Cyberpunk: 2075

At 8:44 pm, Karl sat in a restaurant in Lijing District.

Open communication.

Jack, Oliver: We still need a while to finish this work. You order food first and wait for us. We will come when we finish at nine o'clock. Nothing happened today, and no one from the Sixth Street Gang came. It was pretty smooth.

I wonder if Jack ever met his ex-girlfriend.

Counting from the time Jack and Oliver sent themselves to school in the morning, the two of them watched the scene for almost twelve hours. They didn't know if the Sixth Street Gang saw the two of them, so they didn't dare to cause trouble.

According to the address Jack later sent, the bar they were visiting was a new place that opened on the border between the Sixth Street Gang and the Valentino Gang. As long as they were a little wary, anyone from the Sixth Street Gang would know about it. The new bar was opened by Valentino's gang, and since they haven't organized anyone to cause trouble in twelve hours, they probably acquiesced.

Are you planning to do something later?

Karl didn't know, but anyway, the commission Jack accepted from his ex-girlfriend was to watch the scene for one day, and what happened after that had nothing to do with them.

Jack and Oliver helped him through the most difficult day, so if there was anything else, he couldn't come at the last moment.

Karl, who was crazily raising a flag, sat in the corner of the restaurant and looked through the glass window towards the bar opposite. Looking in from the wide open door, he seemed to be able to see Oliver's dazzling blond hair.

Did this guy rub some messy stuff on his hair?

After ordering electronically and ordering macaroni with tomato sauce and real water for himself, Carl was reading the menu and thinking about what to order for Oliver and Jack when the door of the restaurant opened.

"Kaka."

Amidst the sound of some old glass, a guest whom Karl knew walked in.

'David? ’

Karl was about to say hello, but stopped in the middle of raising his hand because he found that there was another person behind David.

A middle-aged woman with fatigue in the corner of her eyes and traces of years of hard work on her face followed David into the restaurant.

Karl knew this man, and he had found his family information when he opened the David Box.

Gloria Martinez, David's mother, is an emergency medical technician at Night City Medical Center.

Looking at David, who kept saying something to his mother with joy on his face, and then at Gloria, who smiled at David in exhaustion and responded to something, Karl silently put down his body and raised it to Half of the hand.

Going back to Santo Domingo from the city center, taking the Lijing District is the fastest way. Depending on the situation, David should wait until his mother gets off work, and when the two of them go home, they plan to have a meal at a restaurant in the Lijing District. , when mother and son finally get together for a meal, it is better not to disturb them as an outsider.

Gloria, who usually works until early in the morning, will get off work at around eight o'clock today, and she must have made an appointment with David.

Shrinking his body, Karl was glad that he was in the corner. With the help of the backrest of the seat, David hadn't seen him yet. Otherwise, according to his character, he would have dragged him to eat with him.

I'm a street guy, so I'd better not get to know more people who do serious work. I'm not wearing an Arasaka uniform now.

It's not Gaius's face, but if they really meet, it may make Mrs. Gloria think that her child has been led astray.

If Carl and David were not friends, of course he would not care about this, but if they were friends, he had to consider David.

David's mother hoped that her son would become an employee of Arasaka Company and protected him so well. She definitely didn't want him to get involved too much with people on the street. At this time, a mercenary dressed on the street greeted David warmly and talked. , as a mother, can she rest assured?

Fortunately, David did not find Karl.

After scanning around the restaurant, he took his mother to a seat that was also close to the window. That position was exactly one behind the other where Karl was sitting.

This is one of the locations in the store with a good view, and David followed Carl and they did learn something.

It will be some time before Oliver and Jack come over. David and his mother should be able to finish their meal during this time. If not, they will be asked not to come over for the time being. '

In Carl's inner thoughts, David and his mother started ordering.

"I'll just have some macaroni with tomato sauce. Mom, what do you want to eat?"

After David ordered the same food as Carl, he looked at his mother.

"My word...:"

After hesitating for a long time, Gloria also ordered a tomato sauce macaroni.

Karl, who was listening to them talking, flipped through the menu and found that macaroni with tomato sauce was the cheapest food in this restaurant.

In the serious restaurants in Lijing District, they only cost three euros. Lijing District is indeed a poor place.

Now, apart from glancing at the three digits when ordering, Karl, who basically doesn't care too much about the price anymore, really doesn't pay much attention to the prices on the menu.

While waiting for the meal to be served, Gloria chatted with David about the sudden transfer of money to her today.

"David, how did you get so much money? Five thousand euros. Are you going to do anything bad?"

"No, mom, I'm just selling Mewtwo in the academy. Serious Mewtwo. You know that I used to sell Mewtwo to a prosthetic doctor I know. I've been selling it recently and I've made a lot more money. Don't worry. It’s not illegal to sell ordinary Mewtwo. Do you think I’m always looking at the goods at home?”

"Can you make so much selling Mewtwo?"

"Of course, no one else in the academy can buy it. I have to bring it all."

"Will this affect your studies?"

"No, don't worry, it's just me during the recess. I always listen carefully in class."

"Is this so...::"

Seeing that his mother was still a little worried, David showed a completely okay attitude: "Don't worry, there will be another first-month test this week. Mom, you will be optimistic when the time comes. I guarantee that I can get into the top ten in the school. "

"As long as it doesn't affect your grades."

"It will definitely not affect... By the way, Mom, since I can already make so much money, you can go to work in the future.

Don’t work so hard, forget about getting off work at this time. I feel like I can handle my tuition issues by myself.

You see, I'm already this old, and it's time for me to take responsibility for myself. "

Regarding David's words, Gloria shook her head:

"It's great that you can make money, and I'm also very happy, but there may be a lot of expenses in the future. For example, if you are admitted to the university, there may be extra expenses. How can you do it just because of now? If you don’t work hard if you make temporary money, there will be more places to spend money in the future.”

"There will be scholarships in college. Just when David said this, the door of the restaurant was opened, and then, several people wearing entropic clothing with the Six Street Gang logo tattooed on their clothes walked away with guns. Entered the restaurant.

[Entropyism]: One of the main styles of Night City clothing emphasizes practicality over appearance. The Sixth Street Gang and some street mercenaries like this type of clothing very much.

"Prepare some meals. This restaurant has been taken over by our Sixth Street Gang."

Hearing such a sound, David looked out the glass window and found that before he knew it, more than twenty members of the Sixth Street Gang had come outside and occupied the street.
