Chapter 302 Mewtwo Begins Filming

(Something big happened at work today, so I didn’t get home until 10:30, so today I’m combining two chapters into one.)

"Nothing. I just want you to help me find some shady things that military technology is doing. I need it urgently. Aren't you looking for trouble with military technology? Then I'll help you share some of the burden." Ling Luxuan replied lightly.

Arasaka Yorinobu is plotting a conspiracy against military technology? Rachel couldn't believe her ears. She actually heard such confidential information.

Come to think of it, his old father was killed by military technology. Even if it is not for the sake of family affection, in order to stabilize the internal situation, he has to find some trouble with military technology.

But Rachel didn't want to get involved in this mess, as it might result in death. She immediately lowered her head and pretended she heard nothing.

Arasaka Yorinobu glanced at the environment around Ling Luxian and said nothing more. Since he could tell these people about his plan, he must be his confidant.

Since Ling Luxian wanted to cause trouble for military technology, then Arasaka Yoriyuki had to help them out anyway. Arasaka Yoriyuki immediately told Ling Luxian some of the information he had found about military technology in the past few days.

"Military Technology has a team that frequently does business with gang members. You'll have to find out what kind of deals they're making yourself."

"Thanks, brother. That's it. I'll let you know if there's any follow-up result."

Ling Luxian gave Arasaka Yorinobu a seductive look, which made Arasaka Yorinobu feel very disgusted.

After hanging up the phone, Ling Luxian said to Rachel, "Isn't the big scene coming?"

Rachel lowered her head, knowing that she shouldn't ask about this matter, and she regretted agreeing to contact Ling Luxian. If she had known that it would involve two major companies and the secret competition, she would not have stepped into this quagmire.

The Sword in the Stone? Just give it away for free. It's better than having your studio wiped out. Why would you join in the fun when the gods are fighting?

Not to mention, if Militech really got into a scandal, and he sold Mewtwo himself, were he afraid that Militech would retaliate?

Rachel said in embarrassment: "How about we solve the Mewtwo issue internally and not bother you? As for the Sword in the Stone, it's just a gift for you."

Rachel was trying to pass the buck, fearing that the trouble would befall her.

Ling Lu bared his big white teeth and said, "It's already this late. Don't you think it's a little late for Ms. Rachel to say this? I've already talked to Lai Xuanjun. Aren't you asking me to go back on my word?"

It would be more accurate to say that Ling Luxian was threatening rather than asking.

Rachel had heard this secret, how could she get away with it?

Rachel gritted her teeth. Since she couldn't get rid of it, she had no choice but to go all the way.

"I was just joking. Of course our cooperation will continue. Hehe~"

Rachel smiled guiltily, holding her right arm with her left hand, feeling a little overwhelmed. The midfield was all about military technology, so she didn't even dare to imagine what the final scene would be like.

"So how do you think we should end this?"

Ling Luxian glanced at Panam and asked, "As the heroine, what do you think?"

"Me?" Panam pointed at his nose. "I don't have any idea about the filming of Mewtwo. I'm just joining in the fun." Panam answered after thinking for a moment.

"Oh, okay."

Then Ling Luxian roughly knew how to deal with Panam. Bats... The main attraction of Black Shadow is Black Shadow himself, and women are just some embellishments.

"Let's do it this way. The character played by Panam is childhood sweethearts with Black Shadow. They grew up together, and she eventually became a female police officer who hated evil. Adding a love scene is just a bonus.

As for the subsequent ending, it doesn’t need a big scene. To become a superhero, Black Shadow needs a mentor to guide him. The final villain can be Black Shadow’s mentor. "

Ling Luxian paused. If Panam was asked to play a vase, she might not be very happy. So let's integrate the plot of The Dark Knight into it.

"As Black Shadow's mentor, he knew Black Shadow's true colors and would not act rashly. Instead, he captured Cassidy and Panam and asked Black Shadow to choose one to save in order to torture his will.

As for the final big scene, let's blow up the Night City rail transit. For the studio, this kind of scene should not be too difficult to simulate, right?"

Returning to the topic that Rachel was good at, and hearing that Ling Luxian was not going to do anything big, Rachel finally perked up.

She pinched her chin and replied, "It's really not that difficult. Now all kinds of scenes can be simulated, but the data cannot simulate the emotions yet.

If it weren't for this, Mewtwo wouldn't need a human to perform long ago, which would save trouble.

Then, I knew how the plot would go. Black Shadow chose Cassidy for justice, and Ms. Panam was ruthlessly killed by the villain. "

"No, no, no." Ling Luxian shook his finger. "This is too inhumane. Sombra chose Panam. It's just that the location the villain mentioned was wrong. In the end, it was Cassidy who was rescued."

Rachel's eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, Ling Luxian had even thought about human nature. Indeed, the protagonist who was too great and righteous was a little false and empty. A few flaws made him more valuable.

Ling Luxian added: "Saving Cassidy doesn't need to be perfect, you can disfigure her or something. Add to that the tragic death of his colleagues and the temptation of the villain, and it's not impossible for him to degenerate into the villain of the second part!

How about it? I have already thought of the plot for the second part for you. Are you touched?"

Touched? Rachel didn't dare to move! The first part was so big, how could she dare to think about the second part. She just hoped that military technology would not cause trouble in the end, or climb to the top of Arasaka.

However, Rachel felt that this was not going to work. Everyone knew that WNS was the mouthpiece of Arasaka. The business scope of WNS overlapped with her company, so Arasaka might not keep her company.

Rachel also thought it through. Whatever, if the company was gone, it was gone. She wasn't the boss, why should she worry about it? A working ox and a horse, why should she care about the survival of the company?

As long as she can establish a good relationship with Ling Luxian, then maybe Rachel will be able to enter WNS and become a member of Arasaka.

"Thank you in advance, Mr. Iron Pilot. I believe that with your joining, Mewtwo will be a big seller." Rachel thanked Ling Luxian with a smile.

"Then let's get started now, shall we?"

In terms of literary drama, Ling Luxian only provides an idea. When the script is revised, reshoots will be done.

As for the fighting scenes, let's start shooting now and finish them sooner rather than later.

It is better to have less trouble than more. Ling Luxian is afraid of trouble. This time he cooperated with Rachel just for the Excalibur.

He could have gotten it for free, but who asked Ling Lu to be kind to him? Alas, this damn compassion is too rampant.

"So, what do you think of the villains in the early stages?"

Ling Luxian thought about it and realized that the Valentino Gang were his relatives and friends, the Six Street Gang were his brothers, and the Mox Gang were his good sisters, so he could not attack them.

The scavengers and nightwalkers are too low-class, and the animal gang is a bunch of idiots. We just ended the conflict with the Tiger Claw Gang, and we have to give some face to Wakako.

Alas, then we can only suffer a little more. Sweetness first leads to sweetness later.

"Then let's go with the Whirlpool Gang. As a local force born and bred in Night City, it's time for them to make their own contribution to Night City."

"Then it's all up to you."

Ling Luxian picked up the handkerchief and wiped his mouth. "Thank you Miss Rachel for your hospitality today. Let's go first."

Rachel waved her hand, "You're so polite. I'll take you there."

Just as she was about to stand up, Ling Lu pushed her back into the chair.

Ling Luxian patted her shoulder and said, "Don't be busy. Look, we've been eating here for most of the day, and you haven't even touched your knife and fork. You must be hungry. We don't need to serve you. Enjoy your meal."

Rachel looked at the huge table of food, it was true. Fortunately, they had separate meals, otherwise she would have to eat leftovers.

She thought about leaving like this, but she felt a little sad. The meal was not paid for by the company, but by her own pocket, and it was in the French Bistro, which was famous for its high-end luxury. Rachel had no choice but to sit down and savor the food here.

After leaving the restaurant, Panam asked, "You seem to have a bad attitude towards Rachel. Do you hate her?"

Ling Lu flicked the nonexistent dust off his shoulder and said, "I don't hate her, I just don't like her. I want to give her a warning. This woman is too utilitarian. She needs to be punished. What are your plans today?"

"I don't care, just go around and have a look." Panam shrugged.

Thor said, "I still have to deal with family matters, so I won't stay here any longer."

"I'll take a look around too. Just don't slack off when we're shooting Mewtwo." Cassidy said, adjusting his cowboy hat.

Ling Luxian looked at Cassidy and said, "Just stay like this and act yourself. Perhaps I should give you a cigar?"

"That's great." Cassidy said with a smile, "I never thought that a poor guy like me would be able to smoke a cigar one day."

Thor was speechless. He came here with a group of four people, but went back alone.

"Well, have fun."

After Sol left, Ling Luxian asked, "Is there anywhere you guys particularly want to go?"

"This is not."

It hasn't been long since Panam left Adecado to work on his own, and he has been working in the Badlands most of the time, so he doesn't know Night City well enough.

Cassidy is even more so. The people of Night City exclude homeless people, so Cassidy is not very friendly to the people in Night City. He prefers Texas to Night City.

Except for delivering goods or executing commissions, they will stay in Night City for a while, and most of the time they stay in the camp.

"Then let's talk to Lao Wei first and see if he has any way to increase your reaction speed without installing prosthetics."

"Who is Old Wei?" Cassidy asked.

"Oh, I haven't introduced him to you yet." Ling Luxian said, "Old Victor's full name is Victor Victor. He is the most awesome cyborg doctor in Night City. He is absolutely reliable. You will know when you meet him."

Cassidy looked at Panam.

Panam shrugged and said, "I have no problem with that."

When they came to Misty's street, they heard people talking about vampires, werewolves and so on.

Ling Luxian didn't need to look into the alley to know that it was our prophet Gary, the poor homeless man.

An artificial body was implanted in his brain by accident, which enabled him to receive some relatively secret information. However, since he did not understand the meaning of the information, Gary himself was also confused.

So he narrated the information he got from his mind based on his own understanding.

Ling Luxian also felt that this was a good opportunity that could lead to the transaction between the Whirlpool Gang and the company, so he turned on the recording function of the prosthesis.

"They ride trucks through the wilderness, yes! But when the moon is full, they shed their human masks.

You want to ask me what is hidden under the mask? Lizard man? My answer is, wrong! It’s not a lizard man, it’s a werewolf! "

"Hey!" Panam shouted, "I can't pretend I didn't hear you!"

The prophet Gary was implying the Rangers, and as a member of the Rangers, Panam had to prove himself. Even the usually calm Cassidy had a hint of displeasure on his face.

Although Panam was furious, he had no intention of hitting him. However, the prophet Gary was afraid and put his hands in front of him in a defensive posture. Now he was spreading these things and was afraid of being beaten by the gangsters passing by on the street.

Ling Luxian patted Panam's arm and said, "Forget it. Why bother a madman?"

Panam took one look at the ragged Prophet Gary, and his anger subsided a lot.

"You'd better be careful. Others are not as easy to talk to as I am."

Ling Luxian took out a stack of Euros from his pocket, handed it to the prophet Gary, and said, "Take this money and repair the prosthesis in your brain."

Prophet Gary took the euros with both hands and said, "Thank you, kind man. Even though you don't believe me, I will still use this money to do something good."

"No, I believe you. Even though what you say is a little crazy, there is some truth in it."

Panam crossed his arms and looked at Ling Luxian without interrupting her, thinking that Ling Luxian was comforting the beggar. Looking at Gary's crazy appearance, he was really pitiful.

"Ah! You have a pair of eyes that can see through the fog. The cause of saving humanity depends on you. Tonight, at the old factory in Kabuki District, they have something important to exchange.

Follow them, seize this Alpha Centauri artifact, and you will understand everything."

"Okay, I'll keep it in mind." Ling Lu replied.

"It can't be too early or too late. The fate of mankind rests on your shoulders."

After talking with Gary, Ling Luxian took Panam and the others directly to Victor's clinic.

Victor gave Cassidy a bottle of medicine and told Cassidy the precautions.

"This medicine can increase the speed of nerve reactions and speed up mental calculations. Although it is non-addictive, it will increase the burden on the nerves. If you want to use it, you have to use it sparingly."

Cassidy held the bottle of medicine and said, "Don't worry, it's just for temporary use. I won't use it more."

"Now that we have the medicine, let's go to the place Gary mentioned first." Ling Luxian said to Victor, "Old Victor, we have something else to do. We'll talk to you later."

"It's okay, kid, remember to be safe." Victor didn't complain about Ling Luxian coming and leaving. He just looked at Ling Luxian's back and reminded him to pay attention to his own safety.
