from night city

……

In the exclusive box of the next life, Rogge was helping Su Xiao get goods through his own channels.

Suddenly received a communication from Su Xiao.

There was an obviously unhappy expression on her face.

But still connected.

Straight to the point.

"Little guy, I called because I regretted that I gave you the money too quickly. Do you want to take it back? Yes, but according to the rules, I can't refund all the money to you. At most, I can only refund 80%."

Not Roger's black heart.

It's the rules of this industry.

Whether it is entrusting a middleman to purchase firearms, prosthetics, medicines, or asking for information.

After both parties have reached an agreement and paid the deposit.

You can regret it, but the deposit will not be refunded.

It's not Rogge who does this, but all the middlemen do it.

That's the rule in this business.

Since Su Xiao paid in one lump sum, Rogge said that 80% would be refunded.

The 20% she left was exactly the amount of the deposit.

"No, I need to add a few more things to that list of items temporarily."

Lidya Su's answer surprised Rogge.

She raised an eyebrow.

"Well, let's talk."

Su Xiao explained the materials needed to make a customized bulletproof combat uniform.

"Okay, just wait. I have everything ready and will deliver it to your door."

She is indeed the queen of middlemen.

It’s this resolute character.

"there's one more thing."

"What is it?"

"Can I pay in installments for these additional materials? I don't have that much money on hand."

Roger: "..."

She did not speak.

Lidya Su didn’t speak either.

For a moment, there were only two people looking at each other on the holographic phone, and there was silence.

"You know that the things you want are not cheap, right?"

"Yeah, I know."

"Then you should also know that your reputation is not big enough yet for me to trust you."

The corners of Rogge's mouth turned up slightly.

There was no businessman's coldness in his tone.

Although it's a bit strange to say this...

However, Su Xiao always felt that it was a bit like the interviewer testing the candidate.

"You don't need to trust me."

"Oh?"

Rogge's tone became more intriguing.

She was even more interested now.

I want to know how Lidya Su plans to convince her.

"For me now, this money is not enough to pay the full amount, but for the middleman queen of Night City, it is just a drop in the bucket. You only need to give me more than a month, and I can fill this hole for you."

"This is not just a transaction, it is also the basis of trust. You can

Trust me, but I think for the sake of the hundreds of thousands I transferred to you before, you can try to trust me. "

Roger nodded.

"Well, your speech is very touching."

"And your answer?"

"Okay, I allow you to repay the remaining balance after two months."

"Thank you."

"No, you don't need to thank me," Rogge laughed. Compared with before, her smile seemed much more sincere. "I almost forgot to tell you that although I don't believe you, I have known the priest for a long time. , and Regina..."

"I've known her since she was still working on corporate scandals. They think very highly of you, don't let them down. And more importantly, don't let me down."

"Work hard, little rookie. When the things you want arrive, I will send someone to deliver them to you."

……

A few days later, an ordinary van drove up to the downstairs of the apartment in the valley area.

The car body is painted with the logo of a decoration company in Night City.

Several renovation workers got out of the van.

Carrying large and small bags, he walked inside.

The leader is Emeric, who has been guarding the door of "the next life" all day long.

Because there were too many things, they divided into two groups and took the elevator upstairs.

Half an hour later, they came down in the elevator, but their hands were empty, without the large and small bags they had brought when they went up.

The group got into the van and left quickly.

After seeing off Emerick and others, Su Xiao called people she knew to inform them that she would be "retreating" in the apartment for a period of time.

Of course, if they have an emergency, they can contact themselves.

But if nothing happens, don't disturb yourself first.

Then the background of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the apartment was switched to metal entities.

And lock access to the elevator.

Only then did we enter the weapons modification room.

Seeing Emerick and the others bringing in the materials they needed, Su Xiao rubbed her cheeks vigorously.

"start work."

……

half a month later.

The door to the weapons modification room opened for the first time.

Su Xiao walked out carrying two customized bulletproof combat uniforms in each hand.

Hang them individually on hangers.

He snapped his fingers, and the voice-activated lights turned on, dispelling the darkness in the room.

But he was not satisfied and switched the color of the lights several times until the smart home device changed the lights to warm colors in the style of a fairy tale world...

Only then did Su Xiao take a few steps back with satisfaction, put her hands on her hips and admired her masterpiece in the past half month.

The customized bulletproof combat uniforms hanging on the hangers, from left to right, are his own white windbreaker and overalls.

Jack's leather jacket and jeans.

Lucy's white off-shoulder coat, black high-cut tights, and white shorts.

Finally, V wore a long red dress.

These four custom-made bulletproof combat uniforms are the result of what he has been working on for the past half month except for sleeping.

It's finally completed now.

The finished product he produced is not a copy of Nantong Zhengshuang's bulletproof vest.

First of all, he did use the same principle as Nantong Zhengshuang's bulletproof vest.

Subcutaneous armor is also used, covering the outside of the clothes.

It’s just that Nantong Zhengshuang uses the third generation subcutaneous armor.

Su Xiao uses the fourth generation subcutaneous armor.

It has better defensive performance, is also lighter, and does not hinder flexibility.

Secondly, is the most important.

These four pieces made by Su Xiao are inside the customized bulletproof combat uniforms.

Also filled with experimental thickening liquid.

This material was not purchased from Rogge, but was inspired by him when he obtained the drawings of a customized bulletproof combat uniform.

There is no other branch in the City of Night.

The purpose of the experimental thickening liquid is to penetrate into clothing.

Under normal conditions, it exists in liquid form.

However, once the clothing is impacted or compressed...

The experimental thickening liquid turns into a hard solid, making clothing stronger and harder to penetrate.
