Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 107 85. Just Knowing Each Other
"This is the Mewtwo you asked for. It's yours. And you didn't forget the specially customized version, right? You'll have to wait a moment for this. My assistant has gone to get it."

"Assistant?"

The male students who were conducting transactions in a hidden corner felt a little strange after hearing Gaius' words, and then they saw David rushing over in a hurry.

"It's you, David Martinez!"

In the past, the people David sold to were all carefully selected by him, and he would only trade with them after making sure that they would not be exposed. Therefore, most of the students in the academy knew that there was a mysterious Black Mewtwo salesman, but they didn't know who he was. After actually meeting him and discovering that he was David Martinez, many people were shocked.

Especially those students who were in the same class with David Martinez. They looked at David Martinez, who almost always ranked first in the class, and at the Mewtwo he brought over, their emotions at that moment were quite complicated.

The student who always performs better than me in class is actually a Mewtwo salesperson in private.
For many students who are keen on Japanese books, a large number of messy book titles suddenly pop up in their minds, and at the same time, they feel a strange sense of relief as if they have mastered the secret.

"This guy seems to be getting a bit more pleasing to the eye."

It seems that he is not always so outstanding that it makes people feel disgusted. It is so funny that he sells movies in school. After all, he is just a guy from the lower class.

Students of Arasaka Academy, who are from corporate backgrounds, will always pick out the best aspects of a person who is not as good as themselves but does better than themselves because of the competitive spirit they have been taught by their parents. When they find that they are not as good as the other person in the best aspects, they will inevitably have different thoughts in their hearts.

However, this kind of thinking will change when they realize that there is no need to compare themselves with others in the areas where the other party is best, and that they actually have many more advantages than the other party.

Their original sense of arrogance will return along with the pride of their own better status, so that when they see someone who is better than themselves in some aspect, their thoughts will be different.

"No matter how good your grades are, no matter how well you act in the classroom, you are just a commoner from Santo Domingo. When the time comes to join the company, you will still be rejected. It doesn't matter. You still want to join Arasaka Corporation."

Many Arasaka Academy students who were familiar with David Martinez had less hostility and disgust in their eyes when looking at him.

They looked at David Martinez who was busy getting goods, and at his busy appearance while listening to the words of Gaius, the street Mewtwo seller. The contempt they felt unconsciously offset their past rejection of David Martinez due to his achievements.

"He is a full-time student of Arasaka Academy, but he is working for a trainee on the street. In the end, his only ability is to sell Mewtwo on the street."

Although their emotions were changing, the actions of these Arasaka Academy students were not slow. Instead, after they found out it was David Martinez, they smiled at him and used their relationship with their classmates to get him to send Mewtwo to them first.

The rest time is so short, the sooner you get Mewtwo, the sooner you can feel at ease. What's wrong with smiling at others for this?

All classmates
David Martinez didn't know what his classmates were thinking. He only knew that everyone who came was a guest.
As long as he can make money, what does it matter if he responds with a smile? The large-scale sales of Mewtwo are much better than what David Martinez expected. The euros that keep coming into his account are also constantly filling his wallet. Even though David knows that this crazy demand for Mewtwo is only temporary;

After most students got the Mewtwo they wanted, it would be amazing if the sales of Mewtwo in the future were even one-tenth of what they are now. However, the change in the data representing money still made his smile more and more sincere and brilliant.

'If I had known that I could make so much money, no, if it weren't for Gaius, I wouldn't have had the courage to sell in such large quantities, nor would I have the funds to purchase such a large amount.'

While busy, David glanced at Gaius and an idea came to his mind.

Although Gaius said that all the money earned from the purchase of Mewtwo was his own, he was the one who paid for it, promoted the sales, and even conducted the sales. He only helped a little, so he was embarrassed to take so much money with a clear conscience.
Thinking about his mother's talk about the friends she made yesterday and her genuine smile when she ate, David transferred all the money he made to Gaius after the sale during the break.

He and Gaius have personal terminal communications, so there's no need to use hacking techniques to transfer money. He just needs to send it and let Gaius receive it.

'This is the money I made during this break.'

David attached a message in the communication, but Gaius refused to accept the money.

"I told you, whatever you earn today is yours, you don't have to give it to me. I keep my word."

'But this is too much'

"This money is okay, don't worry about it. You need it more than me, don't you? And I don't really want the money from the sale. It's just this time. How to divide it in the future? Haven't we already made the rules? I take 70%, you take 30%, and I have something to take."

'After that, I might not sell that many'

"If you keep going, I will make more money than you can imagine. When my trial month is over, you will be the only one busy at school. You will have to take risks to lead Black Mewtwo. You should give the little money you earn now to others. Besides, I will only take 70%. You can only take 30% for me. If you work in Arasaka in the future, you will be too conscientious. I am afraid that you will be eaten up without leaving any residue."

After hearing what Gaius said, David finally had to accept the wealth with embarrassment. After the break, Gaius returned to the classroom. After ending the communication with David, he opened the communication with Oliver and Jack.

Carl: I found information about our target Tanaka. While chatting with a male student who came to buy Mewtwo, I learned one thing: there is also a student named Tanaka in the academy. He might be the son of our target. His name is Katsuo Tanaka, and I happen to know him.
