The next stop is Arasaka Academy.

According to the annual report provided by the magazine Night City Perspective, Arasaka Gakuin has been ranked No. 1 among educational institutions in Night City for the fourth time in a row.

According to the magazine's education experts, Arasaka Gakuin's infrastructure education is unrivaled in Night City, and this is recognized from any angle.

", other public schools may be shooting in a few days."

V complained mercilessly.

Yes, Night City is a big city of freedom, adults have the freedom of adults to shoot big and small guns on the street, minors also have it, and there is an additional battlefield map, which is the campus.

The only reason this matter has not been singled out is that minors have the same rights as adults in the name of the night, so there is no difference in the calculation of shooting cases.

Lille has a journal review of independent media in his hand, and it is clear that the author is critical of Arasaka Academy.

In the follow-up, he focused on the high dropout rate and the incidence of depression at Arasaka College.

Then the next article is an advertisement for a certain college sponsored by the military department.

This is not an exaggeration of Arabaka, and the second half of the report blames the college for its high dropout rate, high depression and even suicide.

Tsk, seriously, the Academic Affairs Office encourages comparison of grades, and it is not enough to learn some skills honestly. ”

V didn't quite understand Lille's behavior: "I said, wouldn't it be nice for you to have this time and let us do more work?" What's the use of throwing money into it to get a certificate of completion?

Maybe there's a new clue? ”

"Your education level is too low, it's hard for me to explain to you..."

"Hehe, you have a high level of education, and you don't even have an education record, so I'm embarrassed to say."

"Two customers, you have arrived at the destination of this service: Arasaka Gakuin, and the destination is on your right."

With the prompt of the driverless taxi Delaman, the two have arrived at the gate of Arasaka Academy.

As an affiliated college of the most powerful companies in Night City, its location is also quite good, next to the City Council.

Education has become more extreme in the world of 2077, and intermediate schools like Arasaka Gakuin do not have a super-company and high-paying parents have to pay for a lifetime of debt to support their children's education.

However, this is only at the secondary level, and higher level diplomas, such as the prestigious Askaga-Berkeley Law Diploma, cost at least 270W.

But is it worth it?

The answer is that in the eyes of the high-level people, this thing is very important, but in the eyes of the bottom, it is better to go out and work early.

The University of Askaga Berkeley has produced a large number of talented lawyers, most of whom have served as politicians in major powers, and some have served as legal attachés and consultants in corporations.

For example, the current candidates for mayor of Night City, Mr. and Mrs. Perarez, come from the law department of this school and know how to use this connection.

The bottom can't afford to read, and they can't get into that circle, so they naturally can't imagine the benefits of academic qualifications.

The vast majority of poor parents send their children to Arasaka Academy, and it's just... Imagine that just reading a book can change your fate.

Of course, Lille couldn't afford that kind of diploma either.

Well, she didn't understand it at all, and she said to Lille: "Okay, then you can go to the exam yourself, Jack and I will go to the wolf bar for a drink and call if we have something." ”

"Understood--you really think of me as a weak chicken?"

Lil pointed to his head—by this time he had loaded a puppet into the access pod, and the prosthetic body was hot.

Getting a bargain from the Kabuki district, Lille plans to develop his own puppets, which is just a contingency.

"Don't be robbed by the thugs again, cry and tell your sister V to find a place for you - let's go, Lao De, wolf bar."

Seeing V leave, Lille looked at the time, knocked another immunosuppressive pill, and walked into Arasaka Academy.

Continuing education and full-time education are not the same in that they are for young people who have dropped out of school, i.e. adult education.

And legally, this continuing education college does not actually belong to Arasaka College, it is another investment in education by Arasaka, and it happens to be near Arasaka College for good publicity.

It is mainly based on technical training, and the scheme chosen by Lille is teaching + assessment, which will not have detailed real-life training and AI-customized courses, which is relatively rough.

But the advantage is that it's cheaper, and if Lille passes the skills certification test after education, it can get a part of the tuition fee waived --

Sounds amazing, right? The company will actually spit out the money back?

But this test is not simple, it is a real social certification, such as Lao Wei's A-level prosthetic doctor license.

In fact, not necessarily one in 10,000 people who pass the test, and it is necessary for the company to reserve such talents.

Even if they don't have access to that talent, it's necessary to co-opt and squeeze out the talent pool of other competitors, so it's actually a strategic expense.

If you pass the test and are willing to comply with the work assignment of the college, you can continue to reduce the tuition fee.

However, further education also requires passing an entrance test - no company is interested in the mentally handicapped.

The College of Continuing Education is located at the main entrance, which is very ordinary compared to the center of the college in the distance, and is separated from the interior of the college.

Walking through the high-rise buildings and approaching the college area, you can feel the grandeur of the company building, and the large green space makes people realize its uniqueness.

Yes, the building here is not high, but with such a luxurious usage, it must be in the same league as the surrounding companies.

This gives the illusion that the company building and Arasaka Gakuin are like adults and children standing together.

When you look at this pair of adults and children, you always feel that the children must grow up to be adults.

When adults and children stand together, no one cares what the child is like.

Some children enjoy this feeling, just like the part that walked out of Arasaka Academy at this moment... Little bastard, those nostrils are going to reach to the sky.

Those who don't know think they have graduated with an annual salary of one million.

Lille looked at a few children who didn't have to look at him squarely and thought: Huh... Going to Arasaka to be an executive is employment, and going to Arasaka's factory to screw is also employment.

Don't let me see you during the robbery of Arasaka - Lille thought again: Oh, it's best not to let yourself see it when you're an executive.

But he suddenly felt that when he was a good student before, he might have the same expression as those people in society...

How do students know what part of society they will be in the future?

On the Arasaka Tower? Biotech farms? Or a prosthetic worker on the assembly line in Orbital City?

But now – they enjoy the best education, the very children who enjoy the protection of the company.

"Mr. Dennis Burger King, please enter room 3 for the test."

The broadcast called out Lille's pseudonym.

......

Soon, Lille also felt the gap between ideals and reality.

[Is it true or wrong to claim that Sänwistein is actually an ancient magic that uses energy fields to form time-warping regions?] Please give a brief explanation and briefly describe how Silvistein works. 】

Who would believe this?

Lille was amazed: indeed, the technology of different worlds seemed strange to each other.

But... Cyberpunk 2077 is still the upper limit of the world's speed of light, and time is not so easily distorted.

Given that he had such a thing on his spine, Lille of course answered it smoothly.

The next ones are more normal, and most of the simple ones are small technical science that can be found on the Internet, such as the two signal transmission mechanisms that exist in the human body - electrical signals and biological signals.

The more difficult thing is the theoretical model of bioelectric signals, and the detailed explanation of the transformation mechanism of digital signals and biological signals.

Lille is applying for an A-level medical license and an A-level technical expert assessment training course, so there are also design topics such as the chemical formula of alcohol-2 synthesis and the self-designed and usable alcohol-2 generator.

Both are relatively basic - if the person who is applying for the course wants to be admitted to these two types of A-level licenses.

Before he came, Lille had made up for this knowledge with Lao Weixi, with prosthetic assisted memory, plus his comprehension ability accumulated in two lifetimes, and there was no pause in answering the questions.

However, as he finished answering all the technical assessment questions, the questioner paused.

Then intriguing questions are given.

【Arasaka is the world's top integrated company, would you like to join Arasaka?】 】

Lille's answer was "No, I have other plans for my life, but living in Night City, learning to deal with Arasaka is a must".

It sounds like a compliment, but it's actually true.

【Are you resistant to choosing Arasaka's services?】 】

Lille thought for a moment and filled in: "On the contrary, if Arasaka can provide the service I want, I will happily buy it, like this educational product".

[If you want to become a supernumerary employee at Arasaka Company, how would you plan your career and have a good life?] 】

"Supernumerary staff" ...

This should be similar to the question used for psychological profiling, where a mental portrait of a certain aspect is made by asking the subject about relevant questions.

The first is that the term is not clear.

The electricians who work hard every day to manage the wires in Westbrook also meet the conditions, and the hackers who occasionally help the company do dirty work in Taiping State also meet the conditions, mercenaries, killers...

Whichever one the subject chooses, it will naturally show his subconscious tendencies.

And the first thing that came to his mind was actually the middleman --

If so, the answer is: build a good relationship with Arasaka, open up the financial chain, use money and means to control the locals, and brutally suppress all competitors.

This was intended to be the only channel of communication between the local and upper classes.

Secondly, it is necessary to create a confrontation between the two, which is the basis for the existence of intermediaries, helping the company find people, helping the locals to do the company dogs, and even licking the NCPD... It all depends on the situation.

At the same time, keep your distance from Arasaka.

When necessary, the risk of possible job hopping was revealed, so that Arasaka's management did not dare to entrust the task with high confidentiality requirements to himself.

In this way, it is not easy to face the cruel choice of going to death or being recruited, and hold your own life in your hands as much as possible.

The company may change, and the people at the bottom will die, but... The only constant is the barrier between the two classes.

Navigate sharp confrontations, remain calm and independent, and not be implicated by either side, but at the same time earn the benefits of both sides.

When making enemies, it is a cockroach that is difficult to step on for the company, and it is a big man with hands and eyes to the people at the bottom.

This is Night City's wall-riding faction, the middleman.

Thinking of this, Lille began to answer the question:

"It's a job that only fools can do."
