For the same price, I prioritize selling to Wagako, after all, I'm following her commission.
It depends on your connections and how well you can sell this data, highest bidder wins, I think it's fair.
Also, remember to keep the immune agent matter confidential for now—I'm telling you the ins and outs of biotechnology so you won't accidentally step on a landmine later, not to cause trouble with what I have to do."
Rogue snorted at these words: "Do I still need you to remind me? If I really wanted to sell you out, you'd be with Arasaka by now having tea with Silver Hand in the Divine Chariot."
"Then I definitely have to thank you for not turning completely into a heartless corporate lapdog, sending an open-hearted truth-teller like me straight to hell," Mercer's speaking style made Rogue squint slightly.
This damn Mercer always reminded her of some bastards she knew in her youth.
Not just one person in particular—it was more like a synthesis.
Both lovable and detestable.
"I'm going out to have drinks with my friends, hit me up if there's any news, I'm always around."
When Mercer finished speaking, Rogue waved impatiently: "Go on, every time we chat, it starts well, middle part's not bad, but I always want to punch you by the end."
"Haha~ you're definitely not the first to think that, and won't be the last." Mercer waved back at her, then casually strolled out with hands in pockets.
But Rogue called him back: "Listen, stop with the modifications, kid, you're still young, no need to rush."
"As long as the direction is right, walking faster isn't so bad either." Mercer shrugged and strode away.
Rogue was silent for a moment, then just sighed: "Why am I always getting mixed up with these arrogant assholes in my life..."
But after a while, she couldn't help but smile.
It's actually a good thing to still encounter someone like Mercer in her lifetime.
At least when talking to him, Rogue always forgot she was now the Queen of Rebirth, and felt like she was back in those days.
Moreover...
Compared to that asshole Silver Hand, Mercer is much easier on the eyes.
...
When Mercer returned to the bar counter, he found that the long bar table was almost full.
V and the others were still sitting in their original seats, and next to V sat a burly man.
This man was muscular and tall, with dark skin, his prosthetic eye had been directly modified into tactical goggles, making him look like he was wearing sunglasses, just that these sunglasses flashed red prosthetic eye lights at the eyes.
This type of tactical goggle prosthetic eye modification wasn't just for looks, but a combination of multiple tactical functions.
In fact, Qilu Company developed this type of prosthetic eye decades ago, its built-in 'anti-flash', 'thermal scan' functions are still very useful combat prosthetic eye configurations to this day.
Mercer thought, the integrated functions in this man's tactical goggles must be more rather than less, because this is, after all, the 'military prosthetic eye' not for sale by Military Science.
"Hello, you must be A, I am Mann." That man was also sizing up Mercer.
Even though Mercer didn't seem tall, his physique appeared a bit disproportionate, but Mann, with years of experience in the special forces, could tell that this guy in front of him was absolutely a highly skilled hacker.
The reason his upper body seemed broad was definitely because it was equipped with specialized cooling implants, and those blue eyes were definitely not the 'pupil shape' ordinary prosthetic eyes can modulate, the left wrist being thicker than the right clearly suggested a single molecule line...
"Hello." Mercer's face behind the mask showed a slight smile, as he stretched out his hand after Mann extended his.
Could it be that even anime characters could be attracted to each other?
"I'm Dolio."
A woman with a similarly very strong build next to Mann, wearing a jacket widely open over her chest, with only slight concealment of details by implants inside, also smiled at Mercer, extending an arm thicker than his thigh.
Dolio had short yellow hair, looking heroic, with a dashing aura, truth be told, at first glance, whether from attire or impression, she seemed more like a tough guy.
Mercer also extended his hand and lightly shook hers: "A, nice to meet you."
"And me! Just call me Sasha~ Hehe, it's been so long since I've met a capable hacker at Rebirth, I didn't expect your team to have three!
This setup is too extravagant, any average Voodoo Gang would have to turn and run upon seeing you guys."
A girl with pretty bobbed hair peeked out from behind Dolio, she had almost been completely hidden by Dolio's broad frame.
At this moment, Sasha smiled at Mercer, her features were delicate and cute, her smile gave the impression of an adorable lively kitten.
"A, or you can call me Mercer, captain of Spark Team."
Mercer lightly shook her hand and sat between V and Rebecca.
"How did the conversation start?"
Mercer curiously looked at V.
V answered cheerfully: "Just started chatting sitting next to each other, what other way... Don't give him soda, here, Mercer, try our sisters' whiskey."
Mercer took the whiskey handed to him with no expression, then unceremoniously mixed a cup of soda into it.
