In Night City, I was picked up by a female V

“The price is not expensive. Hey, I made the money from the last order.” Jack scratched his head. He seemed humble, but his face was full of pride for his beloved car.

Last order? V began to think about where the money from his last order went.

Finally, the picture in my mind froze on Bai Rui's sweet smile.

Thinking of this, V himself smiled.

"Hmph, even if this car is second-hand, you can't afford it." As he watched, V didn't give his good brother any face and exposed Jack.

"Uh... I paid off a little loan. Not much, just a tiny bit, but it was worth it." Jack admitted sheepishly, like a big boy explaining why he spent a lot of money to get hundreds of DLCs for the game.

"If I were you, I would replace the exhaust pipe." V leaned against the car and scanned Jack's red and black motorcycle with the eyes of an old wanderer. He soon discovered some problems with the newly manufactured car.

"Ah? Why? It relies on its fierce sound to attract girls." Jack widened his eyes, not understanding.

"Just from the rumbling sound, even from a kilometer away, I would know it's you, Jack."

"The fuel injection needs to be fixed, too. And a new map uploaded. Until you have enough money, just use some heat tape to fix it and make do with it."

V was like a big boss in a graphics card bar, giving Jack's car some pointers, and the money spent on modifications was almost doubled.

"Uh, um..." Jack listened to those terms that he seemed to understand but not quite, with a dull look on his face, full of confusion.

At this time, Arnold's Thunderous Mackinaw also roared in.

"Well, the Thunderous Mackinaw off-road vehicle, that's amazing." Jack looked at the parked iron-gray off-road vehicle with envy.

This is an expensive item, and he can't even think about it with the money in his pocket.

Listening to the heavy roar like a tiger's roar, Jack wanted to go up and have a try.

"Well, it's just so-so. If it's factory-made, I'd say it should at least be equipped with Caucasian heavy-duty tires and bulletproof doors..."

"V." Jack called out to V who was fantasizing about modifying the car.

"What's wrong?" V raised an eyebrow curiously.

Jack didn't say anything. He just looked at his own car, then at the Thunderway Mackinaw, and finally at the second-hand Sky Hera that V was leaning against. By the way, it was purchased with twelve installments.

There was no need for words; Jack's eyes revealed it clearly.

How come you are an expert in car modification, but you can drive this kind of civilian car?

"Hmm..." V was speechless for a moment, his face flushed with embarrassment.

Damn, now she is really just like those car-modifying people.

This classic model was almost gone, as the new car had problems, but I ended up riding a shared bike.

"Haha, just kidding, chica (girl)." Jack smiled and waved his hand. "But you can't use all your money to support chica, you still have to save up some money to improve your mount. After all, you need something to ride during the day as well as at night, right?"

Jack winked at V meaningfully.

The two were still talking when Arnold and Bai Rui, who had just gotten off the car, came over.

Bai Rui smiled.

She used to think it was fake when she heard that one would smile subconsciously when seeing someone they liked, but now when she saw V, she couldn't help but open her mouth to reveal a sweet smile.

She quickly covered her face with her hands shyly to prevent herself from laughing too happily.

When he saw Bai Rui, V smiled subconsciously.

Under the love filter, V seems to be covered with a hazy halo, her skin and beautiful facial features are glowing, and her heroic eyes reveal an indescribable emotion that is fascinating.

Bai Rui walked up to V and gave him a hug.

But V seemed unsatisfied. He lifted Bai Rui's chin with his fingertips and kissed him again to complete the greeting.

"I'll go." Jack, who was riding on the bike, suddenly widened his eyes.

"What are you two doing?!" Jack was surprised and astonished at the same time, his face looked a little weird, which made V and Bai Rui couldn't help laughing.

Jack scratched his head and finally understood why V was so cheerful despite having a tight life.

With a sweet girl hugging me, what else do I need a bicycle for?

Chapter 37: Farsighted Vortex Gang

"The headquarters of the Whirlpool Gang is in this Whole Foods factory. You can smell the meat from half a kilometer away."

"V and I looked around. The factory gate is of course there, but there is also a back door, which is where the goods are loaded and shipped out. There should be other exits as well, and we should be able to leave the factory through those abandoned pipes."

"We don't know what's going on inside the factory, but I'm sure there will be a lot of people from the Uzumaki Gang. Once we get in, we'll just have to deal with them as they come."

"That's about it."

Jack told Bai Rui the results of his and V's investigation.

"That robot Dexter has already paid the Vortex Gang, but I don't know if they still acknowledge the debt. The worst-case scenario is that they might turn against the gang and take the goods away, which is like the thief robbing the thief."

V added.

"That's no problem. The people at the Military Technology Company have some ideas about the Whirlpool Gang that robbed their fleet. The company executive Stout gave me this." Bai Rui took out the pink credit chip and raised it. "If the other party doesn't admit it, we can use this money to buy it again. After all, it's the company's money, so it's a waste if we don't use it."

This is Bai Rui’s plan.

After all, reality is different from games. In games, you can upgrade and get a lot of loot by fighting your way out of the Whole Food Factory, but in reality, you only have one life, so there is no need and you dare not play it so excitingly. It is indeed romantic to fight your way out of the enemy's lair, but if you can complete the transaction, there is no need to resort to force.

What's more, Bai Rui knew that this credit chip contained a tracking chip, and that people from the military technology company would come to deal with the Vortex Gang. At that time, Bai Rui's intention was to let them fight each other to the death.

"In that case, let's do this." After summarizing the information, V gave his own ideas. "Jack and I will go meet the Whirlpool Gang. Bai Rui, you and this, um, Arnold, stay outside and prepare for support."

After hearing the plan, Jack nodded in agreement, but Bai Rui frowned.

This won't do. Staying behind and cheering for the team when things happen is not in line with Bai Rui's style at all.

"No, V." Bai Rui looked V in the eyes and said what he was thinking. "You know my character. Don't think of abandoning me."

Seeing the couple having a conflict, Jack wisely chose to keep quiet.

"This..." Looking at Bai Rui's serious eyes, V couldn't refuse, and subconsciously looked at Jack, wanting to drag someone into the water, but that bastard Jack seemed to know V's thoughts in advance. He stared at the fuel gauge of his motorcycle, as if the pointers on the dial could make flowers.

In fact, she just didn't want Bai Rui to take risks with her, but V knew that if she told Bai Rui about this idea, Bai Rui would be furious.

"Hmm~" Seeing V's look, Bai Rui stepped forward and stood in front of V, with his resentful little face facing her.

"Okay, okay, let's go together." V compromised helplessly.

This little Bai Rui is only serious and obedient when he is in bed.

V sighed helplessly.

But, forget it. It is this kind of Bai Rui who is not afraid of difficulties that is the Bai Rui she likes.

Thinking of this, V laughed again.

After all, Bai Rui is not the kind of person who hides behind and needs protection.

"Then...old man, please guard the back door of the factory and provide us with cover."

V said to Arnold.

V had never trusted the mercenary sent by DeShawn, so he was very cold towards him. However, thinking that they were in the same group, V still found something for him to do.

As for what Arnold had to say, of course he had nothing to say.

So the three of them decided to go to the Whole Foods factory together.

A car and a motorcycle soon stopped in front of the Whole Foods factory.

Gang members are not good people, but the Vortex Gang is definitely the craziest one among them.

They are a cybernetic-obsessed gang that controls gangs in Watson and the North Industrial District. They can be recognized by their intimidating facial plates and hostile optical implants.

Not only are they standard equipment for the gang, they also highlight their blind obsession with prosthetics and cyber-transformation.

When you look at the Uzumaki Gang, you might think, "Those are some of the most daring transhuman transformation pioneers out there." If they were only testing the limits of the human body on themselves, you'd probably be right... Unfortunately, they also enjoy "experimenting" on anyone unfortunate enough to fall into their hands.

The Uzumaki Gang is known for its extreme cruelty and public gang executions, and combined with illegal dream production and a manic fighting style, a gang of lunatics on the verge of cyberpsychosis was born.

When you see a guy with ugly surgical scars all over his body and half his face filled with glowing red artificial eyes like a spider, you know you've messed with the Uzumaki Gang.

Walking up to the shuttered doors of the abandoned Whole Foods factory, Jack got on the pager.

"Um~, who are you?" A dull metallic voice came from the intercom.

"We're looking for Royce. Dexter sent us." V said.

"Go to the computer room. We're waiting for you." The enemy must have a bad temper because he hung up the phone right after he finished speaking. However, the rolling door was opened.

The door brought out a stale smell when it opened, but that was not important. What was important was that in the messy factory, there were several automatic machine guns placed up and down, with red aiming lasers pointing dimly at the floor. The red spots were so dense that it was chilling just to look at them.

"Yeah, the atmosphere is good. Just plant a few pots of flowers." Jack shrugged and walked in. Now he began to feel fortunate that he did not plan to rush in with force from the beginning. "Oh, they are well prepared."

"I've never seen a food factory with such strict security." V ​​also said with a frown.

This kind of scene is very different from the petty fights they used to have on the streets.

"Well, they should be equipment looted from the transport team... Humph, they are probably armed to the teeth." Jack expressed his guess.

Bai Rui was furious when he heard Jack's rude analogy.

How do you arm your asshole? Stick a stick in it?

The dim and narrow factory corridor had only cold metal walls and ladders, with no one in sight. The turbid light of incandescent lamps and red lights not only failed to bring a sense of security, but instead made the place seem even more gloomy.

There were lunch box-like objects placed at the door and corners. V and the others saw that they were laser mines, and there were even military technology symbols on them.

"Anti-personnel mine, directional fragmentation." V murmured.

It is definitely not an easy task to attack such a heavily guarded factory, at least it is not something that can be done by one or two teams of agents.

It seems that the robbery of the military technology convoy has increased the strength of the Vortex Gang.

With this in mind, the three of them became even more uncertain about this meeting and became extremely cautious.

After turning the corner, the three of them entered a spacious workshop. The incandescent lights illuminated the room, and their vision suddenly became wider.

The workshop is filled with high-tech goods with military technology logos, electronic components, magnetic grenades, data chips... and of course, countless firearms, painted iron gray, all of which are first-class military supplies.

For a moment, Bai Rui felt that his gains from the Kabuki sweep were very low-grade. As expected, gangs are gangs. Robbing a group of military technology convoys was like upgrading their muskets to cannons.

If she hadn't known that military technology would wipe out the factory behind the scenes, she would have almost given a thumbs up to the Vortex Gang.

In addition to the goods, there are also members of the Uzumaki Gang in the wide space.

Most of them were shirtless, with scars and welding marks all over their bodies from reconstruction surgeries. Their faces had been altered to look unrecognizable, with artificial eyes like focusing bulbs inserted in the place where their eyes once were.

These artificial eyes looked at the three people who broke into this place, emitting a creepy scarlet light.

The three of them couldn't help but shudder and became nervous.

"Hurry up and get in the elevator, you three cowards!" Looking at the three people passing by them, the members of the Whirlpool Gang threatened them with malice, and looked at V and Bai Rui with disgusting eyes. If V and them were not the clients of the transaction, who knows what these bad guys were going to do.

"Don't be nervous... they are scaring us." Jack frowned, but his pace did not slow down at all, and the same went for V and Bai Rui.

The three of them walked into the elevator.

To be honest, these whirlpools created a great atmosphere, but they couldn't scare the three of them.

The three of them are not rookies, but experienced mercenaries on the streets.

Gang members rely on the gang to bully others, but they rely on themselves and the guns in their hands to make a name for themselves.

When it comes to fighting, none of these drug addicts are their match.

The elevator reached the top and the iron curtain door opened. A thin member of the Vortex Gang was guarding the door. Behind him should be the computer room mentioned earlier.

"Who are you looking for?" asked the little guy from the Uzumaki Gang, shaking his head which was covered with densely packed red artificial eyes. From the voice, they knew that this was the person who had just talked to them on the intercom.

"We're here to see Royce. We have a business deal to discuss with him." V stepped forward and said to the short man guarding the door.

"Mr. Royce is busy. If you have anything to say, tell me." The little guy seemed to be unable to keep quiet for a moment. He kept shaking his head and the gun in his hand swayed back and forth. Bai Rui was worried that the guy would accidentally fire the gun.

"You have a robot, MTOD12, called Flathead." V said patiently.

"What's wrong? It's none of your business!" The little guy retorted, shaking his head impatiently. He asked Bai Rui to guess, either this guy has always been so irritable, or he is addicted.

"My client has already paid Brick. I'm here to pick up the goods. If necessary, I'll talk to Royce in person."
