"Hey, Jack."

"What's wrong V, your tone doesn't sound good."

"Let's put it this way, I'm not happy, but it has nothing to do with our errands. You disturbed my beautiful moment."

Jack responded with a shocked voice, "Wait a minute, V, wait a minute, where are you?"

I looked around, "On the street, Kabuki Market."

"On the street? On the street or in an alley? In the car or outside? You can't be with Dexter..."

"one person."

"Oh, V, my dear V, you confused me, you said you were enjoying a wonderful moment alone in the street?"

"uh-huh."

"Is it that...I remember you didn't have this hobby before."

"Pull him down, Jack. Let's get down to business. Your fat black Jesus has really found us a hot job. Before that, we have to test our quality. There is a place called Whole Foods Factory. The Whirlpool Gang

In this area, they robbed military technology robots, Fatty asked us to go to Royce to get the goods, and also to meet the financial owner."

"Well, great (Spanish)..." Jack complained.

"What? Any clues?"

"Royce, that guy is definitely the most perverted of perverts."

"Ah, it seems that I will definitely have to do one by then."

"What are you going to do? Find the customer first, or get the goods first?"

"Let's take a look at our sponsor sister first."

"Okay, then I'll go check out the factory outside the Whole Foods factory first. Then call me when you're done."

Jack hung up the phone and T-BUG called again. I walked up and down the garbage-strewn streets and basked in the sun.

"Hey V, I forgot to tell you something. I know a hacker. You can go to her to get the goods. I left you some gadgets. The address has been sent to you."

When I looked at the address, I was happy. Isn't it just across the street? It's only a matter of three or two steps.

What T-BUG left for me is a quick cracking plug-in. In order to take care of laymen, here is a brief explanation. The quick cracking plug-in can be mounted in the network access warehouse and is part of the prosthetic operating system. For example, it is a mage.

Memorize the spell model in your mind and consume RAM when using it.

Through the prosthetic eye's scanner, the network access warehouse can quickly crack targets and devices.

In this era where everyone is equipped with a cybernetic body, the network access warehouse can easily connect to anyone, and then upload malicious virus software and encapsulated data packets. This is a quick crack. For those who have not installed a cybernetic body,

For humans, this kind of hacking method is useless - but how many people are there today who don't have prosthetics? In Night City, they are almost impossible to find.

What T-BUG left me is a plug-in called "Target Location". It can locate all connected devices and people in the LAN. It is an ancient and practical technology.

As a highly intelligent person, it makes sense for me to work part-time as a hacker, right?

I tried the newly obtained quick cracking plug-in, and the effect was quite satisfactory. The internal program structure of this basic plug-in is not very clever, but it is usable at most. In the upgrade system given to me by the surnamed Lu, I can

I found the expertise related to making plug-ins and immediately spent a few expertise points to upgrade it.

At that time, a lot of knowledge came back like forgotten memories. In a very smooth process, I successfully learned a lot of hacker-related knowledge.

It's really unfair. What others had to study hard for years, I now fully grasp in the blink of an eye.

Although today's technology is advanced, various virtual training modules can allow people to get started in a certain specialized field overnight, but such a divine improvement is really incredible, as if knowledge is written into me like data.

It’s like a brain equipped with a corresponding operating system, which is enough for me to understand knowledge and become an application expert at the same time.

What is the origin of the person named Lu?

What does he mean by "fate has opened its fangs"?

——Maybe I should have a good chat with him.

Simple experimentation has made me realize the huge power of the upgrade system, and now I am really, really hungry for experience points.

I thought, maybe I shouldn't rush to complete the task. Since there are still a few days before the official action, I should work hard and upgrade myself.

After I came up with this idea, the upgrade system interface suddenly transformed into a three-dimensional map of Night City, with a large number of task commissions and security emergencies appearing on it. These all guided me to take risks.

——Wait, was all this arranged by the bartender?

After I rushed to an unexpected crime scene and cleared out several Tiger Claw gang members who were robbing me, I suddenly felt that things were ridiculous.

On the map, similar mission icons continued to pop up, and some disappeared after a while, as if the world had turned into an amusement park, just waiting for me to go in and cause a scene.

——It's very exciting, but also very scary.

I couldn't help but call him.

After the call was connected, the man named Lu asked very coldly: "It's V, what do you want from me?"

"Lu Zongping, what exactly is this chip you gave me?"

"It's nothing."

"Wait a minute, I mean, this guy is so awesome. It's just... I can't explain it. It's just too awesome."

"You will know later. Do you have any questions? V?"

"Yes, this chip of yours is guiding me to complete the mission. What kind of trick are you playing?"

"Isn't it good? If you don't go around looking for trouble on the street, you will be thought of as a cyber psychotic."

"I just think it's very strange. The secret shown on the map...is it through what method? Satellite surveillance or something?"

"You'll know."

"I want to know now."

The bartender let out a low laugh on the day of the phone call, as if he was sarcastically speaking to me, "V, sometimes, it's okay to be a little stupid. You are a mercenary, a tool man. Do what you are supposed to do, and you don't have to feel confused. The so-called free will

, it has always been an illusion.”

He hung up the phone.

…

I think I need some time to adjust.

My good friend Jack called me to ask how long it would take. He had been hanging outside the Whole Foods factory for half a day.

"You should go home first and go back tomorrow."

"V, what's wrong with you?"

"I am fine."

Actually, I'm not fucking okay at all, I just don't know how to tell Jack.

In order to relieve this huge and inexplicable pain, I did not go home this night and walked alone through the streets of Night City. After nightfall, crime became more rampant. For Night City, crime is like dessert, available at any time.

It can be served anywhere. Of course, what you will eat then will not be sweet macarons and cheesecakes, but only hot pointed bombs paired with fiery pulse grenades.

After once again quelling the criminal activities of the gangs, hearing the grateful voices of the rescued civilians, and seeing the increased experience, I suddenly felt that all this was not bad. Maybe it was just like what the bartender said, sometimes be a little stupid
