Chapter 592: David Martinez
【Good morning, Night City!】 】
[Yesterday's Dead Man's Lotto, the final result was a full fifty! Thanks to the endless gang firefights, there are more than twenty corpses on the streets alone. 】
[In addition, there are more than a dozen police officers who are also hanging, and I think you all have to lose money, because the NCPD will definitely not be able to swallow this breath.] Another power outage in Santo Domingue and the destruction of the power grid were the work of cyber hackers. 】
[Meanwhile, Westbrook's trauma team is also on the sidewalk collecting the bodies of cyberpsychotic victims.] And in Taiping Chau... All right... Taiping Zhou is still that Taiping Zhou. I'm your iron buddy Stan. Come with me and start a new day in the city of dreams! 】
"A new day......"
Listen to the emotional phrase on TV, "Let's start a new day in the city of dreams!" Xia Yu pouted, thanks to the passion that Stan could say every time.
Turning off the TV casually, Xia Yu lifted the college uniform hanging on the hanger, put it on his body and went out.
His main job is to be a student, and he usually has to go to school.
The side hustle is a mercenary, and the identity of the ghost walker is here to help him earn tuition, after all, the tuition fee of Arasaka Academy is nearly 10,000 euros.
But this is also normal, Arasaka Academy is the highest academy in Night City, and it can be seen from the name that there is an inseparable relationship between Arasaka Academy and Arasaka Company.
In Night City, the Arasaka Company can almost be said to cover the sky with one hand, so every parent with children expects their children to go to Arasaka Academy.
In this way, it is almost equivalent to half a foot in the company.
However, the college is not so good, almost all the students in it are the second generation of officials, and the parents of the next generation are also employees of the company.
However, it is not absolute, as long as you can afford the tuition, then you can also go to school in it.
After putting on the academy uniform, Xia Yu greeted the sun and boarded the hovering rail car, he was not without his own floating car, but he usually preferred to walk when he went to school.
There are not many people in the carriage, and most of the employees have already started work at this time, or have gone home to rest after the night shift.
After getting off the rail car, Xia Yu walked towards the location of the academy on foot, and when he passed through a certain street, he was surrounded by a projected yellow cordon.
There were also a few police officers investigating something, and the scarlet blood on the ground looked extremely glaring.
"The dog stuff is quite clean, except for these blood stains, there is not even a trace of internal organs."
Looking at the splattered blood stains on the ground, Xia Yu stopped and looked at it.
This location is the street where the Ghostwalkers faced the Tiger Claw Gang yesterday, and the traces of last night's battle have been almost cleaned up this morning, and the efficiency is quite fast.
"Suddenly...... I feel like a soldier king in the city. ”
Xia Yu suddenly had a sense of déjà vu, secretly he was a cold-blooded mercenary who was like a murderer, but his identity on the surface was a student of the Higher Academy.
A proper protagonist template, if there is a school flower that needs close protection, it will be more classic.
It's a pity that no, Arasaka Academy doesn't have a school flower that needs his personal protection, and even if there is a school flower, it won't be his turn.
"Oh my God, give me a school flower."
Xia Yu, who had already left the street, suddenly fell ill while walking, shouting at the sky with his hands raised.
This shout also made the people around him look at him, and when he saw the uniform of Arasaka Academy he was wearing, he silently turned his head back.
Xia Yu didn't care, anyway, the world was already sick, so it was normal for him to get sick occasionally.
Xia Yu, who had put down his hands, became serious again, and then walked forward, but he inadvertently caught a glimpse of an ice-blue streamer in his afterglow.
The dazzling color made him look slightly sideways.
I saw that the streamer was like a rainbow, shining with light pink, ice blue and a touch of pale green, and if you looked closely, you could see the silver white under this dazzling color.
The owner of the streamer is a tall girl, and the sparkling multi-colored streamer is her shoulder-length short hair, which shines with a sparkling rainbow in the sunlight.
The girl also had a cigarette in her mouth, looking quite cold.
"Huh? Graphics card mother, why is she here? ”
Looking at the neon-haired girl with a cigarette in her mouth, Xia Yu paused, he knew this girl.
A graphics card girl who was trained by the Arasaka company since she was a child, lived a dark mining life in her childhood, and hid in Night City after escaping from the company, dreaming of landing on the moon and living a free life.
Her real name is Lucy, and she doesn't know him, but she knows Ghostwalker.
As a mercenary, Ghostwalker will naturally deal with cyberpunks like Lucy, and speaking of which, Ghostrunners are actually cyberpunk.
In this world, cyberpunk is not an abstract concept, but a profession similar to mercenary, doing shady work in order to earn commissions.
Whether it's V in the game, or Lucy's squad in the anime, it can be called cyberpunk.
Within a few seconds of Xia Yu's divergent thinking, Lucy, who was originally in his sight, suddenly disappeared, and then a teenager broke into his sight.
The boy has a hairstyle with shaved sides and a long hairstyle in the middle, and he is wearing the same Arasaka Academy uniform as him, and the whole person looks a little free and uninhibited.
The boy who suddenly appeared looked around as if he was looking for something, and after not seeing the stunning figure, he showed a somewhat lost expression.
Seeing that the boy became sullen again, Xia Yu grinned, strode forward, and then hooked the young man's neck.
"Yo, David, you've seen too much of this astringent Mewtwo, and finally started to hold back the spring?"
The young man, who was still a little lost, was caught off guard by the sudden attack, he hurriedly looked up, and when he was about to defend himself, he noticed the gaze from all directions.
Even if he didn't care about these things, the young man still blushed and hurriedly dragged Xia Yu to escape from here.
After leaving there, the young man glared at Xia Yu with some dissatisfaction: "I said you don't want to say that kind of thing in public, okay?" If you don't want to be ashamed, I still have to be embarrassed. ”
"Yo yo yo, the guy who sells black super dreams actually said that he wants face, this is not going out to hit the luck."
Xia Yu smiled and punched the young man, hearing this, the young man rolled his eyes, and didn't bother to pay attention to Xia Yu's banter and teasing.
The boy's name is David Martinez, and like him, he studied at Arasaka Academy, and the two are good friends.
"Okay, look at your decadent appearance doesn't look like a spring, I made a small profit yesterday, and I went to turn over my intestines after school."
"No, I have something to do in the afternoon."
David smiled helplessly at Xia Yu's proposal, this person who spoke strangely and was a little out of the box was the only friend he had in Arasaka Academy, not one of them.
Arasaka Academy is an aristocratic college, and poor children like him can't fit into this collective, and he relies on the tuition fees earned by his mother to get up early and stay late to go to school at Arasaka Academy.
This also invisibly widened the distance between him and other students, and only this strange guy named Xia Yu was willing to play with him.
Maybe it's because they're both weirdos.
Xia Yu would occasionally say some strange words that no one could understand, and it was only after he had been in contact for a long time that he gradually understood the general meaning of those words.
It's like just turning over the intestines, in human terms, it's just going to eat something delicious together.
According to Xia Yu's explanation to him, if he hasn't eaten well for too long and suddenly eats something good, his stomach will definitely not be able to stand it, and then he will have diarrhea, which is also known as turning over his intestines.
Therefore, turning over the intestines, in other words, is to go out to eat a good meal together.
Although he still doesn't understand why he has diarrhea when he eats well, he has never had diarrhea after prostituting so many delicious things with Xia Yubai.
By the way, the word white prostitution was also told to him by Xia Yu.
Just eat with a mouth, and you don't need to take care of the rest, this kind of behavior is called white prostitution.
"You kid don't give me face, don't you, it's rare for me to make a small profit, and someone treats me for nothing? Do you understand that you don't take advantage of the cheap bastard? ”
"yes, yes, I'm that bastard."
David said casually, he was actually fine in the afternoon, but he didn't want to eat and drink for nothing by Xia Yu's side all the time, so he could only find an excuse not to go.
He will be embarrassed to be treated all the time.
The two of them came to the front of the Arasaka Academy building so noisily, and the building that looked like a long iron box was outlined with mechanical patterns, and in the center there was the Arasaka logo.
It was a line that extended upwards, and then the line extended into three branches, each with a circle at the top, to form the symbol of Arasaka.
"The one who was forced to raise is going to enter this iron coffin again."
Xia Yu looked at the towering iron coffin box and couldn't help but force Lai Lai.
But there is no way, if you want to learn the knowledge of this era, you have to enter a professional academy, and then use the Mewtwo Ring to obtain knowledge.
Mewtwo, which transcribes content into a digital format and then plays it directly in the viewer's nervous system through special amplification, is the common form of film and television movies and video games in the second half of the 21st century.
This also makes it possible for knowledge to automatically enter the brain by simply meditating.
And there are serious Mewtwo, and naturally there are also illegal Mewtwo, that is, Black Mewtwo, rare sexual fetishes, violence, masochistic fantasies, and even death are the most common themes of Black Mewtwo.
This kind of black super dream cannot be circulated in serious channels, it can only be circulated in the black market, and David has secretly sold black super dream in the academy in order to subsidize his family.
"The iron coffin in your mouth, but there are many people who want to get in with their heads sharpened."
David was a little speechless about Xia Yu's statement, you must know that in order to enter this iron coffin, his mother only had a few hours to rest.
"Annoying, don't you want to look like this, okay? Please, I'm just complaining and you're ......"
"Ahh
Listening to Xia Yu start his nerve-torturing chatter again, David covered his ears and ran into the building, he really didn't want to listen to Xia Yu for a moment.
“……”
Xia Yu opened his mouth, looked at David, who reacted greatly, shrugged his shoulders and followed, this baby's psychological quality is not very good, he didn't have any strength, and he fell.
Not long after, Xia Yu entered the classroom one step behind.
It's a high-tech classroom, with a faint blue glow in the ravines around it, and students are seated in simple recliners.
At the podium, there is no teacher to teach, only a projected bald woman who is responsible for their acquisition of knowledge.
"Good morning, students!"
The bald woman scanned the classroom and made sure all the students were lying down, then said, "It's great that no one is absent." ”
Although the mouth said good, the woman's voice did not fluctuate in any way.
"David Martinez, you're not wearing the academy uniform."
The woman said suddenly, and the lying David was wearing only the coat of the college uniform, and did not wear the matching underwear and pants.
Hearing that he was being named, David replied in a loud voice, "I'm sorry, I soiled my uniform and pants in the morning." ”
"Don't you have anything to spare?"
"No, I'm sorry."
"Yes, please submit the application form for uniform exception after class, and start today's lesson now."
At this moment, a male student with short blue shoulder-length hair next to David looked at David with an unhappy face, and his eyes lit up with a glimmer of data.
And on David's side, there was also a sudden request for communication.
Looking at this request, David wanted to hang up directly, but after thinking about it, he still decided to answer.
Katsuo: "You didn't even wear a uniform, are you serious?" If it were me, I would be so embarrassed that I wouldn't dare to come to the academy. ”
David: "I don't feel embarrassed, I care more about my homework. ”
Faced with the ridicule of the short-haired man, David replied directly.
This person's name is Katsuo Tanaka, and he is considered the second generation of officials with a higher status in the school, and his father is a senior executive of Arasaka Company.
Because he looked down on his poor background, he often humiliated him, and mocked him a few words when he caught something, just like now.
Katsuo: "Why are you still using that old version, is it compatible with the latest upgrades?" ”
Looking at the Mewtwo ring that David wore on his face, Katsuo Tanaka mocked that the school's teaching system was often upgraded, so they also had to upgrade the Mewtwo device used by the academy from time to time.
David: "I made him compatible. ”
Katsuo: "What do you mean?" ”
David: "That's what I mean. ”
Katsuo: "You don't even have the money to upgrade, how can you still come to school?" ”
David didn't reply, silently waiting for the teaching to begin, his Mewtwo Ring had been handled by the prosthetic doctor, who promised it to be compatible with the latest system.
"Please log in to the 'Green Classroom' and prepare to meditate."
After the teacher finished informing him, everyone immediately entered Mewtwo, but in David's position, a data hole suddenly appeared.
Immediately after that, a red warning box popped up in front of everyone's eyes, which was a hint that a virus had been detected.
In the next moment, everyone's Mewtwo Ring instantly exploded with overload, emitting green smoke from overheating, and the projection teacher at the podium also directly turned into a black data stream.
Seeing this scene, everyone looked at David unhappily, and David was also a little embarrassed and at a loss.
Xia Yu rubbed his forehead and took off the still smoking Mewtwo ring, a little unlucky, this time David is going to lose money ruthlessly.
Why don't you lend him some money?
Anyway, his own demand for money is not so high, even if he is really short of money, he can make a sum anytime and anywhere.
If David, a poor man, wants to compensate for the cost of system maintenance, then he will have to pay a lot of blood, and maybe he will sell his ass, and then he will have even more blood.
In order to keep his friend's ass, Xia Yu sent a communication request to David.
Woo woo woo, I want to write about Sakura again, Zhishi, my Zhishi, suck (『)
