In front of the weapons depot inside the base.

The base personnel leading the way walked over quickly with their heads down, deftly unlocked the access control, and then immediately activated the equipment in the armory, avoiding Lin Feng and the Taoist's sight and making room for them.

A surge of electricity rang out, and lights came on one by one, instantly illuminating the dark armory and displaying rows of dazzling weapons in front of the two.

From pistols to sniper rifles, from hand grenades to man-portable mines, there were several boxes of rockets with automatically opening lids, ten unactivated tactical robotic dogs, and two robots waiting in the innermost part.

"Whatever, what if we asked for a nuclear bomb? Would they give it to us too?" The Taoist priest stood in the center of the armory, unable to contain his thoughts.

"No." Lin Feng said as he walked to the two robots, stopped, and picked up the control panel on the table to the side.

The panel lit up, displaying the robot's data. Then, the robot, which had been in standby mode, was activated, and the indicator light on its head began to flash.

"Ironclad 1R-0Nc-LAd-99 is activating..."

"Commander authorized, number."

"Commander authorized, Shizang."

"Hello, Commander, this is Ironclad 99 at your service."

The indicator lights on the robot's face turned blue, emitting a faint, hazy glow, much like the emotional tone of Iron Man 99's voice, unconsciously giving listeners the illusion of communicating with an intelligent life form.

Lin Feng did not answer. After glancing at it, he browsed the built-in data of Ironclad 99 on the control panel.

It features a basic anthropomorphic AI, is equipped with commonly used tactical commands, is proficient in all weapon operations, and has built-in energy that can support up to 10 days of continuous combat.

On the other side, the Taoist priest kept a close eye on the mechanical dog in front of him. After activating it by picking up the control panel, he started playing with it as if he were just teasing a dog.

Lin Feng put down the robot's control panel and turned to pick up the control panel of another robot dog.

They have the same basic configuration, but the tactical commands for the hound-type and the tactical commands for the robot are different, and their weapon operating systems are also completely different.

The mechanical dog's tactical commands lean towards concealment and ambush. Its main focus is to disrupt the enemy, reduce their combat power at all costs, and create opportunities for others.

What's most surprising is that there's also a small drone inside this robotic dog.

After checking these, Lin Feng walked towards the weapon station. Apart from the eye-catching heavy sniper rifles, only the familiar Eight-Star Gun made him linger for a few more seconds.

For ordinary people, weapons that would take a lot of time, or even a lifetime, to acquire, are simply available for them to choose from, and there's more than one of them.

There were five eight-star guns on the table, and rows and rows of smaller, more advanced weapons and smart weapons.

After reviewing everything, Lin Feng quickly selected some suitable weapons, including the Yinglong intelligent submachine gun, and also grabbed a box of ammunition, which he then put into his spatial ring.

He then picked up two eight-star guns and a box of ammunition and threw them in.

He was indeed unable to use the Eight-Star Gun with his strength, but that didn't stop him from emptying the magazine while holding the Eight-Star Gun in a life-or-death situation.

The Taoist priest was even more direct. Seeing that Lin Feng had finished making his selections, he grinned and put the remaining weapons into his spatial ring.

Lin Feng had initially guessed that the Taoist's spatial ring was quite large, and now, upon closer inspection, he realized that the Taoist's ring contained at least three times the size of his own.

Turning his envious gaze away, Lin Feng returned to the robot armor 99, picked up the control panel, and handed over the eight-star gun he had just received.

Ironclad 99 took the weapon, and the control panel immediately displayed a basic combat plan—a hardcore combat plan perfectly suited to robot warfare. These machines, designed to replace humans in combat, are completely unaffected by wear and tear, and given the tendency to defend against AI intrusion, elite formation is virtually impossible.

The only thing Lin Feng thought was feasible was the data of Ironclad 99 itself. Its body weight was close to several times that of an adult, and its strength was several times greater than that of an adult male.

Giving him an eight-star gun would be a bit of a waste.

Analogous to the original game, excluding flexibility, even if V had all his attribute points maxed out, he wouldn't be much better than a robot, and these are just the average level of the company's elites.

Eight-Star Smart Shotgun, Defender Heavy Machine Gun, RT-46 Storm Technology Revolver, Cat-Touch Technology Sniper Rifle, Smoke Grenades, Stun Grenades, Incendiary Grenades, Pulse Grenades, Biohazard Grenades...

Lin Feng piloted the Ironclad 99 to complete an armor self-check and returned to the standby cabin.

He then stuffed a mechanical dog under Ironclad 99's feet, patted his belt, and tossed it into his spare cabinet, also putting it into his game inventory.

At this point, the game equipment slot on his wrist was empty. To witness the "friendship" between him and Miriam Knight, and as an "investment" in his optimism about the future of the Night Corporation, he lent the item slot on his wrist to her for research.

Miriam Knight had long coveted his and the Taoist's ability to produce things with a mere gesture; it was something beyond the technology of this world, far more precious than ghosts and parasites.

In return, Miriam Knight is providing them with even more support free of charge, building on the current partnership.

After tidying everything up, Lin Feng sat on the empty boxes and recalled the information he had just received from Miriam Knight: "Only Arasaka in the entire Night City has a complete electronic ghost generation device. To find the electronic ghost, we must enter the Arasaka underground core."

"The Taoist priest's mission is complete; the truth behind the chaos on the streets is just a joke between companies..."

"The legend of the electronic ghost in Night City is Arasaka's most touching joke."

The electronic ghost developed by Arasaka is an unstable, high-energy entity. After being removed from its stabilizing device, it will show signs of disintegration in about ten minutes, followed by a large-scale high-energy explosion.

All the areas where high-energy explosions occurred were facilities belonging to Arasaka's enemies.

"Taoist priest, do you like gold?"

Lin Feng's eyes flickered, and he was about to speak when the two assault rifles the Taoist priest was carrying vanished. His deep voice trailed off, sounding troubled: "I like it~ Of course I like it. I happen to be missing a golden Buddha statue, but... I'm a little tired today..."

"However, going out for a stroll isn't a bad idea..."

Don't want to go anymore?

Lin Feng didn't understand. Wasn't this guy always yelling that he wanted to go out and cause trouble?

"The news of the attack on the Whirlpool Gang should have reached Arasaka's ears. If I'm not mistaken, they've already sent people to search for us everywhere. So at this time, there will be very few people in Lizhi and Laisheng."

Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest nodded seriously, but quickly shook his head again: "Whatever, it's not impossible, but how about we get home before 12 o'clock? Look at the time, there are less than 3 hours left, and I want to go to bed early tonight."

Huh? Lin Feng was surprised.

"Look at today..." The Taoist priest's eyes darted around, unable to withstand Lin Feng's gaze any longer, and he honestly said, "I just did a divination, and it's not a good day to travel tomorrow. After 12 o'clock, it's still..."
