115: Arriving at the most beautiful city in the world - Coconut Juice City (narration)

Westbrook, is one of Night City's districts, and also one of the most charming, yet contradictory and conflict-ridden places in this cyberpunk metropolis.

Located in the eastern part of Night City, the Westbrook district is adjacent to Watson District and the city center, and its livability and entertainment value rank high among all districts in Night City.

You ask why? Of course, it's because this is home to Night City's two renowned residential areas—North Oak and Charter Hill—as well as the famous entertainment district—Japan Street.

North Oak in the Westbrook district is one of Night City's most luxurious residential areas, where most residents can be considered wealthy and social elites (lol).

Charter Hill, on the other hand, is the preferred choice for many corporate middle managers.

In Night City, as long as you can live in these two places, picking up girls at a bar late at night will be twice as effective.

If you're even more shameless, you can even get free *companions* based on this status; it's said that some well-dressed scumbags do just that.

Some insiders once revealed some internal information:

Shameless Scumbag: To be honest, getting free stuff is really great. What? You say paying is also great? No way, no way, there's no one who pays to watch videos, right?

Unknown Client: Damn it. Those dishonest scumbags ruined things, now the credit of this status is severely devalued, so much that I can't even get credit at Jig-Jig Street anymore!

Unknown Companion: Him, damn it, I thought I hooked a sugar daddy, but I ended up hooking an idiot! What a fucked-up world, what a fucked-up Night City! FK!

Alright, now that we've heard the information enthusiastically revealed by insiders, let's continue introducing the wonderful place that is Westbrook.

Since Jig-Jig Street was mentioned, we have to talk about Westbrook's third sector—the entertainment sector, Japan Street.

Japan Street, as a very famous entertainment center in Westbrook, and even Night City, naturally has its unique qualities.

It's filled with love hotels, hostess clubs, and themed shops, and is synonymous with desire, indulgence, and decadence.

Whenever night falls, neon lights illuminate every corner of Japan Street, attracting countless pleasure-seekers.

Whether you're a corporate executive on a whim, ready to try something new, a low-level employee tired of the one at home and determined to indulge for a few days, or just an "honest person" looking for excitement, Japan Street can provide services to your liking.

Perhaps some people dislike that it's not high-end enough, but friends, for a *companion* who takes out loans to upgrade their gear, is on call 24/7, works year-round without rest, and charges low service fees, how can we demand that they become high-end?

Think about it carefully.

If you are still determined to pursue high-end options, perhaps Clouds would be a good choice?

50 years ago, Westbrook was reduced to ruins by the nuclear blast wave near the city center.

50 years later, due to the intervention and reconstruction by Arasaka Corporation and other companies, it gradually recovered its former prosperity, becoming one of Night City's most complex and fascinating landscapes.

Here there are the rich, celebrities, social elites, as well as commoners, vagrants, gang members, mercenaries, and criminals.

This is Night City's entertainment hub, filled with the dual temptations of luxury and decadence, yet at the same time, it's no different from other places in Night City, full of money, betrayal, and desire.

Whether you accept it or not, this is the true face of Westbrook, and of course, the true face of this world.

To live a fulfilling life here, you must carve out your own path.

Only cunning and greedy sinners can find a place, while foolish and ignorant idiots can only be thrown into the trash can!

Welcome to Westbrook!

...

"Static, static, static."

Under Fang Yun's preset command, thunder's in-car intelligent control system automatically adjusted the car radio channel from "Westbrook" to "Night City Music Radio".

After the radio channel was adjusted, a dynamic piece of music immediately came from the car speakers.

"Bo Bo Ji~, Bo Bo Ji~, Ding Ding Dang Dang..."

Following the brainwashing rhythm of the music, the three people in the car couldn't help but sway their heads.

Toke swayed his head while complaining:

"Fang Yun, that darn Westbrook channel is just fooling outsiders who don't know the truth."

"It sounds like they're talking about real things, but once you get to Westbrook and see it, you'll find it's completely different from what was described."

"You don't seem like someone who doesn't know the real situation in Westbrook, so why would you have the leisure to listen to this kind of thing?"

Hearing Toke's complaint, Fang Yun swayed his head and laughed heartily:

"Hahahahaha. Isn't this my first time in Night City? There has to be a sense of ceremony."

"Anyway, I'm free, so listening to the introductions of all the districts in Night City isn't bad."

Valentine immediately spoke after hearing Fang Yun's words:

"I bet you won't want to listen to this kind of thing a second time!"

Hearing Valentine's words, Fang Yun laughed again:

"Haha. You're really right, I might never want to listen to it a second time in my life."

"This thing is like chocolate-flavored corpse rice; it looks okay on the surface, but once you look closer, you can't even bear to look at it."

After Fang Yun finished speaking, shaking his head, Valentine and Toke were instantly amused by his strange metaphor.

"Hahahahaha, it really is like that."

"Interesting, interesting. It really has to be you, Fang Yun. How could I not have thought of such a perfect metaphor back then."

thunder's car windows were closed, so even though Fang Yun and the other two were driving in the busy downtown area, their laughter and chatter weren't heard by pedestrians on the sidewalk.

Because it was a red light, Fang Yun could only chat with Valentine and Toke while waiting.

The other direction of traffic had a green light, with over 30 seconds remaining.

Numerous pedestrians walked past thunder's car.

Some were neatly dressed, radiant, and full of energy, seemingly living well; others wore standard work uniforms, stained with oil, looking disheveled and haggard, likely drained of spirit by companies or factories.

Fang Yun continued chatting with Valentine and Toke while taking note of the various states of the pedestrians crossing the street.

「Overthrowing this world is indeed imperative.」

「Contact more people, expand influence, create organizations, change the world.」

「With the cheat in hand, I will definitely succeed.」

「The current problem is that while material conditions are not a concern, ideological transformation and spiritual civilization construction can only be pursued gradually, not rushed.」

「Tsk, changing the world is indeed a complex and lengthy process, thankfully I can wait.」

「Once this world is transformed, I will have a powerful logistical base for conquering the myriad worlds in the future.」

「The road ahead is long and arduous, I will strive to seek. The task is heavy and the road is long.」

Thinking of this, Fang Yun couldn't help but sigh.

Fang Yun sighed, not because he was afraid of failing to achieve such a difficult goal, but because he was worried about the huge workload in the future.

Fortunately, Fang Yun has xxx (Rental Slot), which can easily solve various problems.

Valentine and Toke, who were chatting happily with Fang Yun, heard his sigh and were suddenly a little confused.

"We were chatting fine, why did you suddenly sigh? Could it be you're worried about the commission?"

"No way, with Fang Yun's strength, does he need to worry about a small delivery commission?"

"But doesn't this commission involve the Vortex Gang?"

"Even so."

Valentine and Toke opened a private communication channel and had a quick exchange.

Then, they heard Fang Yun say:

"Ah~. Why is this red light so long, I've waited so long the flowers have withered."

「Back in the game, whichever intersection I drove to, that intersection would turn green, I didn't have to wait for red lights at all.」

Valentine and Toke heard that Fang Yun sighed because the red light was too long, and couldn't help but look at each other.

『This kid must have suddenly lost a screw.』

『I think so too.』

After exchanging a look, Valentine and Toke unanimously decided to temporarily ignore the "idiot" that was Fang Yun.

Anyway, the location where the goods are stored is not far ahead, and when they get there, Fang Yun should return to normal.

The green light turned on.

Under the gaze of Valentine and Toke, who were looking at him like an idiot, Fang Yun turned on his low beams and then shot out with a launch start.

The two who had decided to keep quiet immediately couldn't hold back.

"Bush, Gorman. Why are you using your low beams in broad daylight?!"

"Hey, hey, hey, this isn't a joke, speeding over 120 in a busy downtown area will attract the NCPD!"

Hearing Valentine and Toke's panicked voices, Fang Yun grinned.

"Woohoo, taking off!"

「Although I sighed for no reason and made a poor excuse, that's no reason for you two to treat me like an idiot.」

Amidst the stunned expressions of numerous pedestrians and drivers, Fang Yun drove thunder, zipping through the intersection at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour.

A pedestrian standing at the intersection, hesitating whether to run the red light, was instantly stunned.

He raised his slightly trembling hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Mom was right. I'll never run a red light again."

...

Seven or eight intersections away, in front of two or three shops.

Relying on his "superb" driving skills, Fang Yun threaded his way between countless vehicles, staying just under the 120 km/h speed limit.

After successfully "flying" through the intersection just as the last bit of green light faded, Fang Yun and the other two arrived at the original location where the goods were stored.

Thanks to Fang Yun's self-proclaimed superb driving skills, both Valentine and Toke got out of the car with pale faces.

Seeing Valentine and Toke looking like they were about to throw up, Fang Yun grinned and asked with concern:

"How do you two feel? Do you need to find a corner to throw up for a while?"

Seeing the schadenfreude on Fang Yun's face and hearing his annoying tone, Valentine and Toke first exchanged a look, then simultaneously took two steps forward and each grabbed one of Fang Yun's arms.

Fang Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately felt that things were not good.

Sure enough, after grabbing Fang Yun, Valentine and Toke instantly started throwing up with a "whoa".

Fang Yun's hair stood on end, and Krennikov was activated by the shock.

Taking advantage of the time dilation effect provided by Krennikov, Fang Yun quickly activated Void Walker and broke free from Valentine and Toke's grasp.

Fortunately, Valentine and Toke weren't holding on too tightly, otherwise Fang Yun might really have gotten puked on his legs by these two.

Valentine and Toke each threw up once, and then dry-heaved for a while.

It wasn't until they felt recovered that Valentine and Toke straightened up.

As soon as he looked up, Valentine saw Fang Yun looking at him with a resentful gaze from not far away.

Facing this situation, Valentine originally wanted to apologize, but in the end, he couldn't hold back and grinned widely, laughing gleefully.

Toke had slightly better self-control than Valentine and didn't laugh out loud, but for some reason, his shoulders kept trembling.

There was a small alley between the two shops, and walking down the alley, you could see a small store.

The owners of the two shops on either side saw someone vomiting on the street, and even puking in front of their shop entrances, and immediately wanted to come out and confront Valentine and the others.

However, when the shop owners saw the clothes and firearms on Valentine and Toke, their steps, which had been aggressively moving outwards, couldn't help but slow down.

Ultimately, neither of the shop owners came out of their doors to confront Valentine and the others.

After all, risking their lives for a little vomit didn't seem worth it.

Although Valentine and Toke weren't that kind of people, the shop owners didn't dare to gamble.

Fang Yun noticed this, his mouth twitched, and then he activated Human Intelligence Ascension to crack the independent networks of those two shops.

Afterward, Fang Yun gave a little money to each of the two shop owners and sent an apology message.

Then, Fang Yun pulled Valentine and Toke, who were still laughing, towards the alley between the two shops.

"Huh? Fang Yun, don't pull me, I haven't compensated the shop owners yet."

"Yeah, I haven't compensated them yet, don't pull me."

Fang Yun pulled Valentine and Toke along while replying:

"I already gave it, 10 Euro each. That's enough to hire a vagrant to clean the street 10 times."

"Now let's quickly go to the original location where the goods were stored to ask about the situation, and then we can start the slaughter."

The owners of the two shops were somewhat surprised to find a transfer in their accounts, and upon closer inspection, they were even more surprised.

However, before the two shop owners could exclaim, "There are still good people in this world," they vaguely heard Fang Yun saying "start the slaughter."

In an instant, the hearts of the two owners turned cold, colder than the heart of a RT-Mart employee who had been killing fish for ten years.

『How could I possibly think there are still good people in this world? Am I an idiot?』×2
