Cyberpunk: From Dogville to Legend

Chapter 18 Madam, you don’t want to either

Chapter 18 Madam, you didn't want this either...

Lin Yue tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, showing great patience.

It's 1:05 a.m., and it seems Mr. Hans's wife really enjoys this club.

Lin Yue may have found the answer to how he was suddenly taken down by that bodyguard that afternoon.

[Physical]: 10
【Reaction】：8
【Technical capability】: 4
[Intelligence]: 10
【Calmness】：7
The 10 points in Intelligence should be from meeting V, and the rest should be from the battle with Mann's squad.

At that time, I was so focused on causing trouble for Hans that I didn't pay any attention to these things.

However, according to Lin Yue's observation, these points seem to exist independently of the prosthetic body. After studying them, Lin Yue felt that power was the most intuitive indicator.

Old Wei had already given his prosthetic body a major overhaul, and with the added improvements to his physique and composure, the most noticeable result was increased strength.

Thinking about it this way, the reason I went to find Mann with a pistol in hand was probably not because my prosthetic body was strong, but because I was strong enough. Otherwise, I would have been thrown against the wall and smashed into a daze by Mann.

Secondly, the prosthetic body can withstand some of the damage from bullets, and its own tolerance is also high.

If it weren't for these attribute values, I might have bled to death in the wasteland of Dogtown.

But what other uses does it have?
Lin Yue thought about it according to the logic set in the game world. Points are a direct reflection of external attributes, but the lack of a skill tree is the biggest problem.

Some skills that are compatible with cybernetic bodies are very powerful, but Lin Yue currently has no clue how to unlock them.

Smoking is not a good habit.

Lin Yue doesn't smoke, but the previous owner of this body seemed to really enjoy smoking, so Lin Yue took a puff to disguise himself.

Unexpectedly, this is the second one.

"Bang bang bang!"

Suddenly, a knocking sound came from outside the car window. Lin Yue was startled and quickly stubbed out his cigarette in his hand, the slight stinging pain causing him to twitch his lips.

“Uh, madam.”

After getting out of the car, Lin Yue helped the woman who was staggering. He kept his head down, and the woman, after being helped into the back seat by Lin Yue, lay down with her head in her hands and her eyes closed.

He got into the car and started it. As soon as he left the backyard, he noticed three cars following behind him, one of which even accelerated and pulled up to the front.

Discovered?

"Ignore them, you're new here, you...you drive! Drive outside of this city!"

Emma was drunk and her speech was slurred and unintelligible.

Lin Yue could only drive slowly toward Dogtown with his heart pounding. It seemed that all of them were Mr. Hans's men. Lin Yue was sandwiched between three cars and couldn't move.

Emma also noticed Lin Yue, who was constantly observing the rearview mirror and the all-around camera on the car.

"Damn champagne, you suddenly look thinner."

Lin Yue clenched his teeth. Couldn't this damn woman fall asleep? She kept nagging and whining, so he could only remain silent.

However, Emma didn't seem to mind not replying. Instead, she put her hands on the back of the driver's seat and poked her head out from the middle. Lin Yue felt the smell of alcohol and perfume next to him, and his heart jumped into his throat.

"Huh? Mewtwo's aftereffects are so strong, Chérie, tu es belle (Darling, you are beautiful)."

As soon as she finished speaking, Emma rubbed her temples and sat back down.

Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief. His original plan was to take the woman to a secluded place and get her to reveal the key to the autopilot so that he could sneak into the car and enter Dog Town together.

But the problem now is that there are also bodyguards accompanying the vehicle.

This makes things very difficult.

"Roll down the window and drive to the right."

Lin Yue didn't quite understand Emma's idea. Turning right seemed to be heading towards the municipal center, but Dogtown wasn't there.

"go to beach."

she said again.

Lin Yue decided to ignore the drunk man's words and continue driving in the direction of the first car, because if he deviated from the direction now, the other cars would notice and follow, and the plan to enter Dogtown would be ruined.

"You are the dumbest driver I have ever met."

Emma's eyes lit up, as if she were on a phone call.

"Tell your men to get the hell away from me, Wade Blick!"

Mr. Hanz's voice came through the car's loudspeaker, "Please continue driving to Dogtown, don't listen to her."

"Then I'll drive."

As she spoke, Emma placed her hand on the steering wheel, and the car jerked violently.

"Madam, you—"

"Get your people out of here right now!"

There was silence on the other end of the phone. Lin Yue gritted his teeth, stepped on the gas, and sped ahead of the first car. He then swerved sharply, and the car sped toward another intersection.

Meanwhile, Lin Yue bought a malicious program from a nearby middleman and took over the vehicle.

With Lin Yue in control of the car, as long as no hacker noticed, he could silently kidnap Emma and drive into Dogtown. The other three cars braked simultaneously, watching Emma's car head towards the road in front of the company square. The cars behind kept honking their horns to urge them on. Finally, the Hanz people seemed to give in and slowly started up, following in the direction of Lin Yue's car.

It must have been Hans who asked to continue following, just not too closely.

"Wait! Who are you?"

With her eyes still blurry from drinking, Emma finally realized that Lin Yue was not her bodyguard.

"HI~"

Lin Yue greeted her, and the woman started grabbing forward like a madwoman.

He freed one hand to firmly restrain the woman's hands, and without letting up on the accelerator, sped towards the road in front of the company square.

When the woman realized her hands were not working properly, she started kicking Lin Yue's chair with her high heels.

"Are you the man?"

Emma was half-sober, and her current situation couldn't be clearer.

Lin Yue's gaze swept across the city's streets, both familiar and strange. Familiar because of the landmark buildings, strange because of the long roads and the vastness of the city.

That said, his driving skills are indeed quite good.

The car drove towards the coastal port of Arasaka Company. Time passed by, and Lin Yue drove for quite a while before making sure no one was following. Then he slammed on the brakes and stopped the car on a dark road.

Lin Yue opened the car door and tugged at his tie. It was very uncomfortable to wear, and the collar of his suit jacket had already been crumpled by Emma's grip.

Lin Yue pulled open the car door and roughly dragged the woman out. Her high heels fell off, and her fair feet stepped onto the cold, wet ground of the Night City beach.

Emma cried out softly in pain as she was gripped, her prosthetic body turning as she attempted to resist.

Lin Yue was punched hard, his head turned to the side, and then he turned his head back with a cold look in his eyes.

Lin Yue, staring at her expressionlessly, seemed even more cruel and ruthless to Emma.

She regretted not having equipped herself with something more aggressive; the professional mercenary in front of her seemed to be enraged by the punch.

Corporate executives and powerful individuals typically possess decent cybernetic bodies, but due to their fear of cyberpsychosis, they can only opt for high-performance, highly compatible ones. However, such cybernetic bodies are often insufficient against professional mercenaries; they are merely made of solid materials and are aesthetically pleasing.

Lin Yue felt a pistol, smaller than his palm, from the side of her skirt. Emma's hand felt like it was about to break, and she said with a hint of pleading:

"Money, I have it."

"No, madam, I don't want money."

After confirming that the woman had no other weapons, Lin Yue lifted her up and asked her with a smile, "Do you know who I am?"

Emma shook her head.

"Your good husband sold me out of Dogtown. Tell me, how should this be handled?"

Emma's eyes were filled with despair.

It seems like things have gotten really out of hand this time.

"It's you?! Hanz said...you...what are you going to do?"

Lin Yue shrugged. "Is it that hard to understand?"

Emma's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. Damn it, why did she always fantasize about dangerous things? Now it's really come true—

"Let me go!"

She felt she could still put up a fight, but if she couldn't... well, we'll see.
