Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

She has been observing since just now.

Intelligence is a weapon. Xiangzi has no high-tech help, he can only rely on his own eyes and previous knowledge.

Miao Meng has always been too close to Xiangzi.

It was so close that Xiangzi could see everything clearly.

"The light-converting radiator is used to capture color particles, and the radiating wheel plates are used to expand the brain-computer contact area. Ordinary hackers will not use these."

Xiangzi stared into Miao Meng's eyes and said.

"Only Mewtwo Producers would install such a device. But I don't see any official Mewtwo Producer proxy interface on your neck."

"You are having a dark dream, right?"

"Secretly record the exciting scenes around you, then process them artistically and sell them online..."

"What counts as an exciting scene for you?"

"Does secret information in a bar count?"

"Does the intercourse of the guests in the box count?"

"Does Roselia's deal with you... count?"

"..."

Miao Meng finally stopped laughing. She stopped and looked into Xiangzi's golden eyes.

"…Are you threatening me?"

"Depends on your response."

Miao Meng glanced at Xiangzi again. She stood up.

"Come in and talk."

Miao Meng said with a smile.

Chapter 15 Bang Bang (the sound of extortion)

Miao Meng used her card to open a room, and Xiangzi followed her in. The card was swiped on the inside again, and the light-transmitting glass door immediately turned black.

Xiangzi finally reached the last step of selling the [point chip].

It is also the most dangerous step.

"Oh~"

Under the wine-red colored lights, Miao Meng held up the [point chip] that Xiangzi handed to her and examined it carefully. The brass interface of the [point chip] shone brightly under the scanning of Miao Meng's artificial eye.

"It's the real deal." Miao Meng turned the chip over and over, looking at it back and forth. "It's an extraordinary reaction chip. It's in pretty good condition."

"Name a price." Xiangzi sat opposite Miao Meng, clasped his hands and said.

Miao Meng's prosthetic eyes turned from looking at the chip to looking at Xiangzi.

"This thing is hard to sell." Miao Meng said, "It has been coded by someone."

"I know."

"Who did you get it from?"

"…Kidney-shaving man."

"It's not a band, but it's okay. I have a way to remove the code, but..."

Miao Meng took the chip away from his eyes.

"It costs money to erase the code."

"..."

"Don't look at me like that. Do you know how much a laser probe costs? The price offered by a skilled craftsman is not low at all."

"I thought the money was paid from our transaction funds."

"How is that possible! There are too many tricks in the City of Joy. Who knows if it will go wrong tomorrow after I deal with it today... If this thing is in my hands, I have to bear the risks! I have to pay for it all before the payment arrives? No way."

Meow Dream shook his finger.

"Fifty thousand, the money for laundering the codes. Give it to me, and we'll get the deal."

"..."

"You're hesitating about this? I'll give it back to you."

The chip was thrown back to Xiangzi, who caught it.

"Do not……"

No, I'm not hesitant.

I just don't have any money.

Xiangzi really wanted to say this, but she certainly couldn't say it just like that.

She had to…she had to find an excuse.

"No, this price is much different from the price of code cleaning I knew before."

Xiangzi took another gamble.

The other person is a veteran in this area, and I am a wanderer who has just arrived.

Xiangzi believed that the other party would definitely ask for an exorbitant price for cleaning the code.

If you bet right, you will be on the road to success.

If you bet wrong, you will fall into the abyss.

Xiangzi threw the coin that determined his fate.

"Ten thousand is definitely enough." Xiangzi said, clenching his hands.

Miao Meng glanced at Xiangzi.

"Ten thousand? Huh, is this the probe you picked up from the recycling station?"

"You have calculated the cost of a new probe. A probe can be used more than once." These are all inferred based on experience of using other probes.

"You want to use a second-hand probe? The damage you cause will cost you more than just this little money. It's up to you. That's forty thousand."

"Twenty thousand."

"Ha, you really made me laugh. This is not something that can be bargained for..."

"Thirty thousand, including the drinks." Xiangzi looked at Miao Meng calmly and said, "You will definitely make some money."

"……ha."

Miao Meng smiled. She leaned back and leaned on the red leather sofa.

"Where did you get here?"

"..."

"Okay, okay... thirty thousand. Drinks are included in this."

Miao Meng stretched out his hand.

"It's a losing deal. Give me the money."

Xiangzi took out some banknotes from his pocket.

One volume, two volumes, three volumes.

It didn't look so bad. Xiangzi had already sorted them out while sitting in the car.

Miao Meng picked up the scrolls one by one and checked them with his artificial eye.

"30,000 yuan. I'll take it."

She stuffed the bills into her small messenger bag.

"Then the negotiation is established," Xiangzi said, "it's time to sign the agreement..."

at this time.

Snap, snap.

Xiangzi saw Miao Meng and clapped his hands twice.

……

The glass door, which had turned black, suddenly became transparent again. With a buzz, the door opened. Outside the door, two brown-skinned, burly men wearing sunglasses strode into the room.

"Varied--"

Without saying anything, the two men grabbed Xiangzi's arms, one on the left and one on the right.

"Let me go!" Xiangzi struggled and raised his face. "What are you doing! Meow Dream!"

In front of Xiangzi, Miao Meng patted the edge of her skirt gracefully and stood up.

"Thank you for the money."

Miao Meng smiled slyly.

"As a reward for intelligence, let me tell you something good."

"You're right. I'm just a black Mewtwo guy, and I can't erase the official code."

"you lied to me!"

Xiangzi struggled.

Damn it—did she miscalculate? Doesn’t this guy care about his reputation?

But even if she didn't care about reputation -

"Aren't you afraid that I will tell others about your Black Mewtwo? Are you going to kill me? Roselia won't allow anyone to kill people on her territory—"

Miao Meng moved closer to Xiangzi.

The soft hands covered Xiangzi's face, then slowly moved upwards to press on her temple.

"boom."

He tapped his finger once, then released it.

"Kill you? I won't kill you. As for you telling others about this..."

Miao Meng smiled charmingly.

"Why do you think I greeted the leaders of Roselia?"

"..."

"Kitty, I dare to live here and do business here, of course everything is ready from top to bottom."

"Roselia, the bar staff, the bar owner. Everyone in this film knows that I'm the one who shoots Black Mewtwo. Ah, the customers may not know--"

"Gu..."

Xiangzi was restrained. She could only let Miao Meng's hand slide down her face and then slide under the hem of her hoodie.

"It seems that they open one eye and close one eye, and they close one eye so much that you think they are blind."

"whee."

The aperture deep in Miao Meng's eyes shrank and swept across Xiangzi's brain-computer interface.

"【Technical Ability: 3】, 【Calmness: 3】... You can do this? You're pretty amazing. You basically got everything right... You almost fooled me."

"But it's still too early to start hanging out on this street."

"Roselia is not that kind of band. What you can see with your naked eyes, they can definitely see. In front of their high scores, anyone is naked..."

His hand slid from the bottom of his hoodie to the lower back of Xiangzi.

"—!"

"…Like you're naked in front of me."
