The Creators: From Night City

Finally, everyone began to lose patience.

A question arose in everyone's mind: "Mr. Sabur went to all this trouble, was it just to create a piece of performance art?"

You know what, it feels quite technological when it turns!

Only Jiang Bing knew that the door device had been built and was already operating successfully, and what looked like a brainless repetitive work behavior was just an appearance.

In fact, it is getting in touch with some magnificent creation!!

This ball will keep spinning for more than ten days.

Everyone in the base, except Jiang Bing, went through a journey of curiosity, disappointment, curiosity again, observation, and disappointment, and finally lost interest in this device that rotated day and night.

Only Jiang Bing came to the device according to the time, watched the door device gradually stop, and then couldn't wait to climb up the platform and get into the cage made of metal pillars.

In Jiang Bing's eyes, a ball of light was floating in the empty center of the sphere.

As Jiang Bing reached out and grabbed the ball of light, the system immediately displayed a prompt.

System prompt: [Door Key] has been linked, authentication information is being uploaded, authentication passed.

Following the system's prompts, the light gradually faded and shrank, finally revealing the creature wrapped inside.

A crystal key, through its transparent surface one can see the endless starlight contained inside the key, flowing according to some mysterious rules.

Soon, the keys scattered into stars in the sky, but Jiang Bing was not panicked.

From the moment the two came into contact, they were already bound to each other at a higher level. The key turned into light, simply returning to its original essence, and could be condensed again at any time when needed.

At this point, the device beneath his feet, which had cost Jiang Bing nearly 400 million euros to build, had completed its mission. In other words, after nearly two months of garrisoning, Base No. 6's importance had finally returned to normal.

Gloria, who was trying to get close to Lucy by arranging work for her, suddenly received a message from her boss.

When she arrived at the entrance, Jiang Bing was loading [Power] into the car.

"The mission ends here. We no longer need so many people stationed here."

The sudden news surprised Chief Steward Gloria a little, but after calculating the time, it was indeed close to the two months that Jiang Bing had originally estimated.

"Are we finally going back? I'll let Mann and the others know later. They'll probably be very happy. After all, we've been out for so long, and Pyrrha has complained to me many times about wanting to go to the bar and get drunk."

Jiang Bing controlled the data tablet he carried with him and transferred the remaining commission from Mann's team to Gloria.

"I have to go on a long trip for something. Please settle the bill with Mann and the others. We also need to keep a few people here. You can decide on the specific arrangements. Should Mann and the others take over the shifts, or should they introduce new Edgewalkers? Remember, they must be trustworthy."

In the face of Mrs. Martinez's puzzled expression, Jiang Bing transferred another 100 million euros to her.

"You've done a great job these past two months. Even if I'm not here, you can take on the burden of being the middleman. This money will be used for future development. You take care of the accounts, and I'll come back to take a look."

"I've placed the Centaur armor in the innermost storage area. I've already given you access to the defense system. You can freely use the weapons and ammunition if you need them. Just keep good records."

Listening to Jiang Bing's words, which sounded like he was explaining his last wishes, Mrs. Martinez suddenly felt a little nervous for some reason.

"Boss, you're not planning on coming back now, are you?"

Jiang Bing loaded a box of bullets into the car and looked back at the young woman whose fate he had successfully changed.

The evening wind whistled across the vast sands of the Badlands.

There was a bustling sound coming from inside the tunnel. Jiang Bing knew without looking that it must be Rebecca and Haley fighting over snacks, or Pyrrha was talking nonstop into David's head full of dirty garbage, or Mann and Dolio were boxing, or Falco was making his best fried meat patties.

Looking at the Night City far away on his side, from this position, the huge Night City could only be seen with a few twinkling lights. Jiang Bing shook his head and answered Gloria in an affirmative tone.

"How is that possible? I just said hello to Night City. There's still a long way to go."

In order to find a stable source of goods for the company he was planning to build, Jiang Bing stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the vast new world.

Chapter 29 Arrival at the Port

After arranging the follow-up matters with Gloria, Jiang Bing drove away from Base No. 6.

The car sped across the Badlands and did not return to Night City, but instead found an abandoned town at random.

Such towns are ubiquitous in the Badlands, where increasing desertification and the depletion of natural resources have forced people to abandon their homes and businesses and migrate over the past few decades.

Jiang Bing drove around the town and finally found a garage with a rolling door.

After getting out of the car and looking around to make sure that there was no one around, Jiang Bing stretched out his hand forward. Countless tiny starlights came from all directions and gathered into the starlight key in Jiang Bing's hand.

【Door Key】

He stepped forward. Even though the transmitted knowledge explained in detail how to use it, Jiang Bing was still very excited as it was his first time using it.

With a nervous mood, I inserted the [door key] in my hand into the center of the garage shutter door in front of me, which had long been damaged. In the dim light, the [door key] gave a clear touch, as if it was really inserted into a keyhole.

Jiang Bing took a deep breath and gently turned the key to the right, with a click sound that echoed deep in his heart.

A door opens.

Countless streams of light spread from where the key was inserted, covering the entire rolling door, forming a starlight gate that enveloped the entire garage entrance.

Seeing this, Jiang Bing no longer hesitated, opened the door, got in the car, and drove into the light gate.

Through the rearview mirror, Jiang Bing saw that after Mackinaw Larrimore had completely entered, the [door key] was automatically pulled out, and the light door seemed to rewind and repeat the opening process, and then closed.

Behind the door is a huge square, and the starry sky above is constantly flowing in the endless universe, extremely gorgeous.

Jiang Bing had no intention of observing this beautiful scenery, as a wall of azure crystal blocked his way.

He was very sure that the wall suddenly appeared in front of his vehicle, so Jiang Bing had no choice but to get out of the car to check.

This crystal wall was very tall. In order to see the whole picture, Jiang Bing had to step back and look up.

But this action almost scared him so much that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

What blocked the car was not a wall, but a giant eye.

This eye has no eyelids, only an eyeball, which is completely azure blue, and the pupil is a pitch-black vertical pupil like a beast. The overall height is more than ten meters!

At this moment, the eye was floating quietly in the air, looking down at Jiang Bing.

Just when Jiang Bing was thinking about whether to go back to the car to get some useful tools.

An ethereal and distant voice seemed to come from the void and echoed in Jiang Bing's ears.

"A new visitor? Wait a moment while I check the records."

This voice, seemingly coming from the giant eyes in front of him, was unexpectedly kind.

As the pupils moved upwards, a huge book emerged in the void, and the pages were scrolling rapidly.

"Well, I found it."

His pupils moved downwards and his eyes turned back to Jiang Bing.

"Jiang Bing, from, uh, the login coordinates are plane HXXD-C2W33."

"Well"

The books in the void began to flip rapidly again, as if there was a new situation. His pupils moved up rapidly again, and after taking a look, he flipped the books down again as if he had discovered a new continent.

"No, you are from the Origin Star. You are a rare guest."

What's weird is that Jiang Bing actually saw a happy emotion in one of his eyes.

"He's a new member of the Craftsmen's Guild. Why didn't you tell me about this relationship earlier?"

The eyeballs turned, as if leading the way.

"I thought it was just an ordinary person who accidentally slipped in because the entrance was broken, but I didn't expect it to be an [Apprentice Craftsman]."

"Me? An ordinary person?!" Jiang Bing, who could tear a centaur apart with his bare hands and kill countless people in Night City, was about to retort, but then he saw An Jing's eyes, as big as Christopher Miller's villa, floating in front of him. He remained silent.

"I'm the Azure Vision, [Artisan Apprentice] Jiang Bing, welcome to the 'Port'. I'm the administrator here."

administrator!

Looking at the huge structure in front of him, Jiang Bing found it hard to imagine what kind of facility would require such an administrator.

"Since you've made it here successfully, I won't have to bother explaining many things to you."

Azure Vision led the way, and Jiang Bing almost stepped on the accelerator to 80 miles per hour before he could barely keep up.

"arrive."

The two stopped in front of a huge pillar that reached the sky.

The single eye of the Azure Vision emitted a faint blue light, forming a feather pen in the air. This feather pen wrote frantically on the book in the void, as if registering for Jiang Bing.

Suddenly, a star fell from the galaxy among the endless starlight in the sky, expanding into a huge square curtain in front of the two of them, and behind the curtain was a huge space.

At a glance, a car entered the space.

"This is your warehouse. It's a little small, but according to His rules, this warehouse is rent-free for members of the [Artisans Guild]. However, this is limited to this warehouse only. New warehouses will incur a fee."

The warehouse was extremely empty, and Jiang Bing had to almost crane his neck back to barely see the dome.

The words of the Blue Vision left him almost speechless.

"How big is this warehouse?" Jiang Bing asked.

"If converted to units you're familiar with, it's a cube with an edge length of 61.8034 meters."

This time, Azure Vision didn't flip through the book again and answered directly.

Jiang Bing simply calculated the approximate volume in his mind and came up with a dizzying number.

I'm used to being rich in the cyberpunk world, so it's quite uncomfortable to suddenly become poor.

Jiang Bing, with a slightly sour taste in his mouth, shouted in his heart: "Is a space of more than 230,000 cubic meters considered small?"

Azure Vision was writing rapidly in the large book, and without blinking, he replied, "It's indeed not big. It will be full if you put anything in it."

Jiang Bingchou pursed his lips in anger and suddenly realized.

"Can you hear what I'm saying?!"

At this moment, the Blue Vision finally turned its pupils to where Jiang Bing was standing. Although it did not speak, Jiang Bing seemed to be able to read its thoughts.

"Why is this customer such a fool?"

Fortunately, Jiang Bing quickly changed the subject with a new question.

"What do I need to rent a new warehouse?"

Then Jiang Bing's face shrank as if he had thought of something, and he asked himself in a very sad tone: "Ether?"

The azure vision should have completed the registration and dispersed the feather pen composed of light.

"Yes, and only in ether."

Looking at the pitifully small number of craftsman badges in the system interface, for some reason, Jiang Bing recalled the painful experience of being dominated by credits.

Azure Vision looked at Jiang Bing and said, "Registration is complete. Bring me your pass and I'll stamp it for you. You don't have to go through the square anymore. Otherwise, you'll have to register again every time, which is quite troublesome."

Jiang Bing called out the [Door Key], and only then did he notice that the starlight floating in the [Door Key] seemed to be much thinner.

A ray of blue starlight floated out from the body of the Azure Vision and merged into it.

"If this is a port, how do we set off and where is our destination?" Jiang Bing suddenly asked as if he had thought of something.

This time, Jiang Bing could even see the expression on the blue eyes.

All I can say is that they are indeed extraordinary creatures, and their expressiveness far exceeds that of ordinary people.

"How dare you come here without the plane coordinates? I really don't know how you passed the exam to become an [Apprentice Craftsman]."

Azure Vision muttered, God knows how Jiang Bing heard this emotion from the ethereal and distant telepathy.

"Without the plane coordinates, you can only choose to randomly find a station. Anyway, the [Portkey] can record the plane coordinates. As long as you have been there once, you don't have to worry about losing the way."

"As for departure, do you really think this is the port you mentioned? We are now in the void between planes. Time and distance are meaningless here. In other words, since you can board the ship at any time, you can also disembark at any time at the 'port'."

Having said that, the Blue Vision turned his gaze towards the [Key] in Jiang Bing's hand.

"You just stick it in where you think the door is and twist it to open the cabin door."

As if remembering something again, the Azure Vision emitted a faint blue light, forming a feather pen in the air. However, this time the content might be more, and the writing speed was so fast that afterimages appeared.

"I haven't used it for a long time. I almost forgot. According to His rules, all your boat tickets are free before you reach the starry sky."

Having said that, the blue vision took a close look at Jiang Bing.

"I have to say He really takes good care of you. Just this one thing can save you a huge amount of money."
