Cyber Edge: Selling Cans in Night City

Adam Smasher's Diary:

I got beaten up before I went full borg, so I replaced my whole body with cyberware. And now I'm still getting beaten up? Did I give up my flesh and blood for nothing?

So you all got strong by buying capsules! You think you're the only ones who can buy them? I'll buy some too!

Why do I never get a good capsule? I hear those bald guys can improve your luck. Starting today, I'll help old ladies cross the street, become Night City's model citizen, and do good deeds to build up my karma!

I've nearly sold all my cyberware, and I really can't afford any more capsules. Arasaka fired me, so now I can only scavenge junk and deliver packages to save up for capsules!

Today, I swallowed my pride for a five-star review while delivering a package! I begged him on my knees to give me five stars!

Night City Resident: I saw Adam Smasher scavenging junk to eat yesterday.

Junk Scavenger: Haven't seen you before. New around here? You look pitiful, so here's a tip: this bakery dumps its junk every day at ten. Just keep an eye on that bin.

Lucy: Boss~ Can't you make it a little cheaper~

Rebecca: Huh, if I eat this Fish-Fish Fruit, I won't turn into a dead fish, will I, boss?!
