Cyberpunk: 2075

"Split the money, split the money."

When the takeaway arrived, Carl had already completed the transaction with Blanca. Blanca was very interested in the Arasaka information in the chip and spent 30,000 euros to buy it from Carl. In total, this was I made 70,000 euros from this job.

After telling Jack and Oliver about his transaction with Blanca, Carl sent them money, 23,000 euros per person, and the extra 1,000 euros could be spent on takeout according to the old rules.

"Compared with the 2,000 euros for working for Faraday, Wakazi can earn 23,000 euros for one trip. The gap is huge."

Oliver looked at the euros that had arrived and complained about Faraday's stingy middleman: "Fortunately, after that mission, we didn't plan to work for him anymore."

"Actually, if you subtract the transaction part and only count the commission, each of us will earn about 13,000 euros.:.:"

And the difficulty of solving the Tiger Claw Gang is different from the difficulty of solving the Scavenger.

Although Carl thought so, he also suspected that based on the stinginess shown by Faraday in the two hirings, even if the person to be solved was the Tiger Claw Gang, the money would not be much high.

"I don't know how Mann can do it."

Jack shook his head and took a bite of the takeaway pizza: "I feel there is no need to cooperate with this kind of middleman."

"If you're not famous and can't get a job, then you can only feel aggrieved.'

Carl said while chewing the sausage and potato pizza, and then as he ate, he felt the taste of pizza in his mouth...

"It's the same as before, it's like chewing wet cardboard, but today's is actually acceptable. This store is good. Oliver, make a note of it so you can order more when you come back."

"Don't worry, Master's Night City food records will never be forgotten."

Oliver stretched out his index finger and tapped his head: "I remember it all."

"You can try eating it for a day when you have time, by the way, Jack."

When the topic of eating came up, Karl remembered something and called Jack.

"What's up?"

With a puzzled look on his face, Jack turned his head and saw Karl who had temporarily put down the pizza in his hand, "Do you remember what we agreed before?"

Karl's words made Jack a little unresponsive for a moment.

"What's the agreement?"

Jack said in a daze, but Oliver had already reacted, walked to Jack's side, put his hands on Jack's shoulders and shook it: "Yes, didn't we make an appointment before, this trip to the prosthetic body After King Kong’s intelligence mission is over..."

Oliver deliberately slowed down his voice a little, hoping that Jack would recall and realize it, and Jack also recalled what Oliver said.

"What you are talking about is that I promised you that after this mission is over, we will get together at my house and I will make corn flakes and tamales for you to eat?"

"That's not the most important thing."

It’s hard to imagine that this sentence would actually come from the mouth of Karl, who values ​​food, but it is a fact. After Karl wiped his hands on the paper that came with the pizza, he also walked over, one behind Oliver, It was like using Jack as a rocking chair.

"What's more important is the other things. Don't tell me that you forgot. You promised us that you will have to invite people when the time comes. And besides Lao Wei, you have to invite..."

"Misty."

Despite being shaken by Oliver and Carl, Jack still said his girlfriend's name.

After these words, both Oliver and Carl stopped shaking, but Jack's face showed a restrained look that was extremely inconsistent with his appearance:

"It's okay to wait. Didn't we say we can get together on Christmas? Today is December 5th, and there are only a few days until Christmas 25th."

"Jack Wells, is he a man who can't keep his promise?"

Oliver's obviously inflammatory words made Jack silent.

His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he closed them again halfway through opening his mouth.

The expression on his face changed several times, ranging from nervousness to uneasiness, and finally, determination.

"Okay, then go to my house tonight and call both Lao Wei and Misty!"

"I'm just waiting for your words!"

Karl had already acted very quickly and called Lao Wei.

"I'll contact Lao Wei."

"I'll go talk to Mrs. Wells."

Oliver also started communicating, and the two apparently left one to Jack to inform.

"Hey, Lao Wei, are you free tonight? We are going to...

"Mrs. Wells, how are you today? We are getting ready tonight..."

Looking at Carl and Oliver who were communicating, Jack sighed, but did not hesitate.

"Didi beep...

"drop."

"Jack?"

A familiar soft voice came from the other end of the communication. Jack, who heard it, became nervous again for some reason. After his big heart, which he usually boasted about, beat a few times, his voice became a little softer. I had to call out my girlfriend’s name.

"Misty."

"What's wrong?"

Misty seemed to hear the remaining nervousness in Jack's voice, and said with a smile: "You must have some surprise to tell me. I just did a divination, guess what it is, it told me that you will have family harmony and happiness in the future. I was just about to tell you this, and you called me."

Listening to his girlfriend's voice, Jack didn't know why, the nervousness in his heart disappeared along with the smile, and then he couldn't help but smile:

"I really can't hide anything from you, Misty."

"Of course, I'm the most powerful fortune teller in Night City."

Jack spoke in Misty's proud voice:

"I want to have dinner with you tonight, and Carl, Oliver, and Old Wei will all be there."

"That's great, I'm free tonight, will you pick me up?"

"Of course, by the way, Misty."

"Hmm?"

"The place for dinner tonight is my home."

After Jack's words, Misty fell into silence for a rare time. This was a rare hesitation for her who always seemed optimistic in the communication with Jack.

A few seconds later, under the nervous gaze of Carl and Oliver who had finished the call, Jack heard Misty's voice.

"Is it okay?"

The simple sentence made Jack's smile even brighter, and then he answered firmly.

"Of course!"

Looking at the smile on Jack's face and listening to what Jack said, Carl and Oliver turned their heads and looked at each other.

"Today is a good day."

"Indeed."

The two of them smiled and answered each other, like two idiots.
