"Lin Mo, remember, now that you've chosen this path, my only request from you is to stay alive."
The heart-to-heart conversation between the siblings ended, and Xu Wanxue's words still lingered in Lin Mo's mind, echoing for a long time.
Perhaps in her eyes, it didn't matter whether Lin Mo would achieve some monumental feat or not. She simply hoped he could live a safe life, preferably until he grew old.
When Lin Mo returned to his bedroom, his mind still felt a bit dazed, holding the set of keys in his hand, as if clutching millions of eddies.
He knew Xu Wanxue was wealthy—becoming the vice president of Qian Ti Corporation meant her worth was beyond his imagination.
But he hadn't expected her wealth to be to such an extent, with all kinds of military equipment casually handed over, and even before going to bed, she left him with a sentence saying that if there was anything he wasn't satisfied with, he could come to her, and she would find a way to meet his needs.
"With this kind of military equipment, forget about taking on the Arasaka Tower solo. If all the money were given to V, I bet they could take over Night City itself!" Lin Mo silently complained.
After all, in the game, V was infamous for being a huge pushover. If there was a job, they would take it, no matter how imbalanced the pay was compared to the difficulty.
A few thousand or tens of thousands, and you could hire the strongest living demon in Night City.
"But no matter what, my sister's pampering of me has really reached an astonishing level..." Lin Mo sighed deeply.
Today had been one of the most eventful days of his entire life.
Taking on and completing a commission, visiting the Dream Experience Center to admire art, getting into trouble at night and calling for backup, making friends with a mercenary team, and inheriting his "family fortune" when he got home!
Just thinking about it, Lin Mo was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep, tossing and turning in his bed.
"Forget it, let me use up today's simulation usage."
Lin Mo got up, found the hidden Super Dream Simulator, and put on the headset to start today's simulation.
If all went as expected, he probably wouldn't be going to Arasaka Academy tomorrow.
After all, he had already been honest with his sister tonight, and she was willingly supporting his dream.
School and all that, it just slows me down when I need to swing my sword!
[Simulation Start]
[The next morning, after the exciting events of yesterday, you managed to get a rare good night's sleep. Just as you thought you could skip school and enjoy a lazy day at home, your sister woke you up, ordering you to go to school properly.]
[You're confused, you don't understand. Didn't you talk it over last night? Why the sudden change of heart?]
[However, Xu Wanxue's words leave you speechless: "If you can't even finish your studies properly, how can you talk about becoming a legend? You can't even handle this small matter, and you think you can save the world?"]
[And so, you reluctantly pack your bag, get in your sister's hovercar, and head for the company plaza.]
[Your usual school life is always so dull, but today, you realize something unfortunate—you've discovered that today is the mid-term exam day at the academy, and the worst part is, you haven't studied at all!]
[Wearing the Super Dream headset, you enter the virtual exam hall and look at the paper in front of you, trapped in the ultimate contemplation about life.]
[Why, in the year 2075, is the exam still paper-based? The only difference is the location has changed from a bright classroom to a virtual space inside the Dream Simulator.]
[Why do most of the questions on the test seem so difficult? Your intelligence attribute is at 4, which is considered excellent.]
[Why can't you move in the virtual exam space?]
[Because of this, with the Dream headset on and in the virtual space, no matter how capable you are, you can't cheat.]
[You mutter silently to yourself, Super Dream really is a useless invention.]
[During the lunch break, as you find yourself aimlessly wandering around the academy, a piece of bad news arrives on your communicator.]
[To your shock, you discover that the stocks you've been trading have suddenly crashed for reasons that are unclear, and today you've lost 30% of your savings on the stock market!]
[You feel like crying but force yourself to stay focused. You make a mental note of the stocks that have lost value today and silently remember the ones that gained.]
[The stocks you lost on today, ranked from most to least: Moore Technologies, Zeta Technologies, Dinara Technologies, Dongyue Electronics.]
[The stocks that gained in value today, ranked from most to least: Kanto, Military Technologies, Arasaka Corporation, Kegong Logistics.]
[Ah, the past mourned, yet no one learned from it, and the past only changes the future.]
[Got it?]
[Fuming from the money lost, you receive a call from your sister, telling you she'll be working overtime tonight and won't be coming home.]
[You feel disappointed because it's another night you won't be spending with your sister.]
[So, you decide not to go home tonight and instead head to the Lizi Bar to unwind.]
[As the saying goes, it's better to enjoy with others than alone. You happily invite Kitagawa to join you tonight for some fun.]
[But this guy, who has a sister now, forgets about his bros, and refuses your invitation, saying he needs to accompany his just-woken sister tonight and shouldn't indulge in fun.]
[At night, you arrive at Lizi Bar, intending to vent your frustration about losing money in the stock market and continue the adventure that was left unfinished from last night.]
[During your Super Dream experience, you can't help but admire how great this invention is.]
[After some time, you find yourself contemplating the meaning of life and thinking about the relationship between human desire and reason.]
[Thinking... Thinking...]
[The thinking ends, and you leave the bar to get some fresh air, only to unexpectedly run into someone you met last night—the tech expert Pira and the wanderer driver Falko.]
[Meeting your friends, the three of you chat happily. You gain a lot of knowledge from them, and your horizons broaden.]
[While gaming...]
[While gaming...]
[Having company, you're in high spirits, so you use some of your cash to buy these two friends the bar's most expensive drinks, and they begin to like you more.]
[At 10 PM, after getting Pira thoroughly drunk, you and Falko take him home. During this time, you learn his address, which is in a small apartment in North Industrial District of Watson.]
[You carry Pira upstairs, and after knocking on the door, his sister Rebecca answers.]
[You're surprised because this feisty girl immediately points a gun at your head as soon as she opens the door. Her vigilance catches you off guard. The most surprising thing is, she's wearing a bikini at home.]
[Can you stand this? You just learned... well, you didn't learn anything. Plus, carrying Pira, you can't free up your hands, so you have to endure this feeling of danger.]
[Seeing that it's you, Rebecca lowers her gun in surprise and asks what you're doing there. After some explaining, she realizes that Pira is drunk, and she begrudgingly lets you in and throws Pira on the floor.]
[You feel sorry for your newly acquainted buddy Pira, but there's nothing you can do about it.]
[Looks like he'll be spending the night on the cold, hard floor.]
[Before you leave, Rebecca transfers you 500€ as a thank you, laughing and saying you're interesting. She invites you to come over and play again when you're free.]
[Suddenly, you start to find this long-haired legal loli a lot more pleasant.]
[Returning home, exhausted from the night, you finish cleaning up and fall straight into bed.]
[Simulation Evaluation: A Slightly Unlucky Day.]
[Simulation Reward: Arasaka Academy 2075 Midterm Exam Questions, 500€.]
Lin Mo's eyes narrowed.
There's this too?
Tomorrow my stocks will crash?
Lin Mo quickly removed the Super Dream simulator and went over to his computer desk. After turning on the computer, he quickly logged into his stock trading website and sold all the stocks that had incurred losses in the simulation.
Next, he bought up the stocks that would appreciate tomorrow.
After finishing the operation, Lin Mo finally let out a breath and lazily lay back down in bed.
I must say, having the simulator as a predictive tool is like lying back and making money from stocks.
It's just a shame that stock-related events don't happen every time in the simulation's text records.
But, whenever a stock-related event appears in the simulation, it means he can make a profit.
This is also one of the reasons why he's now fabulously rich.
