Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

"It hasn't rained for a long time."

In the evening, it was rainy.

Tang Yu looked at the rain outside the subway car. There were still tiny drops of water on his black hair on his forehead, and his shoulders were soaked by the rain.

In the distance, the sky and the sea were covered in large patches of gray, and even the sea breeze suddenly became bleak.

The flashing neon lights of Night City were diluted by layers of rain, and the holographic projection became increasingly illusory. The entire coastal city entered a world of rain.

The reason why he got off work at this time was because Tang Yu returned to Arasaka Tower in the afternoon, made a special trip to the Special Operations Department, handed over the task reimbursement matter, left it to the front desk for processing, and then left.

The Special Operations Department has been quite quiet recently. Susan Abernathy is suspended with pay and can only remotely control the operation of the Special Operations Department for the time being. In addition, there have been no major operations recently, so it is rare for them to relax for a while.

Tang Yu was too lazy to care about them. Whether he could catch the fish or not had nothing to do with him. Even if he poked trouble, it would not be his fault.

Tang Yu was still very self-aware of the weight of the deputy director of the Special Operations Department. He didn't think that he could really pull a stick and pull a group of people against her in Susan Abernathy's lair.

so.

He could just reimburse himself from the Special Operations Department. The two missions totaled 350,000 euros, which was really not much for a large department like the Special Operations Department.

The first 50,000 euros was related to the investigation of Tanaka's stolen vehicle. The wreckage of the car was in the small square. He had asked Gloria to meet Mann and find someone from the Counterintelligence Department to tow the car back.

As for the investigation results, according to the actual situation, Military Technology targeted Tanaka, the director of the R\u0026D Department, and arranged for an intermediary to steal his vehicle navigation data to obtain more intelligence about Tanaka.

This mission has been concluded, and all that is left is Tanaka seeking happiness for himself. It is Tanaka who is targeted by military technology, and he also has nothing to do with Tang Yu.

The second reimbursement was for an errand assigned by Michiko Xiao. Regarding the task of exposing the transaction between military technology and NCPD, the reimbursement was 300,000 euros.

Because it was a private job, it received mixed reviews from the board of directors. It had neither merit nor fault, and there was no apparent bonus or reuse.

Little Michiko assigned him a special assistant, probably for this reason, so she could only comfort him privately.

Tang Yu still had to be criticized by the board of directors for his work. Fortunately, Michiko did not agree to deal with him, otherwise he might have become a single deputy minister after he had just been a double deputy minister.

I had to accept Xiao Michiko's method of winning people's hearts. She did not fight with other members of the board of directors for Tang Yu's credit, but also made Tang Yu understand who were the enemies and allies among the top directors.

In addition, a beautiful cat girl like Sasha is arranged to accompany her as a special assistant. If the other party is more tender, I am afraid that she will not be able to control herself and will burst into tears of gratitude to little Michiko.

Tang Yu didn't care too much. The actual expenses were probably around 250,000, and getting 350,000 would be considered some compensation.

In addition, he has inquired about human resources and finance. As dual ministers of different departments, he can only receive one salary and performance, and bonuses are paid based on the actual situation of the task.

The salary performance of the deputy director of the Special Operations Department is higher than that of the Counterintelligence Department, so Tang Yu naturally chose the higher one.

Therefore, a strange phenomenon formed. Tang Yu had been working in the Counterintelligence Department, but the Special Operations Department was responsible for salary and performance.

Tang Yu could only receive one salary, which somewhat gave Tang Yu a toothache.

It's a typical case of unequal pay for equal work, but this is Night City, a world ruled by capital. No matter how dissatisfied he is, he can only follow the rules.

If you get one salary, why do you have to do two jobs?

Tang Yu can also fish with peace of mind.

Tang Yu misses him a little since he hasn't seen Diamond Prince Arthur Jenkins these days, and the counter-intelligence department is still worried.

Fortunately, he is only responsible for some daily affairs, and as for troublesome matters, he can deal with them with just one sentence.

"I will pass this on to Mr. Jenkins."

The train moved slowly and arrived at the station soon.

Tang Yu walked out of the public transportation station and looked up to see that the sky was still gray. The raindrops were falling and splashing on the road. Pedestrians passing by made splashes of water.

Little Chinatown is still as lively as ever, with shops of all sizes on the streets and neon advertising signs all over the streets and alleys.

Pedestrians coming and going crowd around, holding fluorescent umbrellas, and the neon world of light and rain is colorful and dazzling.

At first glance, it has a special sci-fi aesthetic.

On the sidewalk, those without umbrellas had no choice but to cover their heads and run wildly, not caring about the splashing water affecting pedestrians around them.

On the main road, there is a lot of traffic, lights and shadows are flowing, and the motorcades are slowly crisscrossing in parallel, and horns and flashes are heard from time to time.

Only the floating traffic above our heads, unaffected by traffic jams, quickly shuttles between high-rise buildings.

Tang Yu saw that the rain was obviously much heavier than before. When he first entered the public transportation station, it was only drizzling, so he didn't care too much about holding an umbrella.

He put his hand into the rain curtain and tried to feel the rain.

The rain was indeed quite heavy. If I walked back without an umbrella, I would probably get wet all over.

Tang Yu inadvertently heard someone shouting.

“It’s raining, buy a transparent fluorescent umbrella, it’s safe and convenient!”

He turned his head and looked to the right. There happened to be a stall selling fluorescent umbrellas, and the boss was standing there shouting.

He got up and walked to the umbrella stall, planning to buy a fluorescent umbrella now and then walk back.

Just when he was about to pick up an umbrella, he noticed that an umbrella had been handed over to him.

Tang Yu looked sideways slightly and found that Sasha had been standing by the umbrella stall at some point and handed him the umbrella handle in her hand.

I didn't expect Sasha to be here. It seemed like he saw it raining outside and came to the public transportation station to pick him up.

Sasha seemed very happy to see Tang Yu, as if she was waiting for someone she wanted to wait for. She smiled and said, "Mr. Tang, this is the umbrella Sasha prepared for you."

Tang Yu felt a little surprised, took her umbrella, and touched Sasha's cat head.

"Let's go."

A glimmer of light flashed across Sasha's neon eyes, and then she followed Tang Yu's pace.

The two walked to the station entrance, each opened their umbrellas, and walked through the rain curtain.

The rainwater fell in a thin stream, and then flowed into the ditches and merged into the underground sewers, in an endless stream.

Tang Yu didn't say much, and Sasha just followed Tang Yu, silent as always, just maintaining his habitual polite smile.

The two of them shuttled through the streets, passing one street after another and passing one corner after another.

Sasha's bright blue eyes gradually showed doubts. She looked back and found that she was getting farther and farther away from home, and Tang Yu's high-end apartment had already passed by.

She felt a little strange. Seeing that Tang Yu continued to move forward without any intention of stopping, he probably had no intention of going home.

Sasha was a little curious and confused. He saw the raindrops soaking his black suit, and even the black hair on his forehead was soaked by the rain.

At this time, you shouldn't rush home to change clothes. You should soak comfortably in the 40 degree Celsius warm water and relax quietly.

After all, Mr. Tang is a native and is prone to getting wet and catching colds.

Sasha was trying to think about the reason why Mr. Tang didn't go home even though he got caught in the rain.

She couldn't help but think of the situation at home and the things she had prepared.

Mr. Tang's change of clothes today has been dried, folded and placed on the bathroom shelf.

Dinner has also been prepared and placed in an insulated box to prevent it from getting cold.

The most important thing is that the bathtub is filled with hot water. If you walk back now, the heat will just dissipate to a suitable temperature, which is the best time to take a bath.

Moreover, Mr. Tang also praised her good technique this morning. Wouldn't it be more relaxing to massage her temples while taking a warm bath?

Sasha thought for a long time with his head down. He wanted to remind Tang Yu that everything at home was ready, but seeing that he seemed to be busy with something important, he had no choice but to suppress his doubts and continue to follow.

Now she is more curious about where Tang Yu is going and what he is doing than going home.

The two of them walked along the streets and passed various shops.

Sasha is like a kitten exploring the human world for the first time. He is so fresh and curious about everything. Every time he sees something new, he will stop for a moment, as if comparing it with the knowledge he has learned.

Her neon pupils were swaying, reflecting everything she saw clearly, even the advertisements were read so carefully.

“Is this big talking burger really edible?”

"What a beautiful fluorescent dress!"

"It's big enough so you don't have to worry about it. It makes your curves more beautiful."

"Hmm.?"

Sasha looked at the female model in the advertisement, and then looked down at her own. She should be free of worries.

She was comparing seriously, and found that Tang Yu had gone away again, so she quickly chased after him with an umbrella.

The two of them walked together in tandem, walking on the bustling rainy night streets of Night City.

Every time Sasha fell a little behind, he would jog a few steps to keep up with Tang Yu's pace, but then he would be attracted by the new things around him, become fascinated, and forget to hurry.

After all, Tang Yu didn't talk to her or give any orders.

This was her first time going shopping, so she would inevitably be extremely curious.

Tang Yu, who was walking in front, also knew that Sasha was trying to adapt to the new world and absorb all the information sent to her around her.

Although Sasha's "factory" knowledge reserve has a large structure and rich content, it is ultimately rigid and mechanical. It is better to experience it in the real world.

Like she knows what rain looks like, the physical causes of rain, and the need for an umbrella when it rains.

But she may not quite understand that some people don’t hold umbrellas, don’t hide under the eaves, scream hoarse in the rain, and carry knives but not umbrellas on rainy nights.

These behaviors caused by human emotions require Sasha to slowly understand and feel.

Tang Yu noticed that Sasha was slower, so he would also slow down and wait for her to catch up.

Sasha looked at various products and advertisements behind her, and sometimes even people passing by would stare at them and scan them. These behaviors were somewhat rude, but pedestrians were in such a hurry that it was hard to notice, so no one said anything.

Sudden.

Sasha felt something strange. She hurriedly took out the pill bag she was carrying, poured a small white pill into the palm of her hand, and then swallowed it.

After a few breaths, it returned to normal.

This move was noticed by Tang Yu, but he didn't say anything and just continued walking forward.

The two of them turned a corner and then walked into a fairly spacious street where several custom shops were opened.

In the large glass window of the custom shop, the charming neon lights illuminate the enchanting dancing figures.

"Beauty, do you want to come in and play? I believe your curiosity will be satisfied."

The street dancer got closer to the glass window and whispered seductively.

Sasha stared more closely, also revealing more doubts, as if she didn't know why the other person was twisting around in the glass window, and what the words he said meant. It seemed that he had turned on the intimacy mode.

"Sasha wants to know what the fun was about?"

The dancer was amused by Sasha's cuteness, but she didn't mean to look down on her at all. The advanced combat implant was beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, just like the original limbs of a human being. It was completely different from street dancers like them, and its origins were unknown. Simple.

The street dancer looked at Sasha and joked: "Of course it is the most classic G593 model* even chip. Customers have given it the nickname 'Sour Cool'. Of course we need to add some ingredients. How about a small one?" Sister, do you want to experience it?"

Sour?

Sasha figured it out for a while, turned his prosthetic eyes around, quickly found this behavioral chip, and carefully read the introduction.

It is considered to be one of the first batch of R\u0026D antiques. It has stopped updating and iterating. It was once really popular in Night City. Now it is almost so cheap that you can see it at street vendors. You don’t even have to pay for it, as long as you are willing to go to the stall with it. Behind the alley, you can get it after completing a single payment.

Although this classic behavioral chip that was once popular in the streets has been completely eliminated by the times, it still exerts its residual heat to help dancers living on the streets make a living.

Sasha thought for a while and noticed that Tang Yu had walked into a small house. He quickly thanked the other party and hurriedly chased after him.

She followed Tang Yu's figure and walked to a divination and psychic house.

Sasha stood at the door of the store, raised his head curiously, looked at the name of the store, and murmured.

"Misty's Secret."

"What are you doing here?"

Sasha also put away her umbrella and put it outside the door, then opened the glass door of the cabin and walked in. As soon as she entered, she felt that the whole room was filled with a mysterious atmosphere.

The furnishings in the house are unique, with four-armed statues, skulls with incantations, divination tarots, etc., which are all very impressive.

Sasha followed Tang Yu obediently, and then secretly glanced at Misty at the counter.

Huh?

He is actually the same original person as Mr. Tang, so he should be Mr. Tang's good friend.

But her eyes seemed to have the power to see through people's hearts, which made Sasha feel palpitations.

After Misty greeted Tang Yu, she told him that Lao Wei was in the basement clinic, and then she noticed Sasha behind him, with a look of surprise in her eyes.

Tang Yu saw that Misty seemed to have discovered something, which was also one of the purposes of bringing Sasha here.

Misty possesses the purest spiritual intuition of mankind and may be able to discover some clues about Sasha.

There was a moment of silence.

Misty's gentle eyes moved away from Sasha, then she gently picked up the deck of tarot cards on the table, and said softly after washing them.

"Would you like to try drawing one?"

Sasha was stunned. Misty was obviously asking herself. She hesitated and quickly asked Tang Yu for help with her eyes.

Tang Yu nodded slightly and also encouraged her and said: "Pick one. I have also done fortune-telling here in Misty."

After listening to Tang Yu's words, Sasha felt relieved and no longer hesitated in her eyes. She took the initiative to walk to the counter and stared curiously at the tarot cards on the table.

This was the first time Sasha had drawn tarot cards. She picked up the first tarot card on the deck without hesitation.

Uncover the tarot cards and place them on the table.

The Hanged Man?

A man's hands and feet were tied and hung upside down from a tree, with a burning light shining around his head.

When Sasha saw this kind of tarot card, his prosthetic eyes turned, and he began to search and browse related information about the Hanged Man.

However, Misty took the initiative to hold Sasha's slender palm, looked into her eyes, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, observe while being restrained, contribute through sacrifice, and survive in difficult situations."

Sasha also looked at Misty. When their eyes met, she felt a little nervous and didn't quite understand Misty's words.

Tang Yu was thoughtful on the side, Misty's words seemed to have another meaning, and they were not meant for Sasha in front of him.

Perhaps as he had guessed, the story behind Sasha was by no means as simple as Michiko said.

After Misty finished speaking, she let go of Sasha's hands, smiled and said, "You are very cute."

After hearing Misty's compliment, Sasha smiled slightly and thanked her, acting very politely.

Tang Yu took the initiative to introduce.

"Misty, this is Sasha, corporate assistant."

"Sasha, this is Misty, my good brother Jack's fiancée."

Sasha and Misty looked at Tang Yu at the same time, with strange expressions on their faces, as if they were not satisfied with his introduction.

Tang Yu was stunned for a while, but didn't think there was anything wrong with his statement, so he made an excuse and said, "Misty, I'm going to find Lao Wei."

He left the counter and headed for the back door.

Sasha nodded slightly to Misty, and quickly followed Tang Yu's pace, walking to the basement clinic together.

Tang Yu came to Lao Wei's prosthetic clinic, opened the iron gate directly, and saw Lao Wei watching the boxing match as always.

"Lao Wei, how are you doing lately? Is business okay?"

Lao Wei turned his head and realized that Tang Yu was coming, and said with a smile.

"It's a rainy day. What kind of wind brought you here today?"

Lao Wei sat on the sliding stool, turned to Tang Yu, and also saw Sasha behind him.

"Business is just like that, tepid, but you, are you still safe in Arasaka?"

Tang Yu said with a smile: "It's just so so. One salary can do the work of two people, but there is no other way. Those who can work harder."

Lao Wei realized there was something in his words, and laughed with a magnetic voice: "It seems that you are doing well. You have two jobs. It is normal to be under a lot of pressure."

"I heard from Jack that you had headaches and vomiting. Are you feeling better now?"

Tang Yu nodded. He was nervous and tired while out in the field. In addition, he was assassinated and attacked just after returning to Night City, so he felt a little unwell.

"Well, I'm getting better now. I'm here to ask you a favor today. It's very important."

Lao Wei glanced behind Tang Yu. Sasha was looking at the two of them curiously. He seemed to have realized something, so he readily agreed.

"No problem, come with me."

Instant Noodles: "Thank you to Mr. Ye Yiyin for the huge reward. I would like to thank you for the instant noodles. Johnny is not here to give it to me."

Johnny: "Ye Yiyin, before you leave, can we have a chat? Just you and me."

V: "Shut your mouth."

Johnny: "I'm not trying to sell some stock to get more sponsorship for instant noodles! Look at how anxious you are."
