After deploying the Marvin Robots, the empty and silent Black Star base finally gained a hint of life.
These Marvin Robots were constantly taking out building materials from their spatial storage devices and constructing buildings in the designated areas.
With the help of these Marvin Robots, it's believed the Black Star base will be successfully built in no time.
The construction of Black Star still requires some time, and Lisandra will help him oversee the construction progress of these Marvin Robots and assign them new tasks.
For the foreseeable future, Luoqi won't need to worry about matters in space.
Moving to the beacon, Luoqi activated it, located the base computer in the Ascension Technology laboratory, and activated the portal leading to the Ascension Technology laboratory.
The moment the portal activated, the scene before him shifted, and Luoqi was enveloped in a dreamlike green radiance.
After traveling through the dreamlike green tunnel for a while, the strange scene gradually faded, and Luoqi's normal vision returned, appearing in the Ascension Technology laboratory.
It was also Luoqi's first time using a portal, and this brand new experience felt novel to him.
And just as Luoqi successfully teleported back to the laboratory, a plump, unidentified object suddenly pounced on him.
It was Rebecca, who had been waiting in the laboratory for a long time.
"Are things in space finished?"
Rebecca, who had clung to Luoqi, asked in his ear.
Luoqi, who had just teleported back with a bewildered look, gazed at Rebecca in his arms, feeling a bit helpless.
"Mm, everything is set up. I'll be staying here for a while."
Naturally, Luoqi and Lucy's space trip was not kept a secret from Rebecca.
Rebecca knew this was Lucy's wish, so she chose not to disturb their trip.
But this wasn't without cost; Rebecca wouldn't completely indulge Lucy.
During the period after they completed their trip, Rebecca would legally enjoy exclusive rights to Luoqi.
It was clear that Rebecca wasn't very interested in space travel, so she was very satisfied with this arrangement.
And Lucy also gained a dream trip; it could be said that both of them got the results they wanted.
And Luoqi, caught in the vortex between the two, could naturally only abide by their agreement.
What made Luoqi slightly awkward was that they weren't the only two in the laboratory.
Lao Wei, the lab's 'native resident,' was still watching.
Fortunately, however, Rebecca knew Luoqi's personality and didn't choose to keep hanging on him, although she didn't really care about that.
And Lao Wei was also very familiar with Rebecca's temperament; he didn't show any emotional change, merely smiling as he asked Luoqi about the space base.
"How is it? Did things go smoothly up there? I assume you just used the portal device you mentioned."
Facing Lao Wei's question, Luoqi nodded.
"That's right, the portal worked smoothly. The Marvin Robots from the factory have already been teleported to the space station base."
"With those Marvin Robots, the base shouldn't take too long to build, but if you're interested, I could take you for a look first."
"No need, I'll wait until it's completed before going over. I'm really looking forward to that day."
"As for you, you should hurry and spend time with Rebecca. She bothered me quite a bit while you were in space."
Although Lao Wei was also very curious about what the space station base Luoqi mentioned was like, he wasn't an impatient person.
Clearly, Rebecca next to Luoqi was much more impatient than him.
"Exactly, exactly," Rebecca echoed.
"Alright, Lao Wei."
But just as Luoqi and Rebecca were preparing to leave the laboratory, Lisandra suddenly sent a message to Luoqi, causing him to pause.
A large number of netrunners were attempting to hack into Ascension Technology's primary server.
"What's wrong?" Rebecca noticed Luoqi's unusual behavior.
"It seems someone wants to interrupt our date, Rebecca."
Looking at the information provided by Lisandra, Luoqi saw a name on it that he really disliked.
"Ha! Who's so bold? If you ask me, changing the date theme to bloody slaughter is actually a good option, wouldn't you say, L, just like our first time on the motorcycle."
Knowing that someone was trying to interrupt their date, Rebecca seemed undeterred; after all, the date she wanted wasn't necessarily romantic or cozy.
As long as she was with Luoqi, whether it was fighting or anything else, it was all the same to her.
....
Night City.
Pacifica.
This area was rated by NCPD as having the highest danger level in Night City.
There were almost no tourists here, only rampant gangs and criminal activities.
Of course, Pacifica was actually a key planned resort destination in Night City.
Corporations planned to turn this place into a true paradise, offering unparalleled services, luxury hotels, and entertainment facilities for employees and tourists.
But all of this was shattered during the Unification War several years ago.
Due to fears that the New United States would invade Night City from Southern California, making Pacifica a battlefield.
The corporations that invested in Pacifica all chose to withdraw from the project.
And this was the starting point of Pacifica's decline.
Large numbers of unfinished, abandoned buildings were filled with homeless people and gang members.
Making this place a haven for crime.
Night City also attempted multiple times to restore normalcy to the area, but all ended in failure.
Finally, even NCPD had no choice but to abandon this area, allowing it to become a truly ungoverned riot zone.
Today, Pacifica has two main gangs.
One is the Animals, who advocate for physical strength.
The other is the Voodoo Boys, who lead the local Haitian community.
The Voodoo Boys are known for their excellent netrunning abilities and strange Voodoo religious characteristics.
Almost all members of the Voodoo Boys are netrunners.
They have always been dedicated to uncovering the secrets of the Old Net and releasing powerful AIs behind the Blackwall.
Evidently, unlike typical gangs, as a gang composed of netrunners,
their main source of income is hacking into the databases and accounts of major corporations, obtaining their top-secret data for blackmail or sale.
They disregard the rules set by Network Surveillance and run rampant on the Net without restraint; they can be said to be notorious throughout Night City.
And recently, they have set their sights on a brand new target.
That is Ascension Technology, which has been gaining significant momentum in Night City recently.
This corporation, which inexplicably appeared in Night City, quickly became the focus of attention for major companies.
It is believed that if its core secrets can be stolen, there will definitely be companies willing to pay a high price for it.
Especially Military Technology, which has been entangled with Ascension Technology recently.
