Chapter 27 Evil Plan To Make Big Money!

Speaking of business, Arthur immediately became excited."I'm telling you, there's really no comparison between suppressors and inhibitors!"When Lucy heard this, she couldn't help but check the information Arthur sent to her again.After thinking for a while, she said: "Compared with the suppressor, the suppressor is indeed much worse.Not only does it have to be injected into your body, , and it must be done regularly and quantitatively, and it is easy to develop drug resistance."Arthur was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then looked at Lucy in surprise and said, "Who told you this? It's obvious that inhibitors are better, right? Look at inhibitors, they can be sold repeatedly.As long as that person is alive, he must keep buying it, whereas the suppressor can only make money once!"After listening to Arthur's words, Lucy fell silent and silently lit one for herself. Arthur snatched the cigarette away before she could take a puff. Lucy didn't pay attention, and then lit another one for herself. .Is this the world of capitalists?Sure enough, it's not unreasonable for those people to get rich. I only thought about which one was better, but I didn't think about which one was more profitable.Arthur took a sip of the strawberry flavor in his mouth, and then continued: "I need your help to optimize this program. It can't be said to be inferior, but to add a few more lines of code to it.""First, we need to reduce the performance of this chip to 50%, and then connect the chip to the Internet and build in a large number of advertisements.""Finally, we sell chips at a 20% increase in cost price. After an ordinary person buys our chips, he must spare an hour every day to watch our ads. If he doesn't want to watch ordinary ads, he must open a membership. ."Lucy was silent after hearing this, but considering that it was only a 20% increase in cost price, this did not seem unacceptable.If you open another membership, it seems to be acceptable based on the cost estimate. After all, this is something you pay once and enjoy for life."Then if I become a member, do I no longer need to watch advertisements?""Are you kidding? They don't watch ads, how can we make money? Of course ordinary members watch selected ads!"Arthur immediately refuted Lucy's words, sorted out his thoughts, and continued: "We divide members into several levels, first ordinary members, then black iron members, bronze members, silver members and the most distinguished gold members. ""By signing up as a regular member, the one-hour advertising time will be shortened to 5 minutes, and our selected ads will be played within these 5 minutes.""Signing up as a Black Iron Member means saying goodbye to advertising. As a Bronze Member, the performance can be increased by 10%. As a Silver Member, the performance can be increased by another 10%. Finally, as a Gold Member, the performance can be increased by 30% to reach full power!"The more Arthur talked, the more excited he became. Finally, he waved his hand and parked the car next to his destination. He looked at Lucy and said, "As long as I operate like this, the ability of my inhibitor chip to make money will be far greater than that of the inhibitor." !""It won't be long before I move out of Santo Domingo, move into a skyscraper in the city center, become the CEO of a listed company, marry many beauties, and reach the pinnacle of my life. I'm a little excited just thinking about it."Lucy sat stunned and fell completely silent.Damn, what on earth did she hear just now?What an evil plan this is, it actually covers everyone in Night City.According to this plan, almost everyone will contribute money to Arthur except those who will not buy the suppressor.He not only wants to make money from rich people, he also wants to make money from poor people.That was aimed at stripping the entire Night City of its wool.Lucy had a hunch that the bastard sitting next to her would soon become an excellent company dog.Because the other party's ability to be shameless in order to make money is what many corporate dogs dream of. The most important thing is that his brain is still good.Lucy lit a cigarette for herself again, avoiding Arthur's hand that wanted to snatch it, and threw the cigarette case in her hand to Arthur."Hiss, every pore of your head to toe is dripping with blood and dirty things!"Lucy took a deep breath, and then couldn't help but say something.Arthur didn't care. He took out a cigarette from Lucy's cigarette case and stuffed it into his mouth. He looked at the cigarette case and put it back into his arms without any intention of returning it."Compared with those big companies, Chengzhengzheng, I am nothing more than a child.""So you don't want to help?"Arthur felt that Lucy might still retain a little bit of humanity and didn't want to be involved in his plan to harvest the entire city.Unexpectedly, Lucy took a puff of cigarette and then said: "No, I just want to ask if your company is still short of funds? Do you accept shares?""Then I'm a bit sorry. I don't have the idea of ​​asking others to buy shares for the time being, but I can hire you as the chief network consultant. I think that after my chips go on sale, many people will definitely want to crack my chips. , get rid of those damn ads."Arthur shrugged, then opened the car door and walked out and began to look at the surrounding environment. As soon as he got out of the car, he found a few black guys looking around here not far away.You don't need to think about it to know that these people must have come here to gather information.After all, even a cybermaniac in Night City would not go to Taipingzhou to look at the Pacific Ocean with nothing to do.Arthur smoked a cigarette, looked at the factory building in front of him that was covered with Night City's characteristic graffiti, and shook his head.Suddenly, Arthur felt that he should contact his fellow patient and ask him if he knew where the agent who introduced him to buy the house was?After all, it is rare to see such an awesome agent, who can actually sell a house in Taiping Prefecture to a cyberpunk in the City of Industry.This is simply more awesome than the super invincible spiral whirlwind small steel cannon that the patient brother has that follows the wind.Lucy got out of the car, looked at the surrounding environment, and Xiao Hei who was looking here in the distance, and said to Arthur: "Are you sure you want to open a factory here? The people in the Voodoo Gang are not good. Deal."In fact, this is true. The members of the Voodoo Gang are basically refugees who ran away from the same island.So they have natural hostility and rejection towards other people.To put it bluntly, if you are not a refugee who ran away from that island, then you will never be able to reach a cooperative relationship with them.Unless you want to be a dirty and smelly foot rag that will be thrown away after use.

Chapter 28 Get Together!

"Don't say that. I'm old friends with the Voodoo Gang. I often mingle with them.""So they should be happy that I have become their new neighbor. Maybe someone will come over and give us a warm welcome later."Arthur waved his hand nonchalantly and claimed that he had a good relationship with the Voodoo Gang.What's more, Arthur felt that the Voodoo Gang was not full of food and would mess with him when he had nothing to do. Although he had not appeared in Night City for a long time, he used the Voodoo Gang's methods to find out his true identity. It's just a matter of time.Under this situation, Arthur doesn't think the Voodoo Gang will fight with him.After all, he came here to increase employment in Taipingzhou, not to grab territory.How could anyone in the world take the money that was delivered to them..."Bang bang bang...""boom!!!"Just when Arthur, I thought you were thinking, there were suddenly several gunshots, followed by the sound of rifles firing wildly and machine guns firing wildly.Someone even threw a grenade at Arthur, which exploded directly.Arthur pulled Lucy and hurriedly squatted next to the Sword in the Stone, hoping that the super car next to him could help him support it.Lucy stared at Arthur with trembling hands and said, "This is truly an unprecedented warm welcome!"Now Lucy only felt that she had believed Arthur's shoes. Good guy, they were still in harmony, in a physical sense. Otherwise, how could they have just taken out grenades and rifles to shoot at Taipingzhou?For a moment, Lucy couldn't figure out what the hell Arthur had done in Night City to make the Voodoo Gang hate him for so long.You must know that there is no life-or-death hatred in Night City.I kill you today, and you kill me tomorrow, which connects the blood together in a physical sense.So everyone is actually very peaceful and very open-minded, and there is never any hatred that can last for more than ten years.Come on, it's 2076, how can you have such a big revenge thought... That's not right, there seems to be one over there in Arasaka.Lucy took out a pistol from her waist and fired two shots casually in that direction as a sign of retaliation.She is just a hacker, how could she possibly fight with these people? She worked in logistics before.Besides, this is the territory of the Voodoo Gang. Compared with the strength of hackers, the Voodoo Gang is stronger.After all, they have the home field advantage. Except for a certain big guy, everyone is a hacker, and they also have their own independent network Poseidon.Arthur took a deep drag on his cigarette and threw the cigarette butt hard on the ground."Zhuo, didn't you blow up their server in the first place? These stingy guys actually remembered it for so long!"Just when Arthur was complaining that Lucy didn't even know what to say, Arthur's eyes suddenly lit up and someone called in."Hey, damn Arthur, I didn't expect you to be able to crawl out of hell. How about the reception feast I prepared for you?"As soon as Arthur heard this voice, he immediately dug out this woman's information from the trash heap of his memory."You damn old woman! Didn't I just blow up a server of yours? It's been more than 10 years, and you still remember it now?""I'm telling you, I'm here to discuss cooperation with you and bring a future to Taipingzhou! Can't you forgive me just once?""And it's very rude for you to treat a business partner like this!!! I think I have to think carefully about whether it is necessary to put my factory here!"When the woman opposite heard Arthur's words, she was completely stunned. Then she complained crazily and said, "Aren't you a cyberpunk? You still want to be a corporate dog. You have really fallen.""Depraved people should go to hell! As for the last time you blew up my server, how could I possibly forgive you! Your grenade stopped Poseidon from working for three months. You know what happened during these three months? How many of my brothers have died?""As for whether I forgive you or not, that is God's business. My mission is to send you to see God. I wish you good luck, you stinky piece of shit that God fished out!"The next moment, before Arthur could speak back, the phone was hung up completely."Maman, this stinky bitch, really holds a grudge. Didn't she just stop for three months? She hasn't completely eliminated the Voodoo Gang. What's more, they were at fault in the first place. Who told them to treat me like a rag to wipe their feet?! "Just when Arthur was talking, Lucy had already finished shooting a magazine and was replacing her own magazine.After hearing Arthur's words, she immediately complained: "You'd better think of a solution quickly, otherwise Today you and I are going to die together, and I don't want to be buried with a pervert like you."When Arthur heard these words, he immediately stopped: "Why, why don't you feel wronged by being buried together with me? You are a psycho, and I am also a psycho. It would be perfect for two psychos to be buried together." !""But don't worry, support will be here soon!"Arthur quickly made a call, and the person on the other end answered the call extremely quickly."Hello, this is the NCPD hotline, what can I do?""Oh, I want to call the police! I was attacked in Taipingzhou, and someone wanted to seize my private property! According to Ye Cheng's law, Ye Cheng's NCPD is obliged to ensure my safety!""...""Hello? Hello? Why don't you talk? I tell you, you can't pretend to be dead! My asset number in Taipingzhou is S***9527B! I told you about this property, but I asked me to I have paid a huge amount of tax, if you can't guarantee my safety, then I can only apply for a tax refund!""...Hold on!"The professional receptionist on the other side became unusually silent. After Arthur threatened to get a tax refund, he finally reacted and started to inquire whether such a thing was happening.This was the first time that he actually called the NCPD after hearing that someone was attacked in Taipingzhou.And when did Taipingzhou ever pay taxes?Who doesn't know that Taipingzhou is a place where you don't have to pay taxes?He felt that the person who called today was simply out of his mind.But when he entered the asset number into Night City's system, he discovered that there really was such a strange person paying taxes in Taiping Continent.And I have been teaching for more than ten years, and I have never stopped, and there is no tax avoidance behavior at all. Even if the mayor of Night City comes over, he will shed tears when he sees it.Where can I find such a five-star good citizen?"Hello? Have you checked it out? Come here quickly. If you don't come here, I will be dead. I'm telling you, there are more than a dozen cyberpsychotics on the other side! They sent the Terrorist Mobile Team over here, hurry up!""Well, sir, I have to report this matter so that my superiors can make a decision!""Then hurry up, if you come here later, I will turn into a ball of meat!"

Chapter 29 Is There Anything Wrong With Finding Ncpd?

The operator quickly hung up the phone, then hurriedly took some documents and ran to the NCPD director's office."The director has a case that you may need to handle personally."When the director heard this, he scratched his hairless head, which showed that he was a fairly good official.After all, given the public security situation in Night City, it is normal for him to lose his hair and become bald. If there is no hair loss, it means that he is not worried about the situation in Night City.The director picked up the file and looked at it for a while, then looked at the operator in disbelief. After seeing the operator nodding towards him, he scratched the back of his head.He almost pulled out all the few remaining treasures he had."You mean he finally said that there were several cyberpsychotics over there in Taipingzhou who were attacking him, right?""Yes, Director.""Damn it! The current cyber psychosis is so rampant that it dares to attack our taxpayers in broad daylight. Let the gang of violent terrorist mobile units go over and deal with this matter quickly!""Okay Director, I'll go do it now..."The operator was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he quickly nodded and prepared to go out and notify the people of the Terrorist Mobile Team to prepare for action.He couldn't understand why his chief suddenly became so talkative and protected taxpayers. When had their NCPD personnel ever protected taxpayers?Don't they all drink a cup of coffee directly from work to get off work?Moreover, the other party is still in Taiping Continent, which is a dangerous area. No one is willing to go there, not even those crazy people from Cyber ​​Psychosis.Just as he was about to leave the office, his director called him out directly."Wait...by the way, let me deal with the person who called the police!"Are you kidding? NCPD is a private company, and taxpayers have nothing to do with their private company.But according to the contract, their company had to deal with this very troublesome matter. This time the matter was easy to solve, but what about the next time, and the next time.So if it's difficult to solve, just don't do it. It won't solve the problem. Solving the problem together with the person who raised the problem won't do anything. You can still sleep as sweetly as before tonight.Anyway, the Director estimates that the person who has been able to pay taxes to Night City for more than ten years in Taipingzhou has some problems with his brain.No one will believe him even if he says he is not a cyberpsychopath.Let the people from the Terrorist Mobile Team deal with it.There seems to be nothing wrong with it."...yes!"On the other side, Arthur had just hung up the phone, and Lucy couldn't help but complain: "You, a cyberpunk, call the police when something happens?"Arthur took out a pistol from his waist and pointed it outside, firing two shots casually as a deterrent."Is there any problem? I pay taxes. Isn't it normal to contact the NCPD if there is a problem?""..."Lucy suddenly felt speechless, because Arthur's logical chain seemed quite correct.But anyone who has been around Night City knows that there is a problem, and if the NCPD can solve the problem, then it is true that a sow can climb a tree."Don't worry, I have an old acquaintance there, and she will definitely come over to help me solve the problem!"Lucy looked at Arthur with a complicated expression. She didn't know whether to believe Arthur for a moment.Because Arthur always speaks strangely, you may think that what he tells is a lie, but in fact, what he tells seems to be the truth, but he just conceals some information.You might say that what he said was true, but in fact it was a lie, because that statement had no credibility at all."Zhuo, next time I go out with you to perform a mission or help you with something, I will be a dog!!!""Bang bang bang!!!"Arthur didn't want to listen to Lucy's words. He picked up the gun and turned on the time delay. Then he stood up and fired three shots at the three unlucky guys in the distance. After seeing the blood spattering effect, Arthur squatted down again. He came down and turned off his prosthetic body.In fact, Arthur alone could eliminate all the Voodoo Gang members present.But, if someone is willing to do something for you, why do you have to do it yourself?Although cyberpsychosis is cured now, he will get sick again if he kills too many people.Arthur didn't want to go back to that state of confusion.Besides, if you massacre so many people at once, you will definitely be regarded as a cyber psychopath by others, even if it is a gang fight.At that time, it will no longer be the voodoo gang chasing you, but Melissa. The other party will definitely want to use the 2016 mantis knife in his hand - Higurashi, to feel his muscles. strength and tendon flexibility."Arthur, you can't run away! While everyone still has some dignity, come out and surrender quickly, otherwise, I will let you see your head being stuffed into the anus!!!"When Arthur heard the voice, he didn't even need to look up to know who was shouting at him in the distance.He is nothing more than Maman's henchman, one of the few men in the Voodoo Gang who exercises his body, and his name is Placid.It's a little black guy with a strong build. Oh no, this kind of figure should be called a big black guy. Considering his age, it's normal for him to be called a big black guy.Although it was nice to see old friends in Night City, Arthur wanted to see Placid in Hell.Because the cooperation between him and Maman was actually smooth at first, but Placid stepped in and forced him to blow up the Voodoo Gang's server.To put it simply, Maman and Placid are actually the same kind of people, but they gradually hide deeper.For her own purposes, she is often able to hide certain things, and can even tolerate certain things, but Placid The big stupid guy like De was different.Not only could he not hide it, he couldn't stand it either."Placide, I heard that you are selling chicken in the Voodoo Gang recently.I have told you a long time ago that your figure is like a delayed butcher.Sure enough, you are a person who listens to advice, but you should be earlier Just listen to me, and my reinforcements will be here soon.You will be shocked when I take care of it! By the way, leave me two kilograms of chicken.I haven't eaten real meat in a long time."Placid stood far away, folding his arms and almost laughed out of anger.When did he ask for chicken? He originally thought that the person under his command had made a mistake, but now it seems that it is clearly that bastard Arthur, and he has no idea how the other person crawled out of hell. God is really blind. He caught his eye and actually picked him up."Reinforcements? You have just returned to Night City. Who will come to help you? Did you just cry and call the NCPD officers?"This mockery made the younger brothers around him burst into laughter.Are you kidding? How could the NCP officers go to Taipingzhou?Not to mention a little gunfight, even if a few rockets were thrown in Taipingzhou, no NCPD officer would come to check.

Chapter 30 I Still Have A Chicken To Chop Down At Home!

Arthur was stunned for a moment after hearing Placid's words. What's going on? Is his plan so obvious? How could even a stupid person guess it?No, this is not in line with his Placid character.Hasn't Placid always been the thug and Maman the brains in the Voodoo Gang? Could it be that this guy wants to usurp the throne?"Is my plan that obvious, Lucy?"Lucy almost choked after hearing this sentence."He's just joking. Can't you even hear this? Really, if you have time, you might as well fire two shots over there. Those bastards will crawl over soon. I've been unlucky for eight lifetimes. I will go out with you to perform the mission."Now Lucy can only say that she regrets, very much.He should have listened to Mann and believed that Arthur was a very unreliable guy, instead of believing in Dorio's words.Where's the girlhelpgirl we agreed to talk about?This is not about women helping women. This is clearly a trap for themselves. They fell into this pit of fire all of a sudden. Now that they are better, if they can't climb out, they will probably drown in this pit of fire."Placide, how did you guess it? It's rare that you have such a bright mind. Do you want to run for the next leader of the Voodoo Gang?"Placid, who was standing in the distance with his arms folded, was stunned when he heard Arthur's words. Good guy, the other party really called the police.Suddenly Placid felt that it was very boring. After all, there was no taste in arguing with a crazy person.Placid felt that Arthur must have suffered from cyberpsychosis, otherwise he would not have gone to the police as a cyberpunk."Boom~hoo~"Just when Placid was about to say something, he suddenly heard something and his ears moved uncontrollably.This voice felt very familiar to him, which was wonderful, so Prachid calmly said to the men next to him: "God brought Arthur's body back, but he probably didn't bring back his brain as well.""There's no point in looking at it like crazy. If you kill it as soon as possible, you'll be done with it. I still have a chicken at home that needs to be chopped down, so I'll leave first. Remember to report back to me if it's solved!"After saying this, Placid left the scene without looking back.The younger brother scratched the back of his head after hearing Placid's words. He felt a little strange. Didn't his boss clamor to chop Arthur into meat paste and feed it to the dogs before going out?For this reason, Placid made a special call and ordered a dog from outside through his own channels.Why are you suddenly not interested now? Sure enough, the strong men in Night City have some brain problems, but it's time for me to make a contribution and replace Placid today!"Bang bang bang!"Just when this young man was about to be granted a title as a general, a dull sound of metal knocking suddenly came from the sky, which blew him into pieces of meat in just an instant.Along with the dull sound, the ground was exploded instantly, and the blasted places were small holes of 30 centimeters one after another.That's a heavy machine gun on an aerial vehicle, specially designed to target aircraft. They have a name called anti-aircraft machine guns.It's just that in Night City, it seems that everyone is more inclined to use them against people rather than against vehicles.The banging sound continued, and there was a constant roaring sound from the sky. This was not counting the silhouettes of people in the sky. It was as if they were doing extreme skydiving without opening the umbrella. Landed directly on the ground.Waves of smoke and dust instantly rose up and covered the place. The Voodoo Gang boys couldn't see clearly, and Lucy couldn't see clearly either.Suddenly the whole place was as chaotic as a bar toilet at 3am. ,Arthur stood up silently, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit it, took a deep breath, and exhaled a puff of smoke."It seems that the operation efficiency of these insects in Night City is still very efficient. I paid so much money in vain.""boom!"The next moment, the mantis knife on Arthur's right hand was ejected and placed directly in front of him. As the sparks scattered, Arthur silently took a deep breath of cigarette. He could still identify the helmeted face opposite through the sparks."Melissa, you are too enthusiastic. Didn't I say I would go to you? You have to give the man some time, right?""f**k you! You left me aside just to go on a date with your little girlfriend.You've only been back to Night City for a few days, and now you've found another beautiful girl.It seems it's time for me to castrate you.Take it back and lock it up properly.Don't worry, my salary is very high now, enough to support you!"Arthur felt his lower body go cold, and without hesitation, he used the mantis knife on his right hand to push the opponent away.Sure enough, she was a cyber lunatic, and those resetters in Night City didn't even cure her, so they released her!He simply doesn't take the safety of a five-star good citizen like himself into consideration. This is really abominable. Sooner or later, the election site will have to be bombed!"This is not my little girlfriend, she is the chief network consultant of my company. I came to Taipingzhou today just to look at the factory. I plan to change jobs and become a company dog ​​for fun."Arthur took a puff of cigarette silently, and left the mantis knife in his right hand outside without retracting it.Arthur looked at the woman opposite him indifferently. Although the woman was wearing standard clothes, he could still see her charming curves under the clothes."After so many years, it still hasn't changed at all. The words are still the same as the river in Night City, full of various elements.""I guess you actually wanted to say something sweet, right?""He's obviously a cyberpunk who hasn't read a book, pretending to be a professor from some university.""I've told you to read more. Books are the soul of mankind. If you don't read, you will sooner or later become a cyberpsycho like you.""...snort!"Seeing the Higurashi that popped out of Melissa's hand opposite her slowly take back into her hand, Arthur breathed a sigh of relief.It's really crazy. Why didn't he think at the beginning that if the Terrorist Mobile Team was dispatched, it was very likely that this great god would be lured out.If he had known this was the case, he might as well have slaughtered all the people in the Voodoo Gang by himself.While the two were talking, Lucy looked in shock at the people from the Terrorist Mobile Team not far away.They were holding a smart automatic rifle like a mad dog and shooting wildly at the surroundings.It was like killing people and killing dogs.Dogs can't even survive within 10 meters of a cockroach.Some members of the Terrorist Mobile Team seemed to feel that it was not very enjoyable, so they simply threw away the guns in their hands, and directly ejected the mantis knives hidden in their hands.The next moment, they were like hungry dogs pouncing on food.In the same way, he jumped on each member of the Voodoo Gang and disintegrated each other in three strokes.The venue was very bloody for a moment, and Lucy almost vomited when she saw it.Arthur smoked silently and complained to Melissa next to him: "I think you should take them to sit at the Ritz Bar. The spirits of these young men are like male dogs in April and October. They need to Get treatment from the ladies."Melissa touched her chin and nodded as if she agreed with Arthur's idea, but then she shook her head."Boss Susie doesn't welcome young men to be guests in his bar. Really, there are still people in Night City who don't do door-to-door business. This is simply a lack of entrepreneurial spirit!"
