Chapter 17 As expected of you, you have such a big heart!
  After confirming that the person in front of him was really Street V, Ke Ling probably estimated the current time.

"By the way, it's October 2074, and this bad year is finally over."

At this time, Pepi finally reacted and told Ke Ling the time.

Ke Ling nodded, but his eyes almost rolled to the sky. His answer was really timely!

However, this time was similar to what he had guessed, slightly later than he expected.

According to Ke Ling's calculations, there should still be some time before 75, at least half a year.

Street V stayed in Atlanta for two years before returning, and then hung out with Jack Wills for half a year before entering the main plot.

The main plot is January 2077. Pushing forward "two and a half years" is the time when Street V sets out to become a trainee in Atlanta.

From this point of view, the two years mentioned by Street V are not accurate to one day, at least now Street V has just set off for Atlanta.

"Why go to Atlanta?"

Ke Ling was a little curious. He remembered that V didn't seem to be doing well in Atlanta, and finally returned to Night City in despair.

"Of course I'm going to look for opportunities and try my luck while I'm young."

V answered simply, with a smile on his face, and seemed to have no fear of working in a strange city.

She is a standard Heywood street girl, and like all street kids, she has a dream of becoming a legend.

The tenet they believe in is that instead of living a useless life, it is better to burn it happily, just like Johnny Silverhand.

Of course, they must first live a life of fame and money like Johnny Silverhand. For this reason, they always want to be able to make a big deal.

These are restless people who are born out of the environment. There is no so-called middle class in this society. They either become famous or remain unknown.

"Atlanta is strictly controlled by the New America. My impression of it is that there is a garbage dump covering an area of ​​more than 40 square kilometers, which is full of toxic waste and biological waste."

Ke Ling described Atlanta in his impression. He only remembered the news in the game that the Atlanta garbage dump was on fire and it burned for two weeks.

This is too normal. The entire Atlanta is only over 350 square kilometers, and one garbage dump occupies one-ninth of the entire city. Let alone two weeks, it may not be burned out even if it is given two months. .

"Ah? Really?"

After hearing Ke Ling's words, V touched her nose in embarrassment. She had never heard of it.

"You don't know anything about Atlanta?"

Now, Ke Ling was surprised. Good guy, I'm about to leave for Atlanta, but I don't know anything about the local area? !

All I can say is that he is indeed the famous V, he has such a big heart!

"You really don't understand anything?"

Pepi was also confused. He thought V could make a fortune by going to Atlanta. Otherwise, why would he go so far?
  If you really just want to try your luck in other cities, there are many good places around Night City, such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, and even Sacramento, the capital of Northern California.

Which of these cities is not better than Atlanta? The key is that it's not that far away. From Night City to Atlanta, it spans the entire United States from east to west.

"Don't look at me like that. You know, we are in Taipingzhou and Atlanta is in the Rust Belt. We have very few ways to understand the situation there." V was a little annoyed when Ke Ling and Pepi looked at her with strange eyes. She opened her mouth to defend herself and said, since the internet blockade is so severe, isn’t it normal for her not to understand the situation in Atlanta?

The Pacific Area and Rust Belt Area mentioned by V are network divisions. The Pacific Area covers the entire west coast of North America and most of the Pacific Basin, while the Rust Belt Area mainly includes the central and eastern regions of the United States.

Each network partition is ruled and supervised by companies and governments. Even under a large area, there are different communities, each with its own ruler.

Between these partitions, there is generally a strict information blockade. People can obtain very little information, and their knowledge of the outside world comes entirely from the news media controlled by the rulers.

The increasing fragmentation of network partitions, which are as severe as they are now, is all the result of the "network communist" Lucky Bartmos.

He was dissatisfied with the company's use of the Internet to control and monitor all mankind, so he used "RABIDS" to blow up the network to pieces.

It is undeniable that his intentions were good, but his actions were extremely irresponsible.

The Internet is like a mirror, reflecting our thoughts and dreams, and our lives.

Corporations stare into this mirror and control everything about us.

Lucky Buttermoss smashed the mirror into pieces, thinking that was enough, thinking that the company would no longer be able to monitor everything about people.

However, even if the mirror is broken, you can still see your own reflection in every fragment of the mirror. One mirror is broken, but thousands more appear.

Now, every company, government, and gang has its own network, which they rule with an iron fist without restraint and cut off from the rest of the world.

"What you said is correct, but after knowing a little bit more about it, do you still plan to go?"

Ke Ling thought it was very reasonable. No wonder with V's abilities, he didn't make much of a name for himself in Atlanta.

As an outsider, his eyesight goes dark, he goes to a completely unfamiliar place, and if he can return to Night City alive without being eaten dry, he is already very good.

"Besides, I was told there are a lot of opportunities in Atlanta, and damn, I have to go find him and ask."

V's expression was a little annoyed. She scratched her hair and cursed.

Although Ke Ling didn't give much information, a city where one-ninth of the area is a garbage dump where various toxic wastes and biological wastes accumulate doesn't sound like a good place.

"Think about it. Maybe once you leave Night City, you will find that no matter how bad this city is, it is the most suitable for you, because this city contains your memories and life."

Ke Ling said, which made V couldn't help but look at him.

"Damn, you guys are really good at talking."

V sighed. She had previously thought that these muscle rods that had been modified at will on her body were all idiots whose brains were blocked by muscles.

"Then why don't you stay in your city?"

Pepi suddenly spoke and began to feel heartbroken. He remembered Ke Ling saying that he had just arrived in Night City not long ago.

V's expression also became curious. Hearing Ke Ling's emotion just now, there must be a story behind it. What made him leave his hometown?
  "I can't go back to my city."

To be honest, Ke Ling was really pricked in the heart, but only for a moment, because he really didn't have many things to worry about, and this was the case with the Lonely Star.
