"Hello,"
When the holographic phone call is connected, the other party's upper body will appear in the box in the upper left corner of the retina. Both parties can observe the other party's expression and movements in this way.
However, Lin Mo didn't find this seemingly novel way of calling very strange. It was nothing more than transferring the video call from the smartphone to the retina.
However, this holographic phone experience made him slightly interesting.
Because the other person's face seemed to be blurred as if it were covered in a mosaic.
It was difficult for Lin Mo to see the cyber hacker's face clearly, but fortunately the blurred range of the mosaic was limited to the face, so he could still roughly see the other person's general body shape.
She has short black hair that reaches her ears, and the hair on both sides of the temples is more fluffy. Although she can't see the specific face clearly, through the color, Lin Mo can still see that the other person's eyes are beautiful blue, and her figure is even more graceful. She is wearing a black suit. Tights, a small pink coat draped over the shoulders...
Even though he couldn't see his face clearly, Lin Mo could still feel the other person's unique temperament and charm.
Just looking at her figure and clothes, Lin Mo even had the illusion of looking at two-dimensional beautiful girls in the past. The little skin exposed outside the clothes was really too fair and shiny.
"Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Sasha. Was it Wakako who introduced you?"
The woman's voice was very clear, with a softness but a hint of coldness in her tone, much like her cat avatar - a cat that looked like it was exploding its fur.
"My name is Lin Mo, and I need your help with something."
Lin Mo didn't want to talk about family matters, so he got straight to the point.
"Are you talking about making a hacker software that can interfere with positioning signals? This is not troublesome. I have already done it. When you pay, I can transmit you directly." Sasha said with a smile.
"How much?" Lin Mo found a machine in the store and sat on it to rest.
"3,000 euros, no bargaining." Sasha gave the price.
For such a small amount of money, Lin Mo didn't bother to negotiate the price, so he just handed over the money without saying a word.
He wasn't worried that Sasha would defraud him of the money. People on the fringes of Night City paid great attention to their credit, and credit was the lifeblood of the middlemen.
If something goes wrong with this transaction, even if he doesn't pursue it himself, Wakako will not allow this to happen.
"5000? Did you make a mistake in transferring money?" Sasha's surprised voice came through the communicator, with a slightly high tone.
She watched in shock as someone credited her personal credit account with 5,000€.
This price is almost equivalent to the reward for some small commissioned tasks. It is really not a small expense.
"I also need you to do a little favor and help me add this data component."
Lin Mo extracted the hacker upgrade software from the database.
As expected, this software was not a physical object, but a stream of data that he could not understand at all, stored in the processor in his brain.
It's a pity that now his intelligence attribute is only 4 points, and he really can't do this kind of hacking thing.
He also transferred this data component to Sasha.
"What is this? Software is not compatible with everything." Sasha said doubtfully.
It was obvious that she didn't want to make extra money, but Lin Mo's request puzzled her.
It's just that the extra tip is really tempting. If he's not sure, the young man will definitely not transfer it to him at will.
If you can hand over the money to her with such confidence, the other party will not be a novice hacker.
"It's okay, you can just add it." Lin Mo said confidently.
Sasha sighed, seeming a little distressed: "Don't blame me if you break it."
Pulling out the Personal Cable from the heel of his left hand - an advanced cyber prosthetic that allows the Netrunner computer system to issue commands without the use of external devices.
She plugged the cord into the computer in front of her and began merging the components together with the jammer software.
"Strange... is it really weirdly fused?" Sasha looked solemn and stared at the computer.
In theory, the hacker jammer software she designed was such that only she could modify the instructions, unless another hacker also figured out the software's encoded data.
But the other party only got the software for a few seconds and was able to produce such an upgraded component... This is simply unheard of in the world of network hackers.
In Sasha's eyes, the software that was originally used to interfere with locator signals has now been upgraded to software that can forge locating signals.
After a few seconds of silence, Sasha finally downloaded the software and transmitted it back to Lin Mo through Night City's public LAN.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Lin Mo's expression was very happy. He didn't expect this commission to go so smoothly.
The deal between the two parties was reached, and Lin Mo didn't want to talk any more, but when he was about to hang up the phone, the network hacker on the opposite side stopped him.
"Although it's a bit presumptuous to ask like this, can you tell me how you did it?" Sasha hesitated for a while and finally couldn't help but be curious.
Um?
What did I do?
Lin Mo was confused. He was just a novice when it came to hacker knowledge and had no idea what the other party was talking about.
Is it possible that the free props provided by the emulator are weird?
Although he was greatly puzzled, Lin Mo could still tell that Sasha probably wanted something from him.
After thinking about the wording in his mind, Lin Mo smiled mysteriously, like a magic stick:
"Maybe it's just that we have different opinions. Just like you, miss, even if you disguise yourself, you can't hide your unique temperament, and the same goes for me. Things that I think are ordinary are full of mysteries in your eyes."
"Next time if we have a chance to have a long talk together, maybe we can resolve our issues."
Sasha covered her mouth and smiled. Even through the mosaic, Lin Mo could still see that she blinked her right eye slyly like a cat, "Then let's work together next time."
...
When the call ended, the handsome Asian disappeared from Sasha's eyes.
She lay on her back on a rough sofa and picked up a tall wine glass. The wine glass contained an orange-yellow liquid and several glass blocks. Under the bright incandescent lights in the bar, the wine reflected dreamlike colors in the glass.
Sasha took a sip of the wine in the glass and smiled slightly.
Seeing this, the burly man with bronzed skin next to him couldn't help but asked curiously: "What's wrong, Sasha? You're smiling so happily. Did that kid do something that made you laugh?"
His two arms are full of traces of prosthetic components. There are cracks on the bionic skin, which are the openings of the arm prosthesis. If you peel off the bionic skin of his arms, you will be able to see the precise mechanical structure inside.
"A very mysterious little boy."
Sasha squinted her eyes slightly and raised the corners of her mouth. The cooling holes on both sides of her face were like cat's whiskers, adding a bit of charm to her, and stretched with her smile.
"That's it, is it gone?" Mann's eyes tilted and he looked at Sasha with some confusion, and he couldn't help but wonder which kid was so mysterious.
"No more." Sasha shook his head quietly.
"What! Sasha, you never showed off before!" The girl sitting next to Sasha protested dissatisfied.
Her skin is extremely fair, with double ponytails on top of her head, and her hair is green. She only wears an oversized black jacket, which covers her petite body... Lolita body shape.
If you look closely at his eyes, you can see that they are a pair of specially made artificial eyes in red and yellow colors.
"He must be a rich man. He looks quite rich. I did him a small favor and he gave me an extra two thousand yuan as reward." Seeing the curious expressions on his teammates' faces, Sasha thought for a while and decided. Some information was revealed.
"Tch, it turns out he is a rich second generation!" The girl next to her curled her lips with disdain, picked up her own wine glass on the table, and drank the strong liquor in it boldly.
"It's great! It's great that that bastard brother isn't here!"
When the burly man heard this, he smiled and said meaningfully:
"The second generation who can give us tasks are the best ones. The pocket money flowing from their fingers is enough to pay for one or two small commissions. It's easy to make a lot of money."
"Hey, hey, hey, drink less Rebecca, if you get drunk, we have to take you back again." The blond woman sitting next to the burly man couldn't help but advise when she saw that the girl had drunk so much wine.
She has the same sturdy figure as the burly man. She wears a fur coat and only a strand of underwear. Her hair is slightly shorter and golden, and even her face is more androgynous.
The burly man chuckled and moved closer, restlessly approaching the woman with one hand:
"That's not bad. We can take her back. We don't have to go home. It's good to find a hotel to stay for one night."
boom!
The woman's fist as thick as a casserole punched the man's face mercilessly. The punch was as fast as thunder. At close range, the burly man was completely unable to react, and his face was stained almost instantly. , the nose was bleeding.
He looked dumbfounded.
"There are so many people here, Mann, are you looking for a fight, right?" the woman said angrily.
"Dolio, I..." Mann didn't know what to say to calm his girlfriend down.
Seeing the farce in the team, Sasha couldn't help but cover her mouth gracefully and laughed softly.
"Speaking of which, I have a hunch that that boy will meet us one day." Sasha smiled with a little thought in his eyes.
"What's the point of meeting that kind of person?"
Rebecca was still disdainful, looking at her wine glass with blurred eyes, turning it over and pouring it, and found that there was no more wine, so she threw the glass away, directly picked up the wine bottle on the table and started blowing into her mouth.
"readily!"
"Hey, hey, hey, drink less!" Mann shouted.
