Chapter 8: Battle Maiden – Alice
Luo Sheng carried the chanical maiden on Acoley’s back, located Dr. Jack’s position on the map and hurried over.
In the wasteland world, besides the cyberpunk city floating in the sky before their eyes, there were many other wasteland city-states. As the na suggests, wasteland city-states were actually established by scavengers and those who couldn’t obtain green cards for the sky city. Of course, the wasteland city-states originally served the sky city.
They provided large quantities of supplies to the sky city, while the sky city provided protection to the wasteland city-states, as well as a little technology, funding, and violent institutions.
The nearest earth city was called Detroit, which was also where Dr. Jack was located.
“Doctor, how is she?”
Luo Sheng found the location of the clinic and went inside to see a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard wearing a white coat.
Dr. Jack placed the chanical maiden on the operating table, and the surrounding chanical arms began scanning. He then glanced at Luo Sheng and the cute and innocent Acoley.
After looking at the display on the operating table, he replied, “At least her reproductive organs are fine.”
“Uh…”
Luo Sheng was stunned for a mont.
Clearly, seeing Acoley beside him and his handso and dashing appearance, the other party mistook him for so rich young master seeking excitent and fun.
Luo Sheng wasn’t that kind of person, but he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If that part of the chanical maiden was fine, it proved she was still human to so extent.
Humans are at least cuter than machines.
Dr. Jack said, “She’s severely injured, all these modified prostheses have been damaged, and her original body is very weak. I can help her replace the prostheses.”
“Thank you, doctor.”
Luo Sheng apologized and then handed over the chanical coins he had collected to the doctor.
Dr. Jack beca even more efficient, directly using the clinic’s best prostheses to connect to the girl’s limbs, and replacing her with a high-powered biological lung.
After repairing the diseases of her original body, the girl regained her radiance, but still remained in a deep coma.
“If you have nowhere to go, you can stay with her upstairs, there’s another empty room up there.”
Dr. Jack could see that Luo Sheng wasn’t a local, nor was he from the sky city, so he treated the clinic as a hostel, trying to attract so business to supplent his household expenses.
Luo Sheng certainly wouldn’t refuse and nodded in agreent.
However, when he saw Dr. Jack’s superb chanical modification and repair skills, he had a brand new idea.
Luo Sheng took out the 【00-2 Humanoid Armor】 from his card box, handed it to Dr. Jack and asked, “Can this cha be upgraded and modified?”
Dr. Jack examined the cha and casually said, “This kind of cha is too low-level, modification is quite easy, but if you want to use the best materials, the price won’t be low.”
Luo Sheng confird his guess, other chanical cards could also be modified and upgraded in this wasteland world, which ant that when he entered a card world, he could simultaneously strengthen cards related to that world.
But now he was in a bit of a predicant.
Because treating and repairing the chanical maiden had already cost a lot of chanical coins.
Dr. Jack seed to see his predicant, “So small modifications can be done, it doesn’t need too much money, wait until you have enough capital for major modifications.”
Luo Sheng nodded in agreent.
And asked Dr. Jack how to make money quickly, he gave the simplest thod, beco a bounty hunter.
The wasteland city-state had a mixed population, all kinds of people lived here, and it was inevitable for criminals to appear. The chanical police from the sky city couldn’t effectively prevent cri, so they established a bounty hunter headquarters.
During the period when the chanical maiden was in a coma.
Luo Sheng inquired about information all over the wasteland city-state.
He registered his identity at the bounty hunter headquarters and successfully beca a hunter.
With Acoley’s help, he successfully hunted down a criminal and obtained a considerable bounty, then continued to give this money to Dr. Jack to modify the cha.
Luo Sheng’s purpose was very clear, this set of cha was both a combat weapon and defensive armor, which could protect his life.
For this, he had to take it seriously.
Dr. Jack was equally thorough, as long as the money was in place, he replaced better components for the cha, even miniaturizing the Hall thrusters and distributing them in the palms and soles of the feet.
He improved the cha’s heat insulation performance and replaced the long blade with a silver ion folding long sword, making the cha more lightweight.
…
3 days later.
The chanical maiden woke up groggily and found herself lying on a soft bed. Sitting in a single sofa beside her was a tired and handso young man.
He seed to sense it and opened his eyes, “You’re awake, how do you feel?”
The chanical maiden asked, “How did I end up here?”
“I found you by chance in a garbage heap, then I brought you to Dr. Jack to save your life,” Luo Sheng explained simply.
“Thank you…”
The chanical maiden thanked him and then fell into confusion.
Luo Sheng looked at her puzzled, then asked, “What’s your na? Where are you from?”
“Alice.” After the chanical maiden answered, she looked completely bewildered, unable to rember anything else.
After Luo Sheng confird several tis, he found that this chanical maiden nad Alice had completely lost her mory, only rembering her na, forgetting everything else about other things, blank like a sheet of paper.
However, there was also a certain advantage, the amnesiac Alice developed a certain dependence on Luo Sheng at first sight.
Luo Sheng didn’t stand on ceremony either, that night when hunting a criminal he brought Alice along, letting her experience the process of being a bounty hunter.
Unexpectedly, Alice, who was originally just watching on the side, seed to awaken so kind of instinct.
Originally, when Luo Sheng was wearing the cha and fighting with a criminal worth 50,000 chanical coins bounty along with Acoley.
Seeing Luo Sheng locked in fierce combat with the criminal, she automatically jumped out and directly overwheld the criminal with powerful jujutsu.
Luo Sheng imdiately brought her back to the clinic.
After a series of examinations by Dr. Jack, they were inford of the situation: “She should be a modified person from the military, implanted with advanced chanical jujutsu that was lost 50 years ago, so she’s naturally a combat expert.”
Dr. Jack didn’t drive them out because Alice was a leftover from the military.
Instead, he told them about events that had happened in the past.
50 years ago, there was a war that changed the world, a long-lasting war between the Mars Federation and the Blue Star Alliance, with stellar fires raging throughout the universe.
In the end, both sides suffered nearly devastating blows, 80% of the regions were destroyed, a large number of innocent lives were sacrificed, and technology also regressed greatly as a result.
Neither side could support another epic war, so they reluctantly agreed to reconcile.
However, after the war passed, the world order had already collapsed.
The Blue Star beneath their feet only had a few sky cities left, maintaining a certain order in other continents of the world, people gathered around the sky cities, resulting in the current nearly insane and collapsing world.
Alice was probably a super soldier modified during that battle.
“I see.” Luo Sheng gained a new understanding of this world.
In the following days, Luo Sheng would always bring Alice to experience bounty hunter missions, and gradually, she could hunt criminals using Luo Sheng’s identity.
Luo Sheng also gave part of the money he earned to Dr. Jack, renting a room in his clinic, and asking him to take good care of Alice.
Dr. Jack nodded in agreent.
But Alice was reluctant to part, “Are you leaving? Although I know you don’t belong here, I didn’t expect the ti of departure to be so quick.”
Luo Sheng stroked the girl’s golden hair and delicate cheeks, comforting her, “Although I have unavoidable reasons to leave, I will still co back.”
Alice finally accepted and told Luo Sheng she would wait for him at the clinic.
Then, Luo Sheng left the clinic, found a place with no one around and left this world.
In his perception, currently, the ratio between the chanical wasteland world and the Card Master world he was in was 15:1, which ant that staying in the card world for 15 days only equated to 1 day passing in the original world.
The card in his hand continued to evolve.
After his departure, Alice beca stronger and stronger, she always used Luo Sheng’s bounty hunter identity to fight various criminals.
One day, she provoked a human organ trafficking organization, and fell into a bitter battle under their hunt.
The final scene froze on her fighting with the enemy.
The white card in Luo Sheng’s hand also glowed, finally becoming a bronze card: 【Battle Maiden – Alice】.
