I'm not a cyberpsycho

Night Knight K likes to stand on the top of the Night Tower late at night, overlooking the dirty, chaotic and disordered world below with the gargoyles around him. It seemed that as long as she climbed high enough, towering into the sky, she would not smell the stench emanating from the hot and humid wind in this city that was filled with mud, filth and blood.

But this moment of tranquility is just a short-lived illusion. In this world, no one can emerge from the mud without being stained. Those monsters hidden in the darkness will always look for your breath, chase after your shadow, and take advantage of you. The flaw in your spirit goes straight into your heart.

"Hey, where's the squatting pit?"

K turned his head and glared at the ninja in a raincoat squatting on the head of the ghoul next to him.

"You... come down! This is an antique specially transported from 077, don't step on it!"

"Well……"

Li Pan had no choice but to stand on tiptoe and jump to K's side like a frog.

"Hey sisters, what do you think? Can you lend me your motorcycle for two days?"

K took a deep breath, wishing to draw out the sword and kill people, but she is the calm type. The guy in front of her came and went without a trace. He was a master that he had never seen in these years, and the brief fight before was really a little bit... I can't get it cheap, so I have to be patient.

"disappear as far as you can."

Li Pan also scratched his head.

"No, it's been so many days. No matter what, you can still find out what that car is, right? Hey, that thing Tianyuan will definitely be recycled. Can you keep it?"

Why, if you can't let go of Serena, you can upload her personality settings and memory data to the cloud. Can't you just transfer it to a different device? "

K narrowed his eyes. The other party knew everything about Serena and must be spying on him secretly. It is unheard of to be tracked and monitored without either yourself or the company's system noticing. It seems that the natives of Gao Tianyuan do have some abilities.

"You guys are really clever in this trick. You secretly hid the genuine Tiancongyun Sword in my place. No wonder the Senate dug deep and searched all over the Night City, but they never expected that the key to Gao Tianyuan was hidden right under their noses.

But do you think, why should I give the key back to you? I'll just hand the car over to the prince and change it to the position of elder. "

Li Pan understood,

"Why, you still want to negotiate the price, right?"

K did not deny it, "There is no free lunch in the world. If you want to get anything from the company, you must pay a corresponding price."

Li Pan smiled, "Oh, is it equivalent exchange? Do you think Gao Tianyuan's key is priceless, worthless, or something in between?

However, I guess you don't really care at all? If the person in power now was the prince of your Cornelius family, you would probably hand over the key to the family without any hesitation.

But it just so happens that the person sitting in the Tower of Night now is Maxim from the Fabius family. I see that you, the chief knight, have been sent out to patrol the streets, and you probably aren't doing very well.

Just handing over your car like this, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get a seat as a senior citizen without a place to sit on it. I'm not willing to accept it. "

K frowned, but did not deny it, "Do you have a good feel for Ye Shi..."

Li Pan doesn't know. He has killed so many princes with his own hands, let alone touched them with his own hands...

Moreover, after actually getting along with K, Li Pan also knew that K was actually quite indifferent. He was not just pretending to be an iceberg beauty, but was actually physically and psychologically cold and indifferent. After all, she was just a decoration made by Prince Cornelius in memory of his daughter. There was no essential difference between it and a vase or a sword.

Even her current body structure, Li Pan has clearly confirmed that it is a specialized combat-type Blood Knight prosthesis. The appearance of the body is similar to that of a human, but in order to facilitate high-intensity fighting and repair, a large number of redundant functions have been deleted internally. , none of those plug-ins for pleasure, not even much of a pain processing unit.

That is to say, when she was lying on Li Pan's neck and slurping blood, she would inevitably have a bit of vampire passion, but when she sucked it, she would scream "oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh" like a sow. Compared to this guy, he is really cold...

Li Pan thought for a while, took out a teaching chip, transcribed the divine sect's introductory exercise "Blood Refining Dao Breath" and handed it to her.

"I have a secret book here that improves combat effectiveness. Vampires can awaken their potential and greatly improve their combat effectiveness by practicing it. You don't need something like the Holy Grail to improve your rank. Try it."

K narrowed his eyes and looked over with a look that said, "I believe you are a ghost."

Li Pan was also speechless.

"Really, you will know after you try it! Okay, okay, tell me the number? Or do you have any wishes? I will make an exception and grant you three."

"Are you a magic lamp? You..."

K thought for a moment,

"Your strength far exceeds mine, and you know all my details. If you want, you can take back Tiancongyun Sword at any time, but you took the initiative to contact me, which shows that you don't want to make the matter bigger and alert the Ye Group. "

Li Pan nodded.

So K made an offer,

"The Amancong Cloud Sword is indeed a big trouble. I can give it to you, but you have to exchange it for the Kusanagi Sword."

Oh, yes, this motorcycle model is indeed quite handsome. It's not difficult. The Tokugawa family also has the Kusanagi sword. You can probably get it by asking Tokugawa Chihime to play coquettishly with her father...

"Also, you're pretty good at it, so do me a favor."

Um? What kind of missed branch line is this?

After talking about it, it turned out that this time it was indeed a new plot. It was a task recently assigned to K by the Ye Group.

Go to a specific place at a specific time, kill a few people, and rob a batch of goods without exposing your identity. It can be described as a classic corporate secret war.

As the chief knight, K is also familiar with this process. But the problem is that the difficulty of this mission is obviously a bit too high.

"The company they belong to, the security unit, the number of people and equipment, I didn't find anything."

K took Li Pan to her secret base and showed Li Pan a blurry screenshot of the suitcase.

"The other party's ability to keep secrets is far superior to Ye's intelligence department. It is probably a large company at the heaven level, or even someone from the Security Bureau. What is certain now is that the box is a constant-temperature custom-made from another world. A refrigerated box, which may contain some kind of living biological sample.

The person escorting this box will arrive at the Night City Airport tomorrow night, clear customs through special channels, and send the stuff to space legally. In this way, whoever tries to seize it will trigger the security system alarm, and the company and customs will jump directly to the fleet to escort it. .

However, after customs clearance, the specific movement method used by the other party and even the transportation destination are uncertain. Therefore, the time window for action is probably only when the target appears within the airport, less than an hour before customs clearance..."

Li Pan glanced at the information collected by K.

"What, have you offended someone? The boss is deliberately trying to punish you, right?"

K was silent for a while, probably acquiescing.

Isn't this obvious? Although almost all companies nowadays will do some small things under the table, the illegal actions of directly killing people and stealing goods are still quite sensitive.

After all, the act of snatching this kind of super technology and blueprint samples is almost equivalent to ignoring the committee's laws and regulations. If it goes wrong, it will cause a corporate war.

What's more, this time it's Ye's Group. As a local property management company, if it takes action on its own territory, the impact will be even worse.

Therefore, K's action this time was definitely not part of Ye's system business. It had no budget, no knowledge and no approval. It was a dirty job in private.

If you succeed or get no prizes, it’s all because of your superior’s guidance. If something goes wrong, it’s all because of the incompetence of the people below you. Just dismiss it and get rid of it. If you do it three times in a row, you won’t even know if someone is looking at you for no reason. It's pleasing to the eye, and I'm deliberately trying to trick you.

Well, it seems that this week Li Pan really doesn't have time to engage in vampires and clear the Tower of Night, so Ye's side is also itchy and has begun to engage in involution.

Then Li Pan also understood,

"Oh, so you want me to take action? To give you a surprise?"

What else could it be? This kind of mission with insufficient information is too risky. If you are not careful, you will offend a big company. K is not stupid. Of course, he will subcontract through layers of layers and find someone to take the blame.

K spread his hands and said, "You can do it or not, of course I will support you."

It doesn't matter to Li Pan, anyway, killing people in the company, robbing the company's things, and damaging the company are all his daily routine, but...

"It seems that now that the Fabius family is in power, you are not doing well. Why don't you think more openly and retreat bravely?

They will still be in power for a hundred years. How many hundred years do you have to waste with them? Sooner or later, someone will kill you. "

K, "...it's none of your business."

Tsk, so not cute...

Forget it, the beauty of the iceberg must be melted with passion, so the two of them planned to go to the airport to set off a few bombs, then explode them randomly, pretending to be Koga ninjas to launch a terrorist attack, and then K secretly The department was responsible for long-range sniper support, and Li Pan took advantage of the chaos to grab things.

This mission is not difficult at all. After all, the key is to steal the box. Li Pan feels that he doesn't even need to use his real skills. He can just put on the robe and hide himself, and just do whatever he wants.

The difficult part is actually how to escape after stealing something.

There must be something to say about that kind of custom-made thermostatic preservation box, and it cannot be dismantled casually, but mechanisms such as tracking and locating self-destruction are definitely indispensable.

At that time, not to mention the company, even the three-headed dog of the Security Bureau will chase after him. If he is really a valuable guy with a fatal life, he might be shot down by a space-based railgun.

K means to drill into the dam after success to prevent the company from using heavy firepower, and to use the complex pipeline network of Tokyo underground city to throw off the pursuers.

Li Pan didn't have any objections at first, but after walking around the airport, he knew he had to change his plan.

"Hey, did you see the stewardess in the miniskirt who passed me to the left? She has a carp tattooed on her butt."

K, "...you want to solve the physical problem, and go to Yoshiwara by yourself after finishing the business."

Li Pan rolled his eyes. Is he someone who needs to spend money to solve physical problems?

"That guy is the local general manager of BYB, and he has a legion in the underground city. Send a drone to check the nearby sewers and drains, and check deeper. The optical invisibility is very powerful."

K was silent for a while,

"A large number of spiders were found lurking..."

"Is that true? The escape route from the dungeon may be blocked..."

Li Pan went to the vending machine and took a can of Cool Baboon, and looked at the apron where various shuttles were parked.

"There is a one-eyed dragon among the porters at the airport. Do you recognize him?"

K, "Young master of the Yagyu family... and the Ghost Army... you have good eyesight. Do you have Hayabusa's ninja skills? Who else have you discovered?"

Li Pan drank up the cool baboon,

"Haha, I glanced over, and there were only a few VKs coming and going in the waiting hall. They were all BBA bionics in formal suits.

Mu De, the company dog ​​is on a business trip, when did the budget become so high? Tell me if there is any problem. "

K is not stupid either, "Are you all here for that box? What on earth is that..."

Li Pan, "I'll go ask."

K, "Go...hey!"

But Li Pan had already turned off the communicator and sat in front of an old man drinking coffee.

"Hey, Murphy from ARGUS Tech, right? We met at the banquet."

The old man looked at Li Pan,

"My prosthetic body has been replaced with another one, and you still recognize it? You are indeed an elite chosen by TheM..."

After all, it’s you who wants to come over and shake hands, so I’ll just put a blood seal on you.

"I said, why are so many of you gathering here? Are you planning to start a team? Hey, are you here to grab something? What is so valuable?"

The old man smiled but did not answer.

Li Pan also laughed,

"Why, you have to force me to grab it and study it myself?"

The old man smiled and shook his head,

"There are so many people here, do you have what it takes?"

Li Pan chuckled, took out a remote control and put it on the table.

"It doesn't matter. At worst, I will detonate the bomb in advance to warn the rightful owner, and everyone's trip will be in vain. Let's see if you have more time or I have more time."

The old man looked at the remote control, then at Li Pan, and said with a smile,

"You do not dare……"

Li Pan clicked and pressed it.

But the bomb didn't explode.

"Huh? Oh, the signal was blocked by you, right? Hackers are really powerful.

But it doesn’t matter, this is an airport, and I can trigger the cyberpsychosis security alarm even if I sit on a folding stool. "

Li Pan picked up the folding stool and started to leave. The old man quickly grabbed him.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Qiu Shan, please sit down, Mr. Qiu Shan. If you have something to say, please have a cup of coffee."

So Li Pan sat down again,

"Clear coffee does not release milk. Drinking too much dairy products will affect my stealth effect."

Murphy nodded helplessly and ordered him a cup of clear coffee.

"You're still asking, it's not what you said."

"I said...chicken? Hiss...Pangu?"

Murphy nodded and shook his head.

"It hasn't been hatched yet. It should still be an egg. It's a semi-finished biochip, a proofing chip used for standard value verification. But in theory, it should be ready for implantation."

Li Pan was not surprised. He drank the bitter coffee and wrinkled his nose.

"Good guys, you even dare to steal Pangu's things. Pfft, it smells like bleach, it must have been washed with tap water..."

Murphy didn't care, drinking coffee,

"It's not considered Pangu. The biochip can't pass the test. It's a prototype produced by Xiaoxi Research Institute based on the HT blueprint. The final packaging and implantation has not been completed, but it will be soon.

Chaos Technology does not have a local FAB in 0791. They rented a satellite laboratory in PLANTS and planned to secretly send the chip there and use the Sons of Dorn customized by Dawn to complete the actual installation and packaging test. By then, Pangu would have been born.

Haha, so you understand, it’s hard to grab this thing once it’s in the sky, so I let the news out and hired some helpers to muddy the waters. "

Li Pan was speechless,

"Ah? No, Konishi's technology OEM? Takamagahara's technology?

I said, is that okay? Is there anything worth fighting over for these chips made by indigenous people? "

But Murphy actually looked at Li Pan strangely,

"Gao Tianyuan's skills are not good enough? Aren't you a local? How could you have such an idea?"

Li Pan, "...ah? Why, Gao Tianyuan, is very... OK?"

Murphy nodded,

"Of course, it's a bit too much to say that 0791 is the technology center of Zhutian Universe, but it is at least one of the top three foundries."

Li Pan, "...Ah, ah? Are we talking about a 0791?"

Murphy was quite leisurely, pointing to the pastries he had just ordered, and began to explain to the newcomers,

"If you simply compare ultimate technology, then Gao Tianyuan is lagging behind. Zhutian has blocked the technology here. What can be done behind closed doors? But on the other hand, being out of touch with Zhutian's scientific research community is also an advantage here."

Li Pan frowned, "This can also be an advantage?"

Murphy smiled and said,

"Haha, Mr. Qiu Shan, do you know what is really limiting the development of science and technology in the world today?"

Li Pan still understands this.

"Oh, isn't it obvious? It's the SEC."

Murphy swallowed the bitter coffee and nodded heavily.

"Ethics Committee of the Association for Science and Technology. Marder, you don't know that any research done outside now, those old guys have to intervene in supervision. This one is not allowed and that one is not allowed. Now one violates ethics, now another infringes patent, and when a paper is published, etc. There are millions of people around today telling you what to do, but it’s really annoying.

When it comes to technology, you just have to do it, and you have to get approvals, research, and meetings. An experiment can be scheduled for three months! Researcher Mader is dead and the experiment permit has not been issued yet!

Now the SEC is completely academic. It is up to them to decide which technologies can be promoted, which technologies cannot be researched, and which patents must be opened. Innovative products must be evaluated by them, and research data must be presented to them for demonstration and confirmation. Human civilization can only be promoted and marketed when it is harmless, so why bother talking about business? The day lily is already cold.

What's more, although the technology of cutting-edge laboratories is now advanced, the various patents that support the scientific foundation are already too restrictive. If you want to innovate through existing channels, simply obtaining a technology license will become extremely troublesome, such as Say, these cakes are made from organic waste. "

Li Pan quickly put the chocolate cake back in his hand.

Murphy looked at those small cakes and smiled bitterly,

"This one-bite thing costs one hundred and fifty yuan, and at least seventy-five yuan is the patent fee. Strawberry, mango, chocolate, any flavor has to be enough to buy a patent license. If you are tired of eating it and want to make your own grape flavor, Well, patent infringement and illegal fines.

Large companies encounter more technical sanctions and patent restrictions. Although they may not necessarily lead to corporate wars, the SEC can prevent your products from being sold in the world through patent blockades, material supply cuts, market bans, and trade barriers. Market sales.

In the research and development stage, huge patent fees need to be paid. Once infringement occurs, a lawsuit may result in the inability to obtain normal profits, which naturally greatly reduces the company's interest in developing new products.

Therefore, if you want to circumvent the restrictions of patent laws and develop technologies that transcend generations, you need a place where you can freely step out of the box, ignore the rules of the committee, and the rules of the SEC, and mix up various flavors. "

Murphy poured the three flavors of pudding into his coffee cup, and the cup turned into a mushy, indistinguishable mess.

"0791 is such a place. It has abundant resources and minerals from the outer universe, complete industrial facilities, cheap technical labor, and even better, it has just experienced a corporate war.

The property management company and the local indigenous people are fighting fiercely for power. The supervisory power of the Safety Committee and Pangu in this world is also unprecedentedly weak. You see, I am 'creating new flavors' here, and there are no drones to fine me.

Even the upper echelons of the VK Group in 07 are actually fighting among themselves. During this period, no one has the power and energy to focus on this garbage heap.

This is a place where companies can act without any scruples, free from legal and contractual restrictions, and engage in free communication and cooperation without cost or responsibility.

Any prohibited technology can be used, and any human experiment can be conducted. The funniest thing is that there are so many colleagues doing this, that all upstream and downstream equipment, materials, experimental subjects, and supporting suppliers for the entire line can be found. get!

Really, you may never find an earth with more illegal laboratories, private foundries, and hacker workshops than 0791.

Now here is the testing ground selected by Zhutian Company, the foundry of edge technology, and the hotbed of all possibilities. This is the lair of chaos. You may not even think of what could crawl out of this garbage heap.

So you said, if Pangu’s biochip is not made here, where else can it be made? "
