"Yeah, let's do this for now. I'll hang up first, David!"
Lin Mo said a few casual words and quickly hung up the phone.
Although he couldn't see David's face, Lin Mo could guess that there would inevitably be a little resentment on his face.
How can anyone just praise someone for becoming a legend in the future, and then hang up the phone as if they were perfunctory...
But Lin Mo was not in the mood to think about this. After hanging up the phone, he looked at Kitagawa Hao seriously and asked doubtfully: "Gunshot?"
"Yes, it was gunfire. It should not be far from this bar. Although it was very slight, I have a hearing enhancer, so I can still hear some movement."
Kitagawa Hao nodded, then squinted his eyes without saying a word, focusing all his attention on his ears, distinguishing the faint sound of gunfire.
"Let me go, are you listening? You can hear the gunshots outside the bar." Lin Mo was a little surprised.
You must know that the partition walls of Lizzy Bar are all made of sound-absorbing materials.
In the suite, even the deafening sound from the ballroom became as subtle as a kitten after being blocked by the wall.
This also ensures the privacy and quietness of the suite. Even if the guests make any small moves, they will not be killed.
How could Kitagawa Hiroshi hear the gunshots from an unknown distance outside under such circumstances?
It's definitely not an exaggeration to say it's easy on the ears.
Beichuan Hao opened his eyes and saw Lin Mo's surprised look, and felt a little proud in his heart for no reason.
It made this kid look at me with admiration!
"I didn't expect Mr. Lin to make mistakes sometimes." Beichuan Hao smiled pretending to be mysterious, straightened his back slightly, and asked proudly:
"Jun Lin, what do you think is the most valuable prosthetic body on my body?"
"Isn't it the skin guard of your epidermis?" Lin Mo was confused, but quickly guessed the correct answer:
"Are you trying to say that that mediocre hearing enhancer is your most valuable prosthesis?"
Kitagawa Hao nodded:
"Although it's a bit surprising, this is the correct answer. The hearing enhancer can collect sound waves and then transmit them to my auditory nerves after processing the data information. However, it has also been adjusted and processed so that it is only particularly sensitive to sounds such as gunshots. As for the rest of the sounds, you have to adjust the settings.”
"That means you are particularly sensitive to gunshots, and the settings for other sounds must be adjusted to get enhanced effects?" Lin Mo summarized the information.
"Well, speaking of which, this is also the prosthetic body I got by accident. It is said to be an original product from the laboratory. Of course, it is not the best version after so many years, but it is still durable." Kitagawa Hiroshi pointed to his ear. .
"How much can I get if I sell it?" Lin Mo asked curiously.
Kitagawa Hiroshi stretched out a finger proudly.
"Fuck, one million!" Lin Mo was shocked and couldn't help but feel that he had underestimated everyone in the world after all.
Beichuan Hao twitched the corners of his eyes and waved his hands: "No, Mr. Lin misunderstood. This thing is just a piece of personal equipment. How can it be worth one million, which is only 10,000 euros."
......That's it?
Lin Mo blinked and sighed, looking a little disappointed.
He didn't dare to say that the short-sleeved shirt he was wearing under his coat was already a famous brand worth more than 10,000 yuan.
"Then you just said you heard gunshots outside. Could it be that the Tiger Claw Gang came over?" Lin Mo asked again.
"Uh... no." Kitagawa Hiroshi continued to listen carefully:
"It seems like a small-scale gang fight. Wait, why are there so many explosions?"
"Could it be that those people would rush into the bar? Are they from the Tiger Claw Gang?"
Lin Mo was wary and silently held the black unicorn beside him tightly. A picture could not help but appear in his mind:
Several members of the Mox Gang tried their best to block the members of the Tiger Claw Gang who came to cause trouble. These Tiger Claw Gang members were driving sports cars and motorcycles at high speed. The two sides shot at each other and bullets flew everywhere.
"No, now that the Mox Gang is full-fledged, the guys from the Tiger Claw Gang still don't dare to stretch out their hands to cause trouble. It should be one or two unknown small gangs fighting."
Kitagawa Hao squinted his eyes and listened while explaining the situation to Lin Mo.
Lin Mo frowned and continued to ask: "Can the fight between two small gangs affect us? The Mox Gang can't even defend a bar?"
"Well...that's not true. I just heard the gunshots and told you, Mr. Lin. There are people from the Mox Gang guarding the bar. They don't dare to come near here." Kitagawa Hao analyzed carefully.
"Damn, why don't you just say Gil!" Lin Mo cursed in a low voice, speechless, feeling that he was just wasting his expression.
Fuck, listen to his tone, look at his expression, and the phone call that interrupted me before...
Lin Mo almost thought that the battle was raging on the front line. Adjutant Kitagawa Hiroshi ran in and said that he, the commander, was urgently needed on the front line for support, or that he could find an opportunity to sneak away at any time.
Dare to love is the fight between two boys in the village, but this guy thinks that "two great emperors fought to the edge of the universe, and the avenue was wiped out."
"Isn't this normal? Just a few gunshots scared the shit out of you?" Lin Mo continued to curse in a low voice.
In Night City, not to mention a few gunshots, it would not be strange to see someone peeing in the street while walking on the street.
After all, when night comes in the City of Night, many sins hidden in the night will bloom like an epiphyllum, which is the spark from the muzzle of a gun.
The timid kid didn't dare to cause trouble during the day, so when night came, he used the night as a cover-up, as if he thought that this would make him more courageous.
Beichuan Hao did not feel ashamed because of Lin Mo's abuse. Instead, he said with a serious face: "Lin Jun, do you know why I pay attention to these gunshots?"
"Because you are so idle." Lin Mo almost didn't want to talk to this guy anymore. He was wasting so much time playing Mewtwo this time.
"No, my functions there are still normal." Kitagawa Hiroshi didn't seem to know that this was just a joke, and continued to express his thoughts:
"Every gunshot means an opportunity. There is an old saying in China, "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman gets the benefit." When the gunshot sounds, no matter who the two warring parties are, as a third party, we can always look at it from the sidelines. If the situation is profitable, get involved. If there is a risk, just turn around and leave!”
Kitagawa Hao's eyes showed a hint of covetousness:
"As a gang, the Mox Gang is destined to take into account their own position and cannot take action casually. But we are different. Mr. Lin, the two of us are just ordinary fringe people who can be seen everywhere. We have nothing to do with our position and can intervene whenever there is profit. Mind your own business!”
"Let me tell you first, I am not a nosy person!" Lin Mo interrupted: "Besides, your main purpose of saying this is probably not for that little benefit."
"To be honest, Mr. Lin, I need money... not only to repay your kindness, but also to pay back the money and give my sister a good life. If it were normal times, I would rarely care about these things, but it's different now , I am already penniless!" Beichuan Hao's expression was serious, and it didn't seem like he was telling lies.
The implication is that he is a poor man and needs to find opportunities to make money.
Lin Mo looked at his expression, frowned, and thought deeply.
He remembered the text plot on the simulator yesterday, and it seemed to mention that he would encounter some trouble tonight, right?
Lin Mo recalled it for a moment, and suddenly felt a little confident.
Yesterday's simulation reward was 1 expertise point and 1 attribute point.
The reason is probably due to the small-scale battle encountered at noon today, as well as the troubles and conflicts tonight.
The occurrence of these two events resulted in the appearance of attribute points and expertise points as simulation rewards.
If he hadn't followed Hiroshi Kitagawa, this friend he finally got to know might have lost his temper. If he had gone with him, the benefits would not be huge, but he could also figure out the rules of the simulator based on this incident.
It's just a minor nuisance now.
If in the future the simulator describes that he has encountered a big trouble, he doesn't even have a comparison, that would be too passive.
"Lin Jun, if you don't go, I will go alone. If something cannot be done, I will be back soon." Kitagawa Hao bowed and apologized, and was about to leave, but saw Lin Mo also picking up the samurai sword. Stand up.
"Let's go, there's nothing wrong with watching the excitement." Lin Mo said with a smile.
Having said this, he drank the remaining juice on the table in one gulp, like a strong man using strong drinks to strengthen his courage when going out, and the sword in his hand shone brightly in the reflection of the lights in the bar!
...
After walking out of the private room and arriving at the ballroom, Lin Mo glanced at that location subconsciously, only to find that the man with the slender prosthetic hand implanted was missing.
Outside the bar, the sporadic gunshots became obvious. Even without a hearing enhancer, Lin Mo could hear the sounds coming from the road not far away.
"It should be a parking lot." Kitagawa Hao judged, he was very familiar with the nearby area.
"let's go."
At night, Night City looks like a creeping giant just waking up from its sleep.
The flashing neon lights and holographic projections in the city shroud the entire city in bright light pollution. It seems that this place has descended into another world, but after all, this prosperity does not belong to everyone.
Walking on the road, there are few pedestrians, and the few people who are homeless are looking for a warm place.
Finally, the two came to an empty parking lot where many vehicles were parked, as well as several scrapped car shells.
There were flames burning in several cylindrical iron buckets with barbed wire on them and barbecue materials placed around them. It seemed that someone had just held a small party here not long ago.
There were loud gunshots on the field, and more than a dozen people dressed in different costumes occupied half of the parking lot, while two people held on to the other half.
The two of them were leaning on the back of a modified SUV, and from time to time they raised their guns to fight back. Faced with the attack of more than a dozen people, the two of them seemed to be able to handle it with ease.
Lin Mo recognized this model - the Emperor 720, a car with strong armor plates and bulletproof glass. After modification, it drove on the road, just like the emperor was driving on a personal expedition, and no car could stop it.
Turning his attention to the two people, Lin Mo's pupils shrank instantly.
He suddenly discovered that these two people happened to be the man with the strange prosthetic hand he saw at the Lizzy Bar, and the old man dressed as a western cowboy.
Since the parking lot is an open-air parking lot and is close to a commercial street, Lin Mo and Kitagawa Hao hid in the trees in the green belt to observe the situation on the field.
Their location is very secretive.
"Lin Jun, let's stay here first and don't expose ourselves for the time being." Beichuan Hao turned his head and warned Lin Mo.
However, he got stuck mid-sentence.
Because he saw Lin Mo spread his hands helplessly, sighed deeply, raised his finger and pointed in a direction.
Following his instructions, Kitagawa Hao shifted his gaze.
Three panting men holding firearms happened to run here and seemed to be resting. Then Kitagawa Hiroshi saw the tattoos on their arms, which were exactly the same as the tattoos of the small gang on the field.
It looks like they are here to provide support?
Beichuan Hao saw the three people, and the three people also saw Beichuan Hao.
Both sides stared at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into a strange silence.
A young man reacted immediately and shouted loudly:
"There are their reinforcements here. Let's get over here and deal with them first!"
