From Terra to Terra, the Star Emperor's Holiday

It is very common in the cyberpunk world that drugs have a lot of side effects but are concealed before being put on the market. Companies that strive to become giants will do anything for profit. This is just a small bit of scraps.

Sasha's idea of ​​sending the information to News Channel 54, which has conflicts with Biotech, with the intention of making Biotech pay the price in this way is obviously naive and helpless.

Biotechnology will indeed pay a price, but at most it will be a huge hush money extorted by News Channel 54, and this news will not appear on TV and the public will not know the truth.

But this is the limit of what a mercenary like Sasha, who lingers on the edge of Night City, can do.

"...Your information is very comprehensive...I don't know what to say."

Her identity information and experience were revealed all at once. Sasha subconsciously pulled her coat closer. She felt naked in front of Si Ye.

"I'm grateful you saved me... Is there anything I can do for you?"

“Yes, but it’s not mandatory.”

Si Ye knocked on the table, and the autonomous machine on standby in the distance quickly and efficiently brought a glass of iced drink to the two of them.

"I know you're full of doubts right now. You want to know where you are, what forces have controlled you, and what will happen to you. To facilitate our communication later, Miss Sasha, you'd better drink something to calm your nerves."

“…Um…I…”

Mercenaries have many unwritten rules, one of which is not to drink liquids of unknown origin. After all, no one knows if they will wake up on the operating table of a scavenger who likes to remove prosthetic organs after drinking it.

Sasha hesitated for a moment and drank the ice drink in front of her. After all, she was no different from the meat on the chopping board. If they really wanted to use her for human experiments, she would not be able to escape. She had to be decisive.

The icy cold juice quickly relieved Sasha's impatience and relaxed the hacker girl's frown.

"Very good. Congratulations, Ms. Sasha Yakovleva. You have escaped from that shitty corporate giant and come to the Star Empire, a world where hard work pays off."

Behind Si Ye, the projections of flags representing the Star Empire, the Human Federation, and the Pan-Human Community unfolded in a timely manner, telling Sasha a reality that was like a science fiction story.

"what?"

Sasha tilted her head, her eyes showing extreme confusion.

What is the Star Empire? What is the Human Federation?

Isn't the idea of ​​another world something that only appears in those retro-style novels? Movies don't even make movies about this subject anymore.

"Just digest this information slowly on your own. You are lucky to be able to come to the Empire."

Si Ye looked at the rosy red drink in the cup and praised this lucky girl who should have died but was picked up by the empire and given a new life.

"I'll give you some preferential treatment and two choices."

Although still a little confused, when Sasha saw Si Ye raised two fingers, he, who was used to negotiating terms with middlemen, understood that the highlight was about to begin.

She subconsciously sat up straight, waiting for Si Ye to propose conditions.

"First, if you stay in the Empire, you can obtain a temporary third-class citizenship. As long as you are willing to work and integrate into the Empire, it will only be a matter of time before your status is officially recognized."

"Second, return to Night City and serve as our vanguard in entering that world. In return, you will have the opportunity to exact revenge on Biotech."

"I…"

Big companies have long been gaining power in the hearts of ordinary people in the cyberpunk world, and Sasha subconsciously showed a hesitant expression.

In Sasha's heart, she felt that she had uploaded negative information about Biotech, and Channel 54, Biotech's old rival, would definitely cause a lot of trouble to Biotech. No matter how she retaliated, her mother, who died from using biotech's dangerous drugs, would never come back.

But Sasha quickly realized that biotechnology was terrifying, but the Star Sea Empire in front of her was even more terrifying. A small pawn like her was involved in such a big event. Could she still have the qualifications to escape?

"I'll do whatever you say."

Feeling that he had no choice, Sasha lowered his head and expressed his attitude to Si Ye.

"Alright, the Empire isn't one of those shameful companies from your world. We believe in giving and getting what you deserve. Go down, the people who brought you here will arrange accommodation for you, and you can walk around and take a look."

Facts speak louder than words. Si Ye doesn't believe that after Sasha experiences the life in the Star Empire for a few days, this cat-headed hacker can still accept the days in Night City, which is more chaotic than Gotham.

Sasha, with a confused look on his face, didn't understand the twists and turns in Si Ye's plan.

She just left Si Ye's office in confusion.

Confusedly, he followed the servant through a corridor that looked luxurious and high-end.

She looked out the viewing window in confusion as a cross-shaped battleship larger than the moon floated past her.

Sasha now somewhat believed that she had really traveled to another world.

...

Chapter 226 Offering Loyalty

"I heard you're going to another world?"

Nian tiptoed into Si Ye's office and threw everything related to liquids on the surface of the office to the autonomous machine at the door.

Maybe it’s because water and fire don’t mix?

Even though she is already at the finish line compared to her competitor Muirseth, who is just starting out, she still remembers this short-lived ally whom she once wanted to cheat on.

Throwing away all liquid containers to prevent Muirseth's clones from eating or eavesdropping has become a common daily routine.

But unfortunately, Muir Seth was captured by Christen these days, and his clone is nowhere to be found.

A frigate is over 400 meters long, and even if it has extremely high auxiliary intelligence, there are at least several key positions that require manual takeover at critical moments.

Although Si Ye gave Christen the authority to recruit synths, synths still need to be paid for their work, and Christen's current state makes it difficult for her to settle down and work in the Star Empire to save money.

So Christen, who had to roll around on the frigate named "Wright" every day, was almost going crazy wanting to go to the sky, but having only one friend, Saria, was definitely not enough, so she naturally turned her attention to another friend who could split herself and was extremely intelligent.

"Muirseth probably won't be around these days, so you don't have to be on guard against her like this."

Si Ye looked at Nian's actions and wanted to laugh, but when the word Muir Seth was mentioned, Nian showed the demeanor of a Sichuan girl, except for the word Shu Dao Shan.

"Humph! That's not a water elf at all, she's clearly a little devil. I made an alliance with her out of kindness, but she actually tried to stab me in the back. I'll remember this grudge for a long time!"

Nian skillfully walked around the desk and got into Si Ye's arms, denouncing Muir Seth.

What made her angry was not Si Ye's greed for Muerseth's body, but the fact that they had clearly agreed to be an offensive and defensive alliance to fight against the terrible demon king Huifeng.

As a result, before the fight against Grey Wind even started, Muirseth planned to use his tricks on his allies, intending to have the whole thing to himself.

"This is a shameful betrayal!"

"Haha, I'm the one who took advantage, so I won't comment."

Si Ye swiped the virtual screen in front of him and pulled out a piece of information.

"Take a look at this place and see if you want to go. This world marked [3. Cyber] is also quite abstract. The anthropomorphic countries on the Terra continent are more anthropomorphic than the companies in this world in some ways."

Nian gave Si Ye a cold look and slapped away his claws that were about to touch him subconsciously.

"Is there anything more abstract than those abstract ghosts? I'd like to see them."

Compared to Shu who diligently researched the agricultural module and wanted to benefit the Terra continent, Nian has been running back and forth between hot pot restaurants, cinemas and the streets these days, vividly showing Si Ye the correct living habits of a street urchin.

After watching too many film materials, Director Nian's mind was filled with all kinds of bizarre ideas, but she was unable to gather people to implement these ideas.

Because even if you are the Princess of Star Sea, you still have to pay to hire people, and there must be a reward for your efforts.

After Shu took away part of her first quota as the imperial concubine, she turned the rest into various gifts for her brothers and sisters.

After all, making movies is just Nian's hobby, and she doesn't want to use this excuse to ask Si Ye for money frequently, so if she wants to hire someone to make a movie, she will have to wait until next month at the latest.

But her mind was full of various ideas, and Nian was a person who could not sit still, so she naturally thought of Si Ye as a way to pass the time. When she heard that Si Ye was going to a new world again, she hurried over.

"They're growing fuel in the fields? And the land is massively polluted? Tsk tsk, if Sister Shu knew, she'd definitely have everyone responsible buried in the fields."

Nian twisted and turned in Si Ye's arms, flipping through the information about the cyberpunk world, exclaiming in amazement.

"The company... this is quite similar to that Casimir Business Federation."

"It's far behind. Compared to the big companies in this world, the Business Federation is nothing compared to the giants. That's a compliment."

The companies in the cyberpunk world have actually seized power into their own hands and are rushing non-stop towards becoming giant corporations that rule the planet.

This reminded Si Ye of the annoying and disgusting dragon-raising undead criminal company next door when the Human Alliance first came to power.

"So are you going to do some serious work in this world? If you do, I won't cause any trouble."

If Si Ye was still in that sightseeing mood, it would have been fine for him to follow him that year.

But if it was serious business, Nian felt that as a mature and steady woman, she should know her limits and not cause trouble for Si Ye.

"There are serious matters, but it's the same as not having any. At least there's a former civilization on the Terra continent. In a world like Cyberpunk where nuclear bombs are still the ultimate deterrent, I'm afraid that one kick will cause the entire world to collapse."

Si Ye waved his hand nonchalantly towards Nian, indicating that it wouldn't have any impact if she followed him.

In fact, there are two main things to do in the cyberpunk world:

The first is to place beacons, summon the fleet, and establish collection stations.

The second is to experimentally build a two-way gate.

Because the beast-eared girls on the Terra continent are relatively rare, we used the cyberpunk world as an experiment.

If the two-way gate has any negative impact on the world, I won't feel bad if a world with extremely low value like Cyberpunk is lost.

"Then I'll follow. I think their Mewtwo is quite interesting, but it has to be stored in the brain, which is inconvenient."

There is a history of borrowing and integrating a lot of classic movie plots into one film.

Si Ye had to think about whether she had recorded a large number of films in the Xinghai Empire and planned to return to the Terra Continent to remake them, and become a plagiarist from another world to reverse her reputation as a director of bad films.

"That's easy. The reality simulator isn't some high-tech thing. You can go to that world and collect some. I'll have someone convert the format for you when you come back."

Patting Nian, Si Ye gestured for her to stand up.

"Let's go and see what our vanguard and tour guide has been doing these days, and then we'll set off."

...

"...Ms. Sasha, while the extra energy consumption of prosthetics does make you less likely to gain weight, that doesn't mean you won't gain weight."

Nian and Si Ye found Sasha in the snack street of the ecological park. Although it was not noticeable to the naked eye, according to the data from AI monitoring, this Mao girl had gained nearly 10 kilograms in just a few days compared to the meeting a few days ago.

“Hmm? Hmm!!!”

Sasha was choked by the sudden appearance of Si Ye and Nian. She stood up in a hurry, but was forced to sit down again and guzzle the drink because of the food stuck in her throat.

As a low-level mercenary in Night City who was used to eating all kinds of synthetic foods and toxic flavors, the pure natural ingredients and clean water of the Star Empire were really addictive after just one try.

Although it contains high-tech and hard-working ingredients, Sasha finds it acceptable in the face of the addictive aroma.
