12: Cybertron Psychosis, activate!

Fang Yun continued to read the notes on the Human Modification mode.

"Second, the Cyber Modification Pod does not support human modification where the cyberware capacity occupation value exceeds the cyberware capacity limit."

"Third, after undergoing human modification, if the remaining time until cyberpsychosis onset is less than 10 minutes, leaving the Cyber Modification Pod will not be permitted; if the remaining time until cyberpsychosis onset is less than 1 hour, after leaving the Cyber Modification Pod, the modification pod will broadcast the cyberpsychosis onset warning three times."

"Fourth, for cyberware installed during human modification, if there is no cyberware conflict, the cyberware capacity occupation value of the cyberware is 100%; if there are (n+1) pieces of cyberware in conflict, the cyberware capacity occupation value of each piece of cyberware is adjusted to (100+50×n)%."

"Fifth, ..."

...

After reading the notes, Fang Yun smacked his lips. "Hmm. These notes are all quite reasonable."

Then, Fang Yun opened the secondary information interfaces for Cyberware Capacity, cyberpsychosis Onset Probability/Remaining Time/Maximum Duration, preparing to understand them carefully to see if they were as he imagined.

Fang Yun nodded as he read the information on the secondary information interface.

At the same time, he muttered to himself:

"Hmm..."

...

"Oh?..."

...

"So that's how it is..."

...

Soon, Fang Yun had finished reading all the information on the secondary information interfaces.

Then, he closed the interface and struck a pose of someone who understands everything.

"OK, brothers. I've figured out the notes and related knowledge. Next, watch the operation of this 'Know-It-All'."

With that, Fang Yun quickly selected the cyberware needed for human modification.

"So you're called Cyberware Capacity, huh? Let me show you what 'Zero-Error Cyberware' is, with a cyberware capacity occupation value of zero."

(ps: Normal cyberware refers to cyberware that normally leads to cyberpsychosis. Corrective cyberware refers to powerful cyberware that automatically corrects the trend of cyberpsychosis onset, reducing the probability of cyberpsychosis onset to 1/100 of normal cyberware. Zero-error cyberware refers to cyberware that does not cause cyberpsychosis.)

Fang Yun established corresponding small production lines for the selected cyberware to ensure that he would have stock for replacement if the cyberware was damaged in the future.

Then, Fang Yun selected some weapons, armor, vehicles, and items, and also established corresponding small production lines.

Next, Fang Yun placed all the cyberware needed for human modification into the Human Modification Preparation slot of the Cyber Modification Pod.

Lying in the Cyber Modification Pod, Fang Yun felt pretty good.

"It's cool and refreshing. It should be quite comfortable to lie in here in the summer. In the winter, I might turn into an 'Ice Man'."

Watching the Cyber Modification Pod door slowly close, Fang Yun had the feeling of lying in a coffin.

"Emm..."

After the door was completely closed, Fang Yun only felt his vision go black. Then, an interface appeared in front of him, and at the same time, a mechanical, cold voice sounded in his ear.

"Esteemed user, you are about to undergo the following modifications. Please confirm:"

"Total Cyberware Capacity Occupation Value is 0. Modification allowed."

"cyberpsychosis Onset Probability 0%. After modification is complete, allowed to leave the pod. No cyberpsychosis warning will be broadcast."

"Esteemed user, would you like to proceed with the modification?"

(ps: The cyberware used by Fang Yun for human modification is based on "cyberpunk 2077" version 2.12, as well as an older version that the author has forgotten which one it was. At the same time, certain changes have been made to the original cyberware, so the names, affiliated systems, effects, etc., may differ from the latest version of "cyberpunk 2077".)

Fang Yun lay in the closed modification pod, unable to move, but he still subconsciously nodded.

"Of course. Proceed with modification."

A buzzing sound of machinery operating began.

"Esteemed user, human modification is in progress. Please wait."

After about ten minutes, the buzzing sound suddenly stopped. Then, after a few seconds, the mechanical, cold voice sounded again.

"Esteemed user, human modification is complete."

"Pssssst——"

Accompanied by the sound of gas leaking, the pod door slowly opened, and Fang Yun regained control of his body.

Jumping out of the modification pod, Fang Yun felt his body up and down, lifting his arms and legs to look around.

"Doesn't feel like much has changed. The quality of the bionic dermis that comes with the cyberware is good; it's so realistic. I can see clear pores and skin wrinkles even up close."

After marveling for a while, Fang Yun had a thought, and two Mantis Blades suddenly popped out from the outer sides of his arms.

After observing them carefully for a while, Fang Yun couldn't help but exclaim:

"Combining burning, thermal, electrical, and venom in one, putting these Mantis Blades into the game, unless a special mod is made that combines four damage types for the Mantis Blades, you wouldn't get them even by cheating."

"Strong. Truly strong."

Retracting the Mantis Blades, Fang Yun decided not to play with them just yet. What he was more interested in now was how the Gorilla Arms, Mantis Blades, Projectile Launch System, and Monowire were all integrated onto one pair of arms.

Activating the Gorilla Arms, Projectile Launch System, and Monowire one by one, Fang Yun found that the Projectile Launch System appeared on the upper side of the arm, the Monowire appeared on the inner side of the arm, and the Gorilla Arms primarily involved the wrist and palm swelling.

Rubbing his chin, Fang Yun had a good idea.

"What if I activate the Gorilla Arms, Mantis Blades, Projectile Launch System, and Monowire all at the same time?"

Thinking of it, he did it. Fang Yun directly activated all the cyberware installed on his arms.

Then, Mantis Blades appeared on the outer side of Fang Yun's arms, Monowire appeared on the inner side, the Projectile Launch System appeared on the upper side, and his wrists and palms swelled to 1.5 times their original size.

Fang Yun's mouth twitched.

"It's a bit abstract, folks. Although it looks quite cyberpunk, I estimate that the cyberware will definitely interfere with each other when used."

After fiddling for a while and satisfying his curiosity, Fang Yun hid the cyberware again.

"It's better to use whichever cyberware is needed. Try to avoid activating multiple cyberware simultaneously, otherwise, the interference between them is quite troublesome."

Emptying his backpack and quick access bar, Fang Yun planned to take some things and immediately set off for Night City.

"After a year of development, it's time to announce my arrival to this world."

"Now I have Fifth Order cyberware all over my body, and I don't even have a brain (the datafied body is an integration of the block rules, without flesh and blood in the conventional sense). I'm more like a cyberpsychosis than Valentine in the game. I wonder if Adam Smasher can withstand one punch from me."

"Let me see what's good to bring."

"One stack of gold ingots, one stack of bread, two water buckets, one heavy armed hovercar (Falcon), one heavy cargo hovercar (Owl), one high-end sports car (Sword), one heavy armed car (thunder), one heavy cargo car (Stronghold), one heavy armed truck (Mammoth), one heavy cargo truck (Elephant), one heavy armed motorcycle (Ghoul), one stack of high-grade cyberware 100% repair fluid storage boxes, one stack of general-grade equipment 100% repair fluid storage boxes, one stack of ultra-small primary pure steel universal normal bullet boxes, one stack of ultra-small primary pure steel universal normal grenade boxes, one stack of ultra-small primary pure steel universal normal rocket launcher boxes, one loading vest, one set of semi-intelligent electromagnetic charging technology firearm standard combination (including: rocket launcher (Thousand Spikes), grenade launcher (Meteor Hammer), sniper rifle (Telescope), heavy machine gun (Angry Wave), light machine gun (Torrential Rain), submachine gun (Rapid), assault rifle (Advance), pistol (Declaration), revolver (Final Sound)), one light combat mech (Striker), one heavy combat mech (Crusher), one heavy ceramic steel armor for the head, chest, hands, legs, and boots respectively, one large single-person force field defense shield."

"Hmm..., also bring a stack of wheat seeds, a stack of saplings, and a stack of wood."

"Oh, right, I almost forgot to bring the portal and portal key."

"Why do I always forget to bring the portal and portal key? Could I be getting senile? (laughs)"

Unable to think of anything else to bring for the moment, Fang Yun decided to just bring these things for now.

"Anyway, I have a portal. If I need anything else, I can just find a hidden place to teleport back to the Shelter or base and get it."

"Fully equipped and ready to go."

Fang Yun put the weapons, armor, and food in the quick access bar, thought for a moment, took out a shield and installed it in the off-hand slot, and also brought a set of iron tools. Then, he followed the Shelter passage to the surface.

(ps: In the current version, Fang Yun's backpack has 4×9=36 slots, and the quick access bar has 1×9=9 slots.)

Looking at the blocked Shelter passage, Fang Yun turned around without hesitation, took out the "thunder" (heavy armed car) from his backpack and placed it on the ground, then opened the car door and got in.

"Although there is no minimap, since there is a portal, I won't mark the outside of the Shelter passage."

(ps: The portals currently placed are: Mantle Tower Bottom, Base Center, Shelter Hall.)

Fang Yun stepped on the accelerator, and with the powerful roar of the engine, the "thunder" under him shot out like an arrow from a bow.

After making a wide turn, Fang Yun drove the "thunder" along the edge of the rock formation towards its end.

"Departing for Night City."
