“You don’t want to know what those little flowers are? I’ll take you to see them.”
Jiang Heng stroked Rebecca's head, attempting the head-patting technique that only 2D male protagonists could do, and said with a smile on his face.
Rebecca saw that Jiang Heng just patted her head, and she didn’t resist, because she was used to it, and this big hand was quite comfortable!
Hm? Wait, why do I feel comfortable? This guy is a pervert!
However, Rebecca didn't think much of it. Soon, she was attracted by Jiang Heng's words and asked: “Are you willing to take me to see them?”
“What’s there to be willing or unwilling about? They are just a few fruit trees.” Jiang Heng said.
If he had said this before his transmigration, there would have been no problem. But in Night City, it was a real show-off.
Here, only the wealthy could afford to plant flowers and plants in their own yards, fruit trees were especially rare.
Jiang Heng's few fruit saplings were bought at a high price from the black market in Chinatown. It was said that they were shipped from Longguo.
“Come on, I’ll take you to see them.” With that, Jiang Heng turned and walked towards the greenhouse.
Seeing this, Rebecca hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't suppress her curiosity and followed.
“We’ll go see them too.” It wasn’t just Rebecca who was interested in those vegetables and fruit trees, the others followed closely behind.
But when Lucy brought out the water, she found that everyone was gone, they had all run to the balcony, and she couldn't help but be speechless.
In this way, Jiang Heng, like a teacher taking a group of elementary school students on a spring outing, led everyone on a tour of his greenhouse farm. Even the most ordinary head of Chinese cabbage could cause a scream from these people, even forgetting about their task and completely forgetting what they were here for.
At noon, Jiang Heng and Lucy cooked a table full of dishes together, once again letting Mann and the others know what it meant to be a person above others. Eating was such a happy thing.
But then everyone started to feel sad again, because after eating this kind of food, who could still stand the plastic texture of synthetic food?
……
In the afternoon, everyone finally began to formally discuss the details of the mission.
Actually, there was nothing much to discuss, just the division of labor.
Finally, everyone decided to have Qiwei hack into the BioTech building's surveillance system to get an overview of the situation.
While Lucy and Sasha would sneak into the building and steal data information.
For safety reasons, Jiang Heng would stay close to them to protect them, in case of any emergency.
Because they needed to sneak in, they couldn’t have too many people entering the building. Therefore, they sent Jiang Heng, the one with the strongest combat strength, to be the bodyguard.
While Mann and the others would be outside the building to provide support.
Everything was ready. They decided to start the operation tonight. But before that, Jiang Heng went to Mann because he wanted to ask who exactly commissioned them, or who the middleman was.
After all, tasks like stealing a large company's data information were not something ordinary people could handle. The middleman who commissioned Mann was obviously not a simple person.
……
“Mann, can you tell me who commissioned this task?”
Jiang Heng didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.
“Faraday.” Upon hearing Jiang Heng’s question, Mann didn’t choose to hide it and simply said it.
Mercenaries usually wouldn’t reveal the client's identity when taking tasks, but the middleman wasn’t the actual client. So, there was no problem in saying it. It wasn’t against the rules.
And Faraday’s name was quite famous in Night City.
When he heard this name, Jiang Heng immediately understood. So it was this guy.
Faraday, a character from the animation "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners," often collaborated with Mann's team on tasks.
In fact, this guy was a middleman for Militech. Many of his tasks came from Militech.
This time, the task of stealing Biotech data was most likely also commissioned by Militech. There was a lot of infighting between companies, and Biotech controlled two major cash cows: food and energy. They were naturally attracting attention.
Furthermore, what was more important was that Biotech was getting closer and closer to Arasaka. Biotech’s security robots and protective weapons were increasingly being purchased from Arasaka, not Militech. This made Militech very unhappy.
After all, Militech and Arasaka were mortal enemies.
