Cyberpunk: 2075

"Yo, David."

At the door of David's class, Gaius greeted David as he walked out of the classroom after class.

"Gaius..."

The moment he saw Gaius, the scene he saw in Mewtwo last night flashed through David's mind. It must be said that the impact was quite strong.

"How's the goods I asked for?"

"I can bring it to you tomorrow, but we have to make an appointment in advance and bring it directly to the school..."

"It's okay, I understand."

Gaius looked at the other students who were about to walk out, and pointed to a place where there were not many students: "Let's chat over there?"

"Well, after David followed Gaius to the place he pointed to, he couldn't help but said: "Did you solve a cyberpsychosis yesterday? "

"Cyberpsychosis...did the news spread so quickly?"

Gaius glanced at David in surprise: "I remember on the news broadcast, the official title was NCPD

Someone took care of it. How did you know it was me? "

"that....""

David said a little embarrassedly: "That Lieutenant James Norris has the recording software that comes with the military prosthesis. A Mewtwo editor produced it within two hours after you solved him. The related Mewtwo was released, and because it was new, I tried it out.”

"Mewtwo Editor, within two hours...'

Gaius suddenly seemed to realize something: "It can't be from the cyberpsychosis series, right?"

"Yes, that's the editor named JK..."

"As expected, it's that bastard guy. I still have a debt to settle with him."

"A bill?"

Seeing David's puzzled look, Gaius did not take the initiative to reveal that he was being recorded as a cyberpsycho. He pointed at the teaching equipment worn next to David's face and abruptly changed the subject:

"Speaking of which, your device is different from when I saw it yesterday. Did you replace it with another one?"

"I upgraded it in the morning and spent a thousand euros. Oh, don't worry, I spent the extra money to upgrade the equipment after I had already purchased the quantity of Mewtwo you requested. The quantity and quality are definitely enough. "

Seeing David looking a little uneasy as he realized something in the middle of speaking, Gaius waved his hand indifferently:

"It's okay, I don't care about this. Anyway, as long as you buy enough quantity to make me famous, it will be fine. As I said before, all the money earned from this sale will belong to you. If you don't buy enough, It’s just that you earn less. In terms of spending money, what’s given to you is yours. You don’t have to tell me how you spend it.”

After saying this, Gaius looked at the time and found that there were still fifteen minutes left in the break. Because of his personal acquaintance, he came to see David after the second class, and the entire morning There were only three classes, and there was a lunch break after the three classes. Gaius had no intention of staying at Arasaka Academy during the lunch period.

Not to mention, Arasaka Academy’s indulgent attitude toward people who don’t want to be involved in involution is the easiest school Gaius has ever attended. But in other words, without paying the money, even if you want to be involved in involution, there is no place to do so. , can only accept such indulgence.

"Speaking of which, are your grades good?"

Gaius had investigated David's family situation, so he understood that he was the kind of person who couldn't afford to get involved.

He was a little curious about what David, who came from such a family, would do if he couldn't get involved.

"score?"

I don't quite understand why Gaius suddenly asked this, but David was still quite honest in his answer: "In the last test, I only ranked tenth in the school."

Under the circumstances where the internal examinations are endless and almost all the children of the rich and powerful have tutors, how can they get to the tenth place in the school just by relying on the weak content in class?

"Only ranked tenth?"

"That's right."

David was a little confused. He didn't know why Gaius showed such an expression of disbelief.

He continued: "I used to be able to maintain seventh or eighth place, but my recent results have dropped a lot.

I could only get to tenth place. "

"you...."

Staring at David with the punk hair, Gaius suddenly realized that David was actually a good student.

He could get into the top ten just by relying on that little class content. If there was really a chance of involution, Gaius couldn't even imagine what David's ranking would be in Arasaka Academy.

"With your grades, doesn't Arasaka College have any scholarships? I heard that schools run by Ye's company all have scholarships?"

"There are some, but those are large scholarships only for university departments. We are a middle school department, and the scholarships given out are generally just for encouragement. They are given out once a semester, and they cost 300 euros each time. I save myself a little more. For emergency use,

It can also be used for one or two months. "

"Three hundred euros, a month or two?"

"For the subway, my mother helped me recharge the money. When I eat, I go to the cafeteria and use the recharged meal card. The college's cafeteria has subsidies. Although the cheap ones don't taste very good, one euro can buy a piece of bread. Sometimes If I'm lucky, I can buy some pork floss bread which is due soon for 1.5 euros. It's enough for one meal. I'll go home for dinner."

"So these three hundred euros are really for emergencies...Don't you usually buy drinks, snacks or anything like that?"

"I buy myself one every week. I like to buy the fat chicken wings from the Feifei restaurant. I can buy a large golden and crispy chicken wing dripping with oil for 4 euros. I will eat the wing tip on the spot, and then save the wing root to heat in the microwave at night. My mother likes to eat the middle of the wing the most, so I will leave a wing on the table for her."

Listening to David's overly bitter story, Gaius remembered when he asked Jack to catch David.

Jack described in the communication that when David spent money to buy drinks, he pretended to be careless and bought a 5-euro disposable pistol.

At that time, this kid's heart must have been bleeding.

Looking at this young man whose eyes seemed to sparkle when he mentioned the synthetic grilled chicken wings that he would definitely dislike, Gaius could only reach out and pat his shoulder in the end:

"Do a good job. As long as we make all the boys in the academy understand that they should come to me to buy Mewtwo, we can start to try to develop the female side. By then, the money we earn will be enough for you to have endless chicken wings every day. By then, your mother won't have to work hard, and you can pay the tuition by yourself."

Is this considered as the boss's empty promise?

Looking at the expectant eyes of the innocent David, Gaius inexplicably felt an unspeakable sense of shame in his heart.

God, why do the guys in this academy, one or two of whom he knows, blame the innocence? This makes me, who has been in Night City for a long time, completely unable to bear it.

Fortunately, the impression left by Gaius that the people of Arasaka Academy are all innocent did not last long.

Because some students came to cause trouble.

To be precise, they were looking for trouble with David, and Gaius was just a by-product.

"Poor people and street thugs really fit together, don't you think, David?"

Listening to the mocking voice of the student approaching, Gaius breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it is better not to leave a good impression on Arasaka Academy.

Finally, he came, a typical rich kid who looked down on the poor and street people.

If he didn't come again, I would have doubted the composition of the students of Arasaka Academy.
