer of Arasaka.
Because this cyborg named Jack the Ripper, like Adam Sledgehammer, had his entire body modified, but Adam Sledgehammer was unable to destroy the Voodoo Gang in a short period of time.
It is better to say that cyber hackers like the Voodoo Gang are the nemesis of heavily modified humans like Adam Hammer.
Once the prosthesis is hacked by cyber hackers, no matter how powerful it is, it will be completely paralyzed.
Therefore, these investigating companies are very interested in this sudden appearance of Jack the Ripper.
…
"He actually sent out my information before he died. I didn't expect he could trick me before he died."
Xia Yu squatted on the roof, browsing the new information circulating on the Internet through the virtual vision in front of him.
That is, a cyborg named Jack the Ripper invaded Taiping Island and massacred the Voodoo Gang stationed there, and even completely eradicated the Voodoo Gang's base camp.
Even the leader, Maman Bridget, was killed by Jack the Ripper.
The publisher of this information was Maman Bridget, who edited the content just before his death and then published the edited information onto the Night City network through a brain-computer interface.
"No wonder that woman asked me who I was before she died. It doesn't matter. It won't affect me anyway."
Looking at the handsome face in the intelligence, Xia Yu didn't care too much. Even if his face was revealed, it didn't matter anyway. It was not his real appearance.
At this time, he had not left Taiping Island. After killing Mammon Bridget, he cleared out the Voodoo Gang's stronghold and sent all the remaining members to hell.
Then he planned to take care of the scavengers stationed here as well.
Taiping Island not only has voodoo gangs, but also scavengers.
However, the scavengers are not so much a gang as they are a group united by a huge network of interests; they have neither important members nor a camp location.
There is no distinction between high and low, old and young within the gang. They will recognize whoever can lead them to make money as their leader, and often the leader is the most unscrupulous, brutal and cunning guy in the gang.
Because there is no specific base, the scavengers' "business" covers almost every corner of the city. But even so, they have concentrated places, and these places are the northern part of Taiping Island and the southern part of Meiquan District.
Previously, the residents of Taiping Island were protected by the Voodoo Gang. Now that the Voodoo Gang has been destroyed, these scavengers will only become more unscrupulous.
They probably would treat all residents of Taiping Island as a source of goods, and then continuously supply these products to the market in need.
Xia Yu felt that he had a small share of responsibility here, so he decided to take responsibility and send the scavengers here to hell as well.
He has been in charge of this until now. The scavenger has no fixed base. He can only search on the Internet through the Ghost Walker, and then switch to Thunder and Kill.
He continued cleaning until other areas noticed the abnormality in Taiping Island, and then he finally finished.
"It's finally over, let's call it a day."
Xia Yu drew his sword with blood and put the weapon back into the scabbard.
He had also cleared out all the scavengers on Taiping Island, and now the only ones left on Taiping Island were the residents, the Haitian immigrants who once stayed.
However, without the protection and restraint of the Voodoo Gang, Taiping Island will surely fall into endless chaos.
He couldn't do anything about it now. After all, he was alone, and his personal strength could not form a force.
Without power, personal force could not make everyone submit, so he was stuck in this position.
Xia Yu shook his head to get rid of these random thoughts, opened his system with a thought, and then took a closer look.
"Hmm? After this trip, I actually raised my proficiency in lightning to around 40%. That's pretty good."
Looking at the number in the proficiency column, Xia Yu was a little surprised. He thought that this time it would be at most 20% to 30%. After all, he didn't use the lightning skills much, he just chopped and chopped the whole time.
But the lightning in the game is just chopping and chopping, so it fits the idea quite well.
"The extraction points have also increased by four points. If I save up a little more, I can get another ten-draw. According to my luck, the next ten-draw will probably be all blue sky and white clouds."
Xia Yu didn't have much hope for the next ten-draw. If he could draw the SSR Thunder this time, he would definitely not be able to draw anything good next time.
That was what happened the last time I drew Ghost Walker. After drawing Ghost Walker, the next ten draws were basically daily characters, which were not of much help to him at all.
"Forget it. There's already thunder and lightning. Why would you need a bicycle?"
Just as Xia Yu was about to shut down the system, a pop-up window suddenly appeared.
[The system can be updated, do you want to update it? ]
【whether】
"Um?"
Looking at the pop-up window that suddenly popped up on the system, Xia Yu was surprised.
What is this?
His system can actually be updated? What kind of system is this that keeps up with the times?
Looking at the "Yes·No" in the pop-up window, Xia Yu suddenly wondered what the effect would be if he clicked the "·".
But he still resisted the urge to do this. Who knows, it might not have any effect at all, and might even make the update prompt disappear.
He didn't find the words "Check for Updates" on this system.
But he didn't click "yes" so hastily. After all, system updates should be done with caution, and some updates may not necessarily be a good thing.
Just like some games, even if a large update patch is released, the original optimization becomes worse, so it is better not to update.
"Um……"
After thinking silently for a moment, Xia Yu decided to go home and talk about it later.
On the way back, you can slowly think about whether to update or not. Also, when you update, you may not be able to use the card abilities, so you need to pay attention to this.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu changed the card in the card slot back to Ghost Walker. Ghost Walker is still faster when traveling.
And now that Lei Dian has been exposed, if he walks out on the street like this, he will definitely be discovered, and then will attract company dogs and NCPD.
On the contrary, Ghost Walker is much more low-key, although there are also reasons why Ghost Walker cannot be high-profile.
After finishing all this, Xia Yu took off with a super jump and rushed towards his apartment at a low-altitude flying speed.
During this period of time, Taiping Island also welcomed its own uninvited guests, who were company employees sent by the company to investigate the situation.
Low-level company employees are like consumables and are not valued much by the company. It is common for them to die suddenly at work.
What’s even more outrageous is that there is no compensation for sudden death. After all, you died suddenly at work voluntarily, and the company didn’t force you to do so.
If you don't want to do it, just quit. There are plenty of people who can do it, and you won't be missing out.
Remember, it is you who need the company, not the company that needs you.
In such an environment, low-level company employees have no intention of resigning even if they have to work 16 hours a day, because they know that as long as they dare to resign, the company will find other employees to replace them.
As long as they have not become irreplaceable senior executives of the company, even if they are mid-level managers of the company, they are consumables that may be consumed at any time.
Therefore, when faced with dangerous tasks assigned to them by the company, they have to come even if they strongly disagree with it.
Then they met gang members who were also here to investigate. These gangs knew that they couldn't get a share of the pie, but they could still pick up some leftovers.
It is estimated that before long, Taiping Island will not even be able to maintain its superficial peace.
…
After running at high speed for a while, Xia Yu returned to the apartment.
After returning home, Xia Yu first locked all the doors and windows, then sat cross-legged on his bed, staring at the system in front of him.
After setting up three projected bamboo incense sticks for the system, Xia Yu clicked "Yes" without hesitation.
On the way back, he had already figured it out, which was to update the system.
He had already thoroughly explored the original system, so he would definitely try updating the system to see if it could bring some new features.
Furthermore, this system is not like those mobile phone and computer systems. It will definitely not become slower with each update. It will not castrate the original functions after the update.
It shouldn’t be that serious…right?
Xia Yu suddenly hesitated again, but he had already nodded, so there was no point in thinking more at this moment.
[System updating——]
【Update completed! Welcome to use system version 2.0! 】
"So fast? I thought I would have to wait for a day or two."
Watching the system update in just a few seconds , Xia Yu suddenly felt that it was a bit foolish for him to be so cautious, as if he was fighting a battle of wits with the air.
"After the update, it's version 2.0. It turns out the previous system wasn't a beta version."
After making a casual complaint, Xia Yu looked at the system interface, trying to find out whether this update added some functions that were not originally there, or simply optimized some of the original functions.
"Let me see. The name hasn't changed. The card slot can only hold one card. The proficiency hasn't changed. The cards I have haven't changed. The card drawing method is still the same... Hmm? Summoning cards?"
Xia Yu was slightly startled, and a new button appeared below the card drawing button.
[Summon Card]
"This summoning? Is it the kind of summoning I think it is?"
Xia Yu pondered for a moment and clicked on the summoning card. Then all the cards he had were arranged in front of him, and the information about the summoning card also flooded into his mind.
The function of the summoning card is just as the name suggests. It can summon the character in the card into reality, but once summoned, it cannot be turned back into a card.
Correspondingly, he cannot use and obtain the power of this character, but if the proficiency of the card reaches 100%, everything will be fine.
Cards with 100% proficiency can summon characters, and the corresponding abilities they obtain will not disappear. This can be considered a reward mechanism.
When the card characters are summoned, their loyalty to him is immediately maximized, because it is he who makes those characters real, so there is no possibility of rebellion.
"Interesting, it looks like I can also form a force?"
Xia Yu looked at the new features added after the system update, stroked his chin and pondered for a while. This feature was like a timely help, which could just solve his shortcoming of fighting alone.
Since there is currently no power to fight against all companies, he might be able to form his own company and then change the world through corporate wars.
Night City can be the starting point for a new company, and then slowly expand to the world.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief. After such a long time, he finally had a goal. So, why not try summoning cards now?
Somehow, he suddenly remembered Mai Shiranui who he drew last time.
“…”
"I...I'm just trying."
Although he was the only one in the room, Xia Yu explained it inexplicably. Then he found Mai Shiranui from the cards he had and clicked the summon button.
In an instant, Mai Shiranui's character card emerged from the void, and then slowly expanded into a human figure filled with holy light.
"...No way, this needs to be covered by the Holy Light."
Xia Yu used his hands to block the dazzling holy light. When the holy light dissipated, a girl in sexy red clothes appeared in front of him.
The extremely revealing clothing is like two pieces of cloth. Fortunately, she has a proud bust that can hold up the cloth and prevent it from sliding to the side.
It's definitely Mai Shiranui. With that bust size and that outfit, it should be no one else but her.
"おはよう!あなたはprivatemasterですか?"
"Master?"
When Xia Yu heard the first words spoken by Mai Shiranui, he felt that something was wrong with the style of the painting. It felt like a summoning of a heroic spirit.
So, the Mai Shiranui in front of us is a heroic spirit?
Thinking of this, Xia Yu frowned. It seemed that he had to feed the tiger with his own body and take a closer look to see whether the girl was a real person or a heroic spirit.
The doors and windows happened to be locked, and they were still in bed. It was the right time, the right place, and the right people.
A fierce football game begins!
【Expand】
The game is over!
After the incident, Mai Shiranui lay on Xia Yu's chest, looking satisfied and silent. Xia Yu frowned, wishing he could go back to the moment when he was summoned and slap himself.
Why couldn't he control himself? Now that I think about it, why can't I control myself? It's just sex, boring.
How should I end this now? I did this and that to the summoned character right from the start. Why couldn't I just hold on a little longer? I could have gotten through this by just holding on.
Damn it!
How should he start now? Should he summon a card character to ask? He actually drew quite a lot of female character cards.
