Me, a tech genius: Pay up! I’ll hack your family’s conglomerate!
Conglomerate A: “What makes a worthless L1 citizen think they can take me on?”
Me (Ling Ri): “The fact that I can make your family’s 300-billion-strong orbital defense system livestream itself singing ‘Good Luck Is Coming.’”
Conglomerate B: “I’ll give you a hundred million. Leave my daughter alone!”
Me (Ling Ri): “That’s not enough. Who do you think you are? Add another zero, and I’ll hack your rival company’s space-based weapons as a free bonus.”
In this cyberpunk world of rigid class divisions, they have money and power, while I… have just a tiny bit of outdated tech and a very convincing way with words.
