Start in Night City

Therefore, Su Xiao came to Lucy, hoping that Lucy could help remove this backdoor.

"This is simple. Give me half a day and I should be able to do it." Lucy put the Sian Westan on her arm like a coat. "But after the back door is cleared, what are you going to do with this?" Prosthetic body? Did you sell it?"

Lidya Su nodded noncommittally.

Although this "Sianwistan" is only an experimental product and not a stable model on the market, "Sianwistan" is still "Sianwistan" after all.

There will still be cyber mercenaries willing to pay for it.

After all, Su Xiao bought this thing from David for 200,000 yuan. He couldn't just throw it away in the warehouse to gather dust.

Money is not wasted like this.

He removed the backdoor on the prosthetic body, so no matter which company produced the "Sianwistan", it would be impossible to recover the prosthetic body.

In this way, he is not cheating others.

…

Arasaka Academy, Principal's Office.

The short principal's golden skin on the fingers of his hands shined under the neon light shining in from outside the office.

"Mr. Martinez, you are really embarrassing me."

David sat opposite the principal.

There were only two of them in the office.

David said sincerely: "I know, principal, so I came with the compensation. Please give me another chance."

"I don't think this is a matter of money. Although it does require a lot of money to repair the college system, Mr. Martinez, the college has given you a few days, but you missed this deadline, so the college has made a decision The decision was made to expel.”

"That's because my mother and I got into a car accident on the way back that day and stayed in the hospital for several days, so we didn't receive any text messages from the college."

"Is that so? That's a shame."

Although the principal sent greetings out of courtesy, there was no real regret on his face.

"Well, although I personally sympathize with your situation, the college has made a decision and cannot change it."

David couldn't help but said something back: "Aren't you the principal? Isn't it your decision to expel someone or not?"

The principal said slowly.

"Mr. Martinez, I need to point out that expelling a student is not a dictatorship on my part, but a unanimous decision by the school board after discussion."

"And, if I remember correctly, Mr. Martinez, don't you seem to be out of place in your class? You don't have many friends in the academy, do you?"

David frowned.

Logically speaking, as the principal of a school, he would not pay special attention to a certain person in the college.

Especially a mule and horse kneeling pawn like him who was born into a family of cattle and horses.

But the principal noticed that he was alone in the class and paid special attention to him.

This is definitely not a good thing.

"Does this have anything to do with the topic we are talking about now?"

"Of course it does matter. You can't fit in anyway. It's better to change the environment. It might be more beneficial to your learning and growth. What do you think?"

The principal smiled and refused David's request.

Chapter 269: Cherish the opportunity you have to show off now (3K)

V stood in the corridor outside the principal's office, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.

The principal's office is located in the core area of ​​the faculty area.

Therefore, many teachers pass by here.

Every male teacher who walked through this corridor was not attracted by V's beauty, while the female teachers were jealous of V's angelic face and devilish figure.

V, on the other hand, paid no attention to their gazes. Only when the male teacher came forward to strike up a conversation, would he scare them away with his cold gaze.

After a long period of time, a dejected David came out of the principal's office.

Looking at his drooping look, V knew that David's idea was shattered.

Therefore, she did not ask how the conversation went inside, but David took the initiative to explain.

"Arasaka Academy has expelled me, and the principal does not allow me to come back, even if I am willing to pay compensation for damaging the system."

"This is their loss, not your fault." V comforted.

David forced a smile.

But he didn't feel any better because of V's comfort.

"Then do you want me to take you home now, or..."

"Miss V, please take me back to Stoneridge Mountain," David said, looking into V's eyes. "Although my mother wants me to continue studying, I have been expelled from school. No matter how hard I plead, the principal is not willing to let me go." Go back to study, so..."

He clenched his fists: "At least, I have to have a job, and I can't let my mother raise a moth anymore."

"You have such a good idea, then let's go back to Stoneridge Mountain."

V doesn’t know how Su Xiao plans to arrange David.

But judging from David's experience of enrolling in Arasaka Academy, there should be no problem for him to work as a clerk in Akebono Club.

As for how far and how high David can go in the future, that depends on his personal efforts.

The two of them walked towards Arasaka Academy, but before they took a few steps, David's face suddenly turned ugly.

Because he saw that the guy he usually had the least dealing with in school was at the end of this corridor and was walking towards them.

If they just walked over like this, the two of them would meet face to face sooner or later.

Based on past experience, nothing good happens every time he meets the other party. Now that he has been expelled from Arasaka Academy, there is no need to conflict with the other party again.

Thinking of this, David said urgently to V beside him: "Miss V, please come with me over here. Let's go this way."

Although V didn't know what happened, he took a look at David's face and guessed that David might have bumped into someone he didn't want to meet in the academy.

She didn't say anything, just nodded and followed David to the faculty passage in the other direction of the corridor.

But what David didn't know was that the person he didn't want to meet had actually discovered him long before he discovered him.

"David Martinez, haven't you been expelled from the academy? Why do you still dare to show up at Arasaka Academy?"

"What a shameless piece of trash, let's see how I teach you a lesson!"

David and V ran into the faculty passage and went down the stairs.

Because this faculty and staff passage is a staircase rather than an elevator, few people generally use it, instead using it as an escape route.

In one breath, he ran from the floor where the principal's office was to the stairwell near the exit on the first floor. David turned his head and glanced at the stairs upstairs behind him.

After confirming that the guy hadn't caught up, he put his hands on his knees and gasped for air.

But V, standing next to him, was neither blushing nor out of breath, which was in sharp contrast to David.

"First... let me rest for a while, and then let's go, Miss V."

"What are you hiding from?"

When David's expression changed just now, V followed David's gaze and noticed that he suddenly changed his route and took this route because he saw a young man wearing an Arasaka Academy uniform with short blue hair. Faculty access.

V is not a person without a sense of boundaries, nor does he like to inquire into other people's privacy.

But if David were to become their colleague in the future, V didn't want David to hide his troubles.

Hiding one's troubles is not a sign of maturity. On the contrary, it will make it more difficult to end the situation when thunderstorms occur.

If you can't solve it yourself, it's better to be honest and honest and seek help from others.

David thought for a moment, "He's my classmate at Arasaka Academy. He always likes to cause trouble for me."

"You owe him money?"

"No, it's just because I'm poor and don't want to lick him like other people."

V nodded, expressing understanding.

We cannot say that all second-generation rich people are disgusting, but we have to admit that some of them are indeed even more rubbish than the villains in urban novels.

"Then let's go, you won't meet him again."

"I think so too."

The two of them came down the stairs and walked towards the closed exit door.

Suddenly, the exit door was opened from the outside, and the young man that David least wanted to see walked in like a proud rooster.

His eyes glanced around, finally resting on David, and said in a arrogant tone.

"David Martinez, what are you doing here?"

David's heart tightened.

He already consciously wanted to avoid the other party,

But the opponent is still like a tarsal maggot, unable to get rid of it, which is really unlucky.

"This has nothing to do with you, right, Tanaka Katsuo? Wherever I want to go is my freedom."

"Freedom? I found it funny when I heard it. You have been expelled from Arasaka College. What qualifications do you have to come to Arasaka College?"

"I don't want to quarrel with you. Get out of the way. Don't you want to see me? I was about to leave. I made it sound as if I rarely wanted to be here."

Tanaka Katsuo suddenly pointed at David and screamed strangely.

"That's the attitude, David. Do you know why you have no friends in the academy? Do you know why I always target you? It's the attitude you have now that makes me unhappy."

"I'm not pointing out that your family is poor. In fact, I'm very open-minded. It's not your fault that you were born into a poor family. There's no rule that poor people can't study at Arasaka Academy. Of course, the premise is that they can afford the tuition."

"But what I can't forgive is your attitude! You look so out of place, you freak!"

"Trash that will never fit into the class. If you ignore it, it will only make others dirty. All you can do is not to implicate us."

V's eyes narrowed slightly.

There was no emotion on her face, but she already had a bad feeling in her heart towards David's classmate named Tanaka Katsuo.

Although Tanaka Katsuo was targeting David, not her.

However, this kind of guy who is no better than the poor except for his good reincarnation, arrogantly talks to the poor and talks a lot of nonsense that seems reasonable but is actually nonsense, it is still very uncomfortable.

David was also very dissatisfied with Tanaka Katsuo.

I especially hate that this guy has no discernment.

Didn’t you realize that this was obviously the last time you came to Arasaka Academy? Why can't you just be kind and let yourself go?

But David was dissatisfied, but after taking a deep breath, he suppressed all the dissatisfaction in his heart.

If it had been before, he would have fought with Tanaka Katsuo no matter what.

But now, he can't do that.

He couldn't get Miss V and Mr. Su into trouble.

David didn't know much about the backgrounds of these classmates in the college, but since Tanaka Katsuo was in their class, they were among the group with the deepest backgrounds.

Therefore, I have heard about it all the time.

It seems that Tanaka Katsuo's father is not only a member of the board of directors of Arasaka Academy, but also has a high position in Arasaka Tower.

No matter how stupid David is, he knows that if he beats Tanaka Katsuo, this young man will definitely go to his father to complain.

Mr. Su and the others will be in trouble by then.

David had a dark face, put his hands in his pockets and was about to walk out, but Tanaka Katsuo ignored him and stood in front of him.

"Wait, I'm not finished yet!"

Tanaka Katsuo tilted his head, with an expression on his face that he wanted to be beaten, and continued: "I heard that your mother came to the college a few days ago and begged the principal for forgiveness."

"It's so embarrassing to cry my eyes out and pray for my precious son not to be kicked out of school."

"Besides, I've always found it strange. What kind of job does your mother have? Can you afford to study here? Why don't you explain it to me? David Martinez."

David's face had completely darkened, but Tanaka Katsuo didn't seem to see it, or he actually saw it, but he continued to be provocative without caring.

"I can only think of one way to make quick money in Night City, and that is illegal work."
