"No matter how gluttonous time devours everything, we must strive to win our reputation while this breath remains, so that the sickle of time cannot harm us." Voices came from the radio, and the magnetic voice of the anchor came slowly.

Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by.

The sun was shining outside the window, and the city of night rarely had an infinite clear sky.

The sky dome was like a blue curtain with a mist of mist, turning into a dreamlike backdrop reflected on the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the gentle microwave rippled on the surface of the swimming pool on the outdoor lawn, and this gentle warm breeze fell into the room through the gap in the window, blowing a photo album on the table.

The half-opened album flipped through the pages to reveal encapsulated photographs of monotonous figures, a boy and a woman.

The timeline seems to be flipped, and the album slowly opens, and the boy grows up at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, while the woman's height remains the same.

Until one day the boy was finally taller than the woman, and his immature face became a handsome and sunny appearance, although he still looked young, but he also matured a lot.

The scenes in the photos are not static, there are pictures of people at the amusement park, eating at a tavern, and a boy graduating from elementary school and wearing a school uniform at Arasaka Gakuin.

Eight years have passed since Lin Mo was adopted by Xu Wanxue.

Eight years is a long time, enough to change a lot of things.

In order to avoid too many accidents, Lin Mo did not make any major events in the past eight years, but lived to the age of 16 smoothly according to the life trajectory provided by the simulator.

In the past eight years, many big things have happened on time just like the plot in the game.

For many historical reasons, the new American Federation of the world does not control the power of the states.

In 2069, the new U.S. Union took office as a new president, Myers, who at the end of the year proposed a reunification plan to expand federal control over the free states.

However, many of the already independent American territories were not satisfied with this, and an armed conflict ensued, and the War of Unification officially began.

In early 2070, a force was stationed on the outskirts of the city, but the conflict was halted by the emergency measures of Councillor Lucius, who brought in the Arasaka Company, which had recovered from the Fourth Corporate War, for protection.

Within days, one of Arasaka's supercarriers crossed thousands of miles across the ocean to the bay and descended on Night City as an emperor, as if to announce to the world that he would return to the top of the world.

Indeed, fearing that Arasaka's intervention would upset the hard-won stability and cause the conflict to spread across the globe, President Myers soon signed a peace agreement with representatives of the Free State, ending hostilities between the two sides.

As a result, Night City became an international free city, independent of any laws and regulations.

However, Arasaka's help could not be free, and in return, Arasaka rebuilt its destroyed headquarters in Night City and laid the foundation on the west coast of the Americas.

At the same time, Arasaka's prestige and influence around the world reached its peak.

......

Unexpected things happened gradually, but some things quietly changed because of Lin Mo's subjective initiative.

Thanks to the simulator, he was able to simulate the next day once a day.

This ability to spy on the future has also allowed Lin Mo to seek a lot of benefits in these events.

For example, trading stocks or something, I have enriched my small treasury a lot.

And the biggest advantage is that Xu Wanxue has been able to rise in the Kangtao company by virtue of her advance prediction of these events.

Lin Mo will not confuse the priorities, his current life and development space almost depend on Xu Wanxue.

The higher her status, then as a godbrother, he will naturally have a lot of benefits.

Even because she inadvertently revealed these "prophecy" analyses, Xu Wanxue doted on him more and more, and the relationship between the two became better and better.

With such a doting sister, Lin Mo occasionally comes up with this idea:

Ah, it feels so good to eat soft rice!

His sister is a high-level person in the company, and she still eats an iron job like a researcher, even if he lives in the chaotic Night City now, he can live a life like food and clothing.

Just go to be a mercenary, find a middleman to mix a few errands and entrust, and the reward you get is not as good as your pocket money for a month.

He's not the big injustice of the protagonist V, so it doesn't seem necessary to do such a dangerous thing.

But this kind of thought only stayed in his mind for a moment, and Lin Mo quickly dispelled these thoughts.

"The world is very deep, how can you be so decadent? Have you forgotten the various conspiracies that appear in the game? Even if you are a senior executive of the company, there may be an accident on the street one day! ”

In such a comfortable environment, Lin Mo admonished himself like this from time to time.

Calculations and digging in the company, all kinds of ruthless murderers, mysterious AI, dangerous cyber psychosis......

Lin Mo will not forget that when playing this game, if the player chooses the company employee to start the game, he will encounter an assassination commission from his boss.

More than 40,000 euros, the superior who assassinated his boss, a director of special operations, can be regarded as a big man in the company.

Although after the game becomes the real world, many things cannot be taken seriously, and 4W euros are not enough to buy the life of a company executive.

But from this, we can also see the fierceness of the struggle between colleagues within the company.

Your own strength is the guarantee to protect everything you have!

Therefore, Lin Mo, who suddenly woke up one day, began to purchase various training equipment, transforming a warehouse at home into his own small world, in which various training equipment were placed, in addition to combat chips purchased through various channels.

It's a pity that these small actions of his can't hide from Xu Wanxue's eyes.

Because she didn't want her younger brother to become a big muscle bully with muscles in his head, Xu Wanxue directly arranged for Lin Mo to go to school.

"Sitting at home every day to exercise muscles, have you been deceived by those people who help animals? Do you know that those simple-minded guys with well-developed limbs have gone crazy in order to build muscles, and if you become that sickly look...... I'm in a hurry with you! Xu Wanxue said with hatred at that time.

Because it happened to catch up with the Arasaka Company in order to expand its influence in the academic circle of Night City, it founded a Arasaka Academy, and Xu Wanxue also signed up for Lin Mo.

It's not a problem to be at home every day.

Although I know that my younger brother is very talented, he has mastered excessive knowledge since he was a child, and he doesn't need to go to school at all.

But in order to find something to do for him, Xu Wanxue was still ruthless, and for the first time so far, she forced Lin Mo to do something he didn't want to do.

Lin Mo had to pack his bags and go to school bitterly.

However, although the power of her sister is irreversible, the step of going to school is indeed within Lin Mo's plan.

According to the information given by the simulator, he will meet an important person there.

– David Martinez.

This classmate, who will be able to leave a wine name in the [Afterlife] bar in the future, will definitely experience a legendary life worthy of the wine name at some point in the future.

With the qualifications to become a legendary partner, Lin Mo must not let go.

He was able to get cut off by the scavenger in the simulator, probably because he was used to being alone when doing tasks.

Since you can't be a lone wolf, if you want to make a name for yourself in this life, you must recruit teammates.

......

PS: Speed up the progress.
