The two walked through the lively bar hall. The neon lights above their heads were still scattering messy light. The randomly dancing light beams were like snakes wandering around the bar. The sight of people here could not help but be blurred.
The ambiguous color filter is like being trapped in a fantasyland in a dream, with the fog of desire and love in front of you.
While walking, Jack never stopped talking. He followed Lin Mo and sighed in a low voice:
"This place is still the same as before. There are still so many customers. It is indeed the best Mewtwo Experience Center in the city. While waiting for you to come over, I can't help but want to experience it."
As a veteran fringe person who lives on the streets, he is also familiar with this bar.
It's just that I don't come here very often to have fun, and I only come here occasionally to discuss business.
Thinking of this, Jack couldn't help turning his head to look at Lin Mo, and said jokingly:
"You kid, don't come here every day. I don't object to enjoying it once in a while, but at your current age, if your body is destroyed early, you still have to have those ghost steel cannons implanted. Do you think it's embarrassing or not?
?”
Lin Mo smiled and said disapprovingly:
"Let me tell you, Brother Jack is the one who needs attention. Aren't you afraid of being blamed by Sister Misty when you come to a place like this?"
"That little girl..." When talking about Misty, Jack also laughed a few times, touched his head and whispered: "As long as you don't tell anyone, no one will know that we were here tonight."
Just when Lin Mo thought that Jack wanted to have some fun once in a while, he was shocked to see that the expression on the other person's face suddenly became serious, and he looked at him meaningfully:
"But there are some things that you can deceive others, but you cannot deceive yourself. If you are greedy for pleasure and have ruined your body, you may die outside when doing tasks in the future. You are so promising, you can't die earlier than me!"
Lin Mo laughed a few times, trying to lighten the atmosphere, and joked:
"What you're saying is unlucky, but isn't it? Although the business in the Afterlife Bar is big business, the risks are indeed high. Regarding this, it's quite normal that Brother Jack doesn't know."
"Screw you, you kid is so stubborn. Even if you become a big shot in the next life, in my eyes you will still be the scared little kid who followed me behind!"
"Can you please stop mentioning that..." Lin Mo sighed helplessly.
He once asked Jack to take him to the territory of the Valentino Gang, but after all, this was his first time wandering around in such a place with different religions.
Even if Jack was by his side, he did not dare to be careless. He made all preparations before following Jack closely, looking at the street scenery of Night City.
But in Jack's eyes, those preparations were just the excessive worries of a young man who had never been out.
Although the order in Night City is indeed chaotic, the probability of being shot for no reason while walking on the street is still very low, so Jack often teases him about this matter.
However, what makes Lin Mo more gratified is that even though he has now made a name for himself on the road, Jack still does not create a barrier with him because of the difference in status, and is still so enthusiastic.
I think so.
Even if he chooses to start the game as a company dog, Jack still doesn't mind being friendly with V, who already has a high status in the company.
It can be seen that in the eyes of the other party, the difference in identity has never been an obstacle to becoming friends, which is much better than that kid David.
"If you ask me, instead of enjoying Mewtwo in a place like this, it's better to play iron with me. You have also been to my bar. I rented a small warehouse nearby and transformed it into a fitness room.
I'll just warm up there when I have nothing to do." Jack said with a smile,
"You should also learn from me. Men should have their own little world. If you also want to rent these small warehouses, you can come to me and I can introduce them to you."
What's the point? It's better to go to my house. The warehouse at my house is quite big... Lin Mo thought divergently for no reason.
Just when Lin Mo wanted to answer that there was already a similar small world, he had an idea, seemed to have thought of something, and changed his words decisively:
"If there is a chance, I will consider it."
Just when Jack wanted to continue saying something, Lin Mo suddenly stopped, took out an ID card, swiped it in front of an electronic door, and suddenly opened the private room.
"Here we are."
Lin Mo stepped aside, letting Jack walk into the box first, and then closed the electronic door.
The space in the private room is compact, with only a pink-hued ring-shaped sofa and a table. On the table are several "menus" with the covers of seductive girls, and there is a shelf in the corner with several magazines.
Although the space is small, everything you need is there, giving you an absolutely guaranteed sense of security.
"I didn't expect that this kind of small box would be quite decent."
Jack sat down on the sofa and patted the sofa to test its softness.
"After all, it's my treat. I can't let you, Brother Jack, stay outside in a place like that. It's too noisy." Lin Mo explained with a smile.
"Forget it, let's talk about business first. Let's talk about it. You specially invited me here. Do you have something serious to talk about?"
Jack also gradually stopped smiling and looked at Lin Mo seriously.
Lin Mo didn't continue to pretend, he took out the card from his pocket and handed it to the table in front of Jack.
Jack picked up the card and read both sides. He couldn't help but smile when he saw the tiny words written on it.
"Garbage disposal studio? This name is used to confuse other people's eyes, right? Do you want to invite me to work with you?"
Lin Mo smiled and said frankly: "I really can't hide it from you, Brother Jack. That's right, I just want to invite you, Brother Jack, to work together."
"Are you sure? Boy, although I'm glad that you think highly of me, you also know that I have been on the streets for several years after quitting the Valentino Gang, and I haven't achieved anything in the past few years. How can I compare with you?
Not even close."
Jack held the card between his fingers and flipped it back and forth subconsciously, his eyes not staying on the card for long.
He didn't even take a second look at the benefits terms on the card.
"I am extremely sure that the team I want to create cannot be without you, Brother Jack. This is my most sincere request." Lin Mo's attitude was sincere.
Jack held the card and gently touched his chin with his other hand, smiling softly.
"It seems that I can't refuse. Compared to teamwork, so many years on the street have made me better at fighting alone, but I don't reject teamwork. If you invite me, then I have no reason to refuse." He
Said calmly.
Seeing that Lin Mo, a junior, had made a name for himself faster than him, and that he kept calling him big brother, Jack still felt a little depressed.
Now Lin Mo is willing to give himself a chance. He is not that pretentious. As a man, he should be more relaxed.
"Tell me, what are your plans for the future development of the team? After all, it has the name of a studio, so you won't just invite me." Jack smiled softly and saw through Lin Mo at a glance.
thoughts.
"Yes, in addition to Brother Jack, I also invited others." Lin Mo nodded with a smile.
"Who?" Jack asked.
"Well...a retired member who once worked in the Tiger Claw Gang, a young boy with great talent, and a cyber hacker who is qualified to enter the Afterlife Bar. These are the three people currently." Lin Mo introduced briefly.
.
"In addition, there is a non-staff member who is also a hacker, but he is still in the testing period."
Jack touched his chin, with a thoughtful look on his face, and said:
"To be honest, the composition of your members is a bit mixed, but compared to excellent strength, the most important thing is trust. Are all three of them trustworthy?"
"Brother Jack, don't you believe my vision?" Lin Mo smiled meaningfully.
Jack couldn't help laughing, he reached out and slapped Lin Mo's thigh angrily, and cursed with a smile:
"Damn it, you kid still dares to give me a bad look. If I say otherwise, then I'm bringing myself in."
He was also a team member specially selected by Lin Mo. If he said he didn't believe it, wouldn't he be saying that Lin Mo had poor vision and was devaluing himself in disguise.
"Actually, I still have a target, but the number of people in this target is a bit too large and it is more difficult to capture. I have to poach them bit by bit." Lin Mo continued.
"Other teams?" Jack was keenly aware of the target Lin Mo was referring to.
"Yes, a team that is qualified to enter the afterlife bar." Lin Mo said.
Jack also nodded and agreed:
"That is indeed a tough one. It's not that easy to poach someone. This kind of team that has experienced the baptism of fire is not as scattered as the casual teams outside. If you want to poach a corner, you have to be careful. If those people find out, they might
Put a bullet in your head."
"Don't worry, the hackers in the team now are from there." Lin Mo said with a smile.
"Damn it, you're pretty awesome, boy, is this hacker a woman?" Jack was slightly surprised.
"How did you know?" Lin Mo was stunned.
Jack looked like he had known this for a long time, looked at Lin Mo with a rather complacent look, and said with a bad smile:
"You have such a small face, let alone abducting someone. If the leader of their team is a woman, you will definitely abduct him."
"I must be right, the leader of their team should be a man."
Lin Mo nodded in confusion and said helplessly:
"It's true that I'm a man, but my face may not be popular in Night City. You also know that Night City's aesthetics are very diverse."
"Hehe, you don't have as much knowledge in this area as I do. Although people now advocate various prosthetics and unique styles, in this big vat of Night City, do you dare to say that you are not special?
"Jack's smile was slightly contemptuous, as if he had been through it all before.
As he spoke, he picked up the magazine on the table, opened a few pages at random and handed it to Lin Mo's hand.
"Look at this."
All guests who can enter the private rooms are distinguished guests. In order to highlight the unique style, Lizzy Bar also specially prepared a paper version of the "menu" for the guests in the private rooms.
Compared with a digital display screen, when this paper "menu" is turned over in the hand, the attractive charms in the album seem to be at your fingertips. The exquisite album renders extremely moving colors, outlining the scenes that can only be found in dreams.
The fragrant picture can only be seen in .
Like this "menu" that implies an advertising nature, every exquisite picture on it is a picture that appeared in the Mewtwo movie.
There will never be any nonsense [the advertisement is for reference only, please refer to the actual product].
Lin Mo took the magazine, glanced at it casually, and asked doubtfully:
"What's so good about this? Isn't it just some popular Mewtwo movies?"
He is no longer the young boy who entered Lizzy Bar for the first time.
Seeing the most popular Mewtwo video in recent times, he was not touched at all. His good calmness made him accustomed to these provocative scenes.
By the way, when his calmness attribute was improved by 1 point, could it be because he often came to Lizzy Bar to exercise? Lin Mo thought divergently.
Jack chuckled a few times, stretched out his thick fingers, pointed at the pictures in the magazine, and asked:
"Look at the little wild cats here. They each have their own charm, but one thing is for sure, whether in your eyes or mine, these little wild cats are all good-looking and have good figures.
Good."
Lin Mo opened the magazine and took a closer look, and found that this was indeed the case.
Although the above participants have different appearance and temperament, and some are not within his aesthetic range, it is undeniable that these people all have unique charm.
"The human brain can hypnotize itself, but the body's instincts cannot and hormones cannot." Jack pretended to be profound and said in a low tone:
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "So, in this land of Night City, your charm is very rare. Although you are not as big as me in terms of height, and your muscles are not as strong as mine, but
There’s always someone who likes it, right?”
"I've learned a lesson." Lin Mo suddenly understood and was impressed by Jack's words.
Speaking of being a man of three generations, he seems to have never been exposed to this kind of knowledge...
When he was at Blue Star, he was still a hard-working medical beast. After traveling to the main world, he was still a hard-working social beast, and now he is even a teenager who is not yet underage.
Lin Mo touched his chin and thought secretly, his eyes deep.
If there is such an opportunity in this life, should we find a way to make up for it when our body reaches adulthood?
With her current worth, it doesn't seem difficult to find a girlfriend as long as Xu Wanxue is willing to nod her head.
However, Lin Mo, who was deep in thought, suddenly frowned and suddenly thought of something bad.
His current physical age is 16 years old, and it will be two years before he reaches adulthood.
Coincidentally, his birthday is still December 29th. By that time, the plot of the Cyber World game will have already been completed.
In two years, with the help of the simulator and winning over V, the living king of hell, he will most likely accomplish what he wants to achieve in Night City.
However, who can know the process? The simulator can only give predictions one day in advance. The v in the game kills everyone, but the result is that it still only has a lifespan of less than half a year.
By the end, even the most brilliant "My broken body turns into fire" seems to have changed a lot of things, but also seems like nothing has changed.
In addition... there are almost unmatched wandering AIs that peek into the human world...
There is still a long way to go before what I have to do... When it comes to talking about my girlfriend, I'd better let nature take its course.
"Hey, shit, you kid can't even lose your mind reading these magazines. How long have you been holding it in?"
Seeing Lin Mo not speaking for a long time, Jack couldn't help but reach out and wave his hand in front of his eyes, instantly bringing him back to reality.
"I was thinking about something just now." Lin Mo explained with a normal expression, and put the magazine on the table casually: "And we seem to have digressed. Isn't it time to talk about business now?"
"It's too boring to talk about business all the time. It would be nice to talk about other things occasionally to lighten the atmosphere." Jack chuckled, looked at the empty table, and frowned:
"Boy, after talking so much, my tongue is almost dripping with tears. Didn't you order some drinks?"
Lin Mo rubbed his forehead and said, "I almost forgot. Before I came, I was only thinking about how to invite Brother Jack to join the team. I didn't think about ordering drinks."
"You'd better let me go. You look like you have a lot on your mind, so just let me do this little bit of work." Jack accepted this small task cheerfully and stood up neatly and walked out of the box.
Looking at Jack's leaving figure, Lin Mo sighed.
After Jack's teasing, he really thought a little too much.
The future will be decided by his future self. What he has to do now is to get the team together as soon as possible. The top priority is to get the people he values into the team first.
When he first saw Mann, he often compared him with Jack.
Both of them were muscular men with big shoulders and thick waists. At first, Lin Mo mistakenly thought that the two of them might get along. It was not until he saw Mann's prosthetic body that he gave up the idea.
These two people are completely opposite extremes.
A person who purely regards his body parts as replacement parts at will and wants to rely on various powerful prosthetics to make himself go further in the industry of marginalized people.
So much so that even though it was just an immunosuppressant, it almost became a kind of enjoyment in the eyes of the other party.
Although he longs for strong strength, he does not blindly pursue prosthetic bodies. Instead, he values his own physical strength and likes to roll iron at home to train himself into a big man.
But looking at his performance in the game, we can also find that he also has the ability to sneak like a ninja.
The above is the information that Lin Mo obtained after contacting the two people.
However, the two characters have one thing in common: loyalty. In addition, Mann is more rogue and wild, while Jack is more mature and optimistic.
Just when he thought of this, the electronic door of the box suddenly opened. Lin Mo's train of thought was interrupted. He looked up and saw Jack carrying bottles and drinks with a cheerful smile on his face. He quickly stepped into the box and put these things on the table.
superior.
"vamos, chico (come on, kid), let's have a few drinks and talk about the future of life together!"
Jack raised the bullet cup and shouted enthusiastically:
"I know that you are allergic to alcohol. When you were in my mother's bar, you coyly said that you were allergic to alcohol. I still remember it, so I chose some drinks for you."
Lin Mo took a drink and raised his glass: "I'm ready, Brother Jack."
Jack also raised his glass, drank it in one gulp, touched his mouth and said:
"Actually, to be honest, I never thought that I would be your partner one day. With your age, you should actually call me uncle, but it's strange that I can't even talk to a child when I'm chatting with you.
It doesn’t even feel like...but it feels more like chatting with a peer. It’s really weird.”
Lin Mo held the cup with a smile, and the pearlescent glass turned like a toy in his hand.
"Maybe, this is fate."
"Oops, I forgot what I was doing before drinking." Jack slapped his head, and Lang Shuang smiled and said:
"You see, you have to have a few glasses before drinking, so that the drink tastes good enough. You can't drink, but you can use drinks. Let's do it first, for the sake of life."
He raised his wine glass and waited for Lin Mo.
Lin Mo also raised his wine glass, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Best greetings."
