Chapter 628: Lao Tzu is gone

In the game, the main character V has three origins to choose from, one of which is Company V.

Company V graduated from Arasaka College and joined Arasaka after graduation, initially in an unknown department, but was supposed to be in charge of intelligence warfare and rapid response tasks between various companies and Arasaka Company.

Later, Company V parachuted into the Arasaka Counterintelligence Department and became an assistant to Arthur Jenkins, a senior member of the Counterintelligence Department.

The body that Vincent crossed is Company V at the end of 2075.

At that time, he had just been transferred to the Counterintelligence Department and had not yet become an assistant to Arthur Jenkins.

As a time-traveler, Vincent has played Cyberpunk 2077 in his previous life and has also watched the spin-off anime "Edge Walker", so he is extremely familiar with the worldview of this world.

He knew that without the blessing of the system, with his ability, it would be impossible to shake the company's position.

Thinking about his own survival and life, he pondered for a long time and decided to continue climbing inside Arasaka.

Anyway, with his own strength, it is impossible to stir up the storm like V in the game.

It's better to follow the locals, mix into a company executive, and enjoy the life of a cyberpunk master.

As for what overthrows the company and changes the world, such a grand cause, it is better to leave it to more capable people to do!

With this self-hypnotizing idea in mind, Vincent began to work diligently for the Counterintelligence Division.

It wasn't until he succeeded in blending in with Arthur Jenkins as in the plot and became an assistant to the top of the counterintelligence department that the system that had been sleeping for a long time in him suddenly woke up.

Vincent stared blankly at the system panel in front of him, which only he could see.

When he came back to his senses, he resisted his excitement and began to study the sudden appearance of the golden finger.

Then he realized that something seemed wrong with this 'system'......

As far as he knows, the characters in the game have five main attributes, namely [Physical], [Reaction], [Intelligence], [Calmness], and [Technical Ability].

But the system he got only had two attributes: [Physique] and [Spirit].

And in the [System Prosthetic Mall], in addition to the high-level prosthetics that appear in those games and anime, there are also extremely outrageous technological items such as Iron Man Mark series suits and Zetari technology exoskeleton armor.

Seeing these things, Vincent was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but get excited.

With these things, let alone becoming a legend of Night City, even if it really becomes the 'V Quake' that is hung in the game, it is not completely impossible!

The only problem is that the various tasks issued by the system, as well as the way to earn experience and points, have to be carried out in Night City.

At that time, he was tasked by his boss to travel to the Jakarta summit.

This will be a waste of at least half a year......

Faced with the two contradictory choices of the company's mission and the system's mission, Vincent only pondered for half a second before making a decisive decision.

I'm gone!

What the fuck is going to be in the company, what the fuck is Arasaka!

Lao Tzu is all open, who will still give you the 996 worker?!

So, at the beginning of 2076, Vincent arrogantly came to the Arasaka Tower, turned down the mission in front of Arthur Jenkins, and then ...... He was fired from the Arasaka company.

In the name of beauty, it is necessary to export useful talents to the society.

Vincent didn't care about that, because it was the result he wanted.

In Cyberpunk 2077, V only left the company in 2077.

And Vincent's operation made him leave the company early in 2076.

All the hard work of the past has gone up in smoke, but Vincent is not lost.

Because a wider world and future are slowly opening up to him.

After leaving the company, Vincent found his long-time brother Jack Wilson and was introduced as a mercenary.

The two form a small team and begin to take on missions in Night City.

However, due to the system, Vincent's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and he can always find some military-grade legendary prostheses inexplicably, and no matter how many prostheses are installed, there will never be mental problems.

This made his good brother Jack very relieved and worried.

Even though Vincent repeatedly insisted that there was no problem, Jack still insisted that he carry immunosuppressants with him.

Since then, Vincent's missions have become increasingly dangerous, and he has even accepted employment from the NCPD to deal with cyberpsychosis.

This level of mission was too dangerous for Jack, and after some tangled thinking, Vincent finally decided to leave Jack's side for the time being and become a lone wolf mercenary.

After that, Vincent, who became a lone wolf, became more and more famous.

But no matter how famous he was, he always wore a suit, carried a briefcase, and dressed quite decently.

According to his explanation, this is a habit that has been developed in the company before.

But in reality, suits and briefcases are the default appearance of system equipment.

The former is a special bulletproof suit for the system mall, and the latter is equipped with five cubic meters of space.

The reason why Vincent is dressed like this is only because he is reluctant to spend system points to change the appearance of these two pieces of equipment!

……

……

In the apartment, Vincent sipped coffee and flipped through his mail.

The three members of the Vortex Gang that he had killed before, as well as the hapless Tiger Claw Gang fraudster just now, were completely ignored by him.

Because in Night City, things like this are all too common!

If nothing else, yesterday's Death Lotto was a full 80 people.

Among them, there were at least thirty or so bodies of scavengers, which he had disposed of casually as he passed by.

No way, who made them scavengers?

Scavengers are mostly low-level and murderous scum who are accustomed to attacking unsuspecting passers-by or hooligans, harvesting their cyber prosthetics and organs and selling them on the black market.

In their eyes, human life is just a pile of cobbled together goods that can be exchanged for money on the black market.

Organ trafficking, reselling prosthetic bodies...... As long as it is a profitable business and task, they will not hesitate to take it, without the slightest honor or purpose.

Of course, they don't have a strict organizational plan, and the structure is very loose.

Because of this, they are also the most abundant and difficult to get rid of in Night City.

Thankfully, the number of dead scavengers has surged by 1,700 percent in the past six months, and the number of corpses dragged outside the city for incineration alone can fill an entire garbage dump.

With such efficiency, the king of Hades has to give a thumbs up when he sees it, and praise it for his good work!

“…… Well, another bunch of spam and scam emails. ”

"I'll have to ask Lucy to come over in a few days and help me upgrade the firewall."

Vincent muttered as he flipped through the email.

At a glance, most of the classic spam messages on it are [##超级医药彩票##] [##丁丁壮大纳米凝胶诈骗警告##] [I'm Johnny's silver hand, transfer money to me].

Suddenly, Vincent frowned and clicked on an email from David.

【Warning! You've been attacked! 】

Seeing the end, Vincent couldn't help but have black lines on his head.

Isn't this a very popular warning scam message in the past two years?

He scrolled the page to the top, looked at the sender's name a few times, and then his eyes flashed through the data stream, and he called someone with black lines all over his head.

"Hey, boss, what's the matter?"

"You're big!" Vincent was angry, "You sent me this scam email?" ”

"Huh?"

"Ah what, say no."

"Definitely not, maybe it's the same name!"

Vincent's face was full of suspicion, and he was about to continue to ask, when he suddenly received another phone call.

[Regina Jones requests a call ......]

Vincent frowned slightly: "Wait, don't hang up yet, here's the news." ”

After saying that, Vincent hung up the message of his younger brother David in the background and took the call from Regina Jones instead.

"Hey V, how was your day?"

Vincent thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, "It's not bad, what's the matter, there is cyber psychosis in Watson again?" ”

"Everyone is an old acquaintance, let's talk about it directly, no need to be polite, I still have a phone on my side that hasn't hung up!"

Regina Jones sighed lightly: "Okay, then I'll say it bluntly, I have a mysterious customer here, who asks you to take a task by name, he is very generous, but the intelligence is a little stingy, saying that he is willing to say it when he sees you himself, what do you think?" ”

Vincent quickly got to the point: "How generous?" ”

Regina Jones said with a smile: "The preliminary decision is that the honorarium is 20,000 euros, plus the channel to provide military-grade prosthetics, but I don't think he cares about this price, maybe he can mention it a little more." ”

Vincent's eyes lit up and said decisively: "Okay, I'll take it, where will we meet?" ”

Regina Jones laughed, "Old place, afterlife bar." ”

Vincent didn't hesitate to say, "No problem. ”

With that, he hung up the phone and picked up another communication.

"David!"

"Yes, yes, boss, I really didn't do it......"

"Less!" Vincent interrupted him without hesitation, then smiled and said, "Inform Jack and Mann, gather the team and wait for me, we have work to do!" ”
