Taipingzhou.

This revitalized area is no longer the dirty mess it once was. After reconstruction, Taipingzhou has clean and tidy neighborhoods. Various unique boutique shops are opened on the roadside. The people strolling on both sides of the road are no longer dressed in colorful clothes. gang members, but real tourists.

Boutique shops suitable for all ages, temporary prosthetic clinics blooming everywhere, and wandering among them are groups of happy tourists on the street...

This picture that originally only existed in imagination now really appears in front of everyone.

"Hello everyone! Welcome to Handsome Jackpot. Here, you will definitely have the most unforgettable time..."

In the center of the casino, Handsome Jack's projection head is chattering endlessly introducing the city. As long as you step into this area, you can see the big blue projection head that can almost be regarded as a landmark building.

"Tsk, that's really narcissistic."

Jack, who drove here again, couldn't help but complain. This time, no one stopped them, and they drove in smoothly.

After entering Taipingzhou, Jack didn't stop and drove directly towards the company building he went to last time. Then he saw the big projection head in the middle of the city.

"I projected my big head in the middle of the city, and it was only thanks to this mask that I could do it."

"Complaints are complaints, don't be so sour in your tone."

Xia Yu smiled at Jack, and he didn't know if it was because of the name collision, but Jack could almost see to the naked eye his envy and hatred for the handsome guy Jack.

Obviously his current identity is also called Jack, but he doesn't look sad.

Oh, Handsome Jack turns out to be his subordinate. No wonder he is not bitter at all and is a little happy. That's okay.

"Why am I so angry? Don't slander me. Be careful if I sue you for slander. You are slandering me."

Hearing Xia Yu say that he was sore, Jack looked dissatisfied. Even if Xia Yu was right, it was impossible for him to admit it.

"Your sourness can be used to pickle cucumbers, and you still say that you are not sour? Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open. Sometimes you look for your own reasons. You still have no money after so many years. Have you worked hard?"

"Hey, that's too much of a personal attack."

V on the side couldn't help but feel a little relaxed as she listened to Xia Yu and Jack bickering. The two of them didn't feel nervous at all, so she didn't feel nervous at all.

"Okay, you two will be there soon."

As the most reliable person among the three, V felt that he had the responsibility to remind the two of them not to relax too much.

"Why are you nervous?"

Xia Yuhun waved his hands nonchalantly and said, "With my personality charm, that masked face would just bow down and worship me, and he might even treat me as the big boss."

"...It's not dark yet, and you're already dreaming?"

"I dare to think about it, but you don't even dare to think about it, haha~"

"Who said I don't dare to think about it!"

V glared at Xia Yu with some dissatisfaction, raised his fist and said plausibly: "I will transform two mantis knives today, and tomorrow I will dare to go to Adam Heavy Hammer for a duel, and the day after tomorrow I can beat Arasaka Tower!"

"Wow, you are awesome. You are indeed stronger. I can't even imagine a duel with Adam Hammer."

"Humph, I dare to think about it!"

Seeing Xia Yu admit defeat, V looked proud. After a few seconds, her proud expression froze and she couldn't help but cover her face with her hands.

What was she proud of just now? Was she proud of her rich imagination? Damn it, I was actually taken in.

Seeing V's awkward and helpless look, Xia Yu secretly felt proud that sooner or later he would have to train this strong woman into a female slut.

"Guys, we're here."

At this moment, Jack suddenly parked the car. Outside the car was the Metal Gear Solid Building. They were not here to infiltrate this time, so Jack parked the car directly in the parking lot not far from the door.

"GO—!"

Xia Yu got out of the car first, followed closely by V and Jack. This time it went smoothly and unexpectedly, and the security guard at the door didn't even stop them.

Two minutes later, the three of them arrived at the reception room. The person who led the way asked them to wait here and then left.

"Hey, I said..."

Jack looked around suspiciously, feeling a little uneasy: "Are they being too polite to us? This gesture doesn't look like recruiting employees, it's more like entertaining distinguished guests."

That's because I told you before coming here that this is not like entertaining distinguished guests.

Xia Yu secretly replied in his heart, and then said: "Don't think too much, maybe they are entertaining distinguished guests."

After finishing speaking, he sat on the sofa without hesitation. Seeing this scene, Jack shrugged and sat down relaxedly.

Seeing Xia Yu and Jack who were not nervous at all, V sighed tiredly.

"Just sit aside quietly later, and I'll negotiate."

As a former employee of the company, she naturally knew how to negotiate with these big shots. If Xia Yu and Jack, who were living on the streets, were brought in, it would definitely make things more complicated.

"Listen to you."

“no hay problema~(No problem~)”

Not long after, Handsome Jack showed up in person.

Looking at the masked face that had spared him and others last time, V coughed slightly, and when he was about to speak, Xia Yu suddenly kicked the table with his foot.

"Why don't you bring tea and refreshments? Is this how you treat guests?"    Jack: (⊙o⊙)

V: (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻

Jack looked at Xia Yu with admiration. This unhurried attitude and no polite words were so handsome.

Unlike Jack's admiration, V was already going crazy inside. She wanted to come directly to Xia Yu, grab him by the collar and yell, "Didn't I tell you to stop talking?" !

V looked at the handsome Jack carefully, silently praying to him not to get angry.

However, Handsome Jack's expression was completely different from what she expected. Handsome Jack was slightly startled at first, then immediately smiled and said, "Sorry, I was negligent. I'll ask someone to bring tea and snacks right away."

V: "!"

This...isn't this right? When did this person become so polite? Is she dreaming?

V only felt a little dizzy, but she did not forget what happened this time.

But after saying that, V was even more confused, because the handsome guy Jack agreed immediately without even asking why.

Until everything ended smoothly, V was still in disbelief. This was simply too smooth. Is the person in front of him really a senior executive of the company? Why are you so easy to talk to?

Do the three of them really have any talents that they haven't discovered yet? How else could they explain how the other party treated them like this? However, no matter how V thought about it, he couldn't come up with an answer.

After everything settled, handsome Jack called two more people and took Jack and V away, saying he wanted them to familiarize themselves with the company environment.

Seeing Xia Yu staying here alone, V and Jack were a little worried, but when they thought of Xia Yu's strength, they felt relieved.

Instead of worrying about the other party, it's better to take a look around this new company.

Within a moment, only Handsome Jack and Xia Yu were left in the reception room. It was only then that Xia Yu looked at Handsome Jack and asked.

"Tell me, do you have anything to report? I told you, you don't need to ask my opinion on anything you do."

Hearing this, handsome boy Jack shook his head and said, "I'm a little unsure about this matter, so I need to ask for advice."

"What's the matter?"

Xia Yu was a little curious, what else could make handsome Jack unsure about.

After handsome boy Jack brought the information, Xia Yu took it and looked at it, his eyes slightly condensed.

At the top of the document is a photo. The person in the photo is wearing a plain suit, has an ordinary appearance, and has black hair. The only attractive feature is the pair of slightly glowing blue eyes.

"Mr. Blue Eyes?!"

Looking at the person in the photo, Xia Yu was surprised. The person in the photo was obviously the mysterious NPC in the game, Mr. Blue Eyes.

It is said that Mr. Blue Eyes is the behind-the-scenes controller of Night City. There is a high probability that he is an AI that escaped from cyberspace, and there is a low probability that he is a certain boss or an alien.

It is characterized by a pair of bright blue eyes that emit a mysterious light.

"Why do you have a photo of this guy? Did he find us?"

Xia Yu looked at Handsome Jack and asked. No wonder Handsome Jack couldn't decide on this matter. After all, he hadn't told them about Mr. Blue Eyes yet. He probably wanted to ask him if he knew.

Hearing Xia Yu's inquiry, handsome Jack nodded and reported: "Yes, this person came to us on his own initiative. He seemed to have noticed that we were infiltrating the networks of other companies in Night City."

"Oh? So he came to the door to stop us?"

Handsome Jack shook his head and said, "No, he said he wanted to assist us and work with us to penetrate other companies' internal networks."

"Assist?"

Xia Yu pondered for a few seconds and asked again: "What did you find?"

There are very few descriptions of Mr. Blue Eyes in the game, so he doesn’t have any special opinions. He can only place his hopes on Handsome Jack and the others.

"We found that he is related to the Ye Group, but the specific connection has not been found yet."

"Ye's Group..."

Hearing this, Xia Yu once again looked through the information in his hand. He didn't know it until he looked at it. Only after looking at it did he realize that he was shocked.

The data contains hidden data stolen by Handsome Jack during his first attack on the Ye Group. There are quite a lot of things recorded in it, such as cooperation with rogue AI, plans to deal with other companies, etc.

But what shocked Xia Yu the most was that the founder of Night City was not completely dead.

As for how he survived, that is a deeper secret and is not recorded in the data.

The history of Night City began in 1994 with the vision of a man named Richard Knight, who was also the founder of Night City.

In the 1990s, Richard bought a small town called Morro Bay, a neglected town located near the border of southern California and northern Baja California, for his vision of utopia.

Then Richard demolished the town and rebuilt it. The newly built city was the utopia in his mind, and this utopia city that took shape was indeed a wonder. It was not only well-built, but also very loving. Safety.

Tragedy soon struck however, and four years after initial construction, Richard was murdered by unknown assailants.

The utopia he built was taken away by the mob, and the city became a haven for criminal activity.

Prostitution, violent assaults, drug trafficking and cyberattacks became commonplace, and ironically, the city was renamed Night City (Knight City) in honor of Richard Knight.

After a decade of rising crime and death rates, the corporations decide to fight back, and within a matter of days, nearly the heads of every major criminal organization are dead at the hands of unidentified mercenaries.

The Night City Council was also formed, and its first decision was to enlist the aid of the corporate powers, authorizing them to "act in the best interests of the city and establish peace and order within its limits."

Over the next few months, much of the business district and central area was cleared; over the next few years, the most littered parts of the city were pacified, razed, and rebuilt.

Thus, the company's rule over Night City began.

Now that he learned that the original founder, Richard, was not completely dead, Xia Yu was extremely surprised.

You must know that Richard died not now, but nearly eighty years ago. The medical level at that time was not as advanced as it is now, so how did the other party survive?

Richard, who is not completely dead, and the mysterious Mr. Blue Eyes... there may be some connection between the two.
