Chapter 63 This is Night City, the City of Dreams!

"Jack, you're telling me this. Could it be that you found a job to kidnap Leon from some middleman?"

V said with a smirk.

"This is not a surprise, but a shock."

"Go away! Li Ang is the weapon king of Little Chinatown and the founder of Watson District. His status in the Chinese community is comparable to that of Richard Knight."

Jack Wells rolled his eyes at V and said unhappily, "If we kidnap Mr. Li Ang, not to mention the NCPD, I'm afraid even Old V won't let us go."

"Lao Wei? What's wrong? Does he know Li Ang too?" V asked curiously.

"Of course. The LA company invited Lao Wei to work in the clinic of the medical center several times, but Lao Wei was thinking about the old guys around him and did not agree to go there."

"Old Wei and Mr. Li Ang have a very good personal relationship. Even Misty has received a lot of benefits from Li Ang. Hey... Didn't you come to see Old Wei for medical treatment? What's wrong with you?"

Jack suddenly remembered the purpose of this trip.

"Ugh! I feel better now, but I still feel something is weird. Who is that Sandra Dorsett? How come she has a neurological virus in her brain?"

V still attributed his discomfort to the virus, and he could not think of any other possibility.

"This job was introduced to us by Okada Wakako. If we want to ask, we can only ask her. Don't worry, let's go to Lao Wei to see the doctor first."

Wakako Okada is a well-established middleman with considerable experience in Night City. Most of the jobs she introduces are dangerous, but the pay is not low.

The mission to rescue that pretty chick Sandra Dorsett from the scavengers was introduced to V and Jack by her.

"Wait, didn't you say you were going to give me a surprise? Where is the surprise?" V asked.

"Oh! This matter... Hehe, don't worry, let's go get a good physical examination first. Anyway, I guarantee you will be surprised!"

After saying that, Jack Wells drove his car over and drove V all the way to Lao Wei's prosthetic clinic.

On the way over, V looked at the Blue Sky Building not far away and couldn't help but marvel at this magnificent building. The scenery here was something he had never seen before in the Badlands.

"This skyscraper was originally the private property of Arasaka Corporation, but LA Corporation invested half of the capital, so it can be considered a shared asset of the two companies."

Jack followed V's gaze and patiently explained to him, "That's how companies work. Even if they seem to be competing and fighting, they still do business when they have to."

"Companies are no different from gangs. They fight to the death for a few bones."

"..."

V nodded calmly. When he was a wanderer in the Badlands, he often heard from the elders in his family how vicious the company was.

But from his feelings these days, he found that LA company did not seem to be what the family elders said, and Li Ang did not seem to be a greedy company executive.

#StanleyRadio: I am your Stanley, and another long day has begun in our city of dreams.

Do you know where all the legendary characters in Night City hang out? Oh, of course, in the cemetery!

Fortunately, in our world, being a hero is not determined by your background, but by whether you can carve out your own path.

This is Night City, this is the city of dreams! #
Stanley's seductive voice came from the car stereo. His brainwashing quotes attracted young people coming and going in Night City day after day and year after year. Jack Wells, who wanted to be the pride of Heywood, and V, who wanted to make a name for himself, also fantasized about their future in Stanley's excited voice.

……

Misty's psychic house in Little Chinatown.

"Mr. Li Ang, you came to Uncle Wei again to do something good. This time you didn't bring any weird mercenaries to perform prosthetic surgery."

Misty supported her smoky-makeup face with one hand and said to Leon half-jokingly.

"Or... have you finally figured it out and are planning to keep up with the times and open a prosthetic interface on your body or something?"

Li Ang smiled and responded, "Why, can't I come to visit the old man? Old Vita would like me, the God of Wealth, to come and take care of his business every day."

"Tsk tsk, I don't believe it. You two have been in there for almost three hours. Even if you are a chatterbox, you can't talk for that long!"

Li Ang did not continue to explain. He came to Lao Wei not just to reminisce about the past, but to discuss AI-related matters with Lao Wei.

In other words, he was teaching Lao Wei some cutting-edge surgical techniques for dealing with AI.

Ever since Arasaka Corporation used the AI ​​Soul Killer to kill senior military technology executives, corporate forces around the world have set off a wave of AI!

Among them, Ye’s Company even publicly stated that it would cooperate with AI Mr. Blue Eyes in the future and work together for the interests of the company.

The network monitoring directly issued a bounty order for the wanted AI. The reward for eliminating a roaming AI is 50 Euros, and the reward for capturing it alive is 80 Euros!

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a sensation among global cyber hackers. They transformed themselves into AI hunters and rushed into cyberspace to hunt AI.

One of the hacker teams called "Plasma Commando" is one of the best.

But hunting AI is not that simple. So far, there are only five or six AIs that have been successfully hunted, while there are hundreds of hackers who have been killed by AI!
In short, research on AI technology has become an area of ​​focus for various corporate forces, and prosthetic doctors like Lao Wei must keep up with the times and learn something about AI-related prosthetic surgery.

"Misty, you look fine. Are you in a relationship recently? You seem to be in a better mood now that you have a lover."

Leon's teasing made Misty blush, and the figure of Jack Wells suddenly appeared in her mind.

"Hehe, so what?" Misty admitted straightforwardly.

"That's good, I wish you happiness."

After he finished speaking, Leon handed a chip to Misty, "This is the new Platinum Member chip of the Trauma Team. It was developed together with our LA company. I have a lot of them."

"I just gave one to Lao Wei, and now I'll give one to you, just to keep both of you safe."

Misty took the chip calmly and smiled at Li Ang: "Thank you, Mr. Li Ang. Do you want me to tell your fortune? I have recently learned the Chinese I Ching divination!"

"Would you like to give it a try?"

Due to the strong rise of LA companies, the cultural atmosphere of the Chinese is profoundly affecting the Watson District and the entire Night City. Even Misty's psychic hut has added the new business of I Ching divination.
