"Are you just going to let him go?" Looking at Johnny Silverhand's leaving figure, Yori Xuan, who was watching the show, finally found the opportunity to ask.
He walked to Lin Mo's side with a rather puzzled look in his eyes:
"Although I don't know how much resources you two have spent on his body, but if you think about it carefully, you must have spent a lot of energy. When he is gone, aren't you worried about his situation?"
More than fifty years have passed since 2023. Times are changing, technology is developing, and cities are changing with each passing day.
Even though Night City is still Night City and its name has not changed, how should a reborn person from fifty years ago adapt to the new environment?
Moreover, with the attitude and character that Johnny Silverhand showed just now, Yori Xuan was very worried that that guy would provoke a gang member when he got to the street, and then be shot dead.
"Don't worry, he is also a retired veteran after all, and the body we gave him is also equipped with a lot of good things. He won't be robbed on the street." Lin Mo replied casually:
"And the relic chip is still in our hands. Even if he dies outside, he will only lose his body at most... Well, that doesn't seem right. Maybe some data will be lost due to the sudden disconnection."
Although the technology provided by Knight is useful, it is ultimately just a substitute for the "immortality" technology. It is still inferior to Saburo Arasaka who "resurrects the soul through a dead body" in one of the endings of the game.
After all, no matter how expensive the mass-produced body produced by technology and hard work is, it is still not as good as the original human body with unlimited potential.
Combat effectiveness and convenience of life, these two conditions always have to be chosen.
If you want combat power, then you can use the resources of the entire Arasaka Company to build a mechanical body with terrifying combat power and perfect adaptability, just like Adam Hammer. The side effect is that it doesn't look like a human or a ghost.
If you want convenience in life, you can be like Knight and use lightweight materials to build a body that fits your body. Your life will be the same as that of ordinary people, except that your frontal combat capability is almost zero.
Lai Xuan nodded and agreed with Lin Mo's point of view.
Then, he seemed to have thought of something again, and echoed: "That's right, even without these things, the Relic2.0 chip alone is enough for him to have many unique abilities."
"What do you mean? In addition to carrying personality consciousness, does the relic chip have other functions?" Lin Mo asked in surprise.
Obviously in the game, the protagonist V, who is equipped with a relic chip, does not show that this chip has any special functions...
Or is this content to be released in the follow-up dLC of the game?
And he traveled through time relatively early, so he doesn’t know the content of these games that will be released later in dLC?
"This is the chip that the old man researched for immortality. According to what the project leader said, there are still many blank data clusters on the chip, which can load customized neural program software or a large amount of memory data for the personality consciousness. Lai Xuan explained:
"This function must have been prepared by the old immortal in order to make himself an all-powerful 'saint'. If necessary, combat software and combat data can definitely be loaded on the chip."
And this thing?
Lin Mo nodded thoughtfully.
He really didn't expect that this relic2.0 chip could bring him such a surprise.
In this way, if Yori Xuan is right, he won't have to use Johnny Silverhand as a "mascot" that provides emotional value.
After all, he knew Johnny Silverhand's personal combat power very clearly.
Even though this rock boy's former profession was a veteran, his real combat power was actually much lower than his charisma.
Since the relic2.0 chip still has this function, the original plan has to be changed, at least don't let this talkative guy have a hard mouth only in his whole body.
At least the guy at hand needs to be tougher!
Knight also had a clear look on his face at this time, and the blue fluorescence in his eyes flickered slightly:
"Mr. Lai Xuan is right. When I called up the biological parameters from the chip, I did see the blank data clusters he mentioned. However, I am not familiar with the Relic chip, so I did not check those data clusters just to be on the safe side. Explore more.”
"Now that Mr. Johnny Silverhand's personal safety has been guaranteed, do you think he will agree to our plan in the end?" Lai Xuan asked again.
Lin Mo smiled, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the suite, looked down at the city beneath his feet shrouded in night and lights, and said calmly as if recounting a fact:
"As long as he has seen the outside world, understood today's world and unchanging companies...and other such things and things, then he will definitely pick up the torch again and charge to the company building without fear, one after another. Like back then... it was his nature, and if he didn't do that, he wouldn't be Johnny Silverhand anymore."
Leaning next to the glass window, Lin Mo said with a deep look: "Actually, when I finished describing the plan, he was obviously a little interested. However, he had not seen this city that he had not seen for many years, so in his heart I still have some doubts."
Yori Xuan nodded in approval and put his hand on his chin as if thinking:
"He is indeed a warrior, but it's a pity that his bravery was too much, and he was completely reckless... I spent a lot of time in the past to understand the truth of that year. The reason why Mr. Silverhand detonated the nuclear bomb was also entrusted by military technology. It seems to me that he was also used as a weapon by the company."
"Moreover, they were definitely deceived by military technology. The power of that nuclear bomb was really too great. They clearly evacuated innocent people before the plan was launched, but in the end the nuclear bomb still caused a large number of innocent casualties. If it had been done earlier Knowing the yield of nuclear bombs, they should also understand that evacuating people is meaningless..."
Lin Mo sneered a few times: "Perhaps in their minds, this nuclear bomb should have a micro-yield, and at most it would blow up Arasaka Tower... But military technology gave them a larger one... .In the end, they naturally became terrorists."
Even if Yori Nobu did not point out the truth about the nuclear explosion, he still had an in-depth understanding of these historical events.
"Cooperate with the company and seek skin from the tiger!" Lai Xuan sighed, quite puzzled: "Mr. Silverhand has served as a soldier of Xinmei. He should also know the nature of their urine. How could he be tricked twice?"
"It's better not to mention these old things. Since we were tricked in the first place, we must take revenge." Lin Mo replied calmly:
"So the opponent I arranged for Johnny Silverhand in my plan was the Military Technology Company."
Knight crossed his arms and thought thoughtfully: "With his strength, isn't this a little forced?"
"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements." Lin Mo replied casually, continuing to look at the ground outside the French window, and said to himself:
"It's strange, why hasn't that guy called me yet? Judging by the time, he should have called me after going to the toilet."
"Go to the bathroom? Are you talking about Mr. Silverhand?" Knight asked confusedly.
He clearly remembered Johnny Silverhand's body...
"OK, he called. This is the end of tonight's conversation. In a day or two we will continue to discuss the follow-up of the plan in detail. I have to go down and check on that guy." There was a trace on the corner of Lin Mo's mouth. He said to Knight and Yorinobu with a playful smile and a brisk tone.
He always acted so decisively. As soon as he finished speaking, the other person was already walking towards the elevator of the suite.
"Call me if you have any questions." After leaving these words, Lin Mo's figure disappeared into the elevator door, leaving Knight and Yori Xuan alone looking at each other.
"Mr. Silverhand is in trouble? Why did you call for help so quickly?" Yori Xuan's face was full of confusion.
Knight pondered for a while, then seemed to think of something, put on a mysterious smile on his lips, and shrugged towards Yori Xuan.
"Who knows."
...
A few minutes later, two men, one large and one small, were standing in the public restroom outside the Kanbi Building.
At this time, the man wearing sunglasses was yelling at the innocent-looking boy:
"I'm fucking you Male Gobi. Are you jealous of my heroic demeanor, so you go out of your way to disgust me in this regard?"
"What the hell, why is my sculpture missing?"
