The Creators: From Night City

Jiang Bing walked out of the door and found an ordinary vending machine. He was going to buy two bottles of real water, but after looking around, he found that ordinary vending machines didn't sell them at all.

He looked around and, relying on his hearing, found a vending machine SCSM that looked relatively high-end and might be selling real water.

It was placed in a corner next to a super skyscraper, which was not unusual, as many vending machines were like this. But when Jiang Bing found it, it was chatting with a woman, and the conversation was very lively.

This is very rare!

"Brandon, I took your advice and moved out of that bastard's house. He's a thug. I'd rather be a sex doll again than take his money and get beaten by him all day."

"Congratulations, Du Xi, you have regained your freedom. To celebrate your escape from that man's clutches, I'll treat you to your favorite cocoa."

Jiang Bing couldn't help but stop and listen from afar as the robot named Brandon, who responded to every request, and the sex doll named Du Xi continued to talk.

"Du Qian, you have to be safe. Although I'm just an SCSM, I still hope you can be safe and come to see me more often."

Du Xi took out the small can of Coca-Cola from the shipping port, and her face was as happy as if she had received a gift from her best friend.

Jiang Bing's face was full of surprise. It was the first time he saw a robot that would proactively deliver drinks to customers. You know, these manufacturers painstakingly created these vending machines in order to sell better goods, and giving customers drinks for free obviously does not fall into this category.

"Don't say that, Brandon. We're friends, good friends. As for my safety, you don't have to worry. I've reconnected with an old friend. She joined the Mox Gang a while ago. Thanks to her, I might even be able to get some work at the Ritz Bar."

Brandon blinked his anthropomorphic eyes, which contained cameras on top, and reassured his customer, "Everything will be fine, Duqian. Don't you want to go to Denver for the annual local beer festival? Without that man's constraints, I'm sure you'll save enough money for the trip soon."

Chapter 322 Familiar Stranger

"Brandon, you actually remembered my dream. That's so thoughtful of you."

"Haha, of course, I remember everything you said."

Jiang Bing listened for a long time and finally walked forward.

"I really don't want to interrupt your friends' reunion, but I'd like to ask Brandon if you have any real water for sale."

The Request-Giving Robot turned its anthropomorphic eyes toward Jiang Bing, appearing quite agile. "Ah, a new customer. As the highest-end SCSM, of course we sell real water here at Brandon. However, it's quite expensive, so I can't offer you a discount."

"I don't need it." Jiang Bing paid the money with the data tablet and waited to pick up the items.

"Okay, friend, I'll pick it up for you right away so you don't have to wait any longer."

"Do you think it's particularly thoughtful and considerate?"

The sex doll named Du Qian blinked her specially modified heart-shaped artificial eyes and spoke to Jiang Bing.

"Of course." Jiang Bing noticed that there were bruises of varying degrees of severity on the skin exposed at the other person's collar, and the marks looked very new.

"Ding! Ding! Ding! Sir, the real water you requested is now available. Please don't forget to take it. Also, thank you very much for your appreciation."

Jiang Bing walked a long way with two bottles of quite expensive real water, and he could still hear the casual chat between a person and a machine.

They have a good relationship, like a young couple who just started dating.

The cyber world and cyber relationships are not uncommon.

Back at 'Second Amendment', Gloria has finished her gun practice and is chatting with her boss.

Gloria: "Wilson, if your business isn't doing well, you might consider taking a class."

Wilson: "Come on, I just can't stand the drudgery of those big companies. Working around the clock all year round makes you sick even if you're not sick."

"It's not like now. Even though I can't make money, I still have some freedom."

For the first time, Gloria personally handed out business cards with her own contact information.

"You can take a look. If you really can't keep it open, you can contact me."

After the two of them walked a long way, Jiang Bingcai asked, "Why, are you interested in talent?"

Gloria rolled her eyes at him. How could this hands-off boss possibly understand her daily frustrations over logistical pressures?

"Wilson is quite capable. He complained to me that business has been tough lately. I'm laying the groundwork for this; who knows, it might come in handy someday."

The two exited the H10 skyscraper and turned left from Constitution Square into Bran Street, the red-light district of Little Chinatown.

The next place to visit is Victor Victor's prosthetic clinic.

It is not really appropriate to call it an inspection. The two parties are currently in a cooperative relationship, so we can only say that we went for a visit.

The two walked along Bland Street all the way to the intersection with Bradbury Street, and saw two sex dolls in the glass window of a strip club, performing a hot and passionate pole dance in broad daylight to attract customers.

Unfortunately, the effect was not ideal. A bunch of people gathered in front of the window, but they were all freeloaders who just watched and had no intention of entering the store.

When the two of them turned into Lao Wei's underground clinic from the alley, the other party was busy working on the prosthetic modification table.

The patient's companion who came to accompany the patient for the consultation was also standing nearby.

Coincidentally, Jiang Bing knew this person, Rita Wheeler, the doorman of the Ritz Bar.

The other party saw Jiang Bing coming and greeted him excitedly, "What a coincidence, handsome guy, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Do you two know each other?" Old Wei's honest voice sounded.

"Dr. Victor, you forgot that it was he who recommended me to come to you." The hot girl from the Mox Gang laughed.

"Hey, my brain doesn't remember anything all day long. It seems I'm really old."

"Who is this?" He turned his gaze to Gloria who was standing next to Jiang Bing.

"Gloria Martinez." The chief steward introduced himself.

When she said that, Lao Wei immediately realized what was going on and joked, "So it's you. Look at the look in my eyes. We've chatted on the text message many times. So, you're here to check on the hygiene of my little clinic."

"Just stopping by to take a look..."

While Gloria and Lao Wei were chatting happily, Jiang Bing glanced at Rita Wheeler, then looked at the patient on the operating table, and asked in confusion: "Are you guys going to war with others?"

There were several bullet holes on Rita Wheeler's chitinous skin armor, and there were obvious traces of being hit by cold weapons and blunt objects on her arms. The person on the operating table was even worse off, with all the subcutaneous armor on his body penetrated. Lao Wei was busy removing the bullet from his body.

"Don't even mention it. They're all those bastard kids from the Tiger Claw Gang. They're always trying to take over the Ritz Bar and are always looking for trouble."

"Looking at the wounds on your body, they can't be explained simply by making trouble." Jiang Bing made a sharp judgment.

"Two sisters were forcibly taken away by the Tiger Claw Gang and haven't returned yet. Today we went to their house to seek an explanation, but we didn't expect these bastards to turn their backs on us and open fire."

The Mox Gang's top thug was filled with indignation. "These rubbish should have gone to hell long ago. If Susie hadn't stopped me, I would have gathered my men and crushed these pests to death."

"I agree with you. Blindly tolerating won't bring peace back. Furthermore, the geisha district and the porn industry have always been the exclusive domain of the Tiger Claw Gang. How can they allow others to sleep peacefully on their side? They are the Tiger Claw Gang, man-eating tigers, not some cat-claw gang."

Jiang Bing expressed his own views.

"In the end, it turned out like this. Have you found your people?"

When Jiang Bingyi mentioned this, Rita Wheeler became even angrier.

"No, they're nowhere to be found alive, and their bodies are nowhere to be found dead. But I suspect their end won't be good. The Tiger Claw Gang doesn't have a good reputation."

"If this happens a few more times, the foundation of the Mox Gang will soon be gone." Jiang Bing analyzed the essence of the matter to the other party.

"In my opinion, the Tiger Claw Gang did this on purpose. Someone is trying to shake the foundation of your existence."

Jiang Bing looked at the other person's furrowed brows and said, "We can barely be considered friends. Please tell Suzy Kui a message for me."

"What does Mr. Sable want to say?" Rita Wheeler was very curious.

"Peace survives when it is sought through struggle; it dies when it is sought through compromise."

Rita Wheeler's pupils suddenly dilated and her face was full of thought.

After expressing his opinion, Jiang Bing chatted with Lao Wei for a while and watched his operation. The two of them took this operation as a starting point and talked about many issues related to prosthetic modification. Except for the patient on the operating table who was a little nervous, both the host and the guest had a great time.

After they walked out of the red light district where Lao Wei's clinic was located and were strolling towards their next stop, the afterlife, Gloria spoke.

"Boss, you have ideas about the Mox Gang."

"Of course." Jiang Bing said frankly.

Chapter 323: Liz Tragedy Reappears

"We've already established ourselves in the Badlands and Pacific State, and the northeastern part of Coronado Ranch is basically under the control of Anti-Entropy. But don't you think these places are too remote?"

Jiang Bing didn't even turn his head, looking at the bustling Bradbury Street, his eyes full of rationality and calmness.

"The Tiger Claws occupy one of the most lucrative areas of the city, and the Mox Gang, being weak and without the backing of a major corporation, presents a perfect entry point. While their territory may not be large, they can be driven like a nail into the Kabuki District, into the heart of the Tiger Claws."

"Boss, are you planning to unify the gangs in Night City?" Gloria had long been curious about Jiang Bing's true thoughts.

"This is inevitable, it's just a matter of sooner or later." Jiang Bing casually said something that anyone who heard it would think was arrogant.

"So our idea is to unify Night City?" The chief supervisor asked stealthily, raising the doubt that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

"This is just a phased goal, not a concept."

"So what exactly is the philosophy of our organization, Boss? It's definitely not about pursuing profits and becoming a capital giant."

Gloria said this with great confidence. After all, she had handled all the data of [Anti-Entropy] and was in a position of general manager who was in charge of passing down information. All major decisions of the company were broken down by Jiang Bing through her and passed down. Because of this, she was also the person who knew the current situation of [Anti-Entropy] best.

【Anti-Entropy】has not been a company that is purely for the pursuit of profit since its inception.

Compared with many capitalist companies such as Arasaka, Military Technology, and Biotechnology, it is more like a charity.

Others may not know what raw materials the "Hao Zailai" factory uses, but she knows it very clearly.

She was in charge of employee benefits, salaries, promotion mechanisms, including the company cafeteria and the update of the material exchange list that was given away almost for free to the homeless.

It is certain that they can make money, but Gloria knows very well that [Anti-Entropy] does not pursue profits.

'Anti-entropy' Jiang Bing shouted out the words that Gloria had long been accustomed to.

He stopped, turned his head and looked down at Gloria who was standing side by side with him. He showed no joy or sadness, but there was an indescribable solemnity and solemnity between his eyebrows.

'Anti-entropy!' he said emphatically.

"Gloria, the idea has always been on our lips, written on the wall, and in plain sight."

"Reverse entropy?" Gloria muttered this physics term, which, to be honest, was quite difficult to understand.

Jiang Bing took another step forward, but he began to explain the underlying concept of this word to the person walking side by side with him.

"According to the second law of thermodynamics, the entropy of an isolated system always tends to increase, that is, the system will develop in the direction of greater chaos and disorder."

"And anti-entropy," Jiang Bing continued walking forward as Gloria's eyes widened, "is another process that goes in the opposite direction of this trend. It involves the input of external energy, transforming the system from a disordered state into an ordered state."

"Anti-entropy?" Gloria murmured again.

"Anti-entropy!" Jiang Bing answered affirmatively.

From then on, the two of them did not speak for a long time, just walking forward quietly.

It wasn't until they turned the corner and saw the Afterlife Bar in the distance that Gloria spoke again, but the topic changed and she was talking about the Mox Gang again.

"I've heard about the history of the Mox Gang. It's only a matter of time before something happens to them, Boss."

"Anyone with a bit of common sense knows that the gangs at the bottom of Night City society are a reflection of the political power at the top. These gangs made up of women and minorities are no match for the Tiger Claws."

Gloria, the middleman, has experienced this period of time and has gained insight into the ecological nature of Night City.

"They are not ruthless enough, nor are they decisive enough. They do not have the support of major forces, and they are hesitant in doing things. They are content with a small fortune and even have a short-sighted vision."

"Those without permanent property have no permanent heart, Gloria. We can't ask too much of these poor people who beg for a living."

"Boss, if you have any ideas, you'd better get them out as soon as possible. The Tiger Claw Gang has been in turmoil lately. People in the inner circle are speculating that there might be a change in the leadership of the Tiger Claw Gang. Don't let this overturn the Mox Gang."

"Doctors Don't Knock on Doors (Chinese)"

Jiang Bing used only four words to control Gloria and her high-tech language translator for more than ten seconds.

After she understood the meaning behind it, she fully agreed with Jiang Bing's statement.

"After visiting Rogge, where are we going next?"

"We're already here. Let's go to Tom's Restaurant. It's just two blocks away."

Jiang Bing naturally follows good advice.

………………

Time flies like a white horse, and is as fleeting as white clouds and white dogs.

Four days later.

Gloria walked into Jiang Bing's workshop and found Jiang Bing busy in the workshop.

"Boss, the patient is knocking on the door."

2 minute later.
