[Little Octopus: Big brother, the three universities in New York are all closed for a march today, and they are still contacting students and faculty members from other schools. 】

[Little Octopus: Roxon may find a way to convince some state governments to send in the National Guard to suppress riots.] 】

[Lille: We can provide free assistance to all peaceful people, so that they can rest assured. 】

[Little Octopus: Okay, by the way, big brother, the drawings of the power plant have been finalized, do you want to take another look? 】

[Lille: No need, help me watch the human experiments on Brick's side, we need to get the second generation prosthetic online as soon as possible.] 】

[Lille: Personnel expansion. 】

[Little Octopus: National Summary: 367 retired soldiers turned Borg warriors, 1,347 implant surgeries will be completed in the next seven days, and the increase in the next month is estimated to be 120%~160%;

There are 14,523 qualified workers, 35,535 are being trained, and 135264 implant surgery will be completed in the next seven days, with an estimated increase of 300%~340% in the next month. 】

[Little Octopus: Night City Summary: 441 OCT domain users; There are 1,333 interdimensional workers. 】

"Mano, hearing you say that, I feel that these little Japan are quite miserable."

Out of the door, the three of them chatted in the elevator.

Jack began to sigh: "The first time I fought was Little Japan. ”

"How did you get into a fight?" V asked with interest.

"That kid said that he bought a genuine Arasaka tablet, got us to show off, and looked down on the second-hand goods we bought from the stall.

What else to say. Anyway, he pretended to be forced, no one paid attention to him, and he forgot about us. ”

"That's not a complaint."

Jack shrugged: "But he bought it with a loan shark, and then the loan shark came to the door and took away one of his kidneys, and then disappeared, I don't know if he was kidnapped by a scavenger and cut off the rest of the kidney."

If he had been with us, maybe the scavengers wouldn't have been able to take a fancy to him. ”

"Ha, what about his loan shark?" V sneered, "Coincidentally, my first fight was with the Tiger Claw Gang, and it was with the Tiger Claw Gang.

At that time, I was hanging out on the streets, and there was a brain-dead who had spoken twice and invited me to drink, but fortunately I was clever, it turned out that I had borrowed money from the Tiger Claw Gang on an online loan, and planned to kidnap me as a sex puppet

If he hadn't had a gun at the time, I would have killed him - but I guess he called out to the Tigerclaw Gang who couldn't see me, and would have developed his asshole long ago. ”

V said and looked at the silent Lille: "Actually, Mox also looked for me, and said that I lost a lot of money if I didn't do this business." ”

But Lille was thinking about something else.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Syllable!

V slapped Lille on the head: "Why are you stuck again!" ”

Lille rubbed his head and said helplessly, "I didn't have such a wonderful childhood as yours. ”

V looked out of the dot casually: "Then what do you think of my face?" ”

"It's good, it's true that it's a big loss to quit this line - I'm talking about mercenaries."

V's eyes widened: "Wait a while, do you still look at your face as a mercenary?!" ”

"Still watching." Lille replied slowly as he processed the data, somewhat thoughtlessly.

He was thinking that V was in Atlanta, and if it weren't for this face, he really couldn't think of a move all of a sudden.

It's just that the brain is a little overloaded, and I don't understand what it means.

In addition to reviewing some data, Lille is still thinking about a question:

He can now continue to track down the Brain Demon Gang, but he has been hanging by Muramasa, and he doesn't even know the Year of the Monkey when he is caught.

Didi –

An NCPD pickup truck drove through the street, and the centaur mech in the cargo compartment went into hibernation, and through the gap in the mecha parts, the operator on it could be seen to be very tired.

The current Night City is far more chaotic than the Night City of the past.

The three stood at the door of the skyscraper, watching the police cars hurrying to the next place, and at the panicked and muttering residents on the streets

Jack suddenly asked a question: "Mano, did you say that we did these things badly?" ”

Lille glanced at Jack: "What?" Doubting yourself? ”

Jack thought for a moment and continued, "We've blown up almost every gang, and I think they've gone too far, it's just, why is there more chaos on the streets? ”

Every gang was blown up, and serious problems arose in the area.

The Sixth Street Gang was blown up, and the locals couldn't do business for the sake of the civil war;

The Tiger Claw Gang was blown up, all kinds of ghosts, snakes and gods appeared in Westbrook, gunfights continued on the streets, people did not dare to go out at night, the shops had no business, and all industries withered.

The Vortex Gang has been blown up, and there is a huge gap in the technology trading throughout Night City.

Lille smiled and asked, "Valentino, we didn't blow them up, didn't they also have a ghost because they wanted to get on top?" ”

"That's right."

"If we hadn't intervened, yes, they really wouldn't have weakened, and the streets wouldn't have been so messy.

The Six Street Gang continues to help biotech distribute vaccines, and if he makes this money, people won't find out about the problems in the river, and many people will still die for no apparent reason.

The Tiger Claw Gang will continue to engage in dirty business with the Deputy Mayor, and Shoho Jotaro will continue to kidnap innocent passers-by.

Royce of the Vortex Gang will be in power, and they will directly arrest people from the street to modify prosthetics and help people shoot Mewtwo

Valentino, a person who is completely out of line with your gang's values will take power, and slowly, it will become something you don't know - a lackey in the deputy mayor's office, and it will be a matter of time before he becomes another Tiger Claw Gang.

We don't beat them up, they get beaten by another thing, you know what? ”

Jack shook his head, and V waited curiously for Lille to reveal the answer.

"It's profit, it's money, and the root of all these problems is that they are gradually abandoning the idea of the gang and pursuing more money infinitely.

As they expanded, they began to discover how important it was to maintain an organic group in society, with profits.

Profit breaks the ties that bind these gangs: kinship, friendship, dreams, honor, ethnicity, community.

In the end, they are linked together only by profits, substantially attached to the most profitable collectives in the world.

These guys who are emerging now are only because someone is sponsoring them, and their operating profits are short-term higher than these weakened gangs.

But with us involved, everything is different. ”

"They've gone sour." V concluded.

Lille looked at V in surprise: "That's pretty much what it means, and the summary is quite accurate." ”

Jack scratched his head: "When you say that, we seem to have become a stumbling block that always stands in their way to making money." ”

"That's true." Lille shrugged, "Our relationship is not meant to be sustained by money alone, so sooner or later, like these hapless gang bosses, we will be pushed into a corner by this group of guys chasing higher profits."

Then it is either crushed or assimilated. ”

"It sounds scary, it feels like you're the enemy of the world."

"It's scary, but it's these gangs that put the cart before the horse, and those who chase profits can only become puppets of profits.

Remember? When they were founded, they couldn't make any money at all, and no one was born to have everything.

They are more like they choose to become puppets after struggling for a while. ”

"Tsk." V pouted, "I'm going to object to this, it's not like there are people who are born rich." ”

Lille smiled: "That's right, but, the rich people you want to have, the rich people you want to play, the rich people you want to do."

So you don't do anything? You're lying on the ground? Do you really want to do these things, or do you want to be rich?

If it were me, I would like to do these things, and it doesn't matter if I have done it with rich people.

Rather, they have to pray that their assets are not in my way, or they may not end well. ”

"Huh." V smiled too, "Sounds like a robber, but I like it." ”

The NCPD convoy in front passed, the red light turned green, and the two walked down the stairs to cross the road.

Jack chewed on Lille's words and stayed where he was and looked at the green light for a long time.

It wasn't until V and Lille turned their heads to look at him that he reacted, trotted over, and put his arms around Lille:

"Hehe, Mano, I said you did great things, and it's not bad that you just said that!

I'm going to put it in a manual and it's like: 'When I'm doing things, other people better pray not to get in the way',

What do you think?"

[Little Octopus: Big brother, I think what you said makes a lot of sense, so what is our goal? What exactly are these things for? 】

【Little Octopus: (._.) Be humble and ask for advice. 】

[Lille: But those at the top of the food chain who really make a lot of money are guided not by pure profit, but by grand goals that surpass other groups and individuals, and by superior execution ability. 】

[Lille: The fool chases profit, and the strong decide profit. 】

[Lille: Mobilize the mind, prepare for battle. 】
