Chapter 3: Die before leaving the army

[In 2059, you were born again in Night City. Unlike the last time, you had no parents in this life. Maybe you were abandoned, or both of them died. However, this kind of thing is not uncommon in Night City.

You don't have to be surprised.

From the time you can remember, you have been hanging out in the twisted streets of Westbrook, Night City.

Westbrook, one of the six major districts in Night City, has the best entertainment venues in the city, especially Japan Street, which is also a must-visit place for many middle-level employees after get off work.

As an orphan and a street kid, you are barely surviving here.

3-6 years old, as a rare orphan on the street, you have memories of past lives and are very good at pretending. Although the adult world is always full of cruelty and ruthlessness, these seem to have little to do with you.

The usually domineering members of the Tiger Claw Gang will take good care of you, the street sex dolls who want to take every penny out of customers' pockets will also take pity on you, and some shop vendors will also give you some food for free.

You are very sensible, and you often help others run errands and deliver packages. These odd jobs are your only means of livelihood. Many people in the Tiger Claw Gang want to teach you some tricks to get by, with your cute and innocent face.

, you must be able to get along well in Twisted Street.

But you politely refused and just wanted to make a living by yourself.

This upright attitude also attracted the appreciation of many people. For example, the owner of the pachinko shop, Wakako Okada, wanted to adopt you as her grandson, but you still refused.

There are memories related to this world in your mind. As a player who has played this game before, it is normal to have the idea of ​​​​"My fate is up to me."

When you are 7-8 years old, you are still wandering on the street in Twist Street. The arrogance in your heart has long disappeared. You only regret why you were so arrogant in the first place.

Wouldn’t it be nice to hug someone’s thigh? Why did you refuse it in the first place?

Although the thigh is a bit old and the old bacon is a bit hard to chew, it doesn’t matter!

Because you know very well that in two or three years, the Unification War will begin. Arasaka Company will come to Night City like an emperor, and all the old patterns will be broken. By then, Night City will inevitably be in turmoil.

You are weak and helpless and have no support. It is difficult for you to survive in this disaster.

Maybe you once had an affair with Lady Luck, and you got another chance to change your life.

On a dark and stormy night, a female executive of Kangtao Company unfortunately did something wrong and ran into trouble on Twist Street.

But fortunately, the female executive was lucky enough to meet you, and you were also lucky enough to meet her. With your understanding of the game map and your experience as a streetwalker over the years, you helped the female executive solve the problem.

Between the ages of 8 and 12, you lucked out and became the adopted son of that Kangtao female executive!

As a well-known giant company in the world, Kangtao Company treats its employees extremely favorably. They only need to work 14 hours a day. After signing a 50-year labor contract, they can even get gold membership of the trauma team for free!

As a lower-middle-level female executive, that lady gives you generous living conditions and loves you like a parent.

During the past four years, you inadvertently revealed to female executives the direction of future events, such as the outbreak of the Unification War in 2069-2070, Arasaka Corporation's return to Night City to publicly intervene in the conflict, and other major events, in addition to the extinction in 2061

Bird movements and little things like that...

Thanks to knowing the occurrence of these events in advance, the female executives cleverly used these events as a stepping stone, and their status within Kangtao Company increased...

At the age of 12, Arasaka Corporation founded Arasaka Academy in order to increase its influence in Night City. The academy has a middle school department and a university department. Outstanding graduates can directly enter Arasaka Corporation for internships.

Because you want to explore the teaching methods of Arasaka College, and it is time for you to enter higher education, and by the way, you know some senior cadres of the same class, the female executive arranged the admission process for you at Arasaka College.

When you are 13-16 years old, the boring study life begins. You can't help but feel that this world is more complicated than the Blue Star world before. Studying day and night leaves you with almost no free time.

You were confused and shouted angrily, why did even students get 996 in 2077?

During this period, you also met an interesting classmate, his name is David Martinez, who is the same age as you and is also your classmate.

With a little help, you learn about his family background: a single-parent family, and his mother is an emergency medical technician at Night City Medical Center...

With the other person's family background, it is impossible for him to study at Arasaka Academy.

For various reasons, the two of you became good friends. He provided you with some Black Mewtwo, and you provided him with some learning tools that you could not use, but that he could use...

At the age of 17, you start skipping school, because in one year it will be 2077, when the game plot officially begins.

You don’t know what the famous V looks like, you don’t know whether V is a boy or girl, let alone whether he/she is your game character.

You don’t want to miss this important event, and you don’t want to be caught up in the rolling torrent of history, unable to resist, so you try your best to improve your strength, and the course gradually falls behind.

During this period, you, who had been on strike for a long time, suddenly heard some of David's deeds: his mother died in an accident, he beat up his classmates in class, and then dropped out of school...

However, you were eagerly looking for ways to improve your strength and wanted to get involved in V's deeds in the second year, so you didn't pay too much attention to the news.

When you hear news about David again, several months later, you even wonder if you heard it wrong:

David has become a legend in the next life!

Afterlife - the most famous underground bar in Night City. Any mercenary or lone wolf would be proud to enter the bar. Many big businesses and deals in the city are also negotiated in this humble bar.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Being able to become a legend there means that David has already laid in the tomb.

Because there are no living legends in Night City, at least not yet.

You are confused that such a big event has no relevant plot in 2077.

Could it be the content of subsequent DLC?

Before time travel, you were the one who pre-ordered "Cyberpunk 2077". You had only played version 1.0 and your knowledge was limited.

Now, everything is too late. You desperately collected information, and in the end you only found out that there was a cyber madman named David who broke into Arasaka Tower from the bad land, annihilated the military technology troops, and eliminated the pursuing Arasaka.

Secret Service.

He broke into Arasaka Tower on a full moon night and finally died at the hands of Adam Hammer.

Such a big thing, you actually only know the final BOSS in the game - Adam Hammer, this parallel BOSS that can be hacked to death by the game character V with a few swords.

You can't help but sigh that things are impermanent.

However, everything has nothing to do with you.

At the age of 18, after a year of training, you consider yourself a "magic master". With the help of your adoptive mother, you now have a top-notch prosthetic body.

With full confidence, you begin to accept commissions. After completing the commissions several times alone, your self-confidence becomes more and more inflated.

While you plan your development until you are qualified to enter the afterlife bar, you are waiting for the arrival of the game character v.

Your reputation is gradually revealed in Night City, until one day, you finally have enough qualifications to enter the Afterlife Bar!

Just when you entered the afterlife bar happily, you saw that glass of wine on the wine list.

(Drink name: David Martinez)

(Vodka, ice, and cocoa in a bullet cup.)

"Greatness in life, glory in death!"

In response to this, you remained silent for a long time, and finally, being a little allergic to alcohol, you paid for the drink named after your classmate.

That night, you secretly swore that you would definitely become a living legend in Night City!

A month or two later.

Finally one day, the top-notch prosthetic body on your body was spotted.

You were wandering on the street and your waist was cut by a street sweeper.

Your life is over.]

Lin Mo:?

You boasted so much about me, only to have your waist cut off by a scavenger?

Wait, that seems reasonable...

After all, even the protagonist in the game, the famous V, would get his waist cut off if he wasn't careful, not to mention that his strength is far inferior to V's.

[The simulation evaluation and rewards are being summarized]

[Evaluation: Died before leaving the army, which makes the hero burst into tears.]

[Reward: A top-notch prosthetic body, multiple commissioned combat experience...]

[The simulation is over. Do you want to choose to experience it personally, experience this life, and change your destiny? 】

[Note: If you choose to experience this life, you will get the growth experience of the entire life and all the gains of this life. At the same time, you will also change the timeline of destiny and change your established destiny]

Lin Mo fell into silence.

Originally, he planned to take the reward directly, and did not want to waste time on experiencing life again.

But if you think about it carefully, simply acquiring this top-level prosthetic body does not require any combat experience or any time for growth and development...

Can he really get along in reality?

After all, in The Sims, he ended up with his waist cut...

And after withdrawing the reward, he didn't know if there was any chance left to continue the simulation.

"After I choose to simulate, is the life I experience real or fake?" Lin Mo suddenly asked.

[Immersive life simulation experience, everything you experience is real, you can treat it as restarting your life]

Then there's nothing to think about.

Lin Mo made a decision immediately.

There is no need to continue the simulation again, after all, the results of this simulation are not bad.

"I choose to experience." Lin Mo replied.

[Congratulations on your first immersive simulation experience, and I wish you a perfect life in your new life. 】

[Since this is your first time performing an immersive simulation, we will now distribute a novice gift pack to you]

[Newbie Gift Pack: Katana-Black Unicorn, Wolf School Bulletproof Jacket, Troll Baby Pillow, Immortal Weapon-Dragon Shadow Production Specifications, 3 Character Attributes]

[The current character attributes are as follows: physical body 3, reaction 4, technology 3, intelligence 3, calmness 4]
