The Whirlpool Gang is active in the Watson District and North Industrial District (NID) of Night City.
A blind fascination with prosthetics and cybernetics, easily identifiable by their terrifying faces and vicious optical implants, these elements are also standard features of this gang.
In addition to the Vortex Gang, there are other gangs in Night City, such as the Tiger Claw Gang, the Scavengers, the Animal Gang...
Even if companies that have mastered the power of capital control the world, these products of the old generation are still as purely in this world as gangrene in the bones.
Like David's mother, who died in an attack by the Animal Gang on company employees.
These gangs are not only unfriendly to the company, but also unfriendly to ordinary people.
This is one of the characteristics of Night City. It is chaotic but orderly. While it tolerates everyone, it also drags everyone into the abyss.
"Boy, I see you are paralyzed. I mean, have you thought about how to compensate me!"
Not seeing the expected reaction, the four big men from the Whirlpool Gang pushed Xu Qingshan fiercely.
They didn't care at all about their companion lying on the ground twitching, and even wished she would die immediately so that they could get more money.
They have no mercy for their companions. In their eyes, there is only naked greed.
The guy in front of him was well-dressed. Although he didn't know why he didn't have a prosthetic body, it could be seen from his temperament and the automatic equipment following him that this guy was definitely not the kind of guy who didn't have money to get a prosthetic body.
"I'm very annoyed when there are so many things to do when I go out."
Sighing, Xu Qingshan felt helpless.
Is it not a good time to go out today? Why do I encounter such people one after another? Are normal people a rare species? The plan to deal with the 'pests' in Night City seems to be on the way.
"I'm talking to you, you idiot"
Bang~*4
Without giving them a chance to talk nonsense, Xu Qingshan treated them equally and gave them the same pain. Although it was not fatal, the punishment would accompany them for life. The current convulsions on the ground were just an appetizer.
"It's five minutes past seven, five minutes wasted. But it's still early, there's still time to go shopping."
I looked at the clock and saw there was still plenty of time.
Turning around and leaving, nothing happened this time. Xu Qingshan let his feelings travel through the City of Night, seeing a city that is said to be a place where dreams can be seen.

"Afterlife?"
Looking up at the name of the nightclub in front of him, Xu Qingshan's eyes were quite strange.
He was really wandering around casually, but somehow he ended up at the most famous nightclub in the Night City.
Maybe...it's hard to say that this place has an inexplicable attraction. Well, it's actually because there are so many people here, and he was attracted by a few strange people among them.
This is a popular destination for edgewalkers of all stages.
Whether it's a date with a contact, a package to drop off, or just a nice drink, there's always something for everyone here.
At the same time, it is also one of the most famous information stations in Night City.
When Virgin V first came in, Jack Wells excitedly listed the legendary mercenaries and middlemen who haunted the place.
And at the front desk, legends have left wines named after them in Clare.
"You're all here, come in and sit down."
After thinking for a moment, Xu Qingshan stepped into this legendary nightclub.
The boss of "Afterlife" is called "Roger". He was a good friend of Johnny Silverhand in the past. Fifty years ago, they made a small nuclear bomb together and blew up the Arasaka Building.
But now, she is not as 'crazy' as before.
Now he is the most powerful middleman in Night City, owning and operating the afterlife.
Cyberpunk icon, former mercenary, world corrector.
She has lived a quiet life in Night City since she became the leading figure among the Edgewalkers decades ago.
But even though she has retired, her influence in Night City remains unchanged.
While walking, Xu Qingshan recalled information about the afterlife.
"I remember that the first knife in "Cyberpunk 2077" was issued from here."
Jack Welsh, the protagonist V's best friend, and V came here after accepting the task of stealing the biochip of Mr. Arasaka's master, Yorinobu Arasaka. By the way, they 'prepared' a drink at Claire's.
Like an old general on the stage, with flags behind him.
As expected, there was an accident. Jack died during that mission, and so did V.
If V hadn't been the protagonist controlled by the player, he would have been resurrected, otherwise he would have sent it.
"And David also accepted the mission of 'Faraday' here and sent it."
Maybe this is fate. Edgewalkers will always get together in the next life. Those who cannot become legends will disappear silently, while those who become legends will leave behind their own recipes.
Like, a glass of David Martinez.
…
"First time here?"
"Um."
In front of the bar, Xu Qingshan met Carlisle again.
Perhaps because this is the world called "Cyberpunk Edgewalker", Claire looks more feminine than in "Cyberpunk 2077".
However, when he thought that she used to be him, Xu Qingshan felt that the world was really 'beautiful'.
At the same time, he also had to lament the power of sex reassignment surgeries in this world. If they didn't know about it in advance, most people wouldn't notice it even if they tried it.
Maybe Qingshan is an immortal cultivator and knows the plot, otherwise he wouldn't be able to recognize the peculiarity of this Claire.
"How about a drink?"
Claire said with a smile, not caring about Xu Qingshan's identity.
It's rare for company employees to come to the 'afterlife', and they don't have any prosthetics like themselves. It seems that their identities are very complicated.
This outfit alone is very extraordinary.
'Are my clothes really expensive? Just by looking at my clothes, everyone knows that I am either rich or expensive? '
The Uzumaki Gang thought so before, and now Claire said so too. Xu Qingshan couldn't help but read the information about this outfit in his mind.
“Tequila Old Fashioned + Chili + Beer.”
While flipping through the memories in his mind, Xu Qingshan casually ordered a drink.
He is still very good at multitasking. He usually plays games with the girl from Qingshan or watches some dramas. He often browses the memories in his mind. Sometimes it is normal to multitask.
'I found it, um~ it's really expensive. '
In his mind, Xu Qingshan found out the information about the clothes. They were indeed quite expensive. They felt like they were comparable to an ordinary prosthetic body. He was worthy of being a young master from a wealthy family.
"I didn't realize it. You are actually the one who knows how to order Johnny Silverhand. You are the first one today."
Hearing the recipe read out by Xu Qingshan, Claire looked at Xu Qingshan with great interest as he spoke. There were quite a few unexpected things today.
"Actually, it's nothing, I just want to try it."
If possible, Xu Qingshan actually wants to order a glass of 'Jack Welsh', or...
