2077: V really knows how awesome he is

So, the old captain looked at the chip in his hand—should he forget the hatred?

He knew it would be easy to forget, but he just couldn't forget it no matter what he did.

Just like how he has seen the scenery here for forty years and never gets tired of it.

Santo Domingo, that was his home.

"Damn, being a man is fucking tough!" the old captain suddenly yelled, putting the chip back into his pocket and cursing, "A real man goes all the way, fuck the biotechnology, fuck the company, if that V dares to show her face in front of me again, I'll shoot her dead!"

Then his face turned green because he saw Delaman's taxi slowly drive back.

Roll down the car window, and V's profile was revealed once again.

"I think I just heard you calling my name?"

"No, no!" The pragmatic old captain, a man of flexibility and adaptability, asked with a forced smile, "You've come back...?"

“I forgot to mention something. I have another commission to handle.” V added, “Don’t worry, it’s a personal matter and has nothing to do with the company.”

Since it was not a company he was dealing with, there was nothing to fear, and the old captain felt much more relaxed: "Please speak."

"I want to improve my hacking skills. Can you help me find a reliable teacher?"

The old captain asked curiously, "The hacker world of Arasaka is famous, why don't you go to them?"

"You're the best hacker when nobody knows you're a hacker, understand?"

"Understood." The old captain wasn't stupid; he knew it would be impolite to ask any more questions, so he began to discuss the specifics of the commission.

"I do have a few candidates in mind. What are your requirements?"

"No company background allowed."

"Look at what you're saying." The old captain blinked. "Even if I work for a company, I can't get him to come."

"The rest is just to keep your mouth shut, not to talk too much, not to have too complicated interpersonal relationships, and not to have too high technical skills."

The old captain was taken aback: "The skills don't need to be too high? Shouldn't the teacher be as skilled as possible?"

"No need. I only seek out a teacher to learn 'learning methods.' As long as I understand the principles, that's enough. I can compile advanced programs and puppets myself."

That's awesome?

No wonder they work in companies; perhaps this is the difference between elites and ordinary people.

The old captain gave a heartfelt thumbs-up: "Awesome, Miss V."

"So, can you handle this order?"

"Of course, I already have someone in mind. Shall I have her contact you directly?"

"Yes, just contact me directly, this is my number."

V sent his number to the old captain, and then gave him an authorization code.

The old captain was completely bewildered: "What's this?"

“The key to container number 23,” V replied. “Personal medical pods not only require energy, but also a matching repair fluid. Judging by the time, the repair fluid that comes with the medical pod should be almost used up. Container number 23 contains the repair fluid that Arasaka Corporation purchased together with the personal medical pod. By the way, if you're going to steal, steal the whole thing. What's the point of just stealing the machine and not the repair fluid? Next time, read the instruction manual carefully before you act!”

The old captain stood there, mouth agape, stunned.

"Just consider it payment for hiring a teacher."

By the time the old captain came to his senses, V was already gone.

"Damn, I owe this person a huge favor."

The old captain muttered to himself as he dialed the phone: "Hey, Juliet, we got the key, really, I'm not kidding you! We don't have to risk lives anymore, your sister Rose will get better, Seth's father will get better, and we'll all get better!"

"You're asking where I got this stuff? Uh, a company dog ​​gave it to me."

"Yes, yes, I know company employees can't be trusted, but we have no other choice, do we?"

"Don't worry, it's probably not a trap. He's just a different kind of corporate dog."

"Why is it different?"

"Well, although she's just like all corporate dogs—arrogant, unapproachable, domineering, and demanding—she... has a street-style vibe, a really edgy one."

Chapter 7 Pink Cat

Working and studying, V suffers from severe "fear of insufficient firepower," and she seizes every opportunity to strengthen herself.

For example, right now, she got a Comtasia smart security robot from the security department, disabled the other party's counterattack program, and began trying to crack the other party's subnet.

No amount of theoretical knowledge can compare to practical experience. V herself grew through countless life-or-death battles. Although there's a slight difference between burning someone's head with a puppet and smashing someone's head with a baseball bat, the difference is minimal. V is a traditionalist; she firmly believes that practice makes perfect.

As his eyes glowed blue, V began hacking into the security robot.

The robot tilted its square head and looked in V's direction, but its counterattack program was turned off, so it could only look, as if to say, "What are you doing?"

The intelligent robot industry was first started by Arasaka, but the Chinese company Kangtao later surpassed it, not only breaking Arasaka's technological monopoly, but also innovating. By around 2070, Kangtao had completely defeated Arasaka and completely monopolized the robot industry. Now all the robots used by companies are made by Kangtao, even Arasaka.

It's somewhat ironic.

Well done!

V curled the corners of her mouth and silently gave Kang Tao a thumbs up.

If there were a ranking of the people who hate Arasaka the most, the top 100 would definitely be Arasaka employees.

Only those who have actually worked in Arasaka can truly understand how cruel Arasaka is.

It's like only when you've actually eaten shit can you truly understand how stinky it is.

Damn, I feel like throwing up.

V didn't know why he was disgusted with himself, but in a moment of distraction, the data matrix vanished amidst the alarm, and red exclamation marks instantly filled his entire retina. Before the countdown ended, V failed to breach the security robot's subnet, and the intrusion failed.

"Damn, Chinese-made stuff is fucking sturdy!"

V's initial admiration for Kang Tao vanished, and he couldn't stand the sight of the "Kang Tao" logo on the security robot.

Enraged, she was about to kick the metal lump when a knock came at the door.

"V Deputy Minister, this is Carter."

V quickly sat back down at his desk, put on sunglasses, crossed his hands and rested them on his chin, striking a mysterious pose.

It's not that she has an idol image to maintain; it's just that bullying Carter is one of the few sources of happiness she has now.

"Come in."

Click, the automatic door opens.

The young man walked in looking awkward, and even though he was wearing a company suit, he still looked as simple and honest as a boy.

V's stern face was incredibly intimidating, and Carter trembled like a puppy entering a wolf's den.

"I...I've come to return the hovercar."

V nodded, but Carter did not leave after returning the permissions.

"What else?"

Carter carefully took out a small paper bag: "My mom asked me to thank you on her behalf. These are cookies she baked herself."

The office fell silent.

V remained silent, while Carter was sweating profusely with nervousness.

"Is the report finished?"

"Uh, not yet..."

"If you haven't finished, hurry up and do it! Did the company hire you to slack off?!"

"Oh, yes! I'll go right away, I'm so sorry."

Carter was startled. The company was indeed as rigid and serious as ever. The approachable Vice President V from yesterday must have just been my imagination.

He shrank back and turned to leave like a stray dog, but V called him back just before he reached the door.

"Hey."

Carter immediately stopped and said, "Yes, sir!"

"Leave the cookies."

Carter's eyes widened; he didn't even know how he got out of the office.

Vice Minister V actually accepted the gift; yesterday's experience was indeed not an illusion!

Mom is right. If you treat others kindly, they will definitely reciprocate!

That's great! That's great! I will work even harder, for my mom, for my older sister, and for Vice Minister V!

Carter rallied, brimming with energy once more. He roared and charged toward his workstation in the hallway, as if rushing toward his dreamland.

Colleagues glanced at him sideways.

"It's so good to be young."

"Who can argue with that? This is the first time the Counterintelligence Department has been this lively. If Jenkins were here, I wouldn't even dare to imagine it."

"Shh, be quiet."

"Yes, yes, don't talk about your boss, don't talk about your boss."

Counterintelligence has quieted down again. V has made some changes, but it's not enough, far from enough.

The only sound in the corridor was Carter typing on the holographic keyboard.

But soon another voice emerged.

"Da da da……"

Crisp and lively.

Carter turned around at the sound and saw a young girl.

The girl had short brown hair, pink eyeshadow on her eyes, and pink lips. She wore a black and white bodysuit with a pink cropped jacket. She was slender and short, like... a petite cat.

"Great, I finally found someone." The girl breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and said to Carter, "This is my first time in Arasaka Tower. It's like a maze. Everyone is in their own little rooms, and no matter how much I call them, they don't respond. Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to Vice Minister V's office?"

"Over there," Carter said blankly, pointing in a direction.

"Thanks." The girl gave a bright smile.

Carter was even more dumbfounded. His mind went blank, and only one sentence came to mind: My father, who has already gone to heaven, I've fallen in love!

"By the way, my name is Sasha." The girl asked with a smile, "What's your name, young man?"

"Carter, my name is Carter!" The young boy blushed, his brain-computer chip began to overclock wildly, but in the end he could only manage to utter, "Sasha, what brings you to see Vice Minister V?"

Sasha shook her head: "It wasn't me who sought out Vice Minister V, it was Vice Minister V who sought out me."

Carter was taken aback: "V Deputy Secretary is looking for you?"

“Yes.” Sasha handed over a card: “I’m a sex doll, I’m a Moxie. Come and support me sometime, bro.”

Hey bro, come support us sometime!

Come and support us when you have time...

Come and support us!

what……

Carter held the card, and his appearance turned ashen.

Sasha is a sex doll, and Vice Minister V has scheduled her appointment, so the two of them will be in the office soon... OH, NO!!!

My dear father who has gone to heaven, my love affair had only just begun before it was already over.

Click, the automatic door opened, and Sasha walked into V's office.

"Wow, what a magnificent room!" Sasha, as lively as an energetic kitten, threw herself onto the sofa with her paws in the air, twisting and turning as she exclaimed, "This is real leather, isn't it? It's so soft and comfortable!"

V glanced at her but didn't say anything, because she was currently launching a new round of intrusion into Kangtao's security robots and simply couldn't spare much energy.

Sasha lay on her side on the sofa, propping her head up with her hand, looking at V with a half-smile: "A diligent student is good, but you're a bit too arrogant. Kangtao's security robots are not something a novice can handle."

As expected, as Sasha finished speaking, V failed to invade again and was kicked out.
