Chapter 596: Say it quickly, you changed your name
"Oh oh~ Don't get excited, I'm not here to fight, and if I really find fault, how can you still raise your gun."
Xia Yu pulled out his long knife with his backhand, and then put it aside, signaling that he was not in danger.
Of course, if someone really dared to shoot him, then he could react instantly, and then let everyone present know that he could kill people without weapons.
"Siento (sorry), these lads are a little unbreathable, please forgive them."
Mrs. Wells gave a step in time, and when she spoke, the others put away their guns and reverted to their previous gossip.
It's okay to pretend to show your attitude, if there is really a conflict, then someone will die here, and no one wants to bet on whether that person is themselves or not.
Sensing that Xia Yu was not here to ask for trouble, Mrs. Wells poured the empty cup of Xia Yu back into the Coke, and then asked.
"So, did you come to the bar to talk? Do you want me to make you a bowl of spicy soup? â
"I'm not here to talk, but the spicy soup is fine, and I'm sorry to you, Mrs. Wells."
The best spicy soup in town, from Mrs. Wells and certified by Jack Wells.
Mrs. Wells nodded, got up and walked towards the back kitchen, Xia Yu saw this, and after draining the drink in the cup, he found the others in the bar.
Anyway, being idle is idle, so it's better to find a local to get to know Heywood.
After a long time like this, Xia Yu quickly became acquainted with other people, he himself is partly famous, he has no shelf, and others are happy to know him.
Just as they were chatting hotly, the door of the bar opened again, and a strong man with a ball-pierced head and a somewhat bald hairline burst in breathlessly.
The strong man looked around the bar, and suddenly found Xia Yu who was chatting with others.
After finding that the situation at the scene was a little different from what he imagined, the strong man couldn't help but be stunned, and he was stunned for a while.
The others also saw the strong man, and the people who knew him laughed and waved their hands: "Hey, Jack, we have a new friend, he is called Jack like you, but he is much more famous than you." â
Jack Wells, V's friend and helper, is also one of the important characters that the player comes into contact with in the early days.
Because of the main quest, Jack was cold in the early stage, and his death also made V feel very guilty and painful.
"Jack?"
Mrs. Wells was slightly surprised to see her son come back suddenly.
"That's... I just ......"
Looking at the lively bar, Jack opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, should he say that he was worried that something would happen to the bar before he came back?
Now it seems that his worries are clearly unnecessary.
"Are you the famous Jack Wilson?"
Seeing the familiar strong man in front of him, Xia Yu stepped forward familiarly, he looked stronger than in the game, and his face didn't look easy to mess with.
Hearing this, Jack looked at the comer, who was fully prosthetic, wearing a hooded jacket, exactly like the rumored Ghostwalker.
It's really a Ghost Walker from Santo Domingo, what did he do in Heywood?
"My name is Jack Wells, not Wilson, but the big names are free, and you're much more famous than me."
Although I don't know what this person did when he suddenly came to the door, Jack saw that the other party didn't seem to have malicious intentions, so his tone was also very polite.
But hearing this, Xia Yu suddenly changed his face, although he was wearing a mask, others couldn't see that he had changed his face.
"No, your name is Wilson, say it! You must have changed your name before, from Wilson to Wells! â
Xia Yu suddenly stepped forward, slapped Jack's shoulder with a palm, and then stared at Jack and said.
Jack: "......"
What's wrong with this person?
He was always called Wells, Wilson...... It's too much of a difference, except that the initials are all W, what else is the same?
However, out of respect for the person in front of him, Jack still smiled politely: "I haven't changed my name, I've always been called Wells." â
He has been working hard in the cruel mercenary circle for many years, and because he wants to sit at a table with his big brothers, he will give some respect to the famous mercenaries.
Besides, the person in front of him is still a lone wolf, and a lone wolf is not like a team in a group, and there is always a limit to going it alone.
However, because of this, those lone wolves who have made a name for themselves are even more awe-inspiring, and it just so happens that Xia Yu is an impressive lone wolf.
On the day I heard that the Ghost Walker became famous, he directly slaughtered most of the strongholds of the Saint-Domingue Scavenger, and then the mercenary circle knew about such a ghost-like Ghost Walker.
"No, you've definitely changed your name, come on, you've been called Wilson before, and you'll be called Wells later!"
Seeing that this fool didn't understand what he meant, Xia Yu snorted lightly, approached Jack again, and waved his free hand into a fist in front of Jack.
Jack: "......"
TMD, this guy is here to find fault!
For a moment, a little anger rose in Jack's heart, but he felt the gaze of other people in the bar, and then recalled Xia Yu's prestige.
He decided to take it personally.
"That's right, I did call Wilson before my fuck, and then I've changed my name to fucking Wells now."
"Hahaha, I knew I was right, I said you changed your name, I didn't remember the wrong name."
Neuropathy!
Feeling the nervous appearance of the person in front of him, the respect for the lone wolf mercenary in Jack's heart also completely collapsed.
That is, this person did not attack others in a frenzy, otherwise he would have thought that the person in front of him had become a cyber maniac.
Speaking of which, the body exposed by the person in front of him is all prosthetic, and at first glance, it is a transformed person with a whole body prosthesis, but he has not yet become a cyber psychopath? It's also quite magical.
This era is still one step away from the real mechanical ascension, and the science and technology of the past are buried in the old network of collapse, which has led to the regression and discontinuation of science and technology.
Therefore, most of the technology in this era is developed by digging up the old web, but the old net is full of all kinds of dangerous AI, so that if you want to dig a grave, you have to be vigilant against cyber evil spirits.
When she was a child, Lucy watched her companions who were digging for information in the old network die tragically in the old network, and then she and her other companions struggled to escape from the company's control.
However, she was the only one who escaped, and the rest of her companions died under the guns of the guards.
Because of the imperfection of technology, the prosthetic technology has not been able to completely simulate the delicate human body, including various hormones of the human body.
In order to compensate for this side effect, immunosuppressants are needed to stabilize the spirit and self.
But even then, immunosuppressants will become ineffective over time, and coupled with the pressure of day and night, people who have severely modified their prostheses will suffer from unexplained psychosis.
Losing humanity and becoming manic and murderous, this is cyber psychosis.
Night City's Terrorist Task Force is one such elite special operations unit that eradicates cyberpsychosis, and as long as they appear, there will be casualties.
Getting back to business, after recording a video of Jack admitting that he had changed his name, Xia Yu regained his previous friendly appearance, patted Jack on the shoulder and laughed.
"Brother Jack, don't care, I'm just joking with you, let's go, go drink, I'll invite you."
Although he has dissatisfaction with Xia Yu in his heart, Jack is not the kind of person who wants to save face.
He wants to order the most expensive wine today, even if he knows that this wine money is not painful for the other party, but he still wants to order, this is his protest.
"Okay, let's drink, Mom, get the most expensive wine in TM."
Just waited for Jack at the Wild Wolf Bar, Xia Yu was quite happy, and now he didn't have to go to other places to guard this guy.
After pushing and changing the cup, Jack gradually drank bigger, and the whole person was a little dizzy.
Xia Yu doesn't drink alcohol, so he has always taken carbonated drinks to drink with each other, and seeing that the time is ripe, in order not to look strange, he decided to ask sideways.
"By the way, Jack, do you know V?"
âVīŧ Oh, you mean V, he's been my friend for years, what's wrong? â
"Tsk, it turns out that he is your friend, nothing."
Knowing that the V of this world turned out to be a company dog, Xia Yu silently took a sip of his drink.
In this way, at least I have to wait for another year and a half, and after V is down, he will become a mercenary.
Company V is a real master, he was already in a high position before he fell down, and he can almost be regarded as a big man that the other two V have never seen in their lives.
There are more than 100,000 euros in the opening deposit, and as a close confidant of the head of counterintelligence of the Night City Arasaka Company, if it weren't for the boss he followed, he wouldn't have fallen into the bottom mercenary at all.
Unfortunately, there was no if, his boss Jenkins failed in a fight with another senior executive of the company, Abnazier, and even V lost everything and became destitute.
"According to the timeline, it will take more than a year......"
Xia Yu silently took a sip of his drink and thought to himself, why don't you go directly to assassinate V's boss Jenkins? Leave V unemployed in advance?
Before the assassination, you can also contact Abnassi to see if you can make a fortune.
Well...... You can try.
I just don't know if this company V is male or female, do you want to ask again?
Just as Xia Yu was about to ask, someone suddenly patted him, turned his head and saw that he was a strong man with sunglasses.
"Father, please."
"Priest?"
Hearing this name, Xia Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, what did the priest do with him? He didn't cause trouble in Heywood.
But Xia Yu didn't refuse, and after picking up the knife he put aside again, he followed the strong man in sunglasses who suddenly appeared towards the outside of the bar.
Outside the bar, a car was parked in the driveway outside, the door was wide open, and inside sat an emaciated old man from the Mediterranean.
The old man was dressed in civilian clothes, with a cross necklace around his neck and colorful tattoos on his arms, and he looked like a ruthless character.
Sebastian Ibarra, one of the best intermediaries in Haywood, was nicknamed Father Priest because he was once a Valentino-turned-priest.
But this kind nickname does not hide the nature of his dangerous person, and the nickname of Godfather is more suitable for him than that of a priest.
If V is from a "street kid" background, then V and the priest are close friends.
"Welcome to Heywood, Ghostrunner, would you like to come and sit in my car?"
After seeing the strong man in sunglasses take Xia Yu out, the priest smiled kindly and patted the seat next to him and invited Xia Yu to get on the bus.
Although he didn't know what the priest was looking for him, Xia Yu was not afraid, so he just walked into the car with such a big face, sat next to the priest, and then closed the car door with his hand.
Seeing Xia Yu get into the car, the strong man in sunglasses did not get into the driver's seat, but just stood next to the car, vigilantly observing the surroundings.
"Father, I have long admired the great name."
In the car, Xia Yu greeted the priest, and the priest also smiled kindly: "I have also admired the name for a long time, Ghost Walker, is the wolf bar still to your liking?" â
"I have to say, Mrs. Wells's spicy soup is really delicious, much better than those synthetic foods."
The priest nodded, "It seems that Heywood is still what you want, as a local, it would be a dereliction of duty if you can't get outsiders to agree." â
Seeing that the priest still didn't mention the topic, Xia Yu simply said straightforwardly: "I don't know why the priest is looking for a big man like me?" â
Hearing Xia Yu call himself a big man, the priest was a little surprised, but the middleman had never seen anything strange, so he said as usual.
"It's not a big deal, I just want to hire you for a favor, money is not a problem, but it must be done cleanly."
"Then you've got the right person."
Xia Yu patted his chest triumphantly: "There has always been only the wrong name, no wrong nickname, the ghost walker is a ghost-like killer, let alone being seen, even the surveillance can't find the ghost walker." â
"Looks like I'm not looking for the wrong person."
The priest smiled, took out a data chip and handed it to Xia Yu: "If you want to take my mission, then take a look, if you don't want to, you can get out of the car and leave." â
"It's okay, as long as the hirer isn't a scavenger's disgusting dog, I'll accept it."
Xia Yu responded casually, took the data chip, and inserted his brain-computer interface.
"Uh-huh~ This job is not a lot of money."
After browsing the information in the data chip, Xia Yu snorted lightly and looked at the priest: "But whether it's cash or transfer, I can accept it." â
The priest's task is very simple, to clear the stronghold of a certain six-street gang in the valley area, but it must be clean, even the egg yolk must be shaken, and the earthworm must be cut in half vertically.
Hearing that Xia Yu agreed to the hire, the priest replied: "Of course, money is not a problem, but there is a premise, everything must be done cleanly. â
"Of course, I still have a work ethic."
Xia Yu threw the data chip to the priest, and said casually as he got out of the car: "After this mission, I hope there will be a chance to cooperate, may the Lord bless us." â
Hearing Xia Yu's words, the priest was surprised again, but he also replied: "Of course there will be a chance, the Lord is with us." â
Seeing that Xia Yu got out of the car, the strong man in sunglasses stopped standing, opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat, and then drove the priest out of here.
"I didn't expect to make a fortune when I came to Heywood, and I was quite lucky."
After muttering a sentence, Xia Yu suddenly remembered that he still had classes at Arasaka Academy tomorrow.
Well...... It's important to make money in class.
Skip class!
