"How's it going, can you still get along with that cyber hacker?" Wakako gently blew into the teacup in her hand and took a sip.

"Of course I am very relieved about the person introduced by my mother-in-law, and her skills are also very good." Lin Mo sat opposite, sipping tea and replied.

"What does the tea taste like?" Kazuko put the teacup in her hand back on the table, looking at Lin Mo with a slight inquiry in her eyes.

Lin Mo chirped his mouth, felt the sweetness in his mouth, and said with satisfaction: "It's delicious, I haven't tasted this kind of tea at home." ”

"It's just ordinary tea cultivated from the laboratory, with the current environment, the tea planted in the wild is seriously polluted, and my mother-in-law drank pure natural tea when I was a child, and that is really delicious." Wakako sighed.

Lin Mo smiled at this and did not reply.

"By the way, your sister is relieved that you will come alone and not accompany you?" Kazuko asked as if casually.

"There has always been a lot of work in the company, and the two of us usually get together less and leave more, but recently we have been busier." Lin Mo put down the teacup and replied with a look of regret.

Kazuko's cloudy eyes were a little more different, "Oh, yes, I don't know what kind of job it is, but it can make an older sister who loves her brother willing to spend more time on work." ”

"What kind of work can I have, it's just a daily overtime." Lin Mo replied cautiously.

Okay, you have a good little life Dongying old grandma, just after a few words of chat, you want to talk to me, are the post-00s so strong?

That's right, according to the setting in the game, this kind-faced grandmother is actually a post-zero generation in the setting.

"I see, if you are bored at home alone, you can also come to my mother-in-law's side to talk to me, no matter what, there will always be your cup of hot tea here." Kazuko said with a charitable face.

If he didn't know the other party's character in the game, Lin Mo might really think that the other party was a kind grandmother.

Lin Mo frowned imperceptibly, even now, it was difficult for him to judge whether Kazuko's words were sincere.

After all, this sentence can be a casual polite remark or an admission order, and he will no longer have to be restricted from entering and exiting here in the future.

"Thank you mother-in-law for your concern, I will definitely come often when I have the opportunity in the future." Lin Mo replied with a smile.

The next conversation was still an inconsequential reminiscence, and Kazuko always inadvertently put on Lin Mo's words, trying to find out some valuable information, but Lin Mo's conversation was also not revealed, making it difficult for her to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Before I knew it, it was noon.

During this period, a stranger suddenly called, and Gezi temporarily asked Lin Mo to wait outside for a while, and she answered the phone herself and began to "talk about business".

When she asked Lin Mo to enter the elegant room after the call with Gezi, she glanced at Lin Mo, and finally asked Lin Mo about her future plans with a smile.

"Kid, do you want to be a marginal person?"

Wakako is still in that unhurried tone, but this time it has a firm meaning.

"Yes, I do."

Lin Mo replied calmly, not surprised by Kazuko's surprise inquiry, which is also a plot that has appeared in the simulator.

The Edge Man, also known as the Edge Walker, represents in the cyberpunk world those who lick blood from the edge of a knife and run and walk on the edge of the limit.

These people live in the world, like walking on a tightrope, looking down at the abyss of darkness and nothingness, they desperately want to reach the other side, but this idea is often difficult to achieve.

Characters such as mercenaries, wild cyber hackers, "rock kids" who rebel against corporations, and vagrants who do not belong to any organization can all be collectively referred to as marginalized people.

"Why?" Kazuko asked calmly.

If it was an unknown person who said such things in front of her, Kazuko didn't bother to think about why the other party would choose this path.

But Lin Mo is different, he has a sister who works in the company's top management, as long as there are no accidents, he will have no worries about food and clothing in his life.

With his status, he can only be a high-ranking principal, a buyer, and even a marginal person who is struggling at the bottom.

All he has to do is sit behind the scenes, pay a deposit, hold a glass of expensive champagne in his hand, admire the new hook-up woman at home, or go to the park for a while, and when the scheduled time comes, the middleman will naturally choose the right person for him.

As for whether the task can be completed, it naturally depends on the mercenary's ability, whether it is life or death has nothing to do with the client, they will only stand on the shore and watch quietly, and will never be tainted by the mud of the shadow world.

For example, this time to find a small commission for hackers, Lin Mo only needs to pay, and Gezi will help him take care of everything.

Faced with Wageko's question, the corners of Lin Mo's mouth were frivolous, like a cynical wanderer, but the words that could come out of his mouth were like steel knives cutting through iron, extremely resolute:

"Either famous in the world or nobody, live in the moment, I choose the former."

Kazuko glanced at him silently and couldn't help sighing:

"Have you ever learned about the lives of marginalized people? Kid, you're still young, and many things are never as glamorous as they seem, you only need to know one thing, in Night City, the end of the legendary fringe lies in the grave forever! ”

Lin Mo looked at Kazuko deeply, and his thoughts flowed in his heart, until now, he could more or less guess some of Kazuko's thoughts.

Kazuko wanted him to become a client even more, so that she could have one more "old customer", she knew Lin Mo's financial resources very well, and the expenses required for many small orders might not be as good as Lin Mo's pocket money every month.

Children's money has always been easy to cheat.

It's a pity that if there was no simulator, maybe Lin Mo would really be able to survive in a regular manner.

However, the most important rewards of the simulator's attribute points and specialty points require him to experience actual combat, and if he wants to improve his strength and become a legend, being a marginal person is undoubtedly the best choice at present.

As for going the corporate route? That was not in Lin Mo's consideration.

Seeing Lin Mo's determined expression, Kazuko also somewhat understood his determination.

Maybe just like when the two first met, when Lin Mo was still that little kid, his temperament was still so resolute, he would never give up when he decided to do something good, and if he didn't say that he was not her grandson, he would not be his grandson.

She pulled her phone out of her pocket and operated it — as an intermediary, she still used this rare and outdated communication device.

At the end, a piece of news reached Lin Mo's communication link.

"Someone just called me, saying that the Tiger Claw Gang took his sister away, and he needs to find someone to help him rescue his sister together, I don't think the risk of this list is high, if you want, I can leave it to you to complete." Wakako said in a flat tone.

Looking at the information on the retina, Lin Mo was silent for a long time, nodded and promised: "I can try." ”

"I advise you not to have this attitude of giving it a try, or you will die a miserable death." Kazuko stared at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo nodded, and then turned the question to another aspect:

"By the way, mother-in-law, I want to ask if you have a way to have a Ann Stein prosthesis here."

The intermediaries have a wide range of channels, and in addition to their own connections, they often have many precious treasures.

A qualified intermediary will also provide his mercenaries with the most advanced weaponry if they receive a large order.

Kazuko thought for a moment and replied, "That speed-enhancing prosthetic? Yes, which model do you want to buy, first of all, I don't have a type 3, it is a model only available to the military and the company, and there are only a handful of stocks on the market. ”

Lin Mo couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard this, although he just had the attitude of asking, but he didn't expect that even Kazuko didn't have a more advanced speed component in his hand.

Speaking of which, even the operators of the NCPD Terrorist Task Force, which only appear in the game for 4-star crimes, seem to be equipped with prosthetic bodies that are only Awakestein Type 2.

It seems that it is really difficult to get hold of type 3 or more.

As for type 2, Lin Mo doesn't look down on it at all, this kind of low-end goods implanted in the body is purely the sin of having an operation in vain.

"If you really want to, you can place a commission, as long as you have enough money, the unlucky ones can attack the company's convoy for you, and if you don't mind, you can buy a type 3 prosthesis from the scavenger who has fallen a few hands." Kazuko makes a proposal.

Lin Mo fell into thought.

If he had a choice, he would prefer to obtain the Chinatis Anweistan Type 4 through his sister's route.

But now it seems that it will probably take some time for the company to develop a finished product and mass production.

"How much?" Lin Mo finally made a decision.

Kazuko looked at him with some surprise, but still didn't ask much, and after thinking for a while, he said:

"I rarely take this kind of list, but I advise you to wait, Night City changes every day, maybe in a few days there will be an attack on the company's transport, and I'll help you keep an eye on it then."

"Relax, child, it's not like I've never seen a more expensive prosthetic than this, I estimate that there will be news in the last week, the commission fee is 35,000, and the deposit needs to be charged 30%, which is 1500 euros."

It's a bit expensive...... Lin Mo was a little dumbfounded.

You must know that the average monthly salary of ordinary people is only 2.5K euros, even if the price of the black market is generally more expensive, it is still a lot of money.

Sure enough, it is a gold belt for murder and arson, and the price of military equipment is not cheap at all.

Although he thought so, Lin Mo still handed over the money happily.

So much honorarium is almost as much as his pocket money for a month.

Fortunately, he was as witty as he was to compromise with Xu Wanxue obediently, calling her sister instead of mother, so that the other party was a generation lower.

Because of this, as a well-behaved and sensible younger brother, he can get significantly more pocket money.

With the help of these pocket money to start a pedal and make various investments, with the help of the simulator, his little coffers have long been filled to the point that anyone would be stunned when they look at them.

He is not only the second generation of the rich, but also the rich generation.

Although the Brother Demon is often disliked by outsiders, as a person with vested interests, Lin Mo feels that it is great to have such a sister.

"Wait for my good news, kid." Wakako smiled and accepted the deposit.

"Then I won't bother you, mother-in-law, I'll go and hand over to the client first, and check the details of the task."

Lin Mo didn't continue to waste time here, and turned around and left the private room after saying goodbye.
