Wow, amazing, do you know a ray of spiritual light shot out from the crown of your head? (4k)

"Let's go." Chu Ke patted David on the shoulder and walked out with Jackie and V.

The Scavenger, whose legs had gone weak, squirmed into the corner, staring in terror at David, who stood before him, at a loss. "Don't... don't kill me!"

His hands groped around, grabbing a bloodstained scalpel from the floor.

The operating room door slowly closed.

Chu Ke and the others sat down on the stools outside the door, waiting quietly.

"Are you sure you want him to walk this path?" Jackie broke the silence. "He's wearing a school uniform from a company dog school, isn't he?"

Jackie certainly hated company dogs, but it had been proven that there were people like his good brother V among them, and the young man also had good character. If nothing unexpected happened, he could live a better life in Arasaka's company if he continued quietly like this.

"He was expelled from Arasaka Academy, and he has some unique talents." V heard a few gunshots from the operating room and explained with a smile, "His tolerance for cybernetics is extremely high. If this continues, Arasaka will catch him and experiment on him sooner or later, so it's better to leave early."

"Sigh, damn things." Jackie nodded, not saying anything more.

The operating room door slowly opened, and David walked out, clutching his blood-covered left arm, taking a deep breath as he handed the gun back to Chu Ke.

At this moment, he no longer had the melancholy he had before, and a touch of determination shone in his eyes.

"Chu Ge, I want to join you."

In Night City, there is a profession called Cyberpunk, also known as Edgerunners, mainly mercenaries in the cyberpunk world, taking tasks from middlemen and earning commissions and fame. Becoming a Cyberpunk is the easiest and most difficult way to become a legend in Night City.

Although they hadn't spent much time together, David had already seen that the three people in front of him were the legendary Cyberpunks.

He had already been expelled from Arasaka Academy, and even if he wanted to rejoin, he would need a lot of money to grease the wheels. This was not something his family could afford, and besides, his mother was already ill in bed, and the only source of income for the family had been cut off.

Only by becoming an Edgerunner, a member of the Cyberpunks, could he support this family again.

Although his mother would definitely not agree, David felt that this was the only way now.

"Sigh, I knew it." Jackie was a little helpless, as if he saw himself in the past.

"We'll talk about joining later, let's send your mother to the hospital first."

"Okay."

"What do you think, send her to Old Vic?"

"Well, mainly some internal organ ruptures, a broken rib and thigh, but fortunately the doctor gave her emergency treatment, so her life was saved. After that, she'll be hospitalized until she wakes up. Oh, if you don't plan to replace her with cybernetic organs, she won't be able to do high-intensity labor in the future."

Victor took off his mechanical glasses and pulled his hand out of the operating table, glancing at the anxious young man fidgeting not far away.

It seemed that V and Jackie had committed the sin of being Mother Theresa again, Victor glanced sideways at V.

"I know you're doing a good thing, but you still have to pay me back for what you owe me, not a penny less."

"Hehe, I know, I'll go fight to make money." V scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

He still owed Old Vic a lot of money, after all, Reality isn't a game, there aren't so many bugs for you to exploit.

After fighting for a few days, when your reputation comes out, no one wants to come up and give you money, and the money becomes less.

"You're not doing so well, huh, V?" Chu Ke joked.

"Hey, I'm just an ordinary person, at most I have a higher tolerance for cyberware, but I need money to install cyberware, and now it's the primitive accumulation stage of capital." V said helplessly.

"Who is this?" Victor had noticed the young man from the beginning. With his years of experience, he could tell at a glance that the young man in front of him had not installed any cyberware at all.

That skin, so good that it didn't seem to belong to this era, was completely natural. Most importantly, he hadn't even installed cybernetic eyes or a brain-computer interface.

You should know that in this era, cybernetic eyes and brain-computer interfaces are equivalent to mobile phones and the internet in the old era, and even more important than mobile phone networks were back then. Without these, it is difficult to move an inch in this city.

"Chu Ke, a good brother, he can be regarded as a legend." V thought for a while, a Beyond the Standard level big shot being a legend was a sure thing.

"Oh?" Victor was a little surprised. He had never heard of a legend with this name in all these years, but he wouldn't delve into it.

"Hello, Boxing Champion Victor, I've heard so much about you." Chu Ke greeted him.

"Old Vic was a boxing champion?" Jackie was stunned and looked at V, who was not surprised at all.

How come you all know, and I'm the only outsider?

"Hahaha, that's all in the past." Victor didn't expect the other party to recognize him.

"Let's go, Old Vic, I wish you a prosperous business." Seeing that David's mother's condition had stabilized, V left with the others.

Walking out of the clinic, V handed a bill to David.

David took the bill, his eyes widening: "Ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, forty thousand eddies!?"

"This isn't one of those black clinics that secretly dig out your kidneys. This price is already Old Vic's favor price, so you should be happy." V complained to David, he had long seen that Old Vic was tough-talking but soft-hearted, and gave the lowest price.

"Y-yes." David gripped the bill tightly, looked up at V seriously and said, "I will work hard to earn money!"

"OK, then tomorrow at this time, come here, there just happens to be a small mission to warm up." V glanced at the task list, there was a data theft mission, which was relatively simple.

"Oh brother, I might not be able to come." Just then, Jackie said with a constipated expression: "The Valentinos Gang littlebrat caused some trouble in my mom's shop with other people, I might have to go and deal with it."

"It's okay, it's a small mission." V waved his hand, signaling him to go quickly.

After Jackie left, V looked at Chu Ke: "Chu Ge, what do you say, are you staying at my place tonight?"

"Whatever, we'll see." Just then, Chu Ke, who hadn't spoken before, waved to David, who was also preparing to leave.

"Hey, don't go."

"Ah?" David turned around in a daze: "What's wrong, Brother Chu?"

Chu Ke took three steps and made two steps to walk in front of David, carefully looked him up and down, giving David goosebumps all over his body.

Well, very good, David's modification level is still very low now, only with cybernetic eyes and a brain-computer interface, unlike the muscular man who was modified into a mechanical body in the later stages of the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners plot.

"Wow, amazing, amazing." Chu Ke suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed it on David's forehead: "Do you know that you have a ray of light spraying out from your crown?"

"Huh?" David was even more confused.

But V, who was on the side, heard what Chu Ke was playing, lowered his head and began to hold back his laughter, thought about it and took out a bottle of small Coca-Cola from his backpack and began to drink it.

"At a young age, you have a body of horizontally trained muscles and bones, simply a martial arts genius that is rare in a century!" Chu Ke continued: "If one day you open up the Conception and Governor Vessels, then you won't be a Flying Dragon in the Sky!"

Although David didn't understand what a martial arts genius was or what horizontal training was, he understood a little bit from Chu Ke's actions and tone.

Brother Chu should be praising me for being strong? And something about being rare in a century, David was so happy to hear it.

At that age, a teenager is most likely to think of himself as the most special one.

"Thank you? Thank you, Chu Ge."

"As the saying goes, 'If I don't go to hell, who will?'" Chu Ke continued, "The task of punishing evil, promoting good, and maintaining world peace is entrusted to you!"

With that, Chu Ke pulled out a paper book. On its yellowed pages were several large Chinese characters written with a brush: "Buddha's Palm."

"This Buddha's Palm manual is priceless. I see that you are destined for it, so I'll take ten credits to impart it to you."

Hearing this, David's mouth twitched wildly. Although he didn't understand what Buddha's Palm was, he knew that this was a roadside scam, the kind used to trick children.

Fortunately, it wasn't expensive, only ten credits, which David could afford. He decided to play along with his savior.

David paid the money and obediently accepted the paper book, a rarity in this era.

V was about to burst with laughter, making stifled "ku ku ku" sounds.

He didn't expect David to be so honest and actually pay.

"You don't believe me?" Chu Ke looked at the two of them.

"Uh, I believe you," David, being an honest kid, decided to go along with Chu Ge.

"I don't have any cybernetic implants, you all know that, right?" Chu Ke asked.

Although he didn't know why he brought it up, David nodded honestly. He had indeed heard from V and the others that the person in front of him was a "Flesh Ascension" type.

At this moment, V couldn't laugh anymore; he sensed something.

Chu Ke smiled slightly, looked up at the abandoned car shell not far away, and pushed out a palm.

"Flying Dragon in the Sky!"

"Roar!" Instantly, a golden flame aura burst out from Chu Ke's body, condensing into a dragon's head, flying towards the abandoned car shell following his palm.

"Bang!!!"

Although it was an abandoned car shell, it was still made of high-tech alloy materials produced in the 2077 era, extremely hard. But at this moment, it was flattened like a paper shell under the golden dragon's head.

"Pfft!!!" V spat out a mouthful of cola.

He could understand Chu Ke knowing martial arts; after all, he was a Beyond the Standard big shot, so nothing he did would surprise him.

The key was: "Aren't you selling Buddha's Palm!? Flying Dragon in the Sky is Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, okay!"

"Hey~" Chu Ke waved his hand, "Why care so much? Aren't they all from Buddhism? They're all about the same."

"Bullshit, Buddha's Palm was created by Buddha, and Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms was created by the mortal Xuan Ku, they're not the same, okay?" In his previous life, V was a hardcore martial arts fan.

This was like someone pointing at Kamen Rider and saying it was a rip-off of Armor Hero.

As the two argued, David on the side was dumbfounded.

He stared blankly at the flattened car shell in the distance, then turned to look at Chu Ke, whose figure was quite thin compared to strong men like Jackie, and rubbed his eyes.

Walking to the car shell, he saw a huge five-finger palm print deeply embedded in the concrete, with the car shell in the very center as thin as paper.

His seventeen-year-old worldview shattered at this moment.

David turned his head sharply to look at Chu Ke: "Chu Ge, is this true?!"

"Of course it's true? Would I sell you a lemon?"

David excitedly took out the secret manual that he had casually stuffed into his pants pocket, as if he had found a treasure: "I understand, I will definitely not let Chu Ge down!"

Such a secret manual is definitely priceless, but Chu Ge only sold it to him for ten yuan.

This is a great kindness!

David made up his mind that he would never let Chu Ge down no matter what! Chu Ke casually waved his hand: "It's okay, anyway, go back tonight and familiarize yourself with the secret manual, search the Internet for related terms, get a general understanding, but don't practice it yet."

"Practicing without my guidance will be counterproductive, and you may suffer serious injuries if you are not careful."

"Yes!" David was also frightened, but he still couldn't extinguish his current enthusiasm.

Is this Kung Fu!

"Come earlier tomorrow morning, I'll take you to practice first, and then we'll go on a mission." Chu Ke instructed: "I'll send you the address then."

"Okay! Chu Ge, V, goodbye!"

Watching David hop away, skillfully navigating the obstacles of the streets and alleys, V looked around and, finding no one, knelt down directly.

"Bang!"

V hugged Chu Ke's thigh, and tears began to flow from the cybernetic eye.

"V has been drifting for half his life, only regretting not meeting a wise lord. If you don't abandon me, I am willing to become your adopted son!"

"Okay, okay, get up." Chu Ke kicked V, so that his snot wouldn't rub on his leg: "Just don't stab me with a halberd in the future."

V stood up with a face full of surprise: "Does that mean I can learn too?!"

Chu Ke looked V up and down, and shook his head: "No, you have too much cybernetic modification."

V now not only had mantis blades implanted in both arms, but also had reinforced tendons installed on his legs. The most important thing was that his heart and lungs had also been replaced with mechanical ones.

Flesh Ascension is no longer suitable for him.

"Ah!" V's exquisite eyes wrinkled, and his small face drooped: "I knew I wouldn't have installed them."

"Tsk, get away from me, you transvestite." Chu Ke sucked in a breath of cold air, he still preferred women like Lucy.

"But it's not like there's no way, it just requires collecting data, wait for it."

"Really!? V has been drifting for half his life..."

"Get out!"

Chu Ke didn't lie. Although he could use the Fundamental Forces to forcibly prop up David and V, it was never perfect.

His main body collected countless human body knowledge from the Internet, and after innovating the concepts of "secret martial arts", "martial arts", and "Kung Fu" from several worlds including Dragon Blood, Cyberpunk, Ghoul, and My World, he created a "basic martial art" suitable for various worlds with a Fundamental Force as a "primer", which is the one in David's hand.

After that, if enough cybernetic data is collected, it may not be impossible to create "Cyber Martial Arts" that can be practiced by cybernetically modified people like V and Jackie.

The specifics will have to wait until David's practice tomorrow.

Oh my god, it's still a bit difficult to write 4k on one sheet, should I split it into two 2k sheets later?
