Stone Ridge Mountain, underground cave. The two part-time cybernetic doctors of the Night Wanderers and the seven captives who were brought here by the way are now lying in the nest, unconscious. Li You parked the car next to the bar and took Yuzu and Aggie down into the cave. After Aggie communicated with the Night Demons, he reported to Li You: "The conditions of these wounded are all maintained well. At least there is no problem to support until the transformation is completed. Two are already transformed. The two cybernetic doctors have not been soaked in the transformation according to your instructions." After the last upgrade of the Night Demon Nest Core, the area increased, and the number of sensory Night Demon transformation pools also increased by one. Now two people can be transformed at a time. Li You nodded: "I don't know if the cybernetic doctor's brain-computer chip will affect their surgery if it is useless. Let's not rush. Wake them up." Aggie glanced at it, and immediately two Night Demons came forward and slapped the two cybernetic doctors to wake them up. The two people were a man and a woman, both with protruding electronic eyes, tattoos all over their bodies, and fierce appearances. But when they woke up, they immediately saw a large group of grinning night demons, and they almost fainted again. Li You came in front of them, patted their faces, and said, "Calm down, both of you. My time is precious, so let's get straight to the point."
"Your task is to understand the biological structure of these creatures in front of you, and find a way to make them use prosthetics. If this is done well, you can live. If not..." He snapped his fingers, and several clothed individuals in the night demon group came to the two of them. The two night-walking ghost cyborg doctors were still a little wary and puzzled, but when they saw the familiar eyebrows and eyes of these night demons, they were shocked: "You are... Juan!?" "McGee!? What's wrong with you...?" Li You waved his hand again, and the sensing night demons returned to stand aside. Then he showed an expression that looked like a devil in the eyes of the two night-walking ghosts and said: "It seems that you have understood. If you do a good job, you will still be you. If you don't do it, or don't cooperate, then I will turn you into one of them. Understand?" With the real threat, the two night-walking ghost cyborg doctors nodded like chickens pecking at rice, and dared not say a word. "Very good." Li You waved his hand, and the sensing night demon that was just recognized by the two came forward and untied them. "I think you know that contacting the outside world for help is a dream. You should have discovered that there is a virus chip inserted in your neck, which can prevent any of your attempts to connect to the Internet. So, just do what I say." Li You is certainly not threatening. He asked Lucy for help and bought this virus chip for a small amount of money. The quality is guaranteed. The two touched the back of their necks, and their faces had turned pale as paper. "...Understood." They surrendered completely. Li You was satisfied. In front of the two, he gave the order to the Night Demons, "If they try to pull out the chip, throw them directly into the transformation pool", and then took Yuzu and Edge back to the ground. It was late at night. In the night of the Bad Land, you can see the twinkling stars in the sky, which is a scene that cannot be seen in the Night City where neon lights are on day and night. Li You sat on the front hood of the Merrimack, looking at the night sky, and smiled to Youzi and Edge beside him for a while: "It's nice to sit down and look at the starry sky occasionally." Age was busy observing the constellations and ignored him at all. Youzi looked up with him and asked: "Why do those stars shine?" "You asked a question that sounds like a child would ask." Li You laughed, "The stars themselves can shine, just like the sun. It's just because they are too far away from us that they look so small."
"To be honest, it's the moon that doesn't shine. But it reflects the light of the sun. Once it appears, the light of the stars is suppressed." Youzi rarely put on a thoughtful look. Just when Li You was a little curious about what he was thinking, he suddenly opened his mouth and read: "'When the bright moon falls into the mountains, the stars will shine.'" Li You was stunned at the time. "…Yuzu, how do you know this?" Yuzu smiled: "I heard you say it once in Karim's place. It was in a book." "Is that so?" Li You smiled and shook his head, "You have a really good memory. I don't even remember this." "I think it's very interesting, so I remembered it." Yuzu looked up at the moonless night sky again, with an unpredictable look on her face, "In the future, can I go to the homes of those stars and take a look?" Li You thought about the games he had played before, and then answered: "Maybe." The three of them didn't say anything more, just looked at the twinkling stars in the sky, immersed in the rare soothing atmosphere at this time. One night passed. Early the next morning, Li You drove back to Night City with Yuzu and Edge. Since they made a lot of money from the last commission, they no longer lived in the "HOtel" chain hotel. The standard room conditions of the Japanese Street Hotel were really not good, and the more expensive suites were not cost-effective. So Li You has moved out of the hotel and rented an apartment. It is hard to say whether it was for fun or pure coincidence, but the apartment that Li You rented in the end was a standard apartment on the middle floor of the super skyscraper H8 - yes, it was the same apartment that the protagonist V of the game and the protagonist David of the animation lived in at the beginning. Super skyscrapers are all template-type buildings, so the structure of the middle-floor apartments is exactly the same. Although the space here is still a little small, it is enough for the three of them to live for the time being. At least, the bathroom and washbasin here are equipped with a water purification system, so the dark red tap water full of rust will not flow out when the faucet is turned on, as if it is haunted. Of course, considering that he may move to another house soon, Li You rents on a monthly basis and has only paid three months' rent for the time being, so he has only spent a few thousand euros and has enough balance. If there is any trouble living here, it is probably that there are too many guests running upstairs to the top of the cloud every night, and the elevator is very crowded during that time. Li You had thought about renting a house in the super skyscraper H4, which was the building where David and his mother lived. Unfortunately, after asking, he found that there were no apartments available for rent there for the time being, so he had to give up. But it was not a big problem. Li You had already informed Mann that if he received any "rare prosthesis", he would call him. Li You parked his car in the garage of the super skyscraper H8, then took the elevator to the ninth floor and returned to his apartment. Standing by the window, Li You looked at the busy scene of Night City every morning and thought in his heart. What exactly does it take to become a "true legend" of Night City recognized by the system? ... Half a day later, Watson North District, Long Beach North Apartment. "Hi, thank you for your patronage, welcome to visit next time - I don't believe it!!" Rebecca sent Li You out of her apartment door like she was driving someone away, and said: "You got everything you wanted! Don't come to my house if you have nothing to do in the future!" Li You was not annoyed at all, but teased: "But your brother just told me that if you want other guns and plug-in production specifications in the future, you can come to him at any time?"
"That poor guy doesn't keep his word!!" Rebecca said angrily, "I pay the rent for this apartment, and I have the final say in this house! I say I don't welcome you, and I don't welcome you!" "It's all because of you. Now Sasha doesn't even go on missions with us. How can you be responsible!" She said this without hiding anything, and Li You could only spread his hands and leave on his own. Aggie and Yuzu were waiting by the car. Li You got back in the car and said, "Let's go home and mail it!" This time, Li You bought the production specifications of three guns from Rebecca's brother Pira. They are: Dara Tech DR-5 Nova, Mallorian Prologue, and Hi-Tech Military SPT32 Ice Storm. The first two are kinetic revolvers, and the latter is a powerful kinetic sniper rifle. These three weapon production specifications are to be sent to Rupert, a master gunsmith in Harlan City. As for why the drawings of these three guns were chosen, it is also very simple, because what Li You wanted was for Rupert to modify his hand cannon X and anti-material sniper rifle, so he naturally chose the drawings of the same type of guns. While sending the gun production specifications to Rupert, Li You also wrote a letter to Louis, and attached a sample of Yuzu's current tissue. Two days ago, Li You received a reply from Louis, which stated that according to his research and tests, with Yuzu's current physique, he should be able to try to merge with the G virus little by little. Louis said in the letter that Yuzu already had the G-Progenitor in his body, and the fusion with the Nemesis Alpha parasite was also very perfect. As long as the amount of G virus absorbed was strictly controlled, the probability of accidents was very low. However, Louis also warned Li You that all data were only for reference, and the actual situation might be very different, so it was best not to make such an attempt without suitable conditions. Li You thanked him for his reminder, but for him, the so-called conditions were actually not a concern. After all, he had two powerful weapons in his hands, the Robe of Light and the Son of the Sun Incense Burner. So after winning Yuzu's consent, Li You used the G virus on him. As for the effect, it was indeed remarkable. After absorbing the G virus, Yuzu was fully strengthened. Not to mention the slight improvement in his basic physical quality, he also unlocked a new second-stage form on the spot, and now he can use a small part of the abilities of those advanced forms in the normal state of the first stage. For example, when dealing with the Night Wanderer yesterday, Yuzu used the ability of the Hive Tyrant form to temporarily grow a layer of carapace outside his skin to resist the shooting of guns. Although the defense of the carapace generated in this way is definitely not as good as that in the Hive Tyrant form, and it is only temporary, it provides a great help to the diversification of Yuzu's abilities. After all, once Yuzu degenerates from the second stage, there is a week of weakness. Now, more often he only needs to unlock the corresponding characteristics without evolving to the second stage. As for the newly unlocked forms, they are actually the product of accumulation, but Li You has not tried them yet, because... [Yuzu (Nemesis-T 01)] [Currently available second-stage form samples: lizard/scorpion/ichthyosaur/giant/Zerg Tyrant. 】 According to the system's annotations, the second-stage form of the giant is 15 meters tall, not to mention other things. Once released around Night City, it will definitely attract a lot of attention, so Li You didn't have time to let Yuzu experiment. But Yuzu himself felt that the strength of this form should be worth looking forward to. And at the same time, he also said that the potential of the G virus should not have been fully explored by him, and there is still more room for development. Therefore, Li You wrote to Louis again now, asking him to help check the situation. After all, Yuzu was his earliest companion, so Li You was naturally very concerned. After doing this, today's "effort" came to an end. Li You put the letter into the wooden mailbox of Sky Province, and after watching the messenger demon take the package away, he collapsed directly on the sofa. "Although there are other things to do, let's take a break now." Don't be too anxious. After all, the Night City action plan formulated by Li You will be scheduled until next year, and it is necessary to relax after being busy.
However, just as he lay down, the mobile phone on the table rang. "Beep, beep, beep--" Looking at the "V"-shaped avatar under the virtual face in the caller ID box, Li You helplessly covered his face. How about just hanging up?
