Chapter 78 Kabukicho.
Jack Wells learned that the”iguana” was originally intended to be used to build a relationship with the”priest” to solve the”vehicle license” and”deter” Faraday. Unexpectedly, the”priest” actually gave Jack a high price of 20,000 euros. You know, no matter how rare and precious the”iguana” is, it is a”black product” after all, and it is a”military technology” black product. It is not easy to sell, and it is like a hot potato in your hand.
And the price of 20,000 euros is not low. In Night City, where the average income of ordinary people is only 70 or 80 euros, the purchasing power of 20,000 euros is enough to buy a very”wow” second-hand luxury car, or install a very powerful military kidney.
“Ali, you know what? I thought the”priest” was being kind, but I received a message earlier that he sold the”iguana” for 300,000 euros.”
“Holy shit, that’s three hundred thousand. Old Jack has worked hard in Night City for so many years, but he has never had so much money in his pocket. The”priest” is really awesome. He made more money than my buddy can make in half a lifetime.”
“By the way, Ali, guess who the”priest” sold the”iguana” that we brothers got to?”
“Who to sell to?”
“Arasaka Yorinobu! Holy shit, do you know how shocked I was to hear this news? That fucking Arasaka prince actually sneaked into our Night City!”
“It is said that he flew here from the headquarters in Tokyo, Japan some time ago. I heard that he has no intention of leaving this time. This guy has decided to stay and develop in Night City for a long time. I guess Night City is going to be in unrest again recently!”
“You know, after all,”a new official has three big moves to make,” and recently”Arasaka” may be making some big moves again. Your sister may have to worry about it. After all, the”new official” is Arasaka Yorinobu, and I heard that this guy is not a quiet person in”Tokyo”!”
“Damn it, brother Ali, why can’t I be the kind of person who can spend money at any time? You know, that’s 300,000 euros.”
“Although the”Money” is cute and pleasing, and I like it very much, the price of 300,000 Euros is too high.”
Jack Wells was still mumbling. He seemed to be making fun of the extravagance of these”rich people”, but in fact, Ali understood that he was making fun of the 300,000 Euros that did not go into his pocket.
Soon Jack transferred the 10,000 Euros from the sale of the”Iguana” to Ali’s account. The money issue was a small matter. The most important thing was that Ali learned from Jack that”Arasaka Yorinobu” had come to Night City at the end of 2075.
Soon Ali and Jack Wells returned to Misty’s psychic house. With Ali’s introduction, Jack also learned that the”well-behaved” girl just now was called Lucy. She is also Ali’s girlfriend, and at the same time, she is the illegal immigrant that they need to”apply for a certificate” for this time. Now that everyone is here, they are ready to set off, but Jack told Ali not to worry, because he came by car in a hurry, and then the car was left at the intersection with no one to take care of it.
Now that they have to go out to do some business, it is unknown how long it will take, so the car needs to be driven over and parked in a safe place to avoid having the wheels unloaded and sold for money when they come back after they are done.
So Ali asked Lucy to wait in Misty’s shop for a while, and he followed Jack out to take care of the car in advance, which would not take much time.
“You have good vision, brother Ali. Who would have thought that the younger brother of an Arasaka minister-level leader would find an Arasaka wanted criminal as his girlfriend.”
On the way to the intersection, Jack Wells secretly gave Ali a thumbs up, but was glared back by Ali:”Speak less, Jack, Lucy doesn’t know about my sister yet.”
“She has been on the run for a long time to avoid being hunted by Arasaka, and has suffered psychological trauma. I plan to wait for a while, until she has a few days of peace and quiet before confessing to her.”
“Yes, brother A Li, you think too much. It turns out that we are compatible. I appreciate this about you. No matter how crazy and chaotic Night City is, there is always a little”love” hidden in our hearts.””
“Hahaha, there is nothing more romantic than”having love in your heart” in Night City.”
Jack Wells laughed and patted Ali’s shoulder. He could see that Lucy was a good girl, but also a pitiful girl, because her eyes were always full of vigilance and exuded an aura of”keeping people out”.
But it was her luck that she met Ali. After all, Jack Wells recognized Ali’s”character” and”strength”. Ali would definitely bring warmth to that girl, because Ali had the heart and the ability.
“It’s almost there. The armored vehicle now will definitely surprise you. Yesterday, I asked some friends from the factory to modify it severely, and it has been modified until now!”
“Miguel helped to modify it. It has military-grade thick armor, super-grip tires, a hard frame, and a”loud” and aggressive engine. Damn, now our car can withstand even rockets. It’s absolutely awesome!”
“Of course, there is also a mysterious spray paint made by me, Jack Wells, designed specifically for”us”. A big surprise that is”cool” and has a little”style” is waiting for you. Come on, buddy, you will like it.”
“”Okay, I’ll wait and see.”
Jack and Ali quickened their pace and soon saw the armored vehicle. Just as Jack said, the whole vehicle was modified to be”like a new car”.
The majestic appearance, clean and polished body, thick protective shell, several large metal wheels flashed cold light in the sun, and the body was sprayed with a”double gun” pattern. It was impossible to tell that this was once an armored vehicle driven by a”night wanderer” on the”evil land” and eaten all the wind and sand!
“Look here!”
Jack Wells pointed to the”double gun pattern” painted on the car body. Ali walked in and saw that it was a pattern composed of two crossed guns, one of which was Ali’s”Maloryan Overture” and the other was Jack’s
“”Golden Bitch”!
The silver and gold colors are interwoven, and the painting is quite exquisite. The two crossed guns are combined into”X”The”iron chain” hanging on each other’s triggers tightly entangles the two weapons together.
Only when the”two guns” are combined together can such a beautiful pattern be formed. Without any one of them, the pattern will become ordinary.
“Two guns combined, invincible!”
“This represents our friendship, and also represents that the two of us brothers will definitely become the most powerful figures in Night City and become legends known throughout the world!”
“Yes, Jack, we will all become big shots, now and in the future.”
Jack Wells laughed heartily, and Ali also curled his lips when looking at the”two guns” pattern. He was in a good mood, and it would be a lie to say that he was not moved.
Ali could see that Jack Wells had indeed put a lot of thought into this pattern.
He could imagine the distressed look on Jack’s face as he squatted in front of the blank car board last night and racked his brains.
It was no wonder that he was so busy that he came here so late.
Then the two drove the car to the paid parking lot, which was much safer than the roadside.
At least there were several turrets guarding this parking lot.
Ordinary street thugs would only steal cars here unless they were crazy.
As time went by, the two brothers who had finished their work returned to Misty’s psychic house. They picked up Lucy, and the three of them set out for Night City, the”Kabukicho” area with strong Japanese elements.
Speaking of the”Watson District” , Kabukicho is quite famous here. It is known as the”black city center” where you can buy anything you want.
This is the third most chaotic place in Night City, except for the”Bad Land” and”Taipingzhou”. Originally, the”Kabuki District” was once the pride of Japanese medical companies in Watson District.
It has a famous medical center, and the whole area is prosperous because of it, but now, other companies have either been destroyed by the”Arasaka Group” or forced to move to the other side of the bay, which has also led to the”Kabuki District” becoming the poorest neighborhood in Night City (excluding”Taipingzhou” and”Bad Land”, we refer to the areas that are still in operation, and these two places are already in a”abandoned” state).
But what Night City lacks the least is people. The”Kabuki District” was soon filled with scattered Chinese again, and later evolved into a dark underground market.
“Kabukicho looks different during the day and at night. During the day, at first glance, the narrow and crisscrossed alleys of Kabukicho are full of grocery stores. They are second-hand stores that sell some inferior cosmetics and cheap goods. Each stall is decorated with Chinese lanterns and flashing neon lights. It looks ordinary and you can’t get any good stuff.
But if you visit at night, you can get a glimpse of the other side of the block. After nightfall, the Kabuki district is the black market center of Night City. Implants
, organs, combat drugs, cyber components, steroids, synthetic viruses, dream records, etc., can all be bought as long as you have the right location and seller information.
It is said that there are several black clinics operating in hidden basements or back rooms in”Kabukicho”. They install prototype cyber components made by illegal military technology groups.
These people claim that their prostheses come from laboratories in Chiba City or biological clinics in Scandinavia. In fact, they all come from”Kabukicho, the center of the black market” in Night City.
If you���If you hire a street thug who knows the area well, he will warn you to be careful when buying goods of unknown origin.
Because some black market merchants’ goods are provided by”scavengers”, those creepy bastards are the most despicable scum in the area. They will keep a close eye on ignorant tourists, drag them to the basement for dissection, and then resell the implants and organs to the shameless”Kabuki District” prosthetic doctors and various vendors.
“Well, that’s probably the law of survival in the urban jungle.”
For ordinary people, Kabukicho is one of the few places where they can”spend little money to do big things” and”shop for treasures”. Although it is full of dangers,”danger always comes with opportunities”, right?
For”wanted criminals” and”hooligans”, Kabukicho is their most important den for spending money. Many shameful”stolen goods” and”black goods” can be sold here. No one here will look down on your goods. As long as you are willing to give up some”benefits”, they will always accept them all!
In short, the population of the entire Kabukicho area is very high. The area is very dense, except for the warehouses in the north and the abandoned factories occupied by various gangs, temporary workers and drug addicts.
Besides the”Scavengers”, the most famous gangs here are the”Tiger Claws”, who are still active in the neighborhood, and the”Whirlpools” from the”North Industrial Zone”.
Their members always hang out in groups in the”Kabukicho” area, but none of them dare to claim control of the”Kabuki District”.
This power vacuum has also provided a foothold for another local gang, the”Mox Gang””，”The Mox Gang is small and exquisite, and they are based in the”Lizzie Bar”.
At the same time, the”Lizzie Bar” is also one of the most popular”Super Dream Experience” clubs and”brothels” in the entire”Kabuki District”. These two businesses are under the jurisdiction of the”Mox Gang”
“Look, that’s the Mox Gang!”
On the way to find the certificate master”Toyo No. 1″, they passed by the”Lizzie Bar”. Jack Wells, like a”guide”, kindly introduced to Ali and the others the”Mox Gang” members who were squatting outside the door and responsible for”security”.
Ali naturally knew this place. The famous”lesbian” and dream master in Night City, the beautiful”Judy Alvarez” who only likes to have sex with”girls”, worked there.
In fact, Ali really wanted to meet”Judy”. After all, he played”Female V” in the game. I think no one should hate the scene of”Female V” and Judy sticking to each other.
But now is not the right time. They must first help Lucy get the”resident certificate”. They will have to spend more time looking for a house to live in later.
Soon, under the leadership of Jack Wells, they turned left and right and came to the deep end of the alley, to the hidden residence of the”certificate issuing master – the first class in Japan” introduced by the”priest”.
But as soon as they arrived at the door, they felt something was wrong. There were traces of dragging, and the lock on the door was pried open. When they walked into the house, it was a mess.
The overturned tables and chairs, and there were spots of blood on the ground. Judging from the amount of bleeding, it should not be caused by a knife or a gun. Someone should have been beaten and dragged away here, and his life or death is unknown.
“You… who are you?”
It seemed that he heard���There was a noise, and a little boy with a limp and an implant on his entire leg staggered out of the room, holding a cheap pistol made of”plastic” using 3D printing technology from”Affordable Firepower” that could be easily purchased from a”weapon vending machine” on the street.
“I’m warning you…don’t mess around…I’m not afraid of you!”
“Hurry up and give my”dad” back to me… I have a gun! Don’t force me to shoot!”
The gun in the little boy’s hand was shaking, and his face was full of moisture after”crying”. It was obvious that he was just threatening everyone in a”harsh voice”.
Ali looked over and saw that the so-called”gun” in his hand was called an”automatic slaughter machine”. It was a disposable firearm with extremely low power and could not be reloaded, but it was particularly suitable for emergency use.
This is a weapon that can be seen and bought everywhere by the citizens of Night City. You can even look through the trash can and maybe pick up this”weapon” for free.
Because this disposable pistol has too many limitations, it will be scrapped after the last bullet is fired, and the bullet jam If the shell is broken, you might also be broken if the barrel explodes, so most people just use it to satisfy their desire and then throw it directly into the trash.
Because it can be bought at most”weapon vending machines” on the street, and the price is not much more expensive than a can of Coca-Cola.
The reason can be seen at a glance. It uses the cheapest plastic, which is not only easily melted by the sun, but also prone to jamming and malfunctioning.
If you encounter an inexperienced person, the huge recoil can break his wrist. Of course, the main function of a gun is to kill people. As long as you are lucky enough, the”automatic slaughter machine” can also do some physical work.
“Man, our”certificate master” seems to be in trouble and has been kidnapped!”
“I know, so I wonder who dared to kidnap the”priest.””
Lucy was silent at the door. Anyway, with Ali and Jack Wells there, she didn’t need to be a hacker to deal with these problems.
Of course, none of the three of them would care about the threat of the little boy. After all, everyone present had walked on the edge of a knife, killed people, and seen blood. How could they care about a child and the”plastic toy gun” in his hand?
“Ali, what about this little guy?”
Jack Wells looked at Ali, and Ali came to the boy and said,”I advise you not to shoot, your wrist can’t bear the recoil.”
“Also, we are not here to cause trouble for you, tell me, where did the”First Class of Dongying” go?”
