Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 82 60. Ways to Know People
"Sorry, are you okay?"

The blue-haired girl sitting on the ground heard Carl's voice, raised her head and looked at him, her purple prosthetic eye flashing, as if it started scanning the moment she raised her eyes.

'Gaius Brutus, from Heywood, 17 years old, criminal history, illegal sale of Mewtwo, NCPD bounty none.'

After the information scanned by the artificial eye entered the girl's mind, she also understood Gaius's identity.

"The rumored experience student?"

There was no special expression on her face. The blue-haired girl just shook her head slightly, refusing Gaius's help, and then stood up from the ground by herself: "I should be careful when I walk around the corner."

After saying this casually, the blue-haired girl walked around Gaius and continued walking forward. It seemed that she didn't care much about the accidental collision at the corner.

"I will be careful."

Gaius said something behind the blue-haired girl, not sure if she heard it or not, and then he flipped his hand over to hide something.

When he bumped into the girl just now, he took something from her.

Gaius had noticed the camera at the corner. In the collision just now, he took advantage of the dislocation and used the blue-haired girl's body to block his little movements.

He took a few steps as if nothing had happened and arrived at a blind spot of the camera that he had observed when he toured the school yesterday. Then Gaius took out the card-like thing he got from the blue-haired girl and took a look at it.

'I got the prize.'

The card-like thing in Gaius's hand is called a vehicle control chip, which is a device equivalent to a car key in 2075.

Just like the car keys of previous eras always had a special matching appearance, the luxury cars in 2075 will basically have a special chip appearance. Thanks to the popularization of Oliver and Jack, two car lovers, Gaius has recognized what car the chip key is just from the appearance of the chip.

[Herrera Outlaw GTS]: The top-level Spanish motor vehicle, with the most unique and popular models on the market, the perfect combination of technology and classic exquisite design, hand-crafted by the world's top engineers, is one of the most expensive models you can see on the market that can be legally driven on the road.

As a student at this age, he can own the key to such a valuable vehicle. The father or mother of the girl he just bumped into must be a senior executive of Arasaka Corporation.

I originally just wanted to touch something as an excuse to get in touch again, but I didn't expect to win the jackpot.

You can't wait for a big prize like this. It would be bad if you wait until she realizes that she has lost it.

With the vehicle chip in hand, Gaius turned and chased after the azure-haired girl.

"Wait a minute, you dropped something."

Hearing Gaius' voice, the blue-haired girl paused for a moment and turned her head. When she looked at what Gaius was holding in his hand, her eyes were slightly stunned.

"This is yours, right? I just took a few steps outside and found it stuck on my sleeve."

Gaius smiled as he approached the girl and handed over the vehicle chip he was holding.

The blue-haired girl looked at the vehicle chip that Gaius handed over, but did not take it immediately. Instead, her purple artificial eye flashed, and after scanning Gaius again, she stretched out her hand: "It's mine."

The right hand she stretched out was very white, and it was obvious that it was a hand that had never done any hard work, but the ring finger was a silver-gray color different from the rest of the right hand. A closer look would reveal that it was a prosthetic finger made of machinery.

The hand gently placed on Gaius' palm, and then slid out of Gaius' hand and took the vehicle chip away, without letting the fingers touch Gaius' skin during the whole process.

"Thank you." Holding the vehicle chip in her palm, the blue-haired girl thanked Gaius softly.

"It's okay, I was the one who bumped into you."

In fact, to be precise, it was the girl who bumped into him. Gaius just walked to that position at the right time. However, since he wanted to leave an impression on people, there was no need to worry too much about this kind of thing.

After nodding to the girl and concluding the second conversation, Gaius turned around.

Too much is as bad as too little. The contact in the morning is enough now.

The first collision leaves a minimum impression of the face, and the second conversation with the help of giving objects deepens this impression.

When you meet someone for the first time, leaving an impression on both sides can lead to the next conversation.

There will always be opportunities in a month. As long as there is the first formal conversation, the second one will often follow. By then, it will be much easier when you are familiar with each other.

"Let's make her the first contact person. Next, we need to see if there are other Arasaka Academy students who are willing to talk to a trial student like me. We can't let anyone go. It's best to get to know them all. Maybe they have the information we want."

After washing his hands in the bathroom, Gaius walked back. Only five minutes of the twenty-minute break had passed, but Gaius no longer planned to contact more people.

During the break of the first class, Gaius was satisfied with having someone leave an impression of him.

As I said, as an experience student, you cannot be so ostentatious for the time being. If you accidentally bump into one person at the corner, it is an accident, but if you bump into two people, it seems like you did it on purpose. On the first day when the school will definitely pay the most attention to you, it is best to pretend to be an ordinary, silly street kid.

Gaius thought so, but things did not develop as he expected.

Not long after he walked out of the bathroom, three male students in school uniforms stopped him in the corridor.

"Are you the intern Gaius?"

The leading male student had short golden hair. When he saw Gaius coming towards him, shaking the water droplets on his hands, he first carefully took a step back, and then called out to Gaius who was about to move forward.

"Is something wrong?"

Gaius glanced at the male student and the two men who looked like followers behind him, and didn't quite understand why they were stopping him.

Is it possible that on my first day of school, I will face the bullying and ostracism of the common people by the rich second generation?

Can you bear it?
Eighty percent of them can’t stand it.

He was thinking that if a fight broke out, should he blow his opponent's head off first, or kick Gaius under his crotch first, and then he heard words that he didn't expect.

"Are there any films?"

The male student lowered his voice and, accompanied by his two followers who looked expectant, carefully moved closer.

"I've seen your information. You used to sell Black Mewtwo on the street. Do you have any good ones? The academy and my family are too strict. I can't buy them. Do you have any channels?"

Gaius suddenly felt that he seemed to have a way to get to know most of the male students in Arasaka Academy.
