From ship girl to machine god

And Rogge had a strong hunch that Blue Bird would not keep her waiting for too long.

After talking about this, Qingniao, who had already downed half a bottle of whiskey, suddenly wiped his mouth and asked Rogge: "Are you going to deduct my payment for this business? Although it is indeed quite a big fuss, but No one except the client should know that I did it.”

"Don't worry about this. Although there is a big fuss, but as you said, no one cares about the life and death of those scavengers. If the scene is not too big, it will not attract so much attention." Of course Rogge saw it. What was Qingniao worried about? But with her character, she wouldn't deduct Qingniao's payment for this kind of thing.

Although according to the rules, Rogge can indeed deduct part of the remuneration for someone like Jade Bird who caused too much trouble and caused a lot of losses, but usually a qualified middleman will not do this easily.

The reason is simple. Only by feeding these mercenaries can they work hard for you.

Moreover, the middleman assigns work, mercenaries do the work, and if something goes wrong during the completion of the task, the middleman is responsible for picking people up and rectifying the aftermath. These are all established rules on the road.

For example, in the original game, the fat black man Dexter wanted to kill someone and run away after smashing the deal. This is definitely a shame for middlemen and also breaks the rules of the road.

However, what happened to V and Jack was indeed too big. The death of Saburo Arasaka was not something that a guy like Dexter, who was kicked out of Night City, could cover up.

That is to say, Jack, a former street gangster who only wants to get ahead but has limited experience, regards Fat Man as a person and considers him to be the top middleman in Night City.

Of course, based on Dexter's identity and status before he was kicked out of Night City, he was ranked among the middlemen in Night City, but he was not a particularly top figure.

As for a top middleman like Rogge, no matter whether the job is completed or not, she will keep her fingers in check, instead of thinking about killing people and escaping.

This is also the key reason why Rogge has been able to stand firm in Night City for more than fifty years.

Chapter 27 Good News

According to subsequent statistics, Bluebird destroyed one building in total, causing structural damage to two apartment buildings. One unfinished building became damaged by the Syrian war, with a total loss of approximately 120 million euros.

Yes, even if Bluebird demolishes a building in Night City, the damage will only be so much.

And the bulk of it was mainly the repair expenses for the two apartment buildings that were still habitable. As for the severed building, they were directly demolished and rebuilt, but the expenses were not that high.

In addition, about 100 scavengers were annihilated by the Blue Bird. Because the Blue Bird used anti-explosive bombs, the bodies were blown into pieces, which is really hard to count.

As for the people who were rescued, there were only a dozen people, all of whom were members of the trauma team.

Because of this, after receiving the distress signal from their personal terminal, at least four or five floating vehicles from the trauma team arrived. The scene was truly spectacular.

But it's also full of cold irony.

It was supposed to be a profession of saving lives and healing the wounded, but it has become a life insurance that only the rich can enjoy.

Jade Bird would not comment on this, and could only say that this is an American characteristic. Whether before or after time travel, American medical care has always been to save the dying but not the poor.

No money?Even those who can be saved with a single injection will be left alone.

If you have money, even if you have a scratch, we can open a luxurious single room for you and have a professional blonde female nurse to accompany you 24 hours a day.

The poor people in Night City don't care about their own lives. She is just a ship girl, so why should she care about the lives of others?

Anyway, the natural population growth rate of Night City has always been negative, but the streets of Night City will never lack of silly boys who are passionate and want to get ahead.

------------

In the next few days, Jade Bird basically had nothing to do. While waiting for Rogge to deliver the promised reward, Jade Bird also asked Mann to find a way to get the medical cabin to her.

"I didn't expect this thing to be so heavy. What is it made of?" As the technical backbone of the team, Pila was actually very interested in this medical cabin.

Although he likes tinkering with things like technological transformation, Pila will never touch this kind of high-end product once in his life.

In fact, for ordinary people in Night City, most people have never heard of such a thing, let alone used or seen it.

The medical supplies they use most in their lives are Fuerkang. This kind of good thing that can bring people back from the brink of death with a single injection is the medical-related stuff that ordinary people in Night City use the most.

As for other things... Prosthetic doctors of all sizes in Night City are the best medical protection for the poor.

Although Brother Finger is a bad person, he is right about one thing, that is, he can at least solve the problems for those people in Night City instead of watching them wait to die.

"It should be made of metal or something like that. According to the instructions, this thing can detect the injuries on your body and provide treatment plans based on the injuries. It can also automatically perform simple surgeries and treatments. It is the latest model of biotechnology. Medical cabin." Mann didn't understand this either, so he just picked up the instruction manual that came with the medical cabin, flipped through it briefly and handed it to Jade Bird.

However, Jade Bird didn't bother to look at it. He just checked it carefully and nodded with satisfaction after passing the core verification that this thing could be used to light up his own battlefield medical module.

"This thing is good, just what I need." Blue Bird patted the medical cabin and looked at Mann and others: "What have you been busy with these days?"

"I took them to pick up a few small jobs, sent by our former middleman." Mann reported to Jade Bird, and at the same time he did not forget to add: "In accordance with your request, boss, we have been keeping a low profile recently.

Biotechnology is indeed investigating the hijacking of the convoy, but it has not been traced to us.

In addition, the money from this business has not yet arrived, so everyone only has their past savings and no money to replace equipment and prosthetics. "

After listening to Mann's report, Qingniao didn't say anything. This was exactly what she requested to keep a low profile, so there was no problem.

The grumpy loli Rebecca on the side seemed to be dissatisfied with their previous middleman. She cursed something vaguely, and was immediately covered by her brother.

"When the money from Rogge arrives, you can go and upgrade your weapons, equipment and prosthetics to improve your combat effectiveness. This way I can arrange some exciting jobs for you in the future." Jade Bird asked Mann After explaining, he decided to go back and urge Rogge to pay quickly.

Although it takes time to ship the goods, Jade Bird doesn't believe that Rogge can't get the money on hand. She can eat the goods by herself and then slowly ship them out, without having to wait for the goods to be shipped out before paying.

After thinking about the arrival of the metal processing workstation that Rogge promised, he could unlock the engineering module and produce various things. Jade Bird added: "Or you can wait for a while. I ordered a metal processing workstation from Rogge. At the processing workstation, I can make things like prosthetics and firearms myself, and you can customize equipment and prosthetics from me."

"That's great! Boss, if you can customize weapons here, we can save a lot of money." Mann seemed very happy. Although this was something that Blue Bird had promised to them before, but now Blue Bird Mann felt overjoyed that he really planned to cash it out.

Mann was very discerning, and he clearly saw the Peregrine drone and the unfolded drone auxiliary module that Blue Bird placed in the work area of ​​the room.

The advanced level of these gadgets was beyond Mann's vision and knowledge, but he clearly knew that these things were very advanced.

Coupled with the Night Bird they had seen, Mann was certain that in addition to his extraordinary hacking skills, Blue Bird also had other advanced technologies in his hands.

Now, Jade Bird promised them that they can customize equipment and prosthetics for them, which is obviously much better in quality than the products they can buy on the market.

Just when Mann was about to say some polite words, the data pad placed aside by Bluebird suddenly rang.

Dorio, who was standing nearby, picked up the data pad, glanced at it and handed it to the blue bird: "Boss, this is Rogge's phone number."

Qingniao nodded, took the data pad and scratched it, then answered Rogge's call: "Rogge, what's the matter? Are you alive, or has the thing you wanted arrived?"

"Yes, bring your people here. There is a business client who wants to interview you." Rogge gave Jade Bird good news on the phone.

Chapter 28 SPCNC automated processing station

Because they lived not far away, Qingniao, Mann and others quickly arrived in the afterlife.

In Rogge's exclusive box in the bar, the customer who had been rescued by Blue Bird was sitting on the sofa and chatting with Rogge like a dog.

Although there was tape on his forehead and there were still bruises on his face, he still looked the part in a crisp custom-made suit.

However, compared to the business elites that Jade Bird had seen before traveling through time, the corporate dog in front of him looked much more hypocritical and arrogant, as if he was no longer the same species as you mortals, and he was too lazy to even do the most basic perfunctory things. .

Especially when Jade Bird took Mann to sit down, the guy's eyes looked at Jade Bird, which made him want to take out the Peregrine Falcon and stab him in the gut with the fission warhead of the air-to-air anti-ship missile.

Blue Bird was naturally too lazy to deal with this kind of person, but considering that he still needed to get the reward he wanted from him, Blue Bird could only resist the urge to kill this guy who looked at him with disgusting eyes.

But she still warned the guy: "If you look at me like that again, I will dig out your eyeballs and stomp on them like cannons."

"Wow, wow, wow, she's still a little pepper." The company dog ​​obviously didn't take the threat of the blue bird to heart. He smiled at the blue bird with a self-righteous smile and said, "I didn't expect that such a young girl would come out to be a fool. The mercenary has been beaten to death, are you interested in following me? I can make you a lot of money."

From the perspective of this corporate dog, speaking of his status, a mercenary like Qingniao who would do anything for money wouldn't immediately come to please him?

When the time comes, you can hold the blue bird in your hand and take whatever you want.

Although he is just a company dog ​​at the executive level of the company and is not strictly a big shot, within the company he can be regarded as someone who can determine life and death with a single word.

Therefore, in the eyes of this company dog, it is inevitable and should be that a mercenary like Qingniao fawns over him.

However, Qingniao just glanced at Rogge and asked her: "You called me here, are you just using this kind of stuff to disgust me? Or do you think this guy is hopeless after being rescued and needs me?" To destroy his humanity?

Don't worry, I can give you a cheaper price for this order, ensuring that he dies cleanly and disappears without a trace. "

All the company dogs on the side were still indifferent, but Rogge shook his head and said: "I told you that it is very troublesome to reconnect with a supervisor, so please don't cause trouble for me."

After saying that, Rogge also looked at the company dog ​​and warned him: "Mr. Wislow, I have to remind you that Blue Bird may not be the best mercenary in the next life, but she is definitely the most capable of fighting. Well, you won’t forget who rescued you, right?”

Upon being reminded by Rogge, the eyes of the company dog ​​named Weislow suddenly changed, and he confirmed to Rogge in a serious tone: "You said it was this little pepper who saved me, and by the way, you praised Wo. Half of the scavengers in the forest area?”

"Yes, it was Blue Bird who did it, and she is the only one." Rogge nodded, gave an affirmative answer, and then asked Wislow: "Are you asking me to find you the most powerful servant in the next life?" Soldiers? It's right in front of you."

Hearing what Rogge said, Wislow's eyes looked at the blue bird with passion.

This is still a look that makes Qade Bird feel sick, but it is a little better than before, that is, from immediately using the Peregrine Falcon to launch fission air-to-ground missiles to hit him, to using the ship-mounted Zhanma Saber to chop him up. Cheng Wensi is like tofu.

By the way, Jade Bird's ship-mounted sword is not a traditional cold weapon, but a polycarbonate single-molecule blade. In addition to never wearing out, the blade also has two modes of high-frequency vibration and thermal energy cutting. It is a good weapon. Kitchen utensils.

"I heard that Miss Jade Bird needs a top-notch metal processing workstation?" Weislow, who had readjusted his attitude, asked Jade Bird. He was so polite that this time he seemed to be able to climb to the position of supervisor in the company. Looks like a corporate dog.

This also allowed the blue bird to listen to him for a while, instead of just chopping him into pieces and recycling the biomass.

"Yes, available?" Qingniao's face was expressionless, unwilling to say a word more.

Wislow didn't take this seriously, and took out an electronic advertisement and placed it in front of Jade Bird and said in an aria: "Please allow me to introduce to you the latest launch of military technology-Special Projects CNC automated processing station.

It includes a variety of machining modes such as cutting, boring and milling, drilling, etc., and has the ability to process metal materials and polymer materials. You only need to input drawings into the control port, and it will process the most perfect parts for you. "

While introducing, Weislow also swiped the screen displayed on the electronic advertisement and switched it to the auxiliary accessories page: "It doesn't matter if you think this doesn't meet your needs, just choose us for this automated CNC machine." With various expansion accessories provided by the processing station, you can enable it to have a series of functions such as 3D printing, heat treatment, polishing, forging, etc., which are enough to meet all your needs.

Even if you want, you can add an automatic assembly component so that the produced parts can be directly assembled into finished products, which can be used right away.

We have also thoughtfully prepared a variety of different styles of packages so that you can have one-stop shopping and avoid the worry of selection. "

Listening to Weislow's introduction, Jade Bird's attention was not on the electronic advertisements and this workstation. Instead, he looked at Weislow and frowned and said: "Before you became a supervisor, you were in marketing, right? You memorized the advertising slogans." Are you so familiar?"

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself." Hearing what Qingniao said, Weislow adjusted the collar of his suit and then took out a business card from his pocket: "I am the military technology company Night City The head of the marketing department of the branch is responsible for the sales of various products of the company."

"No wonder I want to beat you so much." Qingniao said, but his eyes looked at Rogge: "This is what I want, the reward you promised before."

"Don't worry, since you are sure you want this, it will be delivered to the place you designated." Rogge had no objection to this. This was what she promised Jade Bird.

However, Wislow interjected with concern: "This set of SPCNC automated processing stations is worth 12 euros. Different optional packages bring different prices. Do you need additional configurations?"

"Use the bare metal first, and then buy it if necessary." Qingniao replied casually, but what he was thinking was that he would never buy these accessories.

Chapter 29 New life

After talking about the automated processing station, and the atmosphere became somewhat harmonious, Jade Bird looked at Rogge and asked her about the business.

"Didn't you say there is a big job? What kind of job is it?" Qingniao asked Rogge, but he had already guessed in his heart that this was probably related to the company dog ​​in front of him.

Sure enough, Rogge looked at Wislow, saw him nodding, and then explained to Qingniao: "Mr. Wislow has a big deal that requires hiring a team of people. He hopes to hire the most powerful mercenaries in the next life, so I recommended you to him."

"When did I become the most powerful mercenary in the next life?" Qingniao smiled, but did not refuse the title.

In terms of combat effectiveness, all the mercenaries in the next life combined may be able to fight against Blue Bird without using fission weapons, but if Blue Bird is willing, no one can survive a single move in her hands.

So Rogge said that she was the most powerful mercenary in the next life, which was not wrong.
