Chapter 27 Taking You to the Moon
The noisy reports from the TV gradually woke up the drowsy Leon. He rubbed his swollen and painful temples and looked around blankly.
Fortunately, he was not kidnapped. This is Leon's exclusive room in the business building. The decoration and configuration inside are all customized by him. There is no other room in Night City.
"It's my fault. I didn't expect your alcohol tolerance to be so bad. You slept for an entire afternoon after drinking a sip of wine."
Lucy's charming eyes showed a trace of guilt. She walked forward and touched Leon's forehead: "How do you feel now? Are you feeling better?"
Lucy's palms have been transformed by prosthetic devices. This half-flesh and half-alloy texture gives her hands a wonderful touch of alternating cold and hot.
"Much better, you don't have to feel too guilty. The main reason is that I am not used to the wine here." Leon smiled and held Lucy's hand, stroking her slender and white fingers.
"Leon, you are very special. You have the most advanced prosthetic device, but you are reluctant to use it on yourself. Are you afraid of cyberpsychosis?"
Lucy and Leon were very close, as if they could hear each other's heartbeats. She looked at Leon's brown eyes, trying to understand each other's background.
"Everyone is desperately stuffing prosthetic devices on themselves, fearing that they will be crushed by others if they are weaker. I hope to end this boring arms race."
"Relax your body and leave some space for your soul."
Leon's words made Lucy laugh. He was obviously the largest arms dealer in Little Chinatown, but he was thinking about ending the arms race.
What else can he make money from? Should he change his career to sell toys?
But when Leon said this, his eyes looked sincere. At least Lucy believed it 80%.
"Leon, have you been to the moon?"
"No." Leon shook his head.
Lucy came forward and put her arms around Li Ang's neck, leaning against his ear, and whispered with her fragrant breath and soft voice: "I can take you to the moon, do you want to come?"
Li Ang: "...Okay."
Immediately, Lucy took out the long-hidden super dream video tape.
The clouds outside the French window were brewing rain, thick clouds were surging, thick pillars penetrated the layers of haze, the spire tore through the rolling fog, and thunder began to rumble.
After nearly an hour, the rain finally poured down from the clouds, and the rounds of thunder mixed with the rapidly spreading water mist made the city more moist, humid, charming and charming.
And the two people in the room had fallen asleep.
……
I don't know how long it took, when Li Ang opened his eyes again, he found that his room, which should have been messy, had become neat and clean.
Everything that happened last night seemed to be just a moment of a dream.
However, Li Ang felt that his body had become much more refreshed and comfortable, with a kind of refreshing feeling.
"White Queen."
[I'm here. ]
Li Ang awakened the AI artificial intelligence White Queen in the system and bound it to this small Chinatown business center building.
At present, all business transactions of LA Company are carried out in this building, and these massive amounts of data information are the best culture dish for AI White Queen.
In addition, AI White Queen can also play a role in monitoring market business behavior and monitoring this building.
In this way, Li Ang can also know who has entered his room, which is also sufficient for his personal privacy and security.
As for AI Red Queen, Li Ang decided to send another person to transplant it to the network of Delaman Company.
The largest taxi company in Night City has already enabled AI Delaman, and Delaman controls all business activities.
Although the current AI Red Queen cannot directly devour AI Delaman for the time being, it can hide secretly and lie on the network of Delaman Company to monitor and suck blood to grow!
If we talk about which company in Night City holds the most secrets, it is definitely the low-key but powerful AI Delaman Company!
After all, big shots always have the habit of talking about conspiracies in the car.
And the neutral Delaman will not leak secrets to other forces, but will record them silently and store them as data.
"White Queen, help me deal with a batch of weapons orders worth 1 billion euros. Please make the fastest operation plan."
Leon gave instructions to the AI White Queen, trying to test its functionality.
Along with a slight electric current sound, Leon heard the mechanical sound synthesized by electronics.
[At present, it takes three months for LA Company to digest the 1 billion euro weapons order in Night City. The fastest solution is to conduct overseas trade through Watson Seaside Port, and the transaction can be completed in half a month at the fastest! ]
Leon nodded thoughtfully, and the answer given by the AI White Queen was similar to what he imagined.
The business transaction lines opened through overseas trade are much longer than doing business only in the tiny place of Little Chinatown!
And taking over the right to use the Watson District waterfront is exactly Li Ang's next goal.
"White Queen, help me get through to District Chief Lucius, and tell him I have a business deal to discuss with him."
[Okay, getting through to Councilman Lucius Ryan... Please wait! ]
...
...
Watson District, NCPD Branch.
Last night's heavy rain washed Night City brand new, and District Mayor Lucius, who was in high spirits, was humming a little song happily, preparing to go to the Super Dream Club to relax after work.
Just now, Lucius learned through the relationship of the Internal Affairs Department that his competitor Wilton Holt was suffering from a rock boy named Johnny Silverhand.
Because the lyrics of this guy's rock songs are all about criticizing corporate greed and scolding the incompetence of the Law Enforcement Department. It's okay to sing some rebellious songs, but this kid's ability to incite is also very strong!
The situation in the Heywood District is becoming chaotic and uncontrollable because of Johnny's existence. This is definitely good news for Lucius to be promoted to mayor!
In addition, there is another good news. He just finished a phone call with Leon ten minutes ago and learned that the other party was willing to invest up to 10 billion euros in the construction of Watson District!
When the former Mayor of Night City, Richard Knight, planned Watson District, he was going to make it the first medical center in the western United States.
Super-large medical centers, towering skyscrapers, magnificent seaside docks, vast and neat industrial areas... In short, the people's livelihood buildings here are complete and the business is prosperous.
But this beautiful city picture is limited to the planning map. The reality here is:
The Kabuki District is full of dirty and messy brothels, crowded and dirty night markets, and indescribable stench everywhere.
Little Chinatown is full of fried chop suey stalls decorated with red lanterns and neon lights, cheap second-hand stores, and bad cosmetics stores.
Even the industrial area and the seaside entrance in the north have only developed a small area, and large areas of vacant land are almost abandoned and overgrown with grass.
