David stared blankly at Lin Mo pointing at him. After realizing that the latter was not joking, he couldn't help but froze.
At this time, his mood was like that of the goblin who was assigned to kill Tang Monk's master and apprentice in "Journey to the West". In addition to the flattered fear, there was only doubt in his heart: "How can I do such a thing?"
Mann on the side also looked at David sitting in the next seat in surprise, subconsciously thinking that he had made a mistake. Did this kid have any special abilities that he didn't know about?
He was not surprised that V was chosen.
Although all the members of the team have not had the opportunity to work with V, when V first came to the city, Lin Mo's high regard for V also made everyone pay close attention to this girl from out of town.
It has been some time since V came to Night City, and the various achievements she has made during this period have also perfectly explained what it means to be a born top marginal person, and perfectly demonstrated what it means to "sit in the universe"
"Spaceship-style" strength improvement.
The living king of hell in the hacker world - this is Mann's evaluation of V after learning about her terrifying strength.
In a sense, she is the second "Lin Mo". The growth rate of these two guys' strength is terrifying. They are like two monsters in human skin, killing people in just centiseconds!
With a talent of this caliber, it would be strange if she was not selected.
It makes sense that Johnny Silverhand would be chosen. After all, he was a "legend" in the old days. How could he be inactive and willing to be a nobody now that he was reborn in his second life?
But David's selection was beyond everyone's expectations.
"Um...Lin Mo, have you made a mistake? What qualifications do I have to occupy one of these three places?" David asked with a somewhat unnatural expression.
Although he has now become the leader of the team and enjoys a lot of reputation in the afterlife bar, to be honest, he is just a fringe person who has made a name for himself.
He has some strength, but compared with V and Lin Mo, this strength is not worth mentioning;
He has some reputation, but compared with the two legends Johnny Silverhand and "Ink Shadow", his reputation is not worth mentioning.
In this situation, what if he were to be one of the only three "suns"...?
"Don't doubt yourself, David, be confident. If I say you can do it, you can do it." Lin Mo smiled and raised his hands, clenching his fists in a cheering gesture.
"Confidence is a good thing, but if you are too confident, you are arrogant." David shook his head with a wry smile.
He is no longer the stupid young man he once was, let alone the ignorant young man who stayed at Arasaka Academy. Naturally, he will not be fooled by a few compliments.
Objectively speaking, he is indeed not qualified to appear on the same stage as Johnny and V.
Lin Mo didn't care about his feelings, but smiled and mentioned another thing:
"Do you still remember when I first came back to Night City...when we met for the first time in more than half a year?"
"Did it take so long..." David lowered his head and recalled for a while, and couldn't help but put a smile on his face: "I think about it, the two of us seemed to have held a small competition that day. The content of the competition should be to compare each other.
Faster?"
"Yes, although I should have won in the end, I also promised you that I would give you a mysterious gift... Now, it's time to cash in on this gift." Lin Mo said.
Snap your fingers.
After a while, the sound of a pulley rolling across the floor suddenly sounded in the hall on the second floor.
Everyone looked around and saw a beautiful woman with a smile silently dragging a trolley.
Inside the trolley, countless precision firearms and powerful heavy weapons filled the entire space, like treasure boxes filled with property and jewelry, causing everyone to subconsciously widen their eyes and carefully observe the objects on the trolley.
"Mom, why are you here?" David looked stunned.
In order not to disturb everyone, Gloria, as a mother, naturally did not participate in such gatherings.
After all, for David, these people at the conference table are all his friends and colleagues. If his mother were to appear on this occasion, he would feel more or less reserved.
Therefore, David never thought that his mother would actually appear in today's "script".
"Of course I leave these things to you..." Gloria smiled sweetly, and soon the look in her eyes gradually became meaningful.
"These things?" David looked blankly at the weapons and weapons in the cart.
"Your mother spent a lot of money to purchase military equipment from Hansen. These weapons and equipment from Dog Town are often much stronger than the firearms on the market, and many of them are contraband that is prohibited from circulation." Lin Mo smiled slightly:
"So the equipment assistance this time is not me helping you for free, but your mother's wish."
David was a little dazed, as if he couldn't figure out why his mother suddenly did this.
But before he could ask any questions, Gloria put the cart aside.
The electronically automated trolley stayed in place smoothly, and the armament on it shone with a dazzling luster, like a golden eye.
"David, feel free to do it boldly..." Gloria smiled softly, came to David and patted his shoulder, speaking in a gentle tone:
"Although it is a bit different from my past wishes, one thing is certain now. You have become a child that I can be proud of. You are excellent and work hard, so you don't have to feel that you are worthy or unworthy."
of."
"In my heart, you deserve everything in this world..."
After hearing his mother's words, David was moved, but he also inevitably felt a little embarrassed.
"Mom, you'd better stop talking, everyone is watching here..." He whispered helplessly to Gloria.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing this, Gloria also understood that now was not the occasion for deep love between mother and child, so she looked at Lin Mo and nodded towards the boy.
Before leaving, she patted David on the shoulder again, left a few words of encouragement, and left.
"Lin Mo, are these the gifts you are talking about?" Looking at the equipment on the trolley, Mann couldn't help but feel a little interested.
Lin Mo shook his head:
"No, as I said just now, this is the work of Uncle...David's mother. At best, I am just a bridge between the two parties in the transaction process. The real gift is actually David's mother's expectation and approval."
Mann mused.
Lin Mo continued:
"David, I understand what you have been worried about all this time. It is nothing more than the worries of your family. At the same time, you also mistakenly thought that your mother did not approve of you... After all, when we were classmates, your wish was to join Arasaka.
company..."
"You actually remember." David said with a smile.
It has been so long, and if Lin Mo hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten that his previous wish was to join Arasaka Company and become a company employee.
But... time flies so fast.
"From a student to a mature marginalized person, it only takes about half a year. Compared with V, you are still far behind at this speed, but from the perspective of an ordinary person, you
You can be proud of yourself." Lin Mo said lightly:
"So, just like Ms. Gloria said, it doesn't matter whether you are worthy or not. Why can't ordinary people become the sun?"
Ordinary people...?
David woke up with a start, as if a blessing came to his mind and he suddenly had some enlightenment.
Yes, if you want to ask what is the difference between him, V, and Johnny, there is no doubt that they are "ordinary".
He is not like V, who has the world-class talent that is proud of her; nor is he like Johnny Silverhand, who has his unique charm and legendary experience.
He is just an ordinary person with relatively good talents. If placed in the secret laboratories of some large companies, he is just a "premium grade" consumable that is hard to find. It is incomparable to "legendary" consumables such as Adam's Hammer.
However, precisely because he is ordinary, he is not as "distant" and "out of reach" as V or Johnny.
"As I said before, the 'sun' is an identity and a symbol of the future of this city, and all of this requires you to prove yourself and show your light and heat to the world." Lin Mo continued:
"So what we have to do is to make a mockumentary, get your respective scripts, and then show the first half of your life to ordinary people around the world!"
In the next few minutes, Lin Mo once again told everyone about the "Super Dream Documentary" plan he had told Lai Xuan and Knight (Chapter 428).
"...We can fabricate some content appropriately in the film, but we cannot violate the tone of the documentary. For example, it is impossible for me to fabricate Johnny's past life experiences in the documentary. After all, all the bad things he has done are
It’s verifiable, so all we can do is make up some details that the public doesn’t know.”
David's eyes became clearer, and he subconsciously asked:
"So, my 'ordinaryness' is my unique characteristic?"
"That's right." Lin Mo snapped his fingers and looked at David with a slightly approving expression:
"Just like Johnny Silverhand, even if he is a legend who has passed away, his deeds will eventually be eulogized in the mouths of marginalized people... In the same way, 'The Sun' must do something spectacular in order to show his respect to
Show light and heat to the world and let the world remember his deeds."
At this time, Lin Mo slowly took out three documents from the desk drawer and sent them to V, Johnny and David one by one.
The others who were silent and eating the melon also moved their heads curiously, wanting to see what was written on the document paper.
Since he was sitting relatively close to V, Jack immediately saw what was written on the top of V's document:
[Solo Arasaka Tower script, key content: invincibility, eliminate fear, any enemy is a paper tiger...]
"Damn it, you're so fierce, you actually let V run to Ganhuang Ban Tower alone, don't you think you've tricked her enough?" Jack said, pretending to be shocked.
Since he was relatively close, V naturally heard Jack's complaints.
She blinked her eyes and looked at the plan on the document paper. She had no disturbance in her heart. Instead, she was more concerned about Jack's subconscious remarks just now.
"Trick?" V turned his head, repeated the word, and asked curiously: "Has Lin Mo tricked me before?"
Brother Jack still likes to mess around as before... Lin Mo shook his head helplessly.
He didn't think Jack accidentally said the wrong thing.
"Well, if you are just an ordinary marginal person, then he has indeed tricked you many times, but you are special. It is more of an experience than a trick. Lin Mo specifically asked me to take care of you before.
Some of the more difficult tasks will be entrusted to you..." Jack laughed and said:
"At first I thought it was Lin Mo who was deliberately targeting you, but now it seems that he has a keen eye for people. After all, all the commissions given to you have been solved perfectly, and this time is definitely no exception!"
Lin Mo raised his eyebrows, met V's eyes, and the next second he smiled and nodded towards V, indicating that this was all true.
"So that's it..." V suddenly realized. He turned back to look at the documents in his hand, and he already had a lot of ideas and confidence in his heart.
In this way, it seems that her rapid growth in the days since she came to Night City is inseparable from various "experiences".
And is this mission her "final experience"?
After all, she is still young and not a person who can live idle. Even if she becomes a "sun" in the future, she will definitely not retire.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay, let's put aside the irrelevant information first. Now I will introduce the three people's plan and my intention." Lin Mo clapped his hands and let everyone look at him again.
Focus on him.
"First of all, V. The plan I arranged for her is to destroy the armed forces of Arasaka Tower alone. Her symbolic meaning is 'invincible'. As long as she can show her absolute strength in front of the world and defeat the enemy formation alone, all the enemies will be defeated."
People around the world will also understand that the company is not the embodiment of fear, and those big shots will also feel fear and timidity when their death is imminent!"
Lin Mo believes that in the future, anyone who has watched V's personal documentary will definitely experience V's "invincible" power from the Mewtwo film.
In this situation where "people stand in the way of others and kill the people, and Buddhas in the way kill the Buddha", who would still be afraid of the company? Maybe most people would just think that "killing is so exciting".
By then, the company's myth will be completely shattered!
She will break the world's fear of the company, and her solo "deeds script" will also be sung by all those who are willing to resist the company in the future!
"Next is Johnny. The plan I arranged for him is to form a team to attack military technology. His symbolic meaning is 'rebellion'. He rebelled against his old employer. The rebellion used his military technology... He is the first to do heavy work.
The people of the second generation will also tell people all over the world what 'never fades away', and it is never too late to resist!"
Rebellious struggle has always been Johnny's philosophy, and no one is more suitable for this role than him.
He may not be the most powerful, but he is definitely the rock kid who best represents the word "rebellion" in the world!
He will declare to the world the concept of "resisting the company", and the "script of deeds" starring him may also become the "Bible" for corporate rebels!
"The last one is David. The plan I arranged for him is for their entire team to attack European banks. His symbolic meaning is 'ordinary'. He is just an ordinary person with talent, but he can also make a fortune through his own efforts.
A student grows up to be a top fringe person who can defeat bank security, and all the wealth, fame and fortune in the world are at his fingertips!"
Perhaps the deeds of V and Johnny are attractive enough, but it is inevitable that their talents and experiences are difficult to be replicated by others.
The two of them are like the sun high in the sky, shining brightly on the world, but at the same time, there is an inaccessible distance.
And David will be the "closest" sun.
Compared with the other two, he is ordinary enough, but he also explains that an ordinary person can still accomplish great things by himself after getting opportunities and growth!
...
...
"This is the mission of the three suns. When everything is over, the Mewtwo film shot by the three of you will be spread all over the world... and truly become famous all over the world!" Lin Mo concluded calmly.
At this time, everyone present was stunned in their positions.
They thought Lin Mo might play big, but they didn't expect him to play so big.
No wonder he said "Sun" is a more resounding name than "Legend"...
A "real-life superhero biography" about fighting against armed men from various companies, a documentary at the expense of a company building... It is impossible for such a heavyweight Mewtwo film not to become popular around the world.
From now on, the three of them will completely become the "sun", and everyone knows about it... As long as the film still exists, their names will also be heard in the world!
"By the way, have you finished the 'Part 1' that I asked Jack to arrange for you three to shoot in advance?" Lin Mo suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look at the three of them.
"It's all shot, and according to your arrangement, I also sent the original film to Judy Alvarez of the Mox Gang. She is a very good Mewtwo editor." Jack replied.
road.
"That's good." Lin Mo nodded.
"Lin Mo... I want to ask you a question." At this time, V suddenly asked.
"What's the problem?" Lin Mo said.
"You have done so much, just for the three of us... What about yourself?" V couldn't help but ask: "Don't you think about yourself?"
"Me?" Lin Mo smiled slightly and said openly:
"My journey is far from over."
"But before that, let me take a good look at your performance."
