Chapter 529: So Smart, Savage King

[Bryce: The network monitoring captured a set of special signals when you just passed the Badlands stage. There is evidence that this set of signals came from an unknown agent. ]

[Bryce: It's not Arasaka, not Military Technology, not even Petrochemical, Su Petrochemical, not all the common companies with a group of high-quality agents, of course, it's obviously not related to you. ]

[Bryce: This agent seems to have participated in the investigation of Hott, but it's not clear what his relationship with the hacker named Dante is. ]

Fortunately, Bryce didn't make a fuss to see Lille like a fanatical star chaser, but Lille was very interested in what he said.

Before entering Dog Town, he needed some time to get more intelligence and figure out some doubts.

The biggest doubt was the guy named Dante. The network monitoring was obviously targeting Arasaka, and Dante was an investigation point in this chain.

However, Lille didn't know the specific situation. His main focus at the time was shifted to Muramasa, and inexplicably he had to confront the Ye Group in the end.

If we look at the situation from the perspective of conspiracy theory and the overall situation, Lille will have a very bad guess:

The initial investigation focused on the soul killer of the Arasaka Group, and the network monitoring achieved a phased victory.

But the subsequent investigation suddenly turned to Muramasa and was directly related to Blue Eyes. The confrontation came quickly and suddenly, just like halfway through a roller coaster and suddenly found out that this project was not a roller coaster, but bungee jumping.

And no matter how much Blue Eyes wants to control humans, this company is actually one of the foundations of Night City’s government:

Land is the most basic production resource of the city. No matter who wants to control Night City, they have to confront the Night Group, and Arasaka is no exception.

So from the perspective of conspiracy theory, Arasaka successfully got out of a series of investigations, and when the network monitoring gained an advantage, it got a chance to breathe--

and severely hit this, which will definitely be an obstacle on their way to Night City sooner or later.

Whoever benefits the most is the most suspicious.

Arasaka happens to be the company that is best at conspiracy. If we look at it from the perspective of the natives of this world, Saburo Arasaka is also the top player in the entire "Cyberpunk" series, and the main driving force that caused the world to become the current broken state designated by the series.

Lille has a hunch that the information on this agent will be an important part of solving the mystery.

But

[Lille: You don't want me to turn back now? Then I may have to prepare a few more nuclear bombs. ]

[Bryce: You still have? ! ]

[Lille: Haha, I'm kidding. ]

[Bryce:? ]

The dissatisfaction is beyond words, and you can feel that Bryce's blood pressure seems to have risen sharply across the network cable.

[Bryce: Our agent lost contact after being sent to the Bad Land. I was wondering if you have a few brothers in the Bad Land? ]

[Bryce: The Internet Monitoring Committee will issue a commission in the name of the official, and it is direct, but I think]

[Bryce: The company does not like me to handle these tasks related to other companies, but I want to know the truth. ]

[Lille: Not bad, you are rebellious. ]

Bryce did not reply: Is this a compliment? !

[Lille: OK, I will ask them to mess up the Internet Monitoring thing. ]

[Bryce: Huh? ]

[Click——]

The real-time communication ended, and Lille got out of the car.

The Great Empire Mall, the largest unfinished building that Taiping State lacks the most, has a large and desolate interior space. The moonlight is drawn in from the open-air light well in the center of the building, shining on the muscles of the muscular men of the Animal Gang.

The greasy sweat reflects the moonlight, making the bald heads of these men so shiny.

A strong man who has used too many steroid hormones and biological agents is trying to shake the arm in front of him with all his strength in the moonlight.

This strong man is not ordinary: first of all, she is a woman with black hair.

Secondly, this woman looks to be two meters and one meter tall, with muscles as hard as steel, and the blood vessels and tendons on the surface of her skin are as clear as the wires on the vortex gang.

As she exerts force, these muscles and blood vessels expand wildly. Looking at a certain part alone, it feels that this is not human muscle, but some kind of alien creature.

Her muscles are as strong as steel wires, pulling the heavy bones with excessive iron content. The whole person is like a high-speed crane, and you can even hear a slight creaking sound when exerting force.

This is an arm wrestling competition, and Jack is across the table.

Yes, she is having a hearty arm wrestling competition with Jack across the table.

"Drink! Drink! Drink!"

The other members of the Animal Gang roared rhythmically. Those who have the conditions use the concrete blocks next to them as drums. Those who are better off directly pick up the steel bars on the ground and hit the abandoned equipment next to them. These sounds mixed together make people feel excited.

[Sender: Bryce]

[Bryce: By the way, how did you deal with the Animal Gang? ]

[Lille: We have money and a high muscle content. ]

[Bryce: Huh? ]

Bang!

The woman's arm smashed down hard, directly cracking the concrete block used as a table, and dust flew up!

The visual impact of this scene is extremely exaggerated: although Jack is already a strong man among ordinary people, the Savage King is a giant born with drugs, and his palm is probably twice as big as Jack's head!

But.

But Jack is even eating!

Jack's face is flushed, and he stuffs food into his mouth voraciously, such as pink burritos, steamed pork with rice flour, tofu and tuna

The scene is silent, and only the sound of Jack chewing frantically remains.

The excessive amount of lizard serum and exaggerated eating have caused Jack's mandible to change significantly. If there are biologists here, they can see at a glance that the chewing range is not human, but in the eyes of the uneducated animal gang.

They think it is some kind of prosthesis at most!

And it is a prosthesis driven purely by muscle power!

"Fuck! This guy is the desert cook mentioned by NCPD!"

A bald man in the group of strong men suddenly roared, and Jack looked at the bald man with a hamburger in his mouth, and the bald man instinctively shrank.

V patted his shoulder and said jokingly, "Now you have earned this title."

Jack's opponent, known as the Savage King on the street, is also the leader of this group of animal gangs. In fact, he is also the temporary boss of the Animal Gang in name. Looking at his hand smashed into the concrete and his bloody hand, his mind went blank:

What the hell?

This guy was just a little bit strong at the beginning, and I mocked him with two sentences "Didn't you eat?" He nodded directly-

The opponent nodded, and the words were spoken, so you can't stop him from eating, right?

As a result, he ate while exerting force.

And the more he ate, the more energetic he became!

The Savage King is a pure animal gang, which means that except for the brain-computer interface and some communication devices, he has no prosthesis at all. She can't remember what she saw just now.

But she feels

Is Jack stronger than before?

This muscle. Grows in a few minutes?

Jack doesn't care so much. He grabbed another whole box of hamburgers and ate it all in one gulp, including the outer paper box packaging!

"Burp"

Jack patted his belly and gave Lille a thumbs up.

Yes, Jack is back to normal now.

The communication car is there, the AI ​​is there, Jack has also returned to basic status, the Animal Gang.

The Animal Gang worked for the network monitor for money. Now the network monitor has run away, and Lille pretended to be the network monitor, took over the car, and promised to pay them a salary

It doesn't make sense to do it as soon as you meet, and even help them work.

Of course, all this is based on the fact that the Savage King is indeed an uninformed savage.

She didn't even know that the current network paralysis was caused by a nuclear explosion.

Looking at her face full of shame and anger, as if nothing mattered except that her muscles had lost, Lille suddenly thought:

She might not even know that it was a nuclear explosion.

"This is unfair! Let's have a rematch!"

"What's unfair? My brother is arm wrestling with you with a bunch of broken implants. Look at his arm."

Lille lifted Jack's arm. The boxing champion gorilla's arms entered maintenance mode with a slight touch. All the parts popped out, showing that it was a pair of prostheses.

All the electronic equipment was broken, and the prostheses were no exception.

The gold content is high: theoretically there are no native muscle fibers in the gorilla's arms!

Even if there are, it is a very small part

Just this little bit can beat her!

Lille took out a thing that looked quite exquisite and said, "It's just a little medicine and auxiliary syringe. I can leave one for you after the job is done. Just prepare the money."

The Savage King looked at this thing. This thing is made of metals of different colors, which seems to indicate that it has very high-end functions, so high-end that the metal strength of each area needs to be strictly planned.

The screws and rivets appear firm and orderly, with smooth edges and no extra burrs, and look quite comfortable.

Several thin wires and optical fibers were neatly wound and extended, covered under a thin film, revealing a faint blue light from time to time, dimming and fading like breathing, and in the core part, a kind of light green solution could be seen.

High-end, quite high-end.

Especially the green solution, she vaguely remembered that Jack was injected with a small tube of that thing by Lille before he started to eat it.

The Savage King's eyes turned: "Still want to cut my leeks? Free! I want it for free!"

Lille pretended to laugh and said: "This thing costs hundreds of thousands! This is the company's laboratory thing! We worked hard to steal this little bit!"

The Savage King sneered and stood up. His height of more than two meters was indeed very imposing, especially when there was a large group of strong men behind him.

Jack and V also stood in front, and the atmosphere seemed to become tense.

The atmosphere was tense, and Lille waved his hand after a slightly angry look, and walked in front of the Savage King-

The scene was a bit awkward, Lille was shorter than V, and it was really awkward to stand in front of the Savage King

So he took another step back: "Okay, but I want to hire you for a long time, about ten days, and I may have to go to Dog Town, this thing will be my salary."

The Savage King was delighted: I made hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of high-tech in ten days!

I made money.

I am so damn smart, so damn good at bargaining.

Without changing his expression, the Savage King smiled triumphantly: "That's right, the boss should give more gold coins."

Lille shook his head and returned to the communication car.

I almost didn't laugh out loud.

[Muramasa: Is she a fool? You don’t want a salary, but you want a bunch of hand-made handicrafts? 】

In fact, what it wants to say is rags.

Except for a little bit of lizard serum, the "black technology implant" was real, and the rest was all made up of scraps picked up on the way here.

Lil closed the car door and finally couldn't help but laugh out loud——

So clever, Savage King.
