The members of the game Group of Ten Thousand Worlds are all myself

"Is this really Taipingzhou? Damn it! This has changed too much."

Jack drove into Taipingzhou, which was under construction again, with astonishment on his face, as did V and Xia Yu in the back seat.

Especially Xia Yu, no one knows how much Taipingzhou has changed than him. After all, the last time he came to clean it, he had touched the place up and down, left and right.

But now, he almost thought he was in the wrong place!

Those damn unfinished buildings are being renovated, and they are completely different from the shabby appearance they once had.

The number of homeless people who once filled the streets has also decreased significantly. Those who have lost hope in life seem to have regained hope of moving forward.

The crumbling infrastructure is being re-stabilized, and the rampant gang violence has disappeared. Although residents walking on the streets still rarely smile, at least there is some sparkle in their once dull eyes.

"Nah, is this really Taipingzhou?"

Jack drove the car slowly and looked at the brand new Taipingzhou. He even saw that many people were repainting the walls and covering all the graffiti on the buildings with white paint.

If he read correctly, those graffiti were the symbols of the Voodoo Gang and the Scavengers respectively, a means for the gangs to assert their dominance.

But now everything seems to be different, order seems to have returned here, and the gangs that once ruled here have been wiped out by new white paint like their own graffiti logos.

"Ahem, Jack, focus on driving, you almost hit someone just now."

V's reaction was not that big. After all, she had just returned to Night City, and she didn't have much emotion about the changes in Taiping Continent.

And even when she worked in Night City, she always shuttled between companies and never cared about this poor place.

"Oh, it's true, people here don't watch the road!"

Jack hurriedly turned the steering wheel and drove the car back from the sidewalk to the driveway, unable to help but curse a little.

After driving for a while, Jack asked: "Then let's just sneak into that company called Metal Gear Solid to inquire about the situation?"

"It will be like this if we go according to the plan, but the plan is not a panacea. It is more about adapting to circumstances." V shrugged and replied. She had always left the matter of gathering information to others, but this was the first time she had done it herself. Take action.

In terms of experience, she is definitely not as good as Jack and the others, but she followed because she understands the company's operating model and knows which information is important and which information is deceptive.

If she didn't do it herself, Jack and others might just find a pile of garbage for her, and it would be all in vain.

"Improvement?"

Jack murmured, and at this moment, Xia Yu suddenly said: "Then I will set up an encrypted direct route, which can avoid all inspections and allow us to go directly to the headquarters building of Metal Gear Solid."

"Do you need some time?" Jack turned around and asked casually.

"Of course, but it only takes a few bottles of wine, so it won't take long."

"Then I will go to the streets to find out information. After all, this is what I am most familiar with. Sometimes street information can often bring some unexpected effects. Just call me when you leave."

Jack said with a smile as he drove the car to a nearby bar parking space.

After parking the car, Jack opened the door and got out of the car, and went directly into the bar. V did not follow him. Her corporate attire would look very awkward next to Jack who was dressed in street attire.

Xia Yu just sat in the car and sneaked into the network. He really planned to find an encrypted direct route through his hacking skills.

When it comes to doing tasks, you must be serious about it.

Seeing that Jack and Xia Yu were both starting to do their own things, V had no choice but to lean on the seat with his arms folded and close his eyes to relax.

This operation put a lot of pressure on her. It could almost be said that she was walking on a tightrope. If she failed, she would definitely fall off the tightrope and be smashed to pieces.

Hope everything goes well.

Not long after, the yellow stripes on Xia Yu's mask lit up, and he returned from the online world.

"It's done, we should go."

Hearing this, V's eyes lit up with data streams, and she was informing Jack.

A few minutes later, Jack returned safely.

"Drive, leave!"

Jack, who sat in the driver's seat again, held the steering wheel and drove forward. He also received the route sent by Xia Yu.

After watching for a while, Jack couldn't help but start talking again. He couldn't sit still and had to chat even while driving.

"Hey, you guys know what I just found out at the bar?"

"..."

"What did you find out?"

Seeing that Xia Yu had no intention of responding, V had no choice but to reply along the lines of Jack.

"I actually heard them talking about how good this new company is. I really don't know what kind of ecstasy this new company has fed these people, and they can actually allow these people under the company to protect the company like this."

Jack said with great interest as he drove the car: "But I think this is just a sweetness given to them by the company at most. When the company finishes using these people, it will definitely sweep these idiots out of Taipingzhou like garbage. "While talking, Jack sighed again: "But these people are actually quite pitiful. I quite sympathize with these Haitians because I feel that they are somewhat similar to the Heywood people."

Haywood is the territory of Latino immigrants, mainly Mexicans.

Taipingzhou is dominated by Haitian immigrants. Although they are also Latino immigrants, Haitian immigrants settled in Taipingzhou after the island was destroyed and were not able to integrate into Heywood.

The two waves of people formed different cultures, and even their customs and beliefs were different.

The biggest difference is that while Heywood can accept other immigrants, this is not the case in Taipingzhou. The local residents are extremely unwelcome to outsiders.

But now that Taipingzhou has been demolished and rebuilt, those habits and strange customs and beliefs should also be changed.

"Don't be so pessimistic. Maybe this new company is a company with a conscience. Don't you think Taipingzhou is changing in a good direction now?"

Xia Yu sat in the back seat and gave a different point of view. After all, Metal Gear Solid was also his company, so he had to say something nice.

Moreover, what he said is true. Because he has a conscience, his company must also have a conscience.

The residents of this world have to thank the travelers for their higher moral standards than the aborigines. After all, according to normal circumstances, except for some special circumstances, most people who grow up in a civilized society will have a conscience.

It just so happens that he has no special circumstances, so even though he has been in this world for so long, he still has a conscience, and he can still recite the twenty-four-character core values.

"I asked you, do you think the company is too good?"

Jack disagreed with Xia Yu's statement: "Todos los cuervos son negros (the world is as black as crows), no matter where they are, no matter what kind of company they are, they have no conscience."

"Okay, we'll be there soon."

While chatting and driving, Jack had already driven to the destination given by Xia Yu. It had to be said that the road was indeed smooth, and they did not encounter any inspection checkpoints at all.

After driving the car to the parking spot given by Xia Yu, Jack got out of the car, opened the trunk, and took out his two favorite kinetic energy pistols.

"I'm going to have to dye this thing gold sooner or later."

While testing the smoothness of the pistol, Jack showed his love for the gun to V: "And I've even thought of a name for it. Once it's dyed gold, I'll rename it the Golden Lady."

"It's tacky, what age is it, and it uses golden weapons."

While complaining about Jack's aesthetics, Xia Yu took out his Youxing Heyu from the trunk, waved it and said with some yearning.

"If you ask me, the neon color looks better. Sooner or later I'm going to stab someone with a long knife that flashes neon light. It's so cool."

"You want to kill someone with a light tube?"

Jack also disliked Xia Yu's aesthetics. Who would kill someone with a colored light tube? This is just too weird okay.

"What? Do you want to test how fast my knife is?"

"My gun is not bad either!"

Looking at Xia Yu and Jack who were suddenly arguing like children, V couldn't help but cover his forehead and sigh. How long has it been? They are still fighting over such trivial matters.

"Okay, you two, by the way, your weapons only have two small pistols and a cold weapon long knife? Don't you have any more powerful weapons?"

V looked at Xia Yu holding a long knife and Jack holding a gun with both hands, and couldn't help but frown and asked.

You don't even have a submachine gun. How do you break out if you are discovered?

"Don't worry, V. Although the ghost's weapon is only a long knife, it is much more powerful than a submachine gun."

Jack nudged V with his elbow and gave a reassuring look. However, in response to Jack's words, V rolled his eyes and showed no reassurance at all.

She has never seen Xia Yu's strength. Until now, she only thought that Xia Yu was a high-end hacker who had some fighting ability and didn't need a hacker chair.

"Hold these, luckily I'm well prepared."

V took out the box he brought with him from the trunk, then placed it on the ground and opened it, revealing the weapons inside.

"TKI-20 Shingen, a smart submachine gun made by Arasaka, can fire tracking bullets at high speed. This is much better than the two little guys you have."

"Don't talk nonsense, they are obviously big steel cannons."

Jack put away his guns with some annoyance. Although he didn't want to admit it, the weapons V brought were indeed better than his guns.

"And you, put away your long knife and use this."

V took out a kinetic assault rifle and handed it to Xia Yu, but Xia Yu just shook his head and said: "To be honest, I am more accustomed to using a knife than a gun. It is a pure waste to give it to me."

Although Xia Yu was telling the truth, it sounded to V that the hacker didn't know how to use a gun, so she didn't insist anymore and handed the gun directly to Jack.

"You still let me hold it?"

Jack took the gun speechlessly and slung it on his body. Now he was like a human-shaped weapons arsenal, carrying four guns on his body, two of which were submachine guns and rifles.
