People are in cyberpunk, but they are top-level cyberpsychopaths

However, at this moment, an advertisement playing on TV caught his attention.

Not for any other reason, just because there was an advertisement about moon travel on TV, especially the price of 250K, which made him marvel.

"It only costs 25 yuan to go to the moon? It's really cheap..."

"But just go up, right?" Lucy's tone became much lighter and she seemed a little happy.

"Well, this is actually a pretty good price for a ticket to the moon."

At least this price is really reasonable in Night City.

But Lucy didn't pay attention to his subsequent words, and just murmured in an inaudible voice: "...I didn't expect you still remembered..."

"Of course, after all, that is your dream, and I also said that I would take you to the moon one day. This is our promise..."

At this point, he suddenly thought of something and suggested, "Hey, Lucy, how about we go to the moon at the end of this year?"

"It's up to you."

Lucy slowly stood up and walked towards the stairs: "I'm going to bed, you should go to bed early too, good night."

"Yeah, I'll be there in a minute. Good night."

David turned around and smiled back, then he had already started planning a trip to the moon at the end of the year.

Seeing him thinking seriously, Lucy smiled silently.

I didn't expect you to still remember...

But now, she feels that it doesn't matter whether she goes to the moon or not.

Because she had gained something more important than going to the moon.

-------------------------------------

Noon the next day.

Tom's Restaurant in Watson's.

This hotel can be regarded as a legendary hotel, and the diners here are all talented people.

In the game, V, Johnny Silverhand and Goro Takemura met here, and now the top executives of Arasaka and the well-known middleman Faraday came here to discuss things.

As for how David knew?

Look, he is in the innermost corner of the restaurant, eating the pancake that V once recommended to Goro Takemura.

"Ugh~ It's still as unpalatable as before, but it's still somewhat edible compared to the others."

This is his evaluation of the food that V mentioned.

Night City really deserves to be known as a city with a food desert.

The best of the things for sale are only edible.

I don’t know what the rich people living here eat.

Could it be that he was injecting nutrient solution while enjoying the delicious food from half a century ago?

He couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

Because these things are really not for human consumption.

Just then, the door of Tom's Hotel was pushed open.

"Oh, here it comes."

He muttered something quietly, immediately activated the optical camouflage, and instantly disappeared.

The person who came in from the hotel door was Faraday.

Faraday looked around and after finding nothing wrong, he walked straight to sit opposite the man from the Arasaka Counterintelligence Department.

"I didn't expect the world's top company would discuss illegal work commissions in such a place."

As Farad said this, he lit a cigarette and smoked it quietly.

The swirling smoke added a hint of haziness to the two of them.

"We thought it would be nice to use your tactics occasionally." Facing Faraday's "praise", the man responded calmly.

However, David almost laughed out loud when he heard what these two people said.

What shameless self-promotion.

Do you still dare to claim to be the best in the world?

Do you take Kang Tao seriously?

You know, Kang Tao controls the energy lifeline of the entire Night City.

Even if Petrochemical converts millions of genetically modified wheat from fertile fields into the future biofuel CHOOH2, the energy contained will be just a drop in the bucket and can only supply some basic equipment.

The main energy source of Night City is still in the hands of Kang Tao, and the power station outside Night City belongs to Kang Tao.

To put it bluntly, if people are unhappy, they can just cut off your electricity.

By then, no matter how powerful Arasaka is, what can it do?

Can you generate your own electricity?

Then, a new voice came from the other side.

"Forget it, I'm here too, what's your reply?"

Faraday was waiting for the man's reply, or more precisely, waiting for Arasaka Corporation's decision.

But the man remained silent about this reply and instead brought up the matter of the cyborg.

"Cyborg is a very sensitive topic, even within Arasaka."

"Tanaka concealed the operation data excessively, which caused a lot of trouble. How much did Military Technology know about this?"

"Intelligence is the basis of my dealings. I need assurances before we get into more details."

Faraday was indeed a seasoned veteran. Even when the other party asked him such questions, he remained silent about the information he had.

At least until you get a positive answer, you must keep your mouth shut.

This also made the man a little disappointed: "We respect you as the best middleman in Night City. We will gladly accept all the conditions that Military Technology rejects you."

"As for Tanaka's mess, consider it as your debt repayment."

"Very good." Faraday felt relieved after getting the answer he wanted.

He is now dancing on the edge of a knife.

If the man in front of him does not agree to his conditions and accept Arasaka's protection, he will be hunted down by both Arasaka and Military Technology.

But at the same time, the other party suddenly changed his tone: "However, we also have a few conditions..."

"Oh, here it comes. Here comes the content I want."

David listened carefully to the man's condition.

But just like his memory, there was no difference at all.

Anyone who knows about Cyborg must die, because it is about the Arasaka Security Department and the experimental cyborg of Arasaka Yorinobu's bodyguard, Adam Hammer. It will even be mass-produced unexpectedly, so no one can know about it.

Another condition is to find the cyber hacker who killed the Arasaka hacker, destroyed the data, or even prevented data recovery.

They even offered a price of one million, and even the corpse cost five hundred thousand.

Faraday readily accepted both proposals.

Especially the latter, one million euros is not a small amount of money. As long as you have this money, you can leave Night City at that time.

And he already has a goal.

Only Qiwei knew about this.

So, Faraday has already planned his next trip.

After the two left, David untied the optical camouflage and couldn't help stroking his chin and smacking his lips, "Tsk, I didn't expect Arasaka's escaped card girl to be so valuable. She is much more valuable than any 3090 female knight."

He worked so hard to earn only about three million, and that was only after he emptied two middlemen and took a lot of things from the cyber madmen and various gangs.

Sometimes they even hacked into the internal equipment of the terrorist squad.

It's true that people have to die when compared with others, and goods have to be thrown away when comparing goods.

"But now comes the key point."

Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Don't let me down, Faraday... and Qiwei."

73. A date with Rebecca? No, it was a showdown (6K)

"Ding--"

Qiwei, who had just finished a deep dive, suddenly received a phone call, and the caller surprised her.

"It's rare that you would contact me on your own initiative."

"Long time no see, Qiwei."

The voice coming from the other end of the phone was Lucy's, which was why Qiwei felt surprised.

Although she was the one who found Lucy and brought her into the team, the two of them rarely had any contact or interaction.

Maybe it’s because of our incompatibility in personality, or maybe it’s because of something else.

But in Qiwei's memory, this was the first time someone took the initiative to contact her.

"what happened?"

"...Nothing, just wanted to ask something."

"what's up?"

"No big deal... just wanted to ask if David is doing okay?"

"David?" Qi Wei was a little confused: "You spend more time with him every day, why are you asking me?"

"For some reason...I want to ask him if he is doing well at work?"

"is it?"

The voice coming from the other end of the phone was obviously hesitant, but Qiwei was not the kind of person who would pry into other people's secrets, so she didn't care.

Frankly speaking: “I think it’s pretty good.”

"When he first found me, I thought he was not very capable and I had to help him a lot. But now it seems that I thought too much. He is a real team leader."

In her mind, this level of excellence has surpassed Mann, especially in assessing the situation.

Whenever it is time to take action, he will never hesitate and he does it cleanly and efficiently. It is hard to imagine that he is a newcomer who has been in the mercenary business for less than a year.

"Even Faraday approached him for work, but he refused."

"Yeah, I heard."

This matter was only mentioned casually by David during a casual chat, and she didn't know the details.

"I guess Mann and the others will be full of praise when they see David's current appearance."

"Yes...Mann and Dolio are very satisfied with David now..."

She and David had visited Mann two months ago.

By then, Mann's mentality had adjusted, and he was very satisfied to see David.

He just kept yelling about wanting to make a comeback, and then was beaten up badly by Dolio.

They really should retire.

Thinking of this, Lucy felt a little emotional, but she still hadn't found out what she wanted to know.

For example, David has to deal with Arasaka.

This was also the main reason why she took the initiative to contact Qi Wei.

Qi Wei seemed to have heard that the man was not interested in drinking, and continued to ask: "Is there anything you are worried about?"

"...Nothing." Lucy hesitated for a moment, "As long as he is fine, that's enough."
