Chapter 90 Prosthetics Are Responsibilities

"Ahhh..."

Chen Wenrui was a little annoyed, "Is David really going to become a cyber maniac? Just like his big brother Mann?"

"Can't he just give up the heavyweight prosthesis and change to a lighter one?"

He muttered.

But although he said so, he also knew that David would never give up the heavyweight prosthesis.

Because David is now the leader of the team and the support of his partners, just like Mann was back then.

And David is not only that, he even shoulders the dream of his mother Gloria, the responsibility entrusted to him by his big brother Mann, and...

The dream of promising to take Lucy to the moon.

So he must not fail, and he must not give up just like that.

Giving up the powerful prosthesis on his body may very likely lead to his inability to protect his partners and loved ones.

Especially in a dangerous place like Night City.

And as a well-known figure in the marginal walker group, David's team will definitely not be without enemies or competitors.

Once these enemies or competitors know that David's prosthesis has been downgraded, they will come to seek revenge.

That would be a catastrophe for David and his companions.

Even if David and his companions had no enemies, could David's military prosthesis "Sian Westin" guarantee that no one would miss him?

Everyone understands the principle that a man is innocent but guilty of a treasure.

That's why David didn't dare to downgrade his prosthesis, because his prosthesis is not only related to him.

The responsibility David shoulders is even heavier than his prosthesis!

Just like in contemporary society, why do some people risk their lives to do high-risk jobs?

Workers working at high altitudes, truck drivers, coal miners... and other jobs are all very dangerous.

If you are not careful, you will lose your life.

Isn't it because they shoulder the responsibility of a family?

If you don't have a heavy burden on your body, who would be willing to gamble your life on tomorrow...

As an adult, Chen Wenrui can naturally see this.

But because of this, he thinks David's life is too...

Heavy.

No wonder Qingshan Laozei said that the cause of cyberpsychosis is not entirely due to the erosion of nerves by prosthetics.

The main reason is the pressure and responsibility they bear.

This cruel world of capital not only transforms the human body with cold and ruthless machines, but also alienates the human spirit with hateful values.

This is the cruelest part of the cyberpunk world.

Beautiful and kind individuals will eventually drown in this era under the impact of the cruel and ruthless torrent of the times by capital companies.

Only profit-seeking, insidious and cunning bastards like Faraday can survive.

Just like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the one who can laugh to the end and sweep across the wilderness to unify the country is not the most benevolent and moral uncle Liu who cares most about the people.

Instead, it is Sima Yi and his Sima family who have eagle eyes and wolf eyes, endure and shrink in the face of humiliation, swear by Luoshui, and are shameless.

Because under the torrent of the times, kindness and benevolence and morality are actually just a burden.

Chen Wenrui continued to read magazines one after another.

Faraday talked directly with the head of Arasaka Corporation, and they mentioned the term "cyborg" again.

And they reached a consensus because military technology rejected Faraday's conditions.

So Faraday chose to cooperate with Arasaka Corporation, and under the commission of Arasaka Corporation, he investigated the identity of the hacker who deleted the data in Tanaka's neural network.

This makes people worry about Lucy.

After all, comic fans with a God's perspective know that Faraday also learned from Mann that Qiwei was injured and sent to the hospital.

So the hacker who searched for the data in Tanaka's neural network was another substitute hacker in the team.

It's just not clear whether Faraday, the middleman who is high above the general cyberpunk team, will know that the substitute hacker is Lucy.

Most comic fans hope that Faraday doesn't know, but Chen Wenrui knows it very well.

Next, Lucy will definitely be known by Faraday, so that the subsequent plot can continue to advance vigorously.

And the plot in the comics continues.

At the same time, Lucy called Qiwei to find out about David's current situation because she noticed David's recent abnormalities.

After Qiwei told Lucy that David was doing well, she changed the subject and asked Lucy if she planned to return to the team.

"In my opinion, although David is willing to wait for you, he really wants you to come back now."

Qiwei said.

"... I know."

Lucy responded helplessly.

"Is it still not possible?"

"Not yet, but it's almost over."

Seeing this, everyone actually knew that the reason why Lucy didn't join the team now was because she had to clear the tracking of Arasaka Company.

She should be protecting David. The file in Tanaka's mind at the beginning had David's information.

"Really? Forget it, I won't ask more."

Qiwei responded seemingly normally.

But then, she said, "Don't trust anyone in Night City. If you are betrayed because of this, it's your own fault."

"Is that what I taught you?"

"Yes... you taught me."

Lucy responded with a chuckle.

This conversation between Lucy and Qiwei looked very normal, and Chen Wenrui didn't care, just thinking it was a normal conversation.

However, after Qiwei hung up the phone with Lucy, Faraday called Qiwei...

Chen Wenrui was shocked, but...

Qiwei was "one of us" and would never betray her partner.

Especially since she and Lucy had always been a teacher and friend.

However, even if the supporting characters didn't betray the protagonists, it was inevitable that the villains would catch the supporting characters and force the protagonists to show up to save people.

After all, from Faraday's perspective, Qiwei was saying that she didn't know who the backup hacker in the team was.

It is estimated that Faraday would not believe it, and then take tough measures to catch Qiwei.

Whether he planned to torture her or directly sneak into Qiwei's neural network to find the relevant memory.

They had to find Lucy, the hacker behind the deletion of the data in Tanaka's neural network.

This kind of plot is not uncommon in other comics.

Then David and Lucy had to rescue Qiwei and were forced to be exposed.

But in general, in such a plot, the captured supporting characters will basically die bravely in order to protect the protagonists from escaping, and intend to use their lives to cover the escape of the protagonists.

"I see, it seems that this is the case."

Chen Wenrui thought he had guessed the direction of the next plot, and said very confidently, "It seems that Qi Wei will be caught by Faraday next."

"But... from this point of view, is Qi Wei the next character to be stabbed?"

He guessed so.

Try a new writing method, the main line is in the comics, and then the life story line will be finished on the weekends, and then the story will be written according to the writing method of these three days.

In addition, I actually plan to update at least four chapters every day after the release... I tried the method of writing and saving drafts these days, basically writing five chapters and posting two chapters every day, which feels okay, but I don’t know if I can maintain this update frequency after work...

If you still think the plot is watery, I can only make up for it by bursting, really... I am not deliberately watering or anything, I rarely use the system to copy the water word count, it’s just that I am not very good at controlling the rhythm of writing a book for the first time.

I am also learning the rhythm of writing similar works. I have been trying it out in the past few days to see how everyone responds.
