Chapter 9 Confidence(1/2)
"What?!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked over in surprise.
"You want to join us?"
"Yes, I want to join you."
Bai Xing nodded heavily, he was sure and sure that he wanted to join this team.
"Why? What's the reason?"
Dolio put down the glass and asked doubtfully: "Have you not been a lone wolf for the past three months? Why do you suddenly want to join a team now?"
"If there's a reason..." Bai Xing thought for a long time, but in the end he just raised his head and said with a smile:
"Honestly, I don't know the reason."
"If I have to choose one, does intuition... count as a reason? In short, it's my intuition, telling me that if I don't join today, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
"What is this-"
"alright!"
Dolio wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Mann raising his hand.
"No need to say any more." Mann grinned and smiled, showing his big white teeth, "I agree! Boy, you are welcome to join!"
"Hey, Mann, is this really okay?"
"No problem, I believe I won't see the wrong person. Come on, boy, come over and have a drink together."
Mann asked Bai Xing to come over and sit down, and then brought him a cup:
"What do you like to drink? Vodka? Tequila? Or cocktails?"
"I actually..."
"It doesn't matter if you don't like it, because we only ordered tequila today, hahaha!"
I actually want to say that I don’t know how to drink…
In desperation, Bai Xing could only close his eyes, his heart pound, grab the cup of tequila on the table and pour it into his mouth.
There was a slight pain in the entrance, and then a strong burning sensation rushed straight into his throat. Bai Xing only held on for a second before he couldn't bear it anymore, and he spurted out with a "pop" sound.
"Ahem...cough...sure enough, I still...don't drink anymore..."
Seeing his embarrassed look, Dolio laughed out loud: "What did I think? It turns out he is just a young boy. I was laughing so hard."
Mann also followed closely and said:
"Hey, you don't even know how to drink? That's not okay. As a mercenary, hanging out in bars is an indispensable part.
In a bar, you can get to know all kinds of characters and find out all kinds of information. If you don’t know how to drink, you will lose a lot of fun!"
In response, Bai Xing could only smile and shake his head.
"Well, let me introduce you to my companions first."
Mann patted Shirahoshi on the back with his modified left hand, with such force that it hurt.
"Let's start with Falco."
"Yo, hello."
Falco, who was sitting opposite, was wiping his face with a tissue. After hearing Mann's words, he put down the tissue and said hello to Shirahoshi.
"Um, I'm sorry..." Bai Xing was a little embarrassed, because the sip of wine he just sprayed all over Falco opposite him.
"It's okay, I don't care."
"Falco is a professional driver in our team, and his driving skills are very good." Mann added, "We have been able to escape death several times thanks to Falco's driving skills."
"Then this is Qi Wei, the hacker."
Qiwei was still leaning against the wall, smoking, and her expression remained unchanged, making it difficult for people to understand.
Mann shrugged upon seeing this and continued:
"She always looks like that, don't mind. And, this is Sasha, I shouldn't need to introduce her too much, right?"
"certainly."
"And Rebecca and Pila." Mann pointed at the little loli who was completely drunk and leaning on Sasha and the punk-headed man who had climbed up from the ground and sat down at some point:
"They are a brother and sister, and Pyrrha is a technician. As for Rebecca, don't believe it - this guy is a real fighter, and he can fight crazier than anyone else. When the time comes, you will remember more
Pay attention."
"Finally, this is Dolio." Mann stretched out his big hand and hugged Dorio's shoulders, "My dear!"
"Come on, don't get carried away." Dolio slapped Mann's dishonest hand away and said, "Welcome, kid."
"Hey, can't you give me some face in front of the new couple?"
"What's the use of your face?"
"You can't say that..."
Bai Xing looked at the two people who suddenly began to quarrel, and then looked around at his companions.
Now, he is also a team player.
"Oh, by the way, don't you have any commissions on hand now?" Bai Xing asked Mann as if he thought of something.
"Why, boy, do you want to express yourself so quickly? It's a pity that the biggest task recently was what happened yesterday."
"Speaking of what happened yesterday, Sasha——"
Mann's expression became serious, and he said slowly:
"Have you read today's news?"
"News?" Sasha was stunned for a moment when he heard this, "I didn't read it. What happened in the news?"
"I saw it."
"The result is, there is nothing..."
Sasha also reacted at this time. She lowered her head in despair and bit her lower lip unwillingly.
Therefore, my own determination and hard work to survive in that situation still made my companions worry...
In the end, is it just my own wishful thinking and useless efforts...
"Understand? Sasha, we are just the bottom layer of Night City, and those big companies control everything! Your life, your entertainment, and even the channels to understand the world!
Night City is just a breeding ground! We are just animals in captivity, and we can make a profit. In the eyes of those dog days, what we do is just like the barking of wild cats and dogs on the roadside.
, not bad!
This world is already rotten."
"That's all, I hope you understand, Sasha.
Okay! Now you all go back to your homes and find your own mother. I will notify you when there is a new commission!"
As everyone took their positions one after another, only Mann and Dolio remained. He looked at Dolio with a wicked smile...
"hey-hey……"
——————————
"So, why should I be responsible for sending you back!"
Sasha drove the car with a depressed look. On the passenger seat next to her, Bai Xing put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes to meditate.
"'You bring people back, you bring them back,' that's what Mann said."
"Damn it..."
The road conditions were not good at this time, and there was a traffic jam in front of Sasha. She honked the horn angrily twice to vent her inner unhappiness.
"Let me tell you, Sasha."
Bai Xing opened one left eye and looked at Sasha, who had the words "I am unhappy" written on his forehead.
"What are you doing! Say something quickly and fart quickly!" Sasha said angrily.
"You actually didn't really listen to what Mann said."
"..."
"Actually, I can understand a little bit...this feeling...the feeling of powerlessness, weakness..."
"No, you don't understand!" Sasha punched the steering wheel hard, "My mother...this could have never happened! It's those hateful corporate dogs! They killed my mother, let alone
There are more people!
Moreover, if I hadn’t discovered it yesterday, I would still be kept in the dark now!”
Her originally fluffy hair drooped listlessly.
"Sasha..."
