Chapter 969: Chapter 769 Memorial Service and Wildfire

Nakamura Mizuki held a cup of hot coffee, her face expressionless as she appreciated several performances.

These included an open-air anime screening, a modern music concert, and a performance by a newly established rock band.

To her surprise, she found that Nakamura Mizuki had little common sense about life, especially leisure. She needed the guidance of A40 to try out the common entertainments in Archipelago City.

A40 was also a novice, but he had to make an effort.

It taught Nakamura Mizuki to play video games in the big arcade, buy souvenirs and fanzines at comic conventions, and sing in KTVs.

Only swinging, buying ice cream, riding the carousel, and watching movies were off-limits, as A40 did these things only with Huang Feng.

A40 also had to teach Nakamura Mizuki how to bathe in hot springs rather than stand idly by the hot water, each bath provided waterproof kits to prevent cyborgs from short-circuiting from water.

As soon as Nakamura Mizuki went in, it quickly ran away, as it couldn’t do anything to betray Huang Feng.

It was in dealing with the details of Nakamura Mizuki that A40’s cognitive module grew rapidly, eventually upgrading to level 3.79.

That was much faster than spiritual exercises. A40 thought to himself. This must be the boss’s well-intentioned plan; traveling with a woman could be considered a fierce battle. Reflecting on this, A40 was even more grateful for Xu Yang’s support.

After her bath, Nakamura Mizuki changed into a colorful traditional dress.

She walked around in a heated artificial garden, feeling buoyant and almost ethereal.

This was the first time she felt so at ease since she was born.

"Very interesting." Nakamura Mizuki said after experiencing many things, "Very interesting." She emphasized again.

"I also think it’s amazing. You didn’t yell or shout at me, or hit me with fists. You are not like a woman at all!" A40 said.

"I find your descriptions of women to be full of negative stereotypes, possibly due to your long term interaction with vile women."

"So what?"

"In reality, every woman has her distinct personality; we shouldn’t generalize a group based on individual cases." Nakamura Mizuki said.

"What about a multitude of cases?" A40 asked.

"I reserve my opinion. Anyway, I love it here." Nakamura Mizuki looked around.

Many people came to the hot springs to relax and warm baths to get rid of the chill.

Nakamura Mizuki observed their faces.

"What’s with the faces?" A40 asked.

"I have a deep impression of one event. At the West Coast, after a class on ’cultural diversity’, I was verbally discriminated against by two Caucasian female classmates because of my Eastern Hemisphere face. I tried to explain my stance rationally and mentioned my Caucasian father’s existence, but they viciously attacked me, causing me to delay my studies for three months and miss the opportunity to attend a prestigious university. I was so concerned about my facial features that I completely abandoned my original appearance, alternating different prosthetic faces ever since," Nakamura Mizuki said.

"Exactly! The features you are using now look just like a Westerner." A40 looked closely at Nakamura Mizuki’s face after hearing this.

Her prosthetic face featured a prominent nose bridge, a pair of double eyelids, and hazel-green eyes.

Nakamura Mizuki nodded.

"Yes, I once felt ashamed of my appearance. But today, after returning to the land where my mother lived, I found that there are tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, of people who look like the old me. They live peacefully, contentedly, and proudly, never feeling anything wrong with their appearance. Now, wearing this artificial face among them, I feel like a complete foreigner. On the West Coast, people don’t consider me a Caucasian; and here, people also do not see me as an Easterner." Nakamura Mizuki said.

"Do you regret it?" A40 asked.

"I regret it, but where can I find my old face now?" Nakamura Mizuki said.

All in the past.

About two days later, Nakamura Mizuki had completely adapted to the lifestyle and pace of the Northern Archipelago and then went to visit Xu Yang.

"Thank you for the tour guide. I now know the local customs here; Shangjing could definitely become my new station. I will continue to decipher my father’s data here, and I will also serve as a cybersecurity professional for Nestor Corporation." Nakamura Mizuki bowed to Xu Yang.

"You... have changed a bit." Xu Yang observed Nakamura Mizuki.

It seemed less rigid than when she first arrived.

"That’s your misconception, my psychological skills indicate that it might be related to your underlying traditional values. You tend to use your subjective language to arbitrarily deny and manipulate the opposite sex, causing them unnecessary reflection." Nakamura Mizuki said.

Well, not much change... Xu Yang thought to himself.

"Overall, here’s a contract. If you are willing to work in the cybersecurity department of Nestor Corporation, please sign here, three copies, plus a bunch of confidentiality regulations." Xu Yang flipped out the contract.

"Before I sign, I have a request." Nakamura Mizuki said.

"Go ahead." Xu Yang pressed his forehead.

"Can I work here for life?" she asked.

"We don’t offer a lifetime employment system; you can only work for a maximum of 100 years, then it’s time to consider renewal." Xu Yang explained.

"Then make it 100 years, please." Nakamura Mizuki bowed to Xu Yang.

Who knows what will happen after 100 years?

"You came at the right moment, our cybersecurity department is about to hold a formal ceremony, commemorating our fallen comrades. Participating in the ceremony also signifies you officially becoming one of us. However, it’s best not to mention at this event that you are Maverick’s daughter, although I understand your perspective, no one would emotionally tolerate you." Xu Yang moved on.
