Chapter 116 Silence

"Jack, the money you've earned in the past few years should be enough to buy a car."

"Huh? It's not that simple. In the past few years, I've become more active. The equipment I use, implants, and some daily maintenance and intelligence costs, what doesn't cost money, and I can't let Misty pay for a date."

"Didn't I leave a car at the time?"

"You mean the modified 620? That car is used for commissions. You can't drive an armored car out for a date."

"Okay, whatever you want, I'll take you back to Wild Wolf."

"Oh~ No, Xiao, you go back first, I still have something to do."

Although he was a little confused, Mo Wen's identity didn't support him asking further. After all, it was Jack's freedom to do whatever he wanted.

After saying goodbye to Jack, he got on the Avenger and drove to the North Oak District.

Since letting Gloria and her son move in, he hasn't lived in the apartment in the city center. Even now that Gloria and her son have moved out, Mo Wen has never been back.

After all, Lucy is at the manor, so why should I live alone in the apartment?

Is Lucy not fragrant or soft?

"Should I sell it? After all, it seems that it is really useless."

When the car passed by the apartment, Mo Wen suddenly thought that this apartment seemed to be useless.

"Well~ Forget it, go back and discuss it with Lucy."

After the vehicle entered the North Oak District, the traffic volume was obviously reduced a lot.

After all, this place is a veritable rich area in Ma, and the security level is quite high.

It is impossible for outside vehicles to come in, even NCPD does not allow them to enter.

The security here is independent. If there is an incident in this area, it is the special security personnel of the North Oak District who come to deal with it, not the police of NCPD.

However, the Violent Terrorist Mobile Team is not clear, after all, there has been no cyber madman in this area, let alone large-scale riots.

Back in the bedroom, Lucy was still awake, leaning against the head of the bed and looking at the monitor in her hand.

"I'm back"

"Yeah~"

After a simple wash, Mo Wen went to bed and hugged Lucy.

Lucy, who had long been accustomed to this, did not say anything, and did not even resist, still concentrating on the information on the monitor.

"What's wrong?"

"Network report, today the network in the manor, or the entire North Oak District network was invaded once"

"What happened?"

"I don't know, the network here is the ICE I set up separately, and I was alerted as soon as it was invaded. The firewall successfully blocked the invasion, but I don't know about other people's places"

"Isn't the property prepared?"

"Well, their ICE didn't alarm, and the other party went directly in, but I made a partition for our network here, and the external network still uses the original ICE, but I added a few more insurances at the back. The protection of the internal network was written by myself. They bypassed the ICE of the external network, but triggered my insurance, and then I activated the protection of the internal network..."

"Thank you for your hard work, Lucy"

As he said, Mo Wen turned her cheek and kissed her.

"Okay, this is the network situation report sent by the property management this afternoon. There are also some compensation measures, but the main compensation is from insurance."

"It seems that the property management in the North Oak District needs to change the network security company."

"Indeed, other owners have already submitted complaints, and I have also submitted one."

"Just make your own decision. Don't forget that you are the hostess here."

"Well, okay, I'm done with my side. What about you? What did you do today?"

"Me? I was very simple today. I went to Panam in the morning to understand the situation. I waited for Jack at the Wild Wolf Bar in the afternoon. In the evening, Jack said he wanted to go to the Ritz to experience the nightlife... Then I came back."

"Experience the nightlife?"

Lucy looked at Mo Wen coldly.

"Uh..."

"Take me to experience it next time?"

Faced with this, Mo Wen didn't know how to respond. He couldn't figure out whether Lucy was angry or really wanted to go.

In the end, he could only hug Lucy and lie down and pretend to sleep...

This sleep was not very good, at least Mo Wen felt so.

Although the red mark on his waist has disappeared, the pain from last night still lingers on Mo Wen's nerves, twitching from time to time.

In the following time, Mo Wen really didn't go out to take jobs.

On weekdays, he stayed at home with Lucy, tinkered with props in the warehouse, and developed the system by the way.

Outside, he occasionally took Lucy out to see Lao Wei and Misty, and also went to the Wild Wolf Bar.

Sometimes he would take Lucy to Regina's laboratory to see the research results and understand the progress.

Then he would exchange information with Rogge.

During this period, Kang Tao also looked for him several times, but the main purpose was to make friends.

After discussing with Lucy and Rogge, Mo Wen accepted the invitation to cooperate.

Kang Tao also showed greater sincerity for this cooperation.

One of them is the research and development of the new type of Sianweistan.

Originally, the Thousand-Substitute Type 5 Reality Distortion was already the limit of human beings. Ten times the speed was a miracle. At this point, all companies had seen the limit of Sianvistan, or the limit of Sianvistan was limited by the human body, and basically gave up on further research and development.

But after Mo Wen handed over the exported data (from his own Thousand-Substitute Type 4 Sianvistan) to Kang Tao, Kang Tao suddenly announced that he wanted to develop a Sianvistan specifically for Ghost Walker.

Of course, there is the idea of ​​experimentation, after all, this can open up a new path for the components of the Sian Westin series.

Once such a strategically significant military-grade implant has a new breakthrough, it will undoubtedly be a huge improvement for its own strength.

Arasaka and military technology companies have more or less known about Kang Tao's goodwill and even cooperation with Ghost Walker, but they are very hidden and there has been no obvious evidence.

Just like Morgan Blackhand in Military Technology, there are many rumors in the outside world, but there is no real evidence to prove this.

Many enemies of Blackhand have no way to deal with this, just like Arasaka against Ghost Walker this time.

Without real evidence, if you want to attack directly, neither Kang Tao nor Ghost Walker are easy to mess with. If you destroy Night City directly, then other companies in Night City can bring down Arasaka.

Time passed little by little, and this year is almost over.

Also, I heard from Jack that it seems that a new team has been formed, but Mo Wen was still busy with various things during that time, so I haven't asked about the specific situation.

At Lucy's suggestion, the apartment in the city center was still kept. Mo Wen had no objection to this. In Mo Wen's eyes, all kinds of taxes to be paid were just a string of numbers. Anyway, he didn't need them.

Regina had always been handling Mann and David's affairs, and he no longer cared about them...
