It's night.

The sky above Night City is dark and starless, and the neon and dazzling colors of the city at night completely obscure the glimmer of the sky, but the quiet night sky is not calm, the floating cars are like owls whirling in the night sky, and the engine sound is like a dragonfly with folded wings flapping its wings, and the sound is chaotic and disorderly.

A floating, wash-clear vehicle with a mirror-smooth shell quietly landed on the Moore Tech building near the company square.

The sleek navy blue exterior of the car is almost impossible to capture with the naked eye in the dark night sky, a color scheme that was often used by the ancients in ancient times to make ninja suits and night walking clothes.

Colors such as gray and navy blue tend to be more stealthy in the dark than pure black.

Even the tail flame from the bottom of the floating car is extremely shallow and intense, and from a distance, it looks like four dark stars in the dark night, holding up something that is difficult to see and moving.

Refeld Sacred Sword Custom Edition, one of the world's top floating cars.

Ordinary [Holy Sword], the rich have one is enough to prove that the balance on their bank account is close to infinity.

Don't look at the countless floating cars floating around in the sky of Night City, which always gives people the illusion of "why are there so many rich people".

However, in reality, these floating cars seem to be the standard and exclusive seats for the company's executives, but in fact, most of them are assigned to them by the company, and their ownership still belongs to the company.

Being able to own an exclusive floating car is enough to prove that you have stepped into the world's top old industry, and the assets you have are enough to keep you free for dozens of lifetimes.

And the exclusive customized version of the holy sword, that is the treatment that only the rich among the rich deserve.

Such a car seat should be a luxury car that crushes the whole audience at an auto show, and the seemingly monotonous color scheme must not hide its luxurious value.

But now it was like a king of eagles disguised as crows, and it didn't alarm anyone to float and land on the tarmac inside the building.

The floor where the parking lot is located has long been emptied, and the huge parking lot can't find any vehicles at this time, and the girls and receptionists lined up in a line are all wearing cool welcome clothes, and the night breeze blowing outside blows the fluttering skirts, like flowing floating water sticking to the moist jade pillar, and below it is the jade legs of the meat waves, and the graceful willow waist is on it, and the coolness of the uniforms can't help but make people worry about whether they will catch a cold.

The door slowly lifts and opens.

A man with a majestic posture who looked to be only thirty or forty years old stepped out of the floating car unhurriedly, and his demeanor in a high position gave him a domineering temperament overlooking the world.

The close-fitting white suit is worn on the body, which sets off a sturdy and sturdy figure, which is obviously a successful person in the shopping mall, but has a height of nearly 1.9 meters, a handsome face, and a unique three-dimensional beauty of Europeans.

Standing in the queue waiting patiently at the airport, a woman in formal clothes led by saw the man getting out of the car, and hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully:

"Mr. Royin Levac, welcome to the Night City branch."

At the same time, the reception girls behind her all shouted in unison:

"Welcome to CTO Roin Levac to Night City."

In the face of such a big battle, there was no discoloration on the man's face, and his calm gaze swept over these girls, his face expressionless and majestic revealed, as if the emperor was choosing his concubine.

"This, this, and that, I want it."

He spoke calmly, his fingers twitching in the procession of girls, his tone as if he were recounting a very flat fact, and ordered the woman in formal clothes next to him.

"No problem, Mr. Royin Levac." The woman in the dress smiled flatteringly.

Luo Yin nodded suddenly, then waved his hand, and said in disgust as if he was driving away flies:

"Okay, you can get the rest out, don't stand here and dirty my eyes."

As soon as these words came out, except for the girls whose names were named, the rest of the girls all showed regretful expressions and trotted away from here under the scolding of the woman in formal clothes.

As a result, there were only a few people left on the entire floor, and it was no longer as lively as before.

"I don't want anyone to know about the news that I came to Night City a few days early this time, you found these playthings, it does make me feel very good, but there are a lot of people, and those people who left just now, let me shut their mouths."

Luo Yin walked a few steps, as if he suddenly thought of something, and then turned to the woman in formal clothes and commanded.

"No problem, the news about you will never be revealed." The woman in the dress agreed with a smile.

For tonight's welcome ceremony, she deliberately did a lot of homework, knowing that the chief technology officer of Moore Technology has a unique hobby, although he is as old as sixty-five years old, he is still young.

For this reason, these professionally trained girls lined up to greet each other, and no matter how they were, they would not arouse the other party's disgust.

Luo Yin nodded with satisfaction, and casually gestured:

"Lead the way, this is my first time in Night City this year, and I don't know if anything has changed from last year."

"Your office floor, we've sorted it out, just go up by elevator, it's the 72nd floor, where you can overlook the entire area around the company plaza and the coastline in the distance."

The woman in formal dress respectfully introduced, walking in front of her with an elegant posture to lead the way, her movements were clear and clear, and she was as orderly as a professionally trained hostess.

The two walked into the elevator slowly, and the woman in formal clothes stretched out her hand and pressed the button, and the elevator slowly went up.

And the girls who were lucky enough to be chosen were led by other subordinates to go to unknown places through other elevators.

There was silence inside the elevator, and the woman in the formal suit pretended to stand calmly by the button in the elevator room, trying to look in the direction of the button and not to make eye contact with the man standing next to her.

She hadn't felt this kind of nervousness for a long time, and since she became the head of the company's logistics department, she rarely had this kind of nervousness anymore, and it was only when other subordinates faced her that she would show this kind of fear.

However, tonight, facing the CTO from the European headquarters, she suddenly seemed to be back to when she first joined the company, facing every boss with respect, for fear that if she didn't do well, she would be fired by the company.

It's the same now, even if she has enough to make a splash in Night City with her status, in the eyes of this CTO, she's just an ordinary little shrimp.

A casual sentence from someone was enough for her to completely pack up and leave.

In the final analysis, it is also because the man in front of him is from the European headquarters, he is the chief technology officer of Moore Technology, the real top boss in the world, and his assets are almost endless.

For example, the welcome ceremony that she took a lot of effort to organize tonight may seem to the other party to be just a happy little show.

Hopefully nothing will go wrong tonight...

Just when the woman was full of worry, the man standing aside suddenly said coldly:

"I heard that Goodwin kid died, didn't I?"

The woman in the dress trembled and replied in a low voice:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Luo Yin, we are doing our best to catch the murderer, and I believe there will be news soon."

"Come on, I don't come to Night City often, but I know what this place is." Luo Yin sneered disdainfully, not taking the woman's words too seriously.

At this moment, the elevator happened to come to the predetermined floor, and the man did not continue to talk when he saw this, and walked into the office that belonged to him with a cold face.

It's said to be an office, but it's more like an entire exhibition hall built on the floor.

The walls are made of special clear glass, and the crystal blue water is clear, and countless fish swim behind the wall glass, which is the entrance to the aquarium corridor.

Behind it are a variety of prosthetic components placed on the display table, and the specific information of the prosthetic body is engraved under the booth, from front to back are the leading products developed by Moore Technology for so many years, which are as luxurious as a prosthetic museum.

At the end of the hallway was a door, and the man walked over unhurriedly, and what appeared to be a wooden door opened automatically to welcome him.

The office behind the door is delicate and elegant, with silver candlesticks and gilded chandeliers, silky carpets on the floor, wallpaper plastered with gilt wallpaper, a large soft bed in the corner of the office, and a wine counter at the other end, on which the bottles are shining.

Step inside and you'll find it more like an elegant bedroom for Europe's top aristocrats than an office.

Luo Yin glanced at the office and nodded with satisfaction:

"It's pretty well organized."

He walked over to his desk and lay down relaxed, his eyes fixed on the woman in formal clothes standing in front of the doorway, a little uneasy.

"Let's talk about it first, how did that kid Goodwin die, I just got the news a few days ago, as his mentor, it is my responsibility to understand the cause of his death."

The woman bowed slightly, walked to the desk, and explained to him what had happened in a slower voice.

Luo Yin pinched his chin with his fingers and listened carefully, until the woman finished speaking, he sighed slightly:

"Sure enough, this is the Night City I know, and behind the prosperity is full of evils called freedom."

The woman bowed her head and was silent, listening carefully.

The leader wants to speak, how can she interject.

"How is the intelligence investigation going, has it found nothing?" Luo Yin didn't care too much and asked casually.

The woman replied with a serious expression:

"As for the information about the murderer, in fact, we already have a little eyebrows, he is carrying a katana with him, and he is loaded with Sianweistan, and it is initially expected that he is a member of the Tiger Claw Gang, or a newly rising fringe person, of course, we can't rule out the possibility that this is a deliberate disguise by the other party, because Director Goodwin was shot and killed."

"At the end of the day, I still can't find it, right?" Luo Yin was not surprised, sitting on an office chair and looking at the night view of Night City.

"I'm sorry, please give us a little time, we will be able to complete the task without a hitch." The woman's face was a little flustered.

She also felt helpless about the fact that she couldn't find the murderer.

According to information from the intelligence services, the only clues they have grasped are a few points.

Although the other party's physical characteristics have been extracted, in the absence of other clues at the moment, it is not so simple to find someone in a place like Night City.

Even if you have all the physical characteristics of the other party, you can't guarantee that the other party will go to an appearance modification operation, and all your current clues will be completely scrapped in an instant.

Don't you see the legend who is claimed to have disappeared in Night City, Morgan's Black Hand, and he still can't find a single hair?

Of course, if they were willing to use all the resources they had in Night City to find the murderer, they wouldn't be able to find it.

However, it is a pity that an ordinary director is not worth it.

Luo Yin smiled, and his tone became a little cold:

"I've not been to this city, which claims to be the freest city in the world, but do you know why I know it so well?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know." The woman said.

"Because in this world, the official will deceive people, the company will deceive people, but the market will not." Luo Yin recounted abruptly:

"Do you know what is the industry in Night City that is growing steadily every year?"

"I don't know." The woman pretended to be stupid in a very interesting way.

"It's the funeral industry, and in Night City, this industry is a new company hidden behind the scenes, and it is expanding the market with a steady growth rate every year." Luo Yin calmly replied:

"People will deceive people as long as they live, but the dead will not, so neither will the funeral industry."

The woman was silent, not uttering a word.

Even without Luo Yin continuing to speak, she could understand the meaning behind the other party's words.

"It's a messy place, so I know it's not that easy to find people here." Luo Yin said indifferently:

"But in the same way, chaos is also suitable for the progress of science and technology, the past years of war have given birth to the development of prosthetic technology, and some people have asserted that war is a catalyst for scientific and technological progress, but in fact, in fact, the ultimate essence has to be attributed to profit."

"This city is very suitable for the development of combat prosthetics, and Goodwin did a good job of developing the Type 3 of the Berserk Component in advance from the cyber psychiatric aspect, but unfortunately, he didn't live to the day when his honor came."

Luo Yin sighed very regretfully, but the expression on his face did not have much sadness.

He continued to focus on the woman, and finally looked the other person up and down seriously for the first time.

The well-fitting Moore Technology company uniform, a rather tight company uniform is worn on the body, and the outlined body curves are quite attractive, although the woman's face is no longer young, but it is also quite charming, and it should have undergone body thinning surgery.

"I came here early this time, you should know that my purpose is not because of that kid Goodwin." Luo Yin continued to say coldly.

The woman nodded.

"Mr. Luo Yin, you want to personally reach a cooperation with Arasaka Company, and use the technology of the Rage Component Type 3 as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Arasaka Company to develop subsequent models together."

"That's really my purpose, but I have another mission." Luo Yin said.

"Mr. Luo Yin, please speak." The woman asked respectfully.

"Kangtao's stock price has risen a lot inexplicably recently, according to the investigation at the headquarters, the problem should be in the Night City, you know, Kangtao has a branch called Qianji."

"Hmm."

"Qiantai is not a listed company, so there is not much information about it in the market, but it is certain that this company specializes in helping Kangtao deal with some shady things, including the prosthetic research industry in addition to smart weapons."

"I've got news from here that the company has recently developed a prototype of the experimental prototype of the Sianweistein 4," Luo Yin said calmly.

The woman in the formal suit asked in disbelief with wide eyes:

"How is it possible, they have absolutely no previous experience in similar R&D ... How is it possible to leapfrog the three models currently on the market and move to the development of Type 4 at once? ”

Luo Yin snorted coldly, and his tone was cold:

"It's not impossible, Arasaka Company, military technology, and Kangtao, which has risen in the last ten years, this kind of real overlord enterprise, their heritage is beyond your imagination."

"Even if you don't have relevant R&D experience, so what? It's nothing more than going to other companies to dig up some people, Qiantai company is the black hand they use to cover up their ugly behavior, don't underestimate this kind of giant level enterprise, as long as they are willing, it is not difficult for them to develop a new generation of prosthetic products. ”

The woman in the formal dress humbly lowered her head and whispered, "I understand, because of this, the headquarters decided to work with Arasaka Company to develop the follow-up berserk components, right?" ”

Luo Yin glanced at her in surprise, nodded slowly, and replied with a smile:

"You're right, once a hegemon like this gets the core technology of another company's specialty components, then they are fully capable of developing a new generation of products in a very short time, just like Goodwin's kid who worked hard to develop the Rage Component Type 3, if the technology is handed over to Arasaka, then they should be able to push the model to Type 5 within two years."

"And what is the point of our cooperation with Arasaka?" The woman in the dress asked softly.

Luo Yin stared at her for a long time, a treacherous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his dissolute gaze wandered on the woman's body:

"If you want to know, we can talk about it in detail tonight, I don't know if you want to."

The woman in the formal suit stiffened, raised her head to meet Luo Yin's gaze, and after confirming that he was not joking, she reluctantly smiled:

"If Mr. Luo Yin doesn't dislike me, I'll bother you, I'm willing."

"It's very interesting, it's good, I'm not going to hide it, you'll be in charge of this project from tonight, by the way, is there still a shortage of vice presidents here?" Luo Yin laughed presumptuously.

"At present, there are two vice presidents on the side of the Night City branch, and there is no shortage of positions for the time being." The woman replied.

Luo Yin nodded, threw out a chip casually, and said abruptly:

"It's okay, you can talk to the person in charge here later, and ask him to help vacate a place for you to sit on."

"Thank you, Mr. Luo Yin!"

The woman's face was overjoyed, and she didn't expect such an unexpected surprise at all.

Luo Yin glanced at her, and then continued:

"As for the question you just asked, let me explain it to you, that is, the research on neural components, and the research team led by me found a rule, such as speed components, furious components, implants such as speed components, and furious components, it is likely that products above type 3 are difficult to sell."

The woman was stunned and puzzled.

Isn't the product update iteration better and better in the future?

Why can't the better models of the components be sold?

Luo Yin's follow-up statement answered her doubts:

"Type 3 products, even for mercenaries with good strength, the side effects are already very unbearable, let alone those useless followers."

"So the follow-up Type 4 and Type 5, according to our research, unless the user is the world's top mercenary, or the elite of the army, otherwise, ordinary people will collapse after the last use, what kind of sales are they talking about?"

The woman suddenly realized, but another doubt arose:

"Then why did we develop the next Rage component with Arasaka?"

"Well, we can save that for tonight, and now I want to ask you a question." Luo Yin looked at the woman with a flirtatious gaze, as if admiring a beautiful toy:

"You should know how much impact it will have on our Rage Component Type 3 once the Sanwistein Type 4 is released, right?"

"I know." The woman nodded without thinking.

Even with these nervous system implants, the subsequent side effects of type 4 and type 5 are not something that ordinary people can bear.

But the question is, how many people know this truth today?

As long as the Sianweistein Type 4 is released, it will inevitably have a huge impact on the sales of the Fury Component Type 3.

After all, people are type 4, you are type 3, those who follow the trend will not rationally pursue cost performance, blind and ignorant buyers will only pursue cooler and better!

"So I still need your help to deal with one thing, we got some information, the vice president who is currently working in the Night City branch of the Chiyo Company, named Xu Wanxue, she is the main person in charge of the research and development of the Sianweistein Type 4 team, you can help deal with it." Luo Yin said with a blank face.

"Surname Xu? Is she from the Xu family? The woman in the formal suit looked stunned, and she didn't dare to agree to her boss's order for a while.

Luo Yintang glanced at her indifferently and replied:

"I understand what you're worried about, but you can't be afraid of this, she's just a member of the Xu family's side branch, not Xu Shiming's descendant, otherwise how could she be in a place like Night City?"

"As long as something happens to her, as long as the release of the Sianweistein Type 4 can be delayed, then for every additional day of delay, our company can reduce losses by tens of millions of euros, you know what to do, right?"

The woman calmed down and said calmly, "I understand. ”

"Very good, then I have finished explaining everything, oh, by the way, I still have a stretch car that has not been flown over, it is my car, in a few days, please help collect it." Luo Yin said with a smile.

"I will, Mr. Luo Yin." The woman should come down and say.

Luo Yin smiled, stood up and walked to the woman's side, grabbed her willow waist, and whispered: "Having said so much, I'm also a little thirsty, you can arrange for those ladies." ”

"Okay, Mr. Luo Yin." The woman replied gently, lingering for a moment, then turned to leave.

Walking slowly to the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, Luo Yin casually filled a cup of hot coffee on the coffee machine next to him, savored it, and prepared to refresh himself for tonight's long night.

He inadvertently glanced out the window, his expression slightly stunned.

At some point, a drizzle began to fall outside the building, and faint thunder appeared in the dark night sky, like a thunder snake.

"It's raining," he said, taking a sip of hot coffee, the warm liquid flowing down his throat.
