Chapter 11: Gloria

By the time school was over, it was already dark, and the evening sun seemed to want to work harder, desperately trying to sprinkle the little afterglow on the city, but it couldn't stop the Night City from coming to his own night.

One by one, the students dressed in the uniforms of Arasaka Academy left the academy and walked out of the classrooms to the inner area of the roundabout.

It's a small park with a few trees, a glass curtain that refracts the light overhead, a road that leads in all directions, and a circular sidewalk above.

Lin Mo also has to admire this kind of spatial construction method that makes the best use of land resources, just a roundabout area, which includes small parks, bars, colleges and bus stations and other functional places, highways and sidewalks and other facilities.

In the classroom, there are sparse people, and many students have long since left the classroom.

In today's era, students have long since abandoned their heavy school bags and textbooks, and only need to bring a Mewtwo device to school, so they don't need to organize anything after class, just pat their butts and leave immediately.

"See you tomorrow, David."

Lin Mo was still lying on the chair and waved his hand leisurely to David, who was about to leave.

"Are you confused? Tomorrow is Sunday and we don't have to go to school. David put his hands in his trouser pockets, speechless.

"Haha, can't we meet on vacation? You can come to my house to have fun, didn't I tell you the address last time? Lin Mo invited.

Hearing this, David lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally shook his head:

"Forget it, I have my own business to do."

Although he had a deep friendship with Lin Mo, in his opinion, these intersections were limited to the academy.

The status gap between him and Lin Mo is not something that this friendship can make up.

Maybe Lin Mo wouldn't have a disdain for his family background like other classmates, but he couldn't guarantee that Lin Mo's family's attitude would be the same.

Don't make trouble for others......

"That's a pity, when you change your mind one day, remember to come to me, you are always welcome in my family!"

Lin Mo waved his hand regretfully, and then a carp jumped off the chair and followed David out of the classroom.

"Don't you still have classes in the evening?" David watched with a stunned look on his face as Lin Mo swaggered out of the classroom.

"Forget it, it's a holiday tomorrow, what are you going to tutor, go home early." Lin Mo waved his hand and skipped tonight's class very indifferently.

After all, in today's world, the so-called education has long become a business, and even the teachers on the podium have become intelligent AI.

Since it is a business, it is natural that there are various price codes.

The teaching mode of Arasaka Academy is divided into two packages, one is the ordinary course, just like David, you can go home in the evening.

The other is the VIP package, so that students can experience the hard life of the company's employees in advance, the teaching mode of 996, and there are extra courses in the evening, claiming to make sure that they will not lose money, so that children can learn more knowledge than others, and move towards a bright future.

"Is your mother coming to pick you up tonight? Speaking of which, we've known each other for so long, and we haven't seen your mother yet. Lin Mo followed David's side and asked casually.

"yes, she said she was free to pick me up tonight." David didn't seem to want to talk about it.

Lin Mo nodded thoughtfully, with an incomprehensible meaning in his eyes.

According to the information given by the simulator, the turning point in David's life seems to be that his mother died in a car accident, so that David had to leave school early, and then became a legend of [Afterlife].

With a tragedy like this, Lin Mo felt that he should do something, at least not to let this friend become an orphan like him.

Outside the park, there is a road around the roundabout, and the cars of the parents of the students are parked on the side of the road, waiting for their children to come out.

A woman waited early next to the car, her long red hair pulled up and curled up with a headband, a very standard married woman's hairstyle, she was wearing a yellow jacket unique to emergency medical technicians in Night City, her figure was quite plump as a wife, and there were two red heat dissipation holes like beauty moles in the right corner of her eye.

The years do not make people grow old, but only make the beauty more mellow like a long-hidden red wine.

"David, this way!" The woman shook her hand, and at a glance she saw David coming out.

Lin Mo followed closely behind David and walked in front of the woman together.

"David, who is this?" The woman was a little confused.

"Lin Mo, my classmate." David didn't seem to want to delve into this issue.

"Classmates are outside, obviously friends!" Lin Mo slapped David on the head, causing the latter to turn his head and glare back like a hedgehog.

"Eh, is it David's friend? My name is Gloria, and it's a pleasure to meet you. The woman looked at Lin Mo with a look of surprise, and was sincerely happy that her son could make friends.

"My name is Lin Mo, and it's a pleasure to meet you, beautiful lady." Lin Mo elegantly stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party in a friendly manner.

"Okay, okay, let's go back first, Mom, don't you have to go back to work overtime tonight, go back early." David urged from the side, not seeming to want the two of them to have much communication.

"Then that's all for today, David, remember to come to my house to play when you have time!" Lin Mo said with a smile on his face, deliberately letting Gloria on the side hear.

Gloria blinked, didn't say anything, got in the car and went home with David.

"Thunderway Gallena Motors... The worst vehicle in the game, it seems that their family's economy is not ideal... Where did he get so much money for his son to go to Arasaka Academy? Looking at the car in the distance, Lin Mo fell into thought.

In Night City, good people can't survive, especially the people at the bottom, if they can have a lot of money in their hands, they must be doing some unclean business.

This is not Lin Mo's malicious speculation, but this fucking world is like this.

Even the seemingly silly and sweet rich sister in the family is by no means as pure and harmless as it seems.

Today's David, no matter how you look at it, seems to be just an ordinary Arasaka Academy student, and the only thing worth commendating seems to be only excellent grades?

"But as fate would have it, you'll be a legend, David...... Whether you want to or not. Lin Mo muttered to himself.

He is now the same age as David, both born in '59.

The point in time for David to become a legend is next year, which means that a 17-year-old boy has achieved an achievement that countless mercenaries have not touched.

Although he didn't know how the process was, Lin Mo was sure that it was by no means a smooth road, destined to be paved with blood-stained thorns.

Sighing, Lin Mo's eyes showed orange light, his lips moved slightly as if he was muttering something, and after a while, a car drove in front of him, and the door opened automatically, signaling him to enter.

Lin Mo sat in the back seat of the car.

"Welcome to the Draman car service, choose Drametin and leave the worries behind."

Behind the two seats in the front seat of the car are two monitors, which show a bald AI in a suit with blue lips.

"Send me home to Dlaman, Mansion Seven in North Oaks." Lin Mo leaned back on the soft seat and closed his eyes to take a nap.

"I don't understand, at this point in time, you should continue your studies in Arasaka Academy." The bald AI asked calmly, and his tone was unwavering.

"School is out early, don't ask, send me home." Lin Mo said.

"According to Ms. Xu Wanxue's contractual agreement, I must inform the guest of your whereabouts." The bald AI replied.

"It's okay, tell her, send me home first." Lin Mo rubbed his temples in annoyance.

"Okay."

Delamain Taxi, a taxi company operated by intelligent AI, can always find a way out for customers no matter how congested the road is.

Lin Mo, who knew the plot of the game in advance, naturally knew how awesome this company and taxis were.

The protagonist of the game, with the help of this taxi in one operation, directly escaped from the encirclement of the elite troops of the Arasaka Company, and even the final boss of the game, Adam Hammer, could not cause damage to the car.

Even the company's "Keep Perfect" package comes with a considerate service of transporting the customer's whole body, and it has no flaws except that it is expensive.

It's a pity that Lin Mo doesn't want to enjoy this kind of service.

Now that it's 2075, he must also speed up the progress of improving his strength.
