Westbrook, Cherry Blossom Street.

In the small square in front of the TURGO convenience store, several modified Ford Mustang cars are parked nearby, and the sound of punk rock music is non-stop.

A number of cyberpunks with all kinds of shiny metal prostheses are sitting in front of three hot food stalls in the square, drinking beer and chatting.

Bearded Pila, with thin arms and legs, nimbly carries a plate of beer and performs acrobatics flying up and down in front of friends and customers.

Dolio tossed the empty bottles at Pyra, but they were easily caught by his slender prosthetic arm.

Pyrrha happily shows off her prosthetic arm: "My fingers are too powerful!" Don't you think? ”

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

After speaking, he raised his hand and gestured twice in the air, causing everyone around him to laugh maliciously.

This made Pyra seem even happier and prouder, picked up the beer bottle and wiped it, and said directly:

"You said yes, I can do this all day!"

detonated the audience again, and everyone around laughed and applauded.

Qi Wei, the team hacker, is still wearing a red leather coat and a tall figure, with a cigarette under her mask, sitting at the desk and tapping on the notebook.

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

Tomorrow is the day to go to the Vortex Gang to complete the transaction, and he has already asked Qi Wei to deliberately leak the transaction news on the black market network.

And Qi Wei also successfully captured the intrusion decipherment record from Arasaka Company, confirming that someone in Arasaka already knew about it, as for how Arasaka would act, it depended on Tang Yu's arrangement.

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

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

Just as Mann was thinking, his eyes were drawn to a burgundy long-seater limousine slowly parked in the plaza.

The doors open.

The white-haired man in a burgundy suit walked down with a proud expression, with a special composite triple electronic prosthetic eye on his right eye, scanning everyone in the square with his eyes, and finally looked at Mann who was sitting at the front of the car.

Mann looked up at each other, the man he was waiting for, the middleman backed by military technology.

Faraday.

Even though he worked with him many times, Mann still didn't have the slightest trust in Faraday, and there was only one reason for cooperating with Faraday, and that was to give him a lot of honorarium.

It is difficult to find a trustworthy and wealthy middleman in Night City, and the ability and quality of the middleman are uneven, so the standard for measuring the middleman is often the honorarium.

Faraday is the kind of middleman with strong strength and high remuneration in this area, and his backing on military technology companies makes him worthy of the competition of any other middleman.

Mann jumped out of the car and walked up to Faraday, this time he took the initiative to ask Faraday, so he took the initiative to say, "I have important information to talk to you"

Faraday put one hand in his trouser pocket and showed displeasure, in Night City, it is generally the middleman who arranges the life of the cyberpunk, in other words, the middleman is the owner of the cyberpunk, and has a natural position advantage.

"You'd better have important information"

Faraday looked at Mann haughtily, he had never had any respect for the cyberpunk who worked part-time, if it weren't for Mann being a regular collaborator, he wouldn't have made a special trip at all, and the reason why he came this time was entirely because Mann told him that intelligence and military technology are closely related.

"Get in the car"

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

After the two got into the car, the sedan started.

Faraday was suspicious, he had definitely dealt with military technology companies a lot, those company dogs were very arrogant, cyberpunks like Mann had no chance to contact them, the only possibility was the news and information that Mann got from other sources, and he was the first to break the silence.

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

Mann knew that Faraday's methods were insidious and brutal, but he was never ambiguous about the payment, so he went straight to the showdown:

"Cyber Maniac James's military-grade Sanweistein is in my hands"

Hearing this, Faraday, who was originally expressionless, suddenly frowned, he already knew the news of the disappearance of this prosthetic, but he didn't expect it to fall into Mann's hands, but it was not difficult to think about the whole process, it was nothing more than that Cyberpunk stole the prosthetic body of the cyber madman James through private channels in order to become stronger, but the military technology had no intention of recycling it at all, so he didn't continue to pay attention to this matter.

Faraday: "You don't look like you're wearing it, if you want to sell this prosthetic to military technology through me, I don't think you need to"

Mann shook his head and said, "I'm not going to sell you a prosthetic, but I want to sell you a piece of information, the information of a deal."

Faraday was a little disdainful: "Since you haven't installed it yet, I'll send you a piece of information first, this righteousness is now in the human trial stage, and it's not a good thing to install it."

Mann: "It's because this prosthetic is in the experimental phase that Arasaka wants to get it, or rather, to get its human data."

Faraday almost immediately thought of the core of the matter, military technology did not plan to recycle this prosthetic for the time being, but that did not mean that Arasaka did not want to.

He sat up straight, his right triple prosthetic eye turned to stare at Mann and asked, "You mean the Arasaka Company wants to get this prosthetic, so why don't you sell it to them?" ”

Mann: "Dealing with Arasaka without a middleman?" I still want to live a few more years, you have a background in military technology, you should understand the importance of this matter, tomorrow at nine o'clock in the evening I will trade with the Vortex Gang in the abandoned steel factory in the old industrial area of Watson, then there will definitely be Arasaka's secret services to snatch this prosthesis, I hope you can convince military technology to make a move"

Faraday stared at Mann coldly, trying to tell if there was truth in his words, and said after a moment of silence.

"It turns out that you want to use this bureau to whitewash this prosthesis, so as not to be targeted by the company like James, and finally be forced to become a cyber maniac"

"Mann, I know you, you are absolutely incapable of doing this game, it seems that you have found a new middleman, or have a new reliance"

Mann looked at Faraday's face full of confidence and mastery of everything, and believed that he couldn't imagine that the person he was cooperating with was the senior management of Arasaka Company, and it was definitely a wonderful show to cooperate with the people of Arasaka Company to pit Arasaka Company.

Mann neither denied nor admitted it, after all, he and Tang Yu only cooperated once, and did not belong to intermediaries or new channels.

"This is the information I'm going to talk about, whether to cooperate in ambushing Arasaka, or finally the prosthetic body is snatched away by them, after all, it depends on your opinion, I need this bureau to wash the prosthesis, and you need this bureau to prove the value to military technology"

Faraday thought for a moment that there were some doubts about the deal, but the risks were under control, not to mention that, as Mann said, he needed to prove his worth to military technology, and that was to deal with Arasaka.

"I think your intelligence is good"

After that, transfer 10,000 euros directly to Mann's electronic account.

"This is a deposit, if the plan is successful, pay the rest"

Faraday regained his stoodness and parked the car back in the plaza, allowing Mann to get out of the car.

He picked up the red wine on the wine cabinet in the car and shook it, and then dialed the contact person of military technology...
