On the streets of Night City.
Luoqi, coming from Pacifica, was driving a delorean, carrying Miss Rebecca and navigating through the roads.
In the passenger seat, Miss Rebecca was trying to talk to Jarvis.
"Hey, Jarvis."
"I am here, Miss Rebecca. What can I do for you?"
"Hoho, quite proactive, aren't you? You seem much more enthusiastic than that Lisandra fellow. I'm tired of talking to that cold guy all day. Every time I look for her, it's either there's a mission here or something's happening there."
Coming out of the Voodoo Boys base, Miss Rebecca's mood became beautiful again, casually chatting with the new AI.
And Jarvis wasn't quite daring to delve deeper into the topic Miss Rebecca threw out.
After all, he was only acting as a temporary manager. He could imagine what a terrifying existence Lisandra would become after she completed her evolution and returned.
As an AI himself, he didn't dare to gossip behind her back like Miss Rebecca, and could only laugh it off.
"Every intelligent life has different personality consciousnesses, which is a normal phenomenon..."
And just as the two people and one AI in the car were still chatting comfortably.
Intense gunfire suddenly erupted from behind the vehicle.
This was the beautiful Night City, a situation that could happen at any time on the road, which was more than normal.
However, the not-so-good news was that the sound of gunfire was getting louder and louder, and the battlefield seemed to be getting closer to Luoqi's vehicle.
Looking behind, several gang vehicles were Siege a moving vehicle.
The vehicle had a large Delamain logo, clearly a taxi from the Delamain transportation service company.
Delamain was originally an ordinary taxi company in Night City.
However, due to the terrible public security environment and the unreliability of human drivers in Night City, the company received a large number of complaints, and its business situation took a sharp downturn.
But on one occasion, Delamain unexpectedly found a way to solve the company's current situation from artificial intelligence.
Delamain collaborated with an artificial intelligence company in Night City, introduced an AI that could be used to drive cars from them, and named it Delamain.
Under the leadership of Delamain, the company's difficulties were successfully resolved and its operations became better and better.
And as the company management realized that using Delamain to operate the company could reduce a lot of costs and also provide better service, large numbers of company employees were laid off.
Finally, the entire company was left with only the management and this artificial intelligence Delamain who had been helping them run the company.
But what these managers could never have imagined was that Delamain had been continuously learning and self-evolving through one business management after another, becoming an artificial intelligence with thought and beyond control.
Finally, Delamain acquired all of Delamain's shares through secret operations, completely driving these managers out of the company as well.
From then on, Delamain became a company completely managed and operated by artificial intelligence.
Delamain also successfully completed independent operation and gained a foothold in Night City by relying on the company's automated repair workshop and powerful driving AI, as well as the business philosophy of prioritizing passenger safety and experience.
Although Delamain, as an artificial intelligence, could not legally hold the company's equity and ownership.
However, due to the high-quality service the company could provide, it was not troubled by the various forces in Night City, but gradually developed into a famous transportation service company in Night City.
And the scene of this taxi being chased and killed perfectly demonstrated the safety that Delamain's transportation service could provide.
This Delamain customized taxi, jointly built by Velof Automobile Manufacturing Company and Military Technology, not only has a high-strength protective body.
The vehicle is also equipped with automated offensive weapons, which can legally counterattack enemies who threaten passenger safety when the passenger purchases the 'Striving for Excellence' package.
Facing the fierce attack from several gang members, the passengers inside the Delamain vehicle not only did not receive any harm, but the weapons mounted on it inflicted fatal blows on multiple gang members.
It was clear that these gang members were not very lucky, encountering a target who had purchased the 'Striving for Excellence' package.
In the car on the other side, Miss Rebecca looked at the intense crossfire between the two sides and said teasingly.
"Delamain, that company with the blue-lipped AI, right? A company with only an AI, that's really rare."
"Indeed, this is a unique existence in the entire Night City. Perhaps this can only be blamed on Delamain's original management for neglecting the AI's self-evolution ability."
Seeing Miss Rebecca deliberately change the subject, Jarvis immediately took over her conversation.
However, what Jarvis didn't expect was that Miss Rebecca's next question was even sharper.
"What about you, Jarvis? You are also managing our company now, which is quite similar to the old Delamain. You won't turn into him, will you?"
"Miss Rebecca doesn't need to worry. Although I will also continuously learn and evolve, my core protocol, being loyal to Mr. L, will never change," Jarvis answered without hesitation.
In a sense, Ascension Technology is indeed very similar to the former Delamain company, except for the core management and key human positions, everything else is managed and operated by AI.
But unlike Delamain which used AI on a large scale out of greed for its low cost and high efficiency, and gave it great autonomy.
Ascension Technology used AI because of a large amount of confidential technology, which made it impossible for Luoqi to trust most humans.
Of course, the most crucial point is that under the influence of the system, these AIs can guarantee complete loyalty to him, otherwise Luoqi would absolutely not use AI on such a large scale.
After all, allowing AI to evolve highly autonomously is an extremely terrifying thing.
"Haha, alright Jarvis, I think highly of you. But if you ask me, AI doesn't seem to need to make that much money, so what is he working so hard to run Delamain for?"
"That's unknown. Perhaps in one evolution after another, he has made developing Delamain his most core mission goal, just like a human's ideal."
At this moment, Luoqi, who had been silently listening to Jarvis and Miss Rebecca's conversation, spoke.
"That's an interesting question, but I think if you want to know, why not just ask Lao De and see what he says."
Luoqi also had a good impression and curiosity about this AI who had helped him many times in the game.
Even when doing gigs in Night City before, Luoqi had used Delamain's service, and it was indeed a very good transportation service company.
Now from the perspective of a company, Luoqi felt that Ascension Technology had a lot of room for cooperation with Delamain.
And cooperating with AI might be more comfortable than cooperating with general companies.
The escalating conflict between the Delamain taxi and the gang enemies quickly reached the vicinity of Luoqi's delorean.
Other vehicles along the way quickly dodged.
Although Delamain had insurance to compensate for losses caused by battles on the road, ordinary people would not choose to joke with their lives.
What's more, insurance only covers losses at most, and there will be no extra compensation.
But even though passersby were dodging, the delorean driven by Luoqi was still driving normally.
As expected, the combat zone went straight through the delorean, and many bullets inevitably hit the delorean. The Delamain taxi also inevitably had some collision with the delorean.
However, the firepower from both sides did not pose a threat to the delorean, and Luoqi was too lazy to pay attention to them.
It was just a good opportunity to talk to Lao De about cooperation when claiming compensation from him.
After the Delamain taxi gradually moved away and the gang members were killed one by one, the street drama finally came to an end.
Luoqi also continued driving on the road with Miss Rebecca.
However, today Luoqi did not take her back to the company, but went to another place.
