Chapter 11: The Best Product Promotional Video!
Li Ang withdrew his thoughts and discussed parts of his upcoming plans with Lucy.
Since he intended to collaborate with Lucy, the Mann Squad, and others in the long term, their goals needed to align. Otherwise, significant issues could arise.
Li Ang understood Lucy's desires quite well. This young woman wanted nothing more than to grow stronger and take brutal revenge on the Arasaka Corporation—to avenge herself, her family, and her partners.
In this regard, Li Ang could fully meet Lucy's expectations.
Soon, after hearing Li Ang's initial plan, even Lucy, who prided herself on being ruthless, couldn't help but admire his methods.
"Boss, it's a good thing you're not with Arasaka Corporation. Otherwise, I can't imagine what Night City's future would look like," Lucy remarked. She couldn't help but notice that Li Ang shared a striking similarity with Night City—both were mesmerizing and deadly.
Li Ang chuckled but didn't respond directly. Instead, he retrieved a brand-new piece of cyberware from the cabinet under the table and placed it in front of Lucy.
"This is a thermal monomolecular wire. Its craftsmanship and quality are far superior to the outdated version you're using. Find a ripperdoc to install it later."
"If you need immune suppressants, come to me. Our company has plenty of these trivial things—they're cheap and available in bulk."
Li Ang's casual remarks once again shattered Lucy's worldview. Her current monomolecular wire was the latest melee weapon from Kang Tao, with only a hundred units sold worldwide!
When Lucy saw Li Ang's thermal monomolecular wire, which was dozens of times superior to her version, she began to wonder if Li Ang secretly ran a counterfeit corporation of epic proportions.
The monomolecular wire was Kang Tao's flagship product, strictly controlled even in terms of production numbers. Yet, in Li Ang's eyes, it seemed like nothing more than a trinket to give away.
As for immune suppressants, they were essential for controlling cyberpsychosis, a must-have for mercenaries with cybernetic implants. These drugs were expensive and in constant demand.
Lucy wanted to thank Li Ang, but her natural pride made it difficult. She hesitated until her face turned red, then reluctantly muttered, "Thanks."
"We have plenty more to do," Li Ang said, hands in his pockets, as he assigned Lucy a few tasks. These were simple, essentially errands.
"Got it, boss. I'll take care of it," Lucy replied.

Two Days Later – Kabuki District
"Hello, corporate drones, nomads, and mercenaries of Night City! I'm your host, Stanley!"
"Listen closely—today, I've come to the Kabuki District. Do you know why? That's right, to have some fun!"
"Oh no, not that kind of fun. No braindance thrills or joy-toys here. I'm talking about heart-pounding, adrenaline-pumping firepower!"
Thanks to Li Ang's insider tip, radio host Stanley arrived at Tiger Claw territory, flanked by heavily armed mercenary bodyguards, and began an energetic livestream.
Bang!
As Stanley was enthusiastically explaining, a gunshot echoed not far behind him. Rather than being intimidated, Stanley's excitement only grew.
"Did you hear that? What a thrilling gunshot! That's the sound of Dogtown's weaponry! Or, more precisely, firearms from LA Corporation."
"What? You've never heard of this company? Well, neither had I! But in Night City, it's not uncommon for nobodies to rise to prominence overnight!"
"From now on, these kinetic and tech weapons will blow your minds. Watch closely, folks—see how inferior your previous gear really was!"
"I guarantee that after seeing this battle, you'll want to throw away your trash and grab these beauties immediately. Don't believe me? Just wait and see."

The gunfight in Kabuki District had begun.
Under Chen Tao's orders, the Triad launched another assault on the Tiger Claws, aiming to completely eliminate them from the Kabuki District.
The Watson District police were reluctant to intervene, opting to patrol residential areas briefly before waiting for morning cleanup. After all, it was just gang-on-gang violence—a daily occurrence in Night City—as long as no corporate property was damaged.
At the forefront of the battle, Triad members shouted profanities as they fired, while Tiger Claw members retaliated with curses like "baka" (idiot), though most of their cries devolved into agonized screams.
Even Stanley's livestream audience could faintly hear the chaotic gunfire and shouting.
Fearless, Stanley and his crew moved closer, capturing footage of kinetic bullets piercing a Tiger Claw's skull and ricocheting after the hit.
Blood mixed with brain matter oozed out, thrilling Night City's mercenaries watching from their screens.
"Hell yeah! That's how you deal with those Tiger Claw bastards—shoot them right in the head!"
"Are the Triad's weapons from Little China? That's odd. Did Militech set up shop in Watson?"
"I heard LA Corporation is a Chinese-run arms company. Looks like Night City's corporate world just got a new player."
"Cut the chatter! Take my money—just leave me the guns! I want every weapon they've got!"

The brutal firefight served as the perfect advertisement for kinetic and tech weapons. Night City's black-market arms dealers finally learned the true nature of Dogtown's weaponry.
For outlaws living on the edge, weapons were as beloved as cash. Shows like Guns & Steel were their entertainment of choice.
The program had been lacking fresh content for a while, but tonight, Stanley's broadcast filled the void with an explosive showcase of cutting-edge weaponry. Resistance was futile.
From the intense shooting experience to top-tier firepower and unique functionalities, these weapons felt like masterpieces forged by Satan himself.
Gun dealers watching from their shops were equally captivated. To them, every gunshot sounded like the jingle of coins dropping into their coffers.
If they could get their hands on these weapons and sell them elsewhere, they could easily triple their profits!

As the gunfight raged in Kabuki, mercenaries across Night City watched with bated breath. Meanwhile, in Little China, Li Ang turned off Stanley's broadcast.
He looked calmly at the arms dealers seated on either side of the long table and asked indifferently, "Gentlemen, are you satisfied with the promotional video for our company's products?"
