Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 415 28. Drone

Arasaka Nobuyuki's personality is calmer than expected.

This was Oliver's evaluation of Arasakase Nobuyuki after spending a morning together.

If Oliver didn't know Arasaka Nobuyuki's identity, he would never believe that this man who watched TV in the suite, occasionally contacted others with his mobile phone, and chatted with them from time to time was really the most rebellious rich second generation in Arasaka.

Oliver had been prepared for Nobuo Arasakase to take them out to travel around Night City as soon as they arrived. However, Nobuo Arasakase unexpectedly stayed at home. It was almost time for lunch, but he didn't even show any intention of taking off his bathrobe. It was obvious that he was going to stay in the room all day.

I heard that he used to be a street gangster, but I can't really tell from the way he looks when he stays at home. Could it be that there is a change between being young and old?

Oliver kept thinking about his employer. Jack and V from the team stayed in the suite next to the rooftop and the open glass, serving as guards to prevent possible entry. Only Carl sat on the sofa, occasionally chatting with Arasakaze Nobuyuki.

"What are you going to eat for lunch?"

He spoke in a very natural tone. After all, Arasakase Nobuyuki had been on the streets for who knows how many years. The accent in his voice gave Carl a very familiar sense of déjà vu, as if a mercenary was asking his companions where they were going to eat.

"The hotel suite in the Blue Bi Building should be safe."

Carl thought for a moment and said, as a bodyguard, his priority must be the safety of his employer, and the hotel meals in the Ganbi Building are obviously the most trustworthy food.

"That kind of food is boring to eat."

Arasakaze Nobuo shook his head: "It's a rare trip to Night City. You are locals here after all. Do you have any delicious food to recommend?"

"As for recommendations, I remember Oliver helped me make a food record of Night City. Oliver, is that file still there? Send it to me."

Hearing Carl's voice, Oliver, who was thinking, subconsciously carried out his request. Only after completing it did he realize that it was Arasakase Nobuyuki who wanted to eat local food.

'Very down to earth, totally different from a corporate dog.'

"drop."

Carl received the food records on his phone and flipped through them. He asked his employer, "Are there any dietary restrictions, Mr. Sei Xuan? Does the food have to be made from real ingredients or something else? Is it okay to use synthetic ingredients?"

"I can eat anything, as long as it tastes good."

Both are edible.

Arasakase Nobuo is really acting more and more like a street person. After changing his identity and covering his face, who would know that this is Arasakase Nobuo?

But this is not bad, it is much better than being with those strict corporate people who glare at you all the time.

"How's the Old William hotdog stand? Do you like hotdogs, Mr. Seto? A big one costs ten euros. It's made of 80% real worm meat. People who have eaten it say it's good. Although I haven't tried it, my friends have given it good reviews. If you want to order, you can also order pizza. Although it tastes like dry cardboard, the ingredients are very solid. The bread is made of flour ground from Junji wheat, and the locusts sprinkled on it have a burnt flavor when chewed."

Worm meat hot dogs, locust pizza, these were things that Carl couldn't get used to for a while. Now when he told them to Arasakase Nobuyuki, Arasakase Nobuyuki didn't even blink, and even showed a bit of nostalgia:

"Locust pizza? I haven't had this for a while. If you think it's good, order it. I just want to try the taste of Night City."

"You'll be satisfied." Carl looked at his phone, rented a delivery drone, and entered the relevant identification code into it, and asked it to go to the familiar stalls to purchase instead. After doing all this, Carl looked at Arasakase Nobuyuki who finished chatting about lunch and continued to lie on the sofa. In the end, he couldn't help but speak:

"Come to think of it, Mr. Naoki, when you commissioned us before, didn't you say that you might need us to accompany you to various places in Night City to meet people? Does that mean we don't need to today?"

"You don't have to go out today."

Arasakase Nobuo was half-lying on the sofa very naturally, changing the channel of the TV, letting it show news about South America. Then Arasakase Nobuo continued, "Today I will meet someone, and that person will be here soon."

'Someone will be here soon?'

Who will come?

Such questions lingered in the minds of the bodyguard team until a while later the drone flew to the 100th floor of the Ganbi Building.

Ordinary drones are not qualified to fly to the height of the 100th floor. In the short time of climbing or approaching, it will be locked and destroyed by the defense system of the Ganbi Building, and hackers in the building will also try to break into it. However, this delivery drone was rented by Carl, and it was input with the relevant identification code given by Lai Xuan, so it hovered smoothly outside the bulletproof glass on the 100th floor.

"I'll get it."

Jack approached the bulletproof glass window and used his current authority to open the window. He was about to get their lunch from the approaching cargo drone when he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

The human sense of smell is very sensitive to smells, and it usually takes only 1 to 3 seconds to distinguish different smells. However, because Jack installed the violent type, all indicators of his body were much better than those of ordinary people. It only took him a very short time to distinguish the smell he smelled after opening the window.

This is not the smell of hot pizza and hot dogs.

Jack was very familiar with the smell that rushed into his nose as the bulletproof glass window opened outside.

This is the smell of gunpowder.

"Pong!"

Amid the explosion, Jack closed the bulletproof window.

In the firelight, the side of the bulletproof glass facing the window was impacted, and some tiny spider-web-like cracks appeared.

"It looks like this is a blast-resistant window."

Jack turned and spoke to everyone in the room, and Karl also received a message on his phone at this time.

'After system inspection, the drone delivering the package to you was attacked when it was still 20 meters away from you. According to the drone delivery regulations you signed, you will be responsible for the damage this time. Please pay the compensation on time within the next half month.'

“It looks like someone has looked up the delivery data for the drones I rent regularly and is keeping an eye on my usage records.”

This was Carl's evaluation after reading the text message. Then, he looked at Arasakase Nobuyuki who was a little surprised because of the explosion outside the window.

"Mr. Setobu, our lunch is gone."
