Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

Looking at the extra 200 million euros in the bank account, Luo Qi fell into deep thought.

He didn't want to wait for the goods to be counted slowly, and then sell the stolen goods slowly.

There are many nights and dreams, so he chose the guaranteed number of "3000% of 5 million", plus an additional 50 from Isaac.

Exactly the number displayed on the PDA.

200 million.

The unit is eurodollar, which is simply "Eurodollar" and the symbol is "$".

This is the current mainstream currency in Europe, and it is also one of the high credit currencies in the world.

Of course, the colloquial context is not so formal.

As far as Luo Qi knows the common name, there are more than ten kinds——

eurobucks, ebucks, eddies, euro, holos, color, newscript, white, white script, smuggies…

To be honest, influenced by various cultures, different people may have completely different and ever-changing slang terms for the same thing.

So Luo Qi often uses the simplest and most versatile one.

He always called "eurodollar" "euro".

Of course, these are two completely different things from the euro in his memory.

As for the new dollar?

NUSA's currency and credit system is not popular in the Free State, especially in Night City, Arasaka's home game.

Most people would rather use the "New Yen" and "Chinese Yuan" for settlement, and only use the new US dollar if they have no choice.

Of course, this is another topic.

Luo Qi picked up the PDA again, glanced at the numbers on it, and then closed his eyes in peace.

200 million, plus the early 100 million saved before, he has as much as 300 million + liquidity at his disposal.

For a financial behemoth like a company, this is nothing at all, but for an ordinary citizen in Night City...

No, that's a lot of money for a commoner anywhere in the world.

Even so, Luo Qi still can't afford a good house.

Haywood's second-hand house, a small one-bedroom layout, starts at almost 100 million.

The price of the municipal center, the same area, the price can be successfully raised to start at 150 million.

This is not a good house, the condition is bad enough, even less clean and tidy, or it is quite old.

Property is a completely non-existent thing.

If you want a safe environment, you have to choose a community with a sound system, and the price per unit area can more than double.

If you want a clean environment, you have to deliberately choose a newer property, surrounded by neighbors with considerable financial resources.

The biggest problem with housing in Night City is not only expensive, but also the harsh environment, which causes prices to soar.

The more conditions, the more outrageous the price.

As far as the ordinary apartment building in Watson District where Luo Qi is renting now, the sanitation conditions are considered moderate in this district, and the safety guarantee is completely zero.

This not-so-spacious single apartment costs about 80 euros per set.

This is already a decent apartment.

Hygiene can be barely overcome, the house is cleaned, and it is passable if it is diligent.

The security guarantee is handed over to the prototype turret of the violent terrorist mobile team obtained through internal channels. There is no back door, and coupled with the combat effectiveness of Luo Qi and Suzi, it is quite safe to think about it.

With the dilapidated appearance of this 30-year-old building and the not-so-good location, the price is so high.

In the early 300 million, even if you invest all of it, you won't be able to buy a good house.

Luo Qi has researched that in the waterfront of Watson District, in the apartment building facing Westbrook Japan Street and the company square to the south, it is possible to have a decent high-rise sea view apartment.

The age is not very old, the building 13 years ago, the safety guarantee is not bad because there is a high-end hotel that can receive VIPs next to it.

The size of the one-bedroom is still limited, but fortunately, the bathroom, kitchen, and living room are all equipped.

300 million, almost exactly right.

This housing price is even more exaggerated than the New York that Luo Qi knew before.

Because this world is not a normal world, naturally it cannot be measured by common sense.

Outside the city of night is a barren and dangerous bad land, which is the most prosperous place within a hundred miles.

In 2075, there are more than 900 million people close to 1000 million people, but the space in the city is not rich, even after seeking a breakthrough in the sky, it is still the same.

But what if Luo Qi lowers his requirements and doesn't ask for the living conditions of a normal person in his impression?

The first is lighting.

He doesn't have to stick to a superstructure where he can see the sun and enjoy it.

Underground tube buildings, or honeycomb houses like super skyscrapers, or even underground semi-crypt dwellings are all listed here.

Followed by hygiene.

He doesn't have to pursue an external environment that looks at least doable.

The dirt in the cracks of the pavement bricks, the decayed and peeling exterior walls, the musty and sour corners, and the sewers that have been blocked by piles of garbage for many years cannot be seen clearly.

Another is security.

He doesn't have to demand a calmer neighbor, a calmer day.

Neighborhoods where violent crimes emerge endlessly, schools where the abortion rate is higher than the enrollment rate, corridors where brothels, casinos, and drug dens gather.

Last but not least is security.

He doesn't have to choose a region where basic power and water supply can be guaranteed.

What comes out of the faucet is a liquid that has a different color every day and emits a strange smell. The power supply voltage has never been fixed, and the gas pipeline does not exist at all.

Giving up these "overly picky" requirements, he can get a spacious and cheap big house.

The price is very cheap, so cheap that you even suspect that a reinforced gambler and drug addict has been hanged in this room.

However, in fact, the murders that have occurred here are far more exaggerated than you imagined.

Houses are for the rich.

Those who have no money and poor people live are called shelters.

In this way, there are still many people who are homeless and cannot even pay rent and utility bills.

V is considered to be very promising among the homeless, and he can rent a luxurious suite in a skyscraper slum.

The decoration is also top-notch, clean and beautiful, and it is not at the same level as the rat's nest separated by a wall.

Those who can afford this kind of "high-end beggar's house" are generally working-class people who can support their families through relatively reliable jobs.

However, the supporting environment of this "Titan-level tube building" is still inevitably bad.

"Clean and hygienic" roadside stalls, garbage mountains that no one takes care of, crimes in buildings that cannot be controlled, and n-hand shops that look like picking up junk.

The only business that is still booming is Wilson's "Second Amendment" gun store.

After all, these days, a bullet is sometimes more important than a meal.

Thinking back when he was drooling over charged weapons like Storm and Achilles, Luo Qi couldn't help but smile a bit sadly.

Then he squeezed the PDA tightly on his chest, as if the money was stored in this small electronic device.

But if you want to ask if Luo Qi plans to buy a house?

His answer, after a long time of consideration, will firmly tell you——

No.

Carefully observing the history and current situation of Night City, Luo Qi found that this is a city that has changed quite a lot.

Because it is in a changing trend all the time, and with the turmoil of the current situation, it has many influences.

Such as the Unification War.

A new U.S. army at the gates can break a lot of things, not the least of which is price.

This war was finally resolved by the reinforcements invited by Lucius Lane, the Arasaka Company.

But next time, it may not be as simple as the market that collapses, but the entire economic system and even physical buildings.

Luo Qi doesn't like this kind of investment with huge risks.

A real estate worth millions is enough to afford the word "investment".

If one day I woke up and found that the land I bought with great difficulty was blown away by a missile, I might just faint out of anger.

Oh, it is also possible that when the house is lifted, even the people are lifted together.

After such a calculation, Luo Qi felt that it would be better to rent it. Anyway, together, he and Suzi could make money much faster than paying the rent.

If the world were a little more normal, Luo Qi reckoned that he would take Suzi to find a good place in Shiji Mountain, and build an exquisite small villa.

The land is worthless, and the materials and wages are far less expensive than the land in the city. Once all the pipelines are connected, all the necessary supplies will be available.

Build a path, build a garage, build a fence, and build a swimming pool.

Finally, fill it with turrets and safety equipment to prevent small thieves from approaching.

Of course, now look at Stoneridge Mountain.

It's just a barren mountain of sand and rocks.

The environment is harsh, not only strong winds, but also acid rain.

Forget it, it's okay to say that the homeless are running around, the Chaos Knife Society and various gangs and bandits and horse thieves are everywhere.

Someone once planned to build a small town there, but the local buildings were abandoned before they broke away from the category of small bungalows.

Without good law and order and environment, the market and the flow of people will naturally not come back, and there will be no hope of prosperity and prosperity.

From the start, the attempt was doomed to failure.

The more Luo Qi thinks about it, the more he feels that the story of Night City is a collection of losers. Sadness and regret gather together, and it seems like a river flowing against the current.

But if the law and order in Night City is good enough to live and work in peace...

The Terrorist Mobile Team will never exist.

The business of mercenaries and middlemen will also be greatly reduced, at least not as self-contained as it is now, and it seems to be another world.

Underground world.

Of course, that's all if.

Rocky looked out the window.

The opposite green apartment building, like an isolated mountain, stands on layers of floors and foundations.

The same goes for the apartment beneath him.

You don't have to compete with other buildings with narrow distances for sunlight, and you can enjoy the warmth that you should have as a human being on days when the weather is fair.

It's just that all of these have been secretly priced by the real estate agent.

When buying a house, the price is not only divided by people's financial resources, but also people's hearts——

This is a world so fragmented that everyone is fragmented, let alone between people.

Luo Qi turned his head and saw Suzi staring at him with big eyes.

"When did you wake up?"

"From the time you started moving around."

Suzi said with some resentment, and then slammed Luo Qi on the pillow with a head hammer.

Leaning into his arms, she no longer used that arm as a pillow, but replaced it with a wider chest.

When Luo Qi is thinking about things, especially things that make him feel anxious, or when there is a sense of conflict and contradiction, he will unconsciously move the muscles all over his body.

Among them, the arms, legs and feet are the most obvious.

He was contemplating this deformed city, and as he thought about it, he felt more and more hopeless that this city could not be saved, so he moved unconsciously.
