The Creators: From Night City

David pondered Jiang Bing's words as he drove the Mackinaw Larimore into the street where Old Logan, David, and Jiang Bing's houses were located.

He also had to show Lucy around his house.

………………

As the head of the biotechnology food business, Will Case naturally would not live in a protein factory like those low-level workers. He was not in Night City for nearly half of the year. Even when he was in Night City, he lived in a high-end apartment near the city center. If there was really a job to go to the Badlands to eat sand, it would be his trusted subordinates who would do it, and he would not be needed.

His main job is to build good relationships with celebrities and politicians, attend various luxurious dinners, and complete exchanges of interests that ordinary people would not even dare to think of while drinking.

He spends the whole day flying high in a hovercraft, which ordinary people have no chance to see.

In the exclusive dressing room.

The graceful maid took care of his appearance carefully, and the built-in behavioral chip allowed her to know everything from hairstyle and makeup to clothing matching.

Will closed his eyes slightly and lay on the nursing bed, enjoying the other person's soft and advanced bionic fingers gently massaging his scalp.

After the massage, his hair needs to be cleaned, trimmed, and then styled with special hair wax.

After all, this thick natural hair is Will's favorite. Every time he attends an important occasion, he spends a lot of time taking care of it.

The female secretary beside him was reporting the backlog of work to him in a soft voice.

"Manager, the two new production lines at the protein farm have been installed and are expected to be officially operational in three days."

"Well, how is the recruitment of relevant workers going?"

"As of half an hour ago, according to feedback from the Human Resources Department, we are still short of one-third of the staff."

"Huh?!" Will opened his eyes and glanced at the secretary beside him.

The secretary didn't dare to neglect the matter and hurriedly explained, "Reports show that a company called [Anti-Entropy] that recently appeared in Coronado Ranch has attracted most of the unemployed workers with salaries that are higher than the market price. The rest are just waiting and watching."

"Hasn't Nora Wendel already given this small company a warning?"

The secretary looked embarrassed, but still told the truth, "She was confirmed dead the day before yesterday at the Phoenix Club in Kabuki District. She was shot in the head."

"Was it done by [Anti-Entropy]?" The supervisor was silent for a few seconds, but he was not surprised. He had seen too many such things.

The secretary nodded in response, "The report issued by the intelligence department shows that there is an 89% probability that it was [Anti-Entropy]'s fault, and an 11% probability that Nora Wendel caused the trouble herself."

The servant gently helped Will up and used a hair dryer to dry the water stains on his hair.

"What's the origin of this [Anti-Entropy]?"

"Reports indicate that it suddenly appeared in Night City two months ago. Its main business is smuggling organic meat. The company is based in the Badlands, but they've done a very good job of keeping it secret, so we haven't been able to obtain any relevant intelligence yet."

"The organic food they sell is of relatively high quality and does not conflict with our current synthetic meat business for the time being," the secretary added.

"You're really a newborn calf who's not afraid of a tiger." Will chuckled twice and gave orders with a sarcastic look on his face.

"The protein factory's production schedule cannot be delayed. Have the Human Resources Department pay closer attention to worker recruitment. Also, have the intelligence department thoroughly investigate this [Anti-Entropy]."

"Also, since Nora Wendel is dead, we should find a suitable middleman and allocate the corresponding resources to him."

The secretary nodded in agreement.

"I'll talk to Mayor Ryan about them at the banquet later. I'm sure he'll be interested in the fact that someone dared to smuggle organic meat in Night City."

The servant had already styled his hair and began to choose the most suitable outfit for him from the clothes on the wall.

The secretary continued her report: "The intelligence department has already issued an investigation report on the storm in Taiping Prefecture."

This matter obviously weighed more heavily on Will's mind. He immediately asked, "Was it man-made?"

"The probability of human error is only 6%. Headquarters' intelligence department retrieved satellite surveillance of the nearby waters before and after the incident and found no aircraft or offshore platforms capable of carrying weather control equipment."

As for the seabed, it is basically not taken into consideration.

Chapter 107 [Principles]

Apart from the International Electronics Corporation, which has the ability to form a deep-sea submarine transport team, other forces have no way to deploy equipment on the seabed.

The massive quantities of self-reproducing nano-torpedoes and the myriad of autonomous deep-sea combat machines launched into the ocean during previous corporate wars will teach anything that dares to venture into the sea why flowers are so red.

Arasaka's aircraft carrier Kujira, which was parked in the port of Night City, could only travel cautiously when passing through the former major deep-sea war zone.

"Well, what about the probability of threatening the protein farm?"

This made Will so concerned. The protein farm was just south of Taiping Island and also close to the sea. If there was another similar hurricane and it did not land on Taiping Island but landed on the protein farm instead, his job as a supervisor would be over.

The secretary clearly understood and immediately responded, "Almost zero. Intelligence has already assessed that the threat posed by the Badlands Dust Storm is even higher."

Seeing that the boss didn't say anything, the secretary quickly continued to report.

"Last month, the production capacity of the protein farm's thirteen production lines increased by 3.2% year-on-year. The number of sudden deaths among employees increased by 17%. The logistics support department requested that all production workshops be fully equipped with emergency equipment, including AEDs."

"Rejected." The supervisor didn't even consider it.

"At least half of this money will go into their pockets."

The secretary had expected this and was not surprised.

"Two cyber psychopaths attacked people in the farm apartment area. Both were killed by the company's stationed armed forces."

"What about the casualties?"

“It has not affected production.”

The servant put on the supervisor's seventh suit, and he was obviously very satisfied with it, so the servant began to choose a matching tie.

"Well, is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

The beautiful secretary had done her homework early and opened another interface on the data pad in her hand.

"The drug research and development and production department has successfully controlled the proliferation of generic immunosuppressants on the market. Headquarters has only verbally held them accountable for this matter, and Director Edward Sina's status appears to have remained unaffected."

Will Case couldn't help but sigh when he heard that his old rival was safe and sound.

"He's quite willing to spend money. It seems he's been sending a lot of money up."

"Is there any new progress with the trauma team?"

There is no answer to this sensitive question on the data board, and there cannot be an answer.

The secretary knew the answer. "There hasn't been any new activity from the Richardson Life Laboratory team lately."

"First-Class Researcher William Welch didn't send back any useful information either."

Will sent the servants away, expressing his extraordinary concern for the matter. "Tomorrow, you will go to the trauma team in person and meet him privately on my behalf to see if Nora Wendel's death has affected the progress of his project and whether he needs any help."

The secretary nodded, but was still very confused.

"Director, we are not in the same department as him. Why do you value his research project so much?"

"It's not that his research project is important, but his project is currently progressing the fastest. Whether he gets the promotion qualification isn't important, but preventing someone from getting the qualification is important."

The supervisor was implying something, and the secretary understood, "Okay, supervisor, I understand."

Will adjusted his expensive leather belt, reached out and slapped his secretary on the butt, and walked toward the tarmac.

The secretary moaned softly and followed behind him obediently.

A black and yellow hovercraft was parked on the tarmac, with three leaf-shaped company logos indicating the force to which the hovercraft belonged.

The two got into the luxuriously decorated car. The intelligent driving system automatically controlled the hovercraft to slowly rise into the air and fly along the predetermined route to the Golden Beach Yacht Marina in the northwest, where a private party for high-end people in Night City was being held.

Inside the floating car, the beautiful secretary had already thrown away the data tablet and sat astride her boss, ready to do what they both loved most in the car.

Soon, the hovercraft began to shake slightly. Fortunately, the intelligent driving system quickly adjusted the built-in gyroscope parameters to prevent the slight shaking from affecting the flight posture.

The hovercraft floated between the high-rise buildings, colorful neon spotlights sweeping the dark sky, and below the car was a valley area as bright as day.

It's like walking in the human world.

The viewing window of the hovercraft was suddenly opened, and the secretary's beautiful face and plump breasts were suddenly pressed against the window, and were squeezed and deformed mercilessly.

Not far across from the viewing window is Night City’s landmark building, Arasaka Tower.

Will Case always gets more excited when he looks at this building that represents supreme power.

As a result, the swing amplitude of the hovercraft increased by 2.3 degrees to the left and right.

And under the influence of the ever-increasing turbulent airflow at high altitudes, the situation is tending to intensify.

But it is still within the control range of the intelligent control system.

The rooftop of the super skyscraper H3.

The air currents at high altitudes blew the cloak of [Power-Wind Lord], making a rustling sound.

Jiang Bing leaned on a giant sword that was about 1.8 meters long with one hand, gazing at the yellow and black hovercraft in the night sky. The iconic logo of Biotechnology was very eye-catching.

"finally come"

Jiang Bing, wearing armor, was like an experienced hunter, looking at the target he was about to hunt with a calm heart.

As one of the highest-ranking managers of biotechnology in Night City, Will Case is surrounded by extremely tight security. To launch a head-on assassination, he would first have to face a platoon of fully armed guards, as well as nearly a hundred standing guards ready for support at any time, in addition to the entire city's NCPD.

Likewise, his itinerary is top secret.

However, with so many people around, this one is much easier to get than the former one.

These are the original words of the middleman queen Roger.

This person naturally cannot stop Jiang Bing, but a frontal attack will undoubtedly expose [Anti-Entropy] to the eyes of major companies in advance, which is something Jiang Bing cannot accept.

So tonight is one of the best times to carry out the assassination.

The party that Will Case attended this time was of a very high-end level, with a unique theme and great emphasis on privacy.

In addition, the organizer's security personnel had already surrounded the dock, so safety was a given.

So Will Case followed the theme of the party and only brought his trusted secretary with him.

The altitude of the hovercraft's flight path means that when it flies over Night City, ordinary weapons cannot reach it at all. The thick body armor maximizes its bulletproof performance, and normal electromagnetic sniper rifles find it difficult to penetrate it.

The jamming module required for each vehicle makes it difficult for automatic tracking guided weapons to hit the target on the first launch, but as long as time is given, the vehicle's intelligent driving system can land the hovercraft in a safe area in a short time.

According to common sense, this trip is naturally safe and worry-free.

But you can always trust the ability of the 'craftsman'.

[Principle] - Giant Plasma Superconducting Sawtooth Cutting Sword

This powerful weapon, which is held at his side and is powerful enough to destroy cities and capture strongholds, is Jiang Bing's latest work.

Chapter 108 Cyber ​​Version of Assassin's Creed

Its principle is the same as that of the [Cutter (Prototype)], except that the weapon's size has been magnified dozens of times, and the energy supply circuit has been specially strengthened to support more powerful instantaneous energy output, which can greatly increase the temperature of the plasma.

The energy is supplied by the 'divine seal fragment', but because Jiang Bing was not sure about its safety, he suddenly had the idea of ​​using his own blood as the energy conductor.

Facts have proved that what I thought of as a 'craftsman' was not groundless. Blood is very suitable for use as an energy conductor. The 'divine seal fragments' soaked in it can only be squeezed out obediently, with no room for resistance.

However, in order to facilitate the monitoring of the "divine seal fragments" at any time, Jiang Bing made the sword guard and sword jaw where the fragments were placed into transparent visible windows.

The blood dyed the transparent window mixed with cubic boron nitride blood red, like a huge ruby, but the "divine seal fragments" soaked inside provided it with a lot of mysterious appearance style.

At this point, Jiang Bing had cast a weapon that was 12 cm wide, 160 cm long, 20 cm long, weighed 47.25 kg, had unlimited energy, and theoretically, could reach a peak temperature of 6000°C.

Just like its name, holding it is equivalent to holding the principles of everyone.

As his strength grew, Jiang Bing's ability to control airflow became more sophisticated and powerful.

Accompanied by the whistling sound of the high-speed air flowing through the hole, [Power - Wind Lord] soared into the sky, like a peregrine falcon ready to hunt, rushing towards the endless night sky.

Will Case was still busy with his own work.

The pitch-black armor merged into the pitch-black night. The violent air currents in the sky embraced its owner, surrounding and lifting Jiang Bing to fly high into the sky, to a wider land.

From both visual and mental perspectives, the black and yellow hovercraft was still floating slowly between the buildings, completely unaware that it had been targeted by the deadly hunter overhead.

Finally, after reaching the predetermined height, the air currents in the holes of [Power-Wind Lord] stopped gushing out one after another. Without the thrust of the air currents, gravity once again embraced the armor.

Jiang Bing began to fall rapidly.

And this is exactly what he wants.

The cloak was opened, and the carefully designed structure allowed Jiang Bing to glide towards the target hundreds of meters away like a wingless bird that had long been extinct in Night City.

Will Case was still busy.

Although it was in gliding state, under Jiang Bing's intentional control, the flying speed of [Power-Wind Lord] was getting faster and faster.
