Please call me Cyber ​​Demon King

Rebecca's eyes were fixed on Ke Ling. She had noticed this strange guy as soon as Sasha and the others entered the Lai Sheng Bar.

"Thank you, little one. It's so cool that you can come in and give birth at such a young age."

Ke Ling wore a smile, without a hint of malice, and spoke with utmost sincerity.

But sometimes, sincerity is the ultimate weapon. When Rebecca heard this, the "#" on her forehead almost exploded.

"Puch~"

Sasha couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Dorio and Mann also burst into laughter, amused by the conversation between the two.

Jack Wells and V were somewhat confused. They exchanged a glance and didn't find Ke Ling's words funny at all.

"You're the little kid! I'm already nineteen! I'll be twenty after the New Year!"

The laughter of her companions was clearly the last straw that broke the camel's back, and Rebecca could no longer bear it and began to explain.

"Forehead"

Ke Ling was taken aback, though his surprise was feigned; Jack Wells and V, on the other hand, were genuinely stunned.

"I'm sorry, Rebecca."

Ke Ling took the initiative to apologize; this move can be called knowingly committing a wrong.

"Never mind, I'm used to it."

Rebecca waved her hand and muttered something under her breath. It wasn't the first time she'd encountered something like this; people meeting for the first time often have this kind of question.

There's no way to deny it; no matter how you look at it, Rebecca is undeniably very young. At first glance, she looks like a real elementary school student.

But who would have thought that she was actually a legally recognized loli? Loli lovers are overjoyed.

Of course, this little girl doesn't have any of the three good qualities. Rebecca is neither delicate nor weak, and she's not easy to push over unless you're Adam Hammer.

"You're going to be famous for causing a ruckus at a biotech company and blowing up their building."

Looking at the two men and one woman in front of him, Mann was somewhat impressed; this was truly a remarkable achievement.

Once the news spread, these three people immediately became well-known figures in the underworld.

Of course, such things wouldn't be spread so openly, otherwise, where would the biotechnology company's reputation be?

But at least the people in the middle will know something, and that's enough.

The mercenary circle in Night City is so large that they have hardly ever contacted the middlemen in some districts, and they rarely go to other districts.

However, this circle is also very small. People in the same industry will definitely know each other. Everyone knows who has a famous and capable subordinate.

Mercenaries are creatures who work for whoever pays them. Even if they become famous because of a middleman's job, it doesn't mean they can't take jobs from other middlemen.

If someone in a family becomes capable, people in the neighborhood will usually make a note of it in their little notebooks, and they will naturally contact them when they need to use it.

V is in this situation. After pulling off the heist at the Azure Tower, it's as if everyone in Night City has V's phone number. Oh, no, Arasaka Yorinobu doesn't.

"If there's an opportunity in the future, we can cooperate."

Ke Ling smiled and nodded. There's strength in numbers. If it's a commission that requires murder, arson, or a fierce battle with a gang, it's safer to call more people.

"Of course you can, but I heard from Sasha that there are no hackers in your team?"

Mann readily agreed, and then he casually asked a question, which Ke Ling immediately understood was about to begin.

"Yes, we don't have any hackers, we're looking for some. I also asked Sasha if we could ask her to help if there are any missions that require hackers in the future."

Ke Ling answered directly that he chose to speak frankly and there was no need to hide anything.

"Forehead"

Sasha was a little embarrassed. She had actually agreed to Ke Ling's request, since Ke Ling had saved her life. If she was alright, she would certainly be willing to help Ke Ling.

"Won't the Mann brothers have any objections?"

Jack Wells laughed and picked up where Ke Ling left off, his words even more direct.

"Of course not, it's Sasha's freedom."

Mann shook his head. Even if he had an opinion, he wouldn't say it directly, as that would put Sasha in a difficult position.

"That's good, that's good. If the Mann brothers have any objections, we won't bother Sasha anymore. Let's not let us ruin your relationship."

Jack Wells blinked, looking quite relieved.

His words made Ke Ling exclaim in his heart, "Damn it! You, Jack Wells, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, how come you speak in such a sleazy and pretentious way?"

"No, I just think that having a dedicated hacker in the team is actually quite important, as it can make the teamwork more seamless."

Mann frowned, clearly realizing that Jack Wells was quite shrewd and not as carefree and silly as he appeared.

“I actually know quite a few hackers. I can introduce one to you. Sasha, after all, has to work with us, so he might not be available every time you need a hacker.”

In the end, Mann finally revealed his true intentions.

You need a hacker? Then I'll find you one. Stop using the excuse of saving my life to dig up my house.

Please read my new book! It's really important! Thank you so much, dear readers!!

Chapter 46 Harvest

"Of course, but you have to be good at it."

Ke Ling and the others naturally had no reason to refuse Mann's proposal.

They've already been so direct and seem very eager to help; if they refuse, it would seem like they're deliberately looking for trouble.

"Don't worry, her skills are definitely up to par. We've worked with her many times."

Mann spoke with great certainty, clearly confident in the hacker's abilities.

"Sister Qiwei is very capable. She is a veteran hacker with rich experience."

Sasha nodded in agreement, providing professional confirmation of Mann's words.

"Qiwei?"

Ke Ling was stunned for a moment; at first, he thought it was Lucy.

But then she thought about it again. At this time, none of the members of Mann's team knew Lucy. Only Qiwei and Lucy were familiar with each other.

Qiwei's relationship with Mann's team is more like a partnership; she only works with them when it comes to big tasks.

Normally, Mann's team relies on their own hackers when they go on missions. Now it's Sasha, and after Sasha's death, it's Lucy, who was introduced by Qiwei.

Of course, since Sasha is still alive, Qiwei doesn't need to introduce new hackers to them anymore.

However, Ke Ling and his team, who currently lack a hacker, are very likely to receive the new hacker Lucy introduced by Qi Wei.

"This problem is finally solved. The Mann brothers have really a wide network of connections. Come on, let me toast you."

Once the matter was settled, Jack Wells immediately picked up his glass and started drinking with Mann and Dorio.

As for Rebecca, she was drinking juice. The Rebirth Bar operates legally and abides by Night City's laws, which prohibit drinking alcohol for those under 21.

"Don't you drink?"

Seeing everyone else raising their glasses in celebration, while Ke Ling just sat there doing nothing, Rebecca asked curiously.

"Yes, I don't smoke or drink."

Ke Ling smiled and nodded, then added:

"This is good for your health."

""

Rebecca looked at him strangely, clearly puzzled by his answer.

"What would you like to drink? Juice? Milk? Or water? Let me order you one?"

Rebecca held up her juice, took a sip, and then asked Ke Ling.

"No need. I am someone who can only drink human blood and eat human flesh. Your mundane human food is meaningless to me."

Ke Ling looked serious, but what he said made Rebecca's lips twitch. She thought to herself, "Is this guy probably a little bit sick?"

"Puch~"

"Ke Ling, stop teasing Rebecca, she'll take it seriously."

Sasha, who was listening nearby, was amused by their conversation and said with a laugh.

"Sasha! Do you think I'm stupid?!"

Rebecca rolled her eyes. How could she possibly believe such a thing?!

"I'm sorry, but my body is quite special. I can only consume specific nutrient solutions. I really can't eat or drink normal food and beverages."

Ke Ling shrugged, like a little bear, and explained helplessly.

There was nothing he could do; no one believed him if he told the truth, so he had to make up some more personas for himself.

This is really starting to resemble an experimental monster that escaped from a large company's laboratory.

"Forehead"

Rebecca and Sasha exchanged a glance, both seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes; this was indeed the first time they had encountered something like this.

"Sorry, I don't know."

Rebecca apologized quietly, even though she hadn't actually done anything wrong, and Ke Ling hadn't mentioned it before.

"Ignorance is no excuse. You didn't blame me for not recognizing your age, did you?"

Ke Ling winked at Rebecca. Although this girl had a wild personality, she was clearly not the kind of person who was self-righteous or unreasonable.

"We're even."

Rebecca laughed and started joking again. She wasn't one to hide her feelings and liked to be direct.

Soon, the group chatted and laughed, and had become somewhat acquainted.

"It's almost time, we should go."

V glanced at the time, then at Ke Ling, and stood up, suggesting that the event end.
