Please call me Cyber ​​Demon King

As a cyber vagrant who often goes hungry, V has also experienced times when she couldn't pay her rent. The things she talked about were obviously things she had personally experienced.

"Oh right, there's also the meal fee, 100 per week. As for the taste and portion size, I can only say it's neither too good to eat nor too bad to eat. If you want something more normal, you'll have to add another 50! Of course, you can also pay separately for each meal, 20 per meal, but only an idiot would do that."

As V spoke, she did the calculations. In the end, she concluded that in her current apartment, including utilities, it would be difficult to maintain a normal life without paying at least 2500 yuan a month.

An average person earns only 2000 to 3000 a month, and may not even be able to afford a house. So it's no wonder there are so many homeless people in Night City.

Of course, this is the price of the apartment. If you really don't have money and don't want to be homeless, there are also sleeping pods available. Those are cheaper, costing less than 1000 a month, or about 30 a night.

"If you ask me, living in a place like that is worse than being homeless. A bunch of people are crammed into one room, with coffin beds neatly arranged, it's just like a morgue in a crematorium, they're just waiting to be put into the furnace!"

V scoffed at the sleep pods; she had obviously stayed in one herself and concluded that they were not places for people to live, as the beds were designed to look exactly like coffins.

"Of course, there are even cheaper places, like NID (Northern Industrial Zone). The monthly rent there is only three to five hundred euros. As long as you're not afraid of dying, you can go live there."

The NID (Northern Industrial Zone) mentioned by V is also part of Watson District, located at the northernmost part of Night City.

The security situation in the North City Industrial Zone is extremely bad, even within the Watson District, which is assessed as "extremely dangerous" by the NCPD.

The cyber freaks of the Vortex Gang have taken over there, and scavengers, smuggling gangs, and all sorts of wanted criminals are crammed into the dilapidated shipping containers and industrial plants in the North City Industrial Zone.

"Life in Night City is tough, isn't it?"

Ke Ling exclaimed, "It's not just difficult, this place is practically cannibalistic!"

"Isn't it all the same everywhere?"

Jack Wells shook his head. In his opinion, Night City still offers more opportunities; otherwise, why would so many people flock there?

The three chatted as they arrived at their destination, the super skyscraper H10.

The building entrance was heavily guarded, with several automatic gun emplacements set up; it was unclear whether they were meant to deter outsiders or tenants who didn't pay their rent.

"You paid for this too."

Seeing Ke Ling staring at the automatic turret, V curled his lip. There's nothing here that's free.

"Let's go to my house first and take a look at the layout. They're all basically the same design. If you like it, you can go straight to sign the contract."

Led by V, the three of them took the elevator. V's floor was not low.

After exiting the elevator, turning a corner, and going up another flight of stairs, they saw V's room.

V opened the door and invited Ke Ling and Jack Wells inside.

"Just take a look."

As he spoke, V opened the refrigerator, took out two small cans of Coca-Cola, tossed them to Ke Ling and Jack Wells, and then took one for himself.

"Actually, this house isn't small."

Ke Ling expressed her opinion, and it was the truth.

The house is square, with a living room, bathroom, storage room, and walk-in closet. It also has a fairly large window with a view of the outside scenery. It may be small, but it has everything you need.

As for the bedroom, it's directly embedded in the wall, with just a bed, seamlessly integrated with the living room.

To be honest, this house is much better than the place Ke Ling rented before he transmigrated, of course, that is, putting aside the rental price.

Please read my new book! It's really important! Thank you so much, dear readers!!

Chapter 34 It's a pity you're a girl

"Let's do it here."

After looking around V's little apartment, Ke Ling made a decision: although there were better options, he couldn't afford to rent one with his current savings.

V's little house is nice; it has everything you'd expect. But after walking around, I didn't see many feminine items. Instead, there were quite a few fitness equipment.

All I can say is, she truly deserves to be called a woman with eight-pack abs.

After entering the house, V took off her blood-stained, tattered coat, revealing a small vest underneath that showed off her fair skin and figure.

You know what, this woman may be petite, but she's actually quite well-endowed.

"Go sign the contract."

V nodded, took a new coat, and led Ke Ling and Jack Wells downstairs again.

Those who work as cyber vagrants change their clothes very frequently; after one job, their entire outfit is unusable.

Actually, Ke Ling should be the one changing clothes now, since he's covered in blood again, but unfortunately, V definitely doesn't have his size.

The three left V's room and followed V into the elevator.

This super skyscraper H10 is huge. It doesn't just contain living areas; it includes many facilities, such as a gym.

The place to sign the rental contract is naturally inside this H10 building, right at the entrance on the first floor, which is quite conspicuous.

The contract was signed smoothly because as a tenant, you only have the right to pay money; you have no other rights. If you want to rent, sign and pay; if you don't want to rent, get out of here.

Ke Ling readily paid 2500 yuan, and basically selected all the home appliances and services she needed for her daily life.

He didn't cancel the meal fee either, choosing the cheapest option. He still had to cover it up a bit; at worst, he could just send it to V every day as an extra meal.

I'm about to buy a $100,000 one, so this little bit of money won't make a difference.

All I can say is that although the money hasn't arrived yet, Ke Ling has already figured out how to spend it.

After receiving the key, Ke Ling saw that his room and V's room were on the same floor, in roughly the same location, separated by two rooms.

"I'm heading back now. See you tonight, guys."

Having finished his business here, Jack Wells didn't plan to stay any longer; he needed to go back and make some preparations.

"Take my car and we'll go. Come pick us up tonight."

V simply tossed the car keys to Jack Wells, seemingly unconcerned that he might hack her car.

Instead of taking on a deal that could have netted him 100,000, he ripped her off with a used Gallina he bought for 3000. Only an idiot would do something like that.

Besides, there's the priest connection; she doesn't think it's that serious.

"Thanks, sis."

Jack Wells didn't mince words; he took the car keys, waved, and left.

Ke Ling and V said goodbye and went back to their respective rooms. After a busy night, Ke Ling didn't need to sleep, but V needed to rest.

In fact, Ke Ling's worry about not being able to move during the day is not very necessary, because the Cyber ​​Wanderers' missions are often carried out at night.

In broad daylight, it's not very convenient to do anything, so nighttime is definitely a better time to strike. As the saying goes, "A dark and windy night is a good night for murder."

Back in his room, Ke Ling first took off his clothes and took a shower in the bathroom. He felt quite uncomfortable covered in blood.

After washing up, Ke Ling had no clothes to change into. He wrapped himself in a bath towel, lay on the bed, and started chewing his fingers. It was time for dinner.

After lying in the empty room for a while, Ke Ling couldn't stay still and started practicing. He was so skilled that even the King of Rolls would have to call him the Emperor of Rolls.

"Dang Dang Dang."

Ke Ling had only been forging his chain for a short while when someone knocked on his door.

"Who?"

Ke Ling asked a question, then walked over and unlocked the door lock, which cost 100.

"Forehead"

V at the door was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Ke Ling to look like this, and then wrapped himself in a large bath towel.

"V? Sorry, I just finished showering. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Ke Ling gripped the bath towel, making sure nothing vulgar would happen, and then asked with some doubt.

"I knew you wouldn't have any clothes to wear, so I brought you an outfit."

V smiled mischievously, took out a set of clothes and handed them to Ke Ling, which she had just bought.

"Thanks, V, that's so thoughtful. How much?"

Ke Ling accepted the clothes with a grateful expression. He had just been thinking about whether to trouble V, but V had already bought them and delivered them to him.

"You're welcome. It's a cheap bargain from a street vendor, so it's yours for free."

V smiled and waved her hand, refusing to accept the money. She didn't go inside either, turning around and returning to her own room.

""

Ke Ling closed the door and remained silent for a while. This kind of proactive concern was actually quite touching.

V, this girl, obviously thought that he was afraid of light and wouldn't be able to go out to buy clothes by himself, so she specially went out and bought a set of clothes.

Of course, Ke Ling is not love-struck or narcissistic, and she wouldn't resort to a brainless combo of "she's warm and I cry" or "does she like me?"

Just because V bought him a piece of clothing doesn't mean V is "interested" in him; it just means V is "kind."

These two meanings are clearly not the same. The former refers to romantic love between a man and a woman, while the latter refers to being particular about one's conduct and being loyal to one's friends.

In Night City, people like V and Jack Wells, who have principles and a bottom line, can indeed be considered "good people".

Looking at the flashy, street-style outfit in her hand, Ke Ling tried it on. The size was quite suitable, even better than Jack Wells' outfit.

"This V is quite good at buying things. It's just a pity you're a girl, otherwise I would have become sworn brothers with you."

Ke Ling chuckled and made a sarcastic remark, then continued forging the chain.

Ha, women, they only slow down my push-up speed.

And so it went on until evening, when Ke Ling finally stopped forging and went out after receiving a message from Jack Wells.

"Hi, V."

Ke Ling had just closed the door when she saw V open the door and come out. After putting on a coat, she transformed back into that cool street girl.

"Let's go do some big business."

V closed the door, smiled at Ke Ling, her eyes burning with ambition; she was never one to settle down.

"After this deal, I'll only do big business from now on."

Ke Ling caught up with her and added from behind, "Why does it feel like she's setting a flag?"

"That's hard to say. If we run out of money, we'll still have to take on the jobs we need to take."
