Draman, one of Night City's artificial intelligences.
It is also the only taxi service company in Night City that is managed by artificial intelligence and regards the safety and comfort of passengers as its top priority.
All its taxis are directly controlled by Delamain. There is no driver and the whole journey is unmanned.
In the branch line of the game, Delamain will be invaded by a mysterious virus. The taxis controlled by it will have consciousness, and multiple independent artificial intelligences will appear. In other words, Delamain will be infected by the virus. Piles of sons and daughters.
In the game, this branch has three endings.
The first one is to restart the core of Draman, who will forget his memories with the protagonist V.
The second is to destroy Draman's core, and Draman will disappear from the Night City.
The third option is to choose to fuse Delamain with his sons and daughters. After the fusion, Delamain will understand the true meaning of life. He will say that he will no longer stay in Night City and will go to cyberspace. Where can he go? This is where he belongs.
But before leaving, he will give a taxi to the protagonist V, who is also Delamain's son and speaks in a very humane way.
The mysterious virus, the mysterious cyberspace, everything is thought-provoking.
While thinking about it, Xu Qingshan fastened his seat belt.
"Before the trip begins, I must confirm the identity of all guests. Please access your personal link."
Just after fastening his seat belt, Delamain's familiar voice sounded in the taxi.
On the screen behind the front seat, Delamain's character is also synchronized in real time, maintaining voice synchronization.
'Although I don't have a 'data cable' on me, I do have peripherals. '
Thinking about it, Xu Qingshan connected the peripheral data cable to Delamain.
This peripheral is a system benefit and can complete most collection operations on its behalf. It can also replace personal links.
"Thank you, the 'Excellence' package has been launched."
“Excellence?”
"'Excellence' is a package service tailor-made for our premium clients."
Xu Qingshan's eyelids twitched when he heard the notification sound from Delamain.
He knew about this 'Excellence' package, which could be called a funeral one-stop service. Jack used it in his last mission in the game.
But not to mention anything else, Elena was really willing to give him a senior membership in Draman.
He remembered that in addition to one-stop funeral services, this service also had a 'combat mode' to protect the safety of passengers. As long as you got on the bus and were a legal passenger, even if the attacker was a company, you would fight back with all your strength.
It's completely outrageous to say that Cyber World Taxi's combat mode is actually legal, and if I remember correctly, it's stipulated by the Second Amendment.
You have all the rights to 'assume' and use Delamain as long as you are on board.
I just don’t know what the difference is between the anime and the game.
“What does excellence include?”
“There is a full range of health insurance that covers the disposal and burial of the client’s remains in the event of death in the vehicle.”
'Well, it is indeed a one-stop funeral service. '
After hearing Delaman's reply, Xu Qingshan understood that Delaman should be exactly the same as the setting in the game.
'I just don't know if I'll ever be lucky enough to see Delamain's fighting mode. '
Even in the game's plot, Delamain's battle mode only appeared once or twice. It was very 'strong' and directly supported the protagonists V and Jack to break through Arasaka's encirclement.
However, it is mainly 'Customer' V who fights back on his own.
"Lao De, I remember you have a battle mode?"
"Yes, but I'm sorry, you are not in any immediate danger now, and the combat mode cannot be activated."
"I didn't want to activate it, I just wanted to ask you if there is an upper limit on the firepower allowed in this combat mode?"
I have to say that Draman is still very polite, but he really doesn't want to actively activate his combat mode. He is just curious about how many weapons this combat mode allows.
In the game, I feel that there are not many weapons in his combat mode, so he is very bulletproof, his car has strong performance, and he breaks through very hard.
"So that's what you wanted to ask. I'm very sorry that I misunderstood you."
"It's okay, can you tell me?"
Shaking his head, Xu Qingshan said it was okay and he understood.
"If you're wondering, of course, it's clear in the Second Amendment, open and transparent."
"Can you tell me more about it? I'm quite interested."
"Of course, it can also help you kill time during the trip."
"Thank you then."
"You're welcome."
Driving in the Night City, Delamain began to explain in detail.
"According to the provisions of the Second Amendment,..., rental vehicles are allowed to carry weapons and equipment..., the vehicle's armed firepower does not exceed 'one-quarter' of the devil lizard,..., and the firepower I carry has a small Missiles, heavy machine guns,..."
After listening to Delaman's detailed description, Xu Qingshan said it was wonderful.
The Demon Lizard is a military-grade super-suspended armored tank, a complete war machine that can easily overwhelm any gang or tribe with just one tank.
In the game, killing people with a Demon Lizard is easier than chopping melons and vegetables. A Demon Lizard can directly kill ordinary company troops, and the Terrorist Mobile Team is nothing in front of it.
Although the Demon Lizard was a bit weak in the anime, and was defeated by David equipped with the 'Prosthet King Kong' after firing more than ten or twenty missiles, it is undeniable that the Demon Lizard is powerful, otherwise it would not be a military aircraft. super suspended armored tank.
He still remembered that only two pilots were needed to drive the Demon Lizard. Through the neural link, the Demon Lizard could achieve 'man and machine as one', which was ridiculously powerful.
And the provisions of the Second Amendment actually allow the vehicle to be modified into a 'quarter devil lizard'. If this was done, the destructive power would be staggering, and it would be terrifying just to think about it.
But when I think about it, I think it makes sense. In Night City, it is completely legal to carry guns and modify prosthetic bodies, whether it is the terrifying 'Mantis Knife', 'Hand Cannon', or 'Orangutan Arm'... as long as you have the money to install it. rise.
When they start to move, all of them are terrifying killing machines. Either you will kill him or he will kill you. The attack is high and the health is low.
"Old De, have your weapons reached their limit?"
"No. Based on market feedback, the required ratio of weapons and ammunition, hazard intensity surveys,..., there is no need for such a high configuration."
"All right."
After hearing what Delaman said, Xu Qingshan felt a little regretful.
What a great match, a strong yuppie.
I remember someone also revealed that the game originally set Draman to be very powerful, but it was later cut.
But think about it, if Delaman really pays according to the top, the weapons and equipment for each taxi will not be paid back at any time. It is impossible for Delaman to do that.
Bang bang bang~
"It has been detected that you are really facing an 'assassination'. Combat mode has been activated. Please stay calm."
Just when Xu Qingshan was sighing, gunshots and Delaman's voice prompts suddenly sounded in his ears.
"what's the situation?"
