The All-Master of Cyberpunk

Cyberpunk All Masters - Episode 16

16. It's Called Renting

Park Hyung-rok nodded and answered my request with a smile.

“You mean Uncle Chang-su, right?”

Yes, that was the name. Kim Chang-su, to be exact. Though his nickname "Meister" was more memorable.

He was a top-notch engineer who maintained vehicles, following you wherever you moved.

For someone like me, who constantly needed to run raids, vehicle upgrades were a necessity, not a choice.

In the world of Seoul 2056, even motorcycles with almost tank-like protection could easily get wrecked. Surviving efficiently in such a harsh environment meant vehicle modifications were mandatory.

However, given the late hour, I thought it would be best to rest and visit him tomorrow.

“Well, well, of all the engineers you could find, you picked me. You’ve got a good eye, young man.”

“Uncle Chang-su?”

“It just so happens that I’m on duty tonight. Park Hyung-rok, have you become so lax that you don’t even know who’s on duty?”

“Oh.”

Despite the dim lighting, his impressive frame was evident. Even Park Hyung-rok, who had a soldier-like build, looked like a twig next to him.

Meister Kim Chang-su.

He was Seoul 2056's official jack-of-all-trades engineer, capable of fixing anything from small electric scooters to fighter jet engines. The only thing he couldn’t fix was his shiny bald head.

I stood up and extended my hand to Kim Chang-su.

“I’m Lee Do-jin, a hunter from the Chilgok Guild.”

“Kim Chang-su. Even after the world turned upside down, you’ve managed to keep your bike in top condition.”

Of course, I wasn’t the one who maintained it. It was the legacy of a now-deceased biker gang leader, but Kim Chang-su had no way of knowing that. He showed a very favorable reaction.

“Most hunters don’t realize how important their vehicles are. They don’t understand that their lives depend on them.”

Naturally, Kim Chang-su was a staunch engine fanatic.
