Chapter 148 Stop Pretending, I'm Brother Fu!

Watson, Little Chinatown.

Afterlife bar.

This is the intersection of the largest middlemen and mercenaries in Night City. Unlike the local middlemen who only manage their own territory, the middleman business of the next life covers the entire Night City.

The boss, Rogge, is also the pinnacle of all intermediaries. Even a veteran intermediary in Night City like Utako must be polite when talking to the afterlife queen.

In addition, this is also the most famous news transfer station in Night City.

In the boxes of the Afterlife Bar, the content of the conversation is absolutely safe and confidential.

Under the action of various physical tone isolation and signal jammers, the content of any conversation will not flow into the ears of outsiders.

In the slightly luxurious large box, the four members of Mann's team were sitting on both sides of the box facing David and Jack.

Between the two parties is a small table with some snacks and drinks placed on it.

The slightly dim lighting obviously couldn't conceal the suppressed excitement in the eyes of Mann and the others.

As agreed last night, they have now come to the Afterlife Bar to discuss information related to Sasha's intelligence with David.

For this reason, they obviously did not rest well.

Seeing that the few people in front of him were already sitting upright, waiting for the next conversation, David finally took the initiative to speak.

"Everyone should be here."

"Well, everyone who can act this time is here."

Mann nodded and replied to David.

The four people present were Captain Mann of the Mann team, Dorio the deputy, Rebecca the gunner, and Lucy the cyber hacker as a newcomer.

Hearing this, David directly spoke out the information that everyone wanted to hear the most at the moment without ink marks.

"Sasha is not dead, but has lost consciousness and is undergoing treatment experiments at the Arasaka Medical Institute."

"And I made a deal with Arasaka. If they can complete their commission, they will not destroy Sasha after the test, but will hand it over to us."

Although V doesn't know about the relic living body experiment being carried out on Sasha at the moment, the information she has learned with her authority is.

If the normal process is followed, once the detailed experimental data is obtained, Sasha, a test product that has lost its use value, will be destroyed by the company immediately.

This is also something that David absolutely cannot accept.

After all, perhaps in the eyes of Arasaka, Sasha is just a living test subject on the verge of brain death.

But if David can keep Sasha alive.

Then you can use both hands in the world under one person, or even the improved Blood of Ghost Dance Tsuji in the world of Ghost Slayer to give new life to the opponent.

But if Sasha is really dead, all of this will be completely impossible.

After hearing David's words, even Mann, who was originally emotional, couldn't help being stunned at this moment, and then asked anxiously.

"Can Sasha recover from unconsciousness? David, what do we need to do now?"

"Let's talk about the recovery after we are rescued. Before that, we have to make sure to complete the commission and replace Sasha from Arasaka."

While talking, David handed the chip that recorded mission-related information to Mann's hand.

As Mann inserted the chip into his slot.

The next moment, David finally explained their mission this time to everyone.

Due to the memory of his previous life, David quickly screened out the actual information related to the Nightingale Project from Arabata's information center.

The corresponding information is in the plot of the game, the side mission named White Mouse.

This mission was a reward mission offered by the Red Ocher Tribe that was overwhelmed by the Nightingale Project led by Joanne a few years later.

A medium-sized tribe with thousands of people almost fell apart because of Joanne's selfish desires.

From this, it can also be seen how little human life is worth paying attention to in this guy's eyes.

Right now, Project Nightingale has only been in progress for a few months.

The Red Ocher Tribe killed more than a dozen people just because of the Nightingale Project, and the situation of this tribe can still be controlled by the people.

So after spending some effort, David snatched this commission from Badlands from Rogge.

And they are going to send the Mann team to the Red Ocher Tribe to collect actual evidence of the Nightingale Project.

And David himself will also start the kidnapping plan for Joanne after confirming that Mann and the others have obtained relevant information.

After listening to David's arrangement, Mann couldn't help but feel a little excited looking at the information in the chip.

This commission can be disgusting enough that Biotech can avenge Sasha, and the reward is definitely considered generous.

After all, David, the new intermediary, did not receive as high a commission as the other intermediaries from the Mann team's remuneration.

In addition to wanting to continue the good relationship with the Mann team, the most important reason is that David is not bad money.

In the cyberpunk world, the price of organic food has soared to unspeakable levels.

Even a small bottle of honey collected from a real hive can fetch an outrageous price of up to 30 euros at auction.

And David, who stands behind the rest of the world group friends, obviously does not lack resources in this regard.

If it wasn't for Gloria's fear that the huge sum of money at home would make people with ulterior motives target her son, that's why she didn't change her original accommodation and living environment.

Right now, David might have brought his mother to live in a luxurious apartment.

of course.

This is why David can use the raw materials in the cyberpunk world so generously these days to forge his exclusive mechanized army.

What he lacks most is not money, but strength and influence, and even time for development.

However, after being slightly excited, Mann seriously returned the red ocher tribe's deposit to David.

This made David a little puzzled.

Could it be that the reason for the refusal was that he was afraid of offending the military technology middleman after taking over his own job?
Based on what I know about Mann and the others, this kind of situation should never happen.

But before David asked, Mann had already explained.

"David, we will accept this task, but we will not accept the commission for this commission."

"You should have paid a lot of price and energy to investigate this information and make a deal with Arasaka, right? And it should be our responsibility to rescue Sasha. It should be our responsibility to pay you so much. The reward is!"

Regarding this point, Rebecca's little head also nodded, and then looked at David with a little distress.

"That's right, you should have told us about David earlier, no wonder we've lost contact for so long and we're all worried."

Although David did not join their team, Rebecca really regarded this young man who had worked together as a trustworthy teammate.

While talking, the little loli smiled and hooked David's shoulder and patted his thigh hard.

"Don't worry, this entrusting sister will definitely cover you, and you can use it for yourself."

In this regard.

Although Dorio, who was standing aside with her arms crossed, didn't say anything, but judging from the smile in the eyes of the other party, it was obvious that it was like Mann's approach.

Such a scene made the newly joined Lucy feel deeply surprised.

Obviously, even though this girl has been in Night City for these years, she still hasn't seen such a harmonious atmosphere between a group of people who are not related by blood.

Even the eyes that led her to look at David became more and more curious.

If she had the chance, she would really like to ask this young man who looked younger than her how he did it.

But David obviously didn't mean to get paid.

Instead, he described to everyone that he became a middleman, so he resolutely threw the deposit back to Mann.

"I appreciate your kindness, but the most important thing for a middleman is integrity, isn't it? I don't want to ruin my signboard as soon as I open the business."

"What's more, once you take this job, it basically means that you have completely turned against military technology and biotechnology, and it will be difficult for you to take on other tasks."

But Mann said happily about this.

"It doesn't matter, it's good to be able to say this for Sasha, not to mention that David, your work is much more generous than other middlemen."

Obviously, Mann bet the future of his team on David without hesitation compared to the middleman who believed that they were connected only because of their interests.

The reason why David treated Mann's team so well was because of his former friendship.

The more important reason is that David, the newly promoted intermediary, now has no one else he can trust except Jack and some members of Mann's team.

Therefore, David also needs to lock the Mann team in his start-up team first, so that it will be more convenient to arrange for it to unfold later.

Seeing that the other party finally accepted the deposit, David also handed over a small black ball to the other party.

"You keep this small ball first, and after the mission starts, if you encounter a very urgent situation, press the switch and throw it out."

Obviously, this small black ball is the sac in the world under one person.

However, after learning the magic tricks, David has obviously mastered the corresponding refining methods.

And what is contained in this swallowing bag are the big treasures that David forged these days and the smoke bombs that cover up.

However, after losing the supply of David Qi, many of the forged items in it became disposable items.

So it can only be solved once after they have encountered danger.

Of course, in addition to the capsule, David also equipped the Mann team with some useful and long-lasting gadgets.

For example, the flying insect magic weapon for detection, the automatic body protection magic weapon with a certain bulletproof effect, and the invisible magic weapon that provides optical shielding effect.
A series of bizarre gadgets made Mann, a big man, see a golden light in his eyes.

If the functions mentioned by David are true, then these things will be very terrifying to improve their task efficiency.

Now he can finally understand why David, a young rookie who has not debuted for a long time, would dare to get involved with Arasaka and choose to become a middleman.

As far as these things are concerned, any one released casually is a rare commodity that the major mercenaries are rushing for.

The only pity is.

David said that these are disposable items, and it is estimated that they will be exhausted after this mission.

So if you still want to use it in the future, I am afraid that only David will have the corresponding source of supply.

But this is not something to worry about for Mann and the others. After all, they will have many opportunities to cooperate with David in the future.

After seeing that everyone was a little familiar with the magic weapon he refined, and felt a burst of surprise.

David finally got up slowly and spoke to the crowd.

"If there is no problem, then we are ready to start action tomorrow."

Mann also nodded to express his understanding, but then he scratched his head in embarrassment
"I know the general information, but there is still a little problem."

To be honest, David had prepared enough information for them.

But there's just one problem.

That is, their team hadn't run many missions in Badlands before.

If they start to act tomorrow, they may be a little hasty in collecting and familiarizing themselves with bad land intelligence, which is an extremely fatal situation for experienced mercenaries.

But after hearing the worries of Mann and others, Jack, who was sitting next to David, smiled.

"Don't worry, big brother, David has already contacted you with a special matchmaker."

"Apart from her mouth smelling a bit, I promise she's the perfect Badlands guide."

Mouth smelly?

Although it was a little strange Jack's evaluation of the guide, but in this way, the plan to start tomorrow's action is indeed no problem.

"I see. Let's prepare tonight and leave tomorrow."

Speaking of this, Mann also stood up and gave David a big bear hug.

"David! You should also be careful with the tasks on your side. By the way, say hello to your mother for me!"

"See you tomorrow then, everyone."

"Well! See you tomorrow."

"Mua, bye David~"

Farewell to everyone in Mann's team.

David also walked out of the Afterlife bar with a swaggering Jack, looked at the afterglow of the setting sun, and finally stretched his waist in relief.

After taking a full day's sleep, I also explained the last thing, so the only thing to do now is to adjust the state and wait until tomorrow to officially start the task.

Thinking of this, David also turned his head and patted the excited Jack beside him.

"Jack, you should go and get ready too. We're going to start a big fight tomorrow."

Listening to David's words, Jack felt that his blood was about to boil.

"Okay, then I'll also go to Lao Wei to upgrade and repair the prosthetic body, buddy?"

"Really! If you want me to say, you are so strong without pretending to be a prosthetic body. If you really transform it, you will really become a superman!"

But at this, David smiled and shook his head.

In the process of forging these days, David found that his mental toughness has a miraculous effect on the ability that needs to be improved. As long as he wants and his body allows, he can continue to improve his skills!

For David, he has found a faster and more stable way to improve his strength than transforming prosthetic bodies.

Even without a powerful prosthetic body implanted in the cyberpunk world, he will definitely be able to quickly stand at the pinnacle of this world's force!

However, it is equally important to exercise one's body well before exploding one's liver.

It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day, so let's start today!

Thinking of this, he smiled and waved goodbye to Jack.

"I can't do it. After all, it's more suitable for me to adjust my state than modifying the prosthetic body. For example, running at night is very good. I'll see Jack tomorrow."

"Ah? Exercise? Why don't you just pretend to be bionics when you have time, I don't understand."
