Cyberpunk: 2075

"The weapons have arrived."

On the seventh day after resuming the mission, the weapons V and the others needed were manufactured and delivered to the super skyscraper.

A total of six manufactured weapons were delivered, five neurotoxin knives and a thermal samurai sword that would glow when charged.

The knife is easy to carry, and the one with neurotoxin is very suitable for anesthetizing and treating enemies, so everyone in the team has one to carry with them at all times, and the thermal katana is what V wants.

The people in the team who are most interested in melee weapons are Oliver and V. What Oliver wants is the neurotoxin knife. He has already got it and has no interest in the katana. So when it comes to the katana, V is the only one who has it. .

After all, we can't let Jack, who activates the violent type and punches people with his fists, and the hacker T-BUG, and Karl, who uses the monomolecular wire, learn how to wield a samurai sword to kill people.

This thing is not convenient to carry, and it is easy to hurt yourself if you don't learn it well. If you have the time to learn, it is better to learn how to hide a portable revolver.

After entering the security code, he pulled out the katana from the second storage layer of the shipping box. Looking at the independent blade of the sword in his hand, with the blade extending outside the katana, V tried to press a hidden part on the handle. As he moved With the movement, there was a buzzing sound, and the extending blade lit up with orange light. Just holding it in his hand, V felt the scorching heat emanating from the blade.

"The thermal katana sounds like a lightsaber."

Karl, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at the thermal martial arts sword that lit up in V's hand, and he felt like he had seen the martial arts of Night City shining a light blade.

"Do you want to come and try it? Although the top floor we rented does not have its own shooting range or anything, there is still a gym. I remember there is an iron stake over there. Do you want to try chopping it?"

Karl suggested that the iron stake that the original gang owner used to practice boxing and kicking was erected there. No one except Jack usually touched it, so it was quite suitable as a chopping target.

"It's okay, so don't damage your own things."

V shook his head and turned off the thermal charge: "Take a mission and find a job. Then I'll see if I can separate the whole car with one knife. I've seen the propaganda before. In the video, a samurai He faced the oncoming vehicle with his thermal samurai sword, dodged the collision with the vehicle, and split the vehicle in half from head to tail with a slash."

"Theoretically, if you have enough grip strength, the material of the sword is good enough, and it is sharp enough, plus a series of conditions, you can do this. However, I feel that the promotional video is more of a GG nature."

Oliver walked over with a piece of bread in his mouth, chewing and talking: "Which company nowadays doesn't brag about its products in publicity? It's so awesome that it seems to have surpassed its peers for decades, even hundreds of years. It’s the same, that’s all it takes to get the result.”

"It's like you bought a Zeiss scope before?"

Jack also came over eating the bread for breakfast: "I remember you were complaining at that time. Compared with the original, there was no progress at all."

"It is definitely false to say there is no progress at all, but it is definitely not worth the price... Do you know how much I spent on buying a new scope? It's almost 5,000 euros, 5,000 euros, a scope is 5,000 Oh! In the end, it just makes the environmental readings connected to the visual nervous system clearer. This is a broken upgrade. When it is promoted everywhere, it is said to effectively improve the accuracy of shooting by 30% and prevent accidental interference. of,

Damn it to me. "

Speaking of this, Oliver is full of complaints. Being cheated when buying the company's products has become a common situation in today's era, but when it is his turn to be cheated, he is never happy.

"Looking at the bright side, at least I didn't upgrade backwards, give you some messy unknown plug-ins, or ask you to sign some agreement to allow connection."

Jack's comforting words were only greeted by Oliver's continued complaints: "If a scope can have so many functions, I think the five thousand technical content is well worth it."

"Okay, if you feel like you've made a big loss, you should be more careful next time, like check the reviews or something?"

"Are you referring to the one where all negative reviews have been blocked and there are only good reviews on the market that are controlled and displayed by a unified company?"

Seeing that Jack was stunned by Oliver's remarks and didn't know what to say, Carl said from the side:

"Don't worry, there won't be absolute praise. The rival company is much more anxious than us. They are busy picking up dirty information. Shopping needs to be promoted by both the manufacturing company and the rival company. Look at it together with the black material, that way you can understand things thoroughly. If we don’t understand, how can the enemy company not understand?”

"I'll do that next time."

Oliver finished eating the bread and sighed: "So, Carl, are there any jobs today? We have finished all the jobs we have received recently."

"No, haven't you seen that T-BUG is still asleep now? She is in a mood to relax, but I did see some information about Mann and the others."

Karl said, looking at the information revealed by the old captain while chatting with him: "Mann and the others seem to be helping Faraday with military technology work recently. According to the old captain's intelligence network, they are targeting Arasaka."

"Help Faraday, do military technology work, target Arasaka?"

When hearing the name Faraday, Oliver frowned, and after the subsequent words came out of Carl's mouth, both Oliver and Jack frowned, which made V, who was playing with the knife and looking over, very unhappy. untie.

V looked at the faces of Oliver and Jack, then looked at Carl: "I know Mann and the others, but is there any problem with this?"

"How to say it."

Carl thought for a while and told V about Faraday-related matters, and then also talked about related tasks and speculations that the team had done:

"I suspect that it is a follow-up to the Robot King Kong mission. It may be that Military Technology is not satisfied after getting the relevant information about the Robot King Kong, and plans to rob Arasaka's related laboratories or products. After all, it involves Arasaka and the military. Technology, and the work related to Mann’s team, that is, the prosthetic King Kong.”

"I remember that job. It was Karl who shared it with Mann and the others. Was it Blanca who took over the job?

Jack said, and Carl nodded: "Faraday is a dog that helps military technology. The middleman Blanca was first introduced to us was also him, so it is easy to guess based on this idea. "And the above Speaking of secondary work, the exposed personnel are our team. If we are responsible for robbing, the capable Mann team is also a good choice. "

Oliver touched the mustache on his chin and thought: "So, Carl, what are you planning to do when you say this? Are Mann and the others in danger?"

"No, even though this guy Faraday gave me this job, there is still no problem with Mann and the others. I just thought of the information I got from the old captain and told you about it."

What's more, these are just speculations. One mercenary team did not accept the mission, but got involved in another mercenary team's mission just because of a guess. Even if the two teams have a good relationship, it is not such a thing. They are just messing around. Friends who are good friends understand each other that the City of Night is not about peace and stability.

Karl, who was drinking milk and just treating this as a topic among friends in morning chat, thought about it a little in his heart.

‘It can’t be, there must be some critical situation. ’
