The giant corporations that started in Night City

Chapter 65 Mr. Li Ang... is a good man

Victor's words gave V a new understanding of LA Company. It turns out that as long as it is fair and treats its employees as human beings, a company can gain the respect of so many people!

"Lao Wei, you are right. Exchange of equal value is indeed the rule that each of us pursues, but the reality is not like this."

As a free mercenary in Night City, V certainly knows what layers of exploitation mean.

They, a group of free mercenaries, rush to fight for less than 30% of the commission, while the middlemen can get the big picture without any problems.

But even so, there are still countless mercenaries fighting for their lives. After all, in the City of Night, there are many mercenaries who are desperate for their lives and do not pick jobs.

For example, V.

"What about...Mr. Li Ang?"

V continued to ask aloud. His impression of Li Ang was limited to news media reports, but the media people's evaluation of him was quite polarized.

The WNS news media person standing at Arasaka Company said that Li Ang was an out-and-out fanatical warmonger, and his kinetic and technical weapons were sold overseas.

Countless refugees, women and children died at the gunpoint of LA Company's weapons. The so-called LA Company was just a terrifying empire built on numerous bones.

However, N54 News, which is on the side of military technology, said that Li Ang is an outstanding entrepreneur, a national pillar of New America, and a rebuilder of Night City who implements the legacy of Mr. Richard Knight.

The crime rate has dropped significantly and the thriving Watson District is the best proof of Li Ang's achievements.

Of course, through this period of understanding, V discovered that the crime rate in Night City has actually remained stable. The partial stability of Watson District came at the expense of increased crime rates in other areas.

In other words, the evils of Night City don't disappear, they just move.

After all, the Triad and Maelstrom gangs have gone to urban areas such as Westbrook, Heywood, or Santo Domingo to conduct illegal transactions.

"Mr. Li Ang...he is a good man."

Victor did not blurt out a response to V, but thought carefully for a moment before giving the answer.

"Just a good guy?"

V was a little surprised. Such an evaluation was too common, not to mention that the so-called good people couldn't get along in the City of Night. After all, good people often get into trouble first, and the bad people survive to the end.

Killing people and setting fires with golden belts, building bridges and paving roads without corpses can be regarded as a practical motto in the City of Night.

"V, a good person like Mr. Li Ang is unique in Night City. If you think that just doing good deeds and helping grandma cross the road counts as a good person, you are too stupid."

As an old man from Night City who has been around for a long time, Victor knows that good people in the traditional sense have been shot in the head by evil people and dragged into the trash can like a dead dog.

The general public in this world only fear power but not morality. The rich people who distribute food to beggars on the roadside will most likely not die in the hands of bandits or enemies, but they are more likely to be left without enough to eat. The beggar stabbed him to death.

This kind of ending is very fucked up for good people, but the reality is so real and cruel.

"Mr. Li Ang will not be nice to anyone for no reason. If you want to get benefits from him, you have to pay the corresponding price."

"Everyone's ability corresponds to a corresponding price. From Mr. Li Ang, you can get the most reasonable remuneration, neither more nor less."

"Even if you have nothing, as long as you are willing to work hard for Mr. Li Ang, he will give you what you want, provided that you must be worth the price."

Victor let V take a look at the new prosthetic bodies hanging on the ceiling of his studio. Although these things were taken from the LA company for free, he had to regard the members of the Mann team as his first service recipients.

It is not an easy task to perform physical examinations and implant prosthetics on Mann, a group of mercenaries who often fight and fight, but Victor must do it.

Otherwise, his impoverished neighbors would not be able to afford the latest prosthetic devices and would have to hang on to their unusable electronic waste for the rest of their lives.

Although working for LA Company is a bit tiring, the rewards Victor receives can make his poor neighbors live a better life.

"V, one day you will deeply understand what fairness means to ordinary people. Mr. Li Ang can formulate the rules of 'equivalent exchange' in this collapsed city. This is already a quite remarkable achievement. ”

"We are grateful for his contributions to Watson."

Victor's words deeply touched V. If Leon can really implement the rules of fair and equal exchange in Night City, he can indeed be called a real "good guy"!

This is much better than helping an old lady cross the road, distributing food to beggars on the roadside, and other bad things that good people love to do.

Just when V was thinking about whether he should apply for a job as a security mercenary at LA Company, Victor suddenly said:

"I checked and found out that the thing infected in your brain is not a neurovirus, but a bunch of residual AI data. The risk is very low and not fatal."

After the words fell, V was instantly confused. He didn't understand why Sandra, as a company employee, actually had AI data in her head!

"How could Sandra Dorsett have this thing?" V suddenly felt a little scared. The people in Night City were more evil than he thought.

Victor frowned, thinking about something.

He had just discussed and studied AI with Leon, but he didn't expect to receive an AI operation the next moment. It seems that the fact that Ye's company uses AI to control employees' minds is not groundless.

If this is true, then Ye's company is completely treating its employees as its puppets!

This scene is terrifying to think about.

"Old Wei, can you help me erase this thing? Will the operation be very difficult?" V's tone was very nervous. He didn't want to lie in the coffin so early.

"Silly boy, it's just a small matter. My antivirus program is specially used to treat AI. Don't worry, you will be well soon."

After that, Victor did not forget to help check V's other physical conditions: "Well... your artificial eye is a bit old. I just happen to have a new model 3 of Qilusi here, so I will replace it for you first."

V's physical problem was not serious. Victor took less than 20 minutes to solve all the troubles.

After the operation, V felt refreshed all over. He looked at Victor with ease and joy, smiled and said: "Thank you, old Wei, this is your reward."

V immediately handed the euro to Victor through chip transfer. At first, Victor did not want to accept the money. After all, it is not easy for young people to fight in Night City.

But V has been doing well in Night City recently, and his street reputation is getting higher and higher, which makes V very eager to prove to Victor that he is getting better and better.

This small amount of surgery money is naturally not a problem.
