Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

Chapter 21 Jingu Temple

early morning.

Gloria was busy at home wearing an apron, still wearing the durable yellow cyber jacket, with her iconic red ponytail tied behind her head, but the slight smile on her face showed her mood. not bad.

She woke up early today and wanted to make a hot breakfast for David.

Often because she was busy with several jobs, she had no time to prepare breakfast for David. She usually just let David get some energy bars and drink some functional drinks and that was the solution.

In fact, this is also the living situation of most Night City residents, who rely on technological foods produced by biotechnology companies to supplement their nutrition.

Therefore, Gloria's breakfast was not a sumptuous one. She simply heated and processed the ingredients produced by the company, sprinkled some synthetic seasonings, and a few good-looking breakfasts were baked.

David rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked out of the bedroom. He had already put on the Arasaka Academy uniform. He walked to the living room and found Gloria preparing food on the induction cooker. Although it was still the same things as usual, she still had them with her after heating. The smell of burnt meat.

David, who had been in a coma and hungry for nearly two days, was immediately aroused. He decisively sat down at the desk and began to feast. He asked at the front: "Mom, how did you make breakfast today?"

Gloria saw that David had regained his energy and appetite, and she naturally felt more comfortable. She felt that the bad days had been going on for too long, and she had never been with David like she was today. She reached out and touched him. He touched David's head and said nothing.

David felt that his mother suddenly seemed a little strange today. Not only did she make breakfast, but her attitude towards him was no longer as impatient as before, and she even kept a slight smile on her lips.

He clearly remembered that when he pointed at the TV news and asked about his mother that morning, he was scolded. In his opinion, being on news TV was an interesting new thing, but his mother didn't think so and thought he was troublesome.

However, David finished his breakfast quickly, and then immediately stood up and prepared to go to Arasaka Academy.

"Mom, then I'm going to set off, just..."

The reason for his hesitation was that he didn't know whether the college's compensation matter had been resolved.

Gloria stopped David and said, "I've asked for leave for you today. Don't go to the college yet. I'll take you to the city center to buy two clothes."

"ah?!"

When David heard Gloria talking about going to the city center to buy two pieces of clothes, he looked back at his mother with her mouth wide open and was stunned. In his impression, his mother seemed to have never bought any clothes, and she always wore the yellow one. cyber jacket, not to mention going downtown to buy clothes.

Could it be that I heard it wrong?

David stared at his mother blankly, trying to confirm whether it was an auditory hallucination, but he could see that his mother was looking at him with confusion on her face. He was a little confused about the current situation.

"Hasn't our rent not been paid yet?"

Gloria looked at David as if she couldn't understand why she wanted to buy a new dress, and then said matter-of-factly: "The friend who came yesterday has already paid one month's rent. After all, he was the one who broke our house." The door to the apartment deserves more compensation.”

David was even more incredible. He actually called the group of people who broke into his home like bandits his friends. He looked in disbelief and said he couldn't understand.

"friend?!"

Gloria still looked at David normally and continued.

"Yes, it was just a small misunderstanding last night. I already called the property management company to have the apartment door repaired. In addition, the transaction between Mr. Tang and them was quite successful. I made a lot of money this time!"

After Mann and Tang Yu discussed cooperation last night, they immediately transferred the money to Gloria's account and completed the transaction as originally agreed.

David expressed his helplessness. Even though he was only seventeen years old now, he could clearly see that the group of cyberpunks last night were not easy to mess with. However, his mother Gloria still fooled him as if he were a child, so he was a little confused. Said frustratedly.

"Okay, then I won't go to school today, but why do you suddenly think of buying clothes?"

Gloria said almost without hesitation: "Because today we are going to formally visit a very important person."

Without blinking, David quickly guessed: "Is it Mr. Tang?"

Although he knew that Tang Yu was a senior executive of Arasaka Company, judging from the fact that the other party rescued his mother and himself when he was most desperate, he was very grateful from the bottom of his heart, but it was difficult to say it so straightforwardly.

Gloria looked like you were really smart, and nodded and praised: "David, you are really getting more and more sensible. Thank you for this meeting. We have to be as formal as possible, so dressing like this obviously won't work. It's better to go buy something." The clothes are more attractive, what do you think?"

She tugged on the hem of the yellow cyber jacket she was wearing and looked back and forth, her brows showing some dissatisfaction. This was issued to her when she worked at the public medical center. She could wear it at ordinary times, but it was not suitable for formal occasions. suitable.

David sighed helplessly

Jinguji Temple.

This is a clothing store located in the downtown business district next to the company square. It mainly sells men's high-end luxury clothing. Its business scope includes finished product sales, private customization, tailoring, etc. It is popular among successful people in the workplace and second-generation people from wealthy backgrounds. favorite.

When David was brought to the entrance of Jinguji Temple by Gloria, his expression was even more exaggerated. He was studying at Arasaka Academy and rarely visited this area in the city center even if he had time, just because of the shopping here. The targets are all wealthy people in Night City, so why should he feel bad about his wallet?

David looked up and saw the name of the store above the store, which was engraved with JINGUJI and a string of Japanese characters.

"Mom, are you sure we want to buy clothes here?"

Gloria felt that David might be a bit reluctant to let go because he was used to poverty, so she said in an encouraging tone: "As long as you have money to buy clothes, there is nothing you can't do. Even if you don't buy clothes, it doesn't matter. Besides, you When I join Arasaka Tower in the future, I will become a frequent visitor here, so now I think it’s time to go in in advance and get to know it better!”

So Gloria pushed David through the glass door and walked into the Jinguji clothing luxury store. When she came to the front desk, she saw a dark-skinned receptionist wearing a high-end embossed single-breasted suit. The style is fresh and crisp, and there is a black silk silk and gold brooch in the breast pocket, which is quite noble.

Gloria whispered to David: "Look, even the waiters are dressed so classy."

David only felt a little embarrassed. Compared with the waiter's clothes, the jacket he wore did not match the luxurious aura around him.

But Gloria still chatted with the waiter talkatively, gesturing about the style and size of the suit she wanted to buy.

Maybe it’s because the waiter has a good sense of service and good quality. He introduced the clothing carefully and kept a polite smile from beginning to end. He didn’t seem to be bullying or impatient at all, and his communication with Gloria was also good. It was pleasant, even talking and laughing.

Under the guidance of the waiter, David absentmindedly followed Gloria around the clothing store. Suddenly he found that none of the clothes had prices marked on them, so he pointed at a suit that he thought was the best looking and asked.

"Hello, I would like to know the price of this dress?"

The waiter immediately turned around to help David.

"Hello, sir, you have really good taste. This checkerboard suit jacket is priced at 12,000 euros. Now this piece of clothing is recommended by our store, so there is no discount, but for you The size may be a little too big, so if you ask me to recommend it, I suggest you try it.”

David was suddenly speechless and couldn't hear a single word except for the twelve thousand euros.

On the contrary, Gloria on the side saw this single suit jacket and immediately agreed.

"David, you have really good taste!"

"Let's choose this one!"
