"What are your plans for the future? Will these technologies bring you danger?" Lao Wei showed some worry on his face.
"Maybe, that's why I chose to hide first.
As for my plans, I'll just take it one step at a time. First, I'll make money from the pharmaceuticals. Only with capital can I compete with the big companies."
"Are you sure you've thought this through? These companies are deeply entrenched. It's not easy to take root and thrive under their control. A person's abilities are ultimately limited, and you might even lose your life."
Corporations control the world, like a shadow that hangs over our heads.
Even a legend like Johnny Silverhand could only blow up Arasaka Tower, nothing more. He was unable to damage its very foundations, as evidenced by the towering Arasaka Tower in Night City.
Feeling Lao Wei's concern for him, Rocky smiled slightly.
"Don't worry, I won't die. And I'm not alone. I still have you. You'll help me, right?"
"Haha, you kid. When you really need me, I will naturally help you. But I am also old, fighting and killing are not suitable for me."
Hearing that Rocky was targeting him, Lao Wei smiled helplessly. However, if Rocky really needed him, he would naturally not refuse.
Victor was able to transform from a legendary boxer into a cyborg doctor, so he must have unique talents.
Even giants like biotech companies have extended an olive branch to him, offering him generous conditions in the hope that he will join the company.
It's just that Lao Wei was not willing to work for the company and just wanted to live a simple life, so he did not respond.
If Lao Wei could join Rocky's team in the future and provide support for Rocky's technical research, it would be a powerful help. Rocky naturally didn't want to let it go.
"I feel relieved with your words.
Come, and salute a bright future."
Rocky and Lao Wei chatted a lot more while drinking drinks instead of alcohol.
After his strength had almost recovered, Rocky said goodbye to Lao Wei.
After leaving the clinic, Rocky took out a type 1 stimulant on his way home.
He tossed it twice in his hand, then pushed out the needle and injected it directly into the body.
'Wow, this thing is really cool'
Feeling his condition recovering rapidly, Rocky quickened his pace and walked towards the apartment.
After returning to the apartment and taking a shower, Rocky sat in front of the computer terminal, checking the distribution and order information of the prosthetic clinic.
At this time, most of the clinics have sent in their second batch of orders.
This time, there has been a significant increase in both the ordering clinics and the order quantity.
The transaction amount reached 200,000 euros, which was a very critical transaction for Rocky.
After entering the clinic's location, the quantity of stimulants ordered, and payment information into a chip, Rocky opened his address book and made a call.
...
North City Industrial Zone.
Long Beach North.
In an apartment, Rebecca had just finished taking a shower and was drying her hair with a towel.
Different from her usual twin ponytail style, Rebecca's long hair is loose at this time, giving people a gentle and lovely feeling.
Of course this is just an illusion.
"Buzz..."
As the call reminder sounded in Rebecca's ears, Rebecca's attention was focused on the communication interface.
"Eh? Who's calling at this hour? Is that the prosthetic doctor? Why is he calling me?"
Rebecca was a little confused, but still answered the phone.
"Hello, is this the cybernetic doctor L from Japan Street? What can I do for you?"
"Ms. Rebecca, are you free now? Would it be convenient for me to come to the Wild Wolf Bar in the Valley area?"
Rocky's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Huh? No way, I didn't expect that a gentle-looking cyborg doctor like you would like my type?
But I think your dating skills are too poor. It is not a wise decision to go to a bar for the first time to ask a girl out.
Or are you just like those idiots who only think with their lower body?"
Rebecca used a series of moves in a teasing tone to silence Rocky on the other side.
Pira, who was listening to music and concentrating on studying technology, suddenly felt as if someone was talking about her. She turned off the music and looked around.
"Rebecca, did you call me just now?"
"No, get lost."
"oh."
Pyrrha scratched his head in confusion, but when he couldn't find the answer, he turned on the music and went back to his own business.
Rocky on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, then spoke.
"Rebecca, you misunderstood. I just have a commission for you, and I wanted to invite you to the Wild Wolf Bar to discuss it in detail."
"Eh? You have a commission for me? Why me? Mann is the team leader. You should go find him."
Rebecca knew that she had misunderstood him, but she was still a little confused.
"I'm not quite sure about the relationship between your team, but this commission isn't complicated and doesn't require too many people."
"Um...Okay then, Wild Wolf Bar, right? I'll be there later."
After thinking about it, Rebecca decided to go and see what the commission was.
Rebecca is not a core figure in Mann's team, and usually performs simpler tasks, such as bait, distraction, delaying time, etc.
It can be said that based on the current situation, Rebecca is like the mascot of Mann's team.
Now, she can even be blown away by the recoil of Mann's shotgun. She is completely different from Rebecca in the future who will spray iron galls with recoil four times greater than that of ordinary shotguns.
It was not until her brother and Manndolio died one after another that she changed and began to undergo prosthetic transformation. She took on the heavy responsibility of fighting in David's team and fought side by side with David.
Now someone has commissioned her to do something on her own, and since she has nothing to do these days, she naturally wants to earn some extra money.
After drying her hair, tying it into two ponytails again, and putting on a black jacket, Rebecca started to head to the Wild Wolf Bar.
And in the apartment on the other side.
After hanging up the phone, Rocky couldn't help feeling a little headache.
Although he had originally wanted to use the commission to strengthen his relationship with Rebecca, he was still a little embarrassed to be mistaken for a pervert who asked girls out to the bar.
...
Valley area.
Wild Wolf Bar.
In the private room on the second floor.
Rocky drank his wine, put his feet on the table, and began to wait for Rebecca to arrive.
The door of the private room was pushed open.
The person who came was Jack instead of Rebecca.
"L, I just got here, and Pepi told me you were here. Why didn't you tell me?"
Jack sat next to Rocky and casually picked up a glass of wine on the table and gulped it down.
Rocky didn't expect that Jack would come here too, but it was normal when he thought about it. Coming here was like going home for Jack.
Rocky went to Wild Wolf tonight to discuss a commission with Rebecca, so naturally he didn't inform Jack.
"Jack, I had an appointment with someone today to discuss some business, so I didn't invite you. I'll treat you to a drink next time."
"I see. I was wondering why you would forget your brothers when you wanted to drink."
Just then the door of the private room was pushed open again, and the person who came in was Rebecca.
