The Creators: From Night City

Jiang Bing shook his head.

"Oh?"

"I will choose to be the sky."

Mr. Blue Eyes has become somewhat accustomed to Jiang Bing's arrogance.

"That's really not an easy thing to do."

Jiang Bing pounded the hard concrete floor impatiently with his cane. "If you want to test my opinion of these two companies, I can tell you straight out. There's no need to beat around the bush. We're all exhausted."

Jiang Bing's words finally made Mr. Blue Eyes return to his original cold expression.

"So what's your take?"

"I don't want to see them at all, not even once."

"No problem, let's get down to business. After all, everyone is very busy."

High EQ: Everyone is very busy.

Low EQ: Stop talking nonsense and get down to business.

"If nothing unexpected happens, there is a secret underwater military base containing military technology in Morro Bay north of Golden Beach." Mr. Blue Eyes has his own confidence in his dealings with the underworld, and the moment he opens his mouth he reveals a shocking secret that will completely overturn the previous one.

"Why, do you want me to help you blow it up?" But Boss Jiang's painting style was obviously better.

As soon as these words were spoken, Mr. Blue Eyes' blue eyes widened noticeably. He carefully examined the unruly Jiang Bing again, as if he had gotten to know him all over again.

"That's not the case. That military base is decades old, a typical relic of the Fourth Corporate War."

"But the New American Joint Intelligence Agency has been active there recently. They must have remembered something."

"Do you want me to get it back for you?" Jiang Bing asked.

"Let's talk business, and this favor of yours is not enough."

"We need to get the things." Mr. Blue Eyes first confirmed part of Jiang Bing's question, "but not for me."

He fumbled with the old-fashioned ring on his finger. "Instead, it has to be handed over to Arasaka. And it has to be handed over by a third party other than military technology."

"As for the reward," Mr. Blue Eyes pulled a data chip from his suit pocket and handed it to Jiang Bing. "You will take the initiative to give me a discount."

Jiang Bing took the chip and inserted it into his portable data pad to check the information. He said casually, "That's quite a few requirements. Let me guess. It's another subtle need for checks and balances, right?"

"Politics is the art of compromise," Mr. Blue Eyes replied calmly.

Jiang Bing flipped through the documents in his hand without even looking up.

"You politicians have dirty hearts."

"Oh, he is also on the list of invited guests. No wonder you are so confident." Jiang Bing seemed to have discovered something interesting, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

"You must ensure that no innocent people are implicated. After all, everyone on this ship is considered a prominent figure in Night City."

Jiang Bing looked at the other person and said, "Let me guess, is there a hidden person planted by you?"

"The most significant impact is negative." Mr. Blue Eyes crossed his arms. "After all, if all these people were killed, Night City would inevitably be in turmoil. Right now, a stable political environment is what both of us need."

"I'll try my best." Jiang Bing finally made his promise.

"Finally, for the sake of our friendship, I suggest you make his disappearance more 'normal'. After all, dying in a gutter and being assassinated openly in front of so many dignitaries and celebrities are two completely different things."

Jiang Bing gave him a mocking yet polite smile, "In your eyes, am I the kind of reckless man who kills everyone at the slightest disagreement?"

The blue-eyed gentleman, trying to maintain his politeness, stared at Jiang Bing without saying a word, but his face silently showed a subtle expression of "why don't you examine what you have done before and then consider whether to say this?"

"I accept your suggestion."

Jiang Bing stuffed the data tablet back into his arms, patted his chest, and agreed to the deal decisively, "I'll definitely get it done for you."

………………

From the Night City Municipal Center to the west, a cross-sea bridge connects to the United Orbital Airport standing in the bay.

The Golden Beach Yacht Marina is built on the side of the cross-sea bridge facing Night City. It is not a large place, but it is decorated very luxuriously, with a retro-style lounge, a reception room, and an open observation room decorated with flowers and plants. It is clean and tidy, and there is no garbage on the ground at all.

It's like two completely different worlds compared to the central area of ​​Night City, which is just across the gate.

However, if any tourists want to come in for a visit, they will be immediately driven away with three or five guns pointed at their heads. These cold-faced security guards lingering at the dock will use their vehement fists to tell you what a private area is and that entry is not allowed.

In the city center where every inch of land is valuable, this small pier has four berths for medium-sized luxury cruise ships and is always full all year round.

Dozens of other berths for smaller yachts are also in short supply.

Even though the daily ship docking management fees, berthing fees, and security fees add up to almost five figures, people who can afford a yacht don't care about these trivial matters at all.

The exclusive berth in the center of the pier is home to a fantastic large private yacht, the Poseidon.

It has beautiful teak decks, gilded decorations, and three decks that ensure ample space for activities. The open-air lounge on the top deck, the private meeting room, the cigar room, the spa center, and a full range of facilities make it an upscale "place of pleasure."

After the ship leaves the shore, it undoubtedly becomes a temporarily isolated place. Before it docks, it sails around the bay like an independent kingdom, which ensures both safety and privacy.

A perfect lawless place, an excellent place for profiteering, a perfect place for indulgence.

Chapter 272 Yacht Robbery

Every Friday night, it always runs at a fixed time, carrying fixed customers, along a fixed route, and provides a fixed banquet for the passengers inside.

This forms a circle.

A circle that includes a few elite people in Night City.

As a gathering place for these wealthy and noble upper-class people, the security force of the "Poseidon" during navigation is several times greater than that of the Golden Beach Yacht Marina.

All guest lists are by invitation only, and before boarding the ship, each guest will be scanned in full to ensure that not even a piece of iron can be brought on board.

Mr. Blue Eyes was not interested in the dirty deeds on the ship, but the old antique underwater base of military technology was located within the warning waters of the United Orbital Airport.

As a space airport in the cyber age, the entire airport and the surrounding sea area of ​​more than ten kilometers are under strict surveillance by the other party.

The number of sensors in the sea is several times higher than that on the surface.

Once an illegal intrusion is discovered, the other party's destroyer gunboat will not listen to the intruder's excuses, but will only greet the other party with guns and gunpowder.

And this ship is the only one in Night City that can pass through the edge of the opponent's guarded waters.

The best part is that it has fixed sailing times.

This is why Mr. Blue Eyes chose it.

To sum up, it is simply the perfect springboard to the military technology underwater base.

………………

Ava Cole.

A rare female council member in Night City.

She is mainly responsible for managing the relationship between Night City employees and companies. Her position can be considered a lucrative one because in Night City, there are basically few companies and employees who can get along harmoniously.

If there are problems, they must be rectified. If they are to be rectified, the business must be closed. If they do not want to close the business, they must give gifts.

This is also the reason why she can own a yacht of her own at the Golden Beach Yacht Marina at such a young age.

During the day, she is a righteous city councilor, fighting violence and upholding justice. But at night, the situation is completely reversed.

According to Chief Supervisor Gloria, this female councilwoman either suffers from a severe sex addiction or simply rows her boat without oars—relying entirely on the waves.

To describe her as hungry and indiscriminate is an understatement. Consumption data obtained from other middlemen show that on average she looks for nearly 15 sex partners per week, not to mention sex partners from other channels.

After seeing these data, Jiang Bing couldn't help but believe that the other party was indeed suffering from sex addiction.

Otherwise, how serious would this addiction be?

If there was a choice, Jiang Bing would not be willing to choose her as a breakthrough point. Unfortunately, the other yacht owners at the dock were either not in Night City in the near future or there was no suitable opportunity to make a move.

He had no choice but to humble himself and take the risk.

At night, as the gathering place of Night City's middle class, the light pollution in the Meiquan District is far beyond that of Coronado Ranch.

An ordinary but very capable Columbus V340-F truck drove along the wall of Linhai Park, passed the Meiquan District Pumping Station, and stopped near the coastline next to Palm Landscape Plaza.

The driver was Jack, a native of Heywood.

He got out of the car, looked around and saw no one, then opened the tailgate.

Jiang Binggou got out of the car stealthily, carrying a rather large underwater propeller in his hand.

The co-pilot, Vincent, had already climbed to a high place and was searching the sea with a high-magnification night vision telescope.

Soon, he found a little light like a bean lamp on the inky black but calm sea surface.

He turned the multiplier gear to confirm that the target yacht was under the light.

Jiang Bing silently slid into the water dragging the underwater propeller, and clipped the propeller onto the back of his newly-made [Rain Master] - the 'underwater combat armor prototype'. He unfolded two flexible wings that imitated the shape of a manta ray, and using low-frequency swinging, he silently rushed towards the yacht near the coast.

Considering the possibility of underwater combat this time, and [Power-Chiyou] has already been forged and formed, and basically no structural changes can be made, Jiang Bing simply wore a layer of underwater combat armor on top of the normal armor.

"Dead Space" uses space suit technology as a framework, combined with classic and popular underwater combat prostheses and equipment on the market. The armor Jiang Bing is currently wearing is a fusion of cutting-edge technology and bionic principles, successfully balancing concealment, combat lethality and adaptability to deep water areas.

The armor surface is covered with shark skin bionic scales, and the unique groove structure can reduce turbulent resistance by at least 80%. The micro magnetohydrodynamic thrusters embedded in the joints can change the direction of the magnetic field, thereby generating bubble-free thrust. Although the speed is not fast, the maximum speed can only be maintained at 15 knots (about 27.8km/h), but it does not generate bubbles and waves when moving, and it is extremely concealed.

The manta ray-like thrusters on its back can reach a cruising speed of 55 knots (about 102km/h).

The sea tide surged, creating wave after wave.

The small yacht turned off the engine and stopped driving. Pushed by the waves, it kept swaying up and down, and the situation was getting worse.

Jiang Bing took advantage of the night and just poked his head out of the water when he heard waves of a woman's wails, which were like the undulating waves and lingering in the air. It made people feel pity for her and wondered how badly she had been beaten.

Ava Cole's yacht has a shallow waterline, but the side of the yacht at the right rear end is still nearly two meters above the horizontal plane.

As Jiang Bing turned upward, the propeller easily pushed him out of the water. In silence, he jumped high out of the water like a dolphin.

Jiang Bing easily climbed over the side of the boat, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people, with the help of the thrust from the water.

The broad bionic manta ray flexible wings automatically folded behind the back to avoid interfering with the user's movements. Jiang Bing pulled out a fluid-type folding spear used for underwater close combat from behind, unfolded it and held it in his hand, to see if there would be a chance to accumulate some actual combat data.

Small but complete.

Although the yacht is small, it has everything you need including a driving area, bedroom, kitchen, living room and bathroom.

Following the "screams", Jiang Bing felt his way from the stern power compartment along the side deck and the cabin area to the front open deck, and only then did he discover the "crime scene".

I have to say, city people love to have fun.

Ava Cole fought one against three gangsters and suppressed them, gaining the upper hand.

The four of them fought all the way from the recliner to the dining table, and the battle became tense for a while.

Faced with the enemy's tacit cooperation, Ava Cole responded flawlessly.

Relying on the rich practical experience accumulated over the years, she jumped up and down, fought in the south and the north, and killed in the east and the west. When the battle situation became the most intense, the sex puppet master who was responsible for cutting the middle road suddenly caught a glimpse of a strange shadow that looked like a human but not a human, and like a fish but not a fish standing quietly in the darkness of the cabin. She was frightened, and coupled with the stimulation of external factors, she couldn't help but shiver.

Chapter 273 The Poseidon sets sail

Friends who often fight with the opposite sex (of course, it may also be the same sex) know that when the battle is in full swing, the thing people fear most is shivering, whether it is active or passive, whether it is voluntary or involuntary, once the shiver occurs, what follows is the loss of willpower, the beginning of retreat, and the prelude to withdrawal.

This was obviously the case with the dark-skinned young man, and his opponent, Ava Cole, sensed something was wrong at the first moment and became very angry.

"That's it?! Didn't you say you were the top player in Dark Matter? Is this all you're capable of?"

The black-skinned sex puppet blinked subconsciously, but found that the black shadow in the corner had disappeared, which made him even more frightened.

"There's a ghost!"

"No means no, don't give me excuses, just get out of here and let someone else take over."

However, the reality disappointed her. Not only did she not wait for someone to take over her shift, but she was also hit by Jiang Bing's punch without knowing it and fell asleep.

Each of the four people was rewarded with a signal blocking chip. Jiang Bing went into the bedroom, found a blanket, wrapped the four people in it, threw them casually in the corner of the cabin, and returned by boat.

The two brothers were guarding the Columbus V340-F cargo van, chatting about gossip.

Jack has been working so much for Anti-Entropy lately that he's almost become a bonded laborer. Under Vincent's words and deeds, the stronghold of freedom in his heart has been completely corrupted.

After all, most people have to make a living and have to focus on money.

Seeing the yacht gradually approaching the shore, the two knew that Jiang Bing had succeeded. They worked together and busily moved a nearly two and a half meters long and very heavy metal box from the car.

The box contains a plasma cutting and welding machine specially designed for underwater special operations, as well as weapons suitable for underwater combat.

This welding machine has its own underwater propulsion system. Its large size is purely because Jiang Bing has piled up a huge amount of high-energy storage batteries to increase its battery life in order to ensure long-term use.
