Start in Night City

After her revenge was over, Sasha was relieved and returned to Mann's team.

Counting Qi Wei, there are two hackers in the team.

No one has stipulated that a mercenary team can only have one hacker.

Sasha's return does not mean that Qiwei has to leave.

In addition, the Mann team has stayed away from Faraday's shit, and the cooperation with the old captain has become more and more pleasant.

It can be said that they achieve each other's success.

The old captain relies on the Mann team to bring himself closer and closer to the goal of the top middleman in Santo Domingo.

The Mann team also relied on the old captain to receive more and more jobs.

The commissions are increasing.

Everyone has a bright future.

On Su Xiao's side, she contacted the priest after that day.

Let him stop acquiring materials and parts for technical weapons, and instead change them into materials and parts for smart weapons.

At the same time, I went to Lizzie Bar and found Susie, wanting to borrow their warehouse in the industrial area in the north of the city.

Originally, he planned to rent a warehouse directly in the industrial zone in the north of the city.

But he remembered that the Mox Gang had one ready.

Instead of the rent going to outsiders.

Might as well pay it to someone you know.

But when he asked, Suzy just threw the key over.

No money was collected.

"You are kind to the Mox Gang. Use it as long as you need it. Don't talk about money. Asking for money will hurt your feelings."

It didn't take much time to deliver the parts and materials from the priest to Su Xiao.

Su Xiao took them to the Mox Gang warehouse in the industrial area in the north of the city.

Put things away.

Then after everyone else left and he was the only one left in the warehouse, he opened the panel and took a glance.

"Potential value: 120"

He invested 40 points in "Firearm Repair LV5".

"Firearm Repair LV5 → Firearms Repair LV9"

"Can additionally create/repair smart weapons"

Su Xiao glanced at the prompt, then picked up the "Xingen" smart submachine gun placed aside.

at the moment of contact.

The design drawing of this excellently designed smart submachine gun and the structure of the gun clearly appeared in my mind.

Not only the design drawings, but also a lot of firearms knowledge and maintenance experience were also instilled in his mind.

Just like he had made thousands of "Xingen" with his own hands.

Su Xiao put the "Xingen" smart submachine gun aside.

Then he took a box.

Contained inside are all materials and parts for making smart weapons.

He immediately took the materials and parts and started making them skillfully.

Not long after, those materials and parts turned into a brand new "Xingen" smart submachine gun in Su Xiao's hands.

"It's done."

Lidya Su’s face was filled with joy.

From today on, he no longer has to make technological weapons.

Instead, they were replaced with smart weapons.

As long as he is exposed to any smart weapon, with the blessing of "Firearm Maintenance LV9", he can obtain its design drawings and construction experience.

It can be copied immediately.

Since smart weapons are the most technological weapons, currently only the two top weapons manufacturers, Kangtao and Arasaka, are involved in this industry.

These two weapons manufacturers also happen to be Asian companies.

The price of smart weapons is generally higher than that of kinetic energy weapons and technical weapons.

The price of any smart submachine gun on the market is more than 50,000 euros.

More than doubled compared to technical weapons.

He can spare some time every day to make ten.

Of course.

Really good things will only be used by himself, V, Lucy, Jack, the Mann team, and the priest's men.

The smart weapons handed over to the priest to be put on the market are civilian versions, or castrated versions, modified by him with superb sword skills.

He had also done this before when making kinetic energy weapons and technical weapons.

There is no need to "give all the moves to the apprentice, and then the apprentice takes them and beats the master to death."

It seems that this sentence is not used in this way, but in short, it is enough to understand the spirit and the general meaning.

Lidya Su did the math.

If you start from today, make smart weapons instead.

Then remove the 30% of the profit distributed to the priest.

The remaining 70% is equivalent to earning 350,000 yuan every day.

unbelievable.

The arms business is indeed extremely profitable.

However, there is no rush to make smart weapons now.

Allocate the remaining potential first.

Just spent 40 potential points.

There are still 80 potential points left.

From LV1 to LV5, each level only requires 1 potential point.

But starting from LV5, each level up requires an astonishing 10 potential points.

From LV9 to LV10, a terrifying 100 points will be consumed.

Now I only have 80 potential points on the panel, which is obviously not enough to upgrade "Firearms Repair LV9" to LV10.

So Su Xiao thought for a while and chose to improve the "Strong LV5" skill.

"Strong LV5→Strong LV9"

update completed.

However, there was no subtitle prompt, nor was there the expected severe pain of marrow cleansing and menstrual bleeding, nor was there any bodily impurities discharged from the pores that were as evil as this world.

If Su Xiao hadn't repeatedly confirmed that the panel showed "Strong LV9" instead of "Strong LV5", and confirmed that the potential value indeed consumed 40 points...

He would probably think there was no upgrade.

However, he soon felt the strong physique brought by the upgraded skills.

He took off his power gauntlets and walked over to a sandbag.

Horse step, lower the waist.

Then he punched the sandbag hard.

A circle of air waves clearly visible to the naked eye spread from the sandbag.

The heavy sandbag was spun half a circle, briefly stagnant in mid-air, and then quickly fell.

After taking off the power arm armor, using only his own strength, he was able to reach a level beyond the limits of the Animal Gang's training.

Some people may not understand that human beings have limits, and no matter how hard they exercise, they cannot surpass steel. So what is the point of exercising the body?

That certainly makes sense.

For example, only soldiers with strong physiques can handle the military technology "Magic Lizard" armored vehicle.

And driving that thing requires two drivers to operate it at the same time, and one person can't even bear its heavy load.

If you are in poor physical condition, you will not be able to use this thing at all.

There is another typical

An example of this is powered armor.

Although there is no such thing in Night City.

But the Arasaka special assault force in Tokyo is equipped.

It also requires soldiers with super physical strength to wear power armor.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with maxing out your physique.

As for the last 40 potential points left, all of them were devoted to "Block LV5".

"Block LV5 → Block LV9"

There is nothing to explain this.

Because I was too afraid of pain, I raised my defense.

…

Time flies.

Another month has passed.

At this time, it has been half a year since Su Xiao and Jack came to Night City.

He, Jack, V, and Lucy, a four-person cyber mercenary team, are active in the streets of Night City.

Due to their strong strength, good equipment, and tacit cooperation, none of the commissions assigned to them by the middleman failed.

Different from the Mann team that emerged in Santo Domingo, Su Xiao had more or less connections with middlemen in almost every district in the city.

Therefore, they were able to receive commissions from different middlemen, and their reputation gradually spread throughout the city, instead of being limited to a certain city area.

As their fame gradually increased, they took on more jobs.

No, today was supposed to be a day off.

Lidya Su's email inbox was filled with emails again.

They are all commissions sent by middlemen.

Su Xiao refused one by one, saying that she would not accept guests today.

But when he turned to a commission sent by Okada Wakako.

Take a few more glances.

Then he sent a message back to Wakako, saying that he had taken the job.

The content of this commission is not complicated.

There was a company member who was kidnapped by a scavenger and was in urgent need of rescue by mercenaries.

Originally, mercenaries were generally not needed for this kind of mission.

Because guys with oily bodies like this are usually registered with the trauma team.

Whenever an accident occurs, the trauma team's floating vehicle will descend from the sky and rescue their platinum members.

But this time it was an exception.
