There's a big problem with dreams in this world.

"And also..."

Taking a deep breath, Victor said gratefully, "Thank you for saving Royes' life that night. I can't imagine how painful it would be if I lost him."

"It's just going with the flow, no need to be so polite," Lu Qing said to Victor.

Royes is Victor's son, the same guard who stopped Lu Qing and was subsequently rescued from the werewolves.

"Regardless, the fact remains that you saved Royes. Believe me, no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, I, Victor, will definitely help you!" Victor said solemnly.

P.S.: I'm experiencing some writer's block, so my typing speed has slowed down considerably...

Chapter 139: Cyberbody Mania

Is this the place?

Lu Qing raised her head and looked at the tall building in front of her.

This is a fairly standard-looking building. The reason I say that is because there are no strange billboards on this building.

Of course, there are still neon lights, but the color isn't as flashy pink.

This is precisely why Lu Qing chose this building. When she was searching for rentable rooms on her personal terminal, she carefully selected a room in this building after careful screening.

After walking around the building for a while, Lu Qing finally decided to rent it.

The next moment, eight thousand yuan disappeared from her credit card, and the rental period was two months.

This area is no longer considered the edge of the city. While it doesn't quite qualify as the middle ground, it has certainly moved away from the low-rise houses where the poor live.

There was no trash, no dark and dirty alleys, and certainly no strange corpses. In short, Lu Qing was quite satisfied with the environment after inspecting the place.

Pulling her suitcase, Lu Qing arrived at the elevator and selected her floor, the 22nd floor.

Her suitcase was a gift from Victor. The wolf king's pelt was inside, along with many personal items and a change of clothes.

These were all prepared for her by someone arranged by Victor.

After all, living in the City of Night, Lu Qing's clothes would be a bit too little.

After all, she only had one set of clothes, and those clothes were already covered in dust from walking in the desert, not to mention that they were stained with blood after killing the werewolf.

So the day before entering the Night City, the dress was thrown into the washing machine.

Lu Qing is currently wearing another set of clothes that were given to her by someone in the convoy.

He wore a black sweater over a blue denim jacket, and blue shorts.

If you ignore the cloak she's wearing, Lu Qing now looks almost exactly like an NPC from Night City.

The reason it is said to be "almost" is because Lu Qing, in terms of both temperament and appearance, does not seem to be a resident of this world.

When the residents here first see Lu Qing, they probably think of those old photos displayed online or in memorial halls.

Viktor also specifically asked Lu Qing if she was a person from the old era who had just awakened from the hibernation pod.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Qing "admitted" it, since it could explain many of the illogical things about her.

Anyway, there's no harm in it.

Pulling up her hood, Lu Qing stepped into the elevator and ascended to the 22nd floor.

There was no one else in the elevator; it was very quiet.

"Ding!"

The sudden sound inside the elevator pulled Lu Qing back to her senses. She stepped out of the elevator and, after looking around, found the room she had rented on this floor.

After entering the twelve-digit password given by the landlord after payment at the door, Lu Qing entered the house.

"Clap."

As soon as the door opened, all the lights in the room turned on automatically. Lu Qing closed the door behind her and began to observe the environment inside the room.

The walls are white and smooth, the table is square, the floor is matte with a carpet, and there are some blue linear lights of unknown meaning, which seem to be embedded in the wall as if they are flowing.

A huge fan hung from the ceiling, making Lu Qing wonder about the level of technology in this world.

Is it because there is no air conditioning, or is it simply because air conditioning consumes too much electricity?

Could you please take apart these LEDs that you don't even know what they're for?

Entering the room, Lu Qing put her suitcase away and then carefully walked around the room.

The living room of the house was not furnished with much, except for a small metal table and a sofa.

To the left of the living room is the bathroom, where you can use the toilet and take a shower.

In front of the restroom entrance, there was a display screen, and next to it was a shelf containing all sorts of game cartridges.

Lu Qing even saw a game controller, which almost made her sit down and try playing a couple of games.

"I'll try it again after I finish my business." Lu Qing said softly as she put the controller down.

On the wall next to the display screen and the metal rack where the games are placed, there is a long strip of glass windows. Looking out from here, you can see the shopping street below.

The streets are lined with all kinds of shops, and a large number of pedestrians stroll here, go into the shops, or come out of the shops.

At the end of this wall is the bedroom.

Calling it a bedroom is an understatement; it's more accurate to say it's just a bed.

A double bed, set into the floor, has white pillows and a soft blue quilt.

Lu Qing, who hadn't slept in such a comfortable environment in a long time, almost became so engrossed in the bed that she didn't want to get up.

In short, that's pretty much it.

After roughly checking the layout of the room, Lu Qing put everything in her suitcase away and left her room.

When I got downstairs, I looked around and just then a taxi drove up in my direction.

Upon seeing this, Lu Qing quickly waved, causing the taxi to stop in front of her.

After opening the back door and getting in, Lu Qing said, "24th Street, District C, Pakistani armed forces."

"12 yuan, miss, are you going to buy a weapon?" the middle-aged man in the driver's seat said.

"Yes, after all, it's for self-defense," Lu Qing replied.

She doesn't really mind talking while riding in the car, and if the driver wants to chat, then chatting is no problem.

"For self-defense, that's really important. Those guys down there are getting increasingly arrogant lately; quite a few of us in this line of work have been robbed," the driver said to Lu Qing as he skillfully drove.

“What good would it do to rob us? We don’t have much money on us. I’ve heard that many people don’t want to pay, so they just rob us as a side effect.”

"If you're lucky, you'll only get robbed of your money. If you're unlucky, you'll not only get injured, but if your car is damaged, you'll also have to compensate the company."

"It's absolutely terrible."

"Is no one in charge?" Lu Qing asked curiously.

"How could anyone possibly care?" the driver complained, hearing Lu Qing's words.

"Anyway, those who rob taxis aren't really tough guys, and they wouldn't dare to kill anyone. Stealing money doesn't cause the company much loss, but if they damage the car, the company can still get compensation from the renter."

“They make money from this, so why would they care? And the police will never respond to incidents that don’t involve human lives or company capital.”

Lu Qing listened quietly to the taxi driver's words, and her understanding of the distorted nature of this world became even more profound.

Just as she was quietly listening to the taxi driver's complaints, a commotion suddenly broke out on the street in the distance.

Loud gunshots rang out from the street. After seeing what was happening in the distance, the driver became tense and whispered:

"He's a lunatic with prosthetic body mania."

Chapter 140: The Workshop

PS: This chapter has been blocked. The version you see is the modified version. I apologize to readers who encounter reading problems.

"What is prosthetic body mania?" Lu Qing asked, looking at what was happening in front of her.

On the street, a group of people were frantically firing at everything around them, blowing up pedestrians and vehicles with their weapons.

The driver heard Lu Qing's

Chapter 141: M500

"A pistol, durable, resistant to the slashing of metal swords and blades, and with a large caliber..."

Bucky quickly jotted down Lu Qing's request on the paper, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Lu Qing stood quietly to the side, showing no intention of disturbing the other party.

There must be a reason for choosing a handgun.

That is, handguns are very easy to carry, and they are indeed relatively easy for beginners to use, and they also have a certain degree of concealment.

After all, you can't expect Lu Qing to be carrying a rifle or sniper rifle on her back.

Putting aside the difficulty of practice and maintenance, carrying such a large weapon will inevitably affect one's mobility to some extent.

"Do you have any special prosthetics installed?" Just then, Bucky, who was deep in thought, suddenly looked up and asked.

"Uh, no," Lu Qing replied.

"Um......."

After thinking for a moment, Baji stood up, rummaged through the counter next to him, and took out a square metal object.

"Put your hand in front of this little hole," Bucky said, pointing to the small hole protruding from the back of the square metal object.

Lu Qing didn't understand what the other person was going to do for a moment, but silently stretched out her hand and placed it in front of the small hole.

A pale blue ray of light shone through the small hole, enveloping Lu Qing's entire palm.

Bucky looked at the data on the display screen and asked without looking up, "How strong are you?"

"I don't know, but she's definitely stronger than an ordinary person," Lu Qing said after thinking for a moment.
