The Creators: From Night City

"Which team do you want to win?"

Mr. Blue Eyes turned around and looked at Jiang Bing: "This is the main reason why I came to see you today."

The two looked at each other for a long time. Jiang Bing observed the other's expression and slowly frowned. "What exactly do you want to bet with others?"

Mr. Blue Eyes remained silent.

Seeing the other party's behavior, Jiang Bing gave his own answer in a deep voice: "[Anti-Entropy] can win, but the price you offer is not enough."

Hearing Jiang Bing say this, Mr. Blue Eyes' eyes fluctuated noticeably.

"One more ticket."

"Ticket?"

"I believe you will find it useful as a ticket to participate in this grand gambling game."

Jiang Bing looked at the crowd below who were nervously preparing for the competition in a few days. "Do you think I'm a gambler?"

"You'll want to join this game. After all, compared to those gamblers who rely solely on luck, you're a 'robber' who believes in your own strength."

Jiang Bing responded with a smile.

"You're a good judge of people."

"But you have to do me a favor and help me act out a scene." Mr. Blue Eyes' eyes moved across Jiang Bing's completely original face.

"What's the deal?"

"Showing off wealth"

........................

If you ask who the local bosses are in Night City, the answers will probably vary.

Arasaka, military technology, major gangs, the Queen of Afterlife, or [Anti-Entropy].

However, if we add some restrictions to this question, such as "good at both black and white", "strong in tactics" and "wide social connections", then the answer will be very obvious and specific.

Dogtown, Colonel Hansen.

Chapter 394 Guests from the Far East

Sapphire Blue, the pride of Colonel Hansen, his impenetrable fortress, a luxurious palace, the lair of the Hellhounds.

It is also the reception venue where the 'King of Dogtown' entertains dignitaries from all over the world, especially those from the political circles and criminal forces.

This giant building, invested and built by Halsey, Felice and Skiver in 2061, is 99 stories high. The top floor houses a luxury club, helipad, casino, brothel, and even an endangered zoo that Hansen uses as a facade.

The bottom floor is the camp of the Nether Dogs, as well as some machine rooms and even a prison.

Lavish banquets are held here all year round, with various themes to entertain people who come here for various purposes.

Today is no exception.

In the eyes of some people, the night in Dogtown is a symbol of danger, but in the eyes of others, it is a film background of bright lights and feasting.

It all depends on your perspective.

If you are crawling on the ground, living in a dilapidated house that is drafty, dirty and messy on all sides, the night outside is the best cloak to cover up the criminals. But if you are in the clouds, looking down at the earth, all you see are tiny stars, which complement the dazzling and well-dressed companions around you.

A 'Queen Bee' hovercraft was parked in the parking lot at the top of Sapphire Blue. Ruth Zheng, the host of N54's "Intelligence Talk," and her bodyguards stepped out of the luxurious hovercraft, only to find that only a smiling attendant on duty had come to greet them. The other dozen or so people gathered in the center of the apron, looking up at the sky, eagerly waiting.

"How strange! What important person is coming to visit? They are making such a grand ceremony."

"Dear Ms. Zheng, please come this way. The dedicated elevator will take you directly to the banquet hall on the 92nd floor." The service staff did not respond, but directly tried to guide people to the banquet hall, naturally avoiding revealing any information.

"Wait a minute, I want to see who has such a big face." The behavior of the waiter actually aroused the interest of the rich second generation.

Not long after, a Rayfield Holy Sword hovercraft with exquisite appearance, excellent performance, and world-renowned reputation pierced through the night sky. After completing a series of identity verifications, it slowly landed on the helipad on the top floor of the Gem Blue Building.

Renfield is world-famous for its exclusive luxury cars, the Excalibur and the Sword of the Lady of the Lake, but the British company is even more famous for its luxurious hovercar. After all, compared to the Excalibur and the Sword of the Lady of the Lake, two sports cars that are in large quantities, the holy sword, which costs far more than them, is often not so common.

To be precise, except for the Internet, most people in the real world can never see it.

It must be mentioned here that the price of Rayfield's "Sword of the Lady of the Lake" has exceeded the annual GDP of many island countries. It has become a symbol of wealth. If you want to own the holy sword, your bank account must be at least almost inexhaustible.

As the saying goes, "people respect you, dogs bite you." Seeing this perfect and dazzling work of art successfully landed, the reception manager in charge of welcoming guests hurriedly waved his hand to disperse the ghost dog soldiers who were looking around to prevent them from disturbing the guests. He then pointed out the most convenient and beautiful waitress under his command to wait at the car door.

A unique transparent step slowly extended from under the car, catching a burgundy leather boot.

Jiang Bing's clothes this time are extremely conventional. Entropism, kitsch, and neo-kitsch have nothing to do with his current look.

He was only wearing a well-fitting burgundy casual suit, and his silk white shirt had a few buttons undone, exposing his fair and strong chest.

Apart from a ring on his left hand that looked like a jade, there were no other ornaments on his body, and of course, no signs of any prosthetic body.

The gold-rimmed glasses on his face diluted the sharp eyes that he would inadvertently cast. Although he had a conventional slicked-back hair, with his extraordinary temperament and exceptional appearance, he unscrupulously exuded the aura of "rich", "elegant", and "the son of a wealthy family".

Looking at the other person's oriental appearance from afar, Ruth Zheng couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

"This is the young master of a big family in the Far East."

The female companion and bodyguard who accompanied her confirmed her judgment.

A living Venus and three bodyguards as dangerous as leopards.

Jiang Bing, who has changed his appearance, naturally cannot bring any more employees of [Anti-Entropy]. Fortunately, apart from the personnel in Night City, the employees of [Anti-Entropy] in other worlds can also meet the requirements of this operation, and their identities and security are undoubtedly more guaranteed.

Through the popularization of a series of popular science books produced by Judy, such as "A Brief History of Modern Times", "Learn Modern Life Common Sense from Mew", "Weapons Encyclopedia", "The Past and Present of Night City", and "Night City Survival Guide", the three cat school demon hunters and a group of female sorcerers quickly gained a preliminary understanding of the new world.

Because of the influence of the ever-existing concept of the intersection of celestial spheres, people in the world of "The Witcher" have always been very receptive to the parallel world. With the help of Mewtwo, it took less than a week for all the cross-border reserve employees in the world of "The Witcher" to have a sufficient understanding of Night City and this world.

Margarita Laux Antilles was worthy of being the dean. Her speed of learning and accepting new concepts was the best among the group. Perhaps it was because of her natural learning ability and high IQ, or because of some magical means, but she could now communicate normally in English, and even her accent was authentic West Coast.

Among the three Cat School witchers, except for Silodinger who could communicate normally with a stammer, the other two were still in the stage of silent quarrel - staring at each other.

The prosthetic left arm also allows Xilodinger to integrate into this world more smoothly.

Fortunately, the three of them played the roles of ruthless and taciturn bodyguards. They only needed to show a little bit of the momentum accumulated from their previous experience of chopping people and monsters, and the image of people who had been struggling between life and death for many years would be established on the spot.

"Mr. Wang Xiang, welcome to Bao Shi Qing. Kurt Hansen asked me to express his warmest welcome to you. He is meeting with guests and cannot leave for the time being. I hope you can understand. (Chinese)" The reception manager calmly retrieved the other party's information. When he saw a series of asterisks in the recommender column, his attitude became even more humble.

Jiang Bing nodded slightly, indicating that the other party should lead the way.

Ruth Zheng calculated the distance accurately, stood next to the elevator in advance, and naturally took the elevator with the other party.

Chapter 395 Colonel Hansen

She is half Asian and, influenced by her mother, some of her thoughts and ideas are very close to those of a certain Far Eastern country.

She first carefully scanned the outfits of the four members of the other team, and after confirming that she did not see any symbols or logos related to Kang Tao, she became even more curious.

But her doubts were quickly suppressed by her excellent business education, and her emotional intelligence made her immediately realize that this was a good time to meet an important person.

"It's rare to meet guests from the Far East in Night City. Hello, I'm Zheng Hui. (Chinese)"

The TV host was extremely grateful to her stubborn mother at this moment, and she also had a new understanding of her mother's saying "It's always good to have many skills".

Looking at the mixed-race girl with white hair, Jiang Bing nodded slightly at her with three parts of coldness, three parts of courtesy, three parts of interest and one part of arrogance.

“Your Chinese is very good.”

After praising the other person lightly, Jiang Bing put on his airs again and had no intention of speaking again until the elevator arrived at the station.

After hitting a snag, Ruth Zheng became even more curious about the other party's identity.

A group of people surrounded Jiang Bing and entered the magnificent hall. The banquet hall was already packed with people.

There were political celebrities, media elites, investors, gangsters, arms dealers, terrorists, and some speculators. It was bustling with people, drinking and chatting, and it was very lively.

Of course, everyone has one thing in common, that is, they are dressed very well, in evening gowns and small suits. Few people would dress sloppily in such places to show their personality.

"Sorry, for the safety of our guests, the weapons need to be put away temporarily."

As soon as he got out of the elevator, the box in Joel's hand triggered the alarm. The Netherhound soldier in yellow combat uniform hurried forward to stop him, but was stared at by the witcher's cat eyes and almost couldn't react.

Killing people with a gun and chopping people with a steel sword have completely different effects on a person's temperament. At least at this moment, Joel seems to be able to really emit an invisible murderous aura.

"This is a gift for Colonel Hansen." Jiang Bing turned sideways and whispered to the reception manager, who immediately ordered his men to take the box away.

Inspection is necessary, otherwise if there are dangerous items such as poison gas and explosives hidden inside, it will be a big deal if a few people die in the banquet hall.

Fortunately, modern technology makes it very convenient and quick to inspect a dagger. The staff returned the item in less than two minutes.

In the so-called upper class society, there has always been a saying that if you want to understand a person's ability when you meet him for the first time, you only need to look at his female companion.

Although this statement is unfair, it is still used by many upper-class people in Night City.

Margarita's appearance is undoubtedly very attractive, and the temperament she has developed from being in a high position for a long time has added a lot of weight to her and Jiang Bing.

Under the gazes of guests from all directions, Jiang Bing and his group walked straight towards a semi-open booth surrounded by green plants.

That was Hansen's exclusive 'reception room'.

What should you do if you want to become the most dazzling presence at the party as soon as you appear? A very good way is to find the most powerful person here to endorse you.

A sturdy Nether Dog elite was standing in front of the booth, guarding the door. Seeing Jiang Bing and his group coming straight here, he immediately stretched out his hand to signal them to stop and wait.

Hansen was in a spacious booth, whispering business with two guests who looked like they didn't belong to Night City.

Of course, the so-called low voice refers to ordinary people.

Except for Jiang Bing, the other three demon hunters present could hear most of what was said if they concentrated their attention.

Unfortunately, these three people didn't care about these secrets at all. Their eyes had long been attracted by the luxurious and extravagant banquet scene. They pretended to be expressionless on the surface, but their eyes were already darting around.

But you know what, this behavior actually proves that the three of them are professional bodyguards. Seeing them constantly looking around, anyone who sees them will have to praise their professionalism.

"Colonel Hansen, the equipment we need must be able to withstand extreme low temperatures and ensure reliability in low temperatures. After all, the Icelandic environment is not kind to anything."

"Of course." The local tyrant's voice was steady and powerful, and it was clear he was a gunman. "I've already connected you with a friend in the military technology industry. They're fully capable of handling this matter."

"Of course, the quantity must reach their minimum order amount."

"We need 40 sets of intelligent air defense equipment, 500 armored vehicles with a military defense strength of Level II or above, and 200 armed armored vehicles." Another customer wearing black sunglasses spoke up.

"No big deal." Hansen agreed without even thinking.

"Don't consider purchasing some large armed drones. As long as this thing is properly antifreeze-proofed, it can play a double role in extreme environments like permafrost. After all, it can fly to places that soldiers and most vehicles cannot go." As a battle-hardened soldier, Hansen's transformation into an arms salesman is like adding wings to a tiger. He stated the pros and cons and hit the nail on the head on the head on the customer's pain points.

"That's a great suggestion. Could you provide us with a catalog of relevant products and their specifications for reference?"

"Of course. My assistant, Gago Zabu, will provide you with detailed information shortly. You can also follow him to see the actual item."

Hansen's performance at this moment was more like a businessman than a soldier. He did not have any of the soldier's toughness, but was full of the smoothness of a businessman. He completed the sales work skillfully and stood up to see the two guests off.

Colonel Hansen, who had completed a big deal, sighed, drank the wine in his glass to moisten his throat, sorted himself out, and stood up to greet Jiang Bing, the distinguished guest.

The reception manager had already sorted out the relevant information of this distinguished guest from the Far East and sent it to Hansen. Otherwise, what was the point of setting up a reception staff on the apron?

"Welcome, Mr. Wang. Are you getting used to living in Night City?"

As the highest authority in Dog Town, Hansen could naturally see Jiang Bing's recommendation for attending the banquet.

Mr. Blue Eyes's strength is unquestionable. He used Ye's University to give Jiang Bing, the character of Wang Xiang, an almost perfect skin, firmly establishing the character of this powerful person who came to Night City for a short-term exchange of school management experience.

"Apart from the gunfire all day long, everything else is fine." Jiang Bing sat in the red booth, looking lazy but maintaining his demeanor and relaxed, in stark contrast to Hansen's military demeanor.

"Ha!" Hansen slapped his thigh with his black prosthetic left arm and sneered, "This is freedom. Every citizen of Night City has the right to choose whether to shoot or fight back."

"Very insightful." Jiang Bing gestured to Margarita to put a sandalwood box on the table.

"It's just a small gift, not a token of respect."

Chapter 396 Getting better

There is no tradition in American culture to open gifts after the guests leave. On the contrary, it is polite to open the gifts in front of the giver and then give them compliments.

So Hansen opened the valuable box while declining.

A Chinese dagger with a scabbard was placed neatly in the center of the box. Its upright shape made it look both delicate and majestic.

There is almost no soldier who doesn't like weapons, especially a practical man like Hansen.

He picked up the dagger and gently drew out the blade. The sharp blade gleamed in the light.

This is a scaled-down version of the eight-sided Han sword.

The sword body is straight, and the blade extends to both sides with two arcs. The entire sword body is polished on eight sides. The workmanship is extremely delicate and the materials are exquisite. Even if you just look at it, you can tell that it is an exquisite and sophisticated weapon.

Hansen skillfully unsheathed the sword. The distance of more than ten centimeters was just enough to use it as a tactical dagger. He shook it in his hand and picked up the dagger with his index finger. He found that this dagger with a simple shape had an amazing balance.
