From Terra to Terra, the Star Emperor's Holiday

"I just saw the Arasaka troops stationed at the border wall enter the city."

Dolio and Mann are working diligently in the hydroponic greenhouse. The two burly men and women are harvesting the pure 2 wheat in front of them very gently. Every wheat they harvest is money.

Although Sasha meant that the order would be closed as long as a certain amount of Pure 2 Wheat was obtained, Mann always felt uneasy if he didn't do more with so much money.

Thanks to the riots in the city, the invasion of the biotechnology test field by several people only alerted a few security robots. Thanks to the efforts of Sasha and Qiwei, these security robots were smashed into scrap metal by Mann without even sending out an alarm.

Then it's time to harvest the wheat.

To be honest, in this day and age, people who can harvest wheat are a rare existence. Fortunately, Mann's team is full of talents. The driver in the team, Falco, is a farmer from the Republic of Texas after the split of the old United States. He is also the only member of Mann's team who has been exposed to crop harvesting.

"Haha, this really feels like coming home."

Falco drove past in a small harvester, and kept expressing his feelings about the familiar feel of the harvester.

"Is there any movement in the city? Should we retreat?"

"No, let's continue. The company square is being attacked by... uh... Iron Man..."

Sasha was busy compiling negative information about biotechnology and uploading it to the Internet. She took a moment to take a look and saw the live broadcast of News Channel 45. She almost couldn't hold it in.

If it was originally just a battle between the company and the terracotta warriors, the increasingly fierce gunfire caused some lunatics who were already on the edge of cyberpsychosis to go completely crazy, and began to attack NCPD and the Terrorist Squad on the streets to create chaos. This chaos also gave gangs that were unhappy with the company an opportunity to join the battle, but gangs with the support of the company began to fight against them.

The riot has turned into a big mayhem that has affected half of Night City.

This also benefited Sasha. The outrageous situation in the city made it impossible for anyone to stop Sasha from spreading negative information about biotechnology on the intercity network. Through his super computing power, Sasha directly locked the news on the public page of the intercity network.

What about the "Nightingale Project" that conducts human experiments on the scavenger tribe outside the city?

What kind of painkillers can cause neurodegeneration?

What kind of food is made from wheat scraps? It is a food that can easily cause cancer...

In short, these are all pieces of news that, once they appear on the Internet, require the biotech public relations department to cover up their seriousness.

Now all of this has been thrown onto the public Internet by Sasha. With the current popularity of Night City on the Internet, it will only take a matter of one night for this news to spread around the world.

Sasha believed that tomorrow she would see news about the plummeting biotech stock prices.

Afterlife Club

A bar known as the "heart of Night City". It is the base camp of Rogue, the most powerful middleman in Night City, and the gathering center for all marginal mercenaries.

Although the riots in the city did not stop the business of Laisheng, it also made Laisheng less bustling than before.

The security guard at the door looked ahead absentmindedly. From his flickering prosthetic eye, it could be seen that he was also paying attention to the escalating chaos in the city.

"You made this trip just for this?"

Nian took the Relic from Si Ye's hand and looked at it over and over again.

"This is the bait, and it's the bait that needs to be processed. The big fish hanging at the back is my target."

Arasaka Yorimoto, who had already vomited all the words, looked at Lai Sheng in front of him. He had heard a little about the heart of this Night City mercenary, but he never expected that one day he would come to this place in person.

"you…"

As the gatekeeper of the afterlife, Emeric would prevent those who were not qualified from entering the afterlife. For a stranger like Si Ye, he subconsciously wanted to stop him, but the heavy door behind him was pushed open by an invisible force.

The automatic turret hidden right above the gate had not yet popped out when a molten red light appeared in the storage compartment. If Emeric had not dodged quickly, this gatekeeper of the afterlife would have been burned to death.

"Tell Roger... Never mind, let her come out to see me."

Si Ye dragged Nian into the afterlife with a swagger. Rebecca and Lucy looked at Emeric who was frozen in place as if he had been cast under a spell, and hurried to catch up with Si Ye.

"There is an intruder... The intruder has..."

All the prosthetic parts on his body were locked in an instant. Emeric could only frantically contact his boss Rogge to report the situation. Then he saw Lai Xuan, who was hanging at the end of the Night's team, with a pale face due to stomach churning.

“…Arasaka Yorinobu!?”

"what?"

In the afterlife, Rogge, who thought that the riots in the city had spread to the afterlife, was gathering people, but he heard a name that was enough to make people shudder.

Although Rogue is the queen of the afterlife and the most powerful middleman in Night City, in front of big companies, she is actually no different from a small mercenary who can be easily crushed to death on the street. Arasaka Prince Yorinobu Arasaka is someone Rogue absolutely does not want to hear or see.

"Is it the Arasaka Special Mobile Team that has arrived?"

Rogge signaled his subordinates who had already picked up their weapons not to act rashly, and while contacting Emeric, he walked up from the underground warehouse.

"No, Master Roger, Arasaka Yorinobu is following a young Asian man. It looks like...it looks like Arasaka Yorinobu is the younger brother of the man."

Rogge felt that his old friend Emeric might have had his brain burned out by the hackers of the Arasaka Special Mobile Unit, otherwise why would he be talking nonsense.

But when Roger rushed to the front bar of Laisheng, he saw Arasaka Yorinobu following an unfamiliar young man and asking the bartender Claire, who was already dazed, for drinks.

Although the development of prosthetic technology has made face-changing plastic surgery extremely simple.

But Rogge felt that even a fool would not do something like having plastic surgery to look like Arasaka Yorinobu. After all, doing so would not bring any benefits except being hunted down by Arasaka.

So he really is Arasaka Yorinobu? Then who is that person next to him?

Rogge subconsciously looked at the TV next to the bar, which was supposed to be a decoration. It was broadcasting Channel 54's real-time report on the riots in the city. The Arasaka troops, who had been hit the hardest, were building a defense line in front of the trapezoidal stairs in the company square to prevent those solid iron lumps from rushing into the Arasaka Tower.

The Arasaka Group is being beaten, but Prince Arasaka comes to the next life leisurely to drink. What kind of bizarre dream is this? Could it be that someone has already thrown poison gas bombs in the city, and this is actually an illusion?

It was not Rogge's fault for having such wild thoughts. The situation before her was simply beyond her comprehension.

"Rogge, Night City's best middleman, the queen of the afterlife, Johnny Silverhand's mistress... I have something for you to do."

The bartender in the next life was so scared that he didn't respond no matter how Si Ye shouted, so he could only do it himself.

With a snap of his fingers, the drinks and utensils behind the bar began to move under the bartender's even more horrified gaze.

Vodka on the rocks in a shot glass, mixed with a small Coca-Cola. This was supposed to be the drink David Martinez left behind in the afterlife for this year's legendary, and quickly vanishing, Night City drink.

However, with Si Ye messing things up, this young man from Santo Domingo, who has a loving mother, should just stop hanging out on the streets and prepare to enjoy his new life under the rule of the empire.

“…what do you need from me?”

The respect that Arashiyama Laixuan showed for Si Ye was real, and the suffocating aura that Si Ye exerted on Rogge was also real. Rogge, who believed that Si Ye was a big shot, was very humble and acted as if he was at anyone's beck and call.

"Johnny Silverhand's consciousness model is in this chip. Insert it into the data panel and you will be able to see him."

Si Ye ejected the Relic chip from his hand, and a data panel fell into Rogge's hands.

Normally, the Relic chip must be in a brain-computer environment and rely on the human brain to operate properly, but Imperial Technology can easily simulate an environment.

"Tell your old lover to be more obedient. I need his cooperation to fish out Ott Cunningham. As a reward, I can give him a body to return to this world."

Although I don't like Johnny Silverhand's old white male personality, I know that hard work pays off, and Si Ye will still pay the due compensation.

"what?"

Holding the chip and data panel, Rogge was stunned.

...

Chapter 240 Night City Announcement

The news that came one after another overwhelmed Roger, making her feel like she was really old.

But the situation is stronger than the person. After a long silence, Rogge inserted the chip in his hand into the data panel. After the display screen of the panel flashed with an extremely unnatural fluctuation, the ugly face that made her love and hate appeared in front of her.

"Fuck! Where am I? Roger, you stinky bitch... No, what's wrong with my brain..."

A voice that fits the stereotype of a rock star and hippie came from the panel. Perhaps Arasaka had done a lot of experiments with Johnny Silverhand's consciousness model over the years, which made his memory a little confused.

"You're still alive and kicking and cursing? It seems like you've been living pretty well these past few years, you bastard!"

Si Ye shook his head when he saw the way Roger and Johnny reminisced about the past.

Playing in a band, hippies, rock... With all these terms added up, who knows how messy their relationship must have been.

"Be more efficient. If you want to reminisce, you'll have plenty of opportunities to do so later."

Seeing that the two were about to continue reminiscing about the past, Si Ye reminded Rogge while sensing the battle situation of the terracotta warriors.

Without Nian's assistance, these powerful creations could only catch the modern army off guard. After becoming familiar with the various parameters of the terracotta warriors, a large number of explosives were put into battle, the number of terracotta warriors began to decrease, and the situation seemed to be gradually stabilized.

It’s not okay to keep things stable, Si Ye thought, and planned to add fuel to the fire in the city.

"and who are you?"

"I understand. I'll explain it to Johnny."

Fearing that Johnny might say something shocking, Roger nodded quickly and walked towards the private box with the data panel.

"Who is he... Rogue, is the person next to him from Arasaka? You really betrayed me..."

"Get lost! Shut up!!!"

With the loud bang of the door closing, the good soundproofing of the private room masked Johnny Silverhand's noisy voice.

"Keep an eye on her. If she moves, burn them all."

After giving orders to the Gray Wind clone that had been connected to the network, Si Ye walked back to the bar.

Using Johnny Silverhand to fish for Ultraman is just an option, not a must. If it really doesn't work, you can also consider modifying Delaman and let it go behind the black wall to get what Si Ye wants.

"I've informed Sasha and asked her to bring Mann and the others back here. You guys stay here for a while. The riots in the city are almost over. I have to go add more fuel to the fire."

Rebecca is now Si Ye's little fan girl by childhood standards, so she naturally won't disobey Si Ye's orders.

Lucy listened to some of Johnny and Rogue's gossip, and her cold expression became a little subtle. Moreover, with Si Ye being the one who could recruit Prince Arasaka as his younger brother, how could she dare to say no?

"Hey, do you want me to come with you?"

Nian naturally knew the situation of the terracotta warriors in the city, but since Si Ye didn't say anything, she didn't add any more pressure. Otherwise, if a steel dragon ran over, Night City would have become like an Ultraman studio.

"No, I'm going to establish control over Night City and see if I can find a few troublemakers to deal with."

As a free city, Night City has always been a target of various companies. Both New America and Arasaka want to completely control this city.

What Si Ye wanted to do was to defeat the armed forces in the city, and then announce the occupation of Night City in front of these corporate forces that coveted Night City, to see if he could lure out some chickens that were suitable for killing to scare the monkeys.

"Okay, then go quickly and come back soon. This world is so boring."

Nian waved his hands dejectedly.

There is really nothing fun in this world. The high-end enjoyment is not even a fraction of that in the Empire, and the low-end experience can only be said to be on par with the magical Barat. After taking pictures of the scenery, Nian quickly lost interest in Night City.
