Chapter 191: Clues

Entering the game again, White Night thinks it's time to do something.

That is to gather things about "weird transformation".

The place where I want to go, the "weird gathering place", this place is undoubtedly a place related to the so-called weird events.

White Night guessed that it was very likely that all the key things there, such as the rules and the way of fighting, were different from other places in the real world.

You can know it from the two weird black balls you encountered. You can't see it from a normal perspective, and only a child or a child can see the appearance of the black ball by turning on the data perspective.

It is estimated that the same is true in terms of some battles. It is even possible that normal offensive methods are ineffective against those strange creatures, and special attacks are required.

However, thinking about it now is just conjecture.

White Night plans to find some relevant clues in the "Night City" to find the location of the "Strange Transformation" or "Human Craftsman". Pay whatever it takes, and let them help transform the "weird residue" in their hands. ”

As of this point, there are already three "weird remnant" fragments in his inventory.

One of them was obtained when he first met the Black Ball. In the previous game, he killed the black ball and obtained two weird remnants.

White Night speculates that with so many weird residues, it should be enough for transformation, right?

He's also not worried that people with the technology won't be able to transform this kind of thing. According to the game's description, the so-called "spooky residue" is the most common and versatile one. It is estimated that as long as there is relevant technology, it can be easily transformed.

White Night enters the game again.

He pressed the "V" mark and started the game.

The screen slowly opened, and on the dark black background, the fluorescent red font slowly emerged.

[Passionate dreamers, you have returned to Night City again]

[It's a brand new day.] Today you seem to have changed a little bit, and you want to chase areas that you haven't been exposed to before. I don't know what kind of consequences this decision will bring to you? 】

[Is it to make yourself stronger?] Or do you fall into the abyss? Nobody knows. 】

Looking at the description of the game, Bai Ye was vigilant in his heart.

It's clear that the game has commented on things like "weird transformations" after knowing that their intentions were to get into the "weird transformation" thing.

And the wording is also very ambiguous. It's not just encouragement or discouragement. It's more like letting Hakuya prepare for this kind of thing.

It seems that strange related things, while the benefits are unknown, the danger is also everywhere.

Bai Ye's heart is ready again, and when he comes into contact with relevant matters, he must be cautious. You can't be too careful.

He took a deep breath and watched the game continue.

[What are you going to do on a new day?] 】

[1. Go to Judy to see how Evelyn is doing, and you may get some clues by the way. 】

[2. Contact the intermediaries in Night City, do they have any information related to "weird transformation" and "human craftsmen".] 】

Bai Ye hesitated slightly.

Actually, he should have chosen the first one. Since returning to Night City games, he has only visited Evelyn with Judy on his first day of action. Evelyn hadn't really woken up yet. Judy was worried, too.

By now, another two or three days have passed in the game. I don't know what's going on over there.

Bai Ye was a little worried in his heart.

But after thinking about it carefully, he decided to find out the strange information from the intermediary first.

At present, it is the most urgent situation to use these things to improve one's combat effectiveness. Moreover, he obtains information from an intermediary, which does not necessarily mean that it can be obtained immediately, and the intermediary also needs a certain amount of time to gather information.

At the time of the intermediary collecting information. I went to Judy by myself, and the timing was just right.

It can be said that he is a master of time management.

The game is also very clear about going there to find "weird" people and things: that is, the middlemen with great powers.

They are the most well-informed group in all of Night City. From big companies to homeless people, there's no corner of a city they don't understand.

People involved in the "weird transformation", as long as they are in this city, they must have heard of something.

This is the only way for White Night to find out the relevant news. Otherwise, I really can't think of where to look.

The real world is even more unlikely. He had searched the internet for relevant information before. The page is completely blank.

White Night knew that there were only two reasons for such an outcome: almost no one knew about the existence of the "weird" and their effects. Or maybe someone has blocked the information so that the public can't know about it.

White Night guessed the latter. This is the same as the original player group, and it is likely that the General Services Department did it.

In addition, the only gang he knew in Hongcheng was the Black Blood Gang. He was skeptical that the Black Blood Gang had any relevant information.

In contrast, they are still the middlemen of Night City.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye decisively made his own choice.

[You choose the second option: Contact the intermediary in Night City.] 】

[After careful consideration, you choose to contact Rogge first to see if she has any relevant information.] 】

This is a very reasonable choice. Rogge is arguably the most powerful middleman in the entire city, especially after the Dexter guy inexplicably evaporated, and she even covered the sky with one hand in her own area. The message should be the most well-informed one.

White Nights' second choice is Regina Jones. He didn't have a good relationship with Regina Jones and only contacted a few missions. However, Bai Ye knows that this middleman is the most humane one, often helping all kinds of groups in need. Even cyber psychosis thought of finding a way to cure them.

If you have difficulties, looking for Regina Jones is a more reliable choice.

[You sent a message to Rogge: "Rogge, do you have any information related to the strange transformation and the craftsman?] I want to know. The price is negotiable. ”】

[Rogge quickly replied to the message: "You kid is really bold enough, I have never seen such a brave mercenary as you...... You're a madman! It is inconvenient to say in the newsletter that all information must be talked to in person. I'll be waiting for you in the old place. ”】

[Of course, you know, the old place that Rogge is talking about is her own bar: the afterlife. You immediately drive to the next life. 】

Bai Ye looked at Rogge's attitude, and had a certain guess in his heart.

It seems that Rogge does have some knowledge of these things. And I'm afraid I know a lot. She knew that the relevant things were very dangerous, and even considered the risk that the communication might be intercepted or even modified, so she directly asked Bai Ye to go to the afterlife bar for a face-to-face interview.

There is also an implicit attitude. That's weird and related things, and although they are very important, they don't go so far as to keep talking about them.

With Bai Ye's understanding of Rogge, if the matter is really very serious, she will not say a word.

Learning to keep your mouth shut is one of the most important exercises for an intermediary. Rogge can be the biggest middleman here, and this basic skill is obviously perfected.

For example, if it weren't for the memories of Johnny Silverhand, if it weren't for the memory of seeing Johnny Silverhand with his own eyes, he wouldn't have known that Rogge was the one who did such a big thing back then. But Rog rarely preaches anything like that in Night City.

Weird related things are not such a serious problem. It's just that it might be a little hard to say.

[There is some traffic jam on the road. It took you half an hour or so to finally get to the afterlife bar. 】

["You're very diligent, huh? The bartender teased when he saw you. 】

You smile and walk straight to Rog's room. Once in the room, Rogge is the only one here, and she's waiting for you. 】

"You're a surprise. Where did you hear about weird things? Rogge asked. 】

[You didn't talk nonsense, and pulled out the "weird residue" directly from your inventory.] 】

[When Rogge saw this black fragment, he directly put down the wine glass in his hand, turned his head in disgust, and waved his hand again and again: "Take it, take it away!" This thing is so unlucky, you actually brought it to my bar! Definitely don't show anything like that in front of me next time. ”】

Is it so unlucky?

Bai Ye was strange, in his eyes, it was nothing more than after the black ball was killed. Just the loot left behind. Maybe you can improve your combat power.

Rogge had a completely aware, fearful attitude. Even seeing it makes me feel disgusting.

[You put away the weird residue.] Only then did Rogge look at you head-on: "No wonder you came to me to ask about it." Looks like you've met this kind of bad thing. ”】

[She thought about it, and suddenly said, "Was it yesterday's task?" During yesterday's mission, you came across something weird and related? ”】

You nodded, acquiescing to what Rogge said. 】

["No wonder Mr. Blue Eyes is willing to pay so much. Rogge muttered to himself, "It turns out to be weird." Now it makes sense. The so-called schools that have appeared in the suburbs have a strange color in themselves. ”】

["What is this so-called weird? I think a lot of people are very secretive about these things. You asked curiously. You've been curious about these things for a long time. However, there has been no one who has been able to communicate. Now that I have the opportunity to communicate with Rogge, I naturally refuse to let it go. 】

[Rogge shook his head: "It's better that I don't tell you those things.] When you should know these things, you will know. ”】

["And you don't know the relevant news yet."] Ignorance is the best protection for you, got it? ”】

Bai Ye looked at what Rogge said, confused.

How can you understand every word of these words, but you can't understand them when you put them together?

He also knew that speaking like this was definitely not Rogge's style. Rogge is a fairly straightforward person, who speaks and does things crisply. Never like to be a riddler.

There is only one possibility to tell herself relevant information in this way: that is that she can only say this.

When Bai Ye knew, he didn't ask to avoid unnecessary trouble.

[You show that you understand, Rogge looked at your attitude and breathed a sigh of relief: "Talking to a smart person like you is worry-free.] Okay, let's talk about what you're going to do, right? ”】

["I want to find someone with weird transformation technology, and let this kind of person help me transform the weird residue."] I want to see if these things can improve my combat effectiveness? ”】

[You were quite frank about what you wanted to do. 】

[Rogge shook his head: "I want to carry out that kind of transformation.] That little piece of weird residue you took out earlier is definitely not enough. If you have the opportunity to do more in the future, you can come back to me. ”】

[You look at Rogge: "I have three similar weird residues. ”】

[Rogge was taken aback: "Three pieces?? She repeated it in disbelief, and then looked at you seriously: "I'm really, impressed with you." Three weird remnants, your opponent is not ordinary! You didn't even tell me about such a dangerous thing yesterday. The city is really deep enough. ”】

["You kid is definitely not simple, and even has the potential to become a legend in Night City. ”】

[You laugh a little: "There are no living legends in Night City, I'd better forget it.] ”】

[Rogge tells you that $1,000 can help you find someone with weird related transformation technology.] As for the fees to be paid at that time, you need to talk to him personally. 】

[You accepted such an offer with pleasure.] Rogge walked out and went to make a phone call. A few minutes later, she walks back and transmits an address to your personal terminal. 】

[Go to this address.] There's a delivery robot waiting for you there. Everything else, you can talk to the delivery robot, it's none of my business. 】

[You are a little surprised: "This person with transformation technology is an artificial intelligence? ”】

The use of courier robots to communicate with people makes Bai Ye have to think of this aspect.

[Rogge didn't answer, but said: "This kind of person is generally more eccentric.] The first few times we met, you couldn't have seen him for what he really was. Delivering messages with him with a courier bot is the best option for both of you. ”】

[You understand the logic of this kind of thing, and after giving Rogge the promised reward, you get up and go to the location in the message.] 】

[It took nearly an hour to drive the car before you finally arrived at the agreed place. This is the vicinity of the marina in the industrial area. There are a lot of discarded shipping containers around. Quite a few homeless people and mentally abnormal people live here. In addition, you will see some practitioners, and for some reason, they will also do activities here. 】

[The mainstream crowd of Night City basically doesn't come to this kind of place.] 】

[Near the pile of abandoned shipping containers, you have finally found the target location.] It was an abandoned bridgehead. In the distance, I saw a yellow and black courier robot, standing at the head of the bridge and waiting. Without a doubt, this is your point of contact. 】
