Chapter Ninety-One: Golden

Lin Mo didn't know if his words had taken effect.

During this period, David also stupidly asked what "fortune telling" was.

Lin Mo also popularized some knowledge of Xianxia by the way, and with the experience he had seen a lot in Lanxing, he was stunned to deceive David.

This kind of knowledge appeared in the cyber world, it is still a bit premature, and David, who has never been exposed to these stories, can't help but feel inexplicably touched by this kind of "my life is up to me", "thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi" stories.

Now it looks like David is looking at the street scene outside the car with a lost face.

In the face of his repeated bombardments, he still did not reply a word, and it seemed that these words did reach the bottom of his heart.

Needless to say, when the words you say can pierce the listener's heart like a sharp knife, then these blade crumbs that pierce the heart also need to give the other party enough time to digest.

Lin Mo didn't continue, he took his gaze back and continued to look at the road ahead.

Like the tranquility after a storm, after being devastated by Lin Mo's words, the atmosphere in the car has now become solemn.

David lowered his head, his eyes were dazed, and he stomped his feet uneasily, and Lin Mo's words kept echoing in his mind.

- Whether your future is for others or for yourself.

Very spicy words, when these words were spoken, David could feel a certain string in his heart being touched, echoing in the depths of his invisible heart.

He subconsciously felt that Lin Mo was talking nonsense, the relationship between the two could only be called a relatively deep friendship so far, and it could be said to be friendship if it was barely counted.

Who is he Lin Mo, he thinks he knows him very well, how can a rich kid empathize with an ordinary classmate?

David's youthful rebellious psychology surged up in his chest, and he wanted to refute Lin Mo's words, but after searching the ink in his stomach and examining his past, he found that what Lin Mo said was ...... Seems right?

Since childhood, I have high hopes from my mother, and I will be proud of my mother's praise of my talent, on the one hand, my mother's expectation and recognition, and on the other hand, the bullying and belittlement of my classmates in the college.

To this day, he seems to be living according to the vision planned by his mother, as Lin Mo said, and his mother is the only person in the world who recognizes him and praises him......

It was because of his mother's recognition of him that he chose to go to Arasaka Academy to study; Or in order to gain the approval of his mother, he chose this path.

David's eyes flickered, the seat behind him was softer than the bed at home, and Lin Mo didn't speak again, giving the classmate time to digest and think.

After a long time, David slowly raised his head and turned to look at Lin Mo beside him, his eyes were a little dazed and a little confused:

"So... Isn't it good? ”

Seeing that David finally came back to his senses and asked himself questions, Lin Mo couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"I've never said it's bad, but it's still the same sentence, is your future for someone else's life, or for yourself?"

"You once said that your mother wants you to work at Arasaka after graduation, which is understandable, and parents naturally want their children to become talents."

Speaking of this, Lin Mo also paused, and he inevitably thought of the sister at home who doted on him to the point that there was no limit at all.

"But you have to think about it, would you be happy to live simply to fulfill the dreams that others have imposed on you? Will the people you value be happy? ”

"Why not?" David frowned and retorted dissatisfiedly.

Although he thought in his heart that some of what Lin Mo said was indeed reasonable, it didn't mean that he could change his character that he had persisted in until now because of a conversation.

"Then let me ask you, has your mother ever said anything similar to you in the past, such as what she wants you to do?"

"She's said it in the past...... You want me to stand at the top of Arasaka. David whispered.

Lin Mo smiled and continued:

"It's very much in line with a mother's vision for her son, so let me ask you again, are you willing to use your own efforts and sweat to get a job through Arasaka Academy, and then, as your mother said, use all kinds of means just to stand at the top of Arasaka Company one day?"

"No, isn't this just the same as Katsuo?" David said in disgust: "If it wasn't for my mother to let me study, I would have dropped out of school and worked a long time ago." ”

"So, you're just a kid who is used to living for others, and you're both numb and immature enough." Lin Mo sneered.

David glanced at the young man next to him unhappily, and wanted to refute the other party.

Aren't you the same age as me? What to drag?

"Then I'll think about it another way, for example, I mean if, you pass other ways, and one day you stand on the top of the Arasaka building, overlooking the entire company square, and all the people who stand in your way are trampled under your feet, will you be happy at that time?" Lin Mo asked.

David was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about Lin Mo's question, and the scene of himself standing on the top of the Arasaka building couldn't help but come to mind.

In the silent silence, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he suddenly said:

"Yes."

"Yes, that's when you live for yourself!" Lin Mokang smiled, his eyes revealing relief:

"Think about it again, if I hadn't made a move before, but let you punch the man with your own hands, would you laugh out loud?"

“...... Yes! David couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Wouldn't you be proud if one day you lived in a big house by your own efforts, instead of relying on your mother to let you take the path of life?"

“...... Yes. ”

"If ......"

......

After asking many times in a row, Lin Mo could see that David's eyes had a little more inexplicable brilliance, no longer as lifeless as in the past, as if he was insensitive and numb to everything, pretending to be mature.

Lin Mo couldn't help but secretly wonder if he took out the card and handed it to David at this time, and then said a lot of pictures of the future of his studio......

Isn't this the unscrupulous profiteer who abducts the little boy to work in the dark?

Thinking of this, Lin Mo resisted the urge to take out the card and continued:

"Numbness, pretending to be mature, that's your past life, David, you've never lived for yourself, so you've numbly escaped into the virtual fantasy of Black Mewtwo, you've pretended to be mature and lived according to your mother's demands, so much so that you never learned to be flexible."

"Your mother asks you to step on top of the Arasaka company, rather than to say that she wants you to get ahead, but you don't seem to think about whether the dream that your mother has imposed on you is reasonable, or the real purpose of your mother's schooling, you just go on blindly...... If you continue like this, you and your mother will suffer one day. ”

It was right or wrong for Gloria to go out of her way to get David to go to school at Arasaka Academy, and Lin Mo didn't want to comment on it.

As a mother, this kind of behavior of loving her child and hoping that her child will get ahead one day is normal.

But this is Night City, and the probability of success and failure of this dream is too different.

If he succeeds, the best outcome is that David joins Arasaka and becomes a junior clerk, which will have to take on some inexplicable debts, and if he is lucky, he may be promoted to the middle and lower levels and become a small manager.

As for the competitive pressure within the company... Hehe.

However, once you fail, you don't have to think about the final outcome at all, and the original life simulation has already given the answer.

The probability of failure and success like this is not balanced, and if you fail, you will step into the abyss of no return, and only the craziest gambler will do this kind of thing.

And the mother will be willing to be this kind of gambler for the sake of the child.

It is even more difficult to come out of a poor family, and this kind of character does not exist in the game, but there is also a great secret behind that side event.

As for the rest of the noble sons of the poor family... Lin Mo thought for a while, and then thought of an in-game NPC.

- Maiko Maeda, a character who climbed up from an ordinary sex puppet, if her deeds are written into a biography, it is almost no less than the cyberpunk version of the drama of "The Little Palace Maid Counterattacks the Queen".

Thinking of this, Lin Mo also felt that it was almost time, and silently took out the small card from his pocket and handed it to David.

"In short, no matter what you were in the past, now I want you to be able to change."

"Although you are too different from the image I expected, how to say it, the legend still needs to grow on its own after all, I will not provide you with too much help, but I will give you a chance."

"David Martinez, I hereby formally invite you to join my team, I wonder if you would like to?"

Lin Mo stared at David's eyes solemnly.

If David still chooses to refuse, then he won't bother to care about this little kid who hasn't grown up in the future.

After all, Night City is so big, people like Jack and V, who have the strength to be in charge at the beginning, are not more reliable than this little kid when they are used as teammates?

David was a little stunned, looked down at the card in his hand, and as he expected, it was written in the rustic characters of [Lin's Garbage Disposal Studio].

What... To put it so emotionally, it turned out to be not a garbage disposal job. David thought it was a little funny.

However, such a long conversation with Lin Mo did make him realize something, and it was like looking at himself thoroughly in a mirror.

The seed is planted in the depths of his heart, and it depends on his personal experience to take root and sprout in the future.

But just for this conversation, they can be regarded as friends, and David can't think of any other reason to reject Lin Mo.

"You garbage studio, I don't help you, who will help you?"

David's youthful heart was also aroused, and an uninhibited smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he took Lin Mo's business card.

In the past, his mother was the only one who recognized him.

Now it seems that there is one more person now, or his contemporary... Friend.

"Well, do you really think that the garbage disposal studio I run is true? You take a closer look at the business card and tear the outer layer off. Lin Mo sighed and said calmly.

David was stunned, holding the business card in both hands and looking at it in front of his eyes, and after careful observation, he really found something wrong.

Business cards appear to be made of plastic, but they are actually much heavier.

He tried to scrape off the outer layer with his fingernails, but he did scrape off the outer layer of material, revealing a golden patch hidden underneath!
