Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

Chapter 20 Above the Moon

Westbrook.

The sixth floor of Marina Bay Apartments on Sakura Street.

When Tang Yu had already reached the door and was about to leave, he was stopped by Lucy's sincere "evaluation". It was not that he was unwilling to learn more about the legendary life of the silver-haired girl in front of him, but the other party seemed to have a strong desire for Arasaka. of native resistance and vigilance.

Even if she has the conditions for legendary life simulation, Tang Yu has no way to turn on a gray simulation button now. This can only be attributed to the immature time and the lack of fate.

In addition, the reason why Tang Yu insisted on working with Mann's team was because he also found the gray option of The Sims in Mann, which means that Mann may also become a legend in the future. Maybe before he is reborn, Mann The destiny of a legendary life has been fulfilled.

Thinking of the fate of the legendary life, Tang Yu couldn't help but murmur.

"Who said it in the previous life? Legends are all in the graveyard."

Lucy noticed that Tang Yu seemed to whisper something, but she didn't hear it very clearly, so she frowned and asked.

"What cemetery?"

Tang Yu didn't want to talk about this heavy topic, so he had to find something to distract him from it, and happened to see the conspicuous old poster on the wall.

The poster depicts an uncle in a space suit, pointing forward with an excited expression as if announcing loudly.

"Welcome to your new life."

In the center of the poster is a rocket taking off, and at the end is an advertising and marketing slogan.

It only costs 250,000 euros to land on the moon.

It's obviously an advertising poster. Under normal circumstances, no one would put advertising posters in their homes in such a conspicuous place.

"It's nothing. I mean everything you said is right. Arasaka Company is a rotten graveyard. Anyone who follows him will not end well."

Speaking of this, Tang Yu unconsciously thought of the scene when he and his sister V and the others went up to the Arasaka Tower. The sword was cut from the first floor to the 133rd floor. At that time, the Arasaka Tower seemed to be really strong. Like a large tombstone erected in a grave.

Lucy clearly felt that Tang Yu was absent-minded, so she had to turn her face away and stop looking at him. She seemed to think that it was pointless to say this to the company dog.

“What’s with that corny poster on the wall?”

The words just fell.

Lucy's original dull eyes gradually disappeared, the cigarette butt in her hand was put out in the ashtray, and she asked in a cold tone.

"Do you have any opinion?"

Tang Yu couldn't deny it, looking at the moon marketing poster on the wall and said.

"I won't comment on my personal preferences. I just suddenly thought of a few songs about the moon, but you probably haven't heard of them, such as "fly me to the moon" (Note 1)"

Lucy retracted her cold gaze, turned to look out the window and murmured.

"fly me to the moon"

"Have not heard."

Seeing that she was still indifferent, Tang Yu had no choice but to shrug his shoulders to avoid trouble. He put his hands in his pockets and whistled a tune called Moon, and left.

The silver-haired girl changed her position and continued to lie lazily on the bay window, listening to the faint melody in the stairwell.

After a while.

Laughing dumbly

The next day.

"Hello Master, it is now seven o'clock in the morning and a new day has begun."

Under the control of the smart housekeeper, the curtains in the entire apartment slowly opened, and the misty sunlight in the early morning immediately woke up Tang Yu, who was sleeping soundly.

Boil water, open windows for ventilation, broadcast weather and traffic information, turn on the TV screen to listen to programs, all these functions are completed by the smart butler.

Although Tang Yu does not live in the Oak North District of Westbrook like other colleagues, he still maintains a certain level of quality of life.

The high-end apartment he currently lives in is located in Little Chinatown in Watson District. Although Little Chinatown is not a high-end and wealthy area, it is very close to the Civic Center Company Square where he works, and the rent is cheaper than living directly in the city center.

The most important thing is that the customs and habits of Little Chinatown are mainly inherited from his hometown. He maintains the traditions of his hometown during every year and festival, which makes him feel more familiar with his hometown.

Tang Yu got up from his apartment as usual, stretched and put on his left eye portable communicator, and went to the bathroom to wash up while checking today's messages.

[You have six unprocessed office emails.]

[The "Night City Perspective" journal you subscribed to has published new content, the selection results of Night City secondary education institutions.]

[You have a new one from Gloria Martinez.]

Tang Yu automatically skipped other content and directly checked the message sent by Gloria, which meant that he wanted to meet and invite him to have dinner.

After washing up, I went to the open kitchen to make some simple breakfast, frying two eggs and some beef slices.

Because of previous large-scale livestock poultry infectious diseases, Night City has completely banned the slaughter and breeding of raw poultry five years ago. Raw meat is basically transported from other places outside the city in vacuum packaging, and is often expensive.

On the TV news, a news program hosted by Stan, a famous speaker in Night City, was playing.

"Good morning, Night City!"

Host Stan wore a glittering suit, stood in the live broadcast room with a pink interior background, and started today's news broadcast.

"Dead Man's Lotto draws again!"

“The result of the lottery is unexpected, a total of fifty!”

"Thanks to endless gang wars, the hunks of the Animal Gang perform fast and furious on the highway."

The screen was playing the scene of Tang Yu driving and chasing with the Animal Gang on the viaduct that day.

"But in the company square, which is always known for its safety, more than 20 NCPD police officers died. I think you all have to pay money!"

"Because the person who caused all this is a cyber madman. How can there be any reason for the madman to compensate?"

The screen jumped to the company square again, where the NCPD police officers and the cyber madman were fighting, and then the scene was cleaned up after the cyber madman was killed.

As the safest area in the NCPD's assessment, the Civic Center has been heavily patrolled by police for many years, and such vicious attacks rarely occur.

In particular, the headquarters of major companies in Night City are located in the company square, and the cyber lunatic attack has caused a lot of public relations pressure on the NCPD.

Tang Yu didn't pay much attention to the specific content. For these outdated news, everyone was more interested in watching it.

This is life in Night City. You have lost your life and can only become a topic in the news to please the audience.

“Meanwhile, Westbrook’s trauma team was collecting the bodies of victims of cyberpsychosis on the sidewalk.”

"And in Taipingzhou..."

"All right……"

"Taipingzhou is still the same Taipingzhou."

"I'm your best friend Stan."

"Be with me!"

"Start a new day in the City of Dreams!"

Tang Yu put on a well-fitting shirt and specially added a black trench coat to his uniform suit to make himself look no longer as rigid as yesterday. At least it would give him more of a sense of life and less of a corporate dog.

After tidying up.

Tang Yu put on his shoes, put on his headphones, turned on the music and went out.

Still taking the public suspended transportation train, standing in front of the transparent glass gate, looking at the morning view of the city skyline.

Tang Yu listened to the music in his headphones, and from the corner of his eye, he suddenly glanced left and right of the carriage subconsciously, and found that the passengers in the entire carriage were in twos and threes, seeming to maintain a tacit understanding and focus on their own affairs.

And yesterday's agile ice-blue silver-haired figure seemed to have just quietly swam past and disappeared.

When the train arrived at the station, Tang Yu turned around, got off the train, and walked towards the towering Arasaka Tower to start the company dog's day at work.

Note 1: Originally, I wanted to make fun of "Above the Moon", which became popular in the streets. Considering the scene and character design, I chose this song "Talking to the Moon" by Brother Martian as the soundtrack before uploading it. However, after readers The recommendation of 'Jinghuang Oujie' was changed to "fly me to the moon" after detailed comparison. This involves an important foreshadowing for the future.

PS: In addition, as a modern time-traveler, the protagonist will bring some of our modern social and cultural habits. First, it is to enhance the sense of perspective of the time-traveler, and second, it can appropriately increase the interest of reading. If you think it will affect reading, you can suggest deletion as appropriate!

Tomorrow is a new week, I wish you all the best and become more and more handsome! Then I’m asking for votes. The three updates every day are 6,500 words. In fact, this is not very good in the new book period. Rushing the number of words will affect the recommendation ranking, and then the number of free words will be more before it is put on the shelves, but I still hope to work hard to write this book well. This book allows readers to read without having to wait too hard! Anyway, just asking for support! Strive to make the legendary story of Night City more exciting! good night!
