Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 21 Jingu Temple

early morning.

Gloria is busy at home wearing an apron, still wearing the wearable yellow cyber jacket, with the iconic red ponytail coiled behind her head, but a slight smile on her face shows her mood not bad.

She got up early today to make David a hot breakfast.

Often because she is busy with several jobs, she usually has no time to prepare breakfast for David. She usually asks David to get some energy bars and drink some functional drinks to solve the problem.

In fact, this is also the state of life of most Night City residents, relying on technological food produced by biotechnology companies to supplement their nutrition.

Therefore, Gloria's breakfast is not considered rich. It just heats and processes the ingredients produced by the company, sprinkles some synthetic seasonings, and a few good-looking breakfasts are ready.

David rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked out of the bedroom. He had already put on the uniform of Arasaka Academy. When he walked into the living room, he found that Gloria was preparing food on the induction cooker. A bit of burnt meat aroma.

David, who had fainted and been hungry for nearly two days, immediately felt the cravings in his stomach. He sat down at the desk decisively and began to eat. He asked, "Mom, how do you make breakfast today?"

Seeing that David regained his energy and appetite, Gloria naturally felt more comfortable. She felt that the bad days had passed for too long, and it had been a long time since she had never been with David like this today. She reached out and touched He touched David's head and didn't speak.

David felt that today's mother seemed to have suddenly become a little strange. Not only did she make breakfast, but her attitude towards herself was no longer as impatient as before, and even the corners of her mouth were always smiling.

He clearly remembered that he was reprimanded when he pointed to the TV news to ask his mother that morning. In his opinion, being able to be on the news TV was also a very interesting new thing, but his mother didn't think so and felt that he was meddlesome.

However, David finished his breakfast quickly, and then immediately stood up and prepared to go to Arasaka Academy to go to school.

"Mom, then I'm leaving, just..."

The reason for his hesitation was that he didn't know if the academy's compensation issue had been settled.

Gloria stopped David and said, "I've asked you for leave today, don't go to college, I'll take you to the city center to buy two clothes."

"what?!"

When David heard Gloria say that he was going to the city center to buy two clothes, he also looked back at his mother with his mouth wide open. In his memory, his mother seemed to have never bought any clothes, and she always wore that yellow dress. Cyberjacket, not to mention shopping downtown.

Did you hear it wrong?

David stared blankly at his mother, trying to confirm if it was an auditory hallucination, but he saw that his mother looked at him with a puzzled face instead, and he was a little confused about the current situation.

"Didn't our family pay the rent yet?"

Gloria looked at David with a look of incomprehension about buying a new dress, and then said quite logically: "The friend who came yesterday has already paid a month's rent, after all, he broke our house. For the door of the apartment, more compensation should be paid."

David was even more unbelievable. He even called the group of people who broke into his house like bandits friends. He expressed disbelief that he couldn't understand.

"friend?!"

Gloria still looked at David normally, and continued to talk.

"That's right, it was just a small misunderstanding last night. The apartment door has already been called to the property to fix it. In addition, Mr. Tang's deal with them was very successful. This time I made a good fortune!"

Last night, after discussing the cooperation between Mann and Tang Yu, he immediately transferred the money to Gloria's account, and completed the transaction as originally agreed.

David expressed his helplessness. Even though he is only 17 years old now, it is obvious that the group of cyberpunks last night were not easy to mess with, but his mother Gloria still fooled him like a child, so he was a little discouraged said.

"Okay, then I won't go to school today, but why did you suddenly think of buying clothes?"

Gloria said almost without hesitation: "Because today we are going to pay a formal visit to a very important person."

David quickly guessed without blinking his eyes: "It's Mr. Tang?"

Although he knew that Tang Yu was a high-level executive of the Arasaka company, judging from the fact that the other party rescued his mother and himself in the most desperate time, he was very grateful from the bottom of his heart, but it was difficult to say it so bluntly.

Gloria looked as if you were really smart, and nodded in praise: "David, you are really getting more and more sensible. Thank you for meeting us this time and we have to try to be as formal as possible, so it's obviously not okay to dress like you are now. Go buy a better one." What do you think is the clothes you wear?"

She tugged at the corner of the yellow cyber jacket on her body, looked back and forth, her brows revealed a little dissatisfaction, it was issued to her when she was working in a public medical center, and she could wear it normally, but not at all on formal occasions suitable.

David sighed helplessly.
Jingu Temple.

This is a clothing store located in the central business district next to the company square. It mainly deals in high-end luxury clothing for men. Its business scope includes finished product sales, private customization, tailor-made tailoring, etc. It is very popular among successful professionals and second-generation wealthy backgrounds. favorite.

When David was brought by Gloria to the gate of Jinguji Temple, his expression was even more exaggerated. He was studying at Arasaka Academy, and even if he had time, he rarely visited the downtown area because of the money spent here. The targets are all rich people in Night City, why bother with your wallet?
David looked up and saw the name of the store above the store, with JINGUJI and a string of Japanese engraved on it.

"Mom, are you sure we want to buy clothes here?"

Gloria felt that David might not let go because he was used to poverty, so she said in an encouraging tone: "As long as you have money to buy clothes, there is nothing you can't get in, even if you don't buy clothes, it doesn't matter. Besides, you If you join Arasaka Tower in the future, you will also be a frequent visitor here, so let’s go in and get to know it in advance!”

So Gloria pushed David through the glass door and walked into the Jinguji clothing luxury store. When she came to the front desk, she saw a dark-skinned receptionist wearing a high-end embossed single-breasted suit. The product is crisp and crisp, and there is black silk and a golden brooch pinned to the breast pocket, which is quite extravagant.

Gloria whispered to David: "Look, even the waiters are dressed so classily."

David just felt a little embarrassed. Compared with the clothes of the waiter, the jacket he was wearing did not match the luxurious atmosphere around him.

But Gloria was still chatty and chatted with the waiter, gesturing about the style and body size of the suit she needed to buy.

Maybe it's because the waiter's service awareness and quality are good. He introduced the clothing carefully and carefully throughout the whole process. He kept a polite smile from the beginning to the end. He didn't see the store bullying or impatient at all. The communication with Gloria was also very good. Very pleasant, even talking and laughing.

Under the leadership of the waiter, David followed Gloria to the clothing store absent-mindedly, and suddenly found that the prices of these clothes were not marked, so he casually pointed to a suit he thought was the best looking and asked.

"Hello, I would like to ask what is the price of this dress?"

The waiter immediately turned around to answer David's questions.

"Hello, sir, your vision is really good. This checkerboard suit jacket is priced at [-] euros. Now this dress is recommended by our store, so there is no discount, but for you The size may be too large, if I have to recommend it, I suggest you try it.”

David was suddenly at a loss for words, and his ears didn't catch a word other than twelve thousand euro gold.

Instead, Gloria, who was on the side, saw the single-style suit jacket and immediately made a decision.

"David, you have a good eye!"

"Let's choose this one!"
