Cyberpunk: 2075

"Prosthetic King Kong, what is that?"

At 8:10 p.m., Jack, who was sitting in Oliver's apartment room, showed a confused expression after listening to Carl's story about the mission. Then, he turned to look at Victor, who was at the party today.

"Lao Wei, as a prosthetic doctor, have you ever heard of this thing?"

"I'm familiar with most of the prosthetics on the market, but I've never heard of anything called this... Is this some kind of code name?"

Victor drank whiskey. It was also the first time for him to hear about the prosthetic King Kong in the mission that Carl and the others were discussing.

"The mission is to let us obtain information about the Prostitute King Kong from a company dog ​​named Tanaka. Tanaka belongs to Arasaka Company. In other words, this mission is to use military technology to explore something in Arasaka. Secret research?"

Oliver saw something from the mission. Blanca's commission was not from her personally, but a commission issued on behalf of military technology. Considering the situation of the company behind Blanca and Tanaka, although it was still unclear about the prosthetic body What exactly is King Kong, but we can still infer something about it.

"It's another battle between military technology and Arasaka. We have only been involved in this kind of mission not long ago."

What Jack was talking about was naturally the previous escort mission.

"To be precise, it's the last mission."

In Karl's voice, Victor sighed: "It seems that next time I perform surgery on you, I really can't use anesthesia."

When Victor changed Karl's prosthetic body today, he just told Karl and the others to take a rest. If they still didn't care about their bodies so much, he would not use anesthesia for their next operation. As a result, when he came in the evening, Knowing that they had taken over the task again, Victor really didn't know how to say good things to them.

"There's nothing we can do about it, Old Wei."

Oliver spread his hands helplessly and said: "This mission has a lot of rewards. It would be a pity to miss it. Don't blame Carl for taking the mission. The worst thing is that next time we modify the prosthetic body, Lao Wei, just don't give him anesthesia alone." , let him scream in pain a few times to calm you down."

"Hey, we are a team, why are you leaving me out so quickly?"

Regarding Oliver's neat behavior of betraying his teammates, Jack nodded quickly and protested against Carl.

"Okay, I won't really do it yet."

Lao Wei looked at the three of them and sighed helplessly: "But when you go this time, come to my clinic first to get the medicine, and then let me do a full body check for you. It's okay. If there is something wrong with your body, then the task It will kill you."

"Of course, we will go find you the day after tomorrow."

"Will the mission start the day after tomorrow?"

Listening to Karl's too hasty words, what else could Lao Wei say.

When he was young, he, like Carl, Oliver and Jack, all loved to risk their lives. He knew that he could not dissuade this group of young people who only saw progress, just like he could not dissuade the past. Like himself, all he can do is to help them as much as possible behind the scenes.

At Victor's age, I don't know how many friends he has seen die. It is always good to see one less.

"But speaking of it, the mercenary industry is really amazing."

Oliver drank a beer of 'Brothers' Good Ale' and said: "The eldest lady who escorted Arasaka a few days ago will help the military technology officer today. The disputes in the company are like an extension of their hands and feet, and we are The daggers and guns on his hands and feet are loose and can be snatched away by two hands at any time. "

"It's a good description of Oliver, but it sounds like we are talking about street sex dolls."

While Jack was praising him, he felt that the description was not very pleasant.

Sex dolls: A group of special workers who sell their bodies through microchip implantation.

"Actually, it's not that bad."

As Karl spoke, he crazily stuffed Mrs. Wells's fried French fries into his mouth: "They sell their bodies for money, we sell our bodies for money, stop being professionally discriminatory, it's not easy, at least we have a choice, How many people can they choose?”

"Damn, listening to what you said, Karl, I actually think it makes sense, damn it."

Jack scratched the pigtails on the back of his head, but noticed that Carl had almost finished the fries he had brought.

"I ate a whole bucket in less than half an hour. Carl, you are exaggerating."

"It's delicious. I love it. Do you care? Mrs. Wells asked you to bring it to me. You didn't fry it."

"Then can I take care of it?"

Oliver pointed to the crumbs of French fries that fell on the ground in front of Carl: "This is my room! If you, Carl, open your mouth while eating French fries for me again, I will pick up the French fries from the floor and stuff them into your mouth. It's well closed."

‘Okay. ’

Karl didn't speak, but just made a zipper gesture with his hand on his mouth, puffed up his cheeks and chewed French fries, indicating that he would definitely abide by it.

Anyway, it's really not polite to talk while eating.

After chewing the fries in his mouth, Karl nodded to Lao Wei:

"Forget it, let's get back to the topic, Lao Wei, I'm sorry, we obviously invited you to have a dinner and have a night of drinks, but before that, we have to make you wait for us to discuss the mission."

"Lao Wei, I still have some patience. You can continue to talk."

When Victor raised his glass, Karl spoke: "If we want to get information from a company dog, we may have to change our approach this time."

"Let's try another method of action... Our previous actions were never justified by drawing out guns."

Oliver didn't quite understand what Carl meant by changing his method of action. Could it be...

"Are you going to play some kind of infiltration, coercion, and bondage? I've seen Japanese themes, and the target is the Japanese in Arasaka Company."

"I told you, stop watching Mewtwo."

Karl was speechless and said: "I want to say that now I know that I am famous in Arasaka. Basically, all normal employees in Arasaka know me. We can't just use this face to enter the Tanaka residence in this mission. Then kidnap him, we have to find a way."

Jack somewhat understood what Carl meant: "Are you planning to hide your face?"

"I guess there will be a follow-up to this mission. Then I may have to perform some work such as stealing and robbing the prosthetic King Kong. It's not good to finish everything in one trip. If there are missions, I can get more rewards. I can't help it. Do it.”

What Carl meant was that if their identities were exposed when they were investigating the Cyborg King Kong, then the subsequent tasks of military technology might be handed over to other mercenary teams or they could do it themselves. In that case, there would be one less task.

"You are such a mission-crazy brain, and isn't this just like what I said? Japanese ninjas sneaked in, tied up, and coerced. No problem, why can't you watch it?"

"Damn, who knows you can actually take this seriously?"

"Huh? Is there anything inappropriate about this thing?"

Listening to Oliver's unclear question, Karl realized that this time it was his own thoughts that were dirty.
