Cyberpunk: 2075

Chapter 61 39. Middleman Level

"How's the conversation going Carl?"

Jack watched Carl coming and glanced at Blanca who was walking towards the door of the Afterlife Bar: "What is the employer's mission?"

"It's not urgent. We'll talk about it later when we get back."

There were so many people outside the box that Carl didn't intend to talk about the mission in a place like this: "Speaking of which, what are you and Oliver doing? I see that you two were talking to the bartender just now."

"These wines with names in the next life seem to be recipes left by legends in the past. Aren't Oliver and I thinking about booking one for us first?"

"Would you like to reserve one?"

Karl sat down next to Jack: "But don't I remember a saying that the legends of Night City are all in the graves?"

"That's not accurate."

Oliver said: "Now in Night City, I know only two living legends, and we happen to have some contact with each other, Adam Hammer, and the owner of the Afterlife Bar, the legendary middleman Rogge. You can't help but mention them. Be a legend in the night city.”

"That's the truth."

Carl sat at the bar and was a little curious and asked what kind of mixture Oliver and Jack had left.

“A shot of vodka on the rocks, lime juice, ginger beer, and oh, most importantly – some love.”

This is Jack’s preparation, but when he heard this preparation, Carl couldn’t help but complain a little:

"Isn't this thing just the way to prepare a Moscow Mule? At most, you just add an inexplicable love at the end."

"Love is all that matters, Carl."

"Okay."

Karl looked at Oliver: "What kind of preparation did you leave behind?"

"In my case, it's 30 ml of whiskey and a small glass of Dolin's. Well, you also need some ice cubes."

"Rusty Nail Cocktail, why did you copy it too? What's the specialty?"

"What kind of characteristics do you want? When it becomes famous, when people buy this wine and hear my name, that will be enough to make me happy."

Oliver said and encouraged Karl: "Jack and I both left the recipe for the wine, Karl, why don't you leave one?"

"What kind of formula can I have? If I really choose one, I'll probably copy it just like you."

Carl called the bartender and ordered himself a soda.

"Personally, I think Sprite goes well with red wine."

"What kind of female drinking method are you doing?"

Oliver complained, looking at the soda in front of Carl: "And it's a bar ordering drinks. If you think about it, you don't seem to drink much every time."

"Just keep the necessary sobriety and alertness."

Carl drank a cold soda: "We can't all be drunk, there won't even be one sober person. You and Jack can drink without worry, I'll be watching."

"Then I'll ask you to watch me when I'm drunk, Karl."

A very familiar voice to the three Carls came from not far away from the bar where they were sitting. Carl followed the sound and found that Mann was walking towards them with a beer.

"Thank you for taking care of me for the previous mission."

Mann sat down next to Carl and raised the bottle to signal to Oliver and Jack.

"I want to thank you for coming to see me."

Karl already knew what happened after the mission was completed on the way. All the mercenaries came to see Karl, but after all, they were in a hospital under the control of Arasaka. After accompanying them to confirm that Karl was fine, they all said goodbye and left. , and Mann was the last one to leave. He still went back after receiving a communication from someone. It was only four hours before Carl woke up.

"What's there to thank you for? It's nothing compared to your saving my life."

Mann sipped his beer and drank half of the bottle in one go before saying: "I was thinking about when I could go see you and formally thank you, but I didn't expect that we would bump into each other in the next life. This is another call for you." Alive?"

"It can be regarded as some finishing work for the previous mission."

Karl looked at Mann: "Are you on vacation?"

"Just the day before yesterday, I just saved my life from the gun. Of course I need to take a good rest... It's better to say that normal mercenaries have money to live day by day, but you guys are a little too diligent in taking on tasks. You just woke up today and went to do the task."

"Today I just came to take over the mission and understand the situation. We also need to rest for a while before talking about it."

Karl drank soda: "Has your middleman already paid this payment to your account?"

"If that guy even dares to do this, I will definitely twist his head off."

Mann asked: "Did that guy Faraday pay?"

"It's okay. I'll call you an hour after the task is completed."

Jack on the side said, suddenly curious about something: "Speaking of Mann, how much did you get from the middleman who introduced you to the mission this time?"

"One hundred and fifty thousand euros is the most remunerative job I have ever done."

"One hundred and fifty thousand euros..."

Listening to this number, Karl and the others silently made a calculation in their hearts.

The remuneration they received was 300,000, which means that on average each person was 100,000. Compared with Mann's 150,000, they were almost half the amount short of each other.

The money given to the middleman based on head count should be the same, which means...

"That bastard Faraday stole a lot of our money."

"What do you mean?"

Mann was a little puzzled, and then after learning that Carl and the others were paid 100,000 per person based on head count, the corners of his mouth twitched: "That bastard Faraday is really greedy and can't get food on the street. Like a wild dog.”

"If you calculate it this way, the money he gets is even slightly more than other middlemen's share."

After hearing this, Oliver felt that his originally good mood suddenly deteriorated. It would be better to say that no normal mercenary would be happy after learning that most of his reward had been deducted.

"Let's take care of the next mission."

Jack said on the side: "Anyway, our team is now famous because of Carl's relationship, and it's our turn to pick the middleman task... Don't I have a connection? If we want to take over the task, we can contact him. Father, there should be a good mission there.”

"Father, is Heywood's go-between priest?"

Mann was a little surprised by the intermediary Jack mentioned, because: "The priest's level is different from that of an intermediary like Faraday. You have a relationship with him, but you didn't pick up his mission?"

"I used to feel embarrassed about my low reputation, but now I understand why I have to be rewarded by a wild dog like Faraday if I have the ability."

As Jack said, he noticed someone approaching from the corner of his eye.

"Don't mind disturbing me."

A rather sturdy blonde woman approached.
