V rubbed his eyes; this scene was simply too fantastical.
She even ran the self-check program, but the feedback indicated that there were no problems.
Compared to V, Silver Wolf appeared much calmer.
She already knew about Bai Zhi's abilities; after all, for her, any exposed ability could be found online.
"With your abilities, it's a real shame you're not serving as the Envoy of Abundance."
Silver Wolf said with great interest.
This therapeutic effect, which can be effective even on inorganic substances, far surpasses that of ordinary Abundant Fate Walkers.
If we go a step further, even if we are not personally appointed by the Star God, we can still obtain power from the Abundant Destiny that is no less than that of the Commander, right?
"That person also invited me, but as a subject under the protection of the Emperor's Bow, I declined."
Bai Zhi shrugged and then looked at V.
"Well, does this prove that I can cure you?"
"Okay, absolutely okay!"
V nodded without hesitation. What else could she say in the face of such a fantastical scene?
Who knows, if Bai Zhi is in a good mood, she might even make her a magician too.
This thing looks much better than any firearms or cybernetic modifications.
"So what do you want to do with me?"
V asked cautiously, "Curing her must be a very difficult task, right?"
"Well... there are two main things. First, take us to the headquarters of Araban Company. We need to retrieve the design data for the REC chip."
"The second thing is that I hope you can come with me to a place and serve as a consultant for my new game."
"Your experiences in Night City have been invaluable."
V: ?
She felt like she couldn't quite understand what the girl in front of her was saying.
It was fine if she drove directly to the headquarters building in the deserted area to get the REC chip data; at least she could understand it.
This is also very unusual, because that thing is top secret in the abandoned area, and even the equipment inside is not connected to the internet, so it can be said that it is physically isolated from theft.
Would someone so easily hand over such a secret to another person?
It's impossible to say that these two are going to directly attack the Araban headquarters building.
Thinking about this, V shook his head, wondering what absurd things he was thinking. It was impossible to even imagine.
She couldn't understand the second one at all. Although she had worked as a company employee before, she had never been involved in games.
Is it really okay to let someone as inexperienced as her do this kind of thing?
"...How do you plan to obtain the design data for the rec chip?"
Just to be on the safe side, she still asked.
"Just call them directly."
Bai Zhi replied naturally that the train was only stopping here for seven days, and she didn't want to play any tricks.
If you have the capability, just go for it.
V fell silent. What a reckless statement! It was completely at odds with Bai Zhi's appearance.
If it weren't for her reason telling her that Bai Zhi's magical abilities were clearly abnormal, she would probably have run away long ago.
She was well aware of how heavily guarded Araban's headquarters building was.
Unless you're a superhero from a comic book or the protagonist of a game, it would be impossible to break through.
"Alright, let's drive over there and burn that building to ashes. It'll be fun, won't it?"
Bai Zhi noticed V's hesitation and said with a smile.
"That's right, burn that place to ashes. This girl is quite to my liking, she talks a good game!"
Johnny Silver Hand's image also appeared in V's line of sight, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. Clearly, Bai Zhi's words were exactly what he wanted to hear.
"Aren't you afraid that after she succeeds in curing me, she'll delete you from her contacts?"
V said something without saying a word.
"Ha, so what if the Aragaki headquarters is destroyed and deleted?"
Johnny Silverhand laughed three times; this was something he had always dreamed of.
The saying goes, "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening." Destroying that building, a symbol of capitalist oppression, is his Way.
Seeing all this, he wouldn't care if he died right away.
"What a madman!"
V muttered a complaint under his breath, but his hands still honestly reached for the steering wheel, heading towards the headquarters building of Araban Company.
She believed that Bai Zhi and Yin Lang were not brainless fools; they must have their own strength and confidence to do such a thing.
Chapter 390: The Offensive Begins
"The headquarters of Arakawa Corporation is just ahead... Are you really going to launch a full-scale assault?"
The car came to a smooth stop behind a magnificent building, and V asked with mixed emotions.
Even after witnessing Bai Zhi's restorative magic, she was still worried about it.
After all, Huangban Company has a prestigious reputation.
If Bai Zhi loses to Yin Lang, her chances of survival will be gone.
"I don't care. Actually, I prefer peace, but Silver Wolf likes challenges. If she wants to take a hard line, I'm happy to oblige."
Bai Zhi shrugged. If it were another world, she might actually try to reason with Silver Wolf and change his mind.
But in this cyberpunk world, there's really not much to say.
The company was completely corrupt from head to toe; every part of the building was steeped in evil.
"Hmm, although I could infiltrate, this company is disgusting, I don't like it."
With a flick of his right hand, Silver Wolf projected a pile of documents onto the screen.
"Organ trafficking, human experimentation, and all sorts of dark things—compared to the forces in this city, Interstellar Peace Corporation is practically a pure white lotus."
"No wonder the people in the company often call themselves followers of the King of Amber. In a sense, they're not wrong."
"At least when some planets are really in danger, they will provide loans or something to help people."
"It really is."
Bai Zhi thought about it and realized that Bellberg seemed to be like that. During the crisis, the company provided a loan and a lot of technology. Without that technology, Bellberg might not have been able to survive until the end.
"Alright, let's get out of the car. Let's go inside and get the documents, and while we're at it, let's teach these guys a little lesson."
Silver Wolf casually tossed a piece of bubble gum into his mouth and mumbled something indistinctly.
"Okay, V, you stay here and keep watch. We'll go in and get the documents."
After opening the car door, Bai Zhi turned to V and reminded him.
"Hey, how can you just sit here and wait like a coward when something like this is happening?"
"Shouldn't we charge in with them and teach those idiots from Huangban Company a lesson?"
Johnny Silverhands reappeared in V's line of sight.
It's clear that this Night City legend, who has been dead for 50 years, is very dissatisfied with V sitting here waiting.
"You bastard, you've been dead for so long, of course you don't care, but I still have to live."
V said with dissatisfaction.
However, she still cautiously leaned out of the car window, watching Bai Zhi and Yin Lang approach the headquarters building of Huangban.
She was also quite curious about what kind of power gave the two of them such confidence.
"This guy was involved in organ trafficking in private. He's beyond saving. Just bury him."
At the entrance, Silver Wolf completely ignored the incessant chatter of the fully armed guards blocking his way. Instead, he glanced at them and then revealed the despicable things they had done.
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Upon hearing Silver Wolf say that he was involved in organ trafficking, the guard's face immediately changed, and he shouted sternly.
Although there are hardly any clean people in this building, isn't it embarrassing for him to say such a thing in public?
"I think you're here to cause trouble."
Enraged, the guard immediately prepared to press the alarm button.
"OK"
At the same time, Bai Zhi made a gesture to the silver wolf, and with her other hand she gently tapped the guard.
In an instant, the terrifying flames engulfed the opponent.
"Huh, so the power of the flames has been upgraded."
Seeing that the other party hadn't even had time to scream before turning into a wisp of green smoke, Bai Zhi blinked.
Although the system didn't mention it, it seems that the power of the flames is greatly enhanced after the Dragon Talisman is upgraded to level 3.
In the past, although fire could also cause decent damage, it was mainly due to the continuous damage from constant burning.
"Holy crap, this is outrageous! Is this guy really some kind of magician?"
V, who also witnessed this scene, was stunned. The guards of Aragaki Company were exceptionally well-equipped, with almost everyone wearing heavy subcutaneous armor, so small-caliber guns couldn't even penetrate their skin.
They even have modifications like alloy skeletons, making them top-tier combatants in Night City; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to serve as lobby guards in this desolate headquarters building.
However, the guard with such combat power was vaporized in less than a second.
"This guy is so amazing, why aren't you following him? I can't wait to see what's going on."
Johnny's silver hand was gesturing from the side.
"Gulu..."
V swallowed hard; Bai Zhi's method was different from when she restored the vehicle before.
As we all know, healing ability is not the same as destructive ability.
So even though Bai Zhi had demonstrated the power of the horse talisman before, she still had some doubts about Bai Zhi and the silver wolf's fighting ability.
But now, she feels that there's probably no need to doubt it anymore.
"I think...maybe I can go and observe for a bit."
V thought about it and realized that such a grand scene was truly rare. In her entire life, she had only ever seen such a scene in movies and games.
You have to go and see it in person to truly appreciate it.
Moreover, you might even learn something from it.
What if, like in those novels and movies, she has some kind of innate talent and, after seeing this kind of magic once, suddenly awakens some superpower?
"That's more like it. Hurry up, didn't you see they've all gone into the building? If you don't hurry, you won't be able to see them anymore."
Upon hearing V finally relent, Johnny Silverhand urged him on, his face also full of anticipation.
"Alright, alright, all you do is watch the show."
V gave a disgruntled reply, then secretly opened the car door and hunched over as he walked toward the entrance of the Araban headquarters building.
She stood sideways by the door, then quietly peeked inside.
"Huh... was there really a battle going on here?"
V was somewhat surprised by the scene inside.
Because it was completely different from the mess and chaos she had imagined.
It can be said that, apart from some traces left by the guests when they fled due to unforeseen circumstances, everything else looked as if no battle had taken place.
