Back in his apartnt, David sat on his couch, eyes fixed on the system interface before him.
Taking a deep breath, he reached out ntally and clicked on the [Source Plan cha Complete Set] icon.
The display changed instantly.
Before him, twenty-four sleek, futuristic cha designs unfolded in a holographic array.
Their designs were otherworldly, exuding power, efficiency, and cutting-edge technology.
However...
David's eyes narrowed.
Every single one had a small lock symbol underneath.
[Unavailable]
"Figures," he muttered. "Nothing's ever that easy."
Curious, he selected one at random.
A dialogue box popped up.
[Would you like to recharge to withdraw this cha? Required amount: 4,000,000 eurodollars.]
David's eyebrow twitched.
"Four million?!"
Even for soone like him, who had just earned a hefty prize from the Death Rally, this price was ridiculous.
And more than that—
"This thing was a souvenir brought back by my frog cub," David muttered. "Why the hell do I have to pay to use it?!"
As if responding to his frustration, another prompt appeared:
**[Tip: The Source Project cha is an advanced technological product unique to the Valoran continent.
Upon retrieval by the frog cub, the system must rectify its programs to match this world's energy chanics.
To integrate these cha into the cyberpunk world, they must be converted into combat chips.
This process requires system resources—thus, all costs are covered by the host.]**
David's eye twitched.
"So basically... this system is robbing blind."

A Necessary Investnt
Still, as much as he hated the idea of paying, David knew one thing:
Good tech could an the difference between life and death.
And these chas weren't just good—they were on another level compared to anything in Night City.
After a mont of thought, he made his decision.
"I'll start with two," he muttered.
Right now, his focus wasn't just on himself—his team needed upgrades too.
David scrolled through the available models, carefully considering their capabilities.
Finally, he selected two:
[Source Plan: Thunder] – A dual-gun cha designed for high-speed, long-range attack output.
[Source Plan: Shadow] – A stealth-based assassin cha, built for lethal close-quarters combat.
These weren't just random picks.
Thunder fit Jack's combat style perfectly. The guy loved his guns and needed sothing that could match his firepower.
Shadow was perfect for Lucy. Agile, lethal, and built for speed—this was exactly her kind of gear.
Satisfied, David confird the selection.
[Total cost: 8,000,000 eurodollars.]
[Processing transaction...]
A second later, both chas were unlocked.
And in the blink of an eye—
The glowing holograms vanished.
Two sleek, tallic chips, pulsating with faint blue energy, materialized in David's hands.
He held them up, examining the craftsmanship.
No larger than a data shard, yet within them lay the power of an entire exosuit.
This was technology on another level.
David exhaled.
"These are leagues ahead of anything the corpos have."

A Glimpse of Valoran's Power
But he wasn't done yet.
David glanced at the system again.
There were still two more souvenirs left.
[Hexstone Core]
[Book of Valoran Technology]
He selected both.
[Extracting items...]
First, a deep blue gemstone the size of an apple appeared in his palm.
It pulsed with a powerful, almost overwhelming energy.
David's breath hitched.
Even without analyzing it, he could feel the sheer power within.
The Hexstone Core—
An artifact capable of reshaping reality itself.
"...If this thing is unstable, it could probably level the entire city."
His grip tightened.
This wasn't sothing to play around with.
And that's where the final souvenir ca in.
The Book of Valoran Technology.
The mont he extracted it—
A surge of raw data flooded his mind.
Blueprints. Engineering formulas. Energy modulation techniques.
It was as if an entire supercomputer's worth of information had been forcefully uploaded into his brain.
David clenched his jaw as a sharp migraine hit him.
His forehead throbbed.
His vision blurred.
But despite the pain—
He pushed through.
He could feel it.
His mind was expanding, processing knowledge at a speed he had never experienced before.
By the ti the data transfer finished, the headache faded.
What remained was a sense of clarity.
His fingers twitched.
His mind raced with new ideas.
Weapon blueprints. Armor configurations. Augntation pathways.
David understood it all.
"So this is... the knowledge of Heirdinger?"
For a mont, he simply sat there.
Processing.
But then—
A new thought surfaced.
---
A New Idea – A New Power
David turned his gaze back to the Hexstone Core.
Now that he had the knowledge...
He began to wonder:
What happens if I integrate Valoran's Hextech with Night City's cyberware?
Hexstone energy was far superior to the crude power sources used in this world.
If he could stabilize it—
If he could weaponize it—
The potential was limitless.
His mind flashed through examples:
Jayce's Hamr
Vi's Titan Fists
Viktor's Augntations
All of them were powered by Hexstones.
And now...
David had the resources to replicate them.
A slow grin spread across his face.
"Shit," he muttered. "If this works... I'll be packing way more firepower than even the top-tier rcs in this city."
Cyberpunk technology was already powerful.
But if he combined it with Valoran's Hextech...
He wouldn't just be powerful.
He'd be unstoppable.

The Beginning of Sothing Big
David leaned back, staring at the ceiling.
His mind was buzzing.
The integration of Hexstone energy and Cyberpunk's technology wasn't just possible—
It was inevitable.
And he was going to be the one to make it happen.
He cracked his knuckles.
It was ti to get to work.
To be continued...
