The Creators: From Night City

These weapons are varied, including pistols, submachine guns, shotguns, and even heavy machine guns disassembled into parts.

On the other side was an antique weapons display stand, each knife more ferocious than the last.

There were piles of ammunition boxes on the ground. These ammunition boxes, produced by military technology, could hold 1000 rounds of standard pistol bullets, and there were dozens of them stacked up layer by layer.

The scene, like a small arsenal, had a huge impact on the mother and son. Even though guns were very common in Night City, it was rare for ordinary people to see such a large number.

The weapons that Jiang Bing recently made are stored here. Except for the [Power] in the basement, most of them are here.

Compared to the original weapons, the weapons here have been modified to varying degrees.

Like a model maker showing off his freshly painted model to visitors, Jiang Bing excitedly introduced his work to the two of them.

"In the middle is the gun rack. From top to bottom, there are pistols, revolvers, submachine guns, rifles, shotguns, and sniper rifles. I've basically fine-tuned these weapons. Compared to the originals, their performance is much better. Of course, I prefer to call them precision-crafted weapons."

His work finally had an audience, and Jiang Bing became more and more excited as he spoke.

"But they're mostly kinetic weapons and a small amount of technological weapons. Intelligent weapons are too complex to be used with specialized implants. For now, we only have a few Arasaka Yukimura weapons here."

Of course, the high price is also the main factor, because it directly leads to the scavengers basically being unable to afford it, and Jiang Bing also lost his largest supply channel.

"The weapons on the left are all melee weapons. They basically have all the mainstream katanas on the market, machetes, blunt weapons, and daggers. I personally like some hand axes and short javelins, which can be used for both chopping and throwing, and for both close and long range."

Cold weapons were even more attractive to David, but he could only reluctantly withdraw his hand in the face of his mother's contempt.

"On the right are the firearms I've made myself or modified significantly from the originals. Since the users are based on me, these works are not suitable for you to use, but you can view them."

The modification of the weapons used by Jiang Bing himself currently has only one concept: strong force, bricks flying. These weapons basically have both maximum power and recoil.

Not to mention David and Gloria, even an ordinary strong man without arm modification would have the gun barrel float into the sky after a few shots.

Jiang Bing searched the shelves for a while, and finally took out an Arasaka Tamaki pistol from the top of the middle shelf and handed it to Gloria.

This compact, delicate and small jade bell is very suitable for ladies to use.

Gloria held the dark black kinetic pistol in her hand.

Sure enough, the ergonomically designed handle fits perfectly with her palm and is very comfortable to hold.

The lightweight gun body makes it easy to aim for a long time, and the 9MM caliber brings a perfect balance between lethality and recoil.

Gloria undoubtedly knows about guns. As soon as she got this gun, she felt that it was different from the guns she had used before. Although she couldn't say whether it was good or bad, when she held the gun in her hand, she felt as if the two had merged into one, and she could use it as easily as using her own arm.

"I'm giving it to you. Consider it a gift for joining the group."

Jiang Bing is happy to see his work being loved by others. This not only gives him a sense of accomplishment, but also allows him to gain resources for professional growth from this behavior.

After all, creating things for others is part of being a craftsman.

"You haven't undergone any combat transformation yet, and I don't think you even have the most basic subcutaneous armor. I'll make you a thin bulletproof vest later. It'll be enough for you for now."

The bulletproof vest was given to David before, but he didn't want it and he didn't see the boy return it on his own initiative. Thinking of this, Jiang Bing couldn't help but glance at David who looked guilty.

However, the bulletproof vest made from heavy subcutaneous armor is too thick. If you wear it, you can forget about wearing Jinguji's clothes. You still need to use light armor. This subcutaneous armor with a thickness of only a few millimeters is basically equivalent to a base shirt when worn close to the body.

However, the source of the materials must be kept strictly confidential. After all, not everyone has the nerves like Jiang Bing.

Holding the cold gun in her hand, Gloria felt a great sense of security when she had a weapon.

In addition, Jiang Bing's specially demonstrated strength this time, the new middleman who was forced to do the job finally felt more confident about tomorrow's trip.

Seeing that Mrs. Martinez was obviously not so nervous, Jiang Bing realized that this muscle show had achieved its purpose.

get out of class is over!

Chapter 13 Opening

Central District, Martin Luther King Boulevard, Fanhua Apartments.

Amid William's nagging, Jiang Bing drove the car into the underground parking lot of the apartment.

At this time, he was wearing a black windbreaker with bulletproof plates installed, and a devil-shaped air filter mask on his face, covering his whole body tightly.

"Follow the plan and don't panic."

Because he doesn't have a brain-computer, Jiang Bing can only communicate on the team's communication channel using headphones.

Brian Scott's apartment was on the 23rd floor. The three of them got into the elevator. William contacted his employer and the elevator automatically started to rise.

After a while, the elevator door opened automatically on the 23rd floor, and Gloria was the first to walk out of the elevator.

Jiang Bing said nothing and followed behind him like a little brother.

The reason why Fanhua Apartment is called Fanhua Apartment is because there are real flowers in the apartment.

Large bunches of flowers are placed under transparent partitions on both sides of the corridor. Thanks to technology, all the flowers are in full bloom.

It was colorful, eye-catching, and caught the attention of the two people who hadn't seen anything good all day.

"These are all real flowers. Just take out a few of them and they can be sold for a lot of money. C, no matter how you look at it, these rich people are so wasteful. They just like to buy these flashy things." William sighed as he looked at them admiringly.

Gloria secretly glanced at Jiang Bing who was following behind, but saw that he was completely indifferent to this rare Western scene. His eyes swept over the flowers without any fluctuation, as if everything was normal.

Gloria felt more and more that her previous guess might be true.

After the surveillance camera at the door detected a group of people, the door of the room opened automatically.

The person who opened the door was a bodyguard in a suit and tie. He was bulging with stuff and it was obvious that he was carrying a weapon.

As a high-end apartment building, Fanhua Apartment has very luxurious units even in the city center where land is extremely expensive.

The spacious living room is over a hundred square meters, with a huge floor-to-ceiling window on the front. Outside the window is the neon-lit city center, and in the distance you can even see the bustling Little Chinatown.

Outside the window is a spacious balcony with enough space for four beach chairs and a barbecue grill.

In fact, that’s what the homeowner did.

This luxurious scene reminded Gloria of the cramped apartment she used to live in. Poor people had to work very hard to own a small place to live, which was not even as big as the balcony here.

Gloria felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart.

Jiang Bing didn't have time to pay attention to all this. He was staring at the ceiling somewhere.

"There are two Kangtao hidden defense machine gun posts. The ceilings are quite new, probably installed recently. It seems someone hasn't been sleeping well lately."

William continued in the channel: "It's normal. Anyone who knows they are being targeted and could lose their life at any time will do this."

"welcome."

The real person walked out of the room, followed by a bodyguard.

Brian Scott is a typical "upper class" in Night City. He took over his father's job in his thirties and is in the prime of his life.

The bodyguard stepped forward and wanted to start searching Gloria first.

Jiang Bing stepped forward silently, stretched out his hand to block the bodyguard's dirty hands, and grabbed his collar with his backhand. With a slight force, the bodyguard, who had undergone a lot of modifications and weighed 300 pounds, was easily lifted into the air and then gently placed aside.

It happened in the blink of an eye, and the consequences were truly self-evident.

The bodyguard behind Brian Scott was about to reach for his gun when he was stared at by Jiang Bing, and the situation became stalemate.

His intuition told him that the consequences of daring to draw his gun might be very ugly!

And it could be undignified, like being shot in the head from a distance with a throwing axe.

"It's not very polite to touch a lady, don't you think, Mr. Brian?"

Gloria made a great assist.

This display of muscle was quite successful, and when Brian spoke again, his tone was less frivolous and more serious.

"Yeah, indeed."

Brian gestured to the two bodyguards to calm down and asked everyone to sit down.

Leather sofas are expensive, and sitting on them feels like falling into the clouds.

"This beautiful Ms. Gloria used to do business there. I haven't heard much about you in Night City."

Brian poured the wine while testing it out skillfully.

"Just as the boss expected," Gloria thought to herself.

"Night City is so big, people are constantly flocking to this city to pursue their dreams. It's normal for people to come and go."

Gloria quickly got into the mood and tried hard to imitate the well-dressed politicians on TV in practicing Tai Chi.

"That makes sense, but not everyone can make it in this city. It's easy to, uh, you know, let your dreams disappear." Brian picked up the wine glass and placed it in front of Gloria and William beside him.

Gloria picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The feeling made her sigh that it was indeed a high-end drink for rich people.

"Eating people is common everywhere. The law of the jungle prevails. Even in Atlanta, it remains the same."

Brian clapped softly, "Excellent."

"Let's put aside the complicated formalities and talk about business."

After some trial and error and getting the desired result, Brian got to the point.

"You all know what happened. The plan you asked William to convey earlier was very good and very typical of your line of work, but now there's been a small twist."

Brian pulled a chip from the slot behind his ear and handed it to Gloria.

"That old fox, Christopher Miller, recently learned I was planning on getting rid of him, and he suddenly launched an attack at the board meeting yesterday. I don't need to go into detail about the specifics, and I'm sure you don't care. Anyway, things have escalated."

Seeing Gloria start to browse the contents of the chip, Brian sighed and spoke in a harsh tone.

"Not only do I need to take that old fox's life, I also need you to get evidence of his corruption from the safe in his residence. Only then can I completely nail his entire faction to the board of directors."

After browsing the data in the chip, Gloria continued, "We're also going to have to steal something from a heavily guarded villa, Mr. Brian. This is going to be much more complicated than originally agreed upon."

Brian took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I understand the rules of the underworld. I'll pay more!"

The atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.

……

Back in the car in the underground parking lot, Gloria could no longer contain her excitement.

"Oh my god, he just gave us the 20 euro deposit so easily. He wasn't afraid that we wouldn't want the remaining 40 and just run away."

"A gold belt for murder and arson, this little money is nothing to him." Jiang Bing continued.

"Besides, the three of us can't handle this job. We have to find more people, which is also a huge expense."

Jiang Bing turned his head to look at William with cockscomb hair in the back seat. The guy looked very cautious at this moment, fearing that Jiang Bing would abandon him and go it alone.

"I understand, I understand. No matter how much effort you put in, you get paid. I only want 10%. Oh no, half is fine."

"You introduced me to this job. After it's done, I'll give you 15% of the commission. But there's one condition: you have to accompany me throughout the entire process."

One must be on guard against others to prevent this guy from having second thoughts, and Jiang Bing made every arrangement foolproof.

Upon hearing this, William immediately danced with excitement. It was unknown whether he did not understand the implication of Jiang Bing's words or was overwhelmed by the huge sum of money.

"I know a team of edgewalkers who are pretty reliable. I can contact them if I need anything."

Jiang Bing glanced at Gloria, who looked a little nervous, and knew in his heart that she was probably talking about Team Mann.

"Not for now. There are too many people and too many eyes. We can just find another hacker to set up security for us and we can handle this job."

"Don't worry about the hacking thing. I'll take care of it. I'll keep the money with Gloria for now. We'll split it up after the deal is settled. Any objections?"

There is nothing wrong with the remaining two people.

"Okay, that's all for now, let's go home."

Not to mention how William, who got off the bus halfway, walked back home, Jiang Bing had his own plans for the hacker.

The next evening, when Gloria was getting ready for work, she saw Jiang Bingshen mysteriously carrying a box into the car.

Seeing her curiosity, Jiang Bing directly stuffed the box into her arms and asked her to open it.

The box is filled with neatly stacked stacks of resident information terminal chips.

Mrs. Martinez turned pale and nearly threw the box out of the window.

This is no different from carrying a box of human heads!

You should know that this chip only exists inside the brain-computer device. It is like the resident ID card of 2077. A person's identity information and important information such as bank account are all stored in this chip.

There are so many of them, it’s not possible to collect them by just killing two people.

"You're not the one who killed an entire skyscraper."

Mrs. Martinez swallowed and asked, suppressing her fear.
