The sky is very foggy.

The drizzle falls lightly.

Neon signs and holographic advertisements dye the falling rain colorfully.

The high-rise buildings built by Mega Corporation on Corporate Plaza are like the palaces where the Nordic gods live, standing in rows and rows.

Dazzling neon lights reflected on the wet road.

Tangled into groups, strange and bizarre.

But before anyone could see clearly, a Delamain Taxi drove past the road where rainwater had accumulated, splashing large amounts of rainwater.

The gorgeous night scene Corporate Plaza outside the window did not attract Su Xiao's attention at all.

His attention was entirely focused on his own attribute panel.

Name: Su Xiao

Potential Points:60

Skills:

Firearm Maintenance LV5

Blade Mastery LV5

Marksmanship Mastery LV5

Strength LV5

Dodge LV5

Block LV5

Throw LV5

Vehicle Driving LV5

I Guess LV???

Since the skill level reaches LV5, each level upgrade requires 10 points of Potential Points.

Therefore, the Potential Points and Su Xiao previously obtained in the commission have not been used, but have been accumulated.

He thought carefully.

Finally, all 30 points of Potential Points are invested in dodge.

Dodge LV5→Evasion LV8

A warm current emanates from the heart and flows through the limbs and bones.

"Delamain, stop."

"But you haven't arrived at your destination yet..."

"I asked you to stop the car."

"I understand."

"Wait for me here, I'll be back soon"

After saying these words, Su Xiao took a step forward and disappeared from where he was.

When he reappeared, he was already several steps away.

Su Xiao does not have any prosthesis installed.

However, this movement speed is equivalent to the full performance of the third generation "Kerenzi Ke Fu".

Moreover, it is not just the movement speed and shooting speed that are improved.

There is also neurological reaction speed and excellent dynamic vision.

Su Xiao tried it.

Although he is not as perverted as "Stein Westan", after the improvement, his nerve reaction speed and dynamic vision are not even half as good as before.

If he were to have another fight with the dead Nantong Zhengshuang.

This battle will definitely not take that long.

Chapter 75 Please, you are so cool (4K)

After fully experiencing the pleasure after the upgrade, Su Xiao returned to Delamain Taxi.

"Welcome back."

Well, let's drive."

After the skill level was improved, he was very satisfied with the effect it brought.

In Night City, your own strength is very important.

Only when you have the strength can you talk about other things.

But there's more to tonight than just that...

Su Xiao took out a box from under the seat next to him and placed it on the seat.

He opened the box, and with the light of the street lights and neon signs outside the window, he could easily see clearly that what was inside the box was a Priest's Robe that had been cleaned and folded neatly.

That is the robe Nantong Zhengshuang is wearing.

At that time, after Nantong Zhengshuang was solved, Su Xiao left quickly without having time to touch the body.

The bodies of Nantong Zhengshuang and other Law Enforcement Group were later taken away by the City Hall's corpse truck.

Su Xiao spent a little money to buy this robe.

During the battle, Su Xiao had already discovered something unusual about this robe.

Now that I have it in my hand, just by touching it, Su Xiao is even more sure that this is no ordinary robe.

Su Xiao took this cassock, looked at it carefully, and then suddenly realized.

"That's it... that's it..."

This bulletproof vest is not made of polycarbonate or aramid material like other bulletproof vests.

Instead, simply cover the third generation Subdermal Armor on the robe.

No wonder it's bulletproof.

However, implants like Subdermal Armor are priced based on the size of a fingernail.

Thanks to Nantong Zhengshuang, I was able to get Subdermal Armor that covered a piece of clothing.

Tiger Claws Gang is so rich?

What a big dog.

In fact, what Su Xiao didn't know was that Nantong Zhengshuang was not as easy as he thought.

It's because of being heavily in debt that I can own such a bulletproof vest covered by the third generation Subdermal Armor.

At this moment, the system panel, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly popped up a prompt:

"You got inspiration from this bulletproof vest. Subdermal Armor is an implant implanted in the epidermis, but it was used by Nantong Zhengshuang in the bulletproof vest. This idea is not that advanced, but because of the high cost, it was abandoned by Mega Corporation."

"But this Nantong Zhengshuang self-made body armor is not perfect, and there is still room for further changes."

"Would you like to spend 30 points Potential Points to obtain the improved blueprint?"

Su Xiao's eyes lit up and he confirmed without hesitation.

"Yes."

"Consume 30 points Potential Points to obtain the improved blueprint--Customized Bulletproof Combat Suit"

In the exclusive box of the next life, Rogge is helping Su Xiao get goods through his own channels.

Suddenly received a communication from Su Xiao.

There was an obviously unhappy expression on her face.

But the call was still answered.

Get straight to the point.

"Little guy, I called because I regretted that the money was given too quickly. Do you want to take it back? Yes, but according to the rules, I can't refund all the money to you. At most, I can only refund 80%."

It's not Roger's black heart.

It's the rules of this line of work.

Whether it's entrusting a middleman to purchase firearms, prosthetics, medicines, or asking for information.

After both parties have reached an agreement and paid the deposit.

You can regret it, but the deposit will not be refunded.

It's not Rogge who does this, but all middlemen do it.

That's the rule in this business.

Since Su Xiao was paid in one lump sum, Rogge said that 80% would be refunded.

The 20% she left was exactly the amount of the deposit.

"No, I need to add some more things to that list of items temporarily."

Su Xiao's answer surprised Rogge.

She raised her eyebrows.

"Well, tell me."

Su Xiao explained the materials he needed to make Customized Bulletproof Combat Suit.

"Okay, then just wait. I have everything ready and will deliver it to your door."

She is indeed the queen of middlemen.

It's this resolute and resolute character.

"One more thing."

"What is it?"

"Can I pay in installments for these additional materials? I don't have that much money on hand."

Roger: "..."

She didn't speak.

Su Xiao didn't speak either.

For a moment, there were only two people looking at each other on the holographic phone, and there was silence.

"You know that the things you want are not cheap, right?"

"Yes, I know."

"Then you should also know that your reputation is not big enough yet for me to trust you."

The corners of Rogge's mouth turned up slightly.

There was no businessman's coldness in his tone.

Although it's a bit strange to say this...

However, Su Xiao always feels a bit like the interviewer's test on the candidate.

"You don't need to believe me."

"Oh?"
