Chapter 282 Reaching cooperation, Li You’s new vehicle

Outside the Afterlife Bar, in the corner of the parking lot.

V folded his arms, looked at Li You, and said, "Hunter? Sir? Is this your name?"

Li You smiled: "That's the code name others gave me recently."

"Were those people just now your subordinates?"

"My new fan."

V nodded: "That's right. You don't like that kind of rookie who can't see the difference in strength and has no physique."

She then looked at Li You again and said, "You dare to ask me to talk alone. It seems that you are confident?"

Li You's smile continued: "How do I remember that the last time we met, I wasn't the one who suffered?"

V was not angry: "I caught you by surprise last time."

But Li You shook his head again and said, "I can't accept your conditions, but."

Seeing that V's evil spirit was getting stronger and stronger, he changed the topic and said, "I have another proposal."

And if nothing else, it's very strange that he actually knows his real name. From these points, what he said is indeed credible.

"I don't think so." Li You said, "I have known you before, Ms. Valerie, and I also know that you are an excellent agent of the Counterintelligence Department. If I were not sincere, you would have been 'reset to zero' last time Instead of letting you, the witness who saw my face, live to this day."

Li You's expression remained calm.

"Let me tell you this, no matter what you rely on, it is meaningless in the face of Arasaka's footsteps. Once the Counterintelligence Department decides to capture you, resistance will be in vain, even if you can obtain immunity from other companies, We can also take care of you before you escape."

At that time, I will settle the previous conflicts with him.

But she didn't expect that this secret investigation would lead to frequent accidents. First, Li You took the initiative to appear in front of her, disrupting her plan, and then he was indifferent to Arasaka's threats, resulting in V not being able to take the initiative in the conversation at all.

The corner of V's mouth twitched slightly, but he continued: "...However, I admire you very much. Among the mercenaries who gather everywhere, you are also the most outstanding one. So I can give you a chance."

V nodded: "The response is very fast, that's what it is. I won't talk to you about useless things. If I want, I can use the power of the Counterintelligence Department to make you completely disappear from Night City."

Seeing V's hesitation, Li You took out another chip.

Looking at it now, it is probably impossible to achieve the best result. V's mind changed quickly, he had considered it, and decided to settle for the next best thing, so he said instead:

Li You looked at V with a smile.

V was a little hesitant now. What she originally thought was that when she found the person and revealed her identity and stakes, she wouldn't have to worry about being able to control this guy.

All these factors have cast a veil of mystery on Li You's identity, forcing V to consider the possibility that he is indeed emboldened.

"That's understandable."

Li You smiled: "What do you think? I will reveal to you the key information you need most this time, and you will stop investigating. In the future, if you need mercenaries for any job, you can come to me, and if I have anything Regarding matters involving the company, I will inform you in advance."

But if he is not so afraid of Arasaka's reckoning, even if it sounds unbelievable, V will have to make new plans.

"...Say it." V thought for a moment and decided to listen.

Li You didn't refute, and said, "In that case, a big shot like you comes to see me in person incognito, so he must have something more important to explain?"

"This is what the client gave us in the last commission. With this, I think you can deliver."

"you guess?"

V has already seen the combat effectiveness of Li You's sword in slashing mechas. Although it was a relatively old-style exoskeleton mecha rather than an Arasaka mecha that was in serious service, this combat effectiveness was enough to shock and value her. And from what she saw, Li You didn't even have any decent prosthetic body.

"Look at this." He showed the separation chip in his hand.

Her earliest plan was actually to find Li You and use coercion and inducement. While making him reveal the information, it would be best if she could also force him to go back and work for her.

"If you reveal the details of the commission you executed in Jintingmu Building and your accomplices, I can let you go."

Li You said: "Well, but I also know that with my current 'criminal deeds', it is actually not enough to attract too much attention from Arasaka, unless...you want to do this, right?"

Li You flatly refused: "This is impossible."

V frowned and looked at him. Although he didn't want to admit it, it was indeed illogical for Li You to let him go before. She wouldn't think without thinking that the guy in front of her was fascinated by her pretty face, so she stopped.

V's original idea was that he would suddenly appear when the little thief was most relaxed, give him an unexpected shock, and then reveal his identity, so that he would willingly reveal information and seek asylum.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

She stood in front of Li You. With her tall figure, V could not lose too much momentum even if she looked at Li You.

V looked at Li You's friendly smile, thought for a while, and then said: "Although you said so, I don't trust you. There is no basis for cooperation between you and me."

V was also stunned after hearing this, and asked: "You mean, you want to cooperate with me for a long time?"

But Li You is really mysterious, and the benefits of working with him are unclear.

"The day before yesterday, you and other mercenaries illegally invaded the company's residence and committed criminal acts, causing considerable damage to the company's property."

"You know just by doing this, I can put you on Arasaka's wanted list."

Of course, he didn't just bring this thing out just to win over V, nor was he selling out his teammates.

"This is…?"

V narrowed his eyes: "Then you want to have sex with Arasaka head-on?"

V looked at him again and said: "You don't look scared, which means you are either a fool who doesn't know the heights of the world, or you have something to rely on."

This chip was not the original one given by the customer. It was cracked and copied by Sasha and others just in case. The original chip had been destroyed by Faraday himself.

Yesterday, Li You contacted Mann and others and told them that Arasaka's people were investigating the incident at the Kintingiki Building.

After the discussion, one of the solutions that everyone came up with was to find a way to hand over the chip loaded with the virus program to the people in Arasaka to draw their attention away from everyone.

As for whether this will lead to customer dissatisfaction? The customer can't prove that they handed over the chip. Moreover, even if there is any objection, it is a problem for the middleman, Mr. Faraday, to solve.

V looked at the chip in Li You's hand. After weighing it repeatedly, he finally decided to resolve the trouble quickly and smoothly, and the thought of taking a peaceful vacation prevailed: "Deal!" Li You smiled: "Great. Take it. Go! The relevant records are also on it."

He threw the chip to V. V took it, read the content on the spot, and immediately understood: "So that's what happened."

She then looked at Li You: "You just gave me the things like this, and you are not afraid that I will turn against you and deny you?"

Li You raised the corner of his mouth: "Of course I have considered this. If you really do this, then the same chip will be sent to Ms. Abernathy's home. I think, you and your boss Mr. Jenkins , maybe you don’t want her to receive such a small gift, right?”

"And besides that, I have also prepared other means. If you really plan to break the contract, you can look forward to it when the time comes."

V: “…!?”

She finally couldn't help but said: "What on earth are you..."

Li You only showed a bright smile: "Happy cooperation!"

"...Huh, let's do that." Although V was still full of questions, he didn't ask any more questions at this time, and immediately planned to leave.

"Oh, by the way." Li You said at this time, "As a celebration, do you want to go to the next life for a drink? My treat. I remember that you only drink tequila from the God of Wine?"

Hearing this, the corners of V's eyes twitched slightly, and finally he said "No!" and turned to leave.

V's figure gradually moved away and disappeared around the corner. Li You was looking at her with interest when a ringing sound came from his arms.

“Didi dididi——”

He answered the phone: "Hello?"

"Hey, you're Li You, right?" On the phone, a middle-aged man with long hair and bangs greeted Li You.

"I'm Miami Reyes, they all call me the old captain. The car Dakota ordered from me is ready for you. Just come and pick it up when you have time."

Li You was very polite: "I know, thank you."

"Hey, it's all business. If you want to buy other cars, don't forget to check with a good car middleman! That's it!"

He immediately hung up the communication.

The old captain is a middleman in the Santo Domingo area. He also runs the largest second-hand car buying and selling website in Night City.

Yesterday, Dakota sent a message, saying that Li You's previous Colby Lone Peak was too damaged and was not worth repairing, and suggested that he replace it with a new one.

Li You looked at his newly received more than 300,000 euros and felt that it was acceptable, so under Dakota's introduction, he ordered a new car from the old captain.

Li You looked at the time, and there was really nothing else to do now, so he could just go.

He returned to the Afterlife Bar and told everyone that the investigation on Arasaka had been basically completed, and then took Aggie with him to pick up the car. Because there is no suitable vehicle now and it is inconvenient to travel, Yuzi stayed in the hotel. He only brought Ai Ji with him today.

However, under Mann's warm invitation, Li You and Edge finally took Falco's car and headed to Santo Domingo. In the car, Sasha was also sitting, and she said she wanted to follow Li You to see what Li You's new car looked like.

The address given by the old captain was not the dam where he always looked at the scenery in the game, but the garage where we met after stealing a car for the first time in the new car theft mission in the Shadow of the Past DLC.

Falco drove here, and the old captain's people were already waiting here. After confirming Li You's identity, he nodded: "Follow me."

The garage door opened in front of everyone, and a rough-looking Tingwei Merrimac was quietly dormant inside.

The thick light brown extended body, extra thickness of the car shell, six off-road tires with two front and four rear all-wheel drive, unique mud fender eyebrows, and it is obviously not smaller than Colby Lone Peak, but when placed in the overall body, it is The seemingly compact pickup truck bucket makes this car look like a giant beast lying on the ground.

Merrimack "Magician" is the vehicle Li You purchased this time.

In the game, this car is a new addition to the DLC and is a purchasable vehicle that can only be unlocked after completing the old captain’s car-stealing mission.

But thanks to Dakota's introduction, Li You not only ordered the car directly from the old captain, but even further commissioned it to be modified.

The glass windows are replaced with bulletproof steel plates, and materials are also added to the car shell to make it resistant to bullets. Correspondingly, crystal ball systems and bulletproof tires are also must-haves.

Finally, machine guns were installed on both sides of the front of the car, turning the Merrimack completely into an armed vehicle, the kind that would be restricted from being used on the road at all.

By the way, Li You felt that the NUSA flag on the front of the car was too ugly, so he had someone paint it over, and it finally became pleasing to his eyes.

“Didi dididi——”

The old captain called: "How about Li You! Isn't this baby good? If it hadn't been for Dakota's introduction, I wouldn't have sold it to you easily!"

Li Youzheng was stroking Merrimack's bulletproof car window, feeling its strength, and replied: "It's really good."

"Hehe, of course! The transformation was all done according to your requirements. Now, she is a monster!"

The quality of the old captain's modifications is truly unparalleled. Even if Li You didn't mention it, he very considerately reserved space for further modifications in the car. If necessary in the future, he can install a remote-controlled machine gun tower like Panan in the game. Even missile slots are available.

Of course, Li You also spent a lot of money on this order. The price of the Merrimack Magician was originally only 43000 euros. After this change, the total price more than doubled, reaching 91000 euros.

But overall, it's worth it. Especially since this Merrimack is already very powerful, even if it is loaded with grapefruit, the speed will not be slowed down much.

As for better cars, they are not unaffordable, but they are not outstanding in terms of cost performance. Considering the convenience of Yuzi, Li You finally chose this car.

"This baby will be yours from now on, remember to treat her well." The old captain finally said, "Now, get in the car and give her a try!"

Li You was not polite, opened the door and got into the driver's seat. After a brief exploration, he smiled at Aggie and Sasha and said, "Come up and try?"

Sasha couldn't wait any longer and immediately climbed into the back seat, while Aggie sat in the passenger seat.

"Wow--!"

Not only does the Merrimack have four seats, but the interior space is spacious enough and looks much more comfortable than the Colby Lone Peak.

After getting on the car, the crystal ball system also automatically starts, projecting the scene outside the car window onto the inside of the armor plate that is not light-transmitting, so that passengers in the car can clearly see the outside.

"Sit down, let's go!"

Li You stepped on the accelerator, drove out of the garage, and drove away.

Behind him, Falco looked at the rear of Merrimack's car as it drove away, and then at his old car parked aside. He could only shake his head and sigh.
