Chapter 767! The girl with pale blue hair
(Lucy)
……
The memorial park in Enterprise Square actually looks much larger than in the game. After all, it is the center of a city. How small can it be? So Shen Ye spent a lot of time walking around the surroundings, during which time he attracted the attention of the Night City police who were patrolling there.
After all, it is very rare to find a natural person who has not undergone any prosthetic modification.
However, the Night City police did not come over to question Shen Ye, but instead guessed his identity from a distance.
Some people think that he should be the heir of a large company and that he has not undergone prosthetic modification because of the use of biotechnology. Others believe that he is a clone of a big shot and that he has not undergone modification just to ensure his health as much as possible so that his organs can be removed and replaced at any time. However, this statement has almost no supporters.
Shen Ye didn't know that these Night City police were discussing him, but even if he knew, it wouldn't matter. He was indeed an outlier in this city... or in this world.
Next, after a stroll, Shen Ye left the Enterprise Plaza and went to the busy street next door, where he soon found a luxury hotel that looked nice.
In fact, there is a bar called Seven Layers of Hell next to the hotel, but Shen Ye really doesn't want to go there...
Money is a good thing. Soon, Shen Ye completed the check-in procedures. The room was on the top floor of the hotel. He booked it for a month. The money he spent was enough to support a platinum membership in the trauma team for a year, but the thing he had the most was money.
Led by the waiter, Shen Ye entered the room, then threw a large-denomination euro to the waiter, and told him to bring breakfast the next morning, then waved his hand and drove him away.
Afterwards, as the door closed, Shen Ye walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and overlooked the entire Night City again.
But this time he didn't think too much. He just thought that he should have a good time in this city during this time.
……
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the waiter delivered breakfast on time.
"Sir, today's breakfast is toast, soft-boiled eggs, bacon, pure milk, and organic vegetable salad. The after-meal drinks and snacks are coffee and..."
Amid the waiter's noisy voice, Shen Ye threw him another bill as a tip and then began to enjoy his breakfast.
In fact, breakfast is quite simple, with only the snacks and drinks after the meal being slightly more advanced. However, this is only for Shen Ye. If it were the lower-class people in Night City, they would probably have only experienced these fresh ingredients in Mewtwo in their lifetime.
“It’s clearly the year 2077, but people’s livelihood is getting worse and worse!”
After eating a bite of the soft-boiled egg which was far inferior to the one made by Joan of Arc, Shen Ye complained in his heart.
The people at the bottom of this world are so miserable. What can they usually eat? It's nothing more than some artificially synthesized food, artificial meat, synthetic spices, and eating a bite of organic food is something they dare not even think about.
Thinking about the reality, no matter how badly one is doing, one can still have a bite to eat every few days. Shen Ye can only sigh that those companies that control the world are a bunch of beasts.
Afterwards, Shen Ye finished his breakfast and sat in the living room to watch the Night City news for a while.
To be honest, Shen Ye was quite interested in the news about Night City at first. It looked very interesting.
However, nothing major happened in Night City in the past few days, and Shen Ye quickly lost interest, but he still switched channels, looking for the show he wanted to watch.
then……
"Good morning, Night City. The results of yesterday's death lottery are out. Unfortunately, a lot of people died yesterday. Seventeen people died in the Kabuki District alone. But fortunately, no Night City police were injured..."
Listening to the host's passionate and regretful voice, Shen Ye nodded: "It seems that those unlucky guys were not listed as missing persons. Not bad, very fair."
Muttering this, Shen Ye turned off the holographic projection, stood up and left the room.
After coming out of the hotel, Shen Ye went straight to the Memorial Park in Enterprise Square. He wanted to try if he could meet David who came to school there.
In any case, this is a poor child. If he doesn't intervene, his future will still stop at the age of seventeen.
Besides...he also wanted to see if he could run into Lucy by chance.
Soon, Shen Ye arrived at the glass plank road of the memorial park. He leaned against the glass fence, smoking a cigarette and watching people coming and going below.
Memorial Park is the terminus of the subway. This is the time when office workers from surrounding companies come to work. These low-level office workers cannot afford hovercrafts and have to squeeze into the subway. So every few minutes, Shen Ye can see these poor low-level office workers pouring out of the subway entrances and exits like a tide.
As for the middle and senior management of those companies, well, they probably don’t need to come so early. At least Shen Ye hasn’t seen any hovercraft flying over the square.
However, Shen Ye's attention was not always on the subway entrance and exit, and he would occasionally look around.
It was clearly demonstrated in the anime "Rampant". David did not get off the bus directly at the terminal. Instead, he got off several stops away and then strolled along the way like a slacker.
David, who came from a poor family, did not like studying at the expensive Arasaka School because he was always discriminated against by other rich children, so he usually did not go to school early.
However, before Shen Ye noticed David, he suddenly saw a hint of pink and blue in the crowd.
"This is... Lucy? Going to work so early?"
Lucy also works part-time as a chip thief, which can be considered as her side job to earn extra money.
However, when Shen Ye was about to take a closer look, the pink and blue color disappeared in the crowd, and it seemed that it had moved to another place.
Shaking his head slightly, Shen Ye did not intend to look for her deliberately. He believed in his luck and he would definitely meet her again.
Afterwards, Shen Ye focused more of his attention on other things.
Another ten minutes passed, and it was almost eight o'clock. At this time, Shen Ye noticed a young man wearing a black jacket and with punk-style hair walking out from under the overpass not far away.
"David Martinez, I finally found you."
Seeing this young man, Shen Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, and at the same time, the experience of this poor young man emerged in his mind again.
Not long after, Shen Ye woke up from his memories and muttered softly: "Poor kid, if you had one-tenth of V's ability, how could you still live such a miserable life?"
While he was muttering, David had already arrived at the bottom of the glass plank road, ran several laps along the garden in the middle of the park, and then slowly walked towards the direction of the Arasaka Building.
That's where Arasaka School is.

(This chapter will be updated early, as I have to go back to my hometown for Qingming Festival tomorrow... As for the second chapter, I will try to find time to write it tomorrow)
(Also, only Lucy’s pictures have been posted so far. As for Rita, to be honest, some people may think that her appearance is not aesthetically pleasing, after all, most of her body has been transformed with prosthetics. There is no need to introduce Evelyn.)
