Chapter 85: More Love (Fourth Watch)
The bartender was a slightly chubby, middle-aged woman – or to put it another way, a strong, middle-aged woman.
Her name is Claire, and she's an old bartender who is interested in newcomers.
Jack rubbed his hands: "Twice the old-fashioned tequila, with some beer and peppers." ”
Claire immediately showed a "I understand" expression: "Twice Johnny's silver hand, here it is." ”
"That's right, Chica."
"Looks like someone has done their homework - but there are three of you here, what do you order?"
As soon as Lille opened his mouth, V smiled evilly and said, "There is someone who is underage and can't drink alcohol - well, no kidding, he's a weak chicken, he's in poor health and can't drink." ”
"Poor health?" Claire became more and more surprised - she was in poor health and ran out to be a mercenary?
Even hackers have to be in good health.
"Beyond the limit, you know, beyond the limit is my life credo." Lille shrugged helplessly: "Let's have some water, let's have some carbonated drinks." ”
"Although carbonated drinks are on the menu, not many people order them, and Ling Ke is really a rare person."
V and Jack nodded approvingly.
Such people are indeed rare.
Wine and carbonated drinks were served, and Jack rubbed his hands and kept looking at everything around him.
Eventually, through manic souls and rough flesh, Jack set his sights on the "Johnny Silver Hand" in front of him.
It's time to raise a glass.
The three of them raised their glasses in unison, and Jack said excitedly, "The legend of Night City!" ”
"The Legend of Night City!"
The saga of Night City.
After the carbonated drink, Lille looked at the menu on the table and sighed: "The price of becoming a legend is not small. ”
V suddenly remembered what Lille had said when he was fooling him around in Atlanta:
"But someone said that there are people in this world who can kill through the Arasaka Tower with a basic prosthetic body and shine as bright as the sun - is there such a legend here?"
Claire thought for a moment and said, "If the basic prosthetic body kills through the Arasaka Tower, there is one, Morgan's Black Hand, it is said that when he went to the Arasaka Tower, he only installed an anodized black chrome cyber prosthetic.
If it's the same as the sun, it's the Arasaka Tower nuclear explosion.
It's a pity that the protagonist involved is either missing or dead - and not alone, and there are quite a few theories. ”
"So. Someone lied to me again? V looked at Lille with ill will.
Lille gave him an angry look: "This is for the spur and expectation of the father, do you understand? Oops, no! ”
V's big hand snapped on the back of Lille's neck.
Claire smiled, "The three of you are really interesting. ”
Jack smiled too, and then said as if he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, my name is Jack Wells, do you want to keep a recipe for me?" ”
"Uh-huh."
Claire gave Jack a meaningful look.
With his mind full of the legendary Heywood Kid, he probably didn't realize what a heavy thing it was.
Lille also suddenly said: "Jack - I know you want to be a legend, but don't do stupid things with this thought, that's the stupidest way to die." ”
Jack opened his mouth, and suddenly remembered his mother, Mrs. Wells.
Also, he asked Misty out on a date - what if he died?
The topic suddenly became heavy.
"Don't worry, Lille is talking about this at this time, it's too disappointing."
Lille shrugged: "If you think I'm ruining my interest, it means that one day if you die, you will have a lot of regrets."
I just wanted to tell you, don't start regretting it after you die – because you can't regret it after you die.
It's just that decide how you want to live your life. ”
Jack paused for a moment, and a lot of unfinished business came to his mind.
If you think about the glory of death every day because of your own selfish thoughts, it will be glorious to die, but what is the meaning?
Thinking of this, Jack suddenly calmed down, and his head was not as hot as he had just entered the door.
"You're right, I'm dizzy – but the recipe has to be kept, or I'll always feel itchy."
Claire nodded, motioning for Jack to get started.
"A vodka with ice, lime juice, ginger beer, and most importantly – a little more love."
Jack finished his recipe with a smile, and deliberately extended the end note.
A little more love - to be a big man is the best way he can think of to make his love weighty.
"Ha, I'll remember." Claire looked at the other two again, "What about you?" ”
V made a fuss - she knew how to make a fart bartending.
Lille saw V's embarrassment at a glance, and in order to counter her previous sarcasm, he immediately said, "I know!
She's good for Ol-2 to give the implant energy – oh yes, and most importantly, some synthetic prosthetic lube! ”
Yes?
Claire was stunned, V's eyes closed, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
"Riel"
"Haha, I'm kidding." Lille quietly moved his seat away from V.
But in the next second, V instantly appeared behind Lille--
Sanneweistein, boy!
Just when Lille was about to be sanctioned by V Justice, a black buddy in a black jacket and black sunglasses approached the two.
V stopped what he was doing and looked at the big man next to him with an unhappy expression:
"What do you want to do?"
The black buddy pointed to the box not far away, where sat a man with short white hair and a red suit, his right eye was very distinctive.
To be precise, it was his original right eye that had three eyes in place, which was obviously a compound eye system.
Lille immediately recognized this guy - Saint-Domingo's most powerful middleman right now, Faraday.
In front of him sat a group of people, one of whom was very large and looked a little bigger than Jack--
However, at first glance, it is the kind of expansion of the implant.
Judging by the atmosphere, they didn't talk very well.
Lille sent a message to the two of them.
Lille: "It's alive, but everything listens to me, this man doesn't look like a good person." ”
Ten minutes earlier, Faraday had already been talking about business in the afterlife.
Arasaka gave him a long-term commission, which had been in place for a long time, but had been slow.
Agent Arasaka believes that military technology and biotechnology have reached a long-term research program, which is taking place in Night City, but Arasaka himself knows little about this project.
As an old rival of military technology, Arasaka's top brass believes that this kind of ignorance is unacceptable.
The so-called business war, equity changes, and hostile takeovers are all at the end of the business war.
It's not uncommon for real business battles to be fought with real knives and guns, especially since this is Night City.
Arasaka wanted the details of Faraday's plan to investigate biotechnology, but there were not many who were willing to accept this commission, and Faraday was not comfortable handing it over to them.
Faraday was afraid of a head-on confrontation with the company - because his ultimate goal was to climb into the company and become a man.
If the relationship with the company deteriorates because of the lack of good selection, the gains outweigh the losses.
The big man in front of him is Santo Domingo's big brother, Mann.
"We've got new hackers to continue investigating biotechnology!"
"Mann, I understand that you want to get revenge, but it's up to me."
Faraday crossed his chin with his hands: "Your new hacker hasn't been verified yet, but your last action was your last time, and your hacker caused me a lot of trouble."
Finally - I call the shots, you obey orders, that's the rule, isn't it? ”
Mann gritted his teeth, but his tone softened.
"Hey, you're right."
"That's good, wait, I'm going to let the newcomers in."
At the door of the box, the black guy in black leather nodded to Faraday.
Lille appeared in the doorway.
"The hottest Burger King buys and sells stupid bigwigs"
Before Faraday finished his first sentence, the expressions of the three people on Lille's side were already a little solemn.
What a broken name.
