city,
With the map of Himeko, I am finally no longer a headless fly.
After accessing the Internet, Himeko learned a lot of information about the world.
[Misty District: Los Angeles is full of technology and violence, and there are many opportunities everywhere. People who are wise and courageous can always make a lot of money here.]
[Company: It is not the Interastral Peace Corporation we are familiar with. Of course, it is not called Arasaka. Its full name is just "Company".]
[Perhaps we can call it "Bi Yi Suo Si". The funny thing is: "Si" and "Si" have the same pronunciation, which is a clever homophony that makes people laugh.]
[Shut Up, can I not occupy the screen when recording information?]
[Sorry.]
Shut Up didn't dare to continue causing trouble, Himeko continued to sort out the information.
[Brain-Computer Interface and Cybernetic Implant: After installation, the body's functions have been greatly improved. Dan Heng was marked as dangerous goods, which may be related to his being wanted. According to some people's descriptions, those with enough ability can qualify to purchase AI Intelligent Chip, but the people at the bottom will not be able to pay the price of a chip throughout their lives.]
[People after installing Intelligent Chip seem to be too dependent on AI? Is the person holding the brush, or is the brush holding the person? People in this world seem to be unwilling to delve into this issue. It is temporarily listed as an exploration target, and you can inquire a little bit if you have the opportunity.]
[It has been nearly an hour since I entered Los Angeles, and I met other Contestants, a distance of twenty kilometers, and it should not have been so slow. It is not yet clear whether there was an accident on the way, or whether the location of Contestants was scattered because of the large map.]
[Member Astral Express Crew is currently only in contact with Dan Heng, and it is clear that March 7th is outside the site. The whereabouts of the rest are unknown.]
After recording the log, Himeko uploaded it to Data Bank, and then called up the map.
From the map, Himeko found the nearest one, which seemed to be the most high-end - Black Market.
According to the laws of Los Angeles, those illegal Cybernetic Implant and chips cannot be circulated in the market.
But the market is free, and if there are more policies, there will be more countermeasures. Black Market was born so naturally.
What's even more incredible is that Black Market is actually displayed on the map.
This makes Himeko have to suspect that the big hand behind Black Market is actually from the company.
For Himeko, the existence of such a place always has more advantages than disadvantages.
For example, she can easily sell the Cybernetic Implant that she just removed from that group of people, exchange for a little money, and buy some more durable chips to insert into Shut Up's head.
"If I could, I'd like to find a chip that cleans up bad jokes."
Black Market is not too far away. After passing through a clean and tidy city, Himeko followed a small alley and turned into an underground passage.
Along the way, Himeko carefully observed all the passers-by and selected a few who came up to talk to them.
Those who are cleanly dressed and look respectable, when responding to Himeko, or completing some small tasks asked by Himeko, will give priority to the Intelligent Chip living in their heads to think, and then do it themselves.
Did you really follow it, without any suspicion at all? And... very polite?
Although those who have installed chips are a bit mechanical, they are fully developed morally, intellectually, physically, artistically and laboriously. After helping some small favors proposed by Himeko, they will refuse the remuneration provided by Himeko, saying that this is what they should do.
[Building a harmonious society together is the responsibility of each of us]
Mechanical and Order--This is the evaluation given by Himeko.
These decent people are not the only ones she pays attention to. She also comes into contact with some people who are considered dishonest and appear to be dishonest in the eyes of the general public.
Especially after turning into a dark alley, these people appeared in large groups, and there were not many good ones.
For those who cannot afford Intelligent Chip, most of the chips inserted in the Brain-Computer Interface chip slot are second-hand chips, modified chips, or even special products from the garbage factory.
Because of this, everything they say and do comes entirely from their heart, without too many standard answers provided by AI.
"I'm not praising them."--Himeko later made an extra mention when describing this adventure to his companions.
Because these people don't have good intentions. They are like pica who haven't eaten for three days and their eyes are green with hunger. When they saw the mysterious delicacies made by Himeko Trailblaze, greed was written on their faces.
Since entering the underground passage, they encountered many troublemakers.
The first one focused on Shut Up, a suspected company high-tech Housekeeping Robot, and wanted to snatch it away from Himeko. Himeko seduced him to a deserted place, pulled out the chip from the back of his head, and planted it into the ground, waiting for it to take root and sprout.
After walking for a while, another group of people focused on Himechi Cat, a plush toy that could speak human language, and wanted to steal her. Himechi Cat pretended to be taken into the car by them, and walked back alone five minutes later, dragging a bunch of robotic limbs and chips.
"Little beauty, is there anyone harassing you here~" A black-skinned man with a lip stud and no hair on his head, but with many metal spikes twisted his waist, came to Himeko, and extended his hand to Himeko without hesitation.
This is already the third one.
"Why are there so many people looking for trouble?"
"Maybe it's because we have always picked unoccupied places before. I suggest that we just make a big fuss. Otherwise, it will be endless."
Himechi Cat took out the electric saw and pointed to the center of the underground square ahead.
"Look, there are a lot of people here. Let's saw him to death here, then dismember him and hang it on the ceiling, and then use it as a target to practice boxing. Then they won't have trouble looking for trouble."
"... I didn't know you were like this."
Himechi Cat is getting longer and crooked, and Himeko is a little worried about what she will become in the future.
However, what Himechi Cat said makes sense. The noise should be louder. After all, the money she needs is not a small amount.
After making the decision, Himeko grabbed the arm of the man with the lip nail,
"Shut Up, Search for wanted warrant."
"Nailhead: C-level Wanted Criminal, bounty of twenty-five thousand, crimes: illegal organ trafficking, intentional homicide, a total of thirteen Los Angeles citizens died at his hands."
Before the lip-nailed man could react, an irresistible force pulled him directly.
The legs drive the waist, the belt drives the shoulders, and the shoulders drive the arms. Himeko directly throws the lip-studded man towards the center of the underground square.
Banner Spear appeared in the hands of Himeko, and an energy bomb shot out, hitting the opponent's door perfectly before the lip-nailed man landed.
The blast of air caused the surrounding passers-by to stagger back, with limbs and mechanical parts flying everywhere, and even hitting passers-by on the head.
Here, dead people are a normal thing. Usually when they see a dead person, passersby will ignore it and continue to do their own thing.
But when Himeko pointed his gun at the passers-by, they realized what Black Market had come in.
The passers-by who were indifferent just now were in a mess,
"The murderer is coming, run away--"
