The Creators: From Night City

Fortunately, Jiang Bing is very good at dismantling things.

"It hurts, Aurora." These were Ellen Eleanor's first words after the hatch was opened.

Aurora's eyes were filled with tears as she gently stroked the connecting devices that almost filled the other person's spine.

"I will heal you, Ailian. I will find a way to heal you." She leaned over and kissed the other's pale and delicate face with pity.

And Elaine Eleanor responded with a forced but sweet smile

This behavior made Jiang Bing feel that the two were too close, and their behavior had far exceeded the relationship between close friends.

Looking at the duo acting out the classic Titanic plot, Jiang Bing's face was full of suspicion, and he felt that something was 11 points wrong.

"What are you two doing?"

Chief Steward Gloria took time out of her busy schedule and was about to welcome the new colleague with her boss, but she happened to see this scene as she walked in.

However, as a native resident of Night City, she was accustomed to this kind of situation. Instead, she coughed lightly, signaling Jiang Bing not to make a fuss.

"Ailian and I are both Bi (bisexual)." Facing Jiang Bing's question, Aurora openly admitted her sexual proclivities.

But the truth was even more outrageous than Jiang Bing had imagined.

Fortunately, he had gone through so many ups and downs, and managed to use his superb muscle control to prevent himself from showing any expression.

"What are your plans, Aurora?"

"I will fulfill my promise and work for Anti-Entropy, but you have seen Ellen's physical condition, Mr. Sable. She needs rest and conservative treatment now. She will not be able to work for Anti-Entropy in the short term."

Boss Jiang smiled inscrutablely. He was so eager to recruit talented people that he was practically dying of thirst. How could he possibly allow a top talent like Ailian to lie in a life support cabin all day?

"In fact, [Anti-Entropy] now has a way to make her stand up." In the face of Aurora's incredulous expression, Jiang Bing took the pile of contracts from Gloria's hand.

"As long as you and she sign these lifetime contracts—the Employment Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Labor Contract, the Employee Code of Conduct—then treatment can be arranged immediately."

Aurora glanced at her old lover in the life support cabin, then looked at Jiang Bing's serious expression. Considering the past deeds of [Anti-Entropy], she shrugged her shoulders, took over a pile of contracts and agreements that were in some cases waste paper and in other cases death warrants, and began to examine and sign them one by one.

From today on, this desperate duo has sold themselves to [Anti-Entropy].

………………

There are two things in the world that cannot be looked at directly: one is the sun, and the other is the human heart.

The people of Night City were so rotten that it was an eyesore. Jiang Bing couldn't guess whether ordinary people could look directly at it, but he knew that there was undoubtedly no sun in the super skyscraper H10 on the east side of the Little Chinatown district.

Although it was noon outside and the sun was bright and sunny, the pigeon-cage-like building was dark and damp to the extreme.

The extremely high space utilization rate makes small apartments densely packed together like a beehive, and the low prices have led to an explosion in the number of residents living here.

Gloria, dressed in a neat entropy-increase style sportswear, walked in the corridor filled with the smell of urine. Turning around the corner full of strawberry towers, she felt as if she were in another world.

Once upon a time, she was also one of the countless people in this building, struggling in the torrent of the turbulent world.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the man beside her who had changed her destiny.

Jiang Bing was observing with great interest the man who was wandering around in the corner like a zombie, his pants half pulled down to his knees, revealing his big white butt, and he was wearing an authentic West Coast style outfit.

He traveled around various alien worlds all day long, and when he came back he would stay in the Bad Land and hammer and bang. When he went to Night City, he would interact with all kinds of people and talk about things. It had been a long time since he could calm down and relax and feel the authentic decadent atmosphere of Night City.

Smelling the fishy and foul odor, bearing the malicious gazes cast from all over the corridor, looking at the drug addicts everywhere, and then admiring a few sticky, various models of aircraft cups, Jiang Bing even felt a little sad.

Mm~ That’s the taste, so authentic!

Chapter 320 Second Amendment

However, the two of them had finally come out, so naturally they didn't come here to reminisce about the good and bad times or feel sad about the passing of time.

Not to mention that Gloria earns thousands of euros every minute, and has to take charge of most of the paperwork for [Anti-Entropy], and is busy all day like a prime minister. Jiang Bing alone has to run back and forth in the heavens while the [Key] is on cooldown, transporting goods and exchanging what he needs.

Both of them are very busy people, so naturally they don't have time to come here and complain.

The two of them came to inspect the work today.

Of course, there is also the idea of ​​taking a break from busy work.

As the deputy director of organic meat sales for Anti-Entropy in Night City, Rebecca is in charge of several people after her promotion, and her business is spread throughout Night City.

To facilitate delivery, she dispersed her warehouses from her remote home in Long Beach North to locations throughout Night City.

Little Chinatown, located south of Watson, is one of those warehouses.

To the south of this district is the downtown area of ​​Night City, which is also the area with the largest number of organic meat consumers.

The warehouse is located next to the elevated entrance of the cross-sea bridge, which is very convenient for transportation.

As for why not rent a place directly in the city center, the answer is very simple.

expensive.

For a super skyscraper like this, the average monthly rent is only a few hundred euros, and you can rent a fairly spacious place for a few thousand euros per month.

The mixed and diverse residents provide good hiding conditions and convenience for smuggling business.

After all, people come and go all day long, and few people pay attention to the figures carrying incubators in and out.

Moreover, having learned from the experience of previous attacks, in addition to the transport personnel and delivery personnel, there are several security personnel stationed in the warehouse at all times on standby, and the warehouse is fully equipped with various security equipment from Kangtao, Arasaka, Military Science, and Zeta Technology.

But even so, the organic meat warehouses scattered across Night City are often robbed and attacked.

Sometimes it's drug addicts who are short of money to buy goods and accidentally discover the secret and take risks; sometimes it's street thugs who have planned it in advance; sometimes it's fringe walkers who are not sure whether they are hired by competitors or want to make a quick buck; sometimes it's simply street thugs who have nothing to do all day and are thinking about making money. Of course, there are also the greedy NCPD, buyers who want to save costs, and gang members from various areas who can't control their hands and want to make a fortune.

Thanks to the excellent treatment, ruthless style, and reliable personnel selection method of [Anti-Entropy], there has been no case of embezzlement so far, but the above situations are endless and will cause casualties from time to time.

Fortunately, from top to bottom, except for the boss Jiang Bing, no one else thought there was anything wrong with this.

If you do business in Night City, you have to get used to the business atmosphere here.

Rebecca's warehouse is located in the atrium of a skyscraper, between a gun store and an open-air fight club.

The little girl had been waiting near the warehouse early, but the big boss and the second boss were obviously not really there to inspect the work. It seemed more like they were looking for an excuse to go shopping.

The two of them just took a quick tour of the small warehouse and then went back into the building to stroll around.

Rebecca, who came from Taiping State, could only return in silence.

Rebecca: "I'm also part of your play, right?"

After turning two corners, the two wanted to go to the small market next door to check it out, but Jiang Bing found a gun shop halfway.

'Second Amendment'

"What a weird name for this store," Gloria exclaimed.

Jiang Bing's expression changed slightly. He remembered that when he was playing shooting with Captain Sherman of the Sixth Street Gang, he had won a finely calibrated pistol from the other party, which was made by the boss of this company.

"Let's go in and take a look."

In Night City, young couples visit gun stores as naturally as they visit supermarkets. Many gun stores even have advertisements like "If you love him, buy him a gun."

In a sense, given the security situation in Night City, this is not wrong.

The gun shop is not big and the decoration is very simple.

A slightly plump middle-aged man was standing at the sales window. Seeing the customers coming, he greeted the two of them enthusiastically.

"Welcome to 'Second Amendment'. I have good stuff here. Who of you is planning to buy a gun?"

"Compared to buying things, I'm more curious about the name of your store, boss." Gloria asked curiously.

"Haha, you're not the first one to ask this question." This question somewhat touched the boss's sore spot.

"The Second Amendment is part of the United States Bill of Rights, enacted on December 15, 1791."

"The Second Amendment protects the American people's right to keep and bear arms. This right is sacred and inviolable. Neither the federal government nor the state government nor the local government can interfere with the legal right of citizens to bear arms." The other party said these words solemnly, as if he was taking an oath.

Gloria suddenly understood. "Boss, you put a lot of thought into this, but it's really profound."

Jiang Bing was examining the numerous guns on the wall, appraising them one by one. Although he had never used one before, with his current eyesight, he could tell whether these guns were good or not with just a glance.

You know what, the other party’s craftsmanship is really quite good.

The store was empty and it looked like business was slow.

"Nice workmanship, boss! I once won a gun you modified from Captain Sherman of the Sixth Street Gang. It felt really good."

When the fat boss heard Jiang Bing say this, his eyes narrowed with laughter.

"I spent a lot of effort modifying the gun for Captain Sherman, but a sword is a hero, and my friend, you are a connoisseur. What do you think? If you like it, I will give you a discount."

"I haven't used a gun in a long time."

"Then you can pick one for this lady. After all, in Night City, you need to have something to protect yourself."

As the chief steward, Gloria usually never leaves the house and has no chance to go to the battlefield, but she still has a weapon on her.

Few residents of Night City are unarmed.

"No need, boss. I already have one." Gloria said, taking out a delicate and small jade chime from her waist and showing it to the shop owner.

This was a gift Jiang Bing had given her before, and she has been carrying it with her until now.

"Wow, this gun is really well modified." The shop owner was obviously a connoisseur. Just by looking at the dark appearance, he could tell that the gun had been modified by a master.

This undoubtedly made him very itchy.

"My name is Wilson. What are your names?"

"Just call me Gloria." The chief steward had been in a cage for a long time and was now back to nature, so he was in high spirits.

"Ms. Gloria, I have a humble request. Could you please let me see the gun in your hand?"

Chapter 321 True Water, Vending Machine

The chief steward was no ordinary person. She could tell at a glance that the other party was very eager to learn the modification technology of the firearms in her hands.

Looking at Jiang Bing who was turning his head to admire the various weapons displayed on the wall, she felt a faint sense of showing off in her heart for some reason. In addition, she was in a very good mood at the moment, so she readily pushed the gun to him.

Seeing that the customers were so happy, Wilson pushed open the locked iron door and motioned for the two to come in.

"Let's go to the shooting range and fire a few rounds. What can we tell by just standing here and watching? Actual combat is the only way to test the quality of a weapon."

As a gun store, "Second Amendment" is often deserted and quiet all day long, but it is still equipped with a shooting range. After all, customers who come to buy guns will inevitably need to test shoot. What's more, a large part of Wilson's sales comes from gun modifications, which requires actual combat to test the quality of the products.

After just a few shots, Wilson knew he had encountered a true god.

"Hey, this gun is really amazing. The dynamic counterweight is perfect, and the trigger force is so damn good. It feels so good, just like touching a woman's vagina..." Wilson was so amazed that he almost swore. It was not until he saw Gloria beside him that he suddenly woke up and swallowed the rest of his words back into his stomach.

"Ms. Gloria, who modified this gun? Lucas Hawke, the 'Rifled Hand' from Ventura Street? Or the 'Baroque Trigger' from the Long Beach stockyards?"

"However, although the modification skills of these two masters who specialize in modifying pistols are strong, I always feel that they cannot achieve this kind of overall harmony." Wilson is an out-and-out technical man. He always has a solemn obsession with this kind of craft, and he is very knowledgeable when it comes to industry information.

"A friend gave it to me." Gloria would not casually reveal Jiang Bing's privacy. She took back the pistol and repeatedly pulled the trigger at the target opposite, enjoying the shooting.

Without the pressure of survival and having to rush around all day, she suddenly realized the essential joy of shooting and became extremely enthusiastic about it.

She was in high spirits and asked Wilson to bring out all his weapons so that they could practice their marksmanship.

Jiang Bing walked around the store and saw that Gloria was in high spirits, so he left the super skyscraper and prepared to find a place to buy some drinks.

You have to know that shooting is an extremely physically demanding sport, and most people will feel dry mouth and tongue after shooting for a few minutes.

Vending machines, as a small snack to decorate the city, are placed all over the streets and alleys of Night City by the companies behind them.

The items sold in various types of vending machines are also varied and dazzling.

From various drinks, to various vacuum-packed foods, to daily necessities such as condoms, chewing gum, and cigarettes, and even disposable plastic pistol automatic slaughtering machines produced by Affordable Firepower, all can be purchased in the machine.

The Automatic Slaughterer gun costs not much more than a can of Coca-Cola. It's prone to jamming and malfunctioning, its plastic body even softens in the sun, and it only has a single magazine of ammunition. However, its advantages outweigh its disadvantages: it's cheap and deadly.

The latter is crucial.

In some cheap apartments, landlords will even install vending machines directly in the house, or you can take the initiative to ask these companies to install vending machines in your room, bedroom, or even bathroom.

In order to increase the profit margins of their vending machines, some marketing geniuses have come up with many tricks. Some have even added "special services" to the vending machines. As long as you pay and press a button, in a few minutes, a sex doll with big breasts and a big butt will come to your door to provide service, swaying its waist, realizing the self-service ordering of the new era. By pressing another button, you can also summon edge walkers, errand boys and other door-to-door services.

There are even illegal vending machines that sell various black Mewtwo, as well as "Shining", "Black Lace" and "Swan", which are distributed in hidden corners like 24-hour unmanned adult product stores.

Of course, the main difference between the two is that this type of vending machine is equipped with lethal weapons and has powerful firepower.

Of course, apart from the ingenious and eye-catching "little ideas" mentioned above, there are also companies that are prepared to take the right path and improve the market competitiveness of each self-service vending machine.

For example, there is a vending machine SCSM (Smart Cybernetic System Module) equipped with artificial intelligence that can attract customers, promote products, and chat with customers.

Commonly known as autonomous responsive robot.
