From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

October 3th, Sunday.

"Cyberpunk 2077" universe, Night City.

Viewed from above, this city with many giant buildings, suspended airships, and a bright appearance is still facing an "ordinary" day as usual.

Northern California in March is a cold and humid stage with continuous light rain in the main universe.

However, the "Cyberpunk" universe has been severely damaged due to environmental reasons, making the Night City today cloudless and with a dry climate.

During the noon hour, poor people at the lower levels need to take public or private vehicles to go to their respective jobs, regardless of whether it is weekend or not.

However, the employment rate is low, leaving Night City filled with a large number of homeless people, as well as gang members who are always thinking about how to kill people and get goods.

There are also free mercenaries who "make one person full and the whole family not hungry", or various intermediaries, middlemen, etc.

The extreme gap between the rich and the poor has prompted the spiritual world of most people, in addition to "not being killed or starved to death today", to think about how to squeeze into the upper class.

now.

A sky train is passing between buildings and neighborhoods, heading from Santo Domingo to Westbrook in the north.

inside the car;

A male "high school student" who appeared to be sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a black jacket and jeans, was sitting on the window seat with dull eyes, looking out at the city scenery outside the window.

Moreover, this male high school student has a hairstyle that looks like an airplane haircut, and his face can be considered delicate.

But his expression revealed an unconcealable exhaustion.

boom--! boom!

At this moment, several explosions came from the window, attracting the attention of the male high school student.

Hear the sound and go.

Then he saw a fierce firefight taking place on the street below.

The NCPD police officer, who was also a "worker", tried to corner a bare-chested guy with strong "muscles".

However, the firearms of the NCPD police officers had no effect on that guy at all.

Ding-dang-!

The bullets clanked, unable to penetrate the guy's skin at all.

On the other hand, the police officers were shattered by the grenade launchers and automatic shotguns used by the opponent.

Although he had an absolute advantage in numbers, that guy regarded the police officers as "noobs" and within a few moments, he killed all the police officers surrounding him.

Even though the NCPD came to support, the police car it drove was hit by that guy's grenades and shotguns, and caught fire and exploded one after another.

However, after taking care of all the police officers in sight, the guy stayed in place without any intention of escaping——

Cybermaniac.

Seeing that guy's behavior, all the train passengers, including the male high school students, immediately recognized him as a cybermaniac whose consciousness was eroded by the prosthetic body and became a "mental patient".

Ordinary police officers are like crooked melons and jujubes. Their weapons, equipment and prosthetics cannot compete head-on with such mental patients.

Soon, a riot-control airship belonging to the NCPD with the words "MAX-TAC (Terrorist Mobile Team)" printed on both sides arrived over the messy neighborhood.

The airship opened the hatches on both sides, revealing the members of the violent terrorist mobile team equipped with advanced prosthetics and weapons and equipment to the eyes of the male high school students and the passengers.

Subsequently, this group of special police officers, who specialize in dealing with cyber lunatics, officially took over the scene.

However, when they witnessed the violent terrorist mobile team completely paralyzing the cybermaniac's body, the train completed the corner and entered another neighborhood, causing the male high school students and passengers to lose their sight.

In response, some passengers shook their heads, as if they were slightly unhappy because they did not get to see the most exciting "execution" moment.

The vast majority of passengers moved their eyes away from the window and back into the car, continuing to focus on their own matters.

After all, turmoil like the one just now occurs in Night City all the time.

It would be a strange phenomenon if there were no gunshots or explosions in the city.

On the other hand, the male high school student's eyes flickered and he became more energetic. He seemed to like such "intense and exciting" scenes.

"Hey."

Then, he sighed again, as if he felt sorry for what happened to the cyber madman.

Beep——!

Suddenly, his pupils flashed, and a message reminder sound came from his ears.

After quickly reading the entire content, a high school student named David Martinez closed the message, then his eyes were fascinated, and he lay back in his seat and fell into deep thought.

Half a month ago, he had never heard of this name.

But within half a month, a company that claimed to be good at medical technology and focused on people's livelihood products quickly became famous.

Of course, it's not how good that company's products are, but that company's behavioral style, which can be described as crazy, "blatantly" devouring a large number of Tiger Claw Gang's strongholds.

In just a few days, half of the island's streets were violently controlled.

The most important thing is that the Tiger Claw Gang is just like the ordinary NCPD police officers he saw before, who are helpless against the cybermaniacs and unable to stop Atlas's expansion.

The gang members were bloody wiped out, and the original industries were completely reorganized by Atlas.

Moreover, by the time the NCPD, who was responsible for the security of Island Street, arrived on the scene, Atlas's "mercenaries" had already ended the battle and disappeared without a trace.

In addition, Atlas also used unknown means to make the top NCPD officials on Island Street regard the annexation and expansion as an ordinary gang struggle and hastily closed the case.

This makes David think that Atlas is just another "dirty" capital enterprise.

What's more, the conflicts between companies and gangs are really nothing worthy of too much attention in Night City. After all, the NCPD's authority is not as good as that of the middle and senior management of giant companies.

However, the recruitment information posted on the official website of Atlas refreshed David's understanding.

For example, "Cybersecurity consultant: monthly salary of 5400 euros, two weekends a week, to ".

Or "Armed security personnel: monthly salary of 7200 euros, shift system, and after signing a formal contract, you can enjoy our company's medical insurance benefits" and so on.

Weekend?

Nine to five? ?

These words seemed too strange to David.

But the position that really intrigued him and prompted him to apply for it was "internship security".

The age limit is 15-18 years old. On six days a week, you can go to the Atlas branch building in Westbrook to receive various professional trainings. The weekly salary is 300-500 euros. The specific salary depends on the situation. The minimum It won't be less than 300.
