Cyberpunk: Legendary Life - Chapter 250
c245 Postscript 1: Madam’s worries
“Look, what am I talking about? You are no longer a high-ranking company dog. You can’t even find a car watcher when you come out.” When Jack turned around to speak, he opened the door curtain in front of him, and the purple beads made a thunder. There was a snapping sound.
Tang Yu, who was following him, simply smiled and didn’t say much.
Before the two entered the bar, they asked the Mocks sisters on duty at the door if Gloria was free now. Unexpectedly, the other party replied and asked them to move their cars so that they would not block the parking space of the proprietress. Entering the passage.
After being reprimanded inexplicably, Jack smiled happily. If he had come to Lizzie Bar as his good friend Tang Yu in his former capacity, the proprietress must have greeted him in person. How could he be so down-to-earth and deeply experience the authentic customs of Night City.
When entering the room, Jack specially praised: “Sister, this is really delicious. Give my good brother more in the future. In the words of Heywood, it’s so exciting!”
Walking into the inner hall of Lizi, the dim purple immediately filled the sight, mixed with the strong smell of perfume, making the tip of the nose feel a bit uncomfortable.
The two of them sat down in a corner of the inner hall and ordered drinks and snacks.
The waiter informed them that the proprietress was in the basement computer room and asked them to wait a moment.
Jack looked around. Men and women were crowded on the dance floor, dancing with abandon. The circle was full of customers who were just watching Mewtwo movies.
He couldn’t help but sigh: “Liz’s business is really getting better and better. There were not so many people in this area before, and the unit prices of drinks and Mewtwo movies have increased, and the quality is indeed excellent. I have to say that now this The boss lady does have a good way of doing business, but it’s much better than the Suzy Q before.”
After finishing speaking, Jack turned to look at Tang Yu and said with a serious face: “I remember that Gloria seemed to be quite poor at the time. It is not easy to break out in the Night City. You are not working in the company now. Now, we need to maintain this relationship well, and don’t mess up the first time you come to accept a commission.”
He clearly remembered that when he went to the Watson Whirlpool Gang to do errands, Gloria was still with Tang Yu.
Coupled with the gifts Tang Yu told him to send, Jack judged that the relationship between Tang Yu and Gloria must be quite deep.
Tang Yu took a sip of wine, nodded slightly and said with a smile: “That’s right, I will have to rely on the boss lady from now on.”
Today he and Jack came to Lizzie Bar not to experience happiness, but to pick up some work from Gloria.
After resigning from the company, Tang Yu had to rely on his own hands to work hard to get rich. Although soft rice is delicious, if you keep it in your mouth, it will be troublesome to cause trouble in the future.
After sitting for a while, Tang Yu had nothing to do and decided to tease V.
The last time the fight was over, the two were rolling around in the ring and playing stranglehold. They were inseparable in a very strange posture. In the end, the referee couldn’t bear to watch anymore and had to declare a draw.
[Tang Yu: Tell me when you miss me, okay? Don’t damage your newly made nails. 】
[V: Hehe, even if I play with my nails and get discolored, I won’t bother you, unless you dare to lend me your head! 】
[Tang Yu: Unkempt, frosted to the touch. 】
V: “.”
After being satisfied, Tang Yu said he was going to do something, stood up and left his seat, and then disappeared through the rear gate.
Basement machine room.
Judy was pointing at the electronic screen and excitedly explaining the Mewtwo movie, which she had just finished editing. She was so happy that her shoulders were shaking when she talked about the highlights of the movie.
“Haha, no one would have thought that being able to connect each other’s synaptic nerves would really be double the happiness!”
Gloria on the side seemed to be infected by Judy’s smile. She smiled gently and praised: “You are getting better and better.”
Hearing the reluctance in Gloria’s laughter, Judy couldn’t help but look sideways at the red-haired beauty beside her.
Gloria was dressed very beautifully and uniquely today. She wore a long dark red silk dress with a purple rhyme, and wore a small brown mink vest, with mature peach lines looming.
Two slender ribbons cleverly tie the lower hem of the skirt, outlining the layers of dark lines on the skirt, perfectly highlighting the voluptuous curves. The ribbon went around the smooth neck and shoulders, was tied into a bow, and fell on the back of the snowy skin, as mature as a delicate red rose, or like a red apple waiting to be picked.
She is a beauty favored by fate. Her proud figure shows no signs of age, her hair is beautiful, her lips are reddish, and she wears an elegant and charming red dress, which fully displays her elegant and mature temperament.
Judy’s eyes were slightly blurred, and she couldn’t help but take a closer look, and she would find that there was a bit of sadness hidden in the beautiful eyebrows, as if she was thinking about something or worrying about something.
“What? Are you still worried about David?” Judy thought Gloria was concerned about David’s physical and mental condition. Arasaka Tower was seriously invaded and the situation was critical. David used the prosthetic King Kong intensively. There was some nerve damage.
Moreover, David’s career has been too smooth. In less than a year, he has been promoted several levels to the top of the company. He is too young to be able to control the company’s struggles.
Gloria shook her head gently: “David’s side is fine, thank you. I think Mewtwo’s movie is really great, and it can be set as an exclusive purchase service for VIP customers.”
Judy was not interested in talking about Mewtwo movies anymore, so she could only advise: “Then relax, any difficulties and worries will pass.”
“Yes.” Gloria nodded slightly, then said goodbye to Judy, turned and left the basement computer room, and walked towards the VIP exclusive box on the second floor.
On the way, she clasped her hands together tightly and her pace gradually accelerated. But when she was about to reach the box door, her pace suddenly slowed down and she hesitated.
Gloria lowered her head and stroked her belly, her eyes a little heavier. She knew that she shouldn’t persuade Tang Yu, but Tang Yu’s safety was always on her mind, like a heavy weight. Every time she thought of this, her heart became a little heavier. , I was almost suffocated by the pressure and couldn’t breathe out.
He hesitated for a moment.
After gathering her mood, she got up and went to the gate to inquire. After the access control authentication was passed, she slowly walked into the slightly narrow box.
As soon as she entered the box, Gloria only glanced at him, then turned around abruptly, with her back to Tang Yu. Her bright red curly hair was tied into a bun, and a few strands of hair hung down her thin neck.
Seeing her unusual behavior, Tang Yu quickly checked his clothes and found that there was nothing wrong with his clothes. He still had a straight black suit. Before going out, Sasha had ironed it so that no wrinkles could be found.
Gloria raised her head and took two deep breaths, trying to ease the intense feeling of loss and recovery, and resisting the tears from falling easily from the corners of her eyes.
After calming down a little, she raised her hands, twisted the two silk ribbons behind the snow shoulders, and prepared to untie the beautiful bow.
Suddenly, her cold fingers were wrapped by warm and generous palms, and then clasped tightly.
Gloria’s heart trembled slightly, and she felt that her whole body was beginning to stand unsteadily. She could only use her strength to support herself, for fear of falling backwards in the next second.
“Don’t be afraid.” Tang Yu comforted her softly in her ear, his breath blowing on the red hair on the back of her fair neck, “I’m not doing well. I came to you today to take over some work. It’s best to arrange something big. After all, the little one is small. I’m not interested.”
Gloria felt the warmth coming from her back, clasped his hand tighter, and said, “I tried hard not to worry, but I couldn’t.”
She has often been awakened by nightmares recently. From the first second she met Tang Yu, he was always in danger.
Gloria understood that Tang Yu was forced to do so, and he was always surrounded by assassinations, fights, deaths, etc.
But silently carrying everything again and again, each time might be the last time, made Gloria’s already hanging heart unable to rest.
Especially when she saw Tang Yu still wearing a crisp suit, she really couldn’t suppress the turbulent emotions in her heart and felt sad and sorry for him.
The career he had risked his life to fight for was gone in an instant. The price was too heavy and unfair for Tang Yu.
“Can you still go back to the company?” Gloria asked quietly, hoping that Tang Yu could live the life he wanted instead of starting from scratch for others.
“How should I put it?” Tang Yu thought for a while, “There are quite a few companies that have invited me now. Military Technology, Kangtao, Biotechnology, Zeta, etc. have all offered conditions. They are basically higher than my original position. A few levels down, Arasaka has also retained my position. To be honest, I’m really not interested. If Hanako, oh no, if Saburo is willing to lend me his seat for two days, I can consider it.”
Gloria couldn’t help but laugh. She bowed slightly and accidentally bumped into Tang Yu. Her cheeks were obviously rosy.
“After all, everyone knows that Mr. Tang, you are great, so naturally you will have better and higher positions and benefits.”
“No, you know my best.” Tang Yu took out his left hand and gently raised the slit on one side of the skirt, revealing the black silk lace hidden behind the waist. The jade-like whiteness of mutton fat contrasted with the black lace. , evoking the visual experience of the primal impulse to make mistakes.
Go up a little further, and you will see long legs, plump peaches, and a plump waist. Especially the little waist that is sunken on the left side makes Tang Yu, a guy who has spent all his money and everything in a row for many days, turn into a hungry wolf again, wanting to do it again. Continue the legend.
Gloria didn’t care about his frivolous behavior, she took his right hand and placed it on his slightly bulging belly, and said softly:
“It’s not convenient for the little guy to still be sleeping.”
Tang Yu asked seriously: “Will Night City be affected by earthquakes, tsunamis, or tornadoes?”
Gloria was stunned for a moment and replied doubtfully: “Night City is located on the west coast and is in an earthquake zone, so it will naturally experience earthquakes and tsunamis.”
“Well, that’s okay.” Tang Yu said calmly: “Let the little guy try to adapt to the habit from now on.”
afterwards.
Gloria was no longer as dignified and noble as before. A few strands of messy hair were stuck to her forehead mixed with wet sweat, and her whole body was weakly leaning on her solid arms.
“Have you thought about what commission to arrange for me?” Tang Yu closed his eyes slightly, feeling that the emptiness was gradually replaced by fullness, and the arsenal of ammunition was replenished bit by bit.
“Think about it, the first commission is to be safe. Once you go, you will come back.” Gloria felt the knot in her heart loosen and dissolve. Only him underneath her could give her a sufficient sense of security.
“In terms of reward.”
With that said, she leaned down again.
Tang Yu replied with great satisfaction: “This is no problem, what about the next commission?”
Gloria was content and vague, holding back her tears, and choked up a bit as she said: “Well, there was a tunnel in the suburbs that had not been repaired for a long time. Once upon a time, a group of homeless villains occupied it and enslaved all the homeless people living in the tunnel. , someone needs to take action to save them.”
“Is the tunnel deep?” Tang Yu thought that fighting in the tunnel would not be fun if it collapsed. It would hurt innocent people and there were children inside.
Gloria breathed out reluctantly and continued: “The depth of the tunnel is so deep that you won’t know until you actually explore it. There is no information on this yet. I think it shouldn’t be too deep. After all, there are many homeless people living in it.”
“Okay, I’ll take this order. I’ll go over there with Jack later.” Tang Yu is now the veritable king of Night City. Going to the suburban tunnels to rescue people and kill enemies shouldn’t be too easy.
Gloria stopped him quickly: “Wait a little longer.”
A while passed.
This time, Gloria really didn’t have any energy left to think about things, worrying about this or that.
The feeling of being drained of all your strength is really uncomfortable.
She murmured: “By the way. I feel like David may have noticed something.”
Tang Yu’s heart tightened inexplicably, and he always felt sorry for his little brother, but his face was still calm without any waves.
“Accidentally exposed?”
Gloria nodded with difficulty: “But not many times. He has been living in the hotel and we haven’t met many times.”
Tang Yu thought about it carefully and realized that he couldn’t keep this matter secret, unless he sent Gloria outside Night City and secretly completed the follow-up tasks.
But doing so would also alert the enemy. David is now a senior executive of Arasaka Company, and he still has the means to inquire and collect information. He is not as easy to fool as the student boy back then.
Tang Yu patted his forehead. This matter really stumped him. If David knew about it, then a series of chain reactions would follow, including V-zi, Lucy, little Michiko, and Aunt Mei.
Ah this
Even in Night City, where the behavior is very open, Tang Yu doesn’t want to tear off the last fig leaf.
After all, everyone wants to be a thief, but no one wants to have a fire in the backyard.
Seeing Tang Yu frowning and thinking for a long time, Gloria raised her head and said firmly: “I will be responsible for this child, and I will not cause any trouble to you, Mr. Tang.”
Seeing that Gloria was so sensible and considerate, Tang Yu stretched out his hand, gently stroked her cheek, and said distressedly: “I will transfer David out of the relationship and let him go to Kyoto to study and experience. Now his position is too high.” Come on, there are a lot of people who are jealous of him. If you go to Kyoto to get gold plated, your position will be more stable when you come back, what do you think?”
Gloria nodded vigorously and said in a low voice.
“Um”

PS: Seeing that You Yanzu was not satisfied with the ending, Rong Instant Noodles continued to quibble (cross out) to explain.
It’s not that I don’t want to write about instant noodles, but I can’t write about the follow-up world view. If I do, I will definitely go in, 100%.
The power needed to truly defeat Arasaka cannot be accomplished by Tang Yu alone.
Others around Tang Yu couldn’t keep up with the rhythm, and it was impossible to hide under the protection of the protagonist all the time.
If you know the world view of 2077, you should know that Europe has already mastered the ability to control meteorites to bombard designated targets, and Arasaka is also developing it, which can destroy a land mass with ease.
The war is about to begin. Unless Tang Yu transforms into a real-life Superman, a cyber-superman, a supernatural superman, and reaches the level of Manhattan, will he be able to rule 2077.
But the reality is that Dr. Manhattan cannot do anything. He can only act as a deterrent to keep the planet in a consistent state of facing the outside world.
Therefore, it is best for the story to stop in Night City.
Instant Noodles also only wants to write stories about what happens among fellow fans, and does not want to write about starting a company and becoming king.
So the postscript is all about daily life, and you may do some tasks, but the main story will not be advanced.
If I continue to write this achievement, I can still make money without finishing the book, but I don’t want to go against my will.
The next book will hit the original urban cyberspace and attract thousands of bookings!
Thank you again, Yanzu, for accompanying me here.
If you have story ideas or character ideas for the postscript, you can comment here and we will consider them!
Thanks!
