My cyberpsychosis is a task prompt

Chapter 86 086: Gangs and Companies
Mr. Vito chatted with John for a long time and helped him understand gang management and the situation in Eden City.

These are topics that have never been spoken before.

Perhaps because of the presence of Eurolos, Mr. Vito thought that the boundaries of their topics could be wider.

For a person of his level.

The information comes proactively like push advertisements, and it is all content that you need to know and pay close attention to.

For low-level gang members and ordinary mercenaries, this information is extremely difficult to obtain.

Eden City has its own rules.

Street stars only need to keep their implants updated and check every payment from their employer.

Until they become famous.

For example, John began to obtain information through various channels, and there would be people who intentionally or unintentionally helped him spread some common sense, just like Mr. Vito is doing now.

This is a piece of cake for him.

It is also the kindness he releases.

Mr. Vito said that the city of Eden is full of capital and crime, and only if it is linked to the interests of this city can it have the soil for development.

To put it simply - gangs seem to be free, but if they want to feed so many people, they cannot do without corporate support.

How to manage and operate various businesses, and how to connect with larger resources to achieve sustainable internal development...

This all needs to be considered.

John couldn't help but complain.

"I've joined a fucking gang and lived on the streets, why do I still feel like a corporate dog?"

"There's a difference, but not much."

Mr. Vito cuts away and the cigar is relit.

"Did you see the people from Jingkrypton Heavy Industries just now?"

The rise of the Black Gold Gang happened to be the time when Eden City was divided into industrial zones after the war. Jingkrypton Heavy Industry was a beneficiary of the plan and was also the company with the deepest roots in the West District.

Before and after the independence of Eden City, Jingkr and the Black Gold Gang cooperated deeply, providing each other with resources and clearing out competitors overtly and covertly.

As the gang grows...

Jingkrypton gradually lost control of the streets.

But it is still like a shareholder, influencing the top management of the Black Gold Gang, and has a say in personnel replacement and management methods.

The Xiaoding Gang is similar.

The Japanese relied on the Uki Industry.

Unlike the Black Gold Gang, they are still deeply tied up.

It can even be said that the Xiaoding Gang is a department under Faqi Industry, which is responsible for managing grassroots industries, recruiting and training backbones, handling illegal goods, and completing dirty work.

Mr. Vito took the glass.

The gold ring on his knuckles lightly collided with the wall of the cup, and the expensive collectible wine washed in the palm of his hand.

"John, I'm glad you came today. It feels like kindness is being reciprocated. That alone will take you further than other arrogant street kids."

Mr. Vito placed the lit cigar on a metal stand.

He blew out the smoke and picked up the glass.

"I was supposed to mix it up and drink it. I don't have time to mess with it today, so I'll just make do with it."

"Okay, let me taste what money tastes like."

John's kidneys have been replaced with advanced implants, which can automatically adjust the hormone and reabsorption ratio. He is not afraid of this drink, but the aftertaste pours out and hits his brain.

Mr. Vito continued.

"The trouble you are causing is getting bigger and bigger, so be careful when doing things."

"I completely understand. Is there anything I can do to help the gang? You can also just pay the compensation directly."

"Haha."

Mr. Vito burst into laughter.

"Listen, kid, when I say these words, I'm not asking for reward for the hard work I've done before..."

He sat upright, making the atmosphere serious.

"You need to take a long-term view and know who the hell you are dealing with... John, as you climb higher, your methods become more and more powerful. You can affect the fate of others with every move you make. You must consider it carefully every time you make a choice. own class.”

"class?"

"Which corner of this city is willing to accept you, allow you to grow, cultivate your own circle, and establish a network of relationships, it means that your soul lives there."

Mr. Vito tipped the cup upside down on the sink.

"Do you feel that your life is terrible and you are constantly in trouble? Hahaha, this just shows that you are young and powerful. The whole world is surrounding you, and you can join in every excitement..."

He folded his hands on his abdomen, lay back on the expensive leather sofa, closed his eyes and meditated.

"When you are like me and can only lie down and wait for news, and the storm rushes by but you can only be a bystander, always slow, and isolated from hot events...it means you are old, and this city is... Makes you part of the metabolism.”

The last hour before dawn.

John left Borago Club.

【Eden City - Denny Street Apartment】

John had his hands in his leather jacket and a gun bag at his feet. As soon as he leaned against the car wall, the elevator door was pushed open.

The purple-haired club girl walked in wearing sequined heels.

"John!?"

She was a little surprised and didn't recognize him at first. She smiled tiredly at him, then lit a cigarette, folded her arms and blew out white mist.

"I heard that the Internet Supervisor exposed you. The girl from the West District is planning to find a wall and paint graffiti on it as a commemoration."

"I just beat a boxer to death. As for being remembered? I haven't even been to the club."

"Haha, remember to come when you have time."

She smiled and reached into her underwear, took out a soft banknote with an electronic chip and stuffed it into the collar of John's jacket.

The elevator door opens in the group rental area on the third floor.

"You, a desperado, must go to Wednesday's show so that you don't die with regrets."

She winked pretending to be frivolous, turned and left the car.

John took the thing out and scanned it.

[Borrago Club-Steel Reiner (front-court ticket)]

He returned to his apartment.

The corridor was messy, full of scratches and footprints.

The metal sliding door has been completely dismantled and taken away, and emergency treatment has been done with industrial materials. Maintenance has not been officially started yet.

The room was empty.

All the damaged furniture and daily necessities were evacuated, leaving only the waste from dismantling the equipment and traces of battles everywhere.

John recalled the process of contact with the network monitor.

Before leaving, the state police officer said that he didn't know what to call John, and he also hinted that the information in his tie clip showed that the network supervisor had also seen the employee information of Tiebang Logistics.

The network supervisor was definitely suspicious of John, but there was no conclusive evidence, and he was being protected by Eden, so it was not convenient to use force to arrest him.

Speaking of evidence…

Why didn't the network monitor detect black light in the room?
John stood in front of the room's equipment box.

The hardware of the network system is pre-installed during the construction of the house, and only the software part needs to be reinstalled.

He turned on the power and started the Atlanta virtual network.

[Device Management Center: STOF [System Offline]]

John frowned.

No wonder the network supervisor didn't find any evidence, and the system in the room, which had been brushed with black light, was completely reset.

He took out the data cable and plugged it directly into the device port.

After the black light flashed, he was ready to move, but due to limited functions, he failed to break through the firewall and almost broke his head.

John looked around and found no surveillance equipment.

A guess popped up in his mind:
Someone removed the black light from the apartment room before the network surveillance search, and successfully erased key evidence for John in front of agents and state police.

Who can take away the black light?

What is the purpose?
There is also an electronic seal for network surveillance posted in the workplace.

John stepped in on the gravel and saw that the fully automatic workbench that had cost a lot of money to assemble had been brutally dismantled, and the perforated boards for hanging weapons had also been smashed to pieces. [Mission target update]

John was startled by the text that suddenly flashed out.

[Scan the remains of the workshop. (unacommpolished)】

He quickly activated the scanning filter, moved around in the narrow space, and finally saw a yellow mark in the corner.

John squatted down.

He lifted up the collapsed cover, and a red light suddenly appeared, flickering suddenly in the darkness.

A glass tube that obviously does not belong to the workshop is placed on the ground. There is a red light bulb inside that stays on, like an eye buried in the ruins.

boom--

The glass tube suddenly exploded. The explosion was very small, like a light bulb that went out due to a short circuit.

[Collection: Vacuum tube (scrap)]

John picked up the wreckage and observed:

The glass cover was broken, the inner wall was blackened, and a chip wrapped in heat-insulating paper could be seen.

Someone left a message.

John was not a fool, so he couldn't insert it into his neck stupidly.

He learned a trick at Haven and Tinfoil.

He turned on the power in the room, removed the smart coffee machine panel, switched to the system background to become a portable reader, and inserted the chip.

[Data is being read...]

The apartment room was extremely dark.

The wall leading to the balcony from the living room was blown open, and gray-blue light shone into the bustling city.

John stood in the shadows and waited quietly.

Text popped up on the LCD screen.

[Pasifika, is that you? 】

John was sure now.

While the state police were chasing him, a group of guys connected to the serum had sneaked into the apartment.

Ding--

The sound of the elevator opening and closing came from the corridor.

Gilead appeared in the doorway.

He is wearing a familiar OVERSIZE fluorescent trendy suit. His chest muscles are stronger than before, and his two arms have added breathing skin, which combines beautiful appearance and explosive heat dissipation.

"It's good to see you, brother."

"You too."

John greeted him with gang signs.

"Who entered this room when the network surveillance system was messing with me? Where were my guns and personal belongings... Surveillance, yes, I need to look at the video from that time..."

"Hey, brother, calm down. Are you high or something? You're still more anxious than those prostitutes."

Gilead described what happened that day:
Less than ten minutes after John escaped, all the surveillance videos in the Denny Street apartment were burned out, making it look like smoke was rising in the surveillance room.

"As for your equipment... it's a bit complicated. Something happened within the Black Gold Gang in the past two days."

Gilead looked troubled.

As a talker in the West District, Mr. Vito is not a single-handed presence in the Black Gold Gang.

There are several bosses with the same seat as him, who are in charge of the gang's business in different directions, and adopt a rotation system of tenure. It just so happens that during this time, Vito Russell is in charge of the street business.

"Those guys at Jingkrypton Heavy Industries are a bit like gang bosses. They recently changed their management. The new boss doesn't like Mr. Vito and wants to replace him with someone new."

"Bone?"

"Gu Zhu was the last speaker. He used to sit in Mr. Vito's position. He used corporate methods to manage everyone. The time clock and attendance, zoning responsibility system, protection fee commission and drug distribution you see now... were all retained during his tenure. Come down."

Gilead crossed his arms.

John immediately thought of the Yiju Rental Company and the black guy who had to punch in wherever he went.

"Sounds like a genius."

"I don't think so. At that time, we had to fight to the death with the Xiao Town Gang every day. The casualty rate and shop rent were extremely high, and the West District was so depressed that we wanted to die."

"How did Mr. Vito take over?"

"I don't know. The Xiaoding Gang negotiated with us, and then Jingkrypton Heavy Industry and Faqi Industry started to build factories together. Not long after, Mr. Vito began to manage the streets, and Gudian was responsible for the contraband business."

Gilead paced in the living room, kicking down the rubble directly along the high-rise window sill.

"Now that Bones is back, gang members and shop tenants are feeling uneasy... To be honest, no one likes him except the boss and Jingkrypton Heavy Industry."

He pointed to John's room.

"The scumbag boys came here to clean up. They knew Mr. Vito wanted you, so they came here deliberately to provoke you."

"Where is my stuff?"

John's eyes became sharp.

He has been running for his life and staying up late recently, and his mental outlook looks like a dangerous ripper.

"Yes."

Gileade thought for a moment.

"Ok."

John is still not sure about the relationship between bone mass and serum, but he will definitely find an opportunity to visit each other.

Before that, the state needs to be trimmed.

John handed the wet biochemical plastic bag to Gilead and asked him to send it to the address specified by Orosi.

He took out a gold-encrusted watch as a gift.

"Hey~"

Gilead whistled, his muscles becoming shiny.

He weighed it carefully in his palm and noticed the LOGO and diamonds on it.

"Fake, MAN~this thing is not a fake!"

"Of course, the West End middleman's collection requires you to wear it when you act like a big dick. Don't show it off at ordinary times, otherwise you will easily get slapped."

"Okay, okay... Phew~ It's so exciting!"

Gilead played with it seriously for a moment, his expression gradually changed from joy to calmness, and he gritted his teeth and asked John.

"Can I make the decision to give it away?"

"Which girl is worth such a big investment?"

"No, damn it, I'm using him to get people."

Gilead explained:
There was a new boy in the Black Gold Gang who was dishonest and secretly hid part of it when delivering goods.

What's the role of Bones?
It didn't take long for the idiot to be discovered.

Most of the hidden goods have been recovered, but one package of the most expensive concentrated raw materials is still missing.

"The goods were abandoned at the Denny Street Apartments."

"Where to hide?"

John asked.

Gilead spat at the window sill.

"I don't know, that Shark Coin has been beaten to death, but Bones is using this to attack Mr. Vito. Coupled with the Internet Supervisor incident, he wants to ask for the management rights of the Denny Street Apartment."

There is a small leader under Gileade.

He is the kind of silly boy with a sense of loyalty who takes the initiative to take on responsibilities and is willing to go grab goods from the Xiaoding Gang's sphere of influence.

"On the surface, it's called to make up for the gang's losses, but in fact, it's just to die and give an explanation to the superiors."

"You want to trade the gold watch with the bones to get your brother back?"

"That's what it means."

Gilead shrugged.
