Cyberpunk: Raising the Corporate Dog

There were 100 people when V came out, but now there are less than half left, and almost all of them are wounded.

The car was driven by Jingxuan, and she was sitting in the passenger seat, feeling irritable, biting her lip, and tapping on the window with her fingertips:

"The mission is accomplished, but the loss is too great. I'm afraid I'll be demoted if I go back like this. I tried to hack that guy from Kangtao before the battle, and found that he didn't have any prosthetic limbs, only Si'an Westan. Really. I don’t understand how I could be defeated by this piece of meat..."

Brother Gou complained: "If V knew Chen Yang's history, he wouldn't feel so uncomfortable."

Jingxuan asked in her mind: "I can absorb all the memories of your dog brother in Relic, but this operation is too harmful to the brain, so you should tell me yourself. I just experienced some things last time Bridget intervened outside. The clip was quite nerve-wracking, I felt nauseous and had a headache for a whole day.”

Brother Dog: "Well, Bridget helped me recover deleted files that time. The main reason is that my relic has not been formatted, otherwise it would not be recovered. Chen Yang is a time traveler."

Jingxuan: "You already said this when you were negotiating with him. Let's talk in detail."

Brother Gou: "Chen Yang has lived in the original world for 32 years. Their world is actually very similar to ours. The names of all places are the same, and the level of technology is not as good as ours. The company does not dominate the world, and the United States has never disintegrated in their world. But they were defeated by the Central Plains. The Central Plains became the dominant country, and the others became vassals and established the Central Plains Federation. Although the companies there were not very good, the world was not much better than ours. Ordinary people's lives are just as difficult. , hopeless.”

Jingxuan: "Um? Global unification?"

Brother Dog: "Yes, Chen Yang was a guard at first, and later he also achieved some political achievements. He is a front-line combatant in their world, and he can fight at the top... Haha, of course, this is nonsense, so I am also very Can fight."

Jingxuan: "So when you fight him, your technique and consciousness are the same. Even the position where you hurt the opponent is the same."

After saying that, Jingxuan looked down at her bandaged thigh.

Brother Dog: "You think too highly of me. In fact, I am not as good as him in terms of technology and consciousness. I only managed to draw with him by using so many advanced implants in my body. My copy of his memory ended 10 years ago." . In human terms, he has ten years more experience than me."

Jingxuan: "I don't agree with this statement. In the end, you obviously won."

Brother Dog: "Have you forgotten that V fought first? Moreover, Chen Yang is purely physical, and his physical strength will be severely reduced later. As long as he continues to use up, his combat power will plummet."

Jingxuan: "Then if he also lets go of installing implants, wouldn't it be like a matter of seconds?"

Brother Dog: "As far as I know, he won't... He takes too much care of his body, which has been trained for 40 years. Okay, comfort V, but be careful with your words. After all, between the two of us, After discussion, the semi-finished relic has been handed over to Chen Yang, that is, Kang Tao."

Jingxuan: "There is nothing we can do about it. After all, the prosthetic body is running out of energy. Even if we kill Chen Yang, how will we deal with the more than 100 people in Kangtao outside?"

Then Jingxuan started to speak selectively, connected the data cable to V, and performed a full-body diagnosis.

V's body had been hacked, which gave Jingxuan a good reason:

"Look, when you were dueling with him, you were sneak-attacked by the hacker next to you. You were fragmented, and then you were unprepared and kicked unconscious by Si'an Westan's accelerating kick. It's not embarrassing at all. The person who really wins the duel will be you, Wa Riley.”

V listened to Jingxuan's explanation and felt that it made sense and was not a mess.

She saw a large, dark mass of troops heading towards her ahead.

Jingxuan scanned with her prosthetic eyes and spoke in a disdainful tone:

"Haha, Arasaka's large army, the battle is over, they are here."

. . . . . .

The bridge of the aircraft carrier Kujira.

Arasaka Hanako has returned to his usual calm and calm state:

"Michiko, you are a good man. You have averted a catastrophe."

Michiko also breathed a sigh of relief. She definitely didn't want to see Night City being razed.

I really didn’t expect Grandpa Saburo to take Relic so seriously.

In order not to leak the Relic technology, they were not even willing to take the risk of sending a large force to snatch Herman.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, preparations for the launch of nuclear bombs were actually made. . . From Hua Zi's behavior, she has determined one thing. Aunt Hua Zi is absolutely obedient to Grandpa.

Although Michiko is a member of the Arasaka family, she is also the family member furthest away from the center of power of Arasaka.

She grew up in the United States and does not have such a strong "Arasaka consciousness".

For her, all she needs to do is run the North American Arasaka well. The world is a big place, and she just needs to hold on to her own territory.

This nuclear bomb crisis made Michiko re-examine the Arasaka family.

His father, Kei Arasaka, died in the 2023 nuclear explosion in Yoyo City.

Thinking about it again, Grandpa Saburo is really scary, and Aunt Hua Zi is not as gentle and indifferent as she usually looks.

Her father, Kei Arasaka, blindly followed Saburo Arasaka, which Michiko never recognized.

Of course, Michiko was still very young when Arasaka Kei was active, and she learned these things piecemeal from some of her father's separate chips.

Maybe, we should find a way to contact Uncle Lai Xuan? This idea flashed into Michiko's mind for the first time, and she couldn't help but shudder.

At this moment, the seeds of resistance sprouted in Michiko's heart. . .

She said goodbye to Hanako and returned to Arasaka Tower. V was already waiting to report the situation to her.

V had lost more than fifty elite employees this time. He was feeling uneasy and mentally prepared to be punished.

But the result was exactly the opposite. Instead of convicting Michiko, she was promoted again.

This was something V himself couldn't even digest. . .

Michiko naturally has her own reasons for supporting V.

First, due to his active performance, V completed the mission and even saved the entire Night City.

Second, Michiko needs such an airborne soldier, someone who has no nepotistic relationship with other Arasaka factions.

V is not only strong in ability, but also has a clean background. The current situation is changing rapidly, and Michiko is in urgent need of a reliable and loyal dog.

She patted the still confused V on the shoulder:

"Do a good job, Miss Valerie, the deputy general manager of BeiMi."

. . . . . .

On the other hand, Chen Yang also returned to Kangtao Building with the relic semi-finished product. He stood in front of the glass wall and looked at the Arasaka Tower next to him, full of expectations.

He had just fought against Arasaka, and then both sides' headquarters were in the Night City Company Plaza. This was not the first time Chen Yang had experienced this strange feeling.

He expects this for two reasons:

First, although Herman is "dead", as Brother Gou said, Herman will never show up again after being captured this time. To the forces outside Arasaka, he is indeed dead.

I brought back the relic copy again, which is a great achievement.

Chen Yang, who has specialized in relic intelligence stealing projects in recent years, knows very well that Anders Hermann actually enjoyed the results of Otto Cunningham and Miyuki Aso. Otto laid the foundation and Miyuki upgraded. Mann just changed the name of the project to relic.

Relic Project Director, in name only.

Second, he gave up on something he had not thought about for many years and returned to his original world.

Chen Yang was not a fool. He knew that Brother Gou probably just fooled him, but he was willing to try his luck.

People who have never left home will not understand the pain of homesickness, let alone the emptiness of coming to a different world.

Kang Tao's second-in-command, Huo Yuan, flew from the Central Plains to the United States and summoned Chen Yang.

His attitude chilled Chen Yang. This man looked arrogant and condescending, and his body language and eyes all showed his contempt for Chen Yang:

"Herman is dead? How did you do it? I think you, the director of military tactics, are not qualified! You can't even handle a job like this? Any low-level employee in the Central Plains is better than you!"

Chen Yang felt his blood pressure rise immediately. He was very angry. He suppressed his anger and took out the relic copy from his pocket, and spoke patiently:

"The battle was very fierce when robbing people. I believe you have seen it through drones or satellites. This time the smart weapons were disrupted by the opponent, which led to the defeat of the battle. I have been suggesting that the Kangtao troops practice more traditional firearms, but I got the relic came back."

Brother Gou and Chen Yangming said that this is a reduced version of relic.

Chen Yang also asked someone to analyze the chip on the spot. It did contain part of his memory. Although it was incomplete, the chip was indeed genuine.

But it is absolutely impossible to tell Huo Yuan that this is not the complete version. If he doesn't tell him, no one in Kangtao will know.

Kang Tao was exposed to Relic for the first time.

Huo Yuan roughly pulled out the relic copy from Chen Yang's hand. He was the leader who opposed Chen Yang's shooting training for Kangtao soldiers.

That's what he said, "The future will definitely be an era of smart weapons, and traditional hand sights will definitely withdraw from the stage of history."

"Chen Yang, your mission has been completed, but the work was very poor. I am not satisfied. You can go down now!"

Two days later, Chen Yang saw Huo Yuan's email on his office computer and copied all Kangtao's senior executives.

According to his description, getting the relic was due to him, Huo Yuan, and he didn't mention anything about Chen Yang's long-term efforts.

In fact, Chen Yang had already expected such a result, fucked the company, fucked Huo Yuan. . .
