Chapter 143: Afterlife Trading
"I don't think it's all about money, although it does cost a lot of money to repair the academy's system."
"I will compensate in full."
Looking at the headmaster, Gloria said in a firm tone.
Hopefully, this deal with Mann should be worth it, she sighed inwardly as she thought about it.
"What!"
On the side, David looked at her in shock when he heard Gloria's words, and couldn't help but exclaim.
He knew the financial situation of his family, how could their family afford to lose it.
"According to my understanding, it was David who didn't want to pay for a genuine upgrade, so he used the pirated program on the black market to modify the Mewtwo headband. IMHO, is your family's financial situation okay? ”
Ignoring David, the headmaster looked at Gloria and said reasonably.
"Of course it's no problem, I will definitely compensate."
Looking directly into the headmaster's eyes, Gloria's expression was determined.
"Well, I'd like to take this opportunity to discuss David's situation with you?"
"What's the situation?"
"Actually, David is out of place in the class, maybe a different learning environment will help him......"
"No, you don't! He must stay here. Please, please keep this kid at the Academy. ”
…………
"Gloria, David."
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Xu Qingshan silently watched the mother and daughter get into the car.
Born as the protagonist's mother, this is undoubtedly a high-risk occupation, and Gloria received a box lunch in the first episode of the anime.
Because she didn't wear a seatbelt, she was in a car accident during a gang battle and flew out of the car, and because David didn't know that she had a lot of money, he chose the cheapest treatment package.
The operation was successful, but it was dead, which is very reasonable.
After all, the hospital cooperated with the scavengers, and if you choose the cheapest package, you will die.
Compared with the medical expenses, it is more valuable to resell human organs and prosthetics.
But there is no doubt that this character, who only appeared in one episode, was a success.
Born as a little person in Night City, and still thinking that she was a single mother, she knew that she would not enter the company for the rest of her life.
So, after discovering her son's talent for learning, she sent her son David to Arasaka Academy, even if she needed to work harder and harder.
The mother's only wish is to see her son climb to the top of Arasaka, which is also the motivation for her to live.
only appeared in one episode, but it is still fresh in people's minds, in addition to the fact that this lady is good-looking when she grows up, the most important thing is her character.
There are highlights and shortcomings, a very real person.
"It's a pity, although David climbed to the top of the Arasaka Tower, he ...... It was the physical climb to the top. ”
However, with his incursion, Gloria will not die, David will not pretend to be Sianweistan, what will be their fate, not to mention a little bit of anticipation.
"Dad, uncle is calling."
While Xu Qingshan was thinking, the queen reminded him that he had come in by calling.
"Well, let's get through."
"What's the matter, uncle?"
"I can't call you if it's okay, isn't it hard wings!"
"Nothing."
"It's good if you don't, I heard that you have become a high-level Arasaka, this is your plan."
"yes, it's just a small step, and you'll be even more surprised later."
"Then I'm ......"
…………
"Didn't I tell you to level up?"
On the way to the place of trading, Gloria in the car sternly instructed David.
"It was my fault for going to the prosthetic doctor."
He didn't dare to refute, but he was a little unhappy in his heart.
Said that it would work, but it broke down once, bastard.
"You made your own decisions, and now we have to lose ten times the money!"
Gloria is now angry and speaks in a very harsh tone, not only to give birth to sons, but also to her own.
"I'm sorry."
He did make a mistake and he's really sorry.
"If you're going to apologize, don't do it in the first place!"
"The first time I asked, you said you didn't have ...... money"
"That's because it's not yet payroll! I certainly don't have that much cash. ”
Interrupting her son, Gloria gave her reasons.
"Also, don't shake your legs anymore!"
After saying that, Gloria also added.
"Hey~"
With a sigh, David stopped shaking his legs.
"Actually, I've been thinking about ...... lately"
"What?"
"I can take a leave of absence and look for a job or something."
"Do you know what you're talking about!"
Hearing that her son wanted to drop out of school and work, Gloria's voice was raised.
"Mom, you know that we really can't afford to pay for the maintenance of the system, and I'm quite out of place in the academy, and Mom doesn't know anything about it.
As long as they are poor, they cannot be taken seriously.
No matter how hard I try to study, I can't be like them.
I also...... Don't want to be them. ”
After David finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the car.
"So what have I been working for? I'm working so hard to make you ...... But now ......, what do you think I've been doing all this time? ”
"Mom."
Turning his head to look at Gloria, David didn't know what he could say.
"You're so smart and talented, that's why I'm working so hard to earn money to cultivate you."
As she spoke, tears welled up in the corners of Gloria's eyes, merging into a small river along her face and turning into a waterfall at her chin.
"If you don't want to study, what should I do?"
"I shouldn't have said it, I'm sorry...... Don't cry anymore. ”
Looking at his mother's appearance, David felt a pain in his heart, turned his head to prevent himself from seeing his mother's tears, and began to apologize and soften.
"I know how they did to you, because I've been through the same thing, so we're going to prove it to them.
I hope you work hard and become an elite.
Climb to the top of the Arasaka Tower. ”
As she spoke, Gloria left her hand off the steering wheel and pointed her index finger upward.
"I know you have the talent to do it."
Gloria burst into laughter, and Gloria's face was full of pride.
Her son is a top talent in Arasaka, and she believes her son will be able to do it.
"It's easy to say."
With his hands behind his head, David pouted.
…………
Night City, Watson District, 'Afterlife' nightclub.
"Mann, Dolio, long time no see."
"Long time no see."
"Something."
In the private room, Mann reached out and motioned for Gloria to sit down, a smile on his fierce face.
"A regular beer."
Putting down the bag she was carrying, Gloria smiled and ordered a beer.
“OK。”
"I've been waiting for a long time, I'm really sorry, something happened when I came, but it's been dealt with."
As she spoke, Gloria took out the sealed Sylvestan from the bag.
"It didn't take long, you said yes, Dolio."
"Indeed, only for a while."
