Chapter 138 Racing Competition

David understood what it meant that there are always people better than you.

I have indeed been too arrogant during this period.

Ling Luxian is now telling him openly that he is the undercover agent he planted in Arasaka, and that just one word from Ling Luxian can ruin his life.

But David knew that Ling Luxian would not do this. With a superior replacement, he would be insignificant at all. Maybe he really wanted to fulfill his dream, so he did this.

After being hit so hard by Ling Luxian, David finally realized who he really was.

"You're right, I was too arrogant."

"Let's go." Ling Luxian pulled him back into the car and said, "It's good that you realize this. Sensual pleasures are nothing but traps of consumerism and barriers that prevent people from making progress."

Ling Luxian didn't say much. He believed David and would not make the same mistake again.

After moving, David stayed awake all night, thinking about something.

The next day, when David returned to Arasaka Tower, he no longer had the same feelings about the place as before.

Ling Luxian watched him leave in a depressed mood in the morning and wondered if the blow to him was too great.

But he has to know these principles after all. It is better to teach him yourself than to let society teach him.

It’s a new day, and it’s time to start a new life.

Now that we have obtained the Sword in the Stone, it just so happens that today is the day when the car race starts.

Ling Luxian has been paying attention to this for a long time.

After all, Ling Luxian still remembers the mission of Claire, the bartender in the next life in the game.

When I was doing her commission, I felt that this person was a bit rebellious. If I don't help you, I won't sell my wine, right? It's as if you are the master of the next life.

I felt some sympathy for her situation at first, but after understanding the whole story, I no longer felt sympathy for her.

In Claire's words, her husband Dean Russell was like a saint. Ling Luxian was shocked. She didn't expect that there was such a good man in Night City.

But in the mouths of others, this is not the case.

When racing, you can learn some information from the racers next to you. Dean Russell is a gambler and has borrowed a lot of money from people around him.

They believed that Dean Russell had deliberately killed himself to avoid the debt. But how could such a scum have such awareness?

A more likely guess is that it was an accident. Dean Russell wanted to win the championship and get the bonus to pay off his debts.

According to the champion of that game, Sampson, this seems to be confirmed.

Dean Russell wanted to overtake him before the finish line, so he stepped on the accelerator, which caused the vehicle to lose control, overturn and die.

In fact, this kind of street racing has no bottom line at all. In addition to normal racing, the co-pilot can also shoot down the opponent.

Of course, there are rules. You can only have one assistant.

Under such conditions, drivers participating in the race can die at any time. Since you have participated in the race, it means you are mentally prepared.

So according to the rules, Dean Russell's death was his own fault, and there was no reason for Claire to avenge Dean Russell.

From the letters from Claire, we can also know that Dean Russell is not good to him and is just after his money.

Besides, he hadn't been home for a long time. Dean Russell's good memories of him were completely filtered.

Ultimately, Dean Russell is straight and Claire is transgender.

That’s right, the original Claire was a man and a colleague of Dean Russell.

If Dean Russell was really gay, he wouldn't have made Claire have sex reassignment surgery.

To sum things up, you can see that Claire is completely love-brained.

He knew that Dean Russell owed money, so it was entirely possible that he committed suicide. After all, suicide was still better than being beaten to death.

It's a bit unreasonable that he still insisted on taking revenge on Sampson.

Of course, Sampson was not a good guy either. In order to win, he bribed members of the Whirlpool Gang, and if anyone dared to drive in front of him, he would let the Whirlpool Gang kill that person. This method was extremely bad.

This bastard used such despicable tricks to become the man of the night city time magazine, which is totally out of the ordinary.

Now, the debt owed by Dean Russell has been transferred to Ling Luxian's hands. Now let's see what he will do next?

Ling Luxian has prepared a grand stage for Dean Russell.

Now, Ling Luxian needs a gunman to be his assistant.

So, he knocked on Rebecca's door.

This little lunatic, after getting a large sum of money last time, got himself a pair of gorilla arms.

According to her, those small-caliber weapons are simply not powerful enough.

The corners of Ling Luxian's mouth twitched involuntarily. Since when did a rifle using full-power bullets become considered a small-caliber weapon?

He had no idea why this little girl was so small but had such a bad temper. She was completely different from her brother Pyrrha.

After a long time, Rebecca opened the door.

"What do you want from me?"

Rebecca's big eyes were blinking.

Ling Luxian suppressed her laughter and said, "You'd better stop wearing makeup. It doesn't suit you."

Not only is Rebecca's makeup ugly, it just doesn't match her style.

Have you ever seen a short lady who is just over 1 meter tall? This is it.

Rebecca put her hands on her waist and looked at him unhappily, "Why, is it ugly?"

"No." Ling Luxian said against his will: "It's pretty, but you are just cuter when you are not."

"Tsk." Rebecca gave him a middle finger and went back to her room to remove her makeup. "Are you feeling better now?"

"Huh~" Ling Luxian patted his chest and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If you die from trying to hold your laughter, it would be a real joke.

"Humph." Rebecca clenched her fists and asked threateningly, "Why did you call me here?"

Ling Lu replied: "I am going to participate in today's car race and I need an assistant. Do you want to come?"

Rebecca scratched her head, "Assistant in the racing competition? Why are you looking for me if you don't go to the uncle?"

The uncle Rebecca was talking about was, of course, Falco. However, as a driver, his appearance rate was too low. It was a pity that he was not used in these missions and did not receive any commission.

Falco is also a legendary racing driver, and was well-known before coming to Night City.

It's a pity that Ling Luxian is participating in a street race, which requires a gunner, not a driver. Now Falco has no place to use his skills.

"Hahaha." Rebecca burst into laughter after hearing Ling Luxian's explanation. "I mean, Falco is really unlucky."

"By the way." Rebecca asked again, "What if I accidentally kill a passerby?"

Rebecca was quite crazy, fearing that she would accidentally kill a passerby and the NCPD would come to cause trouble for them.

Ling Luxian's expression immediately became serious. "Although it is a street race, it is still officially supported by Night City. The NCPD won't care about it. The death of passers-by...it's just their bad luck."
