Chapter 82 Lucy's Past (Happy Year of the Dragon to Everyone!)

The plot of "Edgewalker" is still going on. At the same time, the voting for this year's Newcomer Grand Prix has quietly begun during this period, along with the conclusion of last year's Newcomer Grand Prix.

However, of the four newcomer comics that originally participated last year, only three are left now.

Because one newcomer's work was directly cut off due to its low popularity.

After all, the comic culture company has a rule that if a work has been ranked last for four consecutive issues, or if its popularity has dropped by more than 20% for three consecutive times, it will announce the cutoff of this work.

Even newcomers are no exception.

So before the voting for the Newcomer Grand Prix began, a newcomer's work was directly cut off.

The remaining ones are naturally three newcomer works including "Edgewalker" and "Psychonauts".

There is no surprise that "Edgewalker" is far ahead of "Psychonauts" and another newcomer work.

After all, the popularity of "Edgewalker" is currently stable at the fourth or fifth place, and even the 23rd episode when Mann and Dolio left the stage once rushed to the third place.

This is simply not a ranking that a newcomer can reach.

Not to mention the small sensation inside and outside the circle, and even a lot of fans in the United States.

Even if we count the past 20 years, the comic magazines and the entire comic industry have never seen such a fierce situation of newcomers.

It can be said that Lin Qingshan and his "Edge Walker" are a record-breaking phenomenon of newcomers and new works in the past 20 years.

When the official website of Manjie started voting for the Newcomer Grand Prix, "Edge Walker" directly led by more than 18,000 votes, far ahead of the other two new works with only a few hundred votes.

How can this be compared? It can't be compared at all.

Especially since everyone knows that the winning works of the Newcomer Grand Prix will be made into animations and broadcast.

This makes the fans of "Edge Walker" even more excited, just to see the animation of "Edge Walker"!

In fact, Manjie has already decided to put the animation production of "Edge Walker" on the agenda.

At the same time, it is also planned to launch a complete set of single volumes directly after "Edge Walker" is completed.

After all, Edgewalker is indeed a phenomenal comic.

Its emerging cyberpunk genre was once very popular.

Edgewalker has not yet been finished.

Future science fiction comics similar to Edgewalker have appeared in the industry, and even the comic magazine has received many cyberpunk comics.

The main theme is to draw whatever is popular, and the main theme is the Republic speed.

Edgewalker is still serialized, and the latest episode 28 is also coming out.

But...

Zhou Wenwei opened the magazine directly, and before reading other works, he found the 28th episode of Edgewalker.

Episode 28 "The Past".

The first few episodes directly show David's life after becoming the new leader of the team and a big shot in Night City.

At the same time, the three-eyed client Faraday also found David and explained the purpose of military technology.

Following the plot of the previous episode, David directly crossed the prosperous city of Night City and returned to his new home.

As always, Lucy smiled and said to David who came to work, "Welcome home."

After that, David and Lucy started chatting like a family.

During the period, the screen also showed the ashes of David's late mother Gloria, as well as a photo of David and her when she was alive.

The two chatted together, sitting together with completely different bodies, which were obviously traces of prosthetic transformation.

But it was more sincere than any frank encounter.

After chatting and laughing for a while, David looked at Lucy.

"That..."

"Hmm?"

Lucy hummed in confusion.

"We are going to take a big order."

David said hesitantly.

"That's really exciting."

Lucy said with a smile.

"I mean...if you can join."

David said his true thoughts.

However, Lucy declined, "The team doesn't need two hackers now."

"You know I prefer..."

"David...please wait a little longer."

Lucy looked at David and said.

David looked at Lucy's serious eyes and chuckled, "Okay, then I understand."

"You sneaked in again today?"

David said, changing the subject.

"Yeah."

"Why don't you buy a good black customer service?"

"No need."

"We can buy the latest hacker chair, which will definitely... be more comfortable than the ice pool."

"Thank you, but I don't like wearing black customer service."

Lucy turned her face away and said in a depressed mood.

"Is that so... Sorry, I don't know."

David said, and took a sip of wine directly.

The young man who used to not drink has now become accustomed to the taste of wine.

Zhou Wenwei looked at it with some emotion.

At this time, Lucy looked at David and suddenly said, "That, David..."

"Come with me."

The scene changed, and the two drove a motorcycle to the wilderness outside Night City.

"This starry sky is great!"

David looked at the starry sky in front of him and said with a smile.

"You can't see such a scene in Night City, right?"

Lucy also said with a smile.

However, Zhou Wenwei looked at the starry sky in the comics. The starry sky was not so dazzling.

Not to mention beautiful.

But... when I think of the world in the comics where capitalism prevails and the environment is overdeveloped, then this not-so-beautiful starry sky is already a rare beauty in that world.

"Do you think I can catch a star?"

"Stupid..."

"I really hope we can see the moon..."

"The stars can only be so bright when the moon is not out..."

"Is that so?"

...

David and Lucy looked at the starry sky and laughed happily.

Such warmth... is really good.

Especially living in Night City where you don't know when you will suddenly die.

"For me... this is the first time I leave Night City."

David said with some emotion.

"Is that so..."

Lucy suddenly felt depressed.

David stared at the starry sky and asked, "Have you lived outside Night City?"

Hearing this, Lucy's eyes were depressed and a little sad.

"Looking at Night City from here, it's like a cage made of flashing lights."

In the Night City that David and Lucy were looking at, the flashing neon lights were clearly visible even at night.

It really looked like a cage.

"Before, you said that I was different from you, remember?"

David suddenly talked about the previous things.

Zhou Wenwei also suddenly remembered the scene in episode 15?

"Do you want to know?"

Lucy asked David in response.

David said slowly, "I just... want to know you better."

And at this moment, Lucy finally began to open her heart to David and talked about her unbearable past.
