Chapter 67: Become an unknown person or go down in history!

"Hello, V," DeShawn began.

"Mr. DeShawn, seeing is believing."

V also greeted the other party and exchanged pleasantries.

DeShawn leaned against the car window, looking at V as if he were examining a commodity, and then he slowly spoke:

"V, would you rather be a nobody, live a quiet life, and die in bed with a catheter inserted? Or would you rather leave your name in history even if you don't live to be thirty?"

This sentence made V feel a strong sense of destiny. He seemed to be standing at the crossroads of fate, choosing an unknown destiny.

V did not answer DeShawn directly, but asked him back: "Why do you ask that? It sounds like I'm going to die."

"Haha, it's not that exaggerated."

DeShawn was amused by V's reaction. He had heard that there was a new mercenary named V in Night City who was bold and careful and dared to take any job. But this time, it seemed that he did not live up to his reputation.

Today, V looked like he was going to quit and give up, which was not okay. DeShawn knew he had to deliberately provoke V.

Just two months ago, Haitian hackers from the Pacific Voodoo Gang found Deshaun, gave him a considerable reward as a commission, and asked him to find someone to steal the Relic chip from Arasaka Corporation.

This group of Haitian hackers was quite generous and the compensation they offered was so high that it was no exaggeration to say it was astronomical, which forced him to seriously consider the other party's task requirements.

After this deal is done, Dexter Deshawn will be able to completely retire from the criminal world, buy a cigar estate in Cuba, and become a wealthy man.

No one would think that they have too much money. Even if the Voodoo Gang is notorious, as long as it is profitable, it is worth a try.

As for why those hackers from the Voodoo Gang wanted to steal the chips from Arasaka Corporation, that was none of his business. He was only responsible for delivering the goods and getting the money, and he didn't bother to take care of the rest.

And V is the chosen one carefully selected by DeShawn.

After all, this guy is really willing to risk his life. Among the intermediaries in Night City, he can be regarded as a top-notch mercenary candidate.

"V, I'm just asking a philosophical question. Before I ask someone to do something, I always habitually want to know whether this person is reliable or not, so that I can safely entrust the task to him."

DeShawn spoke to V as he smoked a cigar that was emitting puffs of smoke.

'Aren't you just trying to test me...' V was a little speechless, but he still wanted to understand this job, after all, it was related to Jack's ideal.

As Jack's good brother, V didn't want to let Jack down.

"Whether I am reliable or not, other middlemen in Night City have the most say. You can take some time to find out the value of our golden signboard."

DeShawn smiled and nodded, this sentence was a bit more satisfying.

"Well, I believe you have the ability, because they all say you are the famous V, a Night City devil who does whatever he wants."

"But what you have to do this time is to steal a biochip from Arasaka Corporation."

"So V, do you have the guts?"

The way DeShawn examined V was just like the question he had just asked: did he want to be a legend who died young or be an ordinary person who lived to be a hundred years old.

"Make a choice quickly, V."

"A legendary life is beckoning to both of you."

V: “…”…

Little Chinatown, LA corporate headquarters.

[Level 6 Task: Unlock the Second Giant Enterprise Template]

[Status: Completed]

[Task Reward: 100 billion Euros, 1 million Enterprise Coins, 10 roulette draw opportunities (the probability of winnings from the prize pool has been increased!)]

【…】

"I have finally saved enough to exchange for Kangtao's corporate currency."

Li Ang said with emotion.

Just half an hour ago, he spent hundreds of billions of corporate coins at one time to unlock the template of Kangtao Company, and incorporated all technological devices such as smart weapons and smart robots into the LA company!
As the latest giant corporate force to appear in the world view of Cyberpunk 2077, Kangtao's intelligent devices are unique in the world. This company has even transformed China into a fully intelligent country.

Smart subways, roads, cars, airports and other public buildings are all equipped with Kangtao’s smart devices!

The reason why Li Ang wanted to exchange the Kangtao Company template first was not only to expand LA Company's weapons reserves, but also to make a good layout in the Far East.

Today, LA has acquired a military factory in Shenyang, China, and renamed it Kangtao Company, which is managed by a retired colonel, Xu Shiming.

What Li Ang needs to do is to dump smart weapons into the Chinese region!
Of course, it is not easy to do this.

Kangtao Company, represented by Xu Shiming, is the chess piece placed by Li Ang on the Far East chessboard.

Only by taking over China, the real base, will LA be qualified to compete with top forces like Su Petrochemical and the European Community!
"Umbrella Corporation, Titan Corporation, Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation (IMC), Weyland Yugu Corporation, Aperture Technology, Lobotomy Corporation, Universal Corporation..."

Li Ang looked at these giant enterprise templates that were waiting for him to unlock and activate, thinking about something.

As the level of completed system tasks becomes higher and higher, the number of corporate coins in the panel increases, and the number of giant enterprise templates open to him also gradually increases.

However, the corporate currency required for these companies is also quite large. Li Ang, who has just used up all his corporate currency, cannot unlock the subsequent giant enterprise templates for the time being.

This is normal. The more technological points a company has, and the more powerful its products are, the more corporate coins it will need to consume.

For a giant enterprise like IMC that spans the stars and engages in interstellar colonization, it would require corporate coins worth at least trillions!
According to the current most ideal profit status of LA company, it will take Li Ang at least two and a half years to barely save up one trillion corporate coins.

However, for Le Ang now, what he needs is not the god-level technological power that can destroy a star in one second, but technological products suitable for the cyberpunk world.

After all, his LA company has to sell things and products in order to get a steady stream of corporate currency.

If all people died and there was no room for sustainable development, what would he be interested in?

Power armor devices, genetic drugs, AI, biotechnology, orbital technology, etc., these are the technologies that Le Ang urgently needs!
"Now that things have come to this, let's draw a prize first."

With the ten consecutive draws that Li Ang has accumulated now, he can draw things from other worlds from the level 6 prize pool, and the gold yield rate has been greatly improved!

This means that he can use the technology points from other worlds to help LA quickly close the gap with other companies.

'Lottery, start!'

The lottery panel on the system spun quickly, and soon the items for this ten-draw draw appeared. This time, two "Golden Legends" were drawn!
