Chapter 38 Famous in the world, or unknown?

Despite so many years of word-of-mouth guarantee, Dexter is still very cautious.

He just called the two hackers to ask them to check the security here again before talking formally.

Gunmen always carry their guns, and hackers always carry their tools.

Weihe T-bug took out their food and carefully inspected every corner of the private room and everyone here.

After receiving double confirmation from the two hacker masters, Dexter cleared his throat and began to explain to the three brothers what they were going to do.

“A month and a half ago, Arasaka International’s crown prince Yori nobu suddenly flew from the Australian headquarters to Night City.

After that, he lived in the Chambi Building in the city and never left.

Based on our understanding, we can confirm that Yorinobu Arasaka stole their most advanced smart chip and then ran to Night City.

He wanted to sell the chip on the black market, so he kept contacting the big buyers.

What we have to do, or what you have to do is: find a way to sneak into his room and steal the biochip that is said to be quite powerful.

I have already contacted the buyer. As soon as I get the item, the chip can be cashed out immediately, and then everyone here has distributed it."

Dexter finished talking about the contents of his work in a few words, and then the box fell into a deathly silence.

Maybe she knew the inside story beforehand, or maybe she had a particularly strong heart. The female hacker T-bug still had that poker face without any expression.

Compared with her, the expressions of Jack's trio are much more complicated.

"Dexter, are you saying that this deal requires the three of us to deal with Arasaka Yorinobu, the only son of the boss of Arasaka International?"

"Jack, relax, why are you so nervous?

I’m not asking you to fight Arasaka Yorinobu with guns, you just need to sneak into his room and open his safe.”

"Are you sure that thing is in Kanbi Building?"

After answering Jack's question, Wei asked another question.

"Yes, that's right, that thing is in Arasaka Yorinobu's room.

The prince hasn't moved since he came to Night City. So I'm sure that the biochip is in the safe in the room."

"If that's the case, then it will be very difficult.

Although Kanbi Building is not Arasaka Tower, its security level is similar to Arasaka Tower.

It is impossible for just the few of us to enter Arasaka Yorinobu's room, let alone open his safe. This is technically impossible."

"You alone won't be able to do it, even if T-bug is added, and that's why Brother Flathead must be involved in this operation.

T-bug, you are a computer expert, please explain the technical issues to Wei."

Following Dexter's instructions, the female hacker who had been silent before began to speak.

"Wei is right, the security level of the Kanbi Building is indeed abnormal.

It's impossible for people outside to do anything, so we need someone to take Brother Flathead in.

Dexter will have a way to send you to a floor closer to the security center. Once you get there, Wei, you should have a way to send Brother Flathead into the control center, right?"

"Yes, I can do it.

This reconnaissance robot is really great. As long as there is a pipe, it can go in and out freely.

And it also has extremely strong stealth capabilities. Once it lies down, you can't find it even if it is in front of you."

"The Honey Badger robot is indeed a good infiltrator, but its solving ability is very average and cannot deal with the firewall of Cangbi Building, so I mainly use its bridging function.

As long as it can get close to the computer host in the Kanbi Building, I can establish a direct brain connection with it and then try to crack their firewall.

After taking control of Cangbi's host, I will interfere with their security system and create opportunities for you to attack.

This way you can easily reach Yorinobu's apartment on the top floor and take away the biochip he hid in the safe."

Hearing T-bug's explanation, Wei couldn't help but nod his head.

He is a hacker. Because he is quite famous in this field, he was recruited by Huangban International and became a company dog.

Because of this connection, people in the Weihe circle are familiar with each other, so he knows best the tricks of these famous hackers.

Among all famous hackers, t-bug ranks in the top 10 in terms of overall strength. This woman is especially good at technical cracking and is the most destructive offensive hacker.

Because he had fought against T-bug before, Wei knew the gap between himself and his opponent.

If this invasion plan was carried out by him, Wei would only have a 60% chance of winning at most. But now that it was replaced by T-bug, the chance of winning would be at least 80%.

"Do you have to use brain bridging? Is that too risky?"

After reviewing the female hacker's intrusion strategy, Wei found that he seemed to be able to question only this point.

All electronic devices in 2077 have become smart and miniaturized, so people can install them on themselves or even in their heads.

Hackers in this era no longer need to carry a laptop around; their brain is the CPU and hard drive.

If a hacker closes his eyes in front of you, it is not because he is being mysterious. He may be using the computing power of his brain to perform a complex calculation.

The so-called brain bridging is to directly connect the human brain to an external host. This method of cracking is the fastest and most dangerous.

Once the two parties are directly connected, it is equivalent to the king meeting the king, and this means that this time either the fish will die or the network will be broken.

Under normal circumstances, hackers who want to break into a certain host will still use the same old methods from half a century ago.

They will build many springboards and hide in the fog before attacking the opponent's host.

In this way, even if the opponent counterattacks, the hackers will lose at most some of the suspects, but they themselves will have time to escape unscathed.

"Wei, you don't have to worry about this.

As you know, those hackers in Arasaka are ruthless. If we use slow and conventional methods, it will increase the risk of exposure.

Instead of doing this, it is better to just use brain bridging. As long as you move faster, I will be safe."

Listening to T-bug's confident answer, Wei nodded silently.

As the female hacker said, whether the risk she takes is large or small depends on the person who goes in to steal the chip.

"Jack, once you get the chip, you must evacuate immediately. I will prepare a special Delama car with the highest security level downstairs of the Chambi Building.

As long as you can get into that car, no one can stop you. Even if the security guards in Chambi bombard you with cannons, you won't lose a single hair on your head.

Of course, what I just said is only the most extreme case.

With proper planning, you can leave Kanbi Building safely without even firing a shot.

After I get the chip from you, the rest is all mine.

I will be responsible for selling it at a good price, and everyone just waits to share the money."

After t-bug explained the technical part, Dexter explained how to retreat and how to sell dirt.

At this point, the details of this big deal have been announced. Judging from his confident look, it seems that he is not worried about Jack shrinking his eggs at all.

"Dexter, how much does the biochip you mentioned cost approximately? After this order is made, how much can we share?"

After thinking for a moment, Jack asked this very crucial question first.

"It's hard to say now. After all, prices on the black market also go up and down. All I can say now is that the thing can sell for at least 10 million.

Evelyn, you provided key information. According to the rules, you get 30%.

Jack, you and your brother go in to work, so you also get 30%, and the other 40% belongs to me."

"Ten million?!"

When reporting such numbers, the fat black man still looked lazy, but Jack and his friends couldn't help but straighten their bodies.

"Dexter, are you sure this is a big deal that will make you famous?"

After exchanging glances with the two brothers beside him, Jack asked again.

He was originally a person who liked to shout, but at this moment he was surprisingly calm.

"Haha, brother Jack, not only will this make you famous all over the world, I will ensure that you will gain both fame and fortune!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Dexter, we're done!"

"Great, I knew you and your brothers were up to great things.

Since we are doing something big, we must drink Johnny Silverhand.

Guys, let’s drink this and wish us success!”

After drinking a drink named after a terrorist for the second time today, Peacock left Dexter's box.

At this time, Dexter still had many details to finalize with Jack. The two of them needed to be alone for a while, while the others were free to move around.

"Peacock, Judy is here today. How about it? Do you want to go with me to see her?"

As soon as she left the private room, the top actress at the Ritz bar hooked up with Peacock.

Seeing that Wei and T-bug seemed to want to reminisce alone, Peacock followed Evelin.

This was the first time the two were alone together after that night. They had a tacit understanding and no one mentioned the embarrassing past, so the atmosphere was pretty good.

"Peacock, I just found out today that this is how much money you can make by being a middleman.

Look at Dexter, he is just making phone calls and pulling strings between you and me, but in the end he has to take the lion's share. This is really unfair.

How about we skip him?

In my opinion, I have information and someone among you can handle the matter without him.

As long as you agree, I'm willing to split it 50/50 with you, wouldn't this benefit everyone?"

"I'm not interested in this matter, you can find someone else."

Listening to the bold suggestion of the beautiful woman next to him, Peacock was neither surprised nor disgusted, nor did he show the look of Brother Pig who was inspired by color and soul.

"This bastard! He is definitely not a normal man! Does he treat me like nothing?"

Looking into Peacock's magnanimous eyes, Evelin knew that this man was not telling lies, which inevitably made her feel a strong sense of frustration.

"Haha! Your expression is so funny. I was just joking with you. Why are you so serious?

Forget it, I won’t tease you with the items, let’s go see Judy.

Judy, look who I brought here?"

As expected of a woman who has always been involved in romance, Evelin quickly reversed the awkward atmosphere between her and Peacock.

Following her greeting, Peacock saw the green-haired Judy Alvarez.

"How could it be you?"

When she saw the peacock, the green-haired girl raised her pretty eyebrows.

This was a pleasant little gesture, and the peacock couldn't help but be stunned by it. However, he reacted immediately.

"Hello, Dr. Judy, I didn't expect to see you here either."

"No, don't call me doctor. To be precise, I'm just a psychotherapist. I'm not an orthodox psychiatrist."

As if she was very taboo about others confusing her with a psychiatrist in the traditional sense, Judy immediately corrected the name Peacock.

Without waiting for Peacock to answer, Judy turned her head and looked at Evelin, and then she guessed the reason.

"Evelyn, is he doing something for you?"

"Yes, this Mr. Peacock is a newly famous figure."

"Evelin, do you definitely want him?"

"What's wrong with this?"

"Actually, it's nothing. I'm just worried about Mr. Peacock's mental state."

It's definitely offensive to say to a person's face that they have mental problems, but Peacock couldn't be offended.

Not long ago, he collapsed in front of this girl. If it hadn't been for the psychotherapist's intervention, Peacock didn't know that he could return to normal.

"Peacock, have you slept normally recently?"

"normal."

"Will you have nightmares?"

"No."

"Have you ever had any auditory hallucinations or hallucinations?"

"Won't."

"Do you suddenly have weird thoughts, the kind of weird thoughts that can scare you?"
