Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

Chapter 310 Commission: Stealing Data Chip

——Two months later.

Next to Jinting Wood Square, in the top-floor luxury apartment that used to belong to Faraday.

Li You sat on the sofa in the living room, leaning sideways, looking at the micro-projector that kept rotating on the coffee table, and two koi, one red and one blue, were swimming around the ball.

There was a call from the door, and Li You knew without looking that it was David who came, and he brought Lucy with him.

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

Lucy followed him in, still looking around the luxury apartment: "Is this... the new home of Li You?"

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

Yes, this top-floor luxury house that originally belonged to Faraday is now Li You's residence.

Although Faraday himself is still alive, his brain-computer chip was pulled out by the black clinic, and now there is no such person at all. And all his savings were also taken away by Li You and Mann, so this apartment should have been reclaimed because Faraday did not pay the rent on time.

However, Li You thought that this apartment was actually quite good. It was spacious enough and close to Jinting Wood Square, so he simply rented it and lived there.

As a mercenary, living in a luxury apartment is not a luxury or a waste. These bits and pieces are all means to improve street reputation.

Imagine that a new mercenary comes to the Laisheng Bar and someone introduces him to famous bosses. The first thing mentioned is the record of each strong man and the number of heads in his hands, and the second is how luxurious the bosses live.

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

So after Li You moved into the luxury apartment, his street reputation obviously jumped up a little bit. Now most mercenaries and those old gang members have basically heard of his name.

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 data."

This luxury apartment also appeared in the game in Wakako's commission "Until Death Do Us Part". Although it is not as good as V's City King Mansion in the Sun Ending, or his apartment in the Peralez mission, it is also very good.

The first floor has a lobby, 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.

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

At this moment, Yuzu is playing in the swimming pool outside the balcony, Edge is practicing in the practice room, and Sasha is busy in the studio.

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

Those guards were all wearing combat uniforms of the same style, with either mouth prostheses or masks on their faces. But the more obvious feature is that the skin color on their bodies and heads is very strange, as if different human skins were sewn together, which looks a bit creepy.

These guards stood straight, looking straight, and exuded a dangerous aura of keeping strangers away.

Naturally, these are all sensory Night Demons that have undergone complete prosthetic transformation.

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

"Are those... the people of the Night Demon?" Lucy asked.

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

Lucy glanced at him and said: "The Night Demons have been notorious in the Bad Land recently, and the mercenaries are also discussing them, but few people know that they have such a relationship with you, Li You."

Li You, who was sitting opposite, just smiled and said: "I didn't hide it deliberately, but those people couldn't get in touch with it."

"Oh, the things are ready."

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

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

David picked up the separation chip without saying a word and started to read it. Lucy looked at it and complained: "Are you planning to change your job to a middleman?"

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

"... Humph, unknowingly, you have become a big shot who can choose the content of the commission yourself." Lucy didn't say much and carefully read the task requirements.

"… sneak into the Dark Matter Nightclub and steal the data chip carried by the designated target?"

David has finished reading the content and is a little surprised: "Is this mission so simple?"

"Not that simple." Li You said, "The intelligence of this mission is limited. We only know that the target is an Arasaka engineer who carries a confidential data chip. That's what you want to take."

Lucy looked at the information of the mission target: "Richard Yang? Arasaka mid-level engineer?"

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

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

Li You shook his head: "Sasha has been checking for a while, but he really can't find any relevant information. The other party's defense is very tight. We can only confirm that there is no trace of Arasaka ICE."

Lucy understood: "It's really mysterious. But if that's the case, then isn't this Richard Young a traitor to Arasaka?"

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

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

"Is it similar to the last time with the cyborg?" Lucy already understood, "Military Technology suffered such a big loss last time, and there are companies that send such commissions to middlemen?"

Li You said: "Military Technology didn't publicize the last incident, and this mission is far less high-level than the Cybernetic King Kong, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

David nodded: "I see, I think it's okay. Lucy, how about you?"

Lucy was a little anxious and wanted to light a cigarette, but under Li You's gaze, she didn't do it, and only said: "...Since it's not against the top leaders of Arasaka, I have no objection."

"Okay, then leave it to you." Li You pointed to several sets of luxurious clothes on the table, "You can pick any of these. The Dark Matter Nightclub is not for ordinary people to enter, you have to look good."

"Oh! It's a high-end costume produced by Jinguji!" David was surprised, "How much does it cost!"

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

During this period of time, David has been accepting the commissions assigned to him by Li You, and he has actually earned a lot of euros. But his current small goal is to make enough money so that Gloria doesn't have to work hard in the future, so it's still not enough at the moment.

Li You did not directly provide financial assistance to David. For David, the goal of money is also one of his motivations.     At this time, David was very excited: "Okay! I will never let you down, Master!"

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

"I understand, Master!"

Then, David and Lucy each chose their clothes, then left the apartment and went back to prepare.

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

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

They are obviously very familiar with each other and have cooperated with each other many times, but the relationship is still just a little bit. Lucy seems to have some affection for David, but still doesn't express his kindness.

Li You is also thinking, is it because of himself or Gloria that Lucy's attitude towards David has changed?

Li You can't help much in this regard, and can only wish David good luck.

He called out in the living room, calling out Yuzu, Edge, and Sasha who came to help process the data.

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

...

In the evening, Li You set out again and headed for Stone Ridge Mountain.

Today his "research team" has a new project, which is to test the installation of Sian Westin on the prosthetic Night Devil.

Charles and others had tried several times before on the sensing Night Devil, but they failed. Whether it was the most basic Sian Westin or the experimental "Apogee" that Li You had obtained before, they all failed because they were difficult to adapt to the Night Devil's nervous system.

However, this time, Charles had gone through repeated research and experiments and believed that the probability of success was very high.

Considering that Charles himself was afraid of death and would never say such a thing without absolute certainty, Li You also chose to believe him and prepared to rush to the Night Devil's lair.

In addition, there was another reason, that is, after the prosthetic Night Devil was installed with Sian Westin, there was a small probability that it would go out of control, and Li You and Edge still needed to be present.

So tonight, it really depends on David and Lucy. However, in order to prevent any risks, Li You also contacted Mann and asked him to help look after the two. Mann sent Rebecca and Pira to stand by and prepare to pick them up.

Of course, David was not aware of this and only told Lucy.

After preparing to this extent, Li You was relieved to leave the city.

At the same time, in an apartment on the 33rd floor of Building K3 of Jintingmu Building.

“…Are you ready?”

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

“Everything is ready. I booked the private room in my own name. You just need to go there in the evening.” A man with Asian features on the other end of the phone answered respectfully.

“Okay, thank you for your hard work.” The blond man with glasses rubbed his forehead, “I hope that person will not make any embarrassing requests… Hey.”

He said, hung up the call 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 came in Mann's sports car, and David drove.

Lucy wore a white one-piece dress with patterns tonight. The tight style perfectly outlined her good figure. David was stunned when he first saw it.

As for David himself, he wore an expensive bright yellow suit, because the uniform of Arasaka Academy was similar to this style, and he was used to wearing it.

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

The elevators of Dark Matter Nightclub are guarded, and ordinary people can't get in at all.

In the game, if V came here during the side quest, if he didn't say that he was invited by Kerry, the guard would not let him in, and would only tell V "the elevator is broken".

If V asked, the guard would just stop talking.

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

So when David and Lucy came to the elevator, they just showed their identity authentication to the guard, and the guard let the elevator open. The two of them entered smoothly and went straight to the lounge on the 35th floor.

It's called a lounge, but in fact, this is the main lobby of the Dark Matter Nightclub.

The Dark Matter Nightclub is not big, and they are relatively low-key and don't 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 lobby, and then saw that although the area is not large, it is decorated magnificently.

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

Logically speaking, the bands that can perform in the Dark Matter Nightclub are not ordinary, 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 place outside. He leaned against it casually on the surface, but actually observed the whole scene. Lucy deliberately slowed down and scanned the guests one by one, trying to find Richard Young.

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

Lucy contacted David on the communication channel: "Something is wrong. I have checked twice and I can't find Richard."

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

"No, I didn't find any record of him booking a private room in the host system... But you reminded me, let's just go and wait. Anyway, this guy will always go to the private room when he comes." Lucy had an idea.

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