Therefore, Su Xiao came to Lucy, hoping that Lucy could help remove this backdoor.

"This is simple. Give me half a day and I should be able to do it." Lucy put Sandevistan on his arm like a coat. "But after the back door is cleared, what do you plan to do with this prosthetic body? Have you sold it?"

Su Xiao nodded noncommittally.

Although this "Sandevistan" is just an experimental product and not a stable model on the market, "Sandevistan" is still "Sandevistan" after all.

There will still be Cyber Mercenary willing to pay for it.

After all, Su Xiao spent 200,000 to buy this thing from David. He couldn't just throw it away in the warehouse to gather dust.

Money is not wasted like this.

He removed the backdoor on the prosthetic body, so no matter which company produced the "Sandevistan", it would be impossible to recover the prosthetic body.

This way he doesn't cheat others.

Arasaka Academy, Principal's Office.

The short principal's golden skin on the fingers of his hands shined brightly under the neon lights shining in from outside the office.

"Mr. Martinez, you are really embarrassing me."

David is sitting opposite the principal.

There are only two of them in the office.

David said sincerely, "I know, principal, so I brought the compensation. Please give me another chance."

"I don't think this is a matter of money. Although it does require a lot of money to repair the college system, Mr. Martinez, the college has given you a few days, but you missed this deadline, so the college has made the decision to expel you."

"That's because my mother and I got into a car accident on the way back that day and stayed in the hospital for several days, so we didn't receive any text messages from the college."

"Is that so? That's a shame."

Although the principal sent greetings out of courtesy, there was no real regret on his face.

"Well, although I personally sympathize with your experience, the college has made a decision and cannot change it."

David couldn't help but said, "Aren't you the principal? Isn't it your decision to expel or not to expel someone?"

The principal said slowly.

"Mr. Martinez, I need to point out that expelling a student is not a dictatorship on my part, but a unanimous decision made by the school board after discussion."

"And, if I remember correctly, Mr. Martinez, don't you seem to be out of place in your class? You don't have many friends in the academy, do you?"

David frowned.

Logically speaking, as the principal of a school, you will not pay special attention to any one person in the college.

Especially a mule and horse kneeling pawn like him who was born into a family of cows and horses.

But the principal noticed that he was alone in the class and paid special attention to him.

This is definitely not a good thing.

"Does this have anything to do with the topic we are talking about now?"

"Of course it does matter. You can't fit in anyway. It's better to change the environment. It might be more beneficial to your learning and growth. What do you think?"

The principal smiled and refused David's request without refusal.

Chapter 269: Cherish the opportunity to show off now (3K)

V stood in the corridor outside the principal's office, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.

The principal's office is located in the core area of the faculty and staff area.

Therefore, many teachers pass by here.

Every male teacher who walked through this corridor was not attracted by V's beauty, while the female teachers were jealous of V's angelic face and devilish figure.

V, on the other hand, paid no attention to their gazes. Only when the male teacher came forward to strike up a conversation, would he scare them away with his cold gaze.

After a long period of time, a dejected David came out of the principal's office.

Looking at his drooping look, V knew that David's idea was shattered.

Therefore, she did not ask how the conversation went inside, but David took the initiative to explain.

"Arasaka Academy has fired me, and the principal does not allow me to come back, even if I am willing to pay compensation for damaging the system."

"This is their loss, not your fault." V comforted.

David forced a smile.

But his mood didn't feel any better because of V's comfort.

"Then do you want me to take you home now, or..."

"Miss V, please take me back to Stone Ridge Mountain," David looked into V's eyes and said, "Although my mother wants me to continue studying, I have been expelled from school. No matter how hard I plead, the principal is not willing to let me go back to study, so..."

He clenched his fists. "At least, I have to have a job, and I can't let my mother raise a moth anymore."

"It's good that you have such an idea, then let's go back to Stone Ridge Mountain."

V doesn't know how Su Xiao plans to arrange David.

But judging from David's experience of enrolling in the Arasaka Academy, there should be no problem for him to work as a clerk in Dawn Society.

As for how far and how high David can go in the future, it all depends on his personal efforts.

The two of them walked towards the Arasaka Academy, but before they took a few steps, David's face suddenly turned a little ugly.

Because he saw that the guy he usually had the least dealing with in school was at the end of this corridor and was walking towards them.

If they just walked over like this, the two of them would run into each other face to face sooner or later.

Based on past experience, nothing good happens every time I meet the other party. Now that I have been fired by the Arasaka Academy, there is no need to conflict with the other party again.

Thinking of this, David said anxiously to V beside him, "Miss V, please come with me over here. Let's go this way."

Although V didn't know what happened, he took a look at David's face and guessed that David might have bumped into someone he didn't want to meet in the academy.

She didn't say anything, just nodded and followed David to the faculty passage in the other direction of the corridor.

But what David didn't know was that the person he didn't want to meet had actually discovered him long before he discovered him.

"David Martinez, haven't you been expelled from the academy? Why do you still dare to appear in the Arasaka Academy?"

"What a shameless piece of trash, let's see how I teach you a lesson!"

David and V ran into the faculty passage and went down the stairs.

Because this faculty and staff passage is a staircase rather than an elevator, few people generally use it, instead using it as an escape route.

In one breath, he ran from the floor where the principal's office was to the stairwell near the exit on the first floor. David turned his head and glanced at the stairs upstairs behind him.

After confirming that the guy hadn't caught up, he put his hands on his knees and gasped for air.

But V standing next to him was neither blushing nor out of breath, which was in sharp contrast to David.

"First... let me rest for a while, and then let's go, Miss V"

"What are you hiding from?"

When David's expression changed just now, V followed David's gaze and noticed that he suddenly changed his route and took the staff passage because he saw a young man wearing a Arasaka Academy uniform with short blue hair.

V is not a person without a sense of boundaries, nor does he like to inquire into other people's privacy.

But if David wants to become their colleague in the future, V does not want David to hide his troubles.

Hiding one's own troubles is not a sign of maturity. On the contrary, it will make it more difficult to end when there is a thunderstorm.

If you can't solve it yourself, it's better to be honest and honest and seek help from others.

David thought for a moment, "He is my classmate in the Arasaka Academy. He always likes to cause trouble for me."

"You owe him money?"

"No, it's just because I'm poor and don't want to lick him like other people do."

V nodded, expressing understanding.

We cannot say that all second-generation rich people are disgusting, but we have to admit that some of them are indeed even more rubbish than the villains in urban novels.

"Then let's go, you won't meet him again in the future."

"That's what I thought too."

The two of them came down the stairs and walked towards the closed exit door.

Suddenly, the exit door was opened from the outside, and the young man David wanted to see the most, walked in like a proud rooster.

His eyes glanced around, finally resting on David, and said in a arrogant tone.

"David Martinez, what are you doing here?"

David felt tight in his heart.

He already consciously wanted to avoid the other party,

But the opponent is still like a tarsal maggot, unable to get rid of it, which is really unlucky.

"This has nothing to do with you, right, Tanaka Katsuo? Wherever I want to go is my freedom."

"Freedom? I found it funny when I heard it. You have been fired from the Arasaka Academy. What qualifications do you have to come to the Arasaka Academy?"

"I don't want to quarrel with you. Get out of the way. Don't you want to see me? I'm about to leave. I make it sound as if I really don't want to be here."

Tanaka Katsuo suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at David, screaming strangely.

"That's the attitude, David, do you know why you have no friends in the college? Do you know why I always target you? It's your current attitude that makes me unhappy."

"I'm not pointing out that your family is poor. In fact, I'm very open-minded. It's not your fault that you were born into a poor family. There's no rule that poor people can't study Arasaka Academy. Of course, the premise is that they can afford the tuition."

"But what I can't forgive is your attitude! You look so out of place, you freak!"

"Trash that will never fit into the class. If you ignore it, it will only make others dirty. What you can do is not to implicate us."

V's eyes narrowed slightly.

There was no emotion on her face, but she already had a bad feeling in her heart towards this classmate named Tanaka Katsuo, David.

Although Tanaka Katsuo is targeting David, he is not targeting her.

However, this kind of guy who is no better than the poor except for his good reincarnation, arrogantly talks to the poor and talks a lot of nonsense that seems reasonable but is actually nonsense, it is still very uncomfortable.

David is also very dissatisfied with Tanaka Katsuo.

I'm especially annoyed that this guy has no discernment.

Didn't you see that it was obviously the last time you came to the Arasaka Academy? Why can't you just be kind and let yourself go?

But David was dissatisfied, but after taking a deep breath, he suppressed all the dissatisfaction in his heart.

If it were the past, he would fight Tanaka Katsuo no matter what.

But now, he can't do that.

He couldn't get Miss V and Mr. Su into trouble.

David doesn't know much about the backgrounds of these students in the college, but since Tanaka Katsuo is in their class, they have the deepest backgrounds.

So I have heard about it.

It seems that Tanaka Katsuo's father is not only a member of the board of directors of the Arasaka Academy, but also has a high position in Arasaka Tower.

No matter how stupid David is, he knows that if Tanaka Katsuo is beaten, this young man will definitely go to his father to complain.

Mr. Su and the others will be in trouble by then.

David had a dark face, put his hands in his pockets and was about to walk out, but Tanaka Katsuo blocked him in front of him without mercy.

"Wait, I'm not finished yet!"

Tanaka Katsuo tilted his head, with an expression on his face that he wanted to be beaten, and continued, "I heard that your mother came to the college a few days ago and begged the principal for forgiveness."

"It's really embarrassing to be crying and praying for my precious son not to be kicked out of school."

"Besides, I've always found it strange, what kind of job does your mother do, so that she can afford for you to study here? Why don't you explain it to me? David Martinez."

David's face had completely darkened, but Tanaka Katsuo seemed not to have seen it, or in fact he had seen it, but he continued to provoke without caring at all.

"There is only one way I can think of to make quick money at Night City, and that is illegal work."
