The Creators: From Night City

"There are many factions within biotechnology. There's the flesh-and-blood faction, and naturally there's the cyborg faction."

"As for the unknown pathogenic factor in Ailian's body, if we can unlock the secrets contained therein and reversely deduce it, we can, in a sense, almost completely suppress the pressure of the prosthetic body on the human body."

"And this may be the key for humanity to enter 'mechanical ascension'."

"You also said it's possible, right?" Jiang Bing asked back.

"You don't understand how crazy the scientists on the biotech board are. Even if the probability is small, they're willing to give it a try."

"what"

Jiang Bing chuckled.

"That's not surprising."

"Now that the person has been intercepted, what do you think?" Jiang Bing looked at the other party, intentionally testing him.

"Take it back." Aurora answered decisively.

"Do you know where they're taking people?"

"I don't know." The female doctor had an inexplicable smile on her face.

"But someone must know."

………………

If you ask which hotel in Night City is the most luxurious, the Blue Sky Building would say it’s second, and no one dares to say it’s first.

As the most luxurious hotel in Night City, it is located on the Arasaka Beach in the northwest corner of Night City.

This miracle place, which is hundreds of stories high and built specifically for the elite, is named "Dark Blue Building" simply because its exterior is dark blue.

This is Night City's top entertainment venue and a gathering place for top personnel. The world's financial elites who come to Night City will definitely stay here, and executives from major companies who come to Night City on business will also stay here temporarily.

Here you can see famous politicians walking hand in hand with even more famous Mewtwo stars back to their rooms, and you can also see new money and old money lingering here, socializing, chatting, and engaging in some shady dealings.

Of course, in such places, the business deals have to be high-end, otherwise it is easy to be looked down upon, excluded from the circle, and called a country bumpkin.

Here you can find the most luxurious decorations, the most decadent entertainment, the best services, the safest security, and the most expensive housing prices.

The daily cost of an ordinary guest room is enough for the lower-class people to live for several years, not to mention the countless additional paid services.

A Delaman taxi turned from Eisenhower Street into the intersection of California Street and Cartwright Street, which is the entrance to Arasaka Beach and the location of the Blue Sky Building.

The neatly dressed waiter at the door came forward from afar and welcomed the well-dressed guest into the hall.

Jiang Bing was still wearing a burgundy suit, but the overall style had become more neo-kitsch. A shiny, smooth, and intact white fox fur scarf was wrapped from his left shoulder to his right shoulder. Whether it looked good or not was beyond words, but it fully displayed his luxury and wealth.

Of course, this expensive-looking outfit cost Jiang Bing less than $30 (1899 version), which was not even one thousandth of the euro that Aurora spent on clothes at Jingu-ji Temple.

His clothes were transformed from [Power - Chi You], and the fur was a random item Jiang Bing picked from the fur inventory he brought from the world of Red Dead Redemption.

Aurora, on the other hand, was dressed in Jinguji's clothes, looking like a neo-militarist female secretary. Her aloof look, her head always slightly raised, and her coldness towards everyone except Jiang Bing, the apparent boss, showed that she was always proclaiming that she was a high-level corporate dog, an elite worker, and a lackey under the command of Old Qian.

The two joined forces to form a temporary group that brought out the authentic West Coast old money style.

"Hello, sir. Welcome to the Blue Bi Building. Please go through security this way. Don't worry, it will be quick."

Two tall high-level security gates stand at the main entrance of the Ganbi Building. This multimodal fusion security gate uses comprehensive technologies such as X-ray scanning, millimeter wave imaging, CT technology, and terahertz technology. It can effectively analyze the density and atomic number of materials, and accurately identify explosives, liquid hazardous materials, hidden prostheses, and various known special agent equipment in this world. Any hidden lethal weapons, chemical toxins and other dangerous items will have nowhere to hide under this door.

Of course, it won't be very effective against [Power-Chiyou], a combination of science and magic from another world, plus a few of my thoughts.

Apart from these, the two men had nothing on them, no guns, cold weapons, or even lethal prosthetics.

It looks very harmless and is naturally not afraid of security scans.

"Please, both of you~"

The security guard with a flat head bowed slightly and made way for the two men.

The lobby of the Ganbi Building is very luxurious. The terrazzo floor is covered with red artificial leather. When you step on it, there will be a slight friction feedback, which feels great for your feet.

Chapter 309 Check-in Trouble

The female service staff in charge of registration had her entire body transformed with golden metallic skin and wore a burgundy beret. She was a perfect example of another form of neo-kitsch.

"Hello, welcome to Kanbi Building."

"We need to check in." Aurora stepped forward and negotiated with the other party skillfully.

"Could you please tell me the names you two reserved?"

Guy Fawkes

Aurora gave Jiang Bing's fake name at the moment.

"Okay, one deluxe king-size room for two adults, one night. Please check if the information is correct."

"correct."

Aurora now plays the role of a professional senior secretary. She is frugal with words and has to show her professionalism at the same time, which is a test of her acting skills.

Fortunately, although her acting skills are average, she has not been in the high-end circle for many years in vain. She has seen a lot and learned from others, and she can handle the situation without any mistakes.

But soon, things went wrong.

"The room is ready for you." A room key card with the Arasaka Corporation logo printed on it was respectfully handed to Aurora by the service staff.

"There's one last procedure left. Dear guests, please verify the reservation holder's SID chip (subcutaneous identification device)."

Jiang Bing doesn't have a SID chip at all.

"I don't think that's necessary."

"But, ma'am, this is a necessary rule of the company."

The two men had just exchanged a few words when the lobby manager came over.

The lobby manager of the Ganbi Building is a middle-aged man with a short stature, who also had his lobby covered in golden metal. As soon as he met someone, he gave a typical Japanese 90-degree bow.

“申し訳ありません (Excuse me), ma’am, is there anything I can do for you?”

"My BOSS is currently unable to perform SID chip verification."

"This is a necessary procedure for hotel check-in, ma'am. It's to ensure the safety of our customers. I hope you can understand."

Jiang Bing pretentiously stroked the fox fur tail that draped over his chest and spoke calmly, "I'm sorry, as to the cause of this problem, I think you could check the security scan records just now."

The hall manager took the opportunity to glance at Jiang Bing's body and immediately nodded respectfully in response.

Everyone who works here has a pair of sharp eyes, not to mention that he is equipped with a professional scanning artificial eye, which carries a database of most luxury goods on the market. He can just scan out that the price of the fox fur on Jiang Bing's shoulder is probably close to hundreds of thousands of euros, so his attitude naturally became respectful immediately.

The ability to use money is applicable everywhere.

After a quick check on the data board, the other party immediately bowed and apologized with great craftsmanship, and indicated that Jiang Bing could leave at any time.

The two of them walked to the exit of the lobby. With Jiang Bing's keen hearing, he could still hear the lobby manager scolding the service staff.

"This customer doesn't have any prosthetics installed. Next time you encounter a customer who looks a bit different, you should take this into consideration. Got it?"

Then there was a series of "hai" sounds, but Jiang Bing had walked far away and could not hear them clearly.

As the most luxurious place in Night City, the Blue Sky Building is 100 stories high. Except for the most luxurious Tavernier Suite on the top floor which has been vacant for many years, the other rooms are always full of guests.

The reason is that as one of the most dazzling treasures in Night City, a den of decadence and extravagance, the Blue Jade Building naturally does not just provide simple accommodation services. In fact, the entertainment activities in this building are almost all-encompassing, just like a crystal palace on land.

Floors 3-30 are public entertainment areas, with restaurants, bars, casinos, shopping malls, auction houses, beauty salons, holographic theaters, Super Dream Experience Hall, indoor greenhouse gardens, luxury stores, nightclubs, and the "Red Rope" Japanese Casino, which is famous in Night City.

Floors 31-60 are the guest room area, floors 61-90 are luxury suites, and floors 91-99 are considered Arasaka's private floors. There are a few top-level suites, but they are generally only used to receive important business and political figures and are basically not open to the public. If you want to book a corresponding room, you must have very strong connections, otherwise ordinary people can forget about it.

The suite that Jiang Bing ordered using his virtual identity was on the 75th floor, which was exactly the same floor as the room where Aurora's dear cousin Lusay Charleson usually lived.

In front of the elevator, Jiang Bing couldn't help but ask curiously, "You are so sure he will choose the 75th floor. Isn't he going to change his mind at the last minute?"

"Almost impossible," Aurora replied confidently. "If he were to move into the Blue Bi Building, the 75th floor would undoubtedly be his first choice."

"Your cousin has obsessive-compulsive disorder?" Jiang Bing only thought of this possibility.

"It's more of a little bit of a number fetish than an obsessive-compulsive disorder."

"What's the special meaning of 75?"

Aurora used her hands to lift up her camouflage glasses, and pulled up her high-slit shirt before answering Jiang Bing's question.

"The average heart rate of a healthy adult is 75 beats per minute. To my cousin, 75 is a symbol of health."

The explanation was too powerful and Jiang Bing was speechless.

"What a 'Numerology'!"

Aurora's reaction to Jiang Bing was commonplace.

"In fact, every world-class doctor has his or her own unique quirks. It's very interesting, isn't it?"

Perhaps because the time waiting for the elevator was too boring, this world-leading doctor, who mingled with the top doctors in Europe, enthusiastically told Jiang Bing the gossip and interesting stories in the popular science circle.

"Japan's top surgeon, Keita Ikki, always writes a Japanese haiku on the back of his medical records before he faces a difficult operation. He also prefers paper medical records."

German brain scientist Ben Carson likes to solve a Rubik's Cube with his eyes closed before making a decision; Christian Barnard enjoys racing hovercars, and he only drives the old Lamborghini-Fiat Mach hovercar; William Osler likes to carry a cast of a human skull with him; and leading medical theorist John Hunter is a keen collector of deformed corpses. He has a private museum in Montreal with over 2000 deformed anatomical specimens. You wouldn't believe it."

Jiang Bing wasn't too surprised. "I've encountered the situation you described before. Although the other party is just an unlicensed black doctor in Night City, he can still be considered a doctor to some extent."

"What is his hobby?" Aurora was interested in Jiang Bing's reply.

"Collecting cattle."

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

Fortunately, the 75th floor was not too high for a special high-speed elevator, and they soon arrived at the corresponding floor. The two stepped out of the elevator impatiently.

In Night City, where every inch of land is valuable, the public space of the Blue Sky Building is surprisingly large. In fact, there are no traditional corridors on the 75th floor. Instead, there is an open lobby.

Chapter 310 [Red Rope] Casino

In line with the main color tone of all Arasaka Corporation's buildings in Night City, the style of neo-militarism runs through the entire main space of the Blue Sky Building. A large number of dark tones reveal a sense of coldness and a deadly elegance.

This style originated at the end of the Fourth Corporate War, was rooted in the post-war economic crisis, and developed during the period of reconstruction and vigorous economic development in various countries. It has an obvious military style, silent, reliable, neat and orderly.

Several carefully cultivated Japanese dwarf welcoming pines are scattered in the corners of the public space. A small number of bright-colored metal blocks serve as decoration, making the overall style less cold, but the shapes of these decorations are also regular and full of edges and corners.

Fortunately, the interior decoration of room 7503, which they had booked as a private space, finally broke away from the neo-militarist style.

The whole room is very spacious. Since we booked a deluxe king-size room, the most eye-catching thing when we entered the room was the king-size bed that dominated the room and firmly occupied the main space.

The bed is a good bed, soft and comfortable, facing the luxurious long aquarium in the room. On the left is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the entire Arasaka Beach.

The red synthetic wood used for the floor complements the zebra-striped ceiling, creating an atmosphere that is both business-like and casual.

Aurora seemed to be very familiar with the layout of this place. She walked in, took two quick steps, turned on the light, threw herself on the bed, and let out a satisfied moan.

These days, she has been living in a small apartment and her bed is not of good quality, which makes the velvet princess's waist cry out in fatigue.

"Mr. Sabul, would you like to come and sit down?"

The beauty lay on her side on the big bed, supporting her head with her hands, her golden hair falling down like a waterfall. Her extremely well-proportioned figure made her look quite charming depending on the distance and height.

She was raising her calves, and her latest model of Jinguji high heels were adjusted in mid-air with her toes, shaking continuously. Her slender, round palms kept slapping the bed in front of her, like a call, and like a tease.

Jiang Bing was indifferent. He was only interested in the other person, not the person himself.

"You may not understand me." Jiang Bing looked at Aurora, who looked like a lazy cat.

"Don't try to gamble on me with your body anymore. I won't fall for it. Of course, don't worry about me selling you out. I will definitely do what I promise."

"Also, I think you should have a full understanding of [Anti-Entropy] before you choose to come to me. We have the ability to help you fulfill your wish."

"So, don't try this on me anymore. Power-for-sex transactions won't work for me."

There is no fool who can thrive in a big company. When Aurora heard Jiang Bing's cold promise, she realized that the other party had seen through her plan. The slightly lustful expression on her face suddenly subsided, and she no longer had the coquettish look she had just now.

"I have to say, Mr. Sabul, I now have a new respect for you. However, I may just want to relax for a while."

"You guys who come out of big companies are just cunning." Boss Jiang said with disdain.

"Hurry up, get down to business."

As a luxury hotel, the space layout of the Ganbi Building is naturally not cramped.

After twists and turns, the two finally stopped in front of the door of room 7501.

"Are you so sure your cousin would choose room 7501? Is this also his little habit?"

Aurora looked around, her guilty conscience almost written all over her face.
