In the cement factory, he was exhausted from diving into the battle against the sandstorm.
"Sleep, sleep quickly, cover the quilt..."
After saying this in a daze, his head drooped slightly and he fell asleep.
But the left hand still silently grasped the corner of the blanket, preventing it from slipping off Mowell's body.
V looked at the two of them, and then at Panan who had no reaction and began to snore softly, his eyelids seemed to be several times heavier, his eyes were sour, and finally fell into the darkness.
The storm outside the house is still howling, and inside the house, there is only a "humming" stove that radiates soft light and heat into the air.
A long night without dreams.
Chapter 71 There is a hint of poverty in the smile
"..."
Luo Qi closed his eyes and moved his eyelashes slightly.
He felt something moving around him, so he turned over and tightened the blanket around him.
But the hard and cold touch under his body still woke him up from his sleep.
Last night's sleep was not comfortable, even a little painful.
This is not at home.
Realizing this, Luo Qi suddenly opened his eyes, looking dimly at the warm sun coming in from outside the door, and Mowell who was sitting quietly beside him.
"Huh? Blanket? What time is it? What's on me? What are you covering?"
Rocky sat up quickly and looked at Mowell, the blanket slipping from his shoulders.
Then the late sourness hit his body.
The neck, back, shoulders, and head were so stiff it was painful.
But fortunately, he was still covered with a blanket, so at least he didn't catch a cold.
"I woke up earlier than you." Mowell said softly, then stretched out his hands and gently rubbed his shoulders, "Panan and the others have already left, V said to wait for you, I told him to go back first .”
Luo Qi took out his PDA and saw that the time had come to the early ten o'clock, which was the time for the sun to bask in his buttocks.
It's embarrassing to sleep until disconnected because of being too tired, but it is indeed inevitable.
"Um……"
After solving the matter of Adekado, Luo Qi closed his eyes in relaxation, yawned deeply, and then leaned softly into Mowell's arms under Mowell's massage.
Hadabo outside the door had stopped at some point, and the bad land was still that bad land, shining brightly under the sunlight, with a suffocating desolate beauty.
Although the outside of the city has already exceeded Delaman's service area, but for the sake of the "excellence" package, Lao De still sent a car over.
Although the waiting time was longer, at least the two of them didn't have to go back on their legs.
"Hey, Lucky! I heard from V that you are done?"
A phone call came in. Luo Qi saw that it was Jack, and answered it without thinking. A loud voice with "hahaha" sound effect came from the other end immediately.
As soon as Luo Qi said "yes" while yawning, Jack couldn't wait to continue.
"I happened to be helping the priest with something. It was a critical moment and I couldn't spare time, otherwise I would definitely go there."
He said with great regret, "Hey, let's not talk about this, are you free today? I invite you to drink as compensation, hehehe..."
Luo Qi raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "What? Work for the priest and get rich?"
"Get rich? Come on, mano (brother)." Jack smiled with relief. "Get rich? Get rich overnight? Maybe I used to have such a dream, but Dexter taught me a good lesson. "
"Working for a priest, although you don't earn a lot, it's still a lot. Of course, the most important thing is to be reliable~" Jack chuckled, "You and V have only been in Night City for half a year, but I'm here Heywood has been around for so many years, and I have a good idea of whether the priest is reliable."
As one of Heywood's best intermediaries, the priest is Luo Qi and V, the first intermediary they contacted after Jack came to Night City - under the leadership of Jack.
After living in this neighborhood for many years, the mercenaries and even middlemen around him have changed one after another. Only the priest has a firm foothold and has a growing reputation.
In the eyes of some people, the priest is as ruthless as Westbrook's Okada Wakako.
And guess what his real job is?
Community Pastor!
I didn't expect it.
He once said in a chat with Luo Qi and the others after doing business that he watched Jack grow up.And Jack's mother, Mrs. Wells, is an old acquaintance of the priest.
Who is Heywood not to mess with?
Mrs. Wells who runs the Coyote Bar is one.
Who is more difficult to mess with Heywood?
The priest who sat in Mrs. Wells's bar, the Wolf, was one of them.
That's what I mean.
At first, Luo Qi thought he was just a second-hand dealer selling stolen goods, but later found that the priest was simply a Doraemon of the Heywood mercenaries.
That is, from the priest, Luo Qi first learned the concept of "middleman".
Regardless of his age, he is well-dressed, like an old gentleman.Jack secretly told him that the priest's body was covered with dense tattoos, definitely not the kind of gaudy stuff, but serious hard-core tattoos.
For example, which famous rival was slaughtered, or how many people in his family were killed.They were all tattooed on their bodies, which could be called Heywood's "death registration form" for some years, with the names of countless people who called the wind and rain on the streets hung on it.
This reminded Luo Qi of another person.
Victor Vector.
Old Vic is not just a talent recruited by many large companies such as biotechnology.
V once dug out an award certificate in his basement.

Lao Wei, who didn't have any implants installed, made it all the way to the finals.
You must know that the act of adding prosthetic bodies has been common as early as the beginning of the 21st century.
There are really many old monsters in Night City.
Sometimes Luo Qi often pops up such an idea inexplicably, because the facts always spare no effort to provide evidence to support this conclusion.
"Okay, then we'll see you later." Luo Qi agreed to Jack's invitation, "To be honest, there is no need to count on Relic, but when you think about it carefully, we are now considered to be the best, and it is not easy."
"Así es!"
Jack agrees with this very much, "First the priest, Wakako, then Regina, the old captain, and then the most awesome Rogge, now in the entire Night City, we can get in touch with almost all the middlemen."
From Watson District to Heywood, from Westbrook to Coronado Farm, except for the messy Pacific Island, all the middlemen who can be counted already know that there is such a group of good mercenaries.
Especially Rogge, the long-term cooperation with them is the envy of many people in this industry.
"Speaking of which, how are you and Rogge doing? That's a real master, just leaking a little bit through your fingers is enough for us to eat."
Jack has been cooperating with the priest these days, and has been separated from Luo Qi for some time, so he inquired.
"How else can it be?"
Thinking of that old woman, Luo Qi couldn't help but want to roll his eyes, "I'm working, and I'm always treated as my little brother, but the entrustment is not too small, and I even asked someone to help me build my own brand or something."
"Huh! Chingón!"
Hearing this, Jack was shocked and almost rushed into the ditch with his motorcycle.
"Do you know what this means!? You've made a fortune!"
Luo Qi, who was a little bit big-headed by Jack's surprise, rubbed his temples: "It's not that exaggerated. Simply put, Roger intends to take me to do work. To be honest, we used to be small , and now it’s time to enter.”
This is not Versailles, but the truth from the bottom of my heart.
Before reaching a certain scale, the job of the mercenaries is to lick blood.
As for the result?
It's barely enough to get enough food and clothing.
Just look at the residents in the super skyscrapers.
No matter how bad this kind of skyscraper slum is, it is better than living on the streets or finding an unfinished or dangerous building to be a "cyber caveman".
People who don't have any stable income really don't have the money to rent such a place to live.
V is already considered to be the master of money, but the monthly income, after paying the fixed expenses such as rent, deducting the messy food expenses and daily expenses, there is not much left.
I want to update my implants, so that I can rely on them more when fighting for my life on the street, and I have to save money for a long time.
In a critical moment, we can only rely on the help of Lao Wei.
V owed [-] euros there, which really piled up in half a year.
Originally, he wanted to get rich by stealing Arasaka Laixuan's relic, but he almost died suddenly without a vote. If it wasn't for Rogge's business going online, let alone paying back the money, he wouldn't even have the rent.
Even if the family had a little money, and his mother owned the Wolf Bar, Jack still lived in his own small garage-one room for parking and another room for living.
Except that there is no lighting, it is quite warm.
The three of them all depended on the guys at hand to earn money.
If they can't even get along with being a mercenary, then they are really going to be the lowest level rat people.
"You and Rogge are on the same line. I'm here with the priest, and I'm short of V." Jack stopped the motorcycle, found a clean place, and broke off seriously, "It seems that the day is really busy. It’s just that retirement is still far away.”
"V? That guy hangs out well with Ardecardo's wanderers."
Luo Qi said, "V and I used to be in this line of work, and we are familiar with the road. Besides, we can't let him be alone. Let me tell you, you can play around a little bit, and don't blah in front of V's face."
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly..."
Jack urged in his distinctive voice, "Let me guess? Is that... Panam?"
"Good instincts, mano (brother)."
I wanted to make a fool of myself, but I didn’t expect Jack to guess right. Although it’s not a difficult guess, especially since he specifically mentioned the word “lonely family”, it’s hard not to think of it. On the girl.
"Panan Palmer, you've seen people from Ardecado, and now he's hanging out in Night City by himself." Luo Qi said, "Guess what? In order to help her, V called me and Suzi coming."
"Ha, so that's what happened!"
Jack suddenly realized that V had also approached him because of this before, "Help my sister~ Don't be shabby!"
"V called me, and it went well. It seems that today I have to find a good place to celebrate for you."
"Um, okay."
Luo Qi smiled faintly, approving this plan that suits him very much.
He was really tired and needed to relax, eat something good, drink something good, talk and spank, and finally go back to the clean apartment with Mowell for a nice catch-up sleep, which is not too comfortable.
In Night City, anyone can enjoy a top-notch experience like no other.
But for the money spent on it, you have to figure out your own way.
"Hey Jack..."
After laughing for a while, Luo Qi suddenly made a sound, and his voice was slightly lower.
"Have you considered...retiring?"
ha?What is the problem?
Listening to Luo Qi's words, Jack was stunned for a moment: "What? Retire?"
"That's right, retirement."
Luo Qi looked at the scenery receding from the window, and leaned himself on the soft seat.
"Retirement", in Night City, is as extravagant a word as "old age and death".
"Brothers have worked so hard to get to where we are today, wouldn't it be a pity to just give up like this?" Jack was puzzled, "Lucky, did something happen to you? Don't hide it, say it, My buddy will support you to the end, unconditionally."
