The two walked all the way into the event venue, and most of the people around them were discussing the shooting at the Dewdrop Hotel.

Everyone heard the explosion, so loud that it was thought that there had been an explosion like that in Santo Domingo, and it made people panic.

There are some strange things in addition to this.

"Thank you for your boyfriend's contribution to the unification of the United States, who died heroically in the terrorist attack on Martin Luther King Jr. Street.

After our investigation, you are the last relative of this kid. Tsk, according to his military rank, the pension is a total of 500 euros.

Did you get it? Yes?! ”

V saw a Six Street Gang on the side of the street handing out "death benefits", and it looked like the Dewdrop Hotel had indeed killed a lot of Six Street Gang guys.

But there is even a pension?

The soldiers of the Six Street Gang were quite impatient, and the reason was simple, there was a man standing next to this "widow".

When the woman heard the news, she was struck by lightning, and then she turned around and slid into the man's arms crying, without answering the Sixth Street Gang's questions.

The soldier instantly roared: "Are you deaf!" I ask if you received it! Fuck you stinky bitch! ”

A man and a woman were startled by this roar, and the woman's tears were sucked back into the tear glands:

Cybertron's special skill for transforming people, because of some cheap prosthetics on the face, can cause negative pressure on the tear glands when frightened.

"I heard you!" The woman wiped her tears, "I'll live well with this money, but how long will 500 euros last?" ”

How long does 500 last? That's a good question.

According to the price of Night City, it is more than enough to buy a human life, but if it is pure life, it really won't be long.

Miraculously, the man's face also showed real sadness, he gritted his teeth and touched the woman's head: "Honey, it's okay, I'll join Sixth Street to help you." ”

"But you can't even hold a gun"

"That can be learned—I'm going to join the Six Street Gang!"

The man suddenly looked at the soldier with his head held high, and the latter was stunned for a moment, he was still thinking about whether to beat the dog man and woman after the pension.

But now the man is his own.

So he laughed meaningfully, patted the man's shoulder, and shoved a jade sound into his hand - this old gun didn't know if it could fire normally:

"Hahahaha. Interesting, come, get this gun, and when you kill a thief, you can report to the recruiting office. ”

The man grabbed the gun and said firmly to the woman in his arms, "Don't worry, I will work hard for our family." ”

The two kissed passionately, and the sun shone on them - even after passing through the black smoke, the light seemed a little illusory.

"What a bloody drama." V was stunned when he saw this plot, "I thought that man was her father at first." ”

"It's too messy, it's too messy, Heywood wouldn't be like this." Jack shook his head, "The American spirit has begun to share his wife." ”

The two of them walked towards a small bungalow, where the sergeant sat - he would wait until the right time to appear outside.

"Two. Why is one missing? ”

"The event hasn't started yet, there's something to prepare - you're still giving people a pension?"

"Of course." The sergeant snorted, then lit a cigarette for himself, "Isn't it natural for a soldier to have a pension for the dead?" We at the Six Street Gang are regular military organizations. ”

"It's really formal, it can be seen that it's very popular, there is a woman at the door who has changed her husband when she pays a pension, but just now her new husband has joined you."

The sergeant was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "It's none of my business, as long as he can contribute to the Six Street Gang." ”

V didn't say anything about it, shrugged his shoulders and sat down on the couch across from the sergeant.

"I said you guys, why don't you pick a better place to hold an event?"

"What's wrong with this place? It's a nice place. The sergeant took a deep breath of his cigarette, "But it's really not as good as the scenic spot, who let Valentino take that place?" ”

Lijing is now a more complex area, Valentino is active there, the NCPD is also haunted there, and the people of the Six Street Gang will also pass, but there, the Six Street Gang does not have much industry.

It's just some stunned young people and street slickers going there to stir up trouble.

But a long time ago, Lijing District was also the place where the Six Street Gang made their fortunes.

After speaking, he looked at Jack, who wanted to stop talking: "Okay, I know what you want to say, you are still young and don't know what happened at that time." ”

V showed an interested expression: "Then tell me?" ”

"I said? If you want me to say, the people of Lijing District owe the Sixth Street Gang a big favor! If it weren't for Lao Tzu leading people to take down the law and order, it would still be a place outside the law!

As a result, things settled down, and Valentino and the NCPD drove us away, which is really corrupt. ”

Jack was a little unconvinced.

Valentino is a gang whose main bond is blood ties, which leads to some reaction to these statements even though he is no longer Valentino's man.

There were some discrepancies from what he knew.

"If you are really that good, how can you be driven away? I know that local residents have jointly reported you to the NCPD. ”

"Huh." The sergeant scoffed, "You're not going to believe that, it comes down to no money - look at this gun." ”

He pulled out a smart assault rifle from the box behind him, and the livery had been changed to an American style.

"Look, Nokota's advanced prototype 'points can be done', the smart chip can lock up to 5 enemies, what else will the bullet induce when it enters the human body. Chemical corrosion, awesome, right?

I intend to use it as the final prize for this shooting competition. ”

V and Jack don't know why: Is it awesome to lock on 5 enemies?

Their "AI lock-on system" can lock on to more than five enemies at a time, huh?

The air froze for a moment, and V nodded, "Uh-huh, awesome." ”

The sergeant also noticed that there seemed to be a hint of disdain in V's tone. It should be an illusion.

So he continued: "Although we are having difficulties in business now, it is not difficult to find a few boxes of these high-quality weapons in the warehouse.

But we didn't have any of that stuff when we first started, and there were rumors out there that the Six Street Gang were military-tech puppies.

Come on, I used a fucking old man revolver in the first place!

Why doesn't military technology support those who are brain-dead? Is it that they don't want it? It was Lao Tzu who made the name, and military technology came to the door! ”

After the sergeant finished speaking, he recalled the days when he started home.

At that time, the original Six Street Gang wore armor sewn from leather and broken guns that could go into the garbage dump.

Scenic Area, Santo Domingo. There are murders, robberies, and thefts every day, and the only way for ordinary people to live longer is to hide at home and do nothing.

Then they can starve to death.

"How did you get kicked out?" V asked curiously.

The sergeant laughed self-deprecatingly: "It's simple, there's no money - if the streets are not chaotic, everyone will have to come out and earn money."

Valentino is richer than us, Lu Ziye, there are more people than us, they open casinos, sell top-notch drugs, and the money is also cool.

When they have money, they will supply some slips to the NCPD, and the NCPD will cooperate with them to clean it up.

At that time, the Six Street Gang, I didn't have much support from a big company at that time.

It was also from that time that I learned that I had to make money, make a lot of money - no money, no armed, no armed.

Hehe, do you see the slogan? The American dream, the American dream is supported by money. ”

"And then. You're doing business with military technology? ”

The sergeant nodded calmly: "Yes, no one cares about the security of these places, I will take care of it myself, but this requires money and equipment, and it is impossible for people to defend their lives with a pair of meat fists."

Because robbers and murderers, they all have guns in their hands.

The American Dream gives me goods, makes me money, allows me to do whatever I want, and I believe in the American Dream. ”

There was silence in the room for a while, and V picked up the beer on the table and opened a can: "That's a good thing, reselling high-priced vaccines is also part of the plan?" ”

"Yes." The sergeant also opened a can of beer, "I'm not going to give you any big reason, but here's the thing: I need the money so much."

People here need vaccines, I'm going to look for vaccines, and as for the price. That's not something I can control, and I didn't make it.

I can't keep myself when I'm poor, so what do I have to do to give myself."

The sergeant smiled and looked at Jack, who didn't know what he was thinking: "Big man, you look like a Valentino, if you were a gang, you might be their big brother by now."

But you're not a gangster, really, I can see - let's get down to business, two."

"Actually, it's three." V pointed to his head, "There's another one too." ”

"Okay, three."

"Oh, by the way, we've called a good bunch of mercenaries, you'll have to pay them for the normal price."

The sergeant angrily withdrew his hand to toast: "Do you still have it?" How many are there? ”

"Three." V shook his head, "They're already drinking outside." ”

The sergeant was already swearing in his heart: Who are you doing to interrupt the atmosphere of others? Who?!

Calm your mind and organize your language.

"Okay. That's still three, it's up to you this time, you're the most professional and awesome in Night City.

The Sixth Street Gang, and my little life, especially my little life, is up to you. ”

Jack opened a bottle of beer too, and when he lifted the can, he was still thinking.

V poked him, and he also received a message from Lille.

[Lille: A confident smile helps increase the employer's trust in the mercenary, and the employer doesn't want to hire a young man with a head full of problems.] 】

So Jack let go of those thoughts and smiled professionally.

"Hehe, do you still need to say this? Professional mercenary, mission must be achieved. ”
