It seems that the life trajectory on the simulator can only be used as a reference.

After he saw the Sims displayed on the simulator, his fate had quietly changed.

Lin Mo still remembered the original plot. He and Xu Wanxue should have escaped from Twisted Street safely and did not encounter any danger along the way.

But now, he killed a member of the Tiger Claw Gang.

There is also the change in Xu Wanxue's mentality. Now she no longer wants to be an adoptive mother, but now she wants to be his sister!

Alas, I feel tired... Lin Mo looked at the street scene outside the window and sighed.

After riding for a long time, Xu Wanxue finally drove to the apartment where she lived.

Contrary to her impression, Lin Mo thought the apartment she lived in would be located near Charter Hill in Westbrook.

After all, that is where many middle-level employees of the company live.

But Xu Wanxue turned a corner, drove the sports car across the bridge, and arrived near the company square in the municipal center.

In the game, Night City can be divided into six major districts, namely Watson District, Civic Center, Heywood, Westbrook, Santo Domingo and Pacific Island.

Now that the game world has become reality, the city area of ​​Night City will naturally not be as small as in the game.

But the overall layout will not change.

Company Square, located in the Civic Center, has many branches of international giants established in Night City. The skyscrapers standing here constitute the skyline of the city. At night, at a glance, there will be countless black giants standing around them. The illusion is rough and magnificent, beautiful but harboring evil...

"They" faced each other, but they were all silent.

This is the company square, an island-like area. The landmark scenery in the game - the two huge swimming fish formed by holographic projections have appeared here at this time, repeating the same actions as in the game and roaming in mid-air.

The shocking and magnificent scene when we first saw it in the game would only be even more shocking in reality.

It is not yet 2069, the unification war has not yet started, and the main villain of the game, the Arasaka Corporation, has no reason to settle in this city in America.

"But it's almost over..." Lin Mo looked solemn.

When he came to this world, if he couldn't make a name for himself, then he would have wasted the opportunity given by the Mewtwo Simulator.

At the very least, Dangdang should be known as the "Legend of the Afterlife". If possible, it would be even better to be known as the "Legend of the Night City"!

Xu Wanxue, who was sitting in the driver's seat, occasionally observed Lin Mo with concern while driving on the road.

Now when I arrived at the company square, I saw his thoughtful look on his face and thought he was wondering why he was here.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to work overtime. Although it's still six hours before I go to work, what the hell..."

Xu Wanxue explained, and suddenly saw the clock on the display screen in the car. It was already two o'clock in the morning.

"My apartment is right next to the company square. It is specially provided for company employees and is convenient for commuting to and from get off work. Although the land in Charter Hill is nice, it is still a bit far from work."

Lin Mo nodded without saying anything.

Finally, the sports car stopped in the underground parking lot of the apartment. With Xu Wanxue's seed chip, Lin Mo arrived at the apartment building without any hindrance.

At the front desk of the lobby is a lady who is "hidden in gold." Her exposed arms, neck, and face have all been replaced with brass prostheses. She looks like a statue made of gold, looking luxurious. And gorgeous.

As soon as Xu Wanxue walked in, the receptionist who was waiting at the front desk all day bowed slightly and welcomed her back with a smile.

Lin Mo, who was following behind, also looked at the prosthetic body on her body with emotion.

Nowadays, the development of cyber component (prosthetic body) technology has entered the fourth generation.

Compared with the third generation which is mainly about practicality, the fourth generation prosthetics are often dubbed as flashy by various mercenaries.

The fourth generation of prosthetics is divided into two categories. One category is the latest and best prosthetics with extremely high technological level.

For example, [Advanced Neural Processor], [Stress Analyzer] and [Latest Biomonitoring], etc., their users are generally high-level employees or agents of the company.

It cannot be said that these prostheses are not easy to use, but due to their overly sophisticated design and extremely high price, they are impossible to provide to ordinary users.

And those big shots don't fight and kill like ordinary people, so these fourth-generation prosthetics will hardly bring about an improvement in strength.

The second category is decorative prostheses. Flowing expensive metals, pure crystals or natural expensive wood will be implanted into the simulated skin to show the wealth and status of the dignitaries. Each of them is priceless. .

The prosthetic body worn by the front desk lady is a decorative prosthetic body, but she does not have the life of those nobles. The metal that is flashy on the surface is just cheap brass.

Lin Mo doesn't value these prosthetics. What he wants is the third generation of prosthetics, those biological implants (biological components) that can provide users with a lot of assistance!

In fact, he is not willing to transform into "V Zhentian" like the protagonist V in the game.

This is a game meme from the Cyberpunk Game Forum.

In the game, as long as the player is willing, he can completely replace the protagonist's various body systems with combat prosthetics. He is almost like a humanoid motorcycle, so he is also ridiculed as "V Zhentian" by players.

Ask yourself, Lin Mo doesn't want to be that kind of person. If this kind of transformed person is used to stir-fry, I'm afraid he won't be able to get even a little minced meat out...

Therefore, bioprosthetics (biological components) are his goal.

This is a technology that replaces cyber components with biological modifications, such as: subcutaneous nano-organic armor, nano-medical robots, synapse upgrades, nerve cell regeneration modifications...

These prosthetics allow him to retain his "human" attributes to the greatest extent, without turning him into a monster made of steel.

Of course, he is bound to win the most powerful cybernetic body in the game - [Sian Westan Implant] (speed component)!

Just when Lin Mo was thinking about the future with excitement, Xu Wanxue on the side suddenly tapped him on the head.

Lin Mo held his head in his hands and looked at his sister with a puzzled expression.

"Why are you so stunned? We're already home!" Xu Wanxue said angrily, reaching for the button in front of the door and pressing it. After sensing the information on the seed chip, the electronic door slowly opened.

The apartment was elegantly decorated and had all kinds of furniture. Lin Mo also saw a few rare green bamboo trees in Night City dotted on the table. He placed them on Blue Star. He would definitely not be able to buy this apartment without millions.

"I'm going to take a shower and then take a nap. You stay here for the day. If you have anything to do, wait until I get off work tomorrow night." Xu Wanxue yawned and had no energy to continue explaining to Lin Mo. She turned and entered the bathroom.

All the precautions that need to be said were already said in the car.

Lin Mo nodded slightly, stopped disturbing her, and started walking around the apartment.

Although it has reached a stage of extremely high technological level, people's living standards have not actually improved much.

Just like Xu Wanxue, she is the director of the research department of Kangtao Company and can be regarded as a middle-level person in the company. Countless people in Night City may not reach her level after working hard all their lives.

But even so, she still had to work day and night, working 14 hours a day. After get off work, she would go to Twist Street for a while and it was already early in the morning when she got home.

As for sleep time, you're lucky to have 6 hours. Many company employees have to take stimulants and other drugs as supplements in order to work efficiently.

In addition, it is not uncommon for colleagues within the company to plot against each other, dig holes in each other and seek superior positions, etc.

All companies are the same. No matter which company you go to, the first rule written in the contracts and agreements given by these companies is always "Be absolutely loyal to the company".

Join the company and you will enjoy all the privileges and high salary.

However, the price behind this is that once the company betrays the company, the company has the right to take back the betrayer's personal account, all benefits and distributed prosthetics.

Even so, most people are still eager to become company employees, just like domestic wolves who have become accustomed to stable feeding and have worn away their claws and do not want to return to the seemingly beautiful grassland.

In the wild, there may be freedom, but more often than not, there is no time to stop. In the eyes of many people, the company is a stable place that is independent of the "wild".

People are like ants and lives are like grass. This is the best portrayal of this world.

Lin Mo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the cars passing by like dots of fireflies on the street in the early morning, and sighed quietly.

No matter what, he finally has a home in this world now.

...

PS: There are biological components. They come from the setting set and are not made up by the author. The [strengthening tendon] (double jump) prosthesis in the game is a biological component. It is described in the game as "providing support for leg muscles." Biomechanical Connective Tissue.”
