Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

A purple modified car was speeding down the street, heading towards the Santo Domingo Valley area.

Mann sat in the driver's seat, controlling the steering wheel with one hand and dialing the phone at the same time.

"Falco, come on, pick them up now. The address will be sent to you. Meet at the destination. Remember to bring everyone with you. Hurry up!"

After hanging up the phone, Mann sent a message to the rest of the team to get them ready.

In the passenger seat, Dolio asked in a deep voice: "Is it the company's business again?"

Mann nodded and replied helplessly: "That's right, let's protect a person named Matteo. He is targeted by military technology."

Seeing Dolio's solemn look, he added: "What Gloria means is that there is a high probability that military technology will not take action directly. She will find a way to stop it. The opponent we need to be wary of may be our peers. .”

Dolio seemed to have thought of something.

When companies don't want to go head-to-head, they often appoint middlemen to select mercenaries to complete the task.

For example, the mission Mann's team received came from Faraday, but the real sponsor was military technology.

In addition, major gangs are also the targets of the company's frequent care. Assassinations, kidnappings, experiments and other shady ways of survival will be handed over to them.

That's why Mann believed that the opponent in this mission might be a colleague.

Dolio continued to analyze carefully: "If the company does not end it personally, it means that the matter may not be so critical. That time at the abandoned steel plant was already a large-scale hot conflict between the two companies."

Mann wasn't sure how big the enemy would be, but judging from Gloria's tone and reward, it wouldn't be that simple.

"You are right. What happened that night has not even been reported yet. It is most likely that it was concealed. If it really comes out, Night City will probably start another bloody storm."

"But the remuneration offered by Gloria is a flat price of one hundred thousand euros."

Dolio's pupils suddenly shrank: "So high?"

Obviously, in order to protect one person, spending such a high price shows that the mission goal is extremely important.

Mann then added: "They want to survive, so I informed others to come as soon as possible. We must be prepared to fight a tough battle."

Dorio also agreed with Mann's approach. The higher the reward, the higher the risk factor of the mission. It would be too careless for the two of them to just try to eat it.

In the mercenary business, only by being careful can you sail a ship of ten thousand years. A careless move may cost your life.

Just as they were rushing to their destination at full speed, a phone call came, which made Mann's mood fall to the bottom.

Faraday?

Mann vaguely sensed something. He might have been caught in the battle between the two giants again.

Seeing that he looked strange, Dolio quickly asked: "Mann?"

Mann hesitated for a moment, and at this moment he was also deeply entangled.

I am afraid that the job he is taking now and Faraday's purpose are completely conflicting and irreconcilable.

Even the goal of both parties is the same, Matteo.

This means that Mann can only choose one of two options: continue to insist on fulfilling Gloria's commission, or answer Faraday's call and fulfill his commission.

Mann gripped the steering wheel tightly with his thick hands and gritted his teeth.

Based on the current call situation between the two companies, he is probably the first to approach Matteo.

Whoever he hands over to Matteo will be the winner of this game.

Mann suddenly thought of that dream, a dream that couldn't be more real, the kind of loss of control caused by the Tanaka case.

After He Meng woke up, Lao Wei's instructions to him and Tang Yu's secret help to him.

Mann seemed to have decided something and simply hung up Faraday's call. Answering his call at this time would be more harmful than helpful.

"It's Faraday calling. Damn it, I'm afraid things are not that simple."

Dolio was also very surprised. Faraday's call at this point could only mean one thing.

Military technology also took action.

Matlio, whom Gloria wants to keep, is also the target that Military Technology wants to capture.

Due to a certain default rule, Arasaka and Military Technology did not want a larger-scale conflict to break out on this matter, so they found other companies to do the work for them.

The next team chosen by both sides happened to be the Mann team.

Dorio suddenly felt a headache, and she didn't expect to be involved in a whirlpool again.

When two behemoths tussle secretly, it often affects other people.

Knowing that Mann rejected Faraday, she expressed her support for Gloria.

As for Gloria becoming a middleman under Arasaka Company, they have already seen it.

Since then, the Mann team has been cut off from the middleman Faraday line.

They knew that Faraday was cruel and showed no regard for human feelings, and that anyone who refused him would be an enemy.

Dolio can already imagine Faraday's suppressed rage after being rejected. He is the kind of person who doesn't get angry and will only use ten times the cruelty to make the other party regret it.

After Mann hung up Faraday's phone, he turned left and ran onto the viaduct, then stepped on the accelerator and sped towards the destination of the broken bridge.

at this time.

Tang Yu took Gloria down the third floor and left the small square in full view of the military science and technology special service team.

The Delamain car was still waiting at the spot, and the rear door opened automatically.

Tang Yu held the car door, helped Gloria get into the car first, and then followed him and sat in.

"Mr. Tang, Delamain is happy to continue serving you. Where is your next destination?"

Tang Yu briefly observed Gloria's condition and asked, "Do you want to see a prosthetic doctor?"

Gloria covered her head and explained weakly: "I'm fine, I'm much better."

Seeing this, Delamain interrupted and said: "Delaman Special Car can provide you with high-quality medical package services. You can purchase them at different levels. In addition, we have cooperated with the trauma team to jointly launch medical packages."

Tang Yu knew that Lao De had this kind of virtue and used every opportunity to advertise, so he interrupted him directly.

"Do you know about the bridge that was broken due to construction in the Santo Domingo Valley area?"

The bald Draman on the electronic screen had an expressionless face. He quickly retrieved the map and replied: "The address has been searched and confirmed. Please fasten your seat belt. We will set off immediately."

Tang Yu leaned over and helped Gloria pull out the seat belt and fasten it. There was likely to be a tough battle later, and she could only let her endure it for a while longer.

Gloria gradually woke up from her dizziness, and the built-in biological system began to repair itself. Although it was slow, the results were obvious.

Suddenly, she received a call from Mann. She endured the dizziness and answered the call, and soon learned about Mann's situation.

After the call ended, Gloria reported the situation to Tang Yu carefully to avoid missing any important information.

"Mann also received a call from Faraday?"

Tang Yu frowned slightly, feeling that it was somewhat inappropriate to arrange for Mann to protect Matteo.

The main consideration at the beginning was that Gloria, as the middleman, needed to strengthen Mann's line. At the same time, the completion of each commission was very good, so the first thing that came to mind was Mann.

Now it seems that it may be more appropriate to arrange for Jack to go, but there is also a problem. With Jack's strength alone, he may not be able to withstand the men of military technology. Letting Jack go alone will harm him.

Fortunately, Mann rejected Faraday and chose to insist on completing Gloria's commission. This letter of submission can already show his sincerity.

From now on, Tang Yu can feel more confident about Mann's line, and he can be included in the circle of friends.

Although Mann rushed to the scene of the incident first, Tang Yu could not guarantee that Mann could complete the task 100%.

If Faraday couldn't work for Mann's team, there would naturally be other channels, and the military technology chips couldn't rest solely on Faraday.

What other forces can military technology use?

Tang Yu sat back on the leather chair and thought quietly.

Gloria on the side kept silent obediently, knowing that no matter how many problems she had at this time, she should hide them in her heart and wait until the matter was resolved before raising them.

Excluding the mercenaries who can do the job, the only ones left are the gangs who love to work as thugs for the company.

The first choice is naturally the Animal Gang, a group of genetically modified rough guys who dare to take any job as long as they are paid.

When Tang Yu returned to Night City, the people who attacked him were members of the Animal Gang, who were known for their ferocity and brutality.

The other is the Six Street Gang, which has a deep connection with military technology. This gang is basically composed of veterans and has a very complex composition.

It has a lot to do with military technology, and its sphere of influence covers the Santo Domingo Valley area, and it has always been unable to deal with the Valentino Gang.

According to the current situation, military technology can no longer be hidden, and it is very likely that people from the Sixth Street Gang will be invited to take action. The probability is very high.

Tang Yu thought about it carefully and felt that it was indeed very reluctant to let Mann and others complete the task. The group of brainless fools from the Animal Gang alone were enough for them to drink a pot.

So Tang Yu dialed Jack's number again.

Soon, the call was connected.

Tang Yu went straight to the point and said: "Jack, it's time for the Valentino Gang to repay the favor."

At that time, he promised Jack to help find someone, and finally paid Gloria out of his own pocket to complete the task and successfully rescued Riley Hein.

Although he had his own intentions in it, the thing was done for the Valentino gang after all, and this favor should be repaid. After all, no one is a free philanthropist, and Tang Yu is certainly not one.

Jack agreed without hesitation: "Hey, no problem. Their boss has long wanted to repay this favor. Hermano (brother), you know that Valentino has nothing but great loyalty."

"Valentino is very grateful to you about Riley Hein, so if you have anything to say, tell me straight away and I'll go and shake things up for you!"

Tang Yu was not polite and said directly: "The Sixth Street Gang may have a big move today. They are constructing a broken bridge in the river valley area. No matter what they do, they must be stopped by me."

"Mann is rushing there now, we must not let anything happen to them."

Jack quickly understood, and then promised: "I understand, I will contact Valentino right now. I happen to be playing cards here, and we will follow him later."

Tang Yu urged: "Pay attention to safety."

Jack smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry, we are going to beat those cripples until they can't even hold up the crutches."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but his mind was still running and thinking.

Now the people in the company department can't touch it. When it comes to Michiko's private life, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

And he didn't want to continue to escalate the head-on conflict with military technology. The two giants should fight, but Tang Yu shouldn't be the one to cause trouble.

Otherwise, when there is a big problem, there will be no other person except him.

"You can't be that Chao Cuo."

Tang Yu rubbed his tense brows and felt that being a company dog ​​was really much more tiring than doing cyberpunk work.

In the past, there was no need to care about so many things. A group of living hell kings were everywhere, looking at life and death and doing whatever they wanted.

It's just that Tang Yu has experienced too many life and death, and he is actually a little scared, afraid of seeing people around him leave him one by one.

A life filled with passion is indeed impassioned enough, but in the end, who is going to clean up the chicken feathers all over the floor?

He didn't want another great destruction. Although he was tired, at least he still had enough cards to mediate and change something.

Perhaps it was unintentional, but the company dog's path turned out to be pretty good.

If you want money, you have money, and if you want power, you have power.

At least staying under the giant tree in Arasaka can allow the remaining shade to protect more people.

Besides, isn't it bad to be a moth?

The deserted slopes are empty and the belly is fattened.

Tang Yu complained a little, how could he compare himself to a worm? Isn't Arasaka Yorinobu the king of worms?

His thoughts were flying further and further, and Tang Yu didn't know what he was thinking about.

Gloria next to him said nothing and could only watch with concern, looking slightly anxious.

She seemed to be blaming herself for not being able to help. Things had reached this point and were no longer within her control.

We must be literary but not literary, and we must be strong but not forceful. The only thing we can do is to cheer up and be a good intermediary to communicate information.

This was the first time for Gloria to see Tang Yu so tired. Maybe this time it really put a lot of pressure on him.

But just now, when faced with Moir, who was about to lose control, and surrounded by layers of military technology, Tang Yu remained calm and walked out of the small square calmly, leaving the military technology people helpless.

Everything seemed to be a sure win, but now sitting in the car, he looked tired.

Gloria guessed that maybe because there were no outsiders in the car, she no longer cared about it and lowered her guard.

While working hard to be a good intermediary, she really gained a lot and gained a lot of experience.

I am no longer as busy as I used to be until dark every day, and I fall asleep on the sofa when I get home.

It’s about having the time and energy to think about some things and to work with different people on different tasks.

This seemed to open the door to a new world for her.

Cruel companies, evil gangs, horrific experiments, etc., staged one drama after another, constantly refreshing her knowledge and outlook.

She used to work in a public medical center, running around providing emergency care to the disabled.

Many lives are abandoned and thrown into public morgues to wait for death because they do not have adequate medical expenses.

These cruelties and callousness actually made her feel infinitely numb.

But after the car accident, everything began to change. To a certain extent, it was the first time she saw another side of Night City.

The Ember Restaurant overlooks the bustling streets, the luxurious shopping at Jinguji Temple, David's internship at Arasaka Company, etc., everything is an unprecedented experience.

Slowly, she changed.

I became able to communicate well with David and understand David's pain and discomfort in the college. I became able to communicate with Mann and others about cooperation matters, and I felt confident.

And all these changes are actually inseparable from one person, who is sitting next to him.

Tang Yu.

In fact, she had been afraid and hesitated.

But now she felt like a slight fire was reigniting inside her.

Gloria clasped her fingers tightly, as if she wanted to say something, but was afraid of being disturbed, so she could only sit silently in her seat and observe with the corner of her eyes.

She had a vague realization that even if she was just a chess piece, she would work hard to become the most crucial one!

Delamain was driving on autopilot at this time, and the wheels were rolling towards the destination. Seeing that the atmosphere in the car seemed a bit dull, he said with a mechanical accent.

"When you are tired, you always need some soothing music. Do you need a music package for you?"

Tang Yu closed his eyes to rest, and said in a cold tone: "Lao De, don't go too far. Don't pluck the wool as hard as you see the company."

Delaman's mechanical voice said calmly: "Of course, this music package is specially prepared by Delaman for you. You don't need to pay any amount. You can listen to it for free."

Gloria felt a little speechless. She suspected that Delamain was too good at getting off the road. She heard that Tang Yu's tone was not right, and she immediately changed the direction and offered no charge.

Tang Yu doesn't like Lao De, but he is an 'old friend' after all, and he doesn't want to argue with him too much.

"If you don't need music, how long will it take to reach your destination?"

Draman said sternly: "According to the current traffic conditions, it is estimated that we will arrive at the destination in seventeen minutes and six seconds. Are you in a hurry? We can contact other partners for you to travel with floating vehicles."

The price of an aerial vehicle is completely different from that of a ground car. The cost of one ride on the ground Delama is worth the monthly salary of an ordinary job, let alone riding an aerial vehicle.

Naturally, Tang Yu would not be fooled by Delamain. Instead, he opened his eyes again and said in a joking tone: "Lao De, I suggest you make less suggestions in the future and dare to keep an eye on my wallet, right?"

Draman explained politely: "Of course not. You are now a rising star in the Arasaka Company. Your salary and hidden income are enough to pay for any services you want. Draman is just matching you with the travel method that best suits your status. Draman Big data algorithms are infallible.”

Tang Yu and Gloria were both amused by Lao De. This guy is obviously an AI, but he doesn't know where he learned this glib tongue.

Tang Yu mentioned some past events: "Are your little virtuosos still obedient?"

Back then, he and his wife made a commission for Lao De, which was to hunt down several of his 'sons' and 'daughters'.

They are said to be sons and daughters, but they are actually an extended AI program. In the end, these AI programs became autonomous and began to bite back on Lao De himself.

So much so that I had to ask outsiders for help. Now it seems that the little virtuosos are still very obedient.

Delamain pretended to be amazed: "Mr. Tang, how do you know about them? But thanks to you, everything went smoothly."

Tang Yu knew that Lao De was hiding something. This old guy was running around Didi in Night City. He was well-informed and knew more secrets than anyone else.

But he never showed any hostility towards humans, so Tang Yu didn't force Lao De too much.

Tang Yu's eyes fell out of the car window. Delamain had already driven towards the viaduct and was not far from his destination.

Instant Noodles: "Johnny, come out to pick up the customer!!! The boss of 'No ID, no phone call' is giving a reward to the leader!!!"

Johnny: "So you just stand there, clutching your keyboard, watching movies and dreaming about the future?"

Instant Noodles: "Can I add a role for you?"

Johnny: "OK, so what does he want?"

Instant Noodles: "Let me say a few blessings and thank you!"

Johnny: "Have fun, don't call me if you don't have an ID, I'll wait for you at home."
