Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 109 New Minister (thanks to 'Rama Kai')
rainy night.

It was chilly.

In Laowei's underground prosthetic body clinic, Tang Yu stopped the follow-up examination of Sasha in time.

Although Lao Wei didn't know why, he seemed to realize that something was wrong, and immediately put away his hands operating the screen.

The two stared at each other for a moment.

Tang Yu looked a little dignified, and said bluntly: "Old Wei, just confirm that there is no problem."

Lao Wei didn't ask much, just nodded, and began to click on the screen to exit the visit.

After Tang Yu and other connected devices exited safely, he removed the nerve data cables from Sasha's neck and wrist.

"Sasha, wake up."

Hearing Tang Yu's soft call, Sasha's neon eyes opened, flickering, and said after waking up.

"Sasha, it has been confirmed to exit the highest authority mode."

Sasha woke up quickly, sat up from the operating table, his expression returned to normal, and then thanked Lao Wei politely.

"Mr. Wei, thank you!"

Lao Wei just laughed dryly, no one had called him that before, waved his hand and replied: "Just call me Lao Wei, Tang has always called me that, after the examination, you are very healthy."

Sasha looked very happy after listening, and looked at Tang Yu for confirmation: "Mr. Tang, is this true?"

Tang Yu nodded affirmatively.

Sasha got up and left the operating table, walked to Tang Yu's side and was very happy: "As long as Sasha is healthy, he can continue to serve Mr. Tang well!"

Lao Wei just smiled and said nothing.

Tang Yu raised his hand and touched her cat's head, and then said, "Take out the bionic sclera crystals. Since they are all here with Lao Wei, let's implant them together."

Sasha immediately took out the small box from his pocket, and handed it to Old Wei with both hands.

Lao Wei opened the box and took a look. Inside was a pair of bionic sclera crystals soaked in sterile liquid, which were also high-end optical implants produced by Crossroads.

It's just that this set of bionic sclera is placed in the safe area in front of the lens of the native human eye. It can be implanted or detached. It is only suitable for the native eye. It is expensive and usually customized.

Tang Yu introduced: "This pair of bionic sclera is adapted to the Sasha vision system."

Lao Wei picked up the box and walked to the workbench behind him, laughing while preparing surgical implant tools.

"With this pair of bionic sclera, the basic functional modules can also be incorporated, so that when you are inconvenient to wear glasses, you can also use the bionic sclera."

"The bionic sclera is brand new, and there is no problem. You sit on the operating chair first, and it will probably take less than five seconds. It can be done in a blink of an eye."

Tang Yu took off his glasses and put them away, and sat directly on the operating chair, half leaning on them, intending to hand over full authority to Lao Wei: "Okay, Lao Wei, you can do whatever you want."

soon.

Lao Wei walked over with the bionic sclera, sat on a chair to operate the screen, then pulled a robotic arm and pointed the probe at Tang Yu's eyes.

"Just stare at the picture in the aperture, don't blink, just stick to it for five seconds."

"Okay, it's done."

Before finishing a sentence, the bionic sclera has been implanted into the lens of the eyeball, which can be called femtosecond.

Lao Wei moved the robotic arm and asked, "How do you feel?"

Tang Yu blinked and found that there was only a slight foreign body sensation, but he quickly got used to it.

In the line of sight, various data prompts and light blue text descriptions began to appear.

【User information confirmed】

【Tang Yu】

【Employee Number: NC770416】

Tang Yu looked at Lao Wei.

【Victor Victor】

【Occupation: Doctor of Prosthetic Clinic in Little Chinatown, Watson District】

[Remarks: Former Devil Boxing Club professional boxer]

He looked at Sasha again.

【Sasha Yakovleva】

【Position: Special Assistant】

Tang Yu felt that the basic functions were not seriously affected, so he said: "Everything is normal, and there is no problem with the auxiliary imaging."

Sasha on the side was a little excited: "Mr. Tang, after Sasha recognizes your bionic sclera, you can open the visual connection with Sasha."

"And you can use the hacking function that Sasha has mastered more directly through the sclera."

"Sasha can also serve you better and in a timely manner!"

Hearing Sasha's active introduction, Tang Yu understood what Michiko said, and it was indeed true.

Sasha's functions and functions can really make up for Tang Yu's shortcomings in this area.

Lao Wei reminded: "The main function of the bionic sclera is to assist. The running memory is not enough to support advanced hacking functions, and it can only store a small amount of information. You really need a good helper like Sasha."

Tang Yu nodded, Lao Wei was telling him that this pair of sclera would not record what he saw and said, and was essentially just a carrier of auxiliary functions.

That being the case.

He felt relieved to use it, but he didn't expect to bother Lao Wei again.

Tang Yu stood up from the operating chair, and he was not polite to Old Wei, and joked: "Old Wei, I owe you another debt. If this continues, your land will almost become my private clinic. .”

Lao Wei cleaned up the work surface again, reset and shut down the relevant instruments, then turned around and said: "Anyway, there is no big order, you come here often, and treat this place as your own home. Besides, you are cleaner than anyone else, and I want to earn money from you." Earning prosthetic money is harder than gambling on a boxing match."

Tang Yu smiled helplessly: "That's right, I don't have much chance to take care of your business, but recently my wallet is quite solid. When I have time, I will make an appointment with Jack and go to Santo Domingo to watch the boxing match. I treat you."

Lao Wei went to the counter at the old location, sat on the sliding stool again, looked at Tang Yu and Sasha, and said with a smile: "Okay, when you are not so busy, we can make an appointment. I have a lot of free time."

Tang Yu knew that the reason why Laowei's prosthetic body clinic was not so prosperous was that he never accepted threats from gangs, took over some cheap black prosthetic bodies from scavengers, and refused to do those prosthetic body surgeries against his will but huge profits.

In short, Lao Wei's heart is as peaceful as his person, and as tough as his technique.

Tang Yu also didn't want to break Lao Wei's life, repeating every day, calm and slightly monotonous.

Everything is fine.

The matter of coming to Lao Wei tonight has been done, and Tang Yu will stop bothering.

"Okay, old Wei, I won't bother you and continue watching the boxing match. Let's make another appointment when we find time."

Lao Wei waved his hands at the two of them: "Let's go, it's raining heavily, don't get wet and catch a cold."

Done.

Lao Wei was immersed in the world of boxing again, as if the wind and rain outside the house had nothing to do with him.

Sasha followed Tang Yu and said goodbye to Lao Wei.

"Old Wei, next time Sasha will ask you to make an appointment to watch a boxing match for Mr. Tang, bye!"

After all, Tang Yu led Sasha out of the Laowei Prosthetic Body Clinic, returned to the Misty Divination House through the back door, and said goodbye to her.

Sasha likes Misty very much, especially the mysterious and fun Tarot cards, so she deliberately stepped forward and chatted a few more words.

The two walked out of the store and picked up the transparent fluorescent umbrella placed in the corner.

After Tang Yu opened the umbrella, he stepped into the rain again, and Sasha quickly followed, so he couldn't be more playful.

On the way home, Tang Yu thought about it. Sasha's problem was temporarily confirmed to be safe, and he recognized her as his special assistant.

Sasha is clean, if there is a problem, it is because Michiko has ulterior motives and has nothing to do with Sasha.

In fact, it's not that Tang Yu has never brought girls back to the apartment, but it's somewhat different from the current situation.

The relationship with Mrs. V and the others was a matter of course, and they reached that step naturally.

Moreover, he was more used to staying in V-sub-apartments before, and it was rare for him to live in his own luxury flat.

Fortunately, he brought home a special assistant, even though Sasha had unparalleled obedience to him, it was always artificially altered and twisted.

Moreover, there is another original consciousness in Sasha's mind, which is strange to Tang Yu.

Tang Yu has never advertised himself as a saint, but he just cherishes feelings, especially the kind that he cherishes.

If the person standing next to Tang Yu today is a real cyberpunk beauty girl, he really doesn't mind being chic and having a dangerous and romantic chase under the neon lights of the city.

Unfortunately, it is not suitable now.

Sasha is not the original Sasha, and Tang Yu is also not the original Tang Yu.

Two strange people lived in a neon mansion in Night City by many chances and coincidences, and maintained an inexplicable relationship.

Both intimacy and distance.

To be honest, this is something Tang Yu never expected.

Many major events happening now are deviating from his past experience and cognition.

Who would have thought that after rebirth, they would pick up a cat girl to take home, and it would be the kind of nurturing type.

Tang Yu turned his head slightly, and found that Sasha happened to look up at himself.

Four eyes facing each other.

Sasha smiled brightly.

At this moment, countless neon lights above the city turned into stars and fell into her eyes, colorful and colorful.

And Tang Yu was the only one in those colorful pupils.

Tang Yu stretched out his warm palm again, and gently touched her cat's head.

Sasha squinted slightly, smiled into a crescent moon, and quietly felt the unique breath of Tang Yu's palm, which was different from the coldness of the prosthetic body, and his hands were warm and gentle.

"Sasha, let's go, let's go home."

The night is deep.

Arasaka Tower Research and Development Department.

Tanaka, the head of the R&D department, just walked out of the laboratory door, looked at the time, and it was almost time.

He is rushing to a place now, looking for Jimmy Kurosaki, the famous black super dream editor, to buy and experience the latest black super dream, which is one of his few hobbies.

Jimmy Kurosaki's status in the Chaomeng world is definitely a top-ranked director, and the released Black Chaomeng is guaranteed to be fresh within 24 hours.

His style of making Black Chaomeng is often famous for fierce gun battles, massacres, and bloody battles, and he is especially good at making the first-person perspective of cyber madmen.

Many dignitaries who like this mouth are Jimmy Kurosaki's VIP customers, and they can enjoy the tailor-made black super dream service.

Tanaka twisted his stiff neck, walked to the public elevator, and came to the Arasaka Tower lobby.

Called a Delaman taxi and started to go to Jimmy Kurosaki's secret Black Mewtwo base.

Tanaka doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone now. The hobby of watching Heichaomeng is not very glorious, and he often goes alone.

However, his exclusive car was stolen a few days ago, which made him vigilant for a while.

So I have never traveled alone, which caused me to miss several new Black Superdreams, including the fighting black superdream of Cyber ​​Crazy James.

Tanaka is aware of the company square, and the counterintelligence department has already got back the military-grade Sienweistan operation data.

But what really made Tian Zhong itchy was not this set of data, but the last madness of the cyber lunatic James during his lifetime.

Company square, bloody killings, ruthlessness, blood flying, one against a hundred, almost every key word hits Tanaka's high point.

After working in Arasaka Tower for many years, he strictly abides by the company's strict hierarchical order, and always cares about the company's overall situation.

It caused a subtle change in his mentality, and he even imagined the moment of death when he stood on the top of the Arasaka Tower and slaughtered everything.

In fact, Tanaka had already obtained the black super dream chip, and it was the first perspective of the cyber madman James before his death.

But he has never watched it alone, because only by going to Jimmy Kurosaki's secret base can he enjoy the exclusive customization and bring the most extreme super dream experience.

The stimulation of the senses during the fight is raised to the peak state, as if you are on the scene in person, cutting everything with your hands.

Although Tanaka knew that military technology was investigating, this was normal for him.

It is common for the two major companies to investigate and infiltrate each other. As long as they do not go too far, they will not pursue too deeply.

In addition, in order to avoid being ambushed, the combat implants on Tanaka's body have been further strengthened.

Tanaka vaguely guessed something, military technology has a deeper purpose to investigate him.

"I'm afraid it's because of the military-grade Swan Westin, which has attracted the attention of military technology."

"After all, as long as one of those sets of prosthetic bodies can be retrieved and re-developed successfully, it will be a devastating disaster for them."

"It's a pity that the sample data is not enough. Now it is very difficult to find a target, a cyber candidate who can be comparable to Adam Heavy Hammer."

While Tanaka was contemplating, he suddenly received a communication request.

Susan Abernathy?

Tanaka frowned slightly, feeling a little strange.

"What is she calling so late, isn't she suspended?"

He calculated in his mind for a while, estimating that there was a high probability that it was related to today's board of directors, and pointed to the counterintelligence department.

The conflict between Susan Abernathy and the Counterintelligence Department, especially the Deputy Minister Tang Yu, has long been known to everyone.

Moreover, Tang Yu was indeed a bit reckless in countering military technology, which led to a lot of calls to deal with him on the board of directors.

Communication is on.

Tanaka: "Susan Abernathy, what's up so late?"

Even if the other party is a director, Tanaka is right. As the direct line of the Arasaka family, the gold content of this relationship is far higher than the position itself.

On the other end of the phone, Susan Abernathy didn't beat around the bush, and directly suggested: "Mr. Tanaka, I would like to invite you to cooperate once."

Tanaka didn't show any interest, and said in a low tone: "What is the cooperation, I hope you can explain it clearly."

Susan Abernathy said with a smile: "Of course it's about the company's personnel. You know, there is still a vacancy for a deputy director of the Counterintelligence Department. Their director, Arthur Jenkins, has been on a business trip and won't be back for a while."

Tanaka: "I am not responsible for the affairs of the counterintelligence department. The upper management will naturally consider it."

Susan Abernathy was not annoyed by Tanaka's impeccable answer, but continued to explain.

"Every department should be in charge of each department, but as the director of special operations, I have the responsibility and obligation to be in charge of the normal operation of the counterintelligence department. Now only the deputy director of the counterintelligence department, Tang Yu, is in charge."

"Tang Yu is also the deputy minister of both departments. So far, he has only been to the Special Operations Department once, and he has only been reimbursed for the mission expenses."

"It can be seen that Tang Yu can't handle the affairs of the two departments. The counterintelligence department alone is enough for him to be busy for a long time, not to mention being in charge of the special operations department."

Tanaka understood what she meant. Now that Arthur Jenkins of the Counterintelligence Department is not there, Tang Yu can't keep up with running around. The Counterintelligence Department is extremely short of people.

If it is suggested at this time that the top management of the board of directors can send someone to serve as the deputy director of the counterintelligence department with a high probability, then the key to the problem lies in this candidate.

The counterintelligence department can be regarded as one of the core departments in Arasaka Tower in the night city. It has a large number of secret information of company employees and privileges for external operations. This is indeed what Tanaka needs now.

But Tanaka is not the only one eyeing the position of deputy head of the counterintelligence department. Many forces are playing games, and no one wants to support his own faction.

Tanaka pondered for a moment, did not directly express his position, wanted to hear her arrangement, and asked, "How do you think about it?"

Susan Abernathy explained: "It is my wish to nominate one of your Ministry for Deputy Secretary of Counterintelligence, Kate."

Tanaka fell silent when he heard the name.

Kate is indeed working in the R&D department, but the real master behind it is actually Arasaka Yoshinobu.

Although Yoshinobu Arasaka is far away in Kyoto, he is also looking for opportunities to place chess pieces in the Arasaka company. Saburo Arasaka turns a blind eye to his actions and turns a deaf ear to them.

In addition, Arasaka Yoshinobu is the orthodox heir of the Arasaka Company in name, so the Arasaka Company has a large number of people who support and follow him.

Before the meeting of today's board meeting, rumors spread that Arasaka Yoshinobu is very likely to come to Night City.

But after the board of directors is over, there is a high probability that this matter will fall through.

Arasaka Michiko stabilized the situation in Night City and proved her loyalty to the Arasaka family.

Arranging for Arasaka Yoshinobu to serve as the deputy head of the counterintelligence department is to increase his influence in Night City in disguise.

From the current point of view, there is a high probability that Tang Yu will stand in line with Michiko Arasaka, so the two deputy ministers must be incompatible and will fight to the death.

In addition, Kate has worked under Tanaka for many years, and she is still obedient, and she is tens of thousands of times stronger than Tang Yu.

Every time I think of Tang Yu's words at that time, and his demeanor, I feel inexplicably irritable.

Seeing that Tanaka didn't answer, Susan Abernathy continued to persuade: "Don't you want to make Tang Yu suffer a little bit about your son's matter?"

"In addition, I can also send people here and transfer to the counterintelligence department to help Kate secure her position."

"how about?"

Tanaka immediately understood Susan Abernathy's wishful thinking, and each of the two families placed a person in the counterintelligence department.

Kate is in the interests of Yoshinobu Arasaka and also meets the needs of his Tanaka. As long as the directors put forward suggestions for appointment, and Yoshinobu Arasaka exerts some pressure from the Kyoto side, there is a high probability that Michiko Arasaka will not be able to refuse.

After all, Michiko Arasaka has kept Tang Yu from being dealt with, and if he prevents the reasonable arrangement of manpower to go to the counterintelligence department, it will cause even greater objections.

As the director, Susan Abernathy, it is not difficult to transfer a person to the counterintelligence department, just follow the normal procedures.

After a moment of silence, Tanaka finally said, "Don't mention Katsuo anymore, I only care about the company."

"I recommend Kate to serve as the deputy director of the counterintelligence department. I can cooperate with you here. As for the person you want to arrange, it's up to you."

The two finished.

Tanaka hung up the phone.

Looking at the receding night scenes on both sides, he ordered coldly, "Draman, return."

　Instant Noodles: "Thanks to the 'Rama Qi' funder, the rudder leader, for rewarding the work. I can't do without coding on weekends, Johnny, don't bother me."

　　Johnny: "If you are kidnapped by Instant Noodles, please tell me. It must be because of me. I found out that one of the benefactors named 'Ramaqi' wanted to threaten Instant Noodles with money as a blackmail! Or Playing the same old trick, they wanted to take the opportunity to provoke me! Okay, they got their wish!"

　　V child: "."

　　Johnny: "So how do you say, do you want to go to the little black room together? Let's go get the instant noodles back?"
