"Then you've come in good time. I can introduce you to Jack Wells, the chief person-finding expert in our medical dispute mediation group. You two will definitely get along well."

Valerie's voice remained calm and steady.

"It doesn't matter who comes, as long as they don't mess things up for me, or you won't be able to afford the consequences."

Vito knew that V from the company was just arrogant like that, but he didn't care, as long as the money was there.

"Want to pay extra for our plus service? I'll take care of Jenkins for you, and you can get promoted to head of the counterintelligence department. Doesn't that sound great!"

Valerie was shocked that Vito knew so much; it seemed that Vito was not just a mercenary as he appeared. She put away her arrogance.

"No need, thank you. Just give me your contact information."

"OK, we've sent it to you. We'll make sure you get what you paid for."

Valerie nodded and left with Anne, realizing she had completely underestimated Vito.

Vito smiled as he watched Valerie's departing figure. Perhaps this was the beginning of V and Jack's acquaintance.

Chapter 77 Used To

Although Jack Wells is a legend in Night City, he is not an inexhaustible old man. Vito told him to take a good rest and to take his time finding people.

Vito called a car for Jack and took him to the Wild Wolf Bar, while he himself went to study, uh, no, to fix up Little Cha.

Vito called Cha from the warehouse and told him to wait in the operating room. Cha looked around the strange place with curiosity.

Just as Chapman sat down in the operating chair, Vito entered and shouted, startling Chapman so much that he immediately stood up, thinking that Vito was annoyed that he had dirtied the operating chair.

"I'll disinfect the operating chair again, so that no blood clots that haven't been washed off will rust your precious parts later."

Vito carefully cleaned the chair with an automated robotic arm, then dried it and let Cha lie down on it.

"Relax, it'll pass in a bit. By the way, are you in pain?"

Xiao Cha shook his head, then nodded.

"If Cha's parts break, Cha will feel uncomfortable; that might be what pain is."

Vito first found Cha's interface, connected his personal connection, and ran a check for Cha.

Two minutes later.

"Little Cha, it seems like your core is just your brain. Did your dad put your chip in your brain?"

Little Cha himself didn't know that he hadn't paid much attention to his body since he was born.

"Little Cha doesn't know, but Little Cha's dad said to protect his head, because that's where he thinks."

"OK, then I can go all out to repair your body. After I'm fixed up, how about you work for me? I'll pay you your normal salary."

As Vito spoke, he helped Cha clean the mixture of sand and oil off his body.

"As long as people don't beat up the underlings, the underlings will give people jobs."

“I’m not a born violent maniac, why would I hit you? As long as you don’t talk like the Night Wanderer, we’re good friends. My name is Vito, and that big guy is Jack Wells.”

Vito connected his personal cable to the operating chair, and the four robotic arms started working simultaneously to repair Cha's damaged body. Vito's own hands also moved up and down, attaching prosthetics to Cha.

"Little Cha, would you like to get a better leg? How about I give you a pair of lynx claws as a greeting gift?"

Little Cha nodded blankly. As long as it didn't get beaten up, it was fine. Vito's punches and kicks felt like being hit by a hammer.

Working until almost dawn, Xiao Cha's body was completely renewed. Although his original body was made of new materials, it was badly damaged. Xiao Cha may have blocked a lot of bullets for the Night Wanderer, but the Night Wanderer had no interest in repairing a robot he had found.

"Cha, why are all the other robots charging, but you're patrolling?"

Xiao Cha jumped around on the spot, as if she was getting used to her new body.

"Little Cha is saving electricity. The boss told Little Cha to keep an eye on things downstairs and not let anyone who doesn't know their place come up. But Little Cha looked carefully and realized that everyone has eyes."

"Ok."

Vito looked at the happy little Cha and suddenly asked a question.

"Little Cha, do you have a gender?"

Xiao Cha stopped, as if he was thinking.

"Yes, Dad said that Cha is his son."

Vito shook his arm, lit a cigarette, took two puffs, looked at the expectant little Cha, and handed him one as well, even handing him a light.

"How about I make you a bionic face?"

Cha took a drag on the entire cigarette, his chest steaming as if it were on fire.

“Great, Little Cha wants a new face.”

Vito brought out a tablet and showed Xiao a few photos, letting him choose which one he wanted to look at.

"How about this one? It's a bit old, but it brings wealth."

"No, no, he's a decrepit old man! Little Cha wants to be a young man!"

Vito was somewhat disappointed, realizing that in Cha's eyes, Arasaka Saburo was just a decrepit old man.

"How about this one? This one is young, and it will bring you wealth too."

"No, no, this doesn't look good. I want a face like Vito's."

"Cha, you need to think about the long term. My handsomeness is only temporary. This guy named Arasaka Yoriyuki's face can bring in wealth!"

Xiao Cha shook his head again. He was like Sun Wukong seeking enlightenment on Fangcun Mountain, always saying he wouldn't learn.

Vito handed the tablet to Chase so he could browse the internet and choose his own skin. He then went to the warehouse to see if there were any synthetic skins left to do Chase's face and, while he was at it, to put a layer of skin on him.

When Vito returned carrying a box of synthetic leather, Chapman skipped and hopped as he handed Vito the tablet.

"Little Cha wants this!"

Vito glanced at Chapman, then at the tablet.

Are you sure?

Little Cha chose a poster of Brad Pitt from when he starred in Fight Club; such old items are only found in Vito's tablet.

“You little brat, always calling him ‘Little Cha’ this and ‘Little Cha’ that, it looks so out of place with Brad Pitt’s face. How about I get you another Pitt, the Pitt from Round Clam Town?”

Finally, at Cha's insistence, Vito replaced his face with a handsome one resembling Brad Pitt at age 35.

While the two of them were still busy, Gloria also arrived at the operating room door. Seeing that there were people inside, she immediately closed the door.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know there was a patient undergoing surgery."

Vito called out to the door.

"It's alright, Gloria, come in. Cha is a robot, and although he's a boy, he won't mind."

Gloria found it strange that a robot would need to perform surgery.

Vito helped Chase put on the last piece of synthetic leather, then patted his chest to indicate that he could get up.

"Let me introduce you. This is Chappie, you can call him Chappie. This lady is Gloria Martinez, you should call her Mrs. Martinez."

Little Cha nodded.

"It's alright, just call me Gloria. Vito, what's going on?"

Vito briefly told Gloria about recent events, and Gloria marveled at them.

"Alright, Cha, I'm going out to run some errands. Connect to the internet and download how to fix a car."

After saying goodbye to Gloria, Vito contacted Romeno to meet, and the two arranged to meet in the old apartment area on South Pine Street.

Upon meeting, Romeno couldn't wait to ask for the data, and Vito handed Romeno the external disk chip along with its box.

"Honestly, Vito, I really think you're a genius!"

He read the information with great interest.

"For the people of Night City to know the truth, I don't mind suffering a bit of hardship, eating sand in this barren land, enduring the gunfire of the Night Patrol, or being hit by stun grenades from government fugitives!"

Romeno put away the external plate.

“I understand, Vito, your efforts have not been in vain!”

After saying that, Romeno transferred an additional 10,000 euros to Vito in addition to the commission fee.

Vito whistled.

"Wuhu, to be honest, Romeno, are you neighbors with Steel Dragon or something? Your deals are much better than the market average."

Romeno ignored Vito's teasing, hurriedly said goodbye, got into his car, and went home to analyze the data.

Vito also sent a message to Li Ying, asking her to come downstairs.

Chapter 78 I Need U

Vito parked his Type 66 downstairs at Liying's house, put his hands in his pockets, leaned against the car, and focused on cosplaying as Han.

Li Ying walked slowly down the stairs and immediately spotted Vito by the car. A smile immediately appeared in her eyes, and she subconsciously took a picture of Vito.

"It's beautiful, Mr. Vito. Are you imitating Fast and Furious?"

Li Ying's melodious voice rang out gently with the evening breeze.

"I thought I was the only one who would watch these kinds of old movies."

Li Ying smiled after hearing this and handed Vito two carefully wrapped small boxes.

"When I was at home, my favorite thing to do was watch movies. I know many old movies by heart!"

Vito took the box.

"Thank you, Ms. Liying. May I remove it now?"

"Of course, one is for Jack."

When Vito disassembled the frame, it revealed an exquisite digital photo frame. The photo showed Vito and Jack playfully teasing each other, trying to ruin the moment when taking the picture, which made them both burst into laughter.

Liying chose this photo because happy times are worth remembering.

"Then please take the driver's seat, Miss Liying. We're going to check out our little repair shop."

Liying casually tied her loose hair back.

"I hope Mr. Vito doesn't get carsick; I drive very fast."

Following the navigation, Li Ying arrived at the Gunfire Children's Transport Center. L was very efficient; his men had already almost finished preparing the transport center.

"Guns and bullets for children"

Liying got out of the car and looked at the bus, making a joking noise.

"Then you can come up with the name for our repair shop."

After a moment's thought, Li Ying lightly leaped to Vito's side, gently wrapped her arms around his neck, and whispered in his ear on tiptoe.

"How about calling him 'Wild Kid'?"

Vito replied to her in a low voice.

"It's strange, but I think it's fine."

"Wuhu, Nali Ying adds one point, Vito adds two points."

Vito sent a message to the old captain, asking him to help him order a brand and also sending the final payment to the old captain.

Vito brought Li Ying to the company, including Xiao Cha. After learning that Xiao Cha was a robot, Li Ying thought Vito was playing a trick on her.

As a result, Xiao Cha then demonstrated how to smoke a cigarette in one go, making everyone burst into laughter.

By the afternoon, the sign for "Crazy Kids" was up, and all the members of the "Z Gang" casually congratulated Vito on the opening of his new business.

"Wishing you great success in your business, Vito."
