Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 72 The First Commission
Gloria was sitting in front of the electronic mirror screen, twirling her eyebrow knife to slightly modify the eyebrow lines.

In order to find a new job, she specially put on some light makeup today.

She had slept enough in the past few days, and the haggard and tired corners of her eyes had faded a lot.

Gloria put down her brow knife, patted her cheek in the mirror, and managed to force a smile.

She had been waiting at home for a few days, but she hadn't received the news she wanted to wait for. She felt that it was important to find a job first.

After finally saving some money on hand, it will be paid to Arasaka Academy to make up for the loss caused by David.

There are still many places to spend money on rent, water and electricity, food, clothing, housing and transportation in the future.

After resigning from the public medical center, there is not much buffer time left for her.

Gloria took off the yellow cyber jacket work clothes from the hanger hook, and found that the cuffs and collar were somewhat worn and faded.

This overalls are strong and wear-resistant, and without the logo of the previous work unit, they can be worn as daily work clothes.

She smoothed out the folds of the jacket, draped it neatly on her shoulders, and slipped her two slender jade white hands through the sleeves, shaking it, but still fit loosely.

"It's a bit old, but it's convenient for work"

After changing her clothes, Gloria was about to go out, but suddenly received a letter.

She turned the aperture of her prosthetic eye to check the incoming letter.

Mr. Tang?
Gloria's breathing is slightly tight, click to view.

"Mr. Tang is coming to my place again?"

She didn't expect that Tang Yu, who hadn't contacted for a few days, would suddenly propose to meet today, and chose to stay at her home.

The point is, the other party will arrive in half an hour.

This made Gloria obviously caught off guard, and immediately retracted the foot that had just stepped out of the door.

She looked back and found that the house hadn't been cleaned up, and the table, sofa, and floor were in a mess.

The personal clothes were just taken out of the dryer and piled up in his bedroom.

She was a little flustered.

Gloria covered her forehead and thought for a while, and it was important to reply to Tang Yu's news first.

"Got it, I'll wait at home"

The words were displayed, but she felt that something was wrong and felt weird.

Hastily deleted, only replied two words.

"receive"

After replying to the message, Gloria seized the time and returned to the house to start cleaning.

The last time Tang Yu came to be a guest at home, because of David's illness, he didn't have time to prepare.

Today David has gone to the college to attend class, and it’s not over yet, and he made such a mess at home alone, making outsiders see it as a joke.

Gloria didn't want to leave a bad impression on Tang Yu.

Especially after Ember agreed to that, she felt more and more out of balance facing Tang Yu.

A company executive, a savior, and maybe even her future benefactor.

The status of the two parties was extremely unequal, so she, who had always been strong and independent, had to soften her temper.

Gloria's mind was in a mess, she stuffed all her clothes into the closet, and closed the bedroom door.

Clean out the living room trash and hastily wipe down the couch and table.

Then he walked to the electronic mirror screen, looked at his face again, and confirmed that it was still normal.

Open the door and go downstairs to meet the coming guests.

Gloria stood under the skyscraper, looking up and down the road from time to time.

Several Arasaka cars passed by her, but they all hurried past without stopping.

Suddenly, she spotted a somewhat familiar figure in the distance on the right side of the road, in a full black suit, walking steadily, which seemed out of tune with the street clothes around Santo Domingo.

Street culture permeates the entire Santo Domingo, and few company employees in suits and shoes appear on the streets on foot.

When the figure gradually approached, Gloria confirmed that it was Tang Yu. The difference from last time was that he wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, which added a bit of elegance.

Gloria took the initiative to wave her hand, indicating to the other party where she was.

When Tang Yu saw the fiery red ponytail and the bright yellow jacket, he recognized Gloria waving at him.

The two soon meet up.

Gloria was a little embarrassed, and explained with a smile: "Mr. Tang, today is really sudden, and there is nothing to entertain at home."

"If you don't mind, we can go out and talk in another place"

Tang Yu came here alone once before, and he walked straight towards the skyscraper with a familiar road.

"No need to spend money, it's business to come to you this time"

"At this point, David hasn't finished school yet."

Gloria nodded: "David eats in the college cafeteria at noon and doesn't come back until after school in the afternoon."

"Okay, this matter is urgent, let's get down to business first"

When the two returned to the apartment, Tang Yu looked at it a little bit, and it didn't change much from last time.

He walked to the sofa and sat down, looking over his shoulder to see Gloria taking out a wine glass from the cabinet.

"Stop drinking, let's talk about business first"

After Gloria heard it, she hurriedly stuffed the wine glass back, closed the cabinet door, walked to the opposite sofa and sat down.

Tang Yu directly took out the micro-separation chip and handed it over.

Gloria got up slightly and took it with both hands, trying to be as polite as possible. Seeing that the other party looked normal, she calmed down a little.

"You check the contents of the chip first"

Gloria inserts the microchip into the socket of the biological nerve, and the prosthetic eye presents the relevant information.

【Name: Riley Hine】

[Identity: Valentino gang member]

[Content: Missed eight days ago, appeared in Watson District on the last night.]

Gloria quickly finished reading the chip, and her expression became serious.

"The members of the Valentino Gang showed up in Watson District on the last night. If they can't be contacted, they may have been hijacked maliciously. Could it be related to the Maelstrom Gang?"

Tang Yu explained: "What you say is possible, the commission is to find Riley Hein"

"The Valentino gang has been looking for him for a few days. Whether it is a hacker search on the Internet or a search on the ground, they have not found any clues."

"It's not convenient for me to intervene in this matter, you have to find a way to solve it"

With that said, Tang Yu transferred [-] euros from the electronic account to Gloria.

Gloria received the funds for this operation, but she did not expect that the "middleman" cooperation would start like this.

Simple, clear and direct.

She quickly reacted from her surprise: "I understand, what is the time limit?"

"As soon as possible, whether it is life or death, there must be a result"

In fact, it is very simple for Tang Yu to use the power of Arasaka Company to investigate this matter.

He entrusted to Gloria mainly to give her a chance, a chance to show herself.

If she grasped it, she would prove qualified to be a real 'middleman'.

In addition, if the company's power is used, the case records will be kept.

This matter was entrusted by Jack privately, and Tang Yu didn't want to attract the attention of some people in the company.

Therefore, entrusting Gloria to do it is just right.

After Gloria received the task and collected the funds for the operation, she solemnly promised that she would do her best to complete the commission.

Tang Yu knew that Gloria had certain contacts, and through the status of an emergency technician in a public medical center, he resold the prosthetic body and met Mann and other cyberpunks.

But the real "middleman" is actually divided into powers. If Gloria wants to make an official debut, she must be approved by the Taoist.

For her first appearance, Tang Yu had to support the scene that the middleman should have.

　Today's two updates, the total word count is too fierce, if you can't keep up with the reading, you can't win next week, and you have to go for two rounds of recommendation for half a month, so please read it by the way! ! !
