After becoming invincible, start having fun in the world

Chapter 25 David
On the Night City viaduct, a Thunderbolt Mackinaw Larrimore is running.

V closed the chat group page, turned his head to look at a muscular man who was driving and said with a smile: "Jack, I have a big brother coming over, make room for him."

"Oh?" Jack looked at V in surprise. "I've never heard that you have a big brother? Let's move. There are only a few guns in the back seat. If we push them aside, there's still room for another person. Where should we go to pick him up?"

"No need to answer it, he will come over by himself, and it might be very cool later." V thought for a while and said.

"It's okay? I didn't add any special effects this time. Can I go back and do it again?" A voice suddenly appeared in the back seat.

"I'll go!" X2
"Brother, where did you come from? Magic? Or a hacker?" Jack was startled and quickly turned on the automatic driving to restart his prosthetic eye.

"Yeah, that's fucking scary, brother." V was also scared. He thought Chu Ke would use the chat group to open a portal, but the other party suddenly appeared. Then he remembered that his brother could teleport by himself.

"Just think of it as a superpower," Zuko explained to Jack.

He still has a good impression of Jack. This buddy who is particularly loyal and passionate about life left him with good memories in the game. The final ending made Chu Ke sad for a long time.

He is the true legend of Night City.

"Wow, I believe in Tarot." Jack didn't take it seriously, but he felt like they could get along well. "By the way, V, you're pretty thin, you don't seem to have any prosthetics, are you a flesh-and-blood person?"

"Hmm." V thought about Zuko's currently known abilities: "It seems that this can be understood."

Zuko smiled and said, "It's not that I can't get stronger, it's just that it might be inconvenient in my daily life."

It’s hard to imagine that those muscular men with huge biceps need to use several pillows to avoid getting a stiff neck when sleeping.

"Right!" V remembered something and stretched out his hands to show off. A pair of hot-melt mantis-like blades popped out from his arms: "I just made a mantis blade. How about it? Cool, right?"

Hey, I installed a little brother for you.

Chu Ke's mind moved, and the next moment hundreds of mantis knives emerged from his body.

"brush!"

"Fuck!" V was shocked. He forgot that the big brother behind him had a cheat.

"Fuck!" Jack looked at the monster in the rearview mirror and his hand slipped, almost flipping the car over: "Didn't you say flesh pie? What is this?"

"Adam's hammer is not as strong as yours, brother. You don't have enough meat, right?"

As he spoke, Jack sent a message to V using his artificial eye: "Are you so wild, brother?"

"necessary."

Zuko ignored their crickets: "Abandon all physical mechanical ascension faction, referred to as the physical faction."

"Speaking of which, where is David? I didn't see his car?" Chu Ke looked around, all of his basic strength was restrained within his body. Judging from his visual observation, he indeed did not see David and his mother's car.

"In front, it's not good to follow too closely, otherwise it will be too conspicuous."

Jack listened to V and stepped on the accelerator. After overtaking a car, he saw a yellow sedan not far away. The paint on the surface was a bit old, and through the window film that had oxidized to the point that it had no light-blocking effect, he could see the mother and son sitting inside.

Zuko's ears moved and he "heard" their conversation.

David, who had an American-style front spike, shook his legs absentmindedly and looked out the car window: "I can skip school and work to earn money."

David Martinez is a child from an ordinary single-parent family. His mother, Gloria Martinez, is an emergency medical technician at the Night City Medical Center. She secretly steals prosthetic bodies from the dead and sells them to supplement her family income.

Gloria, who wanted her son to succeed, sent David to Arasaka Academy, one of the best schools in Night City, hoping that he could eventually climb to the top of Arasaka Tower. Unfortunately, the high tuition and textbook fees were not affordable for an ordinary family in a cyberpunk worldview. Due to the financial shortage at home, David ignored his mother's dissuasion and used a Mewtwo chip sold on the black market as stationery. During a class, a virus in the chip destroyed the teaching system of Arasaka Academy, causing him to be expelled and owe a large amount of compensation.

Chu Ke's evaluation is very cyberpunk but also very real. The mother's high expectations are an expression of her love for her son. Although the rebellious son is not good at expressing himself, he is also thinking about the family in his own way.

Everyone loves each other in their own wrong way, and this is also the core of the whole plot.

"No matter how hard I study, I can't be like them, and I don't want to become like them." David, who didn't notice his mother's expression, continued to express his thoughts.

The oppression of people like them by the wealthy students in the college has become commonplace. In this era, it can't even be called school violence, because it is the norm, the norm that exists in the entire society.

Gloria was silent for a long time, then suddenly spoke up, crying uncontrollably, "Then why have I been working all this time?"

Chu Ke thoughtfully played this conversation in the car, and Jack, who had never understood what was going on, finally understood what they wanted to do.

"Ah." Jack sighed deeply. "I often had conflicts with my mother like this at that time. At that time, I wanted to join a gang to find a way out, but my mother said it was dangerous and wouldn't let me go. In the end, I went secretly."

“Hahaha.” V laughed. He was a fetus whose soul had only recently awakened his memory. His previous experience with Jack was more profound than the role of “player”. “Now Auntie hasn’t acquiesced, but she’s still worried about you.”

"Hahaha." Jack also laughed out loud and explained to Chu Ke: "He reminded me of me and my mom. I also come from a single-parent family, and my dad is a scumbag. Anyway, Ama a tu madre. (Spanish: Love you, mom)."

They were chatting and laughing all the way, but at this moment Jack's eyes suddenly fixed: "No, that's the logo of the Animal Gang! And there's military technology!"

"That guy's car is stuck in the middle, damn it! I saw a Type 31 heavy machine gun!" Jack stepped on the accelerator, ready to rush in and knock David's car out. His own car was bulletproof, but David's was not.

Zuko knew at a glance that Jack was empathizing, and he looked up at V who was looking at him through the rearview mirror and shook his head gently.

V intervened to stop Jack's actions: "Don't be impatient."

“They are going to die!”

"Don't worry." V ​​patted Jack's thick shoulders: "This is necessary growth in his life."

"Besides, my elder brother is here, so no one will die."

Zuko looked at Jack and nodded, "I'll do it."

Well, the Redwall Emperor is everywhere.

Although Jack was a little stunned, he now understood: "So you knew all along, that's why you came here?"

He didn't believe the young man who had just arrived, but he believed in his good brother V. Jack gritted his teeth, decided to listen to V, and released the accelerator.

Chu Ke tacitly agreed with this statement and looked at the yellow car not far away that was sandwiched between the Animal Gang and Military Technology.

He had different arrangements for David, which at least could prevent many tragedies from happening again.

There are many definitions of having fun, for example, saving some tragedies that you don’t like is also part of having fun.

Besides, who said this wouldn't be fun? Zuko was looking forward to seeing David and V's expressions when they encountered Adam's hammer together as they embarked on the path he had arranged.

It would have been even funnier if David had added, "Do you think you're special?"

While he was thinking, members of the Animal Gang not far away had already set up a heavy machine gun and were aiming it at the Military Technology car through David's car.

　Let me explore the character's personality a little more. I have been revising this chapter for a long time, and I am finally satisfied with it.
