Chapter 190: Chapter 59: Imagination, understand? Patrick Star.
When he entered the bathroom, Lucy started wandering around the room, touching this and looking at that.
The bed was very clean, not only were the sheets tucked in, even the quilt was neatly folded.
After rummaging around for a while, she didn’t find what she wanted to see.
The bookshelf above the computer desk was filled with history books and corporate-published personal biographies, as well as product introductions. Surprisingly, the best-selling Sisi magazines in Night City were absent here, but each book was filled with a lot of notes and highlighted points.
There wasn’t even a decent entertainment device to be found in the whole room, and the super-dream access log only contained Huang Ban training chips and the two Lucy made for him.
What a straightforward guy...
On a whim, Lucy opened the storage room inside the house, and the contents truly startled her.
Several large screens were covered with photos and descriptions, all related to Night City gangs, companies, intermediaries, and hearsay.
The content was rather detailed, even recording the historical development of those gangs, the past gang leaders, company directors, and the power struggles that had occurred.
There was also information on the conflicts between gangs, their power orientations, and the corporate forces supporting them...
It’s important to note that Night City isn’t just about big gangs like the Tiger Claws, there are countless smaller gangs operating in the shadows, yet what’s written here is even more detailed than what Lucy herself knows.
Technically, this kind of stuff would be better analyzed using a computer, but Lin Miao wasn’t skilled at managing so much information, and didn’t possess hacker abilities, so he simply recorded it manually.
Seeing the thorough descriptions on the wall, Lucy was secretly amazed.
"This guy... isn’t he tired?"
Looking at the other screens, Lucy unexpectedly found her own name and photo, though without any special content.
From the first line’s [Hacker?] [Thief?] [Pretty]
To next ones [Lonely] [Complex Past] [Frequent Contact Possible] [Abilities Doubtful]
And finally, [Consider Recruitment] [Abilities Match Requirements]
Lucy thought everything except ’pretty’ could be deleted.
There’s a photo of Gloria stuck next to her own portrait.
The content was not much different from employee profiles.
Divorced, has a son, ERO company emergency service worker, but now changed to attending physician.
But there were a few special marks [Strong] [Ambitious] [Mature] and also a [Pretty] mark.
Initially, knowing Gloria had a son, Lucy felt relieved, but seeing the [Pretty] mark triggered a sense of crisis.
Moreover, why do this woman’s tags seem better than hers!
...
Whew...
Hot water showered his body, finally relaxing the nerves stretched taut all day.
When the next version launches, he’ll be taking some players into Night City.
That will be the most dangerous time, Lin Miao genuinely fears this group of people treating the game like GTA, causing random trouble in the streets.
What’re you looking at?
I’m looking at you.
Try looking again.
Give it a go, it’ll cost you your life.
Only to end up being killed by others as cyber-psychos.
But thinking after getting acquainted with the game content during this period, hopefully, they won’t mess around...
Just as Lin Miao was lost in thought, the bathroom door was pushed open from the outside.
Before he could turn his head, the other party pressed against him, cold skin clinging to the back flushed by hot water, strikingly sensitive.
Lin Miao helplessly said, "I offered you to shower first?"
Lucy giggled, "I remember you have mysophobia, afraid you won’t clean thoroughly, so I came to help."
Lin Miao didn’t know they had the custom of helping others scrub their backs here, and miss, are you using the wrong tool for scrubbing...
Not using your hands but with your chest?
"I’m afraid your help will end up making it dirtier the more you wash."
"Then let’s continue washing."
"Oh~ I thought a person like you wouldn’t have a physiological reaction."
What a seductress, intent on disarming him as soon as she made a move, Lin Miao couldn’t bear it, immediately furious, grabbing the other’s arms, turning around and pressing her against the wall.
Yet the seductress was unfazed, cursing Stable Cleaner at the top of her lungs. The two argued and yelled till their mouths were dry and throats hoarse, breathing rapid and faces flushed, finally willing to halt their verbal battle.
Then the two fought fiercely, Lin Miao battling from Flower Fruit Mountain to Lao Jun’s alchemy room, Heart Monkey saw itself about to be thrown into the alchemy furnace yet remained fearless, instead devoured the Golden Core with gusto.
Silver Horn was deeply ashamed and trembled in speech, "I’ve been refining this pill for over twenty years, how could you eat it!"
"Like I care whose it is, serves you right!"
Finally being pressed and tossed into the alchemy furnace by Silver Horn who couldn’t take it anymore, it charged left and right, the high heat of the Samadhi True Fire couldn’t affect it, in fact refining with the true fire enhanced its numerous skills further, shaking the pill furnace, flames overflowing, nearby Silver Horn cried out for help, Lao Jun came belatedly.
She held a Bajiao Fan, gently waved it causing heavy rain to fall from the sky, dousing the pill room ignited by flame bricks thoroughly, also urgently pleading.
"Great Sage, please withdraw your divine power!"
Though the flame was extinguished, Heart Monkey wasn’t satisfied.
"What a seductress, provoking me repeatedly to fury, do you think you can just fight and leave?"
Four beans lined into a baton, a heavy chop made the seductress dizzy-eyed, broke her stance, then switched to poking, retreating, swirling, retreating, swirling, a series of moves flowing smoothly, finally a strike of ’Phoenix Through Flowers’ made the seductress wail miserably.
As he prepared to strike a Great Sage pose for another round, the seductress saw Heart Monkey wasn’t stopping, also changed tactics, chanting the mountain-moving curse, to move two mountains intending to crush the arrogant Heart Monkey.
But she overestimated her curse skill somewhat, moved what were hardly Mount Emei or Mount Tai, merely two mountains, not really major ones, just barely part of the Hundred Peaks, immediately drew Lin Miao’s mocking.
That your mana’s inadequate is one thing, how do you even move the wrong mountains?
Do you wish to suppress me with just these two?
The teased seductress became angry amidst embarrassment, grabbing another treasure, it was the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence!
"I call to you, dare you respond?"
Switched places, this item can absorb Heart Monkey without calling the real name.
Yet the magical treasure was indeed effective, combined with the two mountains moved by the mountain-moving spell, after momentarily suppressing, Heart Monkey couldn’t withstand it, powers transformed into thick water, shrinking into a strand of monkey hair.
Leaning proudly over the opponent, the seductress teased.
"Hmph, is that all you’ve got..."
Lin Miao stayed silent, opened the curtains, glancing at the sky, moon at zenith, there’s still time.
"Sorry, I’ve switched my lineage, Journey to the West onto Dragon Ball set, now I’m Kakarot!"
Under the moonlight transformed into Great Ape form!
"Eat this move, Kamehameha!"
"???"
But Lucy wasn’t Broly, she didn’t even count as Frieza.
