"Mr. Lin, I hope you can understand that I am a middleman. There are many people who want to discuss business with me every day. I also hope that what you want to talk about next will not waste my time."
After hearing Lin Mo's words of reluctance, Regina also demonstrated her professionalism as an intermediary very well. She was not in a hurry to hang up the phone and waited patiently for Lin Mo's next words.
"This matter is mainly about cyberpsychosis."
Lin Mo stated his purpose directly and briefly.
Regina frowned imperceptibly, pondered for a few seconds, and then said as if she had revealed a secret:
"You want to ask me in a roundabout way, why am I, as a middleman, studying cyberpsychosis? And you also want to know how to treat this so-called incurable disease?"
Lin Mo was startled, and when he came to his senses, his expression gradually became solemn and serious.
He didn't expect that this middleman in Watson District, who had never been masked before, could see his two purposes at once.
I thought that with the plot and various side tasks in the game, he would know the identity and personality of the Chinese middleman in advance, and he would not be at a disadvantage in the negotiation no matter what.
Now it seems that the other party is indeed the same Regina who is decisive in doing things and very concise in talking.
I once worked in the media industry, so it was by no means a fuel-efficient job.
Compared with the other intermediary, Wakako, the other party's conversation style is completely different. The former is more capable, while the latter is more gentle.
Hearing Lin Mo's delay in replying, Regina also chuckled and continued:
"It's okay to tell you this, but what benefit can I get from it?"
Sure enough, no matter how positive the middleman is, he cannot blurt out any information like Silly Baitian.
Lin Mo was not surprised by what she said. It would be better to say that Regina would put forward her conditions in this way, which was more in line with his wishes.
"I can promise to provide you with financial assistance in researching how to treat cyberpsychosis." Lin Mo said sincerely.
Regina's astuteness surprised him, and he had to adopt another method to negotiate.
But that's okay.
The plot and evaluation of this middleman in the game tend to be positive, and the character of this Chinese-American woman is absolutely guaranteed.
Instead of beating around the bush and negotiating hypocritically, it is better to directly state your side's interests and conditions and put everything on the table.
He is also willing to treat such principled people according to his own principles.
Sincerity is the best weapon.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and Regina seemed to be thinking about the reliability of the boy's promise, but then she thought that the other party could ask people from the Mox Gang to do things for him, and he must have a lot of resources on hand.
Although I have never heard of the other party's name on the road, judging from the other party's age, it is unlikely that he has a deep city. If analyzed rationally, the other party is willing to make a promise, and the credibility is quite high.
"It's a very tempting proposal. I have to say that I'm moved. I can tell you some information from my side, but accordingly, you have to confess your purpose. If neither of our goals goes against yours,
My values, then I can treat you as a partner." Regina said simply.
"What purpose can there be in treating cyberpsychosis? Isn't it all about helping those poor people?" Lin Mo laughed softly:
"As a middleman, you are so well-informed. You should know where the members of the Terrorist Mobile Team come from. The rumor on the street...many members of the Terrorist Mobile Team were cybermaniacs in the past..."
"There is indeed this rumor, but I can tell you that this rumor is indeed true. However, we don't know how the ncpd gang did it, so I considered starting to study cyberpsychosis." Regina said:
"But I guess your purpose is definitely more than that."
Lin Mo smiled and didn't deny it, but he didn't admit it either. He just calmly stated:
"Reciprocity is reciprocated, now it should be your turn."
The implication is that now it is Regina's turn to talk about her own purpose.
Regina said briskly:
"Well, first of all, I have to tell you that I used to work in the media industry and have been exposed to many incidents of cyber lunatics. Unfortunately, as you said, they are all poor people."
"I care about these poor people very much, for many reasons. Someone recently told me that cyberpsychosis can be cured. Although the treatment plan that person said has not been verified, it is better than killing people."
Lin Mo listened calmly, with some doubts in his heart.
The current time point is 2075, which is two years earlier than 2077, the time when the plot in the game begins.
During this period of time, Lin Mo was not surprised that Regina had become a middleman in Watson District.
After all, in the game plot of 2077, he is almost the top middleman in Watson District.
Without several years of hard work, she would not have been able to join the ranks of top intermediaries all of a sudden.
Lin Mo was confused mainly about other aspects.
——As for Regina’s side mission of trying to cure cyberpsychosis, wasn’t it only started in 2077?
It’s not surprising that she has this idea now, but why did she wait until two years later to start the plan?
Did his act of sending that cyberpsychopath into the hands of the other party invisibly promote her progress?
Fortunately, the above two questions only lingered in his mind for a short time, and Regina's next words instantly relieved Lin Mo's doubts.
"The cybermaniac you sent to me happens to be the treatment staff for the first case, but unfortunately, we lack funds, large amounts of funds..."
Regina's words paused for a moment, as if giving Lin Mo time to think.
"In addition, there are still many things that have not been dealt with, such as the original location of the medical research institute, relevant data of various cyber lunatics, etc. To be honest, we are only in the initial stage of research now."
No wonder!
Lin Mo suddenly realized.
No wonder this research plan was delayed until two years later.
This kind of plan to research, diagnose and treat cyberpsychosis will take a lot of time to prepare.
So it wasn't until 2077 that Regina could finish all the preparatory work that needed to be done?
So that the last remaining problem is the lack of relevant sample data for cyber maniacs?
It is precisely because of the lack of relevant samples that the big wronged species V was hired to help, and the big wronged species was asked to knock out the cyber lunatics from all over the city and kidnap them back.
The more in-depth the conjecture went on, the more reasonable Lin Mo felt.
"In other words, someone came to deliver me a pillow as soon as I dozed off," he said with a chuckle.
The financial assistance he just proposed must have hit the target.
"In a sense, it is true. Although I am very confused about why you can know these things, if you are really capable of providing help, I don't need to delve into it." Regina also smiled slightly.
"Actually, in my opinion, most of the issues you just mentioned can be summed up in one word, money."
The corners of Lin Mo's mouth curled up in pleasure. Isn't this what he is best at?
"As long as you have money, your friend can hire other professionals to help cure cyberpsychosis, rent a better research institute, and purchase any needed treatment equipment and equipment..."
"That's a good summary, what do you think?" Regina's tone sounded a little expectant.
"I can provide you with financial assistance, but I must take a dominant position in the progress of mental illness research, the right to speak about research projects, the right to know, etc., as well as subsequent funding."
Lin Mo's tone was solemn and he put forward his own conditions.
"The other thing is the cyber lunatics who have been successfully cured. When they become normal people, I also have the right to ask them about their future plans, and they can do things for me if they voluntarily do so."
Regina was startled and immediately understood Lin Mo's true intention.
"Is this your real purpose? To cultivate a mobile terrorist team of your own?" she asked.
"No, I just lack the right manpower to do the job. And as I said just now, whether these cyber lunatics are willing to work for me depends entirely on their decision. And I guess you definitely have similar ideas." Lin Mo continued.
Bullshit.
"You are a middleman, not a philanthropist. I think you have your own ideas like me about how to arrange these cyber lunatics after they are cured. Am I right, Ms. Regina?"
"Well, I do have my own reasons and reasons." Regina admitted frankly without hiding her purpose.
"Isn't this good? You have your secret, and I have mine. We don't disturb each other, and we sincerely cooperate to achieve a win-win situation." Lin Mo said in a gentle tone, like a devil trying to persuade others.
"You must know that what you spend is connections, while what I spend is money... In the City of Night, money is almost omnipotent."
Regina pondered for a while, then finally exhaled slightly and said in a serious tone:
"It seems I have to take back my prejudice. You are definitely not as innocent as you appear."
"Many people say that." Lin Mo said with a smile without comment.
"Your request is not excessive, and I can agree to it. But on the other hand, Mr. Lin, when do you plan to provide the first funding for the research project?" Regina asked.
"I will ask my subordinates to hand over the money to you later. You only need to provide an address." Lin Mo thought for a while and replied.
This kind of large-scale fund transfer cannot be transferred casually through the Internet. At the very least, it must be transferred in person.
When playing games in the past, Lin Mo still wondered why after completing the tasks assigned by the middleman, sometimes the rewards would be transferred directly through the Internet, and sometimes the players would have to go to the storage point to pick them up in person.
Now he no longer has such doubts. Firstly, it is better to withdraw money in person at the deposit point because it is secretive and safe and will not leave traces on the Internet. Secondly, large amounts of transfers will arouse the prying eyes of people with ulterior motives.
Regina didn't hesitate and casually gave an address.
"I got it. I'll have someone go over and transfer the money to you later." Lin Mo nodded and politely said goodbye:
"If nothing else, let's end this conversation here. Now you have no questions about me, Ms. Regina."
However, to Lin Mo's surprise, Regina suddenly asked:
"Since you have people under your command, do you know some fringe people who can show their strength?"
"Huh? Why do you ask that?" Lin Mo was stunned and asked in confusion.
Sister, aren’t you the middleman?
Why are you asking me about this matter of finding mercenaries and marginalized people who can do the job?
"Since you have already joined the gang, there is something I must inform you about." Regina said in a deep voice:
"I got news here that Moore Technology seems to have reached a cooperation with Arasaka Corporation and has conducted some unknown research in the Arasaka Beach area. The news I got here is that these researches are also related to Cybermaniacs.
, they seem to be artificially creating cyber lunatics and then using them in mysterious experiments."
Lin Mo blinked and suddenly recalled the information he got from the home of Moore's technology director.
——Moore Technology’s latest violent component seems to have been developed using Cybermaniac as an experimental product.
But haven’t their products already been developed?
Why is it still related to Arasaka Company?
"So, what do you want to do?" Lin Mo asked immediately.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Regina’s tone was solemn:
"The credibility of this information is very high. With your financial assistance, the only remaining problem with our plan is the lack of cyber maniacs for research. I only have the one you sent over."
Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and quickly understood Regina's thoughts:
"Do you want to send people to sneak in and rescue the cyber madman they are using for research?"
"Yes, I know this matter is difficult to handle, so there are currently no suitable manpower." Regina said a little embarrassed.
"However, the number of cybermaniacs used to verify the treatment plan is second. I want to obtain the research data stored within the institute. Those data may allow us to make a qualitative leap in the progress of treatment."
[To be honest, I have been using the Huanyuan app recently to read and catch up on updates. It allows me to switch between sources and read aloud with many sounds. .huanyuanapp is available for Android and Apple.]
It's really difficult... Lin Mo sighed quietly.
No, not only is it difficult to do, it is simply as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Arasaka Company, one of the overlords of Night City, can be associated with this company, so one can imagine the difficulty of this task.
Moreover, we have to rescue the cyber lunatics who have fallen into madness... You must know that in the game, almost every one of these lunatics can be picked out individually and serve as mini-boss for players to bully.
Although there is a high probability that the researchers will treat the cyber madmen used for research harmlessly, they are still extremely dangerous time bombs after all.
Who can guarantee that there will be no accidents during their rescue?
However, Lin Mo still admired Regina's intelligence network.
Even he would have to sneak into someone else's house to obtain this kind of confidential information.
On the other hand, Regina, Moore Technology and Arasaka Corporation's research on the [Arasaka Beach] in Watson District were able to find flaws.
Even if the other party is not yet the top middleman in the Watson area, I'm afraid it's not far behind.
"I don't have to force this matter. I understand the danger of the task. If you don't have the right manpower, forget it." Regina sighed rarely.
"No, I think we can give it a try." Lin Mo asserted.
He has a simulator that allows him to know in advance how things will turn out the next day. No matter what the outcome is, he will never suffer a loss as he has many opportunities for trial and error!
No matter how dangerous the task is, as long as the plan is properly arranged, there is a chance of success.
"Are you sure?" Regina asked.
"I have a certain degree of confidence, but it also takes a certain amount of time to prepare and plan the infiltration plan. You are the middleman, so you can't let all my people go in and send them away." Lin Mo replied with a chuckle, in his tone
Full of confidence.
"That's good, then I will hand over all the information I have to you, and you can choose the right people to complete the task. Of course, I won't just watch from the side, your people will be responsible for the task.
, I will be responsible for finishing the work and making sure you don't get into trouble." Regina finalized the division of labor in just a few words without any delay.
"It's better to have more information, otherwise we will be headless flies after sneaking in." Lin Mo suggested.
"You don't need to tell me, I will arrange it. I wish us a happy cooperation, Mr. Lin Mo." Regina said in a relaxed tone.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Lin Mo replied with a smile.
