Cyberpunk: I didn't cheat.

Chapter 109 Taking Off the Pharmaceutical Factory's Clothes

The biotechnology humanitarian lab was destroyed, all the researchers were killed, and all the data was destroyed.

This loss infuriated the biotech company, whose experiment was not only costly but also crucial to its transformation into a true hybrid.

Biotechnology went to great lengths to gather information about the attackers.

At this point, a mysterious informant told the biotechnology team that their chips might be in the hands of a Night City mercenary.

Meanwhile, the informant claimed to have access to the stolen chip data and was willing to make the deal if the price was right.

On one hand, the biotechnology company sent people to spend huge sums of money to buy the data, and on the other hand, it hired people to check whether the chip was really in the hands of a mercenary.

Then came the mercenary raid.

Vito asked Jack to help protect Gloria and Liying at the clinic, while he took Cha to the car to find the middleman who distributed the orders.

He had another prosthetic cell implanted into his brain. Some people are addicted to alcohol, some are addicted to sparkling things, and perhaps Vito is now also addicted to prosthetic cells.

"Little Cha, when we go in, we'll beat up everyone we see!"

"good!"

The two arrived at a pharmacy that provided health insurance for human bodies; this was the property of a middleman who contacted the mercenaries, and he had gathered a group of people here to provide expensive prosthetic rejection inhibitors and painkillers to patients at the bottom of society.

He had collaborated with biotechnology companies for many years, and even his ability to act as an intermediary was supported by biotechnology. The endless corporate espionage war led biotechnology to focus its efforts on this continent, eventually choosing Night City.

When Vito and Cha went in, the shop assistant was introducing the products to the two young people.

"Prosthetic rejection? That's because the inhibitor you're using is too bad! Try this, the latest biotechnology product. Let me tell you, other pharmaceutical companies have tried every possible way to crack the formula of this inhibitor but failed. In the end, they had no choice but to secretly buy it and mix it into their own products."

"If you buy our painkillers, you can have your entire body below the neck replaced with a prosthetic and nothing will happen!"

A young man, not quite believing the guy in front of him, questioned him.

"Didn't the news say it all? Your painkillers are completely useless; it's all made up!"

"Making it up?"

The shop assistant's eyes widened as if he had heard the most unbelievable thing in the world.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If this is made up, biotechnology companies would have gone bankrupt long ago. You young man clearly doesn't understand what a brutal business war is!"

This is all dirty water being smeared by companies that can't stand seeing biotechnology succeed. The news even said it was leaked by a hacker—where is that hacker now? Who knows, this information might just be a pile of shit they've been stirring up in their offices!

The two young men were somewhat hesitant. Their budget was limited, and the installation of prosthetic bodies was their key to joining the gang. They couldn't afford any mistakes, as those gangs wouldn't accept people who drooled and whose prosthetic bodies were malfunctioning.

The shop assistant seized the opportunity to continue persuading them.

"You two are going to do something big, right? Listen to me, buy the best inhibitors and painkillers, then get a pair of strong arms, and that's the beginning of your legendary journey!"

I've been in this business for so many years, and many famous figures in the underworld have bought their stuff from us. I think you guys look pretty good, so I'll secretly add a can of shimmer to your bags later. This stuff is the hottest right now, and all the big shots love it!

Write your names on this paper, and consider it my advance request for the two legends to sign them for me!

Finally, the two young men were persuaded by the shop assistant. They had already spent most of their savings of many years on a set of semi-second-hand prosthetic bodies, and used the rest to buy inferior inhibitors and painkillers with severe side effects.

They left the pharmacy filled with hope for a bright future, then each tried a small puff of glitter. They knew it was good stuff and had to use it sparingly—before joining the gang, they couldn't even afford a house.

After seeing the two young men off, the shop assistant gave a disdainful laugh.

"Two more idiots shouting about legendary lives in the afterlife!"

After finishing speaking, the shop assistant hummed a little tune and returned to the counter, crumpling up the signature on the counter and throwing it at his feet. There were already several identical balls of paper there.

squeak~

The shop door was slid open.

Vito and Cha went into the pharmacy.

The shop assistant greeted me with a smile.

"Hello, you two! Are you here to buy inhibitors? Or—"

Before the clerk could finish speaking, Xiao Cha pulled the clerk off the counter and threw him to the ground.

Vito held the shop assistant's head to the ground with euros.

"Tell me, where is Sig?"

"Someone's causing trouble!"

The shop assistant screamed loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the warehouse opened, and seven or eight people rushed out, pointing their guns at Vito and Cha.

This pharmacy receives numerous disturbances every day, including family members of patients who have died from overdosing on painkillers, and prosthetic implant recipients who are nearly driven mad by the torment of their prosthetic bodies.

These guys are experts at handling this kind of situation!

"Oh? It's a rip-off place?"

The shop assistant was very firm; he gently pushed aside Vito's gun barrel.

"Good to know! Damn, you're pretty strong! Hand over the money now, and if the amount satisfies me, I might consider letting you off the hook!"

"Little Cha, keep an eye on this bastard."

Vito turned his gun on the bodyguards watching the shop and fired the euros in his hand. The bodyguards also opened fire, and the pharmacy was filled with gunfire and ricochets.

The shop assistant covered his head and pressed his body tightly against the floor, afraid of being accidentally injured.

One by one, the bodyguards were shot and killed, and they were horrified to find that the guns in their hands were not even enough to tickle Vito.

"You want euros? I'll give them to you!"

As the last bodyguard's head exploded, the only sound in the room was the screams of the shop assistants.

"Don't kill me! No! I was forced! I know where Sig is, I'll tell you right now!"

There was liquid seeping from beneath the shop assistant, and Xiao Cha took a step back in disgust.

"Speak, you have one minute."

"Sig has gone to the afterlife! He has a business deal to discuss with a middleman today, so he won't be here! He brought a driver and a bodyguard with him!"

""

The shop assistant trembled like a leaf, selling the shop owner everything in a flurry.

"Your shabby shop has quite a few staff members. Tell me, what good stuff are you hiding?"

"7

The clerk hesitated for a second, then vomited everything up.

"There's a glitter workshop in the back, set up by Sieg. He has people make the glitter in the back and then put it on the shelves to sell!"

Vito marveled.

"You guys are far more unscrupulous than I imagined. I thought selling fake medicine was already despicable enough, but I didn't expect you to go even further. You're truly a constellation of stars."

The shop assistant kept begging for mercy.

"It has nothing to do with me! I'm just an employee; I have to work for them to make a living!"

Vito put the euro away.

"Let's go, Cha, we still need to check in at the afterlife. I'll treat you to a Jack Wells drink later."

After Vito and his companions left the pharmacy, the clerk got up from the ground and shook his pants.

"Damn it! This guy's a tough one! I need to tell Sieg to get ready."

A few "thump" sounds.

A whole bunch of hand grenades were thrown into the store.

The shop assistant opened his eyes in horror before being engulfed in the explosion.
