Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 28 Banknote Ability

Embers Restaurant.

5 minutes ago.

Tang Yu was sitting across the table from Gloria to discuss business matters, and the communication and cooperation between the two went smoothly.

The dinner has come to an end, and Tang Yu's peripheral vision inadvertently fell on the two people who walked in from the main entrance of the restaurant elevator.

The clothes of the two men showed a strong Arasaka style, preferring dark red and dark black.

After Tang Yu worked in the anti-intelligence department, he was already precise and experienced in recognizing people by face. At a glance, he recognized the burly middle-aged man as Tanaka, the head of the R&D department of Arasaka Company. The company has a large amount of research materials such as secret weapons and equipment, and the most important thing is that it is also responsible for the research of human biology.

The military-grade Sienvestein human body operating data to be obtained this time was a mission application issued by the R&D Department, and was finally assigned to Arthur Jenkins after the approval of the upper-level meeting.

Gloria, with her back to the door, didn't know Tang Yu's discovery, but just discussed things quietly and politely.

Originally, it was normal to meet Arasaka colleagues while eating in Ember, but it was the boy Katsuo Tanaka who was following Tanaka who caught Tang Yu's attention.

Tang Yu has seen David in his life simulation, so he left a certain impression, knowing that the relationship between him and David is extremely bad.

as predicted.

Tang Yu found that Katsuo Tanaka, who had just entered the restaurant, raised his eyes almost casually, and then met David's gaze. Both of them were very surprised.

Tang Yu felt a toothache for David in his heart.

"Everywhere you go, you can meet Katsuo Tanaka."

"But every time I pick the most troublesome time."

"David's life is really full of dark humor."

After that, Tang Yu saw that David hid in the toilet first, and it didn't take long for Katsuo Tanaka to find an opportunity to sneak in after him, guessing that this guy must have troubled David.

It's just that Tang Yu thinks that they can't let the two of them make trouble now, otherwise Gloria and David will be involved in the vision of Arasaka's high-level executives, and she, the middleman, will not be able to do it.

What's more, Tanaka from the R&D Department is also sitting here. He is a member of the board of directors of Arasaka Academy. If David is determined to expel David, then his expulsion is basically a certainty.

So Tang Yu found an excuse and explained to Gloria that he went to the bathroom.

Gloria got up slightly to watch Tang Yu leave the table, and looked around by the way, trying to search for David, but found that he didn't seem to be in the hall.

"Where's David?"

She looked around again, but still didn't see where David had gone.

At this time, a gentleman from the bar came to Gloria and asked if she needed any help.

Gloria directly refused with a bad face, showing a very strong dislike for the approach and approach of strange men.

Now she just wanted to find out where David had gone, so she called the waiter to ask where the big boy who was at the same table with her just now went.

The waiter carefully informed that David had already walked into the bathroom, and he should still be in it now.

Gloria was relieved now, but she felt that she hadn't come out for so long, maybe she had eaten too much and had a bad stomach, so she asked the waiter casually.

"Are the meals in your buffet area free?"

The waiter politely explained: "Ma'am, there is no free buffet in our Ember restaurant, all dishes are taken according to the menu price."

Gloria was a little confused.

But she remembered that just now Tang Yu clearly said that the buffet food is free. Since it was the first time to eat at the Ember Restaurant in a serious manner, she didn't know much about the layout and rules here.

"Then how do you charge for buffet catering?"

The waiter replied affirmatively: "Ma'am, we charge according to the original price of the menu, and the food in the self-service area is carefully prepared by the back kitchen and can be eaten cold."

Gloria felt that things might be getting worse. If David had eaten too much just now, it was very likely that the budget would be exceeded, or even greatly exceeded, so she hurriedly asked.

"Then how much did the big boy spend in total? I want to see the bill."

The meals in the self-service area are all automatically priced by the table, and as long as the food leaves the table, it is regarded as a purchase.

"please wait."

The waiter's prosthetic eye flashed the aperture, and said after a short calculation.

"A total of [-] euros was spent."

After hearing this, Gloria immediately sat down to confirm the bad premonition in her heart, covered her forehead and sighed helplessly.

"Sigh, it's really not suitable to come to this kind of place."

So I was going to buy the bill from the self-service area first, but I heard the waiter politely refuse.

"Hello ma'am, it's like this. All the consumption bills this time have been recorded in our exclusive member customer electronic account, and secondary payment or transfer cannot be made."

Gloria did not expect Tang Yu to buy the order early in advance. No wonder he said at the time that the self-service dining area is free, and all accounts are charged in his name. Of course it is free for David!
"Is this the strength of Arasaka's high-level executives? It's simply a terrifying ability."

"It seems that I owe him another big favor, but is this really okay?"

Gloria sat back in her seat, feeling so many feelings in her heart that she didn't know what to say, she could only stare blankly at the night view of the city outside the window, the most prosperous and dazzling part of Night City was at her feet, the luxurious The private floating car shuttles through the air at the same height as itself.

Everything is too unrealistic, she has never had such scenery and courage in her life, if it is not for repaying her kindness, she will never spend money to spend extravagantly in this kind of place.

What happened to her in the past two days was already bizarre enough. Having worked in a public medical center, she deeply understood a truth. It is not uncommon to have a car accident in Night City, but it is rare to meet a good person in Night City. Nice guy in the company.

"It's really worse than meeting God."

"middleman"

"Do you want to get more benefits from me?"

"But I have nothing worth losing. As for David, even if he has a bright future, it may not be worth his future."

"Even his starting point is already David's end point."

Gloria thought a lot, but felt that her mind was in a mess. It was an accident to agree to the middleman. She only made some deals with cyberpunk, but it didn't involve too dangerous things.

"His intentions are really unpredictable."

Suddenly, she noticed a burly middle-aged man in a suit passing by with a serious face, walking towards the toilet. The cuff buttons were printed with the logo of Arasaka Company.

Tanaka felt a little irritable when he received his son's call for help. He didn't expect his son to get into trouble when he went to the bathroom.

He walked slowly to the bathroom, and soon saw Katsuo Tanaka sitting slumped on the ground, covering his face and gnashing his teeth in the innermost position. When he saw his father, he immediately struggled to crawl over, pointing at Tang Yu and crying.

"My lord father, he was the one who beat me!"

"Hiss~ It hurts."

"Father, you must not let this man go!"

Tanaka looked at Tang Yu expressionlessly and did not speak. He felt that the other party looked familiar, so he turned on the prosthetic eye to scan and confirm his identity.

Katsuo Tanaka was still crying beside him, but was directly interrupted by his father Tanaka.

He was very displeased with his son's behavior of being beaten but only daring to cry for help, which was completely inconsistent with his tough personality and behavior style.

"go out!"

Katsuo Tanaka's pleading expression suddenly stiffened, but he didn't dare to disobey what his father Tanaka said. After a moment of stunned, he could only swallow his breath and exit the bathroom respectfully. Until he left the bathroom, he stared at Tang Yu with hatred and anger.

After Tanaka ordered his son to leave, he continued to ask.

"The conflict between you and Abernathy in the elevator in the morning has already spread in the company."

"Why are you fighting with her?"

Tang Yu walked from the inner room to the sink, passed by Tanaka, looked at the figure of Tanaka in the electronic mirror screen and said:

"I never get along with her."

"I heard that many people in the company nicknamed me Mad Dog in private."

"Sometimes I kind of like that nickname."

"But I think Director Abernathy may be more qualified for the nickname of Mad Dog now than I am."

　1. Explain a little bit about Katsuo Tanaka’s personality. In fact, Katsuo is a product of the law of the jungle, so he has a natural admiration and fear of power and violence, especially his attitude towards his father, who is obedient and does not rely on him. So when faced with someone who is stronger and more vicious, he will ask his father for help. Just like being punched by David in the anime, he directly called out the name of his father. When encountering setbacks and violence, he will soften first. , when facing the protagonist with a stronger aura, he would not think of doing it himself, but call his father who is in the restaurant.

　　2. The appearance of Sasha is still in the future. It is related to Biotechnology and Ye’s Company. In order not to destroy the timeline of the original work and the purity of the fans, Sasha’s experience will not be recreated. The relationship with Mann’s team will maintain the original MV plot. Appearance of new arrangements.

　　In addition, I would like to thank ~the only one~ boss for making a huge reward for becoming the rudder of this book, thanks to an indescribable netizen boss for his huge reward, and thanks to Peerless Emperor Jun for his huge reward.

　　that's all!
