Cyberpunk: Raising the Corporate Dog

"Even you who are doing counter-intelligence..."

Jingxuan's face showed disappointment. After all, she only had this mother to depend on.

She was on the verge of collapse when the incident first happened, and even after two months, it was still difficult to accept it.

V was also helpless: "Your mother's matter is not simple. All information related to her is encrypted and there is a special firewall. According to my experience, she must be involved in Arasaka's important resources. By the way, Jing Xuan, has your mother given you anything recently?"

Brother Gou made a quick decision: "Jingxuan, please don't say anything. Although this V has always been very kind to you, don't forget your mother's instructions! You told me all this yourself."

Jingxuan opened her mouth just a little, then closed it, looked into V's eyes, and paused:

"No, my mother disappeared suddenly without any warning."

V did not doubt Jingxuan, but hugged her gently and comforted her kindly.

Jingxuan signed a few names on the electronic document and left the trauma team's exclusive hospital. She had a meal with V and then said goodbye to him.

"Brother Dog, there is no progress with V for the time being. It seems that the only choice is to go to the middleman named Faraday. According to some clues that my mother left at home, she had a lot of dealings with this Faraday before, and my mother still buys from him. Pass something.”

"That's because they act as middlemen and have great information skills. Maybe it's the only breakthrough. I also want to find your mother, Miyuki Aso. After all, I'm just a data consciousness, and I also want to understand my origin. Where does it come from? Whose brain downloaded it?"

In the evening, Jingxuan and Faraday met in a bar built on a bridge in the Charter Hill area.

The result of the negotiation was that Faraday provided a team of mercenaries to go to an Arasaka facility to steal biochip information for Jingxuan.

Jingxuan wants to act with this team.

After Faraday left, Brother Dog became furious:

"You silly girl, in the end, you paid for it, but you did things for others, and you had to face huge risks yourself. It's really a good deal."

"What does it matter? Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to pass through Arasaka's information protection by myself. Brother Gou, please adjust your mentality. We are alone and have only a little money. You can treat it as if you paid for mercenaries. You won't lose money." If we really encounter a crisis, you still have your dog brother here. Then I will let you get on top and give you all the control. If you have the ability to save me."

Brother Dog couldn't laugh or cry, he couldn't help but praise: "Nah, you're the only one who talks so sweetly! If you really want to put yourself in danger, you must buy something handy. You must have a submachine gun, a shotgun, and a sniper rifle, and you must have all kinds of grenades. . Just a small thing like a pistol is useless."

Jingxuan: "How do you know Huobian? This is a hacker operation, okay?"

Brother Gou disagrees:

"If the hacker team introduced by Four Eyes is really good, it would be best if they could avoid the battle. But we have to prepare for the worst."

Jingxuan put her index finger on her lower lip, tilted her head slightly, looking innocent:

"Brother Dog, I think you seem to remember everything. Your combat proficiency is off the charts and you are proficient in all kinds of weapons. Why can't you remember your own life experience?"

Brother Dog shrugged: "Then you have to ask your mother, Miyuki Aso, maybe I am the Black Hand of Morgan."

Jingxuan made a face at him:

"I want to eat shit in my dreams. Morgan's underworld keeps a low profile. You are the kind of reckless man who does whatever he sees."

Brother Dog launched a perfect attack on Jingxuan like a machine gun.

The bastard recited sutras and couldn't help but listen.

Jingxuan couldn't resist him, so she could only arrange to meet the mercenary team at Lizzy Bar.

Jingxuan was very puzzled: "Brother Dog, there is one thing I don't understand. You are a data consciousness, a chip inserted in my brain. Although you project a man's image and man's voice in my visual system , but in fact you have no gender at all, why do you still like women? Why do you go to Lizi to see beautiful women? "

Brother Gou observed all the women as close as possible from Jingxuan's perspective, with an expression of enjoyment:

"I really don't know about this. I should have been a man before."

Jingxuan: "Don't you know your... um... ?"

Brother Gou’s lustful eyes did not stop, he was still very busy:

"I can't explain this to you. For example, I have my own knowledge reserves and residual skills. Well, it's like I'm good at marksmanship and proficient in fighting skills. Or if you ask me to get involved, as long as there are good ingredients, I can give them to you right away. Cook a table of delicious food, but I just don’t know what I did before, it seems like it was deleted deliberately, well, it must be your mother."

Jingxuan captured an important point:

"Wait a minute, Brother Gou, you said you can cook a table of good food?" Brother Gou disagreed: "What's wrong? What's wrong with being able to cook?"

Jingxuan: "Didn't you say that you have a reserve of knowledge? Cooking? Don't you know what food everyone eats now? People in Night City eat nothing but bugs."

Brother Gou suddenly stopped, not looking at the writhing girls in Lizzy, with a shocked expression:

"Yes, the main meat now... is actually synthetic meat. Although it is said to be beef, pork, and chicken, it is actually made of bugs..."

Jingxuan: "Yes, so you can cook a table of dishes? Don't you think it's strange? Where are there any cooks now? They are all packaged fast food. It will take decades for ordinary people to be able to eat natural foods Back then. Environmental pollution was not that serious at that time, so which generation are you from?"

Brother Gou fell into deep thought, and the image caressed his chin:

"What you said makes sense. We have always taken it for granted that my backup time was 2 months ago. In fact, there is no way to know my real birthday. And whether my body is still alive..."

Jingxuan joked: "Brother Dog is actually an old Banggua~"

She was about to continue complaining when a strange number called from the upper left side of her perspective.

After answering the phone, a rough voice sounded, as if I had just heard it recently:

"Hello, Miss A?"

"Yes, I am A, you are?"

"I'm Mann. I received a mission from Faraday to steal some information from a data management server in Arasaka. He said he could ask you for help."

"Yes, yes, there is such a thing."

Nowadays, making phone calls is actually a direct communication using the brain, which is absolutely private, but Brother Dog can hear the content of the call, and his long-winded nature is his nature:

"You have to do the tasks you spend money to release yourself. Our Miss Aso Jingxuan is really a kind-hearted person."

Jingxuan rolled her eyes at him and continued to communicate with Mann:

"So are you here? I'm already at Lizzy."

Mann: "We just arrived at Lizzy's gate."

Jingxuan was waiting in the Lizi lobby. A group of people pushed the door open and walked in. Jingxuan and the dog brother were stunned, as was the other party.

Although there was colorful music and loud music on the dance floor, Mann was very recognizable for his size, and Lucy's beautiful appearance was also impressive.

There are four other people beside them, with different styles. Mann and Lucy also recognized Jingxuan, after all, they had just met her in the hospital in the afternoon.

Jingxuan showed a pleasant smile, made a gesture to signal everyone to follow her, and led them into a private box.

The private room is quite small and it is not easy to squeeze 7 people into it.

There is also a virtual image of a woman dancing and twisting on the coffee table.

Jingxuan noticed the other party's embarrassment and explained:

"Cyberpunks, don't be nervous, I'm not from the company."

When Mann and Lucy were complaining in the hospital, Jingxuan had actually heard the two whispering. Generally speaking, street people hate company dogs very much.

After hearing Jingxuan explain that she was not from the company, Mann and Lucy looked slightly relaxed, while the other four looked confused.

Mann showed a silly smile and stretched out his hand to shake:

"Haha, this is the second time we meet today. Hello, Miss A."

Jingxuan only shows elegance when facing outsiders. Brother Gou naturally wants to complain, but Jingxuan chooses to ignore it.

Mann began to introduce his teammates:

"This little girl with twin tails is Rebecca, our heavy firepower expert. That strong woman with a stunning figure that matches me is Dolio, an all-around player. This is Lucy, our genius hacker, you I've seen it too. And her, the one wearing a metal mask is Qiwei, an experienced hacker. Well, there is also a teammate named Pila, who is Rebecca's brother. He just died last week. Damn it. I happened to meet a cybernetic..."

When Mann introduced, everyone nodded.

Jingxuan expressed surprise and interrupted Mann's words: "There are quite a few cyberpsychopaths in Night City, so the one Pyrrha encountered must also be very strong, right?"

Rebecca spoke harshly: "It was my stupid brother who was too lax. That cyberpsychopath's head was blown to pieces by me in the end. My dead brother was too stupid and died inexplicably."

Brother Dog: "Xuan'er, don't tell me, I quite like these guys. They all have the potential to become cyberpsychotics. They are interesting enough and can be dealt with."

Mann immediately got to the point: "That's it for the introduction. This time we are going to an Arasaka server base in the valley area, which is heavily guarded. The request given to me by the middleman is to hack a designated small server. We need to find this target and Try to avoid fighting...although corporate dogs are no match for us."

Jingxuan thought to herself that this Mann was very loud. Who didn't know that the most difficult person in the world was Arasaka, but he actually said that he was not his opponent.

If Mann wasn't stupid, maybe this team's strength is really incredible?

Mann continued: "The middleman asked Miss A to join, saying that you have experience in cracking the Arasaka firewall."

Jingxuan: "Um... Yeah, yes, it happened a few times."

Lucy could see Jingxuan's guilty conscience and was staring intently at the micro-expression on her face.

Jingxuan wanted to participate personally but didn't want the team to know that she was actually the employer. If something went wrong, these people could be used as backup.
