Chapter 96 No one can get the LA company for free!

"So...when will V be able to separate from Johnny?"

At this time, Ott Cunningham asked the question that V was most concerned about: unless it was absolutely necessary, who would be willing to let a stranger live in their brain.

Sure enough, as soon as Ultra asked this question, V looked at Leon expectantly. As long as she didn't have to wait for a lifetime, even ten or eight years would be fine!

If that doesn't work, you can wait for twenty years.

In short, V doesn't want to stay with Johnny Silverhand and chat and argue with him all the time, fighting for control of his body every day.

"The exact time for when you two can separate is not up to me, but Ott Cunningham."

Leon turned his head and looked at Otto, and said:

"The AI ​​White Queen evolves by devouring data and interacting with other AIs. If you want the White Queen to be able to split the consciousness of two people, she will have to evolve once or twice."

After saying that, Li Ang secretly opened the system panel and looked at the attribute column of the AI ​​White Queen.

[AI White Queen Information Panel:
Level 3 - Three AI clones can coexist at the same time, and real-time data sharing can be achieved regardless of device limitations and spatial distance!

AI White Queen's current location: AI No. 1 (LA company headquarters), AI No. 2 (cyberspace - edge of black wall), AI No. 3 (Chapter 6 prosthesis)
Data information processing is further enhanced, and data processing and data optimization functions can be performed according to instructions. 】

……

At present, the AI ​​White Queen is still a long way from being upgraded to level 4. The breeder Ott Cunningham will have to work harder to have hope of feeding the White Queen to level 4.

"Ultra, V is now temporarily acting as Johnny's soul container. When Johnny can come back depends on your performance."

Leon's words were clearly aimed at Ultraman. If he wanted Johnny Silverhand to come back to life as soon as possible, he would have to capture more roving AIs to feed the White Queen.

As Arasaka's Soul Killer Project shocked corporate executives around the world, more and more corporate and private hackers flocked to cyberspace to capture roaming AI.

People die for money and birds die for food. The huge profits drive countless hackers to continue to rush forward. Even at the risk of being killed by roaming AI, countless hackers still regard it as a new gold rush.

Because as time goes on, the less dangerous AIs become rarer, and the only ones left are highly dangerous roaming AIs!
So you have to get rich early. If you enter the market too late, you won’t even be able to drink the hot leftover soup.

"Yes, I understand."

Ott nodded, her expression became heavier than ever before. It seemed that the roaming AIs at the edge of the black wall were not enough for her to catch. If she wanted to catch more, she would have to go through the black wall!

In fact, Ultra is not the only professional AI hunter in cyberspace. There are also the Plasma Commandos and the hacker code-named "Lark", who are all very powerful hackers.

The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish. If you want to get more, you have to take risks that others dare not take.

"Otto, I understand your difficulties. You know very little about the AI ​​White Queen, so from now on, I will give you some permissions to help you use the AI ​​White Queen to better capture roaming AIs."

"Now you can enter the White Queen's independent data storage space and let it take you through the Black Wall safely and freely to capture the roaming AI on the other side of the wall."

"If you are in danger, the White Queen can still take you back to a safe place quickly, so you don't need to put yourself in danger."

"All you have to do is capture low-level roving AIs and avoid high-level dangerous AIs."

Li Ang knew exactly what Ultra was worried about. Going through the black wall to capture the roaming AI was a very dangerous deep dive. Facing all kinds of unknown digital life, any normal person would feel scared.

For a hacker expert like Lucy, the mere mention of the black wall will trigger an immediate stress response. Having come into contact with the black wall so many times, she has developed severe post-traumatic stress disorder from the AI ​​on the other side of the wall.

"Thank you, Mr. Leon. I will iterate and evolve the White Queen as soon as possible." Otto said gratefully.

With this technical guarantee, she can continue to dive deep into cyberspace with peace of mind.

"Otto, you go out first, and leave V and I here to talk." Leon nodded to Otto.

"Yes."

Immediately, after taking a look at V, Ott Cunningham turned around and left the office, leaving only Leon and V in the huge living room.

"V, we've finished talking about how to save you, now it's time to talk about how you're going to pay the chips."

Li Ang never intended to let V get anything for free from him. Even though he had Johnny's consciousness data in his body, he had to abide by the basic company rule of "equivalent exchange".

No one can get the resources of LA companies for free!
What's more, the value of a life cannot be bought with money. V is using the top operating system prosthesis and the strategic company resource AI White Queen!
If these two things were put on the market, they would be worthless. If they were sold to President Miles, he would at least be able to become the governor.

If it weren't for the fact that V was really suitable for wearing this prosthetic device, Leon would have been reluctant to put the White Queen into V's brain.

"Mr. Leon, I understand your rules."

V nodded seriously and said, "From now on, my life belongs to LA Company. I can do any dangerous mission for you."

"You can ask any middleman about my reputation in Night City. I dare to take jobs that others dare not take, and I dare to save people that others dare not save."

"Anyway, I don't choose my job!"

Although V had a bad impression of LA company before, he mistakenly thought that this company was no different from other companies, and that they were all giant companies that grew by sucking the blood and sweat of the people.

But after observing for a period of time, V discovered that LA Corporation was indeed different from Arasaka and Militech, at least it was not as bad as them.

The most important thing is that now only LA company can save his life, this is very important!

"V, I'm glad you said that, because you are indeed a rare genius."

Leon smiled. It would be a shame to tie up a top Cyber ​​Megatron mercenary like V to his side all day and make him an ordinary bodyguard.

This is simply a serious waste of resources.

It’s better to let it out and challenge other companies!
"But your current identity is a bit sensitive to LA Company, because Arasaka Yorinobu is eliminating the negative impact of Saburo's death, so it is not appropriate for you to appear as an employee of LA Company."

"You should just do the same as before and pretend that you have never been to the Blue Bi Building. Most of the people who knew about this have been silenced. The rest depends on how well you and Jack keep their mouths shut."

"Anyway, don't tell anyone about your visit to the Blue Bi Building. If anyone asks, don't admit it, even if you're beaten to death."

"Understand?"
