Chapter 20: Over the Moon

Westbrook.

The sixth floor of the Sakura Street Shorefront Apartment.

Tang Yu had already walked to the door and was about to leave, but was stopped by Lucy's sincere "evaluation", it was not that he was unwilling to learn more about the legendary life of the silver-haired girl in front of him, but the other party seemed to have a strong original resistance and vigilance towards Arasaka.

Even if she has the conditions for a legendary life simulation, Tang Yu has no way to turn on a gray simulation button now, it can only be attributed to the immaturity of the time and the fact that fate is not in place.

In addition, the reason why Tang Yu insisted on teaming up with Mann was because he also found the Sims Grey option in Mann, which meant that Mann also had the possibility of becoming a legend in the future, and Mann might have completed the fate of a legendary life before he was reborn.

Thinking of the fate of the legendary life, Tang Yu couldn't help but mutter.

"Who said it in the previous life, the legends are in the graveyard..."

Lucy noticed that Tang Yu seemed to be whispering something, but he didn't hear it too truly, and asked with a frown.

"What graveyard?"

Tang Yu didn't want to talk about this heavy topic, so he had to find something to prevaricate and fool around, and happened to see the conspicuous old poster on the wall.

The poster depicts an uncle in a spacesuit, pointing forward with an impassioned expression as if announcing loudly.

"Welcome to your new life"

In the center of the poster is a rocket lift-off, and at the end is an advertising slogan.

It only costs 250,000 euros to land on the moon.

It's obviously an advertising poster, and under normal circumstances, no one would put an advertising poster at home, or in such a conspicuous position.

"It's nothing, I mean you're right, Arasaka Company is a rotten graveyard, and everything he does will not end well"

Speaking of this, Tang Yu unconsciously remembered the scene when he and his sister V killed the Arasaka Tower together, and the knives were cut from the first floor to the one hundred and thirty-third floor.

Lucy obviously sensed Tang Yu's absent-mindedness, so she had to turn her face away and stop looking at him, as if she didn't think it made sense to say this to the company dog.

"What's the deal with that corny poster on the wall?"

As soon as the words fell.

Lucy's originally plain eyes gradually disappeared, and the cigarette butt in her hand was also extinguished in the ashtray, and she asked in a cold tone.

"Do you have an opinion?"

Tang Yu couldn't deny it, looking at the moon marketing poster on the wall and said.

"I don't comment on my personal preferences, but I suddenly thought of a few songs about the moon, but I probably haven't heard them, such as "Talking to the Moon" (Note 1)"

Lucy withdrew her cold gaze, turned her head to look out the window, and muttered.

“talking to the moon...”

"Haven't heard of it"

Tang Yu saw that she still looked like she was still ignoring her, so he had to shrug his shoulders to save himself from being bored, put his hands in his pockets and hummed the tune of the moon, and left by himself.

The silver-haired girl changed her position and continued to lie lazily on the bay window, the melody of the stairwell in her ears.

A moment later.

Dumbfounded...

Following.

"Hello host, it's seven o'clock in the morning, and a new day has begun..."

Under the control of the intelligent housekeeper, the curtains of the entire apartment were slowly opened, and the misty sunlight in the early morning immediately woke up Tang Yu, who was sleeping.

Boil water, open windows for ventilation, broadcast weather and traffic information, turn on the TV screen to listen to programs, these functions are all completed by smart butlers.

Although Tang Yu did not live in Oak North District in Westbrook like other colleagues, he still maintained a certain level of quality of life.

The upscale apartment he now lives in is in Little Chinatown, Watson, which is not a high-end and affluent area, but it is close to the Civic Center of the City Center where he works, and the rent is cheaper than living directly in the city center.

The most important thing is that the customs and habits of Little Chinatown are mainly inherited from his hometown, and he maintains the traditions of his hometown during the New Year's holidays, which makes him feel more intimate with his hometown.

Tang Yu got up from his apartment as usual, stretched his waist, put on the portable communicator in his left eye, and went to the bathroom to wash up while checking today's message.

[You have six unprocessed office emails...]

[The journal you subscribed to Night City Perspectives has published new content, the results of the Night City Secondary Education Institution Selection...]

[You have a new one from Gloria Martinez...]

Tang Yu automatically skipped other content and directly checked the message sent by Gloria, meaning that he wanted to meet and invite him to dinner.

After washing up, I went to the open kitchen to make some simple breakfast, fried two eggs and some beef fillet.

Five years ago, Night City banned the slaughtering and breeding of raw poultry, and the meat was vacuum-packed and shipped from outside the city, often at a high price.

On the TV news, a news program hosted by Night City celebrity Stan is playing.

"Good morning, Night City!"

Host Stan, dressed in a glittering blond suit, stood in the live broadcast room with a pink interior background and began today's news broadcast.

"Dead Man's Lotto again, again!"

"The result of the lottery was unexpected, fifty full of them!"

"Thanks to the endless gang firefights, the strong men of the Animal Gang put on a show of speed and fury on the highway"

The screen was playing the picture of Tang Yu and the animal gang driving and chasing on the viaduct that day.

"But in the company square, which has always been known for its safety, there are more than 20 NCPD police officers hanging, I think you all have to lose money!"

"Because it was a cyber madman who caused all this, where is the reason to make the madman compensate?"

The screen jumps to the company square, where NCPD officers fight with cybermaniacs, followed by the scene cleanup after the cybermaniac is killed.

As the safest area assessed by the NCPD, the Civic Center has been heavily patrolled for many years, and there have been few such vicious attacks.

In particular, the headquarters of major companies in Night City are located in Company Square, and the cyber maniac attack has caused a lot of public relations pressure on the NCPD.

Tang Yu didn't pay much attention to the specific content, and for these outdated news, everyone was more interested in watching a lively mentality.

This is the life of Night City, and if you lose your life, you can only become a talking point in the news to please the audience.

"At the same time, Westbrook's trauma team was on the sidewalk to collect the bodies of victims of cyberpsychosis."

"And in Taipingzhou......"

"Okay......"

"Taiping Continent is still that Taiping Continent."

"I'm your iron buddy Stan."

"With me"

"Let's start a new day in the City of Dreams!"

Tang Yu put on a well-fitting shirt and deliberately added a black windbreaker jacket to his uniform suit, so that he no longer looked as old-fashioned as yesterday, at least he could make himself more life and less company dog.

After tidying up.

Tang Yu changed his shoes, buckled up his headphones, turned on the music and went out.

It is still a public suspension train, standing in front of the transparent glass gate, looking at the morning view of the city skyline.

Tang Yu listened to the music in the headphones, and suddenly subconsciously glanced left and right at the carriage out of the corner of his eye, and found that the passengers in the entire carriage were in twos and threes, and seemed to maintain a common tacit understanding and focus on their own affairs.

And yesterday's agile ice-blue silver-haired figure seemed to have just quietly swam past and disappeared.

When the train arrived at the station, Tang Yu turned around and got off the train and walked towards the standing Arasaka Tower, starting the company's dog office day.

Note 1: Originally, I wanted to play "On the Moon" that was popular all over the streets, but considering the scene and character design, I chose this "Talking to the Moon" by Brother Mars as the soundtrack before the final upload. In addition, the protagonist as a modern traverser, will bring some of our modern social and cultural habits, one is to enhance the sense of substitution of the traverser's perspective, and the other is to appropriately increase the interest of reading, if you feel that it affects reading, you can propose to delete it as appropriate!
