Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

Chapter 17 Deadly Cooperation

Tang Yu, Mann and others left Gloria's apartment.

Pyrrha, who was left behind by Mann, opened the apartment door and muttered to herself.

"For me, who is familiar with the manufacturing of various weapons and equipment."

"Taomen is not a difficult matter."

"I should be able to do it in three minutes."

"Look, it's fixed!"

Pyrrha stood outside the door, hurriedly putting the apartment door together, and then took the opportunity to escape in the blink of an eye.

The gate didn't hold up for two seconds before it collapsed and hit the ground heavily, and Pyrrha's voice echoed in the dark corridor.

"I'm sorry, I just don't have the tools at hand. If you still want to pay for repairs, remember to ask Rebecca!"

Gloria looked at the messy apartment, touched her forehead, and frowned slightly helplessly.

David, who had been standing at the bedroom door, suddenly asked: "They left, is the trouble solved?"

Gloria then turned her attention to David, who had just woken up from a coma, walked over and helped David back to the bedroom to rest, and then said with a forced smile.

"It's okay. The trouble will be solved. You have a good rest. I will ask for leave from the college tomorrow."

David looked at his mother's haggard face and remembered that almost every morning she would fall asleep on the sofa from exhaustion. He remembered her humble pleas in front of the principal to raise tuition fees. He remembered her first time because she didn't want to go to school. shed tears.

He felt like he had changed since that real dream.

He has always felt that it was his mother who forced him to go to Arasaka Academy, and it was his mother who forced him to join Arasaka Tower and climb up. It was his mother who forced him to regard her dream as his own.

But in fact, what really forces oneself is poverty and hardship, as well as one's own weakness and powerlessness.

The mother just wants to have a bright and visible future for herself, and the only person with such a selfless dream is her mother.

David, who had thought through a lot of things, said softly: "Mom, I'm fine. I'll go to Arasaka Academy to take classes tomorrow."

When Gloria heard that David took the initiative to say that he was going to Arasaka Academy to take classes, Gloria couldn't help feeling hot, so she had to gently cover David with the quilt.

"Well, have a good rest."

After saying that, Gloria walked out of the bedroom, tears welling up from the corners of her eyes. She raised her head and tried to take a deep breath to relieve her sadness and emotion. She hoped more than anyone else that David could have a carefree and beautiful youth. Look. When David's youthful temperament was worn away, the reality she faced made her feel more uncomfortable than anyone else, so she could only murmur silently.

"David, maybe you can truly pursue your dreams until you actually climb to the top of Arasaka Tower."

Gloria thought it might be survivor bias. When she saw that Tang Yu, who was not much older than David, had already reached the top management position of Arasaka Company, she felt that David could really become a person in the company like Tang Yu. Master.

"Mr. Tang's favor must be repaid no matter what. His future is really limitless."

Gloria clenched her fists, the dream in her heart never extinguished.

"If you're just talking about a deal, I'll leave first."

The tall woman in red leather clothes crossed her arms in front of her and said to Mann as she walked.

Mann's thick voice was slightly apologetic: "Well, Qiwei, you go back first, and I can talk about the rest by myself."

He thought there would be a big battle in this industry, so he specially called Qi Wei, the hacker in the team, but he didn't expect that Tang Yu was an ordinary person without a prosthetic body implanted, so hacker network intrusion had no effect at all.

Hacker Qiwei nodded, but looked at Tang Yu. After a moment, she moved to Lucy who was smoking alone. She seemed to be thinking about something, and finally turned and left to get away from the crowd.

"Let's get in touch if you are alive."

Mann responded in a deep voice: "Qiwei, don't worry, I won't miss you!"

The girl wearing a jacket next to Mann asked Lucy.

"Lucy, what are your plans, are you coming with us?"

Tang Yu, who had been walking at the front, suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice.

"There is still a score to settle between me and her."

Lucy stared at Tang Yu's back with some vigilance, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Tang Yu continued: "Don't worry, this account has nothing to do with Arasaka. If you don't want to be involved in the next thing, it's better to know less."

Under the shadow of the street lights, Lucy's expression changes could not be seen, and her neon-colored pupils looked at Tang Yu quietly.

"Do you think I still have a choice?"

Lucy knew that from the moment the other party's chip was taken away from the car, she would not be able to escape from this matter, not to mention that the contents of the chip involved Arasaka's top secrets. If the military-grade Sian Westan prosthetic body was not properly handled, not only Mann, it is difficult for him to hide any longer.

Tang Yu turned around and looked at Mann and others, trying to make his expression look more sincere, and said in a kind tone.

"I think everyone should have a chance to change their life."

"I remember that middlemen always like to say that everything is negotiable in Night City."

"Although I work in Arasaka, I don't like the company's forced buying and selling practices."

"So, you can decide for yourself whether you choose to talk to me or take the Sian Westan and leave."

Tang Yu knew that there was no possibility of rejection by the other party, but he always had to show that he would leave a little room for the other party. This was like a wise saying from his hometown.

To conquer the enemy without fighting.

Mann was also unsure in his heart. He knew that the survival rule of cyberpunk was not to cooperate with companies that eat people but not spit out their bones, and at least find a middleman to act as a buffer between the two.

This was originally an extremely simple transaction. Gloria was responsible for stealing and delivering the prosthetic body, and Mann only paid. No one knew about the private matter.

Now that someone from Arasaka Company suddenly appears to intervene, it means that there is a deeper whirlpool inside. In the past, he might have simply given up on this prosthetic body, but now he is eager to become stronger, and this military-grade prosthetic body He must install the Anvistan!

Dolio, the fierce jacket girl on the side, advised: "Mann, why don't you just forget about it and just pretend you've never seen this prosthetic body before. We'll look for opportunities to buy other ones."

Mann's thick hands tightly grasped the packaging bag containing the prosthetic body, and his unwillingness to let go said everything, he didn't want to give up!

Dolio understood that Mann, who seemed free and easy, actually had a stubborn temper and would never give up what he insisted on. Even if anyone tried to persuade him, the more he got into trouble, the more someone had to remind him.

Mann, who had been silent, raised his hand to interrupt Dolio's persuasion and said seriously: "I agree to cooperate, but only this time."

This sentence seems to have made Mann very determined. Cooperating with the company means abandoning his usual survival principles and always being prepared to be eaten.

Dolio angrily shouted: "Mann! You will kill everyone if you do this!"

Even Lucy, who had always had a calm expression, frowned. Cooperating with the company often resulted in hell.
