The legendary deeds of Warwick still continued in Night City.
Nobody knew where it came from.
The NCPD also chose not to waste financial and human resources to provoke such a terrifying existence.
While other companies in Night City were extremely curious about this guy who had recently turned everything upside down.
Most of them remained in a wait-and-see state.
The first to lose patience and act was Military Technology.
Military Technology set up a large number of armed forces in ambush near a Scavenger stronghold.
In the end, Warwick arrived at this Scavenger stronghold as they wished, entering their encirclement.
But the people from Military Technology seemed not to have clearly recognized the horror of this monster.
Even though they dispatched their most elite team, facing this killing machine, they were still defeated.
Even the top hackers had no way to break through its network defenses, and couldn't even parse its system.
Having lost their advantage in the network aspect, it was the same on the physical level.
Military Technology used their most advanced destructive weapons, but still couldn't penetrate its defenses.
Instead, their thick and solid armor defenses were easily torn apart like tofu under Warwick's sharp claws.
Military Technology lost terribly in this battle, just like when they faced Cyberpunk not long ago.
Even more powerless than before.
And after this incident, Warwick was no longer just hunting Scavengers.
Occasionally, it would also attack Military Technology's troops, and had even broken into their industrial park, leaving freely after a massacre.
For a time, the entire Night City was shaken.
After all, dealing with those Scavengers and gang members was completely different from dealing with Military Technology.
It was also from this time that the people of Night City truly recognized Warwick's terrifying combat power.
Throughout the entire underground mercenary world, rumors began to spread about this unknown, powerful creature that resembled both man and wolf.
Warwick had clearly become a true legend of terror in Night City.
And after the incident where Warwick attacked Military Technology, Warwick's origins also became even more confusing and shrouded in mist.
Military Technology: "Good for you, Arasaka, this thing is indeed your masterpiece. Otherwise, how could it be chasing and attacking us?
Wasn't one round of Cyberpunk attacking us not enough before? Now you're releasing such a terrifying monster to target us. This is going too far, I will never coexist with you."
Arasaka: "What? This thing went to deal with Military Technology? I thought this thing was released by Military Technology.
Good, good. I was originally afraid that just as we finished creating Cyberpunk, you would bring out such a terrifying monster. It seems it was a false alarm.
But I didn't expect it. Kang Tao, you've been hiding so deep, you've even created armed experimental subjects of this level. It seems I underestimated you."
Kang Tao: "O.o?"
...
The appearance of Warwick attracted the attention of the major corporations in Night City.
It also slowed down Military Technology's targeting of Ascension Technology.
With significantly reduced pressure, Ascension Technology once again entered a stage of stable development.
....
Three months later.
Edge of Chengbei Industrial Zone.
Ascension Technology Spaceport.
This was the latest space base expanded by Ascension Technology.
As for this new trick Ascension Technology came up with.
The citizens and corporations of Night City were already used to it.
They were just a little surprised that Ascension Technology had actually achieved what was mentioned in the press conference.
Although so far they hadn't seen Ascension Technology produce any results.
But perhaps Ascension Technology was just foolish and rich; since it wasn't their money being spent, they were naturally happy to watch Ascension Technology's spectacle.
After all, Ascension Technology and Arasaka were cooperating very closely now, and having secured a large number of orders from Arasaka, it was not an exaggeration to say they were rolling in money.
As for Ascension Technology's crazy expansion into other fields, Arasaka didn't say anything.
Let them make a fuss, as long as Arasaka got the serum, Ascension Technology could do whatever it wanted.
If they wanted to build robots, then build them.
If they wanted to be astronauts, then be them.
In the past few months, Arasaka had completely suppressed Military Technology with the serum.
As for this important ally, as long as he didn't mess up and go bankrupt, Arasaka was too lazy to bother with him.
After all, in Arasaka's view, everything Ascension Technology did was just small-scale dabbling.
An enterprise without corresponding experience expanding into multiple fields simultaneously would most likely end up with nothing to show for it.
And this was exactly in Arasaka's interest.
Waiting until Ascension Technology suffered setbacks in these areas or even affected the company's foundation.
Arasaka could then use the struggling Ascension Technology to gain further benefits and seek greater initiative in this cooperation.
Therefore, facing this partner who loved to mess around, Arasaka fully supported their actions.
They even publicly praised Ascension Technology in the media as a highly innovative and creative enterprise.
Hoping they would continue to move forward, constantly working towards the company's goals, and develop into a comprehensive technology enterprise.
To outsiders, this was a scene of friendly exchange and mutual support between cooperating companies.
Everyone lamented Arasaka's emphasis on this ally.
But Arasaka and Ascension Technology, who were at the center of this incident, both knew the truth.
Arasaka said a lot of supportive words, but secretly didn't provide even a little actual support.
As a truly top-tier technology company, Arasaka was a world-class entity in both the robotics and aerospace fields.
Yet, they never provided Ascension Technology with technical support in these two areas.
In short, I say I support you, but in reality, I can't wait for you to fail in these areas.
The more miserable the failure, the better.
Of course, although Arasaka hoped Ascension Technology would achieve nothing in these areas, they didn't deliberately sabotage Ascension Technology's development.
After all, Arasaka was still very dependent on Ascension Technology, at least until they got the formula.
Therefore, Ascension Technology was also able to develop with peace of mind in these areas.
What Arasaka probably didn't expect was that Ascension Technology didn't need their support at all.
It could even be said that Ascension Technology's technology in this area was already leagues ahead of Arasaka.
...
The perspective returns to the Ascension Technology Spaceport.
The spaceport had just been completed recently, but the entire spaceport had already become very lively.
One after another, Marvin Robots constantly shuttled through the spaceport, bringing a different kind of vitality to it.
Luoqi arrived here, accompanied by Lucy.
The two walked leisurely on this brand new Ascension Technology building.
"How is it? This spaceport." Luoqi turned his head and asked Lucy.
