Chapter 784 - 63: The Published Legend Story

Night City, one of the most unique cities in the world.

This city isn’t exactly wealthy, but it is the fastest-growing city economically worldwide. Its natural population growth rate is even negative, yet the extraordinarily high number of immigrants keeps its annual population growth rate the highest globally.

It even hosts giant corporations from Europe, Asia, America, and even Africa, which are entrenched here but haven’t plunged the city into a bizarre silence...

It seems like those companies that act all high and mighty on their own turf have to encounter issues here every so often.

This city is never lacking in topics online; it’s always... the hottest topic for Elliot:

Night City is a city of freedom; no matter who you are, there’s a chance to get what you want there.

"Ask me...you’ve asked the right person!" Elliot excitedly rummaged through a box and pulled out a storage device, "Night City...I love that city so much..."

Seeing him like this, Johnny laughed, with a sense of magical superiority and disdain:

One must admit that Night City people indeed are pathetic. If Johnny were to comment on this city, he would say it’s a cesspool.

Yet if people from other places yearn for Night City, he would again feel that it should be...

And, these guys are really young.

As soon as the storage device was connected, Lille immediately found that sensational news.

[Breaking News!]

[Arasaka Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier Kujira attacked and stranded off the coast of Night City!]

[Recently, the criminal syndicate in free city Night City: Burger King gang’s leader has fled to the war zone known as "Dog Town."]

[According to local news, this criminal group was the mastermind and participated in crimes against Biotechnology, Military Technology, Arasaka Group, and other well-known giant enterprises within a year.]

[The city has fallen into chaos under the threat of these criminal groups, and now, they’ve even somehow managed to sink Arasaka Group’s aircraft carrier.]

[Several companies claim: the hit on Arasaka Group was by a missile with a nuclear warhead.]

[Military Technology Company displayed its technical research on this weapon on its network, stating that there must have been a problem with Arasaka Group’s defense system.]

[If using Military Technology’s defense system, it would certainly be able to defend against such missiles.]

[Night City’s city administration has submitted a proposal to the council to purchase a missile defense system.]

[But what’s more concerning is that the Burger King gang, this shadow hovering over Night City, has once again evaded legal sanctions.]

[On the night of the incident, Night City’s outsourced security firms, that is, Arasaka Company and Military Technology, launched a joint raid, but their forces were repelled by the armed members of the said criminal organization.]

[Perhaps from now on, this international crime has already become an international terrorist organization...]

[However, at this moment, Night City mysteriously announced the cleanup of this criminal organization, the organization that Arasaka and Military Technology couldn’t clear, the one that keeps the entire Night City in fear, can they really be wiped out?]

[Or perhaps... is this organization just like how the outsiders describe, ruthless and merciless?]

[Burger King selling out big-time idiots, how did they rise, and how do they control the entire Night City, as well as mastermind and participate in these shocking incidents worldwide?]

[Rising from the streets of Night City, destroying Arasaka’s aircraft carrier.]

[What you want to know is all in the BXC documentary "Man-eating Hamburger," a limited edition Super Dream lets you immerse yourself in exotic customs, hurry to buy!]

The style gradually turned bizarre, by the end it was like a dagger seen from the picture, Lille’s face dropped on the spot after reading:

[Lille: You call this news?]

"This is news, BXC documentaries can’t be edited, it’s a big company, an official media certified by the European Union!"

Elliot eagerly stroked this storage device, "Crazy awesome! This is life, this is business!

The emergence of the Burger King gang is entirely due to the lack of control of Night City’s local government, a necessary evil, an inevitable product of local people under corporate oppression!

Without one Burger King, there will be another Burger King, this is what the world needs today..."

[Lille: Stop!]

[Johnny: Why won’t you let him speak? What he’s saying is pretty good.]

[Lille: You’re getting infatuated.]

Elliot stopped, but his interest was not doused, on the contrary, he continued, "You are AI from Night City... Network Supervision and Arasaka also say this is the work of a rogue AI, do you know the rogue AI behind the crime?"

[Munemasa: ...]

[Munemasa: Should I tell?]

The silence in Cyberspace feels much longer than in the physical world; this silence in Cyberspace was deafening.

[Johnny: More than just knowing... This Burger King... Burger King is right here.]

[Johnny: Haha, I suddenly want to see the reaction of Europeans discovering that you’re already in their network, why don’t we continue on this entire green site?]

[Johnny: I think letting Europeans experience body art from decades ago is also meaningful, these provincial oddballs should have learned advanced art long ago.]

[Johnny: Let’s, in Europe, go for a bang!]

[Lille: Crazy.]

[Munemasa: I think letting him know you are Burger King would make it much easier to use him for action.]

[Lille: You think utilizing admiration will make people obey, but the best way to shatter admiration is direct contact with the object of admiration...]

[Lille: I can get people to work without such a title, this boy... hmm, he has a lot of initiative.]

The three AI concluded their meeting in a second, Lille said:

[Lille: Hmm... we do have some connection to those events.]

"Really? That’s fucking awesome! How did they nuke Arasaka’s aircraft carrier? And is the Lizard Man real? What do Lizard Men eat? Do they eat Floating Cars?"

[Lille: In fact, I did provide them with a lot of weapons and had contact with some of their people.]

[Lille: But that is not life, nor is it the beautiful career you imagine.]

"That’s not a career?" Elliot snorted with laughter, "If that’s not a career, then is a low-level guy like me, crawling through pipes every day, a career?"

[Johnny: Interesting, I thought you’d like to contribute to the stable prosperity of the European Union, see how humble you looked just now.]

"What do you know! That was... that was..."

Elliot’s face turned red with suffocation; if this were online, the topic would have now shifted to personal attacks—

It was Johnny who started it!

But Lille promptly interrupted their argument; he wasn’t here to see this.

[Lille: Any recent ones?]

"Yes!" Elliot started rummaging through the bookshelf again, pulling out a brand-new storage device, with a cover on top:

"Broken Burger, Wandering Ghost."

"After Arasaka’s aircraft carrier was nuked, many more things happened. Our good old bro, the Vanguard of Change, is now making the American companies’ military a total wreck..."

"Many people died... Oh right, Arasaka Saburo is also dead."

The three AIs were stunned.

"That’s why I say Burger King is a god." Elliot sighed, shaking his head, "Just with personal charisma, they conquered Arasaka Yorinobu."

"Arasaka Yorinobu swung a blade at his old man and killed him right before everyone’s eyes."

"That’s the most badass figure to die, but not the only one: up till now, they’ve killed dozens of prominent figures in America..."

"Truly terrifying."

Burger King himself is right here, the culprit is obvious.

[Lille: ...Let me see what’s going on.]
