I also hate asking stupid questions.
The name Stella was brought up by Roger on his own initiative.
That must have deep meaning for her.
"Stella's last action before her death was the work of the Faraday faction. A scientist defected from Militech and took refuge in High-Tech Military Industry."
"The people from High-Tech Military Industry plan to take the scientist and secretly leave Night City and go to Moscow."
"Faraday was hired by Militech to find Stella and asked them to intercept the High-Tech Military Industry convoy transporting the scientist and kill the defecting scientist."
High-Tech Military Industry is Mega Corporation from the Soviet Union.
Maybe you have never heard of this company, because compared with giants like Kang Tao, Arasaka, and Militech, it is indeed inferior.
But you must have heard of weapons produced by this company.
One of them is called "SPT32 Ice Storm".
--Its upgraded version is "Watch".
There is also one called "RT-46 Storm".
--This one is even more heavyweight, because its upgraded version is "Comrade's Hammer".
Su Xiao pondered for a moment, "Stella failed?"
Roger shook his head.
"No, he succeeded, but he and his accomplices were also surrounded by the High-Tech Military Industry reinforcements who came later, and were finally annihilated in despair."
"The people from High-Tech Military Industry originally planned to save the scientist, but after discovering that there was no chance of him surviving, they switched to saving the data in Cyberbrain."
"It's just a pity that after death, Cyberbrain will gradually die."
"So what High-Tech Military Industry finally rescued was only a small part of the data that was no longer valuable and was in pieces."
Su Xiao's eyes moved.
"What you don't want to say is that these data are the design drawings of Power Armor for Militech, right?"
"As I said just now, it's only a small part, and it's all in pieces."
"But how did they end up in your hands?"
Rogge crossed his legs and admired the expression on Su Xiao's face at this moment.
"The people at High-Tech Military Industry found this thing useless, so they kept it dusty. I have a friend at High-Tech Military Industry who gave me a copy."
"Actually, it's not like selling company secrets. Those things are of no use anymore. They will just waste time in the database anyway. It's better to just take them out and make some extra money."
"I want it, how much does it cost?"
"Friendship price."
Roger named a number.
It's really a friendly price.
It's no different than giving it away for free.
Su Xiao sat in Roger's box for almost half an hour.
A black-skinned hacker walked in from outside and slid a chip against the table.
"Thank you, Nicks."
Rogge nodded at the other party.
Then he picked up the chip, inserted it into his Neural Slots, confirmed it was correct, then popped it out and handed it to Su Xiao.
Su Xiao gave Rogge the money he wanted on the spot and called her in person.
Then he didn't leave, just sat in Roger's box and started checking.
It's not that he doesn't believe Rogge, but if these data can activate his "Flash of Inspiration", wouldn't it be...
Su Xiao inserts this chip into Tactical Goggles.
Streams of data and information are constantly flashing on Tactical Goggles.
Su Xiao understands.
These data are too fragmented and sparse.
Even using reverse engineering, it is difficult to deduce the original appearance.
No wonder High-Tech Military Industry gave up.
Unless...
"When you think about these data, even though they are incomplete, they still make you enlightened and enlightened..."
"Would you like to consume 100 Potential Points points to obtain an improved version of the design?"
The prompt that popped up on the system panel made Su Xiao overjoyed.
Ever since I found out that Heavy Hammer was Raijin Arasaka's bodyguard, the depression that had been weighing on my heart was finally let go at this moment.
Feel good.
Originally, he just had the attitude of giving it a try, and it didn't matter even if he didn't succeed.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be...
Su Xiao Concentrate your attention and think "yes" silently.
"100 Potential Points points have been consumed to obtain an improved version of the design--Exoskeleton Armor"
Chapter 136 Scavengers, everyone gets it and kills it (3K)
"Roger, I need you to buy some things for me."
Su Xiao will make a list of materials for making Exoskeleton Armor and send it to Rogge.
Rogge took a look, frowned and said, "The price of these materials is not cheap. A complete set is more expensive than replacing the whole body Fourth Generation Cybernetics. Have you thought about it?"
She didn't ask Su Xiao what she wanted these materials for.
Because she has already guessed what Su Xiao wants to do.
Su Xiao is no nonsense. "I will give you the money in six installments, and you can pay it back according to the interest on the commercial loan."
Although he and Rogge are old acquaintances and old friends.
But as the saying goes, brothers have to settle accounts.
What's more, the materials he wants to use to make Exoskeleton Armor are, as Rogge said, more expensive than the complete set of Fourth Generation Cybernetics.
So in order not to hurt his feelings, he offered to pay Rogge interest.
"No interest, I believe you."
"It's a good relationship, see you later."
For the next few days, everything was calm.
Su Xiao and V, Jack, Lucy get together from time to time.
Dexter, it took longer than expected.
But it's understandable, after all, Azure Tower is a hotel owned by Arasaka.
It's definitely not that simple to go in and get something.
But Su Xiao is also happy with it.
The most ideal situation is naturally for Rogge to help him prepare all the materials he needs to use first. He has completed the production of Exoskeleton Armor, and then Dexter will be finished.
Then at noon that day, Su Xiao suddenly received a communication request.
I thought it was Roger calling, but when I saw the name, it was Li Nali.
"It's you, what's the matter?"
"Can't I come to you if nothing happens?"
Su Xiao said nothing.
Just silently looked at Li Nali on the communication screen.
After a while, Li Nali slowly said, "Okay, I really came to see you because I have something to do."
"Task content, location, reward."
"Come to Kabuki District's snack street and let's chat while eating."
Su Xiao didn't say no.
I plan to go there first to see what's going on.
Over at Dexter, it's not that simple to come up with a plan to infiltrate Azure Tower.
Before Dexter is settled, if Li Nali's matter is not too troublesome...
He doesn't mind making some extra money.
Su Xiao Go to the snack street mentioned by Li Nali to find her.
Instead of wearing a police uniform, she put on a black tights.
The two of them ate at the food stall first.
Li Nali asked Su Xiao to take her to Northside Industrial District.
On the way, Li Nali told her the reason why she was looking for Su Xiao.
"Near Rose Street and Shipyard Road, a group of Scavengers attacked many homeless people, but the police did not let us get close."
"You planned to eliminate harm for the people, but you felt that you were not strong enough, so you called me?"
Li Nali nodded and said, "That's right."
Su Xiao feels very strange. "Why don't you ask your colleagues in the bureau to take action with you?"
Li Nali sighed.
"Those Scavengers are carrying weapons. Fighting with them would risk our lives. Since the bureau won't let us get close, my colleagues don't feel the need to take the initiative to eliminate them. If they are injured, not only will the medical expenses not be reimbursed, but they may also be fired."
"Okay, then you take me
If you call me here, you're not going to prostitute me for nothing, are you?"
"Of course, I have inquired about the general remuneration for similar clean-up commissions. I will not give you a penny less, but..." After a pause, Li Nali continued, "I am just an ordinary police officer of the NCPD. My salary is not high, so I can only pay you in installments."
Su Xiao agreed immediately, "Okay, just pay in installments, no problem."
Scavengers, everyone gets it and kills it.
Not to mention there is still money to take.
"When the time comes, you hide behind me and I will deal with them."
It's just a bunch of Scavengers, Su Xiao hasn't taken it seriously yet.
But Li Nali shook his head.
"There is no need to attack by force. Let's outwit them. I have already thought of a way. The two of us will pretend to be pizza delivery people. As long as the gang Scavengers orders pizza, we will poison the pizza and deliver it to them to poison them."
Su Xiao gives a thumbs up. "Nice!"
Dozens of minutes later, the two came to Rose Street and Shipyard Road near Northside Industrial District.
Li Nali found a commanding height nearby as her temporary stronghold.
From here, you can see the entrance to the underground shopping mall more than a thousand meters away.
Of course, the underground shopping mall has not yet been built and is already unfinished.
Originally, many homeless people were hiding in underground shopping malls.
But then a group of Scavengers attacked them.
Kick out all the homeless people.
