Cyberpunk: 2075

Westbrook-North Oaks.

"Just send it here. I'll see if I can bring you some oranges when I turn back."

After Karl said goodbye to the companions who sent him here, he set foot on the land of Northern Oak alone.

Repairing the car would take a while. Jack and Oliver were going to Badland today to help V, so they didn't delay after sending Carl there. The vehicle disappeared from Carl's gaze after a while.

They had said in advance that if they worked late today, they would stay in the motel for one night and would not be able to pick up Karl. After Karl's visit today, he might have to find a way to go home on his own, but this did not matter to Karl at all.

At worst, he calls a taxi.

"The address, I remember it was...

When Karl was about to go to the villa that Haruko had just moved to according to the address she sent, a Renfield Sword in the Stone slowly approached him from a distance.

[Reffield's Sword in the Stone]: A luxury car produced by Renfield Company that pays more attention to explosive speed than the noble Sword of the Lady of the Lake.

Carl has some impression of this car because both Oliver and Jack love cars. I remember that its production and launch date was 2070, which is five years earlier than the Sword of the Lake Lady that was just produced in 2075. It was also Oliver who released the Sword of the Lady of the Lake. The most coveted vehicle in the world.

This kind of luxury car is made of the latest and most expensive alloy materials in military technology. Even if it is hit by a rocket launcher, nothing will happen to it. Although it is not as precious as the Sword of the Lake Lady, in the City of Night ,

Not many people could afford to drive it. Just when Karl was curious about who was in the car, the door of Renfield's Sword in the Stone slid open like a sliding cover, revealing a somewhat unfamiliar but familiar figure.

It was said to be unfamiliar because Karl was convinced that this was the first time he saw this young woman with neatly cut short hair and an oriental face. It was said to be familiar because Karl felt something about her body. A sense of threat, which is not an active display of hostility, but a sense of threat brought about by strength, Karl is quite familiar with it.

Sense of threat...: Among the people I have met, there are not many people who can give Karl such a feeling, and there is only one female.

Karl instantly realized who this strange-looking woman was.

"Chiyome?"

Karl asked tentatively and received a nod from Chiyome.

"Get in the car Karl, Miss Haruko wants me to take you there."

"Is this so?"

Karl wouldn't refuse the opportunity to ride in a luxury car, not to mention he didn't need to walk by himself.

It couldn't be more comfortable for someone like him who likes to be lazy. He quickly sat down in the co-pilot seat of The Sword in the Stone.

The Sword in the Stone and Sword of the Lake Lady in the Renfield series are both two-seater cars, but Carl, who hates two-seater cars, had the only feeling after getting on them.

It's so soft and comfortable, and the crystal ball technology is so awesome. There are no windows, but from the car, you can almost see the whole thing clearly.

While he felt a little happy about enjoying the luxury car, Karl was recalling whether there were four-seater cars in the Renfield series. If there were four-seater cars, he could switch to a four-seater car when he got rich in the future.

But immediately, Karl threw away the idea that had just arisen.

Even though Sky Hera is still being transformed by V, Jack, and Oliver, he has already thought of luxury cars and chic, which is too much.

This kind of thing is okay to sit on, but if you think about it carefully, it is necessary to do tasks and run around. The luxury car driving through the street is too eye-catching. Besides, a group of people are shaking in the car and chatting about other things. Quite comfortable.

Because North Oak District is a wealthy area, the quality of road construction is quite good, and vehicles will not encounter any messy roadblocks when driving. Therefore, when Karl was thinking about the topic of cars, Chiyome had already arrived in the Sword in the Stone. place.

While Chiyome passed the verification and was talking to the security personnel in Arasaka uniforms at the door, Carl roughly looked around at the size of the villa from inside the car.

It is said to be a villa, but in Karl's opinion, it is more like a manor, because its area is definitely beyond the scope of a villa.

Looking left and right, you can see that this place occupies almost the entire hilltop of the area. Compared with this size, the villa of Fujiwara Ryonaga can be regarded as a wall-mounted toilet in the manor, and it is only for pets. Of course, this description is an exaggeration. According to Carl's visual inspection, Fujiwara Yoshinag's villa should be the size of a room in an eight-story building.

Karl remembered that the land in the North Oak District became more expensive as it went up, which meant...,

The value of this manor may be enough to buy twenty or thirty villas where that guy Fujiwara Ryonaga lives.

After talking to the guard, she restarted the Sword in the Stone, and slowly drove into the middle driveway of the lawn on both sides of the manor through the opened gate of the manor. While looking at the security situation around her, she observed Karl, and when she noticed that he was looking around, It seemed that while he was calculating something, he saw his valuation idea at a glance and told the price of the manor.

"This estate is worth 1.5 billion euros and covers an area of ​​10 hectares (100,000 square meters)." (Adjusted with reference to the price of modern American estates "10 hectares...:"

Karl listened to Chiyome's introduction and made a quick calculation in his mind.

The size of an ordinary football field is 7140 square meters. 10 hectares means it is almost fourteen times as big. In other words, this manor is as big as fourteen football fields... ． .

Karl remembered that the super skyscraper he lived in should have occupied an area of ​​half a football field, or maybe not even one. Its floors were 51, and it was calculated as if there were 10 households living on one floor, even if there were only two people in each household. , excluding the top rooftop, the fifty floors soaring into the clouds, the number of people living in them has reached 1,000...:. (The reference may be the super skyscraper design prototype North Riverside Building)

A thousand people are crowded into an area the size of half a football field, and if they can live in an apartment, they are considered capable of surviving in Night City. And this manor, which is about twenty-eight times larger, is also In other words, a place that could theoretically accommodate 28,000 respectable Night City residents could only serve Haruko.

And in terms of value.

The monthly rent of a super skyscraper is 1,000 euros a month. The total monthly rent for 500 households is 500,000 euros. The difference between 500,000 euros and 1.5 billion euros... ． ,

While Karl was calculating the relevant differences in his brain, he heard Chiyome next to him continue to say,

With a slight complaint: "Is it all the fault of that derelict person for letting the young lady live in such a humiliating place? When the young lady was in Japan, she always lived in the Arasaka mansion. Compared with the mansion, this Night City The place is too small.”

Karl asked tentatively: "Is Arasaka Mansion big?"

"Fortunately, according to the calculation method used in Night City, the area is about twenty acres, and the surrounding three kilometers where outsiders are not allowed to approach is also Arasaka's territory."

Do the math.

20 acres is almost 121 acres, which is 80,666 square meters, or about 8 hectares. The house alone is almost as big as the current 10-hectare manor, and the surrounding 3 kilometers are Arasaka land...

Calculated according to a square, the length and width are three kilometers, which is three thousand meters. Then the area is 900 hectares, which is ninety times the size of this manor.

Thinking about where the Arasaka mansion is located, it must be an incredibly expensive location.

Karl felt a heavy pressure coming on.

It's okay not to compare. After careful comparison, Carl found that his room could only be regarded as a toilet in Fujiwara Ryonaga's villa, and Fujiwara Ryonaga's room could only be regarded as a toilet in this manor, and compared with this manor in Arasaka Mansion, it could only be regarded as a toilet. Consider the toilet.

Um?

Think about it carefully.

They all live in the toilet.

Carl figured it out.

Everyone actually lives in the same place, which is the toilet.

Carr calls this the toilet theory.
