The Daily Life Of A Cyberpunk Magician
Chapter 245 - 174: Capture Mu Jin First

Chapter 245: Chapter 174: Capture Mu Jin First

"Just drive carefully, and speak carefully," Jiang Shu slapped his hand, "What do you mean... the wound is more significant?"

"He underestimated the lethality of the grenade. If it weren’t for his half-mechanical body, he’d definitely be dead," Wolf sighed again.

"So, he’s still alive?" Jiang Shu’s heart eased slightly, as he had mentioned before, as long as you’re not dead in Lonely City, there’s still a great chance of returning to normal life.

"Yeah, but his condition is very bad," Wolf nodded and then shook his head, "His other half also suffered damage and needs to be replaced with prosthetics."

He paused before continuing, "But in this case, his gear’s Cyber Syndrome Immunity doesn’t meet the requirements. If he forcefully equips it, there’s a high probability he’ll become cyberpsychotic."

"Ah." Jiang Shu looked down, definitely not good news, but then he suddenly remembered something and asked, "What if we buy him an entry like ’Calm,’ the kind that can immunize against cyberpsychosis?"

"I’m already looking for one, but such entries are too scarce and in high demand," Wolf said helplessly, "You can pretty much rule this one out."

"I understand," Jiang Shu nodded. He had a similar entry, but he couldn’t lend a hand.

Extracting an entry with the highest-end technology could minimize the probability of becoming an idiot, but there was a limitation to the extraction itself.

It defaults to extracting the highest-level entry.

He could only extract ’Deception,’ which wouldn’t help Gary.

Jiang Shu looked towards the roadside.

They were almost at the police station.

Tang...

What would he say?

Images of what would happen 4 minutes and 25 seconds later appeared in his mind.

Every scene was hazy, every word distant, but he clearly knew what was about to happen.

Jiang Shu closed his eyes, easing his brain that was tired from using his ability.

This Mana issue was really hard to solve; it was seriously affecting his abilities in all aspects.

He had thought he could find a way to increase spiritual power at Du Yuyi’s place, through meditation, yoga, or something, but the answer he got was far-fetched.

Power and spirit intermingling?

The more power, the stronger the spiritual power?

What does any of this have to do with anything?

What kind of power could a Magician like himself master?

Becoming a top influencer? Dominating the entertainment industry? Controlling the Entertainment Series?

Any connection these things had with spiritual power...

Jiang Shu found it really hard to understand.

While Du Yuyi’s other points were somewhat credible, Jiang Shu remained skeptical about this one.

"Hm?" Jiang Shu suddenly opened his eyes; he could clearly feel that his Mana regeneration rate seemed to have increased from before.

It seemed...

Was his spiritual power improving?

So, he secretly used the Paper Card Technique to keep changing the faces of the cards.

Indeed, the Mana increased.

Jiang Shu made a judgment in his mind and, comparing with the times he used the Paper Card Technique in the past, it was now noticeably easier for him to control the Black Card.

But then, greater doubts arose in his heart.

Had he done anything recent to increase his Mana?

Uh.

Jiang Shu suddenly remembered his evening with sister Ruo.

"..."

This had nothing to do with power, and the Mana setting couldn’t be this perverse, right?

Jiang Shu would rather believe it was related to power.

Yes, he’d try with sister Ruo next time.

He made a decision in his mind.

How could a researcher’s pursuit be labeled as lecherous?

Unseen by Jiang Shu, A, B, C, Ding looked at each other and revealed helpless expressions.

They communicated over the network and had received the news at the same time.

The Taigong Dynasty...

Had taken down the adjacent street.

Those guys faced an opportunity of a lifetime, so they took it upon themselves to occupy the neighboring district.

They rallied under the banner of celebrating Taigong’s birthday, though none of them knew when Taigong’s birthday was, or even if anyone had seen Taigong.

But none of that mattered, they foolishly came to take credit, and A, B, C, Ding didn’t want to dampen their initiative, so after a verbal scolding, they rewarded them with some territory and money.

The territory rewarded was the one they seized.

The money rewarded was collected from local gangs.

Instead, the four of them pocketed half the unknown-origin black money, which they didn’t deposit directly into Jiang Shu’s account but stored in a secret account.

For investment purposes.

When it came to making money, virtually no one could compete with them.

Information is the best channel for making money, and in collecting and analyzing information, they, as silicon-based lifeforms, had the ability for dimensional strikes.

As for sneaking this money into Jiang Shu’s account, firstly, it was of no use, and secondly, it could easily attract suspicion from outsiders.

Although they still naturally considered the Taigong Dynasty beneficial for Jiang Taigong, they couldn’t help but worry.

With this rate of development, Jiang Shu would soon find out...

Hiss—

They’d have their flying abilities stripped from those responsible!

A and C looked at little Yi simultaneously, their large eyes filled with pity.

Yi: ???

"We’re here," Wolf parked the car.

"Yes," Jiang Shu nodded as he looked out the car window towards the police station in the deep night.

Most of the lights upstairs had gone out, with only a few lights still steadfast at their posts.

The light in Wolf’s office was on.
