Chapter 310 Commission: Stealing data chips

——Two months later.

Next to the Golden Courtyard Wooden Plaza, in the penthouse apartment that used to belong to Faraday.

Li You sat on the sofa in the living room, leaning sideways and looking at the mini projector that was constantly rotating on the coffee table. Two koi fish, one red and one blue, were swimming around the ball.

There was a call at the door, and Li You knew without looking that it was David who was coming, and he was bringing Lucy with him.

"Hey, Master!" David came in and greeted happily, "We are here!"

Lucy followed him in, still looking around at the luxurious apartment: "Is this...that Li You's new home?"

Li You waved from a distance in the living room: "Over here!"

Yes, this penthouse that originally belonged to Faraday is now Li You's residence.

Although Faraday himself is still alive, his brain-machine chip was removed by the black clinic, and now this person is completely missing. All his savings were also taken away by Li You and Mann, so the apartment should have been repossessed because Faraday failed to pay the rent on time.

"Oh, things are ready."

Lucy looked at them with some vigilance, not only because of the aura on their bodies, but also because of the inconspicuous little mark on those people's clothes - a torn bloody mouth.

"Those are...'Night Stalkers'?" Lucy asked.

At this moment, Yuzi was playing in the swimming pool outside the balcony, Aiji was practicing in the practice room, and Sasha was busy in the studio.

A "Night Demon" warrior slowly walked down from the second floor. He was carrying several sets of packaged luxury clothes in one hand and two chip containers in the other. Night Demon put the things on the coffee table, then turned back to stand guard in the corridor on the second floor.

Imagine that a new mercenary comes to the Afterlife Bar, and someone introduces him to a famous boss. The first thing mentioned is the achievements of the strong men and the heads in their hands, and the second is how luxurious the life of the bosses is.

David and Lucy saw the grapefruit on the balcony, but they also saw the guards standing at several corners of the balcony.

These guards all stood upright, looking intently, and exuded a dangerous aura that kept strangers away from them.

David and Lucy came to the living room and sat down opposite Li You. Li You said to them: "You are free to do whatever you want. Wait a moment, Sasha is still processing the data."

The first floor has a foyer, a living room, a bar, a kitchen, and a large balcony with a small swimming pool. As for the second floor, there are bedrooms, studios, and practice rooms.

This luxury apartment also appears in the game, Wakako's commission "Until Death Do Us Part." Although it's not as good as V's City King mansion in the Sun Ending, or his family's apartment in the Peralez mission, it's still pretty good.

Of course, these are all sentient night demons that have undergone complete prosthetic transformation.

The apartment has ample space and can meet Li You's needs in terms of functionality.

So after Li You moved into a luxury apartment, his street reputation obviously improved a bit. Now most mercenaries and old people who are in gangs have basically heard of his name.

The guards all wore uniform combat uniforms, with either prosthetic mouths or mouth-covering masks on their faces. But the more obvious feature is that the skin color on their bodies and heads is very weird, as if they are different human skins sewn together, which looks a bit oozing.

David explained on the side: "Don't worry, those are Master's people, they are very reliable."

In Night City, this is definitely a manifestation of hard power.

However, Li You felt that this apartment was actually quite good, with enough space and close to Jintingmu Plaza, so he simply rented it and lived in it.

Lucy glanced at him and then said: "The 'Night Demons' have become notorious in the bad land recently, and the mercenaries are also discussing them, but not many people know that they actually have such a relationship with you, Li You. "

Li You, who was sitting opposite, just smiled and said, "I didn't hide it deliberately, it's just that those people can't reach it."

As a mercenary, living in a luxury apartment is not a luxury or a waste. Every bit of this is a means to enhance your street prestige.

Li You pointed to the things on the table: "These are the things that are needed for this mission. They are all in the data chip. Take a look."

David picked up the separation chip and read it without saying a word, while Lucy looked at it and complained: "Are you planning to change your job to an intermediary?"

Li You smiled and shook his head: "Of course not. I also accept commissions now, but only those with high rewards and interesting ones."

"...Huh, before I know it, you have become a big shot who can choose the content of your commission." Lucy didn't say much and read the task requirements carefully.

"...Sneak into the Dark Matter nightclub and steal the data chip carried by the designated target?"

David had already read the content and was a little surprised: "Is this mission so simple?"

"It's not that simple." Li Youyou said, "The information on this mission is limited. We only know that the target is an Arasaka engineer, and he carries a confidential data chip. That is what you want to take."

Lucy looked at the information about the mission target: "Richard Yang? Arasaka Intermediate Engineer?"

Li You nodded: "Mr. Yang made an appointment to meet with someone at the Dark Matter Nightclub. It is said that it is related to this chip. However, the identity of the person meeting is very tightly locked, and neither the middleman nor us can find the information, so This is a risk."

Lucy thought thoughtfully: "Wakako's hacker couldn't find it, and Sasha didn't find it either?"

Li You shook his head: "Sasha was checking it not long ago, but couldn't find any relevant information. The other party's defense is very tight. We can only confirm that there are no traces of Arasaka Company's ICE."

Lucy understood: "It's really mysterious. But if you put it this way, isn't this Richard Young the traitor of Arasaka?"

"It looks like this." David was also thinking, "Then he shouldn't dare to make a big deal, which is good for us."

"In short, the best way is for you to sneak into the nightclub in advance, find this Richard Yang, steal the chip, and then run away." Li You concluded, "It is risky, but the reward is very high. It is said that the data in the chip It’s information for an important research project in Arasaka, so the remuneration offered by the client is quite considerable.”

"Is it similar to last time's Prosthetic King Kong?" Lucy already understood. "Military technology suffered such a big loss last time, but there is still a company that sends such a commission to a middleman?"

Li You said: "Military Technology did not publicize the last incident, and this mission is far less high-level than the prosthetic King Kong, so the problem should not be big."

David then nodded: "Understood, I think it's okay. Lucy, what about you?"

Lucy was a little inexplicably anxious and wanted to light a cigarette, but under Li You's gaze, she still didn't do so and just said: "...Since it's not about attacking Arasaka's senior management, I don't have any objection."

"Okay, let's leave it to you guys." Li You pointed at several sets of luxurious clothes on the table, "You can choose these as you like. Dark Matter Nightclub is not something that ordinary people can enter. You have to look good."

"Oh! It's high-end clothing produced by Jinguji Temple!" David was surprised. "How much does it cost?"

Li You said: "If this commission is completed, you will also receive a large reward."

During this period of time, David has also been receiving the commissions assigned to him by Li You, and has actually earned a lot of euros. However, his current small goal is to earn enough money so that Gloria will not have to work hard in the future, so it is still not enough.

Li You did not directly provide financial assistance to David. For David, financial goals were also one of his motivations. At this time, David was very excited: "Okay! I will definitely not let you down, Master!"

"Then I'll leave it to you." Li You smiled and added, "It's tonight, it's urgent, and I have other things to do, so I can't support you, so be careful."

"I understand, Master!"

David and Lucy then each picked out their outfits, then left the apartment and went back to get ready.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Li You shook his head slightly.

Two months have passed, and somehow David still hasn't made much progress with Lucy.

The two of them are obviously very familiar with each other and have cooperated with each other many times, but their relationship is still just a point of contact. Lucy seemed to have some affection for David, but still showed little sign of his kindness.

Li You was also thinking, could it be because of himself or Gloria that Lucy's attitude towards David changed?
Li You can't help much in this regard, so he can only wish David good luck.

He shouted in the living room, calling out Yuzi, Aiji, and Sasha who came over to help process the information.

"It's almost time, let's get ready for dinner!"

……

In the evening, Li You set off again, heading to Shiji Mountain.

Today his "research team" has a new project, which is to test the installation of Si'an Westan on the prosthetic Night Stalker.

Charles and others have tried to sense the Night Demon several times before, but failed. Whether they used the most basic Sianwei Stan or the experimental "Apogee" that Li You had obtained before, it was because it was difficult to communicate with the Night Demon. The nervous system fails to adapt.

But this time, Charles went through repeated research and experiments and believed that the probability of success was high.

Considering that Charles himself was greedy for life and fearful of death, he would never say such a thing without full confidence, so Li You also chose to believe him and prepared to rush to the Night Demon's lair.

In addition, there is another reason, that is, after the prosthetic Night Demon installs Si'an Westan, there is a small probability that it will lose control, and Li You and Ai Ji are still required to be present.

So tonight, it's really just up to David and Lucy. However, just in case of any risk, Li You also contacted Mann and asked him to help look after the two of them. Mann sent Rebecca and Pila on standby to prepare for the response.

Of course, David didn't know this and only told Lucy.

After being prepared to this extent, Li You can leave the city with confidence.

……

At the same time, in an apartment on the 3rd floor of Building K of Jintingmu Building.

"...Are you all ready?"

A middle-aged white man wearing a neat suit, with blond hair and a meticulously combed beard adjusted his glasses and asked on his mobile phone.

"Everything is ready. I booked the private room in my own name. You just need to go there at night." On the other end of the phone, a man with Asian features answered respectfully.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." The blond man with glasses rubbed his forehead, "I hope that guy won't make any too embarrassing requests... ugh."

He said, hung up the communication and stood up.

Looking at an open chip container on the table, the man sighed heavily.

……

At ten o'clock that evening, David and Lucy arrived downstairs at the Dark Matter Nightclub.

They arrived in Mann's sports car, with David driving.

Lucy was wearing a white, patterned one-piece dress tonight. The tight fit perfectly outlined her figure. David was stunned when he first saw it.

As for David himself, he was wearing a bright yellow expensive suit. Because the uniforms of Arasaka Academy were originally similar to this style, he was used to it.

The two parked the sports car in the underground parking lot and found the internal elevator.

The elevators in Dark Matter Nightclub are guarded, and ordinary people cannot enter at all.

In the game, when V comes to the side mission, if he doesn’t say that Kerry invited him, the doorman will not let him go and will only tell V that “the elevator is broken.”

If V pressed further, the guard would just stop talking.

But this time since they need to enter the nightclub to complete the commission, Wagezi will naturally help Li You and the others get access control.

So when David and Lucy came to the elevator, they just showed the identity verification to the doorman, and the doorman gave way to the elevator. The two entered smoothly and went straight to the lounge on the 35th floor.

It is said to be a lounge, but in fact this is the main hall of Dark Matter Nightclub.

Dark Matter Nightclub is not big, and they are relatively low-key and do not advertise. Unless someone recommends it, only high-end people will hear about it and be invited to come here.

David and Lucy entered the nightclub hall, and then saw that although the place was small, it was decorated with splendor.

In the center of the hall is a gorgeous stage, and a band is performing on it at the moment.

Logically speaking, the bands that can perform at Dark Matter Nightclub are all of extraordinary quality, but David and Lucy don't pay much attention to these, so they don't know them.

David walked through the hall and found a relatively quiet spot outside. He leaned on it casually, but in fact he was observing the whole place. Lucy deliberately took a step slowly and scanned the guests one by one, trying to find the Richard Young.

However, after scanning a few times, she didn't find the target.

Lucy contacted David on the communication channel: "Something's wrong. I've checked twice and couldn't find Richard."

"Has he not come yet?" David asked curiously, "Or are we late and he has already gone to the private room upstairs?"

"No, I didn't find any record of his reserved private room in the host system... But you reminded me, let's just go and wait. No matter what, as long as this guy comes, he will always go to the private room." Lucy Got an idea.

David thought about it, and although he felt it was risky, it was better than missing the target, so he agreed: "Okay, let's go."
