"The money has arrived!"

Leah's cold voice came from the communication, and Li Ji was a little surprised by the other party's efficiency.

"Lady Lilith, my mission is complete, are you going to wait here for your team to pick you up, or do you want to take a break from my infirmary? By the way, I'm actually a doctor. ”

Doctor? Aren't these gangs really thugs?

Looking at the ruins around her, Lilith's big eyes were full of incredulity.

In the distance, Three Fingers still relentlessly shot at the corpse on the ground to vent his anger.

"Boss, that's what you said, the darkness of Night City?" He asked in the newsletter.

"Not exactly." Li Ji touched his eyes and muttered.

It is obviously unrealistic to cram so many people and loot into one car, but fortunately, although the Tigers were driven out of the city, their family wealth is quite rich.

There are also a lot of quietly parked motorcycles, trucks, etc. in the warehouse.

With a wave of Li Ji's hand, the people of the Prosthetic Gang swarmed up and packed all the valuable things and took them away.

A total of two trucks were full, and even some locomotives and small cars couldn't fit because they couldn't fit it, so Li Ji asked Leah to count the number and sell it with a random middleman.

On the way, the group returned with a full load, and the numb eyes of the hostages also showed a rare look of excitement.

"Let them contact their family and come and pick them up."

The Tigers kidnapped people for ransom, so there should be someone to pick up these hostages, right?

Li Ji thought for a moment, and then threw a mask and a black-gold robe to Three Fingers.

"If someone comes to pick them up, you will be in charge of arranging, and the identity will be the one who uses Leah to take the task, the bomb maniac."

By now, Sanzhi had roughly understood Li Ji's plan,

"Boss, do you want the brothers in the gang to act together with different identities?"

"It's pretty much the same, but it's not different identities, it's a fixed number of identities, so it's easy to accumulate popularity, and it's more convenient to find out the news in Night City."

Li Ji looked at Leah, who had been silent, and asked, "Is there any progress in the matter that I asked you to check before?" ”

"Is it about cyberpsychosis?"

Leah's eyes flickered, apparently looking at something.

"Almost all of the cyber psychosis that the NCPD has recently announced is here, but I haven't found anyone who matches your description."

Li Ji's brows also furrowed, and he didn't know where the cyber psychosis in the plot that knocked Pila's head off with a single shot.

It seems that the only way to do it is to use a stupid solution.

"Leah, you can then move around Night City, use your new status to become an intermediary again, and give us the Waistcoat if you receive a lucrative assignment."

"Alternatively, you can keep an eye on David and their team in the shadows, and if they frequent, remember to let me know."

Li Ji described the scene in his memory to the AI in words, got an illustration, and passed it on to Leah.

To deal with cyber psychosis, Li Ji wants not to simply kill him, but to find the root of this disease, so Sanzhi's actions in Night City will be crucial.

Finally arrived at the gate of the Hanging Pot Jishi Medical Center, where a group of people were now gathered.

After the hostages got out of the car, the crowd burst out with calls of surprise from time to time, mixed with faint cries.

But not all of the hostages were picked up by their families, and some of them looked at the brothers and sisters who were reunited with their relatives, and silently hid in the corners and looked sad.

"Eldest sister, I've finally found you!"

A group of people in cheap security uniforms spotted Lilith and approached in surprise, Li Ji thought they were familiar, and after looking around, he realized that they were the salted fish security guards on the street corner.

There were workers making trouble there every day, and the security guards just watched silently, and sometimes even joined each other.

Smiling politely at Lilith, Li Ji left them private space.

When he returned to his cabin, he called Three Fingers.

"Ask what the situation is with those poor people who have no one to take them, if they are really homeless, see if they are willing to eat with us mercenaries, we are not short of these pairs of chopsticks now."

Turning over a large pile of circuit boards, Li Ji pulled out a wire from the neural slot in the back of his head, silently writing something, and said to the three fingers at the same time.

He paralleled a large number of CPUs he had recently collected onto this rudimentary circuit board, as well as connected a number of external hard drives.

"Today, this little guy will be able to wrap up, and as an experimental assistant, it should be enough."

Li Ji has been thinking, since the human body will inevitably slide into the abyss of madness after implanting a prosthesis, is there a way to bypass this restriction and wear a large number of prosthetics on the body like an exoskeleton?

In this way, both mentally and physically, there is minimal stress.

And the final product conceived will also break through the limits of the human body, and even infinitely add components to it, becoming a behemoth similar to fantasy works.

With such hole cards, he can do a lot of things he wants to do, such as protecting some people he cares about, such as having the confidence to face Arasaka in this world.

"Well, this is a long-term plan, so let's name it 'Project Cybertron' for the time being!"

Li Ji thought silently, and at the same time, the indicator light on the circuit board in front of him also lit up at this time.

"The long-term plan has been established, do you want to name it 'Cybertron'?"

Li Ji smiled and said, "You finally woke up, how do you feel now?" ”

"At present, I am not comfortable with the current state in the self-test, but I should be able to work soon."

This is a period of consciousness that Li Ji discovered in the cyber network before, miraculously having self-awareness, very similar to the advanced AI outside the black wall, but at that time it was being chased and intercepted by network surveillance.

After Li Ji checked its source code, he found that this little guy was most likely an unlucky hacker who accidentally uploaded part of his consciousness before he died.

I have to say that this is a miracle for both of them, what Li Ji needs most now is an assistant who can be trusted, and a nascent intellectual AI is just right.

As for whether she is a human or a code now, Li Ji feels that this is not a problem.

"I set your permissions to the local LAN, don't run out easily, the network surveillance has been looking for you."

After saying a word, Lilith's angry shout came from outside the door.

"What? Working with a company? Do you know what you're doing? Have you forgotten how we ended up in the garbage dump? ”

Li Ji frowned, put down what he was doing, and planned to go and see the situation.

Military technology in the camp outside Night City.

Due to the failure of the battle with Arasaka a few years ago, the military technology had to withdraw from Night City, but fortunately, it is also an established company, and their influence in the city has not been uprooted.

Congressman Jefferson was sitting in his office here with a smile, looking at the person in charge in front of him.

"So, have you already started your plan? But I think that after all, the castle lord has been bound to Arasaka for so long, so you might as well consider replacing your partner with me? ”
