"Alright, you help me deliver that car to this location."
"Yes, we've all moved to Watson District now. You should know about this, given your information, shouldn't you?"
"Okay, thanks, Old Captain."
Carefully driving the car, Jax had already returned to the main road of Rancho Coronado.
The person on the phone was Old Captain, who had specifically called to inform Jax about the motorcycle.
This made Jax suddenly realize that he had been too excited about the car at the time and had completely forgotten Sasha's motorcycle there… However, that motorcycle had Sasha's GPS system and even came with a recovery function.
Although that thing might not be reliable, if it really got lost, the difficulty of getting it back wasn't very high. After all, only Sasha had ever stolen other people's things; there was no reason for anyone else to steal hers…
After hanging up with Old Captain, Jax drove carefully, afraid of scratching his "new car."
This was the first time he had driven a car in so many years… How to describe this experience? It was indeed one of the things men loved most.
And Jax driving like this caused some traffic congestion. After all, a car driving leisurely at less than forty miles per hour on the main road naturally made the cars behind honk their horns non-stop.
But Jax didn't care at all.
Damn it… What's wrong with me driving slowly?
Which law in Night City does driving slowly break?
Still doing as he pleased, Jax drove towards Heywood, planning to take the Heywood road back to Watson District.
The road from Santo Domingo to City Center had too much traffic, and Jax was afraid his driving skills weren't good enough.
But soon, Jax realized he had overthought it.
It seemed that because his skill attribute points were very high, Jax gradually became proficient from his initial unfamiliarity, and his super strong attributes allowed him to quickly master driving skills.
And if it were the kind of driving mode where he connected to his body, under his super strong body control ability, perhaps… Jax would become Night City's new car god?!
Never mind… Jax had no intention of doing such a thing.
At the edge of Heywood, if he wanted to drive back, taking the fast route would involve a big detour. So, after some thought, Jax came up with a good idea.
Hmm… Since he was already in Heywood, he might as well go see what Lucy was doing.
In a dimly lit room in a skyscraper in Heywood, sticky residue from torn-off posters remained on the walls, and within this small apartment, some storage boxes of various sizes were neatly stacked in the corner.
Lucy, with her fair feet on a cabinet, reached out and opened the box on top, inventorying her belongings.
In three days, she would be moving to Watson District.
She had already prepared for the move early. The reason she hadn't moved immediately wasn't that Lucy was bothered by the rent, but that she had quite a lot of things.
All sorts of personal items, most of which she couldn't part with, were small objects Lucy had collected from all over the world.
These trinkets weren't valuable, but they carried all of Lucy's memories from her journey.
Thinking of this, Lucy's beautiful face suddenly showed a hint of daze.
She never thought that one day… someone like her would move in with people associated with words like "friends" and "family," terms that should have nothing to do with her.
Thinking of this, Lucy suddenly felt that a certain saying was very true: most lonely people are lonely not because they reject liveliness.
Rather, they only possess loneliness, so they can only force themselves to enjoy it. Gradually, they become immersed in loneliness and start to fear unfamiliar, lively things that have been clearly demarcated.
Other people's initiatives and goodwill, in the eyes of these people, become a threat, threatening the "protective wall" they have painstakingly built.
Lucy originally had this wall, and the person who broke her wall… Actually, just one step out is enough. Take one step out, and you'll realize that everything was just complicated by yourself.
Thinking, Lucy took out the Braindance from inside the box.
"This Braindance… it's better to keep it with me." Lucy put the Braindance chip into her pocket and walked barefoot towards the bed.
Just then, a call came in.
Looking at the caller's name, Lucy answered the phone the next second and said coolly, "Hello?"
Jax said from the other end, "I'm heading to your place now. Get your things ready that you want to take. I'll help you carry some. Don't you have a lot of stuff?"
"Did you pick up the car?" Lucy asked.
Many people knew about Jax picking up the car today, after all, he had been talking about it for two days.
Sometimes Lucy felt Jax was more mature than herself, but… in his excitement about picking up the car, Lucy had to say, Jax was indeed a young kid.
Hmm, he was only just an adult, wasn't he?
Just an adult… as if remembering something, Lucy froze and her teeth began to itch.
The freshly adult 'native goods' had been snatched up by Sasha first. She really had the nerve, and not only did she take him, but she also wanted to monopolize him?
Why?
"How long until you get here?" Lucy asked.
"About fifteen minutes. I'm about to get off the expressway. Once I'm in the city, it won't be far from your place."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Lucy nodded.
After the call ended, Lucy quickly changed her clothes, taking off her somewhat old-fashioned fleece pajamas and putting on a black tank top, black hot pants, and a white jacket as an outer layer.
These were Lucy's favorite colors and style. She didn't like wearing skirts because they weren't convenient for movement at all.
Then she looked at her face in the mirror and nodded.
Her lip makeup and eye makeup were tattooed on, so there was no possibility of discoloration. However, she needed to be careful with her black eyes, as they could smudge if they got wet.
After getting everything ready, Lucy stood by the door, leaning against the wall, smoking and waiting for Jax's message.
Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang. Lucy looked through the peephole, then opened the door.
"Which of these things do you want to take?" Jax stood at the doorway, smiling, looking at Lucy.
Lucy stepped aside and said, "Come in and talk."
Jax walked inside.
Then, Lucy began to give instructions, pointing to several boxes.
Jax easily stacked the boxes together, one in each hand, leaning them against himself, with the tops slightly overlapping for support.
"Let's go, take these first. Jackie can come get the rest later."
"You can't come again?" Lucy asked when she heard this.
Jax was stunned for a moment and said, "I can, but my car… is a bit small."
Downstairs, Lucy saw Jax's car, parked on the roadside about ten meters from the skyscraper.
"I bought it from Old Captain for 160,000. Looks good, right? This price, this configuration, I made a killing!"
Lucy said nothing, just got into the passenger seat.
This car had a back seat, which was a bit smaller than a normal car's, but could still accommodate two people.
Once in the passenger seat, Lucy looked at the empty passenger seat, pursed her lips, then her eyes moved, and she reached into her pocket. Lucy took out the Braindance, placed it there, then opened the small compartment and put some daily necessities inside, including the things she had used for her eyeshadow earlier.
Jax was only momentarily stunned and didn't stop Lucy. When he saw the Braindance, Jax subconsciously said, "Isn't this the Braindance you bought at the supermarket? Haven't you finished watching it?"
"You never get tired of watching this kind of Braindance," Lucy said softly.
Looking at the passenger seat after she had "decorated" it, Lucy leaned back contentedly and nodded.
Her eyes, beneath her white hair, held an arrogant look, like a cat… a cat patrolling its territory?
Huh?
Wait… when did my passenger seat become her territory?
Jax snapped back to reality.
