When living in Night City, the most important thing is money.

If you don't have money, make money by working as a dog for the company or working hard in the city. There are two kinds of animals in the city: people are superior to people and people are subordinate to people.

I also really need money. Money can install more implants for me, and money can allow me to enjoy a luxurious life. The rich in Night City can spend money to make themselves immortal - by buying Arasaka's "

"Guard your soul" package, upload it to the Internet.

It sounds incredible. After all the poor people in this world die, these rich people will continue to live until the arrival of the Revelation.

However, I don’t want to engage in philosophy, and I’m not interested in social sciences. I don’t care about the future, and I’m not very attached to the past. The poverty now is visible and tangible.

Therefore, I will try my best to collect all materials that can be sold for money, including clothes and weapons of dead people.

Don't think there's anything embarrassing about this. This city just eats people up and wipes them clean, and their bodies will be thrown away casually - some of them are more sophisticated, like those Japanese who like to pour corpses into cement pillars and sink them into the sea. They're not very particular.

Just throw it into the garbage dump, and within two days it will be so rotten that the bones will become crispy.

Then someone may ask, Teacher V, is there a good civilization that does not throw away corpses?

some.

Scavengers and perverts like the Knife Society will dig out all the available organs and implants from the corpse. After processing, a pile of waste meat will be left, and then it will be simply disposed of, maybe chopped into bags and discarded.

It may be sold as cheap meat - it seems that similar things have happened. Although I have not experienced it personally, I have heard other friends say it.

Real meat is extremely expensive and everyone eats synthetic food.

Be wary of cheap meat - Teacher V declares.

…

As night fell, I returned to the Ritz Bar. The doorkeeper was still the same girl from the day. Behind the neon lights and steam smoke, her purple hair and southern hemisphere were still very unruly. She still recognized me, smiled at me and let me go.

It should be said that the atmosphere of this bar is good. As soon as I entered the door, the customer service at the front desk smiled and said: "Oh, it's not bad, you have such a little face!"

"You are a sister too." I winked at her.

"Hahaha, what are you doing here?"

"Find someone."

"Well, let's go in, and remember not to cause trouble. If you like someone, you are not allowed to go up and grab them directly. Place an order first, buy Mewtwo, and then find a private room by yourself. By the way, no secret photography is allowed, remember?

"

"Don't worry, I understand all the rules."

Cross the dance floor and go to the bar, which is a good place to ask for news. The light in the store is ambiguous, and the cool colors are mixed with hints of pink. The first impression you get is like a glass of sea salt watermelon soda.

I noticed the two women at the bar from a distance. A blue-haired girl was sitting sideways on the bar stool, her figure half submerged in the refreshing pink light, her long and straight legs crossed together, her calves

The arc is as beautiful as a plump cantaloupe, and her posture is as mysterious as the city's graceful decay.

Another woman leaned against the bar counter, holding her hands on the countertop, half relaxed, half alert. It reminded me of the antelopes basking in the sun that I had seen in documentaries. The shadow of the Night City is the sunshine, remember,

This is Teacher V’s mercenary philosophy.

I forgot about the business for a moment and went straight up and said confidently: "(????)??Hi"

"Who are you looking for?" Sister Antelope shook her green hair.

"If you're not looking for anyone, just come to the bar and have a drink."

"Then you just drink and why are you talking to us?"

"Drinking alone is so boring. I think you guys are quite interesting. Can we chat?"

"Sorry, I can't. If you want to be a bit messy, go out and find a sex doll to make yourself comfortable before coming back."

It’s really not cute. I squinted my eyes and used the prosthetic eye scanner to collect the information of these two people. Thanks to Lao Wei’s skills, my prosthetic eye scanner can be connected to the NCPD database, and basically all citizen information is included.

, available for review at any time.

——The green-haired sister’s name is Judy Alvarez, and the blue-haired one’s name is Evelyn Parker.

The financial backer of this operation was Evelyn Parker.

I smiled at Parker and said, "I'm here to find you."

"You are V, right?" She turned around, wearing a ladylike fur coat with a bold silver inner layer, "I noticed you as soon as you walked in, Madeo, please give it to me.

A drink, guest."

The bartender poured me a glass of Dionysus.

"I only drink this kind of tequila." I took a sip and put down the glass. "It seems you know me very well."

Evelin raised her head half-way, making the corner of her mouth seem to be smiling. Covered by thick eye shadow, her eyes also became meaningful, "I am used to finding out the other person's temperament before cooperating. Maybe I happened to be wrong.

"

I like this girl. Although she seems to be very scheming at first glance, scheming is a good thing, as it can help you stay in Night City longer and stay further away from the garbage dump.

"Let's talk about business, entrustment."

"Go to the lounge, Madeo, and if anyone asks, tell us you haven't seen us."

As usual, I will briefly summarize the next ten minutes of communication: Evelyn Parker wants us to go to the Kanbi Building to steal a Relic chip. The specific location is on the top floor, Arasaka Yorinobu's suite.

I still have to briefly introduce Arasaka Yorinobu. He is a very important figure, but based on his personality alone, he is a rebellious second generation: his father is Arasaka Saburo, the head of the Arasaka Group, so Yorinobu

He is equivalent to a prince, except that the relationship between father and son is not good.

I heard from Evelin that Yorinobu left Arasaka in his early years to pursue his dream. Now he is considered a prodigal son, but he is obviously restless. His father monitors him 24 hours a day and restricts him to death, and this time he wants to steal the Relic chip.

, Yori Xuan stole it from his own laboratory and sold it to network surveillance.

——What a loving father and filial son.

This is my temporary view of the Arasaka family.

The mission is clearly explained, and the next step is to check out: Normally we can't even enter the door of Kanbi Building, but this time it's different. Evelin provided me with a piece of information from Mewtwo that I can use to search Yorinobu's room.

To be honest, I personally don’t enjoy the feeling of entering Mewtwo, but it does not prevent Mewtwo technology from becoming the darling of the entertainment industry. Through Mewtwo, the experiencer can be immersed in the scene, feel the same emotions as the producer, and let the brain sink.

When you enter the illusion called Mewtwo, you can't tell where reality is. Compared to VR movies, the experience of Mewtwo is more multi-dimensional.

My understanding of Mewtwo is also limited, but this time, Evelin really opened my eyes. She found the top Mewtwo editor in the city to help me, so that I could observe the Mewtwo recording from a God's perspective and analyze it in disguise.

All available elements in the environment, including the specific location where Yorinobu hid the chip - the safe under the floor.

That Mewtwo editor was none other than the green-haired sister, Judy Alvarez.
