Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 267 29. Preparing to move
"What, you gave me this car?"

After parking the hovercraft on the top floor of the apartment building, Carl called Mr. Kenichi Shiro, wanting to ask where to return the car, but was told that he just had to come back and the car would be given to him. He was a little confused.

So, you really just treated the so-called car return deadline as a reminder for me to come back. You gave me the car and you didn't plan to take it back, right?

Facing Carl's daze, Kenichi Shiro's answer was bland: "You'd better buy the top floor suite. That way, if something happens, you can get there quickly with a floating car. Cars on the ground are still too inefficient."

"oh oh."

Carl answered, and when he was about to say something else, he found that the call was hung up.

Mr. Kenichi Shiro seemed to be very busy. After learning that Carl had returned, he went back to work.

'A wealthy boss.'

Carl muttered to himself, then went downstairs to find Jack and Oliver who were still looking for a house for V.

"We need to tell them about the transformation of the hovercraft into a squadron mobility vehicle."

The people who were originally discussing which house to rent were shocked when Carl came over and told them about the hovercraft. Now they also had an answer to the question of which house to rent.

"Let's just rent both floors of the top floor. One floor will be used as the living area, where we can put a kitchen and a pool table for entertainment, and the other floor will be where we live. The space of the entire floor is enough for us to divide it into several rooms. If we rent both floors at once, we can also have a rooftop to park the hovercraft."

Oliver's suggestion was agreed by Carl and Jack.

The team usually gets together for gatherings, and compared to a group of people gathering in an apartment room where there is not much space to mess around, a whole floor is obviously more comfortable. What's more, a team living on two floors is worthy of their current status, and there is some guarantee of safety.

“It shouldn’t be too expensive to rent the whole floor.”

V was a little worried about the price of renting the house. He knew in advance from Oliver that a room in this apartment building would cost 1,000 Euros a month. Could he afford this price for a two-story luxurious apartment plus a helipad on the rooftop?

"Don't worry, V. Once you do a few missions together, you'll find that rent isn't a problem. And if we share the cost, it shouldn't be a big deal. Wait a minute, Jack, check out the price for renting two floors and the helipad. I'll ask T-BUG if he wants to live with us."

Carl, probably because he has too much savings, has no idea about money anymore. He just got a second-hand hovercraft from Kenichi Shiro for free, which can easily sell for tens of millions of Euros. Compared with the rent, he cares more about the opinion of T-BUG, the last team member who is not here.

T-BUG is a hacker. For hackers, environmental safety is obviously the most important thing. After all, they cannot fight against hackers online, and destroying hackers' bodies in reality is a standard trick for some people. If T-BUG can move in and live with them, there is basically no need to worry about safety.

"me."

T-BUG thought about it. Although she was saving money now and planned to save enough money to buy a quiet island to live out her retirement life in peace, if she shared the rent with Carl, would the cost be acceptable? The efficiency of making money with Carl was too high. According to T-BUG's estimation, at this rate, she would be able to retire and live out the rest of her life comfortably in a few years. During these years of making money, it seemed no problem to pay a small amount of money to ensure the safety of her savings.

The only thing that T-BUG was a little concerned about was that, as a woman after all, living in the same apartment with a group of men, even if the rooms were partitioned, wouldn't it be a bit inconvenient?
It's not very convenient but if it's these guys.

"Count me in too."

Thinking about the personalities of these people, T-BUG felt that there was no need to hesitate and accepted his companions' suggestion of sharing the house.

Although V didn't know them very well yet, she had seen the personalities of the other guys in the past few months. For example, Oliver, who kept talking about his sister all the time, always saying that he had a glorious past and had charmed countless people. But according to T-BUG, maybe 90% of that was just bragging. As for Jack, there was no need to worry about him since Misty was around.

Next up is Carl.
Compared to Oliver, who at least occasionally uses Mewtwo to vent his desires, T-BUG can only say that Carl's desires are really shallow.

Carl had a date with some high-ranking military technology personnel on Christmas Eve, but he actually brought back some food, intending to eat it with them, and did not bring any extra food. From a companion's perspective, T-BUG was very happy about this, but from a woman's perspective, Carl was half useless.

If it were a smarter street kid, being able to get close to a senior military technology executive would be a sure chance to hook up with a rich man. Even if the hope was slim, there would be many people willing to get close to him. But he only thought about food.

If Karl is not really not interested in this aspect, then it can only be said that
This guy is very skilled and easy in dealing with women, and he knows how to strike the right balance.

Looking at the enthusiasm with which he receives various messages every day, compared to the boastful Oliver, maybe this guy Carl is a playboy to some extent?
When T-BUG's thoughts were gradually drifting away, V hesitated for a moment, thought about the remuneration he and Carl had received for their work, and agreed to Oliver's suggestion.

V now has only a basic idea of ​​the speed at which Carl's team makes money. In fact, he has no idea how much he can earn, but he cherishes his friends very much. Carl and other friends in the city are like the only tribal family members he has in the bad land of Night City. So he doesn't plan to be alone when his friends are together.

Family should stay with family.

What's more, I heard that there are a lot of rooms, and the personal space is separated like tents in the wild. Those two floors are the tribe's camp.

You will understand it if you think about it in reverse according to your own thinking.

The moving plan, which was agreed upon by the entire team, was quickly implemented.

After canceling the lease renewal for Oliver and Carl's room next month, Carl and his friends asked about the monthly price for the two top floors.

I don’t know if it’s because these two floors have never been rented out, or because of Carl and his friends’ reputation, but as soon as the property manager heard that Carl and his friends were coming to rent the place, he offered a very affordable price.

It only costs 30,000 euros a month, which means 6,000 euros per person, which is enough to cover it.
