Cyberpunk 2077: Start by Taking Down Adam Smasher

"Speak! Who the hell are you, you jerk?"

"Don't speak again, or don't blame me for putting a hole in your head."

Looking at the two very familiar people in front of him, Alex Carter didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Even the woman with short red and blue hair was holding a gun to his forehead.

He was originally taking advantage of the rare vacation time to relax with the recently released game "Cyberpunk 2077."

He never thought that at the end of the game, as he controlled V to enter cyberspace, the moment the yellow-white light lit up, he also lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he was already lying on a big bed in this hotel room.

And he was restrained by two people who made him feel uneasy.

Jackie Welles and... the female V!

"Ding, welcome host to Night City, the game program is starting."

With a dull electronic synth sound in his mind, a very familiar translucent interface appeared in Alex Carter's field of vision.

It was exactly the i-key system interface from the game!

Alex was overjoyed.

William Weston doesn't deceive me; this is truly a must-have system for transmigration!

However, before he could explore further, he felt a pain in his forehead.

"I'm asking you something!" V said viciously, opening the safety of the pistol.

"V, why is this guy so stupid? Is there something wrong with his implants?" The strong man looked at Alex with a puzzled expression.

"Jackie, we don't have time to waste with this guy of unknown origin. Remember, this is Arasaka's territory!"

Looking at the female V in front of him, the corners of Alex's mouth began to rise uncontrollably.

Her simple and elegant face, without messy piercings and tattoos, her blue pupils, and short red and blue hair were full of heroism and charm.

Wasn't this the female V he had created himself?

For a moment, indescribable intimacy and affection welled up in his heart.

After all, what he liked most in this game and was most uneasy about was the V he controlled.

Even if he had completed all the endings, he couldn't truly save her.

"Laugh? I'll make you laugh out of nowhere!"

Seeing the smile on Alex's face, V raised her hand to pull the trigger.

"Don't shoot in a hurry, I'm here to help you," Alex spread his hands with a smile, indicating that he was not a threat.

"Heh..." Jackie on the side couldn't help laughing when he heard Alex's words.

"Kid, do you know what we're here for?"

What are you here for? Good question.

Looking at their suits and the furnishings of the hotel room, Alex knew in an instant that the plot was advancing to the stage where the two were going to steal the Relic.

He had a vivid memory of this episode.

It was precisely because they stole chips that they happened to witness Yorinobu Arasaka, the heir of the Arasaka Corporation, strangling his father.

That is, the head of the Arasaka company: Saburo Arasaka.

Hence the following series of plots.

Jackie, who was devoted to love and loyalty, died.

The protagonist V was betrayed by the treacherous Dexter and shot in the head, causing the digital personality of Johnny Silverhand in the chip to merge with her.

In order to survive, a series of main quests were initiated.

It can be said that this story is the beginning of the whole game.

It was also the beginning of the whole tragedy.

Of course, all this occurred without Alex's involvement.

Now that he was here, he would never let these tragedies happen again!

Thinking of this, he said with a smile, "Of course I know, you're here to steal the chip in Yorinobu Arasaka's hand... uh?"

"Damn it!"

Jackie covered Alex's mouth, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

If this word got out to others, it would reach Arasaka's ears.

With the reach of the Arasaka company, they definitely wouldn't know how they died!

V's eyes also flickered for a moment before she said, "Someone sold us out, was it that fat Dexter? Or that guy Evelyn?"

Jackie on the side also groaned.

Dexter had introduced this job to V.

If something went wrong, he would feel guilty toward his partner.

Seeing the two fall into silence, Alex pushed Jackie's big hand away, shrugged, and said, "Don't guess, it wasn't them."

"Who are you?" V frowned slightly.

"Ahem, let me introduce myself, my name is Alex Carter," Alex said as he gently poked V's gun with his hand.

"Alex Carter?"

V and Jackie looked at each other, and then their pupils lit up slightly.

Apparently, they were communicating with someone through the prosthetics.

Alex was not surprised by this.

As someone who had been playing for weeks and was familiar with all the plots, he naturally knew that there was a hacker behind them: T-BUG.

Presumably, they were now trying to find a way to investigate his identity.

"My side... I can't find this person's identity information? Could it be that this person has never had a prosthesis installed on his body?"

During the communication, T-BUG's voice was full of disbelief.

Hearing this, V hurriedly looked at Alex's palms and behind his ears.

Where the skin was so smooth.

There was no trace of being modified at all.

"How is this possible?!"

No personal links or neural slots, which for people of this day and age, was as strange as someone living in modern times without a cell phone or identity.

Faced with such a mysterious guy, V's gun once again landed on Alex's head.

"Speak! Who are you, and what do you want to do here?"

Alex smiled helplessly.

However, just when he was about to answer, a voice belonging to the system appeared in his mind again.

"Ding, the super selection system is on."

"Option 1: Steal the Relic chip with V and Jackie Welles, reward: a castrated version of the black light virus."

"Option 2: Get out of business, leave the Chuangbi Building, reward: one billion euros."

"Option 3: Try to notify Arasaka about this, reward: Arasaka's Board of Directors."*
