Chapter 274 Recruiting hackers, unexpected cooperation

It's night in Sasha's apartment.

"Um, um, ah..."

Sasha, sweating profusely and panting, stood up and looked at Li You.

"Where is your mobile phone made? I can't understand its system at all!"

Li You didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say: "Anyway... is there any problem with installing the software?"

Sasha lay back on the hacker chair helplessly and replied: "That's fine. Although I can't understand the internal code of your phone, it has a special entrance for installing functional programs...I'll give it to you now. install."

Several screens in the room alternated between light and dark, and a large amount of data passed by like water, then fell silent again. Sasha took off his information mask and said:

"Okay, the map navigation, local network interface, multi-function language pack... and other programs you need have been installed. Can you take a look?"

Li You picked up the phone: "No, I believe in your skills."

"Of course! My hacking skills are very good!" Sasha raised his head proudly.

This is quite convenient.

he mused.

Mann noticed something very keenly: "What do you mean, do you have someone over there?"

"However, your phone is really powerful. It looks very old, but its performance is exaggeratedly high. I even suspect that after debugging, it can be used to assist in quick intrusion!"

"Hey!" Sasha was a little dissatisfied, "Don't treat me like a child!"

After listening to Mann's explanation, Sasha also frowned slightly and said: "As for other hackers, I do know them, but they are either unable to handle this commission, or they have the ability but can't get away."

"Indeed." Li You nodded, "But, are there more hackers..."

"This function is very convenient, and if you think about it, it's really powerful. But if I summon it in the building, it won't have this effect, right?"

Neither he nor the pedestrians around him noticed anything unusual.

In other words, as long as he scans the corresponding SID card of the car into his mobile phone, he can summon the vehicle anytime and anywhere just like in the game.

Mann was about to cut off the communication as he spoke, but at this moment, Li You suddenly spoke:

"Can I ask, what is the name of the new hacker?"

This earphone-shaped translator from the matte world allows him to understand all systematic languages, but it cannot translate his words to others. So he hadn't used it for a long time since Sekiro World.

"By the way, Sasha." Li You turned to look at Sasha who was taking a swig of water. "Is there any new news about Mann's big job?"

He tested it one last time, and after confirming that the translator could adapt to the newly installed functions, he put away the phone.

"Okay, I know." Li You said, took out his portable translator and put it on his ear.

Hearing her comment, Li You was moved and took notice, but on the surface he just smiled and replied: "That's a pity, I don't understand hacker skills."

Sasha did not answer the call on a personal terminal, but on his mobile phone, so Li You could also hear it.

"But when she went to invite that person, she was rejected by him - he seemed unwilling to join us in dealing with Arasaka.

By the way, he also noticed during the experiment that this smartphone has quite a lot of functions.

"Hmm..." Sasha unconsciously put his index finger on the edge of his lower lip, "I don't know the specific content. Mann only said that he was not ready yet. It seems that more hackers are needed."

But no matter what, Li You has always trusted the powerful performance of the props produced by his own system, so there is no need to worry.

"Right now, we don't have any other suitable candidates, so let me ask you, do you have any connections in this area? As long as you are reliable, the price can be easily negotiated."

"Well, you're right." Li You felt that this little girl was quite cheerful, so he patted her head.

"Humph, then you have to have a good relationship with me, otherwise where will you find such a powerful and reliable hacker in the future?" Sasha curled up the corner of his mouth and joked.

A faint blush appeared on Sasha's face: "No! If you have anything to say, tell me quickly, or I will die!"

If nothing else, Li You discovered that the vehicle summoning function on the phone was exactly the same as in the game.

Sasha didn't think there was anything strange, "Their network protection is exaggeratedly strong. If we can have excellent hackers working together, our chances will indeed be much greater."

"That's true..." Mann didn't sound particularly disappointed, "Okay, that's okay, I'll think of something else."

At this moment, Sasha received a call. She turned around and saw that it was Mann calling.

Li You also tried to park the car far away before summoning, but the result was the same as when he used the wooden mailbox in Tianji Province to summon the Messenger Demon God. Unknowingly, the vehicle appeared on the street, and the autonomous driving came to him. .

"Okay, let's get down to business." Mann laughed and his voice deepened. "As I said before, this mission requires more hackers and elites with professional skills."

“I found a hacker I had worked with several times before and roped her into the team, and that person also knew an excellent hacker who was very suitable for our tasks.

"Hey, Sasha!" Mann greeted, "Where are you? Do you have time now?"

"Although I am also very powerful, don't I have to deal with Arasaka this time?"

There is no restriction that he can only be summoned on the nearest road. As long as he adjusts the settings, he can be summoned even in buildings.

"Hacker?" Li You looked at her and asked knowingly, "Are you not enough?"

"Good hackers are valuable everywhere, and their employers won't be happy to let them take risks."

She replied: "I'm in the apartment. Now...it's okay for now. What's wrong?"

"Oh..." Mann paused, then raised his voice slightly, "Am I disturbing you?"

Sasha glanced at Li You, saw him nodding slightly, and then replied: "Well, Li You and the others are here with me."

However, when sorting out his backpack, Li You unexpectedly discovered that this translator can be connected to his new smartphone, and then it can be used as a smart device.

Mann on the other end of the phone was obviously taken aback: "Li You? Why do you ask this?"

Li You only said: "Actually, I have also heard about some excellent hackers from my friends. I want to see if it is the person you are looking for. If not, maybe you can try here?"

"That's...that's okay." Mann obviously had a little doubt, but still replied, "The new hacker is called Qi Wei. He is an experienced mercenary, introduced by Mr. Faraday. As for her friends, I am not familiar with them either. , I only know her name is Lucy."

--really!

When they met two days ago, Mann mentioned that he was going to find more manpower, and Li You made a guess. Now it is confirmed that what he is looking for is Qi Wei and Lucy!

These two people need no introduction. Qiwei is a hacker on Mann's team, and Lucy is not only an excellent hacker, but also the heroine of the Edgewalker animation.

Judging from her background story, it is not surprising that Lucy is unwilling to get involved in such a commission that may directly confront Arasaka.

"How's it going? Do you know him?" Mann asked on the other end.

"Well...unfortunately, these two are the people I thought of. Since one of them is unwilling to join, there is nothing we can do." Li You replied, "But I do know a few hackers. Maybe you haven't found one yet." Pass them?"

"...Okay, you send me your name and I'll check." Mann obviously didn't have any expectations.

"it is good."

Li You returned the phone to Sasha, and Mann gave a few more instructions before hanging up the phone.

As for the list sent to Mann, Li You thought about it and found that he didn't really have many choices.

Coincidentally, in the Cyberpunk Shadows of the Past DLC, there is also a task that requires him to find the help of an outstanding hacker to crack and obtain certain data.

If the player completes enough side tasks and commissions, there will be a total of five people to contact here.

They are Nicks from Afterlife, Nanchang Xun from Wakako, Carol Emeka from Adekado, Yoko from T-BUG, and Sandra Dorsett.

This task is done very carefully, and different hackers get different data. The best performer among them was the Knicks, and the worst was Nanchang Xun, whom Li You had just met not long ago.

What's interesting is that not only did Nanchangxun get the messiest data, but he was also discovered and injured. Even when you go to get the data, if you don't remind him to run away, he will disappear after a while, and then Wakako will call and scold him.

I can only say that I am a pretty good guy, but my hacker skills are a bit lacking in comparison.

In Li You's case, one must consider whether the hackers are willing to take action. Like Sasha said, this kind of thing is too risky.

The same is true in the game. Players must complete side tasks for the corresponding characters and make them owe themselves a favor before they can invite them. If you just come to your door and say you want to discuss business, they may directly upload a restart prosthetic eye + prosthetic body failure and see you off.

So Li You directly eliminated Carol, who was impossible to help anyway, Sandra, who was extremely vigilant, and Nanchang Xun, who was not quite up to par.

Then even if T-BUG is added, there will only be three people.

As for Lucy, Li You has no good solution. Since he didn't want to, he really couldn't think of any reason that could persuade her to participate in the commission - unless she was threatened with her origin.

But doing this is not in line with Li You's character, and secondly, the probability of Lucy choosing to fight him to the death is much greater than being obedient, so it is really unnecessary.

Li You just sent the list.

Mann's reply also came quickly: "The Knicks are out of business, I've asked about it a long time ago. As for Yoko, she seems to have a lot of business, I don't trust her very much. This last T-BUG... I don't I’ve heard of it too, so go and ask.”

"Good luck."

"Hey, I hope so."

Putting down his phone, Li You thought about what he still needed to prepare, and then planned to go shopping outside.

But Sasha tugged at him: "...want to eat?"

Li You: "?"

Didn’t you just have dinner with Rebecca before you came back?

"Ah, no...I want to say..."

Li You thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I'm planning to take Yuzi and the others out for a walk and buy some things. Do you want to come with me?"

"I'll do it!" Sasha replied without hesitation.

……

Not long after, he was in the largest gun shop in the north of Little Chinatown.

The shopkeeper placed a chip box on the counter and said, "This is the firearm blueprint you want. To be honest, although the production specifications are not a top secret, ordinary people can't get it, let alone take it. Come out and sell it. So you have to get a good price."

Li You looked at the chip box. It was blank, but according to the shop owner, it contained Lexington's production specifications.

He didn't waste much time and asked, "How much is it?"

The shop recommends opening five fingers.

"5000 euros? It's quite reasonable."

"How can you! Fifty thousand, no counter-offer!" The shop owner shook his head vigorously.

Li You: "..."

"Farewell."

He pushed the chip box back, turned around and left.

"Hey, wait, don't leave in a hurry, otherwise 49,900 euros will do..."

After taking Aggie and Sasha out of the gun shop and saying hello to Yuzi who was guarding the car, Li You got into the driver's seat.

Sasha and Aggie also got in the car, and they squeezed into the passenger seat. Colby Lone Peak is a two-seater car. Fortunately, the car is spacious enough that these two people can barely fit in it. "These gun shops are really shady. Just a Lexington blueprint costs 50,000 euros." Li You couldn't help complaining, "Can this kind of business really sell?"

Sasha replied: "Black is indeed dark, but the main reason is that generally only technical people will buy this kind of thing, and such people are relatively rich, or at least willing to spend money to make it to the standard." It’s money, that’s why they dare to pay such a high price.”

"Actually, if Li You want the drawings of these common firearms and general plug-ins, you can also go to Pila."

"Pyrrha? Rebecca's brother?" Aggie asked.

"Yeah! He is a technical expert in our team. Although he has an unpleasant personality, he is still very capable."

Aggie remembered the previous meeting with Pila, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "It is indeed very unpleasant. I really can't imagine that he and Rebecca are actually brother and sister..."

Sasha covered her mouth and smiled: "I understand, I was shocked when I first heard about it. Do you hate him so much?"

Aggie shook his head: "That guy has such a frivolous temper. I always feel that he will get into conflicts with passers-by over trivial matters, and then get his head blown off in a daze."

"What, it's so scary." Sasha just thought it was a joke and didn't take it to heart.

Li You on the side: Good guy, great prophecy.

But then again, he hadn't thought of it before. Pyrrha was a technical geek, so she should indeed have these things. It seemed like she could talk to him. only…

It's just that Li You is actually not very good at dealing with people with Pila's personality.

"Anyway, let's go get something to eat." Li You said, "I'm really hungry after walking around for so long."

Sasha immediately said: "Ah, let's go to the Turbo Bar! There are vendors by the river at night, and there is a sister who makes something that I think is delicious."

"Oh?" Li You didn't pay attention to this kind of roadside stall where he couldn't shop when he was playing games, but he didn't mind giving it a try. Anyway, his requirements for Night City food were at a minimum.

"Then go ahead."

It's not far from the bar. Li You drove through the colorful lights of Night City and arrived at the riverside.

Sasha pulled Aiji out of the car and quickly found the stall: "Li You! Here!"

As she said that, she gestured to the stall owner: "I want four...no, five servings!"

"Okay." The stall owner is a young Asian woman. She is not beautiful, but her eyebrows are very gentle, making it easy for people to feel close to her.

"Wait a moment, there is another guest in front."

Sasha and Aggie stood in front of the stall waiting, Yuzu leaned on the railing on the side and looked at the scenery.

Li You walked to the stall and looked at the food sold by the stall owner. He found that it was some kind of dish similar to stinky tofu, but it didn't have such a pungent smell.

"There is still such food in Night City."

He originally wanted to chat with the stall owner, but when he turned his head, he saw the "previous customer" leaning on the edge of the railing.

Short white hair with a hint of rainbow light flashed before his eyes, and a tight-fitting black jumpsuit and a sleeved white short jacket that exposed her waist outlined her stunning figure.

The attractive-looking girl came to the stall and took the packaging bag handed over by the stall owner.

"Thank you." Her voice was cold and sweet, but also revealed a hint of indifference.

“Come again next time~”

The girl didn't pay attention to the eyes of the people around her and turned around to leave.

"Li You——!"

Sasha's shout brought Li You's attention back to his eyes.

"What are you looking at!" Sasha stared at Li You's face, her cheeks bulging with anger, "Is she that pretty?"

Li You waved his hand: "No, you misunderstood. That person just now is Qi Wei's friend, Lucy, whom Mann mentioned."

Sasha was stunned: "Is it her?"

"Well, I was thinking about asking her just now, but we didn't know each other, so I didn't ask her."

"Yeah..." Sasha glanced at Lucy's striking back again, as if he wanted to say something, but then his expression suddenly changed, "Wait, is that...!?"

"Boom——!!"

Before she finished speaking, there was an explosion on the street not far away!

A luxury car on the street was suddenly engulfed in flames, and pieces of debris were shot in all directions with an explosion!

"careful!"

Li You pulled Sasha over and protected her behind him. Yuzi reacted faster and had already stood in front of Li You and the other three, waving his hand to push away a few pieces of debris.

On the other side, Lucy, who had not gone far, was also affected, but her movements were also very agile. She dodged the flying debris with a roll, and rolled over to hide behind the railing.

On the street, a thin, middle-aged Mediterranean man with a distorted face was holding a Saratoga submachine gun produced by military technology in one hand, and took out a fragmentation grenade in the other hand. He smiled strangely, stuffed it and it was still burning. in a luxury car!

"boom--!!"

This time, the luxury car was completely engulfed in flames, and the people who were sitting in the car gradually turned into charcoal amid the screams.

The man who did all this was still smiling strangely, and seemed to have no intention of stopping. Instead, he pointed his gun at the pedestrians on the roadside who had not had time to escape.

"NCPD——!! Put down the weapon..."

"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!!"

Two patrol officers on the street heard the sound and rushed over, but before they could even finish their fixed lines, they were shot to pieces by the man with a string of bullets.

The siren sounded immediately.

"Attention all police officers in the area: We have received a report of a crime on Japan Street. The suspect is unstable and two police officers have been killed. Personnel in all units should pay attention to safety."

On the street nearby, Li You and his group also hid on the stairs going down by the river. It was not the best idea to fight a cyberpsycho in the open area.

“Didi dididi——”

"Li You, it's me, Regina." A familiar voice came from the earphones, "I just received news that a suspected cyberpsychotic attack occurred near Japan Street Turbo Bar. I want you to Go check it out.”

"You are well-informed." Li You complained, "It is indeed cyberpsychosis, because I happened to be right next to him."

Regina on the opposite side was silent for a moment, and then said: "In that case, then you try to subdue him as soon as possible. I will have my people on standby at any time. The attack happened on the street. If it is not done quickly, violent terrorist attacks will occur." The team is coming."

"That's easy to say." Li You didn't complain and immediately started to deal with it.

"Yuzu, Aggie, it's still the same old tactics!"

"clear."

"Sasha, can you upload a weapon or prosthetic malfunction to him?"

"It's a bit difficult. The prosthetics on him are all military grade. I need some time!"

Li You held the knife at his waist: "Then..."

"I'm here to help."

A cold voice sounded, and Li You turned his head, only to see Lucy approaching silently.

Facing Li You's slightly confused look, she said concisely: "NCPD has sealed off the block here. No one can get out until the problem is solved."

"You are mercenaries too, right. Little sister, are you a hacker? Let me help you control that guy."

"I'm not young!" Sasha pouted, a little dissatisfied, but did not lose his temper at this time, "Come on then, don't hold back!"

"Ah."

Lucy didn't reply at all, she just connected to the communication channel, then poked her head out of the stairs and looked at the cyberpsycho who was making a big fuss on the street.

Not to be outdone, Sasha also locked onto the man.

The man was walking back and forth on the street, fighting fiercely with the NCPD who kept coming.

He walked sideways like a crab, his movements were funny, but he was so fast that he really dodged most of the bullets. As for the remaining ones, they all bounced away when they hit his subcutaneous armor.

Soon, he slaughtered all the police officers who came to support him.

After there was no one to kill, the man turned his head and looked at the stairwell where pedestrians were hiding.

"There are two seconds until the upload is complete...one second...now! Do it!"

Lucy shouted in the communication channel. She and Sasha's quick crack took effect almost at the same time. The man's movements suddenly stopped, and the prosthetic body on his body and the submachine gun in his hand all emitted electric sparks and began to "sizzle". .

Li You rushed out without hesitation, unsheathed his samurai sword, and slashed at Cyber ​​Psycho's arm like a flash of light!

Regina always asked to keep people alive, but Li You didn't care much, but he still didn't kill her immediately.

Just lose the limbs.

"Shh-!"

Suffering from weapon malfunction and prosthetic malfunction at the same time, even though the man was a cyberpsychotic man covered in military prosthetic body, he was unable to resist. The right arm of the prosthetic body was severed by Li You and flew straight into the sky!

The man staggered back, but still had a maniacal smile on his face. He looked at Li You, and a mantis knife suddenly popped out from his left arm and rushed towards Li You quickly!

"Be careful! Part of his prosthetic body has been restored!" Sasha's voice came from the communication channel.

Li You originally wanted to fight it off with his sword, but the mantis sword was just a cold weapon, so he was not afraid of fighting hand-to-hand.

However, this man's reaction was much faster than that of another cyberpsycho that Li You had seen before. His prosthetic body flashed, and his movements accelerated instantly. The mantis knife was like lightning, piercing Li You's face!

Sean Westan!

"clang--!!"

The sound of blacksmithing that he had not heard for a long time rang out, and Li You still accurately deflected the man's mantis sword, and the strength attached to it made him take a step back. The man looked up at Li You, with a trace of doubt in his eyes full of madness.

But then, he rushed towards Li You again without hesitation!

"Roar--!!"

However, at this moment, a roar rang out, Yuzi rushed out from the side at high speed, and crashed directly into the man!

The man who was already cyberpsychotic was also startled, and instinctively wanted to avoid it, but as a burst of electricity pulsed in his body, the prosthetic body of his legs became uncontrollable again.

——Quick crack: Impede movement, uploaded by Lucy.

The man wanted to roar, but Yuzu had already fit in and hit him!

"Boom--!"

The man flew backwards and slammed into the NCPD police car on the side of the road, causing a deep dent in the car door.

Li You stepped forward, swung his knife and separated the man's left arm and leg prostheses from his body, and then used voice control to light up the hung call.

"...Hello, Regina? I've restrained the man. Send someone over quickly. NCPD won't wait for anyone."

"Understood, my man is nearby, he will... go to hell!" Regina suddenly cursed, "Li You, stay away first!"

"The Terrorist Mobile Team has arrived!"
