Chapter 196: Game Producer
A passionate hello directly woke V up from her sleep, and she thought it was an unqualified neighbor watching the news.
Grabbed the pillow under his head and slammed it against the window, which was the direction the sound came from.
"Be quiet, silly*!"
Although she knew that she would definitely not be able to smash it, she could relieve her anger a little.
Unexpectedly, the pillow was thrown out, and the news broadcast was gone, but there was a slightly joking voice: "Oh, it seems that our Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) is a bit serious in getting up." β
V finally reacted at this time and took the guests home last night.
Glancing at the time, and then at Li Ang, who was standing by the window with a pillow, he said irritably: "It's only seven o'clock in the morning, is it necessary to have hysteria at the window so early?" What, because I didn't let you sleep with your sex doll in your arms, you took revenge on me like this? Planning to storm the Night City? β
Mercenaries are generally night owls, and even if they don't have a mission, they will find a bar to drink until midnight.
So she basically sleeps until noon every day, and seven o'clock in the morning is an unheard of time period for her.
Lack of sleep is prone to hypoglycemia, and hypoglycemia can easily lead to temper tantrums.
Li Ang didn't put this little thing at ease, because he had seen a worse temper, and he reminded regardless of his previous suspicions: "The shoulder strap is off, pull it." β
V subconsciously lowered his head, and then immediately blocked his chest.
Without waiting for her to speak, Li Ang took the initiative to turn around.
At the same time, I was thinking about whether to recommend a beauty prosthesis to Ms. V, and he could pay for it.
No matter how bitter you are, you can't be bitter about the child.
At the same time, the embarrassed V tidied up his shoulder straps and put on a T-shirt to feel at ease.
"Alright, turn around."
Leon didn't do so, but maintained his back-to-back position, moving little by little to the bathroom.
"I'll wash my face."
The restrained behavior made V Chenggong forget the embarrassment just now, and couldn't help but smile: "It's not so exaggerated, and there is no leakage, besides, I was careless." β
Li Ang secretly said that if there is a leak, it will be over, and it is estimated that Ms. V will turn into V Zhentian on the spot.
V didn't know what he was thinking, just urged: "You hurry up, I also want to wash my face and sober up, it's been a long time since I've gotten up so early." β
After this little episode early in the morning, the two of them packed up and prepared to go out.
"Don't forget the disguise." Leon, who walked to the door, reminded.
V said, "I figured out one thing when I dreamed last night, and it may not be so important whether to pretend or not. Then she pointed to her pretty face: "This is the real V." β
"Then this dream is strong enough." Leon touched his chin and commented.
"But you're right, this is V."
V understood the meaning of his words, and his mood became more and more happy: "Where are you going to go for an interview, do you need me to give you a ride?" β
Li Ang is also ready to give Ms. V a big surprise, how can she tell in advance.
"You can just be busy with yourself, the place where I interviewed is not far from here, the night guard of a small hotel."
"Security? That's pretty good. V's response was a bit flat.
Because she suddenly realized that the two may not be all the way, she yearns for freedom and likes to fight, while Li Ang seems to be more stable, find a living and live an ordinary life.
If you stay with him for a long time, you may get him in trouble.
Then he extinguished the idea of sending him: "Okay, you decide for yourself, I'll go to find Jack, and I don't know if he got up so early." β
So the two separated outside the apartment, one walked to the interview location, and the other drove to the underground parking lot.
Here, Li Ang had just walked a few hundred meters, and the roaring engine sounded behind him, and it was V who chased after him.
She slowly lowered the window, and her exaggerated sunglasses covered most of her face: "I thought about it just now, security guards are not a job in Night City, if you encounter trouble that can't be solved, come to me, for the sake of friends, I can give you discounts." β
With that, he left with one foot on the accelerator.
Although she felt that she and Li Ang were not all the way, and it would be difficult to meet again in the future, they should still be taken care of after they got acquainted.
And Li Ang, who was standing on the side of the road and had eaten a mouthful of car exhaust, had a strange expression.
Who is coming to a catastrophe right away, and doesn't have any points in mind?
Seeing the classic car with absolutely excessive emissions disappearing at the end of the road, he suddenly felt that he should also get a car to drive, it's 2077, and it's a bit unreasonable to always walk.
However, he doesn't have any connections in Night City, and it's a bit difficult to get a good car.
Formal channels are controlled by large companies, and ordinary people who want to buy must go through a lengthy review to determine whether they are qualified, so the vast majority of Night City residents buy cars through middlemen to buy second-hand.
"I knew I had just asked V to take me to the next life for a walk."
The Afterlife Club is a gathering place for mercenaries and middlemen, but they are only allowed to enter until they are led by acquaintances or are famous enough, otherwise they will be closed.
Li Ang pondered for a moment, and finally set his eyes on a few Tiger Claw gang gangsters not far away.
If you can't buy it, you can grab it.
The process didn't need to be elaborated, so as not to teach the children badly, in short, he followed the gangsters to find a small stronghold of the Tiger Claw Gang, and it took less than ten minutes to drive a black minivan.
The Columbus V340-F Freight, produced in 2068, is simple to configure, fully functional, and the low-profile engine is absolutely reliable, although it can't make people's hearts beat faster.
It's just that the smell in the car is not flattering, and the scraps of the Tiger Claw Gang use it to transport contraband.
Leon went to the department store and bought a can of air freshener and sprayed it on much better.
As for the stronghold, the only ones that can pant now are cockroaches and rats.
The NCPD (Night City Police) is estimated to have to applaud when they come, and they are so clean!
Driving the first wheel in his life, Li Ang went straight to the Kambi Building.
Located on the southern waterfront of Watson District, the mansion is the most exclusive hotel in Night City, the property of Arasaka Corporation, and is staffed by hundreds of highly trained service personnel to provide the most expensive services to its guests.
In fact, Arasaka Company has a mature talent selection and training system, and it is rarely recruited from the society under normal circumstances, but the night shift security guard is a position with less money and more things, and it is easy to take the blame, and the insiders really can't look down on it, not to mention that it is still a temporary worker, so it is cheap for Li Ang to be a group of social idlers.
At around 9:10 a.m. Night City time, Leon arrived at the southern waterfront of Watson District.
In addition to the Cambi Tower, there is also a very important port where hundreds of freighters travel to and fro, and in order to maintain the stability of the supply chain, Arasaka has built high walls and checkpoints to physically separate the waterfront from the outlaw-infested Watson district.
Li Ang, who did not have the right to enter, was naturally stopped outside a checkpoint by a company with a car.
The heavily armed security boss stepped forward and tapped the car door: "Drive this broken car away, little bunny, this is not the place for people like you." β
Li Ang rolled down the window, took out his mobile phone, and displayed the email on it: "Sir, I'm here for an interview." β
"Interview?" The security boss put on a stinky face: "Why didn't I get the message?" β
"Going to slip under my nose? There are no doors! β
Li Ang could tell from the playful eyes of the other security guards that the person in front of him was deliberately embarrassing himself.
He quietly stuffed a few banknotes to the other party: "Sir, are you sure you haven't received it?" β
The experienced security leader blocked the surveillance probe on the high wall behind him, and then twisted the money in his hand to feel the thickness:
"It seems to be a little impressive, but I really can't remember clearly, why don't you remind me a few more words?"
It turned out to be too little.
Li Ang simply stuffed him with a stack, not to mention thousands of pieces.
"Brothers, hard work, I invite everyone to go to the bar for a few drinks after work, sir, don't shirk."
Don't look at these Arasaka security guards, there are usually five or six people, showing off their might, they are actually at the bottom of the company's sequence, they can't make much money every month, and a few thousand yuan is enough for them to be chic for a while.
The security boss who saw Qian Yi's eyes suddenly changed to a smiling face: "You said that earlier, I remembered, interview, right?" I remember the one over there in the Kambi Building! β
"Brothers, let go!"
When it was over, he kindly asked, "Do you know the way?" If you don't know me, I'll find someone to take you. β
Li Ang smiled hypocritically: "No, no, how dare you bother the chiefs to lead the way, I'll just go by myself." β
"Still. I do have something I want to ask the chief for help. β
"Doing things," the security boss changed his face again: "Let's talk about what to see first." β
Li Ang took out a few hundred-dollar bills again and stuffed them: "I just want you to stick to your post, if you meet someone like me who comes for an interview again, you have to check it well, don't let some indiscriminate scammers get in." β
"This kind of trivial thing shouldn't be considered a violation of the rules, right?"
Being able to be a small boss shows that this security guard is definitely not stupid, and of course he understands what he means.
Isn't it just to stop the interviewers from the future?
"It's a small thing, yes."
Li Ang thought to himself, you are really greedy, and you are not afraid of dying.
"Sir, that's all my savings just now, so let's wait for my successful interview, and I will take out my salary every month in the future to honor your elder."
When the security leader heard that there was such a good thing, his eyes lit up instantly.
I was going to make a fortune and stop it, but now I have a long-term meal ticket, and it's a fool not to agree!
"It's easy to say, it's on me!"
"Then I'll trouble you, sir, see you later!" Leon smiled goodbye to the security guards and started the car to drive past the unobstructed checkpoint.
Is his money so easy to take? I'm afraid that I have a life to take it, but I don't have a life to spend it.
Continue along the wide asphalt road, and soon the towering blue buildings come into view.
However, just then, a small patrol drone flew towards him and emitted an emotionless intelligent voice.
"Night City resident Li Ang, SID chip number 28XXXXXXX, you have arrived at the control area, please follow the instructions of the management regulation No. 13095 to drive the vehicle to the specified location, thank you for your cooperation."
A car of Columbus's level is not qualified to drive directly to the Cambi Building.
It is easy to affect the reputation of the hotel.
It's obvious snobbery, but it's a trivial thing in the fucking Night City.
There was no need for Leon to compete with a machine, so he parked the truck in the designated parking lot according to the voice instructions, and then walked into the Kambi Building.
After layers of security checks and scans, I came to the front desk.
Dressed in a purple protocol uniform, the golden-skinned front desk lady bowed to him politely ninety degrees.
"Hello guest, welcome to Cambi Mansion, how can I help you?"
Hearing that Li Ang was just here for an interview, not a guest staying at the hotel, he didn't show any other emotions, and still maintained a super high level of professionalism.
It can only be said that it is worthy of the faΓ§ade cultivated by Arasaka Company at a great price.
"Please wait a minute, and we'll notify the relevant people for you."
Li Ang looked like a countryman who had never seen the market: "Then can you look around, I still come to such a luxurious place once?" β
The front desk lady smiled and said, "Of course, it's your freedom." β
Leon was allowed to wander around because the really important areas were only accessible to staff ID or check-in guests, and the only places he could set foot in were the lobby on the first floor and the bar lounge next to it, so he didn't have to worry about anything going wrong.
And Li Ang has no idea of making trouble for the time being, just hanging out.
While admiring the hotel's unique dΓ©cor, I strolled around with my hands behind my back, and after a while, I moved to the bar area.
"Welcome to the Kambi Mansion!"
Leon nodded in response to the waiter's greeting, casually glancing towards the bar.
Then I found something interesting.
In the deepest part of the bar, three men and one woman were sitting on the sofa chatting, and he walked straight over.
The leader is a bearded man wearing round glasses, and his expression is very relaxed: "The biggest problem with Mewtwo is its expression limitations, and the shooting is too simple. β
"Laughter means joy, horror means fear, romance means love and passion."
"But it's a lot more complicated than that, and my R&D team in Tokyo is trying to overcome it."
"I want my work to reflect real and raw human emotions."
β.β
Li Ang listened for a while, and then took the initiative to ask: "Sorry to interrupt, are you Mr. Hideo Kojima?" β
The bearded man looked up at the stranger in front of him: "It's me, you are?" β
Li Ang immediately replied: "I am a fan of Mr. Kojima, and I like the game you made very much, but unfortunately I didn't bring pen and paper today, otherwise I must ask you to help sign it." β
Kojima's response was not enthusiastic: "Game? I've long since stopped making that kind of thing. β
"Now that I'm a director of Mewtwo, have you ever heard of my work?"
"Uh" Li Ang scratched his cheek, "No." β
"Then we shouldn't have much to talk about." Kojima picked up the wine glass on the table, which meant to send off a guest.
"Alas, wait."
A few seconds later, he suddenly stopped Li Ang, who was about to leave, and said to the people next to him:
"Go to the front desk and ask for a pen and paper."
When the pen and paper were returned, Kojima not only signed his name, but also wrote the names of several Mewtwo films.
"Let's go back and find out, and if we have the opportunity to meet again, I'd like to hear your opinion."
Leon originally just had the attitude of giving it a try, but he actually asked for an autograph, which was indeed a surprise as a game enthusiast.
"Thank you, Mr. Kojima, I'll take a closer look when I get back."
Kojima saw that he had a real look in him, and that he hadn't met a fan of the game in a while, so he rummaged through his body for a long time, and finally found a keychain that said [PORTER] written on it.
"The little peripherals of my game, it's useless to put them here for me, so I'll give them to you."
After doing this, he continued to make small talk with his friends.
Seeing this, Leon left with a sense of interest, checking the keychain in his hand as he walked.
