The changes in Taiping Continent have always affected the hearts of the companies in Night City, after all, the city is independent, and any change will have unexpected results.

Although Night City is located in California, in fact, Night City has long been outside the jurisdiction of California and even the United States.

For many years, it has been filled with conflicts and gunfights between chaebol groups, from which everyone wants to profit, and here there is no need to hide desires.

After Xia Yu sowed a seed in Taiping Continent, he didn't care about the affairs over there, and he didn't know whether this seed would eventually grow into a towering tree or die halfway through.

After all, he has never equipped a card character of the Brain School, and he has always used the Force School, if he has to think about it himself......

Xia Yu: (『)

"Xia Yu, can you please explain why you didn't come to class a few days ago?"

Arasaka Academy, in the classroom.

Xia Yu lay in the high-tech classroom again after a long absence, but he had just laid down when the bald teacher who had projected out of him asked.

"I'm very sorry, I had something to do in those days, so I didn't have time to ask for leave."

"Yes, please submit a review after class, and now start today's lesson."

Review ...... The world has changed, but this thing has survived.

Xia Yu secretly complained to himself while entering Mewtwo's "Green Classroom", it seems that no matter how the world develops, the treatment of students is the same.

There hasn't been much change in the classroom, except that David has dropped out.

As the course progressed, time passed slowly, and soon, a lesson was over.

After class, Xia Yu didn't care about the review of the book, took off the Mewtwo headband on his head, and strode out of the classroom directly.

Want him to write a review? Next life.

"Didi ——!"

"Huh?"

Looking at the communication request that suddenly lit up, Xia Yu paused, and the avatar requesting communication was a stick figure cat, it was Sasha of the Mann Team.

After thinking about it, Xia Yu accepted the communication request while walking towards the side road where pedestrians were becoming scarcer.

Sasha: "Hey! Mr. Jack! ”

Xia Yu: "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong with me? ”

Sasha: "Can't you find Mr. Jack if you're fine?" Am I the one who is looking for trouble in your eyes? ”

Pretty much.

Although he thought so in his heart, Xia Yu would not be stupid enough to really send it out like this, and it was also very important to take care of the emotions of the tool man.

Sasha is an excellent network hacker, sometimes he can't do things that are convenient for him, he will entrust them to this tool girl, and the other party can always hand over an answer sheet that satisfies him.

Of course, he is not a straight man of steel, and he can see that this girl is interesting to him.

But...... The great cause has not been accomplished, so how can we talk about the love of children!

The above is a decent statement, and the truth is that he is now using the identity of a Ghostwalker, and Ghostwalker does not have that function......

He doesn't want to reveal his true identity for the time being, so he can only be a straight man and ignore the other party.

Xia Yu: "Of course not, it's just that I've always been a straight-talking person and don't like to go around and around, so you're just bored to come to talk to me?" ”

Sasha: "...... No, I have something to do with Mr. Jack. ”

When writing this paragraph, Sasha couldn't help but cover his face with shame, and only said in the previous sentence that he was not a person who was specifically looking for trouble, and the latter sentence directly slapped his face.

Xia Yu: "......"

He also said that he was not a person who was specifically looking for trouble!

Xia Yu: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

After a few seconds, Sasha sent the message.

Sasha: "Faraday let's find out who did what happened in Taipingzhou, I want to ask Mr. Jack if he knows?" ”

Although it was only a question mark, Sasha was almost certain that Xia Yu knew, because Xia Yu asked her for a map of Taiping Continent before, and then it didn't take long for Taiping Continent to have an accident.

And judging from the information circulating on the Internet, the dominant person is a white-haired reformer named Jack the Ripper.

Although it can be seen from the prosthetic transformation that Ghostwalker and Jack the Ripper are definitely not the same person, they are both called Jack, so there may be some connection.

Thinking of this, Sasha simply came to ask Xia Yu directly.

On the other side, Xia Yu looked at the news of Sata coming over and thought to himself.

Behind Faraday is military technology, it seems that military technology is really eyeing the fat of Taiping Continent, do you want Mann and these cyberpunks to investigate first?

Cyberpunks like Mann aren't uncommon in Night City, and they obviously know more about the underworld than the company's employees.

It seems that he has made two preparations, not only sending his own employees, but also entrusting low-level mercenaries.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu replied.

Xia Yu: "I know, you better refuse the commission about Taipingzhou, be careful of losing your life." ”

Sasha: "Σ(っ°Д°; )っ”

Sasha: "Is it that serious?" We've just joined a new recruit who can use Silwestein, and Mann is planning to take him on a long run. ”

Xia Yu: "Tell Mann what I said, the problem of Taiping Continent is not something you can participate in, let alone you, the company may suffer losses in the future, try not to get involved, your life matters." ”

Sasha: "I see......"

After a few more words, Xia Yu hung up the communication, and the words were all said to this part, if he died with iron, he would definitely hit his head and break the bloodstream.

However, although Mann seems to be a reckless man, his mind is not as brainless as it seems, and if he is really a brainless boss, his team would have been wiped out long ago.

can survive until now, and he is also a person who can see the situation clearly, and after his reminder, it is estimated that he will not be in danger again.

In the following days, Xia Yu lived a daily routine of attending classes during the day and shooting at night.

In the past, he would take on commissions to improve his proficiency, but now, he was clearly depraved.

After a period of time, a big news broke out in Taipingzhou, that is, a new company called Metal Equipment was established.

The company's main products are individual flight combat uniforms, plus all kinds of smart weapons and so on.

Smart weapons are just that, and individual flight combat uniforms are obviously products that other companies do not have for the time being.

Night City is home to a number of companies, but the five giants that stand out are Arasaka, Kangtao, Military Technology, Biotechnology, and the Night Group.

Among them, Arasaka is mainly engaged in corporate security, corporate police and a variety of corporate auxiliary services; Kangtao is mainly engaged in intelligent military technology and security services; Military science and technology is mainly engaged in the manufacture and distribution of weapons and mercenaries.

Although the main business of these three companies is different, they have the most overlap, and the most overlapping is the manufacture of arms.

And none of them have launched such a product as a single soldier flight combat suit, and their most products are still various types of firearms.

Biotechnology is in a league of its own, as it specializes in genetic engineering and biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and microbial research, while also having complete control over the energy market.

Because biotechnology controls the patents for CHOOH2, a synthetic alcohol made from genetically modified wheat, that has pulled the world back from the brink of an energy crisis.

These four companies are the four most powerful foreign companies in Night City, and the last Night Group is the head snake of Night City, mainly engaged in urban construction and public facilities.

The Night Group was founded by Miriam Knight, the founder of Night City and wife of billionaire Richard Knight, and was formerly known as the Knight Foundation.

Dedicated to protecting and pursuing Richard's vision of a utopian city, the Foundation was reorganized and renamed the Knight Group, or the Night Group, after the gang wars ended.

To this day, the Night Group has not forgotten its vision, but when Miriam founded the Night Group, he realized that in order to have a place in the city, he had to follow the rules of big business.

Since then, the Night Clan has been based in Night City to develop its own affairs and avoid conflicts with major companies.

With a focus on Night City itself, it is home to the city's largest contractor and public purchaser, as well as the construction and renovation of roads, bridges, tunnels, metro and light rail, power stations, network relay stations, water utilities and sewer systems.

Although Miriam Knight has been CEO for many years, her legacy and ideals seem to be being carried on by her successors.

The Yeshi Group is also known for its philanthropic activities, such as grants for underprivileged children, scholarships to motivate gifted young people, and a large investment in research related to ecology and new energy.

This is something that other companies have never considered, and other companies will only care about the immediate interests and bite and swallow them like jackals, tigers and leopards.

At this moment, the headquarters of the Yeshi Group.

Unlike other corporate branches, the Night's Group is headquartered in Night City Enterprise Square, but it also has its own offices in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Fresno, and New York.

The Night Group is a huge corporation after all, and it is impossible to develop only in Night City.

"So, did you sneak here to hold me hostage?"

In the CEO's office at the headquarters of the Yeshi Group, the CEO looked at the masked man in front of him and asked with a cold expression.

Just as she was working on a daily basis, the surrounding network was suddenly cut off, and before she could make a move, a silent figure appeared behind her and placed the blade around her neck.

This silky combo directly made her easily hijacked, and she couldn't resist at all.

If nothing else, the security facilities of this office are estimated to have been cracked, otherwise security personnel should have rushed in the first time she was held hostage.

"No, no, no, we're just here to find cooperation."

The handsome guy Jack looked at the head of the Ye Group in front of him and laughed softly.

"On the surface, your Knight Group seems to be indisputable and focused on building charity, but behind the scenes, it is not as honest as it seems."

When the executive officer heard this, his face became even colder: "What do you mean, I will tell you in advance, whether you kill me or hold me hostage, you will regret it." ”

"Huh, huh?"

The handsome guy Jack was still smiling, and then took out a mobile phone, which had changed from confusion to mobile phone.

The next moment, a light curtain was projected on the mobile phone, and on the light curtain was the secret operation of the Night Clan, which was known only to a very few people.

Seeing the above information, the executive's face finally changed.
