Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

Chuhua also followed behind.

The two headed for the parking lot, while Xiangzi and Miao Meng waited there.

It didn’t take long—perhaps mainly because Miao Meng had been chatting with Mu on the other end of the line about his views on “Black Wall AI”, Xiangzi felt that it didn’t take long—

Hailing and Chuhua are back.

Hai Ling brought back four masks and four sets of black and red dress jackets.

Chuhua brought his own [DS-1 Pulse], Hailing's [Black Unicorn], Xiangzi's [Nirvana] and [Pride].

"Working hours~"

Miao Meng took the dress with a smile.

She flexed her wrist.

Click, click.

Two clear sounds.

The electronic shackles on the [Single Molecule Wire] that Michelle Paradise had given to Miao Meng were easily removed.

The electronic fence flashed a few more times and returned to its original state.

The bushes swayed.

When Xiangzi, Chuhua, Hailing and Miaomeng left the blind spot of the surveillance and walked towards the more remote east side of Michelle Paradise, they had all put on their dresses, masks and were armed.

Mujica's communication was transferred by Miao Meng from the external speaker interface to Ave Mujica's private brain-computer communication channel.

"Hello~Mortis~Can you hear me~"

"Ah."

"Communication is good~Mortis, you don't sound very happy? Ah... is it because you are the only one not wearing a mask? I'll make you wear one next time~"

"...No...it's just..."

"It's not dangerous." Xiangzi straightened his back and walked forward, interrupting Mu before she could speak. "When meeting with an arms dealer, you must be fully prepared. You can't go there empty-handed."

"Is Oblivionis the type who needs to bring gifts~?" Miao Meng asked knowingly.

"It is to prevent others from treating us as gifts delivered to their doorstep." Xiangzi still answered.

The four of them walked along the path.

Night gradually fell.

In Michelle Land, the facility area that is only open during the day is closed.

These areas are turned into [Not Used] status.

The speakers were still playing cheerful songs like Hello, Happy World! The cheerful songs echoed in the "unused" area where the lights of the facilities were turned off and the street lights dimmed from bright to dark, and it was a little creepy.

Xiangzi and his group carefully avoided surveillance and passed through such areas.

Their meeting place was further away.

In front of us, we can see a blue metal fence with a sign saying "Under Construction!"

They came to the front of the fence.

Looking through the gap, you can see that there is still a road extending behind.

…On the map, this location is marked as “Michelle Park Phase 2 under construction”.

But the people of Ave Mujica knew.

This is actually [Phase 2 of Reclamation New Land].

"...It turns out there is a floating car parking lot behind the ordinary parking lot." Hai Ling looked at the side of the road where everyone came from.

There, the trees thinned out a little, revealing the parking lot behind them.

This was not an ordinary parking lot that was as crowded as sardines, but a large and spacious floating parking lot with a white crosshair marked on the ground.

“It’s worthy of being a city-sized amusement park.”

"That's great~ I want to ride a hovercraft too~" Miao Meng can connect with any topic, "Ah, but with that money, upgrading the brain-computer might be a better choice..."

"With so much money, do we still need to work with better brain machines?"

"You don't understand. That's a dream! A dream!"

Crunch...

While Hailing and Miaomeng were talking, Chuhua had already opened a gap in the blue iron fence to allow someone to pass through.

From deep within the gap, music similar to that on the radio could be heard faintly.

"Thank you for your hard work, Doloris." Xiangzi said to everyone, "Let's go."

Chapter 112: Fame

Walking behind the fence, Xiangzi quickly noticed that this piece of land under construction did not look like a construction site as he had imagined.

She had originally thought that this place would be full of boards and scaffolding, with signs of construction everywhere. But in fact, this place was not much different from the "unused" area outside.

The dim street lights were still on, and the speakers were still playing songs by the band Hello, Happy World!

There are even amusement facilities.

Some amusement facilities were placed on both sides of the road. Some of them were very old and had been dismantled and were undergoing repairs, while others were new products that were about to be put into use and the anti-collision sponges on the outer packaging had not yet been removed.

In addition, there are even running facilities. Some new models of bumper car bodies and coffee cup machines are undergoing fully automatic elk experiments to test the wear and tear status after long-term operation.

These glowing, buzzing rides make this place look no different from the outside.

The track of the roller coaster, which had not yet been put into use, passed over the heads of the four people. The test run of the roller coaster was moving slowly above. Miao Meng walked below and looked up.

"The rides are all moving, but there's no one here. It's so weird." She stuck out her tongue. "It's like something out of a nightmare!"

"This area has been completed." Hai Ling walked aside and said, "It should be used temporarily as a warehouse and maintenance center for Michelle Park by Hello, Happy World! But the employees are off work at night."

"What an enviable working time!" Meow Meng gritted his teeth, "Even Mewtwo's producer doesn't have such an easy time!"

"It's too dark at night, and it's inconvenient to maintain the amusement facilities." Xiangzi said, "Although there are indeed many people who want to work here."

"Has Xiang thought about it too?" Mu asked on the other end of the line.

"How is that possible? They have requirements for [points]—"

Xiangzi suddenly realized that she shouldn't talk about this topic. She closed her mouth unhappily.

"..."Mu was silent with some embarrassment.

"Ah, but these should be put into use soon--" Chuhua noticed this. She tried to change the subject...

at this time.

Beep, beep.

"what."

There's a phone call.

Xiangzi took out his cell phone.

It's the weapons dealer "J".

The weapons dealer introduced by Pastel*Palettes. Today, Xiangzi is going to meet him.

Xiangzi answered the phone.

The image of a young man with a red cockscomb and sunglasses jumped out on the prosthetic eye.

"Aho~Oblivionis~"

A rather flirty, young male voice.

J is a good businessman. However, Xiangzi doesn't appreciate his personality. He is too talkative. Every time Xiangzi communicates with him, he thinks of Miao Meng.

If Xiangzi hadn't been worried about Miao Meng coming to discuss business, she would have definitely left him to Miao Meng to deal with.

"I'm here." said Xiangzi.

"Ah! Sorry for all the hard work! I'm so late. Is there a spot on the map? I'm on my way there!"

"I'm almost there too...what happened?"

"Ok?"

"I've bought bullets from you several times. You've never been as happy as you are today."

"Ah~ Did you hear it?" J said on the other end of the phone, "Today, I negotiated a big deal!"

"Big business?"

“I have successfully acquired quite a few third-level stores in Phase 2 of Michelle Paradise!”

J was delighted.

"I'm going to take more inventory--"

He listed the number of stores he had successfully negotiated with.

The huge number surprised Xiangzi a little.

"You bought so much?" Xiangzi asked.

During the previous negotiations, Xiangzi noticed that J was a relatively good arms dealer in Lezhicheng...

But it wasn’t that big.

It would be difficult for J to buy several streets of stores at once with his financial resources.

He probably took out a lot of loans.

Moreover, I took out a loan to buy a third-level store.

Three-level storefront.

This level of store cannot carry out catering activities, nor allow large gatherings of people. In the amusement park, it can be regarded as the worst type of store.

Few people choose to buy such stores in large quantities.

"Hey!"

J seemed to have drunk a lot because he was happy. His tone was floating.

"I'll tell you a secret! I think... [Michelle Park Phase 2] will most likely not become an amusement park!"

"……Why do you say that?"

J is drunk, but Xiangzi is not, she asked calmly.

"I've been active in this area for a long time! I know every street like the back of my hand... I see that the direction of site construction is changing! More and denser foundations and pipelines... It doesn't look like they are going to build an amusement park!"

"It's like they're going to build a new city district! Just like [reclaiming new land]!"

“……” Xiangzi didn’t say anything.

"The new city area is great, the new city area..." J was still muttering to himself.

"Only in the new city area do people have fights. Now, this Michelle Park is all Hello, Happy World! Management, and there are very few fights!"

"Besides, there will be new people coming to the new city area!"

"Haha! This is a huge boon for weapons dealers like me! With so many properties, I will have a bigger say in this area. Those guys who want to get a large share of catering and amusement facility agency through reservations are all fools! I'm the one who's going to soar to the sky!"

"I feel like I can get up! Hahaha - new territory is coming, I will become the biggest weapons dealer... it's a beautiful thought!"

Xiangzi waited calmly for J to finish speaking.

"You've told me a lot," she said finally. "I suppose it's confidential. Is it all right to tell me?"

J smiled.

"...Don't be so superficial. You're here for this too, right?"

"what's up?"

“A new suburb.”
