Chapter 529 is too smart, the Savage King
[Bryce: Network monitoring captured a set of special signals when you just passed the Badlands stage. There is evidence that this set of signals came from an unknown source. agent. ]
[Bryce: It’s not Arasaka, it’s not Military Technology, it’s not even Pezo Petrochemical, Su Petrochemical is not a common company that has a group of high-quality agents. Of course, it obviously has nothing to do with you. 】
[Bryce: This agent seems to be involved in investigating Holt, but it is still unclear what relationship he has with the hacker named Dante. 】
Fortunately, Bryce didn't clamor to take a look at Lear like a fanatical groupie, but Lear was very interested in what he said.
Before entering Dog Town, he needed some time to obtain more information and clarify some doubts.
The biggest suspicion is the guy named Dante. Network surveillance is obviously targeting Arasaka, and Dante is an investigation point in this chain.
However, Lille did not know the specific situation. His main focus at that time was shifted to Muramasa, and in the end he had to confront the Ye Group for no reason.
If you look at the direction of things from the perspective of conspiracy theory and the overall perspective, Lear will have a very bad guess:
The initial focus of the investigation is the soul killer of the Arasaka Group. And network surveillance has achieved a staged victory.
But the follow-up investigation suddenly turned to Muramasa, and was directly related to Blue Eyes. The confrontation came quickly and suddenly, as fast as halfway through a roller coaster ride when you suddenly discovered that this project was not actually a roller coaster, but a bungee jump.
And no matter how much Blue Eyes wants to control humans, this company is actually one of the sources of political support in Night City:
Land is the most basic production resource in the city, whether it is Anyone who wants to control Night City must confront the Ye Group at all costs, and Arasaka is no exception.
From a conspiracy theory point of view, Arasaka successfully escaped from a series of investigations. When the network supervisor gained an advantage, he was given a chance to breathe——
And severely damaged the network that may have been established earlier. Being late will definitely be an obstacle on their way to the Night City.
Whoever benefits the most will be the most suspect.
Arasaka happens to be the company that is best at conspiracy. If you look at it from the perspective of a native of this world, Arasaka Saburo is also the best in the entire "Cyberpunk" series. Top players are the main driving force behind the series' decision to turn the world into the broken state it is today.
Liel had a hunch that the information on this agent would be an important part of solving the mystery.
But
[Lille: You don’t want me to turn around and go back now, do you? Then I may need to prepare a few more nuclear bombs. 】
[Bryce: Do you still have it? ! 】
[Lille: Haha, just kidding. 】
[Bryce:? 】
The dissatisfaction was palpable, and through the network cable, he could feel that Bryce's blood pressure on the other side seemed to be rising sharply.
[Bryce: Our agents lost contact after being sent to the Badlands. I was wondering, don’t you have a few younger brothers in the Badlands? 】
[Bryce: The Internet Supervision Committee issues commissions in an official name, and it is direct, but I think]
[Bryce: The company doesn’t like to let me handle these tasks related to other companies, but I want to know the truth. 】
[Lille: Not bad, I feel rebellious. 】
Bryce didn’t reply: Is this a compliment? !
[Liel: Okay, I’ll tell them to make the Internet surveillance issue pornographic. 】
[Bryce: Huh? 】
[Click——]
The real-time communication ended, and Lille backed out of the car.
The Great Empire Mall is the most indispensable large-scale unfinished building in Taiping Prefecture. The interior space is large and deserted. The moonlight comes in from the open-air light well in the center of the building and shines on the muscles of the muscular men of the Animal Gang. .
The greasy sweat reflected the moonlight, making the bald heads of these macho men shine so brightly.
A strong man who had taken too many steroids and biological agents was sucking hard in the moonlight, trying to shake the arm in front of him.
This strong man is not ordinary: first of all, she is a woman with black hair.
Secondly, this woman looks to be a full two meters tall. The muscles on her body are as strong as steel. The blood vessels and tendons on the surface of her skin are as clearly visible as the wires on her body.
As she exerted force, these muscles and blood vessels expanded wildly. Looking at a certain part alone, it made people feel that these were not human muscles, but some kind of alien creature.
Her muscles are as strong as steel wires, pulling thick bones with excessive iron content. Her whole body is like a high-speed crane, and you can even hear a slight creaking sound when exerting force.
It's an arm wrestling match, and across the table is Jack.
Yes, she is having a hearty arm-wrestling contest with Jack across the table.
"Drink! Drink! Drink!"
Other members of the Animal Gang roared rhythmically, and if possible, they would smash the concrete blocks next to them as drum sounds. Those with better conditions directly picked up the steel bars on the ground and knocked on the discarded equipment next to them. The mixture of these sounds made people feel hot.
[Sender: Bryce]
[Bryce: By the way, how did you manage the Animal Gang? 】
【Lille: Rich and relatively high in muscle mass. 】
【Bryce: Huh? 】
Bang!
The woman's arm hit hard, cracking the concrete block used as a table and causing dust to fly!
The visual impact of this scene is extremely exaggerated: although Jack is already a strong man among ordinary people, the Savage King is a giant drug-induced, and his hands are estimated to be as big as Jack's head!
But.
But Jack is even eating!
Jack's face turned red from holding back, and he stuffed food into his mouth hungrily, such as pink burritos, stuffed rice tamales, and tofu tuna
The scene was completely silent, only waiting for Jack to chew crazily. sound. Excessive lizard serum and exaggerated eating have caused significant changes in Jack's mandible. If there is a biologist here, he can tell at a glance that the chewing range is no longer human, but in the eyes of the uneducated animal gang.< br>
At most, they thought it was some kind of prosthetic body!
And it’s a prosthetic body driven purely by muscle power!
"What the hell! This guy is the desert guy the NCPD calls you!"
A bald head among the group of strong men suddenly roared, and Jack had a burger in his mouth. Looking at the bald head, the bald head shrank instinctively.
V patted his shoulder and teased: "Now you have fulfilled this title."
Jack's opponent, known as the Savage King on the road, is also the leader of this group of animal gangs, and is actually an animal gang. The nominal temporary boss looked at his hand that was smashed into the concrete and his hand that was smashed to pieces, and his mind went blank:
What the hell?
This guy only had some strength at the beginning, so he mocked him by saying, "Didn't you eat?", and he nodded directly——
The opponent nodded and said nothing. When you go out, you can’t let people eat, right?
As a result, he started eating while exerting himself.
And the more you eat, the more energetic you become!
The Savage King is a pure animal gang, which means that except for the brain-computer interface and some communication devices, there is no prosthetic body at all. She has no way to specifically remember what she just saw.
But she felt
Is Jack stronger than before?
How many minutes does it take for these muscles to grow?
Jack didn’t care about that. He grabbed another box of whole burgers and ate them all in one gulp, including the outer carton packaging!
“Hiccup”
Jack patted his belly and gave Lear a thumbs up.
Yes, Jack's condition is back now.
The communication vehicle is available, the AI is available, and Jack has returned to his basic state. The Animal Gang.
The Animal Gang worked for the network supervisor for money. Now the network supervisor has run away, and Lear has pretended to be the network supervisor again. The people took over the car and promised to pay them wages
It made no sense to just meet them and even help them work.
Of course, all this is based on the fact that the Savage King is indeed an ill-informed savage.
She doesn’t even know that the current paralysis of the network is caused by the nuclear explosion.
Looking at her face full of shame and anger, as if nothing mattered except the loss of her muscles, Lear suddenly thought:
She might not even know that it was a nuclear explosion.
"That's not fair! Rematch!"
"What's unfair? My brother is dragging a bunch of broken implants to arm-wrestle with you. Look at him. This arm."
Liel raised Jack's arm. The pair of boxing gorilla arms entered repair mode with a slight touch, and all the parts popped out, revealing that they were a pair of prosthetics.
All electronic equipment is broken, and prosthetics are no exception.
Then the gold content is very high: theoretically there are no native muscle fibers in the gorilla arms!
Even if there is, it is only a very small part
Just this little bit can defeat her!
Liel took out a gadget that looked quite exquisite and said: "It just uses a little medicine and an auxiliary syringe. I can leave one for you after the work is done. Just prepare the money."
The Savage King looked at this thing. This thing was composed of metals of different colors, which seemed to indicate that it had very high-end functions, so high-end that it required strict planning of the metal strength of each area.
The screws and rivets appear firm and orderly, the edges are smooth, there are no unnecessary burrs, and they look quite comfortable.
Several slender wires and optical fibers are neatly wound and extended, covered under a layer of film, revealing a light blue shimmer from time to time, dimming and extinguishing like breathing, while the core part can Saw some kind of light green solution.
Advanced, quite advanced.
Especially the green solution, she vaguely remembered that Leer injected a small tube of that stuff before Jack started eating.
The Savage King rolled his eyes: "You still want to cut my leeks? It's free! I want it for free!"
Lil said with a fake smile: "This thing costs hundreds of thousands. ! This is the company's laboratory stuff! We worked hard to steal this!"
The Savage King sneered and stood up. He was really impressive at over two meters tall, especially with a man behind him! In the case of a large group of strong men.
Jack and V also stood in front, and it seemed that the atmosphere became tense.
In the tense atmosphere, Lear looked slightly angry, then waved his hand and walked to the Savage King. ——
The scene was a bit embarrassing. Lille was shorter than V. It was really awkward to stand in front of the Savage King
So he took a step back: "Okay, but I want to hire you for a long time. There are about ten people." About a day or so, and I may have to go to Dog Town, and this thing will be my salary.”
Savage Wang Yixi: Earn high-tech worth hundreds of thousands in ten days!
Made.
I am so damn smart and so damn good at bargaining.
Without changing his expression, the Savage King smiled triumphantly: "That's right, the boss should have more gold coins."
Liel shook his head and returned to the communication vehicle
Almost didn't laugh out loud.
[Muramasa: Is she a fool? You don’t want a salary, but you want a bunch of hand-made handicrafts? 】
Actually, what it wants to say is rags.
Except for a little bit of lizard serum, the "black technology implant" was real, and the rest was all made up of scraps picked up on the way here.
Liel closed the car door and finally couldn't help but laugh out loud -
Too smart, Savage King.
