Interdimensional science and technology starting from cyberpunk
Chapter 3 The middleman must learn to show off
In the cyberpunk world, the original Internet was blown up by the legendary hacker Bartmos. Any hacker who tries to directly access the original Internet will be attacked by AI.
Therefore, the current network model is that people access the Internet through the LAN provided by network surveillance, so on a network scale, everyone is separated.
Atlanta belongs to the Rust Belt Network Administrative Region. If you want to transfer data from the Taiping State area to which Night City belongs, you can't do it without some levels.
This place covers the central and eastern regions of the United States, covering a large number of giant buildings, while Atlanta is the core of the city. It is developed and stable, but before V came here, he only knew that this was a very prosperous place.
In fact, except for corporate dogs, no one frequently flows between different network domains. Information communication in this world is both broad and narrow, technically superb but narrow in practical application.
And the way Leer was talking made V look at this purely physical human being a few times--
After all, street boy V is just a street kid with no culture.
Seeing V's appearance, Lille secretly pumped his fist to celebrate the victory in the second stage, and also achieved some results in the third stage.
The first stage of successful communication is when the other party is willing to listen to him, the second stage is when the other party starts to ask questions, and the third stage is when the other party starts to think about what you are saying -
And you know that he will eventually believe you.
"V, Atlanta is not suitable for you, not for a street boy like you. You dream of making big money, but the only way left for the bottom here is to work honestly.
But you don’t want to do those boring and tedious jobs, so you have to leave eventually, and believe me, you will have to spend at least a year in jail before you leave.
Now I will give you the second way - do you want to make a big fortune? "
Say half of the story and then get straight to the point.
Instead of going through his communication process step by step, Lille got right to the point.
He wanted to stretch out his hand, but found that his body was too weak, so he could only put his hand tremblingly on the table, making a handshake gesture.
If his physical condition was normal, he would be sweating like crazy right now——
The handshake represents the third stage of success, and even leads directly to the fourth stage - closing the deal.
But for such a risky move, the success rate will never exceed 50%.
Unless the other person is a street kid who wants to be famous.
It is impossible for such a person to swallow the anger of being fooled, and there is also an opportunity to make a lot of money here - robbing the company dog is no burden to V.
It is very prudent to advance the conversation slowly, but if you say too much, you may be wrong. Lille must seize the information he knows for sure and maximize his advantage.
V did not put down the gun, but looked Leer up and down: "What's your name?"
"Lil Li - so you just need to call me Li Er. This is both my English name and my Chinese name."
"Weird name - you look so ugly, put on some clothes."
V didn't shake hands, and casually pulled some clothes to Lille: "Put it on, and then tell me what you want to do - but say it first, I'm just listening."
Leer took the clothes and said: "Move Mr. Zhu Shen to the car and find a safe place to talk."
Putting on new clothes - a pair of dark green dirty cropped pants and a white lab coat, Lille felt like a human again, although not quite, looking like one of those homeless bums on the streets of Night City. .
The core of the city, Atlanta, is prosperous and safe. Unlike driving on the road where you may be hit by rockets from gangs, what you can feel here is the prosperity of technology and the greatness of mankind.
Towering buildings, well-ordered traffic flows under intelligent algorithms, hurried crowds, sparkling floating cars flying across the sky from time to time, and clean and atmospheric holographic projection promotional videos can be seen everywhere.
The basis for achieving all this is absolute surveillance and absolute capital punishment for cyber crimes.
It is impossible to hide traces on the Internet, and naturally it is impossible to hide the actual criminal behavior.
Everyone is monitored, everyone is safe, this is Atlanta.
After passing the viaduct, the car drove all the way to the edge of the city. It was still very safe here, at least there were no gunshots everywhere.
But it is very dark here, people’s eyes are dull, fatigue is their standard, and poverty is a disease destined to haunt them for a lifetime or even several generations.
"If I were to do nothing every day like these guys, I might as well die."
While driving, V suddenly complained.
"People are very patient. Not everyone is like you, V."
V glanced at Lear in the passenger seat: "What about you? You don't look like those company dogs. A bald donkey can know so many things?"
"First of all, I'm not a bald donkey, and secondly - why do you think I'm not a company dog?"
"Haha, you don't even have a high-end prosthetic body, so why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?"
"Look, this is where you are ignorant." Lille decisively launched a belittling mode. For the sake of his own life, he used some means when necessary.
"If the company only likes guys with full-body prosthetics, then all members of the Uzumaki Gang are not allowed to join the company to receive trauma team insurance? Wake up, V, the degree of prosthetics is not the company's biggest concern at all.
They are originally producing prosthetics, and their talents other than prosthetics are more important."
Lille wasn't lying - strictly speaking, in his previous life, he was considered a corporate dog in the eyes of street guys like V.
If you can work in a company if you are in good health, then the company will be full of sports students.
嗗--
The harsh sound of brakes interrupted Leer's talk, and the inertia almost threw him against the glass.
"I can kill you with a sudden brake, and you're still pretending?"
Lil looked at V who closed the door and got out of the car with a helpless expression.
This girl is really hot-tempered - well, the V I control in the game is even more violent, the one in the Violent Terror Mobile Team.
This place is a temporary residence that V found - a metal house that no one wants. You only need to pay 120 euros a month to the rental company.
That's right, it's such a shabby house made of iron sheets, with no smart lines, no physical network channels, nothing, only an unstable power supply line and land use rights, which costs 120 euros a month.
The advantage is that you can avoid law enforcement, but the disadvantage is that you can avoid law enforcement. If you don't have something to do, you won't dare to sleep here.
boom.
Zhu Shen was thrown to the ground, and V said: "Okay, what do you want to do?"
"Find out what their secret business is, and then determine how much we can make."
V was stunned for a moment: "You said you were just kidding me."
Lear explained: "Yes, your employer tricked you, but the reason he hired you is probably because they can't deal with the authorities - what did you tell your employer during this time?"
"I said I was still chasing those scavengers - she really didn't suspect it, but I guess it was only a matter of time before she found out."
"It's okay to wake this guy up. It's just a physiological awakening. Don't help him remove the isolation chip."
"That's a lot to ask for."
With that said, V took out the pneumatic injection and gave it to Mr. Zhu.
"call--"
As if returning from hell, the man took a deep breath and exhaled, looking around in horror:
"You--who are you? Where am I?"
"We are your saviors - depending on your answers, you could be in heaven or hell - and I guess you've discovered that your system has been hacked."
"Damn it!" Zhu Shen was stunned for a moment, then growled after realizing that all the prosthetic bodies in his body could not be used, "Let me go, and I can give you more money."
It must be said that Mr. Zhu was quite calm, and it only took him a few seconds to regain his composure - at least on the surface.
Lear touched his chin: "So you have already guessed who did it to you?"
Company dogs still have a very keen sense of smell when it comes to intrigues, especially when they have already been tricked. If you continue to blame the scavenger, you are not up to par with your IQ.
Zhu Shen raised his head and looked at Lille warily: "Let me go, I can give you a sum of money, and then pretend that this never happened."
"Hmph, you are indeed a company dog, and you are still talking so rudely at this time." V sneered from the side.
Lear said: "Look, if you understand your situation, you should know that if we give you money and let you go, we will definitely die - and you will die too.
But we can definitely continue to act according to the employer's script, and at least we can reimburse transportation expenses and so on. "
Zhu Shen said, "Then you can continue acting."
Leer smiled and said nothing, and just made eye contact with the company executive. After a few seconds, Zhu Shen's face began to turn blue.
The system virus will cause his prosthetic body to become disordered, causing dizziness and nausea that interfere with his judgment and make it difficult for him to maintain his thoughts.
But just as Lille thought, he did not immediately restore the system and call the police - this is a good thing, indicating that the reward is generous.
Lear said: "But you guessed it, the employer is not very honest with us, and I don't like to be deceived - so give you a chance, we can help you, as long as you pay more - of course, it must be very high high.
You know, you are very lucky. I just came out and am very receptive to this kind of high-risk life. "
"Ugh-" Zhu Shen started to retching, but he quickly adjusted.
Raising his head, he glanced at Lear, then at V, and finally said to Lear: "I will only talk to you."
Lear was overjoyed, but he controlled it very well, and those pretentious film and television materials flashed through his mind crazily——
The middleman can be poor or weak, but he must be able to show off, especially in front of mercenaries.
"Okay - heaven is to the left, V, please open the door on the left for this gentleman."
V opened the door on the left with a strange expression.
The iron room does have two rooms, but the other room is a toilet. It is impossible for Zhu Shen to go into the toilet to talk, right?
A pretentious bald ass.
