LRAB Chapter 44
Chapter 44
Soon the school was over, and Ali said hello to David before going his separate ways. In order not to worry female V, Ali continued to go to Heywood to find Jack Wells for”training”.
Under Jack’s leadership, they returned to Mrs. Wells’s house, changed their clothes, and Ali instantly changed from”Arasaka’s well-behaved student” to”childish street boy”.
Since Mrs. Wells was not a very important character in the plot, the system did not automatically pop up a”sign-in” signal for her, just like Tanaka.
As a result, Ali forgot to sign in last time, but this time Ali would not forget, and made sure to sign in as soon as he arrived at Mrs. Wells’s house.
「Sign in!」
「Ding, congratulations to the host for signing in for three minutes in the plot character Mrs. Wells. You will get the item: Mrs. Wells’s coffin book”Three thousand euros””
Well, a sign-in like this that the system does not actively pop up really doesn’t get you anything good. Ali sighed helplessly. What’s the use of 3,000 euros? It’s better to forget it than nothing.
Ali greeted Mrs. Wells, but was called aside by Jack Wells mysteriously.
“Ali, I thought about it all night last night. I, Jack, recognize your ability. I really don’t have much to teach you, but we can’t just let you come here in vain every time just to deal with Old V, so I decided to take a deal for both of us!”
“The mission is not difficult, and the reward is not bad. Rescue a woman who was captured by a scavenger, and we will split the reward 50-50. How about that?”
Ali thought he could goof off with Jack for another day today, but he didn’t expect Jack Wells to accept a mercenary mission. But this is quite interesting.
Ali has played games before and knows that this kind of mission can be regarded as the simplest mission, especially when the opponent is a scavenger like a sewer, then this mission is even easier to complete.
Although Ali cannot expose his high-tech implant skills in public, he is confident that if the opponent is just a scavenger, he can easily and smoothly kill them all even with just his gun skills.
“Sure!”
Not only can I relieve my boredom, but I can also earn some extra income. I can also add some cyber merits by saving the scavengers. Why not kill three birds with one stone? Ali agreed decisively:”But before that, I need to go to the weapon store to buy a new gun. The”unified” pistol is too weak for me.”
“Hey, no need to go, Jack, I have already thought of all these, look what I brought for you!”
Jack Wells mysteriously took out a box from his coat pocket and handed it to Ali, then he looked expectantly at Ali’s expression after opening it.
“What is so mysterious?”
Ali took the box and opened it. Inside was a beautiful pistol and several magazines. As a senior gunman, Ali could tell at a glance that it was a Mallorian Overture, a kinetic revolver with great power! The
Mallorian Overture is a double-action revolver with a 42-caliber six-shot semi-automatic kinetic configuration. It has the classic Mallorian qualities: heavy, reliable, and powerful firepower.
Although Mallorian’s market performance has not been as good as its competitors in recent years, the Overture is still an iconic high-quality weapon that can be seen everywhere on the streets.
It is said that the weapon used by the legendary Johnny Silverhand when he broke into the Arasaka Tower was also a revolver produced by Mallorian, but his was a specially modified one.
But this also indirectly shows that the Mallorian Overture that Jack Wells brought to Ali is How powerful! From Ali’s perspective, although this pistol is only blue military grade, it is also the top one in the blue military grade. Its destructive power is not much worse than that of epic custom weapons! If
Ali’s”Unity” pistol is only worth a few hundred euros, then this Mallorian Overture, even if it is second-hand, will cost five or six thousand euros to buy!
This gun is much more expensive than the”Golden Bitch” in Jack Wells’s hand. It seems that Jack Wells has really spent a lot of money for Ali this time.
In other words, this weapon is worth several lives, but at this moment, Jack Wells, who is not rich, gave it to Ali. It would be a lie for Ali to say that he is not moved by this statement.
You know, in Night City, a city where people are willing to sell their parents for money, Jack’s behavior is simply too precious.
“This gun looks like it’s worth a lot of money! I’ll give you the price. I can’t let you bleed all the money by yourself.”
“We are all brothers, so let’s not talk about money. Are you ready? Let’s get ready to go!”
Although Jack Wells was going to give it as a gift, Ali didn’t plan to take it for free. Of course, Jack Wells said it was a gift, so he patted Ali’s shoulder and deliberately changed the subject. In short, he was unwilling to let Ali pay for anything.
Ali had no choice but to accept this kindness. He followed Jack Wells into a second-hand car he rented. After all, it was always more convenient to take a car when going out on a mission, and he wouldn’t feel bad if his own car was damaged.
Jack Wells started the car, and with the roar of the car, they started from Heywood. Jack, who was driving the car, also turned on the car radio, and Stanley’s unique voice came out from it!
“Hello, Night City! I’m your Stanley. Another long day has begun in our City of Dreams! I love this city like you love your mom. Back then, she threw you at the door of an orphanage, but now she asks you for a cigarette when she sees you on the street.
Every day, there are a hundred or eighty new people, but only half of them can survive for a year, and that’s if they live a good year! Why do they rush to Night City? Isn’t it because they want to be street warriors like Morgan Blackhand or Wayland Snake?”
“There is a saying, remember it, the timid will die of starvation, the bold will die of gluttony……Unfortunately, people are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat. The more you enjoy life, the shorter your life will be. And that’s not even counting someone shooting you in the head. Do you know where all the legendary figures in Night City gather?”
“In the cemetery!!!”
“In our world, heroes are not judged by their origins, but by whether you can carve out your own path. This is Night City, this is the city of dreams!”
Listening to Stanley’s passionate voice on the radio, Jack Wells seemed to be infected by the atmosphere, and he excitedly drove the rented second-hand car!
“This fucking Night City is always exciting. This is your first step towards becoming a cyberpunk. I already feel like I can become a big shot. Do you feel it? Ali!”
“Are you ready to become a legend?”
