Infinity, progress from Arasaka

As soon as there were signs of a riot, we would use cannons and machine guns to cooperate with the Sydney branch to suppress it.

Now that the storm has passed, the Intelligence Department has found out that there is no "friendly foreign countries or friendly companies" secretly causing trouble, and the alert level has been lowered, and the Sydney incident has ended.

Vera immediately applied to return to Night City.

Only she herself knows the real reason. On the one hand, she is indeed taking her friendly forces into consideration. This is not America's home ground. You are a guest. The more powerful you are, the more incompetent they will appear, right?

On the other hand, the remaining finishing touches were just too messy.

Even if she doesn't care about food, she will never touch that thing.

Avoid it if you can.

Even if she was a whore, she at least hoped that her hands could be whiter than those of other corporate dogs.

After adjusting the airplane seat, Vera didn't want to explain any more, so she sent her subordinates away, stretched her body, took a step, closed her eyes, synchronized her thought process with the central processor, and called up the virtual grid email bar.

-application-

From: Vera Adelheid Russell [Night City]

Recipient: Arasaka Tokyo Global Headquarters

【Scholarships and internal admission recommendation for the Tokyo University Law School Arasaka】

The thought data interface reflected the user's face, and Vera's eyes flashed with a thoughtful orange-red light.

My promotion has now reached its peak.

As a person of an outsider, she was promoted to such a high position at the age of 21 with various buffs such as "loyal orphan", "second-generation direct lineage company dog", and "official descendant". It was rare. If she wanted to be promoted further, no matter how many conventional merits Vera had made, she would need to wait for a few more years before being moved.

If she doesn't move up one or two levels, it will be inconvenient for her to reveal Umbrella's true knowledge and technology in virology!

Vera could clearly feel that her attraction to her space-time isotope who was the director of Black Umbrella at Umbrella was getting stronger and stronger.

Above the illusory and abstract knowledge is the entity...

If her level is not high enough, she will not be able to report those "discoveries" to the emperor, and then meet Saburo Arasaka in person to explain the prospects of immortality of the T-virus and the G-virus, and she will not be able to maximize her interests.

There's no point just waiting!

Too passive.

As for such a great feat, is Vera going to blow up the military technology building in Night City and drive the military technology forces out of Night City?

Even the fifth corporate war is about to begin.

In this case, Vera needs to find another way and change the track.

Why not find a school to study?

In today's world, for those mercenaries, those who travel the Badlands, and those who hang out in the Afterlife and Lizzie's Bar, going to school is definitely like taking off your pants to fart. It's useless and you might as well sell your buttocks.

But in the eyes of the real ruling class of this world, the 'Celestial Dragons', that thing is very important.

It is not a mixed community college, nor a mid-level college affiliated with large companies, but a real university.

It's the kind of university where, as soon as you graduate, you find out that all the executives of various companies, government officials, and various wealthy people are your classmates and seniors.

For example, Berkeley-Askaga University in New America, the candidates for the mayor of Night City, Mr. and Mrs. Perales, and many White House officials and members of Congress in New America graduated from this college.

Vera's goal, the University of Tokyo, is the cradle of Arasaka's senior executives and politicians from Pacific Rim countries. Arasaka Yorinobu graduated from here.

It has been almost two years since she graduated from Arasaka Tower Academy in Night City.

Social sedimentation is probably enough.

I am so motivated and want to make progress. Starting from my graduate internship, I have participated in hundreds of operations, big and small, over the years and made considerable contributions. I am not short of money, so I don't have to worry about it becoming a bad debt.

Arasaka, I advise you not to be ungrateful!

drop!

Arasaka Tokyo Headquarters.

Analytical Department Directorate-General.

On the information interaction interface, Vera's application form is prominently displayed.

"Vera, the rising star of Night City's security department, the chief of security, the head of the special assault force, has extensive combat experience, and it is said that she has a good relationship with Adam Hammer."

"There is no problem with her file or resume. She is the only daughter of Fred Russell, a North American. She is beautiful, clean, young, talented, and ambitious to climb to the top of Arasaka Tower."

"She's interested in biotechnology research, and wants to join the security department to inherit her late parents' wishes? Maybe, but I guess she wants to climb up the ladder more. She has a strong desire for power."

"Based on my deduction, she can't be a hidden corporate spy. The chance of her being recruited by Arasaka's hostile forces is almost zero. Applying for a scholarship? She shouldn't need a scholarship. With her past learning ability and grades, the chance of bad debts and redundant expenses for the 2070 class is extremely low."

"My opinion, pass."

"agree."

"Submit the list to Lord Arasaka Saburo for review."

Chapter 022 Give Me

Perhaps because of the long journey, Vera, who had no interest in the current task at hand, lay down all the way to Night City. Following the reminder from the flight attendant AI, the subordinates carefully woke Vera up from her rest.

Vera, who was lying on her back with her mind empty, turned over and looked up. Through the porthole, she saw the Night City slowly approaching and becoming clearer under the night sky.

This is her home ground.

Night City International Airport is approximately 15 kilometers away from the Corporate Square in the city center. Vera is already familiar with this route.

"The application has been sent, just wait."

After arriving at Arasaka Tower in a hovercraft, she handed over the mission and informed the logistics department to report the loss of various equipment and supplies. After wandering around the office for a while, Vera went home in a bored mood.

drop.

"Welcome home, Miss Vera."

After returning home, Vera stepped out of the tarmac, and melodious soothing music slowly played in her ears. When Vera returned to Night City, she received a signal. The humanoid robot that had been waiting for a long time came forward, took Vera's suitcase, and bowed in a formal manner.

In half a year, all the home security services that Vera subscribed to were in place.

Although she needs to travel outside frequently, she cannot skimp on protection at home.

Especially after her status within Arasaka rose.

The security of the company community is indeed guaranteed, but Vera dare not be careless about the protection of her personal family.

Karoly's new series of home security robots is just one part. They can fight, but they are more inclined towards basic security and life. They can cook, sweep the floor, and even play the piano. In short, Vera found them very comfortable to use, so she bought a few.

Vera used her status as a senior member of Arasaka Security to purchase a team of five Arasaka combat robots at an internal discount price.

Vera even built a helipad for Arasaka's automated combat mecha and placed it in the backyard of her home.

Such as other defensive measures, such as ordering intrusion countermeasure units and home network firewalls from Network Monitoring, ordering AS-1 sentry turrets installed at several high points in the apartment from Kang Tao, and contacting Rayfield Company for upgrading and modifying services for the hovercraft...

It can be said that money is spent like water.

If the Russell family itself did not have considerable assets, and Vera's salary and bonus after field mission rating were not very high, she really could not afford to spend it this way.

Phew, the security department is still good. It is dangerous, but the benefits of field missions are really good.

When maintaining public security and stability, we must suppress and eliminate those unstable factors.

For example, the accounts and assets of the most active gangs will naturally be divided up by Vera and her Arasaka soldiers according to the unspoken rules.

A part of Arasaka needs to be handed over, but it is impossible to hand over all of it. Arasaka still needs those grassroots soldiers to fight for their lives.

The most important thing is that Vera is good at increasing revenue rather than living off the resources.

[Dangerous Girl, 2074 Business Partner Annual Dividend]

The built-in artificial eye plug-in in Vera's eye flashed orange-red light.

Money, isn’t it here again?

Danger Girl is small in size, but that is compared to giants like Arasaka and Militech. Its annual profit is an astronomical figure for an individual.

Vera stared at the jumping numbers on the Arasaka Bank account, carefully counted the number of units three times, nodded slowly, and felt more cheerful.

Da da……

After entering, Vera kicked off her office shoes and stepped barefoot on the soft carpet. She unbuttoned the collar of her coat, threw the coat on the housekeeping robot, untied her hair that had been bound for a day, and let it cascade down like a waterfall.

Crash.

The service robot, which calculates the time when Vera returns home and has cooked the regular ingredients ordered from the biotech farm, pushes the dining cart to the living room on time, clears the table and serves the food.

Let’s eat first.

After a hearty meal, Vera, feeling full and refreshed, lay down directly on the large white sofa in the living room, letting her body sink into the softness of the sofa.

Crossing her legs, she immediately connected to the home wide-area television. Her thoughts were in sync with the data signal, and with a thought, she automatically switched to News Channel 54.

"Hello everyone, welcome to this special episode of News 54."

“I’m Gillian Jordan, and we’re bringing you local news for all the Night City folks who are concerned about their hometown. First up is some sad news from the Badlands.”

"A humanitarian convoy belonging to Militech was bloodily attacked by a group of lawless wanderers..."

"Tsk."

Seeing Junke's misfortune, Vera's mouth couldn't help but reveal a look of gloating.

It's probably due to the environment. Military technology is Arasaka's biggest rival in the field of arms. There are countless dirty tricks and intrigues between the two sides. Having been in the Arasaka camp for so many years, as a senior security official, it would be impossible for her to have a good impression of military technology.

Unless she wants to change jobs.

Soon, Vera put the bad luck in the military science department behind her, and instead of hoping that others would have bad luck, she thought of ways to climb up.

Trying to multitask, Vera quickly browsed the local news that happened during her absence from Night City.

"..."

Perhaps it was the torment of waiting. As Vera watched, she fell into deep thought. She unconsciously placed her hands behind her head and lay back on the sofa, looking at the high-tech chandelier on the ceiling, speechless for a long time.

While waiting for a reply from Tokyo headquarters, she probably won't go out on any more field missions.

Staying in Night City would give her a reason and the time to improve her part-time business line with Danger Girl.

If Umbrella's products continue to iterate, the latest models of products on the market and some high-end medical technologies that can impact biotechnology will need to use the by-products of T virus research as raw materials.

The cyberpunk world obviously does not have these raw materials.

At least Vera was not sure that she could find the Stairway to the Sun flower and extract the Progenitor virus in the ruins of the Diya tribe in Africa in the cyberpunk world view.

So--

After so much preparation, let's get started.

Vera narrowed her eyes, and her originally lazy and blurry eyes became sharp and firm.

Wow.

Getting up, going upstairs to the private bedroom, Vera walked into the bathroom.

Light.

Vera looked at herself in the sink mirror.

He was wearing a shirt and a loose tie, with delicate facial features, a high nose bridge, clear lines, and the subtle concave muscle lines left by the prosthetics were beautiful and powerful. The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, making him look like a high-ranking corporate dog who seemed ready to give orders at any time.

Vera had no intention of being vain; she just stared at herself in the mirror quietly.

"The calling of the universe, I know this can work."

The originally calm face began to show subtle changes at the moment of making up his mind.
