Vol 8 Chapter 26: Big Shot V

Teacher Bian said that it is basically impossible for me to be a poor candidate to run for office through legitimate channels.
I said even so, but if I get enough support, I will definitely win the election.
"Political games are not played like this. You can't find another seat for yourself on a table that has been divided up. The position of the mayor has already been decided, and the situation in Night City is even more special. Civil strife in the United States After the split, as an independent city-state, the city of Night is actually affecting the most sensitive nerve of the situation. Keep your campaign personality, a small figure who has stepped up from the bottom of the city of Night, a typical Yankee, transformed into a full of humanities The caring social elites, and most importantly, are not involved in the Far East Group and are clean. This is the best mask for you. I will help you solve the rest."
"How do I start the first step?"
"Do the task I posted to you. In addition, there is one thing worth noting. The former mayor died unclearly. You can investigate further. Maybe you will find some clues."
I agreed.
Before leaving, Teacher Bian Ning once again asked me, "The most important thing is people. In Badlands, you have the support of Adecado. In Heywood, you have Valentino's relationship. Then in the Civic Center, At NCPD, who do you have? Know your enemies and distinguish your friends. Talk to the people on the road more, talk more to the wanderers, talk to all the people you see, listen to what they want, think about you What should I do by myself."
My good habit is to see uneven roads and draw my guns to help. The City of Night is the kind of tourist resort where guns can be heard when walking on the road during the day. The simple folk customs here always make a deep impression. Here is a warm reminder to all citizens, if you can’t use marksmanship, then never take a remote path.
Just because I always help people out, I know a lot of people. There are ordinary citizens, robbed company dogs, defected gangs, young hackers, and messy. I used to help them solve their problems, but I won’t talk to them. Now, I kill them every day. After the mess, I will chat with the victim.
Not everyone can talk to me calmly after experiencing sudden violence. They are full of guard and fear. At this time, ask them to drink a glass of soda or coffee at the vending machine, and they will calm down.
As I became more and more famous on the road, someone gradually recognized me, "You are V! That awesome mercenary hacker!"
Every time I smiled, "Yes, and I'm still preparing to run for mayor."
Since the news of my election for mayor spread, my days immediately became lively. Old guys from the past rushed to visit live treasures. My small apartment has a maximum passenger flow of 170 people in a day. If I charge by ticket He would definitely make a fortune, but unfortunately he couldn't.
Perhaps I am the least decent candidate. Everyone regards this as a joke. For the time being.
The situation will change.
I talked to the people at the bottom of Night City. Some of them were on the street, some were near the traffic lines, and some were in shacks on the seashore. There are those who cannot pay the rent and are expelled, there are veterans who are injured and sick from the army, and there are uneducated people who have been picking up since childhood.
I asked them how they lived, and the answer was always: "It's terrible" "It's like that anyway" "Oh..."
I asked them how they were doing recently. They answered me like this: "Every day is like hell", "I am in pain," "Another day has passed."
This is the inner part of the City of Night. Walking out of the Civic Center and Westbrook, to Taiping Chau, to the valley area, the high-rise buildings of the company and the government are like castles, so that the social elites who live in extravagance can stay at home. . They couldn’t see many children eating food scraps picked out from the garbage, couldn’t see puppets implanted in black clinics with inferior prostheses, couldn’t see the workers who were violently suppressed after the protest, and they couldn’t see the mental illnesses A veteran with no cure.
Capital shines on the top of the cloud, and suffering and trauma envelop everything under the cloud.
This world is ill. In my opinion, Night City itself is the source of cyberpsychiatric infection. This set of evil systems, this set of terrifying and cold-blooded systems is mass producing lunatics. Regina came to me time and time again to subdue the sick cyber lunatics. She said that if she wanted to find a cure, what I saw was not patients, but poor people who were desperate. If you really want to treat this kind of thing. For illness, the best way is not to take medicine, not to send to the psychiatric nursing home that abuses the patients, but to rush into the Arasaka Tower and reward the fat company dog ​​with a bullet, which is to divide the money and resources. , To divide the opportunities and benefits, and to do all of this, I think only two Germans are invited.
Teacher Bian Ning said that he would help me solve tasks other than tasks. This is incredible. I don’t know how he competes with city councilors with complex relationships and strong backgrounds. He is just an old man who teaches, even if he can do well. That's it-or just like I thought, I just start a happy cleaning~EbookFREE.me~ If all the competitors are dead, then I will definitely be elected.
Since I said that, the situation is definitely not developing as I thought. One morning I was woken up by Johnny, "Hey! V, don't sleep! Watch TV!"
Anyway, since I don’t know when, Johnny has some kind of his own, and he no longer shares his senses with me, which makes him happy. I’m the spirit behind me all day long, mumbling and murmuring. I drank and smoked, but I couldn't help but he drank three bottles of tequila last night and his headache exploded.
"Do you work as an alarm clock part-time now?"
"Watching TV, the host mentioned you, V, the light of the night city, the executor of justice, the savior who cares for the people at the bottom, the Messiah after the Messiah, I rely on, who wrote the manuscript and took you Blow to heaven!"
I squirmed out of bed, then squirmed to the sofa and lay down. The TV screen on the wall was broadcasting news station 54. The beautiful blonde host was sitting upright and reading the manuscript. The upper right corner of the screen was my avatar.
I actually thought that I would be on the news in the future-as a wanted criminal.
Speaking of which I have had this experience, the time I went to steal the Relic chip. Yoshinobu Arasaka of Dog Day slandered Jack and me as murderers, and then they were wanted throughout the city. The fat man Dexter panicked and betrayed me when he watched the news, really...
But now it's different. When everyone found out that I had become a candidate for mayor, I immediately became a celebrity, even more popular than the talk show host Stan. Hey, I like this feeling, big man, Jack followed me and became a big man. Jack’s mother, Mrs. Wells, and Lao Wei and Misty are all my campaign groups now-except for Lao Wei Nian. After college, the highest degree of the remaining people is a high school graduate, what a enthusiasm!
