Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

Westbrook, Cherry Street.

In the small square in front of the TURGO convenience store, several modified Ford Mustang cars were parked nearby, and the loud punk rock music was constantly playing.

Many cyberpunks equipped with various shiny metal prosthetics were sitting around three hot food stalls in the square, drinking beer and chatting happily.

Pila, a bearded man with slender arms and legs, nimbly held a plate with beer and performed acrobatic moves up and down in front of his friends and customers.

Dorio threw all the empty wine bottles towards Pyrrha, but they were easily caught by his slender prosthetic arms.

Pyrrha happily showed off her prosthetic arm: "My fingers are so awesome! Don't you think so?"

Dolio smiled helplessly: "Now everyone knows what you do with your fingers at night."

After speaking, he raised his hand and made two gestures in the air, causing everyone around him to laugh maliciously.

This made Pila seem even more happy and proud. She picked up the beer bottle and wiped it before speaking boldly:

"You're right, I can do this all day long!"

It once again detonated the whole audience, making everyone around laugh and applaud.

Team hacker Qi Wei is still wearing a red leather jacket with a tall figure, holding a cigarette under the mask, sitting at the table and tapping on her notebook.

Mann, who was sitting at the front of the car, looked at everything in front of him with a heavy expression.

Tomorrow is the day to go to the Whirlpool Gang to complete the transaction. He has asked Qiwei to deliberately leak the transaction information on the black market network.

Moreover, Qiwei also successfully captured the intrusion deciphering record from Arasaka Company, confirming that someone in Arasaka already knew about it. As for how Arasaka will act, it depends on Tang Yu's arrangements.

It's just that Mann is still waiting for someone, a special someone.

Whether the military-grade Sian Westan prosthetic body can be installed in the end depends on the entry of the two major companies Arasaka and Military Technology.

Just as Mann was thinking about it, his eyes were attracted by a burgundy long-seater limousine slowly parked in the square.

The car door opens.

The white-haired man in a burgundy suit walked down with a proud expression. His right eye was equipped with a special composite triple electronic prosthetic eye. He scanned everyone in the square and finally looked at Mann sitting at the front of the car.

Mann raised his head and looked at each other. The other person was exactly the person he was waiting for, a middleman with military technology behind his back.

Faraday.

Even though he had cooperated with him many times, Mann still had no trust in Faraday at all. There was one and only one reason for cooperating with Faraday, and that was to give him a lot of remuneration.

It is difficult to find a trustworthy and wealthy middleman in Night City. The ability, quality and credit quality of middlemen vary widely, so the standard for measuring middlemen is often remuneration.

Faraday is the kind of middleman with strong power and high remuneration in this area. Being backed by military technology companies makes him worthy of competition from other middlemen.

Mann jumped out of the car and took the initiative to walk up to Faraday. This time it was Faraday who he took the initiative to ask out, so he took the initiative and said: "I have important information to talk to you about."

Faraday put one hand in his trouser pocket and showed displeasure. In Night City, it is usually the middleman who arranges a way for cyberpunk to survive. In other words, the middleman is the financial backer of cyberpunk and has a natural status advantage.

"You'd better have important information."

Faraday looked at Mann arrogantly. He never had any respect for working cyberpunks. If Mann hadn't been a frequent collaborator, he wouldn't have made a special trip at all. The reason why he came this time was because It was entirely because Mann told him that intelligence and military technology were closely related.

"boarding."

Faraday took Mann back into the car, intending to complete the intelligence transaction in the car.

After the two got in the car, the car started.

Faraday was suspicious. He had definitely had a lot of dealings with military technology companies. Those corporate dogs were very arrogant. Cyberpunks like Mann had no chance of contacting them. The only possibility was that Mann obtained the information from other channels. He was the first to speak up and break the silence.

"Tell me, let me hear how much your information is worth."

Mann knew that Faraday's methods were insidious and cruel, but he had never been vague about remuneration, so he showed his cards directly:

"I have Cybermaniac James' military-grade Sian Westan in my hands."

Hearing this, Faraday, who was originally expressionless, suddenly frowned. He had already known the news about the missing prosthetic body, but he did not expect that it would fall into Mann's hands. However, it is not difficult to think about the whole process. It was Cyberpunk who found private channels to steal the cybernetic James' prosthetic body in order to become stronger, but Military Technology had no plans to recycle it, so he stopped paying attention to this matter.

Faraday: "It looks like you haven't installed it yet. If you want to sell this prosthetic body to military technology through me, I don't think it's necessary."

Mann shook his head and said: "I am not going to sell you a prosthetic body, but I want to sell you information, information about a transaction."

Faraday was quite disdainful: "Since you haven't installed it yet, I will give you some information first. This device is currently in the human testing stage. It is not a good thing to install it."

Mann: "It is precisely because this prosthetic body is in the experimental stage that Arasaka wants to get it, or to be more precise, get its human experimental data."

Faraday almost immediately thought of the core of this matter. Military Technology has no plans to recycle this prosthetic body for the time being, but that does not mean that Arasaka Company does not want to.

He sat up straight, turned his right triple prosthetic eye and stared at Mann, asking: "You mean Arasaka Company wants to get this prosthetic body. In that case, why don't you sell it to them?"

Mann: "Doing a deal with Arasaka without a middleman? I still want to live for a few more years. You have a background in military technology and you should understand the importance of this matter. I will be at the Watson Old Industrial Area at nine o'clock tomorrow evening We will trade with the Uzumaki Gang in the abandoned steel factory, and Arasaka’s special service personnel will definitely come to snatch this prosthetic body. I hope you can persuade Military Technology to take action.”

Faraday stared at Mann coldly, trying to distinguish the truth from falsehood in his words, and said after a moment of silence.

"It turns out that you want to use this bureau to clean up this prosthetic body, so as not to be targeted by the company like James, who was eventually forced to become a cybermaniac."

"Mann, I know you. You are absolutely incapable of doing this. It seems that you have found a new middleman or have new support."

Mann looked at Faraday's confident face and said he was in control of everything. He believed that he would never have imagined that the person he was cooperating with was the senior management of Arasaka Company. It would definitely be a wonderful show to cooperate with the people of Arasaka Company to deceive the people of Arasaka Company.

Mann neither denied nor admitted it. After all, he and Tang Yu only cooperated once and were not middlemen or new channels.

"This is the information I want to tell you. Whether you cooperate to ambush Arasaka or whether the prosthetic body is snatched away by them in the end depends on your opinion. I need this game to cleanse the prosthetic body, and you need this game to show your innocence. Military technology proves value.”

Faraday thought for a moment and thought that there were indeed some doubts in this transaction, but the risks were within control. What's more, as Mann said, he needed to prove his worth to military technology, that is, to deal with Arasaka.

"I think your information is good."

After speaking, he transferred 10,000 euros directly to Mann's electronic account.

"This is the deposit. If the plan is successful, we will pay the rest."

Faraday regained his aloof demeanor, parked the car back into the square, and let Mann get out of the car.

He picked up the red wine on the car's wine cabinet and shook it, then dialed the contact person at Military Technology
