Night City, government building, outside the mayor's office.
"Sir Xu, that is the mayor's office. Do you need me to accompany you there?"
"No, you go and do your business."
Signing for Elena to step back, he could just go in by himself.
This time he came to see the mayor, for no other reason than to 'budge' with the mayor.
First conquer the city government and establish your first base camp in Night City, and then use it to radiate the entire Night City.
Although the current government of Night City is just a puppet of the company, the puppet can also 'eat the master', and it only needs a little blending with them.
"Yes, sir, I'll go down first."
"Go ahead."
With the sound of high heels hitting the floor, Elena left.
As for what she was going to do, of course she was going to do what the deputy mayor should do.
As Xu Qingshan's secretary, she was 'honorably' endowed with loyalty and hard work.
After all, Xu Qingshan is not really here to be the deputy mayor. He has a lot of things to do. So, of course Elena has to take on the responsibility of deputy mayor now.
Dong Dong Dong~
"Enter."
With a click, Xu Qingshan opened the door and entered the mayor's office.
Different from his deputy mayor's office, this mayor's office is more high-end and has top-of-the-line configurations, so it should be very comfortable to work here.
Looking at the mayor sitting at his desk, he didn't recognize the person. He didn't appear in the queen's information.
He has short hair and an ordinary face. There are no obvious traces of prosthetics on his face, but his eyes are probably the latest type of prosthetic eyes.
He has a very generous figure and wears a decent suit. He looks like he is serious about his work.
"If I guess correctly, you are the new deputy mayor."
When Xu Qingshan looked at the mayor, he also looked up at Xu Qingshan, with a faint smile on his face, and his eyes were looking at Xu Qingshan without any trace.
There is no prosthesis in his body, and just like the rumors, he is... 'different'.
I don't know what this 'young master' thinks, or what his elders think, to actually allow this young master to be so..., yes...willful.
You know, in today's world, not wearing a prosthetic body is like... going out without a mobile phone, wallet, ID card... how can you endure this?
'Well... forget it, just use [Mind Control] to skip the nonsense stage. '
Listening to the mayor's voice, Xu Qingshan didn't know how to complain, so he directly gave him a shot of [Mind Control] to let him calm down for a while.
Anyway, that's what he came here for, just start 'blending'.
Finding a seat to sit down, Xu Qingshan flipped through his memories while making hundreds of thousands of modifications to his mind.
It's quite easy to do two things at once.
This is the second time he has modified the mind of the 'Cyberman'. Although he is familiar with the process, the whole process is still very smooth.
Compared to normal people, well... I didn't say that 'Cybermen' are not 'normal people'.
The combination of flesh and machinery caused some subtle changes in their minds. It took a little more work to modify, but it was easier to modify.
To use an inappropriate analogy, it is like widening the width of a creek.
It seems that the small river has become a big river, but... the flow rate remains unchanged, which makes it easier to modify, but there are more places that need to be modified.
"The money collected is quite a lot."
Looking through the clips of the mayor collecting money to do things, Xu Qingshan showed an expected smile on his lips.
It’s no wonder that the government has become a lackey of companies. Companies not only monopolize technology, but also monopolize wealth. Looking at the mayor’s familiar performance, others are not much better.
The butt determines the head, no matter who it is.
This is the characteristic of Night City. Only by relying on the company can you find a way out and climb up step by step.
However, the mayor is quite good at playing both sides. Arasaka, Military Technology,... are all able to do well there, and it is difficult for him to sit in the position of mayor.
…………
Half an hour later.
"Well, that's pretty much it. It should be very comfortable to use later."
Browsing through the memories took a while, but it wasn't a big problem. The memories were valuable and exciting to look at, not boring.
"Sir, what is our plan."
His dull eyes regained their energy, and the mayor looked at Xu Qingshan who was sitting down and spoke respectfully.
He had remembered it all.
A long time ago, he was Master Xu's subordinate. At that time, Master Xu gave him a secret mission, and climbing to the position of mayor of Night City was the first stage of this mission.
After many years, the adults finally came.
"The plan for the current price segment is to get Arasaka and Military Technology. We will discuss the detailed plan later. Now you just need to find a way to invite their senior management to come out, and I will take care of the rest."
Let’s stick to the old routine and start from the head.
Although it is old-fashioned, it is very practical. It only takes one point to 'assimilate' an entire network, and it is an avalanche-style assimilation.
"Sir, are there any time and place restrictions?"
"There are no restrictions, just let me meet them."
"Okay sir."
Nodding seriously, the mayor understood what Xu Qingshan meant.
The so-called appointment is just an appointment. It seems that the Lord has a specific plan. He just needs to make an appointment with Arasaka and the top management of Night City of Military Technology.
Although the task is simple, it is also very important.
"By the way, you should know Faraday."
"Yes, my lord, he is a very useful middleman."
Faraday is a very useful middleman. He has cooperated with him several times and completed the tasks he handed over with excellence.
"After this incident, help me contact him. I have a task that I need his help with."
Rebecca, Lucy, Mann... are quite looking forward to meeting them, but before that, they need to control the companies in Night City first.
By then, whether you are the 'mastermind' behind the mission or other gameplay methods, everything will go smoothly.
…………
Five p.m.
"Master Xu, do you need me to help you arrange a place to stay?"
Looking at Xu Qingshan who was about to leave, Elena asked.
Today is your first day in Night City, and she knows that you haven't confirmed your accommodation yet.
"Do you have any place recommendations?"
Looking at Elena, Xu Qingshan said.
Indeed, he still has no place to live and doesn't know where to sleep after get off work. This is a problem that needs to be solved.
But it’s not a big problem. Even if you can’t find a suitable house at once, you can stay in a hotel for a few days. It should be quite interesting to stay in a cyberpunk-style hotel.
"I recommend ** Hotel for hotels. If you want to rent a house, I recommend using **. I don't recommend it for adults to buy a house temporarily."
"Well, is there anything else?"
After listening to Elena's words, Xu Qingshan asked casually.
"If you don't mind, there is a room available at Elena's residence."
