"Thanks, brother."
V was originally a little worried that if Rocky was unwilling to take on this business, things would become more troublesome.
Fortunately, Rocky accepted the commission.
After discussing the details of the mission with Rocky and Jack, V left Lizzie's Bar.
There are still many things that need to be arranged in advance regarding the follow-up conclusion of this mission, and V dare not delay any longer.
"L, I thought you would refuse."
At this time, Jack and Rocky were the only two people left in the box. Jack took a sip of wine and said.
"What? You don't want to take this job? This is a big deal."
Rocky naturally knew what Jack was thinking, just like in the future when V wanted to entrust Jack to assassinate Abernathy, but Jack refused him.
Like most cyberpunks in Night City, Jack hates and despises corporations and doesn't want to work for them.
Just as Jack said, you have to live for yourself, this is the only way out. Jack has always adhered to this.
"No, I just feel that getting involved with the company will never end well." Jack shook his head.
"But he is your brother, isn't he?" Rocky raised the wine on the table and drank it all, teasing with a smile.
"Yes, he is my brother. But I always thought that he sold his soul to Arasaka.
It sounds good to say he wants to get to the top. But above him is that idiotic Jenkins, and above Jenkins is Saburo Arasaka. He will never get to the top.
"Hey, maybe. Don't be too pessimistic."
Rocky comforted the grumbling Jack and continued.
"Jack, what would you do if one day I became what everyone calls a corporate dog?"
"Why are you thinking about this? What does your opening of a clinic have to do with the company?"
"I'm serious, and I don't think it will be long."
Hearing that Rocky's tone didn't sound like a joke, Jack, who had been indifferent, turned his head to look at Rocky, paused for a moment, and seemed to be really thinking about this issue again.
"Hey, what else can I do? This isn't the first time I've dealt with corporate scoundrels.
Come on, there's no point in talking about this, just think about how to complete the task."
Jack interrupted the chat and said that this mission was not that simple. If they didn't really want to die, it was necessary to make a detailed plan.
...
"Forging an identity, booking a room, and then hacking into the target room, all the plans you mentioned are what hackers do. So where are our hackers?" Jack asked a soul-searching question.
After a long discussion, the two of them had a preliminary execution plan, but to complete a task of this level, hackers were indispensable.
But there were no hackers in their team. Although Rocky had learned hacking knowledge, he had not installed a network access warehouse and was obviously not competent.
And with his level, it can be said that he is completely not capable of invading their system in the Ganbi Building.
Normally, the hackers commissioned by the two were introduced temporarily by middlemen, but this time there was obviously no middleman involved.
"Good question, Jack. You hit the nail on the head. We both know how thick Arasaka's ICE is.
We need more than just a hacker, we need a high-level hacker with exceptional skills who dares to touch Arasaka ICE. So, what do you have in mind?"
Rocky decided to first see what Jack's goals and ideas were. If Rocky were to decide, there would indeed be a target candidate.
That is Lucy. As a hacker trained by Arasaka, Lucy not only has outstanding technical skills and talent, but is also very familiar with Arasaka's ICE.
This also gave her an extra advantage in dealing with Arasaka's systems. This was also an important reason why she could easily sneak deep into Tanaka's system to search for data in Edgewalker, and at the same time burn the brains of Arasaka's agents who copied and tracked down intelligence.
It can be said that Lucy is quite suitable for this mission, and considering Lucy's hatred for Arasaka, Rocky believes that she will not refuse the commission to carry out the Yellow Arasaka cooperation project.
"What can I think? This question should be asked to you. Don't you often tinker with hacking techniques? You should know a lot of hackers."
Jack spread his hands to indicate that he had no idea.
"I wouldn't say I know her, but I do know a hacker who's very familiar with Arasaka, has good skills, and might be interested in this business venture. It might just take some time to find her, but I can't guarantee she'll be able to join."
Rocky expressed his thoughts.
Jack nodded after hearing Rocky's description.
"If you put it that way, she's a good candidate indeed. But that reminds me of a hacker I know who's one of the best in Night City. I've never worked with her, but everyone in the underworld knows she's one of the best hackers in Night City."
"You mean Tbug, right?"
"Yes, that's her."
Tbug's skills are indeed top-notch in Night City, and he has a very good reputation in the mercenary circle. He is indeed a good choice.
After thinking about it, Rocky decided to try to recruit Lucy first.
Apart from satisfying their own selfish desires, Rocky and Jack have never cooperated with either Lucy or Tbug. In comparison, finding Tbug is no easier than finding Lucy.
"Let me try to recruit my candidates first. If I can't reach an agreement, I'll go find Tbug."
"Then you have to hurry up, time is running out."
"I know."
Having made the decision, the two decided not to stay in the bar any longer. Many of the remaining plans needed to be finalized after communicating with the hacker, so there was no point in staying here.
After saying goodbye to Jack, Rocky rode his motorcycle to his clinic.
It was not difficult for Rocky to find Lucy. He had Rebecca's contact information. He just needed to call her and he would know where Lucy was.
What Rocky didn't expect was that when he returned to the open space in front of the clinic, he saw Rebecca drinking among the cheerful crowd.
Another glance over, Mann, Dolio, Pira, Falco, Qiwei, and Lucy were all there. It seemed that they had caught up with them to celebrate team building.
Now I don't even have to make a phone call.
"I want a drink like hers."
After parking the car, Rocky came to the mobile drive-through bar where Rebecca was and sat next to her.
Rebecca also noticed Rocky at this time. She seemed a little surprised by his appearance, but also seemed happy about his arrival.
"Hey, L, why are you here? I just went to your clinic and wanted to ask you out for a drink, but I found out it was closed." Rebecca said with a smile.
During the few days I've known Rebecca, Rebecca's team has also come to the restaurant.
The last time Rebecca went to the clinic to chat with Rocky, she brought some wine, but Rocky was busy.
Rebecca watched him perform the operation until he finished and then went out for a drink with him.
Unexpectedly, Rocky's clinic was closed this time. Now Rocky appeared in front of her again, which made her feel the joy of regaining what she had lost.
