What a gentle and considerate sister. For the sake of her dear brother, she would do her best to dedicate everything to Lin Mo.
In front of outsiders, she is the newly promoted vice president of Qianti Company. She is cold and decisive. A random decision may destroy an innocent person's future. When researching products, she treats herself as cold as a machine and is difficult to get close to.
.
But only in front of Lin Mo, she took off all her disguises. The mask called "arrogant and cold" was casually thrown aside, and her face melted like an iceberg, turning into spring rain and ice springs to nourish the earth.
Thousands of things eventually turn into magnificent flowers and smile.
No matter how hard your heart is and your love is as steel, you will probably succumb to this endless tenderness. No one can refuse such a relative who cares for you wholeheartedly.
Lin Mo was no exception. He looked at Xu Wanxue and saw those gentle eyes filled with expectations as bright as stars.
This seemed to be the first time Xu Wanxue had shown such an expression to him in so long.
But in the end, Lin Mo avoided his eyes, looked at the brightly lit Night City in the distance, calmed down and said firmly:
"I'm sorry, sister, I also have things I have to do. The persona of a good boy doesn't suit me after all."
After coming to this world for sixteen years, he understood what he wanted, what he wanted to do and was willing to persist in doing it.
Xu Wanxue's expectant eyes gradually became lonely, as if the sun was setting and its brilliance was obscured by gray clouds.
She followed Lin Mo's line of sight and looked at the night city, and the light of those eye-catching neon lights reflected in her dark eyes.
Ever since, colorful lights lit up in Wushen's eyes, reflecting her dark eyes, and she suddenly seemed to understand some of Lin Mo's thoughts.
"Yeah?"
She murmured softly, slowly held Lin Mo's head in her arms, and silently closed her eyes.
Lin Mo followed her hand and leaned into her arms without resistance.
"But you can't let my sister worry. I heard you called the SSI security force. I didn't know how panicked I felt at that time. I guess I won't feel that panic even if I get fired from the company in the future."
Xu Wanxue spoke quietly, and in the middle of speaking she slowly knelt down, holding Lin Mo's face in her hands, staring at him with tenderness in her eyes.
She said as if pleading:
"Lin Mo, promise me not to do stupid things in the future. The City of Night is an invisible abyss with a dazzling light shining below. People try to go down to seize the treasure at the bottom and become famous overnight, but they can't see the abyss.
The piles of bones at the bottom will not remember the lessons of the mistakes and falls of our predecessors."
"As long as you live a healthy life, sister can promise you anything!"
"Anything? Including supporting my dream?" Lin Mo's eyes moved slightly.
Xu Wanxue laughed suddenly, as if she agreed to Lin Mo, but also seemed to be comforting herself.
"If you insist on doing that, as a sister, what ability do I have to stop you..."
She finally made a decision, stood up straight, and the expression and demeanor on her face transformed back into that of the all-powerful vice president in the company.
She looked at Night City proudly, her hand still resting on Lin Mo's shoulder. She looked at Lin Mo again for a long time, her eyes turned softly and she smiled softly:
"If my brother wants to wear military uniforms and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, then as my sister, I will naturally buy you the best armor and uniforms, prepare the best horses and weapons in the world, and let you come back alive!"
Before she could realize the meaning of this sentence, Xu Wanxue suddenly walked into the villa, leaving Lin Mo with a confused look on his face.
A minute later, she came back, with a bunch of keys on her jade-like fingers.
With a hint of a reminiscing smile on her lips, Xu Wanxue finally held the key in her hand and threw it in the direction of Lin Mo, who caught it with both hands blankly.
"After I confiscated all your small bases, based on my understanding of you, I expected that such a day would come, so I prepared two plans at that time. One of them was to sell all your junk things.
Then put on the best for you."
Xu Wanxue leaned on the frame of the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony, looking sideways at the swimming pool on the balcony. The crescent moon in the sky was reflected in the pool, and the breeze made ripples like sound waves, blowing her long hair slowly.
Lin Mo was stunned, looking down at the key in his palm, feeling as if he was holding the key to the king's secret treasure.
After the small base he built himself was discovered, Xu Wanxue was indeed angry and sealed it with a seal. The seal said "Anyone who enters will be punished by deducting all pocket money."
There are only two people living in the house, and one of them wrote this note. It is obvious who he is targeting.
After that, he had no choice but to pack his bags and go to school, and never came near that small base again.
"What's inside?" Lin Mo blinked, with countless guesses rising in his mind.
"You can take a guess." Xu Wanxue let it slip with a smile.
Lin Mo shook his head decisively, "I can't guess."
So Xu Wanxue came over with a happy expression and touched Lin Mo's hair. Seeing her brother's deflated appearance, she seemed very happy.
She recalled it for a while, counted them one by one on her fingers:
"Kangtao's latest Long's exoskeleton armor, a box of military equipment that I took away from the company, several boxes of ammunition, a platinum membership contract for the trauma team that becomes effective as long as you sign your name, one for you
The Sword in the Stone for daily travel, and a Chevrolet Emperor 720 for when you get into trouble..."
"I also bought you an AV-4 aerial vehicle produced in the 1940s. Don't think it's too old. The price of the latest aerial vehicle is calculated in hundreds of millions. I can't afford it even if you sell me.
Several cars.”
"I haven't prepared a prosthetic body for you. I don't want you to become a monster like those cyberpsychotics. You can consider biological implants. I'll call Scandinavia another day. The biological components there are
The best in the world.”
Lin Mo's eyes widened and his mouth opened in an "O" shape in surprise. He never expected that Xu Wanxue would consider this for him.
This was more than just doting, it was a vast sea of molasses and cream. Not to mention drowning him alone, even a few more people would drown under this kind of love several times.
Although it is not a big problem to buy these equipment with the hidden funds he has accumulated over the years, many of the equipment Xu Wanxue prepared for him cannot be bought even if he has money.
If nothing else, let’s talk about the AV-4 floating car.
Although it is an antique floating car that has been active on the historical stage in the 1920s, it is impossible to buy it without a price of hundreds or tens of millions on the market, and it also requires a certain status and channels to buy it!
"Sister, how much did you spend on so many things?" Lin Mo couldn't help but swallowed.
"It's tens of millions, not much. It's less than 100 million. I purchased a lot of equipment through the company's channels. It's quite cheap. The floating car is the most expensive." Xu Wanxue said without caring much.
Lin Mo:......
He still knows something about Xu Wanxue's annual salary, which is 30 million.
She was rich, but having so many things probably wiped out her savings for a year or two.
Suddenly, Lin Mo finally remembered why his top-notch prosthetic body was targeted by the scavenger during his first [Life Simulation].
Damn it, there is such a sister, not to mention scumbags like the scavengers, who carries around tens of millions of prosthetic bodies, who wouldn't be jealous of her?
Seeing Lin Mo hesitating and not knowing what to say, Xu Wanxue smiled and pulled back her long hair that was blown by the evening breeze. She noticed that the wind was a little noisy tonight, so her eyes lit up with blue light and connected to the regional network in the villa.
.
A ring-shaped glass curtain wall slowly rises from the edge of the large balcony to block the random night wind, eventually forming a hemispherical glass cover to cover the balcony.
Above the night sky, the stars are still bright.
"Sister... why are you so nice to me?" After a long silence, Lin Mo could only hold back this sentence.
From his point of view, he understands Xu Wanxue's doting on him. The past experiences between the two have also demonstrated the fact that "Xu Wanxue loves Lin Mo" countless times. Many times between them, just one look is often needed.
Can understand the other person's thoughts.
Just like today's crime, Lin Mo knew very well that Xu Wanxue was worried about his safety, not the trivial matter of being late when he came back, but he just wanted to beat him to death because he didn't want to give in.
But until now, Lin Mo discovered that Xu Wanxue's doting on him once again refreshed his world view.
He spent tens of millions of equipment just to help his brother fulfill his wishes and dreams... This love was too heavy and extravagant, and Lin Mo didn't know how to respond.
"It doesn't matter, I don't plan to fall in love in this life anyway, and I don't need to care about the elderly people at home. I have to find a place to spend so much money. I'm usually busy and don't have time to accompany you, so I can only
Spend some money to make up for it." Xu Wanxue didn't take it seriously.
Lin Mo sighed again. He didn't know how many times he sighed tonight. After pondering for a few seconds, he suddenly thought of another question.
"Sister, you said you prepared two plans? What about the other plan?" He suddenly realized the second plan Xu Wanxue had just mentioned.
What do you mean, could it be that Xu Wanxue has paved two life paths for him in the future?
"Another plan? Of course, you study honestly, get good grades, and then send you to study abroad in the world's top colleges. In the future, whether you are in politics or working in a company, I will also find my own connections to help you.
Take care of everything." Xu Wanxue chuckled.
She walked up to Lin Mo, stretched out her fingers and flicked his forehead, and said with a slightly complicated expression:
"As a sister, I naturally hope that my brother will take the latter path, but it's a pity that you little brat is very careless."
Company route... Lin Mo's heart was agitated, but he quickly calmed down.
Not a direct descendant, let alone a close associate of some top boss... If you walk down the road, to the end, to the top of the pyramid, you will only see countless people who have already reached it first.
They weave an airtight net, and the rest of the people who climb up will only fall into the trap of the net, be swallowed up, and then be kicked down from the top of the pyramid.
In every company, there is one rule that overrides all laws:
Dedicate absolute loyalty to the company, never harm the company's interests, and never betray the company.
This kind of power, which can be called the highest level, will make countless people flock to it. It will also make countless people regard the company as more important than their own children in order to maintain this kind of power.
Lin Mo looked at Xu Wanxue, who was leaning against the door rail of the floor-to-ceiling window, with incomprehensible confusion in her eyes.
I am afraid that only his sister will regard him as more important than the company.
"But that doesn't mean freedom after all, sister. In fact, I would rather you spend your days at home peacefully and leisurely, instead of working overtime every day and night." Lin Mo said in a low tone.
"You, you really don't know how valuable firewood and rice are!" Xu Wanxue reached out and flicked his forehead again.
"How can I support a gold-eating beast like you if I don't go to work?"
Lin Mo was speechless for a moment.
Although he currently has a lot of money hidden in his net worth, there is no denying the fact that Xu Wanxue did get this money to provide starting capital.
"Although the company will usurp your freedom, what you will gain will be power over countless people, as well as the stable life pursued by countless people... Isn't this better than becoming that broken legend?" Xu Wanxue whispered.
.
Lin Mo remained silent, finally stood up from the chair, walked slowly to the wooden railing, and looked at the night city under the mountains shrouded in the moonlit night.
No matter how many times you watch it, the Night City at night is always stunningly gorgeous.
Like a sun blooming in darkness.
But Lin Mo knew very well the endless shadows under the sun.
"Sister, I didn't spend eight years with you, but lived a hard life on Twisted Street." He suddenly said in a nonsensical way.
"I know, but the days are still long in the future. When we are all a hundred years old, eight years will only be eight years. Compared with the period of a hundred years, it will not account for much."
Xu Wanxue walked behind him silently, wanting to hug him like before, but when she walked behind him, she was shocked to find that Lin Mo was already half a head taller than him.
If she were still hugged like this, she would be leaning on Lin Mo's back like a little woman.
"But these eight years are like half my life to me now. Sister, if I can really live to be a hundred years old, it will be a bit monotonous to only have memories with you in these long years.
"
"These eight years have made me realize that people in Night City, no matter what position you hold, they only call you company dog."
"But there is an exception to one type of people, and that is people like Saburo Arasaka. The world no longer calls them company dogs, but calls them emperors in fear. Their children are princes and princesses... This world has changed
There is an emperor, and if you go up to the throne, it will be disobedience and rebellion!"
Lin Mo strengthened his hands, gripped the railing tightly, and looked far away. His words seemed like he was reciting an epic poem, or like a devil singing to tempt the world, tempting Xu Wanxue to believe his words.
"But on the other road, there is still a lack of another kind of people. This road is paved with shadows. On both sides are cemeteries where bones and innocent souls are buried. There is no sunshine in the sky and bitter rain falls. When you reach the end of the road,
Legend, in front of you is the Unknown Tomb, but if you take one step further...
"That's the sun!" Lin Mo said slowly.
Taking the road to the company, you try your best to climb up, but when you see the vast sky, there will still be people above you pressing on your head.
But if you are walking on the edge of the world, then you will be in the shadows and no one can see you. You can step onto the throne in the shadow world.
It is the ultimate shadow, the opposite of the extremely bright light.
And the extremely bright light brings the ultimate shadow, which is the sun!

PS: Off topic.
When writing this plot, the author sincerely felt that the protagonist's behavior was like a kid from a rich family suddenly having a funny brain and telling his parents that his dream was to work in Shuliya...
Also: In view of the speechless economic system in the Jackass game, the author of this article’s economic system referred to anime and various setting collections, as well as related plots in the game, so there shouldn’t be any problems... maybe?
Anyway, if you choose to start as a company dog in the game, you can see the personal information of Special Operations Director-Abernathy in the chip provided by your boss, which contains her deposit information (although you can only see it for one second)
Her personal savings are more than 7 million yuan. Considering that foreigners are not used to saving and live in a "precarious" place like Night City, she can have more than 7 million yuan in savings. Her annual salary is basically no less than 1,000 yuan.
Thousands of them.
Therefore, Xu Wanxue's annual salary of 30 million is quite reasonable in the author's opinion. In this world view, the poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer.
The so-called 250,000 for a moon travel ticket may be, as David said, "quite cheap."
In addition, you can also find the box office revenue of a movie in the game, with a daily income of 30 to 40 million euros. I don’t know what blockbuster it is. Anyway, the text says that someone plays the role of a gorilla... (No wonder the black people are trafficked.
