Chapter 791 Partner


    The trembling girl got into the car and then quickly left. At the same time, the phone ringing sounded in D''s ears.


    "Good job, D. The commission has been completed. I have already transferred the money to your account. How about Lucy''s partner?"


    "It''s OK, it''s OK."


    D said lightly, in the past, D was left to Lumier to do these things, but they were just ordinary tasks, and any hacker could do them. At least for now, Lucy is quite competent in this regard.


    "That''s good, by the way, have you destroyed the Vortex Gang?"


    "Are there any problems?"


    "No... NCPD is so happy. You know, after the appearance of the NCPD, the crime rate in the entire neighborhood dropped by several percentage points... but some people are not very happy."


    “They won’t be upset soon.”


    "Why………"


    Hearing D''s indifferent answer, Roger sighed lightly.


    "D, I understand your thoughts, but you also have to consider the situation. Indeed, these guys from the Uzumaki Gang are quite disgusting, and there are also scavengers... To be honest, I also hope to make them disappear completely, but I can''t do it. Do you understand? There are some things that only they can do, but look at what you have done. You have only been to Night City for half a month, but you almost killed all the Scavengers and the Uzumaki Gang in Night City. You are not a messenger of justice..."


    "You have also given me many tasks in this regard."


    "That''s because I didn''t expect your action will be so strong..."


    Speaking of this, Roger was also having a headache. During the half month of working with D, Roger discovered that the girl in front of her not only had an old-fashioned idea, but also had an old-fashioned style. In the Night City, gangs are raging, so everyone naturally hates it. But most people adhere to the idea that it is better to have less than more things. When they see gangs bullying others, they just avoid them far away.


    Even if a case occurs, it is difficult for NCPD to arrive. The reason is very simple. They themselves have low salaries and cannot fight against these desperate people.


    But D is different. Whenever a case occurs, she will arrive at the scene faster than NCPD and kill the gangsters there without leaving behind. In addition, she was not idle on weekdays and went to her gang''s nests to rob her houses, especially the Uzumaki Gang and the Scavenger. She was beaten so hard that she could hardly take care of herself. Now even the boss of the Uzumaki Gang has been **** to death by her...


    "Indeed, the security in this neighborhood has improved a lot now, and everyone is grateful to you, but what''s the use? You just caused more troublesome people and were heroes in Night City, but there was no good ending."


    “Those guys are quite rich too.”


    D answered indifferently that in fact, she robbed her house everywhere and gained a lot of benefits from the gangsters. For example, D''s high-end apartment in the city center and the white stone sword sports car were all exchanged for the flesh and blood of those gangsters. After all, it only costs a lot to entrust Roger. It’s better to go and eat black food by yourself. It turns out that horses are not fat without night grass, and people are not rich without windfall.


    No wonder the heroes can eat meat and drink wine without doing anything. Those bandits and bandits have a lot of money.


    He worked hard to cheat and finally got the messenger of justice. Those gangsters didn’t care, she only knew that she was already rich now.


    "You know that''s not what I mean."


    "I know, it''s like this commission, right?"


    D snorted, he wasn''t stupid, okay, even if this is the nest of the Vortex Gang, the opponent''s defense is too tight. And according to Lucy''s reconnaissance, all of those automatic turrets and mines are military things. Even if the Vortex Gang has a little reputation, how could it get these things?


    To put it bluntly, some people must be disliked by what they do, so they set a trap for themselves through this entrustment, wanting to kill or capture her.


    It’s a pity that if you don’t have a diamond, don’t take care of porcelain work. If you want to deal with yourself, the mere Vortex Gang is not enough to watch.


    Just kidding, as the judge investigated in Chaodu, I have experienced many similar things. I really don’t like this kind of small fuss like Night City.


    "To be honest, I really don''t understand what you want to do in Night City. Do you want to be a legend in Night City?"


    "Legend? I''m not interested in that boring thing."


    "So what do you want to do?"


    “The time is coming, you will know.”


    After saying this, D cut off the communication, looked at Lucy who was walking towards him, and nodded.


    "Thank you for your hard work, so about the reward... let''s get 50% off."


    "Why?"


    I have to say that when Lucy heard D''s proposal, he seemed quite surprised. Generally speaking, hackers are mostly divided into 30%, unless it is some tasks that require hackers to read data or steal data. After all, their positioning is assisted, and the real battle is still in front. D is a famous mercenary in Night City. He is a newcomer who has just arrived in Night City. When Lucy thinks, it is good that the other party is willing to score 82 points, but it turns out to be 55?


    “Can I really get so much?”


    Looking at the account information displayed in front of him, Lucy also swallowed. After all, no matter where he was, he needed money. Not long after she arrived in Night City, she didn''t have much money to make her account. Such a sum of funds was enough to help her survive the embarrassing period.


    "Of course, I think you might have guessed it. Roger introduced you to me, most of the time he asked you to block the gun. My reputation in Night City is not good, and there are many people who treat me as a thorn in the eyes. They can''t kill me, so they may cause trouble for you. And don''t hackers need a lot of money to update the equipment? I can''t use it anyway, so I''ll give it to you."


    "Well………"


    Hearing D''s answer, Lucy''s expression was a little awkward. In fact, as D said, most of the money in this world is spent on prosthetic bodies. It costs money to buy prosthetic bodies, repair prosthetic bodies, and updating prosthetic systems also costs money to update prosthetic bodies - so in D''s opinion, most civilians in this world are really idle and have nothing to do. You may be injured using your arms and legs, but at least you don''t need to update the software.


    When you are using it, suddenly a blue screen pops up in front of you and “Please restart and upgrade after the update is downloaded”…that is funny.


    Of course, this does not mean that D does not need money. In this world, most of D''s money is spent on cars, houses and food.


    Yes, food.


    What makes D the most unhappy in this world is food. Ordinary people can only eat synthetic biochemical foods. Whether it is beef, chicken, mutton, pork, or something else, they are almost all the products of "technology and ruthlessness", and only those rich people can afford to eat real organic food.


    D I once was curious about eating the kebab on the street, and the taste was really... The vegetarian spicy strips sold in the grocery store at the entrance of the primary school were better than this.


    But real organic food is high-end, so D has to go to high-end restaurants every day, so most of the money he earns is naturally spent on it.


    It’s really something synthetic food is not something that humans can eat at all.


    At least D can’t stand it.


    “One more thing.”


    "What''s up?"


    "Girls don''t smoke."


    As he said, D glanced at the cigarette on Lucy''s hand. “It’s not good for the health.”


    “…You are not my mom…”


    Lucy rolled her eyes helplessly and wiped out the cigarette in her hand. Seeing this scene, D nodded with satisfaction.


    "Do you need me to send you home?"


    "No need! I still have something to do!"


    Hearing D''s suggestion, Lucy hurriedly retreated and shook her head desperately.


    "Okay, I''ll leave first."


    D waved his hand and sat in the sports car again. Then the next moment, accompanied by the roar, the white sports car ran away like a cheerful husky.


    “Huh……”


    Watching D leave, Lucy breathed a sigh of relief. She touched her stomach, came to a nearby restaurant, and ordered a portion of food. But when the steaming tomato soup was served, before Lucy could pick up the spoon and taste it, she couldn''t help but think of the **** corpses that had been smashed by D before...


    At this moment, Lucy lost all her appetite.


    In the next period of time, D and Lucy officially became partners and completed many tasks. In D''s opinion, Lucy''s level is pretty good. After all, D''s requirements are not high. As long as Lucy can cut off the surveillance and communication and lock the entire entrance and exit, she doesn''t need to worry about anything else. This kind of thing can basically be done by a hacker.


    But for Lucy... her mood is a bit complicated.


    On the one hand, the reward for cooperation with D is indeed very high, because Roger gives all the tasks that are well-paid. Of course, generally well-paid tasks are very dangerous, but most of them are withstood by D. Lucy has almost no special thing to do and rarely encounters danger.


    On the other hand, D''s violent fighting style really made Lucy feel a little scary.


    She has never seen a battlefield where flesh and blood are flying, but D''s fighting method... How to say it, in Lucy''s opinion, it is still unusual.


    To be honest, it is not surprising to make people vague. For example, using a shotgun or a hand cannon, the other party''s flesh and blood fly across and turns into several pieces in one shot. This is understandable. Because the power of shotguns and hand cannons is here, the same is true for landmines explosions, whether it is an automatic turret or a heavy machine gun, the power of weapons is like this.


    But looking at D''s little fist, like a hammer, directly hitting someone else''s head and punching him in the opposite direction, that was another kind of shock.


    In addition, Lucy also found that D seemed to like doing tasks very much.


    Every time Roger or other intermediary called her to entrust the task, she would almost agree at once, not bargaining or caring about the danger. D also once said to Lucy that every time he received a commission, it felt like the beginning of a game, and completing the commission was to break through the entire game, which was naturally quite interesting.


    But even D has his own persistence, that is, he never takes on the company''s tasks. Whether it is military technology, Arasaka, or biotechnology, D doesn''t even have birds, even if the other party asks, refuses directly, and does not give the other party any more.


    "She does this, sooner or later something will happen."


    Roger once saw the company''s client leaving with his sleeves as if his face turned pale, and he said to Lucy in a low voice, and Lucy also agreed with Roger''s words. Although everyone hates companies, they also know that in Night City, those companies really dominate the city. If they anger them, they will not have a good life.


    Lucy also has her own information channel, and she also knows that with D''s performance becoming increasingly prominent, she has gradually attracted the attention of those big companies. There are still many rumors in private, that is, those companies want to recruit D and turn her into her own "Adam''s heavy hammer"... This can be regarded as the highest evaluation of the mercenaries in Night City.


    At present, major companies such as D, Arasaka, Military Technology, Biotechnology, Kangtao have begun to fight openly and secretly, and they all hope to attract her to join. After all, this girl is already so strong before she is implanted. Once she joins the company and has those military-grade prosthetic bodies, who will know how strong she can be.


    Arasaka is able to act as a mighty person in the City of Night because of Adam’s heavy hammer. If other companies want to fight Arasaka, they naturally need their own “Adam’s heavy hammer.”


    As of now, D is the closest to this level.


    If it were other mercenaries, even if they didn''t choose Araka, they would have received the olive branch from the big company, but D didn''t care and refused them all. Lucy also knows how dangerous this is. Once D offends all the companies in Night City, she will only have one fate next.


    Lucy knew very well what these companies were thinking. Since they could not be used for them, they would be destroyed.


    This is also the reason why all the legends of Night City fall.


    They may have experienced a legendary life, but... they are no match for the company after all.


    Will D be an exception?


    Frankly, Lucy doesn''t know.


    But to be honest, D doesn''t care.


    Because for D, there are more important things to do now.


    "Do you know? Actually, I have always wanted to experience this kind of world."


    Sitting in front of the window and looking at the rain outside, D suddenly spoke.


    And at the terminal in front of D, Liumiel flashed a "question mark".


    "Look, this is also a kind of romance. The neon lights under the rain show the decadence and depravity of postmodernism. In a dilapidated office, a detective was sitting on a chair smoking a cigarette. Perhaps at some point, the door in front of him would be knocked, and then a mysterious client came in and started a brand new story..."


    D spread your hands.


    "Being a detective is actually quite interesting. Of course, it''s just about fun and storyline. Unfortunately, what we have to do is not that interesting."


    As he spoke, D snorted and looked at the terminal interface in front of him.


    “How long will it take?”


    "The data collected so far is only 80%, and it will take a little more time."


    "So keep going, I''m not interested in becoming the legend of Night City."


    D raised his head, looked at the silhouette of Arasaka Tower under the rain curtain outside the window, then reached out and clenched it tightly.


    "I want to be the king of... the city of night."
