"David's opinion...?"

Gloria hesitated for a moment: "What do you think... David?"

She looked at David with a vulnerable expression, her thoughts unreadable.

"Mom... I don't want to go to school anymore. I've had enough of school life. I want to earn money and ease your burden."

After only a moment's thought, David spoke firmly.

Before today, David might have chosen to listen to his mother and put her mind at ease.

But after experiencing a series of events today and almost losing his mother forever, David's mindset has changed without him even realizing it.

He wanted to make money, to get ahead, and then... to give Gloria a good life.

"But..."

Gloria was about to say something when Silver Wolf interrupted her: "Why do you want David to go to school?"

"So that I can find a good job in the future, even if I don't get into the company, I won't have to work as hard as I did..."

"But now, the opportunity to rise to the top is right in front of us. As long as he gets a prosthetic body, I guarantee that with his talent, he will stand out in a year. Since there is a shortcut, why should he swallow his pride and go to school?"

"But...this is too dangerous, for David..."

"I'm not afraid of danger, Mom."

David walked up to Gloria and took her hand tightly.

"I don't want to put up with those idiots at school anymore, and I don't want to see you working so hard anymore... Believe me, Mom, I will succeed."

David looked at Gloria with a determined gaze, trying to persuade her.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Gloria looked at Silver Wolf: "Can you really guarantee that David won't die because of this prosthetic body?"

"This is a cybernetic body that I modified myself; it's definitely more powerful than any other cybernetic body in the world."

Silver Wolf patted his chest confidently.

"If that's the case, what reason do I have to stop him?"

After letting out a soft sigh, Gloria looked at David and said, "Promise me that your life is the most important thing. Don't forget, there are people at home waiting for you to come back."

Gloria nodded slightly to David.

To be honest, in the past, Gloria would never have agreed to David doing this. However, after experiencing today's series of crises, Gloria also knows that the days of poverty but safety are gone forever.

Since that's the case, it's better to give David the ability to protect himself. With this prosthetic body, he'll be much better at saving his life.

"come over."

Silver Wolf beckoned to David, then turned him around, grabbed him, and attached the prosthetic body to David's back.

Through the power of the Ether editing, this prosthetic body was perfectly integrated with David's body.

There wasn't even the slightest gap.

If an ordinary person were to undergo surgery, the installation of a prosthetic body would definitely leave a mark on their skin.

However, in Silver Wolf's hands, this became incredibly simple, as easy as putting on a hat.

For a silver wolf who can rub his body with his hands, such a small matter is extremely simple.

"This...it's a success?"

The pain he had imagined did not come, and David looked at himself in amazement.

"You don't even know who installed it for you, of course it won't hurt."

Silver Wolf raised an eyebrow.

"Alright, let me briefly explain the abilities of this prosthetic body. I don't need to go into the most basic ability, right? It's acceleration. Then, based on that, I modified this prosthetic body to give it even greater power, such as... enhancing your perception without activating its abilities, allowing you to observe the world more clearly."

With this ability, you'll have enough time to fight your enemy, consider their moves, and then decide how to defeat them.

Actually, Silver Wolf had considered adding a time-stopping ability to the prosthetic body, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

After all, in this world, a single move that accelerates the body and enhances the senses is enough for David to run rampant, let alone the current enhanced version.

"Don't use it too frequently. With your current physical condition, within a safe range, use it a maximum of five times a day. Any more than that, and the backlash will affect your brain, pushing you into the abyss. Of course, as your abilities become stronger, you will be able to use this thing more and more often. In short, make the most of the convenience this ability brings you!"

During that almost frozen moment, Silver Wolf spoke freely on the side.

"It's getting late, so we won't bother you any longer. Goodbye, Gloria."

Doria glanced at the time, pondered for a moment, and then said calmly, before looking at David beside her, "If you've made up your mind, call me. Since you're Gloria's son, Mann and I will teach you a good lesson for Gloria's sake."

"Well, I will."

......

"So, how about joining us?"

After leaving David's house, Mike and Yuan looked at Silver Wolf with some eagerness and said.

If they could bring Silver Wolf into their team, their chances of success would increase even further.

"Join...you guys?"

Silver Wolf looked at the two of them with a strange expression.

“That’s right, we still have one companion who hasn’t come yet. How about we go and meet him? I think if you meet him, you’ll agree with our philosophy.”

"Not interested in."

Silver Wolf pursed her lips and gently shook her head.

"Are you really not going to think about it?"

Mike was getting anxious. They had witnessed Silver Wolf's strength today. If it weren't for Silver Wolf, the two of them might have been captured. Moreover, Mike still didn't understand how Silver Wolf had used such amazing methods.

"Hmm, not considering it, at least not now."

Silver Wolf nodded, then glanced at the time and held the phone screen in front of Mike: "Please, do you know what time it is?"

Silver Wolf puffed out his cheeks and slowly said, "I have already said."

Looking at the 11 p.m. on his phone screen, Mike finally realized, "Sorry, we've been making a fuss for so long today, it is indeed a bit late. How about this, let's rest first, and we can talk about everything tomorrow morning."

After a moment's thought, Mike said.

"No way! Who said it's time to rest? This is the perfect time to play games! Mornings are for sleeping, and I just bought several games that I haven't played yet! I'm going to play them all tonight!"

Eleven o'clock is the perfect time to play games. Who goes to bed at midnight? Isn't this when everyone is most energetic?

"Maybe our schedules are a little different..."

With a wry smile, Mike said somewhat helplessly, "Then when will we see each other again?"

"Let me think, I'll play games until about five o'clock, and then rest until noon."

"Shall we meet in the afternoon?"

"No, no, it's too hot in the afternoon, I don't want to go out!"

Silver Wolf immediately refused.

"Let's talk again tonight. We should at least wait until the sun is almost setting."

Silver Wolf said with a smile.

"Alright, whatever you say."

With a sigh, Mike nodded and said, "Well, she's the boss, so naturally we have to listen to her."

The three then parted ways at a fork in the road.

Mike and Yuan had a tough day, and their prosthetic bodies were damaged in several places, requiring repairs to prevent malfunctions next time they were needed.

If your prosthetic body malfunctions during battle, it can be fatal.

They didn't want to die until they achieved their goal.

Meanwhile, Silver Wolf returned to the Azure Mansion.

In terms of material things, Silver Wolf would naturally not torture himself by forcing himself to endure hardship.

In the last world, I could live with Alicia, but in this world, I'm truly all alone. Fortunately, Silver Wolf's mind is now completely occupied with games. Women? They'll only slow me down!

Where can women find fun games?

This is Silver Wolf's current thought.

Back in his penthouse suite at the Azure Mansion, Silver Wolf plugged in the disc, picked up the controller, and immediately began his battle.

Although there are holographic games in this world, Silver Wolf is not interested in this type of game. After all, once you can control it yourself, even the most difficult games become easy for Silver Wolf.

Silver Wolf has always loved challenging himself with difficult games!

An hour later.

Silver Wolf: ...

"When the producer was a child, he was pecked by a chicken while walking. After killing the chicken, he was chased and hacked at by a group of monsters..."

"When the producer was a child, he would wake up one morning to eat breakfast, and after the 30-second timer expired, he would get hungry and need to go to the toilet, only to find that the toilet door couldn't be opened from this side..."

Seeing the screen turn gray again, Silver Wolf, looking disappointed, snorted coldly, "I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean!"

The next moment, the game data was rewritten, and the character on the screen launched a normal attack with a critical hit, easily killing the monster that Silver Wolf had been fighting for half an hour without success.

"Hmm, there must have been a bug in the game just now. How come that monster is so hard to kill and deals so much damage..."

......

On the other side, at the very top of the Azure Sky Building, in the room of Arasaka Yorinobu, the current emperor of Night City.

At this moment, she was sitting in a chair, and in front of her was the person who had reported the situation earlier.

"Any news?"

His somewhat hoarse voice carried a hint of impatience.

This made the woman standing next to her nervous.

Although there were other relationships between the two, the woman knew that if she did not do things to the other party's satisfaction, he could make her fall from her current position with just one word. At that time, she would have nothing left and might only be able to rely on the prosthetic body she had modified to please Arasaka Yorinobu to please other men.
