People in Cyber, using skin to create legends

Chapter 13: The Middleman in District 22

Seeing the cowboy coming out, Molly asked directly:

"How about it?"

"Okay, Kyoko agreed to help us crack the password. If the amount in the card is more than 150,000, we can just add another 10,000 to the 10,000. If it's between 100,000 and 150,000, we can give her an extra 5,000."

"Is this... so elastic?"

Molly was a little surprised. The guy before asked for 50,000 at once, but now he reduced the price by half. Is that okay?

The cowboy smiled and said:

"She only has a technique that doesn't take much effort. She just asks for 50,000 to trick newbies. If you deal with her in the future, don't let her fool you."

There is no honest businessman. Even if the boss seems easy to talk to, he will definitely not show mercy when it comes time to rip you off.

Not to mention those people who are active in the dark side of the city.

So if you don’t want to be ripped off, you can only watch with your eyes wide open.

In the end, whether you will be ripped off by unscrupulous businessmen or be able to gain the greatest benefit in the bargaining process depends on your own ability.

"How long will it take to wait?"

"Just like she said, half an hour, we just need to wait here for a while."

The cowboy pulled over a chair, sat casually on it, and waited outside the door.

Just as the cowboy said, in less than half an hour, Kyoko called the two of them in.

However, the bank card password is still being cracked, but Kyoko has already checked the balance in the bank card.

"The password will take a while. Check your balance first, so you don't end up accusing me of stealing your money."

Kyoko said, pointing at the computer.

Molly and Cowboy looked over and saw that the account showed a balance of more than 169,000, which rounded up to 170,000.

"Rich man!"

The cowboy sighed.

It is rare to see people in the underground saving money. Even if they do save money, they generally don’t carry the savings with them.

There are several possibilities as to why the man in the windbreaker would carry so much money. One possibility is that he is confident in his own ability and thinks that no one can kill him, so he carries the bank card with him.

One possibility is that he saves money for another purpose, perhaps to save money to replace his prosthetic body, or it may be for other reasons, and he is just about to save enough, so he carries it with him.

But no matter which one it was, the windbreaker man’s savings now fell into the hands of Molly and the Cowboy.

The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

This time I really made money.

After confirming that the balance in the bank card was correct, Kyoko quickened her pace to crack the password.

After waiting for another two minutes, Mirror threw the silver card over, and Cowboy handed Kyoko the mission reward of 20,000 yuan.

Then the two of them went straight to the nearby ATM machine and divided up the hundreds of thousands of dollars in the bank card.

"I didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain from this mission."

When everything was settled, the cowboy couldn't help but sigh.

I thought I had just accepted an escort mission with low pay, but I didn't expect to encounter such a good thing during the mission.

The money shared this time is much higher than the reward for this mission.

Thinking of this, the cowboy couldn't help but look at Molly beside him. This little girl who had hidden her prosthesis probably wouldn't need his protection from now on.

But based on his own principles, the cowboy still had to protect her for a week, so after dividing the money, the cowboy couldn't help but ask Molly:

"What are your plans next?"

Molly played with the anonymous bank card that Muzi had given her, turned it around and put it back in her bag.

Her beast instinct allowed her to keenly sense the gazes coming from other places. These gazes were filled with undisguised hostility and greed. It seemed that the two of them had stayed in front of the ATM machine for too long, attracting the covetousness of the homeless people nearby.

After putting away her small bag, Molly said casually:

"Go buy a gun first, then take me to where I can buy intelligence, but now..."

Molly looked at the homeless people around her who couldn't help but stand up, and said with a slight smile:

"How about a warm-up exercise first?"

The cowboy also grinned and said:

"I think it's okay."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them rushed towards the homeless people without even saying hello.

……

The blind homeless guys were no match for Molly and the cowboys.

The fighting skills that come with Molly's skin, even if they are only intermediate, can easily defeat an ordinary person.

The optical prosthetic eye in the cowboy's eye can also help him analyze the enemy's movements.

How could a group of homeless people who didn’t even have prosthetic bodies be a match for the two of them?

After dealing with those homeless people, the cowboy took Molly to the red light district.

This was the first time Molly went to the red-light district at night. Usually she would leave before it got dark, so at this moment she was very curious about everything in the red-light district.

Most of the shops in the red-light district are massage shops or shops selling adult toys. Some organized or individual boys and girls stand on the street or in front of shops, showing their "charm" to attract customers.

Molly, who came here for the first time, couldn't help but look at those people a few more times, but after looking, Molly couldn't help but retract her gaze.

Facts have proved that the aesthetics of the future world are quite different from that of modern people like Molly who have just traveled through time.

Although the girls here have good figures, the heavy makeup that almost covers their entire faces really doesn't make Molly excited.

But Molly didn't say anything. After all, her predecessor also wore very heavy smoky makeup when she was in the bar.

This seems to be the norm here, but Molly's clean makeup is even rarer.

That's why Molly hid herself under the hood, not only to avoid being discovered by those who wanted to kill her, but also to avoid attracting other people's attention.

"arrive."

The cowboy's voice suddenly came.

Molly looked up, her eyes full of doubt:

"Muzi Bar?"

That’s right, the place where Cowboy took him to ‘buy intelligence’ was at Muzi Bar.

Molly thought a lot at this moment, and she suddenly realized something.

Mitarai Muzi has been running a bar here for many years, and in the one year that Molly has been working here, she has never seen gang members come to trouble her.

Even the leader of the Skeleton Gang would behave properly when he came here during the day and would not touch the bar staff.

I used to think that this was because the daytime in the City of Chaos was a world of order, and everyone had to abide by the rules.

But now the core of the original body has become Molly, and Molly immediately guessed that Muzi Bar may have a high status in the night world.

Mitarai Muzi is definitely not an ordinary bar owner.

Sure enough, seeing that Molly seemed very confused, the cowboy turned around and said:

"Don't you know? I thought you knew.

"Ms. Muzi is the middleman between District 22 and District 23. All intelligence and commissions must be received from her, so if you want to purchase intelligence, it is most convenient to come to her."

Chapter 14 Purchase Intelligence

Middleman, or...underground intermediary, is a rather special profession in the City of Chaos.

They have unimaginable information channels and connections, and can take on tasks that others can't imagine.

Sometimes they are mercenaries, with special bigwigs assigning them tasks.

Sometimes they can also be the initiators of mission commissions, handing over the tasks assigned by superiors to other mercenaries, and then sharing the final rewards.

Every middleman who is famous in the City of Chaos has strength and background that people dare not provoke. Although these people cannot be compared with those big shots, they are also unimaginable big shots for the lower-class people.

Just like their name suggests, middlemen.

Located between the lower and upper floors.

"Sister Muzi... is she the middleman?"

Molly felt a little emotional and surprised. She thought that Yuta Washi's identity was not simple, but she didn't expect that the other party was actually a middleman.

But if you think about it carefully, this is not a strange thing. If she didn't have such an identity, how could she protect so many girls in the bar.

How could he have stayed here safe and sound for so many years?

"Let's go find Muzi. I hope she won't be scared by you."

The cowboy said with a playful smile.

Judging from the fact that Muzi entrusted him to protect Molly, the other party definitely didn't know that Molly had a prosthetic body and such skilled fighting skills.

As the middleman between Districts 22 and 23, she couldn't even discover the secret of the little singer under her. The cowboy would definitely laugh at her for this.

Molly couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard the amusement in the cowboy's tone.

But Molly didn't say anything. The two of them entered through the main entrance like ordinary guests, then walked to the stairs on the side and went to the second floor through a special passage.

There were bodyguards guarding the stairs, but when the two bodyguards saw that it was the cowboys, they did not stop them.

Instead, when Molly stepped forward, two people stopped her.

"identity."

Molly didn't say anything, so the cowboy said, "You don't even recognize your colleagues?"

"?"

The two bodyguards in suits were startled.

Molly took off her hood and said:

"I'm Molly, I have something to talk to Sister Muzi about."

"Molly...you're not..."

One of the bodyguards was a little surprised.

As Muzi's bodyguard, they remembered all the main employees in the bar, and of course they also knew Molly, one of the few resident singers in Muzi Bar.

But didn’t Molly resign and leave?

The two bodyguards did not let her go immediately. One of them had his eyes slightly lit up, and it seemed that he had received an artificial eye, and was checking Molly's body.

After a while the cowboy said:

"Okay, no need to check. If the previous identity doesn't work, just use the identity of my partner. She should be able to become a good mercenary in the Chaos City in the future."

"When did I become a mercenary?"

Molly looked at the cowboy expressionlessly.

The cowboy asked in surprise, "Don't you want to? I see you're pretty decisive in killing people."

"..."

Molly was too lazy to pay attention to the cowboy, and the bodyguards in front of her heard something from the headphones after the inspection, and made way for Molly to pass, and said:

"Sister Muzi wants to see you, come in."

"Thank you."

Molly maintained basic courtesy toward her former colleagues.
