This is at least a job that can be done by Internet monitoring or the Voodoo Gang, but the problem is that these companies and organizations have nothing to do, so why would they just gather a bunch of people to beat up the gangs?
Network monitoring mainly provides network protection and security for various chain companies. It has no conflict of interest with the gangs in the city, and sometimes even has to send people to inquire about things.
It is even less likely that the Voodoo Gang will come out to provoke. They haven't even managed to operate the Taiping Island they occupy. If they come here to provoke others out of boredom, aren't they just looking to get beaten up?
The other party possessed powerful network technology and advanced technology, and it was clear they were up to no good. The gang members all kept a low profile, temporarily refraining from any dangerous or illegal activities. At the same time, they called their familiar middlemen to see if they could find the perpetrators.
The situation for NCPD is much simpler. The number of death cases they have reported in the past two days is more than ten times higher than before.
Although the NCPD couldn't count the number of missing persons, bodies dumped in incinerators, or those filmed after being filmed by Black Mewtwo, the number of people left on the streets could still be counted. These bad people, whether they were gang members, drug addicts, lone wolf mercenaries, or guys who committed crimes on a whim, their bodies were dumped directly on the spot after they were beaten to death.
It's not surprising to see so many people die occasionally, but what's strange is that all of them have criminal records or are suspected of other crimes. Many police officers in the NCPD are privately discussing whether Night City has produced several powerful messengers of justice.
For a time, in the NCPD police circle and the gang circle of Night City, these people who kept killing criminals in the dark became the topic of conversation.
Some of the NCPD police officers who are passionate about protecting citizens and fighting crime like these guys very much.
Another group of people don't like it very much, because it will ruin their business and prevent them from collecting protection money from company employees and gang members.
Regardless, after all this turmoil, Night City's security had miraculously improved. Even so, in those unmonitored streets and alleys and abandoned factory areas, there were still numerous victims wailing.
However, those would require skilled detectives, thorough searches, and the cooperation of the informant. These matters were beyond the capacity of this small team to handle at the moment.
But these things were still a bit far-fetched for Sun Yang right now. He was directing the humanoids to destroy the last of the fresh food in front of the cameras, while the rest of the inventory was being handled by the Valentino Gang in Heywood.
In short, it is not allowed to be sold anymore.
Sun Yang of Whole Foods can easily slap him, but Biotech can't. This is no different from slapping the face of an old chain company. This is really declaring war on the whole world.
Sun Yang also wanted to speed up the process of collecting technology, but there was no rush. The humanoids' infiltration work took time, and the humanoids themselves carrying out special missions and thefts also required a lot of preparation and follow-up work.
Of course, you can also look for local middlemen. Although the strength and expertise of middlemen in different regions vary, you can be sure that these middlemen are well-informed.
At least the capable middlemen were more informed. Sun Yang also tentatively placed orders with a few middlemen, but no one had taken them up yet.
Considering that these actions are calculated on a monthly basis, Sun Yang had no choice but to give up the idea of a quick victory and honestly transform his shopping mall into a sanatorium.
Once the renovation is complete, the mall will be filled with various recreational areas, including self-service beverages and food, a hot spring area, saunas, a yoga studio, and massage therapists from around the world. All of this will give the place the feel of a luxury spa hotel.
The most amazing thing about this sanatorium is that they have invited the world's most authoritative cyberpsychiatry treatment experts, and this place can also treat cyberpsychiatry.
Sun Yang even said that after the treatment, these cyber psychopaths needed to find a place to relax, and he also guaranteed that the cyber psychopaths would go to a dedicated rest area.
Although the most useful part of this treatment is the "Healing Prayer", it is always a good idea to let the patient stay in a comfortable environment for a while.
"It's becoming more and more like one of those hotels in a scenic area that suddenly closed down after opening for three months. Fortunately, I don't have much cost." Sun Yang sighed as he looked at the various documents in his hands that were being reviewed and approved by the city council. It seemed that running a sanatorium did not infringe on the interests of these multinational corporations, and as for cyberpsychosis, there was even less of a problem.
546 Treatment and Religious Considerations
After Sun Yang finished decorating the shopping mall, he spread the gimmick of being able to cure cyberpsychosis to various news media.
In order to attract as many people as possible to seek treatment, Sun Yang directly offered free treatment to the first 20 patients, and promised that if the effect was not good, he would compensate each person with 100,000 euros.
Once this promise was made, reservations quickly poured in from people all over Night City. Those suffering from cyberpsychosis had been waiting to see what was happening, but once they heard this, everyone got excited. After all, who wouldn't want to take advantage of a good deal?
The people who come for appointments span a wide range of classes, from middle-level company managers to workers in Santo Domingo, to gang members and some vagrants and scavengers who have saved some money.
These people sent tentative emails, hoping to bring their family or friends to see a doctor. After all, the so-called cyberpsychosis seems to be an incurable disease in this era.
Regardless of the cause, it is considered a disease that cannot be completely cured by medicine. Many patients spend all their money, but often only manage to prolong their lives by a few days.
Regardless of whether Sun Yang's story was genuine or not, there were always people who would try to seek treatment. If they failed, they could get compensation. It was unbelievable that Night City had such a good deal, it was almost like there was a pitfall written all over it.
But Night City is never short of adventurous and desperate people. Within 24 hours of Sun Yang putting out the ad, more than a dozen people had already made reservations.
When these people come, invite some news media to report on it, give them some money and then hype it up.
Subsequent customers who are not short of money should be able to make him a lot of money, and then he can use this money to bribe some company employees or hire middlemen to do things for him.
Sun Yang had considered counterfeiting money, but the level of technology in the cyberpunk world was indeed impressive, and various anti-counterfeiting technologies were beyond Oasis's ability to forge currency.
Considering that the risk of counterfeiting money in Night City is quite high, Sun Yang is better off making money honestly.
However, before attracting these first batch of customers, Sun Yang had to arrange the attending physician in place first.
***
"My Lord... Is this my next job?" K5 stroked his robe, the dragon bell in his hand swaying. "Treating cyberpsychosis? But I have no medical training, nor am I an expert in psychological medicine research."
"You don't need those certificates, just lie to people and package yourself. If all else fails, just say that you are the son of God from the Advent Sect or the Divine Punishment Sect, and that you have gained the power to save the Cyberworld people." Sun Yang touched K5's head and told her not to be so anxious, while he himself was also talking nonsense.
The core area of this renovated medical center is the treatment room where K5 is in charge. After a brief reflection, Sun Yang bought some witchcraft and religious decorations from various worlds and placed them in the treatment room to enhance the atmosphere.
"I think it's better for me to come up with a set of words. And we need to conduct an on-site investigation. And my lord, are there any problems with the source of these decorations you bought? My Geiger counter is alarming." K5 pointed to a few pieces of rags with strange symbols painted on them in the corner.
"That's the real stuff snatched from the Atomic Cult. It seems that the T-dolls on the mission misunderstood my order and sent this thing over intact. There are still radioactive residues on this blanket. It's a genuine Atomic Cult collection." Sun Yang coughed and threw the blankets back to the base, asking them to remove the radioactive residues before sending them over.
After checking the surrounding collections to make sure there was no residual radiation, Sun Yang turned to K5 again and gave her some ideological work or advice.
"If you don't want to do it, I can arrange someone else. I won't force you. If you have any ideas, you can tell me directly." Sun Yang sat down next to K5.
"Since it's my Lord's order, I will naturally respect it. It's not forced on me. I'm just not sure how accepting this world is of things like witchcraft..." K5's eyes gleamed as she accessed the Night City LAN. "There is indeed a 'Misty's Psychic House' in Watson District, and it also does tarot card readings?"
Before joining Griffin, K5 was a divination-focused humanoid. As a somewhat unreliable divination robot, she naturally had a strong interest in psychic houses.
Although Sun Yang wanted to complain about why robots were being used for such metaphysical divination, but after thinking about it carefully, it was no different from a machine drawing lots or a lottery.
Asking K5 to draw tarot cards is no different from drawing the best sticks from a bucket of sticks. K5 also accesses the database and integrates customer information when interpreting tarot cards.
In this respect, she was the same as a traditional witch who practiced divination. Sun Yang had asked her to do this because he knew K5 was familiar with divination interpretation and she had actually practiced Dark Soul magic.
"I see. People who have absolutely no telekinesis abilities can still make a living. I didn't expect that even with technology developing to this point, there are still people who believe in this stuff. No matter where or what era, as long as humans are still confused, there will be room for this kind of industry to survive." K5 nodded and said.
"By the way, my lord, does this Night City, or this world, not have that kind of magical energy? The urban rumors I found are mostly modern supernatural stories." K5 asked Sun Yang.
After all, their commander was a literal fantasy undead, having died and come back to life many times. Furthermore, even K5 could practice spells that defied the physical universe.
"I didn't sense any magical energy, nor did I find any special souls. As for the more professional Strider, he walked around the city with a bunch of things. He just said that there were traces of residual space fluctuations. There was nothing else." Sun Yang explained to K5.
Although the spatial fluctuation concerned Strider, Sun Yang knew very well what it was.
Ciri, a character from "The Witcher 3", once came to this city and lived there for a while. She was a woman with powerful bloodline who could travel across the world. Her teleportation device was much more reliable than Sun Yang's, who relied on humanoid thinking and Dark Souls black box technology to create it.
So Sun Yang was not nervous about this. Only Strade, after discovering this situation, would shout things like "There is new magic in this world", "There must be lost spell manuscripts", "Be careful of visitors from other worlds".
Although Sun Yang explained to Strider that this phenomenon was left behind by someone from another world and that she would most likely never return, Strider simply nodded, not taking Sun Yang's words seriously. Without a second thought, he plunged into the search for the lost text.
"Okay, my lord, I know what to do. Just leave it to me. I promise to use magical means to make every patient who comes here to see a doctor leave with a confused look on their face. By the way, can I recruit believers among the patients?" K5 patted his chest and said that there was no problem, but the request he made later made Sun Yang's blood pressure rise a little.
"First of all, you know that we are not a religion, and the Divine Punishment Sect is just a joke. Secondly, why do you recruit these locals? Don't we have enough human forms? Have you considered the issues of loyalty and confidentiality?" In Sun Yang's view, the greatest function of religion is to deceive oneself, because real life crushes the soul, so one has to find a sustenance to give oneself the courage to continue living.
"My Lord, when I was still doing divination, I saw many people who were desperate. They were entangled in many troubles and could only come to me for divination, hoping to know what to do next through divination." K5 knocked on the table and said seriously.
"Go on." Sun Yang did not interrupt K5.
"I used to only be able to give them false hope, to give them the courage to live. A long time ago, my ability could only do this, but now, the power I possess is not false." K5 chose his words carefully.
"The power you possess is indeed more real and reliable than all the religions in this world. But I don't like using this kind of thing to maintain the human spirit. Give me another reliable reason." Sun Yang shook his head.
"Hmm... the followers you develop should be able to provide more intelligence channels or something like that...? You have many company employees and gang members. These cyberpsychosis sufferers will surely be grateful if they are cured. Due to my duties, I have learned a lot of religious initiation rituals and understand how to maintain people's hearts. However, my Lord has always forbidden me to do such things."
"And my lord, it will take time for elite T-dolls to steal company documents, or for scientific research T-dolls to infiltrate various companies, right?" K5 said hesitantly.
"Okay... you convinced me. If you can control the situation, let's do it." As a pragmatic person, Sun Yang quickly put aside his prejudice against religion when he heard that he could steal intelligence.
At least K5 can really cure people, which is much better than those religions that only deceive people.
Sun Yang handed this power completely to K5 and also transferred two new humanoid teams to help K5. I hope K5 will not lead them astray.
547 Daily Life in Night City: M14 Team is trying to use the Mewtwo Device
In the days that followed, nothing seemed to bother Sun Yang anymore. At least the multinational companies didn't send any more mercenaries or middle-level managers to cause trouble.
As for the gangs or middlemen that occupied various ecological niches, Sun Yang did not actually consider them a threat. In a world where Anzstan was being developed to its limit, these gangs that could not control large amounts of resources were far less dangerous than those multinational corporations.
This was fine for now, as he stood firm and waited quietly for time to advance to 2077. In his office, Sun Yang furiously drank the various beverages sold in Night City, watching the hovercrafts and towering skyscrapers flying by outside the window.
He had asked Antonina to find out about the character named "V". She was a girl who grew up on the streets of Night City. Recently, he heard that she was busy in Atlanta, but she didn't do anything remarkable.
Sun Yang didn't intend to let his actions affect the original plot. After all, it was a good idea to let Arasaka Corporation fall into chaos. And V and Jack stealing the RELIC chip also met his needs.
It's not impossible to let the T-dolls under your command steal the RELIC, but doing so will likely lead the story in an unknown direction.
Arasaka Yorinobu might not be able to kill Arasaka Saburo by accident, and even Hermann, who led the RELC project, would not be able to escape from Arasaka.
Sun Yang is not a person who likes adventure. Compared with the unknown future, he hopes that the established things will not be too biased, at least not in these major matters.
Of course, petty thefts by humanoids and brawling with street gangs wouldn't affect anything. However, the lower-level gangs were constantly attacking each other and extorting information, with hundreds of cases happening every day.
These top companies don't bother to pay attention to the petty actions of the humanoids. As long as it doesn't infringe on the company's interests, they can do whatever they want.
It's true, as some intermediaries have said, that Night City's ecological balance is extremely fragile, and it can be shattered at the slightest mistake. However, this shattering will happen to anyone other than the corporations, and no one can survive the conflict between corporations.
"So what we have to do now is... do nothing." Sun Yang did not make any big moves for the time being, but the humanoid figures and two undead under his command did not stop their actions.
***
Bang! The door of a strip club was kicked open, and several women with sad faces and clothes that were very old-fashioned by Night City standards walked out.
Behind them was a chaotic mess of knocked-out customers, strippers, and security guards. These people were men and women, each with a different set of implants. The only thing they had in common was that they were all knocked unconscious.
The girls who emerged were the humanoid team that had previously fought the Six Street Gang. However, after that battle, the humanoids had never come into contact with the Six Street Gang again.
They continued to sell their cheap robotic bodies to anyone they met, while also tracking down local scavengers. Their lives settled down.
As for whether the thugs from the Six Street Gang would be beaten to death by vendors wielding industrial cranes when collecting protection money, that was not something the humanoids had to consider.
Although the humanoids can work for long hours, Sun Yang still allows them to go out for a walk, relax, and do whatever they want when they are not busy.
After all, if a humanoid works for too long, its mind may freeze, just like a computer, which may freeze if it keeps running certain programs.
Pascal explained to him the reasons for this situation (Sun Yang said he didn't understand), and said that as long as the mind cloud map is continuously optimized, the occurrence of this situation can be reduced.
However, Sun Yang chose to simply wave his hand and let them play. Even his own computer wouldn't run non-stop, let alone these humanoids.
The task of leading these new humanoids was given to their captains - the elite humanoids who followed Sun Yang throughout the entire battle.
The captain of this team, M14, took these T-dolls with not-so-smart brains around to see if they could find some fun in the city.
So far, though, they haven't been very successful. They've already destroyed several businesses. Night City has too many messy businesses and too many people.
"Captain. Are you sure there are any interesting places in this city?" One of the taller figures asked M14, who was wearing twin ponytails in front of him.
Her face wasn't bad, but she looked more like a machine or a corpse than a human.
Although the bionic muscles on her face were moving correctly, any normal person with eyesight could subconsciously sense that something was wrong with her.
Although there are many people in Night City who have this kind of corpse-like temperament, this temperament will always attract some strange guys.
"Oh my! I didn't expect that store had so many people selling Shiny and peddling Black Mewtwo. I've been to several stores, and there are always these people coming to the door. I'm helpless. And every time you guys just fight with people without thinking. Don't you guys use your brain?" M14 said, holding his head.
"Because there is a danger of our identities being discovered, according to the orders of the commander and the main base, our top priority is to ensure our identities are not discovered, and the second priority is to ensure our own safety. I think using fists and feet to fight is the appropriate choice." The new humanoid said dryly.
The figures following behind nodded in unison, then without moving their heads, their eyes swept to completely different places, observing if anyone was staring at them.
They were so uniform that they looked like machines, even though humanoids are machines.
If I were human, I'd definitely think this situation is fucking bizarre. M14 sighed with some exhaustion.
How exactly does the headquarters train these newcomers? Isn't it said that all of them have undergone long-term training and observed a lot of human work?
"A big reason why you were targeted by the bad guys is that you behaved so strangely. Each of you looks like you've taken drugs and are mentally unstable." M14 said, turning around.
"Abnormal? Search... compare... strip away the emotions?" The figures behind immediately shared computing power to get the answer.
"Am I really a robot?" M14 couldn't help but complain.
"Horror, horror," the new humanoids behind him retreated one after another, "Omnic Crisis!"
"Shut up you idiots. I'm not putting you on intercom mode, just saying no more about the Mechanical Crisis for a minute. Okay guys, we've been around a lot these days, what are your thoughts?"
M14 led the gang across the zebra crossing. Gunshots were heard from the nearby street and NCPD police cars whizzed past them.
"Boring. Uninteresting. Nonsense." The new T-dolls each expressed their opinions. Then, they all began to explain to M14.
"The food is terrible, far worse than at the main base. After analyzing these synthetic foods with my artificial tongue, they're also classified as very unpalatable. It's comparable to the worst dishes in Britain in various worlds."
"As for the old entertainment equipment, it's no different from what's available at the base, and the variety at the base is much richer. Holographic augmented reality equipment is not uncommon, and the training sessions at the base are more advanced and have more functions."
"As for clubs, I've been to eight of them. The edgy music is unsettling. There are a lot of humans who have transformed themselves to look more like robots than robots, and there are also a lot of aliens. I can't understand why they wear clothes that highlight their organs."
"Only a very small portion of the local music can be seen as human creation. The rest is AI repeatedly editing the climax. It's extremely boring."
"TV shows are boring. It's better to go back to base and watch TV shows from different worlds and under different circumstances. Any of them is worse than the shows in Night City."
