Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

But soon, once his money was started, it was consumed at a faster rate than when it was recorded.

The modification cost of the giant beast includes the purchase cost of materials and components, as well as Claire's labor cost.

Advance treatment expenses of Team Shen and others, including surgical equipment, consumables and implants, and surgery fees for Lao Wei and Mia.

The bill for the modification of the safe house, including building materials and safety equipment, as well as the daily expenses of water, electricity and food.

A large sum of money was lent to Mia and Octavio to allow them to purchase a mobile surgical platform, as well as a complete set of equipment and medical consumables.

How else can it be said that it is easy to spend money and difficult to make money.

Although these investments are worthwhile, and even some of them will slowly flow back to his somewhat empty account later, this still makes him feel a sense of crisis.

Not to mention that he also spent a lot of money on intelligence——

He was interested in the secrets of the Gulf of Mexico.

According to T-Bug's suggestion, in the future, she will create a set of equipment for Luo Qi that can "visit the scene" thousands of miles away.

This cost is huge.

As far as Luo Qi currently has a small 200 million yuan, it is just enough to collect a "novice starter package".

If you want to experience the full functionality of the "Ultimate Master Edition", you have to keep pouring money into it.

And still in the absence of equipment loss.

is it possible?

Luo Qi naturally knew that this was nothing more than wishful thinking.

The bad news is that.

The good news is that there is still some time before the plan officially starts.

"Porcupine" has boarded a flight to Europe.

He will contact Luo Qi after he arrives in Germany, which he longs for, and settles himself down.

As for who "Porcupine" is...

That's the person who chatted with Luo Qi all afternoon, but refused to reveal his name or code name.

"Just call it Porcupine. Well, it's a good name. From now on, I'll be called Porcupine. The original one is already dead, understand?"

That's what Porcupine told Rocky.

"Although, don't you think the name sounds very meaty?"

Luo Qi determined that it wasn't his English level that was a problem, but that the other party's naming style was too weird.

Porky, meaty, is often used to describe a person who is fleshy or fat.

Of course, it is also sometimes used to refer to porcupines.

Apparently, this time it meant the latter one.

Instead of thinking of a meaty prick that didn't match the image of the other party, Luo Qi had to start imagining him as a person called "Pochi", and then his body was covered with porcupine quills.

This is their slang term.

Porcupines especially like to collect all kinds of weapons, and they use them differently every time. There seems to be endless weapons. It looks like a "porcupine" who has fully armed himself.

Maybe someone used to call him that before, so he just accepted it and took it as his new name.

Although, Luo Qi will always pronounce "Porky" as "Boki"...

Forget it, anyway, the other party doesn't understand Chinese homonyms.

Luo Qi shook his head, and threw out the strange picture in his head.

He might as well be called "Porcupine" than "Boki".

Putting aside this kind of boring joke, Luo Qi's need for money made him focus on a new business.

It's always been said that greed for money leads to a never-ending desire for more.

People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants like snakes.

However, in Luo Qi, he didn't feel the kind of greed that kept expanding and spreading in his heart, which was insatiable.

The money is spent where it should be used.

What can be seen is called infrastructure construction, and what is invisible is called strategic investment.

As for the gifts and favors mixed in, Luo Qi has long been too lazy to calculate.

But he knew that if he, V and Jack came to Night City back then, with the background they have now, they would not have to be held to the head with a gun, hang out on the streets every day, looking forward to one day becoming famous day.

Speaking of which, his suspension is still far away.

This is not considered a paid holiday. During this period, his salary was completely suspended.

Although there are some basic subsidies, they are incomparable with the salary itself.

As for the salary, it was completely incomparable with the money he needed.

So this made him, desperately need to find something to make money.

After a concise phone call with Regina, Luo Qi easily received the highest entrustment of revenge he could get so far——

The highest is because there are only so many highest, otherwise Luo Qi would not hesitate to choose the higher one.

The thing is actually very simple, that is, a hacker that Regina was looking for has lost contact.

Although it is not a master like T-Bug, it is enough to compete with the ICE of the company's subnet.

Everyone knows that if hackers die, most of them die in cyberspace.

Locked in by the fierce ICE counterattack, directly and quickly reincarnated, pay attention in the next life.

But this man is different.

He installed a siren on himself—

Once his nerves are burned in cyberspace, the siren will accurately report a signal to everyone who tries to call or send him a message.

If you are lucky, you may also attach detailed processing documents, similar to the "black box" on the plane, which allows people to review the scene at that time.

As for why?

Regina said he was telling anyone who knew how to contact him.

For hackers, privacy is almost equal to safety of life.

They make broilers as easily as eating and drinking, and it is actually a breeze to set up a few virtual numbers for the people they deal with.

Different people need different treatment.

As the saying goes, talk to people when you see people, and talk to ghosts when you see ghosts, which probably means this.

Regina, obviously, was his friend.

Because he did die.

However, the returned information did not show any cause of death. Not only were the backups of the running records and work logs blank, but the short message did not even include the cause of death.

Either the company's top chip is malfunctioning, or this daring hacker wrote code and overturned the car. Anyway, Regina now knows nothing except that he is screwed.

And this money was paid entirely by Regina herself——

The premise is that Luo Qi can complete her task.

Find the wretch's body, or at least investigate.

His own importance can't be said to be irrelevant, it can only be said that Luo Qi doesn't think as much.

The problem is that some time ago, Regina started contacting this hacker who only named herself by the code name, planning to rob the network surveillance together.

The image of NCPD network hackers may be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people——

A big black leather jacket, black sunglasses, a black suit and leather shoes...

Wait, is this the Matrix theater?

Sometimes I have to admit that the image in film and television works is far more popular with the public than the rigid appearance "carefully" created by the official.

And network surveillance is a group of masters who don't really show their true colors in front of the public.

At least compared to NCPD hackers.

T-Bug once said bluntly that she couldn't deal with a few such masters, and even a top boss could kill her directly in the cyberspace.

She is an all-around assassin, not a group of armored cavalry who charge in groups against a server mountain like power armor.

These guys might be great—

You can hack your intervention pod in a second, you can find your location in an instant and upload a virus to bring you down, and you can make your smart weapons and prosthetic eyes start to play disobediently in two or three clicks. .

Vehicles with systems, subnets with access points, impregnable ICE...

They can find a way to dismantle it for you.

After all, the criminal record of network surveillance is no less than that of the violent terrorist mobile team. They recruited a group of wild masters with high prices and super treatment.

But they're not really hunks who can slow down bullets, after all.

If you eat a bullet, you will still die, if you step on a trap, you will still die.

CyberWatch is headquartered in Europe.

And there are some things that are only the best if they are produced by themselves.

After all, they are the top in this industry, and their technology is also top-notch in the world. It is impossible to find mass-produced substitutes on the market.

Just like formula racing, it is completely a competitive game of major car companies.

The best things can only be made by themselves.

Bought in the market?

how is this possible.

Hackers pay the most attention to performance.

Especially when the styles and levels of the two sides are similar, superhuman performance may mean a slight loss and a huge difference in the result.

Since things are so good, there will naturally be people who are greedy.

Regina is one of them.

"These things can sell for sky-high prices on the black market that you wouldn't expect."

She said so.

That is to say, Luo Qi doesn't want to play with transformation, otherwise she will have to amuse a bunch of incredible magical things.

For example, the performance is better than the best products that can be bought on the market, and it is even stronger than the internal version of a generation.

With strong verification code identification and biometric information lock, there are also access restrictions and background programs that are difficult to erase.

Getting these things is a challenge.

Making these things usable is yet another challenge.

Just something went wrong with Regina's first challenge-

When she was about to do it, she suddenly couldn't contact the hacker.

No cache records, no street footage, not even sightings.

The network monitoring car is gone, her hackers are gone, nothing.

It was impossible for her to ask the network supervisor directly if she had found her own hacker, and then killed him to silence him.

Most importantly, she didn't know if that unlucky guy had left any clues about her.

This is the most important thing.

Being a middleman and a mercenary are to some extent the same.

One of the principles: Whether you are reliable or not, you can only believe in yourself, and never listen to other people's judgments.

Just like a hacker during an attack, the temporary ICE must be handled by himself before he can rest assured.

Otherwise, I don't know when, behind myself and my teammates, the opponent's hacker has broken in, and then the whole nest is gone.

Rather than saying that this is a technical job, it is better to say that it is a profession of heart.
