Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 129 Abuse of the Lord
The David played by Su Yan is completely different from his previous roles.

After experiencing the baptism and learning of several works, Su Yan's acting skills have also improved significantly.

Audiences like Yue Kaicheng will not have a sense of déjà vu of Arima Kousei, Rurouni Kenshin, and Shen Buyan. Although the people are still the same, the performance style has changed, and the audience's viewing perception will also change accordingly.

A high school boy in Night City.

The family was a single-parent family and they were in financial difficulty because the mother’s salary had been spent and there was even no electricity at home.

Yue Kaicheng's eyes twitched when he saw this.

Power outage?

This is really a niche word.

The level of technology in Xia Country is not as advanced as in the drama, but it’s not the case that the power will be cut off immediately if the bill is not paid, right?
Evil capitalists, won’t you even give us one day’s grace?
And because there is no original game to help the audience understand the world view, the drama version of Edgewalker Su Yan has added some relevant content.

The school David attends requires him to upgrade the software of his implanted chip, which costs a considerable amount of money.

But David didn't want to burden his mother any more. His mother promised to help him raise money, but he went to the black market to find a prosthetic doctor to upgrade the chip software to a pirated version.

Yue Kaicheng was very focused when watching these plots.

Having never been exposed to cyberpunk themes, he is extremely curious about this worldview.

The glamorous employees in the high-rise buildings, the beggars and homeless people at the bottom of the street who are drunk and take drugs with obsessed expressions.

On these clean and high-tech streets, you can often see people fighting or even pulling out guns over a disagreement.

On the way to school, David passed by a street and saw the beautiful and graceful figure of a silver-haired girl with her back to him on the second floor.

His expression looked like love at first sight.

Although the girl didn't show her face, Yue Kaicheng suddenly became excited.

"Gu Qingyuan? That's definitely right. Is that the heroine Lucy played by Gu Qingyuan?"

Yue Kaicheng, who had checked the cast and crew information on the official website in advance, began to focus at this moment.

After spending several minutes giving the audience a glimpse of Night City from David's perspective.
David came to school.

He looked reluctant to go in, but finally had to walk into the classroom.

The rich second-generation classmates in the class looked down on poor students like him.

Classes can even connect everyone's consciousness through technology, allowing simulated learning in a virtual space.

then
The plot turning point has come.

Because they did not spend money to upgrade the learning software and used pirated software, a virus eventually invaded the classroom system, forcing everyone to miss classes and also burning the expensive equipment in the school.

David was forced to be asked to be a parent, and the family's already difficult financial situation became even more difficult.

When Yue Kaicheng saw this, he felt depressed.

Isn’t this drama a refreshing one?
[I’m sorry.] David said to his mother with a guilty look on his face.

"I didn't ask you to upgrade the genuine software. You saved money, so we have to pay ten times the money now." The mother said angrily.

[We have money in our family, but it’s not salary time yet, so]

"Well, Mom, I'm thinking about something. I can drop out of school and find a job or something!" David said.

The target who was driving was silent, and David couldn't say what was next.

【Then why have I been working so hard? 】

David's mother said this in a trembling voice, with tears in the corners of her eyes, which made Yue Kaicheng's heart tremble.

[You are so smart and talented, so I work hard to make money for you to study at Arasaka Academy. I hope you study hard and one day, you will climb to the top of Arasaka Tower! ]

The top of Arasaka Tower refers to the apex of Night City, where the top brass of the Arasaka Corporation, the rulers of this city, reside.

Here, Yue Kaicheng has not yet realized what a foreshadowing his mother's wish to climb up the Arasaka Tower is!
On the city road, the conversation between David and his mother in the car made Yue Kaicheng very uncomfortable.

There is no pretentious plot and the acting of both actors is very natural.

David knew that his mother's salary could not support his studies, but his mother always forced herself to work hard.

Even though she couldn't even pay the electricity bill, she still felt that her son had the talent.

It’s just that she couldn’t earn so much money to let her son study with peace of mind.

The biggest feature of cyberpunk works is that accidents can happen at any time.

David and his mother are still worried about how the two will compensate the school for the equipment that was damaged by the virus.

on the street.
Two completely crazy gang members, commonly known as "cyberpunks", stood on the left and right, pulled out guns and shot at each other in the street across the car driven by David's mother.

Rockets, submachine guns, pistols, incendiary bombs, and explosives were all used.

The picture is picturesque.

Yue Kaicheng's mouth widened.
Growing up in a country ruled by law like Xia, it was hard for him to imagine why there would be such gang fights in the streets in such an advanced city?
Are the police in this city so terrible?
So this is the cyberpunk worldview.

The first episode of the plot begins here, which is a huge turning point.

David and his mother's car overturned due to a fight between gangs on both sides, and David only suffered some minor injuries.

But his mother was seriously injured and in critical condition.

At this time, the city's trauma team rushed over.

The so-called trauma team refers to the doctors.

However, in Night City, doctors are in the service industry, and since it is a service industry, they have to be paid to do the job.

Don’t spend money upfront to buy a medical package
Just die!
The trauma team used a computer to scan David's mother's face.

[She is not a customer! Don't worry about her. The municipal body truck will be here soon.]

These cold words determined the fate of David's mother.

Although they were able to save David's mother, the poor person would just die and was not worth saving.

David struggled out of the overturned car, and with his injured body, he carried his mother to the black market hospital.

Unable to afford the medical expenses in regular hospitals, one can only try one's luck in black market hospitals.

When Yue Kaicheng saw this, he felt a little disappointed.

What kind of world view is this?

Don't people in this world have any compassion at all?

Would a doctor, faced with a patient who could be saved, just ignore the patient and let him die because the patient did not order a medical package in advance?

In the original animation, in the hospital where David sent his mother for treatment, the doctor's clothes were actually the clothes of a gang organization specializing in organs in the game.

It’s not explicitly stated in the animation, but game players probably understand it.

However, in the Xiaguo TV version, Su Yan did not conceal this information.

All the viewers who have watched it all know it.
The black market doctor pretended to treat David's mother.

In fact, he was helping David's mother with all his heart.

Then she gave David, who was outside the operating room, a notice to raise money, deceiving David that her mother's injury could be treated, but money must be raised as soon as possible.

Yue Kaicheng clenched his fists.

Seeing this, bloodshot eyes appeared in his eyes.

What kind of world is this?
Are all the people in this city like this?

Destroy it!
This kind of city!

This kind of world!

After reading this, Yue Kaicheng finally understood why works in the cyberpunk world are niche.

Anyone who can accept works with this kind of world view must have strong psychological endurance!
David returned home as quickly as possible, ready to see what money he could find at home to save his mother's life.

But because of unpaid bills and rent, the power was cut off at home, and we didn’t even have permission to enter through the electronic door.

Yue Kaicheng took a deep breath.

If he were David, he would probably be driven crazy by this world.

The male protagonist has not yet become hysterical and is already emotionally stable.

David illegally and violently broke into his own home
A prosthetic body was found in the mother's room.

A prosthetic body that her mother had secretly taken from a dead cyberpsychopath using her position of power and hidden away.

So is this why David's mother was able to support him to go to a prestigious school?
Yue Kaicheng immediately understood what David's mother meant by raising money in the previous plot.

As the plot continues to advance, David takes the prosthesis and looks for someone in the city to sell it to in order to raise money for surgery.

But because it was a military prosthesis, no one dared to buy it, or the price offered was too low.

During this process, I met my classmate, the son of a rich second-generation school director.
Because David pirated software and disrupted the class, and because they looked down on poor people like David.

They came to David's house and beat him up with the Kung Fu chip they bought and implanted in his neck. They also insulted David, saying that his mother must be a prostitute to be able to afford his study at Arasaka Academy. Afterwards, they threatened him to drop out of school and stop lowering the level of Arasaka Academy students and bringing shame to the school. Otherwise, they would keep beating him up in the future.

When Yue Kaicheng saw this, he already felt a little stomachache.

Could this male protagonist be any more miserable?

Even though he was unwilling, he wanted to beat up the person who insulted his mother.

But they can use money to buy a Kung Fu martial arts chip implant, so they can't beat the opponent even in a fight.

Kung Fu can be bought with money.

Artistic skills.

Can talent be bought with money?

As long as the relevant chip is implanted, everyone is a genius?

Yue Kaicheng generally understood this point.

In the plot, the worst is yet to come
After going through everything, David came to the black market hospital where his mother was treated.

But he found that his mother was dead.

His mother, who was still worrying about money with him in the morning, now only had less than three pounds of ashes in a jar.

What can David do?
There is nothing he can do.

The money was not raised and the mother died.

David walked dully on the street, and his back, accompanied by the BGM music, hurt the hearts of countless Xia country audiences.

On the way home carrying my mother's ashes.

My mother's cell phone kept receiving text messages reminding her of various unpaid debts.

These contents and shots are full of irony!

The night city is brightly lit at night.

The people in the bar were living a life of luxury and debauchery.

Various high-tech products benefit the rich.

And just today, a teenager damaged equipment in the school just because he wanted to save money, and then his mother and he were involved in an inexplicable gang fight in the car.

The boy initially just wanted to ease the burden on his mother.

Now, all that is left of my mother is ashes in the urn.

Yue Kaicheng looked at the young man's back as he walked alone on the street.

He couldn't help shedding tears
Putting himself in David's shoes, he had only one thought in his mind at this moment.

Destroy this world!

At this moment.
The rich second-generation classmate who beat up David during the day also called to taunt him.

[Your mother died meaninglessly! ]

David's dull expression changed.

He grabbed the military prosthetic body left by his mother.

Since it can't be sold, then don't sell it.

He found the black market prosthetic doctor and pointed at it, his tone becoming firm and heavy.
【Implant it into my body! 】

A burst of passionate and rhythmic music sounded.

The ending theme song of the first episode of Cyberpunk sounded.

Be it Yue Kaicheng or all the viewers in front of the TV, their inner anger has been aroused at this moment.

Yes, that's right.
How can I let my mother’s revenge go just like that?

That black-hearted hospital must be taken down.

And that rich second-generation classmate, his mother just died, and you called to mock him like this?
Yue Kaicheng is usually a relatively elegant person, but at this moment, after putting himself in the shoes of David in the play, he had no other thoughts.

There is no reason in this world.

The world is crazy.

Then the protagonist will go crazy too.

The plot of the first episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker is mainly about laying the groundwork and shaping the protagonist.

Even the heroine Lucy didn't make her full appearance.

The first episode was very frustrating and depressing to watch.

If it weren't for the plot twist at the end, when David chose to have the military prosthesis implanted in his own body by the prosthetics doctor, the first episode would have been pure abuse of the protagonist.

Now, most of the viewers who have watched the first episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker have a feeling of anticipation in their hearts.

I want to see the scene in the second episode where the male protagonist goes completely crazy.
