"Hey, Jax, I've already made plans with a buddy to go look at cars in Charter Hill today, so I can't accept your invitation. But if you have anything else, I mean, anything urgent, just call me anytime and I'll be right there, you know, love you, bro."
After hanging up with Jackie, Jax checked his contacts. He had already called Sasha.
Little Kitty was in Dogtown again, saying she hadn't finished dealing with her sister's affairs; her idiotic brother-in-law seemed to have started cooperating with local Dogtown gangs...
So, after a moment, Jax dialed another number.
"Speak," Kiwi's cold voice rang out.
In the video, Kiwi was draped in a long red towel, her upper body bare, with the long towel covering her chest on both sides. Below Kiwi's delicate collarbone, there were two large silver plates.
Kiwi's skin was very fair, and she looked like she had just showered. Her mechanical jaw with its visible groove was exposed as she looked at Jax coldly and said,
"I just called to ask, do you have any plans today?" Jax asked.
"I have to go to the auto repair shop in the morning; my motorcycle has some issues. In the afternoon, I need to go to a hacker shop in Japantown to buy some things. Why?"
"Nothing, I just called to ask…"
"Heh, do you have nothing to do?"
"A little. I've made several calls, but everyone seems to have their own things to do," Jax said.
When he was with the Moxes, Jax always had something to do. After joining Maine's crew, with two exciting missions and drinking and playing with Maine and them every day, honestly, being suddenly left alone made Jax feel a bit at a loss.
It was… a feeling of not knowing what to do.
"Sasha's not around, so go find a movie to watch, Jax," Kiwi said with a hint of a smile in her voice. Before Jax could react, she quickly hung up the phone.
"Damn… damn it!" Jax was amused by Kiwi's words, a mix of anger and laughter.
Lowering his head, Jax then lay on the sofa and first watched TV for a while.
But on TV… all they broadcast were recent news reports, and variety shows were the same. Mostly, news channels would pay actors to come on the show and criticize and satirize corporations.
However, Jax knew that these were all arranged by corporations, to resonate with the public and provide an outlet for their anger.
Yes, in Night City, even the personal act of getting angry was being manipulated by corporations.
"Forget it, I'll watch some Braindance then." Jax picked up the Braindance device nearby, then went to the counter, opened a small cabinet, and peered inside at several small boxes.
Those were Braindance boxes.
"Dalton's Adventure, Mount Fuji Journey, Dangerous Girl Detective, Marlena's Secret…"
"I've seen all of these."
As a Braindance enthusiast, Jax had seen all these Braindances. So, watch them again?
Forget it… he didn't have the habit of repeatedly re-experiencing something.
So, Jax dressed neatly, put on his baseball cap, and walked out the door.
Good neighbor David went to school, and Gloria was still in the hospital. She could actually be discharged, but the medical package included subsequent physical conditioning, so Gloria simply stayed in the hospital to recuperate.
As for safety…
The district hospital belonged to Night Corp, and its security level was comparable to that of a corporation. So Gloria was very safe; even the 6th Street Gang wouldn't provoke Night Corp in broad daylight, right?
After all, Night Corp was always the local power in Night City.
Walking out the door, after thinking for a moment, Jax decided to go to Heywood.
Heywood had Night City's largest commercial district; it could even be said that Night City's biggest mall was in Heywood.
The reason it wasn't in wealthy areas like City Center and Charter Hill was, naturally, because no matter how big it was built, ordinary people couldn't go there for shopping and entertainment. Class, it separated people and labeled the residents of Night City.
Taking the subway, Jax arrived at the Heywood Grand Mall before noon.
This was a mall opened by Night Corp. Compared to individual supermarkets, it was not only larger and had more products, but also had a different architectural style.
The mall had ample lighting, comfortable temperatures, huge foot traffic, GG signs everywhere, and NCPD patrolling.
Taking the escalator to the third floor, Jax quickly reached his destination, a Braindance store called — "A Bit More Braindance."
This store was in a corner on the third floor, next to a household goods store. It didn't occupy a large area, only about a few dozen square meters. Inside, there were many cabinets and shelves, and outside, various posters for the latest Braindances were displayed.
These Braindances were legitimate, not produced by independent vendors, but recorded and produced by various Braindance corporations.
Looking at the various Braindances, Jax felt dazzled.
Action, travel, adult, film, and even experiencing the high-end life of a corporate dog—anyway, with Braindance, there's nothing you can't imagine, nothing it can't do.
Being able to enjoy a second life anytime, anywhere—that was the meaning of Braindance.
Never mind if it's fake, just tell me if it feels good or not!
Jax selected three action Braindances, then looked at the shelf for idol Braindances.
There, in addition to adult film stars, there were also various Braindances filmed by idols. The former focused on sex education, while the latter offered photo collections and various experiences.
For example… experiencing a day as a girlfriend with a young idol?
And soon, Jax picked out two Braindances from that shelf, two identical ones — the latest "Dangerous Girl" Braindance. He bought two, one for himself, and the other, naturally, for Sasha.
After doing this, Jax then looked at the shelf in front. This shelf was very small, featuring special scenic Braindances. It was placed in the corner, but visible to people walking through several rows of shelves.
Jax looked at the notice, walked forward, and reached out to take a Braindance to look at.
But in the next moment, another hand also reached out.
And its direction was the same as Jax's.
Jax pulled back his hand, and that hand also pulled back.
Then, the two people stared at each other in the Braindance store.
The other person was clearly stunned, looking at Jax, and after a while, said, "How are you here?"
"I was about to ask you…" Jax said, looking at the other person, then continued, "Are you also here to buy Braindance?"
That question was practically pointless to ask…
"Mm."
Tossing her hair, Lucy then crossed her arms and looked at Jax.
She truly hadn't expected to run into Jax at a Braindance store…
