Chapter 629 I Quit

In the game, the protagonist V has three origins to choose from, one of which is Company V.

Company V graduated from Arasaka Academy and joined Arasaka after graduation. His initial department is unknown, but he should be responsible for the intelligence war and rapid response tasks between various companies and Arasaka.

Later, Company V was parachuted into the Counterintelligence Department of Arasaka and became the assistant of Arthur Jenkins, a senior member of the Counterintelligence Department.

The body that Vincent traveled through was Company V at the end of 2075.

At that time, he had just been transferred to the Counterintelligence Department and had not yet become Arthur Jenkins' assistant.

As a traveler, Vincent played "Cyberpunk 2077" in his previous life and watched the derivative anime "Edgewalker", so he had a very good understanding of the worldview of this world.

He knew that without the blessing of the system, with his ability, it would be impossible to shake the company's position.

Considering his own survival and life, he pondered for a long time and decided to continue to climb up inside Arasaka.

Anyway, with his own strength, it is impossible for him to stir up the situation like V in the game.

It is better to adapt to the local customs, become a company executive, and enjoy the life of a cyberpunk superior.

As for overthrowing the company and changing the world, such a grand undertaking should be left to more capable people!

With such a self-hypnotic idea, Vincent began to work diligently for the Counterintelligence Department.

Until he successfully mixed with Arthur Jenkins and became the assistant of the Counterintelligence Department executives as in the plot, the long-dormant system in his body suddenly awakened.

Vincent stared blankly at the system panel in front of him that only he could see.

When he came to his senses, he suppressed his excitement and began to study the golden finger that suddenly appeared.

Then he found that this "system" seemed to be a little wrong...

As far as he knew, the characters in the game had five main attributes, namely [Physical], [Reaction], [Intelligence], [Calmness] and [Technical Ability].

But the system he got only had two attributes, [Physical] and [Spiritual].

Moreover, in the [System Prosthetics Store], in addition to the advanced prosthetics that appear in games and animations, there are also extremely outrageous technological items such as Iron Man Mark series battle suits and Chitauri technology exoskeleton armor.

Seeing these things, Vincent was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help getting excited.

With these things, let alone becoming a legend in Night City, even if he really becomes the "V Zhentian" in the game, it is not completely impossible!

The only problem is that all kinds of tasks issued by the system, as well as the way to obtain experience and points, must be carried out in Night City.

At that time, he received a task from his boss to go on a business trip to be responsible for the Jakarta Summit.

This trip would waste at least half a year...

Faced with the two contradictory choices of company tasks and system tasks, Vincent only pondered for half a second and made a decisive decision.

I quit!

What the hell company, what the hell Arasaka!

I'm already cheating, who will be your 996 worker? !

So, in early 2076, Vincent arrogantly came to Arasaka Tower and turned down the mission in front of Arthur Jenkins, and then... he was fired by Arasaka Corporation.

In the name of exporting useful talents to society.

Vincent didn't care about this, because this was the result he wanted.

In the game "Cyberpunk 2077", V left the company in 2077.

And Vincent's tricks made him leave the company early in 2076.

All the efforts in the past turned into smoke, but Vincent was not lost at all.

Because a wider world and future are slowly opening up to him.

After leaving the company, Vincent found Jack Wilson, his good brother for many years, and became a mercenary through his introduction.

The two formed a small team and began to accept tasks in Night City and show their talents.

But due to the system, Vincent's strength is getting stronger and stronger. He can always find some military-grade legendary prostheses inexplicably, and no matter how many prostheses are installed, there will never be mental problems.

This makes his good brother Jack very pleased and worried.

Even though Vincent repeatedly emphasized that there was no problem, Jack still insisted that he carry immunosuppressants with him.

Since then, Vincent's tasks have become more and more dangerous. He even began to accept the employment of NCPD to deal with cyberpsychosis.

This level of task is too dangerous for Jack. After some tangled thinking, Vincent finally decided to temporarily leave Jack's side and become a lone wolf mercenary.

After that, Vincent, who became a lone wolf, became more and more famous.

But no matter how famous he is, he always wears a suit, carries a briefcase, and dresses quite decently.

According to his explanation, this is a habit he developed in the company before.

But in fact, suits and briefcases are the default appearance of system equipment.

The former is a special bulletproof suit in the system mall, and the latter is a space equipment with five cubic meters.

Vincent dressed like this just because he was reluctant to spend system points to change the appearance of these two pieces of equipment!

…

…

In the apartment, Vincent was drinking coffee while reading emails.

He didn't care about the three members of the Vortex Gang he had killed before, and the unlucky Tiger Claw Gang fraudster just now.

Because in Night City, such things are too common!

Let alone, yesterday's death lottery was a total of 80 people.

Among them, there were at least 30 bodies of scavengers, who were casually dealt with when he passed by.

There is no way, who made them scavengers?

Most of the scavengers are scums at the bottom and cruel by nature. They are accustomed to attacking unsuspecting passers-by or hooligans, harvesting their cybernetics and organs and selling them on the black market.

In their eyes, human life is just a pile of patchwork commodities that can be exchanged for money on the black market.

Organ trafficking, reselling of prostheses... As long as it is a profitable business and task, they will take it without hesitation, without any honor or purpose.

Naturally, they don't have any strict organizational planning, and the structure is very loose.

Because of this, they are also the most numerous and most difficult rats to eliminate in Night City.

Fortunately, thanks to Vincent, the number of scavengers who died in the past six months has increased by 1,700%. The bodies dragged outside the city for burning alone can fill up an entire garbage dump.

Such efficiency, even the King of Hell would give a thumbs up and say that he is doing a good job!

"... Well, there are a lot of spam text messages and fraudulent emails again."

"I have to ask Lucy to come over in a few days to help me upgrade the firewall."

Vincent muttered while flipping through the emails.

At a glance, most of them are classic spam messages such as [##Super Medical Lottery##] [##Ding Ding Enlargement Nano Gel Fraud Warning##] [I am Johnny Silver Hand, transfer money to me] .

Suddenly, Vincent frowned and clicked on an email from David.

[Warning! You have been attacked! ]

[Sender: david_bot]

[Recipient: Encrypted]

Seeing the end, Vincent couldn't help but frown.

Isn't this the warning scam message that was very popular in the past two years?

He scrolled to the top of the page, carefully read the sender's name several times, and then flashed a stream of data in his eyes, and called someone with a frown on his face.

"Hey, boss, what's up?"

"You're the boss!" Vincent said unhappily, "Did you send me this fraudulent email?"

"Ah?"

"What? Say it's not."

"Definitely not, maybe it's a duplicate name!"

Vincent was full of doubts, and just as he was about to continue asking, he suddenly received another call.

[Regina Jones requested a call...]

Vincent frowned slightly: "Wait, don't hang up yet, there's a message."

After that, Vincent posted the message of his younger brother David to the background, and then received the call from Regina Jones.

"Hey, V, how are you doing today?"

Vincent thought about it and nodded, "Not bad. What's going on? Is there another cyber psychopath in Watson District?"

"We are all old acquaintances. Just say what you want to say. No need to be polite. I still have a phone call!"

Regina Jones sighed, "Okay, then I'll be frank. I have a mysterious client here. He specifically asked you to take a task. He is very generous, but the information is a bit stingy. He said he would only tell you when he saw you in person. What do you think?"

Vincent quickly grasped the point: "How generous?"

Regina Jones smiled and said: "The preliminary decision is to pay 20,000 euros, plus the channel to provide military-grade prostheses, but I don't think he cares about the price, maybe he can raise it a little more."

Vincent's eyes lit up and he said decisively: "Okay, I took it, where do we meet?"

Regina Jones smiled: "The old place, Laisheng Bar."

Vincent said without hesitation: "No problem."

After that, he hung up the phone and connected to another communication.

"David!"

"Yes, yes, boss, it really wasn't me..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Vincent interrupted him without hesitation, and then said with a smile, "Notify Jack and Mann, gather the team and wait for me, we have work to do!"
