Chapter 81: French Restaurant
As the saying goes, ignorance is not blame. Ling Luxian is not such a stingy person.
But Lucy felt a little guilty about it. Not only did she recognize the wrong person, but she also hacked into the person's behavioral chip.
If it were someone else, they would have called the police and had her arrested long ago.
Or just lynch her. Anyway, it's common for a few people to disappear in Night City every day. As long as they are not caught on the spot or someone calls the police, the police won't even bother.
Ling Luxian not only forgave her, but also gave her the behavior chip, which made her somewhat embarrassed.
"Well~ I'm really sorry for what happened today. How about I treat you to an apology today?"
Ling Luxian smiled dumbly, "I have an appointment today. If you really want to do this, let's do it another day. Anyway, we will have many opportunities to meet in the future."
Lucy didn't understand what he meant, but since Ling Luxian said so, she could only shrug and accept it.
In fact, Ling Luxian had long had the idea of recruiting Mann's team.
Ever since he learned that he could extract survival points from the team members, he had this plan, but due to various reasons, it was put on hold for the time being.
Otherwise, he would not have allowed Mann and others to fleece him so often.
Although Ling Luxian did not regard money as money, he still understood the principle of repaying kindness with gratitude.
When a favor is too great to be repaid, then that becomes a serious problem.
I didn't expect that Lucy would give me such an opportunity today. I wanted to catch a petty thief, but I ended up finding the thief's lair.
Now the good talent has come into my grasp.
So Ling Luxian said: "Just do what you should do today, and you will understand in two days."
Ling Luxian glanced at the time and felt that he had been out for too long. In order to avoid Gloria's suspicion, he left immediately.
"You haven't told me how to contact you yet."
Lucy was a little confused when she saw Ling Luxian running away without even giving her a chance to speak.
At most we just chatted for a few minutes. We just met and at least had a chat. Is there any need to rush?
Ling Luxian knew that this was a bit rude, but time waited for no one. So he waved his hand without turning back, "Let's talk next time we meet."
"Weird."
Lucy muttered, feeling a little curious about this strange guy.
Ling Luxian ran quickly to Gloria, running so fast that he was a little out of breath.
After all, it is still the native lung, so it is normal to be in a stress state.
Gloria tilted her head and looked at him, and asked, "Is the matter settled?"
Ling Luxian smiled and said, "It's just a small thief, it's no big deal."
"Ah."
Gloria nodded. She didn't know the details, and she didn't want to know. It was not a wise move to ask about the details. She knew that.
Holding the railing with both hands, I looked at the people meditating with the monk under the overpass, wondering what they were thinking.
Ling Luxian gently put his arm around her shoulders and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Gloria came back to her senses, turned to look at him, smiled and said, "Nothing, just wondering why these people are sitting there with nothing to do."
She didn't understand why some people were so leisurely. In her worldview, people had already done their best just to survive.
To do this, she had to resort to side channels.
Ling Luxian followed her gaze and said, "Maybe it's to find inner peace."
To be honest, in addition to material needs, we also need spiritual needs.
For this, the lower class people chose rock music, while these "high-end people" naturally pursue something high-end.
Based on this, believing in religion is a very common thing.
Joshua's Mewtwo sells so well.
In Ling Luxian's eyes, that was all bullshit. He was just a dream dealer who tricked a criminal with faith into committing suicide.
Play a Messiah, like Jesus, and take away the sins of the world.
Mewtwo dealers don't care about any beliefs, they only care about piles of Mane.
Sadly, people need these, even though it's just a placebo and life won't become better because of them.
Ling Luxian respected their beliefs, but he thought it was unacceptable. The world before him was no longer something that could be changed by gods, but by people.
So he paused, and then continued: "Sometimes, we also need such comfort, but don't be obsessed with it."
"That's really a luxury." Gloria sneered, not sure whether she was laughing at them or at herself.
When she saw Ling Luxian solve David's employment problem with just one phone call, her worldview collapsed.
I have lived for so many years. It is not that I do not understand some truths, but I pretend not to understand them. As long as I have not seen them, I will just pretend that they do not exist. Otherwise, all my efforts over the years will be a joke.
Today, Ling Luxian tore off her disguise, and she didn't know whether to cry or laugh. One day, she would actually be able to enjoy the privilege.
"Let's go. I'm a bit bored of staying in this place." Gloria said with some annoyance as she looked at the tall buildings in front of her.
Ling Luxian looked at the time and said, "It's time for dinner now, do you want to go eat first?"
"Okay." Gloria replied. She was indeed hungry, having not eaten a single grain of rice since morning. As a low-level employee, she could only be exploited harshly.
Ling Luxian brought Gloria to the most famous French Bistro in Night City.
Gloria was amazed by the decoration of the French Bistro. She never thought she could step into this place.
After all, it is a high-end restaurant in Night City, and the decoration is top-notch.
The decoration inside looked decent, but to be honest, Ling Luxian didn't like it because it had too much religious atmosphere. It was decorated in gold and looked more like a church than a restaurant.
In other words, the ingredients here are good, all of them are organic.
"What do you want to eat?" Ling Luxian asked.
Gloria flipped through the menu and was so scared when she saw the astronomical figures on it that she snapped the menu shut.
"Let me do it." Ling Luxian took the menu with a smile.
Since it’s a French restaurant, of course you have to eat authentic French food.
So I ordered a plate of snails baked in red wine, French foie gras, a Provencal stew with French armor-piercing bullets, and finally a confit duck leg.
Don't ask why there are birds. Night City's bird extinction law doesn't apply here.
Even those poor Voodoo Gang members can get live chickens, so what's wrong with the Europeans getting some poultry?
Gloria had also looked at the menu. Just what Ling Luxian ordered was enough for her salary for several years.
So she covered her mouth with her hands and whispered, "Why not just not order so much? Just order a pizza."
Pizza? Ling Luxian smiled. The only dish at French Bistro was tuna and pineapple pizza.
“You better not eat this pizza.”
"Why?" Gloria asked puzzled.
Ling Luxian smiled and said, "Because if you eat the pizza here, you might become a wanted criminal."
Pineapple pizza is illegal in Night City, violating the Pizza Blasphemy Act, and a member of the Animal Gang has become a wanted criminal.
I have to say that the Italians finally stood up this time.
