Cyberpunk: 2075

"So boring."

Carl sat on the bar of the Wild Wolf Bar and complained to Jack's mother, Mrs. Wells: "I can't get the commission, Mrs. Wells. If this continues, we will starve to death."

"There's no need to be in such a hurry Carl."

Mrs. Wells smiled and served a plate of French fries: "Isn't it nice to have some free time? Come and try my latest research and development of French fries."

"Oh, is it the one I said was sprinkled with salt and pepper?"

Seeing Karl, who had just become decadent and became active for a second because of French fries, Oliver and Jack were a little helpless in other seats at the bar.

Their team has been formed for a week, and they have taken on five missions here and there. During this period, they have also gained a deeper understanding of Carl's personality. Now if Oliver and Jack are to make decisions for Carl If there is an evaluation, then they will not hesitate to use a Chinese word that Carl taught them to describe Carl.

‘It’s nothing to look for. ’

This is not to say that Carl likes to make excuses to cause trouble, but both Oliver and Jack take it literally. To put it bluntly, Carl can't take any time off. After completing the task, he just wants to perform the next task. Nor do they know how to rest and relax.

Other mercenaries take an order. If the order pays well, then after completing the task, they have to rest for ten days and a half before they are interested in taking another order. But Karl is different. He is often on the previous task. When placing an order, I am already thinking about how to take the next order, just like a task machine.

Oliver and Jack are not saying that Carl's "looking for trouble" is not good. Thanks to Carl's crazy tasks, Oliver and Jack's abilities have grown a lot, and their wallets are getting heavier day by day. This aspect is naturally quite embarrassing. People are happy, but people are not machines after all. They also need necessary rest, otherwise they would not have dragged Karl to sit on the bar to drink today.

"Stop being so sad and have a drink."

Seeing Carl happily eating French fries, Oliver toasted to Jack.

"Anyway, according to Karl, when our reputation is big enough to accept the middleman task, he will take over the task. At worst, we can hold on until then."

"It's not that I don't think it's bad to have too many tasks. We are mercenaries after all. Having tasks to do is naturally better than having no tasks. I'm just thinking that these small tasks we do can really be useful. Can you become famous in one day and attract the attention of middlemen? "

"You want to do a big job, Jack, like your first order?"

"This person must have something to look forward to. If he can earn 30,000 to 40,000 euros alone, then death will be worth it."

Heywood's children always talked about death casually. Usually when performing tasks outside, only Carl would complain about it, but today was different.

"Jack!"

Mrs. Wells stared.

"Oh, sorry, Mom."

Jack realized that what he said should not be said casually in front of his mother, and he quickly apologized. He said such words as a subconscious habit when he was with Carl and Oliver, and he did not change it for a while.

"It's better to say less of this, Jack."

As Oliver spoke, he received an unexpected communication, which was from his sister.

Originally, when his sister communicated, she said that she could return to Night City in two days, and then she kept saying that something was delaying her. Until now, she was finally back, and she wanted to meet her brother.

"Then I'll leave first."

After saying hello and farewell to Carl, Jack and Mrs. Wells, Oliver left first. After he was kicked out of the Sixth Street Gang, he couldn't go back to Santo Domingo if he didn't want to cause trouble, but his sister could still come to Watson District. Yes, he planned to pick up his sister and go have a meal somewhere.

Not long after Oliver left, something happened on Jack's side. His current girlfriend, Misty, who is also Lao Wei's landlord, wanted to go shopping with him. After Jack sent a private message to Carl to explain, he also said: He gave a random reason to his mother and left. His mother liked Jack's ex-girlfriend more than his current girlfriend. Jack didn't want his mother to know that he was going on a date.

In a short period of time, Carl was the only one left in the three-person team who took a rare break, still eating French fries at the bar.

What can he do?

One of the two teammates went with his sister and the other with his girlfriend. What could he do?

Come on.

You should continue to go home and learn hacking knowledge or watch Mewtwo. At least it has been verified that it can indeed have a learning effect.

"Thanks for the hospitality, Mrs. Wells."

After finishing his fries, leaving the Wild Wolf Bar and walking on the streets of Heywood, Carl suddenly realized something more important.

Oliver, who was driving someone away, is gone. How can he get back to Watson District?

subway?

But I’ve never sat on it before, so I’m not familiar with it.

never mind.

Take a taxi.

Just as Carl was about to call a taxi, he called.

Hey, acquaintance, isn't this the big order client who said the phone would only be used once? Why is it being used again?

A company dog ​​is a company dog, and he still has to answer the phone, after all, the other party is indeed generous with money.

"drop."

"I have a mission. I need someone to accompany me as a bodyguard to negotiate. It's 50,000 euros per person. If you want to take it, meet me at the Wuyan Motel in Watson District in an hour."

After saying that, he hung up without giving Carl a chance to say more. He was very arrogant.

Okay.

It's 50,000 euros anyway. It doesn't matter if he's arrogant. He's the client. Just do the work.

Carl thought about it and decided not to disturb Oliver and Jack, who were busy. They rarely had a day off to be with their family and girlfriend. He shouldn't send them a message saying that he was going to do a mission to make them worry. Otherwise, according to their temperament, they might drop their current affairs and come to cover him secretly.

It's a good time to try it. I just modified the prosthesis with Lao Wei yesterday.

These days, Carl spent all the money for the mission on yesterday's modification, except for the money for buying Mewtwo and learning hacking.

Feeling the strange feeling in his arms, Carl shook his arms and pressed the technical pistol ‘JKE-X 2 Kenshin’ produced by Arasaka Company on his waist.

The so-called technical pistol is a pistol that uses electromagnetic energy to push all-metal ammunition to a high speed to penetrate bunkers or walls. Ordinary subcutaneous armor is as fragile as paper in front of it. This is also the pistol that Carl bought at a high price after experiencing the previous experience. Now, it is time to use it together with the modification of the arm.
