Maine's Crew

David and V were once again stuffed into the small world by Maine's Crew to practice, but this time Chu Ke would periodically refresh monsters in the world, such as Deadpool or runaway Ghouls, to improve their practical experience.

With nothing to do, Chu Ke began to wander around, and saw a lot of unique scenery in this world.

The light pollution of neon lights that never stops is weaker during the day. Different races of people in various costumes are constantly flowing on the street, and a large number of prosthetic body interfaces can be seen from the exposed skin.

A beggar on the roadside fell at the sewer entrance, playing with a Braindance he didn't know where he stole from, and the leaf pipe in his mouth kept emitting smoke. Even some sparks fell on his skin without waking him up.

Walking along, street graffiti of the Tiger Hooks began to appear on the walls on the side of the street, and Chu Ke understood that he had probably wandered near Little Chinatown in Watson District.

Although this is not the territory of the Asian gang Tiger Claws Gang, they will come here from time to time to have fun. Most of its members are of Japanese descent, and you can often see a group of punks with fluorescent tattoos and carrying Japanese swords wandering here.

Chu Ke wandered around Little Chinatown and saw some familiar store names, but after taking two bites, he would find that his whole body was full of technology and harsh ingredients.

A mouthful of compound flavor, I don't know how the people here can eat so deliciously.

It can also be regarded as a world-characteristic delicacy, but Chu Ke can't appreciate it anyway.

With a light snap of his fingers, the building in front of him suddenly seemed to come to life and separated to both sides, and a small, low-rise shop appeared in the middle.

But even though such an unscientific thing happened, the people around seemed to not see it, and continued to do their own things as usual with normal expressions.

Chu Ke conjured up a plaque and a writing brush out of thin air, wrote a few large characters with a flourish, hung them above the store, and clapped his hands.

[Sha County Snacks]

"That's right." Chu Ke nodded in satisfaction, changed into a chef's uniform and walked in.

How can a snack street with Chinese elements not have Sha County Snacks?

It's as disgusting as not bringing paper when you shit.

Fortunately, Chu Ke made up for this shortcoming.

It is worth mentioning that the entrance to the famous Afterlife Bar is behind the building that Chu Ke just moved away.

"Yo~ Boss Chu, long time no see!" A strong man wearing sunglasses and a security uniform walked in familiarly and sat down at the dining table: "Has the ingredients finally arrived?"

"Yes, the store can be reopened." Chu Ke replied with a smile.

At the same time that Chu Ke created the store, he also modified the memories of the people around him.

His current identity is the owner of a Chinese restaurant. Because of the fair prices and delicious dishes, many people like to come here.

Not long ago, the business was forced to be cancelled due to the interruption of the source of ingredients, and now it has just reopened.

"Then I have to call the brothers to come and support you." The strong man said happily, speaking in a strange Chinese accent: "Come a 'Yangzhou Fried Rice'. Is that what it's called?"

"Your accent is getting more and more standard." Chu Ke returned to the back kitchen and directly brought out a plate of steaming and fragrant fried rice: "You are the first one since the reopening, I won't charge you."

In fact, if he hadn't read his mind, Chu Ke wouldn't even know the strong man's name.

"Thanks, Boss Chu!"

"Wow ha~" The strong man stuffed a mouthful of fried rice into his mouth and made a satisfied sound.

Before long, the people who were called by the strong man in the chat channel also came one after another. They greeted Chu Ke warmly, and some of them even had gang tattoos.

After thinking about it, Chu Ke released David and V. Three hours had passed since the two of them went in, which meant they had cultivated for a total of three hundred days. A year's worth of work was enough to lay a foundation.

"Wow, where is this?" David was a little surprised. Wasn't he just outside that Ripperdoc's place?

V, on the other hand, wasn't surprised at all. Chu Ke becoming Arasaka's CEO next second would be considered him holding back.

"Just opened this restaurant, you guys should take a break too. Help me deliver food," Chu Ke said, pulling out a rattan chair from who knows where and sitting down, pointing to the dishes in the kitchen.

"Oh, okay," David, the honest kid, didn't ask much, picked up the dishes, and started walking out.

"What a capitalist," V muttered, also picking up a food tray and starting to deliver.

"This is the restaurant you said you'd treat us to?" Just then, a voice came from the doorway.

"Hahaha, try it, the food here has had me missing it for a long time."

David, who was delivering food, saw a black burly man with sunglasses walk in, followed by a little loli with gray-green skin, hands in pockets, with a cocky expression.

After them was a perverted man with extra-long cybernetic arms, and finally a strong woman with yellow-green short hair.

David looked at them and blinked.

These people should be like V, a cyberpunk.

He wondered if he could beat them in his current state.

After a year of training, David was quite confident in his current strength.

Although he could only use the Sandevistan Technique at the "Initial Proficiency" stage, not as "Proficient" as V, he could still put up a fight against the average Deadpool with the Invincible Cat Paw.

"Huh?" Rebecca, wearing baggy clothes, saw the boy staring at her and gave him a disdainful look, flipping David off: "What are you looking at?"

"Wow, she's got her eyes on you, Rebecca." Rebecca's brother, Pilar, poked his head out from behind her, saying cheekily, "There are a lot of lolicon these days."

"Get lost!" Rebecca punched him down and sat next to Dorio.

"You're here?" Chu Ke walked out of the kitchen and came to Mann: "Where are Lucy and Kiwi? Why didn't they come?"

In Chu Ke's setting, he knew Mann, but his teammates didn't know him.

"They went on a data theft mission together. It's not dangerous, so we let them earn some extra money," Mann explained.

"How's business lately?"

"Hey, don't even mention it." Mann was annoyed when it came to money: "The cyberware I ordered from someone ran off with the money, cheated me out of a lot."

"Oh?" Seeing Mann finally bring up the topic, Chu Ke smiled: "Who is it? So bold."

Running off with money is common in Night City, but there should only be one person who would dare to run off with Mann's money.

"An old friend, owed her some favors, surname is Martinez." Mann still didn't say Gloria's full name, considering their past relationship.

"Huh?" David, on the other hand, was stunned: "What's the surname?"

"Hey, who said you could talk here?" Rebecca, who had been annoyed with him for a long time, glared and cursed.

"He's an employee at my little shop, a distant relative. His surname is also Martinez," Chu Ke began to explain.

"Ah? So the one who ran off with the money has some connection with the boss?" Mann looked at Chu Ke in surprise.

"Not sure yet, what's her full name?"

Mann hesitated for a moment, but after all, the cyberware he had ordered was not a small amount, so he said, "Her full name is Gloria Martinez."

"Huh!? Mom?" David looked dumbfounded. How could his mom be involved with cyberpunk people?
