Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

"Oh?"

There is an email in the mailbox.

It was sent by a guy named Oblivionis.

Chapter 22 Online dating has risks

Oblivionis is not a common ID name.

Most of the clients used their real names, which are Japanese names. A small number of clients used pseudonyms, but they were also Katakana, Hiragana, a few capital letters, or simple English words.

Miao Meng was sure that this was a new customer.

Because, if she sees such a rare name once, she will definitely remember it.

Miao Meng clicked on the glowing icon.

Oblivionis's email was very simple.

"Ms. Meow Meng, I am sorry to bother you during your busy schedule. I would like to commission you to make a custom Mewtwo."

That's all. Apart from that, there's nothing else.

The text is very formal, but the content is vague.

……

"(At least specify the type of film, right?)"

While drinking Mr. George's blended cocktail and doing business with the agreed client, Miao Meng was still thinking about this email.

If you post an ad on the bulletin board, you'll get not only commissions, but also all kinds of "enhancement, acceleration, delay, beauty, skin care" ads.

In this regard, at least it’s a commission, which is a good thing... right?

But in Miao Meng's mind, the rating of this email can only be C+.

S-level people are those who clearly state their social status.

Level A refers to those who state their needs, desired price, and available meeting time.

Level B is the person who writes down their needs.

Level C is the person who only says "I want to entrust".

I gave it a "+" because the wording was respectful and polite.

“(When I’m busy, I don’t even want to reply to this kind of email.)”

But unfortunately, Miao Meng has been very idle recently.

And very poor.

If I keep picking and choosing, I won’t be able to afford the new Bronte red carbon eyebrow pencil that Qimi will release next month.

Therefore, after the transaction was completed, she still replied with a passionate email with a straight face, asking about the other party's needs.

What video do you want?

Someone's secret? The surveillance at a black hotel? The dirty deeds of the BCPD? A real record of a cyber couple with a unique way of playing being admitted to the hospital? The last wail of a cyber psychopath before his brain burns out?

At least give me some direction.

Miao Meng thought so, and then received a reply that night.

"What kind of Mewtwo does Miss Mew like?"

"……what?"

When Miao Meng saw this line of words, the Budweiser synthetic biscuits in his mouth almost fell out.

what's the situation?

Miao Meng has been in this business for so long, but this is the first time she has seen a client who does not tell the producer about his or her own hobbies but instead asks the producer about his or her hobbies.

What is this doing?

Hey, you're not trying to chase me, are you?

Miao Meng began to search in his mind for any guest who might have a Latin-mixed, literary pseudonym like "Oblivionis".

Just then, there was a ding-dong sound.

Another message.

It was sent by Oblivionis again.

"Please forgive my intrusion. The content of the custom video I need is rather special and difficult to explain simply. That is why I am looking for a capable Mewtwo producer."

"I also looked at the official Mewtwo producers. Their prices are quite high and they are transparent and open, but most of them are lacking in quality and do not meet my requirements."

"So I started looking on online bulletin boards. And then I found you."

"I watched all the public videos posted on your personal homepage, Miss Miao Meng. I was deeply moved by your unique perspective, excellent technical skills, sense of rhythm and spiritual editing techniques."

"It can be seen that you are greatly influenced by the shooting techniques of Kelly Eurodine and Gochard Livre, such as the timing of panning and the handling of flashbacks. These characteristics are particularly evident in your OSE-P800 series and VESS-II series. I especially like the film numbered OSE-P813. The camera follows the child's perspective through the warring streets. The appropriate cuts make the cruelty and innocence form a perfect contrast. In the middle, the white flash segment is the finishing touch. I think the soft exposure technique is used there. I rarely see Chaomeng using this technique. It is more often used to create dynamic photos..."

If she was surprised just now, this time, Miao Meng was completely shocked.

Oblivionis sent a long review. It is obvious that this customer really watched all the videos that Miaomeng put on his personal homepage in order to attract customers.

Moreover, I also wrote film reviews.

Miao Meng must admit that the film review has a good point of entry. Very tasteful and knowledgeable.

She had never come across such a client before.

She was a little touched.

No, maybe not even a little bit.

"I'm amazed. How did you learn these skills?"

Oblivionis continued to ask questions, but following those words, the questions were not at all abrupt, but seemed very sincere.

Miao Meng usually doesn't answer these questions.

...But Oblivionis praised her.

"I taught myself. Mainly through the learning videos of U-tube and Sin Fix, and the free AI error checking of Blues..."

After Miaomeng replied, Oblivionis's email came again soon. This mysterious guest actually said that he also liked to use Blues' free AI error checking, but he used it to check music.

Such a profound amount of knowledge made Miao Meng even more amazed.

After that, the two kept in touch via email for a few days.

"What type of port are you using?"

"Your technology uses MAX Type 6 access lines. I heard that its transmission speed is very fast, but it takes up a lot of memory."

"This area is very dangerous, and is usually under Level 2 control. How did you get in? You don't look like you have any experience in firefights..."

"Sorry, that sounds like your real name, so I naturally assumed..."

Oblivionis always found a way to start a conversation naturally, and Miao Meng said more than she thought.

But the reason why Meow Meng, who came from a low-class background and for whom vigilance had become her instinct, let down her guard was because Oblivionis was also telling her her own intelligence.

Oblivionis is a girl, younger than Meow had imagined... a little younger than her. She has received a good education, can play the piano, likes Morfonica's songs, and has composed music before.

Both sides knew too much.

I can't even figure out whether it's a business contact or an online romance.

Miao Meng would occasionally wake up suddenly and warn himself not to get too close to unidentified people online.

But soon, he would lose himself in Oblivionis' polite praise.

Just when Miao Meng thought, "Forget it, it's not bad to just keep chatting like this"...

Oblivionis sent me an email.

"I'm convinced. You're the perfect person."

"Let's meet."

The mysterious guest finally made an appointment to meet.

……

coming.

This day has finally come.

Standing in the bathroom of the bar, Miao Meng fiddled with her bangs in front of the mirror and let out a long sigh.

Miao Meng has handled several thousand orders, if not 10,000. She also chose the place where the appointment was made. It was the bar where she worked, her territory.

But now, she still felt a sense of nervousness for no reason.

"(Keep calm, Meow Dream!)"

Miao Meng took one last deep breath, then walked out of the bathroom with a perfect smile.

She walked along the corridor with ease to the box, then opened the door in one go.

Behind the door, a young girl was already sitting there.

Light blue-blond hair, golden eyes, a face with a sharp jawline. A beautiful girl...

"—"

Miao Meng froze in the field of view of the infrared probe's prosthetic eye.

You can change your clothes, your look, and your name, but the ID code you scan won’t change.

Data will not lie.

All are 3, a rare panel - now [Calmness] is 4 -

"Good evening, Miss Meow Meng."

Isn't this the homeless girl who was cheated out of 30,000 yuan by her and thrown out of the bar?! ?

Miao Meng almost ran out of the door.

Chapter 23 Investment requires caution

Miao Meng almost ran out of the door.

Almost.

Because what Xiangzi said next stopped her in her tracks.

"Honeycomb sent me here."

Xiangzi spoke.

Meow Dream stopped.

She had heard of that company. It was a medium-sized agency, one of the many entertainment companies in Lezhicheng.

She remembered it because it had a fairly popular band under its banner that advertised for it every day.

It seems her name is...sumimi.

Miao Meng turned around and looked at Xiangzi again. The light in her artificial eye flickered slightly.

This guy changed his clothes. Not to mention how expensive they are, but at least they don't look like they were picked up from a garbage dump. He didn't wear a mask today, so the right side of his face that was blocked last time is now visible. Prosthetic eye... I didn't scan this last time, it's a new one. It's from [Qilusi], mid-range, high cost performance.

It seems that there is something small in his hand.

With that pretty face, he looked like a decent person.

“(The situation changed in a very short time.)”

Miao Meng narrowed her eyes slightly.
