Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 38 16. The First Car
"Your breakfast."

"Carl, have you been out for a while?"

Oliver, who was woken up by Carl and was still a little dazed, pushed Jack, who had his feet on his stomach, awake, and then saw the big bag in Carl's hand.

"What to eat?"

“Sushi set, both large portions.”

“Want some sushi?”

Jack also woke up, rubbing his eyes. He yawned, and then smelled a strange smell.

Follow the smell.

"Karl, why do you smell like blood?"

"It's on TV right now."

Carl pointed to the TV and found that it was broadcasting NCPD live, and the content was.
After a heroic fight by NCPD officers, the cyber psychopath was shot dead, and the location was downstairs?

"You encountered a cyberpsychosis!?"

This time, Oliver was completely awake. He stared at Carl's body for a few seconds, and was relieved when he found that he was not injured. "You were implicated. What bad luck."

"Unlucky, but not that bad."

Carl took out the plastic box containing 'plastic' sushi from the plastic bag and placed it on the table in front of the two people.

"I was the one who solved this cyber psychopath."

"what?"

How can buying breakfast involve solving cyberpsychosis?

While Oliver and Jack were questioning, Carl walked to the vending machine to buy them two bottles of pure water and told them what had happened before.

"You weren't dragged into this, you took the initiative to participate. Sian Westin, Mantis Blade, Subcutaneous Armor, you dared to face such an opponent, you really don't care about your life."

Oliver was somewhat impressed by Carl's courage. If he met a cyberpsychopath like this on the street, he would definitely turn around and run away without saying a word.

"This isn't about making some money. Who would have thought that with just 10,000 Euros, we couldn't even get our weapons back."

"If you encounter something like this next time, call us, Carl. It's too risky for you to go alone."

Jack also didn't quite agree with Carl's risky approach, and Carl nodded in response to their concerns.

"I just wanted to test whether my feeling was right. I won't do it again next time."

He is not the kind of person who likes to commit suicide. It is enough for him to feel what Sian Westin has done. If he is to face Sian Westin again next time, he will at least have to upgrade his prosthetic body. Or learn more skills from Mewtwo.

After buying the drinks and throwing them to the two people, Carl remembered the chip he had touched.

"Speaking of which, I also took a chip with me. It's a bit unsafe to directly connect this kind of foreign chip to my access warehouse. Oliver, can I use your computer?"

"Use whatever you want."

With the permission of Oliver, who took out a fork and ate sushi with Jack, Carl walked to the computer in Oliver's room and inserted the chip.

The data was read very quickly. There was nothing special in the chip, just a text record.

But the record of this communication is a bit strange.

'The cherry blossoms born from chrysanthemums and roses have arrived at Nightlight City. 'Nightlight City, Carl could understand it, it should be Night City, but he couldn't understand the code words at all.

What do these chrysanthemums, roses, and cherry blossoms refer to? Are they just flowers?

But the word "birth" is used again, could it be a person?
What this sentence means, maybe it means that someone has arrived in Night City?
There is too little information.

Why a cyber-psychopath would have such a text chip in his arms, and what the meaning of this message was, he had no idea.

But one thing is very clear.

That was the information he got, nothing more.

Carl attaches great importance to the collection of information. Basically, no matter whether it is useful or not, he will remember it in his head, because his talents can only be used to the greatest extent with the accumulation of information.

After asking Oliver and Jack to save some tofu sushi for him, Carl opened other websites and browsed them, and then saw a website selling cars.

“Isn’t this the old captain’s car selling website?”

Oliver, who was drinking pure water and delivering the tofu sushi that Carl ordered, saw the web page on Carl's screen and spoke.

"Old Captain?"

"I heard that the guy from Santo Domingo used to be a corporate dog, but he got fed up with the company's system and quit his job to become a car salesman specializing in selling cars."

“They are all second-hand cars.”

Jack also came over. He knew something about this car-selling website. "Basically, they are all second-hand cars that have been sold by deceased owners or are in a hurry to sell. If you don't mind, the prices are quite cheap."

“It’s really cheap.”

Seeing that most of the vehicles listed were worth less than tens of thousands of Euros, or even less than ten thousand Euros, Carl had some ideas.

"Oliver, Jack, what do you think about me buying a car? That way I don't have to squeeze when I travel in the future."

“Buying a used car?”

Jack stared at the vehicle on the screen: "Will there be any problems then?"

"Captain's cars are still worth trusting. Basically, the cars he has personally handled are clean. You can look at the website to see which ones he is personally responsible for selling. Those cars have been cleaned by him and can be trusted. Forget about the other listed cars. Those things may really be unreliable."

Oliver knew a lot about the old captain's website. Every street kid in the Santo Domingo area had more or less seen the old captain's car selling website. After all, for street kids, what could be more attractive to them than cool cars and handsome and powerful guns?

"So what car do you recommend?"

Looking at the dazzling array of vehicles above, each of which was praised to the skies in the introduction, Carl didn't know much about cars and decided to leave the decision in this regard to Oliver.

"Anyway, let's choose a four-seater first. Although it doesn't matter if we drive two cars over after you buy a car, when we are on a mission together, we still need a four-seater car."

After choosing for a while, Oliver pointed to a car like this, and Carl happened to be familiar with that car. In fact, he was more than just familiar with it, he had also sat in it.

【Sky Hera EC-D I360】

This car, which enjoys a good reputation and is sturdy and durable, can now be bought in an almost new state on the old captain's website for only 31,000 Euros. As for why it is almost new, it is because the person who bought the car was shot by a street thug on the way to pick it up before he even got on the road. After losing the pillar of the family, the owner's family could not afford such a car, so they had to sell it.

"This car is fine."

Carl quickly decided to buy his first car in Night City.
