Chapter 5 Lucina Cucinada!
After his subordinates retreated, the news about the new weapons leaked from Dogtown spread quickly in the underground black markets in various districts of Night City.

Some unscrupulous gun dealers packaged weapons of unknown origin as so-called "technical pistols", and some private workshops also labeled their products as [M-76E Omaha].

As for whether the stuff is real or not, who cares? As long as we can shoot, that’s enough. Anyway, everyone can make money. As long as we don’t reveal it, we can all make money together in harmony.

Suddenly, gun transactions in Night City's underground black market became more frequent and chaotic. Guns involved in multiple murders and weapons lost in police stations also began to flow into the black market.

……

After a few days of fermentation, various television media and radio stations in Night City began to seriously broadcast news about gang fighting in Watson District and new weapons leaking from Dog Town.

Since the first network of Cyberworld had been destroyed by the legendary hacker Richie Batmos, people had to build a black wall to block attacks from network viruses and wild AI.

Therefore, the channels for information dissemination in this world are quite limited, and most people can only get new news through large media companies bought by corporations or on certain radio programs that promote conspiracy theories.

As for whether the truth is important or not, it doesn’t matter.

Apart from the glamorous stars and super dream artists, the topics that people are most concerned about are the competition for territory between gangs and new weapons and new prosthetic technologies.

#WNSNews: A fierce conflict broke out between the Chinese Triads and the Tiger Claws. Prince Chen Tao threatened to wipe out the Japanese gangs in Little Chinatown! #
#N54 News: Mysterious firearms from Dog Town were exposed, suspected to be new weapons from a military industrial company! #
#Gun on Horseback: The real video of the gunfight in Kabuki District has been exposed. The mysterious pistol looks like SIG Sauer P320, but it can fire multiple bullets at a time. It's incredible! #
#RadioShow: Hello! I'm your Stanley! Have you heard, guys? Those dog warlords in Dogtown are dumping out their good stuff again!
I heard that a small number of lucky people have already bought the genuine product in Little Chinatown. Are there any brave enough people willing to make a purchase and give it a try?
Oh, by the way, if you want to buy it, you have to hurry up. The Tiger Claw Gang is searching for the arms dealer behind the scenes. If you are late, you will miss out. #
#……#
The news, which was difficult to distinguish between true and false, was like a bomb dropped into the bottom of a pool, causing heated discussions among all parties in Night City.

"Those bastards in Dog Town are so lucky. They can sell weapons and equipment that I don't even have the qualifications to look at on the battlefield like cabbage!"

——A retired veteran from the battlefields of Central America.

"I heard that Johnny Silverhand took over the Little Chinatown business from a middleman. This guy is really crazy. The Tiger Claw Gang is not a good gang to mess with."

— A newly minted middleman from Heywood.

"Hey, hey, hey! I've never heard of any new weapons leaking out of Dog Town recently. It's been a long time since those bastards from the U.S. Congress have sent us an airdrop. Do they still want us to work for them?"

—Active military members from Dogtown.

"..."

Little Chinatown, LA Arms store.

After completing his first gun deal with Johnny Silverhand, Le Ang's business began to pick up. Many gun dealers secretly found him, hoping that Le Ang could sell more good goods.

But Li Ang is well aware of the principle that "the one that sticks out gets shot down", so his attitude towards these gun dealers is: I can sell to you, but you can only sell my products in the future, and the profits have to be split 20% to 80%.

Of course, Li Ang took 80% of the profits.

This request is not excessive. There is always a market for popular goods. As long as the quality of the goods is good enough, there will be many people buying them even if you pay double the price.

The most important point is, don’t sell guns to the Tiger Claw Gang. If you dare to sell one, the cooperation will be terminated immediately and you will bear the consequences at your own risk!
Although there is one less large customer group, gun dealers still have other channels to sell their products. As for whether the weapons will eventually fall into the hands of the Tiger Claw Gang, that is none of their business.

In short, Leon and the black market dealers hit it off.

In just a few days, Leon has developed three or four black market distributors of his own, and their network of relationships is spread all over Night City.

On Leon's system panel, the value of his corporate currency was rising wildly, and the euros in his account were also multiplying like crazy.

It must be said that if a part of the business is cut out and handed over to those hyenas, the money will come as fast as turning on the tap. But Li Ang will not be satisfied with this.

The President of the United States, who lives in the White House, can negotiate arms orders worth tens of billions of euros with just his mouth. That's real money!
At this moment, Leon's idea was very simple, which was to first support a black glove belonging to him, to compete with Arasaka Company, and to seize his own corporate territory in Watson District.

By then, he will cooperate with those old guys in New America and squeeze out defense orders worth billions. By then, he will use the absolute power of the country to complete the internal unification of America and sweep across the world!
However, it is not easy to achieve this. Li Ang must first build his own makeshift team, make more friends and fewer enemies.

When necessary, it is not impossible to cooperate with Arasaka Corporation.

[Level 1 Task: Complete the first company transaction]

[Status: Completed]

[Task Reward: 100 million Euros, 100 Enterprise Coins, 1 chance to win a roulette draw]

……

Since Li Ang had completed enough sales, he had 10 chances to draw the roulette wheel, which was just enough to complete a ten-draw streak.

Mm! It's quite delicious!
"Lottery, start!"

The system's translucent panel began to spin the roulette wheel, and soon the lottery results appeared.

The bad news is that there was no withdrawal.

The good news is that a legendary cyber equipment has been released.

[This time, the 10 consecutive draws on the wheel have obtained: Thermal Energy Monomolecular Wire (Legend), Tsunami·Nekomata, Tsunami·Asura, Mallorian·Overture, Constitutional Military·Unification, Affordable Firepower·Killing...]

【Prosthetic Weapon: Thermal Energy Single Molecule Wire
Quality: Legend

Function: Single-molecule rays cause physical damage. They can produce a large amount of concentrated damage in one quick strike, instantly dismembering the enemy.

Item Description: A single strand of wire shaped like a long whip, with the blade only as wide as a molecule. 】

……

Except for the single-molecule line prosthetic equipment, which is of legendary quality, the rest are products of other cyber companies and are of ordinary quality.

The lottery result was half good and half bad, but Li Ang could accept it.

The highest level of tasks he can complete now is level 3. If he wants to draw good things at the "Golden Legend" level, he must start from at least level 5.

Li Ang’s top priority is to build a company large enough so that he can complete higher-level tasks and unlock more powerful technology points!
Just as Li Ang was thinking about how to start the next plan, the person he had been waiting for for a long time came into the store.

Ta, ta, ta!

The leather boots made a crisp sound as they stepped on the floor, and a refreshing fragrance blew in with the breeze outside the door.

"Ms. Lucina Cucinada, welcome."
