Cyberpunk: 2075

“The delivery place in Little Chinatown, then the code is….

After Carl entered the relevant numbers, he got the information he needed.

That's a chip.

After buying breakfast outside, an omelette made of synthetic eggs and alcohol-free flour, Carl felt that there was a distinction between unpalatable and delicious food when he chewed the food, which had a crispy texture and a strange plastic taste. Quite obvious.

Synthetic eggs are unpalatable, but cakes made from flour are delicious.

This should be considered progress for me.

From not being able to eat it at all, to being able to eat it now, it tastes bad mixed with delicious food.

If this continues, maybe one day I will be able to eat that synthetic meat without changing my expression.

Biting an egg pancake and riding in the elevator, Karl flipped through the messages and sent messages to Brown and Mann respectively.

Carl: How's it going, are there any signs of lockdown?

Brown: The target is very alert and has been moving its position. However, we have still found some clues of activity, which are expected to be resolved within ten days.

Ten days?

That is to say, before Christmas.

To end everything before Christmas and spend Christmas with peace of mind, it feels strangely like planting a flag.

Mann: The traces have been found. Brown is very professional. Compared with our team, which always relies on hackers to obtain intelligence, his team is better at obtaining street intelligence. The clues this time were also found by members of their team.

Carl: Got it, keep working hard.

After finishing the conversation with Brown and Mann, Karl felt that perhaps what he was doing now was a middleman job in a sense.

Now think about it, when I usually take on tasks, do the middlemen look like me?

Check in occasionally?

After thinking about it carefully, Karl's impression was that he had never been forced to work by a middleman.

I received jobs by myself. Except for the long-term job I have on hand now, most of the jobs were solved on the same day. There was rarely any delay. The only long-term job I had was when I went to college as a student for a period of time. In addition to the necessary school time every day, I always seem to encounter something at night, whether it's cyberpsychosis or gang fights, and overall, the school time is less than a week.

"Did I turn out to be such an efficient person?"

Muttering to himself, Karl, who returned to the rental house, inserted the chip into the computer. After doing a special check for possible viruses, Karl, who was sure that there was nothing unnecessary inside, opened the chip, and the first thing he saw was I saw quite eye-catching words.

"Lazarus."

[Lazarus]: Lazarus Group, a military mercenary company, ranging from legion combat to lone wolf mercenaries. You can find the most satisfactory candidate you want from Lazarus Company. Look for Lazarus. , your best combat support partner.

Lazarus?:

The famous military mercenary group, although it withdrew from the city due to the peace agreement signed by major companies in Night City, seems to have lost its reputation, and with the company peace in recent years, its development has also declined, but as the most famous in the past A large-scale military employment company, this name is quite resounding.

Karl thought of the training chip he had obtained, which contained the data of Lazarus' official mercenary.

How could he see the word Lazarus in the chip sent by Blanca?

Carl admitted that he was intrigued.

"Lazarus Mercenary."

According to Carl's inner judgment, a formal mercenary of Lazarus is very strong, comparable to Arasaka's ninjas equipped with Sianwistan and Mantis swords, and his combat power can be regarded as first-class on the streets of Night City. Ordinary mercenaries are not qualified to touch their heels. Has such a character appeared in the personnel information of Night City?

interesting.

Karl found the content of the chip given by Blanca to be very interesting. Blanca not only gave information about the former ACPA trainee, but also about the important personnel who had recently entered Night City. Names and information were all stuffed inside.

To an ordinary middleman, this might have taken a lot of effort to get, but Blanca threw it to him as easily as the chopsticks that came with the takeout.

Of course, Karl also knows why. Using more information to hide the information of key figures is like hiding a person in a crowd of people. Even the assassins wearing white robes and walking openly on the streets are hiding. It's understandable. As a shrewd company dog, Blanca will not understand this.

She will not leave much evidence that may be discovered. After all, it can be said that the chips of many people are lost accidentally, but if the chip that only carries the information of the ACPA trainees is lost, there will be a sense of specialness in it if it is discovered. Inside.

This kind of "chopsticks" was just given by Blanca to hide it, but Karl was quite satisfied.

Under normal circumstances, he would have no access to this kind of information that covers the entire Night City and requires dedicated personnel from large companies to collect it. Now that he can easily see it, how can he not be happy about it.

Let alone anything else, just from the entry of this Lazarus, Carl can think of three or four possibilities, such as Lazarus wants to develop a small-scale business in the city and prepare to carry out tasks in the city. With this pre-prepared guess, no matter which possibility happens later, the changes caused by it can be accepted and prevented by Carl who knows it in advance.

Just like today's weather will change, no matter what it will be like, people who have no idea can only accept the upcoming weather after going out, while Carl can take an umbrella in advance to see if it will be sunny or rainy.

Carl sent the trainee information, which he thought was now irrelevant, to the team channel where T-BUG maintained defense.

Carl: You guys watch it first. If you are not awake, get up and read it and tell me. Regarding the long-term task entrusted by Blanca, we will discuss what to do together after seeing it.

After sending it, looking at the chat channel that seemed to be online 24 hours a day and never sleeps, T-BUG replied in seconds, and then fell silent again, Carl knew that Jack and Oliver were probably still not awake.

It is now 8:20.

If Blanca is still working, then she has been working for 31 hours.

Hehe, luckily I am not a company dog.

Feeling lucky, Carl continued to look through the personnel information in the chip.

There are too many, there are too many interesting information.

How many people have returned to or come to Night City recently...::

'God of Rock' Kerry Orodion, Arthur Jenkins, Meredith Stout, Kirk Sawyer...:.

Big and small, superstars, company people, street middlemen, this information is really as much as you want.
