"Let's talk about it later when we have time, Miss Lucy. Since you have joined our team, you don't have to think too much anymore. You can just fish when you don't have work. I am a good boss."
Lin Mo smiled easily, put his hands on the guardrail, and raised one hand to greet Mann and others downstairs.
The people standing in the lobby on the first floor, "drawing their swords and looking around in confusion" also saw Lin Mo on the suspended spiral staircase, and waved happily in response, and walked towards the second floor enthusiastically.
"That..." Lucy seemed to have something else she wanted to say.
Before she could speak, Lin Mo seemed to know what she wanted to ask, and with a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand to interrupt her story:
"It's time for a big meal now, Miss Lucy. If you have anything to do, you can talk about it later."
After saying that, he walked towards the second floor without looking back.
Lucy looked at his back calmly, and finally sighed.
...
The festive banquet has begun, and a variety of dishes and various amusement equipment will definitely make everyone immersed in joy.
For these marginalized people who usually travel the streets and do various entrusted tasks, the food on the table is definitely of an "unheard of" level.
They have never seen a fruit and vegetable platter stacked in the shape of a castle, they have never tasted tender fatty meat that makes their mouths drip with oil, and they have never tried a cake made with pure honey.
Wine brewed from pure grains, and even ordinary drinks are juice squeezed from pure fruits and vegetables...
The banquet reached its climax from the very beginning. With the food in front of them, everyone was too lazy to waste time chatting. Instead of focusing on the dining table, they ran to chat. Chatting for one more second would be disrespectful to the food.
At the banquet, everyone was filled with happy smiles.
Even after eating and drinking, everyone was leisurely relaxing in their own way.
The glasses were being exchanged, and it was Mann and Jack who were shouting and laughing loudly over the wine; they were slandering each other with a few curses, and it was David and Pila who hid in the video game area, and the two of them were in the video game area.
Fighting in the arcade.
There was also the sound of the punching of sandbags. It was Dolio who was practicing boxing with sandbags alone in the fitness area.
Eating and drinking is generally not suitable for high-intensity exercise, but she is also a person who is very fond of boxing. After eating and drinking, she saw that there are such complete equipment in the fitness area, and she feels uncomfortable if she does not exercise. Besides, tonight
At the party, no one would stop her.
In addition to these rough sects, there are naturally also quiet sects.
After finishing their meal, Falco and Qiwei chose to quietly drink wine at the bar, and they had a pleasant chat.
Opposite the two of them, Hiroshi Kitagawa, dressed as a waiter, was mixing drinks with exquisite skills.
The women's group was also very lively. Rebecca, Sasha and Lucy were sitting on the sofa in the lounge area, chatting in a nonchalant voice, not knowing what they were talking about.
But looking at the glances from the three of them from time to time, Lin Mo was very doubtful whether these three guys were secretly chatting about himself.
After chewing slowly to fill his stomach, Lin Mo picked up a bottle of wine, not intending to participate in the excitement.
...
Compared to the inside on the second floor, the balcony outside seems very quiet.
Although it was very lively inside, and the roaring laughter was like bells swaying, and bells and drums ringing, creating a scene of gathering and celebrating, Lin Mo still walked to the balcony outside the floor-to-ceiling window and hid in the ink-stained moonlight.
He held the wine bottle gently in his hand, and no longer feared wine as much as snakes and tigers as before, he held the bottle high and drank it all in one gulp.
"Tonight is really rare."
He muttered to himself slightly drunkenly, looking up at the moon hanging high in the sky and blowing the distant sea breeze at night.
Night City is a "free" city full of change and sin.
There are still many things to happen in this city in the future. He has been a marginalized person for some time, and his growth rate can be said to be rapid.
However, this is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go in the future. Lin Mo knows very well that he is just getting started. If he wants to hold a banquet like today in the future, he may not have many opportunities.
"Why are you staying here alone and drinking? Why don't you go in and chat with everyone?"
A burst of hearty laughter broke Lin Mo's thoughts and woke him up from his meditation.
He turned his head and saw Mann walking over with two wine bottles, and skillfully handed one bottle to Lin Mo as if passing cigarettes to a friend.
Lin Mo didn't show any pretense. He put the bottle of wine aside and took the drink handed over by Mann.
"It's good to be quiet. The excitement is yours, I don't have anything."
Lin Mo smiled softly and casually excerpted a sentence from a prose he had learned before.
Mann didn't say much. He picked up the bottle and leaned against the guardrail, looking at the river shrouded in night not far away. The sound of the sparkling waves seemed to be able to reach his ears.
"Thank you for the feast tonight. To be honest, after eating this meal, I feel that even if I die now, I will have no regrets." He said with a slight smile.
"Why would you say such depressing words on such a rare night..." Lin Mo joked, looking at Mann. He was about to say something, but his eyes froze slightly.
Although he was a little drunk tonight, he believed that he was not wrong.
Mann's hand holding the wine bottle was obviously as thick as an ordinary person's thigh, but now it was like an old man's withered arm, trembling slightly with coldness.
As if he was aware of Lin Mo's gaze, Mann's smile froze on his face, so he hit the arm hard with his free hand, as if he was using "physical" methods to repair the worn-out arm.
Electrical appliances.
This smashing was also quite effective, and the trembling arm instantly disappeared from the previous symptoms.
"Hey, I drank so much that I can't even lift the bottle."
Mann said with a smile, as if he wanted to cover up what just happened.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "How long have these symptoms lasted?" Lin Mo asked quietly, not being easily changed by Mann.
"What are the symptoms? What are you talking about?" Mann continued to pretend to be dumbfounded, and there was a bit of impatience in his words.
"Did it happen after the implantation of that Sian Westan?" Lin Mo asked again, looking at Mann with a cold look.
Mann gritted his teeth slightly, seeming to be very dissatisfied with Lin Mo's inquiry.
In the past, when he was implanted with these high-load prostheses, he was inevitably criticized by idle people.
This feeling is like playing a game and being suddenly reminded and criticized by others while working. Even if the other person has good intentions, the person involved will inevitably feel irritable inside.
The same is true for Mann, but Lin Mo is the host of tonight's banquet after all. He accepted their friendship and couldn't leave in disappointment.
"I'll take care of it. Don't worry too much. It's been this way all these years. You're still young, so there's no need to worry about this." Mann sighed and said in a deep voice.
Lin Mo still stared at him with cold eyes. After all, he still couldn't say anything more, so he had to give one last reminder:
"This is a one-way road to hell. I hope you can stop and think carefully and don't sink too deep."
As soon as these words came out, Mann's face turned ugly again, and he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked down at the young man beside him.
Seeing this, Lin Mo could only sigh, smiled slightly and said to lighten the atmosphere:
"But, you should feel lucky that you still have a friend whose speed is comparable to the fastest animal in the world, the peregrine falcon. If one day you accidentally go too far, he will catch up with you and kick you
Kick you back."
Mann's eyes narrowed, and a smile appeared on his stiff face;
"Oh? Can't I just kick him and make him roll as far as I want?"
"When the time comes, you can give it a try." Lin Mo raised the bottle.
Mann smiled in relief and raised the bottle to touch it.
