The giant corporations that started in Night City

"Then... when can V separate from Johnny?"

At this time, Ott Cunningham asked the question that V was most concerned about. If it was not a last resort, who would be willing to let a stranger live in their brain.

Sure enough, as soon as Ott asked this question, V looked at Leon with expectation. As long as she didn't wait for a lifetime, even if she waited for ten or eight years, it would be fine!

If it really doesn't work, waiting for twenty years will be fine.

In short, V didn't want to stay with Johnny Silverhand and chat and argue with him all the time, fighting for control of the body every day.

"When can you two separate? The specific time does not depend on me, but on Ott Cunningham."

Leon turned his head to look at Ott and said:

"AI White Queen relies on devouring data and completing self-iteration evolution with other AIs. If you want the White Queen to separate the consciousness of two people, it must evolve once or twice."

After speaking, Leon secretly opened the system panel and looked at the attribute column of AI White Queen.

[AI White Queen Information Panel:

Level 3——Three AI clones can coexist at the same time, and real-time data sharing can be achieved regardless of device restrictions and spatial distance!

AI White Queen's current location: AI No. 1 (LA company headquarters), AI No. 2 (cyberspace-edge of black wall), AI No. 3 (Chapter 6 prosthesis)

Data information processing is further strengthened, and data processing and data optimization functions can be performed according to instructions. 】

…

At present, AI White Queen is still a long way from upgrading to level 4. The breeder Ott Cunningham has to work harder to have the hope of feeding the White Queen to level 4.

"Ott, V is now temporarily acting as Johnny's soul container. When Johnny can come back depends on your performance."

Leon's words are obviously pointing at Ott. If you want Johnny Silverhand to come back to life as soon as possible, you have to capture more roaming AI to feed the White Queen.

As Arasaka's soul killer project shocked the company's top executives around the world, more and more corporate hackers and private hackers flocked to cyberspace to capture roaming AI.

People die for money and birds die for food. The huge profits drive countless hackers to continue to move forward. Even if they risk being killed by roaming AI, countless hackers still regard it as a new gold rush.

Because the later it gets, the fewer AIs with lower danger levels will be, and the rest will be all highly dangerous roaming AIs!

So you have to make a fortune early. If you enter the market too late, you won’t even be able to drink the hot leftover soup.

"Yes, I understand."

Ott nodded, her expression became heavier than ever. It seems that the roaming AIs on the edge of the black wall are not enough for her to catch. If she wants to catch more, she has to cross the black wall!

In fact, Ott is not the only professional AI hunter in cyberspace. For example, the Plasma Commando and the hacker codenamed "Lark" are all very powerful hackers.

The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish. If you want to get more, you must take risks that others dare not take.

"Ott, I understand your difficulties. You know very little about the AI ​​White Queen, so from now on, I will open some permissions to you to help you use the AI ​​White Queen to better capture the roaming AI."

"Now you can enter the White Queen's independent data storage space and let it take you safely and freely through the black wall to capture the roaming AI on the other side of the wall."

"If you encounter danger, the White Queen can still take you back to a safe area quickly, so you don't need to take risks."

"The only thing you have to do is to capture low-level roaming AI and avoid high-level dangerous AI."

Leon knew very well what Ott was worried about. Crossing the black wall to capture roaming AI is an extremely dangerous network deep dive behavior.

Facing all kinds of unknown digital life, any normal person will feel fear.

Hacker masters like Lucy will immediately trigger a stress response when they hear the black wall. She has been in contact with the black wall too many times and has developed serious psychological trauma sequelae to the AI ​​on the other side of the wall.

"Thank you, Mr. Leon. I will make the White Queen evolve as soon as possible." Ott said gratefully.

With this technical guarantee, she can continue to dive deep into cyberspace with peace of mind.

"Ott, you go out first, leave me and V here to talk." Leon nodded to Ott.

"Yes."

Immediately, after taking a look at V, Ott Cunningham turned and left the office. Only Leon and V were left in the huge living room.

"V, we have talked about how to save you. Now it's time to talk about how you pay the chips."

Leon never intended to let V eat for free here. Even if he has Johnny's consciousness data in his body, he must abide by the basic company rule of "equivalent exchange".

No one can get LA company's resources for free!

What's more, the value of a life is not something that can be bought with money. V uses the top operating system prosthesis and the strategic company resource AI White Queen!

If these two things were put on the market, they would be worthless. If they were sold to President Miles, he would at least be able to get a governorship.

If it weren't for seeing that V was really suitable for this prosthetic device, Leon would really be reluctant to put the White Queen into V's brain.

"Mr. Leon, I understand your rules."

V nodded seriously and said, "From now on, my life belongs to LA Company. I can do any dangerous mission for you."

"You can ask any middleman about my reputation in Night City. I dare to take the jobs that others dare not take, and I dare to save the people that others dare not save."

"In short, I don't choose my job!"

Although V had a bad impression of LA Company before, he mistakenly thought that this company was no different from other companies, and they were all giant companies that grew by sucking the blood and sweat of the people.

But with the observation during this period of time, V found that LA Company was indeed different from Arasaka and Military Technology, at least not as bad as them.

The most important thing is that only LA Company can save his life now, which is very important!

"V, I'm very happy that you can say that, because you are indeed a rare genius."

Leon smiled. It would be a pity to tie a top Cyber ​​Megatron mercenary like V to his side all day long and make him an ordinary bodyguard.

This is simply a serious waste of resources.

It's better to let him go and show off to other companies!

"But your current identity is a bit sensitive to LA Company, because Arasaka Yorinobu is eliminating the negative impact of Saburo's death, so you are not suitable to appear as an employee of LA Company."

"You should just be the same as before, just pretend that you have never been to the Blue Sky Building. Most of the people who know about this have been silenced, and the rest depends on how tight your mouths are with you and Jack."

"In short, don't mention your visit to the Blue Sky Building to anyone again. If anyone asks, you two must never admit it."

"Do you understand?"
