Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

"You have a new message."

In the hazy early morning, Tang Yu heard the voice prompts from the smart housekeeper.

So he yawned and rubbed his eyes, put on his portable communicator, then got up from the bed and walked into the bathroom.

[Trauma Group Medical Center: Dear Platinum Member.]

Standing in front of the smart screen mirror, Tang Yu checked the message while brushing his teeth and found that it was an electronic bill sent by the trauma team. It was the payment status of Gloria and David, mother and son, for hospitalization at the trauma team medical center.

It seems that they have been discharged from the hospital, and the cumulative expenses for medical treatment and hospitalization have reached 12,000 euros, which is not a small amount of money for them.

Then, he also saw the message Gloria left for him, relayed through the Trauma Team Medical Center. Platinum members' personal information would not be disclosed to other personnel without the customer's consent. At least, the rules were clearly followed.

Gloria fainted immediately after the car accident.

It was Tang Yu who carried her to the medical float vehicle and has not shown up since then, so Gloria didn't know exactly who saved her. She only knew that it was the people from Arasaka Company who saved their mother and son, so she thanked the news only. Can be relayed through the trauma team.

"Dear sir, hello, my name is Gloria."

"I'm really grateful for your help. My son David and I have now recovered and been discharged from the hospital. I have prepared the expenses for hospital treatment and thanks."

"Please add my personal phone number so that we can agree on thank you and repayment."

【Gloria Martinez ID】

Tang Yu guessed: "I have money to pay back now. It should be the money from selling the prosthetic body. I don't know if the goods have been handed over."

But Tang Yu didn't care at all whether the goods were sold, no matter who he sold them to, they would all fall into his hands in the end.

Gloria and David also don't have to pay for their treatment out of their own pockets. They will be reimbursed at Arasaka Company. They can just go to the finance department with electronic bills and evidence.

Through the authority of the Arasaka Counterintelligence Department, he retrieved Gloria's personal financial transactions from the Arasaka Company's internal financial network.

This is the result of the joint efforts of the Arasaka Company's Finance Department and the Internet Supervision Department. It can almost monitor the specific information of electronic account transactions of most individuals or small and medium-sized enterprises in Night City. Only M-level and above management have specific access rights.

People in Night City have long been accustomed to the company's overreaching behavior regarding privacy. After all, even the prosthetic finger they use is made by the company. If they want to get rid of the company's surveillance, even dead people can't do it.

Gloria's account showed that the transaction was completed the night before yesterday, three hours after the Cybermaniac was killed by the Terrorist Mobile Team.

"It seems that he sold it for 30,000 euros. He not only needs to repay his own treatment expenses, but also needs to compensate Arasaka College. There is still a huge gap in the amount."

So the addition of Gloria was confirmed, and the news was conveyed immediately.

Santo Domingo super skyscraper H4 apartment.

Gloria has just tied up her red ponytail and is preparing to clean up the remaining garbage at home.

David was still in a semi-conscious state, often talking to himself in his sleep, and kept mumbling about his mother.

This made Gloria's plan to go out to complete the late transaction and continue to find a new job come to naught. The buyer of the prosthetic body called her many times but did not receive it when she was in a coma after a car accident.

She is now in the same weak condition. In order not to incur more medical expenses, she can only reluctantly carry David out of the hospital and take him home to take care of him by herself. Now she feels particularly tired and embarrassed.

At this time, Gloria suddenly received a new message reminder.

[Tang Yu adds communication request]

She quickly arranged the broken hair around her ears, rolled the hair behind her ears, and then rubbed her pale cheeks.

After confirmation, Tang Yu's contact information was added to her interface.

Gloria knew that Tang Yu was from Arasaka Company, was equipped with a company limousine, and was a platinum member of the trauma team, and realized that his identity was definitely not simple.

I don't know whether it was because of the favor or because of envy of Arasaka's status as an employee. Gloria, who was about to call Tang Yu, felt that her emotions were a little ups and downs, and her cheeks were a little more red.

If it weren't for Tang Yu, the place where she and David would lie might not be at home, but in the municipal public morgue.

Having worked in a public medical center, she knew very well the fate of ordinary people who died on the streets.

After taking a few deep breaths, Gloria dialed Tang Yu's communication.

"Hello, I'm Tang Yu."

When Gloria heard the other party's voice, she was surprised to find that he was unexpectedly young. Perhaps it was because of her previous preconceived image of Tang Yu as a mid-to-high-level Arasaka employee, a man between forty and fifty years old sitting in a business car. Mature man.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Gloria realized that she had lost her temper and quickly replied.

"Hello Mr. Tang, my name is Gloria."

"You saved us on the highway that day. Thank you very much!"

"I will repay the treatment fee immediately. When it is convenient for you, David and I will visit you personally to express our gratitude!"

Tang Yu did not respond to the thank you, but asked: "Why were you discharged from the hospital so quickly? Is David awake too?"

Gloria quickly explained: "David is still a little weak and is resting. According to the doctor's advice, he will recover tomorrow."

Tang Yu: "I'll find you later."

When Gloria heard that Tang Yu was going to come to them directly, she quickly replied: "This, this, this is really too embarrassing. Just set a time and I will take David to visit you!"

Tang Yu: "I have something to talk to you about alone. Before that, just stay at home and take care of David, and put everything else aside. Do you understand?"

Gloria was confused. The other party wanted to talk to her alone about something, but she and he had no interaction before the car accident. It didn't sound like it was for money.

Almost subconsciously, she touched the prosthetic body Sianwei Stan stuck on the back of her coat. Has the other party already discovered the secret of her theft?

Gloria's heart, which had just escaped death, was once again raised in her throat.

In order to avoid tracing, she had submitted her resignation to the Emergency Department of Night City Public Medical Center, citing the car accident as the reason.

Did you see it in the news?

Gloria suddenly remembered that morning, David was very excited to point out on the TV news that he was on the news camera, and he was in front of the cart carrying the body of the cyber madman.

This is a fatal hazard!

Gloria seemed a little uneasy, but she didn't dare to ask Tang Yu's true intentions rashly. She looked at David, who was still lying weakly on the bed, and was thinking about something.

Where can he escape if he is targeted by the company? If Tang Yu really wants to seize this prosthetic body, he will receive the buyer's money but cannot deliver the goods, and the consequences of offending those cyberpunks will be equally miserable.

It seemed that there had been no reply for too long, and Gloria heard Tang Yu continue.

"Don't be nervous, I know you have the stuff."

Gloria's heart skipped a beat. This was her deepest secret. Not even David had told her.

Tang Yu continued: "But what I want is not a prosthetic body, but I want to negotiate a deal with you. The dogs who really want that thing are smelling everywhere outside. Just stay at home as I say."

Gloria's hanging heart was not relieved, so she had to respond first: "I understand, Mr. Tang."

After hanging up the phone, Gloria took out the prosthetic body from her back and put it on the table. At this moment, there was no need to hide it anymore. She would either give it to Tang Yu or the buyer. No matter who she gave it to, she They all feel that it is difficult for them to achieve a good result.

Now she just hopes that this matter will not involve David.
