Please call me Cyber ​​Demon King

"V, you're back so soon? How was your trip?"

Ke Ling and Jack Wells looked at V; this girl had arrived rather quickly, so she probably hadn't come up with anything.

"Don't even mention it, we went too early."

V waved his hand, looking speechless. He hadn't explained himself very clearly, but Ke Ling and Jack Wells both understood.

Because they arrived too early, the scavengers hadn't had a chance to sell the goods they had just acquired, so those scumbags didn't have much money.

"How did you handle it?"

Ke Ling looked at V. Although he knew V was probably not that kind of person, he still had to ask the questions he needed to ask.

After all, if a person sells well, earning tens of thousands of euros is not out of the question. This is why the cleaners are so hard to kill; money is a powerful motivator.

"I burned that basement down."

V raised an eyebrow. To put it bluntly, they weren't going to make money from this, but they couldn't let others get it for free either. They decided to burn it down and be done with it.

"Girl, I feel more and more that we're compatible."

Jack Wells smiled and gave a thumbs up, becoming a thumbs-up fanatic; he genuinely felt that V was a perfect match.

"By the way, what were you guys talking about just now? Biotechnology? Is there work to be done?"

V was amused, but she was more concerned about what she had just heard. She was a seasoned street hustler and knew immediately that it was a big job.

Ke Ling and Jack Wells exchanged a glance and quickly reached an agreement to bring V along.

V and the priest had a good relationship, which couldn't be hidden. Besides, Ke Ling had always wanted to bring V along, so this was a perfect opportunity.

"You're not going to Atlanta?"

Instead of directly bringing up the commission, Ke Ling asked V a question in return.

"Let's talk about this later."

Upon hearing Ke Ling's question, V pursed his lips, clearly his enthusiasm for going to Atlanta had waned.

"That's perfect. I see you're all alone. Why don't you join us and pull off something big?"

Ke Ling was delighted and promptly extended the invitation. It seemed his persuasion had been quite successful, and V was probably about to give up the idea of ​​going to Atlanta.

"Tell me more about it."

V did not agree immediately; she wanted to hear the details of the task before making a decision.

"This order is 300,000."

"Done."

Ke Ling only mentioned a price, and V agreed without hesitation.

"Is it still the three of us?"

V asked, "If it's still the three of them, then it's 100,000 each. I'm determined to do any job, no matter what it is."

"No, there's also a hacker; we made contact over there."

The priest suddenly interjected, saying that he had finished communicating with the client.

"Can't we bring our own hackers?"

Jack Wells frowned; he had his own hackers with whom he had been working.

"I'm afraid that won't work. The client trusts the hacker's skills. The hacker originally wanted to work alone, but the client wasn't comfortable with that, so you've added some insurance."

The priest smiled helplessly. They paid a lot, so naturally they had many demands. There was nothing he could do. Too much trouble? Then don't do it.

"Okay, so we'll split the profits with that hacker?"

Jack Wells naturally understood that they, as laborers, couldn't possibly argue with the person who was paying them.

"The hackers have their share, but this 300,000 is yours."

The priest shook his head. "What do you call this? Money talks."

Upon hearing this, Ke Ling, Jack Wells, and V exchanged glances, all understanding what the other meant.

"Damn it! What are we waiting for?! Let's do it!"

Please read my new book! It's really important! Thank you so much, dear readers!!

Chapter 30 Lady Cat Head

"The hacker's contact information has been sent to you."

The priest sent me a number; this was the hacker contacted by the client.

After entering the number, Ke Ling sent a friend request. The profile picture of this number was a pink line drawing of a cat's head, which looked somewhat familiar.

"Hmm~ Does that look familiar?"

Ke Ling muttered something, but this time there shouldn't be any problems. The people who could make an impression on him should all be quite reliable in terms of strength.

After all, in this City of Night, unreliable people all turn into nourishment long ago.

Especially for hackers, when facing a company's firewall, a single mistake can be fatal.

"Hi, sir."

The friend request was quickly added, and the cat-headed hacker on the other end sent a message first.

"I've added her; she seems to be a woman."

Ke Ling didn't rush to reply; he spoke first to Jack Wells and V.

"Ask her where we can meet; we need to get to know each other beforehand."

Jack Wells said with a mature and prudent attitude, "This kind of serious work is not something to be taken lightly; it could really kill someone."

"If she's unreliable, then we'll take her down and find a different hacker."

A mischievous grin spread across V's face; her idea was very much in line with street thinking.

"Great idea! As long as we get the stuff in the end, the client certainly won't care which hacker did it."

Jack Wells couldn't help but clap his hands; they weren't going to give up on this job anyway.

If they can't reach an agreement with this hacker lady, then there's nothing they can do but ask her to give up.

"Hi, Ms. Cat Head, where shall we meet?"

Ke Ling sent a message to the hacker named [name omitted], inviting him to meet and get to know each other first.

"#! Don't call me Cat Head! Just call me Sasha!"

Ms. Cathead sent an angry "#", indicating she wasn't satisfied with Ke Ling's way of addressing her.

“Okay, Ms. Cathead, no problem, Ms. Cathead.”

Ke Ling readily agreed, thinking that the hacker woman shouldn't be very old.

"Never mind, you guys wait for me at the Next Life Bar."

Ms. Cathead gave up and directly stated the meeting place: the Rebirth Bar in Watson District.

"See you soon."

Ke Ling had no objection to this, and he also wanted to check out the famous Laisheng Bar.

"Let's go, she told us to wait for her at the Laisheng Bar."

Ke Ling called out to his two companions, and then he saw that Jack Wells and V were both stunned.

"An afterlife? Are you sure?"

Jack Wells gaped, as if he had heard something incredible.

"Of course, it's been explained very clearly."

Ke Ling was a little confused. Could he have misheard that?

However, he quickly realized that the Next Life Bar was not a place anyone could just go to.

Although it's a bar, the Next Life Bar is definitely not just a place to drink in Night City.

Of course, you can relax and have some fun here, but Life Bar is a business, and that's above all else.

Want to discuss your current commission with the middleman? Discuss the details of the mission with your client over a drink? Or simply sit aside and quietly observe as the most powerful mercenaries and middlemen of Night City's underworld come and go before your eyes?

All of these can be achieved in the next life, or perhaps only in the next life.

"It seems this female hacker does have some impressive background."

V also looked surprised. Having lived in Night City for so long, she had never been to the afterlife before.

The Rebirth Bar is a good place to do business, but it's not a place for small fry to go. First, you have to make a name for yourself.

"Ha, it seems we've come out on top this time."

Ke Ling laughed. What was this? Taking Jack Wells and V to the afterlife two and a half years and a half early?

"Hurry up, hurry up! I've been looking forward to my next life for so long!"

Jack Wells was thrilled. His dream was to become a big shot who would leave his mark at the Afterlife Bar, and now he had finally taken the first step.

The three said goodbye to the priest and left the chapel. This time they didn't need to take the subway because V had driven there in a Volkswagen Gallina G240.

"This car is really old, even older than the Curtis."

Once inside the car, Jack Wells commented that it was indeed quite old, being a model launched in 2031.

"It's good enough that it can be driven. The performance is not good, but it's cheap. The original price was 13,000, but I bought it for 3000 as a second-hand item at a huge discount."

V rolled her eyes. She did want to drive a luxury car, but did she have the money to buy one?

As soon as the Gallina started, the difference was immediately apparent to the Cortez; the 24,000 price gap between it and the Curtis was practically visible to the naked eye.

"The Gallina's engine was no good, only 86 horsepower, which couldn't compare to the Curtis. At the time, the Toni was not very experienced in making small cars, so the engine they equipped in this car was from Mech Motors in India."

Jack Wells's argument was quite logical, and this time V didn't refute it; instead, she chimed in, agreeing with him.

"I dare say the person in charge at Galina must have taken money from Mech, otherwise how could he dare to use an Indian engine?"
