Start in Night City

It wasn’t that he deliberately hid it from Lidya Su.

But he only knew that it was V who asked Jack to go out.

But what exactly did it do?

Peppa doesn't know.

Su Xiao suddenly thought of eating a hamburger with milk.

He gave V three hundred thousand euros yesterday.

And Jack helped find his own apartment.

Then it's probably because V wants to ask Jack to find an apartment for himself.

That's why I left the Wild Wolf Bar so early.

The more Lidya Su thought about it, the more she felt that it must be like this.

Although Lidya Su's reasoning is reasonable.

But no matter how hard he thought about it, he would never think of it.

The truth is more than that.

In addition to finding an apartment, the more important thing is that V wants Jack to give him advice.

When it’s Lidya Su’s birthday, what kind of gift should be given to Lidya Su?

…

Lidya Su planned to sit in the bar for a while.

If I have rested and V and Jack haven't come back yet.

Then use this free time to make a batch of more technical weapons.

No one thinks the money is too little.

Even if the real money is just a string of numbers, Su Xiao hopes that the more the string of numbers, the better, and the longer the better.

"Hey, are you interested in picking up a job?"

At this time, a voice came from the side.

Lidya Su turned her head.

The speaker is wearing sunglasses.

In his forties.

He's quite tall, doesn't have a beer belly, and has a pretty good figure.

Wearing a striped shirt and trousers.

There is also an exquisite watch on her wrist.

Lidya Su has seen this person.

Some impressions.

He sometimes comes to the Wolf Bar.

From what others have said, it seems that he is still a reporter.

As for what the name was, Su Xiao didn't pay special attention.

"do what?"

"Get rich, do me a favor and go somewhere with me. Are you interested?"

Lidya Su looked him up and down.

"You should find a middleman first for this matter."

"If you fall for the middleman, they will steal your money. They are just second-rate dealers. We don't need middlemen. We will deal with you directly and you can get more rewards. Are you not willing to do such a good thing?"

The rule of Night City is that when an employer has a job, he first sends it to a middleman, who then makes the connection and contacts suitable mercenaries.

If we take online shopping as an example, the middleman is like a platform, responsible for coordinating employers and mercenaries.

If there is a dispute between the two parties, the middleman will step forward to level the playing field.

Of course, just like there are many shopping websites, there is more than one middleman in the city.

There are some that are reliable, and there are naturally some that are unreliable.

Or the mercenary can also directly connect with the employer, but if something happens in the future, there will be no way to find a middleman to settle things.

Lidya Su glanced at the reporter a few more times.

I feel that the other party will not play tricks on me.

Of course, even if he really plays tricks on himself, he still has the ability to make him run out of juice.

"Okay, but you have to explain clearly what you want to do first. I hate the Riddler."

"My name is Max Jones, and I'm a reporter, but don't confuse me with those corporate mouthpieces."

Max adjusted the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose: "This morning, a person named Esteban contacted me. We did not discuss any details on the phone, but agreed to meet offline. I hope you can protect me." My safety."

Su Xiao used the last bit of bread to wipe off the remaining sauce on the plate and stuffed it into his mouth: "Are you afraid of meeting your informant?"

"First, he is not my informant; second, you don't know how dangerous it is to go against the company. I don't know this person named Esteban. He may really have dirty information about the company, but Or it could be a trap to lure me into."

"I'm not sure, that's why I came to you. I know you, the bar owner's son, and a girl, you are all mercenaries."

"I can pay you money, but only if you can save my life so that I can live and continue to expose the company's dark secrets."

Max's expression was determined.

It's not pretending.

But he really sticks to his principles.

At the same time, he is not stupid.

You know how risky this business is.

It is common for a person who is not careful to commit suicide by being shot more than a dozen times in the back.

That's why he came to find mercenaries to protect him.

Under the oppression and shadow of corporate colonialism, most

One can only surrender.

And warriors like Max who dare to fight against the company are worth less than gold.

Therefore, Lidya Su is willing to help if he can.

"Okay, I'll take this order."

Su Xiao asked Max to wait for him.

He called Jack.

"Su, what's wrong?"

"I just received a commission here, it's a protection mission..."

Lidya Su said quickly.

"How long do you have until you can get back?"

For some reason, Jack's tone sounded a little anxious and rushed: "Uh, Su, now is not the time to talk. I'm a little busy here... I have to hang up first and talk again when I have time."

Don’t wait for Lidya Su to say anything else.

Jack cut off contact.

"Dududu——"

Listen to the busy tone after hanging up.

Lidya Su was in a daze.

I don’t know if it’s Lidya Su’s illusion.

He always felt like he could hear gunshots and explosions faintly in the background.

Did V and Jack happen to accept a commission when they went out?

Lidya Su is not particularly worried about the safety of the two of them.

Neither V nor Jack are the kind of people who deliberately show off their strength and then get themselves covered in bruises.

Su Xiao would not take it for granted that V and Jack could not do tasks independently without her.

Because that would really look down on people.

They were born in Night City and are more adaptable to the rules of this city than themselves.

Moreover, when Su Xiao helped the priest make technical weapons, he also took out some materials and parts.

Both of them were equipped with technical weapons, and the shotguns were replaced with cannons.

What if there were some blind scavengers or gangsters who got involved with them?

What should be worried about is the other side.

Facing Max's doubtful look.

"My partner has something going on. It seems there are only two of us on this trip."

Chapter 36: Gu, kill me (bushi)

The difference between the industrial area in the north of the city and the relatively more prosperous Little Chinatown and Kabuki District is visible to the naked eye.

The roads are narrower and the houses are lower.

There isn't much traffic either.

Especially the further north you go, the greater the gap becomes.

"You look a little nervous," Lidya Su looked down, "Your hands keep shaking, are you cold?"

In the passenger seat, Max put his hands in his pockets.

"Watch the road, please. Thank you."

Lidya Su smiled.

"Don't worry, I'm not Xiao'er. If there is an ambush on the other side, I will take us away safely."

To the ambush that Max feared.

Lidya Su didn’t take it very seriously.

His tactical eyepiece has a scan mode.

If there was an ambush, he would have discovered it from all the way.

Then he turned around and ran away.

"Not far ahead...wait, what is that?"

Max's eyes widened.

Staring straight at the sky.

Seeing his reaction, Lidya Su also looked up at the sky curiously.

I saw two heavy-duty aerial vehicles, all pitch black, slowly rising into the air from not far ahead.

The propeller at the bottom spurted out blue fire, and quickly left with the heavy aerial vehicle.

Although the speed was very fast, the two of them could still clearly see the painted logo on the floating car——

Arasaka clover! ! !

Lidya Su and Max looked at each other.

They could see the unconcealed surprise in each other's eyes.

Max's back was slumped against the passenger seat.

As if losing strength.
