Cyberpunk: 2075

"Well, I got kicked as expected."

On the second day after traveling, Karl woke up in a hotel in Watson District and received a communication from Oliver who had rushed back to Santo Domingo last night.

"What do you mean?"

After washing his face and looking at the young face in the mirror, Karl replied.

"What else can I do? It's true that I can't go back to Santo Domingo in the future. I think I've been kicked out. I'll be in the Watson area soon. Let's meet at the restaurant in front of the hotel. You order first. I want a steak for ten euros. "

"You really know how to eat."

There was no toothbrush or toothpaste, so he put his fingers into his mouth and mixed it with water and rubbed it a few times. After brushing his teeth, Karl rinsed his mouth again and decided that he must rent a decent apartment in the future. This hotel was really not good.

After walking out of the room, because the room fee had been paid last night, Carl walked all the way to the restaurant directly across the road from the hotel. When he crossed the road, he was almost hit by a rickety car, but Carl had a good mental quality. , without drawing his gun and giving the driver a few sober pellets to eat.

After all, this is not Gotham, so there is no need to be so conservative.

After ordering steak for Oliver and another Chinese cold noodles for himself, Karl, who felt that it might take him longer to adapt to insect meat than to mercenaries, bought himself a bottle of drink before the food was served.

Yesterday, Little Coke drank Carl's teeth, so he changed to a different kind of Coke today. This Coke is called Siris Classic Coke. Judging from the packaging, it smells like America. It has a red and white striped packaging with stars on a blue background. , too liberal and patriotic.

Then he took a sip, and Carl's eyes lit up. He had to admit that Siris Cola tasted better than Little Cocoa. Sure enough, he had to drink America Cola in America.

"Oh, you're drinking Searis Coke, I like that too."

When Carl was tasting the taste of the Coke, Oliver had already arrived. He naturally sat next to Carl. He also bought a bottle of Siris Coke from the vending machine next to the table and drank it. While drinking, he kept talking. : "There is a strange saying among us in the Sixth Street Gang. It is said that Searis Coke is the patriotic cola. Drinking any other cola is offensive. Even if you don't drink Searose Coke, when you pass by You have to hold other drinks and salute it.”

"What kind of drink is America?"

Carl complained, feeling that the patriotic marketing of Siris Cola was really successful, but he remembered that Night City is not an independent city, and it is still so patriotic even though it is not under management... Oh, the Sixth Street Gang is America Veterans have established it, so that’s okay.

"What do you say today? Is there any way to contact the middleman?"

"No."

Oliver naturally spread his hands, but still gave an idea: "But dad said, if you want to do it, do it hard, don't always give up halfway, and gave me a suggestion, saying that I can go to the Wild Wolf in Heywood Take a look at the bar, there are often people recruiting people to work there, maybe we can get some tasks. "

[Haywood]: Haywood is a neighborhood with a clear gap between rich and poor. There is a huge difference between the park buildings in the north and the vicious and dangerous slums in the south. However, its unique and clear charm can always attract you everywhere.

NCPD hazard level evaluation: Partially hazardous.

What flashed through my mind along with this information was the information about the current Haywood gang.

[Valentino Gang]: They control an area dominated by Latinos. They adhere to values ​​such as honor, justice, and brotherhood, and are willing to pay any price to defend them. The friendship of the Valentino Gang is priceless. They will follow you to your grave, so think carefully before getting involved with them.

The food arrived.

"I remember that the Valentino Gang is not at odds with the Sixth Street Gang. Is it okay for you and me to go to the Valentino Gang's territory?"

"What's the problem, Chewchew? Anyway, I'm not a member of the Sixth Street Gang anymore, and privately, many of us in the Sixth Street Gang have very good relations with the Valentino Gang, so we can live with it in terms of face." Come on, chew, this steak is really delicious, juicy and meaty.”

Seeing Oliver chewing and talking, the juices from the steak splattering in his mouth, Carl instinctively had to hide behind him. He must say that when he saw Oliver chewing the steak and the juices came out, he felt like he had bitten an insect and exploded with juice. , overall this vision is quite exciting.

"Since that's okay, let's go there after dinner. How are we going to get there? Can we take the subway?"

Karl still remembered that the information he saw at the beginning said that there was a subway in Night City.

"Don't bother me. I drove here this time, and all my belongings are on it."

Oliver said, pointing his fork at a black car parked outside the restaurant window.

"Quartz EC-L R275, my sister gave it to me as a 20th birthday gift. It's affordable, strong and durable. Just come with me in my car later. I still know some of the Heywood Road."

After speaking, the talkative Oliver added: "This is a two-seater car. I have only let my ex-girlfriend ride in it before. You are the first of the same sex."

"Then I have to thank you."

Karl didn’t know much about cars of this era and didn’t complain too much. He quickly finished his portion of cold noodles and felt a little tired of eating them. This noodles was really delicious because of the wheat, but he didn’t count the noodles from last night. I have eaten three meals in a row, and I don’t feel like eating again.

"Oh, speaking of thank you, you might actually have to thank me."

Oliver suddenly remembered something when he heard Carl's words and said, "I put two Norkota D 5 Copperhead kinetic assault rifles in the trunk of the car to ensure that we have enough guns to take on the task when we need to engage in intense firefights."

[Norkota D 5 Copperhead]: If the most popular assault rifle in the 20th century was the AK-47, then the world today is the Copperhead. The reliable, powerful, and cheap weapons from Norkota Manufacturing Company are the most trustworthy ones around you.

Assault rifle?

"The recoil of the assault rifle may make me unable to hold the gun down by then."

"Then why don't I just raise it to my head and shoot at will?"

Oliver took the last bite of steak.

"What do you mean KK, let's go?"

"Of course, let's go, Oliver."
