The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

"Well, why don't you just go up and rest. I can handle the rest myself."

The scavengers sent to kidnap people haven't returned yet, and I'm afraid the remaining people in their lair will soon become suspicious.

——Instead of waiting for them to come to you, it’s better to take the initiative and destroy them.

"Come on, how can you sleep after something like this? And what if you leave me and run away?"

Lucy rolled her eyes at him, then, still not satisfied, punched him with her little fist.

".....Do you really not trust me?"

"Stop talking nonsense. We are partners, and partners always act together—you said so yourself."

"I don't remember the latter part."

Walk outside the hotel and throw the scavenger out of the driver's seat of the van.

There is no need to worry about the body; the city government's body collection team will deal with it the next day.

"Anyway, welcome to Night City, Lucy."

Chapter 298 Getting on the Right Track

The scavenger is very bad.

It’s really bad.

Among all the well-known gangs in Night City, they are undoubtedly the most insignificant and are completely at the bottom of the food chain.

After all, their situation is similar to that of the Luan Dao Society.

The internal structure is quite loose, but because they are in the same city, they can see each other everywhere, so there is still some connection between each small group.

But basically, anyone or gang with some strength can give them a kick without worrying about being troubled by these scum afterwards.

After all, the purpose of this bunch of scum is to make money, and there is no such thing as brotherhood - as long as they do it a little cleaner.

This was not a problem at all for Lin Qiao, who had ample experience in exterminating people in the previous world.

Well, having said that, you should think that the next step is to teach the scavenger a lesson, right?

But not.

After all, there is really nothing to say.

Basically, Lucy hacked the surveillance camera inside from outside, and Lin Qiao went in to see Wushuang.

However, in order not to arouse suspicion from other parties, he did not use the smoke gun and smoke sword during the entire process.

Instead, he picked up a shotgun, turned on the acceleration mode, walked to the scavengers, and pulled the trigger at their heads one by one.

boom!boom!boom!boom!

After a few gunshots, the world became completely quiet.

The whole process was simple and unpretentious. It took less than a minute from the time one walked in to the time all the scavengers inside were killed.

Including the time to search for spoils, it's just over five minutes.

Just thinking of the scenes she had seen in it, Lin Qiao couldn't help but be amazed.

The ground was covered in blood. In the bathtub filled with ice water, there were several stripped and lifeless men and women - they seemed to have drowned.

On the operating table nearby, lay a half-dismembered woman, with her various organs and prostheses sorted and packed into vacuum bags.

It's like an orderly slaughterhouse.

The last time I saw a similar scene was in the ghoul restaurant in Tokyo Ghoul World.

"Lucy is lucky to be allowed to stay outside, otherwise she wouldn't be able to sleep for the next two days."

Although I don’t know what the child has experienced in the past that he has become so accustomed to killing people.

But even a tough guy would probably feel nauseous after watching the scenes inside.

For her mental and physical health and the quality of her sleep over the next few days, it was a good thing I didn't let her in.

Oh yes, plus the scavengers had their brains exploded all over the floor after being shot in the head... I guess the NCPD who came to investigate the scene the next day had a good time.

"But those people who sell kidneys are surprisingly rich."

In his hand were several chip cards filled with money, totaling 110,000 Euros.

The scavengers had just dismantled two company dogs and sold their prosthetic bodies for a good price.

No wonder these guys can never be killed completely. In addition to market demand, the income from the no-cost business is also a very important reason.

Adding on the money taken from the Randao Society and the innkeeper before, the total amount is almost 160,000.

In Night City, this is a huge sum of money... although it's not actually that much.

Lin Qiao raised her head and looked at the big screen outside the window. An advertisement for Rayfield Motors was playing on it, and the content was exactly The Sword in the Stone.

One hundred and fifty thousand euros?

Fifteen thousand yuan may not even be enough to buy a car seat.

——I can only say that the prices in the game are just for fun.

Even so, having such a large sum of money is enough for an ordinary family in Night City to maintain their living expenses for a long time.

"It's a pity that after today, we will have to say goodbye."

Lin Qiao shook her head helplessly.

This is enough wealth for a person to splurge in Westbrook for a long time. If used for serious business, the speed of consumption will be second only to those extravagant projects.

But there is no need to feel sorry. There are many ways to make money in this city, not to mention with his ability.

Outside the window, unknown sports cars passed by one after another, and the people inside were all dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, but before this, Saint-Domingo was full of poor people.

There are countless people who have to hide in a corner because they have no house or cannot afford the rent.

It's obviously the same city, but it's incredibly big, just like this outrageous society...

Forget it, this seems to have not changed much from ancient times to the present. Those who suffer from drought will die of drought, and those who suffer from floods will die of floods.

The only difference is that this world is presented in a more concrete and vivid way.

At this moment, there was a sound of tiptoeing footsteps behind me.

"Have you changed it?"

He turned his head and looked at Lucy, who looked a little unhappy because she was discovered - maybe she wanted to sneak up behind him and scare him.

The two are now in a clothing store in Westbrook.

It’s not too high-end, but the stuff inside isn’t cheap either. Fortunately, it’s worth the price.

Of course, the main purpose of coming here is to change Lucy's clothes... As for his clothes, there is no need to change them. Anyway, there are many people pursuing retro styles these days.

"How is it?" Lucy opened her arms and turned around in a circle.

A light black and white plaid hooded jacket and cropped trousers with some kind of pattern.

"It looks good... I'll take this one."

I looked up and down at Lucy, who had changed a lot. Compared to the night before when she was dressed so well that people would mistake her for a vagrant, now she at least looked like a city dweller.

The sleeves are just a little long...but considering that she's still growing, it's better to buy a slightly larger size.

He walked over and put the hood on her, which just covered the Arasaka cybernetic body at the back of her head which could not be completely covered due to her short hair.

He nodded to the waiter next to him, then went over to pay the bill.

When the chip card containing money is swiped on the machine at the front desk, a slight "beep" sound is heard, indicating that the payment is completed.

In Night City, apart from the poor and those religious people who don't reform because of their faith, at least one-third of the remaining people who don't use electronic transfers have unclean identities...

But this is Night City.

So is it enough to just mind your own business and make more money? It’s not like people aren’t paying you.

The front desk waiter, who was already accustomed to this, smiled politely and saw the two out.

"Where to go next? Buy prosthetics? Or weapons?"

Lucy fanned herself with her hands at the stuffy air in the car, then expressed her opinion.

She had roughly figured out how to survive in this city.

But Lin Qiao shook her head: "Neither, let's go find a more reliable middleman first."

"middleman?"

"That's right. Don't forget that we are both complete illegal immigrants."

The only question is who to turn to?

Chapter 299 Wild Wolf Bar

There are many middlemen in Night City, but if you want to be considered as "prominent", most of them have to be screened out.

After all, most of the middlemen are doing things like hiring gangsters to cause trouble, lending money at high interest rates, or helping people hire a few sex dolls to hold silver parties.

And if we add the words "reliable" and "all-powerful" on this basis, the remaining ones can be counted on one hand.

Basically, the middlemen that appeared in the original game are the most top-notch and reliable ones in Night City...including that fat black guy Dexter DeShawn.

Having said that, who to choose is also a problem.

Wakako Okada, who is also in Westbrook, can be ruled out first.

Several of her husbands were from the Tiger Claw Gang, which was Arasaka's black glove. Although she should have the most basic confidentiality and integrity as a middleman, there was no need for her to take this risk.

As for Regina Jones, whom he originally intended to find, she had just become the middleman not long ago.

Even though he had already made a name for himself with the experience and connections he had gained as a war correspondent, and was somewhat well-known in the Watson District, and his character was considered to be of good character, his ability was not necessarily guaranteed.

This way, the choices are much more limited.

Heywood is an area in Night City where the differences are most obvious.

The northern part bordering the municipal center is very prosperous, with towering skyscrapers, beautiful parks, and complete public service facilities.

But when you get to the south, the gap suddenly increases, as if you have run into the suburbs. The architectural style is filled with a suburban rusticity, and at night there are gunfights between the Valentino Gang and the Six Street Gang fighting for territory.

But generally speaking, it is a pretty good place...at least compared to other places.

"bar?"

The SUV stopped at a parking space on the side of the road. Lucy stuck her head out and looked at the bar in front of her, which was decorated with a huge bison skull.

To be exact, it is the "Wild Wolf Bar".

"Don't you need to bring weapons?"

"Going to talk business with someone is not like going to fight. Besides, even if a fight really breaks out, your water gun will be useless."

Lexington, that's the real 8 lines.

To put it bluntly, if you use this thing to rob in Night City, a city full of martial virtues, there is a high chance that you will be robbed back.

"Remember what I just told you?"

"Yes, yes, remember it all. Don't worry about anything after you go in. Act weak and pitiful... You've told me this several times, right?"

Lucy nodded helplessly, but then Lin Qiao stuffed a small backpack into her.

There are multiple pockets on it, and you can tell at a glance that it is suitable for traveling.

It just looks a bit sorry.

“It’s so ugly…it hurts!”

The white-haired girl gave her evaluation without hesitation, and then slapped Lin Qiao on the head.

"Stop talking nonsense and carry it on your back. It will be useful if something unexpected happens later."
