Cyberpunk: 2075

“It’s so cool-

——”

"V, why are you like Oliver?"

Looking at V who was standing at the open car door looking down and starting to yell, Carl complained about this rather childish behavior.

"You know nothing, this is called lofty ambition! Come on, V, do you want to try controlling it? I'll give you the authority."

Oliver was quite happy to see that V had the same reaction as him. As a car lover, he enthusiastically invited V to try driving a floating car. In response to his words, Carl could only say:

"That's not how you describe your lofty ideals."

Carl's little confusion about Chinese idioms was not noticed by the excited people. V listened to Oliver's words, turned around and sat down next to Carl, stared at the column in the middle of the vehicle, and asked Oliver:

"Is the connection here?"

"I'll disconnect it first, and you can try connecting it. I'm telling you, it'll be great."

"Please pay attention to the fuel..."

It looked like seeing a new toy. You play with it and I will play with it. The two of them changed control. Carl thought of something and looked at V: "Speaking of V, is your car broken? , I see you parked on the side of the road."

"There's something wrong with the engine. It's an old problem. After all, I assembled the car..."

Thinking of his own car, V's excitement at being able to control the floating car eased a bit: "But now, I don't know how to deal with it."

V was talking about the fact that Carl and the others drove a floating car to pick him up. Originally, V thought that Carl and the others drove an ordinary car to pick him up. In this way, he could still drive his car to Night City. Maybe then It can still be used, but in the current situation, with this fast floating car, V can't let Carl and the others wait for him to repair the car and accompany him on the leisurely journey to Night City.

"Little things."

Jack had an idea for this: "You found the parts to assemble this car yourself. You must know how to dismantle it. Although it is not worth much, it is still a car that you assembled yourself. There is a sense of commemoration in it. Wait. We’ll go down and dismantle your car and bring up the parts. We’ll discard the scrapped ones and reuse the ones that can be used. We’ll go back to Night City and buy some and assemble them, and that’s it.”

"I think this idea works. When V, you can have your own car to drive in Night City."

Oliver agreed with Jack's idea: "When the time comes, I will introduce you to a parts store. I know the owner there and I can give you a discount."

“Have you dismantled the car, installed it here, and moved it back...:

V looked at the luxurious decorations in the floating car, and then thought about his own car, feeling an indescribable feeling.

Do you use luxury cars to transport garbage...

"Will this make the car dirty or something..."

When V came up, he already knew that Carl had borrowed the car, so he was a little worried about whether Carl would lose money if the interior was dirty.

"Don't worry."

Karl waved his hand indifferently. When Kenichi Shiro gave the car to him that day, he had explained that as long as he did not drive it to the roof of the military technology building and crash, the military technology people could read the information about his whereabouts in the car. The content of the data is up to Carl. Anyway, the car like this has an entire floor and a dedicated parking area.

What Carl cared more about than the damage to the vehicle was actually time.

When handing over the car, Kenichi Shiro emphasized again that it would take ten days to return it.

The first time it may be just a casual comment, but if you say it twice, there is something else in it.

Mr. Kenichi Shiro is obviously not a person who cares about cars, so the meaning of these ten days is...:

There may be places that need you within ten days in the city. Remember to pick them up within ten days.

What will happen in ten days?

In the slowly descending floating car, Karl thought.

At this time, in Night City, the shelter from the limelight was over and the Mann team, which had resumed taking jobs, received a communication from an intermediary that they had not contacted for a long time.

"Faraday?"

Listening to the calm middle-aged man's voice on the other side of the communication, Mann frowned instinctively, but maintained his normal attitude and asked: "What do you want from me?"

"I have a job here, and I'm going to give it to you."

There is life... Faraday's life.

In the middlemen circle of Night City, Faraday's reputation is not very good now. Although his original reputation is not much better in the circle, a mercenary team that is qualified to entrust a mercenary team as famous as Carl's team is greedy for money. As a result, Carl's team was unwilling to take the job, and the two sides no longer cooperated with the middleman. In this case, the mercenaries who received the job sent by Faraday would always feel upset.

How dare you take a job from a middleman who won't even cooperate with Carl's team and will no longer take jobs?

Probably because of this idea, the connection between Mann and Faraday gradually weakened a lot. Unexpectedly, Faraday came to find him just as he started to take over the work again.

Although Mann was a little worried about Faraday's current job, there were no major problems in the relationship between the two parties. Looking at the past relationship, Mann hesitated for a while before speaking: "What kind of job is it?" ?”

Mann held an idea that if his life was not right, then he would just refuse.

Faraday on the other end of the communication didn't seem to hear Mann's hesitation. He said slowly and calmly: "Remember the job you got from Karl?"

‘Prosthetic Vajra. ’

Mann almost instantly realized what Faraday was talking about.

Because Arasaka personnel were involved in the incident, it was no longer a secret, and what Faraday meant by saying this now was...

Have the military technology personnel behind Faraday obtained more detailed information about Arasaka's "Cyborg"?

This job is not easy to do...

Mann knew that there was no easy job involving the struggle between two companies. At the beginning, there was no intelligence, and almost everything went smoothly, but in the end, an accident occurred, attracting Arasaka's special operations personnel. If it weren't for Carl and the others, it would be difficult for him to get out.

Now it's the same job again, and unlike before, Arasaka has all their intelligence. In this case, they are doing this kind of mission again.

Mann wanted to refuse in his heart, but the words Faraday said next made his refusal stay in his throat.

"You want to be a legend in Night City, right Mann? So, how far are you from Carl now?

》

How far are you from Carl...

Faraday continued:

"Even Carl is not a legend in Night City now. Are you willing to be an ordinary mercenary for the rest of your life? If this deal is successful, your reputation will resound throughout Night City."

Legend...Listening to this extremely tempting word that almost every mercenary is pursuing like a moth to a flame, Mann swallowed his saliva and was about to say something, but Faraday only left a sentence and then hung up the phone.

"Think about it carefully, Mann, think about why you want to be a mercenary, think about the achievements of Carl who debuted later than you, whether they are famous or unknown, you can choose for yourself, I will wait for your answer in the next few days. "

The communication ended.

Mann remained silent as he stared at the black communication interface.

Faraday's words were a trap.

He was deliberately trying to lure him into the trap.

Mann knew it.

But which famous mercenary could say that he didn't want to be Morgan's black hand?
