Chapter 84 Four-eyed boy, he really deserves a beating
Even with Lin Mo's current calmness, it was still hard to conceal his inner excitement.
After all, it is also the network access warehouse left by the legendary figure in the hacker world in the past. In a sense, this is the artifact left behind by the max-level boss!
Lin Mo still vaguely remembers that during the mission, players could indeed obtain the legendary hacker's network access warehouse.
Even in the game, this network access warehouse, which is an unknown number of generations behind, had a virus program left inside that almost killed a powerful network hacker in the [Afterlife Bar].
All signs can prove the gold content of the legendary figure Bartmos. Even among the limited number of legendary figures in Night City, there is probably no one who can match him in terms of achievements.
After all, he is the man who destroyed the old network!
At this moment, Lin Mo seemed to realize something, and suddenly paused while pacing back and forth.
...Wait a minute, virus program?
His pacing back and forth stopped instantly, and the smile on his face suddenly solidified.
After standing quietly like this for a while, Lin Mo sighed quietly and sat back down.
Damn it, why is he so excited? Not even the internet hacker in charge of the Afterlife Bar can figure out the virus in the network access warehouse. Why is he, a "trash" with an intelligence of 4, still joining in the fun?
Unless he can improve his intelligence attribute in the future, I am afraid that only V who follows the hacker flow can clear the virus from that network access warehouse.
"Lin Mo, are you okay?"
Sasha frowned slightly and looked at Lin Mo, with a bit of confusion in his eyes, as if he was still thinking about why he behaved in such a strange way just now.
"It's okay, someone just sent me a message saying that I won the grand prize, but the next second they reminded me that I need to pay 5% tax to win the grand prize." Lin Mo said with a nonsense reason.
Sasha glanced at him suspiciously, obviously not believing his lies.
Based on the worth of the boy in front of him, how could a mere grand prize make him so excited?
Even though he knew that Lin Mo was talking nonsense, Sasha did not expose his meaning. Instead, he followed his topic and reminded:
“Scam text messages like this are very common, so don’t just believe them.”
Lin Mo nodded.
After talking to this point, the two of them seemed to be unable to find any topic to continue chatting about. Sasha sat quietly on the chair gently, eyes slightly narrowed, Lin Mo frowned slightly and lowered his head in thought, and the atmosphere between the two parties also became quiet.
stand up.
Instead, the hum of a vehicle engine came from nearby, interrupting Lin Mo's thinking.
He raised his head and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
A purple-painted Chevrolet drove from the road to the small parking lot. This sudden outsider also made the lively gathering of marginalized people become quiet.
Lin Mo even saw many marginalized people present deliberately lowering their voices, as if they didn't want to offend this outsider.
Who is it, the cards are so big... Lin Mo thought to himself.
The answer was soon revealed. A middle-aged man with white hair slowly stepped out of this expensive vehicle. He was wearing a straight suit and was full of momentum and dignity.
The red striped suit was neat and clean, and even the hair was combed to the last detail, which formed a sharp contrast with the dirty-clad fringe people present.
Although he was just watching from a distance, Lin Mo was deeply impressed by the domineering aura of the other party.
The most eye-catching thing is that three prosthetic eyes that are as narrow as snake eyes are implanted in the right eye socket of this man's face, adding a bit of gloomy temperament to him.
Lin Mo watched him quietly walking towards Mann, and a thought couldn't help but arise in his heart.
Damn, this guy looks so arrogant.
"Sasha, who is this four-eyed boy? Why is it that he is being dragged like someone owes him 1.8 million?" Lin Mo frowned, leaned slightly closer to Sasha, and asked in a low voice.
Sasha's eyes also stayed on the man in the suit. Facing Lin Mo's question, she also whispered back:
"His name is Faraday. He is the most powerful middleman in this area. He has cooperated with our team several times before. This time he came here to give Mann another commission."
This guy with the same prowess as 250 is the most powerful middleman?
Lin Mo frowned slightly. He had never heard of the other party's name in the game, and his appearance was indeed unique. It was hard not to leave a deep impression on others.
The four-eyed guy in red clothes who suddenly appeared had no idea what he was talking to Mann about.
Mann, who used to behave carelessly in the past, couldn't help but become a little more serious when facing this man, with no trace of a smile on his face.
It seemed that they just exchanged a few words briefly, and after saying everything they wanted to say, the four-eyed boy had no intention of staying here. He walked back to the car, the driver started the engine, and left the small parking lot after a while.
Lin Mo watched Mann standing there quietly, as if thinking about something.
After a while, Mann suddenly raised his head and walked towards Lin Mo.
To be precise, he was looking at Sasha.
"Sasha, I have something to talk to you about." Mann's face darkened.
Sasha glanced at Mann, then at Lin Mo, nodded to Lin Mo with a slightly apologetic expression, and stood up to talk to Mann alone.
"Is there anything you need to avoid telling me? That four-eyed boy has issued a new commission for you?" Lin Mo sat on the chair leisurely and looked at the two of them curiously.
Mann glanced at him and nodded calmly.
"Can you tell me, maybe I can help." Lin Mo suggested.
He generally would not let go of such entrusted tasks that he could participate in.
Whenever a task is entrusted, the process involves fighting and killing.
As long as there is fighting and killing, attribute points will be recorded in the simulator.
Completing tasks and attribute points have become an equation in Lin Mo's mind.
Mann looked at him for a long time, and finally sighed silently: "This commission cannot be known to outsiders."
"Outsiders? Where are the outsiders? Am I not your teammate?" Lin Mo smiled slyly:
"We are all marginalized people. Apart from limited acquaintances, temporary teammates are indispensable. As long as you choose me, I will keep it to your satisfaction."
Mann pondered for a while, wearing sunglasses, looking straight at Lin Mo, and then asked helplessly for a long time:
"My little benefactor, with your status, why do you always think about doing these things?"
"The reasons for this are complicated after all. Just think that I want to experience life. Anyway, as for the money, you can give it to me. I have my own plans." Lin Mo said with a smile.
"Think about it, there is such a 'big wretch' who has great fighting ability, provides his own salary and equipment, and the reward seems to be given, and wants to help, wouldn't you be tempted?" The young man's tone was full of temptation.
Mann was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to reply to the boy. This usually outspoken, cheerful and reliable man was rarely stumped.
Because to be honest, he was really moved.
Lin Mo's combat prowess was undoubtedly demonstrated in tonight's action, and his ability to kill people was obvious to all. He was able to use Si'an Westan more than ten times in a row, but the only consequences he suffered were dizziness and he could wake up after taking a nap. His talent was terrifying.
, which also made Mann sigh with emotion.
Anyone who looks down on this kid because of his age will definitely suffer a big loss...
Moreover, it would be easier to move if there was a person implanted in Si'an Westan to handle this commission.
In the end, Mann sighed, and his tall body made him lower his head and look down at Lin Mo:
"You win, Lin Mo, just this once."
Sasha stood aside and covered her mouth with a smile, looking at Lin Mo with a kind of friendliness in her eyes.
"Welcome to join the team, Lin Mo."
"It's not that I joined the team, I'm just a temporary worker." Lin Mo shrugged:
"Tell me, what is the content of the commission?"
"Follow me." Mann turned and walked towards his sports car.
Lin Mo and Sasha looked at each other and followed.
The three of them walked to the purple Gullard sports car. Mann sat on the hood of the car and said to the two of them:
"The commission Faraday just gave me is that the fewer people know about it, the better, and the number of people who can do this job must be limited."
Lin Mo frowned and asked: "So there are only three of us in this commission?"
"Yes, Dolio, Rebecca and Pyrrha, they don't need to get involved, remember not to leak it out," Mann said seriously.
"Then I'm curious about what this commission is." Lin Mo became a little more interested.
"Next Saturday, the biotechnology company building will undergo a comprehensive security system upgrade. At that time, there will be no employees left in the company. Faraday asked us to go in and obtain some information." Mann said slowly.
"It turns out it's an infiltration mission..." Lin Mo suddenly lost interest.
If it were an infiltration mission, there wouldn't be many people for him to kill.
"Company building...how do we get in?" Sasha asked.
"Don't worry about this. Faraday told me that he has an internal agent in biotechnology. On that day, he will give me the security access token of biotechnology and the jammer of the special channel. By that time, everything will be
It's up to you, Sasha." Mann stared at Sasha and said in a deep voice:
"The process of this mission should be very simple. Open the door, sneak in, and then steal the intelligence data. With a jammer and a security access token, no one will know that you have entered the building for a period of time. You
There is enough time to act, as for me and Lin Mo, we will meet you outside."
"Furthermore, Faraday also said bluntly that it would be okay even if he made some noise. This matter cannot be hidden in the first place. He will cover us afterward. Are you clear?"
Sasha nodded without hesitation: "I understand."
"What about you, Lin Mo." Mann asked.
Lin Mo nodded: "No problem."
Since he has promised to others, he can't stretch his hips.
"But this is to steal the company's information. Are you sure it's okay? Mann." Sasha frowned and asked in a low voice.
After all, if the information that needs to be stolen is a secret that biotechnology companies cannot tolerate being leaked, then their team will inevitably be settled by the future.
Even if the middlemen will cover for them for their own benefit, who can guarantee that this "cover" is 100% reliable?
"We have cooperated with Faraday many times before. There should be no problem this time. Besides, he also made it clear that the information that needs to be stolen this time is Chu Er's secret financial records and the prototype of a new immunosuppressant.
0.91 information." Mann put his fist on his chin and thought:
"Although I don't know what the use of this information is, it sounds like the biotechnology company will not be asked to find someone to liquidate it later. Besides, there is a high probability that they will not know what data we have stolen."
When Lin Mo heard this, he was amazed: "These information are not what ordinary people need. Who is that four-eyed boy working for? Is the client behind it a company?"
Mann glanced at Lin Mo and nodded slightly: "Yes, according to rumors on the road, that Faraday guy seems to be very close to military technology companies, and many of the commissions he entrusted are generous."
"Military technology? Aren't they in partnership with biotechnology?" Sasha asked.
"Who knows, these corporate dogs are very friendly on the surface and say they are working together to do big business, but they actually don't know what dirty things they are doing behind the scenes." Mann said disdainfully.
Lin Mo was thoughtful.
Listening to Mann and Sasha's narration, he also analyzed a lot of twists and turns behind this commission, so he gave his own opinion;
"Actually, there is nothing to guess about this kind of thing. Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance. No matter what company entrusted this entrustment to Faraday, they must not want to quarrel with biotechnology, so they can only entrust unrelated servants.
Soldier squads do the dirty work."
"Secondly, if the commission is successfully completed, Biotechnology will definitely think that other companies are causing trouble behind the scenes. In addition to making profits for the company, the stolen data and intelligence will also be used by other people to get these things, along with a pile of waste paper.
almost."
"As for the cooperative relationship? Well, in Night City, even relatives and friends may betray, let alone this kind of cooperative partnership that is maintained on the surface?"
Mann glanced at Lin Mo in surprise, smiled and nodded:
"The little sponsor is right."
Lin Mo smiled slightly, his eyes still on the ground, seeming to be thinking, but there was a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"So no matter how big the noise is during this commissioning process, after the incident is over, it will at best be regarded as a group of terrorists who attacked the company building and stole some equipment and money. The biotechnology company will not openly accuse us
Something was stolen."
"Yeah, these corporate dogs can't afford the stock price to drop. If the stock price drops rapidly, they will cry more sadly than if their parents died. Compared with being attacked by a big force and breaking through the company building, they will be beaten by a group of people.
It would be more dignified to attack with a group of terrorists."
Mann also laughed and said, when it comes to this, he also saw the secret behind it.
A big force attacks the company and they go to great lengths to create so many things. Even if you don’t lose much, who would believe it in the eyes of outsiders?
It is inevitable that stock prices will fall rapidly.
But if a group of terrorists attacked the building, the biotech company could just pretend that some property and prosthetic equipment had been stolen.
In this way, the stock price will fall, but at least it will not fall that sharply.
A commission to steal something, and so many things were involved, it was an eye-opener for Lin Mo.
"Don't worry too much. Anyway, with the equipment provided by Faraday, I believe that Sasha will be able to safely transmit the data back after sneaking into the building. This job should be easy." Mann grinned.
Lin Mo was infected by this heroic laughter and smiled too.
This is indeed the case. As a middleman, the four-eyed boy will never rashly deceive the marginalized people who help him do the work no matter what he says.
Since we have the security tokens and jammers provided internally, and there are no living people in the biotechnology company building that day, there is a high probability that there will be no problems in the infiltration operation.
But when the time comes, it would be safer to use a simulator to predict the outcome in advance.
