Chapter 178 1 Crying 2 Making Trouble 3 Going Up... Blue

"Good evening, Night City! I'm Zig Q. My guest today is Meredith Stout, Director of Government Relations at Militech. Let's give her a warm welcome."

Meredith said, "Good evening, Zig, it's great to be on your show, you're even more photogenic in person than on the show."

"Thank you for the compliment." Zigg laughed and then looked at the camera.

"Did you see the dead lottery yesterday? That's where a hundred people died. Of course, that's not what I'm talking about. That's Stanley's job. Sorry, brother, I interrupted you."

"Back to the topic." Sieg looked at Stout, "I heard that you contributed to the number of people killed yesterday, didn't you? I heard that you were promoted for this?"

"Yes." Stout did not deny it. "Yesterday, a military-tech operation cleared out a group of gangsters entrenched in the Whole Foods factory..."

When Ling Luxian heard the news he wanted to hear, he turned off the TV.

Lucy just finished taking a shower and walked out of the bathroom, wiping her wet hair with a dry towel.

"It was just perfect, why did you turn it off?"

Ling Luxian put his hands on the sofa, and Lucy leaned over. He easily hugged Lucy into his arms.

"There's nothing interesting to see. I've already guessed what's going to happen next. It's just two people flattering each other."

Ling Luxian shook his head. These programs seemed to be entertainment for the public, but in fact they were all manipulated by the company behind the scenes. What the public wanted to watch depended on what they wanted the public to watch. The truth that the public saw was not entirely true.

In a word, if you study journalism, just watch the events in it, and don't believe the opinions expressed in the program at all.

Zig W's show seemed joyful, and in one episode he interviewed a worker with both arms broken.

In order to improve work efficiency, the company forced workers to implant hand prostheses, but the company went bankrupt in less than a year.

Zeta Technology came to recycle the prosthesis, causing the worker to become disabled. Now it is difficult for him to live, let alone work.

On the show, Zig Q replaced the worker's arms with new ones, earning the worker's gratitude. But after the show was aired, he sent someone to take back the two arms.

That episode was not about seeking justice for the workers, but a disguised attack on Zeta Technology. The worker was just a tool, a disposable one at that. When the tool was used up, it was bound to be thrown into the trash.

This further strengthened Ling Luxian's determination to cultivate his own voice in Night City. In the battlefield of public opinion, if you don't occupy your position, the enemy will occupy it.

All of this is off topic. Ling Luxian learned from the show that an important stronghold of the Vortex Gang was raided using military technology.

It seems that Vincent is still involved in this conspiracy.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this. Vincent has become very mature in the past few years and has his own reminders. He should not accept this commission again.

Who would have thought that Vincent would take the call anyway. Maybe someone was playing a trick?

"Oh~" Ling Lu sighed. It would be better to protect Vincent at that time. After this job is over, Vincent will probably become famous.

Lucy poked his face, "Why are you sighing?"

This was not something Lucy would do, but rather something like Rebecca. Ling Luxian looked at Lucy, wondering if she had been possessed by Rebecca.

"Why are you looking at me like that? It makes me feel creepy."

Lucy saw Ling Luxian staring at her, and that look made her feel really uncomfortable.

"No, nothing." Ling Luxian asked back, "You haven't received any commissions recently, right?"

Ling Luxian was a little worried about Lucy, afraid that she would accept Dexter's cheating commission. After replacing the new operating system for them, Lucy and Qiwei became famous in the hacker circle.

First, they are all very talented. Second, they have no shortage of code and other skills, and they grow quite fast. Third, after completing these skills, what they lack most is hacker equipment.

Therefore, after changing the operating system, they have no choice but to become famous.

Sasha, on the other hand, after fulfilling his wish to avenge his mother, completely became a script kid, relying on Ling Luxian's puppet to bully those noobs.

This is the same as her sister, she has become a funny person in Night City.

"No." Lucy shook her head. There weren't any orders that she was interested in recently. Recently, Watson District had been blocked for some reason, and Qiwei was not in Watson District. Now she was surfing intensively every day.

"That's good." Ling Luxian finally felt relieved.

Although T.Bug is an old acquaintance of Dexter, there is no reason not to look for a stranger hacker instead of an old acquaintance. But what if?

Ling Luxian felt relieved when he heard that the two of them had not received any strange commissions.

"The Watson area has been blocked these past two days, so be careful."

"I understand." Lucy replied, then buried her head in Ling Luxian's arms.

After some tenderness, Ling Luxian contacted Vincent the next day. When questioning him, Vincent hesitated, obviously not wanting Ling Luxian to know what he was doing.

Ling Luxian also cleverly asked Vincent questions, and Vincent was not on guard against him, so Ling Luxian learned the time of his action.

Vincent wasn't that stupid, he just vaguely mentioned that something might happen today. This made Ling Luxian sure that Vincent was going to steal RELIC from the Blue Bi Building tonight.

Ling Luxian also called BT over and prepared for a fight.

When night came, Ling Luxian used a personality mask to disguise himself as Morgan Blackhand, and he was equipped with sophisticated military-grade equipment.

The prosthetics on BT's body are all modified parts of military technology. Wasn't Arasaka Yorinobu trying to stir up trouble with military technology and start a corporate war? Ling Luxian just fulfilled his wish.

Looking at the towering Blue Bi Building, BT turned his head and glanced at Ling Luxian, "How are we going to get in? There is a security check at the door, and I'm afraid we can't bring weapons up."

Ling Luxian patted BT's shoulder and said, "Don't even think about it. You can't get in by sneaking in. With your iron body, you must blow up their broken security scanner. You'd better be honest and climb up."

"Ah? Climb?" BT looked at the Blue Bi Building. It had a hundred floors. Wouldn't he be exhausted to death if he climbed up like this?

"What? Don't forget, you are just a wandering AI, and this body is made entirely of machines. What are you afraid of?"

"Oh, that's right." BT has been in Night City for so long that he has become accustomed to the human body and has almost forgotten that he is just an AI.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and crawl." Ling Lu held on to BT tightly and urged.

Ling Luxian and BT began to climb along the outer wall of the building, using optical camouflage the entire time, fearing they would be spotted by the patrolling drones.

Thanks to BT's agility and tirelessness, he climbed up quickly.
