Cyberpunk: 2075

"Hey, Karl, I heard that you have started taking jobs again recently?"

"To be precise, it was seven o'clock this morning, that is, two minutes ago."

Listening to the words from the old captain on the other end of the phone, Carl lay on a purchased sofa chair on the flat floor and said lazily: "Didn't I send you all a notice of reopening? You can also use hearing and reading the news in the message column.

"Didn't I come to you immediately after seeing it?"

"Then you still said you heard about it?"

"Do you know what language means to show that you have intelligence capabilities? That is the basis of the industry."

Although he doesn’t know whether the industry the old captain refers to basically refers to his car-selling business or the middleman business, there is only one thing Carl understands: “So, you heard that we have taken on jobs again, and we plan to Want to work with me?"

"How can it be so easy?"

The old captain's answer was a bit beyond Karl's expectation: "It's only been two minutes. How can I get a job suitable for you so quickly? I'm not the middleman in charge of the entire Santo Domingo area. Besides, your team has also added There is a new member, right? I heard you say his name is V. You know Carl, there are more people. On certain tasks,

Just need to think about it more. "

Hearing the old captain say V, Carl raised his brows, looked slightly slanted, and looked at V who was in the kitchen, saying he wanted to make them Badlands special breakfast, and asked:

"Why, are you dissatisfied with our new member and afraid that he will ruin things? If you are worried about strength, I can vouch for it. It is definitely not a problem to easily defeat a dozen gang members. I remember that you don't have many people under your command now. A mercenary of this caliber."

"No, no, no, how could I be dissatisfied with the skills of your team members? Who doesn't know now that the people who can be recognized by Carl and your team members are all top people in the industry. Although V seems to be a wanderer, I am not here. We’ve heard of his name in the city, but it won’t be long before he becomes famous throughout Night City. I’m just thinking about the reward, do you understand the reward?”

The old captain said: "There are not many mercenary teams in your team in the entire Night City that can compete with you. I have to give you a lot of money worthy of your status. If you have one more person, you have to think more." A share of money, otherwise I will lose my share and ruin my reputation as a middleman. When the time comes, the Taoist will say that I am the next Faraday, then my nascent career will be over. "

Listening to the old captain's casual words, Karl smiled and talked to him. He really had fun: "Weren't you also a company dog ​​before? Why do you not look down on Faraday, who works hard for the company now?"

"Who doesn't have a young idiot? Forget it, don't talk too much. The purpose of my call today is to beg you to leave me a share of the mission, so that you don't have to deal with the NCPD patrol officers again. Like members,

After going around and around, it wasn't my turn to catch up yet. "

"Okay, remember, goodbye, let's keep in touch."

"Easy to say, there is a living connection."

After hanging up the old captain's call, Carl quickly received communication requests from the priest, He Gezi, and other intermediaries. As the team's talker, Carl had to wait until his friends were all eating V's special Badlands breakfast. , dealing with the greetings from the middlemen one after another, and when he finally ended the various greeting communications and sat at the dining table, he saw what the so-called badland breakfast was.

"Kebab?"

From the perspective of food in Night City, it is surprisingly ordinary.

"In the bad land, we can occasionally catch some lizards at night, and then roast them during the day and sprinkle some seasonings for breakfast. But there are no lizards in the city, so I used the pork you put in the refrigerator, Karl."

Bad soil lizards lie dormant during the day and come out at night. Then they catch lizards at night and grill them and eat them during the day.

Carl thought that the normal activities of the wilderness wanderer tribe were mostly at night when the sunlight was not very intense, which happened to coincide with the activity time of the lizards.

Although the pork kebabs are made from frozen and improperly handled pork, it has to be said that it is indeed a delicacy for Karl, who has gradually adapted to the diet of Night City.

After eating four large skewers, plus a piece of white bread and a glass of orange juice from the float,

Karl's breakfast was finally over, and then he discussed the work to be done with others at the dining table.

In addition to the old captain, other middlemen still found some tasks for Karl to choose. Although the reward was not very high, as V officially became a member of the team, the first task was quite suitable. According to a fair method , Carl sent all the work to others and prepared to discuss what to do.

Talking about this kind of thing that was usually discussed on the channel at a dining table gave Karl the feeling of talking over meals and talking in the past, which was quite strange.

In the discussion of the mission, Carl did not participate much. It would be better to say that for a bunch of small tasks, except for V who was thinking hard and analyzing the rewards, dangers and trouble levels of each mission, the other team members did not pay too much attention. .

In an ordinary mercenary team, these jobs may be rare and important jobs that need to be taken seriously, but to them, they really don't matter, so they left the job to V, who just joined, to choose.

V looked left and right, and finally chose a job from a priest.

"Destroy Mewtwo's Black Workshop": Some people's hands and feet are not very clean recently, so I have to give a small warning.

This is a job with reasonable remuneration and detailed information, including the address.

All that’s left is for Carl and his friends to kill those people.

“Then it’s decided to be this job.”

Seeing that no one had any objections, Carl decided to do this job. After sending a message to the priest to express his willingness to do it, the priest sent the attachments and deposit.

Not paying attention to the deposit that was distributed as soon as he got it, Carl read the relevant attachments, and his expression became more and more complicated.

Equally complicated were Jack and Oliver. While they were looking at the attachments sent in the chat channel, they glanced at Carl.

The reason was simple.

The attachments of this Mewtwo Black Workshop involved Carl, and it could even be said that they were closely related. Maybe the priest found this and sent this job to them.

Because the content of this job is...::

‘A ​​group of people, with Carl in the Super Dream movie as their leader, created a person who looks like Carl, and made him the murderer in Black Super Dream. Together with Black Super Dream, who had Carl appear before, they continued to pirate and distribute the Cyber ​​Psycho Carl collection.’
