76th floor of Arasaka Tower, atrium rainforest park.

Towering trees rise from the ground, green shrub branches and leaves seem to have dew drops condensed on them, the "sky" of this level world takes on a dark green color, rockeries outline the rugged road conditions, and the sound of the waterfall can be faintly heard.

Stepping into this level world, it seems that time has come to a quiet night, and the few light sources left in the dim environment are the faint green light on the ceiling and the incandescent floor lamp buried under the hallway.

But the most surprising thing is the birds that inhabit this rainforest, and the only thing that can be heard in a quiet environment is the sound of birds, and it seems that the whole soul can be cleansed.

It's hard to imagine how much resources and money the Arasaka Corporation spent to build the rainforest inside the level, and it seems that their sole purpose in building the rainforest world was just a face-saving project.

The only technological artifacts visible throughout the floor are the main control terminal screen on the side of the road, the floor lamp buried in the hallway, and the long conference table at the end of the hallway.

Yes, in the cyber age, where biological resources are so scarce, such an extravagant rainforest that can be called green "gold", all this beautiful environment is just a foil to this table.

Only this table is the soul of this floor, and everything is just to make Arasaka Company have a little more aura and face at the negotiation table.

At this time, there were only two people sitting at the conference table, and a bright white light was projected from the rectangular lamp overhead, illuminating this small area of negotiation.

Looking at the surrounding green scene, Lin Mo also looked amazed, this was the first time he visited the tropical rainforest of the Arasaka Tower.

Although he has visited it a few times in the game, the hazy view of the screen is still not as shocking as the actual viewing.

He smiled and joked with Lai Xuan on the side:

"I've visited biotech buildings and wandered around them, and the only thing that impressed me was a green tree planted on the top floor... At the time, I thought it was a biotechnology company and I could plant trees in buildings, but now it seems that you Arasaka are the real biotechnology companies. ”

"It's a useless face-saving project, and the whole rainforest doesn't know how much people have spent on it, and the person in charge of designing the company building should be fired." Arasaka Lai Xuan said calmly.

His gaze stared at the spotless desktop for a long time, and his stunned eyes seemed to indicate that he was thinking about something, and even Lin Mo's jokes, he only responded casually and perfunctorily.

"Why, it's all this time, are you still hesitating?" Lin Mo looked at his wooden expression, and finally couldn't help but ask.

Lai Xuan's eyes moved, but soon dimmed again, and after a long silence, he still sighed faintly:

"I'm just wondering why Huazi has come to this point with me."

Lin Mo said helplessly: "You can't force everyone to be the same as you, and even if it weren't for my appearance, how many people do you think your own ideals can be understood?" Now those ordinary people outside have the same impression of you at all, and they still think that you are a rebel who longs for power, fights for power and is not compatible with his father. ”

Arasaka Lai Xuan smiled coldly and said disappreciably:

"There is an old saying in your country, called the bird's nest is the ambition of the bird, why do I need to seek the understanding of others if I want to do it myself."

"Isn't it normal for your sister not to understand you, according to you?" Lin Mo spread his hands and said with a little regret:

"But even I didn't expect her to be in such a hurry, yesterday was the memorial service for your two fathers, why did you two already start to have a showdown with each other today?"

Arasaka Huako's recalling of the "traitor" Goro Takemura can't hide the eyes of people with a heart at all.

Since she chose to do this, she thought that she also had to make a decision with Arasaka Yorixuan.

However, Lin Mo also has to admit that the timing chosen by Huazi is indeed perfect

- Arasaka Saburo "The bones are not cold", and the memorial service has just been held, so this also makes the Arasaka board of directors not fully affirm the status of Lai Xuan's heir.

The current Lai Xuan is only a "temporary" CEO, and it is not yet time to become a regular.

As for why Hanako Arasaka chose to "showdown" in advance, it may also be related to the death of Adam's hammer... Lin Mo guessed.

With his intervention, the main plot of the game has long been unrecognizable.

Now Lai Xuan does not have such a "heavyweight" combat figure as Adam Heavy Hammer by his side, but instead he is a "nameless" little boy...

Perhaps because of the evaluation of the difference in combat power between the two sides, Arasaka Huazi felt that he had the two top generals Takemura Goro and Oda, and he felt that they might win.

After all, according to the thinking inertia of normal people, Adam's hammer is not a "biochemical prosthetic person" on the street.

The little boy who replaced him now doesn't look like he has the strength to match the hammer, even if the strength is hard enough, there is a high probability that it will not be as hard as Takemura Goro and Oda.

However, just when Lin Mo was looking for a reason for Arasaka Huazi's impulsive behavior, Lai Xuan on the side suddenly said in his unprepared situation:

"I met with Hanako yesterday and talked to her about some things and hoped that she could support me in the position of CEO."

Lin Mo frowned, and suddenly realized that Lai Xuan seemed to want to say something, but he still asked seriously:

"And then?"

"She didn't answer me, but asked my father how Saburo died, and I was worried about leaving my tongue, so I didn't answer her question, but just said that my father might not be dead." Lai Xuan said.

Lin Mo's eyes widened slightly, he glanced at Lai Xuan in surprise, and couldn't help but ask:

"Was your sister particularly surprised?"

"Yes, she acted surprised, probably worried that I knew that the data imprint left by Saburo was on her hands, but she didn't take over my topic in the end, and chose to remain silent."

Lin Mo's expression became a little strange.

No wonder Arasaka Huazi chose to have a showdown with Lai Xuan today...

Dare to love is that you forced her to make a choice.

As if to see what Lin Mo was thinking, Lai Xuan glanced at him calmly, and then said lightly:

"That's right, I did it on purpose, according to the secret you mentioned before, I casually revealed a little bit to Huazi, it should have forced her to be anxious, and she felt that her hole cards had been exposed, and she had to confront me in person in advance."

"You're so ruthless?" Lin Mo asked worriedly.

Lai Xuan said blandly:

"It's better to have a long pain than a short one, and it's not a good idea to drag on this thing all the time, although I haven't been in the position of CEO yet, but she's also new to Night City, so who can she rely on besides the people she brought with her? In the end, it wasn't Goro Takemura who got it back. ”

"Okay, since you're mentally prepared, I won't let you down, I'll take care of those two guys, but you also have to remember my conditions, and first untie Goro Takemura's prosthetic body." Lin Mo put his hands together on the back of his head and leaned back on the chair leisurely.

What a weirdo... Lai Xuan glanced at him quite confusedly, but he didn't say what was in his heart.

Compared to Hanako Arasaka, who currently has no intelligence channels and knows little information, he knows that the boy in front of him is the real "killer", who can kill Adam's hammer in a head-to-head battle.

It is precisely for this reason that he has the confidence to face the bodyguards next to Huazi - Oda and Goro Takemura, the two top Arasaka ninjas.

Obviously, he already has "the advantage in me", but Lin Mo just wants him to lift the restriction of Takemura Goro's prosthetic body, and insists on creating convenience for the enemy, which really makes Lai Xuan scratch his head.

However, Lai Xuan also understood that Lin Mo would not fight an unprepared battle.

Now that he had placed all his bets on this boy, he could only choose to believe no matter how outrageous his request was.

"It's been untied this morning." Lai Xuan sighed rather nonchalantly.

"That's good." Lin Mo nodded, and wanted to continue to say something, but the sound of footsteps on the trail not far away interrupted what he was about to say.

"Here they are."
