The villain knight doesn't want to be a hero

"But having said that, I suddenly remembered that Lucy, you seem to be a bad boy who doesn't like going to school."

He yawned and joked to the hacker girl sitting opposite.

And these words obviously made her expression suddenly stiffen.

As mentioned, Lin Qiao once suggested that she go to school and experience the campus life she should have.

But he was directly rejected by the other party.

"It doesn't matter anyway. Since you teach me, there's no need to go to school to learn."

"That's true, but the meaning of going to school is not limited to learning knowledge."

"for example?"

"Like making some friends or something...Look at you, apart from me and Sasha, there seem to be few people you can talk to."

Even sometimes Sasha is a bit redundant.

Lin Qiao pinched her chin, recalling her campus life before time travel and added:

“And life is incomplete if you have not experienced the tension of making up for homework at the last minute before handing it in.”

"...I really don't expect that kind of life at all."

Lucy couldn't help complaining about the former school scumbag's ideas from half a century ago.

The arrival of a group of rich second-generation students added a lot of popularity to the store.

It also made the originally relatively quiet environment become a little noisy.

However, most of what this group of rich second-generation students talked about was not related to study.

This is of course, after all, with their background, there is no need to care too much about this.

As long as the grades are not too bad and you can tell your parents when you get home, you will naturally be assigned to the management after leaving campus, and then step by step you will take over the class of your elders.

When life goes smoothly, the so-called school is just a transitional place.

——Having said that, for Lin Qiao, who has already held the card of Saburo Arasaka in his hand, the students of Arasaka Academy and their parents are just dogs that can be manipulated... nothing more than The levels are different.

But at this moment, the automatic sensor door of the dessert house opened again.

A student who was also from Arasaka Academy, but looked a little panicked, ran in panting slightly.

He didn't look like a diner. As soon as he came in, he looked around looking for someone.

"Too slow, David Martinez."

As if they were dissatisfied with him, a table of students sitting in the corner said angrily after seeing the intruder.

"It takes so long to even deliver something. Sure enough, low-class people are low-class people. If I were you, I would have dropped out of school in shame. At least I won't be in the company in the future."

"Sorry, I gave it to someone else before, so it's a little late..."

"What does that have to do with me? Don't make excuses for your incompetence. I just know that you made us waste time."

He waved his hand impatiently, interrupting David who was about to say something else.

With their arrogant looks, if you didn't look at the uniforms of both parties and just looked at the conversation between the two, it would be difficult to think that they were classmates.

The two women and one man accompanying him also laughed mockingly.

You can see that the student named David tightened his fists...but in the end he still didn't have an attack.

"Okay, have you brought the things? I didn't come here to waste time just to educate you."

It seemed that his mood had improved because he vented his grievances and being in the limelight in front of his companions, so his tone softened a little.

He showed some mercy to his nominal classmate.

The latter took out a few small square bags the size of chewing gum from his pocket and placed them on the table of the other four people.

"Black Mewtwo...will Arasaka Academy students sell this?"

Seeing this scene, Lucy couldn't help but have doubts.

Compared with regular Mewtwo, the contents of Black Mewtwo often contain extreme violence and erotic content, and therefore are officially prohibited from sale.

Often only some unscrupulous vendors will appear on the street corners to sell.

Although it is not an unusual item, it would seem strange if it were replaced by the rich second generation of Arasaka Academy.

"Arasaka should be recruiting ordinary students through private expansion."

After a little thought, he came up with the young man's situation.

Due to the poor educational environment, parents in Night City don't have a strong idea of ​​letting their children go to school - anyway, no matter how hard they learn, they can only do so well.

Rather than spending money and wasting time in that terrible place, it is better to find a job early to support the family, so as not to starve to death one day.

Then it becomes a vicious cycle.

And in Night City, do you want to achieve a counterattack in life by simply working hard?

Basically unlikely.

Of course, the basic meaning is not completely impossible.

Except for working as mercenaries like Man Yin and others, unrealistically thinking that one day they would live to become a legend, or be recruited into a company.

He could only hope to get admitted to Arasaka Academy, become a slightly more advanced wage earner after graduation, and ride the waves in the workplace.

However, if you take this path, in addition to having extremely high requirements on your own performance, the high tuition fees are enough to dissuade most people.

"His family should love him very much. I hope he can be successful in the future..."

Otherwise, it would be impossible to pay the tuition fees, which can be said to be sky-high for ordinary families.

But unfortunately, reality is not a workplace drama.

Even if ordinary people without the support of powerful people survive, if they want to get promoted and get a raise, they should just work hard to gain seniority and pray that they won't take the blame for their bosses.

Lin Qiao shifted her gaze to the young man named David.

Even though it's sad to say it, the other person's current situation has been settled. At least his classmates are still willing to pay for things.

When they leave campus and join a company, their current classmates and future bosses will take credit for their hard work and late nights, leaving only an empty sentence: "You are still young, don't just think about money." That is the beginning of the ordeal.

In short, whether you want to be a mercenary or a company dog, neither path is easy.

And it's the kind of person who, if he takes one wrong step, will turn into a corpse on the roadside and become a stepping stone for others.

"Let's go Lucy, it's time to go home." After swallowing the last sip of coffee and asking the Alipay girl next to her to pay, the two left the dessert shop in a low-key manner.

Just the sight of the two leaving behind slightly attracted David, who was trying to raise the price.

Chapter 339: Then why don’t you find someone quickly?

An atmosphere of silence and a hint of embarrassment enveloped Lin Qiao's small clinic in Heywood.

Man Yin and Lin Qiao sat opposite each other, neither of them saying a word.

But compared to Lin Qiao, who had a scrutinizing look in his eyes, Mainin's expression was obviously a little embarrassed.

Pila and hacker Qi Wei, who was wearing a red metal mask, sat aside. The two deliberately distanced themselves from Mann, and they looked gloating, obviously just for fun.

As the eldest sister of Mann's team, Dolio looked like she had a headache.

In a sense, the fact that Lin Qiao didn't curse now meant that the other party was calm enough.

Anyway, go back in time a little bit.

A week doesn't go that fast, but it doesn't go that slow either.

During these days, except for a cybermaniac who appeared at the municipal center and beat more than 20 policemen to a bloody pulp, Arasaka thought that someone else wanted to imitate Johnny Silverhand and try to sway the tiger away from the mountain. A nuclear bomb was used to blow up the outside of Arasaka Tower, and everything else was peaceful.

However, just a few days after Lin Qiao got back the general-grade Si'an Westan, Mann came to the door...but not to get the goods.

According to his own words, during this period he found another supplier. Considering the cost issue, he could only say sorry to Lin Qiao.

But there's nothing you can say about it. After all, buying and selling is all about mutual consent.

If someone thinks your price is too high and wants to find a cheaper one, there is nothing they can say... not to mention he won't lose money.

After sending Main away, he went to give the Sian Westan in his hand to the priest.

The latter was also very straightforward and didn't even pay back the price - military-grade prosthetics are inherently priceless, let alone first-hand.

This deal is worth it.

Originally, things were pretty normal up to this point.

But not even a night later, Man Yin came to the door and asked Lin Qiao if there was any more goods.

No, are you serious?

Or do you really think that I am offering a seven-day return without any reason?

"Seriously, Manin, if time could go back 300 years, I would definitely send you to Moore Manor."

“…”

Mann scratched his head in distress.

Just like the general public in Night City, he was completely unqualified in history and did not understand the meaning of Lin Qiao's words... except that they were definitely not good words.

"Sorry, K, it's just that I really didn't expect that the supplier this time would suddenly run away..."

"She said she urgently needed money. Because she was a trustworthy partner in the past, I had no doubts."

"But I didn't expect that as soon as I paid the money, she disappeared."

As he spoke, it was unclear whether the look on Man Yin's face was regret or embarrassment.

And other people on the side echoed, making trouble for their boss.

"Who asked you to pay first?"

"It's unbelievable. Children in Night City all know that one hand pays and the other hand delivers the goods, right?"

"That is to say, after all, it is Man Yin's own fault for being betrayed."

The ridicule from his teammates also made Mann, who was already suffering from telecom fraud, become even more irritable.

With a "Shut up" blurted out, the others clicked their tongues and fell silent.

Hunting geese all day long, causing the geese to peck their eyes... This is the situation of Man Yin,

Obviously, he has been around the City of Night for many years, and he has encountered all kinds of dirty and disgusting things, and he has taken appropriate precautions, but in the end he still fell into trouble.

"But even if I say that, I can't help it. After all, after you said you didn't want it, I just gave it to someone else."

"Others? Who?"

If possible, Mann plans to talk to that person and see if he can buy it back... although the chance is a little small.

"Father."

"..."

Okay, then there is definitely no way to come back.

Although there are many priests in Night City, there is only one who can eat military-grade Siamwestan.

Sebastian Ybarra, Heywood's biggest and best-known middleman.

If Lin Qiao sold it to the other party for 30 euros, then it would cost at least 40 euros to buy it back.

——This does not include the cost of installation.

It's a pity that Manyin and the others obviously can't afford so much money... Even if they do, their vitality will be severely damaged.

Once something goes wrong in the next mission, life for the entire team will not be easy.

Not to mention that they had already been defrauded of 10,000+ euros. If they wanted to raise the money in a short period of time, they would have to borrow loan sharks.

What's worse in the end is that with the priest's methods, it is estimated that Si'an Westan has already been sold to others by now.

"hateful.....!"

Thinking of this, Man Yin felt even more headache.

If I had known that this would happen, I would not have been greedy for cheap, or I should have been tougher and ask for payment and delivery, otherwise it would not have become like this.
