Chapter 126: The Way to Come (2-in-1)
The two walked through the lively bar hall, the neon lights above their heads still scattered messy light, and the pillars of light dancing randomly like snakes wandered in the bar, and the people in the middle of the field of vision could not help but be filtered with ambiguous colors, like a fantasy trapped in a dream, and the fog of desire and love was in front of them.
While walking, Jack's mouth didn't stop, and he followed Lin Mo and whispered with emotion:
"It's still the same place as before, there are still so many guests, it's the best Mewtwo experience hall in the city, and when I wait for you to come over, I can't help but want to experience it."
As an old-fashioned fringe man on the streets, he is also familiar with this bar.
It's just that I don't come here very often to have fun, and I only come here occasionally because I talk about business.
Thinking of this, Jack couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lin Mo, and said teasingly:
"You kid, don't come here every day, I'm not against enjoying it once in a while, but at your current age, if you waste your body early, you have to implant those ghost steel cannons or something, don't you say it's a shame?"
Lin Mo smiled and said disapprecantly:
"If you want me to say, Brother Jack is the one who needs attention, come to this kind of place, aren't you afraid of Sister Misty to blame?"
"That little girl..."Speaking of Misty, Jack also laughed a few times, touched his head and whispered, "As long as you don't say it, no one will know that we have been here tonight." ”
Just when Lin Mo thought that Jack also wanted to have some fun occasionally, he was stunned to see that the expression on the other party's face suddenly became serious, and he looked at him meaningfully:
"But there are some things, you can deceive others, you can't deceive yourself, greedy for pleasure and ruined your body, you may die outside when you do tasks in the future, you are so promising, you can't die earlier than me!"
Lin Mo laughed a few times, wanting to ease the atmosphere, and laughed:
"How unlucky you are saying this, but although the business in the afterlife bar is big business, the risk is really high, and it's normal for Big Brother Jack not to know about this."
"Fuck you, you kid still kicked your nose in the face, even if you become a big man in the next life in the future, in my eyes you are still the little kid who used to follow my ass and tremble!"
"Can you stop mentioning that..."Lin Mo sighed helplessly.
He had asked Jack to take him to Valentino territory, but it was the first time he had wandered around in such a land of three religions.
Even with Jack by his side, he didn't dare to be careless, and only after making all the preparations did he follow Jack closely, looking at the street scenery of Night City.
But those preparations, in Jack's eyes, are just the excessive worries of the eldest young master who has never been out.
Although the order of Night City is indeed very chaotic, the probability of being shot for no reason while walking on the street is still very low, so this matter is not less ridiculed by Jack.
However, what makes Lin Mo more relieved is that even though he has now made a name for himself on the road, Jack still has not been estranged from him because of the gap in identity, and he is still so enthusiastic.
Come to think of it.
In the game, even if he chooses the company dog to start, in the face of V, who already has a lot of status in the company, Jack still doesn't mind being born to befriend him.
It can be seen that in the eyes of the other party, the separation of identities has never been an obstacle to becoming friends, which is much better than David's kid.
"If you want me to say, it's better for me to work together than to enjoy Mewtwo in this kind of place, you also went to my bar, and I rented a small warehouse near there, and converted it into a fitness room, where I warm up when I'm fine." Jack said with a smile,
"You should also learn from me, man, you should always have your own little world, if you also want to rent these small warehouses, you can come to me, I can introduce you."
What's this, it's better to go to my house, my warehouse at home is quite big... Lin Mo thought unprovoked.
Just as Lin Mo wanted to answer that there was already a similar little world, he had an idea, as if he had thought of something, and resolutely changed his words:
"I'll consider it if I have the chance."
Just when Jack wanted to continue to say something, Lin Mo suddenly stopped, took out an identity card and swiped it in front of an electronic door, and suddenly opened the private room.
"We're here."
Lin Mo moved out of the way, letting Jack take the lead in the box, and then closed the electronic door.
The room is compact, with a pink circular sofa and a table with a few "menus" with bewitching girls on the cover, and a shelf with magazines in the corner.
Although the space is small, there are all the things that should be there, giving people a sense of security with absolute guarantees.
"I didn't expect this kind of small box to be quite decent."
Jack sat on the sofa and patted the sofa to test the softness.
"After all, it's my treat, I can't let Brother Jack stay in a place like that outside, it's too noisy." Lin Mo explained with a smile.
"Forget it, let's talk about business first, let's talk about it, you specially invited me here, do you have anything serious to talk about?"
Jack also gradually restrained his smile and looked at Lin Mo with a straight face.
Lin Mo didn't continue to sell it, took out the card from his pocket and handed it to the table in front of Jack.
Jack picked up the card, looked at both sides, and smiled when he saw the small print.
"Garbage disposal studio? This name is used to confuse other people's eyes, do you want to invite me to run errands with you? ”
Lin Mo smiled and said frankly: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, Brother Jack, that's right, I just want to invite you to work with you, Brother Jack." ”
"Are you sure? Boy, I'm glad you look up to me, but you also know that I've been on the streets for several years since I quit the Valentino Gang, and I haven't made a single achievement in the past few years, so I'm far worse than you. ”
Jack pinched the card between his fingers and subconsciously flipped it back and forth, his gaze not lingering on the card for long.
He didn't even look at the benefits on the card.
"I'm extremely sure that in the team I want to create, you must be without you, Brother Jack, this is my most sincere request." Lin Mo's attitude was sincere.
Jack pinched the card, gently touching his chin with his other hand, and smiled softly.
"It seems that I can't refuse, compared to teamwork, so many years on the streets have made me better at fighting alone, but I don't reject teamwork, if you invite, then I have no reason to refuse." He said in a surging voice.
Seeing that Lin Mo, a junior, broke into a reputation faster than himself, and was called his eldest brother by him, Jack's heart was still more or less low.
At the moment, Lin Mo is willing to give himself a chance, he is not such a hypocritical person, as a man, he should be happy.
"Tell me, what are your plans for the future development of the team? It's all called a studio, so you don't want to invite me alone. Jack smiled softly, seeing through Lin Mo's mind at a glance.
"Yes, I've invited everyone else besides Big Brother Jack." Lin Mo nodded with a smile.
"Who is it?" Jack asked.
"Hmm... A retired member who used to work in the Tiger Claw Gang, a hairy kid with a lot of talent, and a cyber hacker who is qualified to enter the afterlife bar, these are the three of them at the moment. Lin Mo briefly introduced.
"In addition, there is a supernumerary who is also a hacker, but it is still in the testing period."
Jack touched his chin, looked pensive, and muttered:
"The composition of your members, to be honest, is a bit miscellaneous, but compared to excellent strength, the most important thing is the issue of trust, are those three people trustworthy?"
"Doesn't Big Brother Jack believe in my eyes?" Lin Mo smiled meaningfully.
Jack couldn't help laughing, reached out and slapped Lin Mo's thigh angrily, and scolded with a smile:
"Damn, you kid still dare to give me a sloppy eye, if I say no, then wouldn't I bring myself in."
He is also a team member specially selected by Lin Mo, if he doesn't believe it, wouldn't he be saying that Lin Mo has a very bad vision and has belittled himself in disguise.
"Actually, I have another goal, but the number of people in this goal is a bit large, and it is more difficult to bite, so I have to dig the foot of the wall little by little." Lin Mo continued.
"Other squads?" Jack was keenly aware of what Lin Mo was referring to.
"Yes, a team that qualifies for the Afterlife Bar." Lin Mo said.
Jack nodded his head and agreed:
"That's really a hard stubble, it's not so easy to dig the corners of the wall, this kind of team that has experienced the baptism of gunfire is not as scattered as the random team outside, you have to be careful if you want to dig the corner, if those people find out, they may give you a shot in the head."
"Don't worry, the hackers in the team now are the ones I turned from there." Lin Mo smiled.
"Damn, you're pretty awesome, boy, is this hacker a woman?" Jack was slightly surprised.
"How do you know?" Lin Mo was stunned.
Jack looked like he knew this, looked at Lin Mo with a smug look, and said with a wicked smile:
"Your little face, let alone turning one over, if the boss of their team is a woman, he will definitely be abducted by you."
"I should be right, the boss of their team should be a man."
Lin Mo nodded a little puzzled, and said helplessly:
"It's true that I'm a man, but my face doesn't necessarily fit well in Night City, and you know that Night City's aesthetic is very diverse."
"Hehe, you kid doesn't know as much as I do in this regard, although people now advocate all kinds of prosthetics and unique styles, but in the big dye vat of Night City, do you dare to say that you are not special?" Jack's smile was slightly contemptuous, and he looked like a person who had come over.
As he spoke, he picked up the magazine on the table, flipped through a few pages at random and handed it to Lin Mo.
"Look at this."
The guests who can enter the box are all distinguished guests, and in order to show off the unique style, the Litz Bar has specially prepared a paper version of the "menu" for the guests of the box.
Compared to a digital display screen, this paper "menu" seems to be within reach when flipped in the hand, and the beautiful picture album is rendered with extremely moving colors, outlining a beautiful picture that can only be glimpsed in a dream.
Like this kind of "menu" that implies an advertisement, every beautiful picture on it is the same image that appeared in the Mewtwo movie.
There will never be any bullshit that "the advertisement is for reference only, please refer to the actual thing".
Lin Mo took the magazine, glanced at it casually, and asked suspiciously:
"What's so good about this, isn't it just some popular Mewtwo movies?"
He's no longer the first time he entered the Lizzy Bar.
Seeing this kind of recent most popular Mewtwo movie, he was not touched, and his good calm attributes made him accustomed to these provocative pictures.
In other words, is it possible that his calmness attribute was increased by 1 point at the beginning, because he often came to Lizzy Bar to exercise? Lin Mo thought divergently.
Jack chuckled a few times, stretched out his thick fingers, pointed to the pictures in the magazine, and asked:
"Look at the little wild cats on here, they have their own style and charm, but one thing is for sure, whether in your eyes or in my eyes, these little wild cats are not bad-looking and have a good figure."
Lin Mo spread out the magazine and took a closer look, and found that this was really the case.
Although the above participants have different appearances and temperaments, and some are not within his aesthetic range, it is undeniable that these people have unique charm.
"The human brain hypnotizes itself, but the body instincts don't, and the hormones don't." Jack pretended to be profound, and said in a low tone:
"So, in the land of Night City, your charm is quite rare, although it is true that you are not as big as me in terms of size alone, and your muscles are not as strong as mine, but there are always people who like it, right?"
"Taught." Lin Mo suddenly came to his senses and was impressed by Jack's remarks.
Speaking of the third world, it seems that he has not been exposed to this kind of knowledge......
When he was in Blue Star, he was still a hard-working medical animal, and after crossing into the main world, he was still a hard-pressed social animal, and now he is a teenager who is still underage.
Lin Mo touched his chin and thought to himself, his eyes were deep.
If you have this opportunity in this life, after waiting for your physical age to become an adult, do you want to find a way to make up for it?
With her current worth, as long as Xu Wanxue is willing to nod and allow, it doesn't seem difficult to find a girlfriend.
However, Lin Mo, who was pondering, suddenly frowned, and suddenly thought of something bad.
He is now 16 years old, and it will be two years before he reaches adulthood.
It just so happened that his birthday was still on December 29th, and by that time, the game plot of the cyber world had long been over.
In two years, with the help of the simulator and the living Hades of Enveloping V, the achievements he wanted to make in Night City were most likely completed.
However, who knows the process, the simulator can only give a prediction one day in advance, and the V in the game is a big kill, and the result is still less than half a year to live.
By the time it comes to the end, even the most glorious "turning into fire with my remnants" seems to have changed a lot of things, and it seems like nothing has changed.
Furthermore... There is also an almost incomparable streaming AI that peeks into the human world...
I still have a long way to go... When it comes to girlfriends, let's go with the flow.
"Hey,, you kid can't lose your soul reading these magazines, how long have you been holding back?"
Seeing that Lin Mo didn't speak for a long time, Jack couldn't help but reach out and wave his hand in front of his eyes, instantly pulling him back to reality.
"I was just thinking about something." Lin Mo explained as usual, and casually put the magazine on the table: "And we seem to be off topic, isn't it time to talk about business?" ”
"It's too boring to talk about business all the time, and it's good to talk about something else once in a while to ease the atmosphere." Jack smiled, looked at the empty table, and frowned:
"Boy, after all that, your tongue is about to come out, don't you order some drinks?"
Lin Mo rubbed his forehead and said, "I almost forgot, before I came, I only thought about how to invite Big Brother Jack to join the team, and I didn't think about ordering drinks." ”
"Let me go, you look like you have a lot on your mind, just let me do this little work." Jack took the little thing heartily and got up neatly and walked out of the box.
Looking at the back of Jack leaving, Lin Mo sighed.
After Jack's teasing, he was indeed thinking a little too much.
The future is left to the future to decide for himself, and what he has to do now is to pull the team up as soon as possible, and the top priority is to pull the people he values into the team first.
When he first sees Mann, he often compares him to Jack.
Both of them are strong men with big shoulders and thick waists, and at first Lin Mo mistakenly thought that the two might get along, until he saw the prosthetic body on Mann's body later, he dispelled this idea.
These two people are completely two extremes.
A person who purely treats his body parts as parts that can be replaced at will, and wants to rely on various powerful prostheses to make himself go further in the industry of marginal people.
So much so that it is only the use of immunosuppressants, but in the eyes of the other party, it has almost become a kind of enjoyment.
Although he aspires to be strong, he does not blindly pursue prosthetics, but attaches importance to his own physical strength, likes to make iron in his own home, and trains himself into a big man.
However, looking at his performance in the game, it can also be seen that he also has the ability to stealth like a ninja.
The above is all the information that Lin Mo got after contacting the two of them.
However, the two have a common denominator in their temperament, except that Mann is more ruffian and dissolute, while Jack is more mature and optimistic.
As soon as he thought of this, the electronic door of the box suddenly opened, Lin Mo's train of thought was interrupted, and when he looked up, he saw Jack, who was carrying wine bottles and drinks, with a happy smile, quickly stepped into the box and put these things on the table.
"Vamos, Chico (come on, boy), let's have a few drinks and talk about the future together!"
Jack raised his bullet cup and exclaimed enthusiastically:
"I know your kid is a little allergic to alcohol, when I was in my mother's bar, you squirmed and said that you were a little allergic to alcohol, buddy, I still remember it, so I chose a drink for your kid."
Lin Mo took a drink and raised his glass to signal: "I have a heart, Brother Jack." ”
Jack also raised his glass, drank it all, touched his mouth and said:
"Actually, to be honest, I never thought that I would be a partner with you one day, with your age, in fact, you should call me uncle, but it's strange to be chatting with you, I don't even feel like chatting with children... Instead, it's more like chatting with a peer, which is really weird. ”
Lin Mo smiled and held the cup, the jeweled glass turned in his hand like a toy,
"Perhaps, this is fate."
"Oops, I forgot to get down to business before drinking." Jack patted his head, and Lang Shuang smiled:
"You see, you have to touch a few glasses before drinking, so that it tastes good enough, you can't drink, you can use drinks, let's come first, for the sake of life."
He raised his wine glass and waited for Lin Mo.
Lin Mo also raised his wine glass, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Respect for the time to come." ”
"What a toast this is!"
