Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 166 Self-Disciplined V
It was exactly five o'clock in the morning.

As the alarm clock rang suddenly, V stared at his feet, kicked off the quilt on his body, and sat up.

despair!
After turning off the alarm clock casually, V turned over and crawled on the ground, doing push-ups seriously.

After quickly doing a hundred warm-up push-ups, she walked into the bathroom with a pair of slippers, and began brushing her teeth and washing her face in front of the electronic mirror.

Gollum.
He spit out the toothpaste foam in one gulp, picked up a wet towel and dabbed it on his face casually, V fiddled with his somewhat messy hair a few times in front of the mirror, and walked out of the bathroom after he was done.

After changing her clothes and shoes, she walked out of the apartment clean and tidy, and started a day of self-disciplined life.

Coming to the downstairs of the super skyscraper H10, V glanced at the end of the street, and saw almost no one, only two or three hungover street guys, wandering aimlessly.

The sky in the distance had just turned pale, and the entire Night City hadn't really woken up yet.

V took a deep breath of the cool and cool air, and looked at the time, it was exactly 15:[-], exactly the same as her self-disciplined mornings.

She did a few stretches, warmed up and set off.

V ran all the way, looking around the corners of the streets from time to time, trying to see if there were any good things.

At this point, the city cleaners have not yet gone to work, and there are often some unexpected gains.

But V was a bit disappointed today, he ran for a few streets and didn't find any good treasures.

I had no choice but to order an Oujin pizza on the side of the road, get some hot water by the way, and then have breakfast.

After filling my stomach a little, the sky is already bright, and there are gradually more pedestrians going to work on the street, and the traffic on the road begins to congest.

V saw that it was about the same time, so he started to run on the way home.

The shops along the street also began to operate normally, and peddlers from all walks of life popped up their heads one after another, sizing up passers-by and looking for potential customers.

"Hey, brother, do you want to upgrade your guy? The newly found steel cannon, although it is second-hand, is powerful and cheap, isn't it?"

"Interested? Change to bionic tendons and joints, and it will be easier to move around."

"Don't miss it when you pass by. Combat implants are all high-end goods, and the price is definitely good."

"Do you want to hear some breaking news? I have all kinds of information here, about companies, gangs, the stock market, and female celebrities at night. As long as the price is enough, I can even get you some information about celebrities."

There is no shortage of second-hand dealers on the streets of Watson, and they can buy almost anything they want.

Night is the working time of the girls standing on the street, and during the day it is basically the activities of traffickers.

V ignored the warm greetings from the peddlers, and just concentrated on exercising and running.

Although the implants on her body are not too high-end, they are not to the point of using these street cheap ones.

These prosthetic bodies of unknown origin may have some hidden procedures, and they are easy to lose the chain at critical moments, and there is no quality assurance at all.

V continued to run. In terms of physical fitness, she paid the most attention to it.

After all, the body is the capital of the street, without the body, there is no career at all.

When she was running through a deep alley, someone suddenly called her.

"Want to have some special super dream movie, it's guaranteed to be something new that you haven't seen before!"

V ran straight over as if he didn't hear it, and the speed was so fast that it brought a gust of wind.

Mew-two?

A special fresh item?

A few seconds passed.

V stepped back, returned to the peddler just now, and looked at him suspiciously.

Chaomeng dealer in front of him looks young, not like a veteran in this line of work.

But people should not be judged by their appearance. In the second-hand dealer business, there are almost any backgrounds. A young man who is new to the industry may have A goods in his hands.

The young businessman saw that someone was interested, so he introduced again: "How about it, do you want to have a version? This version of Mewtwo is an out-of-print item that Lizzie can't experience. I only have it in the entire Night City."

V is indeed curious. As a hardcore mewdreamer, he has a natural desire for novel and special mewdreams.

"Tell me, what is the content, and what is Chaomeng's name?"

The dealer heard V's question about the content, and said with disdain on his face: "Why are you asking this? If Chaomeng's content tells you, there will be no surprises. Besides, Chaomeng's name is not important at all, what is important is the novelty of the film. and quality, give it a try, I promise you won’t regret it.”

V looked it up anyway, and found that Chaomeng dealer seemed to be very confident in the film in his hands, and he looked like he wanted to buy it or not, which made her even more curious.

to be frank.

She is indeed a little itchy. She has seen many Chaomengs on the market, so she already has super immunity to Chaomengs.

Most of the serious Chaomeng content has been heavily edited, and the sensory experience is greatly reduced.

On the contrary, these supermen of unknown origin on the street often have surprising experiences.

V hesitated for a moment, made up his mind, and asked: "Okay, how to sell Chaomeng, give me a copy."

When the young businessman heard that he was able to open an order, he held back his inner joy, and quickly said, "It's not expensive, it's only [-] Euros, and we also provide offline experience, and there are special Chaomeng editors tailor-made for you. "

Twenty thousand euros?

When V heard this number, the good expectations in his heart were instantly shattered.

She doesn't have a dime in her electronic account now, and she has some cash on her body, including a few hundred euros, all of which she picked up from the treasure chest.

This amount of money is definitely not enough to buy this super dream movie.

V's tone was filled with disappointment, so he had no choice but to say frankly: "Thanks, I still don't watch it, I can't afford it"

As soon as the young businessman heard that the client had no money, and seeing her getting up to leave, he hurriedly shouted again.

"Don't worry, because you are the first customer today, how about I give you a discount, just give you a discount, how about charging you two thousand euros?"

"This is already the limit. I really can't do anything if I can't afford it anymore. After all, I have to pay channel fees, so I really can't make much money."

[-]% off? !

The strength of the offer really pulled V, causing her to stop again, reach into her pocket, and grab a few tickets.

Two thousand euros is also not a small difficulty for her.

When she thought that she couldn't even get this little money out, the man in the Arasaka suit appeared in her mind, he was simply too black-hearted.

In order to repay the car loan and housing loan, all her hard-earned money was transferred away!
Now she is a worker through and through, and she pays off the loan with her eyes open and closed. She can't even afford the Chaomeng she wants to buy. This feeling is too aggrieved!
However, V has also thought about this issue carefully. In fact, Arasaka's man in a suit is fairly fair to her.

There is no interest on the car loan, and rent will be paid every time the car is borrowed.

The house also confiscated the rent, which was equivalent to living with her for nothing.

So even if V repays the loan, it is for himself. In the end, it is really not Tang Yu's fault.

It was nothing more than forced buying and selling, which forced her to bear huge debts, so that she finally did some tasks, and all the rewards she earned were transferred away.

As the saying goes, a penny stumps a hero, but this truth doesn't work for her.

V is the kind of person who can live a vain and fat life without any money on his body, and even bring one or two younger brothers to nourish and nourish him.

After all, she also went to Atlanta alone with no money back then, so she was still doing well.

What troubles her most now is that the quality of entertainment life has dropped a lot.

Maintaining self-discipline every day also requires a way to relax.

What V loves most is shooting guns, playing games, experiencing Mewtwo, or going out to fight. It would be even better if he could make some money along the way.

Now these entertainment activities have all stopped because of financial constraints.

So when she saw a fresh super dream movie on the street, she was more excited than ever.

V looked at the sincere face of the dealer in front of him, and it was a discount and an offline experience. It was really unreasonable not to buy this super dream movie.

How about asking Mr. Tang to borrow some?
Anyway, since he is so rich, he shouldn't mind.

But this idea was rejected by her as soon as it came to her mind, mainly because she couldn't hold back this face.

soon.

Another person appeared in her mind, Gloria, the proprietress of Lizzie Bar.

With her charming temperament, you can tell at a glance that she has a big heart, and she is compatible with her, and it is also a pleasure to cooperate with her after taking several tasks.

So V asked Chaomeng dealer to wait for a while, and then made a phone call himself.

Chaomeng dealer guessed that the other party was going to find someone to borrow money, so he stood aside and waited patiently.

Soon.

She dialed Gloria's number, and before she could speak, she heard the first voice on the other end of the phone.

"V, I just wanted to see you too, are you free now?"

She froze for a while, then murmured.

"available."

"That would be great. Please come to Lizi's Bar. I have a commission here. I'm really in a hurry. I'm sorry."

V confusedly agreed, her friend is in a hurry, and it is not her style to ask for a loan at this juncture.

Hang up.

The Chaomeng dealer saw her helplessness, probably because she didn't get any money, so he kindly said: "Otherwise, you owe me the money first, read Chaomeng first, and pay it back when you have money." I'm not too late."

credit?

V never expected that he could experience Chaomeng before paying the bill.

No matter how much she likes to watch Chaomeng, she also senses that something is wrong.

Just now, he looked as if he had no money and didn't want to come here, but now he begged himself to go and see, there was nothing wrong with it.

But she has work on hand now, and she has just agreed to meet with Gloria, so there is no need to delay any further, and she is too lazy to bother with these peddlers.

He turned around and ran away with strides, and the shout of Chaomeng dealer came from behind him.

"It's really not possible, I'll give you free! Only this time!"

V didn't look back this time, luckily she didn't have any money in her pocket, otherwise she would have gained some wisdom after years of wandering around the rivers and lakes.

Arasaka Tower.

Counterintelligence.

Tang Yu has received news of network surveillance, and Bryce Mosley has successfully joined forces with the Animal Gang to occupy the Empire State Building.

The Voodoo Gang started to act, waiting for opportunities in the cyberspace, trying to break into their network addresses and burn down the newly erected servers.

However, network monitoring is strong in terms of hardware facilities and software programs, and the ICE protection set up is strong, and it will not be afraid of the methods of the Voodoo Gang for a while.

Moreover, many Haitians began to gather around the Empire State Building, as if they wanted to take the opportunity to sneak in, but they were all driven out by the Animal Gang.

In order to completely take down the Empire State Building, the leader of the Animal Gang, the Savage King, personally dispatched to lead the core force of the Animal Gang to guard it.

The voodoo gang is not enough to watch, and there is nothing to do with the muscular animal gang.

It was also time for Tang Yu to act. He told the front desk to inform Glass that he would prepare a counterintelligence special service team to set off with him and be responsible for the security.

Douglas, who was working, received an order from Tang Yu to lead a team with him to the Empire State Building to perform tasks.

Even the content of the mission clearly informed himself that the counterintelligence department must cooperate with the network surveillance to capture the voodoo gang.

Douglas was quite surprised. This is the first time Tang Yu called him on a mission. Is there any meaning in it?

He immediately got up and started preparations, hesitating whether to tell Kate about it.

But inexplicably feel that there may be a trap in it, so let's wait for the first-hand to see the information.

Tang Yu went straight to the interrogation room, walked through the door to the room where Lucy was, and said bluntly.

"Come with me, you can get out of here."

Lucy, who had been silent all this time, raised her head, and a gleam of light flashed in her neon eyes.

soon.

The Field Armed Forces of the Counterintelligence Department are ready to go and march towards the Empire State Building in Taiping State.

In a private car.

Lucy looked calmly and looked out the window calmly.

Since she was 'arrested' by Tang Yu to Arasaka Tower, she has not spoken a word until now, except for silence.

Tang Yu knew that she had many questions in her heart, but there were some things that she couldn't explain clearly to her yet.

The less people know about the Arasaka family, the safer it is.

There's no need to involve Lucy when this is over.

As long as she joins the network surveillance and changes her identity, Tang Yu will get rid of Kate here. In the rest of her life, she will no longer have to live in fear as before, and she will no longer have to think about how to avoid the pursuit of Arasaka, and she can live a bright and honest life.

There was silence in the carriage, and outside the window was the city street scene passing by.

After a while.

The convoy of the Arasaka Counter-Intelligence Department arrived at the Empire State Building in Taiping State, which had already been occupied by the Animal Gang. After confirming their identities, they were released, and the convoy entered from the underground parking lot.

The emergency lights are turned on in the underground parking lot. Although the decoration has not been completed, the four beams and eight pillars have been stabilized, and the spacious garage can be parked at will.

Tang Yu and others got out of the car, and the air was filled with the smell of reinforced concrete.

Douglas followed Tang Yu and was responsible for guarding his personal safety.

He didn't know much about this operation, so he kept silent the whole time, and led the team honestly to follow behind.

Only one elevator passed through, and Tang Yu first took Lucy to the third floor of the mall to meet Mosley, a senior agent of Internet surveillance.

The two arrived on the third floor smoothly. This floor is the temporary base for network monitoring and animal gangs.

Many thugs from the Animal Gang gathered here, and when they saw Arasaka company executives walk in, they all cast strange glances.

Tang Yu's face was calm. At the beginning, the animal gang, the group of muscular men, obeyed the orders of Susan Abernathy and intercepted and killed him on the elevated road back to the city.

People from the Animal Gang should still remember this incident, so the look in Tang Yu's eyes was a little weird.

soon.

Animals helped the thugs make way for a path, only to see a brawny woman with a strong chest came out.

Her aura suppressed the entire animal gang, and those thugs looked at her with admiration.

The savage king Matilda, the leader of the Animal Gang.

Tang Yu has a certain impression of her. Back then, Mrs. V fought this monster with bare hands.

The fist is indeed hard enough, and the IQ can only be said to be adequate.

The Savage King looked at Tang Yu coldly, with an unfriendly expression.

Douglas and the Arasaka special service team who caught up behind saw that the members of the Animal Gang seemed to want to make a move, and they all took guard postures.

Tensions.

at this time.

Internet monitoring agent Bryce Mosley came out and stood between the two sides. Seeing that the situation was a little tense, he introduced it with a smile.

"Mr. Tang, you are here. This is the leader of the Animal Gang, Matilda the Savage King."

After speaking, he looked at the Savage King again and explained.

"The person who cooperates with me is Mr. Tang. You take your men down to prepare first. When I find the voodoo gang lair here, it's time for you to act."

After listening to Mosley's words, the Savage King let go of his clenched fist, glanced at Tang Yu, and left the scene with his men.

Seeing the Savage King walking away, Mosley led Tang Yu to continue walking in, talking while walking.

"I set up the control room of the temporary base in the cinema of the shopping mall, and then transformed a deep dive room there, so..."

After Mosley finished speaking, he looked at Tang Yu, meaning that Arasaka's deep-diving hackers will be needed to complete the tracking of the Voodoo Gang later.

Tang Yu replied: "I have no problem here."

Lucy, who was following behind him, had a dull gaze, but unconsciously clenched her fists.

She knew that she would dive deep into the cyberspace later, which was the place she wanted to avoid after fleeing for many years.

Tang Yu asked Douglas and the secret service team to guard the surroundings, not allowing anyone to break into the cinema control room, and then took Lucy and followed Mosley into the control room.

The three walked into the control room.

Mosley roughly explained the current situation to the two of them.

He has started signal fluctuation tracking, and the Voodoo Gang is waiting for an opportunity to investigate the loopholes, in order to break through the ICE of network monitoring.

Now it is necessary for Arasaka deep-dive hackers to monitor deep-dive equipment through the network and enter cyberspace to find traces of the activities of members of the Voodoo Gang.

Mosley pointed to a door not far from the screening room, and said, "It's a deep dive room, equipped with ice tanks and hacker chairs."

"I'll be watching the voodoo gang's actions from the control room to prevent accidents. If you have any questions, you can call me at any time."

Lucy clenched her fists, her brows were low, she turned around and walked towards the diving room, opened the door and entered the room.

As a former top hacker, Tang Yu is very clear about the process of deep diving cyberspace.

During the deep diving process, the hacker must have someone watching outside, ready to release the deep diving state at any time.

He explained some things to Mosley, and the entire deep dive process must be based on Lucy's personal safety.

Mosley could hear the murderous spirit in Tang Yu's words. The reason why he said the words first was to prevent the practice of swallowing horses and damaging cars.

For network surveillance, breaking the voodoo gang must be ten thousand times more important than Lucy's life.

But for Tang Yu, protecting Lucy is ten thousand times more important than breaking the voodoo gang.

If it wasn't for Lucy's change of identity and joining the network surveillance, this matter wouldn't need to be so troublesome.

You can use Arasaka's power to let Kate find trouble with the voodoo gang and use it to drive tigers and wolfs away.

However, Tang Yu has already released the wind of his actions, and it depends on whether Kate can take the bait.

The reason why he made a big effort to rectify the counterintelligence department's troops today is to let Kate know and intervene in this matter.

If she didn't dare, she could only watch Lucy join the network monitoring, and at the same time, the subnet Poseidon fell into Tang Yu's hands.

For this kind of opportunist, Tang Yu judged that she would most likely not give up such a good opportunity to ask for credit.

Regarding Tang Yu's explanation, Mosley said that there is no problem, and he will even use ICE, which is monitored by the network, to be responsible for early warning of security issues in cyberspace.

He saw that Tang Yu had an unusual attitude towards this Arasaka deep-diving hacker. He knew the stakes, and it would be a matter of time to break through the Voodoo Gang. There was no need to offend Tang Yu for this, let alone the people outside Arasaka who were still guarding.

As long as the Animal Gang takes root in the Empire State Building, there will be no fear that the Voodoo Gang won't be able to escape. A win-win situation is a real win. Mosley still knows how important this is.

After explaining clearly, Tang Yu turned and walked to the deep diving room, opened the door and entered the room.

inside the house.

Lucy was undressing, and seemed to have accepted the arrangement.

She squatted down and pressed the last trouser leg, and the girl's slender and mature curves were undoubtedly revealed in front of Tang Yu.

She stood up slowly, and the imprint of the cyber prosthetic body modification on the back was obvious. The golden optical cable, integrated radiator, and biological nerve interface were distributed throughout the back, extending to the waist and hips.

In the room, there are all kinds of hacker deep diving equipment, a high-end hacker chair is placed next to it, and a new set of hacker customer service is hung on the bracket.

But Lucy ignored the hacking chair, stood in front of the porcelain tank covered with ice water, and murmured.

"Can I trust you again?"

Her voice seemed to tremble a little, realizing that she had no choice at the moment, but she was unwilling to become a puppet of the company.

If she went back to her previous hellish life, she would rather choose to die under Arasaka's bullets.

Tang Yu said softly: "I have never deceived you, and I will never."

Lucy's body trembled slightly, as if she felt something in her heart.

She raised her left hand slowly, brushing away the silver hair that covered the back of her head, and pinched the bandage with her right hand and gradually tore it apart.

With a 'hiss', the deep dive interface behind Lucy's head was undoubtedly revealed.

She raised her legs and stepped directly into the icy water tank, a biting chill immediately swept over her body.

Lucy was used to the low temperature, her eyes were calm and there was no temperature, and then she lay flat in the water tank, naked.

The icy blue water in the tank sloshed slightly, and the broken ice floating on the surface collided with each other, making a clattering sound.

Tang Yu stepped forward to pick up the joint, aligned it with her slot, and handed it in steadily.

click.

With the sound of mechanical stapling, Lucy frowned slightly, as if feeling a little uncomfortable.

She hugged her slender arms in front of her body, her eyes were looking straight ahead.

After a while.

Lucy murmured.

"Don."

"I'm ready"

She took a deep breath, her chest rose slightly, and with a long breath, she slowly closed her eyes.

Tang Yu pressed the start button, cooperated with Lucy to enter the deep dive state, and entered the cyberspace.

Arasaka Tower.

Counterintelligence.

Kate was in the office, looking a little restless, pacing back and forth thinking.

Just now, she had learned that Tang Yu had taken Lucy away, and ordered Douglas to lead the team to perform field duties.

The destination is the Empire State Building, ready to join the network surveillance to deal with the voodoo gang.

This information is not considered top secret in the Counterintelligence Department, and Kate has no doubts about its authenticity.

What really made her suspicious was what was Tang Yu's purpose behind doing this.

Take away Arasaka's fugitive deep-diving hacker Lucy, cooperate with network surveillance to defeat the voodoo gang, and go to the front line in person.

She has confirmed that the source of this task performed by Tang Yu is not at the board level.

Then there is only one possibility, which is the way Mr. Saburo Arasaka arranged for Tang Yu to survive.

Pointing at the voodoo gang, could it be that they want to get the subnet Poseidon?

The only thing Kate could think of was that in Arasaka's eyes, the subnet Poseidon had some value to the cyberspace plan.

The reason why they cooperated with network monitoring and took away the deep-diving hackers was all for the Poseidon of the Voodoo Gang.

Kate made a general judgment that this matter must be related to Lord Saburo Arasaka, and the issue under consideration now is whether to report it to Raisaka Arasaka.

finally.

She made up her mind and should report in time.

Arasaka Laixuan explained before that it is necessary to find out what Tang Yu did, especially the errand he received from Lord Arasaka Saburo.

soon.

Kate edited the information she knew and sent it to Arasaka Yoshinobu in Kyoto through secret channels.

It didn't take long.

Kate received the reply, looked at the contents of the secret letter, and focused on explaining a few things.

"Destroy Tang Yu's operation."

"Get the Seagod data."

"Adam Hammer has arrived at the Night City Seaside Park and will cooperate with your actions."

"There is no room for loss."
