Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 270 32. Cyberpsychopath Carl

"Hey, Carl, I heard that you guys have started taking jobs again recently?"

"To be exact, it was seven o'clock this morning, which is two minutes ago."

Listening to the words from the old captain on the other end of the phone, Carl lay on a sofa chair purchased on the large flat and said lazily, "Didn't I send you all a notice of reopening? You still need to listen to it? Just check the news in the message column."

"I came to you right away after seeing this."

"Then you still say you heard it?"

"Do you know what it means to use language to show that you have intelligence capabilities? That's the basics of the industry."

Although he didn't know whether the industry the old captain was referring to was basically his car-selling business or the middleman business, Carl understood only one thing: "So, you heard that we're taking jobs again, and you plan to hire me to work?"

"It's not that easy."

The old captain's answer was a little beyond Carl's expectations. "It's only been two minutes. How can I find suitable work for you so quickly? I'm not the middleman in charge of the entire Saint Domingo area. Besides, your team has added a new member, right? I heard you say his name is V. You know Carl, with more people, you have to think more about certain tasks."

Hearing the old captain mention V, Carl raised his eyebrows, squinted his eyes, and looked at V who was in the kitchen and said he would make them a Badlands-style breakfast, and asked:

"Why? Are you afraid that we have a new member and that he might ruin things? If you are worried about our strength, I can guarantee that it will not be a problem to easily knock down a dozen gang members. I remember that you don't have many mercenaries of this ability under your command now."

"No, no, no, how could I possibly despise the abilities of your team members? Everyone knows that those who are recognized by your team members, Carl, are the best in the industry. Although V seems to be a wanderer and I haven't heard of his name in the city, it won't be long before he becomes famous throughout Night City. I'm just considering the reward. Do you understand the reward?"

The old captain said, "There aren't many mercenary teams in Night City that can compete with you. I have to pay you a lot of money that matches your status. If I add one more person, I have to consider the money. Otherwise, I will lose face and ruin my reputation as a middleman. If people say I am the next Faraday, then my career, which has just started, will be over."

Listening to the old captain's casual words, Carl smiled. It was indeed fun to talk to him: "Weren't you also a company dog ​​before? Why do you look down on Faraday who works hard for the company now?"

"Everyone was stupid when they were young. Forget it, let's not talk too much. The reason I called today is to beg you to leave me a share of the mission, so that I don't end up like the patrol officers of the NCPD, going around in circles and not catching up with my turn."

"Okay, remember, stop yelling, and contact me if you have any work."

"Okay, I have a live connection."

After hanging up the phone with the old captain, Carl soon received communication requests from the priest, Wakako, and other middlemen. As the leader of the team, Carl had to deal with greetings from the middlemen one by one while his companions were eating V's special Badlands breakfast. When he finally finished all the greeting communications and sat at the dining table, he saw what the so-called Badlands breakfast was.

"Kebab?"

Considering Night City's food scene, it's surprisingly average.

"In the Badlands, we can occasionally catch some lizards at night, and then grill them during the day and eat them with some seasonings for breakfast. But there are no lizards in the city, so I used the pork that you put in the refrigerator, Carl." The lizards in the Badlands are active at night, so we catch lizards at night and grill them during the day.

Carl thought that the normal activities of the wilderness wanderer tribe were mostly at night when the sunlight was not too strong, which just happened to coincide with the activity time of the lizards.

Although the pork skewers are made from frozen pork that was improperly handled when killed, it has to be said that for Carl, who has gradually adapted to the diet of Night City, it is indeed a delicacy.

After eating four large skewers, a piece of white bread and a glass of orange juice from the hovercraft, Carl finished his breakfast. Then he discussed the work to be done with others at the dining table.

Except for the old captain, the other middlemen still found some tasks for Carl to choose. Although the rewards were not much, as V's first task as an official member of the team, they were still quite suitable. In a fair way, Carl sent all the work to others and prepared to discuss what to do.

Talking about these things that are usually discussed in the channel at a dining table gave Carl the feeling of talking about things over a meal in the past, which was quite strange.

Carl did not participate much in the discussion of the mission. It was more like a bunch of small tasks. Apart from V who was pondering and analyzing the rewards, dangers and trouble levels of each mission, the other team members did not care too much.

These tasks might be difficult and important tasks that require attention in an ordinary mercenary team, but for them, they are really nothing, so they gave the tasks to V who had just joined to choose.

V looked left and right, and finally chose a job assigned by a priest.

'Destroy Mewtwo's Black Workshop': Some people haven't been very clean lately, so I have to give you a small warning.

This was a job with a reasonable reward, and the intelligence was also quite detailed, including the address and everything. All that was left was for Carl and the others to go and kill those people.

"Then I've decided to do this job."

Seeing that no one had any objections, Carl decided on this job. After sending a message to the priest expressing his willingness to do it, the priest sent him the attachments and deposit.

Without paying attention to the deposit that had been distributed as soon as he received it, Carl read the relevant attachments, and his expression became more and more complicated the more he read.

Jack and Oliver were also in a complicated situation. They were looking at the contents of the attachments sent in the chat channel while glancing towards Carl.

the reason is simple.

The content of the attachment of this Mewtwo Black Workshop involves Carl, and it can even be said that it is closely related. Maybe the priest discovered this and sent this job to them.

Because the content of this life is
'A group of people used the fact that Carl appeared in the Mewtwo movie as a gimmick, and created a person who looked like Carl. He played the role of the murderer in Black Mewtwo, and together with the Black Mewtwo that Carl had appeared in before, they continued to pirate and distribute the Cyber ​​Psycho Carl collection.'
