Rogge's tone became more intriguing.

She is even more interested now.

I want to know how Su Xiao plans to convince her.

"For me now, this money is not enough to pay the full amount, but for Night City's middleman queen, it is just a drop in the bucket. You only need to give me more than a month, and I can fill this hole for you."

"This is not just a transaction, it is also the basis of trust. You can

Trust me, but I think for the sake of the hundreds of thousands I transferred to you before, you can try to trust me."

Roger nodded.

"Well, your speech is very touching."

"And what's your answer?"

"Okay, I allow you to repay the remaining balance after two months."

"Thank you."

"No, you don't need to thank me," Rogge laughed. Compared with before, her smile seemed much more sincere. "I almost forgot to tell you that although I don't believe you, I have known the priest for a long time, and Regina..."

"I've known her since she was still working on corporate scandals. They think very highly of you, don't let them down. And more importantly, don't let me down."

"Work hard, little rookie. When the things you want arrive, I will send someone to deliver them to you."

A few days later, an ordinary van drove up to the downstairs of the Glen apartment.

The car body is painted with the logo of a decoration company Night City.

Several decoration workers got out of the van.

Carrying large and small bags, he walked inside.

The leader is surprisingly Emmerich who has been guarding the door of "the next life" all day long.

Because there were too many things, they were divided into two groups and took the elevator upstairs.

Half an hour later, they came down in the elevator, but their hands were empty, without the large and small bags they had brought when they went up.

The group of people got into the van and left quickly.

After sending Emmerich and others away, Su Xiao called people he knew to inform them that he would be "retreating" in the apartment for a period of time.

Of course, if they have urgent matters, they can contact themselves.

But if nothing happens, don't disturb yourself first.

Then switch the background of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the apartment to metal entities.

And lock access to the elevator.

Only then enter Weapon Modification Room.

Seeing Emmerich and the others bringing in the materials he needed, Su Xiao rubbed his cheeks vigorously.

"Work has started."

Half a month later.

Weapon Modification Room's door opens for the first time.

Su Xiao walked out carrying two pieces of Customized Bulletproof Combat Suit in each hand.

Hang them separately on hangers.

He snapped his fingers, and the voice-activated lights turned on, dispelling the darkness in the room.

But he was not satisfied and switched the color of the lights several times until the smart home device changed the lights to warm colors in the style of a fairy tale world...

Su Xiao then took a few steps back with satisfaction, put his hands on his hips and admired his masterpiece in the past half month.

Customized Bulletproof Combat Suit hanging on the hanger, from left to right, are his own white windbreaker and overalls.

Leather jacket and jeans from Jack.

Lucy's white off-shoulder jacket, black high-cut tights, and white shorts.

Finally, V wore a long red dress.

These four pieces Customized Bulletproof Combat Suit are the result of what he has been busy with during the past half month except for sleeping.

It's finally completed now.

The finished product he produced is not a copy of Nantong Zhengshuang's bulletproof vest.

First of all, he did use the same principle as Nantong Zhengshuang's bulletproof vest.

Subdermal Armor is also used, covering the outside of the clothes.

It's just that Nantong Zhengshuang uses the third generation Subdermal Armor.

And Su Xiao uses the fourth generation Subdermal Armor.

It has better defensive performance, is lighter, and does not hinder flexibility.

Second, is the most important.

These four pieces made by Su Xiao, the inside of Customized Bulletproof Combat Suit.

Also populated with Experimental Thickening Liquid.

This material was not purchased from Rogge, but was inspired by him when he obtained the drawings of Customized Bulletproof Combat Suit.

All Night City, this one has no other branches.

The function of Experimental Thickening Liquid is that it can penetrate into clothes.

Under normal conditions, it exists in liquid form.

However, once the clothing is impacted or compressed...

Experimental Thickening Liquid becomes a hard solid, making the clothes stronger and difficult to penetrate.

Therefore, body armor made of Experimental Thickening Liquid is usually soft and comfortable.

Once it is cut or stabbed by a sharp weapon such as a knife, or impacted by high-speed bullets or shrapnel, it will become extremely tough at the moment of impact.

And it can quickly disperse the impact force along the clothes, greatly reducing the pressure per unit area.

When the impact force disappears, Experimental Thickening Liquid returns to its liquid state and the clothes become soft again.

Su Xiao has never had one, so he and Jack applied for membership at Trauma Team.

The reason is that instead of each person paying tens of thousands of euros to Trauma Team every month, it is better to improve one's own strength (equipment is also part of the strength).

Although the slogan of Trauma Team is "Seven minutes to save your life, or your money back."

The actual situation is that even if it is Platinum Member, there are still situations where Trauma Team fails to rescue and the customer loses his life.

Therefore, many people think that as long as they hang a Platinum Member package on Trauma Team, they will be safe, but this is actually wrong.

But these four Customized Bulletproof Combat Suit are different.

This thing can definitely be used in their subsequent mercenary careers.

Comes in handy.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao couldn't wait to see what kind of expressions Jack and the others would show when they knew that he had prepared such a good gift for them.

Without further ado, Su Xiao immediately made a call to Jack.

Almost instantly, Jack answered the call.

His trademark rough voice came through the holographic phone.

"Su? Are you out?"

"Well, where are you now? I have something for you."

"V and I, and Lucy, we are at Wolf Bar, you should come over quickly."

"I'll be there soon."

Ten minutes later, Su Xiao walked into Wolf Bar.

Say hello to Kakyoin Chihana who was in the bar and wiping the table with a piece of cloth.

"Miss Chihana."

The current Chihana can still see the temperament of the soldier/killer he once was.

If he hadn't known about her past, even Su Xiao would have mistakenly thought that she was just an ordinary waiter.

"Mr. Su, you don't need to be so polite. Just call me Chihana. Do you want a drink? I'll treat you."

Seeing that Su Xiao came in, Chihana hurriedly stopped what he was doing.

For Su Xiao, her heart is full of gratitude.

If it weren't for Su Xiao, she would have died long ago.

Even her daughter might have been taken advantage of by Scavengers and died miserably.

The fate of their mother and daughter can be changed, all thanks to Su Xiao.

"Then you can just call me Su," Su Xiao waved his hand, "No need to bother, you are busy with your business, there is no need to greet me. By the way, Jack, where are they?"

Su Xiao looked around and didn't find Jack and the others in the bar.

"Everyone is waiting for you in the alley behind the bar. Jack also said that if you arrive, just go and find them."

Su Xiao nodded, said goodbye to Chihana, and went out through the back door of Wolf Bar.

Looking left and right, I quickly found Jack in the alley.

Jack saw him and waved to him excitedly.

"Come here, Sue."

"What are you doing here?"

Su Xiao walked over and his eyes fell on an object covered with a dust-proof cloth behind the three people. "What is this?"

Jack said mysteriously, "It's a gift for you."

"Mine? Why did you suddenly think of giving me something?"

"We will answer this question later. Before that, Su, why don't you guess what's down here?"

Su Xiao pretends to think, but in fact, as long as you scan it with Tactical Goggles, you will know what is covered under the dustproof cloth.

"This is... a motorcycle?"

Jack was dumbfounded. "How did you win the first guess?"

Lucy and V seemed to understand the answer instantly.

Look at each other and smile.

Lucy Tucked the white hair from his forehead behind his ears.

"Jack, if you want Su to guess something next time, you have to take off his "Tactical Goggles" first."

Jack It was like waking up from a dream, pretending to be angry.

"Good guy, you cheated! Your conscience is really broken!"

Men were fighting nearby.

The girls were smiling brightly on the sidelines.

"Okay, no more playing, Jack."

"I should be the one to say this." Jack's tone was a little depressed, but also full of unwillingness.

Just now he has been trying to catch Su Xiao.

But Su Xiao doesn't know which martial arts master he learned Kung Fu from.

It's like wearing a pair of skates under your feet.
