The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 230 Closing work
Although more than 50 years have passed since the last corporate war, and the situation in various regions around the world has gradually stabilized, the world has not become the peaceful paradise imagined by the cyber people.

Due to the pollution and damage to the environment caused by high-tech warfare, extreme weather has become more frequent and unpredictable.

Unprecedented heavy rains and tsunamis caused by hurricanes and tornadoes have swallowed up a large number of island countries, killing tens of thousands of people, and those who survived were forced to migrate to other countries.

What follows is even more dangerous and deadly desertification and endless sandstorms.

Terrifying disasters have plagued parts of South America and other continents, and clean water has become hard to come by.

While the above-mentioned areas fell into drought, some places suffered from floods.

Night City alone has suffered multiple floods in the past ten years. The Netherlands, far away in Europe, even lost one-third of its territory. If it were not for the most advanced dam construction technology, the entire country would be submerged. .

The cruel and unpredictable environment has brought serious water and soil erosion. A large amount of farmland has been destroyed by acid rain and floods. Famine and starvation are everywhere. Only hydroponics and urban vertical farming can barely maintain supply in some urban areas.

In addition to environmental impacts, there are also countless problems in cyber society itself.

A large number of disabled people with mutilated limbs due to war and endless diseases have accelerated the popularity of cybernetic bodies. However, high-level cyber modifications have also promoted the emergence of cyberpsychosis and intensified the alienation between people.

When negative emotions gradually accumulate, they will inevitably turn into conflict and violence.

Extreme class divisions, sky-high crime rates, and the uneasiness of displacement are repeated every day in various parts of the world.

The flowers in Night City are just a special case, and suffering is the norm in the world.

So when the contradiction reaches the point of irreconcilability, the next war is bound to come. It's just that most people didn't expect that the war would come so unexpectedly.

But on second thought, it makes sense.

They should have fought the unification war seven years ago.

Although military technology scratched its head and couldn't figure out why Arasaka Company was so irrational and dared to risk the world's disapproval and launch the first attack, it still responded quickly.

First, they united several allied companies and a number of small American countries to strongly condemn Arasaka's war actions, claiming that Arasaka Yorinobu was a fanatical war criminal. Then they confiscated Arasaka's various industries in the new United States and froze related funds.

The retaliatory counterattack that the Lezi people expected did not appear, because military technology intended to portray itself as a victim in order to win over more allies.

This move was so effective that several companies announced the termination of cooperation with Arasaka on the night of the attack.

Of course, there was no retaliation on the surface. Secretly, the new American federal troops continued to gather at the border of Northern California. The CIA used a large number of latent agents to carry out assassinations, steal confidential information and other tasks around the world.

Hackers affiliated with the two companies are also competing in cyberspace, launching attacks on databases and stock holdings, causing turmoil in the global economy.

The network supervisor responsible for maintaining network security had no choice but to intervene and became the second victim to be involved in the whirlpool.

As for the first victim, it was none other than the Yes Group.

The headquarters building was inexplicably affected, causing heavy casualties.

Fortunately among the misfortunes, the contractor of the building was Ye Shi himself, who had spent a lot of money and used extremely advanced building materials. In addition, Arasaka's main target was not them, so the losses were much smaller than military technology.

But the most surprising thing is that Ye Shi did not take any measures against Arasaka afterwards, not even a word of condemnation.

The main reasons for this result have a lot to do with Li Ang.

First of all, the destruction of the NCPD caused the Ye family to lose its largest armed force. The company's internal security alone was unable to compete with Arasaka, who had successfully obtained the city's defense rights.

Second, the shrine was blown up, making Blue Eyes think that Li Ang had revealed some information to Arasaka.

Third, Ye Shi focused most of his energy on finding evidence of the existence of a high-dimensional world.

After returning from Dog Town, the more Mr. Blue Eyes analyzed, the more he felt that all talk about gods was nonsense, and that Li Ang was most likely to be a high-dimensional creature.

The descent of high dimensions into low dimensions is just like playing a game.

Therefore, the wandering AI, which has long regarded the cyber world as private property, decided to investigate secretly and began to formulate a plan for the high-dimensional world.

On the couch, how can you allow others to snore and sleep.

It will never allow anyone to interfere with the future home of AIs!

The evil villain transforms into a secret guardian, and an unimagined path begins.

The big financiers swallowed their anger, and the Night City officials naturally didn't even dare to let it go. They even had to work hard to please Arasaka, because if Arasaka gave up or withdrew from Night City, Night City would soon become part of the new United States. .

With the world situation changing rapidly, Dog Town seems so surprising and is gradually being forgotten.

But many Night City residents still remember the giant Buddha of Li Ang, and more and more people appear outside Dog Town, either to escape the war or to seek shelter.

The abnormal increase in the number of people is a big burden for the ghost dogs responsible for defense.

Han Sen had no choice but to come to Li Ang for a solution.

Li Ang only said one sentence: "There is pressure because of the large number of people because the territory is small. It is not enough to expand the territory."

Han Sen suddenly understood.

Half an hour later, all members of the Nether Dogs were dispatched, occupying the entire Taiping Prefecture and driving out all the gangs and corporate forces active here.

At first this behavior caused a lot of dissatisfaction, especially among the Haitian refugees.

But people soon discovered that under the jurisdiction of Dog Town, Taiping Prefecture was really peaceful.

In addition to the expansion of territory, Han Sen used his subjective initiative to select some elites from the group of people who admired Li Ang and recruited Nether Dogs.

After doing this, he continued to negotiate with representatives of various forces and tried his best to sell the hostages at a good price.

Among them, gangs are easier to talk about.

The Sixth Street Gang was willing to spend money to redeem their boss; Valentino helped take the wife route, but also sent gifts afterward; the heads of several branches of the Animal Gang are now Li Ang's crazy fans, and Han Sen took the initiative to recruit them .

The Tiger Claw Gang is rather miserable. All the important leaders have been arrested, and there are not even any representatives to negotiate. The real boss, Arasaka Yorinobu, was too busy fighting with Jun Ke to take care of them. The leaders had no choice but to donate their private property to barely collect the ransom.

However, the matter is not over yet.

Han Sen found out through Hanz's intelligence network that there was a leader in the Tiger Claw Gang named Maiko Maeda, who was Judy's ex-girlfriend, and he was also the person in charge of the Genting Club.

It is no small matter to have something to do with the woman around Li Ang.

So Han Sen found Judy and Evelin and asked them to decide how to deal with it.

The two sisters were kind-hearted and did not embarrass the Tiger Claws too much. They only doubled the ransom, and then Dog Town created an enclave called Yunding in the Night City.

The leaders, who had been drained of all their wealth and taken out several loans, thought they had finally ushered in the dawn of freedom. However, they were told by Han Sen that the Tiger Claw Gang's territory had been almost divided up by other gangs, and there was no point in going back. , it is better to stay in Dog Town and work as a coolie to pay off the debt.

But the worst among the hostages is not the Tiger Claw Gang, but the Luan Dao Society.

Because he had a problem with Panan, he was killed by Han Sen without even a chance to negotiate.

The rest, such as the Vortex Gang and the Voodoo Gang, did not come to the party due to internal reasons within the gangs, and were lucky enough to escape.

After dealing with the major gangs, the group of celebrities followed.

Similar to Lizzy Weisz and the two hosts, those who are not that important can just pay the money and leave.

As for a truly big shot like the deputy mayor, in addition to paying money, he also has to come up with something else. Intelligence, technology, or other valuable things.

Finally, there’s the hard nut to crack: the company representative. As mentioned before, several companies have simply given up on their representatives and are unwilling to talk about it, maintaining the usual arrogance of capital.

Han Sen simply made use of the waste. He first emptied the intelligence and technical data from these people's heads, and then resold it to other interested companies, making a lot of money.

As for those companies that are willing to negotiate, what they need is not just technology, but supporting product production lines. It doesn’t matter if they are lagging behind, they will accept all comers, the more the better.

The process of dealing with these shrewd corporate dogs will not be smooth. It needs to be pulled slowly, and Han Sen will probably have to work hard.

So the question is, what was Li Ang doing when he was working hard?

Answer: Test drive a new car.

Shintaro Takayama's 'farewell' gift to Leon, the cyber world is thunderous, and the supercar named after the legendary King Arthur's Holy Sword
Renfield - The Sword in the Stone.

One of the most expensive vehicles in the world today, the Sword in the Stone is extremely rare.

In contrast, it is made of the latest alloy materials in military technology, has a built-in laser radar array, and uses crystal ball technology to accurately project the external scenery into the completely windowless enclosed car body.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, as long as you are awesome.

Plus, that insane engine makes the Sword in the Stone the most powerful street-legal vehicle on the road, and probably the best-looking too.

Of course, Li Ang didn't just play with cars, he also found Panan and Xili.

In my spare time, I talked with the two ladies about life and the future.

After all, I am about to return to the main world and deal with the matters that need to be concluded.

"I promised you the best car before, but now I have fulfilled my promise, right?"

Panan looked at the Sword in the Stone parked in front of him and said disdainfully: "Forget it, I can't afford to drive such a delicate thing. It's not suitable for me, let alone a bad land."

"But it's okay to drive a few laps to enjoy it."

Li Ang thoughtfully handed her the car key: "Let's just drive it first. As for the best thing, I'll think of a solution later."

Panan was amused by the man's serious look: "Okay, I'll be waiting."

After that, she opened the door and got into the driver's seat, ready to experience what it felt like to drive a 1660-horsepower car.

As the engine roared, the Sword in the Stone flew towards the end of the road like a jet fighter.

Xili, who was standing nearby, looked away and said, "You can tell me if you have anything to say."

Li Ang didn't talk nonsense and said concisely: "I can help you deal with the Wild Hunt."

The Wild Hunt, a group of ghost knights riding skeleton horses, are the villains of the world of "The Witcher 3".

Their relationship with Shirley can be summed up in one sentence.

Because the world they live in is on the verge of destruction, the Wild Hunt needs Ciri's power of time and space to save themselves and their people. In order to avoid the pursuit of the Wild Hunt, Ciri had no choice but to escape into the cyber world.

Li Ang's words made Xili frown and subconsciously crossed her arms.

It was a slightly defensive gesture that showed her distrust.

"You know so much."

Li Ang shrugged: "Don't forget, I am also a wolf school demon hunter."

Shirley twitched her nose, deliberately skipping the topic, and asked instead: "Then what's the price?"

"The ancient blood in your body." Li Ang replied.

"Ha." Xili smiled contemptuously, showing an expression that was indeed the case.

Li Ang knew that she had misunderstood, and immediately explained: "You don't need too much, just a little bit, it won't cause any harm to you."

Shirley asked doubtfully: "Are you sure?"

I thought that the man in front of me wanted to take her blood like the Wild Hunt, but now it seemed that was not the case.

"If it's just a little bit, I can agree, but there's no guarantee it will still work."

"That's enough." Li Ang replied confidently.

He has the Black Light Virus, which is known for its ability to replicate mimicry, and is capable of all things in his life.

At this time, Xili suddenly rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair arms: "Can we set off after taking the blood?"

Li Ang was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I have to go home first, I have something to deal with."

Shirley blinked and put down her arms: "Then I'll go with you."

"Okay." Li Ang replied with a smile.

To-do list-1
About ten minutes later, Panan came back with the Sword in the Stone.

After getting off the car, she leaned directly against the railing on the side of the road and let out a long breath.

It wasn't until the soaring adrenaline returned to normal that he excitedly said to the two of them: "You really get what you pay for, this car is so fun to drive!"

It’s tradition for wanderers to like cars, and Panang is no exception.

Seeing this, Xili smiled: "You guys chat slowly, I'll go back first."

Watching her leave, Panan scratched his forehead in confusion: "Did I say something wrong to make her angry?"

Li Ang said: "No, she and I have finished talking. Now it's your turn."

"Ah!?" Panan became a little nervous: "What are you talking about?"

"The future, our future." Li Ang said as he walked towards the girl.

Panan blushed in fright and kept hiding back.

Seeing that the irritable girl had a tendency to turn around and run away, Li Ang stopped teasing her: "I mean, you and the whole Adecado, do you have any idea of ​​​​changing your development in another place?"

Panan stopped retreating, and his heart that jumped into his throat returned to his stomach. He clutched his chest and cursed: "Who taught you to talk like this? You almost scared me to death."

"I can't make the decision on this matter. You have to ask Thor."

Li Ang rubbed his chin: "Well, it's a bit troublesome. I'm too lazy to go. Let's find a simpler way."

Panan had an inexplicable premonition and said hurriedly: "No, we have something to talk about. I will discuss it with Sol. I don't dare to bother you."

Li Ang instantly showed a kind smile and patted the girl on the shoulder.

"Then it's settled, I'm waiting for your good news!"
