Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 70 48. Team Hacker
“Drip, drip, drip.”

The day after receiving the military technology commission, Carl sent a message to Mann.

"drop."

Mann: Carl, what's up?
Carl: I have a job that might need some help. Are you interested in helping out?

Mann: Are you, like, a middleman?
Carl: It's just a commission I received directly from the company dog. Due to some identity reasons, I can't do certain things directly, and I need help from other people outside the team. I also called Brown and others, but they are still on vacation, so I was wondering if you are free.

Mann: I ended my vacation in front of you yesterday. I took a job, but it should be completed tonight. Is your job urgent?

Karl: The employer has a very flexible schedule, so it's not urgent. The compensation is 500,000 Euros. If you are interested in bringing your team, I'll give you half of it.

Mann: Half a million?!
Carl saw that after Mann sent the message, he stopped replying temporarily after being surprised, knowing that Mann was thinking about whether to answer it.

As a mercenary, in fact, it is not necessary for mercenaries to know the relevant content before accepting the mission. For example, for missions assigned by company dogs, mercenaries are rarely allowed to know the relevant content before the mission, because mercenaries may refuse the mission and leak information. However, as long as they are paid a lot, mercenaries often don't care about these things.

Half of 500,000 is 250,000, which is obviously beyond the range of concern.

In other words, this is a reward worth risking your life for.

After a while, Mann seemed to have calmed down and sent a message.

Mann: The tasks directly assigned by the company, without any deductions from the middlemen, are surprisingly so much. But for this mission, is there no problem with the assistance of the middlemen?

Although the middlemen were greedy, they were still assistants who could provide the mercenaries with detailed intelligence, evacuation routes and other assistance. Without them, Mann really felt that his life was not guaranteed.

Carl: The company allows me to recruit other people to assist, but the rule is that no details can be given before they participate. However, I can use the last mission as a comparison. The danger level of this mission is probably at most the same as the first time we were attacked.

Mann: That level is already exaggerated. It's better to say that the subsequent ACPA is beyond the scope of what a normal mercenary can involve. But the reward is generous, so it's better for you to take the job, Carl. I'm relieved. I'll put this job on my team and I'll take half directly. Is that ok?

Look, they are so used to being pua by the middleman that they don’t even feel at ease taking half.

Carl: Of course no problem. You are the ones in charge of this job.

Carl provided an encrypted communication channel provided by Military Technology and allowed Mann to enter it after being authenticated by the personnel on the Military Technology side. Then Carl transferred the relevant files to Mann.

If the intelligence is intercepted here, it will not be the fault of these mercenaries. We have to ask the military technology department whether there is a traitor among their internal personnel.

After Mann finished reading all the relevant tasks, he sent another message.

Mann: So this means we have to help Militech deal with Arasaka this time?
Carl: That's about it. I need your help in collecting information about Tanaka. Once you've collected it, just hand it over to us and we'll handle the rest. Is that ok?

Mann: This job is too easy. Am I taking too much? How about we split it 50-50? You guys take 6 and we take 4. It will be easier for you three to share.

Carl: Come on, it's not like Jack, Oliver and you haven't done missions together before. Our style is not suited to this kind of slow intelligence gathering. Just take half of it with confidence. When you were doing the mission together, didn't you say you had a team? You are the leader after all, you can't give them less money. If you really feel guilty, just wait for the opportunity and help us kidnap Tanaka.

Mann: OK, I'll discuss the details with the rest of the team, and then have the hackers in our team contact you. For matters like this, you should let professionals talk to you.

hacker
In the street team, this is a rare talent. If Carl hadn't really found a hacker who was suitable and trustworthy, he wouldn't have taught himself hacking knowledge. Carl: OK, then I'll give you the deposit first.

Carl received a deposit of 100,000 euros. He gave 50,000 euros to Mann in a 50-50 split, and then divided the remaining 50,000 euros between him, Oliver and Jack.

Personal funds are counted only in integers of one thousand and above (omitted below): 900,000 Euros → 915,000 Euros.

Each person can get 15,000 euros, and the remaining 5,000 euros will be kept with Carl as team funds according to the old rules of the team, and will be used as meal expenses for the next dinner party. If the shortfall goes to Carl, the shortfall will go to him, and if the longfall goes to him, he will pay for it.

'Deposits are increasing.'

Carl actually didn't have any special concept about the numbers jumping up and down in the account. Money is something that perhaps only makes people feel heavy when it is actually taken out and placed in front of them. Numbers are strangely easy to use.

"What are you going to do today?"

Carl had discussed the plan of cooperating with Mann's team with Oliver and Jack before, so after discussing and informing them of the relevant matters, Carl asked Oliver and Jack about their plans for the day.

Intelligence gathering was outsourced, and the task of communicating with hackers was handed over to Carl, the team leader. Oliver and Jack were still very idle today.

"I'm going to go find Misty."

"I'm going to have dinner with my sister."

"All right."

You are playing the bullying game again, right?

We all have a party to attend today, guess who's the one who's not accompanied by anyone?
It's you, it's you, Carl.

After giving his two friends a friendly middle finger, Carl left the skyscraper and prepared to go to the Mewtwo store to buy some new Mewtwo.

He wanted to see if the Mewtwo store really had the real ninjas that Oliver had mentioned.

I just don't know whether it's playing with thunder or rolling balls.

As always, Carl was reluctant to drive without Oliver as his driver. It would be better to say that he hadn't driven a car once in 2075.

The reason is simple, just laziness.

Why do it while sitting when you can lie down?

Just when I was trying to contact the combat taxi driver who picked me up twice yesterday and left his phone number, I received an unfamiliar message.

"Hello, I'm Sasha, the hacker from Mann Team."
