Chapter 15: Mighty Takemura, looking for Aveline

[Passionate dreamer, you seize the opportunity again, although you don't know where the road ahead leads, but at least, you have some clues]

[You go to the agreed restaurant to meet Takemura, he is a middle-aged man with his hair tied back at the back of his head, although he is not wearing a suit, his posture is still straight, with the unique sharp temperament of a person from the company]

[After you talk to Takemura, you find out that he is desperate to resist Arasaka Yorigen and make his father's murder known to the world]

[As Saburo Arasaka's bodyguard, Takemura did not bow his knee to Arasaka's current leader, Arasaka Yorinobu, but showed loyalty, a quality that is very rare in Night City]

"What I want is revenge, it's more feasible. ”】

[During the negotiations, you told Takemura most of the things that happened that night, and made conditions to him, if Takemura wanted you to help overthrow Arasaka Yorinobu, Takemura would help you solve Johnny Ginhand's problem]

[After thinking about it, Takemura agreed to your conditions and pointed out two clear ways for you to obtain information about the "Rebirth Chip":]

[The first is to find the head of the relevant research department of the rebirth chip, the most sure of which is named Herman, who is the chief bioengineer of Arasaka, a neural network expert with a number of breakthrough patents, and also the director of the "Rebirth Chip" project]

[This person is now in Night City, participating in R&D projects, and has not been seen in a few months]

[Takemura promises you that he will notify you as soon as he has news of Herman]

[And the other way is to point to the middleman Dexter]

[Through investigation in the past two days, Takemura found that the direct financier behind Dexter is not military technology, but someone else - a sex doll named Aveline, who used to work in the top club "Genting" in Night City, and now his whereabouts are unknown]

[Aveline played a role in the matchmaking between military technology and Dexter, and with the identity of a sex couple, she stole the location where Arasaka Yorixuan hid the "Rebirth Chip", and then conveyed this information to you and Jack through Dexter, so that the theft plan could go smoothly]

[Takemura believes that an ordinary sex doll cannot be involved in this confrontation between the Arasaka Group and military technology on a whim, she must be instigated]

[The person who instructed Aveline is very knowledgeable about the "Rebirth Chip" and is eager to get it.]

[Takemura deduced a clue from this, as long as you find Aveline and follow the vine to the person behind her, it is also possible to clear Johnny Silverhand in your brain]

[Takemura agreed with you that he would be responsible for helping you find Herman and Aveline, and at the same time, you would also help Takemura identify Arasaka Yorigen at a critical moment]

[You keep the information provided by Takemura in mind and officially cooperate with him]

【Ding——】

【Takemura joins your team】

[Your qualification level has been increased!] 】

【Unlock Specialization: Sword Demon LV1】

[Demon LV1: When using sword combos, it will cause a tearing effect on the flesh, the more combos, the higher the skill level, and the stronger the tearing effect]

A new specialization has been unlocked, and White Night has some surprises.

He didn't expect that this "door-to-door" Takemura would be able to join the team directly and unlock the ability to specialize.

It's right to think about it, Takemura, as the bodyguard of the night city "Arasaka Saburo", is not ordinarily strong.

Although he claims to have removed the company's prosthesis, he still can't be underestimated.

Takemura's intelligence gathering ability surprised Bai Ye even more, and the original foggy situation was explained by Takemura, and two clear routes were directly sorted out.

"In the future, we must make good use of this former bodyguard of the Arasaka Company, and knock down more information and clues from him." Bai Ye pondered for a moment and continued to look at the content of the game.

[You say goodbye to Takemura and leave the restaurant where you talked]

[There's no news about Herman's affairs yet, you put it aside and concentrate on finding Aveline's whereabouts]

[According to Takemura, Aveline used to work at the Genting Clubhouse, which is a clear clue]

[Genting Clubhouse is located in Japantown, Westbrook District, just off Twist Street]

[The road is far away, do you plan to take the subway, or grab a car on the road? 】

"Damn, I've been playing until now, and I don't have a car yet."

Bai Ye remembered that those middlemen in various districts would send him advertisements for selling cars, most of which were stolen second-hand cars, and each one was extremely expensive.

Although White Night Play is already a "high-quality mercenary in Night City", he really can't afford to buy a car.

Before taking Belica to hunt down Black Peel Fat, he was still riding Wilson's motorcycle.

There's no way, it's useless to be anxious, and you can't afford to be in a hurry, so let's save again.

However, Bai Ye didn't choose to rob the car, in case it attracted NCPD police officers, it would really outweigh the losses.

In Night City, you can provoke street gangsters and blow up the heads of gangsters, but if you mess with the NCPD, the consequences are unimaginable, and it is okay to be beaten into a sieve.

Let's take the subway obediently.

[Passionate dreamer, you cautiously got on the subway and arrived at Japantown in Westbrook safely]

[You come to Genting Clubhouse, only to find that it has been locked down]

[You quietly observe from the outside and find many Tiger Claw gang thugs near the blockade area]

[The Tiger Claw Gang is the largest gang entrenched in Japantown, following the organization and rules of the triad and the Yakuza in the past. 】

[They are more tightly organized, and their spheres of influence include restaurants, casinos, bars, clubs, sex puppet clubs, and the most notorious Black Super Dream business]

[According to your investigation, Genting Club is one of the cash cows owned by the Tiger Claw Gang, why was it suddenly blocked?] 】

[You asked your intermediary "Kazuko Okada" in Japan Town, and she told you that something happened to the Genting Club, perhaps because the owner of the Genting Club, the "Wood Man", and the Tiger Claw Gang above had an unpleasant quarrel, which caused the fire]

[Some people claim that this turmoil is related to the Mox Gang, because the night before, several members of the Mox Gang entered the Genting Club and have not come out yet]

[At this time, gunshots came from the Genting Club from time to time, I am afraid that the conflict is still continuing, and the once high-end club has now become a bloody hell, which is extremely dangerous]

[According to your observation, each of these Tiger Claw gang thugs has a cyber modified prosthesis, which is very dangerous for you]

[If you don't enter it, you won't be able to determine Aveline's life and death, and you will watch the clues be interrupted]

At this point, the game options pop up:

[Frontal Penetration], [Side Stealth], and [Exit Option]

"Three more options." Bai Ye thought quickly, and quickly ruled out the third [Option to Evacuate].

The clues that were finally found, Bai Ye will not let go easily.

There are two options left, [Front Penetration] and [Side Stealth], and White Night has chosen [Side Sneak].

After all, his goal is to find Aveline, not to eliminate the Tiger Claws, avoid conflict, and speed up efficiency.

[Passionate dreamer, you carefully choose to sneak in from the side,]

[You have opened the data perspective of the hacker chip and explored the corridor structure in front of you]

[Unfortunately, while you were stealth, you were discovered by the Tigerclaw Gang hackers, who immediately announced your location to all the thugs present]

[The thugs of the Tiger Claw Gang are furious and swarming at your infiltration move, and you happen to be climbing the ventilation duct at this time, and you can't dodge]

[In the thunderstorm of gunfire, bullets rained down, and you were shot and killed in the ventilation duct]

You're Dead.

......

Damn, he died violently again.

And it was extremely unlucky, sneaking was discovered, stuck in the ventilation duct and died violently.

Bai Ye was a little speechless when he saw the game prompts, and he knew that it was better to break through head-on, at least he could kill a few.

It's good now, but I'm suffocated to death.

This battle also alerted Bai Ye.

From the current point of view, while improving combat effectiveness, it is also necessary to improve hacking technology, so that it can be considered comprehensive.

If the level of hacker technology is low, just like this failed sneak, it directly alarms the other party, and the location is exposed to form poor information, which directly causes fatal consequences.

The horror of hackers doesn't stop there, powerful hackers can even hack into other people's prosthetic bodies, make them malfunction, and even beat themselves.

Imagine how outrageous it is that your most trusted fist of steel, Xiao You, who has been with you for more than ten years, suddenly gave you a punch and blew your brain out.

On the frontal battlefield, the cyber lone wolves are invincible, charging against the rain of bullets, and in the invisible sea of data, digital hackers are also showing their talents and carrying out "brain-burning" and dangerous battles.

The "brain-burning" mentioned here is really brain-burning, and powerful hackers can create electromagnetic pulses at will after breaking through the opponent's ICE (firewall) to burn the enemy's brain.

"The hacker chip I use now is still the lowest level E-level, and I have to find a way to upgrade it in the future."

Bai Ye pondered: "What level is the rebirth chip?" Class C? Or is it higher? ”

"If I get a B-class hacking chip, will I be able to get Johnny Silver's hand out of my own hands?"

This conjecture was quickly dismissed by Hakuya.

Not only because high-end hacking chips are not expected or available, but also because the use of chips is limited and attributes are linked.

For example, the "Military Technology Horizon (E-Level)" that White Night has at this time has a condition when it is implanted: "Intelligence Level 3".

This is only the lowest level of chips, and the attributes required by the later chips are definitely getting higher and higher, and it is possible to require an intelligence level of 20.

Upgrading requires money, and the first level costs 200W dollars, which is simply grabbing money from the player's pocket.

Even if he sells Bai Ye, he can't afford to be promoted.

"Krypton gold games, ruin my youth."

Today's [reincarnation] has entered the cooldown, and the white night can only end here, prepare to sleep, and go to Jiuhua Mountain tomorrow.

Before going to bed, Bai Ye checked his current character panel and counted his income these days.

......

Bai Ye's eyes browsed over the personal panel, these equipment, chips, and specializations were all accumulated by him over the past few days, maybe some by luck, but most of them were his hard work.

In the coming troubled times, only these forces can make a pessimist like Bai Ye feel a little at ease.

In the faint silence, the white night fell asleep.

A dreamless night.

Early the next morning, Bai Ye waited at the designated location to carry his own hitchhiker, which was a BMW iX, and it seemed that the owner was also a rich man.

The owner of the car is a haggard man in his thirties, he is still quite enthusiastic, and he came up and chatted with Bai Ye to say a few words, saying that he was too sad because of the death of his family, and he wanted to go to Jiuhua Mountain to become a monk, but he was troubled.

"Little Brother Bai, what are you doing at such a young age? Is it to seek fate, or to solve doubts? ”

Bai Ye pondered for a moment and replied:

"Give people the end."
