Build the Traveler Alliance from scratch

Chapter 629 I quit

In the game, the protagonist V has three origins to choose from, one of which is Company V.

Company V graduated from Arasaka Academy and joined Arasaka Company after graduation. His initial department was unknown, but he should be responsible for intelligence warfare and rapid response tasks between various companies and Arasaka Company.

Later, Company V parachuted into the Counterintelligence Department of Arasaka Company and became the assistant to Arthur Jenkins, the top executive of the Counterintelligence Department.

The body Vincent traveled through was Company V at the end of 2075.

At that time he had just been transferred to the Counterintelligence Division and had not yet become Arthur Jenkins' assistant.

As a time traveler, Vincent played "Cyberpunk 2077" in his previous life and also watched the derivative animation "Edgewalker", so he has a very good understanding of the worldview of this world.

He knew that without the support of the system, with his ability, it would be impossible to shake the company's position.

Considering his own survival and life, he thought for a long time and decided to continue climbing up inside Arasaka.

Anyway, with his own strength, it is impossible to stir up the situation like V in the game.

It's better to follow the locals, become a high-level company executive, and enjoy the life of a cyberpunk master.

As for overthrowing the company and changing the world, such a grand undertaking should be left to more capable people!

With such self-hypnotic thoughts, Vincent began to work conscientiously for the Counterintelligence Department.

It wasn't until he successfully sneaked in with Arthur Jenkins and became an assistant to the top officials of the Counterintelligence Department, as in the plot, that the system in his body that had been sleeping for a long time suddenly awakened.

Vincent stared blankly at the system panel in front of him that only he could see.

When he came to his senses, he suppressed his excitement and began to study the sudden golden finger.

Then he discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with this 'system'...

As far as he knows, the characters in the game mainly have five attributes, namely [physicality], [reaction], [intelligence], [calmness] and [technical ability].

But the system he got only had two attributes: [Physical] and [Spiritual].

Moreover, in the [System Prosthetic Mall], in addition to the high-end prosthetics that appear in games and anime, there are also extremely outrageous technological items such as Iron Man Mark series suits and Chitauri technology exoskeleton armor.

Seeing these things, Vincent was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but get excited.

With these things, let alone becoming a legend in Night City, even if it really becomes the cheating ‘V Zhentian’ in the game, it is not completely impossible!

The only problem is that the various tasks issued by the system, as well as the ways to obtain experience and points, must be carried out in Night City.

At that time, he received a task from his boss, asking him to go on a business trip to be in charge of the Jakarta Summit.

This trip will waste at least half a year...

Faced with the two contradictory choices of company mission and system mission, Vincent only pondered for half a second before making a decisive decision.

I quit!

Go to hell with this company, go to hell with Arasaka!

I've already done this, so who will work for you as a 996 worker? !

So, in early 2076, Vincent came to Arasaka Tower arrogantly and turned down the mission in front of Arthur Jenkins. Then... he was fired from Arasaka Company.

The euphemistic name is to export useful talents to society.

Vincent didn't care about this, because this was the result he wanted.

In the game "Cyberpunk 2077", V did not leave the company until 2077.

Vincent's saucy operation caused him to leave the company early in 2076.

All the past efforts were in vain, but Vincent was not disappointed.

Because the broader world and future are slowly opening to him.

After leaving the company, Vincent found Jack Wilson, his good friend for many years, and became a mercenary through his introduction.

The two formed a small team and began to accept tasks in Night City and show off their talents.

However, due to system reasons, Vincent's strength is getting stronger and stronger. He can always find some military-grade legendary prosthetics inexplicably, and no matter how many prosthetics are installed, he will never suffer from mental problems.

This makes good brother Jack very happy and worried.

Even though Vincent repeatedly stressed that there was no problem, Jack still forcefully asked him to carry immunosuppressants with him.

Since then, Vincent has taken on more and more dangerous tasks, and he even began to be hired by the NCPD to deal with cyberpsychosis.

A mission of this level was too dangerous for Jack. After some tangled thinking, Vincent finally decided to leave Jack's side temporarily and become a lone wolf mercenary.

After that, Vincent became more and more famous as a lone wolf.

But no matter how famous he is, he always wears a suit, carries a briefcase, and looks decent.

According to his explanation, this is a habit developed in the company before.

But in fact, suits and briefcases are the default appearance of system equipment.

The former is a special bulletproof suit from the system mall, and the latter has five cubic meters of space equipment.

The reason why Vincent is dressed like this is just because he is not willing to spend system points to change the appearance of these two pieces of equipment!

…

…

In the apartment, Vincent was drinking coffee and reading emails.

The three members of the Whirlpool Gang that he killed before, as well as the unlucky Tiger Claw Gang fraudster just now, were completely ignored by him.

Because in Night City, such things are too common!

If nothing else, yesterday's Dead Man Lotto was full of eighty people.

Among them were at least thirty scavenger corpses, which he casually killed as he passed by.

No way, who made them scavengers?

Scavengers are mostly low-level scum with a cruel nature. They are accustomed to attacking unsuspecting passers-by or gangsters, harvesting their cybernetic bodies and organs and selling them on the black market.

In their eyes, human life is just a bunch of commodities that can be exchanged for money on the black market.

Organ selling, prosthetic body reselling... as long as it is a profitable business or task, they will take it without hesitation, without any honor or purpose at all.

Of course, they don't have any strict organizational planning, and the structure is very loose.

Because of this, they are also the most numerous and most difficult rats to eradicate in Night City.

Fortunately, thanks to Vincent, the number of dead scavengers has increased by 1,700% in the past six months. The bodies dragged and burned outside the city alone can fill an entire garbage dump.

Seeing such efficiency, the King of Hell would give him a thumbs up and say "What a great job!"

"...Well, another bunch of spam text messages and scam emails."

"I have to ask Lucy to come over in a few days to help me upgrade the firewall."

Vincent muttered, flipping through his mail.

At a glance, most of them are classic spam messages such as [##Super Medical Lottery##][##Ding Ding Strong Nano Gel Scam Warning##][I am Johnny Silverhand, transfer money to me].

Suddenly, Vincent frowned and clicked on an email sent by David.

【warn! You have been attacked! 】

At the end, Vincent couldn't help but feel black lines all over his head.

Isn’t this a warning scam message that was very popular two years ago?

He scrolled the page to the top, read the sender's name carefully several times, and then a stream of data flashed through his eyes, and he called someone with a head full of black lines.

"Hey, boss, what's the matter?"

"As big as you!" Vincent said angrily, "Did you send me this scam email?"

"ah?"

"Ah, what, tell me."

"Definitely not, maybe it's the same name!"

Vincent was full of doubts and was about to continue asking when he suddenly received another call.

[Regina Jones requested a call...]

Vincent frowned slightly: "Wait, don't hang up yet, there's news."

After saying that, Vincent put the message from his younger brother David in the background and received the call from Regina Jones instead.

"Hey V, how were you today?"

Vincent thought about it for a moment and nodded: "Not bad. Why, is there cyberpsychosis in Watson District again?"

"We are all old acquaintances. If you have anything to say, just say it. No need to be polite. I still have a call on my side!"

Regina Jones sighed softly: "Okay, let me tell you straight. I have a mysterious client here who asked you to take on a task by name. He was very generous with his offer, but the information was a bit stingy. He said it was I won’t tell you until I see you in person, what do you think?”

Vincent quickly grasped the point: "How generous?"

Regina Jones smiled and said: "The initial decision is that the reward is 20,000 euros, plus the provision of military-grade prosthetics, but I think he doesn't care about the price, and maybe he can raise it a little more."

Vincent's eyes lit up and he said decisively: "Okay, I'll take it. Where can we meet?"

Regina Jones smiled and said: "The old place, the Afterlife Bar."

Vincent said without hesitation: "No problem."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and answered another communication.

"David!"

"Yes, yes, boss, it really wasn't me..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Vincent interrupted him without hesitation, and then said with a smile, "Inform Jack and Mann to gather the team and wait for me. We have work to do!"
