Tangji was sitting alone in a booth at the Afterlife Bar, tasting the sweetness of revenge. Surte originally wanted to come, but Anthony called him away on the pretext of teaching him how to fly a helicopter.
Anthony knew that Tang Ji needed to be alone at this time. During the day, he saw Tang Ji pick up part of their skulls from each corpse as a souvenir.
Even by mercenary standards, Tang Ji's performance was excessive, and he himself did not shy away from this.
Tang Ji was leaning on the sofa. There was a glass of ice water and a glass of strong wine on the table. Five skull remains were placed side by side in front of the water glass.
Rogge looked anxious and passed by the booth where Tang Ji was sitting. He hesitated for a moment and did not bother him.
Tang Ji picked up the skull that belonged to Michael. The bone was almost soaked with pulp. He threw the skull into strong wine and rinsed it. He took it out and wiped it carefully with a clean cloth.
This was the first player he killed. At that time, he didn't know anything about the existence of players, and he was so decadent that he wanted to die with the people of Losas organization.
But it was the appearance of Michael V. Michael that allowed Tang Ji to know the truth behind the world and who should be blamed for Angelina's death.
It was also him who gave Tang Ji his first supernatural ability, [Revolver Revival].
Thinking of this, Tang Ji took out his gun from his waist. This weapon that brought countless beautiful memories to his enemies had now become scarred.
Tang Ji used this weapon as a melee weapon more than once, and even used it to block bullets and blades. If the Prelude itself was not a revolver with a simple and reliable structure, it would have stopped long ago.
He skillfully dismantled the prelude, threw the parts together into a wine glass, washed them, and then fished out the parts one by one and placed them on the table to dry.
Next came the second skull. If his name hadn't been written on the hunting list - Stephen Winter, Tang Ji wouldn't even have had any impression of him.
Okay, now he remembered that a rookie died playing football. Tang Ji blew on the skull fragments, wiped them carefully and put them aside.

, price 100 points after discount)]
This is the last proof that poor Stephen remains in the world. He only has an ability of LV1. The person who came to him to test Tang Ji must be quite stingy.
Next, was today's trophy. Tang Ji threw the skull fragments belonging to Jon Eddie into the wine glass, and the liquor quickly turned red.
A cannon fodder, but with some ability. He seems to have undergone a long period of training, but this cannot hide his nature as a rookie.
However, considering that Karkarf said that they can live for a long time, it is understandable that these players at least have enough time to learn what they are interested in.
However, a cowardly person, no matter how hard he arms himself, still cannot make up for his inner weakness. Jon needs more courage and cannot take chances to become a real man.
Tang Ji helped him avoid this trouble. He took out the skull fragment from the wine glass, wiped it clean, carefully trimmed the shape with a knife so that it would have the same shape as the previous two pieces, and carefully punched holes and set them aside.

Tang Ji is very fond of the ability of [Discover Weaknesses]. He has encountered many enemies that bullets cannot defeat. Perhaps this ability will give him more choices.
He picked up the fourth skull, threw it into the turbid wine glass, shook it, took it out, wiped it clean, and began to shape and punch holes.
This skull belonged to Isa Boone. Before her death, this woman killed three mercenaries and almost injured Soult.
Although his emotions broke down a bit quickly, at least he showed his abilities in a real sense.

Just as Tang Ji thought, it was a good ability, but unfortunately it had to be activated with a female voice, and it also had to be high-pitched. Under various restrictions, its only use was to enrich the relic library itself.
Tang Ji picked up the last skull and threw it into the wine glass. This was a generous donation from Ronny Brick. At least he stood bravely in front of his teammates without giving in at all.
Of course, it's possible that he didn't make it in time, but at least it didn't insult his ability.

Reinforcement (LV2) (the original ability of the body, can be upgraded): strengthen the solidity of inanimate objects in a short time through touch, priced at 400 points (enjoy the complete termination discount, the price is 200 points after the discount)]
A good ability. Tang Ji could almost imagine how many conveniences this ability could bring, such as reinforcing light body armor and giving it a defensive effect that surpassed that of heavy body armor.
Judging from the situation on site at that time, the LV2 level of reinforcement capability can turn a car door made of engineering plastic into a heavy-duty explosion-proof shield, which has great potential.
Tang Ji threaded the polished skull pieces together and opened his personal interface.

Looking at the points he had accumulated, Tang Ji only hesitated for a second between offense and defense before choosing to purchase the new ability [Discover Weaknesses].
With more and more superhumans around him, Tang Ji's attitude towards superhumans has gradually returned to normal. He has realized that what he looked down on all along was just scum.
Scum does not distinguish between races. The difference between superhuman scum and ordinary scum is that the former sometimes needs to waste a few bullets.
Of course, this new ability may allow Tang Ji to save some bullet money...
Different from the previous ability to purchase [Revolver Revival], this time, Tang Ji could clearly feel his eyes reacting strangely, with a slight burning sensation in the soreness.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and waited for thirty seconds before he finally regained his composure.
Tang Ji looked at the completely turbid wine glass. A second later, a vertical line marked with a white highlight light suddenly flashed on the surface of the wine glass.
He stretched out his prosthetic leg and flicked it lightly at the white line. The wine glass made a crisp crackling sound and broke into pieces.
"Fortunately, I always thought you were going to drink that thing." Rogge finally lost his patience and sat directly opposite Tang Ji. He snapped his fingers and asked the waiter to come in and clean up the table: "That cup is for you."
on the bill.”
"A total of eleven people died in today's operation, and nine others were seriously injured. Including pensions and medical expenses, you need to pay a total of 7.92 million federal coins." Rogge looked at Tang Ji and took out a
A shocking bill: "I don't know how long you plan to fight Losas, but I must warn you, these people are just mercenaries."
"Even if one-third of them are half as determined as you, you have to consider that the morale of these people is not that high." Rogge frowned and said: "Nearly half of the teams that had a firefight today
The entire army was wiped out, and this casualty rate has exceeded the limit they can bear."
"I know." Tang Ji sent a message to Aaliya. The next second, Rogge's cell phone rang, and all the 7.92 million commission had been received.
"Well, at least you can pay generously enough, which can make up for the morale of the mercenaries." Rogge put away the bill and asked again: "So, what are your plans?"
"There is no plan, this is a war, no one can stay out of it." Tang Ji began to assemble the prelude: "It's just that I started earlier, and you will realize this soon, maybe a year? Maybe more
, if I were you, I wouldn’t treat money like money from now on.”
"I think you've gone completely crazy." Rogge didn't believe this nonsense at all. She didn't believe that a small terrorist organization could cause such a big wave, nor did she believe that a small former law enforcer could stand at the top and predict the future.
situation.
But Tangji's willingness to spend money still worries Rogge. She plans to stock up on gold, weapons, ammunition, and food just in case.
"Will you continue to search the whole city tomorrow?" Rogge confirmed with Tang Ji again: "Seriously, you should hire people from the Law Enforcement Bureau to do this kind of work. They can directly station at the border inspection station and rely on these mercenaries to reward you.
Golden Hunter relies on intuition, which is too inefficient."
"I can't trust people from Green Wave Lake." Tang Ji shook his head. He was wary of official organizations and big companies. God knows which departments and companies naturalized people have infiltrated in recent years.
If this job is left to the Green Wave Lake Security Group, they can open a back door for the Blazers alone, avoid all sight, and let them knock on Tang Ji's door directly.
"I still have some information here from informants. Some of them look similar. You can judge which ones are valuable." Rogge handed the folder in his hand to Tang Ji: "I tried my best to rule out the possibility.
of disinformation, but you have to bear the risk of spending money to buy disinformation.”
"Money is not a problem." Tang Ji took the folder and flipped through it page by page. In fact, he sent these documents to Aaliya and Wu Qianying through the camera for review.
"In that case, I won't disturb your alone time." Rogge had achieved all her goals and decisively left the booth. She still had a lot of things to do.
For example, contact the family members of the deceased, transfer the pension to the corresponding account according to their last wishes, provide the wounded with the best medical services as possible, and ask for their opinions to determine whether they need to take the opportunity to implant prostheses.
After all, it’s not always the case that such a generous boss pays the bill without looking at it.
After this battle, Tang Ji will surely become the top legend in Night City, and Rogge's reputation as a middleman will reach unprecedented heights.

"Yes, I have settled down in Night City, and I am collecting information about Tangji." The mysterious man staying in the hotel was communicating with Kathy Walter, the head of the Pioneer Federal District.
"I'm sorry to hear this news. This is an unprecedented loss. The loss of three people. I hope it will not cause unnecessary impact on the soul matrix and storage sectors." The mysterious man said calmly: "Thank you for telling this news personally.
, I am aware of all risks."
"Yes, I am willing to take these risks." The mysterious man continued: "But I think it is necessary to increase the risk factor of this mission. I think 3.76 times is an appropriate number."
"No, I don't want to bargain with you, this is the final number." A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of the mysterious man's mouth: "I need these contribution points, so that before the next major node task starts, I can be on an equal footing with you, no
People would pass up an opportunity like this.”
"Yes, I'm a bastard." The mysterious man's smile became even brighter: "Kathy, don't get excited. I know you are at the end of your rope. If you don't make a decision quickly, Aslan will come here to replace you. You
Time is running out.”
"I am very grateful for your generosity and your willingness to use part of your income to subsidize the task. This is something I cannot do." The mysterious man put the phone away from his ears to prevent his eardrums from being shaken by the other party's roar.
After a few seconds, he came closer to the phone again: "Very good, we have agreed. Trust me, I am a professional, I am not a rookie."
"Besides, whether I succeed or die, it will be good for you, right?" The mysterious man finally said, "This is a good deal where you can definitely make a profit without losing anything."
