100. There is nothing that an explosion can't solve
[Arif Iqbal: Hello viewers, and welcome to this episode, followed by local news. γ
[Joaquin Schmidt, the notorious "butcher of Watson," has just been handed over to the NCPD building, and the 26-year-old suspect is wanted for the murder of 21 people, including his sister and mother.] γ
[The court will hear in three weeks, and if his death sentence is confirmed, the execution will be made public and broadcast live to the public.] If you want to watch it at home, you can watch it through the address at the bottom of the screen. γ
[An NCPD spokesperson wants to capture Joaquin Schmidt's unsung hero, claim his prize within two weeks, and if you don't show up, you will be tacitly considered a potential cyberpsychosis.] γ
[The next message will be broadcast next:]
γAttention Residents of Charter Hill!γ Recent research funded by Whole Foods has shown that the region's tap water already contains excessive levels of lead and cadmium and pose a significant threat to human health. γ
[The Water Authority claims that bottled water is still the safest option to avoid diseases caused by unhygienic drinking water.] Don't forget, whole foods are always the best at a good price! γ
[An ART spokesperson said the water pollution was linked to the large-scale firefight in Taiping Prefecture last month, and there were toxic substances in the water that could not be broken down for the time being.] γ
[It is reported that the poisonous substance may have some connection with the monsters that operate around the city.] γ
[The specific situation is still under investigation, and we will continue to follow up.] γ
Paso turned off the electronic brain announcer, lit a cigarette and said, "Fuck, I can't catch up with so many good things." β
Randall, who was wearing a yellow hood and a respirator mask, looked over: "What? β
Paso said: "The butcher in Watson District was arrested, and the fire fight in Taiping Prefecture I heard that there are a lot of Voodoo Gang chips left at the scene, if I am present, ......"
"Then you'll have to die, too." Gullis, a woman with patchwork skin all over her body, said.
Paso: "Don't think I'm afraid to grass you if you're a woman." β
"it." Gulis said: "Taiping Prefecture said that it was a rush incident, but in fact, one person cut off half of the Voodoo Gang, what can you do there?" Contribute some inferior parts to the black market? β
Paso: "Hell...... Nonsense. β
"Believe it or not." Gulis gave him a blank look and shouted to the person next to him, "Kak, don't play with electric airplane cups on the street!" β
"What are you afraid of, the sun hasn't come out yet."
"When are we going to act?"
Randall said, "There's a couple of guys coming over there, Grayson, wait a little longer." β
At the same time, the lemon-colored vintage sedan was parked on the side of the road.
Li Nuo pulled out the socket connected to the back of his head, and the navigation map and radio in the car were turned off.
He had to admire, it was not as convenient as a smartphone.
It's 4:48 p.m.
Li Nuo sorted out the equipment and supplies, he put the rifle, spare pistol, and [Eight Star Gun] into his backpack, and the remaining five slots were reserved for chestnut wine*2, randomly composed mod PokΓ© Balls, military technology to make daggers, and Daybreak Cannon.
Carrying various types of bullets from the harvest, he put the hunter's clothes, iron rods, and folding stools into the [weapon case].
Two [High North Winds] and five [Burning Grenades] were also carried into their clothes.
To put it simply, he's now a barrel of explosives that can be detonated at any moment.
But what worries Li Nuo the most now is the electronic brain installed in the back of his head, which doesn't have it...... It will affect the function of the implant, but there is...... It can also be hacked into the brain by hackers or puppeteers.
Cyber hackers know everything about computer systems, programming languages, and how to write or modify killer viruses. If they had access to the warehouse in their hands, they were no less dangerous than the company soldiers armed to the teeth.
Assuming there are Ghost in the Shell puppeteers in this world, then these guys may be able to reset your memories without anyone knowing.
Coupled with the events experienced by Kalian's father, it is on the surface that the so-called aliens may have mastered higher-level brainwashing methods.
"If you encounter an invasion, you can quickly turn on the [Remnant Blood] to offset the negative BUFF, but I basically haven't done any implant modification, the problem is not big, and it ......" Li Nuo looked at the group of mercenaries outside the car window: "There is cannon fodder." β
Li Nuo picked up his cane and dropped a remote-controlled bomb before getting out of the car.
He bought a lot of things along the way, whether it was parts or electronic drawings, he collected everything he could, and by the way, he also caught a murderer and made a side line.
In the cyberpunk world, you can pay directly by connecting the brain socket, which is not as convenient as the QR code.
Across the road is Kabukicho, where a team of mercenaries led by Randall is waiting.
Paso snuffed out the cigarette and said with a puff of smoke, "Randall, why hasn't that Grayson's man arrived yet?" β
Randall said, "Hell knows, wait ten more minutes." β
"Hey, look at that stupid B across the road."
They watched as Leno got out of the car.
Paso: "You mean, he's Grayson's guy?" β
Gullis: "No way, you see what he's wearing, a casual outfit, a...... He carried a coffin? β
Randall looked at the electronic watch, then looked up at the other side of the road.
Lino walked over to them.
"It can't really be him, can it?" Randall muttered quietly.
"Brother, I said...... Is that Grayson reliable? Paso said.
At this time, Li Nuo put his hand into the plastic bag he was carrying.
The mercenaries on the other side narrowed their eyes, and even those who were playing with electric airplane cups raised their heads.
I saw Li Nuo take out a piece of chocolate from the plastic bag, tear open the package and stuff it into his mouth......
He stood in front of the group of mercenaries, no one on either side spoke, they were scrutinizing Li Nuo.
"Hmm......" Li Nuo swallowed the chocolate and handed over the plastic bag: "There are delicious bars in it, do you want to eat it?" β
Gulis: "I like oranges, do you have them?" β
Li Nuo: "No, but it smells of orange." β
"Is that the point! Now is not the time to eat delicious bars! Paso shouted, "Hey! Who the are you! β
"Oh, by the way......" Li Nuo took out a delicious stick and put it in his mouth, then took out an electronic card from his pocket, clicked on it, and flashed a light curtain, which read: Mercenary recommended by Grayson.
Paso, Gullis, Randall, and the remaining four mercenaries stared wide-eyed.
Paso exhaled and said, "Friend...... You know what we're going to do, right? β
Li Nuo nodded: "Well, killing people is more than good." β
"Then you, with a bag of snacks......" Paso looked at Li Nuo, a harmless face, an orange casual suit, a large satchel, a Victorian gentleman's cane pinned to the belt, except for the eyes and the coffin he was carrying, he looked like cannon fodder who would die at any time because of his involvement in gang fights, Paso smiled: "Have you ever applied for a murder with your mother?" β
"I'm sorry, it's not what you think, I haven't eaten in a long time." Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders: "Besides, I didn't buy this food." β
"You picked it up in the gutter?" Paso laughed.
"That's not it...... Today is the first time I drove, and I accidentally crashed the car, so I hijacked the car on the way, and when I drove to the road, I found that the compartment had been swaying, and it turned out to be a man and a woman playing a piston game in that small space, I was not happy, I was carjacking, and they were too serious! Li Nuo took out the snacks, threw the plastic bag into the empty trash can, and continued: "So I raised my grievances to them, I need to make amends, they can do theirs, but you can't be in the car, it's disrespectful, so the man gave me the car and the delicious bar they were going to use." β
"Vomit ββ!" Gulis, who was eating a delicious bar, spit out.
"Don't worry, I'm taking all the things they haven't used yet." Li Nuo said nonchalantly, and shoved the last delicious stick into his mouth.
"Oh my God...... Paso said he lit another cigarette into the main street......
"Alright, let's go." Randall said, "There's a cyber psycho that hits Arasaka Tower, and it's full of people from the company, and we're going to get noticed if we're here too long." β
The group of mercenaries, led by Randall, consisted of seven men.
Originally, Grayson's side was going to invite a dozen people to join them, but now only Li Nuo, who was involved, was left.
When stepping into Kabukicho, Li Nuo got a prompt from the system:
[Note, the quest has begun]
[In view of your low level, here's a reminder:]
[This quest involves a hidden world view, and the difference between the upper and lower limits of difficulty is huge, and if you are not careful, you will fail]
[Again, this quest involves the Witcher's race advancement, weapon workshop, and hidden world view, please pay attention to every information on the road, and proceed with the quest carefully]
γHave a nice tripγ
It's like you're going to send me on my way.
Li Nuo looked up at the mercenaries in front of him.
Mercenaries generally work with intermediaries who are responsible for organizing a pool of professionals with the right skills for their clients.
The middleman will take care of all the red tape in the dirty work, and if you want, you don't even have to meet the mercenary who is doing the work, the task will be completed quickly and discreetly, and of course, at the right price.
Most of the mercenaries come from the streets, working hard by any means until they catch the attention of the middleman.
In the end, there are only a handful of people who can become legends like Morgan's Black Hand or Andrew "Old Snake" Wayland.
Speaking of which...... This mission was originally for Grayson to fall in love with Jack Wells, who was the protagonist V's partner in the early game game.
Li Nuo thought about it, the difficulty of the task is very high, because Jack, as V's best friend, the system should more or less not let him fall into a certain death situation, but it will not make Jack famous now, so the task must be difficult to make the mercenary team almost completely wiped out, but it can save Jack's life.
Li Nuo thought that if he had no problem pondering it, there should have been systematic intervention in this task.
For example, when Jack is in danger, a helicopter falls from the sky, and the danger he faces is stoned to death, and then the trauma team appears, or the police intervene to force Jack out of the mission.
He put on the Mask-Mask of the Emir and observed the abilities of these mercenaries at the rear.
[El Randick: Lv. 11]

The cyberpunk worldview and the Witcher worldview are of the same nature.
They are all normal humans, and they will not be like people in Japanese RPGs who can comprehend the "Demon God Slash" by waving a weapon into the air for two years.
Bullets will kill them.
Efforts are also impossible to become superhuman.
But here, because of the prosthetic modification technology, the lower limit of ordinary people is relatively high.
It's just that the height of the mechanical ascension is on par with the technological level of the worldview, and excluding the future V, Adam's hammer is already the ceiling of the human race in the worldview, if that guy is still human.
Based on the above information, as well as Li Nuo's thoughts on systemic urine.
He felt that the task would be more difficult because he was there.
"Everyone knows our mission, right?" Randall whispered as he stepped into Kabukicho.
Everyone was nodding, only Li Nuo raised a hand: "I don't know." β
"You're playing?" Paso asked.
Randall threw a chip to Lenovo: "See for yourself." β
As the leader of the mercenary team, Randall is a man of few words and a man of action.
He's actually similar to David Martinez in that he also has Snwestein installed, but generally he doesn't use anything that adds to the physical load.
Randall knew that he was not a special person, and that his hole cards would only be used to save his life.
Lino caught the chip, but it didn't fit into the groove in the back of his head.
It feels weird, like yourself, and it's dangerous, with a panel popping up on the chip that only players can see:
[Suspicious chips]
[Brief description: It is not dangerous, because whether you use it or not, it is dangerous, but there is a lot of information in it]
[This item cannot be taken out of the script]
"A lot of information...... Li Nuo thought for a while, he went to the small booth next to him to borrow a player, inserted the chip into it, and a piece of information was released on the screen.
[The Night Clan Company has entrusted you to go to Kabukicho, Watson District to find alien lifeforms, that guy may be a robot]
[But don't worry, you just need to follow the coordinates to find key evidence, as for why we are so sure...... Don't ask, remember who you are.
[Use your own expertise to find out that alien lifeform, as for the employment fee, I will tell you, after this list is over, you should be able to retire]
[Finally, I would like to remind you that this matter cannot be known to any third party, if you are found by the Wasteboard or other organizations, please erase your own memories, or we will help you erase them]
Ye's Company ......
Li Nuo quickly sorted out the cause and effect.
In this world, every organization or thing has its own set of rules of conduct behind it.
Gangs: Flesh and blood, mechanical ascension.
AI: Break the black wall and return to the world.
Night: Take control of power and purge dissidents.
Like the world view of "The Witcher", "Cyberpunk 2077" also has a mastermind like the mirror master behind the world to control the direction of the world.
He or they are Mr. Blue-Eyed who is associated with the Night's Company.
Through the voice of the mission commission, it can be guessed that Mr. Blue-Eye may be looking for aliens, which reflects that the aliens are avoiding Blue-Eye.
Leno realizes that this mission involves the truth behind the entire cyber world.
The game between the aliens who break the worldview and the blue eyes who manipulate the worldview is played out here.
This is more exciting than the main story...... Li Nuo sneered, and looked around, they had entered the interior of Kabukicho.
The surroundings are noisy and the environment is dirty.
Watson Ward, where Kabukicho is located, was supposed to be the beating heart of Night City.
There were skyscrapers, nightclubs, corporate buildings, and even top-notch medical centers β until the financial crisis destroyed them all.
Today, it's the poorest part of Night City, with bad streets.
One of the most noisy markets is the "Kabuki District", a string of bewildered alleys not far from the old medical center.
Despite its notoriously crowded, dirty, and scammers, if you're keen to haggle for bargains, you have to come.
Today, though, is a bit of a special situation.
Because of David Martinez's relationship with Adam Hammer, the soldiers of the Wild Board surrounded the entire Watson district.
Kabukicho is a great place for Tibetans, so naturally it will not be ignored.
The streets and alleys were littered with barren people, and the police were also in the vicinity.
The mercenaries' path was stopped by several soldiers.
Randall whispered, "Damn...... Theoretically, we should go to the building group above the A2 entrance, but it is full of security personnel, and it is inconvenient to move. β
Someone said, "How about I hack into their system and cause some trouble?" β
"And then the company dogs that are big enough for mothers will catch us," Paso said. β
Gu Lisi looked at Li Nuo and said jokingly, "Newcomer, do you have any ideas?" β
Li Nuo put his hands in his trouser pockets and shrugged his shoulders: "Yes." β
"Sell your ass?" Paso laughed.
"Hmm......" Li Nuo lowered his head with a serious expression.
"Damn, are you seriously thinking about it?" Paso was shocked, could this guy be a potential cyberneurotic?
Randall said, "Don't make a fuss, what can you do to lure the people here away without exposing us?" β
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of an explosion was heard in the distance.
The flames rose into the sky, darkening the night, and the people and police shouted as they organized their troops to rush to the entrance of Kabukicho, where they saw a car explode.
The police officers blocking the mercenary team's route and the slab employees on the floor looked at the area of the explosion.
And inside Kabukicho.
The mercenaries took advantage of this to successfully enter the path intercepted by the Desert Soldiers.
When there was no one here, they turned their heads and looked at Li Nuo, who was walking last.
The light of the explosion made the front of Li Nuo's whole person covered in shadows.
Randall swallowed and asked, "What did you do?" β
"When there's some little trouble." Li Nuo took out the miniature remote control of the remote-controlled bomb placed in the car from his trouser pocket, and said with a smile: "We only need a little explosion to solve the problem." β
That one...... Regarding the problem of being late in the past two days, it is mainly because I was supposed to reverse the jet lag, but it turned upside down......
For example, I slept until 6 p.m. today...... Slept for 14 hours.
So I decided not to fall.
Also, I looked back today and realized that Cyberpunk had only been written for three days, but all the threads were about to start recycling.
In the next plot, I will try to make it impossible for you to guess the development as the main theme, and if you guess, it will be pure coincidence~
That's it...... Wrote it.
