Chapter 206 Unexpected Property(1/2)
There is a surprise in the computers of the scavengers.
【Prosthetic Body Illustrated Book】.
This document clearly and in detail records many of the various prosthetics in Night City.
It not only includes various categories, but also includes introductions of low-end to high-end models, what areas are these models generally popular in, and how much can they sell for?
It can be said to be the industry's internal guidance for scavengers.
Various types and levels are available. The categories are clear, such as hand prostheses, operating systems, circulatory systems, frontal cortex... Detailed information and information on all body parts are available.
Bai Ye also saw the prosthetic plug-in that he had sold to Dr. Victor in this list. The amount was about the same as the price of the scavengers. Dr. Victor was really a kind person.
What attracted Bai Ye's greatest attention was, of course, the top-level prosthetic configurations. There were a large number of A-level and even higher-level super prosthetics, some of which Bai Ye had never even heard of.
For example, his "Beast Rage" belongs to the category of prosthetics of the operating system. Prosthetics of the same level as his, incomplete statistics include "Qiandusi Safestan Type 4", "Crow Micro Control Type 4",
"Arasaka Type 4", "Ripple Type 4" and other large numbers of prosthetic bodies, there are far more than Byakuya knows!
There are even many things that Bai Ye has never heard of. It is an absolutely new field for him.
For example, just for the circulatory system, Class A prostheses include "bioplastic blood vessels", "synthetic lung lobes", "accessory heart"... and other artificial organs and functions.
Bai Ye has never even thought about these things, not to mention seeing them before.
Bai Ye had a feeling at this time that although he had been in the City of Night for some time, it was only now that he truly understood the true face of this city.
I learned that there are still a large number of powerful prosthetics in this city. And these things may very well appear in a stranger you pass by without knowing it.
Bai Ye was in a complicated mood and put the document away.
The things in this file are of considerable reference value to him, and he has gained a lot of knowledge through this thing. When facing many scenes in the future, he can also compare the contents in this file to identify
True prosthetic value.
In addition, Bai Ye also saw an important file in their computer. That was about the lost "Beast Fury" prosthetic body.
This group of scavengers was quite dissatisfied with this. There were originally a total of six people in their small group, and one of them was the person who was accidentally injured and died by cyberpsychosis in the basement garage while holding an important prosthetic body that day.
For the scavengers, not only did their companions die, but more importantly, the prosthetic body was lost. They had already made a promise to send their harvest to the scavenger superiors that day.
Bai Ye saw a call message record.
[Superior: What's going on? You agreed to hand over "Beast Fury" to me this morning, why haven't they arrived yet? Are you kidding me?
Leader of the small group: I don’t know! We sent the most reliable person there, and they set off two hours ago. They should have arrived.
Superior: Stop doing this and give me the things as soon as possible, otherwise all of your waists will be broken and you will not be able to compensate for my losses.
Small group leader: We will contact you right away... as soon as possible! Don't worry, boss.
Small group leader: ...Boss, we have bad news.
Superior: Pay attention to your message. If "Beast Fury" is lost, everyone in your group will be buried with it.
Small group leader: Our members couldn't be contacted for any reason. I sent others to look for him and found him dead in the underground garage. I don't know who had taken the contents of the box.
Leader of the small group: It seems that that guy is unlucky enough to suffer from cyberpsychosis. Cyberpsychiatry doesn’t matter who he is or what background he has that he cannot afford to offend.
Superior:... Damn, you idiots.
Superior: I'm going to kill you all! That's a "beast rage"! Do you know how much this is worth!!
&¥……%*&*……& (a large amount of foul language)
Leader of the small group: Boss, don’t be anxious. We will definitely get that thing back, you have to believe in us.
Superior: Looking for it? How to find it? The thing is in your hands. You pigheads can even lose that good thing. Now tell me, can you find it back?
Leader of the small group: I will contact my fellow scavengers with whom I have a better relationship, and we will look for someone together. And I also have some clues. I heard that the middleman Regina Jones has been interfering in cyberpsychosis matters recently. This is for sure
Inseparable from her.
Superior: ...I'll give you three days. If you can't find it, I'll sell all your parts to make up for my losses.
Small group leader: I promise.]
Bai Ye read this conversation record and had a clear idea.
As expected, the "Beast Fury" was not just a prosthetic body that this small group of scavengers could eat. They were transported by people who were higher up in helping the scavengers.
After messing up, they notified other small groups of scavengers and asked them to help find prosthetics for them.
Bai Ye knew in his heart that the trouble he faced was not over yet. These scavengers would definitely continue to search.
As long as their immediate boss is alive, they will keep tracking them and causing trouble for him.
Bai Ye thought for a while, he didn't want to be attacked by the scavenger while he was doing the task, and ended up being pinched in the waist.
That's not a nice experience.
The best way is to strike first!
Bai Ye was thinking about it. He was searching the computer data of the scavengers. There should be information about where other scavengers have been stationed for a long time.
This level of information exchange should still exist among scavengers. Otherwise, how do their immediate superiors monitor and direct their work?
If the structure is really extremely loose, their "beast rage" will most likely be swallowed by itself.
Hard work paid off. After a period of continuous searching, Bai Ye finally found the contact address of the scavengers.
【bite--】
[You cleaned up a scavenger's lair and alerted the surrounding neighborhood gangs. Many people applauded your deeds. ]
【Your street reputation increases!】
[Your current street reputation level: lv11 (quite prestigious)]
Bai Ye didn't expect that cleaning up the scavenger's lair would actually improve his street reputation.
Originally, I just wanted to search for some loot, but now I had no intention of doing anything.
He looked at his street reputation level. At this time, he had become lv11, which was quite prestigious.
At this level, many people should already know his name on the streets.
In the same way, the scavenger gang will hate themselves even more.
[You found a map of the Scavenger Base branch.]
In front of Bai Ye, unfold a map with flashing light spots. On the map of Night City, the scavenger's base flashes.
In this spot in the river valley, the light spots are gradually dimming. This means that this place has been cleared and is no longer the territory of scavengers.
Bai Ye looked at the map. At this time, there were still three shining spots. Two of them were in the industrial area, and one was also in the river valley.
Three places form a triangle shape.
The sphere of influence of these scavengers is really large, and they can actually have so many bases. Moreover, this is only a part of them.
Bai Ye could clearly see the conversation between the scavenger leader and his superiors. They only contacted a few branches with which they had a good relationship. Others had not yet contacted for help.
In other words, the four bases in this map are just a small part of the scavengers.
However, this did not change Bai Ye's mind. He still wanted to kill all these scavenger bases.
On the one hand, after getting rid of all these people, they will not bother you anymore.
On the other hand, there are also many valuable things and important information in these people's bases. And they may also be able to find valuable prosthetics. Once the prosthetics are obtained, Bai Ye's combat effectiveness can be further improved.
No matter how you put it, it's a sure-fire deal.
It just requires taking some risks.
But Bai Ye clearly knows that the average level of these scavengers is far lower than that of cyberpsychotics. Just because they like to resell prosthetic bodies does not mean that they like to wear them on their bodies.
On the contrary, these people have seen too many cases of cyberpsychosis and people who have become ill due to prosthetic bodies. They use these prosthetic bodies very carefully and do not install too many prosthetic bodies on their bodies.
What's more, they can't install those expensive prosthetics, so they have to contribute them to their superiors in exchange for dollars.
In short, this may be a dangerous thing for other people, and they may lose their lives if they are not careful. For Bai Ye, it is simply a big treasure house, waiting to be mined.
Bai Ye walked around the room again, and after making sure there was nothing there, he turned around and prepared to leave.
Just as he was taking steps forward, a spiritual light suddenly stunned him.
That's not right.
These scavengers work hard to do bad things just to make money.
But why didn't Bai Ye see any cash in their room?
You must know that changes in online amounts are likely to cause these scavengers to be targeted, or even have their balances transferred by hackers.
A considerable part of the scavenger's business is cash transactions.
Where is the cash? This is their home base, and they don't even see any cash.
Some of them were just daily necessities, computers and some weapons. Others Bai Ye found nothing.
This is not right. There must be something that I have missed!
Bai Ye thought of this and opened up his own data perspective.
