Cyberpunk: 2075

"You're back."

At seven o'clock in the morning, T-BUG sat on the sofa on the first floor, moved his eyes away from the night city scenery outside the window, and looked at Carl who had just walked out of the elevator: "Have you had breakfast, Carl?"

"No, how are you, T-BUG?"

"There is still some food in the refrigerator. It was made after Jack and the others came back. They hurriedly went to bed after eating."

"From what you said, Jack and the others came back quite late."

Carl, who had just stayed at his friend's house for a night, yawned: "It seems that the street racing race last night was , they tried all night. ”

“Almost. Oliver and Jack performed very well last night. They seemed to have taken third place in the trial run. He was not familiar with the rules, so he got this place. So he planned to go back and pull Jack to practice before participating in the official competition. ”

“Did Oliver take third place?”

Carl thought about Oliver’s driving skills: “It seems that many people from Santo Domingo participated.”

“You have too many stereotypes.”

T-BUG turned his head back without caring, and asked while looking at the morning scenery outside the window: “So, Carl, what did you do last night? "

"I went to my friend's house to eat snacks, and then I watched Mewtwo for half the night and fell asleep on the sofa among the sundries. Ten minutes ago, my friend had to go to work, so he took me back a way. That's about it."

"It sounds like your style, Carl. So is Mewtwo good?"

"It's really good. I looked through my friend's collection and there is a Mewtwo called "A Tour of Night City" that I like very much. It records Mewtwo during the Unification War. At that time, because of the news that the New United States was about to invade, the whole Night City was very nervous. And the recorder of Mewtwo roamed on the streets like this, and it felt like he was learning about history in person. "

"The type of Mewtwo you like is really special."

T-BUG yawned and said, "I've been busy all night, and seeing you come back one after another, I should go to bed. If there is work today, do it later, wait until I get up."

"Have a good rest."

Carl nodded, and after T-BUG got up and went back to the room to sleep, he opened the refrigerator and looked at the food made by Jack and Oliver.

It's called food, but it's actually simple corn flakes soaked in milk. Maybe because it was made in a hurry to cope with breakfast before going to bed, the ratio between milk and corn flakes is very strange, and because of the passage of time, the corn flakes have been completely full of milk, and they look like porridge at a glance.

Not disgusted, he picked it up and went to the kitchen to get a spoon, eating the porridge, after eating half a bowl, Carl recalled what happened last night, and suddenly realized something.

Didn't Blanca call him over last night because she wanted a safe and relaxing sleeping environment after working hard for a while?

Okay.

Carl had heard that some people were afraid to watch horror movies or videos alone, so they called their friends to watch them together, and then fell asleep next to their friends while watching the whole movie. Some people are just like this. Sleeping next to someone you trust seems to make people feel extra safe.

Thinking about "Night City Tour" that he watched last night, Carl continued to eat a bite of corn flakes.

This should be considered a way to rest in Night City, which is still tense and suffocating, as if it is moving forward all the time and can't stop for a moment, right?

"Ding."

When Carl finished eating the corn flakes soaked in milk, his peripheral vision noticed that the elevator on the floor was going up, and then it stopped and opened the door.

"V, you're back so late."

Speaking in a tone that was almost teasing, Carl looked at V, who was surprisingly energetic, and said, "You look energetic."

"I accompanied Panam back to Adecado last night and talked about some things. Since we didn't have much time, we stayed there all night and attended their bonfire party. Didn't I mention this in the team message? It's been a long time since I slept in a tent. I feel like I'm back in the past. Of course I feel energetic."

V patted his clothes:

"And when I was driving on the way back, I encountered a group of night wanderers who wanted to rob me. I killed them and went into the city. When I was about to reach Watson District, I encountered the Tiger Claw Gang fighting with the NCPD escorting prisoners. I helped the NCPD to deal with the Tiger Claw Gang who wanted to rob the prison;

When I was about to reach At the door of my house, I encountered the crazy Whirlpool Gang, which delayed me a little. I was sleeping well, but I was more energetic after three encounters in the morning. "

"You encountered them three times in the morning. Are you a trigger machine?"

Carl complained: "You don't run to join in the fun."

"That's impossible. I'm also very curious. Why did the incident happen on my way back? I saw it, so of course I solved it... But you know what, the combat capability of NCPD has been improved after Mr. Johnson left. The patrol and escort police officers have reached a whole new level. I watched them fight with the Tiger Claw Gang, and they could barely hold on and call for support. This is much better than the NCPD police officers who were solved as soon as they met in the previous records."

"It's just that Mr. Johnson's coming to power can't change the combat effectiveness so quickly. The weapons purchased and personnel training have just started. I heard from Andy that it was Mr. Johnson who adjusted the composition of patrol officers. Mr. Johnson has been a patrol officer for a long time. He knows that this job is thankless;

So he changed the relevant welfare system and gave them priority in distributing weapons. As a result, people with skills and abilities now all run to become patrol officers, and most of those who were excluded and became patrol officers have been transferred."

"It sounds like the city streets will be safer in the future."

V understood, and then looked at the empty bowl in front of Carl: "Breakfast?"

"It should be Jack's corn flakes with milk. I ate it all. If you want to eat, make it yourself."

"I had eaten when I came back from Adecado, but you had breakfast. Let's go out together later. Cormac called just now and gave me a job of transporting something. He said that there was something that needed to be transported from outside the city to the city. He has sent his mercenaries to meet it, and he wants us to go and help."

"Cormac..."

For such a middleman who paid well but whose street mercenaries were consumed like weeds, Carl actually had an ordinary impression of him. However, he did not have the same relationship with him as the dead Faraday. He just maintained a rather dull relationship between mercenaries and middlemen. His job...::

Carl thought of the conversation he had with the old captain a few days ago, and said, "Count me in."
