Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 194 The Big Three in Night City
"Afterlife bar?"

V wiped the sweat from his forehead, a little strange about the invitation message sent by Tang Yu.

She was practicing boxing in the boxing field downstairs of her house, and the neck of the boxing robot in front of her was almost broken, and she was heartbroken watching the coach Fred next to her.

It's really cheap to charge this little money.

It's only his fault that he was mistaken, he didn't expect that the iron hand girl in front of him was the newly promoted street boxing champion who was in the limelight.

After receiving the news from Tang Yu, V left the ring, picked up the towel hanging on the crossbar, wiped his slightly flushed face, and told Coach Fred.

"Please change to a more useful robot next time. I really can't help calling. With your high fees, it's hard to get any repeat customers."

Done.

V picked up the water glass and left, leaving behind the uncle Mediterranean, who was dumbfounded.

She took the dilapidated public elevator back to her room, tidied up and was ready to go to the Afterlife Bar for an appointment.

She is still very positive about the way of life arranged by her creditors. After all, she has no debts, and she can pay off her debts early so that she can start her own business.

Soon.

V tidied himself up neatly, changed his clothes, and went straight to his destination—the afterlife bar.

On the road.

She was driving a cool sheet metal convertible car, scrambling around on the narrow streets, and got scratched in several places within a few times of driving.

Rubbing the front of the car is really normal for her, and the car is too long and the handling is not very good.

V can see it, anyway, it is the car he won by punching, so he can scratch it as he wants, and he doesn't feel bad at all.

Unlike a certain car that caused her a lot of debts, it had to be put in the garage for provision, and she would never drive it unless she had to. Even if she went out, she had to be careful and walk on thin ice, otherwise the debt bill would be paid off in unknown years and months.

soon.

She arrived at the Afterlife Bar in a sheet metal sports car, and the shiny golden paint quickly attracted many people's malicious eyes.

V glared at the two idlers standing on the side of the street, and said viciously: "You two are called Bucky and Rocky, right? I remember your names. Take care of the car for me. If something goes wrong , be careful with your heads."

Done.

V turned over and got out of the car, threw the car keys to the two gangsters, and then walked towards the afterlife bar.

The gangster held the key that he had just thrown over in his hand, and looked at V's leaving figure in bewilderment.

"Who is this riding a horse? Is he so brilliant?"

"Silver arms, long black hair, isn't it V who was famous for punching a while ago? He swept the black boxing market in one day, and even the razor was beaten by her."

"Fuck, is it so fierce, then this car."

"Nonsense, what are you thinking, we can already see our identities, just take a good look at the car."

V walked into the bar and went downstairs along the steps to the basement bar surrounded by green light. The dim ambient lighting and the faint sound of music set off the atmosphere of the raw bar.

It was the first time for her to come to the bar, but she had heard of the name of 'afterlife' for a long time.

When she got to the iron gate, the big guard stopped her.

The guard turned on the prosthetic eye to scan and found that the visitor was a newcomer. He asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing here?"

V felt that his question was a bit inexplicable, and replied: "Drinking."

The doorman still blocked the door: "The people who come here must not only drink."

V patiently explained that she had an appointment with someone in the bar, and the other party's name was Tang Yu, and asked the guard to check it out.

After confirming this, the guard stepped aside and the gate automatically slid open.

V let go of his tightly clenched iron fist, and walked into the bar without the common sense of a gatekeeper.

When I arrived at the bar, the sound of music immediately surrounded my ears, and the noisy rock music was filled with hearty roars.

She heard the origin of this song, it's a song from Samurai Band, a super classic old song.

V looked around, the bar booths and corridors were full of people, bustling, everyone gathered in twos and threes, talking about things.

Some are chatting, some are exchanging information, and some are communicating confidentially. In short, everyone seems to have a story.

soon.

V found Tang Yu sitting at the bar, but there was a woman in a yellow sweater sitting next to him, with golden wavy curly hair draped over her shoulders, looking full of aura.

She walked to the bar, sat down on the other side of Tang Yu, and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Tang Yu looked sideways when he heard the sound, and saw that it was V, so he took the initiative to introduce her: "This is the queen of the afterlife bar-Rogge."

Then he introduced V to Rogge: "V is the best mercenary in Night City, and of course he is also a famous street fighter."

After listening to Tang Yu's identity introduction, Rogge looked at V with interest: "Little sister, it seems that you are indeed very different."

V didn't know what Rogge was referring to, and said politely: "The queen of the afterlife is also very different."

Rogge smiled and said goodbye: "Since the person you're waiting for has arrived, I won't disturb your chat. I'll take care of something."

"Claire, I'll take care of their drinks."

While mixing drinks, Claire replied with a smile: "No problem, it's the same as last time."

Done.

Roger got up and left the bar, and walked towards her exclusive box.

Seeing Rogge walking away, V looked away, looked at Tang Yu and asked, "Are you talking about me just now? Don't put a high hat on me, I can't bear it."

Before V arrived, Tang Yu did chat with Roger for a while.

Rogge had long wanted to get to know Tang Yu, and when he saw Tang Yu sitting alone at the bar, he took the initiative to say hello.

Tang Yu was very familiar with Rogge, so naturally he didn't feel unfamiliar. The two chatted nonsense, and mentioned V's incident by the way.

Tang Yu knew that Rogge actually wanted to know about Johnny, because last time he talked about the open-air screen.

This is the romance that belongs to Rogge's heart. Suddenly being pointed out by an outsider must make her a little surprised and curious.

Tang Yu looked at V, who had the same temper as before, and said with a smile: "You still need me to publicize your name. No one on the street knows how powerful your fist is."

V just hummed twice, not bothering to scold him.

Tang Yu asked with concern: "How do you feel recently, do you still have headaches or see double images?"

V shook his head: "It's much better, maybe it's because the things in my mind are settled, so naturally I won't mess around."

As long as the blue eyes don't come to cause trouble, the sea god in V's mind will not be affected much for the time being.

Tang Yu is still waiting for a suitable time to take it out for her, and has not found a matching carrier and means for the time being.

V waved his hands and said impatiently: "Don't mention this, what do you need from me today, don't play tricks on me again."

Tang Yu teased: "Hey, I didn't realize that my Miss V is quite busy. Is she preparing to make her debut in Night City?"

V rolled his eyes at Tang Yu angrily: "If I didn't owe you a whole body of debts, maybe I would be able to take a big deal, live comfortably in the rest of my life, and even make a name for myself."

Tang Yu nodded thoughtfully: "Well, it seems that our famous V also dreams of becoming a legend in Night City."

V felt his teeth itch, and wished he could take a bite on the spot, to vent his suffocation.

Tang Yu smiled frankly: "Don't be angry, it's just a joke, I also have a big list on hand, I'll know when Jack comes over."

V: "You'd better have a big list."

The two sat in front of the bar and waited for a while, then they noticed the cheerful voice behind them.

Jack walked to the bar, rubbed his broad palms together, and said with a smile, "What would you like to have today?"

Tang Yu told him not to just think about the wine, but to sit down and talk first.

Jack sat on the other side of Tang Yu and took the initiative to say hello to V.

"Hi chica."

"Hi Jack."

Jack suddenly found that the table between the two was empty, and asked curiously, "Have you ordered any wine yet?"

"In that case, I'm welcome."

Claire happened to be empty, so she stepped forward and asked, "Would you like something?"

Before Jack could speak, Tang Yu said first, "Three glasses of old-fashioned tequila, with some beer and chili."

Claire nodded with a smile: "Three cups of 'Johnny Silver Hand', here we come."

Jack blocked his mouth when he spoke, looked at Tang Yu with an uncomfortable expression, and asked: "Brother, don't grab my lines, I finally had a chance to show off, now it's all over, it's all gone."

V looked at their very knowledgeable looks, inexplicably connected the wine with Johnny Silver Hands, and asked curiously: "What kind of slang are you talking about?"

Jack smiled and explained: "The old rules of 'Afterlife', the name of the wine is the name of the regular customers here, and everyone who comes here to drink knows."

V understands a bit: "So Johnny Silverhand used to come here to drink often, did he leave the recipe for this glass of wine?"

Claire held up the wine glass and replied: "That's right, 'Afterlife' has been open for a long time, so long that I can't remember the exact year, but I can guarantee that Johnny Silverhand has indeed sat at this bar and drank."

Tang Yu thought to himself, not only had he been drinking, but he had also played cannons on the stage.

V thinks it's quite interesting. The background of the afterlife bar is not available in other places, and this is also her charm.

"Then how can I have a glass of wine of my own?"

Jack quickly raised his hand to stop Claire, and took the initiative to answer: "Chica, I can answer this question for you. You have to die first, and you have to die very excitingly. It is best to die halfway. The whole city is talking about your story. , like a legend."

Jack was so excited when he said that, he sighed: "Aha, I want to make a set for myself."

V also echoed: "That's right, if you can become famous in Night City, it's fine even if you die."

Jack became interested and asked Claire: "My name is Jack Wells, how about leaving a copy of my formula, believe me, now I have received a big order, and I will soon be famous in Night City."

Claire agreed aloud.

Jack blurted out without hesitation: "One vodka, on the rocks, lime juice, ginger beer."

"Oh, most importantly... some more love."

V laughed out loud and shouted, "I want it too, I want to keep a glass of wine too, my name is V"

Seeing these two guys, Tang Yu was planting flags again, so he raised his wine glass and interrupted: "Okay, okay, at least you have to live as a legend first."

Claire smiled: "That makes sense, it won't be too late to leave your names when you become legends."

V suddenly became bored: "Okay, okay, I owe you a whole debt."

Jack Lang smiled and raised his glass: "Do one?"

Tang Yu returned to this familiar scene again, and suddenly felt a little dazed. Jack and V beside him were still alive and well, looking forward to breaking new ground in Night City.

He also picked up the wine glass and drank.

"Respect 'do one'."

The three drank the spirits in their cups in one gulp.

V drank the wine in one gulp, feeling a burst of fire in his stomach, feeling extremely happy.

"'Johnny Silver Hand', this recipe is really simple and enjoyable."

Seeing Tang Yu and Jack leave the bar, she quickly put down her glass, said goodbye to Claire, and got up to follow.

The three of them came to a hidden box and began to discuss the content of this operation.

The content of the operation is not complicated, and the destination is an Arasaka traffic station on the outskirts of the city.

The three of them only need to wait for the target team to appear to attack the stronghold at the point selected in advance, and a praying mantis to catch cicadas and orioles will follow behind.

V was a little confused after hearing this: "That's it?"

The plan this time seems to be much simpler than last time, neither complicated nor detours.

Tang Yu nodded, confirming V's doubts.

Jack was a little strange: "Someone was full and went to attack the site of the Arasaka company. Don, since there is information on the attack, why didn't the people from the company contribute? It's because they are unreliable."

"Yes, there are ghosts in the company who are unreliable, and the people who attacked this stronghold may be instigated by people in the company."

Both Jack and V said that the tricks played by the company's dogs are really unclear, and the dog-eat-dog scene is probably happening every day.

Tang Yu's main basis for this action still came from Meredith.

According to the information she gave, Tang Yu confirmed which points were operated by military technology and which were operated by behind-the-scenes forces.

In addition, Meredith also provided some suggestions and references. Military Technology has always wanted to move a traffic point, but because she is about to be promoted, she doesn't want to make any more troubles, so she put it on hold for the time being.

She felt that that force was likely to do something, and it was just in the past few days.

Military technology has long grasped that some powerful forces are plotting to frame them, so as to arouse the hostility of the two giant companies and intensify the smell of gunpowder.

It's just that the military technology doesn't care too much about it, and the Arasaka company is determined not to take the initiative to start a war at this time.

If the world war starts again, it will not be so easy for the Arasaka Corporation to get involved in Night City again.

Night City is located on the New America territory, so it has more advantages in terms of logistics and fire coverage.

With Aunt Mei's intelligence assist, Tang Yu knew what to do next.

So I made an appointment with V and Jack, and prepared to do it myself.

The strength of that group of armed forces of unknown origin should not be underestimated. With Arasaka Company's continuous strengthening of security, they dared to take the risk of a surprise attack to keep them safe.

It not only shows that someone is doing internal support, but also shows that their own strength is good, and they can win in the fierce melee confrontation.

Tang Yu is not at ease to simply entrust this matter, once it goes wrong, there will be no chance to do it again.

The three communicated in detail about the details of the entire mission.

In order to avoid alarming the enemy, Tang Yu will apply the identities of the Arasaka company to Jack and V, and dress up as Arasaka security personnel for temporary reinforcements.

This will not arouse anyone's vigilance. Recently, all the strongholds on the outskirts of Arasaka City have been sending more people to prevent accidents. It is normal operation to send new people to increase defense.

After entering the stronghold, they can just wait for the enemy to attack with peace of mind.

And Tang Yu will stay farther away to provide remote support.

The three of them decided on a plan and started to prepare. They went home and copied the guys to prepare to leave.

　One update is gone today, I was a little busy because I had work to finish a year ago.
