Chapter 182 Blue Drunk Champagne(1/2)
"Are we? We are chatting about some private matters between ladies. Wouldn't you like to get involved in the conversation, Mr. Client?"
Qiwei's slightly hoarse voice passed through the mask. Her timbre was filtered by the prosthetic mask, and it always had a special mechanical feel.
"I'll forget it. Besides, my name is Lin Mo, Ms. Qiwei."
Lin Mo had a faint smile on his lips, and suddenly raised his hand, where he was holding two exquisite and elegant wine bottles.
"Don't you feel bored staying here? Why don't you two go in and have a few drinks together to discuss the details of the mission." He suggested with a smile.
"Okay." Qiwei nodded indifferently.
Lin Mo walked into the box first, followed by Qiwei and Lucy.
The appearance of the three people instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the box, but most people's eyes stayed on Lucy for a while longer, with a complicated and inexplicable look in their eyes.
Lin Mo's arrival was within their expectations, and Qiwei might have just met him outside.
But although everyone present had met this relatively unfamiliar white-haired lady once, they still felt a little confused about such an unplanned figure.
The bustling box was completely quiet for a while, but the silent atmosphere did not last long and was soon broken by Mann's hearty voice.
"You are finally here, Lin Mo. Do you know how long we have been waiting for you here? If I had known, I would have come here later and asked you to wait for us."
Mann said loudly, but even though he said this, the smile on his lips could still be seen, and he was in a good mood.
"That's right, come over quickly and drink some wine with your sister to apologize, Xiao Lin Mo!" Rebecca also yelled.
When Jack saw this, he stood up and went forward, put his arm around Lin Mo's shoulders, and took the two bottles of wine in his hand.
His eyes were instantly attracted by the exquisite shell of the wine bottle. The entire silver-gray bottle shell was dotted with tiny diamonds, which shone with dazzling colors like a rainbow under the light in the box.
"Here you go, Blue Drunk Champagne Diamond Edition, Lin Mo, are you bleeding money, are you planning to open it now?" Jack clicked his tongue, with a look of surprise on his face.
When he said this, everyone else's attention was focused on the two bottles of wine, and the topic in the box changed instantly and quietly.
Mann, who wanted to laugh and scold Lin Mo, stopped talking and looked at the wine bottle in Jack's hand.
It was a good rescue, Brother Jack's thoughts were really delicate... Lin Mo looked at Jack beside him, with a little more gratitude in his eyes.
However, Jack obviously didn't pay attention to his gaze. After sitting on the sofa, he carefully placed two bottles of wine on the glass table with a mysterious look on his face, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the box to him.
"Blue Drunken Champagne, and the diamond version, what the hell is that?" Mann asked rudely.
Lin Mo smiled and did not explain. He just looked at Jack silently, curious about how the other party would explain.
He also took advantage of the situation and sat on the small sofa. The sofa that could accommodate four people was already occupied by him, Jack and David.
The last remaining seat was naturally the empty seat next to Lin Mo, near the edge of the "armrest".
Lucy looked around and wanted to sit with Qiwei, but she caught a glimpse of the other person just sitting calmly on the "armrest" of the sofa, looking like she was not paying attention.
In desperation, she also wanted to learn and apply it now. After all, among all the people present, she didn't know many people. Naturally, it was better to stay close to familiar people.
However, just when she was about to sit on the "armrest" next to Lin Mo, a woman with the same white hair suddenly appeared.
The white-haired woman who suddenly arrived was the first to sit next to the boy. The expression on her face was pretending to be curious as she looked at the bottle in Jack's hand. She also pressed her body forward slightly, resting her elbows on her knees and her palms against his knees.
The cheek is quite close to the boy's body.
Lucy frowned slightly, inexplicably feeling a hint of hostility from the other party, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
However, her original intention was not to be in that position, and she didn't take the woman's "offense" to heart for the time being, and just leaned on the sofa and sat on the armrest.
At the same time, Jack also explained in time:
"Blue Drunken Champagne is the most expensive drink in Ritz Bar, no, even in the entire Night City, and the Diamond Edition is even more the emperor of drinks!"
"It's just two bottles of wine for the Emperor. Could it be that drinking it can improve our combat effectiveness? Let me shoot more accurately?" Rebecca started to retort.
"Hey, sister, this is a problem with your vision. If I say, this bottle of wine alone can be worth the commission of a commission for your entire team, would you believe it?" Jack chuckled.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present except Lin Mo and David could not help but widen their eyes slightly.
Lin Mo was the buyer, so he naturally didn't find it strange. David, on the other hand, had no idea about commissions. He just thought it should be expensive, but he didn't have an accurate value for how expensive it was.
As for the rest of the people, they naturally knew that Mann, a mercenary team that could hang out in bars in the afterlife, would definitely get a commission in the tens of thousands for any one trip.
After all, if the entire team makes a commission, there will be 6 people in total. If the commission is too small, it may not be enough to divide the accounts.
"How much exactly?" Mann looked at the bottle of wine with burning eyes, as if he was looking at the prosthetic body he longed for.
Jack was about to tell the price, but Lin Mo on the side stretched out his hand to stop him.
"No matter how much it costs, wine is produced for drinking. No matter how high the price is, it cannot conceal its properties as food. I am really sorry for making everyone wait for so long today, so I brought this bottle of wine to apologize." Lin
Mo explained with a smile.
"Hey, it's okay. If we knew you would come with this kind of thing, we would be happy to wait no matter how long it took!" Mann laughed loudly, not feeling restrained, and tapped the table with the back of his hand, urging expectantly:
"Come on, brother Jack, let me taste the urine of such an expensive drink."
The small bullet cup was immediately placed on the table. Jack raised the bottle and uncorked it, and a mellow smell of wine immediately filled the box.
The man from Heywood carefully poured the wine into the glass, fearing to spill a drop.
Lin Mo looked at this scene with a smile on his face, and it was part of his plan to bring these two bottles of wine.
Tonight's operation had to be done in advance, so he had to come over immediately after class. Secondly, he also took a detour to pick up Lucy. The speed of the Sword in the Stone was still trustworthy.
Secondly, people in the box should not be allowed to waste time drinking. Lin Mo knew that there were many drunkards in this group of people.
Therefore, two bottles of expensive wine can not only serve as a belated apology, but also prevent them from drinking too much. It can even make them feel like "I've drank such expensive wine tonight, and I won't drink anything else."
It’s such a loss” feeling.
It can be said that it achieves multiple things with one stone.
No one knew Lin Mo's little thoughts. After three rounds of wine, the two exquisite wine bottles were suddenly empty, leaving only two bottles.
"I feel that the taste is similar to the wine I usually drink. That's not right. It does seem to taste better?" Mann smacked his mouth and savored the taste.
"Mann, you don't understand. This wine has a mellow taste. Compared with those cheap industrially produced synthetic wines, I can feel that this bottle of wine is definitely artificially brewed, and the taste is quite unique."
Falco, who was sitting in the corner, spoke like a veteran, looking like an old drunkard.
"Okay, okay, let's keep the gossip to a minimum. I didn't call you here today just to taste two bottles of wine."
Lin Mo spoke in time, interrupted the chatter of the others, and asked softly:
"You should all know the purpose of coming here tonight, so I don't need to explain anything more. The plan has been sent to you in an attachment in advance. The middleman who will dispatch the commission will have a remote call with us later. What else do you have?
If you have any questions, you can ask them now."
In order to save time as much as possible and avoid wasting words explaining the plan, when Lin Mo decided to take action tonight, he sent the detailed plan to everyone early in the morning.
"No problem, Xiao Lin Mo, isn't it just sneaking into the Arasaka Beach? I can't wait to think about competing with the Arasaka Company!" Rebecca smiled excitedly.
Compared to Rebecca, who could fight and just care about nothing, Mann, the leader of the team, thought more. He gave Lin Mo a deep look and said in a deep voice:
"Lin Mo, are you sure you are confident about this mission? Although we are only responsible for containment and post-exposure work, after all, this is a competition with Arasaka Company. I hope you will not act rashly."
"Don't worry, I'm absolutely sure. Regina will arrange for her people to be responsible for the finishing work. You can rest assured. We've known each other for so long. Don't you still understand me?" Lin Mo replied confidently.
Eyes.
Seeing this, Mann said nothing more, nodded and stopped talking.
"I have a question, why did you arrange for the portable hacker to go in with you?"
The person who questioned this time was Sasha. She frowned slightly and did not focus on Lucy. Instead, she stared directly at Lin Mo.
Regarding this issue, not only was she confused, everyone present was basically puzzled by it, so that after Sasha raised the question, everyone also looked at Lin Mo and Lucy.
Even Qiwei felt a little confused. Although she recognized Lucy's talent, no matter how good the talent was, it was not the same as experience.
She has taught Lucy the rules of how to live in Night City in the past, and she also understands this girl's abilities.
She is still young, and it is estimated that she has not been exposed to this type of commission many times. Another hacker, Sasha, at least relied on his own ability to enter the Afterlife Bar, and has more experience in similar commissions.
No matter how you think about it, Sasha is the better candidate.
However, due to the prestige that Lin Mo had accumulated in the past, and the fact that he himself was a candidate for infiltration, no matter how arrogant he was, he would never risk his own life, so everyone just believed in the abilities of this new hacker.
Sure enough, it was the same as the deeds given by the simulator. She finally raised objections... Lin Mo took Sasha's reaction into consideration and was not surprised at all.
"I hope you won't ask any more questions about this arrangement. The results of tonight's operation will prove everything. I hope you can trust my arrangement, and I hope you can trust Lucy."
Now that everyone was looking at him, Lin Mo cleverly changed the topic and pulled Lucy in.
He looked at Lucy and said sincerely:
"Miss Lucy, I also hope you can understand that I arranged for you to infiltrate with me out of trust in your ability. In addition, if tonight's operation goes well, you will be a formal member of the team as long as you are willing.
"
An inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of Lucy's lips. She didn't feel stage fright when faced with everyone's gaze. Instead, she asked calmly:
"Oh? Really? Since boss you trust my ability so much, but you still arrange for me to do that kind of work, it's hard for me to trust you now."
Well... letting people go to the garbage dump to rummage through the garbage... it's going to backfire after all.
Lin Mo was speechless for a moment, showing a bit of embarrassment.
After all, if the deeds given by the simulator hadn't shown that the results of letting Lucy infiltrate together were pretty good, he wouldn't have thought of letting her join in.
To be continued...
