The Creators: From Night City

For example, Arasaka, such as the Arasaka Riot13 light urban armored vehicle, the Arasaka "Bear" light troop armored vehicle, and the Arasaka Combat10 heavy assault armored vehicle.

Of course, Night City is not his place to have the final say. Soon, the mouthpieces of military technology began to clamor. They also agreed to change equipment and introduce external technical support, but their demands were like lice on a bald head - it was obvious that they wanted military technology's magic lizards, military technology's defender heavy armored vehicles, military technology's pterosaur urban assault armored vehicles, and military technology's overall military construction guidance.

By this point, it's become clear that this is nothing more than a routine confrontation between two sworn enemies trying to infiltrate every aspect of Night City.

But no one knew that Mayor Lucius's attack had unexpectedly hit the mark, making the blue-eyed mastermind behind the scenes almost jump in anxiety.

Although Mr. Blue Eyes hesitated and was unclear in his words when talking about this part, Jiang Bing was very smart and he could see that there was something fishy at a glance.

Mr. Blue Eyes probably secretly added a lot of water to this quick reaction force that has always been ignored and has been sent to the border wall to eat sand for many years.

Who knows, this "honor guard" that everyone thinks is too weak may have been replaced by the private soldiers raised by the Ye Group.

Although Jiang Bing didn't know what the trick was, the reality was that the fence-sitters on both sides were not anxious, but a native of Night City was anxious.

He couldn't let others see that he was anxious.

The city council members from both sides fought each other in the parliament and almost broke out into a physical fight. In the end, no one could convince the other.

So the smart man Lucius Lane turned his attention to the "Wasteland Rally".

This game will be a good excuse to convince neutral parties. What could be better than a more intuitive actual combat to test the gap in strength between the two companies?

With this excuse, he successfully persuaded Arasaka Corporation. In order to ensure victory in the competition, or at least to win the military technology, Arasaka also dispatched an elite scientific research team from its headquarters in Tokyo, Japan, with the latest high-tech achievements, to rush to Night City for assistance. The team was led by Arasaka senior researcher Yoshida.

Lucius Lane was planning to take advantage of this inside information to bet on Arasaka's team and make a large pension at the gambling table.

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone and kills two fish at once.

Although Lucius deserves to die, he cannot die now. Before he hands over the position of mayor, he is still useful to everyone. However, this does not prevent Mr. Blue Eyes from making preparations in advance.

For example, he got the evidence of his dirty deal with Arasaka, or he had some "small accidents" at this critical juncture, which caused him to be ill and had to retire early.

Jiang Bingze is the gravedigger carefully hired by Mr. Blue Eyes for the other party.

Mayor Lucius is well aware of how much he is hated, but everyone has desires, and he is no exception.

He could only choose to strengthen the security around him. After all, he had worked hard to climb to his current position, not to become a monk. His pursuit was to indulge in sensual pleasures and sing and dance.

So Jiang Bing had his group today.

A capsule-sized precision device kept moving in Jiang Bing's hand, appearing and disappearing from time to time. This "little thing" sponsored by Mr. Blue Eyes was the protagonist of today.

Smart monitoring capsule, proudly produced by BND (German Federal Intelligence Service).

This device uses the standard medical capsule size and is made of propyl methylcellulose. The HPMC simulation device integrates vibration sensors, encrypted storage, and ELF ultra-low frequency radio frequency functions.

Once swallowed, it will automatically attach to the target's stomach wall, and restore external sound waves by detecting the vibration of the stomach wall, thereby achieving the function of eavesdropping.

After the outer shell of this thing remains stable in stomach acid for 72 hours, the pH-responsive material at the back end will dissolve, releasing a cellulase degrader to melt the special internal circuit, and finally be flushed into the toilet along with the feces, destroying the body.

It can also be loaded with a small amount of medicine or poison inside, and exert different effects on the human body as the capsule dissolves.

The amorphous metal foil wrapped around its surface can shield most X-rays and metal detection, ensuring its secrecy.

Of course, compared to the stomach wall, there is a better place for it to be effective, which is the rectum, but this installation method is too disgusting, so Jiang Bing chose to refuse.

It is said, just said, that for certain high-value target groups, the BND will send handsome-looking agents who have undergone special modifications to large steel cannons, and through some negative distance contact methods, quietly install them in the target's body to achieve the purpose of monitoring.

To this, Jiang Bing could only say: "Awesome."

Chapter 399 Poor Tom

If you want to deceive someone, the first thing you need to do is to accurately find the other person's desires and pain points, find the other person's greed, and let him drive himself to move.

You can't wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, and similarly, it's hard to wake up a person who is deceiving himself.

The question is, what does Lucius Lane like?

Mr. Blue Eyes gave many answers. Apart from his personal habits such as picking his crotch and smelling his fingers after scratching his butt, the top ones are money and sex!

He is a typical vulgar person, greedy for money and lustful.

So next it was Margarita’s turn.

She was wearing a gorgeous sapphire green long dress with a top that was slit almost to her navel. Her hot and bold style was matched with three magical necklaces made of turquoise. Her elegant demeanor, coupled with the python leather handbag in her hand, made her look like a lady with great magical powers.

When such a beauty appeared in front of the mayor of Night City, how could he not be confused?

What's more, Margarita also used some other means.

At a card table in the corner, Lucius was playing the game in front of him leisurely.

This kind of pinball game is more of a recreational game than a gambling game. Because it is presided over by a machine dealer, the entire table becomes very private. While playing, he can also exchange ideas with his companions.

In the media, the incorruptible mayor casually threw a 5000 euro chip and chatted with his companions, partners, subordinates, and a few political brokers who were close to him.

"Those investors in Taiping State are looking to come back. It seems the decline of the Voodoo Gang has given them hope of making a profit."

"Mayor, you've got to be kidding. We're in Taiping Province right now, and Dog Town is a must-go. I think they're just unwilling to lose money."

"That's good. You have to hold on to the City Hall and don't make promises to them lightly..."

Before the two of them finished their conversation, Lucius suddenly became aware that someone seemed to be sitting opposite him. Before he looked up, a fragrant breeze blew towards him.

The smell is extremely unique, like a mixture of citrus and grass, which makes people want to find out who its owner is.

"Madam, this is a private bet, please..." The lackey on the side was stopped by Lucius just as he was halfway through his words.

He greedily sniffed the fragrance in the air, and felt a faint desire burning in his abdomen. After he had a clear look at the appearance of the lady opposite him, this fire seemed to be blown with oxygen and suddenly exploded.

He smoothly entered the state where the small head dominated the big head, but he didn't notice that he seemed to be the only one who could smell this scent among the people around him.

Magic perfume, or magic aphrodisiac, is something that almost all female sorcerers can make.

The first time Jiang Bing met Violetta, it was through Dandelion, an old customer of her aphrodisiac, who introduced them to each other. The students were so skilled in refining this stuff, so there was no reason why Margarita, as the dean, would not be able to do it either.

"There's an empty seat anyway, so please take a seat if you don't mind." As soon as the mayor opened his mouth, the hyenas around him understood what he meant and immediately changed the subject.

"Is this beautiful lady alone?" The good mayor restrained his expression and looked quite dignified.

"Why, single players are not allowed here?" Margarita's mature woman tone made the other party feel itchy.

"Of course not. Go ahead and place your bet."

When Margarita took out the bank card from her handbag again and asked the waiter to exchange it for chips, the mayor's eyes behind his glasses suddenly lit up.

"I'm Lucius Lane. You look unfamiliar. Are you new to Night City?"

The class barriers of the upper class were as thick as the metal door of the Federal Reserve vault, and the circle was fixed and pitifully small. Lucius could easily tell that the other party did not look like a local.

"You are such a weird person. You ask all kinds of questions as soon as you meet someone. Do you have any intentions towards me?" Margarita has a lot of experience in catching rich men, and she is also a master at playing the game of pulling.

"Mr. Lucius is the mayor of Night City. How could he have any intentions towards you? He just cares about the experience of outsiders like you in Night City." The wingman on the side quickly provided cover.

"After all, it's the mayor's responsibility to ensure Night City's public image."

"And he's a big shot." Margarita's expression remained unchanged, as if the position of mayor was nothing great in her eyes, but she still extended an olive branch and took the initiative.

After all, she is here to hook up with rich men, not to save face for others.

"Cesar Antille." Margarita glanced at the mayor with a charming expression and emphasized, "Mrs. Antille, you're right. I came to Night City to relax and it's true I haven't been here long."

'And a married woman!' A thought flashed through Lucius' mind, and his heart burned even more.

He never imagined that this was a 'sweet' trap tailored for him by Jiang Bing based on the information from Mr. Blue Eyes.

So he spoke more passionately.

One of them wanted to chat, while the other had ulterior motives. The two quickly became familiar with each other, stopped playing cards, and quickly moved the conversation to a small bar on this floor.

Sometimes Margarita seemed to be amused by the other person's words, causing a turbulent situation; sometimes she expressed her indignation towards her completely non-existent husband and her complaints about her unhappy marriage, which further solidified her character as a beautiful, wealthy, naive and innocent woman in the boudoir.

So the four bored people watched from afar as the two of them drank one glass of wine after another, and their conversation became more and more lively, until they were both drunk, and Margarita finally took action.

Telekinesis magic can easily control people's behavior and thoughts like the Witcher's Axis Sign, and the effect is even more powerful. However, if you don't want to be discovered by the person involved later, it is best not to force the other person's thoughts. Instead, you should learn to adapt to the situation and cleverly guide the other person's thoughts, or let the target fall into a state of confusion before taking action.

Coincidentally, Lucius's mind was already beginning to blur under the influence of alcohol, and what Margarita needed to do with magic was also very simple: make him drink the glass of spiked wine in one gulp.

The process was as smooth as a constipated patient using a suppository. Lucius didn't notice anything unusual and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, just like the dozens of glasses before.

After the work was done, it was Jiang Bing's turn to appear.

"Cisa, I think we should go." Jiang Bing, who played 'Mr. Wang', had a blank expression on his face, but there was a subtle scrutiny in his eyes as he looked at Lucius.

This sudden change sobered the other person up, and his originally chaotic mind became clear.

"Who is this?" Fortunately, a politician may not know anything, but he must be thick-skinned. He pretended nothing happened and greeted Jiang Bing.

"Mr. Wang Xiang." 'Madame Antille' leaned drunkenly against Jiang Bing, declaring the fact that she was already taken.

Chapter 400 Team Promotional Photos

Hearing that the visitor's name was not Antile, Lucius raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were filled with scrutiny of his fellow travelers.

Although he still maintained basic courtesy on the surface, he had already been criticizing in his heart: "Good boy, look at you with thick eyebrows and big eyes, you actually like married women."

Lucius was a man of particular tastes and he still followed the principle of first come first served. Although he was unwilling to let the opportunity fly away, he still politely exchanged some words and let Jiang Bing take 'Madam Antille' away.

The pot-bellied mayor saw the two men walking away and beckoned his bodyguard over. "Contact the person in charge of 'The Red Queen's Race,' and I'll be there in a moment. No, we have to leave now."

He was almost blinded by lust. If he didn't find a way to relieve it, he would suffer from cerebral thrombosis sooner or later.

"Okay, boss." The bodyguard lowered his voice and asked quietly, "Do you want me to check them?"

A thoughtful glint flickered in the mayor's eyes, but he quickly rejected his subordinate's proposal.

"In troubled times, it's better to have less trouble than more. Just ignore it."

………………

The sky of the evil land is like a child's face, changing at any time.

As the air quality deteriorates day by day and visibility continues to drop, experienced wanderers know that the biggest "Ha-Da wave" of the year is about to come.

Normally, the citizens of Night City hated the sandstorms, but today, the situation was completely reversed. This "Ha Da Bo" was welcomed by the general public.

All this is because the 'Wasteland Rally' has finally seen the worst weather of the year, which means the competition is finally about to begin.

At the abandoned tunnel construction site, the 54 participating teams were making intensive preparations, conducting inspections, and rehearsing the latest strategies again and again.

The "Good Again" team is undoubtedly at a disadvantage in this regard. Compared with other teams' year-long running-in of drivers and vehicles, Natalie Dubois hasn't even finished the running-in with Vincent.

In a makeshift studio.

'Steel Rose' sat on the hood of the Badlander's car, while Vincent, awkwardly dressed in a low-cut kitsch coat, leaned against her side, posing stiffly.

While the staff was taking photos, Natalie said to her new partner, "Do you know what this step is called in the industry?"

"Isn't it a promotional photo of the team?" Vincent replied.

"People new to the industry call it a bullshit publicity photo, but veteran drivers call it a 'posthumous photo shoot.'"

"A portrait?!"

"Of course." Natalie, an experienced driver, responded affirmatively.

"If something goes wrong during the game and we die accidentally, this promotional photo will be the last portrait of the two of us."

To her surprise, Vincent didn't show any fear after hearing this. Instead, he joked, "Then I have to cooperate and try to make my photos look handsome, so that my friends won't see me looking ugly when they come to pay their respects."

"Aren't you afraid? This is a job where you could get killed at any moment."

"Sh ...

Vincent, in turn, comforted Natalie, "Compared to all this, this rally is nothing."

He knocked his fist on the hood of the Wasteland Son next to him, making a dull metallic echo.

"Besides, don't you have confidence in this precious car?"

"That's not true."

To be honest, Natalie has driven a lot of good cars, but she is still amazed by the car in front of her that will accompany her on the track.

too strong.

"Did the boss ask you to do prosthetic maintenance later?"

Vincent followed the staff's instructions and improvised his mantis knife, which unexpectedly drew praise from the staff.

"Yes, I never thought that the biggest boss in our company would be a cyborg doctor."

"He's the best cyborg doctor in Night City." Vincent spoke up to correct the other party's omission.
